Chapter 69 Holy Temple Knights
Lucas University, rumors were flying everywhere.
Ever since Nilo arrived at Lucas University, there had never been peace. Previously, he had already caused turmoil that even affected outside the university.
Now, it was rumored he had brought a slave army, all composed of Deadpools.
There were already rumors claiming that Nilo's visit to Lucas University would definitely stir up trouble; he wouldn't spare Lucas University.
If it were someone else, perhaps the students of Lucas University would have doubts, but this was Nilo—his savagery had left a very deep impression. Daring to strike a fellow student such as Wal in public, Nilo was someone who acted without any principles.
There was no doubt; Nilo would definitely cause trouble.
Even when Nilo was still a student at Lucas University, he dared to be so rampant. Now, as a prince of Baloma Kingdom, leading his men here, this time, Lucas University might see bloodshed.
"Really bad luck," someone muttered quietly within the campus.
"Indeed bad luck, Miss Elizabeth is about to celebrate her coming-of-age ceremony, which should be a joyous occasion. The school had also been recovering from the previous incidents, almost forgotten, but this plague has come back," another person also expressed displeasure.
The previously joyous atmosphere due to Elizabeth's upcoming birthday had already vanished, overshadowed by the news of Nilo's impending arrival at Lucas University.
"During the last incident, Elizabeth played a decisive role in the end. I'm afraid Nilo will hold a grudge, and the first person he might go after would be Princess Elizabeth."
"This is Lucas Star, and Elizabeth is the princess of Lucas Star. Would a prince from Baloma Kingdom dare to attack the princess here?" someone nearby scoffed. Nilo wasn't that foolish, and the school couldn't possibly ignore such an incident.
The people from Baloma Kingdom weren't that foolish either. If they wanted to start a war, they wouldn't send emissaries.
"Besides Elizabeth, Xu Mo seems to have offended Nilo quite severely too?"
"Yeah, Nilo was once dragged out of the Library by Xu Mo, which was quite a humiliation. Later, when Nilo went to settle scores with Xu Mo, he was beaten up, leading to subsequent events. I'm afraid the person Nilo hates the most is Xu Mo. I wonder if Xu Mo will be in trouble."
Although the male students of Lucas University cursed Xu Mo as a scumbag, they were still very friendly to him. This librarian really made the men look good.
"Just watch, now the major media are also digging deep. They also want to know what Nilo plans to do, how many people he has brought. They should uncover some news."
Walking in the campus, the students were all discussing this matter.
Not only within Lucas University but also outside the school, countless people in the capital of Lucas Star were discussing it.
What does Nilo want to do?
Soon, the media exposed that Nilo had brought a very strong team from Baloma Kingdom, including the most elite Holy Temple Knights.
The Holy Temple Knights of Baloma Kingdom, equivalent to the Royal Knights of Lucas Star, were the most elite troops of Baloma Kingdom.
Later, the people of Baloma Kingdom announced that they would visit Lucas University in two days, which is the day before Elizabeth's birthday.
This timing, it was uncertain whether it was deliberate by Nilo.
The news reached Lucas University, and people were restless, without a doubt, Nilo was here for vengeance.
In the Library, people were also discussing this matter.
"Xu Mo, do you want to take a couple of days off?" a female student approached Xu Mo and asked.
"Yes, the head of the library should approve the leave," someone nearby nodded in agreement.
A lot of people knew that Xu Mo had seriously offended Nilo.
If Nilo came for revenge, perhaps he wouldn't dare to touch Elizabeth since she was the princess of Lucas Star, but Xu Mo was just a librarian. If Nilo really wanted to target Xu Mo, Xu Mo might be in danger.
If Nilo truly went insane, the school might not necessarily protect Xu Mo.
"I'll think about it," Xu Mo responded.
"Yes, you definitely should take leave," the female student said, showing concern.
Zero sat silently watching from across.
"The students of Lucas University are really kind," Xu Mo said as he looked at Zero.
"What they said isn't wrong," Nan Xiangyi said to Xu Mo, "Do you know about the Holy Temple Knights?"
"I know," Xu Mo nodded. He had also read about the history of Baloma Kingdom, which heavily featured the Holy Temple Knights.
The Holy Temple is the palace of the royal family of Baloma Kingdom.
The Holy Temple Knights, meaning the royal family's exclusive knight order.
The leadership of the Holy Temple Knights was directly governed by the royal family and nobility.
As for the members of the Holy Temple Knights, they were the most elite slaves. They emerged from mountains of corpses and seas of blood, victorious in numerous duels, killing many of their own kind. Ultimately, they shed the chains of slavery to become members of the Holy Temple Knights.
Every member of the Holy Temple Knights was stained with blood, brainwashed in slaughters to compete for ranks—from slaves to the knight order with the highest honorary title, considered a path of glory, a leap from the fish to the dragon.
The loyalty of the Holy Temple Knights was extremely high, willingly dying for their superiors. Xu Mo was also curious to learn this method of brainwashing, how it was psychologically manipulated considering his civilization-minded thinking, which made it hard to comprehend. Perhaps human thinking was really controlled by the environment, each person utterly convinced of their own perception.
"So, what do you plan to do?" Nan Xiangyi asked, knowing that Xu Mo was aware of the Holy Temple Knights, he should have guessed that Nilo's bringing them along meant no good.
