Chapter 42

Looking at the dozens of fierce-looking saint knights, Chu Nan started to doubt whether he should have slept through the entire day. Why did he encounter the exact same situation of getting encircled with swords pointed at him two times in a day?

All of a sudden, the ground below them shook and sounds of horse galloping could be heard coming closer. In the distance, one could see Efran leading his team of knights to the scene of the disturbance.

When he saw the saintess, Efran got down from his horse and walked towards her with a mock concerned expression. With that textbook smile of nobles, he opened with, “Beautiful Carlina, what has happened here? Please allow me, your guardian knight, to share your burden.”

“Respected Viscount Efran.” Carlina calmly said, “Please do not address yourself as my guardian knight. That would be a bother to me, thank you.”

The saint knights behind her and those citizens, who had knelt down to pray, had all cast Efran a loathing glare.

There were many different knight ranks that were bestowed in the Shenyuan Continent, and among all of them, the rank of guardian knight was somewhat special. In a certain aspect, guardian knights were not exactly real knights, but instead, it was another term of address for someone’s other half. If the male party was not the female’s guardian knight and yet, he addressed himself as such, it would be regarded as a method of courting. This type of courting method was also more popular among the nobles.

Unabashed by the rejection, Efran still showed an elegant smile. Evidently, it was not his first time to have been rejected by the saintness. However, no matter how many times he was rejected, he would never give up on such a beautiful saintess like her as his potential wife.

Surprisingly, the saintesses of the Temple of Light were allowed to marry, and precisely due to that, there were many nobles in Dulraze Country that would regard the two saintesses as an object of their sexual desire. As such, they would do everything in their capabilities to try to obtain them.

Just the thought of him playing around with a body surrounded by a pure aura all day long, and the picturesque scene of the saintess lying on his while gasping sweetly, Efran’s blood immediately started to boil with excitement.

“What happened?” But his pursuit of ‘love’ had to be postponed as he had a more serious issue to deal with. With that in mind, Efran changed his fawning expression to one of high nobility and asked the surrounding saint knights. “As the commander-in-chief of Dolunga City, I hope that you will properly recount what had happened.”

One of the saint knights furrowed his brows at the rude tone but still pointed at Chu Nan. “This blasphemous man had used the hand gestures that only the pope and the saintesses are allowed to use, when he prayed.”

“What?!” Efran widened his eyes and cheered in his heart! He had finally found an opportunity to show his heroic side in front of the saintess.

“Eh? It’s the three of you?” When Efran shifted his eyes over to the person in question, he was mildly surprised. He still remembered these three were the one he had just kidn… brought back into the city.

Efran remembering them was not due to him having a good memory, but instead their appearances were just too unique to forget.

One of them was a mixed blood elf that was so devastatingly handsome, another one was a barbarian that was over two meters tall while dressed in animal skin. Lastly, there was the female druid who was also dressed in a similar fashion but she exuded a wild and sexy aura.

Even for someone like Efran who had encountered numerous beauties, he had to admit that the sexiness of the female druid was something he had not seen before.

If he could get those two beauties on his bed… forget it! The thought that Catherine might have already been infected with the disease made him abandon that tempting plan.

When Efran saw Chu Nan, a mixed blood that was much superior in the aspects of appearance, it had already incurred his dislike. When he thought that Chu Nan might have already enjoyed that sexy female druid, oil was added into the flames of jealousy raging in his heart.

“Even though Dulraze Country’s laws do not deal with crimes of blasphemy against the God of Light, the Temple of Light still has dispatched the saintess to assist us in times of the epidemic. Therefore, I shall use my identity as the commander-in-chief to announce their execution by decapitation. It can be considered as my repayment towards the Temple of Light for their duly assistance.”

‘Decapitation?’ Chu Nan blanked out by the word, and his two bodyguards immediately stood out to protect him when they heard the threats coming their way.

Even the knights donned excellent armor had to consider the consequences when faced against a 2.5 meter tall barbarian wielding a huge stone hammer that weighed around a couple hundred pounds.

The knights who came to the Dolunga City were basically all aristocrats. Compared to the valiant act of killing the enemy on the battlefield to gain military achievements with their lives at stake, it was much safer to head towards Dolunga City and look after the civilians.

Although their backgrounds were not as influential as Efran’s family, they were still aristocrats. Who of them would not be interested in the saintess? Showing off their prestige in front of beautiful ladies was something they enjoyed, but it was no fun if they needed to get pummeled by a barbarian to do so. Plus, no one was willing to volunteer themselves for Efran to earn points before the saintness.

For a moment, the scene was in a stalemate.

Carlina was not fond of Efran and if not for the fact that Chu Nan had desecrated the God of Light, she would have already spoken up to speak on her own behalf. Under the numerous years of influence from the Temple of Light, Catherine had already regarded it as her everything.

When Lin Nianbing realized the situation was not getting better, he, who had led Chu Nan, quickly informed him of what crimes he had committed.

When he heard his explanation, Chu Nan shook his head helplessly with a bitter smile and thought, ‘As what I had mentioned before, it is a must to understand the religion, belief and social system of this continent! I am ashamed of this careless mistake I made!’

When Efran saw that no one went forward after his decree was said, he lightly coughed, raised his longsword and shouted, “Knights of Dolunga City!”

“Yes!” Dozens of knights responded at the same time, causing the atmosphere to greatly change as the aura of killing intent flooded the entire street.

Roar!

In response, Shanz released a , causing the civilians to suddenly feel dizzy whilst dozens of warhorses moved around restlessly, and many of those knights who were on to top of the warhorses felt their ears buzzing.

The huge stone hammer then heavily smashed onto the ground, causing a loud sound wave to echo out. From that one strike, Efran’s eyes twitched in disbelief.

‘A Human Realm expert?’ Efran looked at Shanz in disbelief. Why was a random barbarian who came out from the Chaos Forest so powerful? If he was so strong, then what realm was that female druid at? As for that mixed blood who was obviously the leader of the trio, what kind of expert would he be?
