Here, the Lord said this is a good thing

?

Maintaining a blank expression, Ye He looked at the Phantom Knight standing beside him with a puzzled look.

He has been touching this stone that has no effect on him for almost two minutes. Why haven't these people allowed him to complete the test yet?

"Uh……"

The Phantom Knight opened his mouth, but was so surprised that nothing happened that he didn't know what to say.

The officer next to him was laughing so hard that he could hardly stop.

This is right!

Although a normal person can only touch the Monument of Sanity for a maximum of one minute, he will fall into a coma due to the excessive decrease in sanity.

But since this Lord Knight of Destruction is a knight recognized by the emperor, it seems only natural that he would ignore the influence of the Monument of Reason just like the five great knights.

"It's okay... But you don't feel anything at all?"

The Phantom Knight finally stopped this meaningless test, but he was very curious about Ye He's condition.

If Ye He is a human in abnormal disguise, the Monument of Reason, which is the abnormal source stone, will have a great attraction to him, causing him to reveal his abnormal identity.

But since Ye He remained indifferent from beginning to end, he is at least not abnormal.

But... he is not the King's Knight, so why did he ignore the sanity-reducing effect of the Monument of Sanity?

This monument of sanity is the largest in the empire, and also the one with the greatest and best "testing" effect.

"Feel?"

Ye He scratched his head shyly and asked the Phantom Knight:

"How should I feel?"

"Like... dizziness... never mind."

As soon as the Phantom Knight saw Ye He's clear eyes from beginning to end, he knew that this monument of sanity could not challenge the upper limit of Ye He's sanity value at all.

"No, but..."

But Ye He frowned at the Monument of Reason in front of him in front of the Phantom Knight.

“This thing…gives me the same feeling as the anomaly that destroyed my village. It’s disgusting.

When I saw the anomaly, I almost vomited bile."

The Phantom Knight's eyes lit up when he heard this, but his expression immediately became serious.

Ye He's statement immediately reminded her of a terrible thing that the scholars had determined might exist.

The king of anomalies!

According to scholars’ classification, it can also be called...the source of the seventh-level anomaly!
If this is really such a terrifying thing, then it is not surprising that Ye He is no longer affected by the Monument of Reason after escaping from it once.

"Congratulations on passing the test. Your mental toughness is second to none among those below the emperor and the knight!"

This compliment came from the bottom of their hearts from the Phantom Knights. More than a month ago, the five knights had fought their way into the southeast of the continent with their individual strength.

At the closest distance they could reach, they took a peek at the city where the unusual chaos first broke out.

But just a peek into that hellish city, without seeing the true form of the most terrifying King of Anomalies, was enough to deal a mental blow to every knight, forcing them to retreat.

Recalling the horrific experience, Phantom Knight couldn't help but look back at Ye He as he was walking on the way to the banquet venue.

Maybe this boy has faced it before. His ability to withstand pollution... might be even higher than those knights!
The king made a prompt decision, ignoring other resistance and awarding this amazing young man the Knight Badge of Recognition. It was indeed a wise decision.

"Oh! Our hero is here! Welcome, Lord Knight of Destruction!"

The banquet hall was filled with high-ranking officials of the Imperial Army and their families. The mayor of the Second City and local nobles had already evacuated to the heart of the Empire along with the refugee civilians.

The men here all wore military uniforms like Ye He, and many of the ladies also wore military uniforms. Only a few young women would wear evening dresses suitable for banquets like the Phantom Knight.

These people's enthusiasm and respect for Yehe are genuine. Thanks to Yehe's great power this morning, all the abnormal crazes were solved once and for all, so that the officers here did not have to risk their lives.

The empire of this era was very interesting. The soldiers' families would accompany them to defend the city. In this case, the soldiers would do their best to fight on the front line in order to avoid their families being destroyed after the city was captured.

Regardless of the aftereffects, at least when facing such a terrible genocide-type disaster as the Anomaly, the morale of the Imperial Army was very solid.

It is for this reason that these officers were so enthusiastic about Ye He at the welcome dinner held for Ye He.

Just like the officer stationed at the quartermaster department just now, who wouldn't like to have a strong man like Ye He on their side who can turn the tide of the battle by himself, or even directly secure the victory?

Fight for military merit? You have to survive to fight for it.

Moreover, military merits can still be obtained in many areas such as consolidating the battle lines, cleaning up the battlefield, etc.

Ye He was annoyed by these people from the beginning, so he simply pretended to be inexperienced and extremely shy, and kept hiding beside the Phantom Knight.

Unless he nodded in greeting to the senior military officers introduced to him by the Phantom Knight, the rest of the time he was busy complaining to the Phantom Knight and asking to leave.

The Phantom Knight seemed to have felt the same thing as the Ice Knight... the peculiar feeling of taking care of a junior. She blocked many toasts for Ye He, and also stopped those ladies who were attracted by his age and gender.

During this process, Ye He also took the opportunity to get closer to Phantom Knight. He even started calling her "sister" all the time, and finally coaxed Phantom Knight to take him away from the banquet hall.

"Haha... I didn't expect you to be so shy. Didn't your people teach you how to chat with the opposite sex? Aren't you, Bing and I able to talk properly?"

The Phantom Knight was a little tipsy without realizing it. She took Ye He to a rooftop far away from the banquet hall. Seeing that there was no one around, she couldn't help but make fun of the embarrassed Ye He.

"I... your eyes are different from theirs. They want to eat me!"

Ye He maintained his own character and portrayed the image of a timid boy who was ignorant of the world to the fullest.

He also deliberately complained to Phantom Knight:
"Have those women been contaminated by anomalies? Why would they want to eat people? This is horrible! Why don't you do anything about them?"

"Hehehe...they don't mean what you think they mean by 'eating'. It means..."

The more the tipsy Phantom Knight looked at Ye He, the more interesting he found him. This little boy with clear eyes and knowing nothing is the easiest to bully!

She couldn't help but feel playful, not realizing that she was falling step by step into the pure trap that Ye He had set for her.

Because just when the Phantom Knight had to block the wine for Ye He, Ye He also received a new countermeasure:
[Obtain targeted countermeasures: Phantom Knight - Alcoholism. ]

It turns out that Phantom Knight's weakness is alcohol. No wonder she looked so uncomfortable when she drank the first glass of wine, but she drank one glass after another with indulgence.

Ye He has already realized that even though the Phantom Knight is still standing so steadily, she is actually about 70% drunk.

She only relied on her strong physique to maintain her composure in front of Ye He. In fact, her alcohol tolerance and drinking habits were very poor.

The most obvious evidence was her response just now. Ye He also seized the opportunity and asked her curiously:

"It's not what I meant by 'eat'? But their hungry eyes..."

"Giggle!"

The Phantom Knight was obviously laughing even more happily. The evening breeze on the rooftop had awakened a lot of her rationality, making her barely refrain from getting even more crazy towards the drunken boy in front of her.

But will Ye He let her go?

Ye He suddenly laughed and took out a bottle of wine from behind! "Ha! Fortunately, I secretly hid a bottle of wine! Wine is a good thing. In our village, we only drink wine during sacrifices. I didn't expect it to be so common here!"

liqueur?
The Phantom Knight raised his eyebrows vigorously and licked his lips involuntarily.

But she still resisted the urge to snatch the bottle of wine from Ye He's hand.

She had indeed drunk almost enough. If she continued drinking... she didn't know what she would do.

"Boom!"

The sound of uncorking the wine cork made Phantom Knight raise his eyebrows.

"Gudong!"

The sound of someone taking a sip of wine from the bottle made her swallow involuntarily.

"Wow!"

Ye He deliberately sprayed a mouthful of wine on the ground, then looked at the bottle and cursed in front of the Phantom Knight:

"What kind of wine is this? Why does it smell so strongly of wood? It's so unpalatable, I'm throwing it away..."

"and many more!"

The Phantom Knight, who finally couldn't hold back his thirst for alcohol, rushed over. Ye He had just raised the bottle and was about to throw it when she snatched away all the remaining wine.

"You... you ignorant fool! This is good wine! Who told you to waste it like this?"

Seeing the Phantom Knight holding the bottle of wine and feeling sorry for the wine he spit out on the ground, Ye He knew that she had been completely hooked.

"Good wine? I don't think so. I'll give it to you if you like it."

"Hmph! Drink!"

With the bottle in hand, Phantom Knight could no longer resist the tempting aroma of the wine. She did not care that Ye He had just blew into the bottle, she lifted the bottle and drank it mouthfully.

"Ha... hehehe! Good wine!"

After taking a sip of the wine, the Phantom Knight could no longer control himself and kept drinking it.

In a daze, she suddenly saw Ye He muttering, "Fortunately I stole a bottle," and then he took out another bottle of wine with more exquisite packaging and higher quality!

"You...hiccup! You...you can't drink it, give it to me, give it to me!"

It just so happened that the bottle in her hand was empty, so she threw the empty bottle away and rushed towards Ye He, trying to snatch the bottle from Ye He's hand.

Ye He was frightened by her drunken but still swift movements, and quickly hid aside with the bottle of wine.

But he clearly dodged the Phantom Knight who was rushing towards him, but he saw the figure of this woman suddenly fade away and disappear on the spot!

But his back hit a soft and hot chest, and the reaction force almost bounced him out.

"Hey, hey! Give it to me, give me a drink!"

Words with a strong smell of alcohol rang in Ye He's ears. He just turned around in surprise, and he felt his hands were empty, and his face was pressed into something soft.

“Mm! Mm…”

"Hey hey hey!"

The Phantom Knight held Ye He's head in his arms and ignored Ye He's struggle.

She bit open the cork of the bottle of wine she had snatched with her mouth, raised her head with satisfaction and took a sip of the wine.

The large amount of alcohol destroyed Phantom Knight's sanity. She stumbled and sat down against the wall, but continued to drink gulp after gulp of wine.

Ye He, whose facial features had been sealed by her, was dragged by him and almost lay on her. Ye He was also a little angry.

This is why he hates drunkards the most. Drunk guys are completely irrational!
But now Ye He's body is just that of a teenager. He does not have enough strength to break free from the arms of the Phantom Knight.

As a last resort, Ye He could only open his mouth and bite!
"Um……"

The Phantom Knight's body trembled, and she finally put down the bottle and grabbed Ye He's head.

"You bad brother! How dare you bite your sister there!"

"Ha...ha...I'm almost suffocated by you, you..."

Ye He felt a little regretful. He shouldn't have induced the Phantom Knight to get drunk. He almost suffocated just now.

But what he didn't expect was that the Phantom Knight neither sobered up after being stimulated, nor did he intend to let him go.

She grabbed Ye He's head and said fiercely to him face to face:

"Bad brother! Stupid brother! Apologize now!"

Feeling the force of the hand that was about to crush his head, Ye He could only force a smile at this drunkard:
"I'm sorry... sis."

"Hey, that's good! Hehehe... um..."

The Phantom Knight smiled and gave this bad brother a kiss. She suddenly felt that Ye He's lips tasted good, so she hugged Ye He's head and kissed him passionately.

“Well… good brother… you can’t bite here, you can only suck or lick… well, that’s it…”

In a state of confusion and passion, Phantom Knight felt hot all over and began to do things that she would never do under normal circumstances.

And Ye He, who had suffered a great loss before, naturally had to take revenge on the Phantom Knight!
[Obtain targeted countermeasures: Phantom Knight - Double the pleasure. ]

……

Quiet early morning.

When Ye He woke up, he saw the neatly dressed Phantom Knight as soon as he opened his eyes, and also noticed that he was dressed as well.

The Phantom Knight heard the change in his breathing, turned around, and smiled at Ye He as if nothing had happened:

"Good morning, Mr. He, it seems you got drunk last night and slept here all night."

"Drunk?"

Ye He was stunned for a moment.

"Yes, you were drunk, so you slept on this rooftop all night. I stayed with you all night! You're welcome."

Caesar's "recorded broadcast" and the smile of the Phantom Knight as he crushed the truth into fantasy and reshaped it, all appeared in front of Ye He.

"Is... is that so? Sorry, the wine here is too... I seldom drink. I can only have a glass during the village sacrifice."

Following the Phantom Knight's instructions, Ye He touched his head and stood up in confusion, as if nothing had happened last night.

"I see a messenger coming. There may be new military intelligence. Let's go back and take a look."

The Phantom Knight walked down the stairs with a smile, acting as if nothing had happened. Ye He also selectively ignored the broken wine bottle she had hidden in the corner of the rooftop and followed her obediently.
