Reject me, you damn woman.

"It's actually..."

Lynn looked solemn.

This communication crystal comes from Shadow Knight, the only force and team in the entire Rose City that directly belongs to Lin En. Lin En previously entrusted the other party to continue investigating some things, and today just happened to have some clues?

No way?

What a coincidence.......

"I changed my mind. I want to go out for a while."

Lynn stood up and lifted up his coat.

"I want to go with you!"

Historia followed immediately.

"No."

Lynn refused almost subconsciously, then he saw Historia's disappointed but determined expression and was slightly startled.

The same thing happened to Elena last night and Historia today.

They have been changing for themselves. Maybe, I should also change for them and trust them more.

"I went to the Shadow Knight's place and only collected some new information about His Highness Zevis. I will be back soon."

Lin En, who was about to leave immediately, turned back and explained.

"Okay...but there's still the matter of Brother Xevis? I thought it was over after he died."

Historia showed a look of doubt and uncertainty.

However, this was mainly because Lin En actually told him his whereabouts for a real reason. As for whether Xervis was dead or not, Historia might not care at all. It was just a case of brotherly kindness and filial piety.

"Yes, His Highness Zevis should definitely be dead. We saw it together, but what I care about is the supporters behind him."

Lynn explained:

"Since the death of His Highness Zevis, almost all the blasphemers have disappeared. At the trial, the people attributed this to me killing the culprit, His Highness Zevis. However, the hyena pack would be temporarily weakened by the death of the Dog King, and would not disappear directly. However, they disappeared abnormally, without a single one left, as if they were well-trained. This can only mean one thing..."

"That means the one who died might not be the Alpha Wolf at all!"

Historia's pupils shrank slightly.

Lin En narrowed his eyes and nodded:

"Yes, I have been asking my most trusted shadow knight to investigate the news about the missing blasphemers. I thought there might not be any results until everything is over, but today's harvest is really surprising. I feel that the truth of everything is very close."

He hadn't said half a sentence yet.

That is, since your friends' words are always evasive and cannot be trusted for various purposes, why not try it from your enemies?

After all, the person who knows you best may not be your friend, but your enemy.

.........

Not long after, in the Shadow Knight's secret base.

"Your Highness!"

"Your Highness Lin En, you are here."

Passing through the deep tunnel, Lynn and Historia, led by a shadow knight, walked directly from an inconspicuous shanty house into a deep dungeon.

The dungeon air with an unknown sticky fishy smell rushed straight into Lin En's mouth and nose, making him feel particularly uncomfortable because his sense of smell had been enhanced by dragon blood.

The screams of the prisoners and the sounds of cruel torture were heard constantly.

"You're going to tell me or not, tell me or not!"

"I said, why don't you ask!"

"Hehe, don't say anything yet. We have injured several of our brothers in order to catch you. I will beat you up first to satisfy your desire before you say anything."

"Stop licking it, stop licking it, that's where you pee!"

"Don't... you bastard, I can't persuade you anymore. You like to act crazy, don't you? Come on, bring me a toilet. I ate too much this morning. I'll give this bastard some dry food!"

Listening to these intimate interrogations, Historia couldn't help but move a little closer to Lynn.

Lin En couldn't help but sigh that it was natural for a dungeon of this scale to be built in the capital of other countries, and it was natural for there to be so many talented people there.

The average mental state of this generation of Shadow Knights is similar to that of their leader Quinn.

However, perhaps it is precisely because of the dedication of these demons and lunatics that the purple gold flower can bloom brilliantly and prosper forever.

Just as the purpose of Shadow Knight is to fight darkness with darkness, the only thing that can fight madness is madness.

This generation of Shadow Knights, under the leadership of Quinn, already has talents such as the heavy tank knight Olar, the writer Granny, and Vizhikong Novi, so their future is really bright.

Finally, the two arrived at the door of the deepest cell.

At this time, several familiar faces were gathering in front of the cell, including Lynn's personal bodyguard and coachman Granny, the head of the Fire Rose branch, a taciturn guy, and Lambert, the bodyguard who had just been chosen by Lynn to join the gang some time ago.

Because of his outstanding performance and his desire for money, the guard was promoted quickly among the Shadow Knights.

"Hey, isn't this His Royal Highness the Prince? You're finally here!"

As soon as he saw Lynn, Lambert greeted her in a sarcastic tone.

The guard's casualness is also his characteristic. It is precisely because of this that Lin En values ​​him.

So in the face of the other party's ridicule, Lin En just looked him up and down, then smiled coldly:

"A virgin."

"How the hell did you figure that out... No, you're the one talking nonsense! Aren't you a kid?"

Ignoring the guard's blushing defense, Lynn sneered and looked directly at the branch director, starting a discussion with him.

Granny poked Lambert secretly:

"Do you feel that His Highness is a little different today?"

"What's the difference? He's still so handsome that it's annoying!"

"I can't really put it into words, but I just feel that Your Highness... looks refreshed, and even more charming."

Granny hesitated.

Lambert snorted coldly:

"I don't know about that. I only know that he's talking nonsense. I'm not a virgin!"

Granny rolled his eyes at him:

"Cold knowledge: only mentally ill people would try hard to prove that they are not mentally ill. Lies don't hurt people, the truth is the sharpest knife."

"........."

"Any results?"

Lynn asked.

"Not very optimistic. His mental barriers are too thick. It seems that someone has tampered with him. It is difficult for us to get any useful feedback."

The Shadow Knight branch chief named Didok shook his head and pointed inside the cell.

He was a thin and gloomy bald man with dark circles under his eyes, purple lips and eye bags, drooling all over. He was tied to a chair covered with talismans and shivering constantly. What was worrying was that he had some angel and church divine characters tattooed on his body, which was clearly a sign that the church was a fanatic.

A short, hunchbacked man was adjusting the spells on the chairs.

Lambert snorted:

"This person's code name is 'Bishop'. He was originally a believer in the Earth Mother Church. One day, someone forced him to drink two taels of wine, which broke his alcohol ban. From then on, he couldn't stop. He broke all the rules one after another and became a corrupt person. He likes to read and write scriptures for the victims the most."

"Is reading the Bible also persecution? Isn't this too cruel to him?"

Historia couldn't help but ask.

"You are wrong, my Lord,"

Lambert gnashed his teeth.

"The bishop's favorite thing is to skin his victims alive while reading the scriptures, write on their skin, and ask them to eat it. We have hardly gained anything during this period. The reason we caught him was because he couldn't help himself. When we caught him, this bastard was following us and was about to attack a girl who kindly mistook him for a beggar and gave him a piece of bread!"

Historia's face darkened immediately:

"Damn it, you guys were so gentle with him. I think this scum should be chemically castrated right away!"

"We will complete it physically when it's done, but it's not done yet. It took us a long time to get him almost into a dream state. I'm afraid the pain will make him more awake!"

Lambert sighed.

After hearing this, the short man who was fiddling with the spells with his head down glanced over here:

"What are you arguing about? Aren't we in the interrogation department already trying our best? But this guy's mental barrier was set up by a powerful Beyonder. It can only be broken quickly by someone who is proficient in both divine arts and mental or illusion-based arcane arts. What can I do?"

Branch Chief Deco sighed and explained to Historia:

"Your Highness Historia, we also want to give this bastard the punishment he deserves, but unfortunately, due to religious reasons, it is very rare to find people who are good at divine arts within the Purple Gold Flower, let alone those who practice both. As for the psychic or illusion arcane masters, the strongest one we can get is the fourth-ring interrogator, and the bishop himself is also a fourth-ring, so it is a bit difficult. It is not against the rules to say that it is difficult to move forward."

"So it needs to be someone above the fourth level, who can use mind or illusion arcane and divine magic at the same time?"

A voice suddenly asked.

Dicko nodded slowly:

"Yes, but it is almost impossible to satisfy all of them at the same time..."

Dickdo was stunned, and then everyone turned their heads to look at Lin En, who was standing there, staring at the prisoner without saying a word.

He slowly spread out his hands, and green whirlwinds, burning flames, and silver phantoms appeared in his palms at the same time. Of course, the most eye-catching thing was a point of blazing white holy light in the center of the three elements.

“Here it is.”

Three, three attributes?!

Everyone looked at each other and saw incomparable shock in each other's eyes.

.........

ps: I recommend a book by Good Pigeons, a novel about Honkai Impact 3rd, of very high quality, it has been widely read, you can check it out!

Chapter 234: Lin En's classic face-to-face with the boss

Generally speaking, in pursuit of perfection, most arcanists will choose the attribute that best suits them as their practice route.

Those who are extremely talented and do not pursue ultimate power will develop a second attribute after the fourth ring as an auxiliary reinforcement or a hidden killer.

For example, Historia's sister Hilteria is a dual-attribute arcanist who specializes in fire arcana and mental arcana. This allows this straightforward princess to strike directly into the hearts of people in areas she is not good at in a way that is almost cheating.

Ailijia's combination of ice and snow and prophecy also allowed her to become a distinguished Fire Rose Palace arcanist at a young age.

In the field of arcanists, a single attribute is the ultimate, and dual attributes are cost-effective. This is the most basic consensus.

As for three attributes, some of them are acceptable but not necessary, four are pure acrobatics, and five are simply flashy garbage.

Human energy is limited. The more talented the spellcaster is, the more he will realize his own insignificance after witnessing the greatness of the magic network. It is already as difficult as ascending to heaven to just pursue one path.

Even the proud Twelve Ring Capitals of the Magic Clock Tower cannot violate this iron rule. They are twelve demigod-level arcanists who have reached the pinnacle in their respective magical paths.

Therefore, when Lin En displayed three attributes at the same time, everyone present was sincerely puzzled.

As the prince of Purple Gold Flower, he really does not need to pursue the limit of personal strength, and Lin En's application of dual attributes is also very good. Not only can he perform powerful fusion arcane, but also has no obvious attribute bias, which shows that his energy and talent are more than enough to support both attributes.

But three attributes...is this prince biting off more than he can chew and wasting too much of his talent?

Developing new attributes can indeed enhance combat power in the short term, but from a long-term perspective, it will definitely do more harm than good. How could he be so short-sighted?

The surprise at the prince's choice even overshadowed why he could use divine magic.

The person who was most shocked was undoubtedly Historia. As Lynn's friend and rival, she was undoubtedly the one who least wanted to see Lynn go astray.

"Hey, what's wrong with you? Why did you secretly awaken your third attribute?"

Historija glared at Lynn, her expression seemed even more serious than when she was awakened.

"Something is wrong, Your Highness Historia, please wait a moment."

At this time, the Shadow Knight Division Chief Dickdo suddenly said that this division chief himself was also a fifth-ring level arcanist.

"Your Highness Lin En's three attribute strengths seem to be the same."

"So what if they're the same...the same?!"
