Mythology Rebooted-Chapter 635 - 264

"What does it mean for Veronica to put on armor?"

Wayne wondered, tilting his head. If the Valkyrie agreed, the knight apprentice, Veronica, could indeed put on the armor, but the actual combat effectiveness would be a concern—a standard calculation of 1+1=0.8.

Moreover, mentioning Veronica out of the blue...

The relationship between Wayne and Veronica was clear to the Valkyrie, who knew it like the back of her hand. Only she, who upheld the spirit of a knight with high moral standards, could say such a thing without Wayne suspecting her of laying a trap to ensnare him.

"According to the Envoy, the Watson Family serves as the knight entourage, and Veronica’s father, Cushin Watson served the current Sun Knight, receiving orders to carry a portion of the knight’s strength across the Misty Sea..."

The Valkyrie slowly narrated, hinting that the world beyond the Misty Sea might have some connection with the seal on the Icebound Continent.

The Sun Knight, bound to guard the Icebound Continent and unable to leave, entrusted his power to his entourage Cushin and tasked him with a vital mission. Cushin, along with his wife, Carter, and a group of mages from the Sun Church, ventured into the Misty Sea and vanished without a trace.

Involving the strength of the Sun Knight, The Church would naturally not define this matter as a simple disappearance case. Numerous investigations were conducted, all ending in either more disappearances or in finding nothing at all.

Given the gravity of the matter, details could not be disclosed carelessly. The higher-ups declared the Watson couple had failed their mission and perished, leaving Veronica an orphan.

Wayne listened with a confused expression. He knew that Veronica had lost her parents when she was young, but he had never imagined their disappearance was related to the Sun Knight.

Power from a god-chosen knight could actually be lent out? How did he not know about this?

Oh, considering his situation, he supposed he somewhat counted as the Headless Knight who had loaned out his strength.

So there was no problem then!

"The Watson family serves as a knight entourage, and the person I’ve been waiting for on Dragonheart Island should have been Veronica, but you turned out to be even more exceptional," the Valkyrie whispered to Wayne.

Veronica found her, received the knight’s inheritance, set off to the Misty Sea, retrieved the Sun Knight’s strength, and delivered it to the Icebound Continent—all were the arrangements of fate.

Really? Could fate be so capricious?

Wayne raised an eyebrow. Without saying, the Valkyrie’s words did make some sense.

There were two treasures on Dragonheart Island: one, the armor Valkyrie, representing the inheritance of the Dragon-Slayer Sword Technique, and two, the Dragon’s Secret Treasure, Dragon Heart’s Blood.

These two treasures corresponded to Veronica and Veronica, who both happened to set foot on Dragonheart Island and received their respective treasures, claiming it as fate wasn’t too far-fetched.

But, Wayne thought the notion was a bit forced, with the reason lying in his own existence.

It was his investigation on Dragonheart Island that led to Veronica coaxing Veronica into joining her on a trip there. Without him, the Dragon Blood would have been taken by the Hell Devil, the Blood Tyrant, the Valkyrie would have lost to the Blood Tyrant, and she would have completely perished due to exhaustion of thoughts.

Wayne knew he was a transmigrator, and in a timeline without him, the original "Wayne’s" future had been set—he would be the Death Knight.

The Goddess of Death was the first to arrive!

This fact had already been proven in the Inverted World of the Mirror Space.

In other words, there was no such thing as fate, just coincidences. The Goddess’ Envoy forcibly turned the coincidences into fate, convincing the devout Valkyrie beyond a shadow of a doubt.

Such a nice sister, why had her faith ruined her?

Saina: Makes sense.

Odelia: Couldn’t agree more.

"I’ve basically understood the situation, but is there a chance that the Goddess’ Envoy..."

Wayne stopped midway through his sentence, giving up on persuasion. The Valkyrie’s faith was too strong to be swayed; continuing to speak would only lead her to believe he was framing her.

He then said, "Whether it’s you or Veronica, both of you are very important to me. I want to be involved in this mission too. Give me the chance, I don’t want to lose either of you."

The Valkyrie was quite moved, praising Wayne once again for his upright heart—humble, loyal, brave, and willing to sacrifice. She just conveyed it too subtly.

Clearly, the Knight Teacher had missed the student’s subtext, or perhaps she’d understood but it didn’t concern her. She only saw him as a knight apprentice.

Teachers and students shouldn’t be too familiar.

As for Veronica and Wayne’s relationship, the Valkyrie was quite troubled: "Wayne, if you let go now, she might still have a reason to leave. If you insist on joining this mission, it will only torment her with a terrible emotional entanglement for the rest of her life. That’s too cruel."

"If you’re going to say that, then I definitely must go!"

Wayne huffed, his mind made up, and today no one could change it.

"When do we leave?"

"We set out the morning after next."

"That soon?"

Wayne thought to himself that this was tricky, silently calculating. The time was tight, but manageable.

He quickly took off his knight armor and placed it in the corner of the room, then drove straight to Lando Manor.

He had important intelligence to discuss with Old Login!

----

At Lando Manor, in the young miss’s villa.

Three heads huddled together, laughing and talking. The difference was that Veronica laughed very happily, while the other two were somewhat somber.

Chris was quite somber, sneaking glances at Veronica. Wayne must not have lied to him, the two had rolled in the sheets.

Just by looks, Veronica didn’t seem any different than before—still proud and aloof, without a trace of mature transformation on her, but... her breasts seemed a bit larger than before.

"Senior..."

Veronica sat beside Chris, raising her hand to wrap around her senior’s arm, also covering her chest in the process.

Even though she still harbored unexplained feelings for her first love, wanting to be close upon meeting him, she was betrothed now, and future closeness had to be kept at a distance, otherwise, her betrothed would definitely misunderstand.
