Thanks for the invitation, I am in the state of collapse, brushing attribute upgrade

At least, his strength is unquestionable.

Even if he gives his all, his individual combat capability is still enough to rank among the top five, or even the top three in the world.

It’s still too early for you to challenge him now…”

Otto spoke these words very seriously, and even used Yu Duchen to shock Gwyn's spirit, hoping that he could take these words to heart.

Otto had once become estranged from Kallen because of his self-righteousness, and even led to Kallen's death. Otto didn't want Gwyn to make the same mistake as himself.

Even though Gwen wanted to complain about Otto's shamelessness, after hearing the earnest advice, he put that thought aside and nodded solemnly:

"Well, I will continue to work hard and strive to defeat him head-on as soon as possible and regain the Holy Judgment of Heavenly Fire for Tianming."

Gwyn, who clearly remembered how annoyed Otto was with Siegfried's self-willed behavior during the Second Collapse, naturally didn't mind showing his loyalty—

Anyway, in terms of current investment and effort, Otto is indeed worthy of Gwyn's loyalty.

Unfortunately……

"Well, I believe you can do it."

Otto smiled and nodded, his face full of relief, but he still corrected,

“But it’s not for destiny.

After all, the Holy Judge of Heavenly Fire is the symbol of the Kaslana family patriarch."

Looking at Otto like this, Gwen couldn't help but feel a complex emotion in his heart -

If Gwyn did not know that the Archbishop of Destiny, who had a warm smile and gentle manner, and seemed like a boss who only existed in legends, was actually a madman whose only thought was about Kallen, who had died five hundred years ago, he would probably have been attracted by his personal charm.

Otto didn't say much. After chatting with Gwyn for a while, he chose to leave first.

After a while, accompanied by the sound of brisk footsteps, Youlan Dale pushed the door open and walked in. Seeing that Gwen had packed his things and was sitting on the bed waiting for him, he greeted him with a smile:

"Gwen, I'm here to pick you up. Are you all packed?"

"of course."

Seeing Youlan Dale coming, Gwen, who was sitting on the bed, stood up, put his bag on his back, and said with a smile,

"My injuries have healed completely, and I have nothing to do anyway, so I might as well pack up my things."

"Well, now that everything is packed, let's go."

The first thing he did after returning to the headquarters was to visit Gwyn. Of course, Yulan Dale knew Gwyn's situation, so he didn't say much and just greeted him with a smile.

"Rita has prepared a sumptuous meal to welcome you out of the hospital."

"If you say so, I'll wait and see."

Hearing this, Gwen's smile widened.

"Let's go quickly. Maybe we can help if we go back earlier."

"Let's go..."

The two people, who had grown a lot taller, walked out of the ward one after the other, just like before.

But compared to last year, the two can now walk side by side. The bag that was too much for Gwyn to bear last year and required Yorlandel's help to carry is now just a casual carry for Gwyn.

"Come to think of it, when I was discharged from the hospital last year and you came to pick me up, Bianca, the weather seemed to be the same as today..."

Walking quickly on the way home, Gwyn and Yulandel chatted casually.

"Yes, the sun is just as bright and the sky is just as clear.

It seems like you’ve just been discharged from the hospital…”

Hearing this, Youlan Dell looked up at the cloudless sky, the smile on his lips became warmer. Recalling the scene of last year, he raised his hand and gestured, saying with emotion,

"Time flies so fast. In the blink of an eye, more than a year has passed..."

"After all, we all live very fulfilling lives, so it's normal not to feel the passage of time."

Gwen said with a smile, looking at the height that Yulandel gestured, raised his hand and pressed her hand down.

"I wasn't this tall last year. I should be a little shorter."

"Eh?

But I remember you came to my place last year..."

Yu Lan Dale blinked, revealing a bit of doubt.

"Don't forget you've grown taller too..."

Seeing such an expression on Yulan Dale's heroic face, Gwen's smile became even wider and he said jokingly,

"My mind is sharp when I'm doing the test, but why do I lose it in real life?"

"So, it seems I should pay attention to this..."

Upon hearing this, Yulan Del was not dissatisfied, but instead began to reflect on what Gwyn said.

"..."

Looking at such a serious Yulandel, Gwyn was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter, which made Yulandel a little confused.

Chapter 65 Rita: I hope everyone is okay

After accidentally teasing Yulandel on the way, Gwyn returned home and could smell the alluring fragrance in the air before he even entered the door.

"Rita, we're back!"

Pushing open the door, Yu Lan Dale spoke loudly and walked towards the kitchen to see if there was any way he could help.

Although he did not like Rita addressing him as "Sir", but knowing that this was Rita's hobby, Yulan Dell still accepted Rita's title and service.

However, despite this, Yulan Dell always thought about helping Rita and was not "corrupted" by Rita.

As for Gwen, after putting his bag back in the bedroom, he came out and looked again, only to see that the table was almost full.

"Hurry up and wash your hands and get ready for dinner. Rita has already prepared the dishes."

Yu Lan Dale, who was bringing two plates to the table, greeted.

"It seems that if we had come back a little later, a sumptuous meal would have been waiting for us."

Gwen nodded and said with a smile.

"It is the maid's duty to serve a perfectly prepared and sumptuous meal when the master returns home."

Hearing Gwen's words, Rita, who was wiping her hands, said with a smile,

"If possible, Rita still hopes to serve the feast we've prepared for you two when you return home."

“It is indeed a happy thing to be able to enjoy a delicious meal as soon as you get home.

But since we're at home, wouldn't it be more delicious if everyone worked together to prepare the meal? "

Hearing this, Gwen, who had already turned on the faucet, letting the rushing water splash on his hands, bringing a cool feeling, asked with a smile.

"Gwyn is right, Rita!"

Upon hearing this, Youlan Dell immediately agreed.

"Even though we're both terrible cooks, being involved, even if we're just helping out, feels different than just sitting back and enjoying the fruits of others' labor."

"Well……"

Rita seemed a little reluctant when she heard this, but when she met Youlan Dell's eager gaze, she sighed softly.

"Since Lord Ulandel and Lord Gwyn insist on doing so, then Rita can only respectfully obey their orders."

"hey-hey……"

Seeing Rita agreed, Yulan Dell immediately showed a happy smile, which made Rita's smile even softer.

On the contrary, Gwen felt that there seemed to be something more in Rita's gaze towards him——

"Sure enough, although Gwen's personality hasn't changed much since he grew up, he's still not as cute as he was last year..."

Looking at Gwyn, who had grown rapidly in the past year and now looked like he was the same age as her, Rita sighed in her heart, but there was no regret in her eyes.

Although Rita prefers cute children, as the first person to notice the similarities between Gwyn's appearance and that of a certain archbishop, coupled with Gwyn's unusual treatment, the meticulous Rita easily judged that there might be a huge plan around Gwyn, who was rescued by her and Orandel from the Quantum Sea.

In this regard, Rita, knowing that her weight was insignificant in the eyes of her own archbishop, could only silently give Gwyn some help.

Fortunately, Gwyn did not disappoint Rita and had the hard work and talent comparable to Yulandel.

In Rita's opinion, such a Gwen may have hope for a better tomorrow.

At least, that's what Rita sincerely hoped.

Although Rita prepared a table full of food, it would not be a problem for the three of them.

After all, with Gwyn and Ullandel, two big eaters, one big and one small, this amount of food is not a problem at all.

During the banquet, Gwen suddenly felt as if someone was missing, and asked Rita:

"By the way, Rita, why didn't Anna come today?

Have you gone on a mission?"

"No, Anna told me yesterday that she was going home. Maybe something happened at home and she was delayed."

Hearing Gwen's question, Rita shook her head slightly and answered with a smile.

Anna's existence is also one of the reasons why Rita believes that Gwen can have a bright future——

If Gwyn was really just a discarded pawn in future plans, then Otto should not have deliberately allowed Anna, the most outstanding contemporary successor of Shaniad, one of the three great families, to contact him.

Rita thought so, but she ignored that she was the one closest to the S-rank of the new era in her destiny...

That night, someone suddenly rang the doorbell of Gwen's house.

Gwen opened the door and looked, and couldn't help but said in surprise:

"Sister Amber?"

Over the past year, similar encounters in restaurants happened more than once.

Although Gwyn suspected that Otto was behind this, he did not develop any unnecessary aversion or vigilance towards Amber.

In Gwen's impression, Amber didn't have that many thoughts and was quite straightforward. She just wasn't as favored as Theresa, so she seemed more serious.

Moreover, his growing strength made Gwyn more confident, and his keen mind did not detect any malice from Amber, so Gwyn regarded it as a normal encounter.

After all, Amber has almost always lived on the floating island, so it is normal for Gwyn to meet her a few times.

The relationship between the two became increasingly familiar. Although it was not as close as that between Gwyn and Ulander, they could be considered friends.

"I'm sorry to bother you so late, Gwen."

When she met Gwyn, Amber did not act too familiar and looked very businesslike.

"Don't say such polite words. If you have anything to say, come in first and talk about it."

Knowing that Amber was not pretending but that was just her character, Gwyn sighed lightly, made way, and invited Amber into the house.

Even though the relationship between the two was already very good, Amber still sat upright, put the small box in her hand on the table, and opened it for Gwen to see -

"Gwen, this is your promotion to A-rank, and it also includes the commendation for your victory in annihilating Ganesha..."

Amber sat upright and introduced the things she brought to Gwyn in a serious manner, making the atmosphere of the two single men and women in the same room seem unusually serious.

After completing the introduction and helping Gwyn increase his authority, Amber did not say goodbye and leave immediately like last time. Instead, she took out a key from the pocket of her nun's uniform and handed it to Gwyn.

"This is?"

He took the key from Amber's hand. Although it was well maintained, it still showed signs of time. He played with it for a while, and when he saw that Amber didn't speak directly, he asked.

Amber's eyes unconsciously lingered on the key that still carried her body temperature. She instantly came back to her senses, straightened her already upright sitting posture, and said seriously:

"Here are the keys which the Bishop has given me to give you, and to tell you to come to this address in three days.
