Their commission was suspicious.

After Durandal agreed, the Herrscher of Knowledge led Durandal, who had come to visit, up to the second floor.

There's a bookshelf there, where photos and important books are usually kept.

Seeing that the Herrscher of Knowledge had been distracted, Chen Luo, who had been hiding in the shadows, breathed a sigh of relief.

Chen Luo then felt the high-value items that had been thrown into a river somewhere in Xinghai City disappear from the spot.

It's almost time for the agreed-upon meeting.

"Look, isn't this a picture of little Luo Luo? Isn't she cute?"

“Indeed.” Durandal nodded as she looked at the adorable baby in the photo.

"And him..." The Herrscher of Knowledge laughed and introduced Durandal to something interesting, but as soon as she turned the page, a photo slipped out of the album.

"Hmm?" Durandal reached out uncertainly towards the photo that had just slipped down.

In that fleeting glimpse, Durandal seemed to have discovered what she longed for.

When Durandal held the photograph in her hands, she confirmed the matter.

This is really my own photo.

And it's a photo of myself when I was a child.

"Xiao Shi, what is this?" Durandal asked after hesitating for a moment.

"Oh, your photo?"

"I know this is my photo, but why is it here? Why was it added to Alo's album?"

“It must have been Xiao You who did it,” the Herald of Knowledge replied after a moment’s thought.

"Little You, it feels like you're back to normal now." Yulandel's furrowed brows were smoothed out.

If it's Xiaoyou, then there's really no problem.

"But where did Xiao You get this photo?" Yulandel asked curiously.

"You mean this? Chen Luo has a photo album of yours."

"Ok?"

"A Luo often used photos from the photo album to blackmail Xiao You into using it as a pillow when he slept. If I remember correctly, the photo album of you that A Luo had seemed to be updated in real time. At least that's how it was when I saw that photo album a while ago. It had pictures from when you were just born to when you were blown up by Chen Luo's insane modified thermobaric bomb and questioned your existence." Xiao Shi said innocently.

"???"

“That’s right, there are all kinds of photos.” Xiao Shi winked at Durandal.

Why is it that those who betray you are always the people you know best?

Chen Luo provided Fu Hua with a feather duster to beat up Xiao Shi, as well as a divine assist.

And now, Xiao Shi has also given Chen Luo a divine assist.

"Crack!" Durandal, her expressionless face revealing no emotion, snapped a table in half.

"What's wrong? What's wrong? Are you angry? Do you need me to help you get revenge on Alo?" The Herrscher of Knowledge asked as she approached.

"...Xiao Shi, you are quite knowledgeable about Eastern culture, right?" Durandal suddenly asked.

“That’s right. In ancient times, someone like A Luo, who keeps private photos of innocent members of the opposite sex, would have been punished by being drowned in a pig cage.” The Lawbringer nodded.

"...In that case, do you know how to weave pig cages?" Durandal asked the Herrscher of Knowledge.

“This… I really don’t know how, but you can have Alo make a pig cage for you. He’ll do it as long as you issue the commission, even if the pig cage is meant to tie him up,” said the Herrscher of Knowledge.

"Understood," Durandal nodded.

"But according to ancient customs, wouldn't a woman who has been seen naked be required to repay the favor with her body? I once read a novel that said something like: 'My veil has been removed, and you have seen my true face, so you must marry me,'" Durandal asked the Herrscher of Knowledge again.

"???" The Herrscher of Knowledge's pupils slowly dilated, as if she had been subjected to some extremely violent shock.

Durandal, do you want to hear what you're saying?

Offering yourself in return?

"No! No! Such an ancient tradition is outdated and outdated. Besides, the idea of ​​repaying someone with one's body is only used when the other person saves your life." The Herald of Knowledge shook his head frantically.

"But isn't drowning in a pig cage an ancient tradition in China? And Chen Luo did save me, after all."

"No, no, no, absolutely not! Can you not be so rigid? Just because he saved you doesn't mean you have to repay him with your body. Do you even have feelings for him?" The Herald of Knowledge was getting impatient.

"Yes, there is." Durandal nodded.

"!!!" The Herald of Knowledge was speechless for a moment.

“Alo and I are practically brothers in arms, and he even helped me revive my mother. He was also willing to call me here to share more of the story with me. I just saw the story Alo wanted to show me; he seems to be thinking of helping me fix the world bubble inside my body onto the Imaginary Tree. With so many events contributing to this, it’s impossible not to feel good about him,” Durandal continued.

"And the other person is the only male of the same age that I know well..."

"Durandal, stop talking, let's fight." After a moment of silence, the Herrscher of Knowledge suddenly said seriously.

"Huh?" Durandal was taken aback.

Was it that sudden?

"Um, I was just joking, Xiao Shi, did you really take it seriously?" Durandal asked tentatively.

"Of course... wait, what did you say? Are you kidding me?" The Herrscher of Knowledge looked at Durandal in disbelief.

You, with your thick eyebrows and big eyes, can actually make jokes?

"Doesn't it look like it?" Durandal asked, somewhat puzzled.

Isn't that how jokes are made?

“I know your relationship quite well. If that so-called photo album that Alo has really contained photos that are too explicit, you would never have told me. So I was just joking earlier,” Durandal explained.

"Phew, that scared me to death. So, all that talk about offering yourself was just a joke, right?" The Herrscher of Knowledge breathed a sigh of relief.

These days, it's not that honest people don't talk, it's that they suddenly start joking.

It's really terrifying.

"No, it was just a joke at first, but thinking about it carefully, it seems like Aro is the only guy my age I know. If the Honkai can really be eradicated in the future, I'll live a normal life. Normal dating, marriage and children... Come to think of it, Aro does seem like a pretty good match..."

If necessary, she (Durandal) will consider how to live after the Honkai are destroyed.

Durandal felt that after Chen Luo's intrusion, eliminating the Honkai was not an impossible task in the near future.

"Haha... Durandal, you're joking again, aren't you? Let me tell you, you can't make the same joke twice, or some people might take it seriously." The Herrscher of Knowledge said helplessly to Durandal.

Durandal, as expected of a Valkyrie known for her straightforwardness, is quite easily fooled and may not understand the meaning of jokes very well.

Those who understand the rules will not laugh at others.

"Huh? Was I just joking...?" Durandal tilted her head.

"...Hey, Durandal, you're kidding, right?"

Suddenly sensing something was amiss, the Herald of Knowledge asked weakly.

Durandal looked intently at the Herrscher of Knowledge, and said nothing more.

"..."

Chapter 758 The "Knight" Who Inherited the Name of Astolfo

"Achoo!"

"Hmm, I don't know why, but I have a bad feeling about this." Chen Luo, who had just come out of the river, looked at the bright sun in the sky, but felt a chill.

"Hmm? A life destined for romance?" Chen Luo, who had done a quick calculation using the Hetu Luoshu, looked at the divination results with some astonishment.

"What's wrong, Your Excellency River God?" the Cardinal asked.

This bishop, being on the same side as Yvette, is far too eager to save her.

"It's alright, don't worry about me. Has that angel arrived yet?" Chen Luo looked around and only saw an unfamiliar blond youth, who was currently wearing armor.

“That angel didn’t come. This is another S-rank talent from our church, a knight who inherited the name Astolfo.” The bishop introduced the person behind him to Chen Luo.

"Who? Astolfo?" Chen Luo's voice was slightly distorted.

That's Astolfo...

Sorry, maybe I've been watching too much fat, but Chen Luo has a slight "prejudice" against the knight Astolfo. It's not that he has a bad one, but rather that Astolfo's character is really impressive.

And upon closer inspection, you'll find that this knight who inherited the name Astolfo does indeed have a somewhat delicate appearance.

If she wore women's clothing, she would probably look really good.

Lost in thought, Chen Luo subconsciously took a step back.

Terrifying! Absolutely terrifying!

This person must have some special, permanent passive talent.

For example, when others learn the other person's name, they might think of special talents such as cross-dressing.

"..." Upon seeing Chen Luo's actions, Astolfo, clad in armor, helplessly covered his face.

Damn Higashide!

Damn Fate

Despite being a legendary figure, Astolfo was one of Charman's Twelve Warriors, on par with Roland, and a truly admirable warrior.

However, apart from the locals in the West, other countries don't know much about those warriors.

The name Astolfo is most widely accepted in the West, while people in the East may not be very familiar with it, especially after the Type-Moon universe released a replica of Astolfo, which made people even more excited.

Most importantly... as an S-class talent, Astolfo's talent is indeed somewhat similar to that of the cross-dressing master.

After all, in the original mythological history, Astolfo did indeed dress as a woman.

But I deliberately wore a magnificent suit of armor to conceal this fact.

Besides, you're the River God! How can you be like those ordinary, shallow people who, upon hearing your name, immediately think of women's clothing?

Although Chen Luo didn't say it, Astolfo could tell.

"Ahem. Sorry for being a bit rude. You must be the famous Astolfo."

“Your Excellency River God, please don’t stand on ceremony. And please don’t use honorifics. Just call me Knight; I don’t usually leave the church in that capacity,” Astolfo said.

I can't take it.

Thank you so much.

"It is precisely because we have a knight who inherited the name of Astolfo that we have this knight to provide support. Combined with my own forces and the Church's existing forces in Xinghai City, that is sufficient. Any more would be unnecessary. Therefore, the angel did not come; he is currently protecting His Holiness the Pope," the bishop explained.

"Oh, I understand." Chen Luo nodded.

I don't believe you for a second; you're a wicked old man.

So you think my Hetu and Luoshu are just decorations?

But whatever, what the other party does has nothing to do with Chen Luo.

As long as it's not an attack on mainland China, there's no problem.

Chen Luo did not place himself in a superior position, such as being the only person who could travel between the celestial and mortal realms, or acting as a neutral judge who supported the entire world.

Chen Luo still harbors the idea of ​​protecting China.

It's just that Chen Luo can't stay in the main world all the time.

"That angel really had a tough time." Chen Luo gave the bishop a deep look, then gently tapped the tortoise shell (Luo Shu) on his left hand.

Upon seeing Chen Luo's actions and hearing his meaningful tone, the bishop knew he might have been exposed, but it didn't matter.

Since the other party hasn't pointed it out, it means they don't care.

"Lord River God, how have your discussions with the master of the Heavenly Prison gone?"

"After discussing it, he has agreed to temporarily relocate the prison to another location," Chen Luo said.

That's wonderful.

“He just told me to move it myself,” Chen Luo said.

"What does it mean?"
