There's a big problem with dreams in this world.

After a pause, Verena said in a slightly lower voice, "What you're doing is going to cause me trouble."

"What?" Myron asked, somewhat puzzled.

"You could have killed him without anyone noticing, so why did it turn out like this?" Verena didn't answer Myron's question, but instead raised her voice and asked in return.

"Um... I saw people abusing civilians in the castle dungeon, and I couldn't help myself..."

"My God, do you think you're a knight? How could you risk mission failure to save those people?" Verena couldn't help but say after hearing Myron's words.

“I am confident that I can save them and complete the mission at the same time. Teacher, would you really just stand by and watch them die in this situation?” Knight Myron couldn’t help but ask after hearing Verena’s words.

“Of course…” Verena blushed, then whispered, “I will, I will save them…”

"Hehe, I knew it." Knight Myron touched his nose somewhat embarrassedly. He knew about the curse on Velena that prevented her from lying, and he also believed that Velena would do the same thing as him.

"Then, then you should have been more careful. If it were me, I would never have exposed myself," Verena said hastily after hearing Knight Myron's words, her blush still fresh.

Overwhelmed with excitement, Verena's chest heaved slightly, drawing the attention of Knight Myron.

"Look, what are you looking at..." Verena noticed Knight Myron's gaze, and the blush that had just faded rose again, but she didn't reach out to block it or say anything.

"No, it's nothing," Knight Myron said somewhat embarrassedly, having been noticed by the gaze.

Lu Qing: "......."

Suddenly, she felt both full and greasy. Lu Qing felt that if the Knights of Myron attacked at this moment, there was almost a 90% chance of success.

The reason for saying 90% is that Verena cannot lie. Lu Qing believes that Verena does like Knight Myron, and as long as Knight Myron dares to say it, success is guaranteed. The 10% decrease is to prevent any unforeseen circumstances; perhaps Verena will say nothing and run away.

However, this reminded Lu Qing of something that was somewhat troubling: at the end of her last memory, there was a memory in Myron's heart that seemed to be very important to him.

Verena once said she liked Knight Myron, but later added that she was joking...

Thinking of Verena's curse that prevents her from lying, Lu Qing felt something was off. Weren't these two sentences contradictory?

Verena, who can only speak the truth, shouldn't be able to say both of these things at the same time.

If she didn't like Sir Myron, she wouldn't have said she liked him; if she did like Sir Myron, she wouldn't have said the previous sentence was a joke.

So what exactly is the problem here?

Is there something wrong with Verena's curse, or is Knight Myron just mistaken?

Before Lu Qing could figure out what went wrong, Knight Myron's memory ended there.

Afterwards, Knight Myron received many more missions from Velena, but since these missions didn't seem to be any precious memories for Knight Myron, Lu Qing only saw the process of accepting the missions.

She didn't know exactly how the task was completed, but judging from the conversation between Knight Myron and Velena, his method of completing the task was... quite unique.

For example, if a nobleman wanted to be assassinated, Knight Myron would carry a greatsword and stop him on the city street. After a barrage of extremely foul language, the nobleman would be so enraged that he would send his men to kill him.

Then, after killing the opponent's subordinates with a whirlwind slash, he successfully killed the nobleman.

On another occasion, he was tasked with assassinating a knight. He went directly to the knight's doorstep, challenged him, and hung the knight's weapon on his own wall.

He then defeated his opponent during the challenge.

It's not about the success rate of completing the task, it's just that the method is somewhat... unconventional.

About two years later, one day, after Sir Myron returned from an assassination mission, he found that Velena looked anxious and didn't even notice that he was standing not far from her.

"Velena?" Knight Myron called out Valena's name with some confusion.

"Huh? Mai, Myron, when did you get back?" Verena asked, somewhat flustered.

"What's wrong with you?" Sir Myron asked as he entered the room, somewhat puzzled.

“Um…” After a pause, Verena sighed and said, “It’s related to people above me, and it’s giving me a bit of a headache.”

"Clap!" Verena clapped her hands, a smile suddenly appearing on her face, and said, "Let's not talk about that now, I have a gift for you."

"A gift?" Sir Myron asked, somewhat puzzled.

"Wait me a moment......"

Verena slowly bent down and pulled a huge black wooden box from under the table in the room.

"boom!"

She placed the wooden box on the table, pushed it in front of Knight Myron, and said with great anticipation, "Open it and take a look." Although it was a gift from her to Knight Myron, Verena seemed to be even more excited than Knight Myron himself.

"What exactly is that?"

Knight Myron opened the box with some curiosity, and a silver-white circular shield with an intricate cloud pattern on its surface appeared before his eyes.

Chapter 555: The Dream Weaver

"So that's how Knight Myron's shield came to be?" Lu Qing stood beside the Knight Myron from her memory, looking at the exquisite shield in the box and thinking.

"This is..." Knight Myron looked at Velena with some confusion, wondering why she would give him a shield.

While he certainly liked the shield, he was an assassin, not a knight.

Verena knew exactly what Knight Myron was thinking, so she explained to him, "Once you complete another mission, you will no longer be a Shadow Assassin."

"Because of your performance, and with my application, you will be transferred soon."

"Where will I be transferred to?" Sir Myron already had the answer in his heart, but he still couldn't help asking.

“Of course it’s the Knights’ Camp. Haven’t you always wanted to be a knight?” Verena smiled gently as she looked at Knight Myron.

"..." Knight Myron opened his mouth in surprise. He had gotten what he had always wanted, but for some reason, he didn't feel much happiness.

Ultimately, becoming a knight was just a childhood dream. Now, after killing countless people as a shadow assassin, he no longer wants to be a knight.

You always have to choose between dreams and reality, and reality is always easier to accept, especially when there's a beautiful teacher here.

Knight Myron wasn't exactly a decisive person, but he was by no means cowardly. Knowing that once he left, he would likely never see Velena again, he decisively took action.

“Velena, I really like the gift…” Knight Myron gently ran his hand over the patterns on the surface of the silver-white round shield, then suddenly changed the subject, “However, compared to the shield…”

I like you more.

Knight Myron tried to keep his eyes calm as he looked at Velena, but his heart was pounding. He looked at Velena, who seemed to be in a daze, and slowly extended his right hand to grasp hers.

Verena took a step forward as if possessed, but then she gently stepped back.

"I... I'm not ready yet. Can I have some time to prepare?" Verena blushed slightly and tugged at her collar, seemingly not wanting Knight Myron to see the corners of her mouth that she couldn't help but smile.

“Of course…” Knight Myron paused for a moment, his momentum waning.

This confession had already taken a lot of his courage, and as a future knight, how could he refuse when the girl asked him to prepare for some time?

"Tomorrow, tomorrow." Verena called out softly as she watched the departing Knight Myron.

Knight Myron stopped, his gaze burning as he looked at Velena.

“Tomorrow, tomorrow…” Verena seemed to have lost her courage under the scorching gaze of Knight Myron. After hesitating for a long time, she said, “Someone will give you the next task tomorrow night. Wait, wait until then, and I’ll give you the result, okay?”

“…Alright.” Although he was a little disappointed, Knight Myron still smiled brightly.

"After this mission is over..." Knight Myron's eyes seemed to be flashing with fire. Never before had he felt such enthusiasm for a mission.

"Let's finish the mission as soon as possible and then go back," Knight Myron thought to himself.

"..."

Memories slowly shattered, and the entire space became nothingness, leaving only Lu Qing's spiritual body within it.

"If I remember correctly, Sir Myron doesn't have a wife," Lu Qing thought with slightly complicated feelings.

She didn't know if Sir Myron had been rejected or if something unexpected had happened, but if she could, she would very much like to help Sir Myron, but that was clearly impossible.

Because the mask contains the memories of Knight Myron, things that have already happened and cannot be changed.

So all she could do was watch from there, unable to do anything.

"Huh?" Lu Qing looked at the gradually returning light with some surprise: "Is the memory not over yet?"

......

"rustle......."

His clothes rubbed against the grass as Knight Myron cautiously crept towards the edge of the woods.

This was his last mission as a Shadow Assassin. His objective was to track down and assassinate a Guiji Sect spy who had been discovered within the Shadow Assassins. Based on the traces he had observed as he continued to track them down, he suspected that more than one Shadow Assassin was pursuing him.

The two sides had fought many battles in the wild, but in the end only the wounded Shadow Assassin was left. The opponent must be very anxious at this time, otherwise he would not have had time to finish off the enemy.

Slightly sniffing, Knight Myron gradually caught a whiff of slightly pungent blood in the air. If everything was as he suspected, the cultist from the Guiji Sect must have been injured, which was why he had to rest here.

After gently stroking the shield on his back twice, Knight Myron's eyes gradually hardened.

"No one can stop me from completing this mission today!"

"This undercover agent... could it be Verena?" Lu Qing thought with a slight sense of unease.

"It can't be that cliché, right?" "Could it be that Verena will die at the hands of Knight Myron?" "Isn't this plot too stupid?"

Lu Qing couldn't help but feel a little anxious. Regardless of how old-fashioned this was, she would feel quite upset if she actually saw such a scene.

And so, with a slightly complicated expression, Lu Qing watched as Knight Myron came up behind the Guiji cultist.

Perhaps because he was too tired, or perhaps for some other reason, the Guiji Cultist who was resting against the big tree did not notice the arrival of Knight Myron.

"At least take a look!"

"How could you be so stupid as to be a Guiji Sect spy lurking among the Shadow Assassins? Didn't you think things through?"

Lu Qing was so anxious, it was like watching an anime protagonist's cowardly behavior or a game streamer's incredible skills, causing her blood pressure to spike.

It's just a memory behind a mask, can't I even change it?!

The thought couldn't help but cross Lu Qing's mind. Suddenly, her entire memory world froze, and Lu Qing sensed a strange power, the source of which was...

[Transcendent Sequence: Nightmare LV10]

The diary suddenly began to shake violently, so violently that Lu Qing even thought for a moment that the diary was broken. Fortunately, after shaking for a while, a few lines of text slowly appeared on the diary.
