“Why are you guys looking at me like that?”
Although Audrey’s voice was no different from usual, the aura around her sent a chill down the three sisters’ spines.
“No! It’s nothing!” Mulan immediately raised her hand up. “I solemnly swear, I am not suspecting you of anything, sister Audrey.”
“Neither am I.”
“Sister Audrey, I’m just suspecting Kael’s motives. It has nothing to do with you.”
The three sisters spoke carefully, afraid that they would upset Audrey. The consequences were quite dire if she were to go berserk.
“Ahh, so that’s how it is.”
As Audrey’s said that, the atmosphere in the room immediately relaxed. At this moment, the three sisters were still looking at her. She had completely returned to her usual appearance.
Thinking back to Audrey’s terrifying aura, the three sisters made a mental agreement. From now on, they could not mention this matter in front of Audrey. Otherwise, they would have to bear the consequences.
Mulan took a deep breath and sat back down in front of her computer. She swore in her heart that she would never provoke Audrey again. That was too terrifying.
Audrey was not only the oldest one out of the three sisters in terms of their actual age, she was also the strongest. In fact, she was the one who initiated the existence of this room.
Fubuki looked at Kael and started her interrogation.
“Kael, you didn’t let Robert go because of personal reasons, right? Tell me. I’m very curious. What did dear Robert say to you that could make you change your mind?”
Fubuki knew Kael’s personality very well. As long as it involved the matters of the church, she would become serious. She would no longer be that battle junkie they all knew she was. For example, there’s the issue with the Divine Sword in the Stone and its master not staying within the church. If this had happened in the past, Kael would have never allowed such a thing to happen.
Mulan looked over curiously. She was also very interested in this matter.
Audrey smiled and said, “Kaell, I also want to know what kind of relationship you have with Robert.”
Kael immediately broke out in cold sweat. She hurriedly waved her hand and explained, “Sister Audrey, you’ve misunderstood. I don’t have any secret relationship with Robert. Don’t think too much about it. I once swore that only a man above the demigod level is worthy of my company.”
“Then why did you let Robert off?” The curiosity in Fubuki’s eyes grew even more.
That gaze seemed to be able to devour a person.
“That’s right, Kael. You’re usually very concerned about the matters of the church. You wouldn’t let Robert just take the holy relic of the church and roam freely outside, right?” Mulan could not even think of a possible reason why Kael would do that.
However, she was still very angry when she talked about this matter.
“Kael, you even used your supernatural power to stop me from eavesdropping on your conversation. What shameful secret are you hiding from us?”
Kael glanced at Mulan. This girl was way too annoying to deal with. She actually admitted that she was eavesdropping on the conversation with Robert. Before Kael could even settle the score with her, she had already started to question Kael back.
“Actually, it’s not that big of a deal. I had no choice but to believe Robert’s words.
“He said that he saw the sword spirit of the Divine Sword in the Stone. The sword spirit of the Divine Sword in the Stone. He says that she wants to help him gain experience and increase his strength.”
Kael did not have anything to hide, so she just said what she knew. She was planning to tell them anyway.
“The sword spirit of the Divine Sword in the Stone really exists?” Mulan was surprised.
“According to the church’s records, the sword spirit of the Divine Sword in the Stone really exists. It appeared in the world before the church was founded. However, for some unknown reason, the sword spirit of the legendary sword refused to show herself. Later on, the masters, including several generations of popes, were all unable to summon the sword spirit no matter what method they used.”
Fubuki explained calmly, but even then, the shock of her face could not be hidden.
Fubuki paused and said, “If the sword spirit of the Divine Sword in the Stone really appeared, then I completely understand now why Kael agreed to let Robert go. If it were me, I would also do the same.”
Kael nodded at Fubuki as she looked at Fubuki in admiration.
As expected of the most intelligent one out of the four sisters.
“The sword spirit of the Divine Sword in the Stone? I’ve heard about it before. That sword spirit had very high requirements for its master. The reason why she didn’t appear until now is very likely because its previous masters had only barely passed the bloodline awakening. They hadn’t reached the stage where they could truly awaken the Divine Sword in the Stone. The sword spirit of the Divine Sword in the Stone has finally appeared only after Robert became its master. I think this must have something to do with Robert’s awakened Bloodline.”
Kael, Mulan, and Fubuki nodded in unison after listening to Audrey’s analysis.
However, at the same time, the four sisters were still filled with doubt.
In the end, everything had returned to the starting point. What kind of bloodline had Robert awakened?
“The bloodline that Robert had awakened is definitely not ordinary. Now, I really want to learn more about it.”
“I’ve said it before. Robert is not as simple as he looks. The fact that he can become the master of the Divine Sword in the Stone is a testament to this point. Furthermore, the fact that he made the sword spirit of the Divine Sword in the Stone appear further proves that Robert is definitely not an ordinary person.”
“Didn’t he just say that the sword spirit of the Divine Sword in the Stone wanted to help Robert gain experience? Now, I’m really looking forward to seeing how much Robert can grow.”
The four sisters were also filled with anticipation. After all, the sword spirit of the Divine Sword in the Stone was an enigma. They were very curious about what the so-called training of the Divine Sword in the Stone was like?
However, they did not know the truth.
It was undoubtedly true that the sword spirit of the Divine Sword in the Stone existed, but the whole training excuse was completely fabricated. All of this was made up by Robert to cover up the existence of the system.
“No wonder that brat was so arrogant. He’s completely different from before. So that’s how it is. How infuriating!” Mulan was quite peeved over Robert’s sudden change.
“Hahaha, isn’t this very interesting? Given the opportunity to increase their strength and no longer be a good-for-nothing, anyone would get a little more arrogant, right?” Audrey covered her mouth and chuckled as she said. Anyone could that she was very happy to see Robert succeed.
Kael sat on the sofa and placed one of her slender legs on the other. She said in a leisurely manner, “Do you guys get it now? Since the sword spirit of the Divine Sword in the Stone wants to train Robert, this will bring no harm to the church. If I go over now to interfere with his progress, that might make him unhappy and worsen his ties with the church! That’s the one thing I don’t want to happen.”
Fubuki nodded lightly.
“What you said makes sense. If not for the sword spirit of the Divine Sword in the Stone, you would have tried every means possible to increase Robert’s strength. The church would never allow the next pope to be a bronze-leveled loser.”
At this moment, Audrey took out her phone.
“I need to give Robert a call.”
