Mythology Rebooted-Chapter 652 - 269 Magic Really Has Its Merits_3

At that moment, Carter, deep in slumber, slowly opened her eyes as if a seal had been broken, and blurted out upon seeing the figure of the knight, shining with golden light, "Lord Leo!"

Who is Leo, the current Sun Knight?

Wayne stood up, looking at Carter as she awoke, and let out a huge sigh of relief, narrowly averting Veela’s wrath.

Wayne remembered vividly what Saina looked like; his mind resisted, but his body was honest, inevitably conquering itself, perhaps even offering herself to him the next time they met.

Luckily, he touched the medal, successfully waking Carter—otherwise...

Wayne shuddered at the thought. Although the prospect of a mother-daughter affair sounded thrilling, one couldn’t be too scoundrelly—it was no different from a newborn.

"Mother, mother..."

Veela’s tongue faltered, her watery, large eyes instantly filled with tears; she threw herself into Carter’s embrace and cried her heart out.

In her childhood memories, the faces of her parents had long been blurred, only imagining a family reunion through photographs; her dreamlike fantasies had turned into reality, which explained her current elation.

Carter was stunned for quite some time, embracing her daughter, who had grown up overnight, a look of disbelief accompanying her astonishment.

She had been asleep for a long time and was unaware of the swift passage of time; she only remembered Veela as a little girl, and her sudden transformation into a young woman had indeed caught her off guard.

Wayne nodded to Carter, dispelled the Sun Knight armor, and silently stepped back a few paces.

It was only a portion of the God-chosen Knight’s strength, lacking the key Divine Artifact, and thus not perfect—it was the weakest of his four knightly forms, and the actual combat effectiveness might not even compare to wearing the Valkyrie armor.

The mother and daughter hugged each other, one crying, the other stunned; the former cried without restraint, and the latter fumbled in an attempt to provide comfort, eventually also breaking into tears.

The mood was set, cry first, talk later.

The Valkyrie armor reassembled from light around Wayne, and his pristine white hands explored, trying to discern any differences in Wayne from before.

"Valkyrie, show some self-respect; students and teachers must not be improper," Wayne said sternly.

Valkyrie let out an awkward giggle, realizing her lapse in decorum, promptly apologized, and then made a request to Wayne. She wanted to communicate more directly, asking him to open his mind and let her see clearly.

This probably wouldn’t do. It would lead to corruption!

Wayne decisively refused Valkyrie’s request; seeing everything would only harm her.

Admittedly, Valkyrie had been blessed by the Ancient God, and her peculiar thinking couldn’t be measured by common standards; she might be fine even after seeing, but Wayne had many secrets he didn’t wish to reveal to her. freeweɓnøvel~com

If he absolutely had to reveal them, then Valkyrie must fall from grace, worshiping him as her creed.

Flap, flap!

Ah Xue descended from the skies, eying Wayne with suspicion. It had witnessed him transform into the Sun Knight and couldn’t fathom why the Death Knight had become the Sun Knight.

"Hehehehehe————"

Wayne turned and let out a sinister laugh, sneering at the Snowy Owl perched on his shoulder: "It’s all because of you, all because of you, the Goddess’ Envoy, that I have become the Sun Knight."

Ah Xue’s pupils shrank in fright; yes, it had led the Death Knight here, and it was because of it that Valkyrie had misunderstood Wayne’s identity and hastily imparted the Dragon-Slayer Sword Technique.

It was a sinner, and even though its sentence had ended, there was a longer sentence awaiting it in the future.

After frightening Ah Xue, Wayne frowned, recalling the vision the carrier bird had seen: a terrifying creature hidden behind the Black Mountain Range, or rather, the entire mountain range was the body of the creature.

Torgoguryr!

The Golden City was merely an outpost; the monster could awaken at any time, and its emergence would surely bring disaster akin to a natural calamity.

What about the Icebound Continent? Was the monster there even more terrifying?

Wayne’s brows furrowed tightly as he remembered the scene the carrier bird had transmitted; a figure was running at high speed, possessing a part of the Sun Knight’s power, about to cross the Black Mountain Range.

Fortunately, everything was still within his plans, and there was still time.

Wayne closed his eyes and beckoned, attempting as a knight to reclaim that portion of power. After three tries, all efforts ended in failure.

He looked at the Black Mountain Range in surprise, suspecting that magnetic fields were to blame. Stepping forward, he ignored the mother and daughter holding each other and crying and snatched the medal from Carter’s hand.

How should I put it, this mother and daughter seemed to not be the brightest.

Wayne held the medal and summoned the power back again, but still failed. The departing power wouldn’t heed his command, refusing to obey.

Wayne’s eyes throbbed with anger. The power of the Sun Knight he had consumed was too weak to tame the other and make it listen. He then turned to Carter, "Ladies, I know this isn’t the right time, but the knight’s power is approaching Torgoguryr, about to become prey. Aunt Carter, could you reclaim that power?"

As he spoke, Wayne handed the medal back to her.

Carter consoled Verily with a few words, then asked curiously, "Knight Lord, you have already gained the Goddess’s approval. If even you can’t do it, how could I possibly manage?"

Damn, that’s a good point!

Wayne blinked, about to say something, when Carter respectfully asked, "I am Carter Watson, the wife of Knight Entourage Cushin Watson. May I have the honor of your name?"

"Wayne."

Wayne patted Verily’s head, "Verily’s boyfriend."

"Ah?"

Carter was shocked, her daughter was only five years old, how could...

Oh, she was about to turn twenty-one, having a boyfriend was normal.

"Yes, Wayne is my boyfriend," Verily nested in her mother’s arms, her voice muffled, "Where is father, why isn’t he with you?"

"Oh no, your father!"

Carter must have slept for too long, her thoughts sluggish, or maybe she really wasn’t that smart. Hearing her daughter’s words, she suddenly remembered she had a husband.

She hurriedly said, "The Dark Church’s sealing failed. We were ordered to enter the Misty Sea to reseal it, discovered the existence of Golden City, and Torgoguryr’s will spawned its own Dependent Races..."

"In the fight, our companions sacrificed themselves one after another. To protect me, Cushin entrusted me with the medal, and he continued to fight with a part of the knight’s power. Now..."

Pausing there, Carter looked toward the distance, her tears unstoppable, "The power the Knight Lord spoke of, must be him. He hasn’t forgotten his name yet."

Wayne’s eyes narrowed sharply, no wonder he couldn’t call back the knight’s power. It turned out that the current Sun Knight, Lord Leo, had entrusted Cushin with the power, and Leo’s authority was higher than his, hence the failure.

So...

Wayne looked toward the distant mountains; the monster that Ah Xue had seen was Cushin.

Wayne squinted, and the ugly face of Nate flashed before his eyes. If he wasn’t wrong, this monster was Verily’s father.

Not wanting his daughter to recognize him because he feared his own grotesque appearance?

What a man!

Wayne took a deep breath, "Don’t cry just yet. I’ll go take a look and bring him back. You can all cry as a family of three when I return."

Just as he was about to leave with Valkyrie’s help, Wayne’s hand was grabbed by Verily. Tears slid down her face as she remained silent, torn between the wish to save her father and the fear of losing her boyfriend, her gaze exceedingly complex.

"It’s fine, I’ll be back soon, and you won’t have to wait long," Wayne said with a slight smile. Seeing Verily gripping his hand tightly and refusing to let go, he pulled her out from Carter’s embrace, and gave her a deep, swift kiss.

"We’ll continue this when I come back, my girlfriend..."
