Chapter 151: The Gaze Became More Focused
Since Lin Lin became unsure about the "time reversal," part of the financial work was entrusted to Caligo to avoid starting over.
The Dark Mage accepted this new task very obediently; he never questioned the strange reasons for the assignments from the Demon King Castle.
What truly surprised Caligo was that he finally became a permanent staff member, transitioning from a contractor at the Demon King Castle to a regular employee, not in a leadership role, but just like the Worgen guards.
When Caligo received his first paycheck, the usually calm Caligo stared at the gold coins repeatedly; he had never thought he would see any money at the Demon King Castle, so it was quite fascinating.
"Don’t those guys usually pay you overtime?" Lin Lin remembered that Caligo had to work for the demon race he made a contract with and also provide all sorts of help to the officials at the Demon King Castle, almost like a model worker.
But thinking carefully, the Demon King Castle was already quite poor; among the officials, there seemed to be no real wealthy people except for Safir, who was also a villain, making the Demon King seem somewhat kind.
It’s terrifying, really terrifying, that Caligo had been working illegally for such a long time at such a young age.
Lin Lin felt complicated emotions and gently patted Caligo’s head for comfort.
The young Dark Mage felt incredibly moved, "…Thank you, I will work very hard."
No, as a Dark Mage feared by humans and one of the future pillars of the Demon King Castle, please keep some mystery and do not appear so simple and easy to trick, I beg you.
Faced with such a easily satisfied young man, Lin Lin had to share her experience, "If they purposely bring the papers without sticking them properly, just to make you fix them, throw the papers in their face without hesitation."
Caligo subtly understood why everyone in the Demon King Castle showed great respect when they saw Lin Lin.
Lin Lin’s work demeanor did not seem very kind. Caligo thought to himself.
As for later, the usually calm and composed Dark Mage, who had been teased for being too dull by the monsters, would truly go crazy when taking over the accounting job, showcasing the deep truth of "how can anyone not go mad being an accountant." That would happen a few days later.
Lin Lin was happily enjoying her vacation, having discovered new fun.
When Lin Lin stopped storing the light-type power in her magic wand and instead channeled it back into herself, creating a cycle, she began to shine brightly.
Even though it wasn’t as dramatic as the floating gold dust in the sanctuary, Lin Lin’s surroundings did look a bit brighter.
Lin Lin felt like a lightbulb that could turn itself on and off.
Moreover, Lin Lin discovered that this light also had a beauty effect, making her look pure and lovely.
Is this the skill of the Holy Maiden? Lin Lin sincerely believed that this skill was meant to create an atmosphere in front of the followers of the God of Light. For example, although angels have different duties, all angels give a feeling of holiness.
But when she radiated a soft glow, the dark creatures born from darkness began to stay away from her. Lin Lin guessed that this light made them feel uncomfortable.
Lin Lin had to choose a quiet courtyard in the Demon King Castle to try out her new discovery on a calmer night.
Anyway, she had plenty of time now.
Bright, not bright, bright, not bright.
In the dim courtyard, Lin Lin was brighter than the old streetlight.
Lin Lin was lost in her little discovery and regretted that she couldn’t share this joy with others, as most people in the Demon King Castle could not approach the radiant glow she was giving off.
Unfortunately, what Lin Lin did was not as secretive as she thought.
She only vaguely knew that the Demon King was connected to the entire demon realm, but she did not understand its makeup.
Pain.
Whenever Lin Lin began to use that glow, His Majesty the Demon King could feel that dull pain no matter where he was; it was not obvious, but it could not be ignored, like a tiny thorn repeatedly pricking his skin.
The violet eyes opened wide again and again in the night, shining brightly in the darkness for the demon race.
Pain meant that Lin Lin had not lost herself in another "time"; they were stepping into the same river of time. Thinking that way, the Demon King, who always avoided pain, began to slowly realize that perhaps pain was not entirely a bad thing.
The young man with dark hair rose from the layers of black blankets and went to the balcony. The pure white curtains were blown by the cold night wind, and the demon race’s keen eyesight helped him clearly see the woman practicing light-type spells in the yard.
The woman’s back looked straight and slender.
When Lin Lin’s figure clearly reflected in the Demon King’s eyes, the young man’s gaze became increasingly focused, and the pain became blurred.
The Demon King tilted his head, and some of his long hair covered one-third of his face.
I want to.
I want to pull her into the nest formed by my tail and spend this long winter.
I want to.
I want to kiss her, I want to bite her, I want her to scratch my chin and gently ask me, "Whose little lamb are you?"
I want to.
The Demon King opened his mouth, his rosy lips and tongue curling in the air, and his throat swallowed nothingness.
Greed is the original sin of the demon race. It took Safir many years to teach the Demon King what "restraint" meant, as he shared the same sin.
"Restraint" is for a happier future.
A sharp black tail with little black scales peeked out from under the black robe, twisting as the Demon King held his face with both hands.
Happiness. Happiness. Happiness.
His self-control now is for more happiness tomorrow.
Just like saving the cherry on top of a small cake for the last bite, like waiting for a bud to blossom into a fragrant rose.
As long as he is more obedient, Lin Lin will like him more.
The Demon King pushed open the door and stood on the balcony, the cold wind blowing his robe like a princess’s dress on a tall tower.
The Demon King stared at Lin Lin without blinking.
A thick black fog blossomed into layers of petals behind the young man, filling the air with a sweet scent.
Happiness, happiness.
The Demon King watched as Lin Lin clumsily waved her magic wand; it seemed she was trying a new spell again.
Even though it was a terrible light-type spell, Lin Lin was able to use it with great beauty; Lin Lin was truly amazing.
Happy, happy.
Lin Lin’s body glowed once more, and this light was brighter than any before.
The Demon King felt this brightness stab at him with pain.
Although the pain came from Lin Lin, it was really the fault of the bad God of Light; Lin Lin was innocent.
The glowing Lin Lin flickered a few times, then suddenly looked up at the sky, not towards the Demon King, but towards the moon.
The light from Lin Lin flickered once again.
She suddenly went dark.
Yes, extinguish.
In the darkness, there was no longer any light related to the light-type power.
Lin Lin vanished.
The Demon King’s happiness came to an abrupt end.
The smile on the Demon King’s face faded away.
The Demon King heard the sound of his own heart breaking.
–
Red Moon.
Lin Lin looked up at the moon in the pitch-black sky.
She didn’t know if it was because she had seen it too many times, but she had already started to get used to this strange sight that was unusual for creatures on the ground.
She experienced the time rewind once again.
Unlike before, this time Lin Lin did not appear in the comforting Demon King Castle; she found herself in a desolate ruin.
Beneath her feet were broken stone tiles, and the wind whipped up white dust, blowing it further away.
The cold wind brushed against her face, and her ears heard the cries of wild beasts. Lin Lin opened her palm, and a magic wand set with striking luxury gems appeared in her hand.
Unlike any previous training, this time Lin Lin was alone.
Although the Demon King, Safir, Orion, Felix, and even some helpful monsters would sometimes give her suggestions for her "battle," most of the time, they would casually tell her, "You just need to focus on attacking ahead."
Because demon races, dragons, undead, dark elves, and dark creatures would stand behind her.
Now, clearly, there was no comfortable training environment like that.
In a low howl, several wolves with black-gray fur crouched down and slowly moved closer to her.
Although the black wolf was large, it was not a monster but a real wolf, and Lin Lin could easily tell the difference between the two.
Her gaze fell on the lead wolf as Lin Lin looked at the beast.
She could defeat this wolf, but how could she scare it away without hurting them too much?
While Lin Lin was thinking.
A silver arrow appeared in front of her, striking the lead wolf on its shoulder. The black wolf cried out, and then the wolf pack scattered in all directions.
Lin Lin looked up and saw, under the moonlight, the Moon Elf still holding his longbow.
