Late at night, the Hearthstone Tavern.
Josiah lay on his bed, staring at the ceiling with his eyes wide open.
Josiah had a rare insomnia tonight.
As for the reason, it was probably because Josh should have been sitting in his study and continuing to write and maintain the magic net.
However, at the request of Hiri and Taylin, Josiah gave himself a day off. After strolling around Noland in the day, he returned to his room and lay down early to sleep.
Unfortunately, Josiah's mind was filled with the operations of the three websites he had written recently.
Josiah was not a god. Although the World Tree gave Josiah extraordinary thinking ability and programming ability comparable to that of a large team, the natural enemy of programmers still existed.
"Seven new transactions?"
In the end, Josiah could not help but open the Mana Net and browse the latest situation on the Mana Net.
The 'Demon Realm Alchemy Workshop' opened by the Prophet had four new transactions in the afternoon, all of which were the scales of the Sin Devils.
When the spellcasters of Noland discovered the benefits of the Sin Devil Scales, the demand would definitely increase by a hundredfold. Thus, the Prophet rationally limited each person to a maximum of fifteen scales.
Even if the Sin Devil Scales had been stored for hundreds of years, it probably would not be enough to satisfy the needs of the spellcasters of Noland.
Just as Josiah opened the editing program, preparing to further improve the Mana Net Treasury and Mana Net Shopping, there was a knock on Josiah's door.
"The door isn't locked," Josiah said.
The door was slowly pushed open, and Hiri slowly walked into Josiah's room.
"You didn't pass the purple robe's test again?" Josiah looked at Hiri's expression. She looked a little disappointed.
"I passed, but … the purple robe's condition seems to be worsening." Hiri gripped her right arm with her left hand and said with uncertainty, "Is it because the white cat came to the Noland Center?"
"This has nothing to do with the Holy Tree taking root in the center of Noland. Its life domain is still in effect in the Hearthstone Tavern. How is the purple-clothed one doing?" Josiah asked.
"She slept. I gave her my bed. I always thought that this group of sages didn't need to sleep." Hiri said.
"Sage is also a human, alright." Josiah looked at Hiri's helpless expression. It seemed that during this period of time, she had indeed treated the purple-robed man as her mentor.
After all … according to Herland, Hiri's mother had left her when she was very young.
"Come over here." Josiah patted the empty space next to his bed and said.
"What?"
Hiri was stunned when she heard Josiah's direct invitation. The sad atmosphere was swept away.
"Then I'll sleep on the floor?" Josiah said tentatively.
After hearing this, Hiri went to Josiah's bed without saying a word and lay down.
Josiah waved his hand and turned off the crystal lamp that lit up the room. Moonlight shone into the room through the window. Josiah lay on the bed and looked at the ceiling. He could feel Hiri's warmth beside him.
"Did you mention some kind of 'life-extending' magic to me before?"
Hiri's hands were lightly placed on the blanket and she also looked at the ceiling and asked Josiah in a soft voice.
"That was just a joke! The purple-robed man knows that her life is coming to an end. I don't have any good way to save her, unless … that sage is willing to abandon her human identity and become an undead. "Josiah said.
When Josiah said this, Josiah clearly felt Hiri's body tremble slightly beside him.
Josiah held Hiri's slightly cold right hand. This action caused Hiri's body to stiffen slightly. Then, Josiah turned around.
Hiri also turned around to face Josiah. In the darkness, Hiri's silver eyes could vaguely see some crystalline liquid.
"This is the first time I've seen you so scared."
Josiah clasped Hiri's right hand tightly with his five fingers, feeling the warmth from Hiri.
"It can be considered a childhood trauma."
When Hiri said this, Josiah could feel her grip on his arm slightly increase.
"I saw my mother die in front of me with my own eyes." Hiri said softly.
But when Hiri said this sad topic, Josiah's other hand was stroking Hiri's soft long hair.
This made Hiri's sad heart a little angry for a while. She kept shaking her head, hoping to get rid of Josiah's hand. But after a moment, Josiah let go of Hiri's hand, he once again caressed Hiri's cheek.
"I feel like there's no atmosphere for a sad story."
Hiri's white cheeks had already turned red.
"Because I'm not good at comforting people, so I can only divert your attention." Josiah stopped "ravaging" Hiri's cheek and put his hand on the girl's waist. "Do you still feel bad?"
"A little." Hiri's voice was already so soft that it was almost inaudible.
She knew that the current atmosphere was no longer suitable for 'remembering how sad the past is'.
"My sister confirmed something with me a few days ago." Hiri suddenly raised her head and stared at Josiah seriously.
"What is it?"
Josiah could smell the fragrance and warmth from this girl's body, and the gradually increasing frequency of her breathing.
"It's about a ceremony. A girl from the Land of Frost will hold a ceremony after confirming their sweetheart." Hiri's voice was so low that Josiah almost couldn't hear her clearly.
"If you didn't mention it, I would have forgotten that you're from the Land of Frost. What's the ceremony?" Josiah asked.
"In the eyes of outsiders, it's just a simple kiss, but the girls from the Land of Frost might have … mysophobia. They will only give their first kiss to the most important person in their life."
"Uh … What if there's an accident halfway?" Josiah asked tentatively.
"If the man betrays them, the girls from the Land of Frost will most likely kill the man and choose to die alone. Of course, this is only a legend that my mother told me in the past."
Hiri suddenly broke free from Josiah's tightly clasped hands and placed them on Josiah's chest. With a flip, she easily sat on Josiah's body.
At this moment, Josiah noticed that Hiri's clothes had slipped down. Although it was a little regretful, Josiah had to admit that it was indeed … a pleasing scene.
Under the moonlight, Hiri gently bent down and whispered in Josiah's ear.
"I … know that my figure may not be your type, but tonight, I really intend to give my everything to you. If you don't like it, you can refuse." Hiri's voice sounded a little panicked, as if she was angry.
Josiah didn't use words to answer Hiri. Under Hiri's panicked voice, he directly hugged Hiri's delicate body and pressed her onto the bed.
"Stop!" Hiri's hands were tied by Josiah, and she was a little flustered.
As she wished, Josiah stopped and looked at Hiri.
"I'm … a little afraid of pain." Hiri said again in a barely audible voice.
