He has so many praiseworthy deeds to his name, such as slaying the monstrous Karthus and eliminating the Holy Son of the Earth Mother Church who was Evil God's Corruption, yet everyone knows about his capture of the Snow Woman and the Blood Elf?

It has to be said that Carlos's cheerful personality allows him to instantly bridge the gap with strangers. He can become friends with a complete stranger in just a few words, which is quite a talent.

Then Carlos winked at Qin Chu again, his slightly ambiguous gaze falling on Natia: "Why is the Hero with Miss Natia? Are you two on a date?"

Qin Chu quickly shook his head. "No, no, no, it was just an accident. I wanted to learn more about the Skyvault Continent, and I didn't expect to run into Natia in the library."

"I see." Carlos paused briefly, his smile unchanged, but Qin Chu could sense that Carlos seemed to have breathed a sigh of relief.

Look at Carlos, then look at Natia on the other side.

Even if Qin Chu was slow-witted, he basically understood what was going on.

Perhaps it's because their ages and strengths are similar, and Natia is petite yet voluptuous with delicate features; could Carlos have fallen for Natia?

This is normal. Natia has always had many suitors. There are quite a few talented young men among the nobility who are loyal suitors of Natia. Qin Chu just didn't expect that Carlos would be one of them.

However, beneath this man's sunny exterior lies a truly wicked and treacherous heart. Was his deliberate mention of the Snow Woman and the Blood Elf specifically meant for Natia to hear?

Was he trying to convince Natia that he was a lecherous scoundrel?

Sorry, Natia already knows all this, and your nagging here is probably pointless.

Carlos breathed a slight sigh of relief, then turned his gaze to Natia, placing one hand across his chest and giving an elegant gentlemanly bow. "Miss Natia, do you have time? If so, I would like to invite you to dinner tonight... Ah, and of course, Hero, please do me the honor of joining us."

"Sorry, I don't have time."

Qin Chu was absolutely certain that he had been dragged into this situation.

Although he wasn't really interested, Natia's decisive refusal still made Qin Chu want to laugh, especially the moment Carlos's face froze, which Qin Chu found particularly comical.

You're facing Natia...

Carlos looked embarrassed and didn't know what to say for a moment. He then noticed the words on the page of the book Natia had placed on the table. "Miss Natia, are you interested in the Kasidal Forest? Perhaps I can give you some different information about it."

"Hmm?" Natia finally raised her head. This was the first time in a long time that Natia had looked Carlos in the eye.

In Natia's eyes, there are only her twelve masters on Sage Mountain, plus her best friend Louisa... and now Qin Chu too.

Apart from these people, Natia had no interest in getting involved with anyone else.

Seeing that his topic had attracted Natia's attention, Carlos became slightly excited and quickly said, "It's like this, everyone outside thinks that everyone who entered the Kasidal Forest died, but actually, one adventurer from the Adventurer's Guild escaped alive..."

Natia immediately became interested. "What's over there?"

Qin Chu also perked up his ears.

Second update delivered. Thanks to saurk for the reward and for your support.

Chapter 313 Rosweisse: You don't want others to know those things either.

Is that right? (3)

What a pleasant surprise!

Unexpectedly, he had the opportunity to learn about the Kasidal Forest from his enemy, Carlos. This was extremely important for Qin Chu, who was currently preparing to explore the area but knew very little about it.

Carlos looked somewhat embarrassed, seemingly because Qin Chu was unsure how to broach the subject.

Seeing that Carlos remained silent, Natia suspiciously, "Lord Carlos, why aren't you saying anything?"

"Is it because information from the Adventurer's Guild needs to be purchased? How much? I'll buy it," Natia said quickly.

Money has never been a problem for her. She doesn't even know exactly how much money she has, but she figured it would be more than enough to buy this information.

Even Carlos was somewhat exasperated by Natia's naivety. He scratched his head and said, "Fine, if Miss Natia wants to know, I'll tell you."

"That adventurer is a thief, level seventy-something."

"While his strength cannot compare to the Grand Sage, Title Knight, and War God who have explored the forests, it is still quite good. Moreover, he possesses a special talent that allows him to completely conceal his whereabouts, making him several levels above the Invisibility Spell of ordinary thieves. Even those stronger than him would find it difficult to detect him."

"I don't know what he went through in the great forest, because he went mad when he came back. Even though I hired an archbishop from the Holy Church to treat him, it was no use. His mind was completely confused."

"They just kept repeating things like heart, Vampire, and monster."

He also said that the great forest was full of ghosts, demons.

Natia and Qin Chu both frowned deeply.

Qin Chu knew what a heart was; the Second-Generation Jello had also seen that enormous heart.

But why are Vampire, monsters, and ghosts not described in Soul Fragment? Is it because these beings pose no threat to Second-Generation Jello, so they are simply omitted?

Moreover, he went mad after returning. Among all the beings Qin Chu had encountered, it seemed that nothing other than Evil God could drive someone mad.

Carlos paused briefly before continuing, "However, one thing is certain: there is indeed something in the Great Forest that can dramatically increase one's strength. Although this thief went mad after returning, his strength increased almost every day, and he became a Thief Saint in no time—unfortunately, a mad Thief Saint."

"He even stabbed his own ear with a dagger, saying that someone was constantly talking in his ear, but even after destroying his ear, the voice seemed to keep echoing in his ear."

"Until finally, he could no longer bear the torment of the whispered words in his ear and committed suicide."

"So, if Miss Natia wants to go to the Great Forest, I advise you to give up. That place is extremely eerie."

Natia memorized all these words, and a few seconds later Natia took out a thick stack of at least a hundred ten-thousand- Mana banknotes and placed them on the table.

This should be considered an intelligence fee.

Qin Chu's lips trembled slightly. As expected of the Grand Sage of Sage Mountain, he was a man who didn't lack money, casually throwing out a million.

Natia quickly put away the book she had taken out and headed straight downstairs.

She had to return to Sage Mountain as soon as possible to tell Master Zimmerman the news, and absolutely could not let him go there and risk his life.

Natia's reaction surprised Carlos, and he couldn't help but ask, "Miss Natia, about dinner..."

"Huh? I didn't agree to have dinner with you, did I?" Natia, somewhat puzzled. She didn't think there was anything wrong with her behavior. She asked, and Carlos replied that she hadn't pressured him, and that Carlos hadn't refused when she asked if she could buy the information.

Carlos's expression froze instantly. It seemed that it was indeed true; Natia hadn't agreed to have dinner with him, but had simply blurted out the information.

Moreover, the information fee offered by Natia was truly outrageous.

Qin Chu chuckled inwardly at Carlos's expression. Was Carlos a little slow on the uptake? In this situation, he should have invited Carlos to dinner first, and then revealed the information during dinner.

Natia had already put the book back, turned around, glanced at Carlos and then at Qin Chu, and added, "And, Lord Carlos..."

"The person I love is Mr. Qin. It wouldn't be appropriate for me to have dinner with other men; it would cause Mr. Qin to misunderstand."

Puff...

Qin Chu almost spat out his saliva. Good heavens, why did you have to say that last thing?

Look how angry Carlos is, his face has turned green.

Natia nodded politely, then looked at Qin Chu, her expression as calm as before. "Mr. Qin, I'll return to Sage Mountain now. Please consider my previous suggestion carefully."

Previous proposal?

Qin Chu felt his head was spinning. Was it about marrying her? Qin Chu remembered that Natia had even said that she was very rich and that he wouldn't have any problems even if he didn't have a job or income.

Qin Chu was actually a tiny bit tempted and wanted to say something like, "Rich woman, take care of me."

Natia seemed completely oblivious to the extremely awkward atmosphere. After saying a few words, she left, leaving Qin Chu and Carlos staring at each other in disbelief.

Qin Chu knew that this kid hated him, but he didn't care.

On the other side, the Holy Church!

Archbishop Cain was hurrying to the saint's boudoir.

He didn't know why the saintess had suddenly summoned him, but judging from the messenger's attitude, it must be very important.

Archbishop Cain was somewhat nervous; the Holy Church had been in complete chaos these past few days.

A vice-commander of the Holy Knights Order is suddenly exposed for a host of scandals, including embezzling six million Mana in military pay, violating Church regulations by recruiting his brother-in-law into the Holy Knights Order and giving him the important position of battalion commander, and maintaining an improper relationship with a nun...

To be honest, the Holy Knights Order is definitely a person of great power and influence.

Six million Mana? That's nothing, not worth mentioning.

Who hasn't done something like recruiting their relatives into the Church and taking extra care of them?

Maintaining an inappropriate relationship with a nun for an extended period?

Cain had to admire this guy. The Holy Church had so many beautiful nuns, and that vice-commander wielded immense power, possessed extraordinary strength, and was tall and handsome—how could he have maintained an improper relationship with only one nun all these years?

God, this guy is absolutely a gentleman.

Cain felt he was not even worthy of being a fellow priest with the other.

For those who wield significant power, these things are no big deal. I do them, you do them, he does them—everyone does the same thing, so nobody can say anything about anyone else.

However, knowing about it is one thing, but if it gets out, that's another matter entirely. In the past few days, the Holy Church has been in an uproar because of this vice-commander's affair. Even though the Pope has explicitly forbidden discussion, the nuns, priests, and Knight are all whispering about it in private... and even a large number of believers outside the Holy See are involved.

Knight, in particular, were the direct victims of their embezzled military pay.

Under the influence of some force, public sentiment was aroused. What were originally trivial matters were blown up into a huge uproar. In the end, the deputy commander could not withstand the pressure and resigned.

He was subsequently arrested and detained by the Heresy Inquisition, awaiting investigation and trial.

Cain never imagined that when those nuns, Knight, priests, and a large group of believers with no fighting ability gathered together to protest, they could bring such terrifying pressure that even the vice-captain, Title Knight, could not withstand it.

This has directly led to these high-ranking officials being extremely obedient recently, fearing that their rivals might seize even the slightest bit of dirt on them.

When Cain arrived at the door of the saint's boudoir, his heart skipped a beat for no apparent reason.

As the archbishop, he was nominally below the saintess, but in reality, the saintess was more of a figurehead than the archbishop, who held real power. He had no reason to fear Rosweisse.

For some inexplicable reason, my chest felt as heavy as if a stone had been placed on it, and I even felt a chill on the back of my neck.

Just as Cain hesitated about whether to go in, Rosweisse's voice suddenly came from inside. "Is this Archbishop Cain? Please come in."

Since it's already been discovered, there's no point in hesitating.

Cain took a deep breath and pushed open the door to the saintess's boudoir.

When Cain first saw what was inside, his mind sank.

There were two people in the room. One of them was the stunningly beautiful Saintess Rosweisse... Although he didn't know how many times he had seen Rosweisse, every time he saw her, Cain couldn't help but be deeply fascinated by the saintess's breathtaking beauty.

She is truly a very charming woman—elegant, dignified, proud, and endlessly captivating.

Perhaps she was the most beautiful of all the saintly women throughout history?

Even though Cain knew it was wrong, he sometimes couldn't control himself and would have some rebellious thoughts about the saintess.

But today, Cain had absolutely no such thought in his mind whatsoever.

Because...

Right behind Rosweisse stood another man.

The man was tall and thin, dressed in a crimson robe, the color of the trial of heretics. He had a high nose bridge, and his light gray eyes gave off an Abyss- like sinister feeling. His long, sea-blue hair was messy like seaweed, making him appear somewhat unkempt within the Holy Church.

But this man made Cain's breath catch in his throat slightly.

His expression was somewhat subdued, and he inwardly cursed his bad luck.

Because this man was none other than Douglas, the Heresy Inquisition.

He was the second most powerful figure in the entire Holy Church, second only to Pope Augustus in status and strength.

What's Douglas doing here?

Although there are rumors that Douglas and Saint Rosweisse are very close...

In an instant, a multitude of thoughts flashed through Archbishop Cain's mind.

When Douglas's gray eyes fixed on him, Archbishop Cain felt as if a huge vortex had appeared beneath his feet, frantically tearing at and wrapping around his body, trying to drag him into that boundless Abyss.

His Adam's apple bobbed slightly. "Your Highness, Cardinal... what brings you here?"

Rosweisse, who was flipping through a black notebook, simply put it down upon hearing this, then smiled slightly at Cain. The smile was beautiful, but the words that escaped her cherry lips made Archbishop Cain's scalp tingle:

"Archbishop Cain... you wouldn't want others to know about the dirty things you've done, would you?"

Rosweisse has gone astray too!

Judging from seniority, Rosweisse should be considered a great-grand-disciple.
