"Xiao Han, the despair that resounds in the bitter cold of winter, the flute music that flows out when fate meets you, is this your final regret?"

The goddess sighed softly.

In her original plan, Xiao Han, who had accidentally obtained the Red Lotus inheritance and possessed the bloodline of a Holy Knight, was originally intended to infiltrate the Hall of Heroes and do undercover work.

However, unexpected events occurred frequently. With the intervention of the Holy Lord's forces, although the great enemy was destroyed, Xiao Han disappeared for more than ten years. When he was discovered again, he had inexplicably become the Demon King.

Subsequently, she orchestrated a scheme, using the avatar of the God of Calamity to lure Xiao Han into the trap step by step, verifying his identity, adjusting his mission, and ultimately making him the first heroic soul of the God-Slaying Blade.

However, the avatar named Minise still retained its self-awareness and lacked control, almost ruining the grand plan.

"Fine, let them take their course. The deeper their bond becomes in the future, the better it will be for me."

"A great battle is about to begin..."

"You're looking forward to it too, aren't you, Honglian..."

...

Deslanca.

One of the subordinate forces of Valhalla—the Knights' Temple.

"Ah, even you, Sage... couldn't figure it out?"

Inside the magnificent hall, a spirited young woman with her hair tied in a bun blinked her cool blue eyes and said with disappointment.

She was tall, only slightly shorter than an average adult man, and wore holy-patterned armor that only elites could equip. A look of regret appeared on her pretty face.

"I'm very sorry, perhaps it's because the boundary wall has been strengthened, or perhaps there aren't enough clues, but my precognitive spell didn't work."

The white-robed sage on the main seat twitched at the corner of his mouth and glanced at the medal on the girl's shoulder.

A crimson moon mark stood out prominently, shimmering with a bloody light, revealing the identity of the newcomer.

Those who possess this mark are generally heroes who have successfully defeated the Demon King and have a high chance of entering Valhalla and receiving the inheritance of heroic souls.

Having resided in the Knights' Temple for over a century, this was the first time he had witnessed a novice hero acquire this level of authority in less than six months.

What infuriated him even more was that the Temple Master of the Knights Temple had proposed to appoint her as the Young Temple Master a few days ago, clearly grooming her as a successor.

Moreover, this hero's growth rate was simply phenomenal. Half a year later, his injuries from traversing the boundary stabilized, and he actually broke through to the seventh level of the Gold Realm.

Damn it, even checkers isn't this outrageous!

You've only just turned 20, miss!

This growth rate is almost on par with the monsters in Valhalla!

"boom!"

Suddenly, a golden aura swirled around the knight girl, drawing everyone's attention.

The white-robed sage was startled and immediately stood up, causing the table to tremble a few times.

"Again?!"

He had the illusion that he had wasted a lot of his life on dogs.

Having lived for five hundred years, he naturally wouldn't be mistaken; this was a sign of a breakthrough.

What the hell do you take the breakthroughs of superhumans for?!

Despite his complaints, he raised his hand and shot out a beam of white light, which transformed into a protective barrier, allowing Evelyn to break through with peace of mind.

Enough said. From now on, you're the future Lord of the Knights, and this old man will follow you.

"Pfft... I didn't see that wrong, did I!"

"This, this is a sign of a breakthrough?"

"Wait a minute, I remember she was building the third Golden Combat System, she's aiming for the third stage of [Forbidden Hand]!!"

They came to hand in their mission but were sensed by a faint aura in the hall. A group of paladins walked in, stared blankly at the knight girl's apparent breakthrough for a moment, and then began to discuss in hushed tones.

"What exactly is it that she is protecting that gives her such unwavering will to protect, driving her to constantly break through barriers?!"

“I remember, she was brought in by Alexander…”

"Speaking of that scoundrel Alexander, he was seen enjoying a life of luxury with his wife on the streets the other day, and he's even considering buying a villa in Bilan Bay... How despicable!"

"Damn it, that bastard! He was so arrogant in front of me at the party last week. So what if she's a student?! Let her officially enter the Hall of Heroes first!"

As they were talking, everyone suddenly started cursing a certain old bastard who was eating barbecue, saying that the price of vegetables would always go up.

However, the Knights' Temple cherished this outstanding talent and took good care of him.

Finally, after only an hour, Evelyn opened her eyes.

She apologized to the group of powerful figures, explaining that she had not succeeded in breaking through and had instead suffered some minor injuries, requiring rest and recuperation.

The group enthusiastically donated a batch of medical supplies and tried to sow discord between Evelyn and Alexander, hoping to win the girl over.

The girl gave an awkward smile and returned home amidst the respectful entourage of the knights.

Her home was a house allocated to her by the temple lord, located in an upper-class noble district.

"Even the Temple Sages couldn't predict it, so he should be safe now."

Evelyn removed her armor, put on a loose shirt, and let her long, flowing blonde hair fall down, covering large areas of her skin, making her look a bit more feminine.

She touched a badly damaged crescent moon pendant. The mechanics in the temple worked hard to repair it, and they managed to erase some of the damage left by the boundary wall.

The photos inside were completely withered and moldy.

but……

The girl lay on the bed, her blonde hair cascading down, and her small hand pulled out a square phone.

The screen lit up, and under the faint glow, the restored photo was revealed and saved.

Deslanca's technological level has reached a level that amazes other continents.

"If you were here, it would be quite nice for us to live in a place like this."
