After Surviving the Apocalypse, I Built a City in Another World - Chapter 641

Chapter 641: First Magic Tool
She looked at the pendant nestled in her palms. The wooden pendant was a simple circular token about two inches in diameter and a few millimeters thick. On both sides and edges, there were various notches and patterns, each one with its own use.

It was also a bit warmer now, and it gave a reassuring feeling of sorts which was difficult to describe.

If she used her skill to look at the patterns, there would be various lines of energy traveling in each line and around the engravings.

With a heart beating loudly in excitement, she used her appraisal skill to determine its functions.

[Pendant of Protection (E). Capable of blocking 100 attacks from level 10 monsters.

[Passive: Increases defense by 10% when health is below 10%]

If other tool makers were here, they would be shocked. She really made a Magic Tool within a few weeks!

Althea was unaware of the blown minds she could’ve caused. She just admired the pendant. Although it was much weaker than what she would’ve liked, it was a great first try!

While it was nowhere near the value of a space stone, she would definitely make more and more, better and better ones for her husband. At the very least, he could focus on stronger monsters while not bothering with the weaker mob surrounding him.

If she could make a few more, then he could go in a mob if he had to and could come out unscathed!

She smiled, barely noticing how her eyelids were becoming heavier.

Her husband would love this!!

…

It was very late when Garan came home, feeling a little inebriated. Although his metabolic rate was fast, Gill bought a lot of strong alcohol for the group of them.

He managed to get back home without incident though, thanks to his training. What he didn’t expect though, was to see his wife sleeping on the sofa.

“Althea?” he voiced out, though his feet had already moved to get to her. Without another word, he carried her to their bedroom.

Amazingly, even in his inebriated state, he was completely stable even when he carried the weight of another person.

In Terran, if he was caught driving under the influence, he wouldn’t have failed road sobriety tests.

Now at his own home though, his guard was down. His eyes were glazed and heavy-lidded as he watched her pretty slumbering face as she rested in his arms.

He gently placed his wife on the bed, careful not to wake her up.

She shifted a little in the movement and she opened her eyes a bit. When she saw who was in front of her, she flinched. Althea blinked repeatedly to push down the lethargy, which Garan found very cute.

He smiled as he placed his palm on her shoulder to keep her from sitting up. “My wife,” he said, “You didn’t have to wait for me.”

When he wasn’t on missions, Althea would often fall asleep in the living room while she was waiting for him to go back home. It both touched and broke his heart, and he felt complicated that the habit was carried over in this world.

He looked around the bedroom, realizing it was only them. “Where are the children?”

“The babies are with Sheila,” she said as she patted his hand to let her sit up. Garan saw she was really awake and let her, not expecting her to lift her hand in front of him as soon as she did so.

She took out a box from her space, letting it appear on her hands.

“Gift!” She smiled at him smugly. In Garan’s eyes, she was being seductive and coquettish, making him heat up even more.

“It’s late but, counting months in Terran months, I’m just in time! Happy Anniversarry!” She said, explaining to the somewhat confused Garan.

He smiled, leaning down to kiss her. “Thank you.”

She accepted his peck but she covered her mouth with her palm when he started licking her lips.

“Take a look at it!” She said, pouting. She worked hard for it!

Garan chuckled and did as he was told, opening the box to see a token of sort a few inches in diameter.

It was roughly carved but his instincts told him it was special.

“It’s a tool!” She told him, “I made it myself!”

She excitedly told him of its functions.”This here is a Class E magic tool. With practice I should be able to improve, so bear with this for now.”

“It also has a passive effect of protecting your health to some degree when it’s below 10%!”

His eyes widened as he finally realized what she had been up to.

No wonder her callouses had been getting bigger. While she was treating them with her medicine, Garan knew every inch of her. How could he not notice? At the time, he just thought whatever farming or potion experiment she was doing caused the callouses.

His heart felt full and he immediately leaned down to recapture her lips. He pushed her down the bed, and this time Althea didn’t avoid it.

Garan didn’t forget to place the token in his space of course, intending to cherish it forever.

His kisses were deep from the start, his whole body relishing in her warmth. She wrapped her arms around him, burying her beautiful hands in his hair.

“Thank you, I love it,” he whispered, his hands creeping up to the inside of her nightdress. Althea flushed as she heated up, whimpering when he started to touch her nether regions.

“Hmmm….” she moaned, and Garan ate them up before he started kissing southwards, licking her neck, her collar, and then going down to the valley of her chest.

“Your husband is so happy that he’ll make sure to serve you especially well…” he told her as he completely lifted up her nightdress over her head, diving down to eat her precious mounds.

“Oh~!” Althea gasped, body arched a bit, each lick sending intense sensations down her spine.

Her mouth parted and her dainty fingers buried in her husband’s hair as if to anchor herself down, lest she fly away due to the pleasure.

In any case, spring night was very warm that night.
