Chapter 220 How nice it would be if he were my subordinate?

Seeing that the blindfolded Lin En did not show any panic or fear, but instead calmly started to negotiate, Hillina, who was sitting at the desk, raised her eyebrows.

At this moment, she took off her flesh-colored stockings, put her smooth and beautiful feet in cotton slippers, and changed into a loose long skirt full of home style. Her whole posture seemed somewhat relaxed and comfortable.

It's calmer than expected.

But... The Tomb of Heremus?

Hilina picked up the cup, took a sip of hot coffee, and let the misty white fog cover her eyes.

This topic is currently a secret matter. Apart from Saint Laurent VI and the Imperial Parliament, only a few princes know the inside story. The entire project is monopolized by Silina, who is fully responsible for it.

It seems that it was Yvesette who told him the key inside information.

But, what good would it do to just know some inside information? Could it solve her urgent problem? Moreover, wasn't her original purpose to find out the truth hidden in this guy? How could he become the host after just a few words? Xilina was about to speak, but the long silence made Lin En think that she was sneering at his proposal.

"You don't believe me? You think I'm a slick swindler?"

Lynn said softly.

"As the culprit who kidnapped the Saint of Silence, you don't seem to be qualified to defend yourself."

Hilina replied with a hint of sarcasm in her voice.

Strange, what was I about to ask?

After coming to her senses, she suddenly realized that she had been led astray by the guy in front of her again, and she couldn't help but shook her head slightly.

But the night was still long, and she still had a lot of patience and could continue to play along with him.

In addition, there was actually a trap hidden in what she said.

Hillina knew very well that the young man in front of her was not the culprit who kidnapped the Saint of Silence.

The truth is actually the opposite. Tia was the one who took him on the journey of escape.

She has seen many people who claim to be young heroes in her life, but most of them are just superficial.

After all, men are like this. They will become complacent just because a beautiful woman talks to him for a few more words.

So when Hillina used this slightly disdainful tone to provoke him, she also had the intention of testing him.

If Lin En tried to distance himself from Tia in order to win her favor and said something like "I am actually the victim kidnapped by the Saint of Silence", then Hillina's impression of him would be particularly negative.

At the same time, he would have unprecedented doubts about Lynn's crime-taking that night.

Only someone with ulterior motives would behave in such an inconsistent manner.

Fortunately, the boy seemed to be stumped by this question. He was silent for a moment, then sighed softly.

Do you choose to hide the truth?

He is still a man.

Hillina pursed her lips, and her hostility towards Lin En decreased a little.

"I remember you were quite sharp-tongued when we first met. Why are you speechless now?"

She changed the posture of her long and beautiful legs and crossed them, revealing the scenery beneath her long skirt.

It’s a pity that the only man present was blindfolded and could not see such a beautiful scene.

"It's not that I can't speak, but I don't know how to respond. After all, with the relationship with Her Highness Ivester, you will never have complete trust in me no matter what."

"In this case, the transaction and cooperation between us can be based on precaution and vigilance." Lin En paused, then continued, "Of course, if you doubt my ability, then I also..."

"In just two months, you helped my useless sister get rid of the last place in the ranking, and even obtained 5,000 points of King's Choice score by yourself. Lynn Bartleron, if you don't have the ability, then I'm afraid no one in this world dares to say that they have the ability."

Unexpectedly, Hilina interrupted him.

At this moment, she looked him up and down with interest.

In fact, when she first heard about Lin En, she was full of disbelief.

After all, as one of the competitors, she knows best how difficult it is to obtain the Wangxuan score.

Even if the current incident of the Tomb of Heremus is handled well, the maximum score that can be obtained for the King's Choice is 2,000 points, which also includes the promise of Saint Laurent VI.

Under normal circumstances, gaining hundreds of points a month would be a good achievement.

Because of this, after knowing that Lin En's achievements were all made with real effort, she began to feel a little curious about him deep in her heart.

It's not the kind between men and women, but the desire of a leader for capable subordinates.

In fact, this is human nature.

Even when the second prince Felit saw Lin En for the first time at the border, he felt unprecedented excitement and wanted to take him from Ivester. Unfortunately, he did not get his wish in the end.

Regarding this, Hillelina had heard something about it.

In addition, she was well aware of Yvesette's morbid possessiveness, so she only thought about Lin En's belonging and never tried to extend an olive branch to him.

Seeing that he had taken the initiative to find her just now, one of the reasons why Hillina chose not to report the case might be because of the restlessness in her heart.

At this moment, she completely forgot her original intention.

Or maybe, after a brief exchange, she already had the answer in her mind as to whether Lin En was a limb transplant recipient.

It's not that he believed the young man in front of him so easily, it's just that he was too familiar with the dark methods of those noble insects.

After thinking this through, she decided to follow her inner decision.

"Tell me about it." The arch of Hilina's foot was slightly tense, with a graceful curve, and she gently shook the cotton slippers on her small feet. "What are the specific contents of the transaction you mentioned?"

Seeing that the other party finally showed a hint of interest, Lin En felt relieved and breathed a sigh of relief.

Things have progressed to this point, which means the probability of success is very high.

"To show my sincerity, let me first tell you about the rewards I can offer you." Lin En sat up straight and spoke in a serious voice, "I know your most urgent problem right now. It is nothing more than the mysterious mausoleum involving the ancient god of the First Epoch."

Ancient God?! When this word reached Silina's ears, she almost stood up from her seat.

This information about the mausoleum and the First Age was obtained after countless sacrifices made by the gravedigger team.

She thought she had taken it seriously enough, but she never expected that the words that came out of the boy's mouth at this moment would completely shock her.

You know, in the first era filled with darkness and chaos, there were many people who could be called gods.

Even many of them who are only at the sixth or seventh level today were given the title of "God" when the supernatural system was not clear.

However, there are not many who can truly be called "ancient gods".

Only from the few words handed down from ancient times can we vaguely catch a glimpse of a crazy and indescribable scene.

If the "ancient gods" were really involved in this, then the danger level of the whole thing would undoubtedly rise to several levels.

Hillina frowned deeply and looked at the boy in front of her with a scrutinizing gaze.

Was he exaggerating to raise his own value so that he could ask her for a reward later? How did this guy know such information? There was no way that the heir of a fallen noble family could be related to the First Epoch.

"This is impossible." After recovering from the shock, Hilina took a deep breath, "Judging from the extraordinary factors in the mausoleum, the beings buried inside are no more than level seven. Even if the factor of the passage of time is included..."

"During the incident in Orne City, no one thought that they would be facing a Level 0 Sealed Artifact involving a high-dimensional demon."

Lin En blocked Hillina with just one sentence.

Seeing that she still didn't believe it, the young man sighed and said, "Besides, before I deal with the Sealed Object riot, no one will believe that I can survive the hands of the two demons."

This sentence completely eliminated the other party's desire to make excuses.

yes.

This world is absurd to the extreme. Is there anything that is 100% impossible to happen?

The atmosphere fell into silence for a moment.

After a while, Hilina opened her pink lips and said, "No matter what, what you said is groundless. I have no reason to believe you, and I can't so easily tie the lives of my men to such information of unknown origin. You..."

"After this incident is over, I will personally accompany you to the tomb until we completely conquer it."

Lin En interrupted the other party again and spoke word by word in a tone that brooked no room for argument.

Hilina froze in place.

She didn't expect that the young man in front of her would have such courage.

Anyone who knows a little about the inside story knows how dangerous the Tomb of Heremus is.

If it weren't for the order from Saint Laurent VI, she would never have excavated this ancient site that could potentially bring disaster to the empire.

At the same time, I began to believe the information Lin En mentioned.

"But there is one thing I hope we can agree on."

Just then, Lin En changed the subject.

Xilina said: "You say."

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

"No matter what, please do not involve my Highness in this matter."

Lin En said in a decisive tone, as if this was some untouchable red line.

After all, the reason why he pretended to be a limb transplanter in the first place was to solve the case quickly, in exchange for the result that Yvesthe would not have to go to the Tomb of Heremus.

Hearing this, Xilina was stunned for a few seconds, then nodded: "I can promise you about this."

In fact, as early as the last dance, when she had a long-awaited night chat with Sister Yvestre, she had repeatedly hinted at the danger of the Tomb of Heremus.

After all, she still felt a little distressed for her sister and didn't want to see her in danger.

But she didn't expect that this guy's loyalty was far beyond her imagination.

After all, considering that there was a curse mark on Yvesette's face, he was still able to do this for her, which was enough to make people look at him with awe.

It's a pity that she is destined to be unable to ascend the throne, and all her efforts and attempts at this moment are in vain.

Thinking of this, Hillina calmed her mind without leaving a trace.

She was not that excited just because of Lynn's promise.

Now that we have talked about the rewards, the next thing to talk about is what she needs to pay.

Hilina looked at the boy in front of her with a scrutinizing gaze: "So, what do you want from me?"

Since it is a transaction, it should naturally be of equal weight.

She had thought that since it involved the Tomb of Heremus, would he make some excessive demands?

For example, completely calm the anger of the Imperial Parliament and completely clear his name.

Or, just run away, arrange a completely new identity for him, and live a superior life somewhere else.

To be honest, although these two requests are relatively simple compared to dealing with the Tomb of Heremus, even Shadow has not finalized the whole thing. It is just a verbal agreement on his part, and it is unclear whether he will regret it afterwards.

Of course, it was impossible for Hillina not to be on guard.

As he had said before, this transaction did not require trust and could be based entirely on vigilance and suspicion.

Hearing this, Lin En did not hesitate too much and directly stated his request.

"I need to borrow the sealed bell on your wrist." He said slowly, "Of course, you don't need to transfer the right to use it to me. All you need is for you to cooperate with me and give it a try."

This attempt is extremely important to Lin En, and even directly determines Tia's future.

To put it more immaturely, this may be his last ripple.

Days of running around and fighting had already exhausted Lin En physically and mentally, and now he was completely relying on the breath in his heart.

No one will be able to walk alongside him.

Even the witch lady chose to respond to him with cold violence after reading her past memories. It was obvious how angry she was about her own disobedience.

So, you only have one chance.

As mentioned before, the opponent is an unprecedented divine incarnation, and as always, he must bet his life to be qualified to step onto the poker table.

As for what the outcome will be, it remains unknown.

On the other hand, after hearing Lin En's condition, Hillina fell into a long silence.

Not because it’s impossible.

Quite the contrary.

Compared with the risks he would have to take afterwards, just borrowing his level 0 seal was a bit too easy a request.

It was so easy that she even felt like the other party was cheating.

However, the firmness and determination revealed in the boy's words made Hillina subconsciously deny this possibility.

Compared with Tia and Yvesette, she has a much better eye for people.

After a long silence, Xilina spoke again: "I agree to your request, but..."

"Before that, can you answer two questions for me?"

"You say."

Hillina straightened her back slightly, showing off her full and plump curves, and then said seriously: "First question. The condition you proposed should not be for yourself, right?"

Lin En hesitated for a moment, then chose to tell the truth: "Of course not."

"Tia?"

Hilina asked.

Lin En smiled silently: "That's the second question."

He didn't seem to want to answer the question.

But from his reaction, the truth of the matter is self-evident.

Hillina took a deep breath, and as if she wanted to get to know Lynn Bartler all over again, she looked at him carefully from head to toe, inch by inch.

In fact, she had discovered a clue just now.

This guy never seems to think about himself.

Even as for the transaction reward mentioned earlier, he never thought about whether his life would be in danger after going into the tomb. He just didn't want to involve Yvesette.

For some reason, Hillina suddenly felt a little envious.

I envy my third sister, who is at the bottom of the class, for being so lucky to have his loyalty.

I wish he was my subordinate.

In an instant, this thought suddenly came into my mind.

But the next second, Hillina shook her head vigorously to dispel it.

"Second question." In order to divert attention, she spoke again, "The sequence level of my seal is 0, which is the most dangerous level. So before that, I need to know your purpose for borrowing it."

Hearing this, a crazy and dangerous look suddenly flashed in Lin En's eyes under the black cloth.

"I want to awaken the demon in me."

(ps: It’s the end of the month, please give me some monthly tickets, folks.)
