Chapter 98 Are you looking down on me too much? (4.5k)
Lynn covered her groggy brain and squinted her eyes because of the sunlight outside the car window.
Feeling the faint bumps from the seat beneath him, he seemed to realize something.
Raised his head, looked around, and found that he was in a luxury box of a train.
At this moment, there is no one in the carriage.
Linn was stunned for a few seconds, and then while trying to take a deep breath, he stood up from his seat and staggered towards the door.
The moment he opened the door, someone in the car behind seemed to have noticed him and walked towards him quickly.
"Master Lin En, are you awake?"
The voice of the housekeeper Kesha came over.
“Am I on the train returning to the Imperial Capital?”
Lin En pinched his eyebrows and looked at the other party with some confusion.
With Kesha’s support, he walked into the second carriage with her.
Then I saw many familiar faces sitting on the seats of this carriage.
Some of them were servants who had worked at Augusta Manor before, and some were subordinates of Yvester whom Lynn had met while dining.
He usually has little interaction with these people, so after the brief exchange of eyes at this moment, he could only read a bit of respect and seriousness in their eyes.
"Master Lin En, His Highness will rely on you for everything from now on."
Someone in the crowd suddenly raised his voice.
At the same time, everyone's eyes with different thoughts were focused on him. Some agreed, but also confused and questioned.
Rely on me?
Lynn still doesn’t understand the current situation.
But at this moment, countless broken memories came to his mind, causing him to immediately recall everything that happened last night.
What are you doing, this woman?
Looking at the train leading to freedom in front of him, Linn was not as excited as he had imagined.
Looking at the housekeeper Kesha beside him, he frowned and said: "Ms. Kesha, what is going on now?"
Hearing this, the old housekeeper closed her eyes, and then He motioned for him to sit next to him.
After waiting for the two to take their seats, Linn did not wait for Kesha's explanation.
On the contrary, she suddenly handed over a thick stack of paper.
"This is Your Highness's deposit slip at the Glostin Central Bank. It is the private money she has saved over the years, for you to use when you stay in the imperial capital."
As he said that, Kai Shah handed over a thin pamphlet.
On it is written the woman's flamboyant and flamboyant signature: Yveste Rolland Alexini.
Linn subconsciously took the pamphlet.
But for some reason, my mind suddenly recalled her beautiful and gentle look last night under the moonlight.
“This”
Lynn was about to ask something, but was interrupted in advance by Kesha.
“These are His Highness’s real estate contracts in the Imperial Capital. If you are affected by the Mosgra family and have no place to live after returning to the Imperial Capital, you can temporarily live in His Highness’s mansion. In this case They won’t embarrass you openly.”
"This, it records the connections that can be used when necessary. Although there are not many, it is the hard work accumulated by His Highness over the years."
"There are a few more, yes"
"Wait a minute, wait a minute!"
Lin finally couldn't stand it anymore and stopped him with words.
Looking at the documents in his hands, he felt that his heart was filled with absurd emotions.
"What do these mean?" Lin En frowned deeply, "Why do you make it look like a dying orphan?"
"And, she has so many subordinates, why would she give this kind of thing to me? ?”
At this moment, he just felt a little overwhelmed.
The sudden heavy responsibility suddenly fell on him, leaving him a little at a loss.
Hearing this, the housekeeper Kesha glanced at him, and then said expressionlessly: "Master Lin En should already know the specific content of His Highness's temporary mission, right?"
"Yes."
He nodded.
Yvester told him last night that she was to complete the temporary task assigned by Saint Laurent VI and deal with an unknown sealed object.
However, she did not tell him the specific information about the sealed artifact at that time.
Then Kesha suddenly handed over a piece of paper: "This is the specific information about the sealed object that His Highness needs to deal with this time."
Linn took the paper and glanced at it carefully.
But after seeing the name of the sealed object, he didn't know what he thought of, and his expression suddenly became very, very bad.
[Item name: Wishing Jar]
[Item number: Not yet contained]
[Serial level: Unknown]
[Specific origin: A mysterious sealed object passed down from generation to generation by the Creation Sect, unknown to the outside world. 】
[Effect introduction: It can fulfill any three wishes of the wisher, but it will be realized in the worst way. 】
【Containment Suggestions: It is recommended that containment personnel find out the specific characteristics before taking action. 】
Is this the ultimate goal of that woman’s mission?
For some reason, Lin En's hands trembled slightly.
However, Kesha didn't seem to notice that something was wrong with him at the moment, and just said to herself: "As you can see, although the sequence level is unknown, the information given by His Majesty is probably between level 2 and level 1. The highest level will not exceed level 1. "
"Under such circumstances, His Highness estimates the sleeping time to be about four months to half a year."
"Eye. This is a key moment for the king's selection, and it is even approaching the autumn hunting time in the imperial capital. She is not willing to waste the opportunity like this."
"So His Highness decided to send some of his subordinates who are not good at fighting first. Go to the imperial capital and lay out the situation in advance.”
“And you are His Highness’s most trusted candidate, so she will hand over these people to you.”
"What did you say?"
Lynn suddenly raised his head and looked at Kesha absurdly.
"You are His Highness's most trusted person." Kesha's face was expressionless, as if she was just stating a fact, "You don't have to doubt this."
"Because this is His Highness What he said to me personally last night"
"."
Lin En suddenly tightened his grip on the Sealed Artifact Report in his hand and slammed the table hard.
Trust me?
Are you kidding?
Dude, I have always wanted to escape from this stupid, perverted, crazy woman like you. I think about it day and night, and I can’t sleep!
What the hell did you do to me? !
And do you know what that sealed object actually represents?
Recalling the plot related to the original work, Linn finally figured out all the key nodes.
Why did the villainous princess disappear for two hundred chapters after leaving the imperial capital, and did she belatedly appear until the climax of the King's Selection - when the second prince and others were defeated?
According to the time span, nearly a year has passed!
He finally understood why Miss Witch said so many specious words when she left the Pantheon last time.
Not only did she ask him about the specific date of the current time point, but she also asked him to seize the only opportunity in her life to be soft-hearted and return to the imperial capital in advance.
Finally, he was asked to send a message to Afia and the others.
At that time, he felt something was wrong, but due to the lack of key information, he could not guess the truth.
After all, Linn, who is familiar with the original work, believes in the strength of this ultimate villain even more than herself.
So from beginning to end, he didn't think about the worst.
But after seeing the name of this sealed artifact, Lin En understood everything instantly.
That idiot Saint Laurent VI actually gave false information.
Because this wishing jar is not a fucking level 2 or level 1 sealed object but level 0!
Genuine level 0! ! !
Not only that, there is also an extremely terrifying demon living in the jar. Although it is not complete, it is definitely enough to be called an extremely troublesome existence!
In the original work, the male protagonist and others were even forced into a desperate situation, and finally the crisis was solved through divine intervention. Otherwise, half of the Saint Laurent Empire might have fallen because of this.
From this plot, we can know that Yvest's mission is destined to fail.
Not only that, it even caused the death of all the subordinates around her, and even she herself fell into a very long sleep.
After waking up, his temperament changed drastically, and he even suffered a certain degree of deformation, which led to the plot that caused chaos in the imperial capital. In the end, he was defeated by the protagonist group and imprisoned in the backwaters of the Far North. Prison.
If everything develops according to the original plot, it should be like this.
Isn't this a complete tragedy?
Lin En's face looked uncertain, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
Seeing that he suddenly fell silent, Kesha did not say anything, but took out two things again.
“Afya asked me to give this to you.” Kesha put the thing in front of him, “I clearly rejected you, but I still accepted the gift. Your Highness has already educated you on this. She died."
Looking at the small princess shoes on the table that were cared for as if they were brand new, Lin En looked stunned. Then, another letter was placed in front of him.
"This is what Master Gloria asked me to give to you."
Lin subconsciously took the letter and read it carefully.
There is actually only one sentence above.
"His Highness said that everyone who comes in person for this mission will be commended by His Majesty, and it can be regarded as a free military merit! Hehe, it's you, don't forget it when you go to the Imperial City “Brother, wait for my uncle Gloria’s triumphant return!”
I have never seen such a standard death flag in my life.
And you are not even a transcendent. What use are you to follow the past?
Lin En subconsciously wanted to complain, but found that she was not in that mood.
Gloria was one of the few friends he had after coming to this world, but he didn’t expect to get caught up in this kind of thing inexplicably.
After all, except him, no one has a future perspective, and they have no idea what will happen after that.
Seeing Lin En's stunned look at the moment, Kesha finally said: "Master Lin En, you seem to be feeling a little unwell?"
"Oh, it's okay." Lin En shook his head subconsciously and looked towards That pair of princess shoes, "It was the first time in my life that I received original shoes worn by a beautiful girl. I was a little excited."
"."
Kesha was silent.
“By the way, is there a bathroom here?”
Lin En suddenly stood up unsteadily and asked casually.
I don’t know whether it’s because the drug didn’t take effect, or because of some other reason.
After Kesha showed him the way, Linn got into the toilet as if he was escaping.
He turned on the faucet, scooped up a handful of water and threw it on his face, trying to wake himself up.
Looking at the wet black-haired boy in the mirror, Linn took a deep breath.
"I'm very happy." He suddenly said, "I'm very happy to have escaped from that woman."
Lie.
This is a lie!
Since he did not lie to himself, but just expressed an idea, the liar-eater's ability to identify lies was activated instantly.
Lie?
How is it possible?
Lin En looked at the young man in the mirror and found that the other man's expression was actually a little bad.
He is also a little confused now about the relationship between himself and the woman, and what he is thinking deep down in his heart.
My mind is very confused.
So, the real answer can only be found through this method of self-verification.
"I"
Lin En wanted to ask something, but the words on his lips became blurry in an instant due to the residual effects of the anesthetic.
What do I want to ask?
He tried to relax, but he couldn't catch the light in his heart.
“Pa!”
Lin En suddenly slapped himself hard.
Remembered.
What just echoed deep in my heart was actually a sentence.
An insignificant sentence that I once talked about with Milani.
At that time, he asked Milani what was the most profound emotion in the world.
Milani answered him with a smile, showing regret.
That’s right.
The most profound emotion in the world is not anger or despair, but regret.
You cannot turn back time. No matter what decision you make now, you will continue on the path of your choice without any chance of turning back.
And those emotions that will become more timeless after a long period of time are regrets.
Regret why I made the wrong decision at that time.
"If I just walk away today, I will definitely feel regretful in the future."
This is the truth.
The Liar Eater responded.
Why?
Linn was very puzzled.
His heart was filled with countless confusing emotions, which made him somewhat unable to sort them out.
However, time is running out now and it is not the time to think about such things at all.
So, he decided not to think too deeply.
Give your trust completely to the current liar.
At the same time, Linn once again captured the intense emotion filling his chest.
“I’m angry right now.”
This is the truth.
Lynn's mind subconsciously recalled the scene when Miss Witch told him to leave Orne City that day at the Pantheon.
And the silent tears that slipped from the corners of Yvest's eyes last night.
He seemed to understand something.
Everyone puts him in the perspective of the weakest person in this incident.
Your Royal Highness, let’s not mention it for now.
But what about Miss Witch?
He looked like he had given up resistance, thinking that he could do nothing and was unable to change anything, so he acquiesced to save his life and let him escape back to the imperial capital to retain his strength.
As for what kind of painful ending she will encounter later, it doesn't seem to matter at all.
What is the overall situation?
Accumulate strength and seek a further future?
This may be the right and rational choice.
But it was not a choice based on his own wishes.
Everyone overlooked one thing.
"Miss Witch, and Her Royal Highness, you are looking down on me too much, right?"
Lin took a deep breath.
At this moment, he seemed to have returned to his usual calm self.
What's more, with his character, how could he miss such a major event that could earn a lot of points and change the juncture of history?
"Lynn Bartleon, you will reverse all this."
Looking at the black-haired boy in the mirror, Linn said word by word.
Is this a lie?
Such a voice seemed to come from the subconscious.
“No, it’s a promise.”
"Because I have already promised Miss Witch to please her."
"It is the same whether it is her now or her in the future."
"Kay, Kesha Madam, something bad has happened!”
A subordinate suddenly ran over in a hurry.
“What happened?”
The housekeeper who was drinking tea said calmly.
"Master Lin En. Master Lin En, he jumped out of the bathroom window and escaped!!!"
This news was like a bolt from the blue, causing everyone present to panic for a moment. .
Only Kesha sat calmly.
"I understand. In addition, inform the conductor so that the train can move forward at full speed."
