Luo Luo shrank back and pulled the blanket over her body, leaving only her head exposed. She said in a panic, "That offer has expired."
"Expired? Then I'm at a disadvantage. "
"Who … Who asked you to say something so cool?"
"It's all because you're a troublemaker." Rob reached out and caressed the girl's cheek with a smirk. "But since I'm here, I have to collect some interest."
Lolo seemed to be aware of what was going to happen next. But this time, she did not run away. Instead, she closed her eyes.
Hot breath, heaving chest, and lips touching in the dark.
The girl thought that one day, she might be as brave as her mother. She would no longer run away and face her heart.
However, the next moment, a knock on the door destroyed this charming scene.
Lolo pushed someone away in a panic. "Ah, open the door first. Oh, no, let me put on my clothes first. Turn around and don't look back."
Rob felt helpless. He already knew who was outside the door. The little golem, Hector, had come to take them to see Merlin as promised. Your Honor, the future supreme mage, did not expect him to come so early. The sun had just set, and he had already returned to the inn. Given his usual lazy style, it was rare for him to be so diligent. It was a pity that this guy came at the wrong time.
After Lolo put on her clothes, the young man lit the oil lamp and opened the door.
Hector seemed to be a little curious as to why the two took so long to come out, but he did not gossip. He gestured to Rob to ask if he was ready. His master wanted to invite them to a banquet.
Your Honor, the future supreme mage, looked at Lolo. The girl nodded, but then she was a little puzzled. "A banquet? Why does Senior Merlin suddenly want to invite us?"
Rob knew the answer to this question. This sudden banquet was most likely directed at him. Even though the little golem looked more innocent than anyone else, it was better to believe that Van 'er the Fifth was gay than to expect it to keep its promise and not tell others about what happened under Otto Grimm's rule.
However, the future Supreme Magus didn't have any expectations for it in the first place. He no longer planned to stay in Siamos. After playing with the temple, he would leave Gudilesi with Luo Luo. It wasn't a big deal for his identity to be known by Merlin at this time.
But he had to admit that Merlin acted quickly. The little golem only returned in the afternoon, and Merlin had already prepared the banquet at night.
Hector then took out a box from behind him. There were two dresses inside. Not only were they the latest styles, but they were also the best sizes.
Lolo shook her head. "We'll just wear our own clothes."
Generally speaking, nobles had to wear evening clothes to attend banquets to show respect to the host, but Merlin's situation was special. On the one hand, he had helped Lolo a little, but on the other hand, he had put her in danger. Both of them had a common enemy — the temple. Logically speaking, they should help each other. However, Merlin's attitude had always been unpredictable. Even his former lover, Carlisle, did not know what he was thinking. For the sake of safety, the girl decided to wear clothes that were more comfortable and convenient for movement.
This was Lolo. No matter who the opponent was, even if it was an old monster who had lived for nine hundred years, she would not give up resistance and struggle just because of the opponent's strength. The girl was seriously calculating how she should fight for more advantages once the two sides clashed.
In the eyes of others, her actions might be futile and stupid. One side was a rookie who had learned magic for less than a year, and the other was the ancestor of Magicians. The gap between them was irreparable, and it was meaningless to pay attention to these small details.
But this was the reason why Rob liked Lolo. When most people faced difficulties, the first thing they would think about was whether what they did was useful or not, but Lolo thought that there must be something else she could do.
The little golem was very easy to talk to. Seeing that the two had no intention of wearing evening clothes, it did not force them. After Rob and Lolo had packed their things, it brought them downstairs.
Outside the door, a carriage was parked by the roadside. It had been waiting for a long time.
The carriage was a custom-made model from the Magic Association. Thirteen functional magic arrays had been engraved on the extended carriage, so the passengers inside wouldn't feel the slightest jolt. The coachman driving the carriage was a handsome man. Not only was he a Tier 6 expert, but he was also an Elf.
It should be known that purebred elves were very arrogant and would rarely serve people of other races. Apart from that, even the horse that pulled the carriage was not simple. It had the blood of a magic beast in it.
Seeing this, Lolo could not help but murmur, "What is the meaning of this?"
This was not the first time they met Merlin. Merlin owed them a favor the last time. In the end, it was just an ordinary meeting. Apart from the strange location, everything was normal. But this time, the girl could clearly feel the standard of welcome had changed. The little golem got on the carriage first, and then it carried a carpet and laid it on the ground. The girl was a little puzzled. She asked Hector, "Is this carriage going to pick up someone else?"
The little golem shook its head.
"Are there any other guests tonight besides us?"
The little golem nodded.
"Could it be that someone powerful will appear tonight?"
If that was the case, everything could be explained. Because they were going to welcome a special guest, the standard of the banquet had been raised. This kind of thing was normal. Lolo did not think too much about it. Anyway, their purpose tonight was to meet Merlin and ask him about the incident that happened in the Bretton Family. Therefore, she was not interested in who the other guests were. It was best to finish the conversation quickly and not attend the banquet. After all, they were not wearing formal attire.
The carriage was very eye-catching, and it attracted a lot of attention along the way. But this also meant that there were a lot of people following them. Lolo was a little worried that they would be noticed by the people of the Temple of Light, but the elven driver did not seem to care. The carriage did not change its speed from beginning to end, and it did not hide its direction. Finally, it stopped outside a courtyard in the suburbs. The courtyard was registered under the name of a member of the city council. There was a considerable number of private guards outside. The guards let the carriage in, but stopped the people following them outside.
The elven driver pulled the reins and the carriage stopped outside a small red building.
Hector got off the carriage first and opened the door of the small building.
However, to everyone's surprise, the building was dark and empty. The little golem gestured at the door to invite them in.
Lolo hesitated for a moment, but finally, she took a step forward. When she stepped inside, everything changed.
The wide hall, the soft carpet, the carpet above her head, the dining table that was twenty meters long, the maids shuttled like butterflies, and the air was filled with the smell of champagne and steak.
