Yun Wei woke up in Isaac's arms.
The mattress in the guest room was quite soft, which allowed him to get a good night's sleep, something he rarely does.
Last night, he was so tired that he was thinking of getting a good night's sleep when Isaac, who was assigned to stay next door, knocked on the hidden door connecting the rooms.
The other person said that it was already autumn and it was too cold to sleep alone.
Yun Wei knew, however, that this clinginess was unique to Isaac.
Those resolute yet affectionate eyes of the other party will always be the ultimate weapon of the "Special Attack on Yunwei".
However, she was still quite willing to warm up her cold boyfriend.
Although he sometimes shivered from the cold, Yun Wei felt only deep heartache for Isaac, after all, it wasn't Isaac's fault.
So when he fell into an unusually warm embrace, he was completely stunned.
He reached out and touched it in disbelief, only to discover that Isaac had a thin layer of fire element covering his chest, somewhat similar to the "Purification" spell, which required extremely precise control over the elements.
In that instant, Yun Wei fell silent again.
He turned around and embraced his servant tightly, turning all his words into tender kisses.
...
So much so that he now lazily stays in the other person's arms and doesn't want to get out of bed at all.
Yun Wei thought to himself that in the future, he would definitely want to own a cozy house like this.
Then, every week, you should spend at least two days indulging in sleeping in.
Just like now, she snuggled up to Isaac without a care in the world.
Lost in thought, she tightened her grip on his arm, and heard his clear voice above her head, carrying his usual smile: "Awake?"
"Hmm," Yun Wei replied listlessly, but then burrowed deeper into the blankets. "Isa, I'm going to sleep for two more minutes. Wake me up on time, and hold me tight."
His final order was his true feeling at that moment.
The knight behind him was as obedient as ever, his chest, abdomen and arm muscles working faithfully, giving him the sense of security he craved most.
Yun Wei lowered his eyes and quietly inhaled the scent emanating from the other person.
Whether his blood could be addictive to the other person is a mystery.
But he had become addicted to the other person's hugs.
Fortunately, both of them are fairly self-disciplined and didn't really go so far as to sleep in someone else's house.
By the time Yunwei and Isaac finished washing up, it was around 7:30.
Yun Wei pushed open the door and saw Xi De coming downstairs looking travel-worn. He didn't know what had happened, but his face was flushed red, and a man was following behind him at a leisurely pace.
Yun Wei looked closely and realized that it was the tall, thin young man who had been waiting in the courtyard last night.
He couldn't help but recall what George's butler had said when he showed them the house yesterday: the third floor seemed to have only one room: the master bedroom and the meditation room connected to it.
Gossip is human nature and also a social etiquette.
Even though Yun Wei wasn't a particularly gossipy person, he subconsciously looked at Xi De and greeted him with a "good morning."
“Uh, good morning, Claude.” Sid looked up, seemingly even more flustered, and tried to explain, “No, we…we’re not what you think!”
Yun Wei laughed, making a rare joke, "What?"
At that moment, Isaac also came out of the room behind Yun Wei.
Sid stopped, sighed, and introduced them to the two: "This is Silver Julius, my nominal fiancé. Oh, by the way, he's penniless now because he stayed at that shady hotel I mentioned earlier."
He beckoned the young man behind him to come to his side and introduced him, "These two are my distinguished guests, Claude and Isaac."
"It's a pleasure to meet you." Yun Wei nodded to Silver and gave a mage's salute.
He felt a little embarrassed, but thankfully they had met Sid.
Just think about it, even the Duke of Bethlehem, who was richer than a country, was swindled out of all his gold coins by those unscrupulous merchants. He couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat for his pitiful purse.
Isaac extended his hand and shook hands lightly with the other man. "It's a pleasure to meet you, Grand Duke of Bethlehem."
Sid paused for a moment upon hearing this, then smiled and said, "Oh, you two must have heard it from Bale, that kid is always very well-informed."
He clapped his hands, regaining his usual composure. "Alright, let's not stand here any longer. Let's have breakfast first. I have to attend the Alchemy City's weekly meeting a little after ten."
After saying that, Xi De led Yun Wei downstairs.
As everyone passed through the living room, Yun Wei noticed the ore boxes piled haphazardly in the space. The black slag had stained the luxurious carpet, and the shimmering, flaky fragments caught his eye.
This is coal.
Yun Wei recognized him at a glance.
When he was very young, natural gas was not yet widespread, and it was popular to burn a type of honeycomb briquette shaped like a chimney in the yard. The briquette column with small round holes could be just right to be clamped with fire tongs.
In winter, people would sit outside, light a stove, and roast and eat zongzi (sticky rice dumplings), enjoying a carefree and happy time.
"Please excuse my poor appearance. My assistant had already left when these ore samples were delivered yesterday, so I didn't have time to pack them up." Seeing Yun Wei staring at the ore boxes, Sid explained, "These are newly excavated ore samples from Blacksock. The lord there and I have a good relationship, and he hoped I could help him see if there was any special value in them."
It didn't seem like a big deal to tell Sid what he knew, Yun Wei thought, after all, he was going to confess to him later that he was a necromancer.
In any case, he didn't want to cause Sid unnecessary trouble.
So he said to Sid, “What a coincidence, Sid, I recognize this mineral. It’s coal. It’s very common on the mainland where I live, and it’s used for heating.”
Almost the instant he opened his mouth, Sid stopped in his tracks, took out a small magic crystal plate from his jacket pocket, and quickly pressed it onto the plate.
He lowered his head, but his expression was very serious: "Hmm, very good, Claude, please continue. This magic crystal board can reproduce the characters I typed. I'll go to the lab to organize them later."
Yun Wei was already used to the various inventions of the academic genius in front of him, but regarding the uses of coal...
He was somewhat embarrassed.
Firstly, he wasn't sure if his physics and chemistry knowledge from his previous life would be equally effective in this world. Secondly, to be honest, in terms of education, he was just an innocent second-year junior high school student!
Under the expectant gaze of the other party, he racked his brains and painstakingly squeezed out a few words: "What I said can only be taken as a reference, Sid. When smelting iron, you can add 'coal' to make stronger 'steel'."
"Then they were originally an industrial raw material that could be used to generate electricity."
"Oh, right, it seems that compressing them can also produce sparkling diamonds..."
That's all Yunwei could think of regarding coal.
"Gentlemen, breakfast is ready!"
Meanwhile, George's butler was already standing in the dining room, inviting everyone to take their seats.
Yun Wei turned to look at Xi De, but saw an unusually excited glint in the other's emerald green eyes.
