It was impossible to imagine that it was a centipede. It looked like a pile of ordinary stones on the side of the road.
"...was it originally a monster?"
"Yes, she turned them like that after the battle."
"Um......."
Lin Yinxi carefully recalled his memory, but couldn't remember anything.
He had seen a record that said some black magicians liked to experiment on living people, but their purpose was experimentation, not pointlessly destroying corpses.
"Ah, and when I asked her why, she gave a strange answer."
"What a strange answer? What did she say?"
"I asked her what the meaning of this was, and she said it didn't have any meaning 'here.' That's why I just asked you if this behavior had any 'magical meaning.'"
"Here" doesn't mean anything.
This was something he had never heard before.
Analyzed literally, the emphasis on the word "here" means that apart from here, this act of dismemberment is meaningful anywhere else.
Incomprehensible.
Even Lin Yinxi found it difficult to understand Nix's personality, so he didn't know the true meaning of that sentence.
"Well, I'm not sure. Let me go out and ask. If I ask, I should be able to tell me."
"Ah, that's right. As long as the captain asks, she will answer properly."
Perhaps because she remembered that Nix loved to stick to Lin Yinxi, Heliga nodded to show her understanding and stepped back.
To be honest, Lin Yinxi was also a little curious.
It doesn't make any sense here, what does this sentence mean and why is it said so?
Maybe there really is some "magical meaning" to this, and that's a question worth asking.
Not far away, Nix may not have heard, or may have heard, the conversation between Heliga and Lin Yinxi, but she still followed him closely with a gloomy smile on her face.
On the contrary, the knights around her were slightly further away from her than when they came in.
It seems that no matter what, her act of dismembering the body did have some impact after all.
"Ah...! You finally came out!"
When everyone packed up the armor that was piled together and left the secret realm, they saw Cassandra standing not far away with a female knight, waiting anxiously.
Cassandra looked very anxious and uneasy, but as soon as she saw Lin Yinxi coming out, her expression immediately relaxed.
The female knight standing behind Cassandra also showed a bright expression after confirming that they had come out.
A look full of relief was cast in the direction of everyone.
The bunny girl knights behind Lin Yinxi were all surprised that the lord came here in person, but he was not surprised at all.
Because this is something he has experienced countless times in the game.
"Although the situation now is completely different from that time..."
In the game, the only people present are the lord himself, the lord's most trusted knight, and the player, giving people a very private feeling.
But that’s not the case now.
Not only Heliga, but also her ordinary members entered the secret realm, doubling their number.
Even Knicks, who seemed almost like an outsider, was present, with no sense of keeping a secret.
"Well, they're not the type to talk too much anyway."
Unless Cassilia directly asked what happened, they would never make a fuss about having been to the Rune Realm.
There's no way he could work in the palace with such a loose mouth.
Lin Yinxi also didn't think that Casillas would pay too much attention to them.
"I wonder how it's going?"
"Now you can rest assured, it's been resolved."
“…That’s really great.”
As if the tense atmosphere was suddenly relieved, Cassandra's body began to shake.
The female knight standing behind her quickly supported her shoulders.
Cassandra wiped the sweat from her forehead with a handkerchief and said:
"Thank you for your hard work. I'm sorry to have embarrassed you. I must have looked very unhappy just now."
Lin Yinxi frowned slightly.
"I don't know why. Just now I was trembling with fear from an inexplicable feeling, and it was difficult for me to even stand. But strangely, as soon as I saw you come out, I felt calm."
'Um......'
Nyx was nearby, so Cassandra was frightened, but the female knight behind her was fine.
Lin Yinxi looked around with this thought in mind.
At this moment, the beautiful figure of the witch with half purple and half green hair had disappeared without a trace.
Seeing Lin Yinxi looking around, He Lijia, who was walking at the back, crossed her index fingers into an X shape. He immediately understood what she meant.
It seems that Nyx teleported somewhere as soon as she saw Cassandra, because she thought that if she stayed, the conversation might not go smoothly.
What an unexpectedly considerate character.
Perhaps it was because of this momentary misalignment that Cassandra had a strange misunderstanding, making her think that seeing Lin Yinxi made her calm down.
'Well, what does this have to do with me?'
Lin Yinxi waited quietly for Cassandra's next words.
Based on what Cassandra said here, he can judge the impact of the various things he has done so far and which plot line the world is leaning towards.
To be precise, in the game, the content of this conversation is determined by the route chosen by the player, and Cassandra is simply informing them.
As for now, Cassandra has become an important clue to judging the plot line.
Of course, it would be ridiculous to try to find the main storyline now, but there is no harm in judging the general direction of the plot line and making preparations in advance.
"that........"
Cassandra pursed her lips.
179. Questions to the Witch
"I heard that it was His Majesty the Emperor who personally appointed you as the leader of the Dark Night Knights."
"Yes."
"It seems that His Majesty made such a decision not without reason."
'really. ’
Up to now, the route he had taken was in line with the route of the Knights of the Silver Dawn, but interestingly, what came out of Cassandra's mouth told him that the plot line he was in now was far from the plot line of the Knights.
Of course, there is nothing surprising about this, as it was something that had been expected for a long time and there is no need to be surprised.
In the game, Cassandra's words are different in each story line. For example, in the Knights of the Silver Dawn line, she will hint at whether the player has any thoughts on coming to work in her territory.
If the player accepts, the subsequent plot will be slightly changed. If rejected, the story of the Knights of the Silver Dawn will continue as before.
Cassandra's answer just now is similar to the lines said by the player when taking the Emperor-related route.
She would say something like, "His Majesty the Emperor has a very good eye. He noticed you at once."
But it’s true that Casillas has indeed shown great interest in Lin Yinxi now.
"It seems the world is indeed leaning towards the Imperial Palace plot line..."
He thought about it for a moment, then changed his mind.
There's no need to dwell too deeply on the subsequent storyline, as it won't be of much help anyway.
It’s enough as long as I can recall it when I encounter a similar plot in the future.
"Thank you for accepting my sudden request and resolving it in this way. I sincerely thank you, Captain of the Dark Knights. Thanks to you, I can finally breathe a sigh of relief."
Cassandra lowered her head and leaned her upper body forward slightly, her cleavage exposed as her dress pulled down.
She seemed to be intentionally or unintentionally showing off her cleavage under the dress.
It is impossible for a noble of this level not to have learned the etiquette of receiving guests, so this was most likely an intentional action on her part.
Lin Yinxi accepted the thanks calmly.
Seeing that Lin Yinxi's expression did not change at all, Cassandra showed a hint of loss, but then she showed a bright smile.
Seeing the changes in Cassandra just now, Lin Yinxi was convinced again.
If he had reacted just now, he would definitely have faced an attack even more violent than before.
Since he didn't react much, Cassandra simply gave up.
"Lord Cassandra, there is one more thing I want to discuss with you. Is that alright?"
"Of course. Just tell me, what is it?"
"You said I have ownership of all the spoils from the secret realm, including the runes. Unfortunately, there are no other spoils besides the runes."
"Okay, I understand. I will personally repay you for your hard work. I sincerely invite you all to visit my mansion."
Lin Yinxi expressed his thoughts very frankly. He got nothing but runes in the secret realm, so he hoped that she would make compensation.
Perhaps because of what she had said before, Cassandra nodded obediently, turned around and took the lead.
As Cassandra walked away, Lin Yinxi quietly called Heliga over and whispered to her.
"The rest is up to you, Helija. Take them back to the lord's mansion first. I have other things to do. If anyone asks me why I didn't come, just answer like this."
"I see. But do you have anything to do? Is it related to that witch?"
"Well, I can't leave her here alone and go in by myself. I'll give you the command for now. You can make your own decisions."
"Yes, Captain. Take care."
Helga gathered her men and followed Cassandra.
When Cassandra saw the deputy commander of the Knights standing where Lin Yinxi should be, she stopped for a moment, but when Heliga whispered something to her again, she took another step.
After confirming that Cassandra and her direct knights, Helija and ordinary members had all left, Lin Yinxi walked deeper into the forest.
After making sure that the people ahead wouldn't hear him, he shouted loudly:
"Nix!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Knicks appeared in front of him.
The reaction was so fast that it could be said that Knicks was waiting for Lin Yinxi to call her.
Knicks, who was teleported in front of Lin Yinxi, smiled grimly.
"Hehe, are you calling me~?"
"Of course, you're hiding because of the lord, right?"
Nix nodded, and as her head shook up and down, her breasts bounced violently.
Lin Yinxi gently touched her head.
It seems that I have become completely accustomed to even the act of patting my head.
"Why don't you come with me? I can wait here alone until you finish your work."
After saying this, she murmured to herself and added: "I have waited alone many times..."
"Actually, I don't really care about that, and I have something else I want to ask you for help with."
Although he didn't care much about the lord's reward, he couldn't help her for free. After all, Heliga and her subordinates also went to the secret realm to carry out the commission.
And this request was also made to prevent Cassandra from having any wild thoughts.
