Chapter 98 Don't you guys underestimate me? (4.5k)

Lin En covered his dizzy head and squinted his eyes because of the sunlight outside the car window.

Feeling the faint bumps coming from the seat beneath him, he seemed to realize something.

I raised my head and looked around, and found myself in a luxurious compartment of a train.

At this moment, the carriage was empty.

Lin En was stunned for a few seconds, then he tried to take a deep breath, stood up from his chair, and staggered towards the door.

The moment he opened the door, someone in the carriage behind him seemed to have noticed him and walked towards him quickly.

"Master Lin En, are you awake?"

The voice of housekeeper Keisha came over.

"I'm on the train back to the capital?"

Lin En pinched his brows and looked at the other party with some confusion.

With Keisha's help, he walked into the second carriage with her.

Then I saw many familiar faces sitting on the seats in this carriage.

Some of them were servants who had worked at Augusta Manor before, and some were Yvesette's subordinates whom Lynn had met during dinner.

He usually had little interaction with these people, so after a brief eye contact, he only read a bit of respect and seriousness in their eyes.

"Master Lin En, I will rely on you for His Highness' affairs from now on."

Suddenly someone in the crowd raised his voice.

At the same time, everyone's eyes were focused on him with different thoughts, some agreeing, some confused and questioning.

Rely on me? Lin En still didn't understand the current situation.

But at this moment, countless broken memories flooded into his mind, making him suddenly recall everything that happened last night.

What's going on, this woman?

Looking at the train leading to freedom in front of him, Lin En did not feel as excited as he had imagined.

Looking at the housekeeper Keisha beside him, he frowned and said, "Ms. Keisha, what is going on now?"

Hearing this, the elderly housekeeper closed her eyes and then motioned for him to sit in the seat next to her.

After waiting for the two to sit down, Lynn did not wait for Keisha's explanation.

Instead, I saw her suddenly handing me a thick stack of papers.

"This is Her Highness's deposit slip at the Glostin Central Bank. It is her private savings that she has saved over the years for you to use while you stay in the imperial capital."

As she spoke, Keisha handed over a thin booklet.

Written on it was the woman's flamboyant and flamboyant signature: Yvesette Roland Alexini.

Lynn subconsciously took the booklet.

But for some reason, my mind suddenly recalled her sad and gentle appearance under the moonlight last night.

"this"

Lynn was about to ask something but was interrupted by Keisha.

"These are the property contracts of His Highness in the Imperial Capital. If you return to the Imperial Capital and have no place to live due to the influence of the Mosgra family, you can temporarily live in His Highness's mansion. This way, they will not make things difficult for you openly."

"This records the connections that can be used when necessary. Although there are not many, they are the result of your highness's hard work accumulated over the years."

"There are a few more, yes"

"Wait a minute!"

Lin En finally couldn't stand it anymore and stopped the other party.

He looked at the documents in his hands and felt his heart filled with absurd emotions.

"What exactly does this mean?" Lin En frowned deeply. "Why do you make it sound like you are entrusting someone with your life before death?"

"Besides, she has so many subordinates, why would she give this kind of thing to me?"

At this moment, he just felt a little overwhelmed.

The sudden heavy responsibility weighed on him, making him feel a little overwhelmed.

Hearing this, the housekeeper Kesha glanced at him, then said expressionlessly: "Master Lin En should have understood the specific content of His Highness' temporary mission this time, right?"

"yes."

He nodded.

Yvesette had explained to him last night that this was to complete a temporary mission assigned by Saint Laurent VI, which was to deal with an unknown sealed object.

However, she did not tell him the specific information about the sealed object at that time.

Then Kesha suddenly handed over a piece of paper: "This is the specific information of the seal that Your Highness needs to deal with this time."

Lynn took the paper and scanned it carefully.

But after seeing the name of the seal, he didn't know what he was thinking about, and his face suddenly became very bad.

[Item Name: Wishing Jar]

[Item Number: Not Yet Contained]

[Sequence Level: Unknown]

[Specific origin: A mysterious sealed object passed down from generation to generation by the Creation Sect, unknown to the outside world.]

[Effect Description: Can fulfill any three wishes of the wisher, but will realize them in the worst way.]

[Containment suggestions: It is recommended that containment personnel understand the specific characteristics before taking action. ]

Is this the ultimate goal of that woman's mission? For some reason, Lin En's hands began to tremble slightly.

However, Kaisha didn't seem to notice that he was not right at the moment, and just said to herself: "As you can see, although the sequence level is unknown, the information given by His Majesty is probably between level 2 and level 1, and the highest will not exceed level 1."

"Based on this situation, Your Highness estimates that he will sleep for about four months to half a year."

"This is a critical time for the king's selection. It's almost the autumn hunting season in the imperial capital. She doesn't want to waste this opportunity."

"So His Highness decided to send some of his subordinates who were not good at fighting to the imperial capital first to prepare the situation in advance."

"And you are the person Her Highness trusts the most, so she will hand these people over to you."

"What did you say?"

Lynn suddenly raised his head and looked at Keisha in a somewhat ridiculous manner.

"You are the person His Highness trusts the most." Kesha had a blank expression, as if she was just stating a fact. "You don't have to doubt this."

"Because this is what His Highness told me last night."

“.”

Lin En suddenly clenched the sealed report in his hand and hammered the table hard.

Trust me? Are you kidding me? I've been wanting to escape from you, a stupid, perverted, crazy woman, all along. I've been thinking about you day and night, and I can't sleep! And now you do this to me? !

And do you know what the sealed object actually represents? Recalling the relevant plot of the original novel, Lin En finally figured out all the key points.

Why did the villain princess disappear for nearly two hundred chapters after leaving the imperial capital, and only appear at the climax of the King's Selection - when the Second Prince and others were defeated?

According to the time span, nearly a year had passed! He finally understood why Miss Witch said so many specious words when she left the Pantheon last time.

Not only did she ask him for the specific date of the current time node, but she also asked him to seize the only opportunity in her life to show her mercy and return to the capital early.

Finally, he was asked to send a message to Afiya and the others.

He felt something was wrong at the time, but due to the lack of key information, he could not guess the truth.

After all, Lin En, who is familiar with the original work, trusts the strength of this ultimate villain even more than she does herself.

So from beginning to end, he never thought of the worst.

But after seeing the name of this seal, Lin En understood everything instantly.

That idiot Saint Laurent VI actually gave out false information.

Because this wishing jar is not a level 2 or 1 sealed item, but a level 0! A genuine level 0!!! Not only that, there is also an extremely terrifying demon living in the jar. Although it is not in its complete form, it is definitely a very troublesome existence!

In the original novel, the male protagonist and others were even forced into a desperate situation, and the crisis was finally resolved through the descent of God. Otherwise, half of the Saint Laurent Empire would probably have fallen.

From this plot, we can know that Ivester's mission this time is doomed to fail.

Not only that, but she also caused the deaths of all her subordinates around her, and even she herself fell into a very long sleep.

After waking up, his temperament changed drastically, and he even became deformed to a certain extent, which led to the plot of chaos in the imperial capital. In the end, he was defeated by the protagonists and imprisoned in the Dead Water Prison in the Far North.

If everything develops according to the original plot, this is how it should be.

Isn't this a complete tragedy? Lin En's face was uncertain, and no one knew what he was thinking.

Seeing that he suddenly fell silent, Kesha didn't say anything, but took out two more things.

"This is what Afia asked me to give you." Kesha placed the item in front of him. "She clearly rejected you, but she still accepted the gift. Your Highness has already taught her a lesson about this."

Looking at the small princess shoes on the table that had been well cared for and looked like brand new, Lin En was stunned.

Then, another letter was placed in front of him.

"Master Graya asked me to give this to you."

Lin En subconsciously took the letter and read it carefully.

There is actually only one sentence above.

"His Highness said that anyone who comes in person for this mission will be rewarded by His Majesty, which can be considered as a free military achievement! Hehe, as for you, when you go to the imperial capital, don't forget your buddies, and wait for my uncle Graya to return triumphantly!"

I have never seen such a standard death flag in my life.

Besides, you're not even a superhuman, so what's the point of keeping talking about the past?

Lin En subconsciously wanted to complain, but found that he was not in the mood.

Graya was one of the few friends he had since coming to this world, but he didn't expect that he would be inexplicably involved in such a thing.

After all, apart from him, no one has a future perspective and has no idea what will happen after that.

Seeing Lin En in a daze, Kesha finally said, "Master Lin En, you seem to be feeling unwell?"

6◇9◇Book◇Bar

“Oh, it’s okay.” Lin En shook his head subconsciously and looked at the pair of princess shoes. “This is the first time in my life that I have received a pair of original shoes worn by a beautiful girl. I am a little excited.”

“.”

Kesha remained silent.

"By the way, is there a bathroom here?"

Lin En suddenly stood up unsteadily and asked casually.

I don’t know if it’s because the effect of the drug has not worn off or if it’s due to some other reason.

After Keisha showed him the way, Lynn ran into the bathroom as if escaping.

He turned on the faucet, scooped up a handful of water and splashed it on his face, trying to wake himself up.

Looking at the black-haired boy with a wet face in the mirror, Lynn took a deep breath.

"I'm glad," he said suddenly, "I'm glad I escaped from that woman."

lie.

This is a lie!

Since he did not lie to himself but just expressed an idea, the Liar Eater's ability to identify lies was instantly activated.

lie?

How is that possible?

Lin En looked at the boy in the mirror and found that his complexion was actually a little bad.

He was now somewhat confused about the relationship between himself and that woman, and what he was thinking deep down.

My mind is in a mess.

Therefore, the real answer can only be found through this method of self-verification.

"I"

Lin En wanted to ask something, but the words that came to his mouth became unclear in an instant due to the residual effect of the anesthetic.

What did I want to ask?

He tried to relax, but he just couldn't catch the inspiration in his heart.

“Bang!”

Lynn suddenly slapped herself hard.

I remember.

What just echoed in my heart was actually a sentence.

An insignificant conversation that I once had with Melanie.

At that time, he asked Melanie what was the deepest emotion in the world.

Melanie answered him with a smile, it was regret.

That's right.

The deepest emotion in the world is not anger or despair, but regret.

Time cannot be reversed. No matter what decision you make now, you will move forward on the path you have chosen without any chance to look back.

And those emotions that will become more lasting under the erosion of a long time are regrets.

Regret why I made the wrong decision at that time.

"If I just walk away like this today, I will definitely regret it in the future."

This is the truth.

The Lie Eater responded.

Why? Lynn was very confused.

His heart was filled with countless chaotic emotions, making it difficult for him to sort them out.

However, time is running out right now, and it is not the right time to think about such things.

So, he decided not to think about it any more.

Put your trust completely in the liar in front of you.

At the same time, Lynn once again caught the intense emotion that permeated his chest.

"I'm very angry now."

This is the truth.

Lin En subconsciously recalled the day in the Pantheon when the witch told him to leave Orne City.

And the silent tears that slid across Yviste's eyes last night.

He seemed to understand something.

Everyone thought of him from the perspective of the weakest person in this incident.

Let’s not talk about Her Royal Highness the Princess for now.

But what about Miss Witch?

He looked like he had completely given up resistance, thinking that he could do nothing and was powerless to change anything, so they tacitly agreed to save his life, let him escape back to the imperial capital, and retain some manpower.

As for what kind of painful ending she will encounter, it seems not important at all.

The overall situation is important?

Accumulate strength and seek a brighter future?

This may be the correct and rational choice.

But it was not a choice based on his own wishes.

Everyone overlooked one thing.

"Miss Witch, and Your Highness the Princess, you guys are underestimating me too much, aren't you?"

Lynn took a deep breath.

At this moment, he seemed to have returned to his usual calm self.

Moreover, with his personality, how could he miss such a big event that could earn him a lot of points and change the key points of history? "Lynn Bartleron, you will reverse this."

Looking at the black-haired boy in the mirror, Lynn spoke word by word.

Is this a lie? This is what my subconscious mind seemed to be thinking.

"No, it's a promise."

"Because I have already promised Miss Witch that I will please her."

"Whether it's her now or her future self, it's the same."

"Ms. Kaisha, something terrible has happened!!!"

A subordinate suddenly ran over in a hurry.

"What's up?"

The housekeeper who was drinking tea said lightly.

"Master Lin En. Master Lin En jumped out of the bathroom window and escaped!!!"

This news was like a bolt from the blue, causing everyone present to panic for a moment.

Only Kesha sat in her seat very calmly.

"I understand. Also, go inform the conductor that the train can proceed at full speed."
