How should you respond?
Lin Si picked up her wine glass and took another sip.
He truly had no idea what Crydella and these people's little secrets were.
If the Sword Flag Lord asked him about other things, he might not be able to answer them.
But she was asking about the agreement.
The game begins as Crydella, with the mission 'to save Onpharos'.
In such a situation, Caesar, who knew how to maintain the monarch's "properties," and his close bodyguards would only have one agreement.
"Lord Sword and Banner, Caesar will always provide you with a place to stay, no matter when."
Chapter 306 Demon King, Caesar must have you!
"Who exactly is he? How could he possibly know?"
Crydela, deep within her consciousness, was truly shocked at this moment.
First of all, the Demon King knew nothing about Onpharos.
She had confirmed this countless times.
He didn't know the meaning of Kefal carrying the sun, didn't know the existence of the Divine Enlightenment Tree Court, didn't know what the Earth Beast was, and even got the relationship between Tibo and Aglaia's titles wrong.
He came into this world like a blank sheet of paper, acquiring all his information on an ad hoc basis.
Secondly, my contact with Heather was limited to today.
A few brief exchanges on the battlefield, a few words of conversation on the way back to town, and setting up tasks in the Sky Garden—that's all.
He had no way of knowing about her promise to Heather.
He shouldn't have known.
But he found out.
"........."
Countless possibilities raced through Cerberus's mind.
Can he read memories? Can he see the past? Did he investigate everything about her before he arrived?
Every hypothesis she made was rejected by herself, only to be quickly replaced by a new one.
She looked at Lin Si's calm and composed face, her own face, with a faint smile that could almost be described as 'trivial skill'.
His expression seemed to say, 'This little problem is no challenge for me.'
"........"
A thousand words surged in her heart, but ultimately coalesced into a single sentence.
"This child is so intelligent he's almost demonic!"
She paused for a moment.
"We must be under Caesar's command!"
The idea came suddenly, yet it was unusually firm.
She knew very well that if Caesar had this person to assist him, his ambition would be 'filled' by him.
He has that ability. He has that vision. He has that intuition to 'see through the essence'.
She even had a feeling of absurdity.
If this person is an enemy, then he/she will be the most dangerous enemy. But if he/she is a friend...
Kerudela consciously narrowed her eyes slightly.
Therefore, this person must be one of Caesar's men.
We cannot let anyone take him away.
But as soon as the idea popped into her head, she encountered a problem.
What could possibly attract someone like that to risk his life for Caesar?
Money? He can easily pull out those large-scale weapons, so he's definitely not short of money.
Power? Just look at his easygoing attitude towards his subordinates, and you'll know he's someone who doesn't care about power.
Name? He doesn't even care what others think of him.
What else is there?
Krydella remained silent for a long time.
She found that she didn't have an answer yet, but she also found that she wasn't in a hurry.
Since this person took the initiative to come to Onfaros, took the initiative to help her fight the Suspended Man, and took the initiative to plant those seeds in the basin, he must have his own reasons.
All she needed to do was find that reason.
Inside the bathhouse, Ti Bao and the other two were still standing there, their expressions of being stunned by Lin Si's words about "a place to stay" not yet completely gone.
Lin Si breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing their reactions.
He guessed right.
In a chaotic world, a loyal and devoted warrior saves the world—all the essential elements are there.
Think about Cao Cao and Xu Chu, and you'll understand why he was able to guess it.
A bodyguard who follows a monarch in chaotic times often seeks not wealth and power, but rather a sense of belonging.
The term 'place of refuge' satisfies two meanings simultaneously: it is both a physical place of shelter and a spiritual place of belonging.
"call!"
Tibao was the first to break the silence.
She patted her small chest, let out a long breath, and her expression changed from tense to relieved.
"You scared me to death, little Caesar!"
Her voice regained its lively tone.
"I'm glad you're alright!"
Aglaia remained lost in thought. Her gaze lingered on Lin Si's face for a few seconds, as if reassessing something, before she lowered her eyes slightly and remained silent.
Heather's furrowed brows relaxed a little, but not completely.
Her fingers had completely loosened their grip on the sword hilt, but her gaze towards Lin Si still carried a hint of 'not having completely let her guard down'.
Lin Si chuckled softly.
"so,"
He stood up and faced them.
"Do you know what Caesar's true identity is now?"
He paused for a moment, then pointed to himself, Tibo, Aglaia, and Heather in turn.
"Caesar is the one who brings hope and justice to Ohma."
"I can be Caesar, you can be Caesar, and she can be Caesar."
“Anyone in Ohma, anyone in Ompharos, can be Caesar.”
He lowered his hand and calmly looked at the three of them.
"Therefore, although the Caesar of today is not the Caesar you know, he is still Caesar."
"Sword Banner Lord,"
His gaze fell on Hathaway's face.
"That's what I meant when I said those things to Serones."
"Time may fade Cephalo's achievements, but time will also prove that Cephalo will never be forgotten!"
"........."
The bathhouse was quiet.
Crydela opened her mouth in her mind, then closed it again.
"..."
He used all my words!
mine!
She shouted in her heart, but the corners of her mouth involuntarily curved slightly.
Caesar, the meaning of her ascension to the throne, the meaning of her life's pursuit, was to enable everyone to become 'Caesar' and live for themselves.
Therefore, she would rather be forgotten than defined.
Because no one can define everyone.
Only humans themselves can write the rules of history.
In her heart, the word 'Caesar' would one day represent 'shattering divine authority and enabling people to freely control their own destiny'.
She has that confidence.
But now this demon king has revealed it all.
What will she say in the future?
She thought about it for a long time.
Then, a sentence slowly took shape in her mind.
"History will one day forget Crydela, but it will never forget Caesar's people!"
She was stunned for a moment after saying that.
Then she smiled.
She discovered that this demon king seemed to understand her very well.
It's not the kind of understanding that comes from 'studying her life' or 'reading her materials'.
Rather, it's a deeper, more intimate understanding, like the tacit agreement between people standing on the same land, looking in the same direction.
It's like... another version of yourself in the same world.
She took this idea, the meaning she pursued in her life, as something 'taken for granted'.
It's as if the world is meant to be this way.
"Demon King, Caesar must have you."
Krydela whispered in the depths of her consciousness.
Lin Si was unaware that he had been targeted by a 'game character'.
He looked at the stunned expressions on Ti Bao and the other two's faces, his lips curled slightly, and then he nodded a little.
The first 'difficult plot point' has been resolved, so it's time to go offline.
It can't be said that it's completely solved, but only temporarily.
They will still have doubts, but at least for the short term, they will not take any further action.
But Lin Si also achieved her goal.
He wants to pass the test of Onfaros in fifteen days. As long as they don't trip her up within those fifteen days, it will be fine.
Tibo blinked, and before she could say anything, she saw Caesar pause for a moment by the bathtub. Then, his calm expression spread out like ripples on the water, replaced by a completely different, deeper, and more majestic aura.
Crydella is back.
She stood by the bathtub, arms crossed, her gaze sweeping over Tibo, Aglaia, and Hazel in turn.
"What are you still standing there for?"
Her voice regained the composure and calmness that belonged to Caesar.
