But the lord seemed to have no intention of believing Lin Yinxi's words at all.

She bit her lips with a pale face and grasped the hem of her dress tightly with trembling hands.

"Well, if that's not the case, can I offer you my body?"

"...?"

What nonsense are you talking about all of a sudden?!

175. Unexpected Boss

"Ha, haha. That's so rude. Sorry, Captain of the Dark Knights."

The lord who called herself "Cassandra Plattroid" was sitting on the sofa, looking very ashamed of what had just happened, with the tips of her ears dyed bright red.

Helga looked at Cassandra with eyes full of speechlessness, and Lin Yinxi probably had a similar expression.

Putting aside the facts, although Lin Yinxi did not explain himself clearly and his words were ambiguous, causing misunderstanding, was there nothing wrong with Kadesanla blatantly asking whether she needed to offer her body?

"So, the condition mentioned in your letter——"

As soon as he mentioned the word "faith", Cassandra's body began to tremble.

There was pity and helplessness in her eyes as she looked at Lin Yinxi. Perhaps he didn't know how to respond to this pitiful look, so he coughed twice again.

“…Is this all true?”

"Yes, sir. Yes, that's right. All the spoils obtained from the secret realm will be yours, including the runes. In addition, you will be given additional monetary rewards. However, I hope you will keep the Rune Secret Realm confidential and not disclose it to anyone."

"I know. That's all."

Lin Yinxi agreed without hesitation. On the other side, Cassandra's eyes widened.

"Well, are you so easy to agree to?"

"There's no particular reason to refuse, right?"

"Excuse me, but you are aware that this is an act of deceiving His Majesty the Emperor, right?"

"Of course I do. My answer is the conclusion I reached after fully considering these factors."

The runes that can be obtained here have very good performance. Although they cannot be used until the end of the game, at present, he has almost no runes, and nothing can replace them.

And he also believed that Casillas would not kill him just because he got some runes.

So the rewards are clear compared to the risks, so there is no reason to say no.

"I see. So, if that's the case, do you need any additional compensation? If so, I'll do my best."

"......"

Cassandra added eagerly.

When he heard her words, Lin Yinxi's eyes narrowed slightly.

"I'm not talking about my body! I'm asking if you need any other material compensation!"

"I know. Because I was wondering if I should make some requests."

After hearing Lin Yinxi's answer, Cassandra was stunned for a moment, then her face turned red again and she grabbed the hem of her dress tightly.

I really don't know what was going on in her mind that made her have such thoughts. She always half-believed and half-doubted that Lin Yinxi would covet her body.

And looking at her expression, it seemed that she would accept it even if Lin Yinxi really asked for her body.

Of course, he had no such thoughts at all.

"Captain."

Leaving Cassandra, who was at a loss for words due to shame, Heliga gently pulled Lin Yinxi's ear with two slender fingers and began to whisper in his ear.

"what happened?"

"Is it really possible not to report this matter to His Majesty the Emperor?"

"It doesn't matter. Even if we're discovered, will anything worse than death happen?"

"......"

Perhaps because she thought this was an irresponsible answer, Heliga's expression became a little shaken.

For Lin Yinxi, the reason he did this was because he was sure that Casillas would not kill them, but Heliga did not know the inside story.

At best, they thought that he was too favored, so the emperor tore the Golden Dusk Knights apart and gave them to him. Of course, they would think this was an irresponsible answer.

Even so, Lin Yinxi couldn't explain to her why.

Why did Casillas show so much interest and concern for him.

To make this clear would inevitably reveal what he has been hiding.

"Besides, I've already done the same thing. If you've done it once, can't you do it a second time?"

Lin Yinxi showed Helijia the rune tattoo on the back of his left hand.

And when Helija saw the rune tattoo, her eyes widened slightly.

If even the Knights of the Silver Dawn, who had been driven to the edge of the empire for many years and remained loyal to His Majesty the Emperor, chose to hand over the runes to Lin Yinxi, then the rules would be meaningless.

After all, runes are now the property of the country, and the rule that they must be reported immediately after discovery is not followed even by the Knights of the Silver Dawn, who are known for their loyalty. What else can she say?

Furthermore, this rule might make sense in the Holy Kingdom, but in the Empire, it is practically meaningless.

In the game, almost no player will be punished for stealing runes at will, and every player is lawless.

Considering this, it would be abnormal if Lin Yinxi behaved like Cassandra, trembling and worried.

“It’s a bit surprising.”

"Do you have any idea?"

"I thought that when His Majesty the Emperor gave us to the captain, he also gave you the runes."

It is not entirely wrong to say that His Majesty the Emperor would grant runes.

In the game, if the player persists in completing all the tasks assigned by the emperor, the emperor will grant the player a rune as proof of loyalty.

But that's a rune with zero utility, with no use other than completing achievements.

"Well, if you say so..."

After hearing Lin Yinxi's answer, Helijia's lips gradually moved away.

On the other side, Cassandra seemed a little shy and was fanning her hands constantly, her cheeks still red.

"Would you like to rest in the mansion for a while to relieve your travel fatigue before setting off again? Or would you like to return and rest after you have finished cleaning?"

"I'm going to leave now."

The kid Nix is ​​still in the forest, so they can't just rest here with just the two of them.

......

"Hey hey hey, you're here~?"

As soon as the two entered the woods, the casual-talking Nix greeted them with a strange laugh, as if welcoming them.

It seems that he has a new personality.

Well, although I don’t know how long each of Nyx’s personalities lasts and switches, it has remained the same since he changed to the timid personality in the castle. Now I think it’s about time to change.

"Looks like you didn't have a fight.... Very good, very good."

Lin Yinxi subconsciously touched Knicks' head, then stopped. Only then did he realize that he seemed to have mistaken her for the weak Knicks.

However, Nix, in turn, grabbed his wrist and stroked it above his head, as if wondering why he had stopped.

Helija stared at Nix, who was holding Lin Yinxi's wrist and rubbing it on her head and face, and suddenly said something.

"Isn't Captain Knight Liz and the Lord enough?"

"Herlija, do you really dare to say anything?"

Unlike her lazy behavior and appearance, Helijia seems to be the kind of person who speaks out loud. Lin Yinxi has felt this since before. She speaks with almost no filter.

Lin Yinxi gently stroked Knicks' head again, then let go of his hand. Knicks smiled grimly and sat down behind Lin Yinxi.

After a brief reunion, he stood in front of the entrance to the Rune Secret Realm and drew out the Wingless Nightmare. Then, the sounds of weapons being drawn came one after another.

"Remember what I said?"

"Yes, Captain, you will defeat the guy guarding the rune, so you want us to stop the other troublemakers approaching from outside."

Helija spoke softly, holding two silver swords. Although her tone sounded lazy, the core of her words was very clear.

"Okay, let's go!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Yinxi took a step towards the Rune Secret Realm. Nyx was the second to enter, the ordinary members were in the middle, and Heliga was the last one, at the end of the line.

The interior of the secret place before us gives the overall feeling of being cut out of rough rock.

Lin Yinxi moved calmly. The knights behind him saw him walking straight ahead without even a hint of caution, and some doubts appeared on their faces, but they still hurried to follow him.

There are no enemies here anyway, so there is no need to be alert.

Not long after walking, the road became wider and a large cave appeared in front of us. Looking around, there were circular caves and stalactites hanging from the ceiling everywhere.

The exit of the narrow road is the spacious cave in front of you.

This is a place he has been to before.

The map of Dark Light 4 is very large, but unlike the first to third parts which are mainly based on linear progression, it is a game that can be called an open world, so the types of bosses naturally increase.

Not only is there a boss in each area, but bosses will also appear in the main storyline, each dungeon will also include a boss, and the number of mid-level bosses will also increase significantly.

Therefore, it is inevitable that some parts of the copy structure will be modified and reused, or the boss's appearance will be replaced by color.

The secret realm in front of us is also similar to other secret realms in structure and boss.

And it’s that heinous and infamous boss - the Rock Centipede.

But fortunately, the boss here is not as disgusting as it seems.

Therefore, although the copy structure and boss appearance are almost exactly copied, it receives less criticism.

And the battle mode is also different from the previous boss.

After all, if even the battle mode was copied verbatim, it wouldn't just end up being criticized.

“These are…”

Someone muttered.

Before my eyes, I could see all kinds of tattered, shrunken, and blood-stained armor scattered everywhere.

It is not difficult to imagine what kind of fate the owners of those armors met.

"What are you going to do? Reclaim the armor?"

Heliga's question brought Lin Yinxi back to his senses.

In the game, these are just armor pieces that exist in background animations and cannot be picked up, but they can be picked up here.

"Not now. Let's collect them when we get out. Let's gather them all in one place first."

"Yes."

The knights set to work, piling the armor in a corner.

Although the sacrifice of 10 people is only a very small number for the world, in fact, it is a miracle that such traces can be preserved.

Centipedes can easily chew through armor and still leave traces. This is wrong.

This is also his death scene that he is tired of seeing in Dark Light 4.

"Everyone, prepare to fight!"

As soon as Lin Yinxi walked to the middle of the cave, he began to give orders.

The knights gripped their weapons nervously, while Lin Yinxi continued to move forward, and then immediately a rustling sound came from all directions.

"Remember what I said? I'll go down first. You guys take care of these guys and stay here."
