The morning sunlight fell gently.
Soren slowly woke up from his sleep, perhaps due to the immense satisfaction he experienced last night, or perhaps because he hadn’t truly rested well for a long time. He actually slept until nearly noon before waking up, the faint lingering scent still around his nose, and his fingertips seemed to retain the smooth and tender touch from last night. However, Gloria’s figure had long since disappeared, and even the signs of last night’s chaos had been cleaned up thoroughly.
For a High-Level Northern Witch, this was merely a trivial matter!
On the bedside cabinet, a neatly folded set of brand-new clothes awaited him—these were not the adventurer attire that Soren was accustomed to, but rather simple, loose-fitting, comfortable garments, styled somewhat to the preference of Northern nobility, as both men and women from the North favored corseted designs. Soren stood up naked, moved his muscles a bit, and then changed into the rather casual outfit. It was then he realized how tense he had lived in the past, to the point that aside from battle gear, he had never prepared any kind of loungewear for himself.
Indeed.
All of Soren’s clothing was designed for combat; he had never considered such outfit that restricted his leg movement.
Basically, all his clothing had been like martial arts uniforms, allowing for great freedom of movement, but in reality, the clothes people usually wore were somewhat similar to what he wore now—a high kick could easily turn into an embarrassing incident if one wasn’t careful. In the past, Soren probably wouldn’t have donned such attire since he always remained prepared for battle. But clearly, this was prepared by Gloria for him, so he wore it, especially since this was Gloria’s Wizard Tower.
Hearing some noise in the room,
He immediately heard a dull thudding sound, as a clay golem entered holding a breakfast box, slightly bowing its head as it said, “Your Excellency! This is what the master prepared for you.”
“She is in the laboratory right now; the master instructed that you could find her after you wake up.”
Clay golems expend little energy.
They are the standard low-level golems present in the Wizard Tower, operating almost the entire day. Usually, these golems are responsible for cleaning within the tower, and many have a fairly high level of intelligence. After receiving a nod from Soren, the clay golem, much like a servant, brought over the breakfast box and placed it steadily on the table. Its weight was approximately six hundred pounds, much taller than an adult, suitable for performing heavy tasks.
Breakfast was quite simple.
Since this was the Wizard Tower, the food also had a wizardly theme, as wizards mostly enjoy drinking morning tea.
Tea bricks from the East were ground down to make something akin to milk tea.
Soren wasn’t particularly fond of this taste, but he didn’t reject it either; he only ate a few slices of bacon, a large chunk of white bread, and finally gulped down the milk tea.
When it comes to delicacies, aside from halflings, no regional race can compare to my great Chinese foodies.
Soren quickly headed towards the laboratory.
It seemed that Gloria had released his permissions within the Wizard Tower, as Soren could actually give simple commands to the puppet golems, such as leading the way or opening certain rooms. In truth, powerful women in this world often have a commanding presence. Soren never expected that a closer relationship would make the other person utterly obedient. He was a man who rose from the Underdark, where Drow elves would, for their own interests, quickly turn a man who was once devoted into mere pieces of meat on the ground.
It’s easy to imagine that a man who has been in the Underdark wouldn’t have overly naive thoughts about any woman.
Laboratory.
When Soren entered, Gloria seemed already aware.
However, she didn’t turn to look at him; instead, she remained focused, staring intently at a small piece of silvery metal. Gloria wore a pair of special black-framed glasses; at that moment, a faint glow emanated from the crystal lenses, while her workspace was filled with an array of tightly packed instrument parts and test tubes filled with unknown liquids. In her current state, she lacked the charming allure from last night, as she now wore a heavy wizard robe covered in numerous intricate defensive runes; if any accidents were to occur, the spells inscribed on that robe would activate to protect her from various emergencies.
No wizard’s experiment is absolutely safe!
One could say that alchemical skills are honed through explosions and mistakes; without paying attention to protections against unforeseen events, a wizard could easily perish in their own experiments.
“You’re awake?”
As Soren’s footsteps approached, Gloria lightly waved her fingers, using ‘Mage Hand’ to set down the silvery piece of metal. She slowly removed her golden-rimmed black glasses, turned to Soren, and with a tender smile said, “You really slept like a baby last night. I saw you sleeping soundly after I got up and didn’t wake you.”
Soren gazed at the incredibly beautiful woman before him; even with her wearing that hefty wizard robe, it couldn’t conceal her curvaceous figure. He opened his arms and embraced Gloria, who did not shy away but gently nestled into his embrace, like a little kitten adjusting to a more comfortable position.
A warm embrace.
Soren could smell her fragrant hair, his usually sharp gaze softened at that moment, and he slowly said, “Hmm. I slept very deeply last night. But I didn’t expect you to recover so quickly today despite having been so exposed and vulnerable.”
Upon hearing this, a tinge of blush appeared on Gloria’s charming face, and she lightly punched him, lifting her head defiantly, and said, “It was just the first time; I wasn’t quite used to it. Don’t forget I’m a High-Level Witch, a prepared spellcaster can handle any situation calmly.”
Soren, with a hint of suggestion, said, “Like the Grease spell?”
Gloria instantly turned red and turned her back to him, as if something hidden had been exposed.
Sure enough!
A knowing look appeared on Soren’s face.
No wonder last night felt particularly smooth; he had thought it was Gloria’s unique physique but found out she had secretly used some special Grease spell.
The spellcaster truly is versatile!
He extended his arms from behind to wrap around Gloria’s slender waist, leaned down, and kissed her earlobe, then pulled her soft body tightly into his embrace, both of them enjoying their closeness. After a while, Soren turned Gloria’s body around and gazed at her beautiful face, bending down to kiss her lips. Gloria couldn’t help but close her eyes and wrapped her arms around Soren’s neck. Compared to the awkwardness of last night, she had learned some small techniques from Soren, and their tongues occasionally engaged in a playful chase.
Her breath quickened, and her charming face flushed.
“Another time?”
Soren breathed softly, his hands already grasping her full bosom, gently squeezing through the fabric.
Gloria’s body trembled slightly, shaking her head, “No. It still hurts a bit!”
“Hmm.”
“Maybe let me drink a bottle of healing potion first?”
At first, she obviously wanted to refuse, but once she felt Soren’s heat and firmness, she couldn’t help but gently bite her lip and suggested something that made Soren chuckle in amusement.
Pfft.
Soren actually rarely laughed.
But when Gloria suggested drinking a healing potion first, it seemed to hit a funny bone, and he suddenly lost interest in continuing with anything further, tightening his hold and planting a quick kiss on her lips.
The two embraced for a little while longer.
Then Gloria, face flushed and heart racing, pushed Soren out because his fingers weren’t exactly behaving; in fact, a Wanderer’s hands were never obedient.
Gloria needed to continue her experiments before they headed to the Overseas Islands.
As a noble and powerful Northern Witch, she would never lose herself in carnal pleasures. She did enjoy the joy and happiness that Soren brought her, but that was merely an embellishment in life. She had an important task to complete soon, as Gloria had a premonition that if she went to the Overseas Islands, she might not have the chance to return for a while.
