Reject me, you damn woman.

At this moment, a calm voice sounded.

Just before the three eighth-level warriors were about to start a confrontation, a figure walked in leisurely from outside. After a night of fierce fighting, Lin En looked elegant, and even the corners of his dress were not dirty at all. He even wore the popular round-brimmed hat and silver-studded cane.

He didn't look like a man who had been fighting all night, but rather like a dandy young man who was about to sit in the front row of a concert or opera.

In response, Lily, who was living in Lin En's right hand, just curled her lips.

You look very handsome now when you are showing off, but when you use the divine power to speed up your journey, you look a little embarrassed.

"Are you Lynn Norton? You've arrived at the perfect time."

Mordiana licked her lips.

She hasn't forgotten her promise.

When she was watching from afar at the ball, she just thought that this prince was quite pleasing to the eye, but now that she saw him up close, she was even more jealous.

She couldn't wait to see the time when Divira could only watch her toy with her favorite child at will.

It is Lin En's honor to have the favor of him.

"You came back so quickly."

The empress still had no expression on her face, as if Lin En's arrival was just a trivial matter. She just silently allocated some of her energy to protect him, to prevent him from being crushed by the confrontation between the three eight-ring professionals.

"Your Majesty, I just rushed back after casually destroying a small singularity that tried to murder you."

Lin En bowed and saluted the empress.

"Oh? Little Singularity, it was you who destroyed my Shadow Singularity?"

Mordiana suddenly raised her eyebrows.

"Yes, what's the problem?"

Lin En turned his head and looked at the other party, spreading his hands seriously and said,

"I have never seen such a low-level spatial singularity before. It can be easily destroyed by an arcanist like me. By the way, I am only at the third ring level~"

Seeing Lin En holding out three fingers and shaking them, Mordiana suddenly laughed softly after a brief silence.

Mordiana felt her body temperature rising.

I was not mistaken.

I am more interested in this prince!

I can’t stand it anymore, I can’t bear it anymore, I want Linn, I want him, I want…

Should he pour an entire volume of shadow power into his magic web, or simply throw this elegant prince into the shadow world until he mutates?

In an instant, Mordiana's momentum suddenly rose, and the originally delicately balanced state was instantly broken!

"Your Highness, you are a sharp-tongued prince. But you should get out now. I hope that after everything is over, your flexible tongue can still make me happy like it does now~"

With a smile on her lips, Mordiana walked towards the empress alone.

She said at the beginning that the red dragon was her prey, and Reinhardt was just an old dog who had defected to the Magic Bell Tower. Mordiana would not allow him to interfere with her hunting.

But now, after Lin En appeared, he did have some use. He could be responsible for keeping an eye on the interesting prince. Otherwise, it would not be fun if Lin En was killed by the aftermath of the battle.

"Reinhardt, do it."

Mordiana was stunned for a moment.

Because when she gave the order to Reinhardt, a voice sounded almost at the same time as her own. She subconsciously looked at the source of the order. It was Lin En who was standing in the distance, looking at this side with a smile, looking radiant as if she had come to watch an opera performance.

Doubts and warnings suddenly arose in her heart. However, just before those thoughts were about to materialize...

"puff!"

A broad-bladed giant sword that was so wide that it almost pierced Mordiana from the chest to the lower abdomen at the same time instantly pierced through the shadow's defense and passed through the body.

"Ahem... ahem,"

The Shadow Queen's eyes were filled with disbelief. She turned her head slightly and tried hard to look back.

"You...old dog!"

She had been on guard against this "surrendered" Duke, but she didn't expect that the combination of his body shape and the weapon he used would allow him to stab so fast and so... fiercely!

In a split second, between carelessness, I have already exerted all my strength...

It's just like... a lion hunting!

The Duke of the North was silent and reserved. Apart from his tall stature, he seemed to have nothing to do with the word "lion". His face was expressionless, but the muscles all over his body were bulging and knotted, making the armor under his robe clang.

The azure blue fighting spirit wrapped around the giant sword that almost pierced Mordiana in half, and as its master operated, it suddenly exerted force and rushed forward!

“This is our country,”

The old lion's eyes widened with anger, and the huge sword splashed a large amount of blood.

"You are the ones who should get out!"

"........."

Now, the absolute protagonist, the Empress, who was originally preparing to have a big fight with two powerful enemies, suddenly became an outsider. Her Majesty the Empress felt a little embarrassed and didn't know what expression to use to face this situation.

Her Majesty even felt that she was a bit redundant...

Therefore, she wisely looked at her son who had just burst into the hall.

Lynn was seen holding his top hat with one hand and holding his cane with the other hand while covering his eyes to block the splattering blood. His eyes were bright and full of excitement.

Backstab!

My favorite part, luckily I made it.

Quinn didn't see this.

I guess I'm going to cry~

........

ps: I'm sorry everyone, although today's update has caught up, it is still very unstable, and it may not be stable even in the future. I have been thinking about it for a long time, and I didn't want to say it, but I was afraid that some good brothers would think I was going to run away. Road, let’s talk about it.

There were some changes in the author's family. The author's father was hospitalized and underwent a major operation. His mother has dropped everything and stayed at the hospital day and night to take care of him. The author also tries his best to help his mother share the pressure every day. The time when he writes the most is only at night, and it is difficult to keep the updates stable. Please understand. Even if I cannot understand, the author also understands. After all, everyone comes to read the novel, not to see the author complain and make excuses, so I didn't want to say it at the beginning.

The author believes that no one would joke about the health of their parents. The experiences of the past few days really seem like a dream. I don’t know why such a thing happened in my family, but please believe that the young author will not run away.

To put it bluntly, even if I am willing to give up the proceeds from my book and the account I have used for a long time, I am the only one in the family who can make money for the time being, right?

I'm sorry for disturbing everyone's mood. I won't say such spoiling words again in the future. I'm just sorry to all the readers who are following and waiting for updates.

Chapter 130: The part that Lin En prefers more (5k)

The long-dormant lion showed his fangs at this moment.

However, the person pierced by the long-dormant giant sword "Lion's Tooth" was beyond everyone's expectations.

Reinhardt's timing of action was very precise. It was the moment before Mordiana circulated her magic power to prepare for a head-on fight with the Empress, and it was also the moment when her defense against herself was the least relaxed.

And the aura emanating from his body was not the seventh-level peak, second only to the empress, as reported in the intelligence.

But it’s the real deal—level eight!

The peak level of human strength, any further up, is a realm that only gods can set foot in.

An eighth-level knight put aside his pride and honor, found the opponent's weakness and launched a sneak attack with all his might!

The shock and destructive power caused can be imagined.

Mordiana, who is considered tall among women, is just a little girl in front of the old lion Reinhardt. The giant sword lifts up the Shadow Queen like threading a candied haws, and the latter has not given up resistance yet.

For an arcanist, temporary failure is inevitable, but as long as he recites the spell, mobilizes the magic power, and pries the magic network, the ever-changing shadow arcane will not necessarily fail!

Just before Mordiana uttered the first syllable of the secret spell,

boom!

Reinhardt turned 180 degrees and stabbed Mordiana's giant sword, then slammed her head down to the ground, sending shattered pieces of the solid marble floor flying.

But that's just the beginning!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Reinhardt kept moving. The huge lion-tooth sword seemed to have become the arm of a giant, and he threw Mordiana, who was in his palm, hard to the ground.

Protection magic can protect your body, but what about concussion?

This funny and violent scene was played out in the hall.

The invincible empress was stunned. Mordiana, who was pierced through the chest and abdomen and thrown to the ground again and again, spat out a mouthful of blood containing the broken thief, her face full of disbelief. The old lion remained expressionless. Only Lin En narrowed his eyes with satisfaction, as if everything was within his expectations.

However, Theresa, who was the only one who could share most of the perspective with him, saw that his right hand, which had been tightly holding the cane, finally relaxed a little, and his back was already soaked.

Before returning to the dance hall, Lin En had said that he was going to make the only gamble of the night, and now, Theresa knew that Lin En had won the bet.

It's unbelievable. The extremely precious ring-level arcanist in the Magic Bell Tower is definitely not an idiot. The Duke of the North who has guarded the North for decades for Zijinhua rebelled. It must be that the two sides have a very deep connection to reach a consensus.

As for Lynn, apart from that unexpected encounter and the dance at Eden College, they had only met each other twice, not to mention that they had no private communication. But relying on these two meetings, he actually won the bet that the old lion would defect at the critical moment.

How did he know?

It couldn't be true as Lin En said, that in addition to the Holy Light, the Moon and the Earth Mother, even the Goddess of Luck was favoring this yellow-haired prince? !

As long as you hug enough goddesses at the same time, the goddesses will rush to grab you. Is what this guy said true?

Theresa felt as if her common sense had been challenged.

The empress's figure flashed across the ashes of the burnt throne and came to Lin En's side.

"well done."

The empress did not turn her head, but there was a hint of praise in her calm voice.

Lin En just curled his lips:

"You should praise your subordinates, but when you don't know how to praise them, just say 'well done'. This is what Quinn advised you, by the way, I told her this."

Her Majesty did not refute, and acquiesced to this statement, but she immediately said: "You have indeed made an invaluable contribution to the empire in getting rid of Mordiana. I can satisfy any reward you want."

"You are so polite, mother. It's a bit early to open the champagne at halftime. Get ready, Your Majesty. You need to know how to be a qualified boss."

Lynn smiled, showing her teeth, meaningfully.

“There are two stages.”

As if responding to Lin's words, Reinhardt, who was smashing Mordiana with the giant sword, suddenly stopped.

On the blade of the giant sword, the shadow queen who was originally pierced on it has disappeared, and in her place is a demon creature that has been almost crushed into a meat ball by brute force, and its original form is no longer known.

Shadow world stand-in magic!

This is a highly practical forbidden shadow magic technique. An arcane sorcerer who has the power to travel through the shadow world can connect his fate with that of a creature in the shadow world in advance, and in times of crisis, let the connected shadow creature bear his own "fate".

However, the cost is extremely high. The materials and expenses consumed are astronomical. In addition, the method is extremely cruel and the failure rate is ridiculously high. Basically no one can afford this forbidden technique.

But Mordiana, known as the Shadow Queen, certainly can afford it!

He used the shadow world creatures that had been set up early in the morning to bear his own injuries, and Mordiana, the real body of the Shadow Queen, took the opportunity to return to her "subjects".

The shadows in the entire hall suddenly twisted and stirred, and finally merged into the shape of a woman who was holding her forehead with one hand and breathing heavily.

As the woman's breathing rose and fell, the shadows in the entire hall shrank, as if a huge heart was beating in the shadows.

"How dare you make me so embarrassed......"

"I want you to die!!!"

Lin En stepped back slightly, to the opposite direction where the shadow appeared, and protected the Empress mother in front of him.

The empress, however, remained expressionless and did not express any dissatisfaction with Lin En's behavior.

After a coma in childhood, her son seemed like a different person. Sometimes he would say some inexplicable words. Even Novi, who was closest to him, sometimes could not understand the full meaning of Lin En's words. The empress could not understand it either.

Fortunately, Her Majesty the Empress is not a person who is good at using her brain.

She is good at expressing her emotions in more direct ways.

"She doesn't have a second stage."

"Oh?"

Lin En raised an eyebrow and looked at the Empress Mother.
