Reject me, you damn woman.

"Your Highness Lin En, please let me go. I was wrong. I was really wrong! I will repent!"

"No, no, no, Your Highness,"

Lynn smiled and replied:

"You're just scared to death."

The trigger was pulled and the scarlet flowers flew high.

The trial is over.

Chapter 204: Lin En just made the mistake that all men make

Shadow world, inside the ancient palace.

The everlasting mist and the howling evil wind.

The woman with an ordinary face, holding a warm-toned lantern, walked through the long dark corridor and came to the interior of the main hall of the most magnificent palace complex.

Different from the magnificent palaces in the real world, in the shadow world, the more gorgeous and bright something is, the darker and more dilapidated it seems to be, the more broken and twisted it becomes, as if the underlying rules of this world have some ill-intentioned and evil tastes.

The woman casually admired the surrounding scenery, nodding from time to time, as if through these hideous and twisted things, she could see the original splendor of these murals, colored lights and even the entire building.

Without lowering his head, he was able to step over the ruins in advance and paused slightly, just in time to avoid the aftermath of the evil wind from the shadow world.

She seemed to know exactly what she was about to encounter, because in her ordinary eyes, there was always a reflection of the light from the "stars", as if she could see through fate.

As she was about to step into the main hall, the woman, who seemed to have no hesitation in every step, stopped, raised her head slightly, and there was a hint of confusion in her eyes.

Because she had a premonition that fate was warning her that if she took one more step forward, her colleague would cut her into pieces.

Although the woman would not necessarily die in this situation, the feeling of being cut into pieces and feeling her limbs and muscles slowly being torn apart was not very pleasant. Therefore, she did not try to force her way into the main hall, but stood at the door, waiting for the owner's invitation.

"Who's out there?"

A sound as if carried by the wind came out from the hall.

"It's me, my people."

the woman replied.

"So it's you, the parasite."

The voice inside did not conceal its disdain and contempt.

The woman who was called a parasite was not angry at all. Instead, she tried to speak softly:

"It is I, my friend, who, according to the instructions of the Sages and the Great Pact between the Rings, has come at this time and will divine for you."

As she spoke, the silver thread representing the inextricable connection between the stars of destiny seemed to pass through the woman's eyes, and her identity was officially revealed:

Ring of foresight, worm of destiny.

This is an ancient ritual unique to the rings of the Magic Bell Tower. The ring that symbolizes foresight will go to the place where the great colleagues are when they are about to go to the battlefield of destiny and tell divination for them.

Even among the rings, no one knows when the ring that symbolizes destiny will arrive, perhaps before a great hunt, or perhaps before an ordinary arcane experiment tomorrow.

But every time it appears, it symbolizes that the fate of a ring will undergo a major change, and it is always accurate.

Even the rings are very secretive about this prophet who seems to only bring disasters, but at least they still maintain a minimum of respect for him because of the warning he can provide.

The last person to disdain the Worm of Fate and its prophecies was Mordiana, the youngest and most famous Shadow Ring Leader in the past hundred years.

But unfortunately, the person in the hall at this time seemed to be even more arrogant and presumptuous than the Shadow Ring at the beginning. She didn't even intend to open the door and let her colleague enter the room to face him face to face. An extremely disgusted voice came from inside:

"Go away, you creeper who can only plagiarize and spy on other people's fate. My fate is in my own hands. I don't need people like you to spy on me."

After being rejected in such a tone, the Destiny Bug showed no sign of being angry, as if this rejection was also part of her fate. She just nodded slightly:

"Okay, but there is one thing you will know soon. Let me tell you in advance. His Highness Zevis is dead."

"Zevus... His Highness, is he dead?"

The voice in the hall finally trembled slightly, but soon returned to calm.

"You don't seem to be very surprised by his death."

The worm path of destiny.

“I just don’t care anymore.”

The people in the hall said calmly,

"You should know that although our initial plan was to extract the secret fire from Bayer's bloodline as a second best option, after we truly knew how the fire was passed down, the success rate of that potentially foolish guess was infinitely close to zero, and I am still on the right track."

The Worm of Destiny did not say anything, obviously agreeing with this statement, and she nodded with "satisfaction".

"Well, my great companion, since everything is in your plan, we are relieved. Please be careful about this matter. After all... the fate of the secret fire may be related to our great third master, and it cannot be taken lightly."

"I see."

Hearing this reply, the Destiny Worm once again showed a relieved expression and prepared to turn around and leave.

But in fact, she was extremely pleased at the moment because she had a completely different way of expressing emotions from ordinary people.

Otherwise, ordinary users of prophecy abilities would probably be shocked to the point of being speechless after seeing such a dark, pure, and deadly fate.

It was like a dead guy, buried in the ground, talking to himself across the grave.

But unfortunately, due to the concealment and distrust of my colleague, I was unable to further complete my observation of her fate.

However, because of the previous experience of not reminding Mordiana of the change in fate in time, which led to her death, the Worm of Destiny decided to be "kind" and remind her companion.

Just as the woman's footsteps were getting farther and farther away from the hall, she suddenly turned her head and said casually, as if inadvertently and mischievously, "Oh, by the way, I suddenly remembered that I forgot to tell you that it was the prince of Zijinhua who killed His Highness Zevis, and his fate has begun to intersect with yours........."

puff!

It was just a moment, and the woman seemed to be crushed by an invisible pressure, exploding into a pool of scarlet flesh and blood. The lantern in her hand flew high, spun several times in the air, and finally fell heavily to the ground, breaking into countless pieces with a "bang". The fuel in the lamp flowed out, dripping from the staggered steps, making a ticking sound.

Until the moment she was crushed, the woman possessed by the worm of fate still had a confused expression on her face, as if she was surprised by her sudden death.

"I'm calling you, so stop talking, okay?"

Inside the main hall, the woman sitting on the decayed throne retracted her clenched fist and placed it back on the armrest of the chair.

"The prince of Zijinhua?"

Afterwards, she did not think about the impending danger from the warning "accidentally" revealed by the Fate Worm. Instead, she seemed to think of something happy and smiled with relief.

“Haha, hahahaha…”

The laughter echoed in the deserted and dilapidated palace. Hundreds of black-robed men, tall and short, fat and thin, male and female, old and young, who were standing in an orderly manner in the hall, flew over the head, looking extremely strange.

.........

Although Lin En was included that day, there were only five people present at His Highness Zevis's temporary court that day.

But as expected, the news that His Highness Zeves had fallen quickly spread.

While countless people were re-evaluating the strength of the sister union of Historia and Hilteria, they also had to sigh about one thing.

It is said that behind every successful man there is a woman, but it turns out that there can be a man between two successful women.

That man really did what he said and helped the last princess, Princess Historia, successfully move up one spot in the Crown Prince Tournament.

Whether this is just the beginning remains to be seen.

There were many different opinions on this at the time.

There were even rumors that it was the Purple Gold Flower Prince who voluntarily offered his strong and heroic body to bring two sisters who had nothing in common together.

However, while those with a poor political sense are still lamenting the decline of morals and spreading ambiguous gossip, the guys with a really sensitive nose have already started making a purple gold flower national flag at home overnight.

Fortunately, after Prince Zevis left the stage, the sister duo also disbanded. Otherwise, at least the remaining two princes would have trouble sleeping every night.

As for Lin En himself, he didn't take this matter too seriously. After executing Prince Zevis, he even unexpectedly became more free.

The church was only responsible for dealing with blasphemers, and with the death of Prince Zevis, those blasphemers seemed to melt and disappear in the night of Rose City. The church then returned to being a judge and no longer interfered in the selection of the crown princes.

As for the witch Salina, she is very likely to have been by the side of a ring-level expert. Even if she is a sixth-level professional, in order to ensure her safety, she usually contacts Lin En unilaterally before the two can communicate.

Now, the other party has also fallen into a temporary silence.

The person who gained the most from this cooperation must be Her Highness the great female demon Hilteria.

Zeves's hidden forces are more numerous than imagined. Those things are useless to Lin, and Historia will not take them, so naturally all of them are taken by Historia as rewards for the alliance. Even Historia himself and the shadow knight team under Lin were borrowed by the other party to fill the gaps.

This was also the main reason why Lin En decided to give himself a short break and relax during this period of time. He was even able to take a comfortable hot bath in the bathroom of the villa for the first time in a long time.

Of course, this is also the last day. Starting tomorrow, he will go to meet the person he should have met a long time ago, and enter the final and perhaps the most difficult stage of this Fire Rose journey.

Maybe, I will face that person Huan directly.

Shaking his head and smiling, Lin En decided not to think about it too much.

Tomorrow's matters will naturally be dealt with tomorrow, and now, Lin En just wants to have a final relaxation with the sea salt bath and rose petals that Elena prepared for him.

"Speaking of which, how could there be such a strange person?"

The mark of the heroic spirit on her arm was vibrating, and Lily recalled with difficulty:

"You said 'Norton, I will never help you again', and at the same time you dragged the little princess to your side and educated her in the name of helping her. Isn't this helping your opponent in disguise?"

"That's what tsundere is like."

Lin En said comfortably while soaking in the pool.

If this were not the case, Lynn would not have agreed to lend Shadow Knight to Historia. This was both a reward for his guidance of Historia and a form of protection for the latter.

"Oh, it sounds like you understand a lot?"

Lily raised an eyebrow.

"Of course, no one knows tsundere better than me."

"Haha, that's true. But you are worthy of being like that, Lin En. You can even correct a tsundere."

"What do you mean?"

"Of course it's the little princess. I still vaguely remember how she looked in the academy. She would always put on a sullen face no matter how happy she was when she saw you. She would always deliberately reject your invitation and then regret it secretly. Haven't you noticed that she is less and less arrogant towards you now? Congratulations, Lin En!"

"Don't... don't say that anymore."

"?"

Although she didn't know why, Lily felt an extremely sincere heartache from Lin En through the soul perception between the heroic spirit and the host.

It's as if I lost something important.

He must have felt guilty and regretful for having forcibly changed the little princess's personality.

Humph, you mock this tsundere and that tsundere, but aren’t you the biggest tsundere?

Lily in the mark grinned and shook her head.

She decided to cooperate with this arrogant guy and change the subject.

Immediately, Lily murmured somewhat unintentionally:

"Uh, the Fire Rose Royal Family can't really be full of tsunderes, right? I really don't know what kind of father the current Rose Emperor is to have so many children like him."

Her words immediately made Lin En, who was originally enjoying his bath, fall into deep thought.

This is really a topic I have never imagined.

If you really count carefully, the Fire Rose Empire, including the dead Prince Zevis, has six crown princes, especially among the three sisters, the sisters Hilteria and Historia are undoubtedly standard tsunderes. Only Prince Hedwig, who did not inherit the blood of Bayer, is a normal person.

In a sense, among the princes, isn’t His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince Berens, the hot-tempered boy who swears every day, also a kind of tsundere?

Three of the six offspring have tsundere traits, which really makes Lin En wonder if this is a genetic problem.

Lin En was really a little scared. When he defeated all the kings and brought His Highness Historia to the old king, a muscular old man with a beard crossed his arms and said:

"Humph, Prince of Zijinhua, do you think I will thank you if you help my daughter?"

This kind of female Lao Deng art is still a bit too advanced for Lynn...

But then again, when I first arrived in this country, I was thinking that if it was truly hopeless, I would completely tear it down and then rebuild it from scratch. But in the end, I found myself trying hard to help them catch the traitors within and fight the foreign invaders.

This was no longer a matter of just one night with the three sisters. Lin En felt that she had lost out by spending one night with them. At least...

"Boom boom boom!"

At this moment, there was a knock on the bathroom door.
