Reject me, you damn woman.

not to mention--

The Heroic Kings exchanged glances quietly.

You know, it's not just Rudolf. In fact, the five Heroic Kings who participated in the trial were all optimistic about the two after appreciating their cooperation.

Behind this descendant of mine, there are five heroic spirits!

Can you still lose?

If you’re capable, there’s a group of heroic spirits behind that blind rival!

Rudolf stood out from the crowd of kings with a smile on his face:

"Then I will open the portal back to the throne room now and send you back...Huh?"

At this moment, Rudolph suddenly uttered a light exclamation and pointed casually.

There was a sudden "pop" sound on Lin En's shoulder, and a golden button on the collar broke away from its original position and flew into the hands of the King of Heroes.

"What's wrong?"

Lynn asked curiously.

"Interesting, this little thing is actually a strange thing."

Rudolph said.

"Strange object?"

Linn frowned slightly.

"Yes, and I guess this thing is not prepared by you. Can I take it apart and have a look?"

The Fire Lord asked.

Lynn nodded.

Although he was carrying some life-saving items, Lin En was very sure of the purpose and location of each item, but this small button was definitely not one of them.

Lynn couldn't help but frown.

It's strange. All of my clothes were prepared by Elena herself. Even the Shadow Knight and Princess Historia's servants had no chance to touch them. Yet, someone had secretly placed this rare item there. If it weren't for the King of Heroes' reminder, it wouldn't have been discovered. It's really scary.

Could it be that...the spies in the Magic Clock Tower have become so cunning!

It turns out that I was not vigilant enough!

Lin En clenched his fists with lingering fear.

As Rudolf's fingertips moved, countless streams of light disassembled the buttons. A button that was only the size of a thumb was disassembled into dozens of precise parts, and the total number of parts continued to increase as the King of Heroes decomposed it!

"interesting."

The eyes of the King of Heroes became brighter. Although with his status and experience, he had seen many powerful objects that could destroy a city in an instant, but this small button object was already interesting enough.

With such precise production and accurate use of every inch of space, this is no longer just an ordinary wonder, it is simply a work of art.

The King of Heroes is certain that although the level of the maker of the magic items is not high, he is definitely a rare genius in the world in making magic items. It is as if he can listen to the sounds of these magic parts!

"What is the function of this strange object?"

Lynn asked.

"Locate, hide, hide, hide, hide, hide, locate, hide..."

"Your Highness Rudolf?"

"Ok?"

"Are you stuck?"

"?"

"Well, I mean, if there are only two functions, wouldn't it be okay if we didn't repeat it so many times?"

Lynn coughed lightly.

"Although I don't understand what you said, I can understand your meaning, Your Highness Lin En."

The Fire King shook his head, flicking his fingertips and continuing to unbutton.

"But I did not repeat myself. I was just explaining it truthfully. This small artifact actually has more than a dozen overlapping arcane arrays engraved inside. Most of them are used to enhance the concealment function, and the remaining core arrays are used for positioning. When they are running together, they are very concealed. If it weren't for the abnormal fluctuations that were just exposed, even I wouldn't be able to detect it."

"However, I am sure of one thing: the owner of this rare object is on your side."

Lynn and Hedwig looked at each other, and both saw confusion in each other's eyes.

Spying on Lin En, yet standing on Lin En’s side?

"See for yourselves."

As he spoke, the Heroic King pointed with his finger.

The disassembled formation was emitting magical power in a certain order, and it was this flickering that interrupted its originally constructed hiding ability that even the King of Heroes could hardly detect.

However, if one interprets this flickering wave according to a common secret text analysis method on the continent, one can obtain a secret text:

"Danger, don't come back!"

What dangers are there in the outside world at this time?

Hedwig couldn't help but let out a wry smile.

There is no doubt that the other crown princes, nobles, and even court mages have already learned of Lynn and Hedwig's "betrayal".

Especially Xia, she must be very sad.

It’s finally here, the time has come for the “truth” that backstabbed everyone to be revealed.

But the saddest thing should be...

She subconsciously looked at Lin En, but couldn't help but be stunned.

Because if Hedwig was not mistaken, Lynn's smile at this moment had little to do with sadness, so why was he... a little excited?

It’s finally here, the long-awaited backstab moment!

Lynn could hardly hold back her laughter again.

Eh.....why do you say again?

Today is the little author’s birthday, so it’s not too much to ask for a little day off, right?

6k update will be moved to tomorrow morning at o'clock~

Thank you all, I love you~?(^?^*)?(^?^*)?(^?^*)?(^?^*)?(^?^*)?(^?^*)?(^?^*)?(^?^*)?(^?^*)?(^?^*)?(^?^*)

Chapter 221: Backstab! But the stab is a little crooked

Inside the Firelink Shrine, the heroic spirits and the two humans looked at each other in silence.

"Your Majesty, do you have the ability to know what is happening in the outside world?"

Lynn suddenly asked.

Although he still had some magic crystals and strange objects that could communicate with the outside world, as expected, they were all ineffective, and he believed that the same was true for Hedwig.

However, the Fire Lords shook their heads.

"I'm sorry, kid. The dead shouldn't interfere too much in the world of the living. What's more, the youngest among us have been dead for more than a hundred years. Even if there are any last resorts left, I'm afraid they have all returned to dust after so many changes."

There was apology in Rudolph's deep voice.

"But I have a suggestion for you."

he said again.

"What advice?"

Lynn asked.

"I suggest that you stay in the secret realm for a while and leave after waiting for a while."

Rudolph said.

The Fire King lowered his gaze to look at the parts matrix floating in front of everyone.

At this moment, the magic matrix that was disassembled from the button was still flashing with light and fire, constantly repeating the secret command:

“Don’t come back!”

“Don’t come back!”

“Don’t come back!”

........

The essence of the Fire Secret Realm is actually another secret space realm that extends out on its own beside the crack between the thrones. It is a completely different world from the real world.

It is not so easy to communicate through the wall between the two worlds.

Therefore, it also makes it more obvious that this barrier that can penetrate the world and warn Lin En and the others is very magical, and that the changes and dangers in the outside world are probably extraordinary.

This suggestion from the Heroic King is very pertinent.

Although the act of stealing fire was not right, with the help of Hedwig's reasoning and Lily's physics, the Heroic Kings had accepted their motives and acknowledged their trial.

In other words, the two have passed the test of the secret realm. Although it is difficult to enter the secret realm, there are no requirements to leave.

The two of them can stay as long as they want.

Compared to leaving now when there are unknown dangers outside, it is obviously more rational and correct for the two to wait for a while and make adequate preparations, or wait until the danger is over and the anger of the people has subsided before showing up and explaining everything.

In fact, Hedwig and Lynn were not idiots. They had thought of this possibility a long time ago.

You know, the current situation of the two people is not as simple as missing.

But... treason.

Anyone who dares to try to steal the most precious secret fire of Fire Rose will be immediately labeled a treason, even if he is a member of the royal family. And as an accomplice, Lin En, even if he is the crown prince of Purple Gold Flower, will at least be labeled a Class A war criminal who framed the relationship between the two countries.

It is conceivable how serious the situation outside is. From the perspective of the two of them, it seems that Rudolf's suggestion is the best choice.

However, there is no perfect choice for many things. Behind a seemingly better choice, there is often a corresponding price to pay.

Hedwig and Lin En could have waited in the secret realm until the crisis was over before leaving. In that case, the responsibilities that were originally supposed to be borne by the two of them would have been vacant.

The situation in Rose City seemed to have reached a balance at this time, but in fact, most of the factors were concentrated on the two people in the secret realm.

Lin En alone balanced the conflicts between the three princesses, the church, and the Shadow Knight, and facilitated the union of the three forces, making the remaining two princes afraid to act rashly.

The rest of the aristocratic factions in Rose City, as well as supernatural associations such as the Court Mage Guild, were able to maintain their peace for the sake of Princess Hedwig.

It is no exaggeration to say that if two people disappear together for more than one day, Rose City will be in chaos the next day, not to mention the magic clock tower hidden in the dark.

Not to mention, what Historia would think.

I thought one was my best sister, and the other was a friend I could trust without reservation, but they both betrayed me. Wouldn't I be so painful that I turned evil right there? !

From the perspective of both of them, this is the best choice, but from the perspective of the overall situation, this is the stupidest choice.

By then, I'm afraid there will be no way to calm everyone's anger except saving their lives.

No.....yes.

In an instant, Hedwig's mind flashed the collapsed palace, the crumbling sky, and the face of the Shadow of Chaos who slowly raised his head under the black robe.

If that future were to come, all he had to do was die and he could restore Lynn's reputation.

But the price was too high.

That's why Hedwig never mentioned this option.

Because the development of things was somewhat beyond her expectations and somewhat deviated from the original plan.

In the original plan, Hedwig's expected death should have come later.

At the very least, he had to hand over the secret fire and the truth of everything to Xia, and help Lin En clear his name, making him a hero and a bridge between the two countries, and then die as the source of all evil.

But now, the crisis seems to have arrived a little too early.

Hedwig looked at Lynn, and the Heroic Kings also looked at Lynn.
