Team Formation

Solaya had been waiting for this moment. With the power that Verridern had just transmitted, she could now control the closure of the passage. Verridern had always been confident in his own strength and did not believe that he could not deal with a mere evil god. However, Solaya was well aware of the insurmountable gap between herself and the gods, and knew that she could not underestimate any deity.

So, as soon as the Primal Godmother's severed hand entered the passage, Sorea closed it. With the disappearance of the passage, this part of the Primal Godmother's power was completely lost at the intersection of the inner world and the real world.

Verridern hadn't expected to be outmaneuvered by the evil god, and his expression turned grim. But he knew now was not the time to destroy the original Godmother's authority. He concealed the ferocity in his eyes and examined the injuries on Solaya's body.

"I'm fine, you should hurry up too." Sorea refused Verridern's touch, pulling away the moment He reached out to her.

Verridern understood that Solaya's current wariness of Him stemmed from his previous delirium and confusion, and He did not demand that Solaya forgive His past actions.

"Look at our child!" Verridern handed the child in his arms to Solaya. Tarasi's awakening was approaching its most crucial moment, and he could not leave Verridern's side for even a moment.

Hearing the child's breathing, Solaya forgot her own pain and instinctively wanted to touch Tarasi's soft cheek, but reason stopped her. Solaya desperately told herself not to get close to Tarasi. She was afraid that if she got close to the child, she would lose the courage to carry out her plan.

“Take him with you. If you don’t leave, this place can’t return to the real world.” Sorea finally suppressed her longing for her child and coldly told Verridern to leave.

Solaya's words darkened Verridern's eyes. He understood Solaya's hatred for him, but he couldn't understand why Solaya could be so heartless as to refuse to see her own child. Was it because she resented him so much that she hated their child?

"You're still injured. I'll heal you before I leave." Verridern looked at the blood still trickling from Solaya's mouth and spoke with heartache. Before Solaya could answer, he used his divine power to circulate within her body and heal her.

Solaya tried to yell at Verridern to drive her away, but found her voice was sealed. After struggling in vain, she could only let Verridern heal her. Solaya's mind and body were already overloaded, and under the gentle nourishment of divine power, she gradually fell into a deep sleep.

When Veldrian saw Solaya about to collapse, he held her in his arms and gently placed a solemn kiss on her forehead.

Seeing Tarasi and Solaya in his arms, Veldrian wished time could stand still at this moment.

Veldrian sensed a familiar force approaching from afar, and began to urge vines to grow, weaving them into a blanket. He then gently placed Solaya on the blanket.

Seeing Solaya sleeping peacefully as her injuries improved, Veldrian was completely relieved, then looked at the people lying haphazardly on the ground.

A rich, life-giving divine power enveloped them and healed their wounds.

"Aya, wait for me." After doing everything, Veldrian took one last deep look at Solaya and left.

The familiar force that Veldrian sensed in the distance was Kellis, who was desperately rushing towards them.

He received a message from Solaya and, fearing something might happen to her, he left a few days before Dagmore and headed towards the Singri Inscription Academy.

Kellis never expected that he would see many high-ranking knights rushing towards the academy as soon as he stepped into the gates of the Knights Guild headquarters.

He casually asked what was wrong, and then he heard that an evil god had descended upon the academy, and several students, teachers, and parents were trapped in the inner world.

Kelice felt that he was the only one here who could fight against the evil god, and that if he encountered an evil god that he could not defeat, he could call upon his father god to descend upon him. He decided to go and deal with the evil god himself.

Halfway there, Kelly saw a female knight who was running even faster than him, urging her teammates on as she ran:

"Lady Sorea is in trouble! Run faster!"

This female knight was none other than Anne, who was still on vacation at the Knights' Guild headquarters.

Upon hearing Soraya's name, Kelly felt a sudden daze, then ran desperately toward her destination.

Sorea woke up the following evening. She was awakened by thirst and mumbled, "Water, water, water."

Kelly helped Solia up and carefully fed her water. After drinking the water, Solia regained her senses completely: "How are Louis and Euan?"

Sorea sat up abruptly and grabbed Kelly's hand to ask a question.

“Don’t you even look around? They’re all lying right next to you.” Kelly manually turned Sorea’s head to the left.

Seeing her two younger brothers unharmed, Sorea then asked the others.

“No one else was directly attacked by the evil god; they all woke up this morning. Also, how did you end up with the pirates? If it weren’t for the other people testifying that you were friends, I would have killed that female pirate on the spot.” Kelly stared at Sorea, scrutinizing every expression on her face.

"It's that lady, your ex-husband, isn't he? Luckily he arrived in time, otherwise none of you would have survived. Let's see if you dare to take the risk again." Kelly tapped Soraya's forehead and said angrily.

Sorea looked indifferent, too lazy to listen to Kelly's rambling: "I'm fine, aren't I? You weren't this worried about me when I was a kid."

Kelly snorted coldly: "If Mother Goddess were here, I certainly wouldn't be worried about you. Now, hmph!"

A god can only descend upon his believers, which is also the greatest way for a divine child to protect himself. Among the five of them, only Soraya worships the god of fate, which means that she is the one most likely to be in trouble.

Last night's situation was purely due to Louis and Euan panicking; neither of them thought of asking Talmawen to descend, otherwise Veldrian wouldn't have had the chance to save the day.

Another night passed, and Louis and Euan also arrived. It was three days later that Kelly confirmed that the three of them had fully recovered and could be discharged from the hospital.

The three of them lay in bed for four or five days, their bones stiffening. They found a place with Edward, Lilith, and Vivian to recount what happened that night.

"My dear Solaya, your brother is so fierce, he almost killed me." Lilith rushed to Solaya for comfort when she saw her appear. But in reality, Lilith was feeling Solaya's body to check how her injuries were healing. That night had really scared her to death.

Sorea smiled and comforted her, "It's alright, it's alright."

"I'm sorry everyone, I didn't expect asking for your help would involve an evil god." Yu An stood up and apologized with shame.

Louis pulled Euan up: "This has nothing to do with you, it's all those despicable heretics!"

Others echoed his sentiments.

“This was directed at me, so I should be the one apologizing,” Sorea said calmly.

Lilith, Louis, and Euan, who knew her identity, frowned. They already knew that Soraya had been assassinated not long ago, while the other two, who were unaware of the truth, looked at Soraya with concern.

"It's all in the past now, but I need your help with something." Louis's naturally carefree personality meant he never kept anything to himself in his dorm room.

Sorea looked at him with a puzzled expression, waiting for his request.

Louis, holding Euan with his left hand and Vivian with his right, said, "One of our graduation requirements is to go to the Knights' Guild for practical experience. The three of us can't get along with other people, and we can't find a team of six."

Sorea looked shocked: "You're not saying that the six of us will form a team, are you?!"

“That’s right.” Louis nodded affirmatively.

After hearing this, Yu'an kicked Louis: "Is this the solution you came up with?"

Vivian's eyes lit up after hearing this: "Louis, you really are a genius."

“I am your teacher,” Edward objected.

Then Louis retorted, "Does the school have any rules against teaming up with teachers? You have your own team of knights, why can't you?"

"I'm a centenarian, are you trying to abuse an elderly person?!" Sorea's voice rang out.

"There's no age limit for forming a team!" Louis said nonchalantly.

Under Louis's persistent pleading, Solaya had no choice but to agree to his request. When Lilith saw that Solaya agreed, she also agreed.

Seeing that none of the four people had any objections, Edward and Euan had no choice but to agree to team up.

The six then arrived at the Knights' headquarters to register as a team, and their team number was quickly determined to be Team 9938353.

New squads joining the Knights' Guild are required to complete a mission before their names can be officially engraved on the guild's monument.

The missions range from one star to five stars, with higher star ratings indicating greater difficulty. Five-star missions are linked to evil gods.

Only squads with three stars or higher can have their own codenames for their knight squads.

Because of the accident a few days ago, Solaya and her companions did not want to provoke Kelice's wrath, and in order to ensure the mission could be completed successfully, they only accepted a one-star mission: to investigate a steel mill that had not given its employees a break for half a month.

"Why would something like this happen in a Knights' Order mission!" Lilith had always thought that the Knights' Order managed things in a high-class and prestigious way.

“That’s not surprising. This kind of mission is normal. Our local knightly order even has missions to find pet cats.” Of the group, only Vivian grew up in a small city with a knightly order. She knew very well that the knightly order truly cared for the people in every way, so her lifelong wish was to join the knightly order.

“Then let’s go,” Sorea said with a smile, also infected by their joy.

Kelly was very satisfied that they only accepted one-star missions and didn't care about her happy younger siblings. But no one expected that this one-star mission would eventually become a five-star mission.
