Full-Time Magister: Dark Lord

Cao Le still misses Xin Xia quite a bit.

I miss her sweet and adorable nature, I miss her obedience~

But just as he was about to catch up with Xin Xia, a man suddenly tried to stop him.

That's just asking for a beating!

"Damn it, I, Kuren, the guardian knight of the Parthenon Temple, will not allow you to insult the nuns of the Temple of the Goddess to whom I owe my allegiance! I will... uh..." Before the knight could finish his boastful words, Cao Le's silver power grabbed his neck and tossed him away.

Although in Parthenon, knights are responsible for protecting the people of the Temple of the Goddess, it doesn't mean they don't have other ideas.

After all, what knight doesn't love a princess?

However, just like in fairy tales, knights can only protect princesses, but princesses will always marry princes.

Even so, liking it is not an option.

"Cao Le~"

Seeing him simply toss the knight aside, Xinxia felt a wave of helplessness...

The people behind Cao Le were all dumbfounded...

After all, he was a knight of Parthenon!

Is this something you can easily pick up and use?

"Kullen, please don't be angry, he... he's my boyfriend." To avoid making things worse, Xinxia admitted it directly.

The knight was completely dumbfounded...

He didn't know what to say.

Although Xinxia is currently only an intern at the Goddess Palace, she will definitely be able to become a full-fledged member after this mission is successfully completed.

She has the potential to become a candidate for goddess in the future.

But suddenly you have a man in your life...

That will reduce the number of knights who follow you!

"Humph..."

However, he wasn't looking for trouble, after all, it was just that one contact.

The knight realized that he was no match for Cao Le.

Judging from the fact that he was thrown out unscathed, if he knew that the other party had held back, he wouldn't deserve to be a knight.

Mu Ningxue also came over at this time.

"Xinxia...long time no see."

"Yes, it's been a long time."

The two were acquaintances and had topics they wanted to discuss, so they simply left Cao Le aside...

"Hey, Cao Le, Jiang Tizi just left looking a little sad," Zhao Manyan said, seizing the opportunity to remind him.

"Never mind, let her be."

"Tsk tsk... You two lovebirds have been showing off like this the whole way, but I didn't expect this to be the end. Sure enough, those who show off their love break up quickly," Zhao Manyan muttered.

“We’ve always been friends,” Cao Le replied.

Zhao Manyan paused for a moment, then mouthed the five words "Cao Le"...

Still friends?

Zhao Manyan isn't stupid!

Xin Xia had a heavy task, and she was called away after only a short while.

At this time, the Nationalist team members also arrived at the designated assembly point.

Mu Ningxue looked at Cao Le and said, "I was just chatting with Xin Xia, and I found out... her promotion went way too smoothly."

"Not bad, you can even see that?" Cao Le was a little surprised.

After learning about Xin Xia's situation, Mu Ningxue didn't think about how fast the little girl was growing, but immediately noticed the speed of her advancement.

"How do you know that?" Mu Ningxue was a little confused after hearing Cao Le's words.

I always feel...

Cao Le seemed to know everything...

"Be confident, remove the 'again' part."

"..."

Mu Ningxue remained silent, waiting for Cao Le's response.

Cao Le just stared at her blankly.

What are you doing...?

"Dry."

"Let's get down to business..."

Mu Ningxue was quite troubled by Cao Le's behavior. She felt it was a miracle if he could be serious for even a minute.

“Xinxia’s trip to Parthenon was all just a conspiracy,” Cao Le said bluntly.

"what?"

After a moment of silence, Mu Ningxue asked again, "Then why did you let her go?"

"Each of us has things we have to face. Even if you want to escape, you will eventually find that what you are meant to encounter, you cannot escape."

"Moreover, Xin Xia's identity is somewhat special. From the moment she was born, she was already caught in a vortex of scheming."

"It's not a bad thing to grow up quickly in this kind of environment..."

These are things he might not be able to say to others, but he can say them to this woman without worry.

It's always hard to keep everything bottled up inside.

Mu Ningxue stared at Cao Le in surprise, and after a moment of digestion, she couldn't help but ask again, "How exactly do you know all this?"

This is absolutely outrageous...

"I told you I had a very long dream about you, Xin Xia... and even many other people. I have a vague understanding of it. Do you believe me?" Cao Le said, half-jokingly.

"Do not believe."

Mu Ningxue naturally didn't believe such a mysterious thing.

"Well, you see, I told you but you didn't believe me. Just consider it as me having some source information," Cao Le said with a shrug.

In this world, it is indeed difficult to convince people of the truth.

Hey~

There's nothing I can do about it...

After chatting for a while, the two returned to their group.

This training exercise involved helping the Egyptian army deal with a group of mummies. The Egyptian army was responsible for charging and advancing into the enemy lines, a task that ordinary troops couldn't handle. Given their severe manpower shortage, they had no choice but to request outside assistance.

And so, the Chinese National Team was honored to receive this task...

...

232. Were we sold?

After the tasks were assigned, everyone went their separate ways.

Cao Le wanted to reminisce with Xin Xia about the past, but Xin Xia was simply too busy...

There wasn't even time to take off my coat before I had to go for treatment.

Fortunately, even if Xin Xia isn't around, there's still Mu Ningxue.

From that day on, Cao Le became increasingly demanding...

Even tonight, he used the excuse that this place was unsafe to ensure Mu Ningxue had a peaceful night...

The next day...

Just as dawn broke, a large force was already gathering in the western part of the city, mainly composed of government army mages.

Many people came to see him off.

This is a war, and barring any unforeseen circumstances, there will inevitably be heavy casualties.

But everyone knows that to save the city, the pyramids must be destroyed, and casualties are inevitable when the pyramids are destroyed.

Cao Le and the others naturally followed at the front of the group, where they met Staff Officer Fenner.

This is a middle-aged woman.

However, she possessed absolutely no femininity...

"You can just follow the group. The Poison Gold Mummy is your responsibility," Advisor Fenner said bluntly without any formalities.

"Are we here to help, or were we sold here?" Cao Le asked.

Ai Jiangtu and Nan Jue looked at Cao Le with confusion.

"She acts like she's giving orders, as if we owe her something. Doesn't she know she should be more polite?"

"Perhaps it's because the damage caused by the pyramids here was too severe, that's why it's like this?" Nan Jue explained.

"Anyway, we're just doing this for experience, so we'll do what we can," Ai Jiangtu added.

"Since you both say so, then let's do it this way."

With a command from Staff Officer Fenner, the entire team began to move forward. The road had been cleared, and there were not as many undead as before. The team arrived at the camp five kilometers away without any problems.

Upon arriving here, Fenner sent the National Guard team to deal with the Poison Gold Mummy.

Because this was a war, not a series of individual battles, Nan Jue explained the situation of these poisonous golden mummies to the group before setting off. He also solemnly stated that their only responsibility was to activate the barrier, after which they would withdraw.

Although the group didn't seem to care much, they said it was fine.
