Members of the secret council!

Whether it was true or not, Ou Jia couldn't be sure, nor did she know Lindsay's position in the secret council. If she was on equal footing with those old guys, she probably wouldn't be able to command them.

I hope the position isn't too high.

Furthermore, Ou Jia was also unsure whether Lindsay and Gawain were so close, and whether Lindsay was deliberately trying to get close to Gawain in order to obtain potential development techniques, given that Lindsay and Gawain were still cheerful even after their treehouse was stolen.

If Lindsay really comes from the Secret Council and has such intentions, then this decorative saintess won't cause trouble.

A saint in the Church of Dawn should be self-aware; the chair she sits on is too small to compete with the secret council.

But if not...

She desperately wanted to advance her career, desperately wanted to join the management team and become Manager Ou!

……

The Holy See was not particularly pleased either.

Delight was comforting Beamont, saying that it's okay to lose. It's not like we, master and apprentice, can't afford to lose. What's terrible is not the defeat itself, but the despair that follows.

If the teacher doesn't stand up and turn shame into motivation, but instead continues to sink into despair, Gao Wen's evil scheme will succeed.

That's how she fell for it; the events in her dreams kept replaying themselves from time to time.

Every three days I have a small dream, every five days I have a big dream, in which Gao Wen chases me and tears off my clothes, while thousands of onlookers watch.

I won't go into the specific details, as I don't want to leave a lasting impression. And then tonight, she met Gawain in her dreams again.

Besides, if we're really comparing misery, teacher, you're nowhere near as bad as me. My clothes aren't even dirty. Look at the Dawn Church next door. Medici walked out of the grove, looking utterly dejected. Her empty eyes and unsteady steps suggested that she had first been beaten to her knees by the blond-haired female knight, and then violated by the blond-haired man.

Otherwise, there's no way to explain changing clothes; you can't exactly go to the woods to get a scrub, can you?

Beamont: "..."

Looking at the good student waving his arms and cheering him on, she could only say that she had comforted him well, but she shouldn't do that next time.

Whether Medici was violated or not is hard to say, but she was indeed groped by Gawain, although not this time, and although it was purely accidental, but...

In less than a month, Gao Wen gained the ability to avoid accidents, indicating that the gap will only widen in the future.

She might as well have groped his breasts this time; at least they'd be evenly matched. She'd be at a disadvantage, but at least she'd be guaranteed to win in the future.

Now look what's happened; he'll never be able to get back the favor he and his students caused them.

I regret it. If only I had listened to advice and hadn't gone to confront them!

Seeing that her teacher's eyes were gradually brightening with comfort, Desiree handed her a platter of specialty fruits: "Teacher, according to you, last time we beat Gawain to his knees and made him surrender and apologize with tears in his eyes, why..."

Why play again, and why was he so distraught this time, losing as if he had been utterly ruined?

Because she was a teacher, Desiree couldn't say these things outright, but her large eyes were filled with questions.

Faced with the students' confusion, Beatrice stammered. She admitted that she was wrong to lie last time, but it was a white lie, and she couldn't bear the embarrassment of telling the truth.

As Beamont was thinking this, she suddenly found the special fruit platter particularly tempting and ate several in a row: "Your Majesty, the fruit is delicious, would you like to try some?"

"No, I'm tired of it."

Daisy had grown up eating fruit and was already tired of it. Seeing that her teacher was changing the subject, she didn't delve into the topic of defeat to save face: "Teacher, I fought against Gawain last November. Although I was no match for him, he couldn't have been a match for a Grand Mage back then. How could he have become so powerful in such a short time?"

"talent."

“Talent needs to be realized. Teacher, you've fought Gao Wen twice, and you have one more experience than me. Don't you think he's too fast?”

Beatrice paused for a moment. The student was right; she thought so too. Gawain was simply too fast.

"Teacher, Gao Wen was able to realize his talent so quickly, is there some special technique he used?"

"Perhaps, but he's very close to the Temple of All Things, and the Grand Church has plenty of resources, so it's not surprising that he's moving faster."

……

On the other side of the Natural Holy See, Grimm gathered a group of knights, all good brothers who had sworn the same oath, whom he called like-minded people, and they surrounded Gawain's treehouse with great momentum.

Because the guests from the Dawn Church were nearby, they dared not make a loud noise. They greeted each other warmly and invited Gawain to take a stroll in the grove.

Inside the treehouse, Qin stood up, her face frosty.

Soldiers against soldiers, kings against kings; the few small fry are no match for Gao Wen, she can handle them.

Gawain put down the fruit platter he had snatched from Lindsay, pressed down on Qin's shoulder, and the fifth chapter of his Knight Princess sequel quest was leaked.

leave me alone!

[Host has triggered the quest [The Knight Princess's Defeat - Part 5]]

[Mission Description: The Knight Princess's teacher walked out of the grove, looking distraught, as if you had used her for your own pleasure. The knights are furious and determined to avenge their leader. They firmly believe that you cannot defeat them all before your stamina runs out.]

[Task Rewards: 1800 million Experience Points, 10 Gold Coins, 400 Basic Free Attribute Points]

"Sister Qin, don't move around here. I'll be right back. I'm really bored. Make the bed. I can't sleep on a hard bed."

Gawain flipped and jumped down from the treehouse. What a joke! He came to the Duchy of Rufa to do missions. Small fry may be small, but they can still make a dish. If he was driven away by Qin, what was he supposed to do?

Knight A: I was terrified! When Vice Commander Green rushed over, I almost knelt down and apologized to him.

Knight B: It has nothing to do with me. Don't splatter blood on me when you apologize.

Knight C: Is this the time to talk about this? Vice-Commander Green said that the Commander has been toyed with by that kid more than once. Everyone, keep your spirits up and don't lose face. Fight to the death tonight!

Knight D: Don't mention it, it just makes me angrier. That kid knelt before the commander, so tonight we'll kneel before him just like that, and then make him kneel before us.

Dozens of people entered the grove in batches. Under the starry sky, the trees crackled and swayed, and people hummed and laughed, creating quite a lively scene.

Everyone's busy, each with their own things to do.

Even Lindsay, whose treehouse and fruit platter were stolen, is now looking for a new target and figuring out who to rob next.

Our own saintess isn't suitable, and the neighbor's saintess isn't appropriate either, so it's Green. Who told you to stay home in the middle of the night instead of doing your job!

Bring it to you!

The only one with nothing to do was Kede, who was in charge of security for the trip.

The Grand Master of the Temple Knights of the Natural Holy Court remained steadfast in his post, gazing at the stars while taking a moment to check his watch.

"It's almost midnight..."

"Two hours left."

Chapter 239 Let go of the urge to help others and respect their fate.

midnight.

The stars shone brightly, and the vast sky looked down upon the utter silence.

The once quiet camp was suddenly filled with intermittent, suppressed groans. At first, they were just isolated cases, but they spread like wildfire, with one painful gasp after another.

The knights on night duty were pale, clutching their cramping abdomens, their foreheads covered in sweat.

At first, everyone thought it was just an upset stomach and that the roasted meat wasn't fresh.

They were all professionally trained knights, and they could endure the slight abdominal pain. However, after taking the potion, their condition did not improve, and the churning pain in their abdomen even worsened, which made them realize that something was wrong.

The burning sensation in my stomach felt like a poisoned steel needle piercing through my blood vessels and into my limbs and bones. My blood vessels turned black at a visible speed, and like poisonous insects, they crawled and spread under my pale, cold skin, spreading out from my abdomen and climbing all the way up my chest to my neck and face.

"Barbecued meat is poisonous!"

Inside the treehouse, Medici was drenched in sweat, her pretty face deathly pale.

"No, I ate the barbecue too..."

Oujia lifted Medis's shirt, staring at the black veins writhing on her smooth abdomen. Her eyes gleamed, and she turned to look at the fruit platter on the wooden table: "The problem isn't the roast meat, but the local specialties that the Natural Holy Court has carefully prepared."

If I remember correctly, before she could even enjoy it, the entire plate of fruit was gone.

My dear sister, thank goodness you're a glutton!

"Holy Maiden, you... used me as a test for poison?" Medici's face turned even paler, and her lips lost their rosy hue.

"Idiot, at this point you should be asking whether the Natural Holy Court was the one who poisoned them?"

Ou Jia rolled her eyes at her silly sisters, then took a deep breath. Sweat beaded on her forehead, and her stray hairs at her temples were instantly soaked and stuck to her cheeks. She looked as disheveled as if she had been pulled out of the water.

When faced with an uncertain situation, it's best to play it safe first.

Ou Jia's acting is on point; she slightly hunches her back, presses one hand firmly against her abdomen, furrows her brow, and displays just the right amount of pain on her face, as well as the restraint required to maintain her saintly image.

The only thing that can't be imitated is the pale complexion.

Fortunately, she had a good foundation; her skin was originally milky white, so it wouldn't be unreasonable to say that she was in so much pain that her face turned white.

Ou Jia staggered to the window and saw that most of her knights had been hit. Her face darkened, and when she looked around the camp, she saw that the dozens of Holy See members were in even worse shape. Her expression became even more unpleasant.

The Natural Holy See, in order to deceive the Church of Dawn, didn't even spare its own knights (×)

It has nothing to do with the Natural Holy Court; the poisoners will be apprehended in one fell swoop. (√)

It's related to the Natural Holy Court; the poisoner is a traitor to the Natural Holy Court. (√)

The two churches had no enmity and had little contact before. Ou Jia couldn't analyze much in a short time. After observing the situation, she immediately began to detoxify Medis.

After being fed a bunch of bottles and jars, Medis became even more poisoned, rolling her eyes and spitting bubbles.

"Pop pop pop pop—"

"..."

Ou Jia remained silent and quietly collected the remaining bottles and jars.

Based on her on-site investigation and verification, the toxins were of a strange type, extremely corrosive, and not a curse, nor related to the unpopular Three Sin Gods faith magic.

If the antidote doesn't work, then let's try magic.

Since Medici is already in this state, things can't get any worse.

This experiment actually helped Ou Jia find a way to suppress the toxins.

Solar Magic!

The light created by solar magic can effectively remove toxins, but because the toxins are so efficient at eroding and regenerate so quickly, they can only have a suppressive effect and cannot be eradicated in a short period of time.

Oja was extremely annoyed. If he had noticed it earlier and unleashed a few solar spells on Medis before the poison spread from her abdomen, such as Corona Impact or Radiant Pierce, Medis wouldn't be in so much pain now.

On the other side, Delight encountered the same situation.
