Knight Asylum

After Red's repeated requests, Qiao finally agreed to Red's request.

"Ah? How could Qiao be a man?"

"A woman dressed as a man? Huh?"

"Well - Qiao's outfit is indeed somewhat androgynous, but you can tell at a glance that she is a woman."

After asking around, everyone gave Red the same answer: they never thought that Qiao was a man.

That is to say...

"Is it just me!?"

Red held his head in his hands with a look of disbelief. Qiao, who was standing behind Red, couldn't help but hold her forehead with her hand. At this point, her anger turned into speechlessness.

"No, no, no, wait a minute, if you're not disguised as a man, then why didn't you have any objection when I moved into your dorm?" Reid noticed the blind spot.

It was because Qiao had no reaction to his moving in that he chose to ignore the suspicious parts and concluded that Qiao was a man.

"Ah? I have an opinion. You knew I was a woman, but you moved in so straightforwardly. I just thought you were an honest guy, so I didn't have any opinion. Ah, yes! So that's what happened. Did you move in so foolishly because you thought I was a man?!"

Under Qiao's condemnation, Red gradually shrank.

"Yes, I'm sorry..."

"Ha - this is unbelievable," Qiao raised her hand and patted her forehead. She subconsciously glanced at her reflection in the glass and couldn't help muttering.

"It's not like a woman dressed as a man. Do you have to wear a skirt to do that?"

"You planning on wearing a skirt?"

"Ah? What are you fantasizing about? I won't wear that kind of fluttery clothes." Qiao pinched Red's face and pulled it hard, "So? You disturbed my precious sleep time just to talk about this?!"

"cough!"

"..."

"sorry."

After staring at Reid for a long while, Qiao let out a long breath, waved his hand, turned around and sat back on the sofa, crossing his legs.

"So? What made you decide to be honest with me?"

"Well..."

Red walked hesitantly to the opposite side of Qiao. Just as he was about to sit down, Qiao made an unhappy sound. Red was stunned and looked up subconsciously. Qiao was not sitting in the middle of the sofa, but on the right side, which was considered a seat deliberately left empty.

Who is this position vacated for?

It's me.

In order not to appear awkward sitting over, Red chose to do a somersault.

"Are you an idiot?" Qiao's mouth twitched slightly.

"Well, nine times out of ten, that's right," Red scratched his face, and after staring at Qiao's profile for a while, a strange idea suddenly came to his mind. Without thinking too much, Red leaned over to Qiao's neck and sniffed.

The familiar smell of lavender.

"What are you doing?" Qiao didn't dodge, but just raised his eyebrows.

"I was wondering if you would beat me if I licked it," Red asked seriously, staring at Qiao's white neck.

"Ah? Why do you ask such a boring question?"

"—"

"boom--"

On the street, Medusa, wearing a doll costume, was in front, and Red, covering his face, was behind.

"Well, generally speaking, doesn't that mean it's okay?" Redra, who was covering his still smoking face, said in a long voice, "Medusa, what do you think?"

"Don't talk to me casually! We are not that familiar with each other!"

Medusa, who had been trying hard to pretend that she didn't know Red, couldn't hold it in anymore and turned around to complain loudly.

Passersby on the road turned their heads to look at Red and Medusa. Although Medusa was wearing doll costumes, she still felt hot on her face. She turned around angrily and continued walking forward.

"envy?"

"That's weird!"

"It's just a joke," Red quickly caught up with Medusa and put his hands around her neck.

To outsiders, it might be a harmonious picture of humans and mascots, but Medusa felt her scalp tingling, because she felt that there was no difference between wearing a doll costume and being naked.

Walking naked on the street was already the extreme for her, and now she had to be arm in arm with Red.

wanna die……

However, if she pushed Red's hand away at this time, she would most likely be kept in the office as a mascot.

She didn't mind being left behind, but she couldn't turn a blind eye to the crisis the Sage was facing.

That’s right, everything is for the sage!

Medusa relaxed her body and let Reid hold her neck and move forward.

Chapter 598: The Shadow Under the Church

St. Louis Church.

"Oh, I really miss it."

Red put one hand on his waist, looked up and down at the St. Louis Church in front of him, which had been abandoned for some time, and sighed.

"Have you been here?" Medusa frowned.

This is one of the secret bases of the phantom demons, and a magic barrier has been set up. Only the phantom demons and a small number of collaborators can come here.

"Ah, that happened in the previous timeline. I knew the coordinates because of a Gurongi in the timeline before that. So I came here at the beginning of the previous timeline to wipe out all of you phantom demons."

Reid said casually.

"I was originally planning to take you down in this timeline, but something happened and I had to put it on hold. I thought it was almost time to send you away, but you came here on your own accord. Congratulations."

Medusa felt a chill rushing to the back of her head.

Although she didn't know what the timeline was, she was sure of one thing: if she hadn't brought the Phantom Demon to attack the Zhinao Group Building, she might have been awakened by a nuclear explosion one day and would never wake up again.

and many more……

Is it possible?

The sage had anticipated all of this, so he used this method to preserve the Phantom Demon's combat power? !

Medusa's pupils shrank sharply and she began to imagine endlessly.

"Although I don't know how far you have imagined it, this is not what the sage expected—"

Red let go of his senses.

Three, no, four guys, three of them are ancient magicians, and the other one... is not a living being.

"Your attack on the Zhinao Group Building is a waste of money. Your real purpose is to let the magicians of the Sage Tower destroy the Zhinao Group Building and take away the resurrection surgery technology."

"impossible!"

Without even a second's hesitation, Medusa immediately denied Red's statement.

"The Sage's Tower is the enemy of us Phantom Demons! Every time a magician is born, it means one less of our compatriots! This is especially true for the ancient magicians, who feed on us Phantom Demons!"

"Well, that's why no one would suspect that there is a connection between the Tower of Sages and the Phantom Demon," Reid sat on the wall, took out the remote control and pressed it in the direction of Medusa.

The holographic image inside the headset formed a picture in front of Medusa of what happened in the building on the day when their phantom demons attacked the Zhinao Group Building.

“Great sacrifices often come with great rewards.”

"No matter what your sage says, he won't put almost all his phantoms on the line just to kill a few ancient magicians with the help of Odin," Red played with the remote control in his hand, "but if it's a resurrection operation..."

"Shut up! The Sage is the oldest phantom demon! He doesn't need a resurrection operation! This video... Oh, right! You must have photoshopped it!"

"Sorry, surveillance cannot be P."

"Why, why is this..."

Medusa staggered back a few steps and collapsed on the ground.

"Why do you have to say such excessive words? I have already promised you that I can do anything..."

"Of course it's for—"

Red turned his head, and the stone rain brushed his hair and poured into the ground fiercely, and the flying dust covered Medusa.

Red leaped forward lightly and planted his right foot.

"it hurts--"

The desolate scream brought Medusa back to her senses. She looked down subconsciously and saw a magic circle appeared at her feet. A left hand wearing a magic ring stretched out as if to drag her away, but Reid simply stepped on it to the ground.

"Don't be so reserved—"

Reed bent down and grabbed the opponent's arm. Just as he was about to drag him out, the magic circle instantly closed. Reed only lifted one arm, and this arm turned into a pile of mud in the blink of an eye.

"That's really a trick."

Red shook off the dirt in his hands and looked at Medusa.

"You saw it too."

"What did you see?"

"Of course it's to prevent you from leaking the secret and then killing people to silence them," Red spread his hands.

The Tower of Sages is also in the Constellation District, so when he was in the Constellation District, he could not be sure whether there were any magicians keeping an eye on Medusa, the loyal phantom who usually conveyed the will of the sage.

So this time he deliberately brought Medusa out and brought her to the St. Louis Church, which was used as the base of the phantom demon in the past.

The effect is excellent.

In the eyes of some people, as the spokesperson of the sage, Medusa finally couldn't stand the torture, bowed her head to Servius Tullia, and brought him to this stronghold.

If Medusa really didn't know any important information, there wouldn't be this tentative assassination.

"That's great, Medusa. It seems that you know some very important secrets for the sages and the Tower of Sages," Reid squatted in front of Medusa and smiled brightly.

"Can you tell me?"

"I won't... tell you. I swore that I would protect this secret with my life," Medusa bit her lip and turned her face away.

"It seems like you really know something," Red raised his hand and patted Medusa on the shoulder, "But it seems that it is not a particularly important secret for the sage. When he found that he couldn't deal with you, he turned around and ran away."

"Gu--Kill, kill me."

"Oh, your loyalty is really touching."

Red reached out and lifted up Medusa's hood. The warm sunlight flowed along Red's face into the dark hood and illuminated Medusa's eyes.

"I was going to help you."

"You just want to use me." Unconsciously, the sage was placed on the side of the exploiter in Medusa's mind.

"That's true, but I can give you the opportunity to use me." Red tilted his head and thought for a while before raising his finger. "If you can do it, I can do anything for you."

"Anything... is fine. Do you think I'm an idiot?"

"At least, not to the level of a sage."

"Goo-"

"How about it?"

Red stood up, turned his back to the sun, and stretched out his right hand towards Medusa.

"I will...not betray, Sage."

"That's right, don't betray the sage in your heart. As for those sages who talk to themselves and get in the way..."

Reid's brilliant smile was reflected in Medusa's slowly widening eyes.

"Do you need it?"

"I……"

Medusa subconsciously stretched out her right hand towards the light, and then a huge but not at all violent force pulled her out of the darkness.

"unnecessary……"
