The villain's goal is to save the heroine

Lin En walked forward alone and greeted the man who was almost confirmed to be related to the Witch Cult.

He didn't know whether the person in front of him was Lavinica.

The power of a witch cannot be easily detected by humans. If there is no restraining force related to it, I am afraid that we can only rely on Cecilia's unconventional intuition.

"Oh!" Hearing this, Herman turned around and saw the person coming. A rough smile suddenly appeared on his face. "Isn't this Master Lin En? Long time no see!"

To be honest, he looks quite silly, and it's really hard to associate him with the madman of the Witch Cult.

"Long time no see. Isn't this Captain Herman?" Lin En also imitated him, stroking his head and smiling. "How strange that you would come here specifically for something like this."

"Hahaha! I'm just bored. Master Lin En, do you have any instructions for me?"

"No, I just want to find out something from you."

"Oh?" Herman showed an expression of sudden realization, and then quickly looked around, "Where's that church priest? Tell her to come out quickly, I've already seen her!"

"..."

Speaking of which, Miss Saint does always quarrel with Hermann. I don't know if this can be regarded as the natural incompatibility between the Church and the Witch Cult. Anyway, they can't get along without saying a few words when they meet.

"She's not here. That's my um... student." Lin En shook her hands. "I came to see you because I'm interested in something."

"Ah, so that's how it is..." Herman crossed his arms and looked a little disappointed. "What a shame. To be honest, I thought that priestess you've been with was quite interesting."

"interesting?"

"Look, she's from the church, right?"

"That's right."

"Hahaha, the people in the church actually agree with some of the practices of the Witch Cult. Isn't that interesting enough?"

Lin En was stunned when he heard this, his eyes darkening slightly. Then he raised his hand and said seriously, "No, I think it's quite rare. This proves that she doesn't care about factions, but only cares about right and wrong. She has a pragmatic and realistic spirit. However, she can accept the views of the Witch Cult, but the Witch Cult may not necessarily accept her views. So..."

Lin En suddenly chuckled: "The church is actually much more open-minded than the Witch Cult, isn't it?"

"what…"

Herman was stunned when he heard this, and the smile disappeared from his face.

The Witch Cult and the Church have been at odds for centuries, and the two are considered old enemies. From the Witch Cult's perspective, being able to silence their rival, the Church, is naturally satisfying. However, if a third party were to come along and rationally say, "The Church is much more open-minded than the Witch Cult," then there's no way they could still be satisfied.

"What kind of views can the church have that are worth accepting? It has been the same for hundreds of years, doing more harm than good." Hermann groaned.

Lin En also folded his hands and said, "You're right, but isn't the Witch Cult the same? The results haven't changed anything, and they've even killed many people. So, if you really want to talk about it, the Witch Cult is much worse than the Church."

This made Herman stunned again, and he realized that his opponent was no longer the little saint of the church, but the nobleman Lin En who was talking without any worries.

"Then you should also know that the resistance faced by each side is completely different..." Herman muttered quietly, then spread his hands, "Forget it, it has nothing to do with me anyway. Let's talk somewhere else. This rain won't stop for a while."

"That's true..."

Upon hearing this, Lin En couldn't help but look up at the sky. Looking at the gloomy sky regardless of day or night, if nothing unexpected happened, this situation would probably last for ten days or half a month, right?

It's strange, though. The game doesn't show this kind of extreme weather, yet in reality it looks like dark clouds are looming over the city...

"etc…!"

As he took a step forward following Herman, a flash of inspiration suddenly occurred to Lin En's mind. When he caught it in an instant, he seemed to understand the reason why it suddenly rained in Siena.

"So...that's what's going on!"

Lin En looked up at the clouds covering the entire Siena, and couldn't help feeling a little creepy, with goose bumps all over his body!

However, he didn't show any abnormality. After greeting Cecilia, the two followed Hermann to a nearby tavern. However, this tavern in the downtown area was indeed a bit disappointing. As soon as you entered the room, you could smell a strange smell, like sweat and foot odor. The usual customers were probably laborers.

However, the situation on the second floor is much better. As long as you choose a private room, the hygiene can be guaranteed.

Obviously, for the people at the bottom of this world, being able to spend on the first floor is the limit, and they don’t have the opportunity to come to the second floor often.

Lin En sat by the window, looking out. He could see the densely packed, chaotic houses and the dirty streets. Rainwater washed over the ground, forming black streams that flowed past the homeless children hiding in the narrow streets, accompanied by the howling of dogs.

In a sense, this is a true portrayal of the world of "Fallen Girl".

Lin En withdrew his gaze and fell on Herman. After thinking for a moment, he got straight to the point and said, "Captain Herman, I remember you exchanged information with me before, right?"

Herman was taking a sip of his drink when he put it down immediately after hearing Lin's question. "Ah, that's right. Master Lin, did you find anything?"

"Well, there is some information, but first..." Lin En pointed at Cecilia sitting next to him, "Do you think she looks like the person the Witch Cult is looking for? Cecilia Perez, the top genius of the Holy City Academy! If nothing unexpected happens, she will also be the champion of the Sword Trial Festival! Honestly, I think she is a little too strong."

"what…"

Hermann was stunned for a moment, his eyes fell on Cecilia who was wearing a hat.

Because this girl usually has her hair tied up and looks heroic, but today she is wearing a hat and letting her hair down, so the coldness is suppressed, and she has indeed changed her style.

Of course, the three-no nature has not changed.

Cecilia remained silent all the way, but when she suddenly heard Lin En bring up the topic to her, she was stunned for a moment, then looked at Lin En, and then silently took off her hat.

"Oh, it's Miss Cecilia!" Herman couldn't help but be a little surprised. "Aren't you participating in the sword trial festival?"

"..."

Lin En suddenly realized what was going on: "Yes, aren't you participating in the Sword Trial Festival?"

Cecilia looked at Lin En and said, "I did one thing before I came to find you."

"So what?"

"I'm withdrawing."

"..."

"…ha?!"

Chapter 352 Cecilia "Fell" in the Quarterfinals Again

Who is the champion of the Sword Trial Festival in the game?

Of course it’s the male protagonist Claire.

Although theoretically Cecilia is the strongest among her peers, she met Daisy, the alias of Lavinica, too early. In front of the unique witch's power, it would be difficult for Cecilia to win even if Lavinica only exerted strength of the same level, not to mention that the opponent was as high as level 85!

Cecilia fell on the way to the quarterfinals.

Moreover, they were abused to the point that they had no ability to participate in the resurrection match and were eliminated early.

Of course, this result is also related to "Lynn".

In fact, before fighting Daisy, Cecilia had been severely "ground up" for an entire night. Her energy and spirit were completely worn down, and she was also suffering from the withdrawal effects of the aphrodisiac. She couldn't really exert her full strength, so her defeat was naturally very ugly.

This is also an important reason why she was unable to continue to participate in the resurrection match. When it comes to torturing the two heroines, Vivian and Cecilia, you can always trust "Lin En".

After eliminating this undoubtedly strongest person, the top four naturally fell into the hands of Claire, Glenn, Eunice and Daisy.

Claire and Glenn are quite at odds with each other because of previous events. They are an absolute powder keg. There seems to be a sense of fateful battle between the two of them. It has attracted widespread attention and made them famous!

But on the other side, Eunice was unlucky. She met Daisy and was mistaken for the person she was looking for. She was beaten up, and the result was even worse than Cecilia. She almost died!

It was Claire who saved the dying Eunice.

Then, a war broke out between the Church and the Witch Cult...

Yes, the Sword Trial Festival actually had no results before Lavinica wreaked havoc in Siena, and the final of the Sword Trial Festival continued until after the Witch Cult was pacified.

After getting rid of the perverted element of Lavinica, Glenn played a loser's group final with Eunice. As a result, Glenn lost again, and his confidence and self-esteem were severely damaged. From then on, he became more violent, and Shisha suffered even more cruel abuse.

At the same time, Eunice lost to Claire in the finals, and considering the life-saving grace, this fully established the admiration of the little Lolita and turned her into a free little fan girl.

Yes, that's how the game originally developed.

But the reality is that due to various accidents, this path is inevitably impossible to replicate.

The absence of Daisy made Cecilia invincible, so Lynn loaned her the championship title, confident that she could take first place.

But what he never expected was that Cecilia suddenly withdrew from the competition?!

"Wait, why did you withdraw from the competition?" Lin En was really confused.

This girl's strength in the game is definitely number one, but she was suppressed by Daisy and fell on the way to the quarterfinals.

However, in reality she was even stronger than in the game, and no one was stopping her, but in the end... she ended up in the quarterfinals?

What kind of magical inertia is this? !

Cecilia stared at him in silence for several seconds, then simply said, "Justo also supports this."

"You said Justu...ha..."

To be honest, if it were someone else, Lin En might have some doubts, but now Lin En knows Justo quite well. He is absolutely responsible enough for his students. If he supports this matter, it at least proves that this matter is beneficial to Cecilia or the current situation!

Yes, don’t forget, Lin En and her actions yesterday were completed with Justu’s support!

Although Lynn promised to keep the matter a secret for Mullin, they still had to report the situation in a coherent way, and the meeting with Hermann was probably the main reason why Justo supported Cecilia.

only…

"I mean, there's no need for you to withdraw from the competition right?" Lynn asked doubtfully.

It's not necessary to meet Hermann at this time. Wouldn't it be okay to quickly deal with the opponent like we did yesterday and then set off?

"I'm not interested in the Sword Trial Festival itself. I'll just leave the opportunity to Claire."

"Oh, Claire... I understand if you say that."

The fact is, if Cecilia hadn't withdrawn, Claire wouldn't have won the championship. From that perspective, Cecilia's desire to give up her chance to perform was understandable.

It just makes people a little unhappy.

"Forget it, since you've already withdrawn, there's nothing more to say... So, Captain Herman, do you think she looks like the person the Witch Cult is looking for?" Lin En brought his attention back to the main track.

Of course he knew that Cecilia couldn't be that person, but there were some things he couldn't tell Hermann directly, so he could only take this form of testing.

Then Herman stroked his chin and analyzed, "That shouldn't be the case. Although Miss Cecilia is indeed the leader of this Sword Trial Festival, her strength comes entirely from herself, not from some unimaginable ability."

"Oh..."

Can Herman's meaning be understood as that Eunice actually has some incredible abilities?

Ok…

It seems to be true. The little girl's heterochromatic eyes seem to have some kind of ability. For example, the blue eyes can make magic appear instantly...

Wait, that's not necessarily magic, right?

That kind of ice-attribute attack doesn't require any ritual construction, and its release is clearly more similar to the "Sacred Tree"!

As for that golden eye...

Although Lin En didn't know what that ability was, she seemed to have used it before when fighting against the adventurer Dolores. That decisive reaction was even stronger than the opponent's punch. Perhaps that was the special feature of the golden eyes?

In short, the fundamental reason why the little loli was misunderstood has been found.

"Okay..." Lin En responded, then suddenly avoided the question and said, "However, there is one thing I don't quite understand. You said that the Witch Cult is looking for a girl with witch powers, right?"

"Ah, that's it... Is there something wrong?"

"Of course there's a problem!" Lin En spread his hands. "Look, the Witch Cult can't be searching for witch power just for fun, right? Based on past experience, they're very likely to repeat history. Who knows how many tragedies will happen on this continent, and how many people will die... So, shouldn't we stop the Witch Cult?"

I have to say that Lin En's acting skills and ideas are still very good.

Just like how the little boy Lin En could make Mu Lin run around in circles, his seemingly puzzling questions were actually fishing, clearly trying to lure this contestant who was close to the Witch Cult to come out and explain the fundamental reason!

And the facts did develop in the direction he expected. He saw Herman's expression suddenly become serious. He looked out the window and said in a slightly sad tone:

"Before answering this question... Master Lin, I just saw you looking at the children below with sympathy. However, there are countless children like this even in Siena. Tell me, if I want to save them and let them truly be human, what should I do?"

Chapter 353 The Witch Teaches the Way to Save the Child

What should I do?

When Lynn heard Herman's question, he didn't think about the solution, but first realized that the other party had taken the bait.

The fact is, to this day he still hasn't understood the purpose of the Witch Cult.

This group of witch cult members look like good people, but they don't look like good people.

It seems excusable, but what he did is so cruel...

Lin En was so curious about what they were thinking!

therefore…
