Judgment Knight Uniform Purple quality, Level 20 set.
Set Effect One: Public trust increased by 70%, defense increased by 50%, blocks Appraisal magic of A-rank and below.
Set Effect Two: Grants temporary skill [Intimidation], which can increase pressure during conversations to achieve more desired outcomes.
A set of equipment with little substantial stat improvement, but very useful.
There was just one surprising thing!
That was…
The style this uniform presented seemed completely different on each person!
Lucoco turned to look in the mirror, raising an eyebrow.
The pure white gown was soft and flowing, the hem adorned with silver rune patterns.
A Judgment Knight badge hung at her neck, the cape wide but not cumbersome, with delicate silver lace embroidered at the cuffs.
The gown reached her ankles, cinched at the waist with a silver chain that outlined her slender waist without losing its dignity.
She wore soft white leather boots on her feet, engraved with cleansing runes that shimmered faintly with each step.
A specially styled court priestess robe, pure and elegant.
‘And the last piece of equipment… Hmm? Another eyepatch?’
So, Lucoco gently put on the final headgear…
This!
A feeling of elegant restraint, holy and mysterious, spontaneously arose.
If the robe were swapped for a dark color, and she stood before the ruins of some abandoned church…
Maybe an undead would come to talk to you!
To offer you a masterless soul…
Are’s uniform…
The form-fitting top was mainly leather, soft fabric clinging to her graceful curves, a belt cinching her waist, emphasizing her slender, graspable waist.
The short skirt swayed slightly above the knees, revealing a stretch of pale, slender legs.
The whole outfit exuded a mature and sexy charm, making it hard to look away.
She spun around, the skirt fluttering, her cheeks slightly flushed, a hint of shyness yet proud smile in her eyes.
“Morning Light, this outfit… why does it feel so… um, figure-hugging on me?”
Lucoco gave a thumbs-up, her eyes filled with undisguised admiration.
“Sister, you look really good!”
“Why am I like this?”
Amy’s little face was flushed, her cheeks puffed out as she looked at Lucoco, then at Are, slightly displeased.
The uniform on her focused more on lightness, emphasizing a girl’s vitality and cuteness, transforming into a playful knight’s short outfit, highlighting her true! nature!
The top was a fitted white shirt paired with a leather chest guard, the collar and cuffs adorned with lively bows, the Judgment Knight badge hanging on her chest.
The lower half was a knee-length pleated skirt, the hem trimmed with protective silver thread.
Under the skirt were light knee pads and cute little leather boots.
The whole set carried a childish air but didn’t lose its practical protective function.
The skirt fluttered like petals when she spun, perfectly matching her twin-tails image, giving off a feeling of a spirited girl knight.
After the praise! Let’s just tell the truth, Amy’s outfit looks like a street-style [Child Knight Uniform] made by players.
…
Adrian listened to the commotion inside, his anticipation churning nonstop.
When the door finally opened and the three girls filed out, his gaze involuntarily fixed on them.
Are’s graceful bearing made Adrian pause slightly, but he quickly averted his eyes.
Amy’s liveliness made him smile knowingly, and he couldn’t help but reach out to ruffle his sister’s head, eliciting a coquettish protest from Amy.
Until his gaze fell on Lucoco, who walked out last…
Time seemed to freeze.
Adrian’s cheeks instantly flushed red.
The pure white priestess robe outlined her slender figure, a holy aura tinged with a trace of restrained elegance.
The faintly discernible dark red eyes beneath the eyepatch shimmered like flowing starlight.
And that innocent, pure smile, just like back then, had long surpassed the initial stunning impression.
Gradually, the girl’s figure overlapped with the one he had longed for day and night, the figure in his memories.
“Sister Lynk…”
Adrian’s eyes glazed over, the words slipping out subconsciously.
Then!
He saw the girl’s smile become even sweeter, and that rapidly enlarging pink fist!
“Personality Correction Punch! I hit!!”
Thump!
“Ow~”
Adrian took a solid punch to the bridge of his nose, staggering back in pain, clutching his nose, then was promptly kicked into the room, sprawling awkwardly on the floor.
[System Prompt: Personality Correction failed. Please try again next time.]
‘He really is hopeless, isn’t he~’
Lucoco’s smile deepened.
She closed the door nonchalantly, her voice sweet and clear.
“Your Highness~ Please hurry up~.”
Amy and Are silently took a step back, exchanged a glance, and wordlessly maintained their silence.
They both felt that Lucoco’s current smile was a bit terrifying.
…
When the door opened again, Adrian stood awkwardly in the doorway, his nose bridge red and swollen.
Sure enough, his equipment was also different—a standard knight’s armor robe.
Primarily deep blue in tone, the shoulder and chest armor were inlaid with the Judgment Knight badge.
The robe’s hem was slit for ease of movement, accessories hung at his waist, making his posture appear even more upright.
The cuffs and collar were trimmed with gold thread, lined with soft chainmail, giving off a feeling of a valiant and reliable prince-knight.
“Let’s go~!”
Lucoco just glanced at him, then pulled Are and Amy towards the teleportation chamber, not even bothering with a certain sister-con.
Adrian silently closed the door, following behind the three without a word…
His gaze secretly lingered on Lucoco, carrying a sliver of hope. He felt he understood something.
But in reality, he understood nothing.
Someone just simply wanted to test the effect of [Personality Correction Punch] on him and had wanted to punch him for a long time!
✦✧✦✧
With a wave of teleportation energy, light swallowed the four, and the room returned to silence.
The teleportation array directly shattered after activation, turning into a pile of debris.
The Regent’s bedchambers.
Raymond stood on the balcony, gazing at the distant skyline of the Royal Capital.
Only when a flicker of teleportation light flashed in the distance did he slowly turn and walk into the room, twisting a mechanism beside the bookshelf.
The bookshelf slid open silently, revealing a secret chamber.
Furnished like a reception for honored guests, but on the fur-covered soft chair lay a mechanical puppet identical to him.
Raymond sat down, magic swirling in his eyes, his pupils flashing with complex, deep light.
Immediately after, the mechanical puppet opposite slowly opened its dull wooden eyes.
The mage’s mark in its pupils was exactly the same as the one Lucoco had seen on the Mechanized Falcon’s reactor!
The puppet sat up, staring at Raymond, its voice hoarse and icy.
“Regent, the Black Obsidian has been handed over to your subordinates. In exchange, in a few days, we will create a Mana Tide in Suomu Town to siphon fear nutrients.”
“Mhm, I will dispatch a batch of new recruits there,” Raymond said calmly, expressionless.
“Heh heh heh… A pleasure doing business.”
The puppet’s mouth twisted into an eerie smile.
“Be careful of the Shadow Society,” Raymond reminded blandly.
“That goes without saying.”
The puppet responded, its voice carrying indifference and killing intent.
With that, the mechanism fell silent again…
Raymond stood up, his gaze profound, walking towards the deeper recesses of the secret chamber.
✧✦✧✦
Far from the Royal Capital, the four who had been teleported to a dense forest found the nearest road.
Adrian was checking a map, determining their location.
“Northwest direction. The closest to us is [Ironforge Fortress], and then there’s [Suomu Town].”
“Wow~ Flowers I’ve never seen before! Wow~ this is an herb that can be used to make healing potions! Ah, and this one too…”
It was Amy’s first time leaving the Royal Capital.
She was as excited as a little bunny, hopping around in the woods, her eyes sparkling as she stuffed various plants and flowers into her Storage Bracelet.
“Let’s go to Suomu Town. There aren’t many quests at Ironforge Fortress,” Lucoco suggested with a smile, her gaze following the hopping Amy.
“On foot, it would take at least a week’s journey,” Are said, looking at the map, then into the distance.
“Heh heh heh~~”
Lucoco chuckled proudly, lightly brushing her Storage Bracelet and tossing a large object out from her Player Bag.
“I have this!”
Hum~
A brand new Hovering Steam Car landed in the middle of the road!
“You have this too!”
Adrian’s eyes went wide.
He shoved the map into his bracelet and eagerly rushed forward, circling the hovercar, laughing “ho ho ho” nonstop.
“Wow~ Morning Light, where did you get this from?”
Amy was also drawn over, staring dumbly.
Lucoco looked at Amy in confusion.
“Huh? Aren’t you a prince and princess? Why are you so excited over just one hovercar?”
Adrian excitedly climbed into the driver’s seat.
“Because, you’re not allowed to drive a hovercar until you’re twenty, and… speeding isn’t allowed in the city. We haven’t even had a chance to ride in one. We could only hear about them in picture books and from other people’s stories~”
He looked left and right but couldn’t find the key.
“Morning Light!”
Amy’s eyes sparkled.
She hugged Lucoco’s arm, cooing, “Let’s get going quickly!”
“With this, we can indeed get there very quickly,” Are nodded, elegantly taking the passenger seat.
“The quest isn’t urgent; we have over a year. I’ll drive slowly,” Lucoco said, lifting Amy into the back seat.
The little one glanced at Are in the passenger seat, wanting to say something, but ultimately didn’t.
She just shifted her butt, sitting behind the driver’s seat.
“Morning Light! Can I drive?”
Adrian asked, full of anticipation, turning to look at Lucoco.
“Your Highness, have you ever driven before?”
Lucoco curled her lips, looking at him teasingly.
“I…”
Adrian scratched his head.
“I’ve seen the操作方法 in picture books.”
“Then you can get lost.”
Lucoco was merciless, opening the door and shooing him to the back seat.
Watching Lucoco skillfully start the hovercar with a smile on her face, Adrian was full of regret, sullenly sitting in the back.
Turning his head, he looked at his sister again.
“Amy, wanna swap seats?”
“No swap!”
Amy tilted her little head, ignoring him.
“Sister Are…”
He looked at Are.
“Your Highness, please fasten your seatbelt,” Are reminded gently.
“Wha… AHHHH!!!!”
“YAHHH!!!!”
Lucoco stomped the hovercar’s accelerator to the floor.
It roared out of the forest, kicking up a gust of wind as it transformed into a streak of light speeding away.
This is what you call G-force!
Tree shadows flew past, the wind howled!
Amy’s little face was contorted by the fierce wind, her eyes wide with terror, her small hands gripping the seat handles tightly.
“Morning Light~! Didn’t you… say you’d drive… slowly!?”
Her voice came in bursts.
“Ah! We’re gonna crash! Ah!! Morning Light! Turn! The turn! Ah~!!”
Adrian wasn’t faring much better, frantically helping Amy and himself with their seatbelts, his body swaying wildly as the car swerved.
Are remained calm and composed.
Already accustomed to Lucoco’s driving style, she simply followed Lucoco’s lead, quietly casting a faint Magic Barrier around herself, then enjoyed the thrill of the high-speed dash.
Half an hour later, having had her fun, Lucoco finally slowed down.
The hovercar meandered leisurely along the forest path, hot air blowing up fallen leaves, creating a rustling sound.
“Ugh~~”
“Ugh~ Cough cough!”
The siblings in the back seat were already leaning over the door frame, sticking their heads out and retching violently, their faces pale as if they were about to vomit up bile.
Only after the two finally quieted down did Lucoco speak up to remind them.
“Adrian, Amy, put on your headgear. We might encounter people soon.”
“Mhm… okay…”
They responded weakly, slowly putting on their respective headgear.
Adrian’s headgear was a knight’s helmet that left his chin exposed, nothing special.
Amy…
A mask that completely covered her little face, only the eye area made of special crystal, emitting a faint red trailing light…
Pretty good.
At least it ensured she wouldn’t lose the Judgment Knight’s dignity due to her childish little face!
More like a fierce young beast, quite intimidating.
Are’s headgear was also a mask, but hers covered the lower half of her face.
Mysterious runes were drawn on the mask.
Paired with her seemingly smiling yet not smiling eyes, her gentle, amiable aura instantly transformed into a beautiful yet dangerous allure, as if concealing killing intent…
‘What does this mean? So I’m the only one who looks like a naive sweetheart?’
Lucoco looked at the three, each with their own distinctive yet imposing uniforms, and let out a silent sigh in her heart.
As she leisurely drove the hovercar, Lucoco opened the player forum.
She wanted to see if there had been any big news about Versadis recently.
Hmm…
There was indeed!
A multi-ending, phased, super-large-scale main quest! Had already unfolded in Versadis.
Just a few hours ago.
✧
World-Class Legendary Quest: [The Hope of Versadis]!
Players within Level 40 can accept.
Undercurrents surge in Versadis; beneath the Prosperity lies festering wounds.
Please, great Players, help Versadis, save this kingdom from the vortex.

✧
Because of this quest, the forum was already bustling, countless players eager and ready to rush to Versadis.
Many well-funded players had already spent high fees, teleporting directly to the border via arrays, impatiently throwing themselves into the quest.
Lucoco frowned, looking at her own quest panel, only to find it blank. Her quest list didn’t have this Legendary Quest at all!
There was, however, a Legendary Quest from long ago that hadn’t progressed—the one from when she saved Ian and Lino.
‘Is it because I became a quest NPC…’
Guessing in her heart…
She casually closed the post about this Legendary Quest.
Her gaze turned towards the distance.
The hovercar moved forward slowly, accompanied by the gradually dimming sunlight.
