Chapter 1280: 863 Chapter Plot Props_2 Chapter 1280: 863 Chapter Plot Props_2 As for where exactly the flaw lies… well, Alice Phil definitely couldn’t point it out. In Duanmu Huai’s view, as a female, Alice Phil indeed seems perfect, with a nice figure and soft skin, and her reactions are quite endearing… ahem, I’m digressing.
After all, she is considered a “perfect” artificial human.
So strictly speaking, the two of them are different.
Hmm, Duanmu Huai can let this go now.
“Sigh…”
Taking a breath, Duanmu Huai stepped into the living room, where Alice Phil, upon seeing him, hurriedly rose to her feet.
“You’re back, MASTER.”
“Yes, I’m back.”
“I also saw Miss Mary just now, she said she needs to go tidy up…”
“Ah…”
Hearing Alice Phil’s report, Duanmu Huai smiled wryly—the tactics against the Son of the Black Goat had been perfect, albeit not without losses. Besides a dozen Night Guards, the biggest problem was—Mary’s hair got singed.
It’s inevitable, given the energy flood that could lt even stone; even with Duanmu Huai and the magic barrier’s protection, not everything about Mary could be fully safeguarded, not to ntion the scorching air would have cooked anyone without any protection to a crisp. Relatively speaking, Mary only losing so hair was not a big deal in Duanmu Huai’s view.
However, Mary clearly had so complaints about it, grumbling all the way back—seems like the saying that hair is a woman’s life does hold so truth.
Although Duanmu Huai didn’t see it as a big deal…
“Mr. Duanmu with no hair just doesn’t understand the importance of hair!”
Rarely did the usually genteel Mary speak so aggressively… Strictly speaking, Duanmu Huai isn’t bald, he simply dislikes haircuts and chooses to shave his head…
“Mr. Knight should also pay more attention to a girl’s feelings; for girls, hair is very important.”
Sitting on the other side, Ann also swirled her teacup, chuckling as she spoke.
With more people joining the Tribunal, several unwritten rules had ford.
Generally, most of the ti, the girls centering around Duanmu Huai would chat over tea in the parlour, much like a company’s break room, and everyone would head there first upon returning to greet each other and share their recent experiences.
If Duanmu Huai has any announcents, he would gather everyone in the Combat Command Room.
Besides that, the girls spent most of their ti on their own, either in their rooms, the library, or jogging along the entire satellite orbit—no need to say who that’s about.
“It’s just a strand of hair, and it can grow back anyway.”
Duanmu Huai didn’t think it was that important. In Alice Phil’s world, won’s hair is used as a dium for magic, so female magicians there usually have long hair. Mary’s hair, however, wasn’t needed as a dium…
“Sigh…”
Hearing Duanmu Huai’s response, Ann sighed in exasperation.
“Mr. Knight can be quite frustrating at tis.”
“Alright, I’ll just rember that you girls value hair more than gold.”
Duanmu Huai did not want to endlessly argue on a topic he completely didn’t understand, just like he couldn’t fathom why won online would argue over lipstick colors.
Isn’t it just painting the lips red? What’s the difference?
To step back a million miles, it’s just pink and deep red.
All this talk about this red and that red, and they sell for so expensive… These are systems n simply can’t understand.
Hmm, just like won can’t understand n’s obsession with graphics cards.
Aren’t they all graphics cards? What’s the difference between AMD and NVIDIA?
“Is there anything else you need to report? If not, I’ll head back now.”
Upon hearing Duanmu Huai’s words, Miss Ogis quickly climbed up Duanmu Huai’s body like a monkey, settling onto his shoulder, and glanced around at the others while Ann and the rest just shook their heads.
“There’s nothing important.”
“Then we’ll talk about it later.”
Ah, isn’t this the mont when I should have an eunuch by my side, who then says every morning, “Report if there’s an issue, otherwise, take leave from the court”?
Having Miss Ogis say that… seems a bit off, right?
Recalling the TV dramas he had watched, Duanmu Huai muttered to himself and then turned around and left the parlor with Ogis.
“I’m back!”
Shortly after Duanmu Huai left, dea also arrived in the parlor with a cheerful smile, greeting everyone.
“dea, you’re back. How are things on the other side?”
Seeing dea, Alice Phil poured her a cup of tea while asking.
“Yes, it’s quite nice. Arkham City feels wonderful; I really like it there.”
Taking the cup of tea from Alice Phil, dea enjoyed her tea while smiling brightly and answering. For dea, Arkham City in the Faelun World was very much like the world she lived in—a world filled with magic, demon beasts, and deities, which made her truly enjoy her leisurely life in Arkham City, and she also found the deities of that world quite fascinating.
The only regret was that the world didn’t have the goddess Hecate, whom dea worshipped…
“It’s been tough on you, Miss dea; thanks to you, I could finally be freed.”
Anya waved her hand at dea and said—originally, Anya was in charge as the Magic Advisor of Arkham City, but being the Princess of Manaria, she needed to manage dostic affairs and was a bit overwheld. dea’s arrival provided relief for Anya; being a Princess and a powerful magician herself, and more versed in deities than Anya, dea quickly took over the role of Magic Advisor, allowing Anya to slack off here.
“There’s nothing much; I quite like that world… Has MASTER co back yet?”
“He just got back; he went to rest.”
“Alone?”
Upon hearing Alice Phil’s answer, dea’s eyes lit up.
“No, Miss Ogis is with him.”
“Ah… I didn’t expect MASTER, who looks so stark, to be so popular with the girls.”
Hearing dea’s remarks, Alice Phil silently nodded in agreent. Although they didn’t like to admit it, they initially felt sowhat superior. After all, even though Duanmu Huai was powerful, his stern appearance wasn’t the type generally liked by girls, so at the beginning, they didn’t think they had much competition.
But at the Tribunal, they realized… there were indeed quite a few girls around Duanmu Huai.
And… they were by no ans inferior to them.
Although, as Servants, they had ford a solid contract with Duanmu Huai, they still felt sowhat insecure…
“But speaking of which, there are no n at all in the upper echelons of the Tribunal.”
“That’s not too bad, right? It’s like the Temple; after all, having too many n could lead to trouble, I’ve seen too much of it before…”
While saying this, dea sighed.
“Like a lower-ranking Legion commander falling for the newly-wed wife of his superior, and they elope. Or the confidant having a secret affair with the king’s wife, these things are all troubleso… History is full of such cases. Even my father… never mind, let’s leave it. Sotis it’s better this way.”
“Ah, I did ask Mr. Knight about this issue, guess what his answer was?”
Listening to their conversation, Anya ca over with a grin.
“What was his answer?”
“Mr. Knight said, he absolutely does not allow any man more handso than him to join the Tribunal.”
“……………”
Upon hearing Anya’s response, dea and Alice Phil exchanged glances.
It seems there will be no more n in the Tribunal.
