Reject me, hateful woman

"Oh, about that matter, I think you are simply overthinking it."

Lin En shook his head helplessly,

"Although it is a good thing for us to be able to kill the ring in the Magic Clock Tower, it would be too underestimated for Her Highness to just move her body and ask me to help her through life and death."

Hearing this, Lily opened her mouth, not knowing how to answer.

She originally thought that Linn looked down on Dweller, but now she realized that Linn just felt that innocence was not enough?

"Then what's your bottom line?"

Lily asked tentatively.

"It would be too strange for someone to accompany me or something like that."

Linn said matter-of-factly.

"At least, three of them should accompany me."

Imagine two female ghosts, one big and one small, standing on the left and right, while the gentle and charming silver-haired big sister stands in the middle and lifts up her skirt together, revealing black silk, white silk and red silk, and... ahem , in short, just thinking about it, Lin En felt a little happy.

What is triple happiness?

Lin En was taken down so easily, but unfortunately, the other party didn't understand what he meant.

Lily on the side was about to scold Linn for being ignorant, when suddenly, the carriage wall was knocked several times, and the shadow knight Granny, disguised as a coachman, opened the curtain and handed a note to Linn's hand.

"Your Highness, someone just threw this to us. Do you want to see it?"

Linn nodded and took the note.

He recognized the pattern on the back of the note. It was the secret code agreed between her and the Third Highness Hiltelia. He would be responsible for maintaining the relationship between her and the church, and the other party would also give him a copy of the information given to the church.

After unfolding the paper, slightly injecting fire-attribute magic power, the paper immediately burned. In the end, only four gaps burned by the flames appeared on the paper, and four words could be vaguely seen:

"Tomorrow night, the next life."

Chapter 179: Just wait? The curtain is lifted! 6.5k

The next evening, Rose and Gold Opera House.

Walking through the most prosperous King's Avenue in Rose City, to the end, you can see this gorgeous and solemn opera house like a palace.

This building is dedicated to the entertainment of Fire Rose's upper class. Its design, both internal decoration and exterior architecture, can be said to be extremely gorgeous, but it does not have any sense of vulgarity of the nouveau riche.

Although gold is its main color, magnificence and extravagance are the original intention of its establishment, the colonnade-style architectural style gives it a sense of historical sedimentation and solemnity. I don’t know how many art masters have subsequently carved and precipitated it, giving rise to several types of Architectural styles are perfectly combined in this opera house.

Someone once commented that this building is not so much a building for people to admire, but a work of art where paintings, marble and gold ornaments complement each other.

As the most famous opera house in the entire Rose City and even the entire Fire Rose, it seems to always be crowded with people and it is difficult to get a ticket.

And tonight, amid the flow of carriages that blocked the wide King's Avenue, an inconspicuous black carriage quietly came to the entrance of the theater.

"Your Highness, we are here."

Granny opened the door of the carriage and climbed down the steps that popped up from Linn's side.

"okay, thank you."

Looking up at the crowded crowd and the majestic theater shrouded in golden lights, like a giant in golden armor, even Lin En couldn't help being a little shocked. He pulled the cloak around his body and his eyes fell on On the note in the palm of your hand.

It was naturally a note sent to him by someone from Hiltelia. The message on the note was simple and crude, which was in line with the style of Her Royal Highness. There were only four words in total: "Tomorrow night, next life."

Tomorrow night is naturally the time, but the word "Lai Sheng" is somewhat intriguing.

Although His Highness Hiltelia wanted to invite Linn to give birth to something, he could barely accept it, but the one who followed the time was undoubtedly at the designated place.

Linn's first reaction was the name of a bar in a well-known game, and he asked Granny to send the Shadow Knights to investigate the place related to the word "afterlife". He thought it would take at least the next day to receive the results. , but I didn’t expect that the answer would be revealed much faster than imagined.

At the dinner table that night, when Linn tentatively mentioned the word "afterlife", he was surprised to find that almost everyone in the Historia family except the three foreigners had heard of this place.

The Rose and Gold Opera House is the most prestigious opera house in the entire Fire Rose. Its splendor and magnificence are enough to shock everyone's heart.

But if there’s one thing this theater is more famous for than its appearance, it has to be the opera series “Afterlife.”

Named after the famous figures in the history of Fire Rose, with their lives as the main content, this is the soul of the "Afterlife" series.

And tonight is the day when a certain drama in the Afterlife series will be aired.

Linn narrowed his eyes, looked at the opera house shrouded in lights, and gently rubbed his chin.

No wonder Celidia and the people from the Theocracy couldn't catch the tails of those cultist rats. It would be too difficult for the poor nuns to investigate the head of a place like this, even if they had to share a cup of milk tea together. .

However, if you think about it in reverse, this move is actually quite good.

Most people have the impression that the church is an upright party. On the contrary, those cultists must be hiding their heads and tail. Places like the Opera House actually feel a bit dark under the lights.

Both Hedwig and Celidia speculated that behind the cultists there were supporters of the Fire Rose nobility and even the crown prince level. Now it seems that it is almost confirmed.

As for how to find out who it is, even Granny can come up with the best strategy without any hints:

and so on.

Just wait.

The crown prince who will be attending tonight's opera house is the person most likely to have connections with the cultists.

"Hey, please hurry up and drop off the passengers here. There are other people queuing up behind you!"

At this moment, a man dressed as a guard came here and urged the two of them.

"Sorry, we're leaving right now."

Granny hurriedly explained to the man.

"Well, please move faster... Hey, is it you?"

Linn thought he was an acquaintance of Granny. After all, the Shadow Knight had been secretly running for him these days. However, when his eyes met, he realized that this guy seemed to be coming for him. .

"You don't recognize me anymore, it's me!"

The man waved excitedly to Lin En, and after taking another look, Lin seemed to have some impression:

"Ninja Puck?"

"It's Lambert!"

The man corrected loudly.

He winked at Granny and told her not to be nervous, because Linn really knew this person.

On the first day that Lynn and the others arrived in Rose City, some incidents occurred because Hiltelia was also returning to the city. Although the guard named Lambert didn't seem very smart, he was also outspoken. and integrity, which left a slight impression on Lynn.

Lin En also promised him at that time that he would help teach the "arrogant" Third Highness a lesson.

"You, you also bought a ticket and came to watch the show?"

The guard named Lambert showed a surprised expression.

"That's right, but I haven't bought a ticket yet."

Linn said honestly.

Tickets for the Gold and Rose Theater are basically booked one month in advance, and they must be from people with a certain status. Not to mention the most popular "Afterlife" series, it is not an exaggeration to book three months in advance. , Lin En just made a temporary decision yesterday, and of course she couldn't buy a ticket.

Lambert immediately breathed a sigh of relief and winked at Linn:

"You, the guy who rides the public carriage, can't buy a ticket. You should be the same as those guys, right?"

Linn's private carriage did not have any emblems or decorations. At first glance, it did look a bit like a small public carriage. This was Linn's intention.

Most of the "those guys" Lambert mentioned are people who can't buy tickets. A small number of these people are senior opera fans who are satisfied even if they hear a little lingering sound from outside the building. Most of them come to see this opera. The legendary opera house itself.

"What's there to see? They're just a bunch of boring guys following the trend. They're all heads, and it's a mess."

Lin En just smiled and changed the subject:

"Aren't you a city gate guard? Why are you guarding here?"

Having said this, Lambert suddenly showed a shy expression, touched the back of his head, and said sheepishly:

"What else could it be? There's a lot of money here. You know, winter is coming now, and the winter in Rose City is not easy to endure."

Linn just nodded silently.

Unlike purple gold flowers, which have four distinct seasons, fire roses seem to have only two seasons: winter and other seasons. Especially in winter, when aristocratic gentlemen are drinking strong wine by the fireplace in a private club, they may be seen a few blocks away. People kept freezing to death.

The head maid was quarreling with the palace steward who was looking for trouble because the other party withheld Historia's monthly payment for the winter.

The guard gave a thumbs up:

"Haha, come with me later and I will take you to a good place."

"Good place?"

Lynn was a little puzzled.

"It's a side door. I have to tell you."

Lambert chuckled,

"We are willing to work in such a troublesome place. In addition to the high salary, another important reason is that we can sneak in and watch the show during our break. Although the angle is a bit different, when you think about it, the ticket is worth several gold coins. , it feels so good!”

Looking at the guard's appearance, Lin En couldn't help but smile:

"That's not necessary. In fact, I have already made an appointment with my friend. But if you want to watch the opera, you can come with us later. Don't worry about your salary."

"Huh? I'm serious, don't joke with me."

The guard scratched his head in confusion.

The number of seats in each area of ​​the Rose and Gold Opera House is fixed and limited. It is impossible to temporarily stuff people in. Only those high-end private rooms can do this.

But how can the private rooms of the Rose Opera House be a place that ordinary people can enter?

Not to mention ordinary nobles, some lords from small places are not qualified. Only those old and powerful families or even members of the royal family have the right to use it.

It is said that the Rose Theater will open a legendary box that has never been opened to the public tonight.

Even among all the boxes, it is the largest, best-located, and most luxurious one, but it has never been open to the public because it is the private box of the theater owner, which makes this theater even more legendary.

But these have nothing to do with the two of them.

This guy who can't even buy a ticket knows a big noble or even a royal family?

This was too ridiculous. The guard felt that Linn was just getting high.

"Well, is this Mr. Linn?"

At this moment, a gentle male voice sounded from behind the two of them. They turned around and saw a bookish-looking man standing there. His smooth forehead hair blew down, covering half of his body. cheek.

The Shadow Knight, who had been quite relaxed at first, felt like he was facing a formidable enemy.

The sixth prince, Xervis!

Among the domineering members of the Bayer family, this prince is the most gentle and amiable. It is hard to see that he would be the guy who has secret connections with the cultists.

Lin En's expression remained unchanged and he greeted:

"Hello, Xervis..."

"Hush!"

Xervis made a silencing gesture.

"Here, I'm just an audience member who likes opera. I didn't expect you to have the same hobby. However, the theater may be crowded. Do you want to come to my private room?"

"That's not necessary, I already have an appointment."

"That's a pity,"

Xervis showed a sad expression,

"Hope you enjoy watching."

"you too."

After the two said goodbye to each other, Xervis entered the theater.

Shadow Knight Granny pursed her lips. It was obviously beyond her expectation to meet the crown prince who would attend the opera tonight so quickly.

Lambert on the side was immediately dumbfounded. Although he didn't know Xervis, he could still understand his words. This guy actually knew a big shot who could enter the private room?
