Daily News: Insect Girls' Heavy Dependence

The group quickly arrived at the underground plaza downstairs.

Then they saw an exceptionally burly man lift his cloak.

His voice was laced with suppressed anger, as he gripped the knife and fork in his hand like a crumpled piece of metal, the words forced out through clenched teeth:

"Father... this food is far from enough! Not enough...! I'm still hungry, they simply can't meet my needs! I need to go to the black market for more food..."

"I understand you, child, but please endure hunger and restrain your desires, so that you may become a true human being."

Father John began to offer advice.

"Father... I'm so hungry! Not enough to eat! Not enough to eat! I need to leave! I'm so grateful for your care, but I really... please! Please let me be a bounty hunter again..."

The burly man slammed down his plate and got up to leave.

Father John remained silent.

He understood that if he couldn't handle today's events well, His Highness Louis might change his mind...

His aged face showed neither joy nor sorrow.

She silently approached the burly man. His fingertips transformed into sharp claws, slicing through the veins of her other hand.

He picked up another cup and filled it with glowing, hot blood.

Each priest possesses a Flame Worm within him, and at the third tier, their Flame Worm will choose to mutate and evolve into a power sequence called the Light Worm.

This is similar to how Govy's Amethyst Worm is a power sequence of the Earth Demon Worm.

Father John handed the still-steaming cup to the burly man.

"Lost child, drink this; it is food I offer willingly."

Father John's face grew even paler, but his eyes softened.

The burly man stared blankly at the "Holy Grail" before him, then suddenly knelt on the ground.

After hesitating for a moment, he took the cup and drank it all in one gulp.

He then returned to his seat, sat upright, placed his hands on his lap, and recited the Bible.

Father John confirmed that none of the insectoids were abnormal.

He looked at Louis:

"Your Highness, let's talk about it upstairs..."

Louis did not get angry; he helped Father John to sit down.

"No! We can go on our own... There's no need to see us off. You are a true saint. I will propose this to my father at an appropriate time..."

After speaking, Louis looked at Richard:

"Go back with your sister Julia first. I have some things to discuss with Father John..."

Julia remained silent throughout, and it was Richard who responded to Louis.

……

Led by the Storm Rider, they arrived at the lobby on the first floor of the Egret Church.

The sky had now completely darkened.

Through the church's stained-glass windows, Richard could see that the street was not entirely dark.

Even ignoring the streetlights along the street, the entire commercial street is filled with glowing signs.

Richard could tell that the citizens of New Rome must have an extremely vibrant nightlife.

They no longer looked at the bustling street scenes outside, nor at the knight legion that had been guarding the square for so long.

There must be some special rule in the August family's knightly legion that even the legion commander has not stepped into the White Heron Church.

But after discovering Richard's presence, they breathed a sigh of relief and reported to their superiors that the target was still safe.

Richard looked at his two sound-transmitting sea snails.

The third-tier communication conch shell hanging around the neck did not have its tri-colored patterns lit up, indicating that the other party was not within communication range...

He picked up the fourth-tier one again. Although its four-colored pattern was very bright, Richard did not respond to any of his attempts to communicate with it.

Even though he knew that the contact person for this fourth-tier telepathic conch was Buck... there was no guarantee that old geezer Buck might be nearby when Yekalin was dealing with family affairs.

Richard was thinking: Yekaterin hasn't responded to him yet, she must still be busy, right? So he shouldn't bother her...

However, this autistic child was completely unaware of this.

Yekaterin heard the sound of him being beaten to death by the birdman.

Those Storm Knights were at most people sent by Yekaterin to protect her, not people who came to search for him after learning of his misfortune…

……

Sitting in the church counting the stars outside the window, I waited for who knows how long, but Louis never came up.

Julia was holding a communication conch shell, seemingly conversing with some princess. It's truly baffling what topic could keep them talking for so long…

Richard was really bored.

He stretched and walked to the square in front of the Egret Church.

He waved to the legion commander.

He quickly ran up to Richard, clenched his fist and pounded it on his chest in a salute.

"Young master, is there anything I can help you with?"

"Do you know where Yekaterin is now? Do you have any way to contact her?"

The legion commander was somewhat confused, but quickly replied:

"Young Master, we were not sent by Miss Yekaterin. We are the 10th Combined Squadron of the Third General Regiment of the August family. We report directly to our superior officer..."

The legion commander didn't finish speaking, which left Richard completely bewildered.

Weren't they sent by Catherine? But I knew Catherine in New Rome.

Richard continued asking questions:

"Is it possible that your superior's superior is Yekaterin? May I speak with your direct superior?"

The legion commander looked troubled; he had not received such an order!

The instructions simply stated to locate the black-haired nobleman in the portrait, ensure his safety at all times, and await further instructions from superiors.

It didn't say that we had to unconditionally meet all the target's demands.

"Young Master, we can't actually contact our superiors right now either. After using the communication conch worm, there was no response from the officers."

"All right……"

Richard was truly out of options; he wasn't the type to make things difficult for minor characters.

And at this very moment.

Shangcheng District.

The central castle complex.

These are the core mansions of the August family. The site covers an area of ​​30,000 square meters.

I wish I could cover the entire floor with glowing insect lamps...

Even at night, there is no difference from daytime. Perhaps that is why the passage of time is so imperceptible.

In the most luxurious conference room.

The chair set, made from the armor and fangs of a colossal insect beast, was displayed. The heads of fourth-tier insect beasts almost covered the entire wall.

The Bishui Chong tea, which is as precious as the Green Tea Chong tea, has been changed round after round.

We adhere to the principle of holding large meetings for minor matters and small meetings for major matters.

This meeting, which consisted of only four people, had lasted for a full five hours since Richard's attack.

Although there are only four important figures.

But Richard recognized two of them; they were Yekaterin and Buck!

Yekalin looked extremely tired, her eyes were red and swollen... she had cried more than once.

Buck, sitting on her side, was still very energetic.

He continued to berate the two old geezers opposite him!

That's right!

There were also two skeletons on the opposite side.

Naturally, these are the other two fourth-tier powerhouses from the August family!
