Although Gusion was aware of the terms and conditions in the bond, he was someone that was uncomfortable with requesting items from Saleen . He always felt that if he began to request for items from Saleen without having made any contributions, he would be looked down by others . After what Saleen said, he felt even more embarrassed .
"My Lord, let's talk about this next time . "
Saleen patted his forehead and said, "I finally understand why you have not been able to provide for your own mercenary group . Gusion, you are no longer a mercenary . You are now a follower, so when I am in danger, you must be the first to come forward to protect me . I will be responsible for all your equipment and I promise that I will do my best for you . This is my duty, just like how you are responsible for my safety . It is the same principle . "
Gusion was blushing and did not know how to argue . He had no choice but to list the measurements and types of equipment he needed .
Gusion was a silver grand swordmaster, so his requirements for weapons were very high . The long sword that he always brought along with him had already been destroyed after he tried to split Tyrant's black shield . Ordinary weapons would never be able to handle the silver sword aura .
While Saleen was thinking about how to refine Gusion's equipment, part of him was already thinking about Lex .
He would be marrying Lex soon . He could not possibly be wearing a mage robe on their wedding day . He was already wearing devil armor, so it did not matter if he changed what he was wearing outside . As for Lex's mage robe, he had no idea…
Saleen was a little distracted and worried . The assassin they killed today was a creature from the ghost dimension . If an even more powerful assassin appeared on their wedding day, would Lex be in danger if she was not wearing a mage robe?
Any minor mistakes could be fatal when facing a powerful assassin . If Eleanor was the one fighting the assassin today, she would have been killed in a single hit .
Gusion thought Saleen was distracted because he was thinking about his equipment, so he dismissed himself to give Saleen some space and time . Saleen did not ask him to stay since he already remembered what Gusion required . Resources were not a problem since the Qin noble families had sent over quite a lot of them . It was probably better to speak to Lex first . With that, Saleen asked Cuisi to bring Lex to him .
Lex was not Sika . She needed to be mindful about her status, so she dared not stay with Saleen before they were wedded to avoid gossip . Lex had always stayed on the fifth floor of the small tower, just below Eleanor . Another magic tower had been built in the palace, but it had been given to her grade-7 mage, so she could not move in either .

There were another two eight-story magic towers still being built outside of the palace . The two new followers had built the magic towers near the south gate so that they would be able to respond quickly to any attacks from Cloudflow . With these two magic towers, Cloudflow would have to deploy a large number of armies in order to break through the gate successfully .
Lex had no clue why Saleen had asked for her . Usually, he would go to her small tower if he needed to look for her . Sensing something was amiss, Lex decided not to bring along any mages and came alone instead .
After preparing tea for both of them, Cuisi left the room . Saleen and Lex were then alone . Saleen raised his cup and recalled how they met for the first time . Lex raised her cup as well, with her back facing him . Back then, Lex was unattainable . She was a grade-5 mage and the Princess of an Empire who had thousands of apprentices across thousands of miles .
After staying silent for some time, Lex could not help but ask, "Saleen, why have you called for me? I still have quite a few things to settle on my side . "
"Oh, Lex, what are you wearing other than that rainbow robe?" Saleen asked directly, but felt awkward immediately .
Lex noticed Saleen's face turning red and she coughed once before saying, "Saleen, there are so many people around here . What's the hurry? If there's nothing else, I'm going back!"
"No! Lex, wait . " Saleen quickly explained himself, seeing how Lex was about to leave . "We are mages, but I was thinking that we will be wearing normal robes most of the time in future . Your mage robe was refined by Joey, so I'm not worried about that, but what if you change into normal robes?"
"I see . Saleen, you are really… hmm, my God's ring is able to stabilize elements to a certain extent . "
"There are other uses for the God's ring, I'm sure . Lex, look at this . "
With that, Saleen did not even take off his robe . Instead, he took off his outerwear to reveal his devil armor .
Lex did not possess elemental eyes, so she only realized the equipment that Saleen had been wearing inside after he took off his outerwear . It was a piece of equipment that was of high level and could stabilize elements . Wearing it would allow Saleen to cast spells that were beyond his grade without causing any conflicts between elements . That was extremely important to a mage .

A mage without a magic tower would never take off their magic robe even when they were sleeping .
The reason why Saleen and Lex were able to cast middle-grade spells at will or use high-level scrolls without any hesitation was because they possessed equipment that surpassed mages of the same grade . They might even surpass most sorcerers too . In the process of casting spells, the two of them would never risk messing up the elements of the dimension, so they were also able learn spells much faster than others .
When learning new spells, the two of them did not have to conduct any experiments first . They only needed to memorize the mantra, adjust the magic chords, and determine the essence of the spell . After that, they would just need to familiarize themselves with the spell so that the speed with which they would cast the spells could increase over time .
Without good equipment, even the most talented mage would never be able to surpass someone of ordinary talent like Saleen, much less someone like Lex .
Lex stretched out her finger with the mysterious God's ring on it . She placed her finger on Saleen's chest and slid it across gently . Her eyes were fixed on the surface of the God's ring .
"Did you refine this yourself?" Lex was shocked .
"It was Joey . "
"A tight-fitting magic robe . What an incredible design . Surely the quality of the resources used were a bit too precious?" Lex shook her head . She could never wear it . If she took it, what would Saleen wear? Saleen would surely have a harder time advancing than her . This piece of equipment was clearly meant to complement the strange long robe that Saleen was wearing on the outside . If she took it for herself, his equipment would be incomplete .
"I have tried to refine something similar before . " Saleen did not dare to mention that the armor that he had tried to refine was for Sika . In the process of refining the armor, Sika had stripped naked in front of Saleen . Lex was still very innocent . He was afraid that she would leave if he brought that up .
"How did it turn out?" Lex asked . To a mage, a tight-fitting equipment like that was much more powerful than ordinary magic robes . She was definitely tempted .
"Have you forgotten? I obtained the four trees and I cut down the branches and refined the tree bark into very thin strands so that they could be made into clothes of any shape and form . "
"Then why do you ask? You cannot bear to do it?" Lex hit Saleen's chest gently .

"… No . I'm just afraid that what I refined might not fit the shape of your body," Saleen said carefully .
Lex's eyelids twitched . She looked at the door and noticed that it was tightly shut . She never realized that a mute enchantment was already in place .
Could Saleen be trying to take advantage of her…?
Lex immediately relaxed . She would be wedded to Saleen soon . He would not resort to something like that .
"Saleen, do you wish to see the shape of my body?" Lex asked openly .
"Indeed . " Saleen's heart rate increased and he could feel himself having some difficulty breathing .
Lex removed her rainbow robe gently before taking off her outerwear, revealing her last layer of clothing . Saleen was staring intently all the while . Lex was frustrated and said, "You have elemental eyes . You can see for yourself . Don't tell me you still want me to undress further…"
After Lex removed her rainbow robe, Saleen could already use his elemental eyes to observe . Without the buffer of the rainbow robe, Saleen could easily see the shape of Lex's body . The strands made from the bark of the divine tree were not entirely flexible . He needed exact measurements in order to refine an equipment that was fitting, naturally Saleen would not pass this task to anyone else .
If anyone wanted to peek at Lex's body, he would dig out the fellow's eyes .
"No, Lex . Your body smells so good!" Saleen could not help but remark . There was a strange and faint smell on Lex's body . Saleen's senses were very keen so even a smell as faint as that was obvious to him .
"You have already hugged me before, why are you behaving like this!" Lex was no longer angry . She explained to Saleen, "The secret technique that I have been training causes it . Before my father advanced beyond grade-9, his body also had this distinct smell . If I did not possess the God's ring, the entire courtyard would already be filled with this smell . "
When Lex and Saleen were in the Hell of God's Punishment and were entering the world that Rafael created, they had held onto each other tightly as well . Lex felt warmth in her heart when she recalled this memory .
"We did hug before, but you vomited all over me . " At the end of the day, Saleen was someone with experience in such matters . When he heard what Lex said, he decided to be thick-skinned and joked with Lex to reduce the awkwardness .
"Lex…"
"What?"
Saleen stood up as well and walked to Lex's side . He stretched out his arms around Lex and said, "I want to hug you again . "
He was already hugging her by the time he spoke . Lex did not push him away . She rested her head on his shoulder and put her hands into Saleen's long robe to hug him as well . Instead of feeling any burning sensation from Lex's body, Saleen only detected fragrance .
If it was Sika, she would have already pushed him onto the ground?
At that thought, Saleen's nether regions hardened . Lex was sensitive enough to sense it, but did not push Saleen away . Instead, she only hugged him even tighter . This junior mage had already grown up and would be her pillar of support in the future . Once this thought appeared in her mind, Lex's heart finally melted .
"Lex…"
"Hmm?" Lex replied, with her head still buried in Saleen's chest . Saleen raised his right hand and caressed Lex's long hair . All of a sudden, he tipped Lex's head up from his shoulder and kissed her with force .
Saleen could feel all the fragrance being sucked into the kiss . Lex struggled for a moment before shifting her hands behind Saleen's head and kissing him back .
Both of them were overwhelmed by love for a moment .
