Chapter 714: Chapter 287: The Gathering of the Five Chosen Ones_3

Damn Naturalism Church, damn Mula, they actually snatched my successor!

Only one thought occupied Dreyne’s mind, she had arrived first.

It was Kris who led Wayne onto the path of magic, Philomena who taught Wayne the Elven Divine Arts, and Wayne was destined to become a Moonlight Knight—all because the Naturalism Church shamelessly played dirty tricks.

Dreyne stared blankly for a long time before she put away the White Night Purity Words and voiced her final doubt, "Why are you both a Naturalist Knight and a Moonlight Knight? Why were you able to become a Moonlight Knight after becoming a Naturalist Knight?"

"..."

"Wayne, speak up!"

"Dreyne, I’m still a child. How could I possibly know something even you don’t know?"

His logic was sound and irrefutable.

Dreyne opened her mouth to speak but hesitated, wanting to say something then thinking better of it, and finally said dryly, "So what are you now, exactly whose knight are you?"

She asked with a question, but stared intently at Wayne’s face, not waiting for him to reply, she pressed on with a mix of threat and inducement, "Speak, you are a Moonlight Knight, Kris and Philomena gave you everything, you cannot let them down!"

This put Wayne in a bind. With his teacher/mother and fiancée still part of the Naturalism Church, not to mention Verily, the Valkyrie mingling with the Sun Goddess, did that mean he could disappoint them?

No way!

Wayne spread his small hands, "I’m not sure, this is up to the Goddess. My word doesn’t count."

Makes sense!

Dreyne nodded repeatedly, who is chosen as a god-selected knight is not up to her or Wayne, it’s solely in the Goddess’s hands.

She should get in touch with the Goddess to clear things up.

Just as Dreyne was about to hurriedly send a message to the Goddess, she suddenly remembered she couldn’t do so right now. The sealing ground was distorted by the Projection Space of the Ancient God’s Kin, and the spatial errors created chaos, making it unclear who would receive the message if sent.

If by chance it reached an Ancient God, that would be quite the spectacle.

Unable to contact the Moonlight Goddess, Dreyne could only wait for the Moonlight Goddess to reach out to her. She grabbed Wayne’s collar in a swift motion, "You little brat, stay away from Mula in the future. Don’t be fooled by his appearance as a moral paragon, he’s actually a cold-blooded butcher, a ruthless murderer, got that?"

Big sister, don’t your words make your conscience ache?

Wayne would be crazy to take Dreyne’s nonsense seriously; he had eyes to see what kind of person Mula was.

To be fair, Mula was noble in character, a knight with a strong sense of justice. Even someone as outstanding as him had to sometimes lay low.

And Dreyne...

...Let’s just say she had good looks to her favor, a true beauty.

With their faces close together, Dreyne saw Wayne’s elusive gaze and was immediately furious, "You are my successor, I command you not to see Mula ever again."

"What about Lord Leo?"

"What does Leo have to do with this?"

"Not to hide it from you, I am also the successor of the Sun Knight."

"Ah?!"

Dreyne blinked in confusion, her domineering aura plummeting to freezing point before she said after a long pause, "I didn’t hear you clearly earlier, what kind of knight did you say you are, a Death Knight?"

That wasn’t wrong, after all, he was connected to all five.

"I forgot to mention, before I met you, I had already met Lord Leo."

Wayne, with a sheepish expression, struggled to distance himself from the icy beauty but failed and was pulled back even closer face-to-face.

The distance was so close, Wayne could feel Dreyne’s breath and almost thought he lost his first kiss to a head-push squad.

He quickly said, "Calm down, don’t get so close, I’m betrothed, please, even if you use tricks, don’t use your beauty against me."

The truth—his time was no longer his own to manage.

Dreyne, looking miffed, let go of Wayne’s collar, and mocked, "In my life, I’ve been through countless men and romances. To say I’m battle-scarred wouldn’t be an overstatement. A little devil like you could never pique my interest."

"That’s really great, I prefer someone pure anyway."

"You scoundrel, who do you think you are looking down on!"

Dreyne was furious, but upon reflection, some things didn’t seem worth proving because proving them meant losing them.

Looking coldly at Wayne, she gritted her teeth and said, "Tell me, what’s going on with you and Leo? Why did you become a Sun Knight?"

"Strictly speaking, I’m not yet a true Sun Knight, as I haven’t received Dawn Admonition’s approval, just a part..."

"The Misty Sea... Knight’s Medal..."

"It was an accident."

Wayne briefly narrated the events, appearing completely innocent, "At that time, I was desperate to save someone when suddenly the medal recognized me. I’m very confused about it myself. You should know, by then, I was already the successor of a Naturalist Knight."

"I knew it was you."

Dreyne’s brows furrowed deeply. Mula had boasted to her some time ago that he found a splendid successor, someone he could trust with the confidence to suppress the seals boldly, even in the face of death. With a successor in place, there wasn’t much to fear.

Dreyne, envious but not showing it, allowed Mula to leave smoothly. Then, Leo came along cheerfully, saying he also had one.

The situation was more or less as Wayne had described; only, Leo didn’t know what his successor looked like. He planned to personally search for the successor in Lundan once the crisis on the Icebound Continent was over.

If he were to die in battle, Leo intended to send Dawn Admonition away, and aside from not meeting his successor, he would have no other regrets.

That day, Dreyne was upset. Both Mula and Leo had successors, only she didn’t, which was quite frustrating.

"You already had the identity of two god-chosen knights, why did you deceive me?"

"I didn’t deceive you. I was curious. Since I could gain the recognition of Elemental Mantra, and Dawn Admonition, I wondered if White Night Purity Words, being part of Life Alliance, could do the same."
