No one knows why His Highness Godwin concealed his identity and went to the magic academy to be an apprentice. Some people said that the new king was dissatisfied with Godwin's outstanding performance, so His Royal Highness took the initiative to leave, but others said that the new king was not so petty. Some people said that Godwin felt that the king's selection was unfair and was dissatisfied, so he left, but the person who said this was beaten by Knight Rodel and thrown out of the royal city. In short, His Highness Godwin's decision to abandon the prince and leave in secret has become a major unsolved mystery in the royal city. Of course, not everyone has seen Golden Godwin, but those present were all Knight Rodel, Golden Godwin's direct subordinates, so how could they not know him? In the game, the personal charm of the Golden Prince Godwin even made some people commit suicide to become the Knights of the Temple after he became the Dead Prince. At this moment, they all wanted to reminisce with Roland, but because he concealed his identity, they could only shut up and pay him the highest respect. His Highness Godwin must have a hidden agenda behind what he does, and we cannot disrupt his plans. But this action had a different meaning in the eyes of magic apprentices. "Oh no! They are really planning to use Roland to establish their authority! After all, he is still our magic apprentice."
"It's because Radagan abandoned Her Majesty the Queen that she is now riding on our shoulders." "Who made him so arrogant? Can you call for gold? The gold belongs to His Highness Godwin." "No, that Roland is a little crazy, like a lunatic, but he can't be killed just because of a nickname, right?" "Keep your voice down! You're risking your life!" "Don't spill blood on me." "Gold is a name that should not be used casually." "After all, they are all our classmates. What about the professors? Didn't they show any reaction?" "This is terrible. I am really going to die." "If he can come out intact, I will go eat..." Those who are resentful, those who are just looking for fun, those who are self-protective, those who have bad intentions... Roland ignored their noise and walked between the two rows of Rodel knights, who had firm eyes and maintained saluting postures. The two knights made way, opened the door for Roland personally, and gestured for him to come in. His eyes fell on the room. The discussion room was very empty. It must have been specially vacated for Michaela. With a casual glance, he saw the little girl petting a dog. The majestic red wolf was no different from the dog beside her, rolling on the ground and exposing its belly for her to touch. She looked to be about twelve years old, with long golden hair that reached her knees, with a strand of hair on the left side braided behind her head like a wreath. Her face was filled with joy, and she wore a pure white dress that reached down to her ankles, revealing her white stockings, and a pair of Mary Jane shoes. Rather than a person, it looked more like a beautifully crafted doll, especially the white dress embroidered with gold-rimmed roses. It should be the Lolita style that never existed in this world. He had talked about it with Torina several times and even drew a simple blueprint, which was then replicated by her. Her smile was full of unparalleled charm, and she didn't look like a child at all. Roland was slightly surprised and asked, "Torina? Didn't you say it was Michaela?" "elder brother!"
Hearing his voice, the girl quickly stood up, turned around, and met Roland's gaze. Compared to just now, her smile was even sweeter now. "Ah, is it me who can't do this?" "Of course, they told me it was Michaela, they didn't expect it to be you." As the eldest prince Godwin, Roland was of course very familiar with Michaela and Torina. The two were actually the same person, the male was Michaela and the female was Torina. They looked basically the same and had the same body shape. Others might not be able to tell them apart, but he could tell the difference between them at a glance. He walked closer to Torina and grabbed her face with one hand. It felt smooth and soft, and it felt more like satin when pinched. “So, come if you want, but why bring a team of Rodel Knights to find me and expose my position? If I am not satisfied with your answer, I will bully you tonight."
Chapter 3 Scarlet Corruption "Ugh...brother, let go!" With Roland grabbing her face, Tolina spoke incoherently, her expression becoming pitiful. "I didn't bring them here. My mother asked them to follow me." "That's not a good enough excuse." He continued to pinch. "You just want to bully me!" Tolina's eyes were filled with tears. She continued, "Mother said you must stay with this team of Rodel Knights, or she will let her personal guards protect you." Roland was silent for a moment. Not many people know that he is Golden Godwin, but there are definitely quite a few. He is just trying to stay out of the spotlight and gain a good relationship with Lalani. Therefore, even if the identity is exposed, it will only cause more trouble, so it is better not to expose it. As long as no one reveals it, the magic apprentices will never be able to guess his identity. When he really wants to run away, he will definitely not tell anyone. He thinks the sacred tree chosen by Michaela and Malenia is very good, so he can just run over there first when the time comes. It was no big deal to let a few Rodel Knights know his position now. They would definitely have no ulterior motives and would be loyal to him and the golden tree. His current mother, Queen Marika, was a rare person. Others did not know about her personal guards, but Roland knew them clearly. They were all black swords, also rare people. There is a black knife in front of the queen's boudoir. This team is definitely Marika's personal guard. But there is not only this team of black knives, there are also black knives from other forces. So, how did Roland's original body, Golden Godwin, die? Half of his destined death was stolen and infused into the Black Knife through a ritual, thus triggering the Night of the Black Knife, in which he was stabbed in the back by the Black Knife Assassin, killing his soul. The matter of Black Knife Night is very complicated, far from being glossed over in the game. Before knowing the truth about the Night of Black Knife, Roland was unwilling to believe Marika, let alone want a Black Knife as a personal bodyguard. But if they refuse this team of Rodel Knights, they will be forced to accept a black knife assassin.
Tolina really gave him a difficult problem, and there were some problems no matter how he solved it. However, is it possible to use this to your advantage and control the black knife in your own hands? Roland was stunned for a while, his hands still pinching her cheeks. Torina's eyes were full of tears, and she looked very pitiful. "Let go, brother." "Oh, sorry, I was thinking." He loosened his hand and looked down. Torina's cheeks were red from his pinching. "Okay, I reluctantly agree with this argument. I won't bully you tonight." "Ah~ It's okay to bully me. I haven't slept with my brother for a long time." Tolina took Roland's hand and asked him to sit down. She used him as a chair, leaning on his arms and swinging her calves. The corners of her mouth were slightly upturned, forming a beautiful arc, and her eyes were slightly shining, with a hint of mischief in her innocence. Roland paused and said, "Okay, I have nothing to do anyway, so I'll accompany you for the whole day." "Great!" Torina hugged his neck with a smile on her face. He rubbed the little blonde head in front of him, could smell the scent of her hair, and thought about other things. At this point in time, it should still be a long way off from the Night of the Black Knife. Roland felt very strange that Queen Marika suddenly sent someone to protect him. Maybe something had changed. He expressed his doubts to Torina, "Why this time? I've been out for a year. "I don't know." She shook her head and continued, "This was really not my idea. I was planning to sneak over here, but I got caught. My mother knew I was coming to see you, so she asked me to bring a group of Rodel knights with me, and told me to tell you that if you have had enough time to relax, you can go back." He had not intended to get an answer from Torina, but this answer made him understand what Queen Marika was thinking. Roland laughed, hugged his sister, lowered his head, and there was a hint of helplessness in his smile. "Does she treat me like a child? Does she think I ran away from home by coming to the magic academy?" “Well, in everyone’s eyes, my brother is Golden Godwin, the hero who stepped forward when the royal city was in danger and fought the ancient dragon. But in the eyes of your mother, no matter how heroic you are, you are just her child. " Tolina rubbed her face, feeling a little dissatisfied, "It's like, I'm a young girl now! Brother, don't you still treat me like a child?" "Then how do you want me to treat you?" Roland stroked Torina's little head with one hand and teased the dog with the other. "Brother, you haven't slept with Marenia for a long time, but you have always slept with me. Also, when you were in the royal city, you always carried candies with you, and you would give me one when you saw me." Torina said as she took out a candy from his pocket.
"You knew I was coming, right? At least you knew Michaela would come, otherwise how could you have any candy with you." "You guessed it right, but there's no reward. Or do you want me to reward you by letting you sleep alone tonight?" Roland pinched her nose and held Torina, just like he was holding an exquisite doll. "No, I want to sleep with my brother." She held his arm tightly and refused to let go. He is indeed a child. Roland thought so, played with Torina for a while, and asked again. "You came here just to play with me this time?" "Ah? I forgot to tell you." Tolina lowered her head, "Marlenya's corruption curse is getting worse and worse. If I can't survive this time, my right hand will be gone. I am well versed in the golden tree prayer, but there is no way. My father and mother have also gone to visit Malenia, but there is nothing they can do either. They can only wait for the curse to get deeper and deeper. I think you must have a way, brother. When we were in the royal city, no matter what happened, couldn't you, brother, handle it? Is there really no solution to Marenia's scarlet corruption?" "After all, it's the curse of the goddess of corruption. There's only one god in the Golden Tree lineage, Queen Marika. If my mother can't solve it, I'm afraid there will be no cure." Following Roland's words, Tolina's eyes dimmed a little bit and she lowered her head. Even my brother can’t do anything? After all, even mother and father couldn't do anything about it, and they were gods and kings, so it was normal that the brother couldn't do anything about it either. She listened to Roland's words and lowered her head. She couldn't hide the disappointment on her face. She was as quiet as a cat that had lost its cat food can. "But, I happen to know a little bit about the Goddess of Corruption, and I have four ways to solve the current dilemma." Roland's voice was low and magnetic, which startled Torina. The surprise was fleeting and turned into a sweet smile. Even if mother and father don’t know what to do, my brother does have a way! Are there four more solutions? She asked hurriedly, "You're not going to cut off your right hand? That's definitely not okay." "Don't worry, listen to me slowly." Roland adjusted his posture to make himself and Torina more comfortable. “The easiest way is to find a blind swordsman who uses the Flowing Water Sword Technique, which can suppress the Scarlet Corruption. However, the effect is slow and requires Marennia to practice day after day. If you want quick results, prepare a piece of pure gold, make it into a pure gold needle, and insert it into Malenia's body, which can also suppress the scarlet corruption. But these methods are only temporary solutions, and at most they can suppress her pain. If you want to eradicate it, I have two methods."
Tolina was surprised that there were only two methods that could temporarily relieve the pain. Could they also be a cure? Roland continued, "The first is for you to become a master of the law and develop laws that are powerful enough to cure the scarlet corruption. Do you have the determination? Maybe it will fail. The second one......." Tolina didn't know why he paused, but she saw cunning on Roland's face.
