The goddesses attempted to gain my salvation.

After bidding farewell to Ziel, Ryan followed his memory and arrived at Freya's room.

After pushing open the door, they found that everyone was there except for Tracy and Victor.

Upon seeing Ryan, Daphne was the first to rush over.

Then Norma came over, put her arm around Ryan's neck, and complained that he was really not fair, for making such a commotion in the Duchy of Ferrante without telling everyone.

Mi Lai adjusted her glasses; although her face remained expressionless, a sense of relief lingered in her eyes.

Veranica leaned against the bedside, her heart filled with joy.

The new techniques I learned before can finally be put to use.

After chatting briefly with everyone, Ryan realized that Tracy wasn't telling them the truth. She had only told them that something had happened in her hometown and she needed to go back for a while.

Therefore, they were not too saddened by Tracy's departure, and even looked forward to her return with some interesting local specialties.

Ryan naturally didn't expose the lie.

As for Victor... well, it's quite a pity.

They didn't have much interaction with Victor to begin with, and their emotional connection was only slightly stronger than that of ordinary mentors.

After Victor disappeared, they simply reported it to the college, were depressed for a few days, and then everything returned to normal.

Thinking about it this way, perhaps the only one who is sad is Shuna.

After Victor went missing, Ryan also learned about it, and Shuna also left the academy.

Looking at the smiles filling the room, Ryan made a silent resolution.

At the very least, we must protect the people in front of us.

However, in addition to these, Norma also told Ryan about Freya's situation.

And Ryan finally understood what Orina meant by "something is special".

Chapter 168 Late at Night, a Campfire, and New "Friends"

Ryan sat next to Freya, looking at her with a complicated expression.

To Ryan's surprise, although Freya had awakened, her cognition was impaired.

What was even more unexpected was that Freya actually believed that he was her husband.

Fortunately, with Olena in charge of overseeing things at the Vatican, nothing went wrong.

"Freya, it's me, Ryan."

Ryan's voice had no effect on Freya.

She continued to look out the window.

Ryan frowned slightly as he looked at Freya in this state.

According to Norma, Freya considered her to be his wife.

However, due to cognitive confusion, she is currently unable to receive any information from the outside world.

In layman's terms, Freya is now living in a fictional world created by her own mind.

This is very troublesome.

Even the dark magicians of the Holy See were helpless against this.

However, whether out of personal feelings or for the greater good, Freya's recovery is the top priority.

Looking into her empty eyes, Ryan made up his mind that his main goal for the next period of time would be to completely restore Freya's cognition.

------

Faced with Freya's confused state of mind, Ryan's first thought was to utilize the power of the dream world.

The power of the dream world is immense, but it also has its limitations.

One of the conditions is that the other party must be a mage with six circuits.

Unfortunately, Freya is not a mage with six magic circuits.

Therefore, she cannot be captured in the dream world.

Now, Ryan has two choices.

First, make Freya a mage with six circuits, and then use the power of the dream world to directly interfere with her consciousness world and reorganize it.

This method is the safest.

However, the problem is that magic circuits are not like vegetables in a field, nor are they like fruits on a tree; they are not something that can be created simply by saying so.

Even under normal circumstances, it would take several years and countless resources for a mage with five circuits to awaken into one with six circuits, and there is no guarantee of success.

Moreover, Freya is currently in no condition to study magic.

This path is unlikely to be successful.

Secondly, they would find a highly skilled dark magician and use their abilities to reverse Freya's memories and personality.

However, this method requires the other party to possess extremely strong capabilities.

Secondly, you need to have a good understanding of Freya.

Because rebuilding memories and personality, and restoring cognition, is a manual process, insufficient understanding of Freya can easily lead to secondary harm during the reconstruction process.

The first point alone eliminated many people, and the second point almost completely blocked all possibilities.

The second path doesn't seem so easy either. Late at night.

Ryan sat in Freya's room, lost in thought as he looked at the sleeping beauty on the bed.

Veranika and the others have already left.

Ryan decided to stay and think about how to solve this thorny problem.

The two solutions that could be considered using conventional methods now seem rather impractical.

What remains is to take an unconventional approach.

Back when he was still in the Duchy of Ferrante, Ryan knew Yvette and had conducted many experiments with the Mystic Blue Flower and magic-like circuits.

If that achievement were applied to Freya, it might temporarily grant her six circuits. This would allow Ryan to unleash the power of the dream world.

But this method is too risky.

Even Yvette couldn't claim to have 100% complete control over this kind of experiment.

Once it's applied to Freya, who knows what will happen.

For security reasons, the idea was scrapped almost immediately by Ryan.

Of course, Ryan could also find a dark attribute mage with six circuits and awaken his dark attribute circuits through the dream world.

This is the most feasible approach at present, especially since Yvette is involved.

That woman has already been marked by Ryan; there's no way she can escape.

However, this method also has its problems.

First of all, Ryan is not a dark magic user and has almost zero experience in controlling dark magic.

Even if one awakens the dark attribute circuit, there's no guarantee that one can perform that kind of surgically precise reconstruction.

In addition, and most importantly.

Ryan didn't know enough about Freya.

Or rather, the only person in the world who understands Freya best and is capable of doing this job is Freya herself.

"Hey......"

Ryan rubbed his temples and shook his head helplessly.

It would be best if Freya could repair herself.

She is both a dark magic user and someone who knows everything about her past.

Ryan: "..."

Suddenly, Ryan shuddered as if struck by lightning.

I got goosebumps all over my body.

and many more!

Repair it myself?

Ryan slowly raised his head and looked at Freya, who was fast asleep on the bed.

“Recently, that woman Orina has caused quite a stir. Not only has she removed many senior members from their positions, but she has even turned her attention to our Knights of the Sun.”

“I’ve heard rumors. There are quite a few voices within the Vatican calling for her to get out.”

The campfire outside the tent crackled and burned.

The three commanders of the Sun Knights, who were supposed to be in charge of guarding the other three kingdoms, were gathered around the campfire.

His golden armor shimmered in the flames.

Nelson, the Grand Master of the Griffin Knights; Byron, the Grand Master of the Icefield Knights; and Daniel, the Grand Master of the West Wind Knights.

Needless to say, Nelson and Byron had long disliked Olina.

Although Daniel dislikes Olina, he has not yet chosen to take sides out of loyalty to the Papacy.

Today, Nelson and Byron called him here in an attempt to win him over to their side.

Nelson took a sip of his hot wine and fixed his gaze on Byron.

"If we don't take action soon, the next two to be removed might be the two of us."

After saying that, he glanced at Daniel again.

"And you, Commander Daniel."

“Olina is extremely misogynistic. As a man, you shouldn’t think you can remain unaffected. I heard that Orina wants to remove all the male leaders and replace them with women.”
