Versatile Mage: Unlimited Swordplay, Deconstructing Everything!

Chapter 141 The darkness beneath the light, that is an invisible abyss

There is no winner or loser in the treasure hunt. It is a stage that is beneficial to the growth of the remaining players from the 16 national governments.

But if you insist on saying who is the winner.

It is neither Longguo nor Yingguo.

The biggest winner of the entire treasure hunt was Lin Ling himself.

With his own strength, he almost cleared out all the treasures in the entire treasure hunting arena.

If the tournament officials hadn't been able to ignore it any longer and forcibly stopped the competition, Lin Ling might have plowed the ground to see if there were any lost treasures.

After the treasure hunt ended, Lin Ling took the initiative to release the restraints of the Dragon King Seal.

He doesn't need a large army, what he needs is the absolute elite. In addition, the officials are persuading him to let these monsters go, otherwise he will probably kill all the monsters, exchange them for their essence, and squeeze out every last bit of value.

"Contestant Lin Ling! Contestant Lin Ling! Please wait a moment!"

An official lady wearing a black professional hip skirt and round-frame glasses hurried over and stopped Lin Ling who was about to go back to rest.

"What are you doing?"

"Hello~ Contestant Lin Ling, several of our leaders would like to invite you to the conference room to discuss something. Is it convenient for you to come next?"

The lady in black stockings used a stack of documents to hold down the bunny whose breasts were turbulent from running.

"Lin Ling~" Queen Jiuyou stared at Lin Ling dimly, her eyes full of contempt.

I didn't watch it. I'm from the airport.

"Lolita complex!" Queen Jiuyou snorted and went to play with the Butterfly of Time, ignoring the pervert Lin Ling.

Lin Ling's mouth twitched. He didn't do anything, but he was labeled a lolita complex.

This is a hateful false accusation!

"Lead the way, young lady."

"Okay, please follow me."

There was no conversation along the way, and soon Lin Ling, led by the young lady in black stockings, came to a conference room on the top floor of the Water City Tower.

All four walls here have been replaced with magic-coated single-sided glass, allowing you to see the beautiful scenery of the Water City.

At this moment, there were already two men and one woman sitting in the conference room, waiting for Lin Ling.

Seeing this scene, Lin Ling's mouth curled up slightly. He certainly knew why the official leader of the event wanted to see him.

Mmm~ It smells like money~
"Everyone, I know why you came to me, and I can promise you."

The three leaders of the World Government Competition official organization relaxed when they heard that Lin Ling was so easily relieved.

My heart, which had been hanging in the air, finally settled down.

You should know that Lin Ling looted most of the treasures in the treasure hunting arena.

The remaining treasures are simply not enough to support the needs of the next generation.

The treasures in the treasure hunt are the accumulated treasures to this scale since the event was founded.

If they want to fill this huge gap themselves, they really have to dig out a piece of meat to fill it.

"but."

Suddenly, Lin Ling changed the subject, which made the three leaders present feel anxious again.

Because they saw a malicious smile on Lin Ling's face.

No cover-up at all.

"You have to pay more~"

Half an hour later, Lin Ling finally sold the treasures he had looted back to the tournament officials at a 50% premium.

I have to say that the official organization that can be responsible for the World Government Competition is rich.

If we had known to triple the price at the beginning, and ended up doubling it, it would have been perfect. After the treasure hunt, the World Government Competition will have a short break to give the contestants time to win the treasure.

It's just that this time I was consumed by loneliness.

At the same time, as the World Government Competition was in full swing, in the Parthenon Temple far away in Greece, Asharuya was looking at the information she had found.

It is clearly the warmest time of the day when the sun shines on people, making them feel warm and comfortable. Coupled with the steam, the black tea brewed with the unique tea leaves of the Parthenon is sure to make people feel happy both physically and mentally.

But Asharuya felt as if she was in an ice cellar, her whole body was extremely cold.

"Haha. I didn't expect it to be like this."

Asharuya smiled bitterly, her beautiful purple eyes filled with powerlessness.

She now finally understood the meaning of the words Lin Ling gave her when they left that day.

"The brighter the place, the more likely it is for evil to breed."

The Parthenon, known as the kindest and most sacred temple in the world, has long become a den of evil.

She was originally continuing to investigate the truth behind the dark judgment of the Holy Son Wen Tai, but unexpectedly she discovered some unexpected gains.

The Black Vatican!
This dark organization that stands against humanity actually has many teachers hiding in the Parthenon.

Although she still didn't know how many people there were and who they were.

But she was certain that among those who held high positions in the Parthenon, some were members of the Vatican in disguise.

Even the noble families that supported the Parthenon may have been controlled by the Vatican.

"Lady Saint, the Palace Mother has something she would like to discuss with you."

Just as Asharuya was thinking about whether to contact Lin Ling, the voice of a maid suddenly came from outside the house.

"What's the matter?" Asharuya did not go out, but slowly said in the house, while collecting all the relevant information.

She now felt that everyone in the Parthenon might be a member of the Black Church and she had to remain extremely vigilant.

"It's about the sanctions imposed on Lord Elsend, the Dark Lord. The Temple Mother said she hopes to hear the opinions of the Holy Son and his adopted daughter."

"I see."

Upon hearing this, Asharuya also took her coat and headed to the Palace Mother Courtyard.

Elsend also participated in the Dark Judgment of the Holy Son Wentai and cast the Guilty Stone.

Now that he has been caught with evidence of his crime, he will naturally come looking for her.

After arriving at the Palace Mother's Courtyard, the Golden Knight who was responsible for guarding the place went to inform the Palace Mother.

Before the goddess was chosen, the Temple Mother was the actual ruler of the Parthenon.

Asharuya sat on a bench in the garden of the Temple Mother Courtyard, waiting for the Temple Mother's call.

But for some reason, the Temple Mother Courtyard, where she had been countless times, now gave her a dark and cold feeling.

Here, birds are singing and flowers are blooming, and the garden is full of bright and beautiful flowers.
"No. Where is the maid responsible for maintaining the garden?" Asharuya stood up immediately.

Normally, there should be maids watering the flowers and trimming the grass in the garden, but now she didn't see the two maids.

Tick~
Suddenly, a drop of red liquid fell in front of Asharuya's eyes and dripped onto the expensive stone bricks, forming a red circular spot.

Asharuya raised her head stiffly and looked towards the top of the pavilion.

On the spherical dome, two bodies of maids, wearing white costumes of Parthenon maids, with twisted bodies forced into the dome, were looking down with their eyes wide open.

That drop of red liquid was nothing but blood dripping from the corpse's hanging mouth!

"Sometimes, knowing something you shouldn't know can lead to fatal consequences, Asharuya."

　I found that writing goes much more smoothly if I don’t write about the protagonist. Why is that?

　　Thank you, Young Master Ye, for the generous reward! Love you!
