The villain's goal is to save the heroine

"Is it really that simple...?"

"As I write this, I have this question in my mind."

"If things have fundamentally changed, can extinguishing the "Dead Soul Fire" still easily weaken the witch's power as deduced?"

"Things may not be that simple."

"I think I need to pay more attention to Siena's movements."

"If the power that Lavinica relies on comes from the 'Netherworld', perhaps I can pay more attention to some movements at night?"

Lynn couldn't help but take a deep breath.

I have to say, "Villain Diary" is a real person. No matter what conspiracy or not, the most important thing is to survive...

Chapter 281 Mu Lin's Melon

Although Lin En discovered part of the truth about "Fallen Girl", she was surprised. As the "Villain's Diary" said, for the time being, she had to survive the first attack of the Witch Cult.

The inertia of history is like fortune-telling about winning money. It is not 100% certain and has its fragility and instability. If you just lie down and do nothing, the consequences will be disastrous.

So, for the next three days, Lin En spared no effort to cooperate with Latiya to extinguish the "Dead Soul Fire".

After walking through most of Siena, I was exhausted every day.

In addition to dealing with the troublemakers, Lin En also has to deal with Latiya, which makes him feel physically and mentally exhausted.

However, being tired also has its advantages. At least in this state, even the curse can't affect my mood, and the thing that happened with Mona that night didn't happen again.

Moreover, Lynn also has to work overtime at night.

After the reminder in the Villain's Diary, he went out for an hour every night. The first day was from 21 PM to 22 PM, the second day was from 22 PM to 23 PM, and the third day was from 23 PM to 24 AM. This allowed him to witness Siena's appearance at different times of the night, but unfortunately, he didn't gain anything substantial.

Three days later, on the fiftieth day of "Fallen Girl", the main competition of the Sword Trial Festival has officially begun!

On the grand stage of Siena, the Church and the Witch Cult were secretly engaged in a game of chess. In public, the Holy City Academy, the official, was in conflict with the Adventurer's Guild, the civilian.

After five days of extensive auditions, the Sword Trial Festival finals narrowed down the top 56 contestants. According to the competition format, they will be divided into eight pools of seven, plus the eight seats from Holy City Academy, forming an 8×7 competition system.

This is also the most interesting stage.

Because there will only be one student from the Holy City College in each pool, and they will be hunted by seven people from the public. Whether they can escape, or which group of students will be eliminated, and by whom, these are all hot topics for discussion and gamblers. The grouping alone is enough to ignite people's passion!

From here on, the competition will no longer be held in multiple venues like the auditions. All competitions will be held behind the Oreber Gate in Siena!

The Porta Oreber is the Arc de Triomphe of Siena.

It is 83 meters long and 41 meters high. It is magnificent and majestic, standing like a giant in the city center of Siena. It does not belong to the upper city for the nobility, nor to the lower city for the common people. Instead, it stands like a landmark in the history of Siena and even Caffa.

Yes, as the former bridgehead of the Kingdom of Caffa, Siena has never fallen. Soldiers have defeated foreign enemies time and time again and passed through this triumphal arch again and again. The Porta Oreber is the Gate of Victory, and the historical significance it represents is self-evident.

Behind the Oreber Gate is the huge Saint Vanno Square.

Originally used for military parades, this place was transformed into a sacred dueling arena after Kafa's victory. Beneath the massive stone statue of Saint Vanno, all matches took place here. Simply ascending this arena was an honor in itself, and simply being present brought immense benefits, earning one the attention of the public.

Claire's original intention was to help her mother get on the stage.

As long as he can shine on this stage, he can return home in glory, fully prove his father's stupidity and incompetence, bring glory to his mother, and sweep away the haze of twenty years!

This is bound to be a grand ceremony.

Therefore, a troublesome opening is inevitable for anything like this, especially on the first day, when there are the fewest games but the most things to do.

First comes the well-known "a few brief words", and then various groups will appear, such as the Holy City College, the Adventurer's Guild, the Mercenary Group, and the individual players.

Then, it’s time for trash talk.

After all, the Holy City Academy and the Adventurer's Guild have had conflicts for a long time. A verbal battle is also a battle, and it is impossible not to provoke a few words.

As for the trash talk, all kinds of wonderful endorsement sessions immediately followed.

After all, businessmen are here to make profits. You have to watch the games, but you also have to make money, right?

Anyway, you have to go through all the cutscenes before the game officially starts.

However, if there is anything more troublesome than the opening, it is that as the eldest son of the Noel family, Lin En has to deal with too many things.

Yes, as the swordsmanship instructor at Holy City College and a renowned noble, Lin En naturally had to attend this grand ceremony. Furthermore, his viewing seat was right in the center, making him one of the most prestigious. However...

"It's been a while since I last saw you, Teacher Lin En. How have you been lately?"

Before he could even sit down, the academy's instructor Justu came over.

It had indeed been a while since they last saw each other. The last time was when the Adventurer's Guild came to the Holy City Academy to provoke them. It had indeed been more than ten days since then.

"Long time no see, Master Justu."

Lin En still has a good impression of this old guy, but after taking a look at him, he felt a little strange.

"Speaking of long time no see, where is our Miss Mulin?"

In the game, Mulin, Justu, and "Lynn" appeared together. Although this was indeed an insignificant detail, but... well, at least they were beautiful girls with portraits. He had seen them when he first came to this world, but later they occupied their roles, and now no one knows where they are.

"Ah...you should ask Teacher Mulin. Well, she has been in seclusion recently." Justu responded without changing his expression.

But his reaction and tone were a little strange. Based on Lynn's superficial understanding of Justu, he was definitely lying!

"Teacher Justu, are you sure Mulin is really in seclusion?" Lin En's curiosity was piqued, and he couldn't help but stand up. "Why do I feel like you're lying to me? You know, recently I risked my life to save Cecilia, worked hard to help Eunice break through level 50, and actively cooperated with the church's operations. It can be said that I've been working hard for this family. Are you hiding something from me?"

Justu suddenly smiled bitterly. "I know Teacher Lin En. I wanted to thank you, but the matter with Teacher Mu Lin...it's quite personal. I can't talk about it."

"Oh, that won't do." Lin En grabbed Justu directly and said, "If you don't tell me, I'll spread the news that something's wrong with Mu Lin. Since you said it's a private matter, you definitely don't want everyone to know, right?"

Justu's expression became even more helpless. "No, Professor Lin En, I know there are some conflicts between you and Professor Mu Lin, but I still hope that you will both give each other more respect when it comes to personal privacy... So, let's each take a step back. I'll give you a hint. You can decide the specifics yourself. Is this okay?"

"Oh..."

Although Lin En wanted to know more specific and comprehensive information about the incident, after thinking about Justu's character, he felt that forcing him was indeed a bit unfair, so he could only nod helplessly.

"Okay, then give me a hint."

Justu nodded, then lowered his voice and said, "Teacher Lin En, Mu Lin made a mistake in his private actions and was slightly burned by the 'Death Soul Fire'..."

Chapter 282 "Take a Kick from This Lady"

My private actions were flawed, and I was burned by the "Dead Soul Fire"...?

Hearing Justu's description, Lin En was stunned.

Not to mention that Mulin herself has an excellent level and extraordinary perception, the problem is that nothing happened to her in the game. Even in the fourth volume, she could still "gently" encourage the male protagonist. Why is there such a big gap in reality?

"Um, what do you mean by private conduct is wrong..."

"This... Teacher Lin En, please don't make it difficult for me. Everyone has some problems, more or less, and I am no exception. It's just that Teacher Mu Lin was more unlucky and just happened to encounter... In short, it is still necessary to go to the church to be baptized regularly. If Teacher Mu Lin could have discovered the problem in time, it wouldn't have become like this..."

"Your words have piqued my curiosity even more, but... never mind, I guess you wouldn't tell me even if I asked..."

Lynn sighed helplessly.

Justo is a virtuous man. He has already said so much, and it is really not right to continue to force him.

but…

"By the way, I actually have another question I want to ask you."

"Teacher Lin En, please speak."

"Well, actually, I've always been curious, Claire Anasta. He has neither extraordinary talents nor superhuman abilities. Where does your confidence in him come from?"

"Oh, you want to ask Claire..." Justu smiled when he mentioned his favorite student. "But I don't think I need to explain this. You've already worked together, so Professor Lin En should know something about it, right?"

"No, quite the opposite. It's because I understand it that I'm confused... Claire's move is called the 'Sword of Destruction', right? Is that truly a human power?"

"Ah, the 'Sword of Destruction'..." Justu's smile froze, his eyes darkening as if he'd seen something, or perhaps recalled something, but he ultimately shook his head. "I'm not entirely sure about this question. I've asked Claire before, but she herself has her doubts. However, I've always felt that the essence of power isn't important; what matters is the person who wields it. Claire's technique may be a little odd, but isn't Claire a good kid? He pursues power, gains it, but doesn't become obsessed with it. He's down-to-earth, taking every step steadily. At the same time, Claire has a clear understanding of herself. She knows what she's doing and what she's striving for. She's neither arrogant nor impetuous, and she never gives up or gives up... That's the most crucial thing. What do you think, Instructor Lin?"

"As for me..." Lin En was a little amused. "Now that you've said that, what else can I say? I think I'd better keep my mouth shut."

"Well, that's not the case. Everyone may have a different perspective, so the evaluations are naturally diverse. They are all my students, so I should say whatever I want." Justu became cheerful again.

It's hard to tell whether he's proud of Claire or just watching Lynn get humiliated.

So Lin En had to change the subject again: "By the way, a few days ago I gave your field research to a student I'm optimistic about. Do you have any objections?"

"Oh, that." Justu's smile widened. "I already know what's going on. Her name is Vivian, right? She's a very pretty girl. She took the initiative to talk to me about this matter... To be honest, I was a little skeptical at first, but after testing her, I found that she's actually more talented than Claire in this area... Well, she's worthy of being Professor Lin's favorite student. I'm very satisfied with her. If possible, I would also be happy to personally guide her."

"Is there anything you can't do to guide her?"

"I'm also very curious. She said she was afraid you might misunderstand. Could there be any misunderstanding?"

"Emm..." Lin En touched his chin, thought for a few seconds, and finally said helplessly: "This is a good question..."

The fact is, before Justu took the initiative to talk about this matter, he didn't even know that there was such a thing behind Vivian.

Come to think of it, Vivian has become a little... negative recently?

I am always absent-minded and no longer as active as before. The most important thing is!

People are no longer timid.

She was so quiet that she stopped complaining about everything she did, silently maintaining the mansion and building barriers whenever she had free time, just like...

Like a robot?

In short, it seemed like there was something wrong, but it also seemed like there was nothing wrong. After all, if you look at it from the perspective of complete disappointment, Vivian's behavior is understandable.

Should I talk to her again?

He was just thinking about it when a figure suddenly swooped down towards him!

"Take this kick from me!"

She is a wizard, but she likes hand-to-hand combat. No one else can do such an extremely reasonable behavior except Eunice.

Facing the little Lolita's frequent sneak attacks, Lin En naturally made way for her, and seized the opportunity when she passed by to hug her, holding the little Lolita and placing her in front of him like a doll.

His movements were smooth and seamless, as if he was actually a loader.

"It's been a few days since we last met, and you're still so energetic, Miss." Lin En chuckled as she looked at the little Lolita dressed in Gothic style.

Speaking of which, Eunice has been missing for a few days. Perhaps she's been grounded because of the "Forest of the Sacred Tree" incident? Unfortunately, the little girl's relationship with her father is shown as 0 in the game, so we don't know what their relationship is like.

"Bah! What what what this lady, call me Lady Eunice!!"

The little Lolita was still the same, she lifted her long hair and looked like she deserved a beating.

However, she caught a glimpse of Justu from the corner of her eye, and she immediately jumped to her feet:

"Alright! You stinky old man! Come here, you like to tell tales, right? Hand over your stinky beard to me!!"

Oh, I see. Mandel knew that the problem was actually Justu's.

but…

This is normal, isn't it?

Justu's role as a mentor is actually just a personal hobby. Can he be called the "steward" of Holy City College?

Isn’t it your job to report to the boss?

"Hey, stop, stop, stop...! Stop it, Miss Eunice, please pay attention to your image. This is a public place, you should at least maintain your image as a lady." Justu dodged helplessly.

It looks like he might really be the butler.

But then again, Justo's requirements for Eunice were really low, "at least maintain it for a while." Tsk, it seems that Eunice's temper is recognized to be bad.

"Ha! Ladylike, huh?! Come, I'll be a lady and pluck out ten of them for you! Seriously, just ten, honest to God!"

So pitiful.

"No...wait! Ahem...Um, Mr. Lin, I have to say goodbye first, you guys chat..."

Embarrassing!

It looks so embarrassing!

Chapter 283: Sinon covered in bruises?

Although Eunice is not the heroine of "Fall Girl", among all the characters including the heroine, the little loli is undoubtedly the most noisy one.

Of course, this is not derogatory.

Lin En always found pleasure in teasing the little girl and enjoyed seeing her get upset. Compared to the heroine, who had to consider many aspects, Eunice was undoubtedly more "safe." He didn't have to worry about causing any tragedy or affecting the progress, so he naturally felt more relaxed.
