Wearing black silk for a foreign woman

Linde said nothing, but swung his sword directly.

"Are you trying to completely piss me off?" Lin De said calmly, his tone calm because he was extremely angry. "If so, congratulations, you are very successful."

The person who appeared in front of Linde this time was none other than Linde's biological aunt, Kongnan's only sister, Havoise Hunter.

If Linde hated Kongnan more than he loved him, then he only hated Havoisai. Because his mother died very early, Linde did not receive maternal love when he was young. The missing maternal love was projected by Linde to his aunt Havoisai. Although this aunt did not like Linde very much, she at least gave him some help, which was considered to have fulfilled part of the obligations of a relative.

But after Kongnan died, Harvoisai, who succeeded him, exiled Linde. Before exiling him, he accused Linde of poisoning Kongnan. The huge contrast between the two brought Linde hatred, which was stronger than his hatred for his father Kongnan.

"It seems that I have achieved the opposite effect?" This time, before Linde's sharp blade could strike him, the other party removed his disguise. "Then how should I communicate with you?"

“…Jerusalem in black stockings?”

"what?"

"Nothing." Lind continued with a straight face. "You don't have to beat around the bush and create a different image. Just show me your true self, Mr. Cardo."

Linde didn't beat around the bush and directly revealed the other party's true identity. In fact, the other party's identity was not difficult to guess, and one could figure it out with a little thought.

"Hahahaha~" After his identity was revealed, the shadow raised his head and laughed. "I thought I was hiding well, but I didn't expect you to find out. You are worthy of being the son of Kong Nan who never falls off his horse."

"The second time." Linde expressionlessly chopped off the man's head with his sword. "If it happens a third time, I'll leave."

"Sorry, sorry, I am well aware of your hatred for your father and aunt. I will not offend you again. After all, this is not conducive to our communication." The other party said, and finally revealed his true face, a very gay Cardo.

"Shall we change places?" After revealing his true form, Cardo pointed at the surroundings and said.

"Whatever." Lind said indifferently.

The next moment, the surrounding scene changed again, this time it became the New Dundalk Camp.

"You can even reproduce this place..." Linde frowned.

"It's nothing. My abilities are unlimited here." Cardo waved his hand. "Since I have shown my sincerity, I hope you can also give me the necessary cooperation."

"I represent the Soulless Organization and want to know who you are."

"Or what you are."

Chapter 463: Sea of ​​Souls

Cardo's question made Lind, who had always had an expression as if he was ready to kill anyone since entering here, show a second expression.

Confused.

After a brief moment of confusion, Linde put his hand on the hilt of the sword again. Just now he wanted to be his father, but now he is calling him a piece of shit! ?

"You misunderstood again, Mr. Linde." Cardo looked at Linde's unfriendly expression, smiled bitterly and waved his hand. "What an impulsive young man."

"You are still young if you are not impulsive!" Linde said angrily. "And you just called me a nobody again, didn't you?!"

"No, no, no, that's not what I meant. You are nothing."

“You’re cursing!!”

"...Can we have a good communication?" Cardo, who had always looked like he had "everything under control", finally showed an expression of exhaustion.

"Communicate well? Sure! Tell me what organization you are first!"

Cardo stared at Lind for a long time, then sighed helplessly and said, "Through that knight, I have told you the name of the Soulless Organization. In all this time, have you not asked those two beings named God about us?"

"No, I've been very busy lately and don't have time to care about these unimportant things." Lind lied.

Didn't Lind ask about the Soulless? Of course he did, he asked Amora, the Earth Mother, and Neos, the God Emperor. Amora had never heard of the name of the Soulless, but Neos obviously knew something, but because he stood him up, he still hadn't read the scripture that he asked the Sister of War to give him, and he refused to tell him about the Soulless.

It’s not that Lind doesn’t care about the Soulless. In fact, Lind cares a lot about the Soulless, but this doesn’t prevent Lind from technically lying about it at this moment.

"This is really... a complicated feeling." A cross appeared on Cardo's forehead, as if he was angry that his organization was treating this as an insignificant issue. "Mr. Linde, I solemnly remind you not to underestimate our Soulless Organization."

"Then first tell me what you soulless people are."

“…We are not things.”

"Yes, yes, you are things."

"Let's stop this childish bickering, shall we?"

"You started it." Linde raised the corners of his mouth.

So far, Cardo's efforts to gain the initiative in communication by creating a sense of mystery were thwarted by Lind's unreasonable punches. Cardo was also somewhat helpless and began to introduce himself.

"Do you know what soul is? A soulless person is someone without a soul." Cardo returned to his original elegant and calm demeanor.

"Yeah, that's correct nonsense, and then what?" Lind said with dead fish eyes.

"Then do you know where the soul goes after a person dies?" Cardo said, pointing to the ground below. "It's here, the Sea of ​​Souls."

"The Soul Sea has different names. Some call it the God's Realm, and some call it the Chaos Demon Realm. But we like to call it the Soul Sea. All intelligent creatures with souls will come here after death, just like a drop of water merging into the sea."

“And a soulless person is one who has no soul.”

Linde still had a nonchalant expression on his face, but he was serious inside and was listening carefully to every word the other person said.

"I'm glad you're willing to calm down and listen." Noticing that Lind had calmed down and stopped interrupting him, Cardo nodded in satisfaction. He had been trying to take the initiative in the communication, but had never succeeded. Now he finally felt something.

"What are you so happy about? Keep talking!" Linde urged, frowning, asking the other party to continue.

"...In addition to being the place where the souls of intelligent beings go after death, every soul has a projection in the Sea of ​​Souls. The difference is the strength."

"Every soul has a soul projection in the sea of ​​souls, just like a drop of water in the ocean, and the projections of billions of souls converge into the ocean of souls."

Hearing this, Linde frowned slightly, thinking about the other party's words.

Cardo was also observing Lind's reaction, especially when he mentioned billions of souls, hoping to see some surprise on Lind's face, but to no avail. Lind remained very calm throughout.

Lind was not moved by the so-called hundreds of millions. In this world, which was still at the level of society from the late Middle Ages to the Renaissance, the unit of 100 million might be shocking, but in the world before Lind crossed over, the unit of 100 million was already a regular unit. The population was expressed in 100 million, small goals were also expressed in 100 million, and the Federal Reserve's national debt was 1 trillion.

Rather than billions, Lind cares more about concepts such as soul and soul projection.

Since the relationship between Linde and the other party is not friendly from any perspective, and they have not even signed a non-aggression treaty, Linde cannot easily believe every word the other party says. But for the convenience of thinking, Linde can first assume that what the other party said is true, and then do a thought experiment.

Then soon, Linde thought of a suspicious point.

"You said that you soulless people are people without souls?" Linde frowned. "If you don't have souls, wouldn't that be equivalent to undead spirits? Why can you still think?"

"This is not something you can understand now."

"You yourself don't know the principle, right?" Linde sneered.

"...You are very talented in challenging other people's tolerance." Cardo said expressionlessly.

"You are also very talented in tolerating provocations from others." Lind retorted expressionlessly.

Before traveling through time, Lind was still a medical student. When he was in school, his boss, no, his mentor, said that we don't understand the workings of our brain as well as we understand the moon. Although Lind didn't know how much humans understood the moon, it was true that humans were far from familiar with the brain.

In this case, it is normal for soulless people to not know why they can still think without a soul.

"Since you said you are soulless, then you shouldn't have a projection in the sea of ​​souls, right?" Lind continued to analyze. "Then how can you appear here?"

"You are very smart, much smarter than many of your peers. I can't believe you are only fourteen years old." Cardo nodded in appreciation and clapped his hands vigorously. "But I have already answered the question you were concerned about. Is it your turn to answer mine?"

"What on earth are you?"

Chapter 464: Lind's Projection

"Are you done yet?!" Hearing that Cardo had changed the subject again, Lind "angrily" grasped the sword at his waist, ready to strike again.

"Please be mature and calm, Mr. Linde." Cardo felt that his brain was going to explode. "I didn't mean to call you a thing or not a thing! I just asked you directly, what kind of existence are you?"

Didn't Linde know what the other party meant? Of course he knew, but Linde also knew very well that in this situation, he must not be led by the other party and say whatever he asked.

"I'm sorry, I'm only fourteen years old, still a child, it's inevitable that I'm not mature and calm." Lind was playing rogue.

"Oh? An immature child who is only fourteen years old but has already had in-depth interactions with four members of the opposite sex?"

"...Hey, what do you want to ask?"

In a short period of time, the two sides completed several verbal attacks and defenses, and Cardo was also very happy that he could finally make Lind show such a frustrated expression. For noble men, being a father at the age of fourteen was nothing. Although it was not a common phenomenon, it was not uncommon. Due to the custom of being an adult at the age of sixteen, it was common for nobles to have children before getting married.

But Cardo could see that Lind cared about this matter very much, or at least he kept it secret.

"I just said that every soul has a projection in the Soul Sea. The Soul Sea is formed by the countless soul projections." Cardo explained. "Different souls have different projection strengths in the Soul Sea. The projection of a mortal is equivalent to a... small spark."

"Not a candle?" interrupted Linder.

"Candle? Haha, the soul projection of a mortal is not worthy of being compared to a candle." Cardo said contemptuously. "If you really want to compare it to a candle, you have to be at least a baron."

Here we go again, the argument that aristocrats are superior to commoners.

"In the Sea of ​​Souls, the intensity of the projection is directly related to the strength of the soul's owner. The more powerful the person, the stronger the projection in the Sea of ​​Souls. For example, the intensity of the two Holy Grail Knights in the Sea of ​​Souls is like a torch."

"Then do you want to know how strong your soul is?"

"Do not want to know."

"You can't fool me. I know you want to know." Cardo continued speaking at his own pace. "Do you know what your soul is equivalent to in the Sea of ​​Souls?"

"little boy?"

"A lighthouse!" Cardo ignored Lind's joke. "Your soul! In the sea of ​​souls! As eye-catching as a lighthouse in the ocean at night!"

"But this is not the most amazing thing!" Without waiting for Lind to interrupt, Cardo continued to speak excitedly. "Souls as strong as lighthouses have appeared before, such as the God Emperor who is now sitting on the golden throne and has turned into a dried corpse, but they also gradually became stronger. The strength of the soul will gradually increase as the owner grows, which is normal."

"But you did become stronger suddenly, without any signs. When your light appeared, the entire sea of ​​souls shook, just like a meteorite falling into the sea. But before that, your soul had always been insignificant, just a spark that is slightly hotter than that of a mortal."

"And then something even more unreasonable happened! Not long after the storm that shook the entire sea of ​​souls ended! The light of your soul weakened, gradually shrank, and eventually turned into a ball of light, a dazzling ball of light without any cracks or gaps."

Cardo became more and more excited as he spoke, and even seemed crazy, while Lind, the person involved, remained calm, as if he was a patient with bipolar disorder having a manic episode.

If you have lithium carbonate or sodium valproate on hand, give him a tablet.

"As expected of a soul that can easily reject the temptation of the Chaos God, your will is really strong." Noticing that Lind was not instigated by him, Cardo saluted to show his respect. "As I just said, your soul is too special, so special that even the most knowledgeable scholars have never heard of it. Therefore, I and the Soulless Organization I belong to want an answer."

"You, what on earth are you?"

After Cardo finished his question, he looked at Lind quietly, waiting for Lind's answer.

Lind just looked at Cardo quietly, with an expressionless face, making it impossible to tell what he was thinking.

Again, due to Cardo's identity, Lind could not easily believe every word he said, but Lind felt that 80% of what he said was true, and even if he had some reservations, most of it should be the truth.

Regardless of the authenticity issue, what Cardo said was true. Then why was the projection of his soul in the sea of ​​souls so special...

Are you a time traveler?

"I don't know what you're talking about." He naturally couldn't reveal his identity as a time traveler. This was the most basic secret. "I'm just an ordinary person."

"Ordinary people!? Ha! Ordinary people!" Cardo laughed as if he had heard a great joke. After laughing for a long time, Cardo stopped. "Mr. Linde, you have a good sense of humor, but this joke is inappropriate, just like that mummy saying that he is not a god."

"Of course, I also expected that you would not easily reveal your true identity, but it doesn't matter, I have been prepared." Cardo looked determined. "Why do you think I went to so much trouble to mislead the young knight and transform it into a special Chaos Egg?"

"To complete a ritual, a ritual that will isolate your soul in the sea of ​​souls." Cardo said with determination. "Here, as long as I don't let you go, you will be trapped here for ten days, ten months, or even ten years."

"I am very curious about how much patience you have."

"Also, don't expect you to be able to come and go as easily as before. Unless I am defeated in reality, there is absolutely no way you can return to that young body on your own."

"Is that so? Then I feel relieved." Linde suddenly laughed.

"What?" Lind's reaction made Cardo stunned again.

"I don't know anything about the rituals of the Sea of ​​Souls, but since you just said it, as long as you in reality are defeated, I can go back, right?"

"In that case, I have great trust in my companions. They will definitely be able to defeat you."

"I admire that you trust your followers so much, but unfortunately, this is not possible..." Before he could finish his words, Cardo's proud expression suddenly changed drastically, becoming distorted and hideous, as if he had suddenly endured some unbearable weight in his life.

"See, I was right." Linde said with a smile.

Chapter 465 Back to Reality

Cardo, who had always been full of confidence and looked like he had everything under control, suddenly changed his expression and changed rapidly in a very short time.

From the initial shock, to panic, to a flushed face, as if holding his breath, and then it was as if his facial expressions were out of control, with water coming out of every part of his face that could come out.

Lind didn't know what happened to the other party, but it was definitely not a good thing, and it was related to the real Cardo. Although he didn't know what happened, Lind was sure that the beastman outside must have succeeded.

"See, I was right, wasn't I?" Lind crossed his arms and looked at Cardo with the same expression as before, as if everything was under control.

"You...you...stinky boy!" Cardo roared with his last bit of strength, as if he was bearing some unbearable weight in his life, and even his voice was distorted in the end.

With a sharp roar, a visible ripple spread out, and everything in front of Lind collapsed. Then the next moment, Lind went back and returned to his own body.
