Rita led Theresa and her group to the edge of a woods. Looking at the dense jungle ahead, Theresa wondered if Rita had taken the wrong path.

"Rita, are we going the wrong way? There's a forest ahead."

"No, you are not in the wrong place, Lady Theresa. Just keep going forward and you will reach where the Bishop is.

Rita has other tasks, so she will not accompany you on the rest of the journey."

Rita walked aside and made way. Theresa looked deep into the woods. At first glance, there were only trees, but no trees at all. Was Otto really in there?

"Theresa, let's go in."

Xuanyu bent down and patted Theresa's shoulder. Theresa turned around and said with a puzzled look on her face: "Xuanyu, are you sure we want to go in? There doesn't look like anyone here."

"I'm sure. And I also know there must be a yard inside. Otto and Xiaochen are probably sitting inside."

Xuan Yu said this with confidence. She knew everything about Luo Chen in Kolosten and naturally knew that Luo Chen's yard was built in the woods.

"Why are you so sure? Did Xiaochen tell you anything?"

"No, but Theresa, think about it, there is no reason for Xiaochen and the others to lie to us about this matter."

"makes sense."

Theresa nodded. Maybe she was worrying too much. Luo Chen and Otto always looked mysterious, which made Theresa a little neurotic.

The three of them walked into the woods and after about ten minutes, a small courtyard came into sight.

"There's actually a yard here! Who on earth would want to live in a place like this?"

Ji Zi looked at the gate of the yard, wondering why a wooden door had to be installed with an electronic lock. How did these two completely unrelated things get put together?

The few of them approached the courtyard, and when they were only a few steps away from the main entrance, the old wooden door slowly opened. Luo Chen leaned on the door railing and looked at the three of them.

"Mom, you're finally here."

Luo Chen walked out of the yard to greet the three people. Xuan Yu came up and flicked him hard on the forehead.

"Hey, Mom, what are you doing?"

Luo Chen let out a strange cry. Xuan Yu knew that with her limited strength, it was impossible for her to hurt him.

"I'm this old, and you still like to flick my head."

"No matter how old you are, you are still my son. Besides, you often play Meng'er like this."

Xuanyu smiled, pulled Theresa into the yard, and left Luo Chen aside.

"Little guy, it's been such a long time since we last met, why do I feel like you've become more handsome again?"

Ji Zi came closer, touched Luo Chen's arm gently, and said something that made Luo Chen feel embarrassed.

"Really? Sister Jizi, what you said makes me shy."

Luo Chen's performance was very exaggerated, which made Ji Zi laugh out loud, and she slapped him lightly on the back.

"Alright, when have you ever been shy? Stop pretending in front of me. Don't you have something to tell us? Come in now."

"Okay, I'll listen to Sister Jizi."

When they entered the yard, Xuanyu and Theresa were already sitting on chairs. Xuanyu lay on Luo Chen's recliner without any scruples. When she saw Luo Chen coming in, she sighed.

"Ah, Xiaochen, you are living a really comfortable life these days!"

"Is it comfortable? This place didn't have electricity or internet at the beginning."

The days five hundred years ago were a mixed bag for Luo Chen. Although he missed them very much, he really didn't want to experience them again.

"Xiao Chen, where is grandpa? Isn't he looking for us?"

Theresa sat on a chair with her feet dangling in the air. She had looked around but couldn't find any trace of Otto. Could it be that he was not here?

"Otto is not here, so I will do what he wants to say."

"Grandpa is not here. What is he doing?"

Theresa had a bad feeling. Was Otto trying to catch Kiana and the others in one fell swoop? With Cecilia and Kiyono Hatsuyuki around, nothing should go wrong.

"What... Of course, I want to say goodbye to my past self once and for all."

Luo Chen smiled, thinking that one had to act completely, otherwise how could Theresa and the others believe him?

"That's all I have to say about Otto's whereabouts. I think you must be very interested in this thing."

Luo Chen's hand brushed across the table, and a core floated above the table. It was the disappeared core of the Ruler of Rulers.

"This Ruler's core is of no use to us, so I'm giving it to you. Take it and study it."

"Just give it to us so easily, without any request?"

"I just said that this core is of no value to us, so we might as well give it to you. Otto said that this is one of his gifts to Aunt Theresa for your appointment as bishop."

Luo Chen took out an iron box, put the core in it, and handed the box to Theresa.

"Aunt Theresa, you are going to be the bishop of destiny. How do you feel now?"

"Are you really not just kidding me?"

Theresa put away the box and covered her head. Even now, she still believed that Otto's offer of the bishop's seat to her was false.

"Of course not. Otto has wanted to retire for a long time, but he has always been hesitant to leave his fate to you."

"Then why is grandpa relieved now?"

"The secret cannot be leaked."

Luo Chen closed one eye and pretended to be mysterious. As for why Otto suddenly felt relieved, Theresa would soon know.

"Theresa, don't listen to his nonsense. Just go ask Otto directly."

Xuanyu spoke up. If this continued, Theresa would be led by Luo Chen again. In order to prevent her friend from being deceived, Xuanyu interrupted Luo Chen's spell.

"So Xiaochen, where did Otto go?"

"I just said that he has broken off with his past self."

Luo Chen smiled, thinking that Otto must have arrived and might have been fighting with Kiana and the others.

……

537 Outside the church, Otto stood in front of the statue blankly, looking up at it, and the scenes of Kallen's death and Luo Chen's disappearance automatically emerged in his mind.

Even though he knew from Luo Chen that all this was bound to happen, every time he thought about it, he still felt resentful towards himself. He wished he was as powerful as his teacher.

The others stood behind him, silently looking at Otto who was emoting alone. Now everything was uncertain, and there was no news from Theresa, so Otto was their only chance of success.

"Otto, do you think we will be discovered if we watch from here?"

On the rooftop of the church, Karen was looking down through a telescope, her arms on Otto's shoulders and her body leaning on Otto's back, obviously using him as a cushion.

"Don't worry, their attention is all on me, they won't notice the above."

"Is that so... Then when are you going to go down and be the bad guy?"

"I'll go there soon."

Otto was playing with the mimic skyfire in his hand. Now that the protagonists had arrived, it was time for him, the villain, to appear.
