Gu Xi lifted his head and gave the man a look; he understood in his heart that this man’s strength was definitely above level 20.

But the timing in front of him was all wrong.

Of course Gu Xi could tell what this man was trying to do.

Spore Cultist Charlie, who hadn’t died yet, had been provoked inside the dungeon by Anna and was thinking about initiating Self-Sacrifice.

That was why Gu Xi had used Deep Freeze to lock him in ice.

At the same time, Gu Xi also had another thought.

Maybe the probability of Spore Cultist Charlie triggering Self-Sacrifice was wrong; it shouldn’t be a 20% chance, but rather that as soon as Anna in the dungeon made a move, he’d blow.

Last time he’d run into Anna, and the result was Gu Xi being forced to end the dungeon early.

This time, he’d clearly already beaten the guy down, they were already in the scripted cutscene phase, and then Anna rushed over like this and triggered Spore Cultist Charlie’s ultimate; Gu Xi would never believe there wasn’t a direct connection here.

But the situation in front of him was plainly off.

"Sir Knight, it’s not that I don’t want to, but my Deep Freeze can only last for about a minute. Once the time’s up, he’ll be just the same as before; it’ll still be useless then.

Unless I stick with him and top it up before the Deep Freeze ends.

But with my current level in Deep Freeze, I can use it at most five times before he develops immunity.

So, Sir Knight, in about five minutes, where exactly can you take him?"

Gu Xi spoke calmly.

If not for this group of people in front of him, even if Spore Cultist Charlie prepared to Self-Sacrifice it would be pointless.

Five minutes was enough for Gu Xi to finish looting the corpses, recall all his subordinates, and happily exit the dungeon.

And then he runs into something like this; it really left him speechless.

Gu Xi’s gaze toward that Anna turned visibly worse.

Right then, the man, however, smiled and said,

"That’s exactly why I stepped in. I can send this guy to some other place. If he wants to explode, then let him explode somewhere else."

Hearing this, Gu Xi only hesitated for a moment. "Sure. Do you need me to add another Deep Freeze?"

"No need, I’m very fast when I act."

Seeing Gu Xi relinquish control over Spore Cultist Charlie, the man also smiled.

Then he lifted a finger, and Spore Cultist Charlie, frozen inside the block of ice, vanished right in front of everyone.

After doing this, the man raised his hand and tossed a pouch-like item in front of Gu Xi.

"This is your reward for killing the enemy. You take it first."

Gu Xi caught the pouch and was just about to take a glance when a surge of extreme unease rose in his heart.

Gu Xi thought to himself, no way, even NPCs inside the dungeon play this game?

Before he could react, the two City Gates he had placed nearby began to shake at the same time.

The frequency of that vibration was like a major earthquake.

This was something Gu Xi had never encountered before.

Could something have happened in Yalidov?

Feeling a bit uneasy, Gu Xi quickly raised his left hand and contacted Luna through a special Mirror Image.

"Luna, what happened?"

At this moment, Luna’s image in the mirror also looked slightly flustered.

Seeing Gu Xi, Luna forcibly suppressed the unease in her eyes and said firmly,

"My lord, you’re fine; it’s just that some unknown person sent an explosive to the Westminster Cathedral Mirror Image, causing a huge explosion, and the blast shockwave reached our side.

But we’re quite far away; even if we’re affected, the impact isn’t great. We can hold out over here."

After hearing this, Gu Xi turned his head and glared at the man not far away.

Fine, you did send Spore Cultist Charlie away, and that guy did explode somewhere else.

The dungeon is fine now, but my Yalidu City almost got shaken to pieces.

If I listen to you again when something like this happens next time, I’m a dog.

Gu Xi cursed nonstop in his heart.

Of course he could see exactly what had happened here.

It was clearly the dungeon that got blown up, yet the one who ended up suffering was Yalidu City.

This was something he couldn’t swallow.

But thinking was one thing; Gu Xi did not show any of it.

He only swiftly ordered his subordinates to retreat back to Yalidu City, making no other moves.

Seeing that everything before them was already over, the man also nodded to Anna.

That mess just now had been entirely stirred up by Anna, and the man’s attitude toward her had shifted somewhat.

But as Britain’s Eldest Princess, no matter how big a mess Anna caused, the man could never truly blame her.

At most, he’d just ignore her.

With that thought, the man turned and quickly left the underground.

In the man’s mind, as long as he didn’t see it, then this matter had nothing to do with him.

Once the man left, Gu Xi finally turned his head to look at Anna.

"Your Highness, the matter at Westminster Cathedral has been resolved. I’m about to leave as well."

Anna could sense that Gu Xi’s attitude had changed, but she didn’t know where that change came from.

Hearing Gu Xi say this, Anna quickly regained the bearing befitting Britain’s Eldest Princess.

"Baron Gu, on behalf of Britain, I thank you for your contribution. This is the certificate I’ve issued for you. With this certificate, you can go to the Upper House to file a report and obtain a record of merit.

Britain will not forget those who have rendered service. The requirement to be promoted from Court Baron to Official Baron is to have a city and territory of your own, and to possess three formal merits.

This is your opportunity to become an Official Baron."

Anna spoke openly and generously. "In addition, these here are Knight Training Orders. You can assign thirty Ordinary Soldiers to come to Victoria City and go to the Knight Arena; there will be people specifically to train them into Knights.

Right, they must be alive. After all, you know the situation with Death Knights. The dead can’t be trained into Knights.

This is a Griffin deployment order. You can go to the Griffin Tower in Victoria City and transfer sixty ordinary Griffins as your subordinates.

This is a Church Prayer Coupon. With it, you can go to any major cathedral in Victoria City and request that they hold a full-scale mass.

And this..."

As Anna spoke, she took out all sorts of rewards.

The Leaders of the various factions standing in the back had their eyes go wide.

They all really wanted these rewards.

They just hadn’t expected that after Gu Xi put everything away, he would turn around and hand them back into Anna’s hands.

"Your Highness, I’d like to exchange these for one thing."

"What thing?"

Anna actually understood that she’d been in the wrong just now, which was why she had taken out rewards several times the usual standard to try and smooth things over.

But Gu Xi’s reaction in front of her made her feel uneasy.

"Your corpse."
