Chapter 186 Lin En's Ultimate Trump Card
Pantheon.
Countless statues guard the tall palace like guards, solemn and dignified. The only remaining few chains of order hang down from the void, sealing the terrifying existence that the whole world fears.
The cold woman with white hair and black dress did not sit on the edge of the steps reading a book as usual.
On the contrary, at this moment, she seemed to have lost the calmness she usually displayed. Her eyebrows were slightly frowned, and she paced back and forth with her tender and white feet bare.
The skin on the soles of the feet touched the ground from time to time, making a "tapping" sound, which was particularly clear in the silent hall.
In the end, I was impulsive.
After a long time, Miss Witch sighed slightly.
Even after a hundred thousand years of experience, sometimes she still couldn't suppress the impulse deep in her heart.
But there is nothing we can do about it.
Because the Goddess of the Moon has reinforced the seal, her ability to interfere with the space and time of her believers is now extremely weak.
If it weren't for the mark of the Chosen One maintaining the relationship between the two, I'm afraid even his prayers wouldn't be answered.
Now, only if Lin En can significantly influence the fate of Tia Yuhesti can the seal be released again.
Therefore, Miss Witch used her last bit of strength to send the instructions to Lynn's mind.
Of course, that’s not all.
In addition, she also attached a picture by some strange coincidence.
Obviously, the actual situation was not like this, but in the end, the witch lady turned the truth upside down and made the Moon Goddess, who was beaten and fled by her, become the winner who tortured her.
She even made herself look helpless and miserable in the picture.
From the perspective of human aesthetics, I am afraid that no male with normal sexual orientation would remain indifferent after witnessing such a scene.
Lynn is certainly no exception.
But this kind of thing is still a bit shameful after all.
However, the extremely strong sense of crisis still made the Witch of the End take such a move.
Nothing else.
Just because her opponent is "herself".
That day, Lynn's body was filled with a fierce battle with Yvesthe inside the bloody gate. Although he won with a slight advantage, judging from the woman's subsequent trick of "playing hard to get", he seemed to have lost slightly.
Because Lynn's reaction is intriguing.
He even speculated, "Did Miss Witch really modify my memory?"
This means that the memory seal is on the verge of breaking.
But at this critical moment, the Chain of Order was reinforced by the Goddess of the Moon, and he had no way to extend the duration of the seal. He could only watch as things went beyond his expectations.
In desperation, Miss Witch could only resort to this last resort.
Isn't it just pretending to be pitiful? Isn't it playing hard to get? Isn't it just arousing the desire to protect and the sense of guilt in the man's heart? This is not a difficult thing.
Don't forget, I am you one hundred thousand years from now.
You can do it, and so can I.
You won't, and neither will I.
What? As the Witch of the End, don't you feel ashamed and embarrassed to do such a thing?
But the other party is his only believer, so it’s no big deal.
Moreover, putting aside the two identities of a prisoner of the Pantheon and the Witch of the End, and without looking at her from the perspective of gods, she has another identity that may have long been overlooked by people.
woman.
That's right.
Before she met Lynn, she was a woman who had never opened her heart to any member of the opposite sex.
And since you are a woman, it is normal to want to act unreasonably and coquettishly with others sometimes.
"Are you awake?"
When Joshua slowly woke up from his coma and opened his eyes, he heard a familiar voice in his ears.
Looking at the dark and empty old factory in front of him, his brain had not yet reacted.
What is this place? Why am I here? Joshua took a deep breath, but the thick dust in the air made him cough.
The air quality in the lower city is so poor that it cannot be compared with the upper city where the nobles live.
The violent coughing finally brought him back to consciousness and he woke up completely.
I still remember that before I lost my memory, I was the one closest to Lin En and heard him say that sentence very clearly.
"I am the limb-replacer."
That guy is a limb transplanter? How is that possible?! The Fourth Prince Joshua was extremely shocked and angry.
On the one hand, he was afraid of his current situation. After all, every night when he closed his eyes, he would see the scene of Eunice's tragic death in front of everyone.
Although he was unwilling to admit it, he was actually full of fear of Lin En deep in his heart.
On the other hand, it feels incredibly ridiculous.
Let's take a step back.
Even if he is a limb grafter, doesn't he understand what it means to kidnap a prince? ! Especially a prince who ranks fifth in the Hollyoaks selection organization! He may become the king of this country in the future!
Lin En's action, especially taking him away in front of countless people in public, was undoubtedly a slap in the face of the royal family!
Even Saint Laurent VI, whose parent-child relationship was very cold, would never allow such a thing to happen!
It is very likely that the entire city has been under martial law at the moment, and all major forces have begun to hunt him down and encircle him.
Under such circumstances, this guy actually had the leisure to talk to him? The fourth prince, Joshua, immediately tried to break free from the chair, but found that his hands and feet were tightly bound by black silk threads.
"Let me go!"
He clenched his teeth, suppressed the fear and anger in his heart, and tried to maintain his dignity as a prince.
However, the other party did not respond to his request.
Not only that, in the moonlight, Joshua vaguely saw that this guy was looking at him with a grim look.
He was clearly smiling, but there was no trace of smile in his eyes.
It made him shudder, just like a butcher looking at a pig to be slaughtered.
The last time I saw Lin En with such a look was at the door of the Mandated Punisher headquarters.
He looked at himself like this at that time, and then said, "Are you very proud?"
Then, the situation took a sharp turn for the worse.
Could it be that this guy was going to do something crazy again? Joshua's heart was pounding.
Thinking of this, his strong desire to survive prompted him to speak: "Whatever you want to do, think carefully before doing it!"
"Hosting a prince is an unforgivable crime. I hope you can stop and not make a mistake. Otherwise..."
“What else?” Lin En patted his face and said with a smile, “According to what you said, it’s already a capital crime anyway. In that case, what does it matter if there are a few more charges?”
"For example, torturing and killing a prince?"
Joshua's body was shaking slightly, and the trembling coming from deep in his heart made him almost unable to maintain his dignity.
The hatred between the two may have been irreversible from the beginning.
After all, he had personally participated in the incident of depriving him of the divine factor in his body, and he also participated in the subsequent persecution of the Bartleon family.
Later, he even forced Eleanor to draw blood repeatedly for his own experimental research.
As for this morning, they colluded with the Imperial Parliament to force Ivester to abdicate and threatened Lynn's freedom and life, which intensified the conflict to the extreme.
Come to think of it, it was strange that I could wake up alive.
Having said that, it is still human nature to fear death.
At least after realizing that he would not die easily, a glimmer of hope suddenly ignited in the heart of the Fourth Prince Joshua.
"Aren't you afraid of death at all?" He took a deep breath, trying to calm the tension and panic in his heart. "Brother and sister have just reunited, and we don't know whether our father is dead or alive. In this situation, can you really abandon all your retreats and risk your life just for a moment of pleasure?"
After saying this, he stared at the profile of Lynn, trying to detect a touch of emotion in his expression.
However, as time passed, Joshua's heart sank bit by bit.
"Do you think I'm going to die here because of something as trivial as this?"
As if realizing his purpose, Lynn shook her head.
"A small matter?" Joshua seemed to find it a little ridiculous. "Are you saying that killing a member of the Imperial Parliament in the street and kidnapping the prince is a small matter that does not warrant death?"
He looked at Lynn in disbelief.
"This statement is not rigorous, because Senator Black is not dead. He is only permanently disabled due to the permanent fracture of the 18th and 19th joints of the spine. I'm afraid he will have to spend the rest of his life in bed eating, drinking, defecating and urinating."
The other party spoke horrifying words lightly.
That’s the head of the Cortes family!
A noble and terrible Imperial Senator!
6◇9◇Book◇Bar
In this country, they are the small group standing at the top of the food chain!
Even though he is the fourth prince, as long as he has not yet ascended the throne, he must remain humble when meeting the other party.
Thinking of this, Joshua tried to delay time and asked, "Even if he is not killed, Father will never tolerate a guy who repeatedly challenges his authority to live in this world."
At the moment, the other party doesn't seem to have any intention of letting him go, so he can only try to use other means to save himself.
And delaying time is undoubtedly the most correct option.
Although Glostin is very large, over the years, the infiltration of various major forces has already reached the point of being pervasive.
It is not difficult to find the two people in such a huge imperial capital.
Lin En smiled and said, "Of course he won't tolerate a guy who repeatedly challenges his authority living in this world. It's just that you seem to have mistaken the person who is actually challenging him."
"What do you mean?"
"Nothing interesting." Lin En said casually while feeling the movement around him, "I just feel that those who can sit in the Imperial Parliament are really a bunch of old foxes."
"In comparison, Councillor Black is still too young. He was instigated to be the first to take action because of such a small matter, and he even tried to take revenge on my Highness without knowing the consequences. Doesn't he know who my Highness is collecting taxes for?"
"Don't you think about whether His Majesty will be happy or angry after killing him, one of the main culprits who caused the border tax revenue to be embezzled for many years."
He seemed to be talking to himself, or explaining something to Joshua.
The relationship between the Imperial Parliament and the Emperor can be considered as a subordinate relationship, but can also be considered as two clearly distinct lines.
After all, the power struggle between the royal family and the nobility has never stopped since ancient times.
Even the current farce may be a part of Saint Laurent VI's borrowing a knife to kill someone else.
Perhaps after inducing Yvesthe to pay attention to matters related to the Tomb of Heremus, all subsequent developments were already within his expectations.
Unfortunately, Lynn did not fall for it and only made Congressman Black disabled for life.
Even so, for a noble who once sat high on the throne, losing the ability to move his lower body was more painful than killing him.
When Joshua heard Lynn's words, he was disdainful at first, but gradually, he began to sweat profusely.
Because what this guy said makes some sense.
Not only that, he also realized something.
Under what circumstances could a kidnapper chat with the kidnapped person so calmly?
"You can't kill me. I, I can't die. The Ruins Project is not yet completed. I..."
Joshua was talking incoherently.
Damn it! Why haven't the Mandated Punisher and the people from the major churches come yet? !
This prince is going to be killed by this guy!!!
Sensing his despair and panic at the moment, Lin En glanced at him and said, "Don't worry, I won't kill you."
At that moment, Joshua seemed to see the dawn of hope.
However, just as the thought came to his mind, it was completely shattered by the evil smile that appeared on the other party's mouth the next second: "However, if you 'accidentally' die in the aftermath of the battle between me and the limb-attacher, it will have nothing to do with me."
Upon hearing this, Joshua's face froze, and then became completely gloomy.
The atmosphere fell into silence for a moment.
After an unknown amount of time, he raised his head again and looked at Lin En with a resentful look: "I am his biological son. Even if there are thousands of reasons, it is only natural for a father to avenge his son."
revenge?
Maybe.
Lynn did not comment.
It remains to be seen how much so-called family affection and humanity Saint Laurent VI still has left.
Even if he wanted to avenge Joshua, it would never be now.
Because there is something in his body that he has dreamed of to the extreme, and it is even indispensable for him to take that step.
The core features of the Wishing Jar.
Because the degree of fusion is too deep, even the witch lady cannot remove this thing from her body.
If even gods were like this, what about Saint Laurent VI? Once Lin En died, his core characteristics would also be shattered.
Therefore, at the moment, Saint Laurent VI may be the person who least wants anything to happen to Lin En, except for those close to him.
This is his ultimate trump card.
At this moment, Lin En suddenly noticed a slight movement in the silk thread at his fingertips.
After selecting the old factory as the location for the final battle, he used endless silk to lay a dragnet. If any creature within a radius of 500 meters stepped into it, he would receive feedback immediately.
Thinking of this, his eyes narrowed slightly.
"It seems that a guest has arrived."
"Your Excellency, do you have any idea?"
On the towering eaves, Sister Louise, who was wearing a tight leather jacket and fully armed, spoke softly.
When you are outside, you still have to refer to your position and not be as casual as you would in normal times.
At this moment, Louise looked quite out of place carrying a beheading sword that was taller than her.
Behind her stood eight other nuns dressed similarly, bathed in the moonlight, with compassionate looks on their faces.
At this moment, in addition to the search team sent by the Church of Silence, the Mandated Punishers, the other two churches, and even the private guards of many nobles were all searching for Lynn's whereabouts under martial law in the city.
They all worked so hard in order to obtain the branch of the Holy Spirit promised by Saint Laurent VI.
After a moment of silence, Tia, holding the scepter, said softly: "Not long ago, he just took the Moonlight Essence. Therefore, I, who have a very high affinity with the power of the Moon Goddess, can vaguely sense his approximate location."
"Right now, he's probably staying somewhere in the lower city, but we have to get closer to find out his exact location."
Hearing this, there was a hint of something strange in Louise's eyes.
He? Although it was just a name, the woman's sixth sense still kicked in.
Considering Tia's abnormal behavior in the past two days and the fact that she always talked about that guy, she had some bad guesses in her mind.
Thinking of this, she frowned, took a step forward and lowered her voice, "The bottle of moonlight liquid he took, it couldn't be..."
Before she finished speaking, the indifferent girl, who looked like a doll, suddenly changed her expression: "It has nothing to do with me, Louise. This kind of thing is not something you can joke about."
But I haven't said anything yet? Seeing this, Louise's suspicion became even stronger.
Noticing her friend's gaze, although her heart was in turmoil, Tia still took a deep breath.
Then, they took the oath with great seriousness and solemnity.
"No matter who the other party is, for the sake of the dead Sister Trina, I will definitely kill him with my own hands."
Even that guy is the same! Hearing this, Louise put aside her doubts for the time being and nodded: "Without further delay, let's go to the downtown area now."
