The incarnations of the five Knights of the Round Table…
At this moment, Manolan only felt cold all over, and his hands and feet were stiff uncontrollably.
Cold sweat oozed from his forehead and then slid down his cheeks.
All the tea party members behind him held their breath, looking shocked and confused.
The living room was dead silent, the atmosphere was eerie and depressing.
Damn it!
Manolan roared in his heart.
How did things turn out like this?!
The divinations were interrupted three times in a row!
So many high-ranking people acting together distorted the predictions he had received.
Misled!
I walked headfirst into this damn trap!
He knew clearly that he had no chance of winning against the five saints! Even if he still had the manuscript left by the president, it was still useless! This was a completely one-sided battle, and no matter how hard he struggled, nothing would change!
The most crucial point is that the space here is disturbed and they can't escape by flying over the clouds!
The road ahead will lead to death, and the road back will be cut off.
It's all over!
All the tea party members present, including myself, are doomed!
"I heard that you want to recruit Jack from our club?"
At this time, a burly Knight of the Round Table spoke in a steady and powerful voice.
She was nearly two meters tall, with explosive muscles all over her body. She was fully armed with retro armor, a black cloak wrapped around her neck and chest, leaving only her head exposed, and a serious and rigid expression on her face.
Chen Lun had previously learned through the introduction of Knight Mulenga that this Knight of the Round Table was named Ginsberg. The other two knights he met for the first time were named Bindu and Yasmin.
Among the Knights of the Round Table, it was these five knights present who appreciated and valued Chen Lun.
"This... This is a misunderstanding, Your Majesty the Knight."
Manolan opened his mouth, his voice dry.
"Misunderstand?"
Another female knight, Yasmine, folded her elbows and said coldly.
She wore a half-open knight's helmet on her head with the visor turned up, revealing her fair and delicate face. Her strange long gray hair was braided into three pigtails behind her head.
"Don't treat us like fools. Since you have chosen to intervene in the fight for seats within the Mutual Aid Association, you should know that the Black Knife Brotherhood and the Murder Club are mortal enemies... Standing on opposite sides and trying to poach our members, none of you can leave today!"
Knight Yasmin was filled with murderous intent.
Manolan felt as if he had fallen into an icy cave, with his hands and feet freezing cold.
The tall Bindu Knight smiled and turned to Chen Lun and said:
"Jack, didn't you say that the Evening Tea Party would come over with what you needed?"
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Chen Lun held his silver cane, took off his hat and smiled.
He explained to him, as well as the other four Knights of the Round Table, that he had been stuck at Sequence 6 for some time and lacked the extraordinary knowledge required for subsequent advancement. The Evening Tea Party was an organization of extraordinary people from the Path of Destiny and had what he needed.
"But detaining Anderson and Weiss and letting the Evening Tea Club bring extraordinary knowledge and gold pounds to redeem them is just a delaying tactic... to buy time and convey the message to the knights."
Chen Lun bowed slightly.
The expressions of the five Knights of the Round Table changed subtly, and then they all smiled kindly.
"You're pretty good, Jack."
The tall Ginsburg laughed.
The Knights of the Round Table's admiration was very obvious. First, it was because Jack performed his duties conscientiously and did not betray the club because of the temptation of the evening tea party. They even chose to turn against him on the spot and detained Anderson and Weiss.
Second, knowing that the other party possessed the knowledge for promotion, he suppressed his own desires and cravings and reported the situation to them truthfully... In fact, Jack could have reached an agreement with the Evening Tea Party in private without their knowledge and deliberately let the two detained people go.
But he didn't.
Jack's series of actions won the favor and appreciation of the five Knights of the Round Table.
"This is a loyal cadre with great potential who knows how to judge the situation."
They gave such comments silently.
If we add one more sentence, it would be:
“It’s worth focusing on training!”
On the other side, Manolan and others seemed a little confused.
The scene fell into dead silence again.
They were anxious and although they didn't know what would happen next, they knew that it would not be a good outcome.
"Where's the 'ransom' that Jack asked you to bring? Hand it over."
Knight Bindu was the first to break the deadlock and turned to Manolan.
"Although I won't let you go, I will be a little more polite to you during the 'communication session' later... The two things that conspiracy path extraordinary people are best at, besides killing, are interrogation. You probably don't want to try our methods yourself, right?"
She said with a smile on her face.
As a Knight of the Round Table, Bindu did not mind talking a little more about Jack, an outstanding cadre. After all, even if the club rewarded Jack, it could not give him the extraordinary knowledge of destiny that he wanted.
The only way is to start from the evening tea party.
"this… "
Manolan’s face suddenly twisted.
The strong sense of uneasiness made him fall into a state of confusion.
When he led the team out, he had not thought about "ransom" at all, so he did not carry either the extraordinary knowledge of Destiny Sequence 5 or the gold pounds.
To be honest, there were only several hundred gold pound certificates in the wallet and a bag of no more than fifty silver cups...
"I'm sorry, Your Majesty the Knight."
Manolan took a deep breath and lowered his head and said.
"Um?"
Bindu frowned slightly.
Peggy on the side sneered and pointed at everyone at the evening tea party and said:
"It seems that they had no intention of negotiating with Jack from the beginning. Instead, they were prepared to use force to rescue people... If possible, they would even force Jack to sign some kind of contract and force him to join the evening tea party."
The other four Knights of the Round Table looked indifferent.
"In that case, we'll have no choice but to go to your base and look for it ourselves."
Bindu said indifferently.
"Tell us everything you know, including the locations of all bases, the specific plans with the Black Knife Brotherhood, and the list of participants at the tea party..."
A strong murderous aura began to emanate from her body, and a dark shadow behind her rose and swayed like flames.
Everyone's faces changed drastically at the evening tea party.
An overwhelming sense of oppression came surging over me.
Manolan's heart was like a small boat struggling in a storm on the sea. He gritted his teeth and held on, and began to pray silently to the president and the acting president.
Pray that they can hear their own voices...

In a dream of nothingness.
An unknown prosperous kingdom is bustling with people at this moment.
The widest street was crowded with people and colorful confetti were flying in the sky.
The men on the roadside crowded together, their faces flushed, raising their fists and shouting the names of the heroes, while on the balconies of the houses on both sides, the women leaned against the stone railings, waving the bright silk in their hands, their eyes fascinated, their cheeks flushed, and screaming and cheering loudly.
In the middle of the street, teams of knights sat on tall horses, their armor shining brightly in the sun.
Behind them, hundreds of strong laborers were pulling a huge iron-board cart, carrying the corpse of a huge evil dragon.
On the dragon's head, there was a huge sword inlaid with many gems.
A handsome blond young man was sitting on the head of the evil dragon, leaning against a big sword, waving in response to the civilians around him.
"Alex!"
"Our hero!"
"The savior who slew the dragon!"
Alex listened to the shouts and was immersed in joy and lightness.
The colorful confetti falling from the sky landed on him like a gorgeous coronation robe, and the cheers of the people seemed to be a praise for him, an epic tune that would be passed down through the ages. Looking at the long staircase not far ahead, he seemed to see the beautiful princess who was waiting to be married standing at the gate of the palace at the end.
But he didn't notice at all that among the crowded crowd of men on both sides of the road, there was a cloaked man hiding in a dark corner.
The mysterious man hidden under the cloak chuckled and said with emotion:
"I didn't expect you to have this side..."
The story of the hero Alex killing the dragon and saving the country spread throughout the kingdom, and the whole city cheered.
The king crowned him personally and betrothed the princess to him on the spot.
That night.
At the bonfire party in the palace courtyard, Alex was dancing with the beautiful princess, and the people around him applauded enthusiastically.
Alex felt his heart beating faster as he looked at the girl who was so close to him.
The fragrance at the tip of his nose made him intoxicated.
But he soon discovered something strange. His gaze passed over the princess' shoulders and he could see a man shrouded in a cloak among the onlookers. He was staring at him intently. He neither clapped nor cheered, which looked extremely strange and suspicious.
Alex gently comforted the princess, stopped dancing, frowned, pointed at the man, and said in a tone that only ancient nobles would use:
"Who are you? I don't remember seeing you in the palace."
The cloaked man stepped forward and touched his chest in salute.
"I am just a poor man lost in a dream..."
He pulled down the hood of his cloak, revealing the face of a man who had experienced many hardships.
His blond hair was neatly combed back, but there were two strands of hair falling messily in front of his forehead, which was meticulous yet a little unruly. The man looked a little haggard, with deep dark circles under his eyes, as if he had been lacking sleep for a long time.
The man smiled bitterly, lowered his upper body even lower, and then spoke:
"Philip deeply apologizes for accidentally entering your Majesty's world."
Alex's expression became more confused and his brows were furrowed.
"What on earth are you talking about?"
The blond man named Philip's eyes narrowed, revealing a hint of confusion.
It seems that the other party's performance is different from what I expected.
But at this moment.
The cheerful laughter and applause around them disappeared instantly. The princess in front of Alex had a frozen expression. Except for the two of them, everyone present was still.
It was as if time had stopped at this moment.
A silver circle slowly emerged in Alex's eyes, and his expression became indifferent, and he looked at Philip in front of him quietly.
a long time.
"So it's you..."
Alex finally spoke, but his voice seemed like a different person, solemn and indifferent, seeming both near and far away.
"It seems that you have not escaped from the captivity of the Sigh Lady, but why are you here?"
"Your Majesty..."
Philip opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to say.
In the end, he just shook his head helplessly.
"Something unexpected happened in the dream world, and I was only temporarily freed... I had planned to find Jack and tell him something, but I didn't expect to be dragged into this dream world that belongs to you."
