Chapter 68 The Third Hypnosis (4k large chapter)

After leaving the Tirvus mansion, Moser wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and walked quickly towards the carriage with the help of his men.

What a bunch of lunatics! Until now, he was still immersed in the atmosphere just now, unable to extricate himself for a long time.

First, he barely escaped from the crazy woman, and then he saw members of the Mosgra family who were on good terms with the Tenli Church facing death threats and being killed on the spot by that lunatic.

In the end, Duke Tyrvus took action himself, but he was unable to do anything to the other party! The rumored third princess was actually this strong? !

Could it be...For a moment, Moselle's face was gloomy.

After returning to the carriage, he felt a little relieved.

Feeling the wheels slowly turning, Moselle felt mixed emotions.

"Your Excellency the Bishop, does Duke Tyrus need anything?"

"He has rejected our overtures and wants to take all the cake, but this is impossible." Moser gritted his teeth, "From now on, the only way for us is to fight to the death."

"Damn Tyrvus!!!"

Moselle thumped the carriage hard.

Seeing this, the subordinates were silent and dared not say a word.

It was not until a long time later that Moser's emotions stabilized a little.

"Tell the people in the church to be on the lookout." He stared at the street lights just outside the window. "They'll probably be keeping a close eye on us soon, and they'll find the right opportunity to take a bite out of us."

"Don't let them find the opportunity."

"yes!"

Led by the maid, Lynn walked in the direction where Duke Tyrus had left.

A moment later, accompanied by the familiar scent of roses, he felt a figure appear beside him.

“Why were you so impulsive just now?” She didn’t look at Lin En, but stared calmly ahead. “I’ve said it before, I will avenge you.”

Lin En shook his head: "It wasn't impulsive. On the contrary, I was extremely rational at the time."

Just by provoking him in such an extremely stupid way, did you expect him to get excited?

It's impossible.

Hearing this, Yvesette frowned slightly: "What's the reason?"

"Of course it's for you." Lin En glanced at her, and found that the woman was actually taller than him after putting on high heels. He was immediately frustrated. "I think Your Highness should know what the Mosgra family's sending someone here means."

"If you let him get in touch with Duke Tyrvus first, you will have no chance of winning."

"After all, you should be able to guess how generous a price they can offer to win him over."

"So the only way out just now was to kill Dallion on the spot, and then win the friendship and respect of Duke Tyrvus before the Second Prince sent someone over again."

“By then, the Duke and His Royal Highness will join forces, and even the Mosgra family will not get entangled too much for a mere heir.”

As for the murderer Lin En, he believed that Yvesette would not give up on him.

But under pressure, he could easily stage a fake death scene to replace the prince with a cat.

And after this, Lynn can completely retreat behind the scenes.

This also provided more convenience for his escape plan, killing two birds with one stone.

It’s a pity that Yves Sainte didn’t know what he was thinking at the moment.

Seeing this, Lin En thought she was still worried, so she comforted her: "Your Highness, don't worry. Before doing this, I have considered all the consequences."

"That's not what I wanted to say." Ivester seemed to be hesitant to speak, but because her face was covered by the mask, her expression could not be seen clearly. "Forget it, let's talk about it later."

Strange woman.

Although Lin En was confused, he didn't dare to ask further.

"You two, we're here."

After bringing the two men to the door of Duke Tyrus' study, the servant left.

Yvesette pushed the door open and walked in.

At this moment, the Duke, who had been well-dressed just now, took off his military jacket at some point, held a pipe in his mouth, and began to smoke.

When he saw the two of them walk into the study, a complex emotion suddenly flashed across his eyes.

But on the surface he remained calm.

The atmosphere fell into silence for a moment.

After a while, he said calmly, "Do you think you can drag me onto your pirate ship by this means?"

"Of course not." Lin En shook his head. "In fact, if Mr. Duke wanted to distance himself from us, it would be very easy. After all, there were so many eyes that witnessed the whole process tonight."

Duke Tyrvus was puzzled: "Then why do you want to take such a risk?"

"I want to get an opportunity for His Highness."

"An opportunity?" Duke Tyrvus chewed on this sentence, then laughed, "But why do I feel that Your Highness doesn't seem to want this opportunity?"

Looking at the cold gaze from Ivester, Duke Tyrvus shook his head.

"If what happened tonight is considered a test, Your Highness, do you know what kind of evaluation you will get?"

"Full marks."

Yvesette answered without hesitation.

"Zero points!" Duke Tyrvus suddenly slammed the table. "I have never seen any candidate for the King's Election do something as outrageous as you!"

"In my opinion, you don't want to be the emperor at all, and you don't have the ambition to do so!"

"Did you just want to kill all the people here who look down on you? Huh?"

"I tell you, if you dare to kill someone at the dinner party today, you will dare to push the people of the empire into an abyss of no return tomorrow!"

"Such a foolish act is not only for me, I am afraid that no smart person in this world will choose to support and assist you!"

Duke Tyreus seemed angry at the man for not fighting back and spoke a lot.

Then, as if he suddenly remembered something, he glanced at Lin En who was pretending to be a quail beside him and sneered: "Of course, except you."

"Uh, thanks for the compliment?"

Lynn didn't know what to say in response, so she could only answer dryly.

In his opinion, Duke Tyreus's anger was actually a good thing.

If you really take a businesslike attitude, it will be difficult to deal with them.

But his relationship with Yvesette doesn't seem as strange as imagined?

Noticing his puzzled look, Duke Tyrvus took a puff of his cigarette and said, "Your Highness's mother and I are childhood sweethearts."

Oh shit.

This melon is really crispy, fragrant and sweet.

Lin En's expression was a little tense, so he had to change the subject abruptly: "By the way, Mr. Duke, I saw you seemed to use the gravity ability of the Tianli Church just now?"

"That's right." Duke Tyrvus did not hide it. "I am a non-believer. I was one of the first to receive the transplant of the divine gene more than ten years ago, and I did not experience any strong rejection."

As he said this, he clenched his fist.

Faithless? Lin En couldn't help but think of the setting of the dust-eating person in the original book, and suddenly he understood.

Speaking of which, strictly speaking, Her Royal Highness the Princess is also an atheist and does not believe in any god.

It’s just that the source of her power is different from that of others, it’s more strange and secretive.

Even the original book did not mention much about it. We only know that it is related to an ancient and terrifying existence in the Chaos Era.

After all, she is not the protagonist, so there is very little description of her.

It seems that the secret has to be revealed by him personally.

Lynn thought silently.

Looking at the two silent people, Duke Tyrvus suddenly said, "Okay, let's get back to the topic."

"I know exactly why you two came here tonight to make such a scene."

"But let's be honest. My friendship with your mother has nothing to do with this." He said calmly, "To be honest, I don't think highly of you. For the sake of the Tyrvus family, I will not board a ship that is destined to capsize."

"In comparison, the second prince is the one most likely to ascend the throne."

Hearing this, Iviste's expression, which had finally relaxed a little, turned cold again.

It was just because of the other person's identity that he didn't get angry.

"Unless you can come up with a bargaining chip that can impress me." Duke Tyrvus changed the subject and said, "We are both adults. We should understand that interests are everything."

"Tell me, compared to the Mosgra family and the Second Prince, what can you bring to me?"

His eyes rested on Lynn.

Even Yvestre raised her eyes and looked at him with a strange look.

No, why are you all looking at me? Lin En was upset, but still answered honestly: "We can let you earn money while standing."

These words left Duke Tyreus silent.

“You made money standing there?”

He repeated this sentence.

"You mean, I'm now a beggar on my knees?" Duke Tyrvus felt it was absurd. "Boy, explain clearly, or I'll make you pay."

Hearing this, Lin En chuckled: "Whether you are kneeling down to beg for food or not, you should know it in your heart."

"Taxation is the foundation of a country's operation and its main source of finance. What these parasites in Orne City have done is equivalent to cutting off the economic lifeline of the empire. This may be a bit exaggerated, but it is true in nature."

Duke Tyreus subconsciously picked up his pipe and continued to puff away smoke.

Lin En continued, "You came here to collect taxes, so you should have no problem going there. But what happened? You were blocked at every turn by the local nobles and the church."

"This should have been a natural thing to do, but now it seems like you are making things difficult for them, and you even have to hold a charity gala to test their opinion."

"If they didn't have the tacit approval of the great nobles and the top leaders of several major churches, they wouldn't be able to do this."

"But you can't do anything to them. You can only let them share the cake and give you a share as well."

"Do you think this is a beggar on his knees?"

Duke Tyrvus's expression became serious, and he subconsciously wanted to refute: "How could I not have it?"

"If you could do it, you would have sent your army to wipe them out long ago." Lin En interrupted him, "It's not that you are weak, but the people behind the scenes are too powerful when they band together."

These words made Duke Tyreus fall into complete silence.

Even he had to admit that what the boy said did make some sense.

Since coming to Orne City, he has been bullied everywhere.

Not only that, his men also encountered extremely strong obstacles in several other neighboring border cities.

Do I really have to kneel down and beg for food?

No, it's not possible.

Duke Tyreus subconsciously rejected this idea.

When it comes to tax collection, he is considered to be the spokesperson for Saint Laurent VI.

If you choose to give in, it is equivalent to acknowledging that the imperial power is weaker than the aristocracy.

This is why, after what happened tonight, Duke Tyrvus did not get so angry that he lost his mind. Instead, he took Lynn and Yvesette to his study to start a follow-up conversation.

If he really accepted the conditions of the Mosgra family and colluded with the Tianli Church, he would never be able to calm down the anger in his heart, nor would he be able to explain to His Majesty.

For a moment, Duke Tyreus's expression was uncertain.

"I can issue a military order." Seeing that the atmosphere was right, Lin En struck while the iron was hot and threw out the next explosive point, "Ten days, within ten days, you will not only be able to stand, but also make a lot of money."

"If you can't do it, you will be punished by military law!"

Looking at his attentive appearance at this moment, a hint of doubt flashed in Ivisette's eyes.

She didn't know that this was actually an order given to Lin by the future Witch of the End, requiring him to weaken the faith of the Tenli Church.

But seeing him busying around with his own affairs, this feeling is not unpleasant.

Yvesette thought silently.

"You said so yourself."

After a long silence, Duke Tyrus suddenly snorted coldly.

"Of course, I always keep my word."

Seeing his expression, Lin En finally felt relieved.

The first step has been achieved.

Next comes the second step.

While thinking about the plan that had already formed in his mind, Lin En fell into deep thought.

"Okay, now that we have reached a preliminary agreement, you can leave now." Duke Tyrvus suddenly waved his hand and said impatiently, "I still have something to say to Your Highness."

It's not my friend, you are killing me after I've done my job?! Lin En came to his senses and was stunned.

But sensing Ivester's eye signal, he didn't say much. He could only look at Duke Tyrvus with a little displeasure, and then left the study.

The room fell silent again.

After Lin En left, Duke Tyrvus's previous expression completely disappeared, replaced by an unprecedented solemnity.

After discussing personal matters, it’s time to talk about business.

"Regarding the sealed object that Your Majesty mentioned earlier, my men seem to have found the place where the Creation School hid it."

"It's just that the current state of that thing is a bit strange."

Hearing this, Ivisette's pupils shrank.

After many days, she heard news about the sealed object again.

And this is the real reason why she came to Orne City.

Back in the carriage, Lynn stared at the scene outside the window boredly.

Although they were somewhat curious about what Duke Tyrvus wanted to say to His Highness, they did not seem to want him to know.

A few minutes later, as the carriage door was pushed open, the familiar scent of roses immediately lingered around my nose.

After a brief conversation, Yvesette returned to the carriage with a heavy heart.

Seeing that she seemed to be in a bad mood, Lin En didn't want to offend her, so he could only sit quietly aside.

But sometimes, the more you don't want to encounter things, the more likely they are to find you.

"look up."

Suddenly, Yvesette's cold and pleasant voice reached Lynn's ears.

He did it subconsciously.

Then, he saw the woman's palm flashing with green light, and pointed the mind's eye mark at him.

Oh no.

These two pictures together have 7,000 words, and there is also a thank you note for publishing them. I hope everyone will take a look at them. It is a good opportunity for me to tell you what is in my heart.
