Chapter 188: A Creak

The lifespan of humans is too short.

Lin Lin subtly sensed Lorken’s feelings when she made fun of Worgen’s short lifespan.

However, the good thing is that when your teammate is Safir, all problems are solved very quickly.

Lin Lin yawned as she listened to Safir tell her everything about time and space spells.

To be honest, the complicated possibilities and the way magic flows were really uninteresting; Lin Lin’s mind was like a sieve, letting all the difficult questions slip away, leaving only the simplest things behind.

Lin Lin thought everything Safir said made a lot of sense, and she politely showed her support.

According to Safir, so-called "time travel" should be active.

"Is there a passive possibility?" Lin Lin asked, "Like suddenly appearing in another time period?"

Safir thought Lin Lin was imagining things with no basis, "You should read fewer novels."

"I just read a normal amount," Lin Lin emphasized.

In the future, Safir’s lizard maid Donna is the true story fanatic.

"It’s not completely impossible," Safir had to change his words under Lin Lin’s strong statement, "after all, the medium of time travel carries fragments of the divine and can be influenced by the will of the gods."

Fragments of the divine… said without intention, but the listener took it to heart. Lin Lin rested her chin on her hand, looking a bit dazed.

Fragments of the divine, isn’t that his Majesty the Lamb?

Lin Lin completely did not believe that her repeated time travels were the will of that Majesty.

Although it sounded a bit overconfident, Lin Lin felt that the Majesty who worried because of her outings would not send her to other times and spaces.

Hope ultimately rested on Safir.

This trip two hundred years ago felt too long; Lin Lin thought she might not be able to "passively return" like before, she needed to know the way back.

"Teacher Safir—!" Ignoring Safir’s complicated explanations, Lin Lin raised her hand while sitting in the chair, extending her voice like a student asking a question in class.

The Sapphire Dragon stopped talking, nodded slightly, and signaled for the other person to continue speaking.

"If you figure out a way to travel through time and space, can I borrow the place and things?" the human woman said casually.

"You really should stay away from Bulwo," the Sapphire Dragon frowned slightly, "your expression and tone are becoming more like his."

Because the orca looked very confident with its shameless face, Lin Lin felt she lacked that quality.

"Because he looks cool when he talks trash with that expression," Lin Lin replied, then focused on something more important, "Can I borrow whatever you use to travel?"

"That can be arranged," Safir’s blue eyes stared at Lin Lin, "What do you need it for?"

"Didn’t you say the spell was for me?" Lin Lin teased, "Were you just saying nice things?"

"Of course not," the Sapphire Dragon couldn’t stand people’s doubts, "The spell to study time is meant to slow down the passage of time in your body; it’s different from traveling through time and space."

"Huh?" Lin Lin showed a disappointed expression, "That’s so complicated, but I really want to travel through time and space."

Because Lin Lin knew that Safir no longer disliked time magic as he did before, her attitude became relaxed and honest.

In contrast to her relaxed attitude, Sapphire Dragon’s expression became slightly serious after hearing Lin Lin’s words.

Safir lowered his head and looked into Lin Lin’s eyes.

After a few seconds of pause, Sapphire Dragon slowly spoke.

"That’s not a funny thing."

–

"He’s a rather stiff person, just like a stain from hundreds of years ago that is hard to remove from the dining table," Bulwo commented about Safir.

Although it was known that the relationship between these two was very bad, it was still surprising to see it was this bad.

"So are you thinking of getting rid of Safir?" Lin Lin asked.

"It’s really hard to kill him," the killer whale only told Lin Lin the conclusion, which was enough for Lin Lin to imagine a grand play in her mind.

Don’t worry, your brother will also try to seize power in two hundred years, although he will fail too.

"Why travel through time and space?" Unlike Safir’s cold reaction, Bulwo asked the reason very seriously.

Because I am originally from two hundred years in the future.

Lin Lin is someone who can sense the atmosphere, and sometimes this ability to read the mood can become a barrier to honesty.

"Because… I want to see the future?" Lin Lin said vaguely.

"What a great idea," Bulwo clapped, "If you get to the future, please see if I managed to defeat Safir then."

You not only did not defeat Safir, but you also betrayed the Demon King Castle.

Lin Lin stared at Bulwo with a complicated expression, then remembered an important figure, "What about Small Coal Ball?"

Bulwo said he would train this demon, but Lin Lin only saw Bulwo come back alone.

"Oh," Bulwo clapped his hands, suddenly remembering something, "it’s still at the bottom of the pool."

"What pool?" Lin Lin thought with curiosity; it seemed there was no fountain inside the Demon King Castle, but the endless underground lava was always flowing.

The orca had a similar deep-colored gaze as Lin Lin, filled with laughter, but he did not answer.

…

Lin Lin never imagined that one day she would have to fish someone out of a pool.

Although she would also pull out other messy magical creatures, at least she managed to get the little black goat out.

The moment she caught Your Majesty the Demon King, Lin Lin felt there should be a burst of golden light around her; in a game, Your Majesty the Demon King would surely be an SSR-level rare card.

Then, the young boy reached out and hugged Lin Lin tightly, burying his forehead in her neck, his body trembling slightly.

Lin Lin’s sharp gaze turned to Bulwo, "How can you do something so dangerous! Small Coal Ball is still a young demon!"

The boy who buried himself in Lin Lin’s arms imitated her expression and gave Bulwo a cold glance.

The smiling orca rubbed its teeth; even though it was indeed his doing, for some reason, he felt a strange anger at that moment.

Bulwo looked at the boy, "Didn’t you just gulp down half a pool of lava this afternoon? Why don’t you say something now?"

The beautiful and fragile boy leaned on Lin Lin’s shoulder and shook his head gently, saying nothing.

I’m too full to speak, the boy thought.

However, the lava did affect him; for instance, right now, his brain still felt hot and fuzzy, as if he were soaking in hot water.

Ever since he gained a human form, Lin Lin had become less close than before, even keeping some distance because she suspected he was a fragment of the God of Darkness.

The young demon’s gaze involuntarily fell on the side of Lin Lin’s neck.

The mark left on the woman’s neck had a wonderful allure for him.

One of the features of the demon race is "making contracts," and compared to other races, they are better at creating agreements, forming this delicate two-way exchange.

Whether in real life or in stories, "contracts" are like a skill that the demon race does not need to learn.

He still wanted to remove that mark and replace it with his own contract.

The boy keenly noticed that while the mark was powerful, it did not seem very strong, which was a signal that its owner was far away.

Could they already be dead?

The boy showed a relieved smile.
