Chapter 1085: Section 681: Who Knows (6)

Matilda used a toy stick to tease her little cub. Matilda and Malin’s offspring matured rapidly, which made Matilda very curious—her child was the fastest-growing among the first batch, and last month, this child was the first to stand on his own two feet on the ground.

Now, this little curious one has become a headache for Matilda—because he is too strong. Among the siblings, this child is the youngest, yet the most formidable.

While other children were still crawling, this little guy was already thinking about how to run on two legs.

Therefore, Matilda could only take this child to live in the Semi-Plane first.

This was the small cabin under the World Tree.

For a Paladin, Matilda had no discontent with a simple life; on the contrary, the lavish lifestyle in the palace was somewhat uncomfortable for her.

From the other end of the toy stick came a heavy pressure, and Matilda turned her head to see her little cub had unknowingly bitten the small plush ball at the end of the stick.

Smiling, she extended her hand and held her child in her arms. Sitting on the wooden chair, Matilda watched as another of her kind approached, dressed in the battle robe of the Lord of Justice’s Church, with a golden shoulder clasp indicating an identity as a messenger.

"Greetings, fellow Matilda. Your sister, Princess Faye, was attacked earlier today. The Church has already dispatched a guard team for support, and aid from here will be sent directly from headquarters." After saying this, the fellow with large ears completed a chest salute, then looked at Matilda: "Fellow Matilda, we have sent a messenger to contact Sir Malin, and we expect to have news by tomorrow evening. Is there anything you need me to convey to Lady Faye and others?"

"No need. The sisters know about my situation here, and they surely don’t want me to get involved." Matilda declined, and so the messenger, after another courteous gesture, chose to leave.

Watching him step directly into the open teleportation passage, Matilda finally breathed a sigh of relief—this messenger was directly under the Lord of Justice, and only such a grand existence could bypass the World Tree’s concealment to enter this Semi-Plane.

Of course, caution ensures long security, and suspicion is the way to survival.

Matilda also believed that neither Faye nor Nova would want to place the children together. Although dispersed protection could lead to the dispersion of protective strength, there would not be a situation where all were attacked simultaneously—Matilda’s child was in the Semi-Plane, and if such a situation occurred, though Faye couldn’t leave Regensburg with the child anytime soon, Nova and others would definitely place the children in the Seafloor Base.

No, due to the dispersal agreement, Matilda was sure that Nova would definitely take her child and Rewo together to the Supreme Mage Tower—the headquarters of the Mage Tower, located somewhere in the grey mountains, known only by High-Order Mages.

Rewo would take her child along with Nova’s child there—where the Mages would definitely protect Malin’s offspring.

The remaining children would surely go to the Seafloor Base with Jessica and others; even among the sisters, only Jessica, Rewo, and Nova knew this coordinate. Out of safety concerns, even Faye refused the right to know this coordinate herself.

Because if the children are protected separately, even if assassins wanted to assassinate all of Malin’s offspring at the same time, it would be impossible to find all of them simultaneously.

Not even deities could accomplish this, especially when the Lord of Justice would definitely intervene to help.

So, my sisters, after all, have discovered the crux of the problem.

Thinking of this, Matilda lifted her head and glanced at the large tree behind her.

Yes, besides the Lord of Justice, the Goddess of Harvest and her companions are also helping the Malin family.

So the question arises, Matilda, consider who among the perpetrators would dare to take such risks to assassinate Malin’s offspring.

What a... headache of a question, isn’t it?

Thinking of this, Matilda sighed and couldn’t help but wonder if Malin were here, would he know the answer?

......

Constantine Julius rubbed his hands full of old, wrinkled dead skin. The previous divination nearly cost him his life. Thankfully, the potion handed over by the two ladies saved him.

The reason? Quite simple. Old Constantine wanted to calculate the fate of Malin’s children to see who among them might still be threatened. On the first attempt, a problem arose. Lady Maya’s child, a very healthy-looking little leopard, had a very robust line of fate. The problem occurred when old Constantine flipped the first card, and sudden aging nearly took old Constantine’s life.

Fortunately, the two Legendary ladies present teamed up, with Maya’s lady using an extreme healing spell to save old Constantine, and Faye’s potion dispelling the curse on him.

Old Constantine never thought he would be dragged into the dirtiest game between deities.

But precisely because of this, old Constantine gained the most sincere friendship from the Gaiates—seeing the situation of old Constantine, the ladies were not foolish and realized the problem existed.

They didn’t mention anything in front of old Constantine, and he knew they were doing it for his own good.
