147. Run away~

After the World-Devourer departed, the Imperium began to clean up the mess it had left behind.

When a dragon is roaming in the sky, no one will stand still and wait for death, so even though countless buildings are destroyed, miraculously no one dies.

Of course, the more important reason is that the World Devourer's purpose in coming here is not to destroy.

It comes here just to satisfy its curiosity and thirst for knowledge.

When its curiosity and thirst for knowledge are satisfied, it flaps its wings and flies away without any intention of staying.

Therefore, the destruction of the imperial capital was mainly concentrated on various buildings and streets.

For a place ravaged by the final boss of Dark Light IV, the Imperial Capital's ending was quite respectable.

"But did that guy really just confirm how I killed the god-forsaken creature and then leave? How willful and hilarious..."

Of course, for Lin Yinxi, who had personally confronted the World Devourer and experienced all of that, he didn't find it funny at all, he just felt speechless.

Because of this, the second audience with the Emperor by the Knights of the Silver Dawn was naturally postponed.

In Aurora's words, everyone would have to wait in the palace for at least another month.

When something big like this happens, the usual practice is to send all the guests away first and then adjust the itinerary so that they can visit again at a later time.

Although the reason is unknown, it is "said" that Casillas did not allow everyone to return.

As for Aurora who was "rumored", while emphasizing that she didn't know the reason, he didn't pay much attention to the look in Lin Yinxi's eyes.

Because there were more than one or two things worth his thinking about during this period.

".......She must have seen it all."

Ever since Lin Yinxi confronted the World Devourer, the way Cassilia looked at him had changed dramatically.

He saw an unusual determination in her eyes, as if she was determined to take him for herself and make him her own.

Despite this, and thanks to this, all members of the Knights received superb royal treatment.

Even Aurora and the Knights General were puzzled by the thoughtful hospitality, and kept asking themselves: "How could they enjoy such a luxurious hospitality?"

Well... I can only say that the solemn reception the Knights received was very similar to what they received in the Holy Kingdom.

"Minerva, would you like to study the crystal scroll?"

"You finally came to see me?!"

While Aurora said she had work to do and had to leave for a while, and the leaders of the Knights also volunteered to help their former subordinates clean up the chaos in the royal capital, Lin Yinxi went to see Minerva.

He uses the crystal scroll as temptation and asks her to convince Casillas.

He stated firmly at the time that if he wanted to find the crystal scroll, he had to convince Cassilia to let them go and help him get new weapons.

Anyway, this is not a losing deal for Minerva.

Lin Yinxi's plan was indeed very effective. After Minerva's "persuasion" of Cassilia for several hours with loud noises, rich sounds and brilliant colors, he finally got the permission to leave the palace as he wished.

No matter what, Lin Yinxi felt that he had to do something within his ability as soon as possible...

Because he doubted that, based on the interest Casillas was showing in him now, he wouldn't be surprised if he woke up one day and found himself lying in Casillas' bed.

Liz once said, "A woman can have as many wives as she wants, but I hope she can accept all the firsts." The popes also said, "Polygamy is allowed." They all allowed him to have a harem, but Cassilia was different. Cassilia's possessiveness and exclusivity were extremely strong.

"And it doesn't mean we'll just randomly and wantonly increase the number of women..."

Liz, Florita, and Luna, these three people alone are enough to share the love in his heart and touch his conscience.

He is also "pure love" okay, especially for Liz.

"Hey, the crystal scroll—"

"Didn't I tell you? After I get my new weapon!"

"Wow~ Can't you go find the crystal scroll first?"

"If I help you find the crystal scroll first, will you still leave the magic tower?!"

Although Minerva had been pestering Lin Yinxi, shaking his arm and asking him when he would go to find the crystal scroll, she suddenly became silent when he said this.

Even she herself knew that the moment she found the crystal scroll, she would probably no longer be able to focus on anything other than research.

In fact, this is the case in the game.

"Okay, then, can we set off now?"

"I'm almost ready, let's go now."

Finally, Lin Yinxi put away the brooch with the sun and moon imprints that the popes had given him. The preparations were thus completed.

Anyway, the weapon was broken, and the remaining supplies were all with Minerva, so he could just take them for free. Therefore, he didn't make any extra preparations for the rest.

Next to him, Minerva seemed to be trying hard to maintain her dignity, but every movement in her girlish body revealed her impatience.

After living for 400 years, he has long lost all his decorum.

Hey, where did that mature, elegant, and mysterious aura you had when we first met go?

"Where is the teleportation location?"

"Let me take a look at this location..."

Lin Yinxi unfolded the map. Of course, this map was also obtained for free from Minerva.

Every part of the empire on the map was marked in great detail, except for the Holy Kingdom, which was less marked, with only a few cities, and the northern and southern parts of the continent were only vaguely outlined.

Just like in the game, the terrain here is not drawn by players simply walking around, but by people using magic or inspecting every detail on foot.

Therefore, it is not surprising that there are poisonous swamps in the south of the continent that are no different from the devil's land, and snowy mountains in the north of the continent where everything is frozen, even without a detailed map.

"After that, I have to go to the Toxic Swamp at least once. As for that weird place like the Snow Mountain, I won't go there even if I'm asked to. There aren't any items there anyway."

Lin Yinxi compared the maps made by the players individually with the map in front of him in his mind, searching for the place he was looking for.

Minerva stood aside, swaying and looking anxious.

Do you want the crystal scroll so badly?

"It's right here. I need to go and see the exact location myself."

Lin Yinxi pointed to a location on the edge of the empire. Although the map scale was much larger than in the game, it was probably around here.

"I understand. Get ready."

Minerva immediately began preparing the teleportation magic.

The end of the staff tapped the ground. A magic circle instantly formed, and a blue beam of light shot into the sky.

As a floating feeling that he had long been accustomed to came over him, before Lin Yinxi even reacted, he was teleported to a mountain range with Minerva.

All you can see is grass and trees. The lush old trees here grow very vigorously. Even in the daytime, there is not much light coming in, and the surroundings are dark.

Minerva struck the ground with the end of her staff again, and the surroundings grew brighter.

"Is this the place, child?"

"It should be here. Let me look for it again. I don't know how far away it is from that place."

Marking a location on a map showing the entire continent and then teleporting to a nearby location will result in an error of tens or hundreds of kilometers.

In fact, even this level is something only Minerva can achieve.

If it were an ordinary magician, let alone teleporting here, it would take a long time just to find the coordinates marked by Lin Yinxi.

Minerva's title of "Eternal Mage" was not earned out of thin air. She was respected by almost all magicians on the continent and was a living legend.

Hmm... Although the way she was clamoring to find the crystal scroll just now had caused a slight crack in the image of Minerva in Lin Yinxi's heart...

"But if Minerva hadn't been there, I wonder how much more troublesome it would have been..."

Even if there was a slight risk of attracting attention, proposing a trade with the crystal scroll was absolutely the right choice.

Not to mention how to complete the task, just how to find a house in these lush forests and vast mountains is a huge problem.

"Could you help me survey my surroundings, Minerva?"

"Can we just find a house?"

"Well, even if it's not a house, just find any structure that could be built by humans."

There are trees and mountains all around, and it's probably the same here and there.

Even if there are people living in this dense forest, there are probably not many, so we just need to look for them one by one.

Minerva closed her eyes and channeled her magic into her staff.

A circular wave erupted from the silver staff, like a ripple on a lake, spreading in all directions.

The grass and trees touched by the wave briefly flashed blue light.

It was unknown how long this fluctuating wave lasted before Minerva, who had her eyes closed, slowly opened them.

"I found it."

"Minerva, what does it look like?"

"It's a wooden building, a regular bungalow, with one side made of stone."

"Well, that should be it."

Lin Yinxi nodded, and Minerva activated the teleportation without hesitation. The moment she closed her eyes, the two of them moved to the door of the building.

This is a strangely shaped wooden building, half a house, half a shrine, with one side made of stone.

"Here it is, thank you, Minerva."

"I just did what I had to do, let's go."

Minerva pulled Lin Yinxi's arm and walked towards the strange building.

In front of the building, Lin Yinxi climbed a few steps, stood at the door, and knocked hard.

Bang, bang, bang! A series of dull sounds were heard.

He waited a moment, but nothing happened.

Knock, knock, knock! I knocked on the door again, but still nothing happened.

Knock, knock, knock! I knocked on the door for the third time, but still nothing happened.

Minerva watched Lin Yinxi knocking on the door non-stop, a hint of impatience showing on her face, and then she spoke.

"Is there no one inside?"

"No, I'm sure there will be."

"So you're pretending not to hear. If you want to just barge in, just tell me, kid. I can help you right away."

"It's okay, it will appear sooner or later."

In the game, that NPC will only appear after knocking on the door 5 times in a row. Now knock at least 5 times first.

Similar to the question Minerva raised before, in the game, if the player knocks on the door three times in a row, a prompt will appear saying "There seems to be no one inside". Many novice players are deceived and leave, wasting a lot of time.

Just like that, after Lin Yinxi knocked on the door for the fourth and fifth time, and before Minerva could no longer endure it and was about to raise her staff with a frown, there was finally a sound at the door.

"Ah...you're such a persistent guy! I was trying to ignore it, why can't you just give up?"

The door suddenly opened, and a figure jumped out. It was a woman with long orange hair and orange eyes.

When Lin Yinxi saw the woman in front of him speaking the same lines as in the game, he couldn't help but laugh. He was not surprised at all.

Sure enough, this NPC also turned into a female.

On the contrary, what scares him now is the NPC whose gender remains unchanged.

He really wanted to know, "What kind of important role can keep gender unchanged!?"

"I have a favor to ask of you."

Lin Yinxi said frankly that the personality of the NPC in front of him did not seem to have changed at all because of the mod, so he just had to continue according to the task flow in the game.

"Please? What do you want?"

As Lin Yinxi expected, the orange-haired woman did not show any puzzled expression despite being suddenly asked for help by a stranger she had never met before.

It was as if she had no idea what embarrassment was. That was just her personality.
