Chapter 113 Chapter 31 Temple Knight (Part 2)
Miss Verafia also raised her eyes to observe the Temple Knight in the silver armor and white defense.
Long before Verafia made a move against Commander Knight Org, she had already sensed his presence. Otherwise, at her current level, without resorting to her true form, she would have no hope of defeating a Crystal Rank knight.
“Miss Verafia!”
A certain young man’s voice, still tinged with pain, caused Verafia to turn her head slightly.
Iget had already struggled to get up from the ground, but the pain in his body still made him grimace, clearly in great discomfort.
Even with the protection Verafia had applied, Iget had taken quite a few blows from the impact of the battle. Fortunately, there were no major injuries to his entire body.
Seeing this, Verafia reassuredly withdrew her gaze, placed her small hands on her slender waist, and said with a wronged and unhappy expression, “Iget, look at that detestable scoundrel! Not only did he falsely accuse this young lady of being an accomplice to the vampire, but he also deliberately humiliated me!”
Iget was speechless for a moment.
Young Lady, have you forgotten that you just said you intentionally let that vampire escape? And your actions just now were clearly entrapment!
—Of course, Iget was obviously not stupid enough to offend his Young Lady at this moment.
“Miss, it is regrettable that you have encountered such unpleasant matters. On behalf of the Sacred Light Church of Rubiel, I offer you our apologies.”
The young knight, who had removed his helmet to reveal a handsome face, possessed a powerful aura, and had golden hair and blue eyes, approached them and spoke.
The knight’s gaze paused on the black-haired youth for a moment, a flicker of thought crossing his eyes, then landed on the girl beside him.
Verafia held her staff and raised her exquisite face to look at the knight’s face. After thinking for a moment, she spoke.
“I heard that person say you are a knight of the Church… were you called Evik?”
“Indeed, it is I. Miss Verafia, this is my knight’s insignia, which records my identity and position.”
Upon approaching, seeing the exquisite beauty revealed on the girl’s face when she looked up, Evik was briefly surprised, but quickly collected himself.
After Evik handed over the insignia representing his identity, he placed his armored hand on his chest, drew his sword, and performed the most standard knightly greeting.
“Temple Knight…”
Verafia lightly touched the silver sword insignia handed to her, and her raised gaze fell upon the knight’s face.
The information represented by the insignia Evik handed over was that of a most ordinary Temple Knight, with no special rank or position. However, Verafia obviously did not believe this to be the knight’s true identity.
Returning the knight’s insignia, Verafia lowered her head and thought for another moment. The Temple Knight’s voice echoed in her ears.
“However, for a Mage like Miss Verafia, who is so exceptionally beautiful and possesses such powerful strength at such a young age, there are likely very few people in the entire world who can match you.”
“May I be so fortunate as to know your lineage and surname?”
Evik’s azure blue eyes looked towards the girl before him, his voice as gentle as jade, filled with praise.
“Eh, you’re asking me?”
Verafia raised her little face in surprise, seeing the clear azure blue eyes of the other person, her fingers nervously fiddled with the corner of her skirt.
“Hmm… As for this young lady, of course, I learned everything myself. As for family and lineage, absolutely none!”
Evik’s face remained without reply, but a smile appeared.
Naturally, he did not believe the girl’s words. Just as he was thinking in his heart, this girl, who was so impossibly beautiful, was clearly not ordinary.
Of course, Evik did not rush to question further.
Since this mysterious girl was unwilling to reveal her origins and had not caused any harm, Evik naturally had no reason to force her to speak.
“Regardless, I am glad that Miss was not harmed by him.”
Iget looked at the expression on the Temple Knight’s face and naturally knew that the other party did not believe Verafia’s words, so he couldn’t help but shrug.
This little phoenix finally spoke a truth this afternoon, why shouldn’t people believe her?
Verafia’s voice rang out.
“Oh, and one more thing… what is the identity of that knight named Orghels?”
The girl’s voice was clear and melodious like a bell, as beautiful as a lark’s song, but it was mixed with obvious resentment, showing that she still held a grudge against that person.
“You speak of him? Compared to Miss Verafia’s brilliant radiance, this Orghels is merely an insignificant nobody.”
“A nobody?”
“Lord Orghels started as a personal attendant to Lord Linton. Although he currently serves as Rubiel’s Cavalry Commander, there are many people who surpass him in terms of military might, merit, virtue, and troop management.”
Evik turned his face and said. Disdain flickered in his eyes, clearly showing that he held contempt and hostility towards Orghels as well.
“Miss Verafia, I’m afraid you’ll laugh, but the reason Lord Orghels has been able to maintain his position all this time is simply due to Lord Linton’s trust and support… However, individuals like this merely consume Lord Linton’s own reputation.”
Verafia gazed at the eloquent young knight, a flicker of thought in her large eyes, trying to glean something from his words. She noticed the flicker of apprehension in his eyes when he mentioned “Linton.”
Verafia immediately lifted her doll-like, porcelain-white, beautiful little face, her pearly teeth biting her delicate lips in an expression of indignant injustice.
“Then… why did this person treat this young lady like this? Clearly, I didn’t offend him!”
“Perhaps it’s simply because our Lord Orghels, with Count Linton backing him, has become too accustomed to being lawless.”
Evik shook his head. He suddenly looked at the girl’s exquisite face.
“But I think the main reason might be that he was momentarily captivated by your beauty…”
“Miss Verafia, to be frank, from my understanding of Lord Orghels, he doesn’t possess much resistance to girls your age. I’ve only been in Rubiel City for a few months, and I’ve heard rumors more than once.”
The knight who had angered his Young Lady, that huge brute, was also a pedophile?
Iget, thinking of the potential bloody scene, suddenly felt unable to bear watching.
“This hateful scum… Dammit, I really regret not burning him to death with a single flame!”
Beside Iget, Verafia clenched her small fists tightly, her lowered porcelain-white, delicate face flushing with shame and anger.
Clearly, Miss Verafia also realized that the humiliation she might have suffered, as described by Evik, had caused her great anger!
Evik suddenly spoke.
“Miss Verafia, I believe you must have recorded Orghels’ actions earlier.”
Although they were far apart previously, Evik had clearly witnessed Verafia handing the recording crystal to Iget.
