The villain's goal is to save the heroine

Lin En turned his head reflexively, and saw Vivian suddenly rushing towards him with a ferocious expression, holding a dagger in her hand, and stabbed it towards his heart!

What…does this mean?!

Lin En's thoughts were instantly turned into Muggle ones. In a split second, he didn't have much room to think. The magic bonus of a high-level existence allowed him to arrive first. He grabbed the opponent's neck and pressed him to the ground!

"Oh!"

then…

"Clang-"

The dagger then fell to the ground.

Chapter 373 Vivian's Little Plan

Vivian's hair spread on the ground like silk and scattered on her face. Her posture was similar to the first time Lin En saw her, but her expression was calmer and her emotions more stable. Excitement flashed in her sapphire eyes. She didn't look like a normal person from beginning to end.

Obviously, the girl is still the same girl, but the assassination may not really be an assassination.

For Vivian now, whether hurting Lin En or being hurt by Lin En is what she expects.

However, whether it is hurting or being hurt, things are not as simple as they seem.

If Vivian becomes completely insane because of a breakdown, Lynn won't want to save this character every time he plays the game.

Yes, the little coward is destined to suffer injustice. Even if she turns evil, she still takes the path of giving up and being wronged.

Her purpose of hurting others may just be to make herself feel more wronged and hurt, and then at some point, choose to die without hesitation.

Vivian's logic may be extreme, but it is actually not complicated.

And this time...

"Oh!"

There was a sound of something heavy falling to the ground nearby, and the little girl fell off the silk-woven "bed", screaming "Ah" and shouting loudly:

"Damn Lin! Let go of that busty girl! Tsk! Are you an idiot? Her magic power has been drained out, how can she touch you?!"

If only Lin En and Vivian were present, Lin En would probably have to look at the girl and worry for a while.

But with the little Lolita here, and this is a self-torture trick where she just jumped off the "hospital bed", who can ignore it?

"Hey, hey, I didn't do anything to her, why are you so excited?" Lin En quickly and carefully controlled the silk thread to lift up the little Loli.

"Yes... yes! Senior Eunice, don't get excited, I... I was just joking..." Vivian also hurriedly explained.

But Eunice was a stickler for argument, and she immediately started yelling, "Ah, it hurts, it hurts! What the hell are you two doing?! So it's all my fault, right?"

"..."

Lynn didn't want to talk anymore.

Eunice is not only a nitpicker, but also a girlfriend-type nitpicker. The more she answers, the more she gets into trouble.

But Vivian had to deal with it, so she trotted back to the little girl and explained like a child who had made a mistake, "It's...it's my fault. Senior Eunice, please stop making such a fuss. I...I was really just joking with the teacher...because, Senior Eunice needs medical treatment quickly, right? So, I'm actually helping! I've actually studied this barrier thoroughly. There are a total of six centers. If they can be destroyed at the same time, the barrier will collapse directly...Of course, if it can't be destroyed, it doesn't matter if it's just disturbed. That means the barrier will become extremely fragile, and it will be absolutely no problem to leave!"

Lynn didn't seem surprised to hear Vivian say that.

In fact, when Vivian responded to the question, she only said two words, "over there". In the context, she was referring to Cecilia's location, but she obviously deliberately confused the concept and was actually responding to the location of the center of the barrier.

Of course Lin En would be suspicious, and if she pretended to launch a sneak attack, Lin En would of course fight back.

But, what she obviously wanted was for Lin En to fight back!

From Vivian's perspective, she said that to help the teacher leave the barrier, but the teacher not only did not thank her, but attacked her indiscriminately. How could she not feel wronged?

I'm afraid the harder Lin En hits her, the happier she will be?

and…

So, perhaps the meaning of "liar" is -

Is she confident that she can irritate him with this method?

Well, Lin En had to admit that if he hadn't played the game and didn't know what kind of person Vivian was, she might really succeed!

What a plan!

Lin En couldn't help but glance at the girl who was coaxing the little loli, but he didn't say anything in the end. Instead, he casually inserted a branch of the "Sacred Tree" as a mark, and then walked alone in the direction he had just explored.

In any case, leaving the barrier is the top priority right now.

But when he got closer, he found that there was nothing at the location of the silk thread, or it was something that could not be seen by the naked eye. It was no different from other places. Even if people just passed by, they would not notice anything unusual!

Of course, someone like Cecilia would definitely find something, but unfortunately, she had no experience in "building a house" and was simply unable to find such an area within such a large barrier.

Or even if they are found, according to Vivian, there are still five more. What is the probability of gathering them all?

It's truly Ravinica's work. Breaking the barrier with skill is incredibly difficult...

Do not!

It should be said that Vivian is worthy of her name. She can even find the flaw in the barrier created by Lavinica so quickly. Isn't she a genius?!

Lin En studied it for a while, trying to figure out something, but he had no knowledge at all, so he could only pull out a branch and insert it into the center, and then return directly.

When he returned, Vivian seemed to have almost coaxed the little girl.

Or perhaps the clever little Lolita must have noticed something and stopped bothering Vivian.

After he came into view, Vivian came up to him with a smile, staring at him with her sapphire eyes and said:

"Teacher, are you angry?"

Lin En folded her hands and asked, "Do you think I'm angry?"

Vivian looked at him and fell silent for a moment. She didn't answer his question, but pointed to the side.

"This way."

Lin En also nodded:

"it is good."

Then the two of them said nothing more and headed straight to the next hub.

They arrived at the next one about five minutes later, and when the fine thread once again keenly captured the slight touch of passing through the water, Lynn inserted another branch into the center.

The journey was very smooth.

And the same went smoothly in the next four areas.

After Vivian's little plan failed and no new incidents occurred, everything became simple.

As for the last thing...

"Vivian, where is Cecilia?" Lynn asked.

Vivian's face had turned bored. "This way, away from the center, it's much easier to break the barrier. Senior Cecilia is also there."

Obviously, the girl had thought of everything from the beginning, including the location of the core and the most appropriate place to break the barrier. These were all planned.

Yes, things were just as Lynn had imagined. Although Vivian was going to extremes, she was not far from the level of a game.

but…

"Teacher, have I helped you?" Vivian suddenly came closer and asked.

Her eyes were wide open, and she looked a little scary, but not that scary. In any case, Lin En didn't feel anything.

"Of course, we wouldn't be able to leave this place easily without you here."

"That's great... Don't worry, teacher, I will continue to work hard, hehe... hehe..."

"..."

If possible, I still hope Claire can straighten Vivian out as soon as possible...

As they said this, Lin En and his companions had already arrived at the last stop.

In the field of vision, Cecilia was still lying on the ground, seemingly in a coma. After checking, it was found that there was nothing wrong with her body, but she could not be awakened. It was probably that her consciousness was still sealed in Lavinica's memory, or there was some other means.

Of course, Lin En couldn’t care less about so many things now. Now that things had come to this, leaving the barrier was the top priority!

"Grow!"

Lin En directly activated the branches that could reproduce infinitely!

Chapter 374: Situation outside the barrier

Hua Hua Hua——

The continuous torrential rain poured down into Siena like a torrential downpour.

The environment is dim, but the light is bright.

It was like three or four in the morning. Looking down from the sky, one could see dozens of holy lights shining like a chessboard all over the city. Although they supported the bottom line, they could not support the light. One could only see a little light in the city and the cold spires washed by rain in the dim shadows.

There was no wind or thunder in this rainstorm.

Between heaven and earth, a mysterious dividing line cleaved the world in two. Rain, suffused with the "Dead Soul Fire," stained the sky above in a murky darkness, while the bottom line, supported by the radiance of light, purified the air below, leaving it in its original form. Two diametrically opposed forces forcibly carved two worlds.

However, the glory is fading, and dark clouds are pressing down on the city, threatening to destroy it.

Under the heavy rain, amidst the brilliance, countless pale ghost hands took to their own devices. Wherever they landed, they took root and sprouted, swaying like waterweed on the city walls, rooftops, and spires, or simply standing tall in the streets, dancing and crawling, turning the entire Siena into a cesspool of maggots.

However, Seaberg had prepared the "Purification Magic Circle" from the outset, maintaining the foundation for everyone's actions amidst the torrential downpour of "Death Soul Fire." Countless blurry shadows could be seen moving through the city, as if shouts of death and cries for help were heard. It was as if someone was dying, as if someone was crying. But the rain blocked everything out, transforming the world into a cruel silent drama.

There is no doubt that Lavinica's influence on Siena has exceeded the limits seen in the game!

This disaster directly covered most areas of the city. The falling ghost hands circled countless areas and spread to the surrounding areas. The power of the undead continued to erode the sacred glory, but with the end of a great war, this situation was alleviated to the greatest extent.

Yes, at this moment, the Arc de Triomphe standing in Siena, symbolizing victory, has been completely wiped out!

The square where the Sword Trial Festival was held completely disappeared, replaced by a terrifying crater that looked like a nuclear explosion. The surrounding buildings were completely blown away. Judging from the destroyed terrain, it was definitely a brutal battle that far exceeded the content of the game!

However, although the main battle is over, things are far from over!

Another difference from the game was that Lin En noticed that Siena's "Guardian Barrier" was also activated.

Kafa's technology tree should focus on "barriers". Each city has its own solid "guard barrier".

Siena is known as the holy city that has never fallen, so the power of its "Guardian Barrier" is self-evident!

This is actually illegal.

The "Guardian Barrier" was originally a super barrier used in wartime, requiring vast amounts of manpower and material resources simply to activate! Yet, now it was being used to fight a single individual to the death. It was easy to imagine that this fight had become a fight to the death!

Lin En guessed that the opening of the "Guardian Barrier" might have been Mandel's doing...

Because in the game, Lavinica was certain to die, most likely under Mandel's surveillance. But in reality, not only did he not know Lavinica's details, but Mandel also possessed unimaginable necromancy. If it weren't for the extremes, Lavinica would have escaped unscathed.

I think Mulin refused to confess just to avoid this situation, but Mandel had reasons to kill Lavinica at all costs, so things could only be like this.

“How…how did you become like this?” The usually arrogant little Lolita couldn’t help but look horrified when she saw Siena’s current state.

The Sword Trial Festival was a rare grand event. Just a few hours ago, it was bustling with the sound of gongs and drums. However, now it has turned into a spooky city shrouded in the power of the undead. No matter who it was, it would be hard to hide the horror in their hearts at the disparity between the two.

"If you keep bragging in the barrier, you'll probably see something even worse." Lin En complained after hearing this.

He was naturally terrified at first sight, but the Ice Heart Pendant quickly calmed him down. He immediately wove silk threads into a shield to block the Dead Soul Fire, using the infinite growth of the sacred tree branches as a paraglider, and led the three women back to the edge of the giant pit shrouded in holy light.

Yes, this place has temporarily become a concentrated camp.

The guards have cleared out the surrounding area. After more than half a month of sorting out by Mona, the waste is now usable. They set up tents, collect supplies, carry out rescue operations, or pass on information. Everything is busy but not chaotic, and everything is in good order.

I have to say, Mona's ability in this area is quite remarkable!

As for those who left the garrison aside, most of those left were priests of the church.

While the clergy's "holy power" had a considerable restraining effect on the "undead," the first priority after the war was rescue work. They played a supporting role, rebuilding the "light barrier" to block the rain. Then, enveloping it with holy light, they healed wave after wave of nobles and merchants.

As Lin En passed by the road, he heard countless words of gratitude:

"Oh my God...! God! Thank you! Thank you for letting me live...! I swear, I will be your devout believer for the rest of my life!!"

"It's so warm... tears... tears can't stop falling... I'm still alive... hahahaha... I'm still alive..."

"I want to join the church! Please, I'll do anything, just let me join the church! I already... I already don't want to experience that kind of horror again..."

Clearly, these high-ranking nobles and wealthy merchants had never experienced any major terror in the past. But now, under the strange power of Lavinica's undead spirit, they had fallen to the bottom of both their physical and mental states. In this apocalyptic darkness, hoping to obtain the salvation and protection of a ray of holy light, they had begun to swear to join the church.

This is almost consistent with the development of the game, and even more effective. The influence of the church has skyrocketed!
