513: Very Unpleasant Dick

Chapter 512: Dick's Leisurely Life

"Having a strong thirst for knowledge is a good thing, but this Lord must remind you, if you don't survive the next two days, all knowledge will be meaningless!"

Dick asked too much, and too detailed, so much so that the Sovereign Will within Alice was getting annoyed.

If he kept asking like this, when would it end?

Moreover, there were many things that Dick simply couldn't access at the moment.

Was he a Lord? To want to understand something as high-level as the "main spacetime protocol", wasn't that being too overly ambitious?

It was like a person who was so poor they couldn't even afford food, yet was thinking about the rise and fall of housing prices...

Dick knew Alice found him long-winded, but there was nothing he could do. To pass the tribulation, he had to complete the task, and to complete the task, he had to ask around.

However, the strange thing was, even though he had learned so much, the task progress for "The Last Confession" remained unchanged, stuck at 81%!

Soon, Dick realized that his direction was wrong, perhaps the topic of "Sovereign Will descending" could no longer increase the progress.

"Alright, you've asked enough. This Lord has something to do later, so..."

"I have one last question."

"Ask!"

Dick's eyes showed anticipation, and he slowly said, "I want to know who the Lord guarding the passage is?"

"I don't know."

"?"

Dick's mouth twitched at Alice's straightforward answer, and he couldn't help but press further, "Then, at least tell me what she looks like..."

"That fellow is wearing a thick black robe and has never said a word. Let alone her identity, no one even knows her gender, maybe she's a man."

"A man, a man?"

When did his Isurna become a man?!

"You fellow are just ignorant. Who says a Lord must be female? It's not like only Witches are qualified to become Lords."

Seeing Dick's stunned expression, Alice added, "Didn't you say you knew that fellow before? You even said you could arrange for my main body to come in..."

"Uh... now, maybe I don't know her anymore."

Dick was also confused. Besides Lord Isurna, who else could have the strength to block over a hundred Lords?

And ultimately, it was still uncertain whether that Lord's motive was to help him, perhaps it was for other reasons.

At the same time, at the military camp gate, a Magical Vehicle was slowly driving in, and the soldiers standing guard on both sides saluted.

Hanta was driving, Isurna was sitting in the passenger seat, and the youngest, Jem, was sitting in the back seat.

"Sister... I still think you're being a bit paranoid. There are so many paragons in the entire Central Region, how could that Divine Machine Witch possibly choose us..."

Hearing this, Isurna immediately glared coldly at Jem through the rearview mirror.

Even though he had been in the army for several years and had seen mountains of corpses and seas of blood, Jem couldn't help but shiver at this moment, a hint of fear appearing on his face.

He recalled that not long ago, the two brothers were still in the Royal Palace, drinking and talking with Luca III, discussing their future ideals.

Because of their identity as Isurna's younger brothers, coupled with Hanta and Jem being valuable talents, Luca III was very lenient with the two brothers, without any airs of an emperor.

Let alone complex noble etiquette, even some sensitive topics could be discussed freely, and the atmosphere at the dinner table was excellent.

Until... Isurna broke in.

Until... two palm prints appeared on Hanta and Jem's faces.

Isurna was so angry entirely because the two brothers returned too late, delaying for over a week!

Previously, as soon as Ryan was assassinated by Apricot Lilli, Isurna immediately had Hanta and Jem return from the front line.

However, the two used the excuse of work handover and delayed in various ways, only returning today...

And they didn't go to the military camp to find Isurna, but went to the Royal Palace to drink with Luca III. How could this not make her angry?

"Sister... Actually, I still think military affairs are important. The empire is currently fighting on multiple fronts, it's a time when manpower is needed!"

"Our brothers returning at this time..." Hanta, who was driving, glanced at Isurna out of the corner of his eye and said in a low voice, "It's like deserters..."

"Hmph!"

Isurna snorted coldly, and the two brothers immediately shut up. Hanta focused on driving, while Jem lowered his head and counted his fingers.

"You shouldn't have been on the front line in the first place, you shouldn't even have joined the army. It was my soft heart at that time that caused Ryan's death..."

As she spoke, Isurna's eyes turned red, and two lines of tears rolled down her cheeks.

She ultimately felt that she hadn't taken good care of her younger brothers, and Ryan's death was truly difficult for her to let go of.

Seeing this, the two brothers quickly changed the subject. Isurna's tears were like a knife, stabbing fiercely into their hearts.

"By the way, Sister, didn't you often mention Dick Grudia in your letters?"

"Yes, is he in the military camp? I'm very curious about this Northerns Number One Paragon, even His Majesty speaks so highly of him!"

As soon as the two brothers mentioned Dick, Isurna quickly wiped away her tears and said gently, "Oh, I forgot to tell you, Dick is now my..."

Screech—

The next second, an extremely sharp braking sound rang out, the tires plowed two deep marks on the ground, and faint white smoke was rising from them.

Hanta, who was driving, stiffly turned his head, his voice hoarse, "Sister... what did you just say?"

"Brother-in-law?! I have a brother-in-law?! Hahaha, let this world be destroyed tomorrow!!!"

And Jem in the back seat was like a crazy lunatic, yelling and gesticulating wildly.

Ten minutes later, Isurna brought Hanta and Jem to the front of her military tent, her face full of worry.

"Dick is a very excellent person, otherwise I wouldn't have fallen in love with him. You two should be polite later, don't..."

Before Isurna could finish speaking, Hanta interrupted coldly, "Whether he's excellent or not, my fist will judge!"

Swish!

Jem drew the long sword from his waist, his killing intent thick, "People speak lies, the sword speaks the truth!"

Looking at her two excited younger brothers behind her, Isurna covered her forehead, sighed, and silently prayed for Dick.

However, after lifting the tent flap, the three siblings saw an extremely awkward scene.

Dick was sitting on the sofa with his legs crossed, his left arm around Mina and his right arm around Alice, looking utterly comfortable.
