Reject me, hateful woman

After a long time, Hedwig finally spoke with some difficulty,

"I want to say it's you, but my subconscious doesn't even want me to believe you're telling the truth."

"It's okay, it's human nature."

Lynn comforted.

"........"

Although he was comforting himself, Hedwig always felt that he had tricked her.

"Then, Your Highness, can you explain to me now the real reason why you invited me?"

"Of course no problem."

Hedwig nodded,

"My original plan was to discuss it with you, on the condition that you pay some appropriate price and make a promise. I hope you will stop interfering in matters related to the emperor's election."

"original?"

Lynn caught a key word.

"Yes, originally."

Hedwig nodded lightly,

"But now, I've changed my mind."

She suddenly paused and swallowed lightly, as if she was adjusting her state, and seemed to be making some kind of determination.

After a while, she looked at Lin En and said warmly:

"Are you interested in adding to your incredible record?"

"for example?"

Lynn asked.

"for example,"

Hedwig turned to Linn. Her light brown eyes, which seemed to always appear soft and gentle due to her congenital illness, shone with unprecedented glory and light. They were fierce and dangerous, and there was also a sickly look on her face. flushing,

"How about hunting another ring?"

Lin En was just silent for a while. Then, he did not reject or agree, but asked:

"Then what can I get?"

"Don't worry, I will offer you a higher bid than Xia invited you to,"

As if she had anticipated Linn's question, Hedwig answered happily.

"Everything."

"All I know, all I can do."

"Even if it's the answer that Shia wants to know, or even helping her cheat in the imperial election, that's okay."

Another blush flashed across the cheeks that were so white that they were almost transparent, but it wasn't the kind that was sick due to excitement.

Hedwig suddenly made an extremely bold move.

She stretched out her hand and gently covered the back of Lin En's hand on the table. Her thumb gently, jerky, and tremblingly scratched the hollow of Lin En's tiger's mouth.

Before she had time to enjoy the cold and warm touch from the white silk gloves, Lin En's ears could already hear the timid and restrained voice of Her Royal Highness, who could not hide her shyness even though she tried hard to suppress it:

"Even if you want me to accompany you for one night, that's fine~"

ps: I’m back to update my family. I’ve been out for two days and my soul has been blown away... I’d better just stay at home and write. Wuwuwu...

Chapter 175: There are no slaves around Lin En! 4.5k

Lynn has always believed in one truth, that is, Mendel + some damn peas is greater than the theory of evolution.

One father cannot produce too many different species.

Especially the two sisters, Hiltria and Historia, are like large and small figures carved from the same mold.

Both of them have a bit of crazy elements in them, but compared to Hiltria's domineering and arrogant attitude, Historia has basically turned into his shape after a few trainings from Linn.

At least, it is slightly different from the somewhat brainless and annoying protagonist Long Aotian in the original work.

And Hedwig, she is like an exception compared with her sisters.

With faded silver hair, she lost the flame that had been passed down from generation to generation in her family, but in exchange for it, well... what the other two people may never get is a broad mind and a personality that is different from others. , calm and dignified temperament.

Coupled with the fact that she volunteered to be a foil to her younger brothers and sisters, and a witness chosen by the king, Lin En felt that she might really be an exception.

However, it was obvious that Linn knew that he was wrong the moment Hedwig put his hand on the back of his hand.

This woman is far more ambitious than her sisters.

Hunting a ring.

The last person to achieve this achievement had the help of two ceiling-level professionals from Purple Gold Flower, the Empress and the Duke of Northland, as well as three forcibly bound three cardinals as his "colluders". This achievement was achieved only after he had done some mental arithmetic and already guessed who his opponent was by [-]-[-]%.

As for Her Highness Hedwig, if she wants to accomplish the same thing as herself, the difficulty required will only be much higher than her own.

And if it is the price of failure.

Probably with the disappearance of the eldest sister who could mediate the disputes between the crown princes, Fire Rose, the dominant country in the north, will fall apart due to the loss of control of the emperor's election and the subsequent revenge of the Magic Clock Tower.

As for myself, it is even more impossible to escape unscathed.

Linn calmly withdrew his hand.

There was a hint of sadness in Hedwig's eyes, but it was not that disappointing.

"If you are not going to help us, please keep this secret."

Hedwig could only say.

"No, on the contrary, I am very interested in your proposal."

Lynn said.

Just kidding, is there anyone in the world who is more of a thorn in the side of those arcane lunatics than myself?

No matter who wants to build the Magic Clock Tower, it's Lynn Norton who's responsible for helping out.

If two ring-level experts were lost in a row, even the Magic Clock Tower would have to consider whether to continue to enter a hostile state with the two superpowers. This would be a great good thing for Lin En and Zijinhua.

"Then you just now?"

Hedwig looked a little surprised.

"I'm just not very interested in your offer of remuneration."

After saying that, Linn held Hedwig's hand, pushed it back gently, and said with a slight smile:

"A girl's chastity is a very precious thing. At least, those moths that only live in other people's homes are not worthy of it."

This time, Hedwig didn't show much emotion.

She just looked into Linn's eyes and said nothing.

Afterwards, the princess gently closed her eyes to adjust her mood, and returned to the beautiful but somewhat delicate silver-haired princess.

"You have learned a lesson, Your Highness Linn."

"So, is there anything else your Highness needs my help with? Otherwise, I'll excuse you."

Lin En was just being polite, but Hedwig actually nodded.

"Actually, there are still two things that need to be troubled by His Highness Lin En."

Hedwig's tone returned to that reassuring calmness,

"I heard that you are quite close to the priests of the Theocracy. I wonder if you know the real purpose of their trip to Fire Rose?"

"It's for the blasphemers."

Hiltelia and Celidia discussed this matter. In order to show her trust in Linn, Celidia did not avoid herself. Of course Linn knew it.

Linn even knew that Selidia, who was praised by the Theocracy as the "Beloved Daughter of the Mother Goddess" and was also the youngest bishop of the Theocracy, was having a big headache over this matter. For this reason, she had to negotiate with Hiltelia Make a certain amount of compromise.

However, Hedwig actually took the initiative to mention this matter, which surprised Linn.

Obviously, His Highness is not completely ignorant of the existence of heretics in Rose City.

But in this case, the other party's attitude is very thought-provoking.

Because the degree of harm of heresy also varies.

Some heretics are just apostates who have abandoned their faith for some reason and are therefore hunted by the religious trials of the Theocracy, but more heretics are devil believers and blasphemers who curse the gods in reverse.

The former is largely a matter between the individual and the Holy See, while the latter is undoubtedly a villain and lunatic that everyone can punish.

In order to pray for power from demons and evil gods faster, believers of evil gods must perform very bloody and evil sacrificial acts, without exception.

No official would tolerate the existence of such a guy. If it were in Zijinhua, the Shadow Knights would dig out these guys and grind them to ashes without even having to give orders from the Empress Mother.

Fire Rose is only in some turmoil now, and has not reached the point where it is almost gone. Since Hedwig knows the existence of those guys, why would she allow them to be active?

Moreover, Celidia seemed to have said that the reason why the Theocracy was unable to quickly clear out the blasphemers was not because of lack of combat power, but rather that every time the Church took action, the blasphemers would flee or flee at a faster rate. The response to the counterattack was as if the entire city was fighting against the clergy of the Theocracy.

Even in the current Rose City, homeless people and civilians rushing to the suburbs are constantly disappearing. The outcome is self-evident.

This was also the reason why she had to agree to the deal with Hiltelia, who had a semi-official status and was a local leader.

At the moment when the old king was unable to take charge, the person with the most official status was sitting in front of him.

"It seems that His Highness Lin En understands something,"

The smile on Hedwig's face had completely disappeared, and she rubbed her brows in distress.

"The reason why those blasphemers are still active today is because when Fire Rose first discovered them, they did not regard them as too powerful a threat. However, when the other party later became a climate, they were no longer the Fire Rose at this time. They could Enemies dealt with independently.”

"I'm afraid it's not that Fire Rose can't handle it, but that Her Highness Hedwig can't handle it."

Lynn said slowly.

"Yes."

Hedwig actually nodded,

"I must admit that this was a dereliction of duty on my part. At the time, I just thought it was some inconspicuous cult of blasphemers and didn't pay much attention to it. But I didn't expect that it was actually our common enemy. It was better to take a step in advance. chess."

There is no doubt that the only common enemy between the two of them is the tower.

Lynn nodded:

"You mean, you want me to do some work to help the church get rid of those blasphemers?"

"Yes, although I'm sorry, Your Highness Lin En, this can be regarded as one of your tests. After all, although personally, I have recognized you, but from the position of the eldest princess of Fire Rose, I cannot Letting any random person join our hunting plan would be irresponsible to the remaining members.”

Hedwig's tone was apologetic, but extremely firm.

"I understand."

Lynn didn't show much dissatisfaction, or in other words, only if Hedwig trusted him completely would he lower her evaluation in his heart.

Even for a stupid guy like Historia, if Lin casually handed her an apple, she would have to wipe it with her sleeve to avoid being drugged in advance.

However, Historia also knew how to thank herself after eating the apple. Hedwig would be a bit naive if she wanted her to work for nothing.

Sure enough, Hedwig quickly said again:

"Well, actually, Your Highness Lin En, there is one more thing that has nothing to do with our cooperation. It is something I want to ask of you in my own name."

"As far as I know, the reason why those blasphemers with limited strength and rank can make powerful priests like Lady Celidia anxious is not because of their strength, but because of their whereabouts It is very strange, as if it can predict the actions of everyone in the Theocracy in advance, making it difficult for people to guard against."

Hedwig bit her lower lip lightly, a little sadness showing in her eyebrows.

"I did a little research, but unfortunately I found that behind those blasphemers, there seemed to be one of my brothers and sisters."

Sure enough...that's true!

Lin En had previously suspected that someone within Fire Rose was behind the scenes. Ordinary officials or nobles colluded with the cultists and had no objections to seeking skin from the tiger. Not only would they be exposed, they would be subject to double trials by the Holy See and the country. Faced with the consequences of the cultists, There is nothing we can do about erosion.

Not to mention, there is a high probability that the cultists who have the Magic Clock Tower as their backer may not look down on ordinary nobles.
