owing this, the entire team gradually slowed down, focusing all their attention on him."What's wrong"The poet, at the head of the procession, turned back and looked with a puzzled expression at Sanche...Chapter 198: What Goes Around Comes Around

"What do you want me to do"

Phoenix gazed at Lance, his voice trembling. "Remember our website address."

Even if it meant giving his all, he would still fight for her. After all, it was for his sister, Phyllis.

"Let me make something clear: you colluded with the Cult of Resurrection, attempted murder, and tried to cause a major incident. Going to jail for life is inevitable. But if you plead guilty and behave well, you can earn leniency and fight for a reduced sentence... When you're in prison, just say you want me, and I'll personally handle your appeal."

Lonnie explained to Phoenix that his shortest possible sentence was still jail time, and that committing a crime meant going to prison. This had nothing to do with whether or not he was willing to join Lonnie.

As for your sister, if she truly is innocent, after a rigorous examination by the Goddess of Fate, she can take refuge with Grand Priest Lorien. I will arrange for her to transfer to the Iktherite Academy. You need not worry about her safety. Of course, at that time, your sister will also receive special attention and protection from Dean Lorien.

..."

Let me know if you'd like me to translate any other text!

Phoenix listened to Lance's words, her lips pressed tightly together, her fists clenched.

Lancy's proposal is undoubtedly the best situation for the siblings right now.

Even compared to the scenes described by the great poet of love before, Phoenix could not imagine how Ranch could be any more benevolent.

Whom is more trustworthy, the Great Oracle Lorens or the Annihilation Bishop Ivannos Anyone with common sense knows the answer.

But Phoenix was worried.

After being caught and imprisoned as a repeat offender.

My sister will face criticism and have a very unhappy time at the Ikeras College.

As soon as he thought of this, he could only deeply regret himself.

> All of the above are official matters. As long as you are honest with Dean Lauren and sincerely apologize for your mistakes, all of this will happen.

Lance wasn't finished speaking, he was still talking to Phoenix.

Ivan's thoughts were actually quite wicked.

Lanche knew that if this attack plan were to succeed, Phoenix's sister would likely be protected by the kind-hearted Lauren after undergoing a series of examinations in the Heton Royal Capital.

But to have a brother who is a cultist, murderer, and terrorist, who has killed Sage Academy students and innocent civilians, would forever brand Filise with stigma and shame. It would leave her ostracized in Ictereth, never able to hold her head high or live a life free from the ill will and accusations of others.

Perhaps this is one of Ivan's hoped-for small endings.

Ranch does not approve, he hopes for a happy ending for everyone.

So he would not let Ivanos have even a shred of satisfaction.

"Phoenix, please rest assured, no matter what your transgressions may be, I guarantee you that your sister will not be treated unfairly at the Iketeru Academy. Our school absolutely does not allow any bullying of fellow students to occur."

Lan Qi spoke in a serious tone.

"……"!!!

Phoenix heard Lance's words and suddenly raised his head, his eyes seeming to gleam with a newfound light.

Even a reassurance as hollow as this, even coming from Loren, Phoenix couldn't shake his worry for his sister.

After all, you can't guarantee that other students won't bully his sister in private. Some prejudice comes from the heart and is impossible to erase.

But if I could get a promise from this person...

That is indeed highly trustworthy.

Because no unreasonable student would do anything that would make Lance feel "incorrect", "unfriendly", or "in need of correction".

His love, though chaotic and twisted, encompassed all.

Even those who are rejected by human society and need to be erased, he can give them shelter.

Treat them all equally.

At this moment, in Phoenix's eyes, the warm lights illuminated Ranch's figure, making him shine like he stood on that sacred shore, offering him an olive branch.

The rebirth bestowed upon Phoenix cannot be described.

He had longed, oh how he had longed, for their brother and sister's lives to be completely severed from the Resurrection Church.

Let your sister live a life without danger.

He just couldn't bear to think about it, he didn't even dare to dream like that, hoping that one day would come. Gradually becoming numb, even on the verge of giving up this hope.

He never thought he'd have another chance at something he had lost forever, but now the opportunity was right in front of him.

Phoenix finally knew what had ignited the fire in his heart.

That was like a smoldering ember that suddenly burst into flames.

To illustrate, it's like faith being ignited, a fire that allows you to surrender everything without a worry. You can simply fall asleep with peace of mind, free from anxiety and fear. There's no trembling in the darkness, no cries for help, and no nightmares of losing everything to wake you up in terror.

Even if he were to truly entrust his life to this protector, he would do so willingly.

"Mr. Lanche, I..."

Phoenix's voice trembled as he spoke.

In a near-heart-rending joy, she cried out her heart's desire.

"I pledge my allegiance to you!"

"That's good."

Ranch nodded in satisfaction.

He has recruited another excellent apprentice.

As a principal, he has the responsibility and duty to save more young men and women who are going astray.

On this trip to the North Continent's Revival Church, he was determined to recruit more first-year students.

He can't allow this evil church to torment more young people!

Justice is on his side!

So, from now on, we don't tell anyone about what we've talked about, not even Lauren, understand

Of course, I only have a one-sided relationship with you. I was just caught by you.

Phoenix nodded.

"...."

Hupperia, who was beside Lancelot, secretly glanced at him.

She suspects that Lan Qi's trip to the Northern Continent has expanded its goals...

……

Several hours later, the rain was almost over. The sky was still overcast and there was no sunset to be seen.

Tallia's wooden attic looked especially charming on a rainy day.

The pitter-patter of raindrops harmonizes with the quietude of the wooden eaves. Each drop infuses this space with a leisurely rhythm, allowing one to feel the pulse of rain and the breath of nature. The glass skylight on the ceiling, crafted from wooden planks and beams, becomes a vast transparent canvas when moistened by the rain. Tiny raindrops gently tap against the glass, gathering, flowing, dispersing, and reflecting the night sky, forming an ever-changing watercolor painting.

The delicate wood grain on the wall appears even more profound under this kind of light. The warm-toned furnishings, accompanied by the sound of rain, seem to wrap one's soul in a comforting blanket.

The attic of the wooden house at this moment seems like a small world separated from the outside, with only the sound of raindrops hitting the skylight, allowing one to immerse in this moment of tranquility and harmony.

Taliya was called downstairs to help out as a signboard girl again.

And Lanci and Huberliane stayed at her house.

Now Talia's house has two chairs in addition to her armchair.

One is a Lanci's, the other is a Huberlian's.

Since Huberlyan arrived, Tallia seemed to have tacitly allowed Lance to stay at her house.

"Another copy of the encrypted [Rebirth Certificate - Destruction] got my hands, and I also received the destruction mage spells [Wooden Puppet Theater] and [Destruction Spark]. Good things happen to good people!"

Lan Qi looked at the few magic cards in his hand, he never expected such a surprise harvest.

These are all that he got from Phoenix.

Phoenix is still being kept in the warehouse, waiting until tomorrow morning when Dean Lauren returns to school. That way, Phoenix can be delivered directly to Dean Lauren's hands, avoiding any unnecessary complications.

Rather than have his cards confiscated by the Kingdom of Heton, Phoenix gave them all to Lance.

And these two pink sacred unbinding charms took a lot of expensive materials and time.

And after breaking the soul bind, not only did Phoenix fall into a weakened state, but also some of his ultimate abilities will be unavailable for a long time.

This is the price of unbinding the pink sacred magic card.

Though Ruinous Cardinal Ivanos is the wielder of the Primal Tablet - Fire and a symbol of Calamity and Annihilation, by coincidence, Rance is also a cardmaker who has some research on fire.

"These two cards are too dangerous, I need to keep them safe."

Lance kept the two pink Sacred cards, "Great Puppet Theater" and "Destruction Spark", for himself. He gave "Certificate of Rebirth - Destruction" to Huberlian because manipulating crowds and self-destructing are not suitable abilities for him.

…"

Hubert always felt that these two cards in Ranch's hand weren't a good thing.

Today is the third update, and there will be one more chapter later!
