Kevin smiled smugly, then carefully placed the stove in the center of the cabin, following the steps he had just learned during training. After installing the chimney, he skillfully added coal and firewood to the stove, then grabbed a handful of sawdust and put it in. He then took out a tinderbox, blew on it gently, and lit the sawdust.
In an instant, a small flame leaped up, flickering a faint light in the dim wooden house.
Kevin waited quietly for the coal in the stove to start burning.
Time passed by, and soon the coal was burning. The bright red flames licked the furnace walls merrily, making crackling sounds.
A surge of astonishing heat slowly emanated from the furnace walls, gradually warming the originally cold wooden house.
"So warm!"
Attracted by the heat emanating from the stove, old Mike slowly moved closer to it, slightly opening his arms to greedily feel the warmth radiating from it.
That warmth, like a gentle hand, softly caressed his body, gradually restoring sensation to his long-frozen limbs.
After a while, when the heat emanating from the stove enveloped the entire cabin like an invisible net, Old Mike was surprised to find that the cabin was now as warm as springtime.
Even though he no longer tightly wrapped himself in that tattered animal skin, he felt no cold at all; all that remained was boundless warmth, as if the harsh winter had never arrived.
"Was this a gift from the lord?"
Old Mike stared at the roaring fire in the stove, his voice trembling slightly, his eyes filled with disbelief.
"Uncle Mike, this is a gift from the lord to his people. Not just you, but all the people of Winterhold will receive one! The lord said that with this fireplace, the people will be able to safely get through the winter! After we've distributed them to the people of Winterhold, we'll go to Thorn City to distribute them too!"
Kevin stood tall, his face beaming with pride, as if he shared in the glory.
Old Mike instinctively looked outside and saw that several houses in the vicinity were bustling with activity.
It turned out that the short-haired girl who was in charge had arranged for people to go door-to-door and distribute the magical stove.
Old Mike recognized the little girl as Roselle, who had recently taken up a position at the lord's manor.
She calmly directed the city guards to deliver stoves and coal to each household, her gentle smile making everyone feel incredibly welcome.
Seeing this, Old Mike finally believed that the fireplace was indeed a gift from the lord.
His eyes gradually welled up with tears. He knelt tremblingly on the ground, clasped his hands together, and bowed deeply in the direction of the lord's mansion, repeatedly saying, "Thank you, Lord! Thank you, Lord! We can never repay your kindness!"
Not just Old Mike, but at this moment, all the people who received the furnaces knelt down devoutly as if they had been summoned by some kind of call, their eyes filled with gratitude and awe, thanking the lord for his kindness.
Nowadays, they worship their lord more than any ethereal deity.
They knew that in this harsh winter, it was the stove sent by the lord that, like the warm sun in winter, illuminated their lives and warmed their hearts.
Inside the wooden house, a young couple held their one-month-old baby tightly in their arms, sitting around a roaring fireplace.
Their faces showed weariness, but also relief, as they felt the warmth emanating from the stove.
That warmth, like a mother's embrace, made them feel incredibly safe and secure.
The baby in the young couple's arms had a rosy face, like a ripe apple, and was fast asleep with its eyes closed, a faint smile on its lips, as if it were having a sweet dream.
The young couple, looking at their sleeping baby in their arms, had an overwhelming sense of gratitude on their faces, like a flood bursting its banks.
This harsh winter had already plunged the couple into despair.
The newborn life in their arms was so fragile and delicate that it could not withstand the biting cold.
The child's face was already blue and purple from the cold, and his breathing had become weak and rapid, as if he might stop breathing at any moment.
At that moment, their hearts felt as if they were being gripped tightly by an invisible hand, causing them unbearable pain, and they felt as if the sky was about to fall.
Just then, Luo Suli arrived with the city guards braving the wind and snow.
Like saviors, they brought this thing called a stove, and also brought hope to the desperate couple.
As the roaring flames in the stove warmed the entire cold room like a spark of hope, the baby in the couple's arms, who had been on the verge of death from the cold, finally began to breathe steadily and slowly again.
The faint yet firm sound of their breathing was like the most beautiful melody in the world, bringing tears of joy to the couple's eyes.
The child was saved, and the young couple knelt down reverently, their eyes filled with tears of joy.
They clasped their hands together and murmured, "Gods above, thank you, Lord, my child is saved!"
"From this day forward, I will be the Lord's most loyal subject, and I will go through fire and water for the Lord without hesitation! I will even give my life without fear!"
Scenes like these continue to unfold in the homes of the people.
One batch of stoves after another were sent out, like messengers of warmth, lighting warm fires in the homes of the people.
The leaping flames, like a symbol of hope, illuminated every corner.
They could not only warm themselves by the fire and ward off the chill, but also use the heat of the flames to boil water.
As everyone felt the warmth emanating from the fireplace and drank the hot water boiled in it, all the people in the entire territory praised and thanked Link for his kindness.
Their hearts were filled with gratitude and reverence for their lord, a sentiment that, like a fireplace in winter, would forever warm their hearts.
78. Lucrezia's situation (4000 words!)
As night slowly fell, Link led Lucrezia to a side room next to her bedroom.
Looking back on the bet that morning, Link ultimately emerged victorious.
Lucrezia has always been a person who accepts her losses, and at this moment she was full of curiosity, wondering what kind of clothes her Lord Link wanted her to try on.
Link deftly opened the several animal skin chests in the room one by one, revealing them to be full of erotic costumes he had previously obtained through draws.
These clothes come in various styles and materials; some are sexy and charming, while others are playful and cute.
Lucrezia's gaze swept through the box, and suddenly, her eyes settled on several pieces of sexy lace lingerie with open crotches and low necklines.
In an instant, her face flushed red, as if dyed by the sunset.
A sense of shyness and nervousness welled up in her heart as she secretly wondered if Lord Link really intended for her to wear these clothes.
Just as she expected, she guessed right!
However, Link didn't immediately make her wear those revealing lingerie pieces.
He first carefully examined Lucrezia's figure, his focused gaze as if he were measuring a precious work of art.
Then, Link pulled out two sets of erotic costumes from the animal skin box.
One set features a catgirl design, with fluffy cat ears and a playful tail that can instantly transform you into a lively little kitten; the other set is a bunny girl style, exuding a playful and sexy vibe.
Both outfits were carefully folded and placed in transparent plastic bags. From the outside, there were some subtle differences, and Lucrezia could hardly tell them apart without careful examination.
Link smiled slightly as he looked at Lucrezia and said, "Come on, my little knight, why don't you choose one to try on, or perhaps try both?"
Lucrezia's face flushed even redder, her heart pounded, and in her panic, she pointed to the bunny girl outfit and said, "This...this one will do!"
However, she soon regretted her choice.
Lucrezia went into the small room next door and carefully put on the bunny girl outfit.
When she stood in front of the mirror and looked at herself, she couldn't help but widen her eyes.
The front of this bunny girl lingerie outfit is made of almost transparent white lace.
After putting it on, her two pink nipples, partially concealed by the white lace, seemed to hold endless allure.
Looking further down, the design of her dress, which was almost open in the front and back, exposed large swathes of her snow-white skin without reservation.
Between the two thin pieces of fabric, a thin rope is deliberately crossed and tied together like a shoelace, adding a sense of concealment, but making it even more alluring.
The reflection in the mirror looked absolutely irresistible.
Lucrezia felt her face burning hot, as if it were on fire.
It was so embarrassing; she never imagined she would wear such a daring outfit.
After a long while, she finally walked out of the small room with hesitant steps.
She frantically covered her chest with her left hand, while her right hand tried to cover her private parts. Her fair and delicate skin was flushed with shyness, like a beautiful peach blossom in spring, breathtakingly beautiful.
Her charming, alluring, and sweet appearance instantly stirred Link's heart, making him eager to eat, and his desire surged like a tide in his heart.
“No need to hide it, I think Miss Lucrezia is very beautiful and cute like this~” Link said with a smirk.
"Cute...and so on..."
Lucrezia's pretty face flushed red, her head lowered so low it was almost buried in her chest, and she murmured in a voice barely audible.
Just as Lucrezia was still basking in her shyness and hadn't yet reacted, Link's restless "wandering hand" had already reached out.
He gripped Lucrezia's slender arm tightly and pulled her into his embrace.
Immediately afterwards, those large hands, carrying a hint of evil, began to roam freely over her body, their movements bold and unrestrained.
Lucrezia's figure was perfectly developed, with every curve just right, as if she were a work of art carefully sculpted by God.
Her curvaceous figure is breathtaking.
Especially her pair of proud breasts, which are quite large in size, yet perfectly shaped.
They resemble water droplets flowing slowly down a wall, their lines smooth and beautiful, possessing a fatal allure that seems capable of stealing the soul of any man, leaving them drooling with desire.
Its full curves, swaying slightly, exude endless charm, making one want to explore them further.
Her snow-white waist and lower abdomen were as smooth and delicate as silk.
Thanks to consistent daily exercise, there is not an ounce of excess fat here, nor any unpleasant, exaggerated muscle definition.
Every inch of her skin was firm and elastic, smooth as a peeled egg, and flawlessly perfect.
The gaze continued downwards, where a few sparse strands of soft, golden hair lay gently on the fair, tender vulva.
Through the almost transparent white lace crotch, one can vaguely see the mysterious private area, which adds to the mysterious allure, as if silently telling of endless desire.
Her long, slender, fair legs were straight and well-proportioned, with lines as beautiful as a sculpture.
Paired with those delicate and adorable little feet, it's simply the perfect gun mount, sparking all sorts of fantasies.
At this moment, Link's extremely aggressive gaze was brazenly roaming over Lucrezia's body.
Lucrezia seemed to sense the intense gaze, and her cheeks instantly flushed crimson, like the sunset on the horizon.
She twisted her delicate body slightly, trying to avoid Link's fiery gaze. Her eyes darted around, not daring to meet Link's eyes. Her shy appearance was like a flower bud about to bloom, making people feel sorry for her.
Link couldn't help but smirk as he looked at Lucrezia's shy expression.
He reached out his large hand and slowly ran it across Lucrezia's slender waist, the movement gentle yet slightly provocative.
Immediately afterwards, his large hand brazenly grabbed Lucrezia's pert buttocks and squeezed them hard.
The soft and elastic touch sent a shiver through Link's heart.
"what!"
Lucrezia couldn't help but let out a soft cry, her delicate body trembling slightly with the sudden movement.
She lowered her head in embarrassment, burying her face as if she wanted to disappear into the ground, unwilling to face this awkward scene.
Seeing Lucrezia's shy expression, Link's smile grew even more wicked.
His eyes were fixed on Lucrezia, his gaze filled with a burning desire as if he wanted to devour her whole.
“Lukrezia, your ass is so soft, I can hardly control myself.” Link’s voice was slightly hoarse and full of temptation.
Upon hearing Link praise her soft buttocks, Lucrezia's cheeks instantly turned crimson, as if they were about to bleed.
She buried her face in Link's chest, not daring to lift her head. Her shy appearance only intensified Link's desire.
Upon seeing this, Link felt flames instantly ignite all over his body, as if a fire was raging within him, and he could no longer control his desires.
Without hesitation, he stretched out his arms and hugged Lucrezia tightly.
Lucrezia's skin was so smooth and delicate that it seemed as if a light touch would leave a mark.
In addition, her well-developed figure, with perfect curves, is full of curves in all the right places, exuding the unique charm of a young girl, fresh and captivating.
As expected of the perfect princess knight in the game, she is truly top-tier!
Link secretly admired him.
Link held the woman in his arms, and one of his hands, like a nimble snake, clung to Lucrezia's soft breasts.
Through the white lace, he began to mischievously rub it, the delicate touch making him unable to stop.
On the other side, Link kissed her red lips without hesitation, greedily sucking the sweet and soft saliva from Lucrezia's mouth as if it were the most delicious thing in the world.
His other hand slowly traced down her smooth, flat abdomen, caressing every inch of her skin. The delicate touch made his heart beat faster and faster.
When Link's large hand reached that private place, Lucrezia finally couldn't help but let out a soft moan.
