Fenwei blinked, a bad feeling slowly rising: "...So?"

Emiya took a breath, and just as she opened her mouth, her tongue was slightly tied.

He paused for a moment before speaking, "Sleep is for restoring magicka and stamina. Since I'm not expending any, I don't need to sleep. This way, I can devote an extra third of my time to arcane magic, significantly increasing my efficiency. This has nothing to do with my personal preference."

As she spoke, sleepiness finally began to creep in, and Emiya couldn't help yawning. "For now, it should be fine. Although my physical strength is a little weakened, as long as I rest a little, it won't affect my spellcasting."

This answer is so bizarre, but it is logically consistent.

Fenwei sighed: "What's going on with Silver?"

"Ah, this isn't the first time," Emilia replied. "She's... very strange. She's surprisingly insensitive to many things—in other words, she easily forgets to eat and sleep. And this time, she forgot to sleep again, and before she knew it, she was already asleep."

"...We druids firmly oppose this kind of lifestyle that harms our bodies!" Fenwei picked up Yin and placed him on his own leaf bed. "Well, then I have something else to ask you."

Emiya's face turned serious, and without hesitation, she sprayed a frost ray at her face. The bone-chilling coldness cleared her mind a little. "What's going on? Is it urgent? Is it important?"

"...Maybe it's very important, or maybe urgent." Fenwei sighed, put his hands on his chest, adjusted his breathing, as if making up his mind.

Then, she sat down in front of Emya and asked seriously, "Theoretically, Druids have nothing to do with worldly affairs. But the Druids of Faerun are half allies of the Harpers."

Emiya still hadn't reacted at all: "So?"

"As long as you speak." Fenwei had unknowingly placed his warm palm on the back of his hand.

"I will go on adventures with you."

"...Ah?!" Emiya was now completely awake. "Wait a moment."

Emiya had clearly never considered this approach, and was caught off guard. "First of all, you just took over as Chief Druid, and you're stepping down within a few days... Please be honest. How will this affect your future career as a druid?"

Fenwei's eyes roamed almost subconsciously, but in the end he couldn't escape Emilia's gaze.

Her lips trembled as she replied, "Chief Druid is a very important position. If I did something like this, I would never be able to become Chief of any guild again, even if I founded my own guild or won the competition again."

"Would an ordinary guild welcome a powerful second-in-command who might even be stronger than the chief druid?"

"...Of course you are not welcome."

Therefore, if Fenwei really leaves the Ring Society now, it would be more accurate to say that he is leaving the forest forever rather than leaving the Sharptooth Forest.

This is not joining an adventure, it is basically entrusting the rest of your life to others.

"Please don't joke like that," Emiya replied without hesitation. "I only have some personal matters to attend to right now, and I don't have any enemies to hunt down. I have no reason to ask you to make such a sacrifice. You've also gone through untold hardships to become the Chief Druid. There's no reason to give everything you've just gained to someone else."

"...You must think it over carefully." Fenwei's body trembled slightly. "If you regret it after today, I may not be able to make this decision."

"No need to think about it. Even if you ask me ten thousand times, I'll give the same answer." Emiya answered without any hesitation, "I don't think I'm qualified to take on this responsibility. I'll just pretend you didn't say anything."

"...Huh." Fenwei let out a long breath, feeling relaxed. "Then, here's the reward from the Chief Druid of the Sharptooth Forest for your assistance."

Fenwei smiled and held Emilia's hand. A warm current flowed through her palm into Emilia's body, silently dispelling all the fatigue in his body. "From now on, as long as I am alive, I will provide you with any service you need unconditionally and without asking for compensation."

"Whether you're suffering from injuries, poisoning, illness, curses, or even disabilities, I will unconditionally help you and your friends. If you're in danger, the Sharptooth Forest will do its best to help you as soon as they know about it." At this point, Fenwei pursed his lips, "—even resurrection."

Resurrection is a very delicate matter in Faerun.

On the one hand, resurrection, considered an absolute taboo in many legends, was not particularly difficult to achieve in Faerûn. Numerous priests and druids theoretically possessed the ability to resurrect the dead.

On the other hand, it is also considered a top-tier boon, not for sale. If you are not an ally of the caster, resurrection is out of reach.

Finally, resurrection didn't go as smoothly as expected. As some hellish jokes on Earth say: If you can go to heaven after death, but suicide can't, then if I murder a believer, should he thank me?

Regardless of whether there is a heaven on earth, there is no doubt that there is a heaven in this world.

Those who have been dead for a while may not be resurrected. If they revered the good gods during their lifetime, then after being judged in the realm of the dead god, they will go to the kingdom of the guardian god—at that time, they may find themselves enjoying this world and not longing for the mortal realm. If the soul of the deceased is unwilling to return to the mortal world, then resurrection will naturally fail.

In this case, Fenwei's promise means that Emilia and his team will become the highest-level friends of the Sharptooth Forest Ring from now on.

The Sharptooth Forest Circle was newly established, and the other druids were not strong enough. In this situation, if Emya made any excessive demands, Fenwë would bear them entirely.

Emiya sighed. "Anyway, I think free druid services are a bit too expensive. I think a discount is sufficient. At most, the discount should be even greater."

"What's the use of a druid asking for money?" Fenwei chuckled. She thought about it, and suddenly a malicious and mischievous smile appeared on her face.

"Mr. Emiya, you should understand that although it's called a spellcasting service, the temple doesn't actually [sell] services. In name only, you've made a donation to the temple and become its friend, so you can receive assistance, right?"

"Well, that's true."

"So, the actual pricing of services is actually entirely determined by the temple's leader. The same is true for druid circles. The so-called discounts are completely nonsense."

"Uh, sorry, I lost my temper."

Fenwei was originally sitting right in front of him, but at some point he had knelt in front of him, his body getting closer and closer to him.

What's worse is that her red lips are getting closer and closer, and the gloss on them is becoming more and more eye-catching.

"So, if you don't want free service, then I'll set the price. Do you understand?"

"Uh..." Emilia didn't react at first, but in order to avoid Fenwe's increasingly close face, her body began to lean back unconsciously, "Should be like this?"

"Then, trading services for services is fine, right?"

"It's no problem."

Before she knew it, Emiya was almost lying on the ground.

Fenwei was still relentless this time. Her knees had already moved to the side of his legs, and her whole body was almost pressed against him: "—I haven't mentioned any service yet, Mr. Emilia?"

Emiya was silent for a moment, trying to look away from her. "...Spellcasting services, of course, or consulting services, or security services?"

Fenwei showed an extremely bright, even ambiguous smile on his face.

Now, the two of them are really close.

Her breath, scented with the fragrance of leaves, had unknowingly sprayed on Emilia's face, making it a little itchy. "Of course it's [Service]. But it's not for the [Mage]. It's for [Yours]."

Emiya was completely afraid to move.

He turned his head to the side, trying his best to avoid Fenwei's body: "I understand, I choose to accept the free service! Is this okay? Don't come any closer!"

He is relatively conservative in terms of sex - he feels that unspeakable behavior is not just entertainment. Only by confirming the relationship first can we discuss the follow-up.

The problem is that his future is so uncertain—perhaps when he meets his teacher, he will say, "You can go back to Earth now." The cost of this kind of world travel is almost impossible to be low—so he is destined to give up all interpersonal relationships in a certain world.

So he would rather wait until everything is settled before moving forward.

"..." Fenwei looked into his eyes and was silent for a long time. He sighed, changed his unhappy expression back to one, and sat down in front of him again: "Let me add that helping other women with abortions is still somewhat taboo. If it's a woman you have a relationship with, don't even think about it."

Paladin Oath: Oath of Quest (Custom)

Note before reading: This article is the author's own personal setting, commonly known as private setting, and is not official content.

Seeking Oath

Paladins who believe in the Oath of Quest bear a heavy responsibility: they should serve as glorious idols, awakening people's yearning for magic and knowledge. At the same time, they should also become sharp swords, slaying those who abuse magic and commit all kinds of evil, and warning people that magic is not a tool for bullying the weak.

Paladins who follow this path almost always serve under a god of magic with similar tenets, becoming important members of the church.

The Secret Fire Knights of the Church of the Magic Goddess mainly follow this oath.

Creed of Quest

Knights of the Secret Fire also champion justice and fight evil. However, unlike the White Knights of the Vow of Devotion and the Green Knights of the Vow of the Ancients, they have a unique pursuit of knowledge and magic. The following creeds highlight their unique characteristics as paladins.

Knowing nothing about the future: Being cautious about the future is not groundless worry.

Ignorance of the past: What you have learned and know still needs to be reviewed from time to time.

Be ignorant of the present: everything you see and hear around you must be examined again and again.

Magic: Magic is the origin of the world and the goal of lifelong pursuit.

Knowledge: Knowledge is the greatest treasure of mortals and the ladder to transcendence and become a saint.

Channeling Divine Power

When you choose this oath at 3rd level, you gain the following two Channel Divinity options.

Arcane Gift: As an action, you raise your holy symbol to channel divine power to cast a prepared paladin spell that does not require concentration.

Dharma Protector Aura

Paladins of Mystra shoulder the burden of both spreading magic and fighting evil. Starting at 7th level, as long as you are not incapacitated, you radiate an aura of calm and focus.

The paladin and allies within a 10-foot radius of the paladin gain advantage on Constitution saving throws. At 18th level, this aura expands to a 30-foot radius.

The Fruit of Breaking the Law

Starting at 15th level, your relentless pursuit of magic allows you to better cope with your foes. Whenever a creature within 60 feet of you makes a Constitution, Wisdom, Intelligence, or Charisma saving throw, you can spend a reaction to grant disadvantage on that saving throw.

Blade of Silver

By 20th level, you understand how to make magic irresistible.

When you wield a magical sword, with a single action, you can transform the divine power within you into an endless wave that sweeps towards your enemies. A silver aura will appear around you with a 30-foot radius.

For the next minute, an enemy within your aura has disadvantage on saving throws against any magical effects.

You must finish a long rest before you can use this feature again.

Volume 3: The Baldur's Gate Murders

A harvest season

"what is this?"

The dwarf boss of Friendly Arms opened his eyes wide, pointed at the wooden pot in Emiya's hand, and asked in amazement.

Emiya said very seriously, "It's a souvenir from the woodcutter's settlement next to the Sharptooth Forest."

The dwarf boss nodded. "I know this is a wooden pot. But what's so special about it?"

"Of course, this pot is used to hold the woodcutters' most precious possessions."

"Ah? What valuables could a woodcutter have?"

"Yes. They keep bees, and honey is their most precious commodity."

"...?" Niggins Mirror Shadow stood up in surprise and reached out to fan the mouth of the pot. "It does have a sweet fragrance. But why is this pot empty?"

"Isn't this natural?" Hearing this, Emilia's face was full of shock. "If they are willing to give honey to me, then honey is not their most precious thing!"

"——Stop talking nonsense to me!"

The dwarf boss slammed the table. "I was asking if you had anything to say about your trip to the forest. And you just brushed me off with this?!"

Emilia's face turned serious again: "Those are things that are difficult to talk about."

At this moment, they were not in the secret room reserved for the Harpers, but were openly on the first floor of the Friendly Arms Inn.

This move showed one thing: some words are inherently dangerous. This time, they would only talk about things that could be heard.

The Friendly Arm's military might wasn't particularly strong. In a location like this, the Harpers would only listen to the gossip of passersby, not use it as a hub for gathering important information.

However, the old dwarf's face was full of dissatisfaction: "Who asked about your personal privacy! I was asking about things that everyone likes to hear!"

"What a joy to hear!"

"Don't play dumb with me!" The old dwarf put one foot on the table and threw himself in front of Emilia. "Do you think I don't know? It's hard enough to establish a relationship with a druid, and you! Look at the look in that female druid's eyes before she left! She kept looking back every few steps! How could you possibly hide this from me?! It's a good thing Cosette wasn't here today!"

Emiya was silent for a moment: "Then... I think we are very close friends."

"Is it a close friendship, or a very deep one?" The old dwarf made a lewd gesture with a mischievous look on his face.
