This Holy Knight is So Despicable!
Chapter 142 - 134: Dragon Island, Disappeared

Chapter 142: Chapter 134: Dragon Island, Disappeared

In the morning, Lilith kicked open Lette’s door. Barefoot, she ran across the room and then jumped onto the bed with a whoosh.

She landed heavily on Lette’s back, causing him to cry out in pain.

Then, he continued to lie flat on the bed, pretending to be dead.

"Hey hey!"

Lilith sat sideways on top of Lette, dangling her two crystal-clear white feet.

"Come on, it’s about time you pull yourself together! The Holy Presence Ceremony is over, your Joanna has been back in the Divine Realm for three days. How much longer do you want to play dead?

If you miss her, just summon her back down!"

Lette, his face buried in the pillow, mumbled: "No time... she’s too busy.

The Holy Light Goddess turned into two people, not only is the Church busy revising the doctrines, Joanna and Afra are also incredibly busy.

The newly bought angels have all been delivered, and they’re busy delegating authority.

Because the change was quite sudden this time, believers everywhere are having strong reactions, and it might take some time to calm things down."

Speaking of this, Lette feebly requested.

"Lilith, my back hurts, can you help step on it?"

"Hmm~ then stop sleeping all day if your back hurts, empty-nest Holy Sin Lord."

Lilith stood up and started stepping on Lette’s back with effort.

"A bit to the left, yes, yes... much better."

"Your back is quite broad, is this spot okay?"

Lilith continues chatting with Lette as she steps down forcefully.

"I was going to say, we have an appointment with Taylor and the others today to visit Dwarf Greybeard. The Holy Shield Embryo he promised you is finished, waiting for you to pick it up."

"Why can’t he just bring it over to me?"

"Guess he’s waiting for you to send over some more wine? Come on, let’s go out today. If you keep this up, you’ll be Holy Trash, not Holy Sin."

After saying this, Lilith leaned over on Lette’s back, turned his face over, and gave him a big kiss.

"Since you’ve lost the kiss of a goddess, make do with my kiss, won’t you?"

Lette took a deep breath, slowly got up. Lilith seized the moment to hang onto his neck and clung to his back.

"Let’s go! Let’s see it and relax as we go. Bring Emily and Flander along!"

"Emily is fine, but Flander is busy with New Church matters."

"Sigh... busy, busy, everyone is busy... being busy is good too, I suppose."

Lilith felt puzzled, "Speaking of which, why aren’t you busy?"

"I originally intended to help relieve the Church Court of its worries, but the teachers and others said, they’d rather die than let me handle church matters again.

They cried and begged me to go away, even yelling ’Don’t come over here!’

Sigh, don’t you think they’re being unfair!

Don’t they make use of you when needed and kick you out when not?

Isn’t it crossing the river and tearing down the bridge, isn’t it eating one’s fill and then beating the cook, isn’t it beating the monk after chanting the scriptures?"

Lilith shook her head: "I don’t know what a monk is, but I can understand them.

After all, you, left unchecked, would create several strange but indescribable sects.

This time the Pope gave you the Holy Light Medal, making you handle the Holy Presence Ceremony affairs on his behalf..."

Lette, annoyed, looked up: "What about it? I solved a major crisis! Let the Holy Presence Ceremony proceed smoothly!"

"Ah, right, right, still a double ceremony and no extra charge, of course.

The Goddess can split into two for you, so it’s understandable the Pope won’t let you handle more church affairs."

"These people are just heartless! I’m just about to set off on a visit to Dragon Island! And yet none of them are stopping me!"

Lilith snorted with laughter: "I think they’re doing their best to be subtle by not celebrating your departure with fireworks and a marching band.

You know, maybe don’t set your expectations too high."

Lette drooped his face: "Lilith, did you see that? That’s the worker’s bloody heartbreak!

I work myself to the bone, fighting tooth and nail, and they not only don’t appreciate my efforts, but instead ostracize me due to my talents!

I want to accuse! Accuse this cannibalistic Dark Church!"

Lilith couldn’t bear to listen any longer: "The Pope of the Church is your teacher, and the leader of the Holy Knight Order is also your teacher.

One of the Goddesses is your girlfriend fiancée. Are you really a worker?

Soon this world is going to become your private property, alright?

Using your words, not even streetlights can compare to you! You ought to hang up in the sky and brush shoulders with the sun."

"... You should speak less of my hometown’s speak."

"Truly ungrateful, I’m just helping you remember, so you don’t forget.

Come on, go wash up, have breakfast! Then let’s go out for a stroll!

Tomorrow, the Alien Tribe Missions from the Dwarf Clan, Elf Clan, and others are about to set off and leave."

Under Lilith’s urging, Lette had no choice but to quickly wash up, change his clothes, and step out with a barely awake Emily.

For Flander to better manage the New Church, Lette gave her the disciplinary black knight carriage that had been left behind by the Judgement Court.

So the three of them had to walk for this outing.

When they leisurely arrived at the camp where the Dwarf Clan Mission was stationed, they found Taylor, Adros, Mangu, and Greybeard already drinking.

"Ah! Boss! You finally came!"

Taylor waved his arms to Lette: "Over here, over here! You’re late! You have to drink three cups as punishment!"

Greybeard shouted in his raspy voice: "Three cups is too few! You must drink at least three barrels!"

Emily, looking at the mountain of empty oak barrels, gasped with her mouth slightly open: "Did you... drink all of these?

Did you drink from yesterday to today?"

Mangu shook his head repeatedly: "No, we started early today! Wright Ange, I saved the finest Beast Milk Wine for you!"

"Ha! You sly dog! I knew you were holding out! Hand it over, let me have a taste first!"

Adros brought over a large cup of wine: "Boss! Here!"

Lette took the cup, downed it in one gulp, took a deep breath, and shouted at the top of his lungs: "Awesome! More, more!"

He immediately left Lilith and the others to join the drunken party.

With several drinks down, Lette caught Greybeard, who was about to snatch the Beast Milk Wine.

"So, my shield? I heard it’s finished?"

"Yes! But... you’ll have to pick it up yourself."

"Wow, do dwarves have such strict rules?"

"Uh... no, we just can’t move it! It’s too heavy."

Lette raised an eyebrow: "You’re messing with me, aren’t you? If the shield is too heavy, it’s not going to be convenient for me to use either!"

"Wow! Holy Sin Lord, you’re being unfair. You handed me all those remnants, and I added in so many rare minerals myself!

Of course it’s heavy!

Anyway, just come and have a look first!"

"The Holy Artifact Embryo of the boss? I want to see it too!"

"I want to see it too!"

Lette, seeing this, waved his hand: "Come on! Let’s all take a look!"

The crowd cheered as they were led by Greybeard to a giant makeshift forge set up by the Dwarves.

"Thanks to your Holy Sin connections, we managed to invite a Magic Pattern Master from the Elves.

However, it’s not for the shield, but for the magic patterns on this forge, designed to speed up the fusion and forging of materials.

Keep in mind, this shield is not of final quality, merely an embryo!

Hope you all don’t mind."

As he spoke, Greybeard abruptly pulled back the curtain covering the shield embryo, revealing the Holy Shield in its full form.

As soon as the crowd saw the shield, they were dumbstruck.

"Is this... a shield?"

"By its shape, yes... but why is it all black and tarnished?"

"How ugly!"

"And it looks pretty solid. Feels like it could cause considerable damage if thrown as a blunt weapon while not blocking."

Surprisingly, Lette was greatly pleased.

"Not bad! Looks harmless but conceals danger within!"

Saying that, he reached out his left hand and surprisingly lifted the quite solid shield, eliciting gasps from the crowd.

Lette then called forth the Sin Light Greatsword, striking a pose reminiscent of a Holy Knight!

"Ah! I almost forgot, the boss is also a Holy Knight."

"Yes... easily overlooked."

Lette shot a glare at Adros and Taylor, then demonstrated a standard Holy Knight combat skill.

The sharp Sin Light combined with the solid, robust Black Shield gave an impression of impenetrability and invincibility.

Lette was very pleased: "Indeed, a Holy Knight ought to have a battle shield."

Emily whispered to Lilith: "I think, a Holy Knight should have a steed, though."

"Emily, what did you say?"

"Huh? I... I mean, carrying such a big shield while traveling might be cumbersome."

Lette nodded holding the shield: "That’s true... even though I can lift it, it is indeed quite heavy..."

All of a sudden, a beam of Holy Light unexpectedly descended from the sky, heading straight for Lette.

Lette had a moment of inspiration, immediately raised the shield to intercept it.

The Holy Light struck and was instantly absorbed by the Black Shield. Platinum-colored patterns emerged, making the shield look both ancient and elegant.

Adros couldn’t help but exclaim: "This is! The Divine Blessing! This shield has become a Divine Blessing Artifact!"

Taylor looked bewildered: "What’s that?"

Adros was slightly exasperated: "Have you skipped every class? A Blessing Artifact is a highly unstable object, dangerous compared to a Holy Artifact.

But a Divine Blessing Artifact created from a Divine Blessing doesn’t have the instability, yet retains the power of a Blessing Artifact!

It’s a rare treasure, sought after but seldom found!"

Lette, holding the shield, felt a warm and familiar sensation wash over him.

He naturally knew who exactly had granted this Divine Blessing.

"This battle shield shall be named... Holy Shield·Embrace of the Goddess."

Greybeard gave a thumbs up: "Hmm... good name! It’s up there with my solid and thick Black Shield."

"...Are you asking to be the first victim under this shield?"

"A shield is a Defensive Weapon, isn’t it?"

"Can also be a deadly weapon!"

Just as everyone was celebrating Lette’s acquisition of the new treasure shield, a frantic shout suddenly came from behind.

"Not good, not good! Lette! Lette, are you here? Something big has happened!"

Turning back, they saw the Red Archbishop Delman galloping hastily into the camp, completely disregarding the dignity of an Archbishop, waving a letter in hand.

"Quick! Quickly come! Something big has happened!"

Lette signaled Taylor and Adros to hold back the crowd, then quickly stepped forward to the Red Archbishop.

"Archbishop, what’s going on?"

"Dragon Island... has disappeared!"

"Dis...disappeared? What do you mean by that?"

"You... you should see for yourself!"

Lette put away the Sin Light Holy Sword into his right hand’s back and placed the Holy Shield·Embrace of the Goddess onto his left forearm.

He took the letter and opened it, his expression rapidly changing.

The letter was sent by the Red Robed People stationed at Kedrus Harbor of the First Empire, according to what was written, this Kedrus is the continent’s closest port to Dragon Island.

Merchant ships and fishing boats that traveled in and out of there always caught sight of the dangerous and mysterious Dragon Island.

But a few days ago, a thick fog enveloped the entire harbor.

After the fog cleared, people went back to sea, only to find that the Dragon Island had mysteriously vanished!

And the area of the Forbidden Sea Area, previously extremely dangerous, had become navigable.

People even dived into the sea to look for Dragon Island, to see if it had sunk, only to come up empty-handed.

As if the fog had swallowed Dragon Island whole.

He realized that this situation was extremely unusual, that’s why he sent the news back swiftly and urgently.

After reading the letter, Lette’s face alternated between dark and bright.

"Lette, do you think it’s the work of The Liar Demon?"

"Hard to say..."

"Or maybe, Dragon Island hid itself, fearing The Liar Demon?"

"Hard to say! There’s too little information available."

The Red Archbishop worryingly stated: "This... isn’t a trivial issue."

Lette nodded: "Seems like we have to set off earlier."
