Transmigrated Into the World of Magic and Swords-Chapter 122: Rank 6 Defensive Formation

’It’s still 05:30 am. I will sleep a little longer.’

Right after Scarlett embraced Ren’s left hand, she shut her eyes.

However, she opened her eyes within seconds because she realized that sleeping in his arms was better.

’I will sleep in his arms.’

After lying on top of him, she grabbed his hands and put them on her hips.

’Goodnight, Ren.’

She smiled happily before finally closing her eyes.

At 06:00 am, the trio woke up.

Ren pinched Scarlett’s right cheek after waking up.

He also told her not to overwork herself again. He said he would slap her buttocks if she didn’t listen to him.

Lexie covered her mouth and giggled when she saw him scolding Scarlett because it was a funny sight, especially when she saw Scarlett’s reaction.

After scolding her, Ren suddenly felt guilty, so he kissed her on the forehead, which made Scarlett happy instantly.

"Remember, you are not allowed to work after 8 o’clock." he knew he sounded strict, but his concern for her well-being outweighed everything else.

"Un. I will listen to you." Scarlett nodded her head.

Ren retrieved a copy of the defensive formation from his space ring and gave it to Scarlett. "Here, I have a good defensive formation book. You can use this formation to protect our city."

He activated the Defensive Formation card and made a copy of it yesterday.

At first, he hesitated about giving it to Scarlett immediately because, from his point of view, it was not the right time to give her a defensive formation.

After all, they had just woken up.

However, he made up his mind shortly after that because the sooner he gave it to Scarlett, the safer their city would be.

"Defensive formation?" Scarlett took the book and sat up.

’Rank 6 defensive formation?!’

The expression of deep shock blossomed on her face when she found out it was a rank 6 defensive formation.

Lexie, who noticed Scarlett’s expression, asked curiously. "What’s wrong, sister Scarlett?"

Scarlett turned to Lexie and answered, "It’s a rank 6 defensive formation."

"What?! A rank 6 defensive formation?!" Lexie immediately sat up and checked the formation book too.

’It’s really a rank 6 defensive formation.’

As the owner of a famous auction house, she knew how rare and valuable a rank 6 defensive formation was.

If they had used a rank 6 defensive formation before the war against the magical beasts, their city would not have been destroyed because it could only be destroyed by 6-star mages or Transcendent rank warriors.

"Where did you get this rank 6 defensive formation?" Scarlett and Lexie asked in unison.

"I rested in a cave right after leaving Herora City." Ren could not tell the truth, so he made up a story.

He said he accidentally found a hidden door inside the cave. Right after opening the door, he saw a skeleton sitting on the ground.

The defensive formation was one of the items in the space ring that he took from the skeleton.

"A skeleton? I really envy your luck, Ren." Lexie immediately believed his words because hidden doors inside caves weren’t unheard of.

"Envy of my luck? Then, how about I share my luck with you now?" he teased her and leaned forward.

"No. I’m no longer envious of your good luck. Go away, pervert!" Lexie pushed him away when he got too close to her.

"Are you sure? As Aeris, I have great luck in my body. Come here, beauty. Let me share my great luck with you...mouth to mouth." Ren tried to kiss her while laughing.

"No! Sister Scarlett, help me. A pervert young man is trying to kiss me." Lexie kept stopping him from kissing her. freёwebnoѵel.com

At this moment, Scarlett stared at the formation book with a sad face because she suddenly remembered her people who had fallen on the battlefield defending their city.

’If only I had this formation at that time...’

The more she remembered them, the sadder she became.

"Sister Scarlett, hel-" Lexie stopped laughing when she noticed Scarlett’s sad expression. "What’s wrong?"

Ren also stopped his playful antics. "What’s wrong, Scarlett?"

They didn’t understand what was happening because she had been fine before.

"If only I had this rank 6 defensive formations before the war, not a single citizen would have died, and our city would not have been destroyed," Scarlett said in a sad voice as her fingers traced the edges of the book.

Even though they had won the war, many people died in the process of killing Julzreon and his subordinates.

Many wives became widows.

Many husbands became widowers.

And many children lost their parents.

The sacrifices that needed to be made to win the war were so great, to the point that they felt like they also lost the war.

"Sister Scarlett, we can’t change what happened, but we can protect the future." Lexie could understand Scarlett’s feelings because she also lost many subordinates who had followed her for a long time.

"That’s right," Ren added. "And even though they have passed away, they are still with us. I’m sure they are watching us from heaven with smiles on their faces now."

"Yes. I also believe they are smiling at us right now." Lexie touched Scarlett’s right shoulder as she tried to ease the sadness in her heart. "We should focus on making our city stronger and providing a good life for their families now. Let’s make sure their sacrifice was not in vain."

"Yes. We must protect the families they left behind and give them a good life." Scarlett promised herself that she would make Nightshire City much stronger than before so that bad people would think twice before attacking them. "Thank you for the rank 6 defensive formation, Ren."

"Un." He nodded as he smiled.

Shortly after that, Scarlett and Lexie headed to the kitchen to make breakfast.

Even though Lexie could not cook, she always helped Scarlett prepare food because, with this, she could learn how to cook and help Scarlett at the same time.

Time went by quickly and without realizing it, it had been three months since they won the war against magical beasts.

At this moment, the progress of rebuilding Nightshire City had reached sixty percent. Houses had begun to fill the city, and trade was already taking place.

The new Nightshire City was more amazing than before.

They rebuilt their city almost from scratch, so Scarlett decided to make their city bigger, stronger and more magnificent.

Of course, her decision was supported by her people because they also wanted their new city to be more amazing than before.

"Steamed buns! Steamed buns! It’s still hot. Come and try it."

"We have sweet Tanghulu. Once you try it, you won’t stop eating it."

"Everyone, come and try our new menu. It’s called Golden Rice and Black Chicken. I’m sure you will love it."

The street was bustling with activities.

The scent of roasting meat and sweet pastries filled the air, and many parents enjoyed the afternoon atmosphere with their children.

At this moment, Ren was strolling around the city with Luna.

Their hearts throbbed with happiness, and happy laughter often escaped their mouths. The duo was delighted because they could take a walk on a beautiful afternoon.

"Big brother, let’s buy some steamed buns," Luna uttered.

"Sure." He agreed instantly.

After buying the steamed buns, the duo sat in public seating and enjoyed the atmosphere again.

Meanwhile at Ren’s house, Scarlett was talking with Lexie in the living room. They finished their work faster, so they could go home earlier.

"You are going to Vraisa City tomorrow morning? Is it really fine for you to leave at this moment?" Lexie inquired.

"It’s fine," Scarlett said she wanted to buy city defense equipment and materials to make armor and weapons.

She told Lexie not to worry about her city as her subordinates would protect it and cover her work.

With the rank 6 defensive formation Ren gave her three months ago, she believed nothing bad would happen to her city and her people because her subordinates would activate the formation if the city or the citizens were in danger.

"Are you going to Vraisa alone?" Lexie threw another question at Scarlett.

"No. I plan to take Ren with me." Scarlett responded, "Sister Lexie, how about you come to Vraisa with us? We can enjoy the city of Vraisa for a day after I finish my business later."

Before Lexie could answer it, Re and Luna stepped into the living room.

"We are home."

"We are home."

Ren and Luna entered the house with happy faces.
