Inside Uther's study.
Beta said to the mayor, "It's not difficult to revoke your status as a Round Table Knight. But the process may be a little difficult, and after your status as a Round Table Knight is revoked, Lady Sophia's status as a second-class Knight will also disappear. The process will be quite painful. Although it won't be to the extent of making a fool out of you, it won't be too pleasant. "
Uther smiled and said, "It doesn't matter. After all, we are both professionals and have experienced a lot. A little pain is just a small matter to us. "
In his heart, Uther was actually quite surprised. He knew that the Knights of the Round Table had the ability to control others. If he were in Beta's shoes, he would never cancel his status as a Knight of the Round Table. That was because a city lord who owned two cities was his puppet. No matter how he looked at it, it was a very profitable thing. As long as he controlled it well, he could reap great benefits. He could even carry out some dirty political operations.
In his opinion, Beta was still too naive. Although he had sent his wife out as a hostage, Sophia was not an ordinary woman. He knew very well that Sophia had the ability to charm people. If Beta had been in contact with his wife for a long time, his heart might have been captivated by his wife, and he would have turned from guest to host.
He thought he had succeeded, but he did not expect that Beta was actually not very willing to give him a precious Knight quota.
At that time, Beta was not strong enough, so he had to use this method to control Uther. Now, not only was he a master, but he also had powerful assistants like Kail, Shirley, and Katie by his side.
In addition, the new temple was about to be built, and the power of Woking's Church would be further enhanced. Now, he was completely not afraid of Uther's background and power.
As for Sophia. Beta had a strange feeling for this woman that was not love. After all, the two of them had interacted several times in the Nightmare Realm, and the intercourse of souls was easier to get close to than physical intercourse. Therefore, he felt that it was not a bad thing to give a Knight quota to the mayor's wife.
When Uther saw that Beta had agreed, he immediately rang the bell and asked the housekeeper to call the City Lord's wife over. He was worried that it would take some time. When Beta came to his senses, he would no longer agree to this.
Soon, the City Lord's wife and Shirley came in together.
Shirley had a smile on her face, as if her wish had come true, while the expression of the City Lord's wife was very subtle, as if it had not been easy, but there was a hint of eagerness in her eyes!
Beta felt a little strange, but he could feel that the two women seemed to have reached an agreement.
City Lord Uther also noticed the slight abnormality in his wife, but he misunderstood. He thought that his wife was happy that he could get rid of his status as a Knight of the Round Table. At the same time, he was a little worried about becoming a Knight of the Round Table.
Thinking of this, he gently held his wife's hand to give her some courage. After all, the two of them had discussed this before.
Sophia smiled at her husband. Her smile was like a flower, but there was a trace of guilt hidden in it. Uther, who was careless, did not notice it.
"You two better get ready. I'm going to revoke your Knight qualifications." Beta looked at the two of them. He said, "I'll have Shirley set up a soundproof barrier in a while. Just let me know. "
Uther held his wife's hand and smiled confidently. "Come on. We're ready. "
Shirley immediately set up a soundproof barrier.
Beta opened the Round Table Knight Guild management menu in his system and found Uther and Sophia's names and information. Then, he looked at the couple. Finally, his consciousness swiped lightly on the interface.
Then, the two of them suddenly knelt on the ground, clutching their chests. Panting heavily, the intense pain made their whole bodies tremble. But none of them made a sound. Even Sophia, a woman, was clenching her teeth tightly.
Specks of pale golden light floated out of their bodies and disappeared into the air. These were the abilities given to them by the Round Table Knight System. They were turned back into magical elements and returned to the Void.
About three minutes later, the pain subsided, and their bodies no longer emitted golden spots of light.
Uther stood up and looked at his hands. Logically, he should be happy that he was free from Beta's control. However, at that moment, he felt a wave of emptiness. The reason for that was because his strength had dropped by a large amount.
The Round Table Knight System had given him a + 1 to all basic attribute growth. This didn't have much of an advantage in the early stages, but as he leveled up, it would become more and more obvious. Both Uther and Sophia's levels were not low. One was Lvl 8, and the other was Lvl 7. The + 1 bonus to all their abilities was already quite a big deal. It was hard to guarantee that they would not feel empty when they suddenly lost it.
Moreover, the Round Table Knight System had given the city master three additional job skills. Now that these three extra skills had disappeared, the reduction in power was very obvious.
"Congratulations on regaining your freedom." Beta smiled at Uther. He seemed happy.
Uther also smiled in agreement, but his heart was filled with complicated feelings. He wasn't sure if he had made the right decision.
Indeed, logically speaking, it was worth it no matter what price one had to pay in exchange for freedom. But in this world where the strong preyed on the weak, what was the point of freedom if one didn't have enough power?
Sophia, on the other hand, did not think too much. After her strength dropped, she immediately found a mirror and looked at herself. She found that she was not as beautiful as she was a few minutes ago, and her face immediately darkened. She then took a deep breath and said, "Your Excellency Betta, please confer me the title of Knight of the Round Table now."
Women were always simple. As long as you could understand what they were thinking.
For women, appearance was their life. After losing the + 1 to all abilities, Sophia, who was level eight, lost 1.8 points of her current Charisma.
For humans, 0.5 points of Charisma would make a girl look prettier, and 1.8 points of Charisma was the most important factor in determining whether a girl was beautiful or not.
Sophia was still beautiful, but she wasn't like before. She lost some "flavor," which caused her Charisma to lose a little. This was the effect of 1.8 points of Charisma.
Therefore, Sophia immediately wanted to become a Round Table Knight again.
Women could be poor, but they couldn't be beautiful! This was a saying that women all over the world believed to be true.
However, Beta waved his hand and said, "You've just been stripped of your status as a Secondary Knight. It's not suitable for you to become a new Knight. You need some time to recover your body. Otherwise, it'll cause great harm."
Hearing that she still needed some time to become a new Round Table Knight, Sophia was a little nervous. "How long will this take?"
"At least seven days," Beta answered.
"Seven days!" Sophia heaved a sigh of relief. She could endure this. If it took any longer, she felt that she would go crazy.
A beautiful woman would never want to become ugly.
At this time, Uther finally pulled himself together from his emotional state. He said to Beta, "Thank you, Your Excellency. You'll always be a friend of the Longman family. It's late now. Please go and rest. I've prepared a room for you, with hot water and a big bathtub. "
Shirley nodded and said, "Yes, I'll sleep with Master."
Hearing this, Sophia immediately lowered her head.
Seeing this, Beta knew that there was something fishy going on. As a divine creature created by the goddess, Shirley might have already known about the ambiguous relationship between him and the mayor's wife. Now that she had spoken, the mayor's wife would lose her composure. It would be strange if there was nothing fishy going on.
Beta didn't want to be tricked by Shirley. He shook his head and said, "No, thanks. I still have some things to take care of. Let's say goodbye for now. We'll meet again in the future. "
Shirley held Beta's hand and said coquettishly, "Master, I don't want to go back. I want to stay here and chat with Lady Sophia."
What a joke! She had finally convinced the mayor's wife. If she let Beta go now, her plan would be ruined.
However, Beta insisted. He said, "Then you stay and chat with Lady Sophia. I'll go back now."
After that, Beta activated the teleportation spell and was about to be teleported away.
"Wait for me, Master!"
Shirley was very angry. Her little plan had completely failed. Stamping her feet angrily, Shirley jumped into the magic circle and was teleported back to the hotel in Bronze Drum City with Beta.
Looking at the magic circle disappearing, Uther was greatly relieved. He asked, "What did Lady Shirley talk to you about? You seem to be very strange."
He had seen his wife's strange behavior. After all, they had been married for almost twenty years. Sophia's little habits and tricks couldn't be hidden from him.
The mayor's wife said shyly, "Lady Shirley is still a virgin, but she wants to serve her master and make him happy. So, she wanted to ask me some questions about that."
"Oh!" Uther, the mayor, was enlightened and believed it. He was confident that he could tell if his wife was lying.
However, in fact, succubi were one of the best creatures at lying, especially now that Sophia had awakened her Succubus Bloodline. Her half-truth and half-lie were said casually and naturally. Not only did she fool her husband, but she also almost fooled herself.
Half an hour later, Sophia was alone in the bathroom. She looked at herself in the mirror and found that not only was her appearance not as good as yesterday, but even her skin was not as good as it was yesterday.
"I must become a Knight of the Round Table again." Sophia looked at her nosebleed inducing body and muttered to herself.
