Reject me, you damn woman.

"Did you do this on purpose?"

Lynn also fell silent.

This...should it be?

Chapter 59: Without you, everything I have is meaningless (4.5k)

In just a few breaths, the atmosphere, which was originally somewhat quiet due to the end of the exam, changed from an examination room to a battlefield.

The Shadow Knights, who had been lying in ambush for a long time, rushed out from all directions and pounced on all the active people in the examination room. Most of the weak candidates were arrested without knowing why, while a few of them suddenly burst out with a strong arcane aura and engaged in a fierce battle with the Shadow Knights.

There is no doubt that those people are the secret agents placed by the Magic Bell Tower among the candidates, responsible for screening out the trash and selecting the elite ones.

On the viewing platform, many hostile eyes were focused on Gust, who was in the center. Latina looked extremely gloomy and said in a cold voice:

"Master Gust, the process we previously planned doesn't seem to include this step, right?"

However, upon hearing this question, Gust actually chuckled.

“Are you asking me why I don’t have this step?”

The old face, which always looked extremely rigid due to being too solemn, burst into an incomparable joy, so much so that he had to cover his cheek with one hand and slowly bend down.

Then, silver light enveloped the seven-ring arcane master from top to bottom. Her figure twisted rapidly, and in the blink of an eye she had transformed into an extremely proud and happy girl.

Her exquisite face can be seen even when she is making facial expressions. Her waist-length hair like ice and snow covers her back because she is bending over, like a silver cloak. Her tall and slender figure is shrouded in silver short close-fitting armor, and below her knees are a pair of high silver boots. The silver close-fitting leather material outlines a fatal curve for her calves.

"I would like to ask you first, did you get the permission from my mother to invade our country?"

"It's you, it's you, it's you!"

One of the examiners suddenly seemed to have seen a ghost and started shouting like a convulsion.

"Silver Reflection, Mithril Dragon Soul, the Second Princess of the Purple Gold Flower Empire, Quinn Norton."

Latina's expression was also very ugly, but she still read out the name of the person in front of her.

Unlike Lin En, who has not awakened any dragon blood, his sister, the second princess Quinn, showed powerful silver dragon blood at a very young age. Silver dragons are recognized masters of illusion magic and playing with people's hearts.

Unlike the high-profile eldest prince and Lin En who enrolled in public, her whereabouts have always been mysterious, but no one thought that she would join the Shadow Knights!

"That's right~"

Quinn had stopped laughing wildly. Even though she was surrounded, her wild silver eyes were still looking around. When she looked around and found that she had been locked by nearly ten high-level arcane spells, she did not show any panic, but her face flushed with excitement:

"My useless little brother with no potential has really been put to good use this time. We were able to catch so many rats at once, all thanks to him!"

That bastard actually lied to us!

Isn't he afraid that his mother will find out about his outrageous remarks?

Various emotions flashed through Latina's eyes, but in the end, her anger towards Lynn was suppressed, and dealing with the enemy in front of her was the most important thing.

A magic book appeared in Latina's palm, and many stars flickered around her. It was the magic network meditation that could cast arcane spells instantly!

"But, according to our intelligence, you should only have the strength of six rings,"

Latina's eyes reflected the light of arcane magic.

"So how are you going to deal with all of us on your own with only six rings?"

After hearing her threat, Quinn laughed out loud:

"Who said I'm the only one left? Aren't you curious about where the real Gust is?"

Latina was startled as a terrifying arcane wave suddenly echoed in the air around her.

"Eighth-ring arcane magic: Dimensional Wind Prison!"

An old voice sounded, and under the invisible wind pressure, the entire platform shattered and turned into dust.

........

"You say it's all my credit? Don't talk nonsense!"

Lynn grabbed a passing shadow knight and winked at him frantically.

Historia is still watching you. Such a big and beautiful girl is looking at you, hurry up and take some credit for yourself!

The shadow knight suddenly realized.

When I was lurking, I saw this woman flirting with His Royal Highness the Prince, and His Royal Highness the Prince couldn't help himself and pounced on her.

I see. Your Highness must want me to give you an assist, right?

I'm familiar with this!

"Of course, it's all thanks to His Royal Highness the Prince. You don't know, my classmates over there, that it was thanks to His Royal Highness the Prince who risked his life, went into the enemy camp alone, and personally killed the traitor of our Shadow Knights in the midst of the enemy's army that we were able to make today's encirclement watertight!"

Lynn panicked:

"Wait, that's not what I told you to say..."

Shadow Knight nodded sharply:

"Your Highness is awesome! If I could become his female friend, that would be really hot!"

"Get lost! Who wants to hear you say this?"

Lynn kicked the unlucky guy away.

He had obviously just killed the traitor Salion and was afraid that it would hinder the Shadow Knight's investigation, so he sent a letter to Shiluva to tell her that there was something wrong with Salion. How did these guys find out so much information?

Wait, in the original book, it seems that the Magic Clock Tower will also come to disrupt this Item Master Examination, but the reason they can succeed seems to be because the traitor Ken cooperates with insiders and outsiders to destroy the magic network covering the entire school. And they can't escape unscathed. After all, Eden College is of great significance to the Purple Gold Flower Empire. The Shadow Knight has been hunting down the destroyer for a long time, and both sides have suffered losses. They have not achieved all their goals, so they did not publicize this secret war.

In other words, Shadow Knight had actually suspected that there was something wrong with the examiners a long time ago, but because those masters were all of noble status and were closely related, it was difficult to conduct a large-scale search.

After informing Xiluwa that Salion was the traitor, he only needed to follow the internal records of the undamaged campus magic network to check which examiner blocked the magic network and had contact with Salion at that time to get the list of traitors.

If you think about it this way...he wasn't attacking like a traitor prince, he was clearly turning the tide of the battle like a hero!

The hero is actually me, the fucking me?!

Could such a coincidence really happen?

Although I had calculated everything, I never expected that my actions would bring about such a huge butterfly effect.

A horseshoe fell off and a country was destroyed, right?

On the other side, Historia, who was already full of anger towards Lin, was stunned.

When Linn claimed that he had done all this on purpose, Historia really felt as if the sky had fallen.

But after listening to the explanation given by the kind Shadow Knight who passed by, although she didn't understand much, she could understand the core meaning.

That is, Lynn did not backstab them!

As for the fact that Lin En had concealed the matter of the Magic Clock Tower from them, Historia didn't care that much.

As a princess, although she is rather unconventional in her daily life, Historia knows what is right and wrong when it comes to major issues.

For this kind of information that is suspected to be at the level of a state secret, putting myself in Lin En's position, it is difficult to say whether I would tell the two of them.

What's more, Lynn has made up for his concealment with his actions.

Didn't he risk his life and enter the examination room in person just to protect Elena from getting hurt?

Somehow, Historia suddenly felt somewhat envious of Elena, and a question involuntarily arose in her mind:

"If...if it was me who had to take this exam, would you go to this extent to save me?"

At this moment, a loud thunder suddenly sounded from a distance, shaking half of the forest, and many screams were faintly heard.

"Fourth ring, no, close to the fifth ring of arcane aura!"

The knowledgeable Historia saw the destructive power of the thunder and the strength of the person at a glance, and Lin En's face looked a little ugly.

The five-ring arcanist with thunder attribute, if I am not mistaken, is the only one among Latina's group, the old man named Tarn.

As Latina's assistant, he should have always been by Latina's side in the original book until he was chased to death by the Shadow Knight while escaping.

But now it seems that the plot has changed a little, and he actually came to the examination room.

Historia saw the opponent's strength in the thunder just now, while Lin En saw the emotion. He saw that the person who cast the spell was already furious.

There is no doubt that no matter what the Magic Bell Tower originally planned, it has now been completely ruined.

If nothing unexpected happens, while he becomes a hero in the hearts of the Shadow Knights, he will also become a villain who has harmed the Magic Clock Tower. The furious Tarn will definitely hunt him down madly and kill him here at the risk of his life.

Lin En could indeed turn around and run now. Although there seemed to be no high-level arcanist who could rival Kane among the lurking shadow knights, they were loyal and numerous.

Relying on loyalty and numbers, we can kill Tarn with a pile of troops.

But Lin En couldn't, because Tann knew his "real purpose". Once he disappeared, there would be only one person to bear it all in his place.

"Elena!"

Damn it, if Elena sent it, wouldn't my experience-earning channel be reduced by half for nothing? !

"Wait for me in a safe place!"

After Lynn finished speaking to Historia, he gritted his teeth and rushed towards the place where the thunder erupted.

Lynn, who was walking in too much of a hurry, did not catch the complex emotions in Historia's eyes.

Did he even give up his life for Xiao Ai? !

Damn it, what was I thinking? The small fry Norton was going to save Xiao Ai, but I was actually thinking about all these nonsense.

This is not Historia at all!

"I also need to go!"

Shaking off these messy thoughts, Historia followed Lynn's footsteps.

.......

On the other side, in the forest, Tarn, covered in blood and panting, gritted his teeth, waved his magic wand, and continuously summoned thunder, bombarding the surrounding woods with spiritual power as if it was free.

He was not attacking the Shadow Knight members, but looking for Elena!

The moment the first shadow knight rushed in, he flew to the preset teleportation array without hesitation, hoping to activate the teleportation array and take away the candidates who had passed the exam.

However, as expected, the energy supply of the teleportation array had been cut off long ago, and the array was damaged in many places. The Shadow Knights were obviously well prepared, and their plan had been completely declared bankrupt!

"It's all Lynn Norton, it's all Lynn Norton, it's all Lynn Norton's fault!!"

Looking at the countless shadow knights that kept appearing from all directions, Tarn had gone completely crazy.

Tarn no longer had any hope of escaping, as this was Purple Gold Flower's territory, and without the teleportation array, they had no way of retreat.

Therefore, he chose to make the person he hated the most pay the price!

Everything Lynn Norton did was for that girl, right?

Then even if he risked his life, he would kill that woman first before he died!

The Shadow Knights are not afraid of death, but they are not idiots. When they see Tarn using arcane magic like crazy, they all know that he has gone crazy, and naturally they will not confront him head-on.

In the beginning, some people tried to resist Tarn, but later on, they simply avoided Tarn and hunted down other people. Only Elena, who was gradually targeted, took on everything alone.

"The spell that just failed was a large-scale teleportation spell?"

"Those candidates who passed the exam will be teleported away?"

Elena, who was hiding in the forest, naturally also saw the silver light unique to the spatial attribute arcane, but before she could confirm more, Kane had already rushed back to where she was with lightning.

At first, Elena tried to use the characteristics of the phantom arcane to temporarily avoid the attack, but when a bolt of lightning shattered the phantom, Elena realized that it was not her who blocked the opponent's way, but that the opponent's target was her.

Although Tarn had been severely damaged by the Shadow Knight's attacks and teleportation magic, the illusion in the mountains and forests was far more deceptive than Elena had imagined.

But the overwhelming advantage of five rings over one ring still made Elena and Tane closer and closer.

Her magic power was decreasing, her breathing was becoming heavy, and after squeezing the strength in her body to release an illusion, Elena's vision had become blurred.
