Chapter 33 Second-Level Ability—Crown of Thorns
【Do you want to spend 10 system points to extract abilities? 】
Looking at the lottery disc inlaid with more than thirty fan-shaped reliefs in front of him, Lin En swallowed.
Feeling the vibration from the carriage beneath him, he felt a sense of tension in his heart.
At this moment, Gloria was chattering away, but he had no intention of listening at all.
Linn decided to draw his ability again.
Although the first-level ability Liar I drew last time was thought to be useless at first, it is not so in actual use.
In these days of danger, the Liar Eater has made considerable achievements.
So Lin En has long regarded it as an ability with incredible effects.
But even so, what he currently lacks most is straightforward offensive methods.
There is no other way but to use a gun.
Recalling that night in the tavern room, he had to fight with his life, and since Morris had no intention of killing him, he barely won.
But the feeling of gambling on life is really bad.
It was as if he could not help but become Yvesther's subordinate and had to help her do things.
So in the final analysis, only when you become stronger is the last word.
Last time, Linn used some small operations to increase Yvette's plot deviation to 0.13%, which resulted in 12 more system points being recorded.
Therefore, he decided not to use these points to upgrade the Liar's abilities.
The current Liar Eater is enough, but the points are very scarce.
Instead of thinking about whether the advanced version of Liar Eater will evolve into an offensive ability, it is better to seek wealth and wealth in danger.
With this thought in mind, Linn pressed the OK button anxiously.
As the pointer twitched, his heart rose to his throat.
The needle tip finally stopped on a very strange icon.
At that time, a mark glowing with faint blood could be vaguely seen as a twisted human face that gathered countless mourning souls.
Okay, this is another setting that was not mentioned in the original work.
Lynn sighed.
At the same time, a system prompt sounded in my ears.
[Congratulations on drawing the second level ability - Crown of Thorns! 】
Oh?
The name sounds pretty cool?
Lin En's eyes lit up slightly, and then he clicked on the ability introduction.
[Name: Crown of Thorns]
[Rank: Second Level]
[Effect: Under the action of this ability, the pain you feel will be doubled, but in contrast, you can Accumulate these pains and release them all at once. 】
[Activation conditions: Possessing more than 3 divine factors]
[Points required for upgrade: 50]
"."
Lin couldn't help but want to wail.
Judging from the effect alone, this kind of active skill that can be superimposed is undoubtedly extremely unparalleled.
But the problem is that if you want to make the enemy feel pain, you must first endure the pain.
As the saying goes, if you kill the enemy eight hundred, you will lose one thousand.
Lin En is not a pussy, nor does she have any masochistic tendencies.
He is even the type who is quite afraid of pain. However, in order not to show his cowardice when he was in the underground prison, he forced himself to endure it as if nothing happened.
But that doesn't mean he can ignore the pain.
What's more, according to the introduction of this effect, once this ability is activated, the pain you feel will be doubled.
Lin En just wants a serious attack ability, even fireball or waterball.
But the system failed to fulfill his wish.
Lin sighed inwardly and turned off the system.
At the same time, Gloria's somewhat suspicious voice came to his ears: "Are you listening to me?"
"Of course."
Lin En replied casually.
Seeing his appearance, Gloria's already anxious heart became even more uncertain.
Sure enough, it was a mistake for Her Royal Highness to entrust this arduous task to the two of them.
But even so, he could not back down when he was betting on the glory of the Augusta family.
Thinking of this, Greya took a deep breath: "I will repeat it one last time. When you get to the shanty town later, be sure not to be too showy, so as not to arouse public anger."
“What we have to do is to make those three hundred and twelve unable Every civilian who enters the city must sign this contract." Greya handed half of the thick stack of paper to Lin En. "These contracts have certain extraordinary effects and can restrict their behavior and prevent them from doing so. Creationist beliefs spread throughout the city. ”
"This is also the minimum requirement for us from the City Council and the Public Security Bureau. Everyone must sign a copy before they can be released."
Lin took the contract from Grea's hand and scanned it at will. Take a look.
There are articles written in the ancient Saint Laurent language.
The general meaning is that the signatories will promise not to promote the ideas of the Creation School in Orne City.
If you violate it, you will suffer backlash.
"I know." Lin En shook his head, "But it's ironic to say that these civilians are obviously not under the jurisdiction of His Highness. If you insist on saying it, it should be the fault of the City Council. In the end, no one is willing to take over. In the end It hit us on the head."
Graia sighed helplessly.
Those nobles just felt that Yveste was not favored. They were ordered to come to the border this time because of the disgust of Saint Laurent VI.
So their attitude is particularly contemptuous.
Of course, the possibility of a prince instigating this cannot be ruled out.
After all, this is a necessary struggle for the king's election. If there is an opportunity to weaken the opponent, no one will treat it as a child's play. "By the way, how long are you going to stay on top of me?"
Lin suddenly said to Afia, who was biting the back of her head.
Hearing this, the little black cat let go of his teeth and landed lightly in the carriage.
“You deserve it!”
Afia hummed, then turned her head to the side.
At this moment, with some forward inertia, the carriage slowly stopped on the side of the road.
“We’re here.”
Greya and Linn looked at each other.
Then the two opened the door and stepped down the steps from the carriage.
Afia hesitated.
But remembering Her Royal Highness’s instructions to him, he couldn’t help but trot after the two of them.
With the blazing sunshine at noon, Lin En narrowed his eyes slightly and stared at the scene in front of him.
At a glance, I saw that in an open space outside the city, a large number of dilapidated shacks appeared at some point. Some of them even had thatched roofs, which were extremely crude.
In front of these shacks, a dark group of people is standing at this moment.
Most of them were dressed in rags, and their eyes were filled with numbness and frustration.
Many people are kneeling on the ground, making pious gestures and praying to the goddess of creation they believe in.
It seemed that someone was aware of someone coming here. For a moment, many eyes were cast towards Lin En and Grea.
Seeing two young men in gorgeous clothes, a trace of vigilance appeared in their eyes.
A moment later, two men in police uniforms trotted over while touching their gun holsters.
It seems that these two are the candidates responsible for monitoring these civilians.
"Master Gloria? I didn't expect you to be sent from the manor?"
One of the sheriffs said with a smile.
Obviously, as the local leader, the Augusta family’s power cannot be underestimated.
However, in Orne City, where power is deeply entangled, it is not impossible that there are families stronger than him.
And the current incident of the Creation School, even if it is a brief confrontation between the forces behind these families, is very involved.
Yvesther was the first to bear the brunt and had to leave.
So in a sense, there are many eyes staring at the shanty town at this moment, waiting for the final result of this matter.
Gloria can be described as Alexander.
Once it can't be dealt with, it will be Her Royal Highness's face that will be embarrassed in the end.
Even if the matter is dealt with reluctantly in the end, if the method is not straightforward enough, it will still be criticized.
So he frowned and said to the Sheriff in front of him: "What is the situation now?"
Hearing this, the Sheriff bowed his head and replied: "They were making trouble again just now. As we were about to enter the city, we injured two people, and then we calmed down a little. Come."
"Don't worry, the commander has told us before that you are solely responsible for this matter. Whatever you say is what you want, and we will never interfere."
As he spoke, a hint of cunning flashed in this guy's eyes.
In just two sentences, the Sheriff's Department was removed from this matter and all the responsibility was put on Yvest's side.
Obviously, they don't want to touch this mess.
After seeing that Augusta Manor sent only two young boys, the two of them almost burst into joy.
This kind of person is best fooled.
For a moment, Greya was in a dilemma.
The atmosphere suddenly became somewhat silent.
But just as the two police officers were about to say something, they suddenly heard a voice coming from the side: "Is it true that what we say means what we say?"
Hearing this, The sheriff was stunned for a moment.
When I saw that the person who was speaking was a handsome and dignified black-haired young man, although I couldn’t figure out his identity, I still said with a smile: "Of course, this young master, we are talking about Do it.”
Lynn nodded: “Then go kill all these untouchables.”
"Hey!"
Graya was stunned at that moment, with a layer of cold sweat breaking out on his back.
His Highness only asked you to solve the problem, but he did not ask you to solve the person who caused the problem!
Although the lives of civilians are nothing, if they are really killed, it will definitely cause an uproar throughout the empire.
Countless people will make a fuss about this and send Yvest to the gallows!
When the two police officers saw this, they were also a little ashamed: "You, you are joking. You are joking, right?"
Lin laughed and was noncommittal.
Then, he suddenly turned his head and asked Afia, who was squatting aside and eating melon with relish: "By the way, what is the menu at the manor tonight?"
"Flavored stew" , and beef stew. No, why are you asking?"
Afya looked at him warily.
"I'm a little hungry again." Lin En touched his stomach. "It's about one or two o'clock at noon now. Calculating the time, we should be in time for dinner after it's over."
"You've been here since just now What are you trying to do by saying something incomprehensible?”
Greya finally couldn’t help but ask.
In his view, Linn not only failed to propose any method that would help solve the problem, but even seemed a little passive.
However, Linn did not answer his question.
Under the gaze of everyone, he walked quickly towards the crowd gathered in the distance.
While walking, he opened his arms and activated the Liar Eater's ability.
For such a trivial matter, Lin En decided to solve it quickly.
“All eyes are on me!”
