When Marvin learnt how he had been awakened by Lorie's kiss, he froze.

Marvin had noticed that the girl was attracted to him. Even if Marvin was slow with these kinds of things, he could feel it.

It was a girl's admiration toward heroes.

Originally, Marvin thought that this kind of admiration wouldn't cause too much trouble. She was still young, after all.

Among the three Fate Sisters, she was the least powerful.

But in fact, Marvin felt that Wisdom was a suitable Fate Power for Lorie.

She was actually a very precocious girl.

Her feelings toward Marvin had been visible when Marvin first arrived at Hope City.

When Marvin helped them get rid of Tess, although it greatly helped Hope City at the time, they could have offered other things as rewards instead of Golden Blood.

The valuable Golden Blood was something the current Marvin who had Divine Source didn't necessarily need, but it had been invaluable to him at the time.

As Jessica chillingly recounted the events from back then, Marvin realized that Lorie had decided to give her own portion of Golden Blood to him as the reward, sacrificing herself of her own initiative.

She had definitely noticed that Marvin needed Golden Blood.

But for Lorie, doing this would limit her advancement indefinitely.

Among the Three Fate Sisters, Jessica's power was already at the 6th Layer and could be considered unrivalled among Legends. Kate wasn't lacking either, as her Protection Fate Power gave her the strength to protect the city.

With her Protection, Hope City's Source of Fire was currently safe, even though they didn't establish a Sanctuary. The entire Rocky Mountain was still peaceful.

This was due to Kate.

But as for Lorie, her strength wasn't able to keep up with that of her sisters.

At this time, she only had the strength of a 3rd rank classholder, not even a Legend.

Although this was related to her age, if she had taken the Golden Blood, she would definitely have become a Half-Legend.

And this time, in order to save Marvin, she had no other choice but to pour her Fate Power into Marvin's consciousness.

Because her Fate Power was relatively low, she wasn't yet able to project it out of her body. Thus, at Ding's suggestion, she kissed Marvin despite her embarrassment and used her love as a bridge to try to connect to Marvin's consciousness.

And she surprisingly succeeded.

But for the little girl, the price wasn't just her first kiss.

She lost part of her Fate Power!

At this point, Jessica's expression grew ever more severe.

She was a very tough person. She would never let her younger sister be bullied by others.

Even if that person was Marvin!

But what made her feel helpless about it was that Lorie had made her own decision, and Marvin had been unconscious at the time.

She couldn't protest much about what happened, and thus she could only try to compel Marvin to take care of Lorie.

Marvin didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

He subconsciously looked at his own interface and surprisingly found out that his own willpower had increased by 5!

The young Fate Sorceress' kiss was more effective than the Witch Queen's Tear.

Moreover, under his attributes section, a [Wisdom (Fate Sorceress)] option appeared.

It seemed like a skill that could be activated. When Marvin used it, he would become extremely clear-headed.

Immunity to all control-type spells, charm-type spells, and a substantial increase to insight.

This was a very useful ability!

One example of a situation where this would be very useful was that if Marvin wanted to cooperate with Devils, with this ability he would be able to more easily notice any loopholes and traps in a contract.

Moreover, a clear mind was extremely helpful in battle.

But because of this, Lorie's power fell yet again.

Although she didn't lose a rank, she was far from the 4th rank now.

With all this to think about, Marvin was silent for a long time before he solemnly swore, "Regarding what fate actually throws at us, I can't guarantee much to you. But you can trust me, I'll do all I can to protect her and won't let others harm her."

"As for the matter of Golden Blood and Fate Power, I'll think of a way."

Jessica snorted, but she also knew that this was a very special situation, and she couldn't press Marvin too much.

She immediately left the study.

Marvin forced a smile and sat down on his chair.

"Really… You don't have to pay attention to her."

A sweet voice echoed from behind a bookcase.

Marvin smiled. He already knew that someone had been hiding there, but he hadn't pointed it out.

Jessica must also have been aware.

Thus, she left quickly after speaking her mind.

"Thank you," Marvin said sincerely.

So far, Lorie had helped him tremendously two times. The first time was his Shapeshift Sorcerer's breakthrough, gaining Diamond Shape and increasing his strength, paving the way for the following dragon slaying. This time, she helped him come back from the dream space. Marvin was able to stand here now because Lance killed Ambella and because the power of Wisdom was able to nourish and rouse his mind.

Everything that involved battles in the mind tended to be very frightening. A mere moment of inattention could result in death!

Like what happened to Ambella. She used Divine Power to enter Marvin's consciousness, taking huge risks.

She failed and died.

If not for Lorie, Marvin could have had trouble getting out of his consciousness!

"I owe you two huge favors," he solemnly said.

The girl behind the bookshelf gently insisted, "It was my choice."

Marvin coughed, feeling like the atmosphere was a bit wrong.

"Because I like you…" she continued.

This sentence coming from the mouth of a shy little girl caught Marvin unprepared.

"You are still too young…" Marvin said perfunctorily.

"I can grow up." Perhaps it was because she was hiding behind the bookcase, but the little girl became extremely daring. "As a Fate Sorceress, I can speed up my growth. If you'd like it, I can speed it up by ten times!"

"In a few months, I'll become as big as my older sister."

Marvin suddenly had a headache. "Don't!"

"Eh?" Lorie let out a voice of surprise. "You don't like me growing up…"

"Then you like the smaller me?"

"A bit weird… But it's not impossible…"

Marvin completely collapsed!

He ran out from the study.

Facing the little girl's confession, he could only flee. When he left the study, he noticed Jessica guarding the door. She glared ruthlessly at Marvin.

Marvin forced a smile and gave her a meaningful look, hinting her to take care of her younger sister.

In any case, the two sisters were unlikely to stay in White River Valley for a long time, so Marvin decided to just let it be.

He rushed toward Anna's workplace.

"Any recent news?" Marvin asked.

"Yes, and it's very important news," Anna quickly reported. "While you were unconscious, some unforeseen events happened in the North… This is the news Miss Eve sent."

She handed a letter to Marvin as she spoke.
