Chapter 569: Chapter 243: Knights Do Not Die by Pistol, Foreseeing the Future_2

"""

"Go die! Go die!"

Wayne was interrupted by Veronica’s pounding on his chest, but he persisted and finished his whole speech, telling Veronica that times had changed.

Tsundere no longer fits the environment. If you like someone, just boldly say it. Otherwise, at the wedding, you’ll only be fit to be a bridesmaid.

Veronica threw a few more punches, sullenly asking, "Can nightmares become reality?"

"No."

Wayne was certain, knights don’t die to handguns, Austin won’t be taken out by a single bullet, Veronica’s nightmare had logical flaws and couldn’t withstand scrutiny.

Besides, Veronica’s nightmare wasn’t due to the Dragon Blood Curse. His and Austin’s deaths were just the surface, the deeper meaning of the nightmare was the destruction of her family.

Her nightmare was related to the family environment of her childhood.

"You’ve worked hard, I promise this family won’t fall apart."

Wayne sat up, hugged Veronica in his arms, gently patted her back, and pondered over the true nature of the Dragon Blood Curse.

With not a single clue at hand, it was pointless to conjecture. He decided to give up being a freeloader and plan to ask Saina later.

Veronica was stunned, not cursing or seeking a beating. This sudden seriousness made her quite uncomfortable. Her heart raced uncontrollably, her hands acted faster than her mind, and before she knew it, she was holding Wayne.

It smells so good! x2

Saina: (눈_눈)

What’s the situation, did she arrive at a bad time?

Having experienced the terrifying nightmare of losing loved ones, it was understandable to embrace in relief, but was their posture a bit too intense?

In Saina’s eyes, the siblings were embracing each other. The brother was fine, but the sister had her legs parted and clung to her brother like an octopus, her eyes half-closed with a satisfied expression.

Could this little one have improper thoughts about her own brother?

"Cough cough!"

Saina clenched her fist and coughed lightly, breaking the romantic atmosphere in the air.

"Sai, Teacher Saina..."

Veronica jumped up quickly, standing to the side in a fluster, trying to explain but not knowing where to start.

"Teacher Saina, what brings you here?"

Wayne stood up, patted Veronica’s head, and smiled indulgently, "She got scared in her dream, I was just comforting her."

Just spoil her then!

Saina shook her head, "Do you two... usually get so close at home?"

"Not typically, occasionally, whenever Veronica was scared of thunder. When Hefei Teacher wasn’t home and it was a night of flashing lightning and thunder, she’d clutch her pillow and dive into my bed," recalled Wayne with a smile.

So that’s where the trouble began.

After pondering for a moment, Saina finally spoke with the authority of an elder, "You two are adults now, you can’t play around like children anymore. It’s lucky it was me who saw this. It would be difficult to explain to anyone else."

Veronica: (눈‸눈)

This bastard just spouts nonsense so easily, he’s really good at deceiving women!

"""

Veronica fell into deep thought. Was there a possibility that she had been deceived all along because she was too involved to notice?

"Thank you for your guidance. I’ll keep my distance from Veronica in the future. After all, she’s all grown up," Wayne sighed with a mixture of relief and pride. Having a younger sister who was coming of age made him feel especially gratified as an older brother.

While he spoke, he ruffled Veronica’s hair.

Veronica kept her head down and said nothing, resolving to give the trash can a good thrashing once Saina left.

Today, garbage sorting was a must.

"By the way, Teacher Saina, did you come to see us for a reason?" Wayne asked politely, attempting to improve his poor impression in Saina’s eyes through a display of good character.

The difficulty was immense, as he was too much like Austin.

But Wayne had to do it. This was a gold mine, and currying favor could be handsomely rewarding. Not to mention, the truth about the Dragon Blood Curse still depended on Saina’s precise information.

"I have something very important to discuss, directly related to whether you can become the Saint Heir."

"???" x2

Could I/he become the Saint Heir? x2

Veronica almost laughed out loud; even Wayne didn’t believe it. Philomena had warned that Saint Heirs/Maidens could become possessed by the thoughts of the Goddess, and there was the possibility that she might sift through memories during that time.

In the religious texts, the Nature Goddess was pure, having never had a partner.

As if that was the case!

The Sun, moonlight, darkness, death—they were all pure, all without partners.

One being partnerless was one thing, but all five...

It just didn’t sound believable.

Wayne was skeptical about the Goddesses’ descriptions of purity. Drawing parallels with celebrity PR strategies, he perceived the Goddesses’ purity as a religious marketing ploy, a foolproof scheme for reaping believers’ devotion.

Setting aside his own cynicism, if the Nature Goddess was pure and he became a Saint Heir, the idea of the Goddess browsing his memories, vicariously experiencing his midnight escapades from a first-person VR perspective...

And it wasn’t just one episode; several female characters made appearances.

The outcome was predictable: the Naturalism Church’s sole Saint Heir would come down with a sudden chill and die shortly after that very night.

Wayne would never be a Saint Heir, not even if it was offered to him—such was his lack of courage. He told Saina with a serious expression, "Teacher Saina, you are mistaken. My abilities are too poor to qualify for being a Holy Maiden. On this journey, I am Veronica’s bodyguard; she is the most important one."

As he spoke, he brought up the matter of Dragon Blood.

In order to ensure Veronica’s resounding success, he earnestly requested Saina’s aid with a few dozen pounds of Dragon Blood.

"Dragon Blood is extremely precious, usually measured in grams. Besides, Giant Dragons do not exist on the God-chosen Continent; obtaining Dragon Blood must be done through the Divine Nation," Saina responded earnestly, unfamiliar with the concept of ridicule.

"Where does the Divine Nation’s Dragon Blood come from?"

"From slaying dragons!"

"..." x2

Wayne and Veronica both thought of the Dragonheart Island, where the Sun Goddess’ Knight Order had participated in the dragon-slaying battle.

The Valkyrie, among nine other Knights, entered the realm of the Giant Dragon. After a fierce battle, the Giant Dragon fell, and alongside its heart, the Valkyrie crashed down onto the God-chosen Continent.
