Fox Demon: God rewards hard work, I will eventually master martial arts and become a god

Priscilla kicked the sword ghost lying next to her several times. Priscilla didn't like such an old guy and didn't want him to lie next to her all the time.

"Why save him? Why don't you just kill him? Then the candidate for the king election that he is protecting will die himself."

"You'll give that woman of yours more chances."

Priscilla said.

"So, you don't want me to save him?"

"Also how did you know he would be in that position?"

Lin Yu asked seriously.

Lin Yu didn't understand what the magic in this world could do. If Priscilla said that she could use magic to predict the future, Lin Yu could actually accept it.

But she had to say something now.

"I don't know. I can only say that this is what you are destined to encounter. Don't think too much about it. I'm just saying it casually."

"I thought you were too annoying at the time and wanted you to go away."

Priscilla said.

"what?"

Lin Yu was a little stunned when he heard this answer. Priscilla was a person who lied without thinking.

"You really have no sense of being a hostage. Then let me ask you again, why don't you take the opportunity to run away, or do you have other intentions?"

Lin Yu said.

"But I don't have any particular need right now. If I need something next time, I will answer your question again."

Priscilla's words were as irritating as ever.

While Lin Yu was talking to Priscilla, the Sword Ghost woke up. He opened his eyes and looked at the unfamiliar environment. He subconsciously grabbed the sword in his hand.

His attention was focused in an instant, and Lin Yu could probably guess that he had probably maintained a high-intensity combat state before.

So much so that he couldn't get enough rest during the time he was unconscious, he only remembered that he needed to fight.

But there was no enemy in front of him, only Lin Yu.
But Sword Demon did not speak first because there was a Priscilla on the other side.

Lin Yu might be trustworthy, but Priscilla is not trustworthy at all.

The sword demon looked at Priscilla, the anger in his eyes almost jumping out of his sockets.

If it weren't for what this woman did in the palace, perhaps none of this would have happened.

As a result, Lin Yu is now with Priscilla, and Sword Ghost also begins to distrust Lin Yu a little.

"Why is she with you?"

The sword ghost asked.

"She is my hostage now. Emilia has also been captured by her people. The situation is a bit complicated."

"But it seems that Crusch is not with you either."

When Lin Yu found the Sword Ghost in the trash can, he knew he was in trouble.

But if this was done by Al, then Lin Yu could be sure that this crazy woman had some way to locate everyone.

Lin Yu had suspected this before, especially when she found herself and Emilia.

She said she came here because she heard the fight between Reinhard and Lin Yu, but she was able to find Lin Yu accurately before the army arrived.
So Lin Yu had to wonder if she had the ability to locate all the candidates.

"After we escaped, we hid from the army. I used to serve in the army, so I know their plans and methods."

"According to my arrangement, we would have spent some time in comfort, then find a chance to leave the capital and return to Crusch's family to seek help."

"But what I didn't expect was that a man suddenly appeared and took Crusch away, saying that he wanted to marry her."

Sword Ghost frowned subconsciously when he mentioned this matter.

"What kind of man is that?"

Lin Yu couldn't help but ask.

"He wore white clothes, had ornaments on his ears, looked more neutral, and spoke in a calm tone. He thought he was very polite, but in fact, even his etiquette was wrong."

"He kept talking about things like God, like a complete charlatan."

Sword Demon's memories were brought back to mind, and he instinctively clenched his fists.

If that guy were standing in front of him now, he would probably attack without hesitation.

But unfortunately, if he had such ability, he would not be like this now.

"The answer is simple. You were no match for him and were defeated miserably. Then Crusch was taken away."

Lin Yu patted Sword Ghost on the shoulder.

"What a weak guy! If I were you, I would just die. If you can't even protect your own master, what else can you protect?"

Priscilla is still as sarcastic as ever.

Her eyes were full of contempt.

She looked at the Sword Ghost with disgust.

These words touched the Sword Demon's heart, and memories suddenly flooded into his mind along with her words, and he seemed to have thought of something.

But he is too old, and the passion that he had when he was young is no longer there.

When he heard such words, he would only feel sad and desperate, and then re-examine himself.

Many years ago, he also failed to protect his family.

"Then according to what you said, it seems that your subordinate also failed to protect you. Doesn't he deserve to die too?"

"Besides, I've heard enough of your disgusting words."

"If you open your mouth again, I may not kill you, but I will definitely cut off your tongue."

Lin Yu walked up to Priscilla and spoke word by word.

"You don't really think that if your demands are met, your relationship with me will improve, do you? Do you think you are my friend?"

Lin Yu said again.

"Okay, okay, I won't talk anymore."

Priscilla raised her hands, looking like she would behave herself.

"It doesn't matter. As long as Crusch is still alive, we have a chance to rescue her."

"Also, although I know it may be inappropriate to say this at this time, I want to tell you that, like Emilia, Felix was also captured by Al."

“And Felt also has a corresponding one.”

Lin Yu took a deep breath.

"If your goal is to kill all the candidates for the King's Choice, then you are already halfway there."

The sword ghost was suddenly startled.

Although he had considered that Priscilla must have been prepared if she dared to do such a thing in the beginning.

But the preparation was too thorough, and even within such a short period of time, the candidates for the king's choice were captured one after another.

"I just thought you were complimenting me."

Priscilla shrugged.

"Do you know who that man is?"

Lin Yu looked at Priscilla.

"Don't bother others with things you can find yourself."

Priscilla looked disdainful.

"So you must know something."

Lin Yu keenly sensed the meaning of Priscilla's words.

"What I can tell you is that it wasn't me, and it wasn't Al's." "I can't locate all of you, and no one can."

Priscilla said softly.

“Priscilla is with me. Emilia’s safety can be guaranteed for the time being. However, we must first find Crusch, or at least find out who kidnapped her.”

Lin Yu said softly.

"Thank you for your help."

Sword Ghost was slightly moved. He didn't expect Lin Yu to be willing to help him so directly.

Lin Yu knew clearly that the current enemy was uncertain, and Priscilla in the open might be one of them.

If she wasn't lying, then it was obvious that there was someone else who attacked the Sword Demon and captured Crusch.

Lin Yu felt confused before, but now he feels that he is gradually getting to the truth.

Priscilla may not be the only one who has set her sights on this city and is stirring up trouble there.

Without further ado, Lin Yu asked Jian Gui to take him to the place where he had been attacked before.

There wasn't much time to see the details, and the location itself is a relatively busy area.

The traces on the ground had long been submerged in the crowd of people walking, but the traces of the battle between the Sword Ghost and that guy were still preserved.

The sword marks on the wall, the sunken floor, the dried blood, Lin Yu reconstructed the battle between them in his mind based on the scene.

Lin Yu could imagine that the Sword Ghost had done everything he could to make every detail possible. The Sword Ghost did not underestimate the enemy, and his sword skills could even be said to be superb.

But his age was destined to impose great restrictions on him, and there were limits to what he could do.

No matter how advanced the sword skills were, they couldn't cause enough damage to that man.

"No, this person's steps were somewhat chaotic. Once he was approached, he was even a little afraid. He kept retreating, or he could only retreat."

"He doesn't look like a trained man. He has almost no experience or skills in actual combat."

Lin Yu said softly.

"Yes, I was a little confused at first, but when I actually attacked his body, I realized the key to the problem."

The Sword Ghost was still frightened.

"That body doesn't look like a human's. It seems harder than steel. The sword even makes a crisp sound when it cuts into it."

"All the blood here is mine. I fought with him for a long time, and finally my strength was exhausted."

“It led to my final defeat.”

Jian Guixiang seemed to be really reflecting on himself. He was really a person who was quite strict with himself.

"A guy with a strong enough body, this sounds incredible."

Lin Yu frowned.

If the body is strong enough, then the problem is not that big.

There are so many ways to deal with this enemy.

"Is there any way to find that guy?"

The sword ghost asked.

"Actually, there are. At least there should be."

Lin Yu said softly.

The other party is in the dark, while Lin Yu is in the light. What Lin Yu is saying now is more like what he is saying to himself, or to be more precise, to his future self.

So after a brief period of delay, the light that had been silently guiding Lin Yu forward once again shone in front of Lin Yu.

The light kept guiding Lin Yu, and they came to a church where there were people praying devoutly.

From the outside, there doesn't seem to be anything unusual or needing attention.

Because of their special identities, they cannot observe for too long and can only withdraw after waiting for a period of time.

"Is it really in a place like this?"

"This doesn't look like a place where people would hide."

Priscilla was skeptical of the place.

Moreover, without any intelligence or information, Lin Yu brought them here directly without any suspicion along the way.

Priscilla and Sword Ghost both thought that they just needed to follow Lin Yu.

He seemed so confident, but there was no sign of that man at the scene at all.

"Wait and see, we'll spend the night here."

Lin Yu said softly.

Of course Lin Yu will believe in his future self.

"I don't understand why you are so determined."

Priscilla said.

But although she said this, in reality she didn't really have a choice.

The one who really has a choice is the Sword Ghost.

He can choose not to follow Lin Yu's advice and search according to his own ideas.

Sword Ghost was in a dilemma at this time. According to his experience, that man would not appear here.

But if he was asked to leave Lin Yu and act alone, although Jian Gui had the courage, he did not think there would be a good result.

"There will be no surprises, and the more impatient you are, the less likely you are to get what you want."

Lin Yu saw through what Sword Ghost was thinking at the moment, so he simply said it out loud in an attempt to calm Sword Ghost down.

"I'm sorry, but I think since I've accepted your help, I should trust your judgment."

The sword ghost said softly.

They were hiding next to the church at the moment, watching people coming and going in front of the church, and paying attention from time to time to possible troops appearing on the street.

Also keep a close eye on any suspects who may appear in the church.

There were so many things to do, but Lin Yu and Priscilla were still relatively relaxed.

Only the Sword Ghost was still holding his sword, ready for battle. He had no way of relaxing.

In comparison, Priscilla is too relaxed. She even takes the initiative to talk to passers-by on the street.

I would also tell people who are praying in church that there is no God in this world.

In order to prevent Priscilla from causing more trouble, Lin Yu quickly took Priscilla to move again.

"You are too nervous. It would be better to relax a little. Otherwise, you will consume too much energy and you will not get what you want."

Lin Yu patted Sword Ghost on the shoulder.

"I'm sorry. I've thought about it. That crazy woman is right. I failed to protect Crusch. As her knight, I have an unshirkable responsibility."

"I have to atone for this."

The sword ghost whispered.

"If you finish your work as a knight, what will you do after that?"

Lin Yu tried to help Jian Gui relax, so he had a brief chat with him.

"I don't know. I have been swinging swords almost all my life. If one day I no longer hold a weapon, I don't understand where my value lies."

"For me, the best fate is to die on the battlefield and on the way to the charge."

"If I had to choose, I would probably open a flower shop. My late wife loved flowers, but I don't know how to run a business."

"So if you want to open a store, you probably need to learn a lot of things."

Sword Ghost couldn't help but imagine that kind of life. (End of this chapter)
