Chapter 259 Klaus's Backhand
Chapter 259
Even Evelin had not anticipated Karen's sudden attack.
She had indeed intended to use Linn as a shield to temporarily deal with Karen, the successor of the Sky Wings, the troublesome guy who had been coveting her for a long time and pursuing her relentlessly.
But she never expected that the other party would attack Lin En directly in front of her without any scruples!
Even when she was at the Quetzalcoatl headquarters, she remained polite and restrained towards Karen, that was only because they were not far from the real body of the Sky Wing at that time.
If the Lord of the Sky were to come, he would be able to easily crush her, a half-step feathered serpent god.
But now, they are in the Principality of Cuilan, far away from the headquarters of the Quetzalcoatl and far away from the divine domain of the Sky-Winged One himself.
From a geographical point of view, this place is closer to the sphere of influence of the Ichthyosaur Emperor.
In this situation, Karen still dares to ignore her existence? !
Evelin’s expression suddenly turned cold.
The beautiful face that was originally smiling and slightly shy was now covered with frost, and instantly became as cold as a blade.
"Sir Karen, what do you want to do?"
She parted her red lips and spoke in a cold tone, carrying a terrifying pressure that was a mixture of anger and coldness, like a sudden and extremely cold snowstorm that enveloped the entire square in an instant!
Before she finished her words, a burst of light suddenly appeared behind her.
A holy and solemn platinum light shot up into the sky, and a huge feathered serpent with spread wings, covered with snow feathers and two horns on its head appeared in the air!
The half-step Quetzalcoatl appears!
A warm holy light flows throughout its body, but within that holy light lies a murderous force comparable to thunder, as if justice and destruction coexist!
Pale golden lines emerged from between the scales of Quetzalcoatl. Although it was not a true golden totem, it had already stepped into the golden threshold, exuding a suffocating sense of oppression.
As soon as it appeared, almost all the alchemists in the square were forced to bow their heads by this power.
Even the black-gold eagle that was swooping down with murderous intent was bathed in the holy light, its body shook, its wings trembled slightly, and its movements froze in an instant!
The dive that was originally like a black blade cutting through the air and as powerful as thunder was forcibly suppressed in the air!
It wailed in the air, as if it was instinctively afraid of the life form from a higher level.
Even though he was hailed as one of the totems with the greatest hope of evolving into wings that could hold the sky, he could only bow down before the bloodline of Quetzalcoatl!
"What happened? Did it...did it stop?"
"Is that... Quetzalcoatl? No, that totem is not complete yet... Half-step Quetzalcoatl?"
The nobles and alchemists around cried out in shock, and many of them were trembling all over from the pressure of Quetzalcoatl. Even if they were not the target of attack, they were still shaken.
And Lin En was still standing there at this moment, not moving at all.
He quietly watched the totems fighting in the sky, his eyes calm.
And Evelin's pair of slender legs took a half step forward to protect Lin En.
Her tone was as cold as ice:
"Karen, I can tolerate your obsession, but I cannot tolerate your provocation of my dignity."
"If you do it again next time, I won't give you face anymore."
Her voice was clear and pierced the eardrums of everyone present, like a sharp sword piercing Karen's self-esteem.
At that moment, everyone even heard the black-gold eagle trembling slightly in the air, and it didn't dare to move forward another step!
Karen's handsome face suddenly froze at this moment, his facial features seemed to be pulled tight by a cold wind, and deep in his eyes, there was an extremely strong murderous intent.
It was a rage that was almost crazy!
If looks could kill, then Lynn would have died hundreds or thousands of times by now.
However, facing this gaze that was enough to burn the soul, Lin En just smiled faintly.
The corners of his mouth were slightly raised, his expression was calm, and there was even a hint of... provocation in his eyes.
It was as if he didn't take Karen seriously at all.
Not only that, he went even further.
Lin En’s eyes slowly passed over Evelin, who was shrouded in the holy feather light.
That delicate body illuminated by the holy light should have been as holy and inviolable as an angel. However, in his eyes, that slender waist, those long legs, and those looming curves were extremely tempting, like a witch falling from the altar, extremely tempting.
The next moment, everyone was watching in shock.
Lin En took a step forward, stretched out his hand directly, and grasped Evelin’s slender waist, holding her in his arms without any concealment.
This action was like a thunderous explosion, shocking the entire square into silence!
Even Evelin obviously didn’t expect Lynn to do this in such a tense situation.
Her delicate body trembled slightly, and her cheeks immediately turned red. An uncontrollable glow quickly spread to her ears, and a layer of light pink appeared on her fair skin.
"hiss……"
In the square, a series of gasps were heard.
Many alchemists even lowered their heads subconsciously, not daring to look directly at this shocking scene.
"Crazy, he's crazy..."
Someone murmured in his heart.
In front of whom?!
That was Karen! The master of the Black Gold Eagle, the successor of the Sky-lifting Wings! The man who was destined to be one of the top three alchemists in the future!
And Lin En not only provoked in public, but also openly took his “woman” into his arms, and even in front of everyone’s eyes, his fingers gently wandered on Evelin’s jade-like skin, wantonly and wanton.
At this moment, Karen's face was completely distorted.
His fists were clenched tightly and made crackling sounds, his eyes seemed to be spitting fire, and his whole body was like a lit powder keg, about to explode at the slightest moment!
But in the end... he didn't do it.
Because Evelyn was still there.
The half-step feathered serpent was still floating in the sky, its wings spread lightly, and the holy light had not dissipated.
He knew that if he acted again, even if he was the heir of the Sky Wings, it would only be in the future, and he would ultimately be no match for Evelyn.
After a long moment, Karen turned around abruptly without saying a word.
The next second, he leaped high into the sky, the black-gold eagle let out a hoarse and shrill cry, flapped its wings, and carried him into the sky like a black meteor!
Before leaving, Karen looked back at Lin En coldly, her voice as low and vicious as ice:
"You lowly silver alchemist, if you have the guts... you can just hide behind a woman your whole life."
"If you dare to leave her even a step, I, Karen, will kill you!"
As soon as the words fell, the black-gold eagle flew into the sky and disappeared into the sea of clouds in the sky.
This confrontation has come to an end temporarily.
But his departure did not take away the tense atmosphere at the scene.
Countless nobles and alchemists stood there in silence with complicated expressions.
Although Karen's last words were harsh, his attitude of retreating in the face of danger... seemed a bit embarrassing, which made people secretly sneer at him.
However, even so, no one dared to underestimate the successor of the Wings of the Sky.
On the contrary, more people set their eyes on Lin En, with deep worry and fear in their eyes.
"I'm afraid this Viscount Leighton will... be in big trouble in the future."
"If I offend the successor of Sky Wings, how will I live in the future?"
However, the next moment, their thoughts paused again.
After all, in his arms was the Quetzalcoatl.
If you can really hold on to the thigh of this peerless beauty, the half-step feathered serpent, what does it matter even if you face the wings that hold up the sky?
………………………………
Although Karen's farce has ended, the storm is not over yet.
At this moment, in the villa with the highest specifications and the most prominent status symbol in Reiner City.
Lynn and Evelyn were alone, but there was a subtle scent in the air.
The villa is quiet and luxurious, and the reliefs on the corners of the walls cast mottled light and shadows in the flickering candlelight.
Lin En sat on the luxurious red sandalwood chair, looking calm and composed, while Evelin opposite her had long lost the charm and composure she had shown in the square.
She changed her clothes into a high-necked dark purple aristocratic dress that completely covered her originally faintly visible fair skin, leaving even her wrists uncovered.
The pair of beautiful eyes that once exuded charm and majesty in the holy light now stared at Lin En coldly with a bit of vigilance and alertness.
There were two words clearly written in her eyes: judgment.
Lin En didn't seem to be nervous at all. Instead, he stretched and said in a relaxed tone:
"Lord Quetzalcoatl, you said it yourself... 'I am yours.' Besides, my 'performance' in front of everyone was in perfect accordance with your script. Karen was so angry that she went crazy without even caring about the situation and left in disgrace."
He spread his hands, his tone was three parts rogue and seven parts teasing.
"Are you... starting to regret it now?"
Evelin bit her silver teeth lightly, her pearly teeth tightly clenched, as if she was going to eat the daring man in front of her alive in the next moment.
She naturally knew that what Lin En said was right. "Arm and shoulder to shoulder" in public was indeed embarrassing Karen, and the effect was indeed achieved, even exceeding expectations.
But...she never expected that this damn guy would be so presumptuous!
Hugging her in public, hugging her, and even holding her hands dishonestly...
Thinking of this, even though she was a half-step Quetzalcoatl, a trace of visible embarrassment emerged on her icy face.
At that moment, she was not Lord Quetzalcoatl, but a woman who was truly touched by a man for the first time.
This was the real reason why she couldn't open her mouth to blame Lin En.
Because she knew that Lin En was not only acting for her, but he also paid a huge price for it.
Once Karen has targeted him, he will surely face murderous intent from the successor of the Sky Wings in the future.
Even if she successfully entered the realm of Golden Alchemist in the future and truly awakened the power of Quetzalcoatl, she would not be able to stop Karen's true anger that would erupt that day.
There was a long silence.
Evelin lowered her eyes slightly and exhaled gently, and when she raised her eyes again, she was no longer the high and mighty goddess, but a woman with some complicated emotions.
She stared at Lin En for several seconds, and finally spoke. Her voice was low and slow, but with a hint of imperceptible tenderness:
"Well, Lord Layton...what you did to me today...I can forgive you for what you did to me today."
Halfway through her words, her expression froze and she was obviously having trouble speaking. Her voice was even a little softer than usual.
She has always dared to dress, expose herself, and seduce, but there has never been a man who dared to be unrestrained in front of her.
After all, she is the next heir to Quetzalcoatl. If the previous generation of Quetzalcoatl had not completed the inheritance of power, she would have died.
She will not be troubled by the Skywings either...
But the Viscount Leighton in front of her, who was just a silver alchemist, did it, and she didn't fight back immediately.
She looked down at the heavy dress that covered her body, then raised her eyes to look at Lin En, her voice became cold again:
"But are you really not afraid? The future Skywing is no ordinary enemy... Even if Quetzalcoatl truly returns to his position, he will not dare to underestimate his existence."
There was indeed a subtle hint of concern in her voice, but the deeper emotion was a deep test.
Evelyn's understanding of Lynn, or rather, of "Viscount Layton", is much deeper than most people.
In the eyes of others, Lin En might just be a silver alchemist temporarily supported by the Quetzalcoatl, a young upstart with good luck and decent abilities.
But in Evelin’s heart, this man has never been that simple.
She knew that he left home at a young age and became a disciple of the alchemist named "Klaus".
Originally this was just a somewhat ordinary experience, but after learning the subsequent intelligence, it was different.
Klaus is not a peripheral member of the Creation Society as outsiders believe, but one of the true founders of the Creation Society!
If we consider the relationship between Lynn and Klaus, Lynn's identity becomes very interesting.
Although Klaus did not seem to deliberately protect Lynn later, he even designed to attract pursuers at a critical moment, as if he was persecuting this disciple.
But so what?
Klaus was ruthless and scheming in his killing of the former Quetzalcoatl throne, and his methods were so vicious that they made people terrified.
But he never really killed this disciple named "Layton", even though Lin En disobeyed him many times and even took the initiative to oppose the Creation Society.
This contrast, on the contrary, gave Evelin a strange intuition.
The relationship between Klaus and Lynn may not be just an ordinary master-disciple relationship.
Maybe... there is a secret connection between them that outsiders cannot understand at all.
And it is this secrecy that makes Lynn fearless of Karen.
Evelin slowly looked at the man in front of her with a frivolous smile, thoughts turning in her mind.
What's more, when Lin En was confronting the Ichthyosaur Throne Kelvan on the sea before, he remained calm. That kind of look and that kind of temperament were definitely not what an ordinary silver alchemist should have.
Even she had to admit that under that level of oppression, Lynn was chillingly calm.
This further confirmed her guess: Lin En was not an ordinary person.
He either holds the trump card left by Klaus, or... he himself is the key node in the Creation Society's secret chess layout.
However, she never expected it.
The "mysterious disciple" that he had been carefully speculating about had already killed Elder Klaus in his hands.
The inference she had painstakingly constructed turned out to be nothing more than a misunderstanding amid the confusion.
Of course, Lynn had no idea how much she was imagining at the moment, and she never expected that she would weave a whole set of "deep love between father and teacher" and "dilemma" plots between herself and Klaus.
He was not worried about Karen, not because he had the Creation Society protecting him, but because he was just an incarnation sent by the "original".
And the real "Lynn", the one standing in front of the starry sky gate of the wizarding world and about to descend into this world, is the natural disaster that everyone should truly fear!
Not to mention Karen, even Karen's master, the Sky-holding Throne himself, is nothing more than an ant that can be destroyed with a wave of his hand.
However, Lin En would certainly not reveal these truths.
In response to Evelin's probing and concerned question, he simply raised his eyebrows slightly, with a hint of amusement at the corner of his mouth:
"I can't help it. Of course, the Sky Wings are extremely powerful... But I am doing this to protect you, Lord Quetzalcoatl."
He shrugged as he spoke, "With you by my side, backing me up, what should I be afraid of?"
This sentence, with three parts seriousness and seven parts ridicule, seems cynical, but it fits his calm attitude perfectly.
Evelin snorted softly when she heard this, her beautiful eyes rolled slightly, and she rolled her eyes at him.
"Smooth talk."
She scolded in a low voice, gnashing her teeth, but her tone did not sound blaming, but instead contained a hint of uncontrollable fluctuation.
At that moment, an indescribable ripple arose in her heart, but it was fleeting.
