Reject me, you damn woman.

Yes, in line with the habit of not putting all eggs in one basket, in addition to the Shadow Knight, Lin En also gave the same commission to the Witch.

After all, compared to the Shadow Knight who is restricted by various factors, the Witch, who has already infiltrated the blasphemous organization Dark Rose and acts more freely and powerfully, would be a waste if she were not used.

When it comes to business, Serena's tone is still charming and playful, but it is obviously much more formal:

"Because I'm just a mercenary, Dark Rose has concealed a considerable amount of information from me. I have also indirectly asked some other core members about the prophecy of destruction, but most of the members - even some perverts who are as powerful as me - know nothing about it."

"Nothing?"

Lynn repeated what Serena said.

The elite blasphemers in the Dark Night Rose are undoubtedly one of the real trump cards of the Magic Clock Tower, but the strange thing is that here, they still know nothing about the prophecy of destruction until now.

I don't know who I am, I don't know what I'm going to do, I just know I want to kill.JPG

No, rather than going on a killing spree, the individual members of this gang are less destructive because they were artificially gathered together.

Among the blasphemers, weirdos like the witch Salina are only a minority. The blasphemers caught by the Shadow Knights and skinning demons like the Bishop are the mainstream. Some of the real villains have done things that can even make the Bishop vomit, thinking that they are too extreme.

Dark Night Rose gathered these guys together and expanded their scale, which in a sense made the destructive power of these monsters on Rose City less.

Of course, this is only a small part of the reason. The more likely possibility is that they are holding back a big one.

In the dark night of the Rose of Fire, with roses blooming quietly, it was impossible for Lin En not to be wary of them.

"But there is one thing I can be sure of, Your Highness."

Salina suddenly said,

"The leader of the Dark Night Rose is definitely not the Serpent of Fate."

The leader of the Dark Night Rose, the man in black robe, although both of them, in a sense, have the ability to break free from the constraints of appearance and change into a thousand forms, but Serena said this with particular certainty.

Even she herself couldn't explain why.

If she had to give a reason, she could only say it was an unreliable reason like woman's intuition.

But surprisingly, Lin En nodded calmly:

"Well, I knew about that kind of thing a long time ago. I also know that the problem of insufficient life energy recently experienced by some people in the lower city area of ​​Rose City should also be related to the Dark Night Rose."

"You actually know this too?"

The witch was a little shocked, because this was exactly what she was going to tell Lynn next.

After all the predictions were correct, Lin En's expression did not become relaxed, but even more solemn:

“It’s that guy.”

"Which guy?"

Now it was Serena's turn to be unable to keep up with Lynn's thoughts.

But Lin En nodded:

"Salina, I'd like you to help me keep an eye out for whether Dark Night Rose is collecting corpses or doing anything similar."

"Collecting...bodies?"

The witch was stunned, but soon, a name appeared in her mind.

It was all too obvious that it was a gathering of villains who were skilled in blasphemy, who were trying to suck the life energy of the living, and who were collecting corpses.

Among the twelve ring leaders of the Magic Bell Tower, only one meets this condition:

The Ring of Death, the Deathwing of a Thousand Songs, the Sun of the Dead, the great necromancer who is proficient in the arcane arts of death, Tata Atos!

This great arcanist who envied the dead so much that he transformed himself into an undead monster,

He is exactly the boss that the Historia line has to face in the original plot!

Sixteen years ago, it was this Ring of the Dead who instigated the rebellion of Mother Historia, causing her to bear the name of a witch and attempt to seize the secret fire for the first time.

However, he faced off against the current Fire Rose Emperor, the Flame Lord, Cantrad Bile.

The immortal Lord of the Dead had one third of his soul burned alive by the young Fire King, and was banished back to the Magic Bell Tower. However, Emperor Cantrad himself also paid a considerable price to accomplish this great feat. The Fire King was left with an incurable fatal injury, and his long life that could easily last hundreds of years was reduced to just a dozen years.

This plot, which had already gone out of control and was in a mess, finally locked on the ultimate BOSS in the original plot, which really made Lin En feel relieved and relieved.

After all, most of his methods were prepared for the coming of the Undead Lord.

The second most effective force for purifying death magic is the holy power of the God of Light of Exorcism and the Mother Goddess of the Land of Life. I have prepared for it in advance and have already obtained it early.

By then, I will definitely give this Ring of the Dead a big surprise!

"Of course, there is one last question,"

Lin En calmed down.

"You are the helpers of His Highness Zevis, but not just you, right?"

Although the rise of Prince Xevis is a normal development, upon closer examination, it does not stand up to scrutiny.

This prince, whose personal ability is not as good as Hilteria's and whose innate conditions are not as good as Berens', was able to rise in the cracks and almost became the most terrifying chess player chosen by the emperor. If Lin En had not read the original work, he would have thought that Zeves was a male protagonist based on the template of "Ashura Martial God".

Endure in the doghouse for thirty years, and then turn the tables in one day!

The help of the Magic Clock Tower and the Dark Night Rose alone is not enough. There must be another force helping him, just like an invisible hand outside the chessboard, forcing all the chess pieces to move together because of the change of a certain chess piece.

Under Lin En's orders, Shadow Knight conducted a lot of secret investigations, but after all, this was not Purple Gold Flower, and the gains were limited. Some people even thought that Lin En was too sensitive.

And now, Lynn wanted to hear Serena's conclusion.

"Your Highness, I'm sorry. I have tried my best in this matter, but unfortunately, even I have not found any definite evidence to show that someone is helping Your Highness Zevis."

The witch said honestly.

Lynn simply nodded. If he was really being overly suspicious, it would actually be better.

"but,"

She suddenly changed the subject.

"Through some special means and some luck, I have managed to find out where some of the life energy that was absorbed went. Are you interested in knowing?"

"where?"

Lynn asked immediately.

The witch's expression was a little teasing, her eyes narrowed slightly, and she uttered two words:

"Royal Palace."

Lynn's pupils suddenly contracted.

"However, it's not the palace in this world. If I'm not mistaken, it should be the palace in the shadow world, at least somewhere nearby."

The witch continued to explain.

Lynn then relaxed a little.

The Magic Bell Tower has some kind of spell that can travel between the shadow world and the real world. I have known this for a long time and have even experienced it myself.

But, it was the shadow world near the palace, which was too much of a coincidence.

It was absolutely impossible to just leave it alone. For some reason, Lin En didn't really want to tell the official forces of Fire Rose directly about these things.

We need someone to investigate, and it must be someone who can be trusted.

Lin En made a decision quickly, but when he really started to consider the candidates, he began to feel troubled again.

The most suitable person is obviously himself, but tomorrow is the time for him and Historia to go to Princess Hedwig to pass on the secret fire, and he cannot split himself.

The next person Lin En thought of must be the Shadow Knight whom he trusted the most. However, due to the fact that this was the capital of another country and he had to control the influence, the combat effectiveness of the members was generally limited, especially in terms of individual combat effectiveness.

As for the others, either like Celitia, they were limited by power. Although they trusted and were powerful, they could not order each other around at will. Or they were like Hilteria, who could not cooperate to such a close stage. At least Lin En had no reason to ask the other party to risk his life for a guess.

"Your Highness, are you troubled?"

At this moment, Lin En heard the low laughter of the witch beside him.

"You are worried about the lack of strong and trustworthy members, right? But aren't such people right in front of you?"

"Salina, you?"

Hearing the other party's clear self-recommendation, Lin En was a little hesitant.

There is no doubt that Salina is an extremely suitable candidate.

The individual strength of the Six Rings, rich combat experience, and even the ability to escape and hide have all been tested by the Inquisition of the Church.

The reason is simple. Blasphemers who are not good at escaping and hiding would have been killed into Muggles by the Inquisition and the Hound Sisters long ago, and would never live to the sixth ring.

However, the biggest problem is not even trust, but that Salina seems to have no need to work hard for Lin En.

The information provided so far can be regarded as a reward and exchange for Lin En's charging of her two holy weapons. With Selina's ability, even if she is discovered while collecting intelligence, as long as she does not face the man in black robes head-on, she has a high chance of escaping.

But exploring the Shadow Realm Palace is different. Not to mention that it is extremely unknown and dangerous there, you may even encounter the Ring of the Dead himself in the Magic Bell Tower.

Even if a witch possessed both magical powers and holy power at the same time, it would be impossible for her to escape from the hands of the Ring Head. Lin En was convinced of this.

But he was quite surprised that the other party would actually offer to help him.

But Serena smiled softly:

"I'm sorry, Your Highness, I'm going to disappoint you. You must be thinking that there's no need for a cunning and mean woman like me who only cares about profit to work so hard for you, right?"

Lynn didn't answer directly, but nodded honestly.

After seeing his reaction, Salina laughed even more happily:

"Because, I am such a witch. A woman who cannot be seen through by men can be called a witch. If it were me in the past, I would definitely pretend to be deaf and dumb and throw the problem back to my employer, but you are different~"

She stood up and hugged Lin En's neck from behind. Her face flushed a little, and her eyes seemed to be rippling with water:

"Because you are not my employer, but my god."

"I thought that was what you said because you were forced by the situation."

Lynn Road.

Serena shook her head, rubbed Lin En's cheek, restrained her smile, and said seriously:

"Your Highness, you don't understand."

"I am a witch who was abandoned by the gods and degenerated into a bride of pleasure. Every day, my sanity is devoured by endless hunger and thirst, and I have fallen into the madness that I once hated and despised the most. And you are the one who satisfied my endless hunger, so, you are my... little god!"

"Isn't it natural for believers to give everything for God?"

"Besides, you are the one chosen by Celitia, and what I want to do, can Celitia do it? I will be happy from the bottom of my heart for this, that's all."

Lynn was silent for a while:

"In that case, God will give you another command."

Serena assumed a posture of listening attentively.

"No matter what kind of important intelligence it is, if you judge that the danger is beyond your ability to handle, run away immediately."

"After all, I don't have many useful tools right now."

Serena was startled when she heard this, then chuckled:

"Don't worry, Your Highness. I'm a witch who is very good at escaping. Even a top hound like Celitia can't catch me. If there is any danger, of course I will run away."

"but,"

She suddenly changed the subject.

"Maybe I'd be happier if you were willing to give me some rewards."

"Yes, I will fill the holy relics and artifacts you collected with three kinds of holy power at the same time to ensure that you have holy power to mobilize at any time."

Lynn nodded.

However, the charming witch gently shook her finger:

"I'm sorry, Your Highness, but today I want more than just these. Compared to the last time we met, are there some things about you that have changed?"

Lynn was silent:

“Can you see that?”

"Hehe, please don't underestimate the witch's intuition. However, I won't covet the position beside you. But everything about the gods is infinitely magnified and precious in the eyes of believers."

So she slowly stood up,

"So, this time, please allow me to be greedy."
