But the old man wasn't without a solution. He first offered a few words of praise to Otto, and then spoke of his plan to overthrow the nobles.

Then he offered the only way to save Karen—to marry her.

How strange! It was something Otto had always dreamed of. All the right things had come together—the perfect timing, the perfect location, the perfect people—and everything had fallen into his lap. It was a scene he had imagined countless times: marrying the only woman he would ever love.

But he couldn't feel happy at all.

not at all,

Because he knew Karen wouldn't agree.

In his mind, Karen was someone who would rather die than submit.

...

"His dream was to marry Karen. Reality and dreams converged at a point he had long awaited, but unfortunately, just as he had predicted, Karen would not agree."

The expert clicked his tongue twice. If it succeeded, the world would surely be transformed.

But there are no "what ifs." Otto's beloved died five hundred years ago, and he went mad trying to find every possible way to save her.

This world? Hmph, in his eyes it's probably not even as important as a single hair of Kallen's.

"Wouldn't it be perfect if Karen pretended to agree?"

Alicia was a little curious; she admitted she was intrigued by the development of the relationship between the two. The story must be more than it seemed.

“For Otto, Karen was his saint; his feelings for her were even mixed with faith,”

Luo Mo's gaze was somewhat complicated; the other party had regretted his past weakness more than once.

Even though he later wielded immense power, he still couldn't protect one person's life back then.

"And Karen, she truly possesses all the characteristics of a saint; she will not succumb to death, nor will she let her mistakes cloud her judgment..."

"That's why she became the eternal light in Otto's heart. He always firmly believed that if people like Karen could not live in the world, then there must be something wrong with the world."

"What madman..." Möbius couldn't help but smile.

Is he really like the missionaries of five hundred years ago, now conveying his faith in God through divine mandate?

"Even people like that can't live in this world...?"

Eden gave a wry smile, gently swirling his wine glass. The crimson liquid churned within, seemingly reflecting the events of that night.

She looked up, her gaze meeting that of Airi, the pink-clad girl who relentlessly teased the Herrscher of Knowledge, her face pretty and always smiling.

"That makes sense, doesn't it?" she murmured, slightly drunk.

"Sigh~, perhaps they're right. After all, look, Kallen exists in this world, and they've managed to survive peacefully, haven't they? There haven't been any artificial Herrschers or St. Freya's betrayal or anything like that," the Herrscher of Knowledge sighed.

In her view, the world might get better, if only it could survive the collapse.

"And what happened next?" Alicia couldn't help but ask.

"The aftermath was nothing more than a tragedy... Sigh, let's continue watching Xiaoshi's house-destroying adventure~"

Luo Mo sighed silently and waved his hand, saying...

"What do you mean by 'my house-destroying journey'? Why do you make me sound like a husky? Watch your mouth! Don't think that just because you summoned me, I won't dare to hit you!"

"For a visit to an old friend, Kevin brought out the entire base to entertain him!"

"...Indeed, it's quite embarrassing." After a moment of reflection, the Herrscher of Knowledge wholeheartedly agreed.

...

The first feeling of those who have broken free from the laws of destiny is freedom—an unimaginable freedom.

Without any constraints or disturbances, no one will interfere with her opinions anymore.

The entire world was open and unobstructed.

So she decided to follow her heart and meet up with an old friend, and maybe see if he had any feathers she had left behind.

As a result, at the World Snake Base,

She and "Jackal," an officer at the base at the time, hit it off immediately and talked endlessly.

From the initial visit to the forced entry and then the complete destruction, the entire process was carried out seamlessly, without any pause.

In just a few words between the jackal and the Herrscher of Knowledge, the conflict escalated rapidly.

Door after door was smashed through by the Herrscher of Knowledge's fists. While the mechanical constructs were unaffected by Feather's Dust, in the hands of a Sage at his peak, they were nothing more than scrap metal. The two continued to verbally provoke each other.

"What do you mean, 'A mere Herrscher dares to break into my World Serpent's base!' 'What's so interesting about technology that's 50,000 years behind!'"

Just when Jackal decided to take out all the treasures that World Serpent had prepared for the Herrscher and gamble everything,

Finally, Kevin came up behind her, glanced at her quietly, and stopped the farce.

...

“Grey Serpent...you will still be in charge of controlling our base from the central position. As for Ferry...let Jackal focus on her research.”

After watching it, Kevin's calm voice echoed in the dimly lit space.

"Yes, my lord."

The gray snake bowed slightly, placing its right fist on its left chest as a sign of respect.

He had a similar thought just now: resources should be used selectively, not squandered indiscriminately.

Why do you insist on throwing everything at the Herrscher of Knowledge?

Jackal has been blacklisted by Gray Serpent; she can't be allowed to run the base alone.

Chapter 131 The Dean Feels Hopeless About the Future

"..." Karen didn't speak, but just frowned and thought about something.

Recalling the scene in her mind, did Otto come to the prison looking for her with this kind of mentality?

He knew himself well enough to know that he would not succumb to the pressure from the three major families at that time.

But unfortunately, he knew himself well enough that he could only helplessly watch things unfold from beginning to end.

"Your Excellency, is this considered malicious fabrication? Should I warn him?"

Rita looked at Karen, who was frowning, and said that she thought Bishop Karen disliked this kind of plot that included her own personality, and felt that she should probably warn Lomo.

Of course, she also had her own reasons; the voice acting for the character of the heartbroken Rosemary she did a couple of days ago was stopped several times.

This is the first time she's said that there are many things wrong with her voice acting... Honestly, even she feels that's a bit harsh.

"No need, it's just something that happens in the game. I won't hold it against you..."

Karen simply shook her head; this would only help her see the whole picture.

As for reputation... she didn't think anyone would remember someone who disappeared 500 years ago; that had already been proven.

"Yes, Lord Bishop."

Rita was a little disappointed, but it was fleeting.

She doesn't let her inner emotions affect her work, which has always been one of her strengths.

However, she became even more curious about the game and Otto, after all, this was about arranging a fiancé for the bishop, which was considered extremely disrespectful...

"I know you might be curious about Otto... but Rita, he really did exist, and that's the only answer I can give you for now. As for the rest, I don't know much either..."

Karen hesitated, saying she had thought many times about whether or not to confide in Rita, whom she trusted most.

However, there should be many more scenes featuring Otto later on, and saying a few words won't cause any conflict between Rita and him.

"Yes, Your Excellency..." came the same reply again.

But the questions in Rita's eyes didn't disappear; instead, they multiplied. However, she understood that what the bishop told her was what she could know, and what he didn't say, she shouldn't press for answers.

...

After the intense warm-up battle between the Herrscher of Knowledge and Kevin, neither of them seemed inclined to continue fighting.

She had already gone to lie down in the shadow cast by the giant rock, closed her eyes and hummed a song, to do what she called conserving her energy.

She leisurely turned her head and said to Kevin.

"So, Kevin, now you believe it's really me, right?"

Kevin didn't answer, but instead made a cryptic gesture—he raised his right hand to his heart and looked up at the distant sky.

There was nothing there.

"...Yes, you are here."

He stretched out his hand, and in his palm lay a feather, one of the myriad incarnations of Yu Duchen.

It's hard to say who Kevin was addressing.

...

"It seems that after the battle, Kevin is now certain that you are not Fu Hua."

Alicia smiled, observing the expression on the Herrscher of Knowledge's face.

As expected, she showed obvious displeasure, like a child unable to control her emotions. She pointed her finger in the air and said with a wider smile, "But, you didn't expose me? Kevin has improved."

"You call this progress? If there's a problem, just point it out to my face. You made me look so foolish..."

The Lawbringer, harboring resentment, glanced at Kevin but made no move to rush into the fight.

After all, the other side has a large and powerful force; thirteen people lined up there, who has the ability to fight them? Anyway, she's not going; she's not going to fight a battle she can't win!

"If the truth is revealed, I will be the one who makes a fool of myself."

Kevin said calmly, his eyes fixed on the game, which was also a way of giving the other party an explanation.

He was 100% certain that if he directly said no, the other party would definitely fight him again. She didn't care about right or wrong, so why provoke the other party?

"Tsk~, it seems even Kevin acknowledges my abilities."

"Hahaha—" Qianjie's laughter came from behind the mask.

"Qian Jie, do you have a problem with me?" The Herrscher of Knowledge was greatly displeased. She had already been very accommodating to Qian Jie, knowing his bad temper.
