The shuttle in the second dimension

　Furthermore, in that state, none of the bodies he killed remained intact; they were all chopped into pieces. If it were just one or two people, it would be fine, but once he entered that state, how could Lin Xuan kill only one or two people? He could kill dozens, hundreds, or even thousands. The scenes were extremely bloody and horrifying, like a slaughterhouse, hence his nickname, "The Butcher."

　The sin of killing would also accumulate resentment in Lin Xuan's body, and the resentment accumulated in his body would affect his mental state. Therefore, on the last two days of every month, Lin Xuan would go back to dissipate the resentment accumulated in his body. Especially after the incident two years ago, Lin Xuan became even more keen on dissipating his resentment.

　And these two days were specifically used for Lin Xuan to vent his anger.

　In reality, Lin Xuan's method of dissipating his anger was nothing else but the method he had originally thought of at Ruoye's house. He used the child's innocence to soothe his soul, thus dissipating the accumulated anger within him.

　And now, Lin Xuan was standing in front of a certain orphanage. This orphanage was over a hundred kilometers away from the battlefield where Lin Xuan was. Although it was not far from the battlefield, it had not been baptized by the flames of war and seemed peaceful.

　For four years, he had come here almost every last two days of the month. He had also donated some money to the orphanage, and his kindness had impressed the director of the orphanage. He was always welcoming whenever he came. Furthermore, four years ago, he was only ten years old, which made the director even more welcoming of Lin Xuan to the orphanage...

　Moreover, after four years, Lin Xuan also got along well with the children in this orphanage. At least every time he came, the children were very welcoming to him.

　As soon as he walked into the gate of the orphanage, Lin Xuan saw an old nun walking out. The old nun was none other than the director of the orphanage - Ms. Elena.

　"Dean, are you going out?" Lin Xuan asked as he saw the old nun was about to go out.

　"It's you—" Raising her head and looking at Lin Xuan, the old nun said with a smile, "I'm going out to buy some things."

　"Do you need help, Dean?" Lin Xuan asked the old nun.

　"No need, just go in, those kids are waiting for you~~~" Shaking her head, the old nun smiled.

　"Okay, then Dean, be careful."

　"Don't worry, I'm not so old that I would have problems buying something on the street." The old nun said with a smile.

　"Yes, yes, yes." Lin Xuan still respected this kind old man.

　After watching the old nun leave, Lin Xuan walked into the orphanage. As soon as he walked through the gate, he felt another figure coming towards him from behind.

　If this were a battlefield, Lin Xuan could guarantee that the person behind him would have been beheaded, but this wasn't a battlefield, but rather the orphanage he frequented. Therefore, Lin Xuan knew that the person behind him wasn't an enemy, but a child from the orphanage with whom he had a close relationship.

　However, Lin Xuan didn't immediately expose the child's plan. Instead, he pretended not to know and continued walking forward. Lin Xuan's "noticing nothing" seemed to make the child behind him very proud. Lin Xuan could even hear the child's chuckles.

　Seeing that Lin Xuan had not "discovered" him, the child seemed to feel that the time had come, and suddenly rushed towards Lin Xuan. However, at this moment, the child suddenly found that Lin Xuan had disappeared from his sight at some point.

　At this time, a teasing voice came into the child's ears, letting the child know that he had been discovered a long time ago.

　"You're so naughty, Ke Liya~~~"

Chapter 46

　After the five candidates for the royal election stood in the center and Marcos, the leader of the Royal Guards Knights, announced the start of the next stage, something strange happened.

　Suddenly, a puff of smoke emerged from a crack in the floor between the thrones. It soon enveloped most of the people inside. The dense smoke obscured their vision, causing a moment of panic among those inside the throne room.

　“What are you doing!?” Firut’s shout suddenly rang out in the smoke.

　As Felt cried out, Reinhardt rushed forward, raising the still-sheathed dragon sword high in his hand and slashing down with all his might.

　The next moment, the airflow brought by Reinhard's slash directly blew away the diffuse smoke, exposing the culprit who caused all this.

　It was a dark-skinned old giant, carrying Feruto, attempting to escape from the throne room. He might have been able to escape under the cover of the smoke, but once the smoke cleared, the knights of the Royal Guards surrounded him.

　“Mr. Rom!?” After seeing the person who carried him up and ran away, Firut was stunned.

　Looking at the knights surrounding him, Rom knew that he could not escape. Helplessly, he could only put Firut down, and then let the knights tie him up and push him to the center for trial.

　"Although I don't know who you are, since you sneaked into the king's palace, you cannot escape the death penalty." Marcos walked up to Lord Rom who was pinned to the ground and ordered his sentencing.

　“Stop! You’re hindering Master Rom.” Firut shouted, trying to push away the two knights who were blocking his way.

　"Unfortunately, Lord Firut has publicly stated that he will not participate in the royal election. In this case, I have no reason to obey Lord Firut's orders." Turning to Firut, Marcos said.

　After hearing Marcos' words, Firut glanced at Grandpa Rom who was pinned to the ground, then lowered his head. After a while, Firut seemed to have figured something out, and he slightly grinned and laughed.

　"I understand. I'll participate in the royal election! Just becoming the king is enough, right?" As he said this, Firut pointed at Grandpa Rom who was still pinned to the ground.

　"That old man is my family, take good care of him." Looking at Marcos, Firut ordered.

　"Yes, sir." When Firut expressed his intention to participate in the royal election, Marcos followed Firut's order and asked two guards to take Grandpa Rom away from the throne room and take good care of him.

　Watching Master Rom being led away from the throne room, Lin Xuan raised an eyebrow and joked, "If I didn't know that old man's personality, I would have thought all this was arranged to get Master Felt to agree to participate in the royal election."

　"Perhaps this is fate." Because of Reinhard's departure, it was Julius who stood in front of Lin Xuan. He turned around and said to Lin Xuan.

　"Fate..." Lin Xuan whispered, and suddenly remembered the scenes that happened to him, and couldn't help but smile. "Maybe."

　While Lin Xuan and Julius were talking, Firut and Reinhardt walked onto the stage.

　?

　Next, Firut's speech shocked most of the people present.

　"What a radical speech." Looking at Firut on the stage, and then at the knights and nobles with shocked expressions, Lin Xuan slightly raised the corners of his mouth and smiled.

　After Felt finished his speech, the royal election officially began with the announcement of McLotford, a leader of the Council of Sages.

　-

　After the royal election was officially announced, most of the people between the thrones left. However, the details of the royal election still needed to be discussed, so the five candidates for the royal election and the Sages Association remained between the thrones. Of course, those who stayed also included Lin Xuan and his five knights, as well as Subaru.

　Because they were all issues concerning details and had nothing to do with Lin Xuan and the others, they just stood aside, quietly waiting to discuss where to stay.

　After finishing the discussion, Emilia and the others left one after another.

　After returning to her residence, Lin Xuan saw Rem running towards her in a hurry, but she calmed down when she saw Subaru.

　Lin Xuan knew why Rem was in such a hurry. It was simply because Subaru had played some tricks on her and temporarily sent her away. When she found out, Subaru had already left.

　After comforting Rem and telling her that nothing was wrong, Lin Xuan sat on the chair and quietly watched Emilia question Subaru.

　"Subaru, didn't we agree that you would stay and look after the house? Why did you come to the royal city?"

　"I know I shouldn't break the promise, but I want to help Emilia, even a little bit..." Looking at Emilia, Subaru opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but in the end he lowered his head and said with an apologetic look.

　Seeing Subaru bow his head in apology, Emilia finally didn't blame him. She hadn't let him go in the first place because she didn't want him to force himself. Although the promise was very important to the spirit magician, the kind-hearted Emilia finally forgave Subaru and, after repeatedly admonishing him, left.

　After Emilia left, Lin Xuan and Subaru were the only ones left in the room.

　Looking at Lin Xuan sitting on the chair, Subaru felt for some reason that the temperature in the entire room had dropped a little after Emilia left the room. He wondered if it was his illusion.

　"Subaru, Emilia is very kind, so she can easily forgive your mistake today, but I think it's better to explain some things to you clearly." As he said that, Lin Xuan stood up from the chair and walked towards Subaru.

　Looking at Lin Xuan walking towards him, Subaru suddenly felt an ominous premonition.

　When he reached Subaru, Lin Xuan stopped and looked at Subaru.

　"As a servant of the Mezas family who recommended Emilia, you followed other candidates for the royal election to the throne room. Do you know how other people will view Emilia?" Lin Xuan said in a voice that was so flat that it was almost emotionless, and took a step forward.

　As Lin Xuan took a step forward, Subaru also subconsciously took a step back, as if he was intimidated by Lin Xuan at this moment.

　"Before you left, I told you that both Roswaal and I would guarantee to protect Emilia in the royal city, so I asked you not to be impulsive. But what did you do? You violated the agreement with Emilia, an elven sorcerer. Why? Do you think Emilia will be in danger without your protection? You even wanted to rush out from between the thrones to argue with other candidates for the royal election, and you wanted to argue with the lords of the Council of Sages!? Have you ever thought about what the consequences would be if you rushed out rashly! What kind of impact would it have on Emilia! What would Emilia think!" Lin Xuan grabbed Subaru's collar, and his face gradually became gloomy.

　"Subaru, who do you think you are? What makes you think that Emilia will be in danger without you!? What makes you think that your so-called help is what Emilia wants!? What makes you think that your so-called good for Emilia is really for her own good!? What makes you think that your so-called help is hurting Emilia's heart!?" Lin Xuan loosened Subaru's collar and looked coldly at Subaru, who lost his balance and sat on the ground because he suddenly let go. Looking at his helpless look, Lin Xuan suppressed the urge to punch him, turned around and left.

　Before leaving the room, Lin Xuan stopped at the door, turned his back to Subaru and said to him, "Subaru, when you told me that you wanted to become stronger, your determination was indeed very firm, and I was moved. But in fact, you also know clearly what your so-called purpose of becoming stronger is. This is the last time I will say this to you. Think about it carefully, Subaru." After that, Lin Xuan left the room.

　"I..." Subaru muttered dully, looking at the closed door.

Chapter 47

　I'm really sorry for the delay in updating due to some circumstances in the past two days.

　-

　[Home], this is a name that sounds very warm, and it is also the name of an orphanage.

　Although both are orphanages, compared with [Wakaba House], [Home] seems a bit shabby. However, there is nothing that can be done about it. Not to mention the local economy, the fact that [Wakaba House] is an orphanage under the first-class noble family of Guideyuan in RB is something that [Home] cannot compare to.

　However, while the conditions weren't as good as [Wakaba House], the atmosphere in [Home] was no less than that of [Wakaba House]. In fact, due to some factors caused by the war and because it was not far from the battlefield and was sometimes affected, the children in [Home] were more united than those in [Wakaba House].

　Although this was Feizhou, the [Homeland] was home to people from all over the world. For example, Ke Liya, the child outside the door who was about to play a prank on Lin Xuan, was a white child. She and her family had originally come to this place for tourism, but the sudden outbreak of war had left her parents orphaned. When Lin Xuan first met her, she was like a block of ice, exuding a cold and distant air, far from the lively and energetic person she is now. In fact, many children in the [Homeland] were in a similar situation to Ke Liya.

　When Lin Xuan first found the orphanage, he saw only gloomy, disillusioned children. He was ready to find another home, as the children in the orphanage offered nothing but negativity, completely failing him. However, after meeting the old nun, Ms. Elena, he decided to stay.

　Frankly, Lin Xuan admired Sister Elena. Without her, these children might still be mired in the pain of losing their loved ones, unable to extricate themselves. Back then, after six months of battle, he already exuded a kind of hostility that frightened ordinary people. But the kind old nun not only ignored him, but also embraced him with her kindness, infecting him. At that time, Lin Xuan felt that being by the side of this kind old woman slowly melted away the hostility he had built up within him. This was why he chose to stay.

　After choosing to stay, Lin Xuan worked with the kind and gentle old nun to take care of the children who had lost their families in the war. Although the effect was not very obvious at the beginning, everything got better as time went by.

　In fact, upon learning that most of these children's relatives had perished in the war four years prior, Lin Xuan remained silent. Four years prior, the war suddenly unleashed by the [Liberation Corps] had cost many children their parents, and had also caused many innocent civilians to lose their cherished families and friends. The children in [Homeland] were only a small fraction of the countless victims. As a participant in that war, Lin Xuan's hands were perhaps stained with the blood of these children's families. However, Lin Xuan felt no regret for his actions, nor did he feel that he had done anything wrong.

　Perhaps it was because he was in the world of godslayers, and because he suddenly changed from an ordinary man to a godslayer who could dominate the fate of many countries, some of Lin Xuan's concepts were shattered, making him start to become unscrupulous, making him a little lost, and his originally "normal" three views began to become distorted. He changed from an ordinary person who had never even killed a chicken to a butcher who could kill people without any feeling at all.

　In reality, don't be fooled by Lin Xuan's usual cheerful, easygoing demeanor, which doesn't seem like a formidable master. But how many people know that beneath his amiable exterior lies a nearly icy heart? To those he values, Lin Xuan might be easygoing, easygoing, and extremely protective. But for those outside his circle of concern, how could Lin Xuan care less? In his eyes, their lives and deaths are none of his business.

　It's fair to say that if it weren't for the need to dissipate the accumulated resentment within him, Lin Xuan wouldn't have cared about the lives of the children in [Homeland]. Even if they died before his eyes, he wouldn't have blinked an eye. But after four years of getting along and establishing a close relationship with [Homeland], if anyone dared to touch anyone in [Homeland], it would have crossed Lin Xuan's line and would have resulted in the Butcher's revenge...

　-

　"Brother Lin Xuan, are you going to school now?" Ke Liya hugged Lin Xuan's neck from behind and hung her whole body on Lin Xuan, then poked her head out from behind Lin Xuan with a look of curiosity and asked.

　"Why, why are you asking this question all of a sudden?" Lin Xuan asked while playing chess with a child.

　"No, I heard the aunt next door say that her child is already in junior high school. Thinking that you, Brother Lin Xuan, are already fourteen years old, I was curious and wanted to ask." Ke Liya asked, swaying restlessly on Lin Xuan.

　Lin Xuan was not surprised that Ke Liya was curious about these things. After all, he usually didn't tell them much about his own affairs. His current identity was not suitable for telling them.

　"Is that so~~~" Lin Xuan murmured and continued, "I didn't go to school."

　"Is that so~~~ I was just wanting to ask Brother Lin Xuan what your school is like~~~~" After hearing Lin Xuan's answer, Ke Liya muttered with disappointment.

　Listening to Ke Liya's disappointed voice, Lin Xuan sighed helplessly, and then asked, "Why, does our Ke Liya want to go to school?"

　"No~2.7~~I'm just curious~~~" Although he was denying it, he was still a child after all, and the desire in his words could not be concealed well, and Lin Xuan heard it all.

　Lin Xuan reached out and rubbed Ke Liya's little head, then smiled. "Don't worry, when the time comes, I'll ask my superiors to help you get the chance to go to school."

　"Huh? Really?!" Hearing Lin Xuan's words, Ke Liya immediately got rid of her original disappointment and became excited. However, she soon realized that her reaction was a bit too much and said angrily. "I... I don't want to go to school. I just heard the news and I'm happy for everyone~~~"

　Looking at Ke Liya's expression, Lin Xuan smiled, shook his head and said.

　"Yes, yes, Ke Liya is happy for everyone. Ke Liya is the best~~~~"

Chapter 48 Discovery

　Lin Xuan and his group did not stay in the capital for long. The day after the royal election officially began, they returned to Mezas Territory.

　After returning to the mansion, Lin Xuan seemed like a different person. He often ran out. Except for eating, sleeping, and training Subaru in the afternoon, he was rarely in the mansion during normal times. It was okay at the beginning and no one cared, but after it happened many times, Emilia and the others also noticed Lin Xuan's strange behavior.
