Volume 1 Chapter 521

Chapter 521: Mamo Dudu Rides

Lolth was deeply concerned about whether Osmeda had the ability to transform into a giant.

From a logical standpoint, it seemed unlikely.

Yet, Lolth lingered for an additional three to five minutes.

Still, Osmeda showed no signs of becoming a giant.

He hadn’t even reached the second-rank.

Lolth shook her head in disappointment.

Given that Osmeda couldn’t transform into a giant, the outcome of the battle was all but decided.

Qiong had likely enhanced his strength with a secret potion, making it improbable to defeat him completely before the time limit, especially with his full resistance.

Once Qiong’s Holy Domain experience card expired, the remaining forces wouldn’t pose a significant threat to the old man.

However, on the flip side…

Osmeda, the Chancellor Duke, might only manage to save his own life.

Anticipating the next events, Lolth foresaw what was to come.

"Let’s go, Dorothy, we must continue our journey," Lolth urged.

The next challenger would likely surpass Osmeda in strength.

Perhaps even King South Sotua himself would appear.

And when the king takes action, Lolth knew… while he might swiftly quell the rebellion, his ambitions extended beyond mere suppression.

The conflict would intensify… thus, it was wise not to linger.

Though Lolth was eager to witness the father-daughter duel, Dorothy’s safety was paramount.

As for Lalea and Qiong, Lolth harbored no concerns.

She still hadn’t seen Yi either.

With her presence, there was no need for Lolth to intervene.

Noticing Dorothy’s deep absorption in the battle, Lolth gently tapped her.

The young girl snapped out of her trance and glanced at her teacher, slightly embarrassed.

"Sorry, teacher, I… I got a bit too engrossed."

"It’s alright, observing battles of this caliber is beneficial," Lolth said, gently stroking her head, "You’ll enter that realm someday."

With these words, Lolth led the slightly bewildered girl further east.

As they strolled along the path, Lolth soon encountered a riderless warhorse.

Whether it had fled in fear or been abandoned by its owner, it wandered aimlessly, far from the battlefield.

Soon, this horse, devoid of its knight and imbued with a magical essence, would likely fall prey to some monster.

Such are the ravages of war, yet for Lolth, it presented an opportunity.

The sudden appearance of an ownerless warhorse was as if a new vehicle had spawned by the roadside!

If Lolth didn’t take advantage of this, she would feel sorry for the horse circling here.

Watching the frightened horse spinning around, Lolth glanced at Dorothy.

"You must be tired… How about I let you ride the horse for a while?"

As Lolth spoke, Dorothy looked at the tall, armored horse and nodded slightly.

"Can I, Teacher?"

"Of course you can!"

Lolth replied with a smile.

Though she couldn’t directly control living creatures as Dorothy had before her memory loss, Lolth, who often cared for animals, could tame some wild animals and even magical beasts without resorting to any extraordinary powers.

For animals like warhorses, which had already been raised by humans, Lolth could easily gain their trust.

She slowly approached the horse, which still seemed startled, calming her breath, watching it, and moving slowly while trying to convey her kindness.

She looked into the horse’s eyes, and surprisingly, the horse seemed to calm down a bit from making eye contact with Lolth.

At the same time, because Lolth bent down and kept her hands low, the warhorse, after stepping back two steps initially, no longer moved away.

Then, Lolth took out a fresh and sweet… from her pocket.

Carrot.

Always carrying various high-quality ingredients is a basic skill for a chef, especially after having a "portable refrigerator." This time, Lolth had brought a lot of packed meals and fruits and vegetables as high-quality ingredients for her trip.

This carrot was definitely not one of the ordinary ones she usually used for feed.

It was a super carrot that Lolth had grown herself!

Even among extraordinary cooking ingredients, this one was considered among the very best.

If the apple fruit from the sacred tree deep in Eden Palace, filled with the power of Holy Light, was called a "golden apple," then Lolth’s carrot could be called a "golden carrot"!

The moment she took it out, Dorothy felt as if it was really glowing with a shiny golden light.

The horse also felt the same illusion.

Its gaze instantly shifted to Lolth’s hand and couldn’t look away.

Lolth brought the carrot to the horse’s mouth, and the horse opened its mouth without any hesitation.

Then, it took a bite.

The horse had a happy look on its face.

Although it was unclear how the horse made that expression, this horse, which was professionally trained and had fought alongside its brave rider, became Lolth’s friend the moment it tasted the carrot.

Seeing the horse’s expression, Lolth placed the whole carrot into its mouth and patted its neck.

"Good boy, good boy."

As she said this, Lolth waved to Dorothy behind her.

"All is good, Dorothy."

With a smile, Dorothy quickly walked over in surprise.

"So amazing… Teacher…"

She looked at the gentle horse chewing on a carrot, her face showing surprise.

Dorothy felt that it was truly not a difficult task for Lolth, because she trusted her, so she did not find it strange or surprising that the horse was tamed so quickly.

However, the fact that her teacher used no extraordinary power at all, and achieved this with simple actions, sounds, and feeding, made Dorothy realize something even though she had lost her memory…

This seemed very unbelievable.

"What’s the big deal? Even legendary level monsters are not too hard to deal with, as long as they aren’t too difficult or have bad personalities," Lolth said proudly, removing the horse’s unnecessary armor and then climbing on by pulling the reins and stepping on the stirrup. "Come on—let’s ride!"

As she said this, she easily pulled Dorothy up onto the horse, holding her in front of her.

Being held by Lolth and sitting sideways on the saddle, Dorothy suddenly felt a physical closeness that was a hundred times more intimate than holding hands, and she felt her face heating up.

The horse began to walk steadily in little steps as Lolth shook the reins, and Dorothy’s heart raced along with the rhythm of the hooves.

Smelling the faint fragrance that came from Lolth, Dorothy secretly raised her head to admire the girl’s beautiful chin and profile, and for the first time, she felt a hint of doubt about Lolth’s earlier words.

"Is my relationship with Teacher Lolth… really just a simple teacher-student relationship?"

As Dorothy looked at Lolth this way, her heart couldn’t help but feel a little enraptured.
