Chapter 233: Chapter 170 Silver Oath

Soron’s gaze immediately shifted to the crystal in Rod’s hand, his square face turning red in an instant.

"Did you, did you see it?"

"Pfft!"

Rod almost burst out laughing.

I thought it was some big secret, but it turned out to be a little movie.

However, the female lead in this little movie seemed quite significant.

He struggled to hold back his laughter and said in a neutral tone, "Good taste, Senior Knight Soron."

Teresa peeked out from behind Soron, curiously looking at them.

Soron immediately blocked her view and said in an unquestionable tone, "Teresa, go back to sleep immediately, you have to leave at dawn tomorrow."

"Is little Rod going too?"

"That’s none of your concern, go to sleep right now!"

After sending Teresa away, Soron closed the door and asked in a serious tone, "Did you look at the crystal?"

Rod shrugged, "If I said I didn’t look, would you believe me?"

Soron was silent, his expression changing unpredictably.

Rod smiled and said, "Teacher Soron, you are a brave and noble Senior Knight, you wouldn’t want others to know about this, would you?"

Soron sighed deeply, his expression becoming downcast.

"Little Rod, did Teresa really sleep with you? She actually tried to harm her own teacher for another man."

Rod chuckled, "Teacher Soron, your magnanimity really can’t compare to your students. Even if I were a useless waste, spending days and nights with Teresa in bed, she wouldn’t try to get me to the front line for me."

Soron sat on the bed, holding his forehead, his despondence showing the weariness of a middle-aged man.

"Is that so?"

He murmured, his eyes filled with confusion, "Could it be because of this that Lady Olivia never even spared me a glance..."

Uh, is she your dream lover? Rod suddenly felt uneasy and quickly said, "Teacher Soron, actually I had only watched the first few seconds before you came back... Just send me to the front line, and I will completely forget about this."

Soron shook his head.

"It’s okay, little Rod, you are still young, you don’t understand what ’love’ is..."

Heh, Teacher Soron, you underestimate me. I just look very young... Rod complained inwardly but wisely did not argue, only quietly listening to Soron’s outpouring.

This middle-aged man was not as tough and strong as he appeared outwardly; on the contrary, his heart was very sentimental, and he harbored many wavering and sorrowful feelings.

Perhaps it was because of sharing a secret that these feelings suddenly found an outlet for expression.

From Soron’s words, Rod learned that he had been secretly in love with Olivia for many years, but due to the huge gap in status, he never took that step, always following Olivia loyally as her sword and shield.

But as one of the four Great Knight Captains, one of the kingdom’s Four Knights under the King, one of Trolian’s eleven Special Level Combatants, the followers of the Moonlight Knight Olivia were innumerable.

As a Senior Knight, he was just an ordinary one among them.

Therefore, he could only bury his passionate love deep inside, looking up at his goddess in the crowd, quietly working and fighting for her.

Soron rambled on for a long time, his words disordered and chaotic, but his intense true feelings and manic love were still clear.

This guy turned out to be a true romantic... To ensure going to the battlefield, Rod reluctantly agreed with him.

"Teacher Soron, your character is truly noble. Only today did I realize there is a type of love called ’I love you, it doesn’t concern you...’"

Rod heaped praise from all angles on Teacher Soron’s great sentiments, deliberately ignoring his despicable action of secretly recording and watching Olivia bathe every day.

Soron’s face clearly showed a smile, and his despondent demeanor also lightened considerably. He coughed to interrupt Rod’s excessive praise comparing his love to the Holy Fire.

"This... little Rod, the Holy Fire burns because of Fuel Element and Firewood, saying it burns because of love is a bit too much..."

"How is it not!" Rod said vehemently, "If humanity had no love, the Holy Fire would have extinguished long ago, how could we have persisted till today?"

This statement sounded too heartwarming, causing Soron’s smile to be unstoppable.

"Little Rod."

He coughed and spoke earnestly.

"You should know, my not letting you onto the battlefield isn’t targeted at you. Your growth has been too fast and intense. In just a few months, you’ve already entered the ’Strong’ group of special students. You should know, in the first few months of becoming a Fire Holder, Teresa was still wetting her pants during training... To us, your achievements are as dazzling as a meteor, so we are also afraid you would disappear like a meteor."

Rod thought for a moment, organized thoughts he usually heard, and spoke them out.

"But, we must always face hardships. In a greenhouse, we won’t get growth. Instead of fearing danger and avoiding it, we should face it head-on, even if we are covered in injuries, even if branches break and flowers fall, as long as one can bloom, its radiance will cover all the hardships and losses. Isn’t that the reason we established the secret branches?"

Soron sighed, "You’re right. The sixth Fire Spark of Starfire, the seventh Firework of Spiritual Fire, are all huge challenges. After surpassing Sixth Rank Spiritually, each level is a matter of life and death, a chasm between humans and beings, which has broken the wings of many talents, and the Abyss of Transcendents and non-humans has buried many prodigies’ bones. The threshold of the Commander has been crossed by only eleven people so far, and above the Commander, aside from the King, there is no one else."
