Chapter 199 Goodbye Miss Witch (6k)
What Lin En hates most in his life is unexpected situations.
As someone who always plans everything to perfection in advance, he prefers the feeling of being in control.
In a sense, isn't this the arrogance of a time traveler?
For example, when he was released from the Substitute Punisher Prison, Yvesette's stubbornness aroused rebellion and anger in his heart.
Therefore, Lin En, who had originally planned to investigate the case through normal channels, took this risk.
It was a big gamble, and also a punishment for Yvesette for ruining his plan.
And now, something unexpected happened again.
According to her original idea, after waking up, he should have returned to the Bart Leon Manor.
Let's take a step back.
Even if he didn't return to the manor, he was mentally prepared to be thrown into prison again.
But the reality is not so.
Lynn was shocked to find that he seemed to be in a strange environment, neither a manor nor a prison, and even the woman lying next to him was not the Yvesette he had imagined.
None of the things I expected happened.
So when that cold voice mixed with a hint of shame and annoyance sounded in his ears, all the muscles in his body tensed up.
Fortunately, in the next second, Lin En identified the other person's identity through the voice.
".Viya?"
Lynn asked in a muffled voice, lifting his head slightly from her chest.
Feeling the hot breath unique to men spraying on her chest, Tia felt goose bumps all over her body.
She subconsciously wanted to push Lin En away, but when she thought about how the other person had struggled to wake up from the brink of death, she suddenly couldn't do it.
For a moment, Tia was in a dilemma.
Fortunately, the room was very dim at the moment, so the other party could not see the blush that was quietly appearing on her face.
It wasn't because of shyness. Well, a little bit, but it was more about physical discomfort.
This discomfort even made her subconsciously forget to refute and accept the name "Viya".
"It's me. You get up first."
"I, I can't move. (Really)"
“.”
After a moment, Lin En suddenly felt a pair of trembling little hands hugging his back, and then he sat up slightly, half-knelt on the bed, and helped him up in an extremely intimate and ambiguous posture.
At this moment, a hot breath gently sprayed on Tia's slender white neck, causing her body to tremble subconsciously and she almost let go.
A little sensitive.
What a nasty guy.
After a flurry of activity, Lin En, with the help of Tia, lay back down in his original position.
Tia, who was standing beside her, got out of bed without saying a word and held the Moonlight Scepter placed on the wall tightly in her hand.
The atmosphere fell into silence for a moment.
It is obvious that both sides are somewhat at a loss as to what to do with the current situation.
After hesitating for a moment, Lin En finally came back to his senses from the orchid fragrance lingering around his nose and looked around carefully.
This seemed to be a hotel room. The furnishings inside were extremely simple. Under normal circumstances, it was not the kind of room that two people of noble status would ever stay in.
Except for the migrant workers and mercenaries, most people may not be able to accept such an environment.
Since the soundproofing of the room was not very good, the two of them could even vaguely hear the noise coming from upstairs.
They were mercenaries who had lived here for a long time and were satisfying their lust on the cheap prostitutes.
It's totally normal under normal circumstances.
But it is particularly embarrassing right now.
With the dim moonlight, Lin En noticed that Tia, who was leaning on the bed, tilted her head to the side, and a hint of exquisite light pink appeared on her elf pointed ears hidden under her soft chestnut hair.
He couldn't help but take a deep breath.
calm.
Now it's time to sort out the situation.
According to the original development of the matter, after resolving the incident of Kusustein's arrival in the old factory, he would soon be picked up by Ivester who arrived late.
Given Her Royal Highness's character, after something like this happened, she would definitely stay by his side all the time.
She was merciful by not recreating the imprisonment play scene in Orne City.
So the current situation shouldn't be like this.
In other words, things started to go wrong from the moment they were "picked up by Yvesette who arrived late."
There is a high probability that he was captured before he even saw Her Royal Highness the Princess even after he fell into a coma.
And the person who arrested him was completely beyond his expectations.
It was actually Tia.
This was definitely not an order from the Church of Silence, and it was most likely the result of her own decision.
Did he mean that he had gone too far before? Thinking of this, Lin En, who had vaguely understood the cause and effect of the matter, sighed imperceptibly.
He looked at Tia's back with a complicated expression, opened his mouth, but couldn't say anything.
I was wrong.
After all, although this is a world created around a novel, the characters in it are not NPCs.
Each one is a self-aware, flesh-and-blood being.
But from the very beginning, I didn't regard her as a human being, but as an NPC that must be conquered as part of the mission.
Therefore, he combined all the existing intelligence analysis and took all actions that could disturb her heart.
Judging from the results, these actions have been very effective.
But he forgot one thing.
Tia is not a secondary heroine in a galgame, and the game does not end after she chooses all the correct options.
Let's take a step back.
Even in a galgame, there will be an epilogue after you successfully conquer the female character.
So he can only blame himself.
Lin En did not consider that, given Tia's character, after she developed strange emotions towards a strange man who was willing to sacrifice for her several times without hesitation, would she subconsciously do something out of the ordinary due to her long-suppressed spirit and personality.
For example, in order to prevent him from being put in danger, they went against the authorities regardless of the consequences and took him away from the scene, just to save his life.
Thinking of this, Lynn sighed imperceptibly.
Calm down, this is just a mission.
If it weren't for these people, the future witch lady wouldn't have ended up in such a miserable way.
We need to clearly distinguish who is the enemy and who is the friend.
Lynn tried to harden herself.
From the beginning to the end, the purpose was to gain Tia's trust, let her open her heart to him, and then use the Moment of Fall to transform her into an obedient puppet.
While rescuing Miss Witch from the chains of order, she can also vent her anger and revenge.
But the emotion lingering in his chest made him feel a little uncomfortable.
What exactly was that? He didn't know.
For a moment, Lin En, who used to do things efficiently and effectively, was unexpectedly caught up in some strange entanglement and self-reflection.
But Tia on the other side didn't know what he was thinking.
Why didn't he say a word? The few times they met before, he seemed to have endless things to say and kept staying close to me.
But keeping silent now made Tia feel a little at a loss.
Now, two full days have passed since the advent of Kushustan.
In the past two days, Tia has been taking the unconscious Lin En to the lower city to avoid pursuit and assassination from various forces.
The whole city is under martial law now, and it is extremely difficult to leave Grosstin. Even Tia is a little at a loss and can only take one step at a time.
Fortunately, Glostin is larger than one could imagine, and if she were determined to hide her tracks, even the church would not be able to track her down.
After all, Lin En actually killed a prince at that time.
His wanted posters are now posted all over the streets, and even his own image appears on the portraits.
In addition, from the pursuers who were dealt with in the past two days, we learned that the upper class of the entire Grosstin is currently divided into three major factions.
The first faction, led by Saint Laurent VI, wanted to capture him alive.
The second group was the nobles who wanted to erase Lynn's achievements and execute him on the spot for murder.
The third group is the fence-sitters who just want to watch the fun and not mind the trouble, or who have some hidden agenda and just want to muddy the waters.
Things are starting to get complicated.
Even Tia didn't expect that her momentary impulse would lead to such a series of consequences.
But surprisingly, when I had some free time these two days, I would stare at the unconscious guy from time to time, and I didn't feel any regret in my heart.
Occasionally she would think of brother Xia, but then she would be brought back to reality by Lin En, who was whimpering and having a nightmare, and she would take out a handkerchief to wipe the sweat from his forehead.
Fate is really amazing.
In fact, until now, she still couldn't figure out why she was so impulsive at that time.
Was it because of the guilt and indebtedness in her heart? Was it just because of this that she was willing to disregard her own safety and reputation, save a madman who murdered the prince, and "wander around the world" with him? Something seemed to be wrong.
However, the continuous rush of days had left her with no time to think about the current situation and the relationship between the two.
At this moment, Tia was extremely tired.
That's why she fell asleep beside him unconsciously just now.
Unexpectedly, even in the dream, the guy's figure still appeared before my eyes.
Now, Lin En finally woke up from his deep sleep, but Tia was a little overwhelmed.
Judging from the other person's expression, that guy didn't seem as happy as he thought.
Did I do something unnecessary? Thinking of this, Tia's face turned pale.
Fortunately, the next second, he sighed: "After doing something like this, have you ever thought about what you should do next?"
"After all, someone like me doesn't deserve you to do this."
Lynn seemed to be hinting at something.
However, Tia did not hear the hidden meaning of these words.
Is he thinking about me?
Thinking of this, the slight nervousness that had just emerged in Tia's heart disappeared instantly.
It seems that all the efforts of the past few days have paid off.
6◇9◇Book◇Bar
But even so, the relationship between the two was not cordial.
So she said calmly in a voice pretending to be indifferent: "I just want to feel at ease. This is not for you. Don't be so sentimental."
“But even so, I am very moved.”
“.”
Hearing this, Tia's small hand holding the Moonlight Scepter gradually tightened, and her pointed ears under her long hair trembled slightly without leaving a trace.
Fortunately, the dark environment concealed her momentary loss of composure.
After a long silence, she slowly stood up and walked towards the door without looking back: "I'll go out and take a look."
But then she seemed to feel that this sentence was a bit stiff, as if she didn't want to talk to him, which made the atmosphere a little cold.
What's more, that guy is still a patient at the moment.
Every time I get sick, I always feel a little insecure.
After thinking about it from her own perspective, Tia added in a slightly more relaxed tone: "I'll be back soon."
"good."
Watching her leaving back, Lin En lay quietly on the bed, the girl's delicate body fragrance still lingering at his nose.
After a moment, he began to try to communicate with the mark of God's Chosen One in his mind.
Recently, my communication with Miss Witch has been limited to parchment. The last time we met in the Pantheon was just after the Wishing Jar Riot.
It hasn't even been a month, but it feels like a long time.
Late at night, Tenli Church.
At this moment, in the center of the magnificent and grand hall, Cardinal Connor was standing in the endless star tracks cast in metal, looking down with an indifferent expression at the rising and setting of stars and the movement of the sun and the moon.
The statue behind him, symbolizing the Lord of billions of stars, is faintly glowing with brilliant starlight, mysterious and infinite.
After an unknown amount of time, the sudden footsteps disrupted the movement of the star track and awakened Bishop Connor from his meditation.
Looking at his subordinates who hurried over, his expression was very calm: "What's the matter?"
"Your Majesty, there is still no trace of Lynn Bartleron." The subordinate looked humble. "Also, the Imperial Parliament seems to have noticed something and ordered us to send more extraordinary people to join the search."
After all, Glostin is so vast that even the most insignificant lower city area covers an area as large as four cities of Orne.
Even if all the extraordinary people of the church were sent out, if special means were not used to eliminate them, the search would be like looking for a needle in a haystack.
Hearing this, Cardinal Connor smiled slightly and said, "Have those old foxes discovered it?"
"Yes, they seem to have noticed the church's inaction in hunting down Lynn Bartleron."
The subordinate nodded, but hesitated to speak.
"Are you also curious that Lin En has an irreconcilable conflict with the church, but I am not interested in hunting him down?"
"I am a little curious, Your Majesty."
Cardinal Connor slowly walked down the steps from the star track: "He is the enemy of the church, there is no doubt about that, and the speed of his growth is far beyond our expectations. The sooner we eradicate him, the less harm he will cause in the future."
"It's a pity that those old foxes in high positions are too stupid to understand one thing."
"What's up?"
"Although I don't know the reason, His Majesty seems to want to protect this kid. In this case, he will not die no matter what. At least he will not die in this matter."
"What's more, there's that little monster Ivester who's causing trouble. If she really starts making trouble without considering the consequences, it will bring a big disaster to Glostin."
Upon hearing this, the subordinate's face froze.
Fortunately, Bishop Connor continued quickly: "But from this incident, we can also see some clues."
"That kid seems to know the attitude of His Majesty towards him. Therefore, whether it was the two previous public executions of the heir of the Mosgra family, or the serious injury to Councillor Black and the killing of the Fourth Prince, he seemed a little unscrupulous."
"He is sure that we will eventually obey your Majesty's decision and there is nothing we can do to him."
"But I forgot that there is an old saying in the Saint Laurent Empire that things never happen more than three times."
"If the same thing happens a fourth time, even Your Majesty will not be able to save him."
After a moment of silence, the subordinate continued to ask, "So what the church has to do next is to wait for the fourth incident to happen?"
"No."
Bishop Connor smiled and shook his head.
At this moment, he was clearly smiling, but his face seemed expressionless.
Every time this happens, subordinates will feel a terrible pressure arising.
"If there is no opportunity, then create one. I understand the dangers of letting a tiger go back to the mountains. It would be even better if we can completely defeat him in one fell swoop."
"So, what should we do?"
"Those extraordinary people who survived the Tomb of the Dead are still being rescued?"
"Yes. Apart from the nuns from the Church of Silence, the others were either frightened unconscious by the limb grafters or are still in critical condition due to severe injuries."
"In other words, everything that happened that night is actually just the opinion of the Church of Silence?"
"That's right, Your Majesty."
Bishop Connor narrowed his eyes and was silent for a moment. Then he pointedly said, "Get rid of them."
Obviously, he was referring to those extraordinary people from various forces who were still unconscious.
The wounded are now being rescued intensively. It would be extremely easy to catch them all in one fell swoop. Perhaps it can be achieved with just a fire.
But the subordinates were stunned when they heard the order.
Noticing his confusion, Bishop Connor said calmly, "Just do it."
He didn't think of explaining anything, he just gave the order.
"But among those who survived, there are also extraordinary people from the church."
"Yes, I understand."
A simple and easy-to-understand answer made the other party instantly understand the meaning behind it.
I felt a little chilly for a moment.
However, as a subordinate, he had no right to oppose Bishop Connor and could only obey the order and leave.
Bishop Connor watched his subordinates leave without saying a word.
The reason for dealing with all the surviving extraordinary people was just to erase all traces of what happened that night.
As for the Holy Lady of the Church of Silence, she is currently missing and there is a high possibility that she is an accomplice in this incident, not to mention the confessions of those nuns?
From a legal perspective, the credibility is greatly reduced.
And once there are no witnesses, the truth of the matter depends on how they want the truth to be presented.
Not only him, but all the forces in the entire imperial capital that are hostile to Ivester will work together to make this happen.
Otherwise, once Lin En returns as a hero who prevents the devil from coming, the prestige of the Third Princess will be unprecedentedly enhanced, and even the ranking of the King's Choice will jump several places.
This is what they don't want to see.
Obviously, although he has only been out of nowhere for a short time, everyone has noticed how evil this boy Lin En is.
To promote a last-place princess to a level that made them all a little wary in a very short period of time.
If he had replaced him with a more normal candidate, wouldn't it be the case that by now, not only for the Tianli Church, but also for the nobles, getting rid of Lin En was an urgent matter.
But in Bishop Connor's opinion, the method he used was somewhat special.
The weakness that could actually kill him with one blow had actually been exposed long ago.
That was a scene that happened in the council hall a few days ago.
Because the young man was too aggressive, Bishop Connor did not choose to attack when he was at his most rampant. Instead, he took a step back, lay dormant, and waited for the right time to act.
Now, the opportunity has come.
The weakness is actually very simple.
After all, Lynn chose the most aggressive approach at the honors dinner in the Council Hall in order to cover up a certain accusation.
He could not explain how he had survived the two great demons at the Sauron Mountains.
One of the demons in particular happened to be the person involved in this incident.
The King of Evil and Cruelty, Kushustain.
The opponent was a high-dimensional demon that was comparable to a god, but the boy managed to escape from the opponent time and time again.
Maybe this is not the case actually, but no matter from which angle you look at it, Lynn Bartletleon is the one who is truly colluding with the devil.
And it is enough for me to just seize this point and attack.
On the border battlefield, the war with the demons is about to restart.
If someone attempts to disguise himself as a hero but is eventually revealed to be in the evil camp, he and Yvesette would not even need to be punished, as the people's curses would completely overwhelm them.
Thinking of this, Bishop Connor smiled slightly and waved his hand to restart the surrounding star tracks.
(ps: Don’t worry, there will be more in the evening and tomorrow at noon.) (End of this chapter)
