Chapter 116 Return (4.5k)

Augusta Manor, inside the reception room.

Following Ivisette's sudden words, the entire audience fell into a brief silence.

It seemed that everyone was shocked by what she had just said, and was somewhat at a loss.

In their original impression, although Her Royal Highness the Princess's journey had always seemed a bit bumpy, she had never given up her ideal of becoming the new emperor of the Saint Laurent Empire.

Although I don't know where this obsession comes from, she is so stubborn that it is frightening.

If anyone else had experienced the same life as her, they would have suffered a mental breakdown and become a walking corpse.

It is precisely because of this that although many people are full of fear of Ivester, they still have some admiration for her in their hearts.

Outsiders may not know, but as subordinates, they know exactly 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 have reversed.

The princess who would never be defeated by any setback actually said in person in front of the Holy Oak Messenger that she wanted to give up the royal election? What on earth happened? !

Not only Morris, Graya and others, but even Duke Tyrus's face changed.

"Your Highness, be careful with your words!"

He looked at Yvesette seriously.

But after looking into those silent and cold red eyes for a second, I suddenly felt a little frightened.

What on earth does she want to do?!

On the other hand, with Duke Tyrus taking the lead in dissuading him, the subordinates around him also began to advise him.

"Have you forgotten your ideals?"

"Yes, Your Highness. The royal selection has just begun its first phase. Even though the other princes have accumulated points from previous years, you are not completely hopeless to catch up."

"It's just over 500 points. Let's work together to help you get the total!"

Everyone was talking at once.

However, they all knew it clearly in their hearts.

Without Lin En, with their level, it would be almost impossible for them to achieve a feat that could earn more than 500 points in less than two weeks.

But no one wants to give up just like that.

Unfortunately, Yvesette seemed to ignore these words.

After saying that, he returned to his usual calm and indifferent state.

It seems like I have no interest in anything.

At this moment, the brown-haired boy from the Holy Oak Organization bowed slowly: "I'm sorry, Her Highness Yvesette."

"You should know that the Holy Oak Organization is only responsible for maintaining the normal operation of the King's Selection and calculating the ranking and scoring sequence. As for your request to withdraw from the King's Selection, it is not within our scope of authority."

"Unless you are eliminated due to the rules, or die, we have no right to deprive you of your eligibility to be elected king."

"Besides, it seems that the decision-making power on this matter does not lie with you." The Holy Oak Messenger's voice was very calm. "Participating in the King's Selection is an obligation that every prince must fulfill. It is definitely not a trifle that can be acted on impulse."

"So, please make achievements as quickly as possible in the remaining time to get your score out of the negative state."

"If you still don't reach your goal within two weeks, you don't need to voluntarily withdraw. I will come here in person to announce your elimination."

The brown-haired boy explained methodically.

Obviously, he rejected Yvesette's request.

But it seems that there is no difference.

Yvesette herself had completely lost the idea of ​​participating in the royal election and only wanted to withdraw.

Under such circumstances, no matter how her subordinates advised her, they could not stop her from going her own way.

“.”

Yvesette said nothing, and the atmosphere around her gradually became a little cold.

Seeing this, Afiya, with red eyes, nodded to everyone with complicated expressions, and then pushed Her Royal Highness the Princess out of the reception room.

It turned out to be these people.

Feeling the cold blade on his neck, Lynn's face remained calm.

There may be other forces operating behind the scenes, but the Mosgra family and the Tenli Church are the first to bear the brunt.

Needless to say, the Mosgra family had no chance of turning around as he personally shot the heir, Darion, to death at the dinner party, and coupled with the deadly feud in the past, there was no room for maneuver.

This is especially true of the Tenli Church.

He personally destroyed their faith in the city of Orne, and later used the means of creating demons to kill more than a hundred extraordinary people in an instant.

This is definitely a strong force.

An ordinary first-level extraordinary person, especially one who believes in "Heavenly Law", often possesses extraordinary abilities that are extremely destructive, and most of them are related to gravity, airflow, magnetic fields, and the like.

Even when facing dozens of well-trained soldiers at the same time, he can still hold his own.

At least in these border cities, the role of more than one hundred low-level transcendents is definitely equivalent to that of an army of nearly ten thousand people.

But Lynn wiped out this power completely.

This is equivalent to completely offending the Tianli Church.

That's why they sent people to the Sauron Mountains so urgently to search for his whereabouts.

To confirm his death, of course.

"You don't seem afraid at all?"

Noticing Lin En's calmness at the moment, the burly mercenary in the lead showed a hint of surprise on his face.

A light blue divine glow appeared on his body, but it was impossible to guess what his beliefs were.

One second order, two first order.

In that case, let's not 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 squeezed the blade on his neck, "Because a dead person can't kill anyone."

"dead?"

"That's right." As he spoke, a red light shone in Lin En's eyes, "You are already dead."

"And the dead can't kill anyone."

The lie slowly fell from 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.

The first ones to collapse were the two first-level transcendents at the back.

In just a moment, they were unable to resist the effect of the Liar Eater's lies and believed that they were dead. Their eyes widened and there was still a hint of disbelief on their faces.

Then, his body fell heavily to the ground with stiffness.

In his previous life, Lynn had seen several similar cases.

Some people dream of their own death while they are sleeping, and then their subconscious mind believes this signal and really enters a state of brain death.

And what Lin En is doing now is exactly this.

I, I'm already dead?

As the only second-level transcendent, the burly mercenary suddenly looked empty and loosened the long sword in his hand.

The next second, the body that looked like a giant bear fell to the ground with a bang, splashing up a cloud of dust.

In just five seconds, with just one sentence, he killed three powerful transcendents.

This is Lynn’s current strength.

With the system, he could max out all of his divine factors, and with the help of Miss Witch, he was able to undergo a second strengthening.

At this moment, he is more than several times stronger than this second-level extraordinary person? In the extraordinary world, the superiors have such terrifying dominance over the inferiors.

The quantity and quality of the divine factors determine everything.

Of course, this method of using the Liar Eater can only bully weaklings and make those with weak mental will suffer.

If you were to face a more powerful second-level transcendent, or a being protected by a mental seal, you would not be able to kill it by lying.

Lin En squatted down, took off a set of clothes from them and put them on himself.

Then he picked up the long knife and used it as a shovel. He dug a hole in the ground and buried the manor guard who had died while looking for him.

After doing all this, he quickened his pace and left the mountains.

In the carriage, Duke Tyrvus pinched his brows with a headache.

After Her Royal Highness the Princess left the reception room, he chased after her and tried to persuade 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, there is still some hope with his assistance.

6◇9◇Book◇Bar

But no matter what, this requires the cooperation of Ivisette herself.

After all, it took Lin En more than ten days to break the faith of the Tianli Church and he also collected two million gold coins from various churches.

Even so, it only has a score of 500 points.

If we want to achieve even greater feats than he did at that time, everyone must give their all.

The entire city of Orne had just ended a disaster and was in chaos, so Duke Tyrus turned his attention to the demon battlefield.

For the empire, the demons are undoubtedly their most troublesome enemy.

Although the armistice agreement had just been signed, Duke Tyrvus knew very well that it was just a superficial gesture and the war could be restarted at any time.

And he had come to the border city to collect taxes in order to raise military funds.

Now might be the perfect time to launch an attack.

Anyway, he didn'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 gain a large number of King Selection points, military merit is undoubtedly an excellent way.

After all, Yvesette's foundation is too poor.

In comparison, the second prince's gap of more than 10,000 points was so terrifying that it was despairing.

Except for Yvesette, the other princes and princesses have the support of their mother's families, and even many nobles and churches are betting on them.

Because these people have been secretly accumulating points for the king's selection since many years ago, they have achieved such terrible results.

In fact, in the eyes of Duke Tyrvus, getting 1,500 points for resolving a Level 0 Sealed Artifact riot was already an extremely incredible reward, so generous that even he couldn't imagine it.

After all, from the perspective of those guys in the imperial capital, this incident only affected a border city and killed tens of thousands of untouchables, which was almost equivalent to no loss.

Just do the math carefully and you’ll know.

Within just one month after Lin En came to Augusta Manor, he helped Yvesthet to earn 3,000 points in the King's Choice Score, which is already one-third of the level of the Second Prince Ferit.

If Yvesette's foundation hadn't been so poor, she would have probably climbed to sixth or seventh place by now.

One month!

That was only one month!

It only took one month to reach this level, and even Ferit himself was deeply shocked when he learned about it.

This was simply pinning him and the nobles and churches behind him to the ground and slapping them hard in the face.

The reason why Felit was able to lead the rankings and have a King's Choice score of over 10,000 was that the various resources he had spent over the years, including those invisible resources, if converted into gold coins, would be more than 10 or 20 million. However, Lin En achieved this with just his mouth and a pair of hands.

No wonder the Second Prince was so eager for him that he was willing to spend 300,000 gold coins to meet him.

It’s a pity that such an alternative talent is no longer alive.

And Yvesette also completely closed her heart.

Thinking of this, Duke Tyrus sighed.

In fact, he had thought about ending his alliance with Yvesette. After all, this relationship was built by Lin En.

Now that he is dead, there is no need for him to continue to abide by it.

But recalling the boy's expression when he said goodbye, that meaningful look, Duke Tyrus somehow had a premonition.

Maybe there is still hope?

I don’t know why.

Although everyone was certain that the guy was dead, Duke Tyrvus always felt a little upset.

Would such a life-loving little fox be so easily so hot-blooded as to sacrifice his life for a woman? Such a thought suddenly emerged in his mind, causing Duke Tyrus to feel a little impulsive.

"Turn around." He said to his guards, "Let's take a look at Bartleron's mansion."

In the evening, Lynn finally returned to Orne City following his memory.

At this moment, he looked like a handsome beggar, standing at the door of Bartleron's mansion, thoughtfully.

I don’t know if it’s an illusion.

Against the backdrop of dusk, the entire mansion actually looked somewhat eerie. Not only was there no light at all, but even the door was tightly closed.

It was as if there was no one inside.

So Lin En stopped a passerby and asked, "Excuse me."

Before he could finish his words, the passerby glanced towards the mansion and his expression changed.

He pulled Lin En into an alley nearby, then whispered, "Many important figures are involved in that mansion. I suggest you stay away from it and don't get too close."

"Tell me more."

Lynn took out a few silver coins from his pocket and put them into the other person's palm.

Seeing this, the man's eyes lit up, and then he looked around vigilantly and said in a low voice: "About a month ago, the Third Princess Iviste suddenly came to our house like a madman, arrested all the servants in the mansion, and sentenced them all to death, without letting any one go."

"According to rumors, it seems that the servants of the mansion often bullied that 'disgrace of the nobility' when he was first exiled here."

Lynn was thoughtful.

Apparently, Augusta Manor was deeply saddened upon learning of his death.

I just don't know why the prince, whom I have never met, would be so excited.

Or maybe the rumor was spread by word of mouth by those gossipers, so it changed its meaning? After a moment, he waved his hand: "Okay, you can go now."

“Hey, I haven’t finished yet.” The passerby seemed to be a spectator. As he was pushed by Lin En, his eyes sparkled, and he said, “It is said that after executing all the servants, she moved away everything related to the young master of the Bartleron family in the entire mansion, even clothes and pants. So now this mansion is empty, nothing is left…”

This is getting more and more outrageous.

Your Highness doesn't even know me, why is he taking my clothes?

After finally driving away the enthusiastic crowd, Lin En returned to the door of the mansion with a helpless look on his face.

It looks like I can't go back to this home for the time being.

But he hadn't planned to go back, he just wanted to find a few things.

About the letter sent from the imperial capital.

Those letters had been confiscated by the servants at home, and he had not read any of them.

Lin En is very concerned about the current situation of his sister and his missing sister-in-law.

The three of them, plus the sister-in-law who was pregnant with her dead brother's blood, and the father who was unconscious on the hospital bed, were the only remaining members of the Bartleron family.

Just as he was lost in thought, he suddenly heard a loud braking sound.

Ask for monthly ticket!!!
