In short, the Great Magician finally became Luoluo's Guardian Knight as he wished. The youth was probably the first Tier 5 Great Magician in history to become a Guardian Knight.
Brave, on the other hand, had no idea that he had accidentally recruited the future Guardian Knight of the human race. Lolo was still worried about the young scholar's safety. "I know you're smart, but the enemy we're facing is really unusual. You have to be very, very careful in the future."
"Careful of what?"
Brave hesitated for a moment, and finally spat out two words. "The Temple."
"Oh." The Great Magician nodded, his expression as usual.
"Eh, aren't you surprised to hear that?" The young man's calmness puzzled the girl. The Temple had always had a good image among the people. The priests often healed the wounded and the dying, and when they met poor people, they would not charge a single cent. The priests and nuns would guide the lost people, and some people would even go to remote villages deep in the mountains to spread the light of the gods to every corner of the world. They would live there for most of their lives. However, the most popular people in the Temple were the brave, benevolent, and righteous Paladins. Many legends and stories about them were still circulating in the streets. Every girl wanted a reliable and gentle boyfriend like a Paladin.
It could be said that in the eyes of most people, the Temple was the symbol of holiness and benevolence. It was the incarnation of the gods in the human world, especially for those who had suffered. The Temple was their pillar of faith.
Nearly 70% of the human world's population were believers of the gods. In other words, going against the Temple was basically going against the entire world.
Therefore, when Luo Luo said those two words, she was actually very nervous. She didn't know if the young man would choose to believe her unconditionally this time, or if he would laugh at her for worrying too much, or if he would just leave after hearing the answer. The girl even considered the worst possibility, that the young scholar would turn against her after learning the truth, and report her whereabouts to the church in the name of justice.
If that really happened, the girl would probably not be able to harden her heart to hate the young man. She would just feel a little disappointed.
The last person in this world who was willing to stand by her side was also gone.
However, to Lolo's surprise, the young man only responded with an "oh" after hearing this shocking answer. He looked as if he had heard a girl say, "Let's eat rice tonight, I'll cook two side dishes, and you go buy a bottle of soy sauce." Then, the young scholar pushed the door open and went to the grocery store with an empty bottle in his hand.
The rookie, The Brave could not help but suspect if he was tongue-tied when he spoke. He did not pronounce the word 'temple' clearly, which created some ambiguity. That was the only way to explain the young man's calm reaction.
So she repeated her previous answer, "I just said, my enemy is the Temple."
This time, Luo Luo paid special attention to her pronunciation. She made sure to enunciate every word perfectly. She even emphasized the word 'Divine Hall' to emphasize it.
In the end, all she got in return was a certain someone's absent-mindedness.
Lolo finally gave up. The guy in front of her seemed to have a different way of thinking from ordinary people. But for some reason, such a young scholar made her feel inexplicably relieved.
The big stone in her chest finally fell to the ground. The girl did not expect that one day she would share the deepest secret hidden in her heart with another person.
The rookie, The Brave, scratched his head. "So, aren't you going to say something?"
Rob thought for a moment and said, "You've got some guts."
The girl suddenly became a little mad. "I'm not asking you to judge me. Besides, I didn't deliberately make things difficult for them. They provoked me first."
"Heh, light and darkness are like a pair of twins. They accompany each other, and no one can live without the other. The Temple is the spokesperson of the gods in the mortal world, the epitome of the Kingdom of God in the mortal world. Naturally, they have to build themselves into the ideal image of their believers. But since they live in the mortal world, how can they be spotless?" The great mage's expression became a little more serious. As one of the few people who knew about the existence of the Inquisition of Heresy and the Punishment Paladins, Rob's understanding of the Temple was undoubtedly more rational and objective than ordinary people.
"Speaking of which, I still don't know why you are the enemy of the Temple." The young man had asked a similar question in the camp, but Lolo did not answer at that time.
This time, the girl didn't hide it from her guardian knight anymore, "It's because of my mother. My mother used to be a nun in the hieron's hall. Later on, she met my father and fell in love with him. My father is a noble of the Sacred Alliance. I'm sorry for hiding my real identity from you. Actually, my real name is Luoluo? Hartfilia? Breton. "
"Eh, Breton? The Breton family in the north? Don't tell me your father is the famous Scarlet Sword? "
This was the first time that Your Honor, the future Supreme Magister, had a surprised expression on his face. Previously, when he knew that the girl's enemy was the Temple, the Archmage's reaction was as if he had drunk a glass of water. Well, this was probably because Rob had already gotten the answer from the four Punishment Paladins back in the Adventurer's Heart.
However, the name Breton was not something that those third-rate nobles who only had their former glory left, or those new nobles who wanted to squeeze their way into the upper class could compare to.
Although they were not as dazzling as the Matthews family, the Breton family was still an old noble family with a long history. They were also very good at cultivating their heirs. The Breton family did not have many members, but the young people were basically good at both literature and martial arts. They were especially talented in swordsmanship. Almost all of the family heads were outstanding swordsmen. For example, the previous head of the Breton family, Viscount Karov, was an eighth-grade swordsman known as the Scarlet Sword.
Rob had heard many legends about this baron when he was still a child. In fact, almost all the boys in the north grew up listening to the story of the Scarlet Sword. Karov was the idol of all the boys, and they dreamed of becoming that kind of person in the future.
"Yes." At this point, Lolo was obviously ready to confess everything. She mustered up all her courage and said to the young man, "Erm, I have another thing to tell you."
"Uh, you're actually a girl?"
"H-how did you know?!" Lolo was shocked.
"The Scarlet Sword doesn't have a son. She only has a daughter. This is no secret." The Archmage was actually a little guilty at this moment, but he was too embarrassed to say that he only knew because he had secretly touched her chest before.
