Liz, Erica, and Claudia beside him had similar expressions. Their faces were pale, their hands were shaking, and they looked at him as if they had just heard something unbelievable.

"Your Majesty. That's the person I just told you to follow the plan."

040.Repay Everything

The faces of the Knights Generals suddenly turned pale, and they looked at Lin Yinxi with eyes full of astonishment.

This reaction was completely within his expectations. After all, as long as they didn't immediately draw their swords when they realized that the person they were trying to deceive was the emperor, that was enough.

"Newcomer, you...really..."

"Ah, don't misunderstand me, Alice. It's not like I have second thoughts about His Majesty the Emperor. I just want to get rid of that guy without any consequences. This is the only way."

Alice was speechless, wondering if she hadn't fully recovered from the shock. But her eyes gave off a sense of silence, perhaps wanting to hear the reason first, so he continued.

"As you know, that guy is of royal origin. Of course, the throne is something he would never dare to touch, but even if he is far away from the throne, as long as he has royal blood, he can enjoy the power of the nobility.

If you want to get rid of this kind of person without causing any trouble, using ordinary methods won't work, right? So you have to use an extraordinary method."

"..."

They are well aware that even if a lord with royal blood commits a crime, his end will definitely not be a miserable one.

Because even though he was expelled from the palace, he still managed to bring the Knights to this remote territory while struggling.

They had anticipated that in order to successfully deal with such a person, extreme measures would be necessary, but the method Lin Yinxi used was far more extreme than they had anticipated.

Let him become interested in the devil, then deprive him of all his rights, and finally hand him over to the emperor for execution. Who would dare to come up with such a method?

"I didn't tell any particularly dangerous lies. The only lie in Aurora's explanation was the part where she said, 'I went to the lord to discuss what to do with the demon book I stumbled upon.'"

"The severity of the lie isn't important. The fact that you lied to His Majesty the Emperor is what's important. And what if the truth is revealed? What if your original purpose is discovered, and it's discovered that you brought in the demon just to harm the imperial family? What will you do?"

"No, it won't be a problem even if we're discovered."

Aurora, who was observing the situation nearby, suddenly interrupted. Alice looked at her with a look that said, "Is everything okay?"

"The current Emperor, my aunt, doesn't like that fat pig either. But because the more he does what he wants, the more secure her position becomes, so she deliberately lets him do nothing.

Now that we've dealt with someone like him without any consequences, the faction of nobles close to my aunt now has the authority to use this incident as an excuse to exert pressure, so there's a good chance that this will come to nothing."

'Is there any other behind-the-scenes story like this in the game?'

When advancing the plot of the game before crossing over, he didn't want to make things too complicated. It was enough to roughly understand that the lord was an incompetent idiot. There was no benefit in digging deeper, so he just kept it simple in this way.

I didn't expect the emperor would hate him so much.

Of course, the lords here are even more perverted than in the game, so it is still unknown whether there will be such a behind-the-scenes story in the game Dark Light 4. It is quite common sense there.

"So, Knight Commanders, don't worry. We have dealt with the Empire's termites, cleaned up the garbage it left behind, restored those who had gone astray to their original state, and put everything back on track. We just used some negative means in the process."

With someone who could call the emperor "Aunt" as a guarantor, they didn't have to worry, and the Knights Generals' expressions recovered a little.

Lin Yinxi already knew how the story would develop, so he remained calm.

"But, as expected... lying to the Emperor..."

"There's no need for the Knight Commanders to speak personally. That's the job of me, the lord, and that guy sitting there. You all simply rushed over to help prevent the demon's resurrection after receiving an urgent request for support."

"...You mean...to stop the demon from resurrecting?"

"Yes. Unfortunately, due to the demon's immortality, we have no way to completely kill it."

Aurora glanced at Lin Yinxi at the same time. He responded to her with a dignified attitude. Although it was only a moment, a hint of helplessness flashed in his eyes.

"Don't overthink things. This will be good for you."

Lin Yinxi jumped up from the sofa. Now it was time to take them to see it.

"Come with me, it's time for him to pay you back with interest for everything he's done to you so far!"

He and Aurora led the Knights and their companions to the basement where the lord lay dying. The moment they saw the half-human, half-demon lord, they instinctively drew their weapons.

"...It's really ugly."

Liz murmured.

"Just watching it wriggle across the floor makes me feel sick with evil. If even a dying half-human, half-demon can have such an effect on those around it, I can't imagine how powerful a true demon can be."

The phrase "near death" was not wrong. Earlier, Lin Yinxi had deliberately used a dagger with a blessing affix to slash the lord's health bar to the point of near-death.

Of course, there are other reasons for doing this.

Although its power has not been restored, it is still a demon in essence. If the half-human, half-demon lord is left alone, it will gradually pollute the surrounding environment.

To prevent this from happening, it is necessary to beat it continuously before the emperor arrives here to purify it, so that it cannot gather excess power to pollute the environment, but chooses to recover its body.

"This kind of thing is best left to the Knight Commanders. I've been bullied and tortured by that guy until now. This is revenge."

However, since he didn't know when the Knights General would arrive here, and how long it would take to explain the events to them, he took this measure in the meantime.

Just use the Blessed Dagger to reduce its health to the bottom in advance to prevent that guy from polluting the environment.

"...So, you want us to stop him from regaining his powers, right?"

041.Revenge

Claudia lifted the broadsword, which was twice her size, onto her shoulder, a faint smile appearing on her face. She probably guessed what Lin Yinxi wanted them to do.

"Didn't I tell you? It's time for him to pay you back, with interest, for everything he's done to you so far.

Now all you have to do is beat him up as much as you can. Of course, you'd better control your strength to prevent the basement from collapsing."

In fact, it was not necessary to let the Knights abuse it. Because the blessed dagger had been used to reduce its health, even if it was left alone, it would not pollute the surrounding environment.

However, the Knights Generals had been tortured and bullied by this lord for the past few years. Of course, they needed to get back what they had paid with interest.

Even if I want to kill him, I have to take revenge first.

"Really? Then I'll be welcome."

Claudia said this, then gripped the hilt of her greatsword like a golf club, eagerly swinging the side blade at the lord with all her might.

Bang! With a crisp sound, the scaly body flew up.

The lord flew back for a long time, pressing deep into the opposite wall. It was such a powerful blow that the basement walls shook like rubble.

Alice and Erica seemed startled by her sudden behavior. On the contrary, Liz thought for a moment, pulled out a dagger from her waist, wrapped frost on the blade, and smiled brightly.

"If I don't beat this fat pig, the devil might come back to life, right? Don't worry, I won't let that happen."

Thanks~ Newcomer!

After briefly thanking Lin Yinxi, Liz rushed towards the lord, leaving behind a faint trace of frost. Claudia watched her from behind with a look of relief.

"Don't think too much, Alice. After he died, there will never be another opportunity like this again. Now don't think about anything, just enjoy it to the fullest."

"...Claudia, are you serious?"

"Of course I'm serious, and I think you're thinking the same thing as me. After all, if you really object, shouldn't you take your hands off the weapon first?"

Claudia pointed at Alice's hands, which were already fiddling with the sword strapped to her waist.

As long as there was a chance, as long as anyone could convince her, she would draw her sword at any time. Perhaps because her true thoughts were exposed, Alice's cheeks instantly turned red.

"As the First Knight of the Knights, if I had known from the beginning that he had such a plan, I would definitely have opposed it. But now that the newcomer has done it, things have reached a point of no return. What else can be done?

I can only trust him. He has proven that he keeps his promise. So, Alice, come too, let's go over there together and take revenge together!

A cold air blew in from the other side of the basement. Although the details could not be seen clearly due to the frost, Liz seemed to be having a lot of fun.

The temperature dropped rapidly, and Aurora shivered. Then she quietly approached Lin Yinxi and put her arms around his. He turned to look at her, thinking she was worried, with a somewhat inquiring look.

"Erica, let's go."

"Um, what? Me?"

"Who else is here besides you? You and Liz look so much alike, it's obvious what you're thinking right now, so stop pretending to be distressed and just follow me."

When Erica heard Claudia say she looked like her sister, she briefly complained, but perhaps not completely opposed, so she followed Claudia obediently. The weapon in her hand also ignited flames bit by bit.

Now only Alice was left, looking blankly at the other three people who started beating the lord in the distance, then she sighed and looked at Lin Yinxi.

"Newcomer."

"I am listening."

"As Claudia said. If you had told us in advance and attempted to gain our permission, I would have opposed it to the death. I would have even complained to the Emperor. This is something that should never be allowed to happen."

but.

At first, she seemed to be accusing him, but then, with that turning point, Alice's demeanor shifted. The corners of her mouth rose against gravity, her eyes curved slightly, unable to conceal a smile, and a hint of tenderness crept into her expression.

"I'm willing to believe you this time. You must have your own ideas this time. When you went to defeat that monster before, I refused to believe you until the moment you came back. Then I believed...

...But this time is different. Based on what you've shown so far, even if your plan is ridiculous, I'm willing to trust you this time. I'll leave this matter entirely to you. Don't betray my trust in you."

After saying this, Alice drew her weapon and walked towards the other knight leaders. Halfway there, she paused and turned halfway.

"Also, thank you for giving me this opportunity."

"You're welcome."

On the other side of the basement, a storm, almost like a violent storm, seemed to have begun. The light and shadow in the basement flickered, and he and Aurora watched for a while before coming out like that.

The moon hanging in the sky is gradually sinking to the other side of the mountain.

"I heard that you have only recently joined the Knights of the Silver Dawn?"

"I don't know the exact date, but it's probably around two weeks."

"Even so, you still managed to gain their trust so strongly? Your methods are really powerful."

Lin Yinxi used a smile instead of answering.

He simply made the events play out as they would in the game. From someone else's perspective, this might be an incredibly absurd achievement, but by his standards, it was just a normal strategy.

Moreover, the scale of enemies that will appear in the future will continue to expand.

If the story of Dark Light 4 continues, he will also have to defeat the monster that can destroy the city with one blow alone.

In the first round, the game's recommended ending level is around level 100, so it is necessary to kill countless monsters to level up.

As for killing dozens of city-destroying monsters and countless ordinary monsters, even the most powerful emperor in the empire might not be able to do it.

But this is all just the player's achievement.

"Isn't that what the protagonist of the game is like?"

Am I not the protagonist?

Lin Yinxi and Aurora sat in a corner of the courtyard, chatting about trivial matters, waiting for the emperor to arrive sooner or later. Aurora was very talkative.

Time passed, and by the time the sun rose, the Knights General had yet to show up. He now fully understood the depth of the negative emotions accumulated towards the lord. He could probably continue to abuse him all day.

"Also, the servants from now on must be completely replaced."

At this time, they were discussing how to replace the servants when a magic circle appeared in the yard next to them. The magic circle oppressed and burned the grass and shot a blue beam of light into the sky.

Teleportation magic.

Because it was exactly the same as what he saw in the game, he noticed it immediately. The two of them retreated far back and prepared to greet the emperor.

Within the beam of light emitted by the magic circle, blue particles condensed and formed a human figure. First, arms emerged, then legs, head, and torso, and finally, clothes were put on the body.

A ball of light transformed into a perfect human form, slowly walking out of the blue light column.

"...?"

It was a woman who looked exactly like Aurora.

042.Casillas

"...No, they're not exactly alike. It's just that at first glance, one might mistake them for sisters or mother and daughter."

At first, Lin Yinxi thought that the Emperor looked exactly like Aurora, but there were indeed some differences.

The woman who walked out of the beam of light had sharper eyes, longer hair, a colder expression, was taller, and had a better figure.
