The villain's goal is to save the heroine

“Hmm…!” Upon hearing this, Latia puffed up her cheeks in dissatisfaction like a pufferfish.

But Lin En ignored him and continued to ask, "So, what exactly do you want to say?"

Herman's expression became serious: "Well, based on my understanding of the Witch Cult, they wouldn't come to Siena for no reason!"

"Isn't this nonsense?"

"No, no, what I mean is that as early as when I came into contact with the Witch Cult several years ago, they were looking for someone!"

"Looking for someone?"

"Yes, that's the only thing I can't be wrong about. After all, that's what they asked me back then, saying it was extremely important... This is also the most valuable information I can personally provide!"

"what…"

"So, if we have intelligence on this key person, maybe we'll be qualified to negotiate!"

"I see…"

"So, do you have any idea about this?"

Chapter 271 The reason why the little girl was beaten was found

Any ideas about this...?

Lin En touched his chin and thought for 2.5 seconds. You won’t believe it, it really is true!

If we think about Hermann's problem realistically, it is like looking for a needle in a haystack in Siena, a city with a population of over a million.

However, if we look at it from a gaming perspective, the options suddenly drop to single digits.

After all, there are only so many main characters in the game.

But then again, the purpose of the Witch Cult coming to Siena was...

To find someone?!

This is not mentioned at all in the game!

Is the intelligence credible?

Lynn was a little unsure again.

From the information he had, his understanding of the Witch Cult was still limited to the image of terrorists. Or, as Latia had said, a group of demons intent on using witch power to destroy civilization.

After all, if the Witch Cult was really just looking for someone, then go ahead and look for him, but why kill hundreds of thousands or even millions of civilians?

This is very unreasonable.

But since Herman, who had come into contact with the Witch Cult, said this with such confidence, it cannot be easily ignored.

Regardless, the saying "the Witch Cult members are human, too" is true. Since they are human, they must have some kind of ideological imprint. They probably didn't just want to massacre a city for fun, but rather came to Siena for a specific purpose. This was a man-made disaster, not a natural one.

If you think about it this way, things seem a little different.

This suddenly changed the plot of the game from "What does my destruction of you have to do with you" to "What does my destruction of you have to do with you", as if there was a hidden line behind it that he had never noticed while playing the game.

Well, it seems that he probably didn't really understand "Fallen Girl". His attention was completely attracted by the heroines, and he didn't pay attention to the core of the game at all.

but…

"I don't understand even if you put it that way."

Of course, Lin En couldn't just throw away the information he had, so he just said logically:

"My knowledge of the Witch Cult is almost zero. I don't know who they're looking for, what kind of person they're looking for, or even if it's a man or a woman. How can I possibly have any clue?"

He didn't want to expose his uniqueness. At the same time, if he could obtain more information about the Witch Cult, it would undoubtedly be an important reliance for him to re-understand this world.

"Well, I think..." Herman responded with his arms folded, "First of all, the gender will definitely be female."

Lin En couldn't help but feel curious again: "Oh? Why is that?"

"Because the Witch Cult is made up of women." Herman spread his hands, looking somewhat helpless. "Alas, the Witch Cult has faded from people's sight for too long. People nowadays don't even know this... What I mean is, men can't use the power of witches!"

"Why is this again?"

“Well, this is the objective fact…”

"I see, there's no demon man or anything like that?"

“…Probably, there’s no such thing.”

"Ok."

Lynn nodded thoughtfully.

He believed that this was reliable, after all, the Saint Lady did not refute it.

but…

"What would happen if a man forcibly obtained the power of a witch?"

Lynn has not forgotten the "pink" in her body.

Although this may not necessarily come from the witch, judging from what is shown in the game, this world does not have so many special abilities. He feels that this situation is basically a routine that most villains use.

"Men cannot inherit the abilities of witches. Even if some of the power is contaminated on them, it will only be a curse for men! They will probably turn into monsters in the end." Hermann said indifferently, as if he was stating something insignificant.

But the speaker may not mean it, but the listener may take it seriously. Herman's remarks actually coincided with Lynn's situation, allowing him to draw a conclusion about his own situation!

Sure enough, those "pinks" are the power of the witch.

Just like what was said in the "Villain's Diary", if he unscrupulously vents his animal desires, the witch's power will become active and eventually turn him into an unspeakable monster!

The "Ice Heart Pendant" can greatly slow down this process, so the "Villain's Diary" said at the beginning that this is a more important prop for him than for Cecilia!

Everything is so logical...

Yes, Herman's information was indeed valuable to Lynn.

Of course, he wanted to ask more related questions, but fearing suspicion, he cautiously offered a conclusion: "So, you're saying that the Witch Cult came to Siena to find a woman who inherited witch powers?"

"To be more precise, it's a young girl." Herman added, "It's a coincidence that the Witch Cult has arrived in Siena at this time. This shows that the power has begun to grow. This situation probably won't happen in a mature woman."

"I see."

Lynn suddenly realized again.

If this is the case, it would explain why the Witch Cult appeared in Siena at this point in time.

Because, after the Sword Trial Festival comes the graduation season. In a sense, this is indeed a sign that another group of talents has matured!

In other words, the Witch Cult's action this time is actually aimed at a certain female protagonist?

Oh!

That seems to be the case.

Although he felt a little sorry for the little Loli, if he thought about it carefully, why did Eunice leave him with the impression of a female ghost?

Isn't it because he acted like the biggest bull and then got the worst beating?

But who beat her?

It's Daisy.

It’s the high priest of the witch cult!

As a level 85 woman with witch powers, it would be easy for Daisy to kill Eunice, but she tirelessly tortured her thousands of times, so that was actually...

Forcing Eunice to use her witch powers?

In other words, assuming that Herman's information is true, the priest in the game must have mistaken Eunice as the person they were looking for, so the little Loli was beaten up and caused such a misunderstanding!

From this perspective, the little girl is indeed quite miserable. Not to mention that she has no connection with witches in the game, the panel in reality does not give similar information, so Eunice is definitely not the person the witch cult is looking for.

However, in this way, the goal seems to have been made clear.

Among all the important characters that have appeared so far, Claire is a male, so she is excluded.

Vivian and Cecilia have clean panels, and they will basically die in the fourth volume, so they are also excluded.

Only Shisha and Latiya were left.

Lin En is not sure about Xisha's future, but there will probably be no problem for an angelic character like this to stay by the male protagonist's side.

but!

Latia, her panel is all white and...!

Lin En always kept that warning in mind.

"If you don't take good care of her, she'll bring disaster to Kafa!"

Chapter 272 "Debate"?

So, Latia is the person the Witch Cult is looking for?

Lin En looked at the Saint Lady who was still pouting in confusion. Although it seemed reasonable based on the known information, there were some unavoidable loopholes when looking more closely.

For example, apart from her extremely strong "holy power", Latia has not yet displayed any magical abilities. This is true in reality and in the game.

For example, if Latia is the person the Witch Cult is looking for, then the focus of the Witch Cult should be on this saint, but the game does not proceed that way. At least in the fourth volume, there are very few scenes of the saint.

In other words, although Latia fits the situation based on the panel information, the actual explanation is still a bit far-fetched. For example, the saint of the church suddenly turned into a witch. This kind of joke should not happen to the rigorous church.

then…

"Do you think she has a chance?"

Since asking didn't cost any money, Lin En pointed at Latiya and asked Herman.

But perhaps the question was a bit too outrageous. Before Herman could react, the Saint Lady became anxious: "What...what do you mean, Mr. Lin! I am a devout believer in God, how could I be a witch! Mr. Lin is really going too far! Too far! Even if I look at me like this, I will also hold a grudge!"

This is probably similar to asking a Christian whether he is a Muslim. If you have a bad temper, you will probably be beaten up.

However, to everyone's surprise, Herman's reaction was also quite strong: "Impossible! Absolutely impossible! It's impossible for a hypocritical church believer to obtain witch power, just like you can't imagine the colorful black at all!"

This remark irritated Latia once again, and she heard him say in a serious tone, "Sir, I can't pretend I didn't hear what you just said. Before you express your opinion, you'd better have solid evidence. If you're just spreading rumors, I need you to apologize for your words and actions!"

This made Lin En startled again.

It must be said that this was the first time he saw the elegant and gentle Latiya show such a serious attitude.

Of course, this wasn't a big deal, but Lin En obviously thought about it more than the average person. Then, he realized a problem...

Yes, saving this heroine is probably not as easy as imagined.

Is it her distorted cognition and lustful nature that Miss Saint needs to correct?

Before this, Lin En also thought so, but after feeling Latia's intention to protect the church from the inside out, he realized that this was not the case.

No matter what, Latia is the saint of the church.

And she is a completely qualified saint!

As a loyal supporter of the church, Latia's thoughts, attitudes, and actions are undoubtedly biased towards the church.

It's like a Kafa who deeply loves his country and a Lorraine who deeply loves his country marrying each other. Although their feelings for each other are real, once national justice is involved, it is common for even the couple to turn against each other.

In other words, even though his relationship with Latia seemed friendly and ambiguous, if he stood against the church, it would be hard to say whether this relationship could be maintained.

Between Seaberg and him, Latia probably still trusts her good teacher more...

I have to say, this is really a bucket of cold water at the right time.

But then Herman said with a playful smile: "Okay, okay, it's my fault for not believing in the so-called God devoutly. I just hope you can understand that I have no intention of targeting the church..."

These rather cowardly words actually made Latia look a little better.

The church had only been in Kaffa for a few years, and she was aware of the people's lack of faith, but...

"I'm just telling the truth," Hermann added.

Isn't this just being sarcastic?

Latia's expression, which had just relaxed, stiffened again. "Really? Well, then, please point out where the church is hypocritical!"

Oh! I've learned a lot. I didn't expect that the usually gentle and soft Saint Lady could actually be strong at times. It's impossible to see such a scene in the game.

but…

"Haha, don't be so serious, Miss Priest." The experienced Hermann just laughed heartily, forming a sharp contrast with the serious Latia. "Everyone has their own opinions. You can't expect everyone to have a good impression of the church and believe in their own gods, right?"
