Chapter 116 Return (4.5k)
Augusta Manor, living room.
With Yvest's sudden words, the whole place fell into a brief silence.
Everyone seemed to be shocked by what she just said and felt a little at a loss.
In their original impression, Her Royal Highness, although her journey has been somewhat bumpy, has never given up on her ideals and became the new emperor of the Saint Laurent Empire.
Although I don’t know where this obsession comes from, she is so stubborn that it’s scary.
Anyone else, after experiencing the same life as her, would have already suffered a mental breakdown and become a walking zombie.
It is precisely because of this that although many people are afraid of Yvestle, they still have some admiration in their hearts.
Outsiders don’t know, but as subordinates, they know how difficult it is for His Highness.
So along the way, everyone was prepared to fight for her ideals throughout their lives.
But now, the situation seems to be reversed.
Her Royal Highness, who will not be knocked down by any setback, actually said in front of the Holy Oak messenger that she wanted to give up the king's election at this moment?
Wh-what happened? !
Not only Maurice, Grea and others, but also Duke Tyrus’ expression changed.
“Your Highness, be careful what you say!”
He looked at Yvestle seriously.
But after looking into those silent and indifferent bright red eyes for a second, I suddenly felt a little frightened.
What exactly does she want to do? !
On the other side, with Duke Tyrus taking the lead to dissuade him, the surrounding subordinates also began to dissuade him.
“Have you forgotten your past ideals?”
"Yes, Your Highness, the King Selection has just begun the first stage. Even if the other princes have accumulated scores in previous years, you are not completely hopeless in catching up."
"It's just five years ago. It’s just over 100 points, let’s work together to find a way to help you get it together!”
Everyone said to each other.
However, they actually know it very well.
Without Linn, given their level, it would be almost impossible to achieve a feat that could garner more than 500 points in less than two weeks.
It’s just that no one wants to give up like this.
Unfortunately, Yvesther seemed not to pay attention to these words.
After saying that sentence, he returned to his usual calm and indifferent state.
It seems that I am not interested in anything.
At this moment, the brown-haired boy from the Holy Oak Institution slowly saluted: "I'm sorry, Your Highness Ivester."
"You should know that the Hollyoak organization is only responsible for maintaining the normal operation of the King's Selection, as well as statistical sequence rankings and ratings. As for your desire to withdraw from the King's Selection, it is not within our scope of authority."
"Unless you are eliminated due to rules or die, we have no right to deprive you of your qualification to be king."
"In addition, it seems that the decision-making power in this matter does not lie with you. " The voice of the Holy Oak messenger was very calm, "Participating in the king's election is an obligation that every prince must fulfill, and it is definitely not a child's play that can be acted upon."
"So, please use the remaining time. Make achievements as soon as possible to get your score out of the negative state."
"If you still haven't reached your goal within two weeks, you don't need to take the initiative to quit. I will come in person to announce your elimination."
The brown-haired boy explained methodically.
Obviously, he rejected Yvesther's request.
But it seems there is no difference.
Yvester herself has completely lost the idea of participating in the King's Selection, and just thinks about quitting.
Under such circumstances, no matter how much her subordinates warned her, they could not stop her from going her own way.
"."
Ivester said nothing, and the surrounding atmosphere gradually became a little cold.
Seeing this, Afia, whose eyes were reddish, nodded to the complicated-looking people, and then pushed Her Royal Highness out of the reception room.
It is indeed these people.
Feeling the cold blade on his neck, Linn looked calm.
There may be other forces operating behind the scenes, but the first ones to bear the brunt are the Mosgra family and the Tianli Church.
Not to mention the Mosgra family, he personally shot and killed the heir Dallion at the dinner party. Coupled with the past feud, there was no room for change.
And this is even more true for the Tianli Church.
I personally destroyed their faith in Orne City, and later killed more than a hundred extraordinary beings in an instant by creating demons.
This is definitely a powerful force.
An ordinary first-level transcendent, especially one who believes in "natural principles", possesses extraordinary abilities that are often very destructive, and most of them are related to gravity, airflow, magnetic field, etc.
Even if you face dozens of well-trained soldiers at the same time, you can still survive.
At least in these border cities, the role of more than a hundred low-level extraordinary beings is definitely comparable to an army of nearly ten thousand people.
But Lin En completely wiped out this power.
This is equivalent to completely offending the Tianli Church.
That's why they were so eager to send people to the Sauron Mountains to search for his whereabouts.
Of course, to confirm his death.
"You don't seem to be afraid at all?"
Noting Lin En's composure at the moment, a trace of surprise appeared on the face of the burly mercenary at the head.
The light blue light of the divinely empowered factor appeared on his body surface, but for a moment no one could guess his faith.
One second-order, two first-order.
In this case, there is no need to waste time.
Looking at the body of the bodyguard lying in a pool of blood, Lin En's expression was very indifferent.
"Of course I'm not afraid." He gently held the blade on his neck, "Because a dead person can't kill someone."
"A dead person?"
"That's right." As he spoke, Lin En's eyes glowed with red light, "You are already dead."
"And there is no way to kill a dead person."
Lies slowly came out of his mouth.
As the Liar Eater's power fluctuated, the invisible power of lies was engraved into the minds of the three people like a curse seal.
The first two people behind were unable to hold on.
In just an instant, they were unable to resist the effect of the Lie Eater's lies, and they believed the fact that they were dead. Their eyes widened, and there was still a bit of disbelief on their faces.
Then, his body stiffened and fell heavily to the ground.
Lynn in her previous life had seen several similar cases.
Some people dream of their own death in their sleep, and then subconsciously believe this signal and truly enter a state of brain death.
What Lin En is doing now is exactly this.
I-I'm dead?
As the only second-level transcendent, the burly mercenary suddenly looked hollow and let go of the long knife in his hand.
The next second, the body like a giant bear crashed to the ground, throwing up a burst of dust.
In just five seconds, with just one sentence, three extraordinary beings who were not weak in strength were killed.
This is Lin En’s strength at the moment. With the existence of the system, he was able to fill up all the divine factors, and with the help of Miss Witch, he strengthened them twice.
At this moment, he is not only several times stronger than this second-level transcendent?
In the extraordinary world, the superior has such terrifying power over the inferior.
The quantity and quality of the divine factors determine everything.
Of course, this use of the liar can only torture the food, causing these people with very weak mental will to suffer.
If you were to face a more powerful second-level transcendent, or a being protected by a spiritual sealed object, you would not be able to kill him through lies.
Lin squatted down, took off a set of clothes from them and put them on himself.
Then he picked up the long knife as a shovel, dug a hole in the ground, and buried the manor guard who died looking for him in it.
After doing all this, he quickened his pace and left the mountain range.
On the carriage, Duke Tyrus pinched his eyebrows with a headache.
After Her Royal Highness left the reception room, he chased after her and persuaded her for a while, hoping that she would not give up so easily.
Although it is very difficult to earn 576 points in two weeks, with his help, there is still some hope.
But no matter what, this requires the cooperation of Evester herself.
After all, Lin En spent more than ten days to break the faith of the Tianli Church, and also collected two million gold coins from major churches.
Even so, the score is only 500 points.
If he wants to achieve greater feats than he did at that time, everyone must go all out.
Currently, the entire city of Orne has just ended its disaster and is in chaos, so Duke Tyrus has set his sights on the demon battlefield.
For the empire, the demons are undoubtedly their most troublesome enemy.
Although the armistice agreement had just been signed, Duke Tyrus knew very well that it was just a show on the surface, but in fact the war would restart at any time.
The reason why he came to the border city to collect taxes was to raise military expenses.
Now might be the perfect time to launch an attack.
Anyway, he doesn’t expect the demons to abide by any agreement honestly.
In this case, why can't we be the first to start the war?
If you want to quickly obtain a large number of King's Choice scores, military merit is undoubtedly an excellent way.
After all, Yvest's foundation is really bad.
In comparison, the second prince's gap of more than 10,000 points was simply terrifying and despairing.
Except for Yvesther, several other princes and princesses have the support of their mother clan, and even many great nobles and churches have placed bets on them.
Because these people have been secretly accumulating points for the King Selection as early as many years ago, that is why they have such terrible results.
In fact, in Duke Tyrus’ view, getting 1,500 points for solving the level 0 sealed object riot is already an extremely incredible reward, so rich that even he can’t imagine it.
After all, from the perspective of those guys in the imperial capital, this incident only affected a border city, and tens of thousands of untouchables died, which was almost equivalent to no loss.
You will know if you do the math carefully.
In just one month after Linn came to Augusta Manor, he helped Yvest gain a 3,000-point King's Choice rating, which was already one-third of the level of the second prince Felit.
If it weren’t for Yvest’s poor foundation, she might have climbed to sixth or seventh place.
One month!
That was only one month!
It only took a month to reach this level. Even if Felit himself knew about it, he was deeply shocked by it.
This simply pushed him and the nobles and churches behind him to the ground and slapped them hard in the face.
The reason why Felit is able to dominate the sequence rankings and has a king's choice score of more than 10,000 is because of the various resources he has spent over the years, including those invisible resources. If converted into Gold coins, more than one or two million?
However, Lin En achieved this with just a mouth and a pair of hands.
No wonder the second prince wanted him so much that he did not hesitate to spend 300,000 gold coins to meet him.
It's a pity that such an unusual talent is no longer alive at this moment.
And Ivester also completely closed her heart.
Thinking of this, Duke Tyrus sighed.
Actually, it’s not that he has never thought about terminating the alliance with Yvest, after all, this relationship itself was built by Lin En.
Now that he is dead, there is no need to continue to comply.
But recalling the young man's expression when he said goodbye, that kind of profound look in his eyes, Duke Tyrus had a premonition out of nowhere.
Maybe things can turn around?
I don’t know why.
Although everyone was sure that the guy was dead, Duke Tireus always felt a little sore.
Such a little fox who cares about his life would so easily sacrifice his life for a woman?
Such an idea suddenly appeared in his mind, which made Duke Tyrus feel an impulse.
“Turn around.” He said to his guards, “Go and take a look at the Bart Leon Mansion.”
In the evening, Linn finally returned to Orne City following his memory.
At this moment, he looked like a handsome beggar in the dust, standing thoughtfully at the door of Bart Leon's mansion.
I don’t know if it’s an illusion.
Against the backdrop of dusk, the entire mansion actually looked a little eerie. Not only was there no light, but even the door was tightly closed.
It seemed like there was no one inside.
So Lin En stopped a passerby and asked, "Excuse me."
Before he finished speaking, the passerby glanced at the mansion, and then his expression changed.
He pulled Linn to the side alley, and then whispered: "That mansion involves many big shots. I suggest you stay away and don't get too close."
"Elaborate."
Lin took out a few silver coins from his pocket and put them into the opponent's palm.
Seeing this, the man's eyes lit up, and then he looked around cautiously, and lowered his voice and said: "About a month ago, the third princess, Her Highness Ivester, suddenly went crazy looking for her. Came to the house and arrested all the servants in the mansion. The Ministry sentenced him to death and spared no one."
"According to rumors, it seems that the servants of the mansion often bullied him when he was first exiled."
Lynn was thoughtful.
Apparently, the Augusta Manor was very sad after learning about his death.
I just don’t know why His Highness, whom I have never met before, is so excited.
Or maybe the rumor has changed due to word of mouth spread by these gossips?
After a while, he waved his hand: "Okay, you can go."
"Hey, I haven't finished speaking yet." The passerby seemed to be a melon-eater, While being pushed by Lin En, he said with bright eyes, "It is said that After executing all the servants, she moved everything related to the young master of the Bart Leon family out of the entire mansion, even clothes and pants, so the mansion was now empty. "Nothing"
It's getting more and more outrageous.
Your Highness doesn’t know me, what are you doing with my clothes?
After finally driving away the enthusiastic crowd, Lin En returned to the door of the mansion with a look of helplessness.
It seems that there is no way to return to this home for the time being.
But he had no intention of going back, just to find a few things.
About the letter sent from the imperial capital.
All those letters had been seized by the servants at home, and he had not read any of them.
Lin En is very concerned about the current situation of her sister and her missing sister-in-law.
The three of them, plus the sister-in-law who is pregnant with the blood of her dead brother, and the unconscious father in the hospital bed, are the only remaining members of the Bart Leon family.
Just when he was lost in thought, there was suddenly a fierce braking sound in his ears.
Asking for a monthly ticket! ! !
