303 Marriage-Problem Solving Exper (1/2)

”It’s really a reverse image.”

When they finally went out of the castle, Wang Lu sighed with emotion.

”From a degenerate city master who colluded with Holy Light Religion to a ‘suffering in silence while propping up the sky alone for the Dragon blood’ hero who was already well past his time, Bedivere is indeed a real man!”

During the last part of their conversation, Bedivere’s hint was already obvious enough.

Suppressing the strength of the Dragon blood was a necessity, because whenever a Dragon blood reached a sufficiently high strength, they would be harvested. The Dragon City Guard selection ceremony in Golden Flash Town has been held for more than forty years, but now, the oldest Dragon blood in Dragon City Guard only came from the selection ceremony twenty-one years ago.

Where were all of the Dragon blood prior to that? Although according to hearsays some have retired, the other joined secret service and many other rumors… but who actually has ever seen them?

The so-called Holy Light Religion purification was probably aimed at the mature Dragon blood. Once they were promoted to High Order profession, it was time for Holy Light Religion to come and pick them.

”Speaking of it,” Aya closed her eyes and recalled, ”In these days, I’ve indeed heard people say that it has already been a long time since a Dragon Clan blood advanced to become High Order professions.”

”The so-called purification is indeed farming and harvesting.” Wang Lu continued to ‘tsk-tsk’. ”Oh, Holy Light Religion, that is one hell of a ruthless job.”

Aya strongly suppressed her anger. ”I swear I will make them pay the price!” While speaking, a breathtaking imposing manner almost spilled out from Aya.

Wang Lu reached out and patted her shoulder. ”Don’t be impulsive. Right now, you’re not the invincible Knight King. Do you want to begin your stand here as one against many, to directly kill the whole Holy Light Religion army? What if they found out about your identity? Not everyone is like Bedivere who has eyes but fail to see, and thus not recognize you!

”Yes. I understand.” Aya soon regained her composure. ”Now, there’s something that I find really strange. Bedivere has never been so helpless. When encountering a ‘thing’ like Holy Light Religion, the Bedivere that I know would rather die than live in such dishonor.”

Wang Lu said, ”Obviously, something or someone that is precious and vital to him has been taken and held hostage, for example… Does he have a wife, kids, or something?”

Aya was startled. ”I’ve actually never heard of it. In the past, he was a loner.”

Wang Lu thought about it. ”According to your understanding of him, is he the kind of man who is not willing to look for a woman in his entire life?”

”Of course not. It’s just that, in the past, he has always been following me to go to war on all quarters, and thus never had the opportunity to meet someone and fall in love.”

”That’s it.” Wang Lu said, ”It’s been more than one hundred years since that, so the hornbeam has blossomed for several times. Thus, it’s not strange for him to encounter a close female friend. And through this close female friend, Holy Light Religion managed to control him, forcing him to submit.”

”But we’ve never heard of such a close female friend in Dragon City.”

Wang Lu sneered. ”Obviously because it must not be exposed! For example, if that close female friend in question hasn’t even reached fourteen years old, does he dare to let you hear it?”

”Nonsense! Bedivere is not that kind of person!”

”That’s childish! What do you know? It’s the kind of old man who has experienced countless of hardships but never talked about love like Bedivere that is most susceptible to be alighted by a pure and innocent little girl; light of my life, fire of my loins. My sin, my soul1.”

”W-What kind of absurd fallacy is this! You want to show off your literature knowledge here!”

”In short, I think this is a right direction for a breakthrough. As long as we can solve Bedivere’s problem, we will basically have half of the Dragon City, this is an incomparable power. In the next few days, I will seriously investigate this, while you can just be at ease and wait for the result!”

There was no impervious wall in this world. As long as one conscientiously looked up, one could always find the clues. During the next three days, Wang Lu began to roam widely in Dragon City. Occasionally, he even slipped out of the barrack and inquired news in the business district, noble district, and other parts of the city.

If it were in times of Aya, which implemented the most stringent management, not only Wang Lu would not get any news, he would even be strictly controlled and punished. However, currently, Dragon City was like what Aya once said, like a loose sand. The management was really lax.

Since their last meeting with Bedivere, Wang Lu and Aya realized that this lax management seemed to be the intention of Bedivere. He freely spread the methods for Dragon blood while not strictly administering them, deliberately letting them spread outside in the hope that some hidden Dragon blood in Brettonia would get them, painstakingly practice them, and leave a kindling of hope for the Bretton Dragon Clan.

And now, this good intention has given Wang Lu ample space for activity. After that three days, he obtained the information that he wanted.

”Got it.”

Upon arriving at his residence, he looked at Aya with a strange smile plastered on his face.

In the courtyard, Aya was practicing sword fight with Liu Li. Upon seeing Wang Lu’s unexpectedly somewhat creepy smile, she naturally couldn’t continue the practice anymore and hastily withdrew.

”What did you find out?” While speaking, an ominous foreboding filled up her heart.
