Doran's gaze toward Lolo blurred. His eyebrows were trembling, but the girl could see the reflection of someone else in his blue eyes.
"You're drunk," Lolo said.
Doran shook his head. "I've already lost you nineteen years ago. I won't let anyone take you away from me again."
"Thank you for telling me about my mother and the Sith Abbey. I'll pretend I didn't hear the rest. It's getting late, I should leave," Lolo said as she rose to her feet. She walked to the door and tried to push it open, but it did not budge.
The girl turned around with a cold gaze. "What's the meaning of this?"
"I told you, this is your home. You shouldn't be in such a hurry to leave now that you're home," Doran said calmly.
"Are you planning to detain me?"
"You've been wandering around for so long. It's time for you to get some rest. Don't worry, with my protection, no one will hurt you," Doran said gently.
Luo Luo took out her staff and cast a Fireball at the door. However, the fireball dissipated in the air half an inch away from the door.
"One of the benefits of being rich is that you can better protect yourself and the people you love. It's something I learned after I lost you to Karov. The study room is the most important place in the manor, so it has the tightest defense. I've put a lot of effort into its construction. Spells below the Intermediate Level won't be able to destroy the door," Mo Fan said with a smile.
Luoluo released the most powerful magic spell she knew. But just as Doran had said, the magic did not have any effect on the door that did not seem particularly sturdy.
Lolo put her staff away. She left her Elven Sword and luggage with Rob. She pulled out a sword from the wall. The sword emanated an icy aura as it was drawn out of its sheath. It was obvious that it was no ordinary weapon.
"Not bad. This sword is the second most expensive weapon in this room. I spent one hundred and sixty thousand gold coins to buy it," Doran complimented as he tapped his fingers on the armrest.
Luo Luo slashed down with her sword, but just as the blade was about to land, a white light suddenly appeared on the door. Even with her strength as a Grade 2 professional, she couldn't break through the white light.
"I've even prepared a magic attack. How could I possibly ignore a method like this?" Doran said calmly.
Lolo turned around and looked at him coldly. "Are you forcing my hand?"
"What? You want to fight me?" Doran smiled. "Indeed, I am the master of this place. All the defensive facilities here are under my control. If you kill me, you will be able to walk out of that door. But do you think you have a chance? Don't forget who taught you your swordsmanship."
After saying this, his figure disappeared from his seat. Luo Luo's pupils shrank and she took half a step back. At the same time, she swung the longsword in her hand to the right side of her body. However, in the next moment, she felt her hand go numb. She did not know how the sword was in Doran's hand. By the time she realized what had happened, the tip of the sword was already pressed against her neck.
"Do you want to learn? As long as you're willing to stay, my things are yours. Not just swordsmanship, but also magic. I've collected a lot of good stuff over the years. I'll teach you slowly. "The man's voice was like a devil's whisper.
Judging from Doran's movements, he was at least at the sixth step. However, Luo Luo's eyes did not show any signs of panic. She looked at the man calmly and said, "He will come to save me."
"No, no one will disturb us tonight," Doran said with deep emotion.
"You're no match for him."
"His Holiness Atleid Richard Holstein, the disciple of the ninth-tier supreme magus Steins, the future patron saint of the human race, and the most famous genius in the magic world. In the battle of Gudilesi more than half a year ago, it was said that he, D 'Addario, and Olavia joined forces to force Bishop Saruman to self-destruct. It's a pity that his legend ends tonight." Doran shook his head, his voice full of regret.
"No matter what tricks you have up your sleeves, you can't hide from him," the girl said firmly.
"Really? It seems that you have a lot of confidence in him. " Doran blinked his eyes, and his voice became cold, "Mithril Crystal, a rare crystal that can only be extracted from a thousand pounds of Mithril. It's colorless and odorless, harmless to the body of ordinary people, but it's the most terrifying poison for magicians. The strength of the poison depends on the amount of magic power in the target's body. If the target is more than second-tier, there's no chance of survival. I've wrapped it in freshly picked tea leaves. Just now, I received news that he has drunk the cup of tea. Now, he can barely protect himself, let alone save you. He might not even be able to hold on for half a minute. The Mithril Crystal will continue to destroy the source of his magic, and the magic power that he's so proud of will eventually become the rope that strangles him."
Doran moved his sword away from Lolo's neck and sheathed it. His tone softened, "You have no choice. If he dies, not only will the Temple of Light investigate you, the Magician's Association will not let you go. We are now in the same boat. But don't worry, I've arranged everything. You won't be in any danger here. I'll take good care of you and fulfill my responsibility as a husband. I'll also take good care of our daughter. I won't let anyone hurt her."
After saying that, Doran reached out to touch the girl's cheek, but Luo Luo dodged his hand.
So, he used his other hand to strangle the girl's neck. Lolo kept struggling because she was suffocating.
"Shh, shh, shh. Be quiet, be quiet. I still have so much to say to you. All these years, I've been dreaming of you, night after night. I've been thinking about reuniting with you all the time. Are you as happy as I am? By the way, didn't you always like poetry? I even wrote one just for you. I'll read it to you."
Just when Lolo was about to stop breathing, Doran finally let go of her. He walked to the bookshelf and happily rummaged through the book of poems he had written.
"Oh, here it is, here it is." Doran found a gold-rimmed notebook, but the next moment, when he turned around, the door exploded with a loud bang.
When the dust and sawdust settled, Rob's figure appeared in the study. He put down the staff in his hand and helped the girl up from the floor. "Sorry, I'm late."
Lolo rubbed her eyes, unable to believe what she saw. She asked in surprise, "A-Are you okay?"
