Chapter 646: Lanchi Summons a Father Figure
Chapter 646: Lanchi Summons a Father Figure
"If I call out to her in my mind every day, won't she hear all my thoughts?"
"What?" Talia snapped out of her daze and moved closer to Lanchi.
"Nothing, it's nothing!" Lanchi shook his head vigorously, desperately trying to suppress his thoughts.
In that moment, he felt that death was not so far away.
Talia looked at him suspiciously.
But now was not the time to dwell on such things.
The most important issue at hand was that if she had replaced the Great Lover as his familiar, how would their lives change during the time they spent together from now on?
At this moment, the bedroom in the wooden cabin was exceptionally quiet.
Talia had cast a soundproof barrier when she entered, even preventing Mr. Meow from entering.
This matter concerned the life and death of the two of them, and they couldn't let anyone else know!
Talia walked over to draw the curtains and turned on the floor lamp by the soft carpet along the wall, immediately bathing the walls in a soft light that made the entire space seem more spacious and bright.
"I feel like something else has changed about me." Talia frowned as she stood in front of Lanchi, deep in thought.
She couldn't quite describe it, but she felt that something was definitely different.
"Perhaps it's your body constitution. If you've become my destined familiar, you might actually be immortal now. As long as I don't die, you won't either. But if I do, you'll disappear along with me." Lanchi analyzed, "Of course, if you want to restore your original state through another summoning, that method won't work for us at the moment. Setting aside the cooldown period for another summoning, my magical power is simply insufficient."
Even resurrecting Ranfu required a significant amount of magic, let alone Talia.
Using his own magical power to sustain an eighth-rank familiar was still too much for him, a sixth-rank mage.
It was an unbearable burden.
"I'm not that heavy." Talia said, looking intently at Lanchi.
At a height of 168 cm, she only weighed 52 kilograms, which was hardly heavy.
"Where is your focus right now?" Lanchi asked, confused.
If he remembered correctly, Talia should have weighed 51 kilograms when they first met a year ago.
As he had thought, even though she could speed up her digestion and convert energy into magical power, she had still gained a little weight from eating like this every day.
"How do you know my weight?" Talia asked in astonishment.
"Hmm?" Lanchi covered his head.
It seemed that no matter what he thought about, Talia could hear his thoughts.
And he could hear hers as well!
Even without speaking, they were communicating!
"You pervert!" Talia had never felt like she wanted to get away from Lanchi more.
"Wait, let's discuss what we should do next. If we continue like this, I'll die from magical power exhaustion in less than two hours." Lanchi finally said with a hint of panic.
If his magical power was completely depleted and he continued to force its use, it would start to deplete his life force at an exponential rate.
Eventually, his magical circuits would be damaged, and even if his life was saved, he would be left with a disability.
"What can we do?" Talia asked.
"First of all, any action you take will increase the consumption of magical power, especially if you enter a combat state, the consumption will surge instantly. So, if possible, could you please sit down?" Lanchi persuaded.
Talia hesitated for a moment, then sat on the edge of the bed, gesturing for Lanchi to sit next to her.
What Lanchi said was true.
This was how familiars worked, and in her current state, she could indeed feel that she was consuming Lanchi's magical power.
"For the next few days, you'll probably have to spend most of your time in the form of a magic card with me." Lanchi said seriously.
"Are you joking?" Talia looked at him wide-eyed.
"What should I eat? Where will I stay? What's the difference between being a magic card and being imprisoned?"
"You'll have to stay in my dorm room for now, and don't worry, I'll summon you for every meal. While in the form of a magic card, you can sleep in a soul-like state." Lanchi said solemnly, then added, "If you want to maintain the summoning state for longer, eat as much as possible, or you can lie down and I'll feed you. That way, it consumes less magic power."
"You..." Talia scowled and closed her eyes, her cheeks reddening as she felt like giving Lanchi a punch.
"Most of the time, just rest on the sofa. Whatever you need, just ask me and I'll get it for you. Don't move around by yourself." Lanchi looked at her with concern, as if she were a revered deity.
"..." Talia's veins popped on the back of her hand.
Do I really need your care like this? She didn't know if Lanchi was forced or willing to do this.
Either way, this guy's way of thinking was damn annoying.
"Anyway, I bought a lot of equipment cards for Mr. Meow before, which increase the upper limit of magic power and recovery speed. Now I'll unbind the cards that can be unbound, except for your card and other epic cards, and use them to expand my magic power. As long as we don't enter a combat state, it should be fine to maintain your simple activities for a few hours." Lanchi calculated his card slots.
Having reached the sixth rank, he had a total of 60 fee card slot limit. The epic cards couldn't be unbound, except for the six 1-fee Soul Imprints, the 3-fee Inferno Choir and Little Sun, the 4-fee Wolf, and the 5-fee Stone Tablet, plus the 8-fee card forcibly occupied by Talia, leaving 31 fee of free card slots. Using them all to stack magic power, magic power limit, and recovery speed would help a lot.
Of course, in reality, Talia wouldn't be able to maintain her summoning for that long. If their magic power ran out, both Lanchi and Talia would lose their combat abilities. For safety, they would usually have to leave at least half of it untouched.
"There's no other way, this is the only option."
Talia hesitated for a moment, then finally shook her head in compromise.
Thinking positively, at least their dates and travels in the Kingdom of Posen wouldn't be too affected.
"Yes, our dates and travels won't be too affected." Lanchi repeated.
"..." Talia bit her lip.
Her fist tightened further.
The calm way he had said it made it seem like he wasn't up to any mischief.
At this moment, Lanchi was propping his chin with one hand, narrowing his eyes with a smile as he watched her.
"I've endured you for a long time!"
The more he acted like this, the more infuriating he became! Finally, Talia couldn't take it anymore and pinned Lanchi to the ground.
"Stop! Big Sis Tata, don't enter a combat state!" Lanchi suddenly realized they were in Tata's room, and with the soundproof barrier, no one could hear them even if they shouted!
In a few moves, he was completely subdued by Tata.
"Do you know who's the boss now?" Talia slowly sat on Lanchi's back, elegantly crossing her legs as she asked in a self-talking manner.
"..." Lanchi felt that no matter how he struggled, he couldn't move at all. Talia had made him realize what an eighth-rank familiar's power was like.
The main thing was that his magic power had dropped a bit just now while being suppressed.
Who has a summoned beast that consumes magic power and attacks its summoner!
Putting aside whether the [Love Demon King] was strong or not, just this side effect was a bit too much for him to bear!
"...I was wrong." Lanchi admitted his mistake, gritting his teeth in humiliation.
"Oh, that's the most pleasant thing I've heard all year." Talia stood up from Lanchi, with her arms folded, she said with satisfaction.
