Chapter 302: The New Home
"Master Mentor, why is the moon here red? The moon in my memory has always been golden."
Lilith sat next to Loren, who was driving the carriage, grabbing the corner of his clothes as she asked.
"Because the authority of the night was stolen by the God of Night and Thunder, which caused the nights in other places to mutate."
Loren casually spoke words that could get him beheaded, as he had been continuously using a Shielding Spell.
"I understand! So the blood moon stained red in your lyrics is literal description! I thought it was a metaphor, but it's actually a literal description."
Now it was Loren's turn to be stunned. Lilith's memory wasn't great, but she could even remember lyrics she had glanced at casually, all because those lyrics were written by Loren.
Loren instinctively hugged Lilith tighter, deeply understanding his own weight in Lilith's heart.
Many crows flew above the carriage; these were all Movila's clones. She constantly monitored the surroundings of the carriage, as the night at this time was not safe.
Even if they didn't encounter any dangerous Magical Beasts, they could still be attacked by some Cultists of Evil Gods—such things were quite common.
When Loren reached the Royal Capital, it was exactly midnight. The Church people had long prepared to receive Loren. As soon as Loren entered the city gate, they led him to the house prepared for him.It was a villa, gifted to Loren by the King. Loren hadn't spent a single coin.
Moreover, the house even had a brand new set of furniture installed, with all kinds of facilities available. They had even considered Loren's personality and hadn't sent any servants, showing no intention of monitoring Loren whatsoever, simply trying to curry favor with him.
"The efficiency of the Gedlan Kingdom can actually be this high..."
Loren sighed with emotion. He had mentioned wanting to buy a house at noon, and he arrived at midnight. Excluding the time for information transmission, they had prepared a residence for Loren in less than half a day.
The high-ranking Church member accompanying Loren also understood Loren's implication, coughed awkwardly, and prepared to leave:
"It's late, I won't disturb your rest any further."
"Alright."
Loren didn't bother with polite formalities either, simply ignoring him as he began inspecting the interior of the villa.
"Master, they even prepared a large bed for us, big enough for all of us to get on together."
Mirrorheart sat on the master bedroom's bed and said to Loren, who felt there was more meaning behind her words.
But right now, Loren had no time to deal with Mirrorheart. He opened the suitcase he had brought from home, inside which Cecelia was curled up.
"This light is so harsh..."
The moment the suitcase opened, Cecelia covered her eyes. Loren glanced at the oil lamp nearby, his expression speechless.
"The suitcase I prepared for Lilith ended up being occupied by you..."
Loren pulled Cecelia out. Compared to the others, Cecelia was very thin, which was why she could curl up inside the suitcase.
Witches couldn't get fat, but they also couldn't get too thin, at least not enough to affect their own looks. This world still showed far too much favoritism towards witches.
"Remember to eat properly, you're too thin."
Loren picked Cecelia up. She was a head taller than Anna, yet weighed less than Anna.
Anna could eat a lot, but her weight was normal, just the weight of an ordinary 150cm tall, large-chested loli.
"Alright..."
Being held by Loren, Cecelia was exceptionally flustered. Loren could hear her heartbeat again.
"It's late, let's sleep first."
Loren put Cecelia down and was the first to lie down on the bed. However, he didn't go to sleep immediately, instead continuing to hold the Magic Book to study.
He suddenly had a new idea—perhaps he could use night magic to help Lilith avoid the sun.
Mirrorheart had never left the master bedroom. Now, she naturally lay down beside Loren.
Seeing this, Cecelia stopped her action of crawling under the bed and instead climbed onto the bed, wanting to lean against Loren.
She finally got to sleep on a bed once, yet her climbing motion was still so shadowy.
"..."
Loren was somewhat speechless but didn't pay her any mind, continuing to study his magic.
"Good evening, Master Mentor."
Anna greeted him, squeezing in next to Loren.
Scarlett followed Anna inside. Gradually, more and more people gathered around Loren. Eventually, the large bed was almost completely occupied, with even Lilith lying beside Loren.
The King knew about Loren keeping a vampire. The light-blocking in this villa was also done very well—the curtains were thick, airtight, and windproof.
So even if Lilith didn't sleep in the basement, it was no problem, as long as the curtains weren't opened.
Luna was still at her own home. Everyone except Naclis slept on this large bed.
Ever since so many people appeared in Loren's household, Naclis hadn't actively requested to sleep with Loren anymore.
Just as Loren was thinking this, the bedroom door was pushed open again. Through the crack in the door, Loren saw a few strands of silver-white long hair.
As the door opened wider, a golden eye peeked through.
"Naclis?"
Loren hadn't expected her to actually come. It's just that right now, many people were lying on top of Loren, making it inconvenient for him to get up.
"Mhm."
Naclis still had her usual indifferent expression. After responding, she walked in and gently closed the door.
She didn't disturb anyone else either, simply lying quietly beside Loren.
...
The night passed without incident.
When Loren opened his eyes the next day, Naclis had already disappeared. She usually woke up earlier than Loren, so this was normal.
"Let's go buy a cake for Luna today! She's turning eighteen, let's get an eighteen-layer one!"
The moment Loren opened his eyes, Anna leaned in, excitedly saying to him.
"Is there a shop that can make a cake that tall..."
Loren rubbed his eyes and gently pulled his hand out from Lilith's embrace.
Ever since Loren had money, Anna's birthday cakes had as many layers as her age.
"Then order several more..."
"Be careful not to upset your stomach."
Loren tapped Anna on the head. The others didn't really like eating sweets much; the usual cakes all ended up in Anna's stomach, including Naclis's portion.
Of course, Naclis might also like eating them, she was just too reserved.
"Just order a large one. We'll hold the party in our new home then; her house can't fit all of us."
Loren got up, tidied up a bit, and prepared to leave.
Luna didn't know they had arrived yet. Loren hadn't let Movila tell her in advance, wanting to give her a surprise.
"Lilith, stay at home for a while, we'll be back soon."
It was daytime now, and Lilith couldn't go out. Loren could only pat her head to comfort her.
"Alright."
Lilith nodded obediently, sitting quietly in place, waiting for Loren.
