Chapter 363: 1 Wall
Only after Catherine left the temple did George's face finally darken.
"Her Highness Catherine... doesn't seem as docile as before." Bishop Quincy said quietly behind him.
"Children are always impatient. She has a lot to learn." George forced a smile, but it couldn't spread to his eyes.
At first I thought this girl was gentle and polite, a qualified lady, but I didn't expect that under that calm appearance, she was full of thorns.
She inherited the annoying traits of both William and Cynthia. She even brought up Tserwini to disgust herself... Ha, William could only have taught her that!
George, with his back to Bishop Quincy, had a look of disgust on his face and an itchy throat. He swallowed his saliva repeatedly, but he couldn't hold it back and began to cough violently.
"Cough cough - cough cough cough -"
He was unsteady and held onto the pedestal of the statue in front of him, coughing violently and extinguishing one of the candles in front of him.
George paused in coughing and felt even more irritated—this was an ominous sign.
"Your Majesty, you are tired. No, it is because Your Highness the Princess has ignited too many dream cardamoms." Bishop Quincy stepped forward to help him, but he was held tightly by his backhand -
"Where's my medicine? Do I have to wait until I lie back down on that damn bed before I get it?" King George's face was full of gloom.
"Your Majesty, if you take more blood from it, it won't survive for more than a few days—"
"Go catch it...go catch it again!"
King George grabbed the bishop's collar and wrinkled his robe.
"Yes, Your Majesty, with the protection of light, everything will be as you wish." Bishop Quincy responded quickly when he saw the king who was somewhat losing his mind.
King George then loosened his hands, and his whole body sank, sliding down along the pedestal and sitting on the ground.
The huge statue was silent, taking in the entire farce of this world.
……
"When are we going to Shadow Rock?" Leila, carrying a greatsword on her back, followed Catherine lacking interest, and were about to leave the temple together.
Many flowers in the temple garden were in full bloom and the scenery was very beautiful, but Leila had no mood to appreciate it.
"It will take some time, sorry." Catherine smiled apologetically at the little knight. She still had a lot of work and courses to finish before she could leave.
"You're going to Shadow Rock?!" The priest leading the way turned his head in surprise. "Your Highness, that place is full of poisonous insects and monsters. It also spans the Gaia Empire and the Mulet Kingdom. There are many... In short, there are no laws or church constraints."
"Thank you for your reminder." Catherine smiled politely at the priest.
But the priest obviously did not realize that the princess did not want to talk more, and still advised with concern: "Our relationship with the Mulet Kingdom is really not good now. It is close to the border. You——"
"Either send an entire Knights of Light to protect the princess, or stop trying to win her favor with just your words. Everyone can say nice things, but it's not that easy to be a good person."
The red-haired knight spoke very rudely.
The priest didn't expect the little girl to speak so bluntly. His face turned red. He finally shut up and concentrated on leading the way, just wanting to finish this embarrassing job as soon as possible.
There was a commotion coming from the other side of the white wall, which was very rare in the usually quiet Temple of Light.
Catherine was a little surprised, but when she thought of the mountain of work to be done, she did not slow down and continued to move forward quickly following the priest's pace.
Leila was full of curiosity. It was unusual to see such a lively scene in the temple, so she caught a god who just walked over and asked, "What's going on over there?"
Shen Da looked at the serious-looking priest in front of her and could only vaguely respond, "It seems like someone is...arguing..."
Leila was getting bored and was about to turn around.
"Leila." It was Catherine who called her from the front.
"Let's go. We still have things to do. Don't you want to meet up with Lilith earlier?" Catherine looked at the playful little girl and smiled helplessly.
"Okay." Leila turned around again, trotted a few steps to catch up with the princess and walked away.
On the other side of the wall, a girl was being held by several people. She kept cursing and shouting:
"Let me go! You hypocritical and disgusting guys! A bunch of deaf and dumb cowards! I want to see my grandfather! I want to see the princess! Uuuuuu——"
Someone stepped forward and covered the mouth of this troublemaker, then retreated screaming in pain. That Shen Da actually bit people!
No, not only that! She began to chant something, the magical elements around her surged, and a light appeared under her feet.
"——She is chanting a spell!" Someone finally noticed.
A white light flashed, and a passing god's favored one took action. Shen Da, who was being held down by several people, fell down softly.
Several people lifted her up and quickly took her out of the garden, heading deep into the back of the temple.
The clergy who were unaware of the truth were quickly dispersed, and the Temple of Light once again returned to its holiness and tranquility.
…………
Lilith rushed forward, sliding down the steep slope, bringing with her a cloud of rubble.
She grabbed onto the dirt and rocks and tried to control her downward movement, but she could still feel the ground rumbling and shaking.
There is something huge and is chasing after me.
Lilith slid down the slope, and without stopping for a moment, she stood up and started running, and only then did she narrowly avoid the spikes coming from behind.
"Tsk, is this the strength of the advanced dungeon area?" Lilith only glanced at it with the corner of her eye and saw the faint green light on the spikes.
She did not dare to be careless at all, and continued to dodge and move, casting spells backwards from time to time to continue to provoke the monster behind her until she led it into the encirclement of her companions.
The crude magic pattern lit up, and the huge monster that looked very much like a porcupine slowed down its movements, but was still extremely angry. White foam came out of its mouth, and it arched its back while howling. Countless spikes turned into flying feathers and stabbed towards everyone!
"Ding ding ding ding--" a series of collision sounds rang out. Lilith's wooden shield was now as hard as gold and stone, and the collision with sharp objects made a metallic sound.
Behind the shield, the students who were already familiar with the monster's attack methods had different thoughts.
"Is this Shadow Locke?" Lulu said in a daze. They have been here for so many days, but those monsters are still popping up one after another. When will it end?
"We really came to the right place, right Bobby!" Lucas looked at the thorns all over the ground - he made a fortune!
“That’s right…” Bobby’s sword blade was a little curled—he wanted to become stronger!
Hiding behind the shield, Lilith accidentally pulled a monster for the third time, panting and falling into deep thought.
"Did I make a mistake before, so my position is Fatan?"
