The villain's goal is to save the heroine

These people didn't say anything, not because they had planned to target him, but because the ambiguous posture between him and Yu just now caused a misunderstanding. Maybe they all thought that they had fought a battle all the way in the carriage?

This is really...

"Human nature."

Lin En didn't intend to explain anything. With a wave of his hand, the silk threads of "Senlu" quickly weaved a comfortable chair under his buttocks, and he sat down very simply.

There's no way. Yu's constitution seems to be a little too sensitive. Now he's lying in the carriage drooling. This cannot be explained at all.

But then Elena said, "Okay, Renata, don't dwell on this. Now that Teacher Lin En is here, let's talk about the plan we just decided on again."

I have to say that the Princess' voice is also at the best level, on the same level as Mona, who also has an incredible voice. It should be said that it is very tempting...

but!

What has been decided?

What's his opinion?

Lin En felt a little unhappy. Although he guessed that the other party had no good intentions towards him, he still felt very annoyed by being forced to do the task like this.

But Renata first said "yes" very obediently, and then her tone suddenly turned cold, and she said lightly in an extremely reluctant tone:

"Teacher Lin, according to the plan, we will arrive at the Poison Thorn Forest around dusk tomorrow. This forest was originally pure land, but the monsters that emerged from the Feather Moon Mountains have completely polluted it, and the situation is gradually spreading. Therefore, the church hopes that we can work together to purify it."

"Your Highness has already agreed. Upon arriving at the Poison Thorn Forest tomorrow, Bishop Seaberg will work with the two Saints to set up a magic-removing circle. The Knights will protect His Highness and the two Saints. Claire, I, and you, too, will need to locate and destroy the nest in the Poison Thorn Forest. If all goes well, we'll resolve the problem before sunset, and it won't affect our itinerary. Am I making myself clear enough?"

As expected of the eldest princess's right-hand man, he understood it very well, but asking it deliberately was a bit disgusting, as it seemed as if he didn't understand what people were saying.

However, Lin En was not so defeated by such a small matter.

Although his patience bar was greatly reduced, such things did not stimulate him, so he skipped Renata's name and focused on the "Poison Thorn Forest".

That’s right, it was the dangerous area where Shinuo had gone for the trial before, where monsters like the “human-faced spiders” gathered.

Because this forest was formed not too long ago and the average level of monsters is not high, if you want to pursue actual combat, there will be a group of students who come here specifically to take risks. From an optimistic point of view, it is indeed a good area.

but!

Monsters, after all, were cursed by humans, and they seem to have inherited some human traits. Their estrus period is year-round, and their reproductive capacity is astonishing! Unfortunately, the newly polluted forest lacks the complex ecology of the Yuyue Mountains, with a simple food chain. This naturally leads to the rapid spread of dominant species, making it unsurprising that the pollution is becoming more severe.

In the game, the protagonist group does have a route through the "Poison Thorn Forest". Although they were attacked, it was ultimately just a false alarm. It was mainly used to improve Claire's favor with the princess and did not play a big role in the journey.

but now…

Purify the "Poison Thorn Forest"?

The starting point is good, but things that never happened in the game happened in reality, so there must be something fishy!

So this anomaly is...

Nicole!

Lin En's gaze couldn't help but fall on the pink-haired girl. Suddenly, she raised her head as if she had noticed something, a pure smile blooming on her face, but her eyes were narrowed in a charming way. She was cute, but for some reason, a little creepy.

Just imagine, if purifying the "Poison Thorn Forest" was Nicole's will, what would her relationship with Seaberg become?

"It's not too late to purify it after we come back, right? Otherwise, if we encounter an accident, it will delay the trip," Lin En said, looking away and looking at the eldest princess.

Although he knew that the matter was irreversible, he needed to test the eldest princess's attitude in order to consider whether he should help.

after all…

He could actually just give up, right?

Elena blinked when she heard this, then raised her deep purple eyes and looked at Lin En and said lightly:

"Before dark, no matter what the outcome, the operation is over."

"Just treat it as a test of the bottom... is that what you mean?"

"Yes."

To be honest, Elena is indeed similar to Cecilia in some ways.

Lin En could only spread his hands and said, "Well, since Her Royal Highness the Princess has said so, then I have no objection."

In fact, he wasn't actually sure if this purge was targeting him. After all, reality was so different from the game that it wouldn't be surprising if it started to affect minor incidents.

Then just muddle along!

Anyway, with the "Divine Tree Space" as a backup, it won't be that easy to harm him...

Lynn's only concern was Claire.

Claire is invincible at all costs, and Lynn believes that he has no way to deal with him.

However, now is not a good time to take action.

Claire is not some fool who will be taken advantage of.

At the same time, at his current level, if he wanted to fight tooth and nail, he would have to use the Sword of Destruction more times than last time! Unless something provoked him like Vivian, Claire wouldn't risk the curse to fight another opponent.

As for that woman Renata...

If I remember correctly, the level displayed in the game should be 65, which should be quite high, but she is not a professional magician, but more of a "scholar" like Justu. If they really fight, Lin En is % sure of winning!

In other words, in their line of work, apart from Seaberg, he is the one with the highest regular combat power!

Porto hasn't arrived yet, and taking a hard approach at this time will not benefit anyone.

As he was thinking this,

"Your Highness, dinner is ready..."

The female knight who had pushed her door and definitely reported her came forward, and...

"However, I must apologize. Due to my negligence, I didn't prepare any food for Lord Lin and his lover on this trip. However, I heard that the Noel family is very wealthy, so they must have made all the necessary preparations and don't need to have dinner with us... Am I right, Lord Lin?"

Who is this guy?

Is there such a person in the game?!

I remember you, the one with short blond hair!!

Chapter 427 Nicole wants to reconcile?

Novia Watt.

That’s right, that’s the name of the golden-haired female knight who targeted Lynn.

She pleaded guilty to the princess, and she really punished her. Not only did she order her to be responsible for all night watch matters, she also required her to immediately prepare dinner for Lin En and Yu. This was also an explanation to Lin En, but...

What's the point?

Novia had already said it, which put Lynn in a position that was neither good nor bad.

If he agreed, then he and Yu would have voluntarily separated themselves from the relationship, which was somewhat sensitive given Noel's relationship with the royal family.

But if you don't respond, then you are being shameless—

I told you there's no place for you, but you still refuse to leave. What a disgusting guy!

They probably all think so, right?

What makes people feel frustrated is that although Novia was wrong, it was not a serious offense if you really look into it.

The eldest princess had already carried out the punishment and also comforted him by saying, "Don't worry about it, I will have someone prepare it right away."

And Novia also apologized "sincerely", saying something like "It was just a joke, please don't be angry, Lord Lin En".

Just like Mona back then, the Grand Princess's people all hated Noel with a deep hatred! But Novia's language skills were even more disgusting than Mona's, and the sarcastic tone was really annoying! So much so that Lin En began to look forward to something unexpected happening in the "Poisonthorn Forest"!

Lynn stayed despite herself, and at the end of the dinner...

"Master, the pink-haired girl from the church has been staring at you."

Lin En was thinking about how to take revenge when Yu suddenly bent down and reminded him in his ear.

Of course, Nicole was the only one with pink hair present. When Lin En heard this, he looked across and saw that the girl was supporting her head and staring at him with a relaxed look. There was an incomprehensible emotion hidden in her eyes, which made people feel very bad.

"Do you have any unusual feelings about that child?" Lynn asked in a low voice.

"Hmm... Master, my intuition tells me that she is more dangerous than that Archbishop! You might want to be careful with that girl!"

"is that so?"

Lynn was skeptical.

Regardless, Seaborg is a villain on the same level as "Lynn" and Glenn, and his level of perversion is only higher than those two, but now he has been surpassed by a passerby in the game...

This is really unbelievable.

Lin En thought that maybe Seaberg was hiding too well, and at this moment...

"Everyone, please enjoy your meal."

The eldest princess wiped the corner of her mouth gracefully, stood up from her seat, nodded slightly, and then left the table.

Elena was the one with the highest status among all the people on this mission. Only if she left first could the dinner be officially over, and then everyone could express themselves freely and talk freely.

Of course, it was mainly people like Renata, Claire, and Seaberg who were talking. Lin En was the isolated one, so it would be better for him to sit in the tent and listen to the rain and talk more about things related to Warcraft.

but…

"Mr. Lin, let's talk~"

Lin En was about to leave when Nicole suddenly came up to him with a smile and made an invitation in a sweet tone.

To be honest, Nicole's temperament now is no longer like that of a thirteen or fourteen-year-old child. She looks more like a charming woman, and the kind of woman that is hard to see through, which makes people feel very twisted.

"What do you want to talk about?"

Since Nicole was not an important character in the game, Lynn paid little attention to her.

But after hearing what Tingyu said just now, he felt that he couldn't be too impressed, so he also wanted to see what the other person looked like.

"What are you talking about? Hehehe... Mr. Lin, my brother and my mother were both killed by you, right?" Nicole's pink pupils did not fluctuate at all.

But she wasn't like this before.

Back then, her murderous intent was undisguised, and the subsequent hatred was also naked. However, now, in just a short period of time, she seemed to have reached another level of growth, and both her murderous intent and hatred were hidden, becoming an unfathomable state.

Lin En couldn't help but be silent for a few seconds, his eyes flickered, and then he nodded: "You are right, I killed your brother and your mother..."

"But Mr. Lin doesn't want that, right?" Lin was halfway through his words when Nicole quickly took over. She blinked and said in an innocent tone, "I know they were all burned by the 'Dead Soul Fire'. Even if you don't kill them, they won't be the way I like them anymore, so there's nothing I can do about it...isn't that right?"

Is that the case?

Lynn was skeptical of Nicole, who was so understanding.

In other words, if she hadn't been hanging out with people like Seaberg, he might have believed her a little, but the archbishop had been stabbed by the "Dead Soul Fire". Even though it was still in the early stages, it was a fact that Nicole had been fucked. Lin En would not be stupid enough to believe the other party's nonsense.

"If I had a choice, I don't think I would do that." Lynn responded calmly.

He wasn't trying to please her, but was speaking from his heart. Regardless, he felt guilty towards Nicole, and until that guilt wore off, he would probably give her some leeway.

but…

"Haha, I think so too!" Nicole clapped her hands happily after hearing what Lin En said, squinting her eyes and smiling: "So, Mr. Lin En, what I actually want to talk to you about is reconciliation! After all, I was wrong too! If Mr. Lin En is willing..."

"Nicole!"

Before the girl could finish her words, a serious and slightly angry voice suddenly sounded beside her.

Lin En subconsciously turned his head and saw Seaberg's rather gloomy face, staring at him with an unfriendly look!

Is this...killing someone with a borrowed knife?

This word popped into Lynn's mind.

Although the clergy of the church are not good at fighting, the magic level panel is there after all. If it is Seaberg who purifies the "Poison Thorn Forest", Lin En really has no way to deal with him.

嗏

Correspondingly, it is impossible for Seaberg to kill him instantly.

If the battle reaches a stalemate, the princess's people will be able to react quickly. This kind of thing that is obvious should not be directly revealed, so this assumption does not seem to be tenable.

But then Nicole stood on tiptoe, raised her head and whispered, "Mr. Lin, come to my tent later! I have a secret I want to tell you!"

After saying that, without waiting for Lin En's reaction, he quickly trotted back to Seaberg.

"What did you say to him?" He heard Hiberg ask with a cold face.

But Nicole still smiled and said, "Nothing, Your Excellency the Bishop. I just want to reconcile with Mr. Lin En."
