Chapter 73 - Mobilizing (part 2)
"Lucien? Are you okay?" Astrid couldn"t help asking after Lucien stayed in the bathroom for several minutes.
L.u.s.t had already entered Lucien"s soul, so he left the bathroom. He saw the girls on the bed with wide smiles on their faces... Their sweaty bodies still with marks of his affection.
Everyone was feeling their bodies getting better and better every second as they absorbed the demonic energy... But the feeling of having made love with Lucien was as good both physically and mentally for the girls, who now felt like they were in the clouds.
"Hubby!" When the girls saw Lucien come out of the bathroom, Rose couldn"t help herself and ran to hug him while smiling happily.
Lucien started stroking Rose"s straight blond hair... She was so cute, hugging him and smiling... Lucien felt bad about feeling so good while his mom was in danger... So he needed to move on and get the power to rescue her so that everyone could smile just like Rose in the future.
He imagined that beautiful smile of the girls also on his mother"s face and then called the trio affectionately. "Let"s take a bath? We have to start the journey as soon as possible."
Maggie and Astrid quickly made their way to the bathroom while Lucien carried the little Rose, who couldn"t stop smiling, feeling so happy.
The trio had a bath about an hour ago... But what bath could be compared to bath with their love? It was another half hour in heaven for the girls who enjoyed the wonderful time with Lucien.
After everyone was clean and ready, Lucien opened the bedroom door and saw Oya and Ko lying in front of the room, waiting for him patiently.
*Meow*
Little Ko seemed to be getting as smart as her mother. She just meowed, but thanks to the connection through the tattoos, Lucien could understand that she was disappointed that she couldn"t go with them.
"Don"t be sad, my cute Ko. I will play with you a lot when we have time later." Lucien took the little tigress and kissed her several times, making Ko purr easily under her master"s tender caresses.
Lucien also kissed Oya on the forehead to thank her for being a good girl and then started down the stairs with the group...
"We could threaten any woman who looks at him."
"Or make him always walk with various hoods so no one would see his handsome face."
"Or we could just make him promise not to accept any more women."
Lucien could hear the girls talking from afar... He didn"t blame them for thinking that way, but he still made a sarcastic comment to get the group"s attention.
"Or I could reward my wives who behave well and ignore those who don"t..."
"Husband!" The girls are surprised when they see Lucien. They all acted as if they were caught doing something wrong and bowed their heads in embarra.s.sment.
Mia was the main girl supporting the ideas of keeping other women away from her precious husband, but she was also more shameless as she made a big smile while running towards Lucien with open arms.
"No one is complaining about our husband... How could we do that? You are more than perfect and always take good care of us. I love you sooo much!!"
"You are so adorable, Mia... I understand that having a lot of women is not fair to you... Still, I cannot promise that I will not have others as it can make us stronger as a powerful united group..." Lucien put little Ko on his shoulder while hugging the cute Mia.
Lucien looked at the group of beautiful women and couldn"t help but think that he should treat them much better... He sent a mental message to Ca.s.sidy to join them.
Ca.s.sidy soon arrived in the hall with Angela and Ron. The formerly proud Queen of Porgreen approached her man docilely to receive a warm hug, and Angela couldn"t help but make a face.
Lucien started kissing and hugging all the girls one by one while he spoke lovingly. "I don"t want to be apart from you for a second, but I promised to help Marie and Angela. I"m going to do this quickly, and I need you to help her protect Bluewind until I get back..."
"When I get back, you will all have individual attention and rewards... And I guarantee that no one will have any complaints..."
The group understood the situation. They saw themselves as a family, and each one wanted to do their part. At the same time that Lucien was going to rescue Lena, the other girls would do their best in Bluewind... Still, they couldn"t help but miss Lucien already.
After kissing and saying goodbye to all his women who would stay, Lucien stopped in front of Angela, who asked respectfully. "Will you attack first or try another approach?"
Lucien didn"t think much about it... He would decide, depending on how the Prince of Nunind Kingdom acted. "Do not worry about it. I will bring her back... Quickly."
"Mm." Angela was always worried after Marie went to Portgreen and Lena to the Nunid Kingdom, but now Lucien had brought Marie back safely and was going to rescue Lena... She didn"t have a good first impression of him but was happy that she has his help.
Angela gave Lucien a map and a storage ring with weapons, gold, and food. She also wanted to send soldiers with him, but Lucien said that a small group would be better, and he could only do it very quickly with the trio and Oya.
Kara and Ron also show up to say goodbye to Lucien. After being forced by the girls for another round of kisses and hugs, Lucien left little Ko with Mia and went with his "a.s.sault squad" to the gate. Everyone wearing hoods, running swift and quietly as shadows even in the morning.
As soon as the group pa.s.sed through the gate, they ran another mile before Lucien stopped to explain his plan.
"You will feel your body improve faster after what we did... Maybe you even feel some changes sooner, so always report everything uncommon to me."
Lucien had already told the girls about getting stronger when the more they get "closer." Still, L.u.s.t warned that the pa.s.sionate s.e.x they had could awaken latent abilities in the girls just as she was also reporting the changes in Lucien"s body now.
Rose felt she had never had so much mana before... She could feel that her connection to the earth much stronger, and it made her feel very powerful.
Maggie also felt a lot of mana running through her body. She previously had a low affinity with fire and was more confident in her unique vision skills. She didn"t try her unique abilities, but she could already create fire from the environment much more quickly than before...
She had created several small flames when no one was looking, but of course, Lucien noticed it and also the smile she made...
Astrid felt her strength and senses much stronger than before... But what caught her attention most was her little wings... She felt something strange as if her wings were feeling a change after so many years without evolving...
She couldn"t help but be hopeful that she would someday have beautiful wings like the greatest legends of her people... If she could improve her wings by making love with her man, that would be doubly perfect.
Only Oya was not getting stronger quickly as she had only drunk a bit of the delicious milk... She could feel that she was being left out and would have to be bolder to make her master treat her better...
Lucien started to explain what the ideal formation would be like for them to go as fast as possible to the Nudid Kingdom.
Maggie climbed on his back like a koala while he held her by the legs. Rose started to levitate enough to she didn"t weigh too much while holding Maggie"s back so that Lucien could sprint with both of them.
Astrid was already very agile before receiving "Lucien"s affection," so now she could run even faster. Like Oya, she and Lucien started running southwards at super speed. They had a lot of energy after the amazing s.e.x session and could keep up the pace for several hours and then "recovery quickly."
Following the main road to the south, the group would pa.s.s through the forest where they had previously pa.s.sed while fleeing the mercenaries. Lucien was using the map and the information Angela gave him on how to get to the Nunid Kingdom.
--------------------
Portgreen, Magic Band Tower.
In the highest tower in the city, where was the base of the Magic Band, the second most influential mercenary group in Portgreen, a mercenary wizard ascended in the magic elevator to the highest floor.
The wizard arrived at the front of Cornelius" room, the leader of the Magic Band, and the archmages guards let him in. The man entered the large room and started reporting immediately.
"Sir, the magicians managed to feel the earth"s energy of that mysterious mage approaching again."
"Really? It"s already taking too long... They are using a lot of resources to take so long to track her." Cornelius and his team only arrived at Aria"s inn after Rose had left the city, but he found many traces of the earthquake spell she used and since then was working with the Guild to track down the mysterious mage who wreaked havoc in the city.
The Magic Band was formed by great mages and wizards who had a vast knowledge of magic and science. Using magic equipment, they were tracking the source of Rose"s mana particles. As she moved very quickly away from Portgreen, Cornelius" team did not have good results, but now that Lucien was approaching that forest again, the magicians were able to track Rose.
Cornelius knew that the mysterious mage was not alone as after what was known as the "great catastrophe," everyone in the city knew the famous red-haired adventurer, Lucien, who fled the city with her, stealing Black Hand"s girlfriend, and also causing the terrible earthquake.
Many mercenaries and adventurers began to speak many things, not only about Lucien but also the girls who were supposed to be with him... Neither Olivia nor the mercenary leaders were able to stop the rumors after the city went into chaos because of the earthquake.
Now all Portgreen"s leaders wanted was to arrest Lucien and the mysterious wizard. So the Magic Band and the Red Lady Party teamed up with the Guild to punish the Black Hand Party and bring Lucien and the Earth Mage to justice.
Cornelius did not think twice before sending messengers to inform the Guild and Red Lady of the tracking of the earth mage.
------------------
"Really?" Olivia was also surprised when she received the news that the Magic Band had tracked the mysterious earth mage.
Despite the mask covering her entire face, the messenger could tell from her tone that she was anxious. The man thought she was eager to arrest the villains who had done so much damage to the city, but only Olivia knew her real intentions...
"Call Glen and all the A-Rank adventurers nearby. We have to get to that forest quickly!" Olivia ordered the Guild"s staff to call a powerful group of adventurers, which herself would lead to hunting Lucien"s group.
There were currently several groups of adventurer mercenaries trying to track Lucien"s group in the forest and elsewhere. The quest to catch the famous "villains" was accepted by many in the Guild, and there were high rewards in almost every mercenary group in the city.
Portgreen, who was returning to peace after all the chaos the earthquake caused, became very busy again when many people started talking about the reappearance of the "terrible villains." Several groups mobilized in front of the Magic Band tower, wanting to know news about the tracking of the mysterious earth mage.
