Chapter 286: A Little Dirty

[What? What does this mean, is this Dreamland Karoso?]

[Didn’t this disappear along with the dream?]

[Why is it appearing here?]

[Is there going to be another fun-loving god intervening again?]

[By the way, what is the current aim of the gods? No one has mentioned it.]

[The story hasn’t really touched on the gods much.]

[Does Master Karoso remember him?]

[Master Karoso’s memory of that has been erased, but we have told him.]

"This is the first time I meet you, but I know you," said Karoso.

"Oh? It seems you are stronger than I imagined." Dreamland Karoso looked up and down at Karoso, "You’ve done well during this time, you’ve become stronger, and it isn’t just because of using up your potential."

"Why are you here? The Gate of Hell should have created puppets." Karoso had a bad feeling.

It seems that there will be changes again this time.

After the netizen talked to him about this plot, Karoso and the storyline team discussed a plan, including how to deal with the church, how to bring various forces into the plan, to protect Neymar, and even to help Neymar ascend to a throne.

However, Dreamland Karoso’s appearance suggests that the unknown existence that pulled them into a dream has returned.

"I was foretold by the Great Prophecy…" Dreamland Karoso sighed, "My world continues, but I can feel that those memories are false, and my powers are also false."

"What have you experienced?" Karoso asked.

"In my world, a world war has begun." Dreamland Karoso sat down and pointed in front of him.

Seeing this, Karoso also sat down with him.

"The news of Ailina’s death could not be hidden. The Kingdom of Persia declared war on Canglang Province. My elder brother took charge inside while I led outside. For two whole years, when I became an eighth-tier warrior, we launched two military campaigns and sent part of our troops to fight the Presea Empire. We helped a girl named Teresa claim the throne, and in return, she sent her troops to help me."

"Another year passed, and I conquered the capital of the kingdom. Although the remaining areas still resisted, it was only a matter of time before we took them down."

"Due to the coup in Presea, the capital of Persia was captured, and countries could no longer hold back. We became the spark that ignited the world war."

"However, this is just a dream; it will never happen to you."

Upon hearing this, Karoso showed a slight smile.

It seems that without the deliberate arrangement of game plots, he and Teresa could still be friends.

"Just then, a mysterious being appeared before me." Dreamland Karoso said seriously, "It told me that my life should come to an end… I truly am a person in a dream."

"If I continue, I will be on the brink of reaching ninth-tier, but its dream cannot support a ninth-tier version of me."

"Hmm…" Karoso became serious.

What we talked about before was just small talk; this is what really matters.

"Did the unknown being bring you to me for a reason?" Karoso said seriously.

"Even if that mysterious being appears before you, you won’t remember its words. So, it wants me to try using the power of The Gate of Hell for an attempt. It just wants to remind you that the waters of Laria are very deep, and if you go to that tavern, there might be some trouble." Dreamland Karoso continued, "The Church of Dawn Goddess has done many dirty things in Laria. If you want to help Neymar, dig as deep as you can."

"Never underestimate the Church of Dawn Goddess; even in front of countless people, they can label Neymar as an evil god."

"I know," Karoso nodded. "I have already invited Master Norma, a ninth-level mage from the Nature Mage Association."

"That’s still not enough," Dreamland Karoso shook his head. "Do you know that Laria is a natural ritual magic circle? There is a ritual magic constantly taking place underground in Laria…"

"It can’t be related to the Lord of Eternity again, can it?" Karoso’s expression looked strange.

Speaking of which, even though the Church of the Lord of Eternity is a cult, even one of the worst, Karoso unexpectedly found that the Lord of Eternity wasn’t so bad.

It not only hasn’t harmed him but its ability to see through life and death was also given by it. Fighting the God of Wisdom and battling hunger were all done with the power of the Lord of Eternity.

"It has nothing to do with the Lord of Eternity." Dreamland Karoso shook his head, "It’s the scheme of the Pande Empire. The Pande Empire claims to be the Kingdom of Knights, but in truth… the only one who still has the spirit of knighthood is a girl named Aileen. The others have long become dirty politicians."

"Please explain."

……

"Why are there still people not coming out?"

"How long has it been? I’m so worried!"

"Damn it, I bought a ticket to see the knights come out, not to watch The Gate of Hell shining."

"Well…" The host also had an awkward look, "Maybe our contestants are facing a little problem…"

Once The Gate of Hell starts running, it will not stop until everyone comes out, and no one else can go in.

If someone who goes in gets severely injured, they will be automatically bounced back out.

If you win, you will be automatically released.

Stalemate?

Even when out of magic, it will still come out.

What happened to the contestant inside? Why have they been there for so long?

Others have only been in for ten minutes, but he has been in for almost two hours.

When Aileen saw it wasn’t Karoso, she couldn’t help but worry.

Karoso is just a Card Maker. He won’t be in trouble, right?

Although this battle is a bit difficult for Aileen, it won’t stop her.

After all, she is a famous teacher and has dedicated herself to being a true knight since she was little. She is definitely strong in combat.

Just now, she watched as each knight came out heavily injured, then being mocked by the host and booed by the audience; her heart felt as if it were being pricked by a needle.

In her eyes, knights should not be like this.

They are the bravest beings on the battlefield, protectors of the weak, and light in the darkness.

Why should such people be laughed at?

Even if they can’t defeat Mirror Image, they gave their all in the fight!

They are knights, not clowns performing tricks; they came here to fight for honor, not to entertain the audience—what gives anyone the right to do this?

She remembered what Karoso had told her yesterday and wanted to talk to him.

Unfortunately, Karoso still had not come out.

"Hmm…" The host was also a professional; after a staff member handed him a note, he regained his energy and said, "Wow, no wonder this contestant hasn’t come out yet! Can anyone guess what his profession is?"

"A knight!"

"What else is there in a Knight Tournament besides knights?"

"His job is… Card Maker!" the host exclaimed, "Oh my, our rule is that knights can compete with a knight deck. He, a Card Maker, holds the identity of a knight and can also use a knight deck, so he can compete! This is an unexpected path; he is the only Card Maker in the history of the Knight Tournament!"

"Congratulations everyone, you’ve witnessed history!"

The crowd erupted with excitement.

A Card Maker, competing in a martial arts tournament?

What’s the difference between that and sending a scientist onto the battlefield in a wheelchair?

"What? That’s so harsh?"

"A Card Maker can also compete? How did I not think of that!"

"I took another look at the registration rules; there’s a loophole. The Card Maker can really participate."

"Which Card Maker is feeling so hopeless?"

"What hopelessness? This Card Maker is much stronger than those useless knights, right? How many knights are poorly trained and just show up without effort? It’s embarrassing; they are not as good as the Card Maker."

"Interestingly, after all this time, he still hasn’t been eliminated. It seems he is very persistent! The host announced loudly, ‘Mirror Image is very strong; he won’t be weakened because he’s a Card Maker, nor will he be favored because he’s a Card Maker. I can imagine a bruised Card Maker who wants to uphold his knightly spirit, fighting bravely, even if he’s covered in wounds, even if he’s gasping for breath, he still won’t give up!’"

"He is not a knight by profession, but he is a true knight!"

At that moment, the Gate of Hell lit up, and Karoso slowly walked out from inside.

Bruised and battered? Not at all.

The current Karoso’s clothes were a bit dirty…

Looking at Karoso’s energetic appearance, the host’s excited expression froze on his face.

How can you, a Card Maker, be stronger than a fighter!
