Moments later.
Mei Magogoko stepped out of the room, her clothes neat and tidy, and gently closed the door behind her.
Her heart was calm, without a ripple of emotion, and she even felt a hint of amusement.
There was absolutely no opportunity to make a move.
Originally, she had planned to directly kill that old mage, Mesent.
But this outcome was acceptable as well. If she couldn't kill Mesent outright, there were always other ways.
After all, killing Mesent directly would have been difficult to explain to the soldiers. But if the deed was done using someone else's hands, it would have nothing to do with her.
Everything would fall into place naturally.
With this thought, she gently brushed her hair away from her forehead, smoothing out her clothes.
Her face once again donned an expression of delicate vulnerability.
Looking around and seeing that the other players were busy with their own tasks and no one was paying her any attention, she tiptoed to the other side of the novice village and knocked on a door.
Knock, knock, knock.
"Hello, is anyone there?"
This was the room of a knight accompanying the army, named Wymons. At level 26, he was the second most powerful person here, aside from the great mage Mesent.
Through her Insight skill, she had also learned one crucial piece of information—Wymons the knight was the actual commander of the army.
At this moment, the knight had not yet gone to bed. Hearing the soft, alluring voice of a woman outside his door, he hesitated briefly but eventually walked over and opened it.
In the cool moonlight, a beautiful woman stood timidly at the door. Her rosy lips were slightly pursed, her bare shoulders exposed, and her eyes glistened with a misty allure, as if tears were about to spill out.
Though Wymons was a seasoned warrior, the small kingdom of Anlius was no match for the sophistication of larger nations—it was practically a backwater. He had never encountered such a captivating enchantress.
Moreover, Mei Magogoko, being a modern woman from Water Blue Planet, was far more bold and adept at capturing a man's heart than the women of this world.
Not to mention, she was a brothel madam.
Her skills were maxed out.
With all these factors combined, Wymons found himself utterly defenseless, his heart itching with desire.
However, he still maintained a basic sense of knightly decorum and did not act as presumptuously as Mesent had.
"Ahem... Miss Magogoko, weren't you just discussing the principles of magic with Master Mesent?"
"Yes, but we've finished discussing now~"
Mei Magogoko took two steps forward, gently pressing herself against the knight's chest. Her soft, fair hand circled lightly over his armor.
"Master Mesent said I lack talent, so we didn't continue. He said that if we were to continue... I would have to... have to... boohoohoo..."
At this point, Mei Magogoko's alluring eyes brimmed with tears, large droplets streaming down her face.
She gazed at the knight with a pitiful expression, her warm, soft hand clinging to his arm as she sobbed and complained:
"I... I originally thought Master Mesent was a venerable elder, which is why I trusted him so much. But I didn't expect..."
"I refused him, and then he kicked me out. I have nowhere to go, so I came here..."
"Sir Knight, could you let me stay in your room tonight?"
"You wouldn't have the heart to see me, dressed like this, lying on the dirty ground outside, would you?"
As she spoke, Mei Magogoko pouted her luscious lips, her slightly upturned brows full of grievance and sorrow.
Her tear-streaked face would evoke sympathy in any normal man.
"Ah... Of course, please come in."
Wymons had initially harbored some doubts about Mei Magogoko's story. After all, it was unusual for a man and a woman to be alone together at night. But Mei Magogoko hadn't stayed long with Mesent, so it was plausible that she had genuinely been discussing magic with him.
Then, the shameless Mesent had tried to take advantage of her.
When she refused, he had failed to succeed.
Given Mesent's lecherous reputation, such behavior wasn't surprising.
With this thought, Wymons no longer doubted Mei Magogoko. Instead, he felt a surge of pity and admiration.
What a virtuous girl!
Even in the face of the powerful Mesent, she had stood her ground and defended her honor.
Moreover, Mei Magogoko was a girl who loved learning. Her first thought upon meeting Mesent had been to study the principles of magic.
Such a woman would surely bear clever children in the future.
Wymons the knight pondered seriously: should their future children take her surname, Magogoko, or his, Sol?
If it were a boy, he could be named Ergo Sol. If it were a girl, she could be Cynthia Magogoko.
As he entertained these thoughts, he welcomed the enchanting Mei Magogoko into his room.
He only wanted to give her a warm home. Absolutely nothing else. After all, he was a pure and noble knight, completely different from that lustful Mesent!
...
Magic is a discipline that requires talent.
Clearly, Wymons the knight wasn't suited for it.
Mei Magogoko found it effortless to teach this "student," as it didn't require any real effort on her part.
But as an excellent "mage," she still needed to consider her student's feelings.
So, Mei Magogoko stayed sweetly nestled in Wymons' arms, gazing at him with her watery, enchanting eyes full of affection.
Yet in her heart, she was silently mocking him:
Are all the men in this world so hopeless?
They shouldn't be...
Mei Magogoko pinched Wymons' muscular shoulder in puzzlement.
It was real, not fake. Such a robust man...
Feeling her playful gesture, Wymons thought his strength had already won her heart. He grinned and teased:
"Magogoko-chan, don't worry. From now on, follow me, and I'll make sure you're happy."
Mei Magogoko: "..."
Suppressing the urge to curse, she forced a strained smile and replied cheerfully:
"I trust you completely. You must treat me well in the future~"
"Hahaha, don't worry. I'm a knight of honor! I'll treat you like a queen."
Wymons, full of pride, wrapped his arm around her slender waist, feeling utterly content.
Mei Magogoko had completely won him over.
He had already decided: after defeating the dragon and returning to the capital, he would bring Mei Magogoko with him.
He would marry her and show her his "valor" every day.
As he daydreamed about their future, thinking about how many children they would have—some to study magic, others to become knights—Mei Magogoko suddenly began sobbing softly.
Wymons' expression changed, and he quickly comforted her, asking what was wrong.
"Sir Knight, I like you too, but I'm afraid we can't be together."
"Why not?"
Wymons looked puzzled.
"I'm a knight. Marrying you wouldn't be a problem. Don't worry, I swear on my honor as a knight that I'll treat you sincerely!"
"It's not that... It's Mesent the mage. He... he said he wants to discuss magic with me again tomorrow. If I don't comply, he'll kill me. Boohoohoo... I haven't even had your babies yet; I don't want to die..."
"Damn it! You're my woman. I won't let that bastard lay a finger on you. Wait here. I'll kill him right now!"
Wymons, his face filled with rage, was about to put on his armor when Mei Magogoko stopped him.
"Sir Knight, I know you're doing this for me."
"But that old man is very powerful. You might not be able to defeat him. Let's wait until tomorrow night. I'll pretend to go along with him and trick him into removing his robe and staff. Then you can come in and kill him."
Hearing this, Wymons calmed down a bit. His admiration for Magogoko grew even stronger. Pulling her into his arms, he sighed emotionally and said:
"You've suffered so much, my dear Magogoko."
"As long as I can be with you, it's worth it."
Lying on the knight's shoulder, Mei Magogoko knew her plan was halfway to success. A sly smile crept onto her lips.
PS: Surely no one thinks this is the female lead or a supporting heroine, right? Just clarifying upfront!
