Chapter 21

In the early morning, Sigma opened his eyes to the crisp sound of birds chirping, nearly shedding tears.

If he wasn’t mistaken, today was the first time in months that he had woken up normally, without terrifying nightmares, strange things in the blanket, or grotesque, nauseating spirits by the bed... In short, it was truly wonderful.

Where was Luluwei? She hadn’t been seen since yesterday. Damn, it was better if she had disappeared. The best place for such a capricious and deadly female ghost would be under an old locust tree in a deserted cathedral, where she would be forced by an ancient locust tree spirit to seduce blind men to suck their life potential, and eventually be destroyed by a reckless young man aiming for a fourth-level divine rank and a bearded holy knight who meddles in everything.

He finished washing up, changed his clothes, and heated a piece of breadfruit, a specialty of the Natural Kingdom, which was indeed quite delicious. After finishing his meal, he thought of Licos. He wondered if the seemingly dull emotional idiot had succeeded in his confession?

He went out, asked for directions, and headed straight for the residence of the girl named Elisa. If he could run into Licos with black circles under his eyes, yawning and holding his waist as he came out of the girl’s room, then hahaha, there would be nothing to say, just a fireball straight to his face would be perfect.

However, when Sigma saw Licos, he instinctively realized that things seemed to have taken a tragic turn.

Elisa lived in a detached apartment, a small wooden house of her own, with a fence and climbing plants and flowers that she seemed to have planted herself. It was clear that she was a delicate and gentle girl, but at the moment, her door was tightly shut.

Licos stood in front of the door, his back radiating a strong aura of decay, as if he had completely fallen apart.

Listening closely, Sigma heard Licos repeating in a monotonous, low voice, as if reciting a chant: "So, Elisa, you know, Moon is a cute dog. She likes me, and I like her. She always sticks to me, making me take her out to play. You know, Moon is very smart. She knows that I only take her out when I’m dressed. So when I’m very tired or busy and don’t want to take her out to play, I’ll take off my clothes, and she’ll understand and won’t bother me anymore, so, so..."

He suddenly lunged at the door, pounding on it and wailing: "So when you saw Moon jumping on me and licking me yesterday afternoon, and I was quickly taking off my clothes, it wasn’t what you thought! Really! Listen to me! Listen to me, wail wail wail..."

What the hell! So much information!

Licos noticed Sigma’s presence, turned his head with a look of grievance and sorrow, and Sigma was so frightened by those怨ful eyes that he took a few steps back.

"Prince Sigma, what’s that look on your face!" Licos cried sadly.

"…To put it simply, it’s a mix of shock, surprise, and amazement at the realization that the guy I talked to yesterday was actually naked and fooling around with a female dog, the open and diverse atmosphere of the Natural Academy, and the fact that such a thing actually exists in the world."

"…" Licos’s expression instantly collapsed, and he pitifully said, "Please don’t mock me, Your Highness. Help me persuade Elisa. I’ve been standing in front of her door all night, calling out in the morning, but she won’t answer me… You know I’m not that kind of person, please help me explain!"

"Well, how to put this, Licos…" Sigma organized his words, "You know, we necromancers embrace death, guard the cycle, and uphold the belief that all beings are equal in death…"

"I know…" Licos nodded, "Our druid teachings are similar…"

"So, all beings are equal, so whether you’re with a human or a dog, I won’t look down on you. In our Atlas Academy, there are people with an extraordinary obsession with corpses, but basically no one despises them; they just keep their distance." Sigma took two more steps back.

"You’re all silently giving me a collective cold shoulder!" Licos shouted, "And it’s not what you think! Didn’t you hear what I just said?"

"That’s why I said you don’t need to go to such lengths to make up lies. Druids are very tolerant." Sigma quickly glanced at Licos’s crotch and wondered, "But why a dog? It doesn’t seem to match, or is it… because of your personal physical growth, it just happens to fit?"

"It’s not that!" Licos almost spat out a mouthful of blood, "Believe me, my sexual orientation is normal!"

"Stop! Stop! Don’t get closer!" Sigma stopped the agitated Licos from approaching, saying repeatedly, "Please keep a certain safe distance from me, we can talk like this…"

"Why! Don’t you consider me a friend? You say you won’t look down on me, but why keep me at arm’s length! I didn’t do that at all!"

"Because I heard it’s contagious…" Sigma raised a bone wall on the ground, separating himself from Licos, and said in a muffled voice, "And although my reason can understand your hobby, my emotions refuse to interact with such a person…"

The commotion seemed to attract many people’s attention. Licos looked at Sigma with a face full of anger and sorrow, then looked at Elisa’s door, suddenly shouted, covered his face, and ran away, kicking up a cloud of dust.

"Hmph." Sigma sneered, "This kind of guy who takes a girl’s efforts for granted and chases after bitches despite having a treasure by his side, it’s only right to let him suffer a bit."

He walked to the door, patted the wooden door, and said, "Miss Elisa, I’m the necromancer visitor Sigma. Licos is on the verge of collapse now. I think if you appear and forgive him generously at this moment, he will be deeply moved and will treat you well for the rest of his life… Afraid you can’t catch up? When we passed each other just now, I placed a soul pursuit mark on him. He didn’t notice it in his agitated state. You can follow this mark to catch up with him…"

There was no response from inside the door.

Quite a temper? Sigma added, "It’s enough now, be careful he doesn’t do something irreparable in his anger… Hey, are you really angry? I don’t think anyone, no matter how perverted, would do that. Licos seems to really like you…"

Still no response.

Sigma frowned; he wasn’t a patient person.

"Is this Prince Sigma from the Necromancer Academy?" A voice suddenly came from the wooden house on the left. Sigma turned to see a short-haired blonde girl push open the window, rubbing her sleepy eyes, and mumbled, "If you’re looking for Elisa, she’s not here."

"…Huh?"

The girl, still half-asleep, explained, "Elisa came back yesterday and asked her mentor for leave to go home. When asked what happened, she just cried. Does Prince Sigma know what happened?"

"Uh… a little… a little…" Sigma looked embarrassed, gazing at the direction Licos had just run off after standing guard outside all night, and showed a sad expression.

I didn’t realize this fool was such a natural idiot…
