Sia, initiate the beginner-level lottery."
Taking a deep breath, Blake spoke to Sia with anticipation. The ability to draw items and skills from across the multiverse made this lottery feature one of his favorites.
"Understood. Deducting 30 Luck Points now!"
Sia chirped cheerfully before beginning the process.
There wasn't a spinning wheel or any dramatic effects, just a brief moment before fireworks erupted in Blake's vision. Amidst the sparks appeared two rings, one black and one white.
"Congratulations, Master! You've obtained the equipment [Judgement Ring] Device from the world of Chivalry of a Failed Knight! It's a pretty decent beginner-level item!"
Sia exclaimed in delight.
[Judgement Ring]: The black ring represents Sin, capable of absorbing enemy attacks. The white ring represents Punishment, which releases the absorbed attacks to defeat opponents.
As the item's abilities and related knowledge surfaced in his mind, Blake's lips curved into a faint smile.
Although the original owner of [Judgement Ring] was a villain, its usefulness as a piece of additional equipment couldn't be denied. As Sia had said, it was indeed an excellent beginner-level item.
"Sia, continue the draw."
Taking a deep breath to calm himself, Blake decided to proceed with three more draws.
The first draw yielded a top-grade Body Refinement Pill from a world called Falling Star Immortal Cultivation Realm, a world of immortal cultivation unfamiliar to him. This pill could enhance his physique, improve his foundation, and even increase the capacity of his Aether Energy. According to Sia, this pill was significantly superior to the Judgement Ring rings in terms of value.
However, it seemed that using up his good fortune on powerful items drained his luck. The next two draws yielded a palm-sized blue diamond and a tenfold-concentrated stink bomb, items that were not particularly useful.
Given the outcome, Blake decided to halt the draws for now. Spending 120 luck points on four draws had left him with only 135 remaining.
He chose not to immediately retrieve the items he had drawn. Instead, he instructed Sia to temporarily store them. After all, disturbing the sleeping Airi and Marina would not be ideal.
"Master, Sia suggests you consider leaving this world soon."
At that moment, Sia's voice suddenly rang out, with a hint of hesitation.
"Do you mean staying here would make it difficult to trigger new missions, and remaining here is a waste of time?"
Blake's crystal-blue eyes flickered slightly as he deduced Sia's unsaid meaning. He wasn't lacking in intelligence; in fact, he was highly perceptive, making it easy to arrive at such a conclusion.
"Yes, precisely. Time in the main world of High School DxD continues to flow even while you're in this world. A week here would mean a day passing in that world."
Sia's explanation was clear and delivered in her usual sweet tone.
"I see."
Hearing this, Blake narrowed his crystal-blue eyes slightly, his thoughts briefly dwelling on the issue of time flow.
"I understand. I'll leave in a week. For now, I want to spend some time here. Leaving immediately after gaining Airi and Marinna's trust and affection would make me feel like too much of a scoundrel."
Exhaling softly, Blake sounded somewhat resigned. He understood that becoming stronger and venturing into higher-level worlds for experience was essential for his growth.
"Master, there's no need to worry about that. For just 30 luck points, you can adjust the flow of time so that no matter how long you spend in another world, only a week would pass in this one."
Sia's clarification brought Blake great relief, and he finally relaxed. This mode of travel between worlds was quite favorable. At the very least, it ensured that upon returning, things would not have drastically changed or been lost to the passage of years.
"Sia, thank you for explaining. Goodnight."
Feeling at ease, Blake closed his eyes. The day had been full of significant events and was quite exhausting.
"Goodnight."
As Sia's sweet voice faded, the room was left in silence, broken only by the ticking clock and the soft breathing of three sleeping individuals.
