Reject me, you damn woman.

She wanted to use the pressure brought by the Magic Clock Tower to screen out talents who were truly useful to the empire, but she also didn't want the students to suffer heavy losses because that would be more trouble than gain.

Therefore, the best solution is to create a target to concentrate the damage of the magic clock tower and reduce the damage to all students.

And that target is yourself!

Is the girl’s mother giving up on herself?

Not really. If you really want to give up on yourself, it is better to cut off your relationship with yourself directly than to commit uncontrollable self-destruction.

Therefore, this is not giving up, this is a "test"!

The test from the Queen Mother that I have been waiting for has arrived.

Once he passed the test, he would become the true crown prince of Purple Gold Flower like his two brothers and sisters. But if he failed the test, he would be abandoned just like in many plots of the original novel because he had not awakened the dragon blood and his arcane talent had not reached the indispensable level.

There is no doubt that the test he accepted this time did not overlap with any plot line in the original work, but it was also more difficult than any of them!

At this moment, Lin En realized that he had always underestimated his mother, the Queen.

Quinn, who has always been with the Queen and knows the "Bloody Red Dragon" better than herself, guessed the Queen's thoughts at the first time and made her own choice.

She did not try to disrupt the test with a playful attitude, but as a sister, she stood firmly by her brother.

It sounds mean, right? But it doesn't matter.

Let others die, as long as you survive first.

"My stupid brother, if it were you, you would understand what I really mean and make the right choice, right?"

Quinn leaned back in the chair as if nonchalantly, playing with her slender fingers, glancing at Lin En out of the corner of her eyes, and asked softly.

However, Lin En just shook his head and said:

"I understand what you mean, Sister Quinn, but please allow me to refuse."

Quinn's pupils vibrated slightly.

Chapter 71: You'll refuse, right? (4k)

Quinn's astonishment did not last long. She had gradually gotten used to her brother making some unexpected decisions.

But this time, no.

Perhaps it was his attitude that made Lynn fail to realize the seriousness of the problem.

"Brother Lin, do you know about a case caused by forbidden technique research in the southern part of the empire eight years ago?"

Lin En shook his head. He had just traveled through time not long ago and was too young, so of course he didn't know.

However, Theresa, who was hiding under the table, couldn't help but pursed her lips and slowly clenched her fists.

Because the incident that changed her destiny also happened eight years ago, and the southern part of the Purple Gold Flower Empire was her hometown.

"A magician who could perform magic got an incomplete manual of forbidden magic from somewhere, but he couldn't resist the temptation of taboos and became an arcane madman. Almost everyone in the village was killed by his living experiments. In the end, his crazy magic power caused him to self-destruct. Only a little girl who hid herself survived by chance and was saved by the Shadow Knight."

"That sounds really lucky."

Hearing this, Lin En also realized something, but his good sister would never know that the lucky person in the story was also present at the scene at this moment.

Theresa glared at Lin En in annoyance, but she was also a little surprised that Quinn would talk about her. Compared with the Silver Dragon Princess, she was just an insignificant killer.

However, Quinn's next words made the girl's heart skip a beat.

"Lucky? Do you know that this is the most widely circulated hell joke among the Shadow Knights?"

"After the little girl was rescued, she clamored to become a partner in eradicating forbidden techniques and create a world without forbidden techniques. But do you know when she appeared on the list of Shadow Knights for the second time?"

Quinn's lips curled up into a disdainful smile:

"She was included in the Empire's blacklist because she helped the Demon Clock Tower assassinate an Imperial politician."

"It's really ironic, isn't it, brother Lin? The man who once shouted that he wanted to eliminate all taboos has become a servant of the tower with the most taboos. That guy has become a complete joke. The Shadow Knight who once saved him personally wishes he could turn back time and strangle that little thing to death. I learned a lesson from this incident: don't have desires that exceed your abilities. There's nothing wrong with being a little muddleheaded."

Quinn slowly moved forward, looking directly at Lin En with her silver eyes, the light in them becoming brighter and brighter:

"I came to you, to stop you, because I don't want you to become a joke like that. Do you understand?"

"My dear brother, you want to fight against our mother, which is very interesting. I am looking forward to it and will even help you. But it is not good for you to participate in this Spring Cup that is beyond your ability now."

Under the desk, Theresa also had a complicated expression.

She understood better than anyone that her experience was not glorious. The overly huge goal and weak personal ability forced her to choose the most extreme way of practice, using the enemy's power to fight the enemy.

She also remembered the imperial politician that Quinn mentioned. In fact, that guy was also a user of forbidden techniques. The only difference between him and her father was that he was smarter and was not suspected until he was killed by Theresa.

But it doesn't matter. Theresa's goal is only to eliminate those extreme forbidden magic users and make the world what it should be.

She doesn't care what others think.

What does protecting you have to do with you?

Even if I am seen as a clown, it doesn't matter.

She doesn't need anyone to understand her.

However, the next moment, Lin En’s voice made Theresa’s heart skip a beat:

"Sister Quinn, I cannot agree with you."

Of course I can't agree!

The Empire and Quinn didn't know, but Lin En knew very well that the Demon Clock Tower's initial target was not the academy itself or himself, but Elena and Princess Historia!

Now these two guys are determined to participate in the Spring Cup. If it is just an ordinary event, it would be fine. But if the Magic Bell Tower is also involved, there is no guarantee that something unexpected will happen.

You have to know that Lin En has no talent in mathematics and no dragon bloodline. He made his fortune by taking advantage of these two people.

Even if you fail the test of the Queen Mother, you will not be sent away immediately, but if something unexpected happens to Elena and Historia, half of your experience points will be lost immediately.

Lynn's brain started working at high speed.

Quinn's pupils have turned into bright silver, which is a sign that the dragon blood in his body is boiling. The meaning is very clear. If Lin En insists on participating in this Spring Cup, this illusion master will force himself to stay here.

Although he knew that she was helping him, Lin En still wished that this second sister, who had suddenly transformed from a fun-loving person into a good sister, would not help him.

Helping me is harming me!

"You're just a nobody, Brother Lin."

Quinn was too lazy to argue with Lin En anymore, so he used arcane magic to trap Lin En in an illusion.

"and many more!"

Lin En suddenly interrupted the other party.

"Sister Quinn, do you think that Miss Assassin is funny?"

Lynn said slowly.

"Isn't it ridiculous?"

Quinn shook her head without comment. She thought he was still going to force himself to participate in the Spring Cup. It turned out that he wanted to tell her this.

"The person who wanted to banish the forbidden technique has become a slave to it. Is there anything more ridiculous than this?"

However, when Lin En heard this, he laughed for the first time.

"Sister Quinn, I really don't know about the village extermination incident eight years ago, but I seem to have heard something about the imperial politician you mentioned."

"After the death of Lord Corles of Leshuang Territory, the evil god worship activities that had been going on in his territory gradually dissipated."

"As for that ridiculous assassin lady you mentioned, I happen to know a little about her story. She seems to have a nickname called the Arcanist Killer, because she only kills Arcanists, and most of the guys she killed were also on the Shadow Knights' blacklist of those suspected of practicing forbidden techniques."

Quinn was silent for a while:

"what do you want to say in the end?"

"What I want to say is, is there a possibility that the joke lady you mentioned has never deviated from the path she has chosen, but has just changed her form?"

"The people she hunted were all scum who secretly studied forbidden techniques. This is a fact."

"But it is also true that she became a servant of the Tower."

Quinn doesn't buy it.

"Because if she doesn't become a companion of the tower, the Shadow Knight will not let such a lone assassin go unpunished."

Lynn shook her head.

"It's a bit unfortunate. I also heard rumors about this arcane killer from Miss Sylva, but in her mouth, that lady is not just a joke. Those shadow knights who laughed at her are probably more jealous."

"It's ridiculous that the shadow knights of the empire would be jealous of an assassin who has to hide everywhere."

Quinn scoffed.

Theresa was also a little confused. She didn't know what about herself was worthy of the jealousy of the Shadow Knights.

"Whether it's you, me, or the Shadow Knights, we are just a character in the huge arcane array of the empire. As long as my mother gives an order, our fate will have to change. But that lady is real, walking on the path of her own expectations."

"And her behavior isn't so much ridiculous as it is funny,"

Lynn raised her face and looked directly into Quinn's eyes:

"Don't you think that this kind of guy who knows he's not allowed to do something but still does it is actually pretty cool and fun?"

"She did it knowing it was impossible. Is that how you see her?"

Quinn narrowed her eyes, and the silver light in her pupils gradually dimmed.

And under the table, Theresa also lowered her head.

From a perspective that she herself could not see, her snow-white neck and cheeks, which had turned slightly pale due to long periods of lack of exposure to light, had been dyed an alluring pink.

Is this how he sees me, as someone who knows it’s wrong but still does it?

This guy......

Lynn couldn't help but clench his hands hidden under the table.

He has done his best.

Quinn was different from any enemy he had ever faced.

She has never been weakened by other people, and every aspect of her growth has not been accelerated by potions. Even her physical strength is impeccable because of the dragon blood.

If Quinn was really determined to stop him from participating in the Spring Cup, it would be meaningless whether Lynn chose to resist or not.

After a tense silence, Quinn slowly spoke:

"What a pity, Brother Lin..."

Still not working?

Lynn clenched her teeth.

However, Quinn continued:

"I didn't even stand firm and was persuaded by you."

This guy definitely paused on purpose!

While Lin En breathed a sigh of relief, he couldn't help but think helplessly.

And Theresa, who was hiding under the desk, was also somewhat happy.

Somehow, although Mingming and Lin En were supposed to be enemies, when Lin En convinced Quinn, Theresa was genuinely happy.

Otherwise, I'll just obey this guy for a while and make him happy, the girl couldn't help but think secretly.

"But, to be on the safe side, we still have to do something."

Behind the desk, Quinn thought for a moment, then suddenly hooked her finger at Lynn.

Lin En didn't think much about it. Just as he moved forward, he suddenly felt a slightly moist touch on his forehead.

Theresa's eyes widened under the table. She couldn't believe these two people could do such a thing, right in front of her? !

No, Quinn didn't seem to know she was here, but Lynn knew!

He seemed to be forced...

But I didn't see that Lin En had any intention of resisting at all. On the contrary, he seemed to be enjoying it very much!

Quinn suddenly pinched Lin's chin with one hand and kissed her directly on the forehead. By the time Lin realized something was wrong, Quinn had already shrank back into her seat, licking her lips with a smile, as if savoring the taste just now.
