"Hey, stop lying. Is this the child-raising husband you've hidden somewhere, planning to raise him up and then secretly eat him—Wait, wait! Can't you even take a joke?!"

010.How to seduce a man?

Seeing Alice's cold eyes and clenched fists, Liz quickly swallowed back her words, saying it was just a joke. Alice smacked her lips and relaxed her fists.

"If I knew, I would have told you a long time ago. I really don't know.

When I went to inspect the prison on that guy's orders, almost all the people there had been killed by monsters, and only the newcomer was still alive.

Moreover, he was cursed by a witch and has nothing but memories. How would I know? "

"There's a monster? Have you defeated it?"

"That wasn't necessary because the new guy solved it."

"Solved? Killed? The new guy? Defeat the monster?"

"Correct."

“…How did you do that?”

Alice briefly recounted what happened in prison.

After scanning the entire prison and confirming that no one was alive, Alice came out and found Lin Yinxi fighting the monster alone near the main gate. In the end, he killed it alone.

It was as if he knew how the monster would attack, even using an extremely crude steel sword to easily deflect each blow.

Alice added that she initially wanted to help, but for some reason she wanted to see how far she could go, so she just watched quietly, and ended up getting attacked and her armor damaged.

Liz listened to Alice's explanation from beginning to end with her mouth tightly shut, then spoke with a slightly stiff expression:

"Newcomer, you said he was an outcast?"

"He said so himself, so it should be true. If you really don't believe it, you can use the ability confirmation beads to confirm it."

"No, it's not that I don't believe it. It's not that I don't believe it... He said he was cursed, and it wasn't an ordinary curse, but a curse from a witch. His physical abilities became the same as those of an ordinary person, and he couldn't use magic or control magic. But how could such a thing be possible?"

Liz recalled that when she tested Lin Yinxi for membership in the group, he accurately saw through all of her attacks and deflected them. This wasn't a fluke, but rather a testament to his exceptional strength.

Although his strength was lacking, his technique was spot on.

No matter how many times he stabbed in succession, no matter how fast the attack speed was, Liz had a strong feeling that he had already noticed it and predicted it in advance.

The more Liz thought about it, the more incredible it seemed.

"..."

When the conversation paused for a moment and both of them were lost in their own thoughts, Alice looked down at the palm that had blocked the newcomer's sword and saw a wound on it.

It was a very light scar, and it was a bit embarrassing to call it a wound, but the presence of such a mark itself was a problem.

Given the difference in strength and skills between the two, such an injury should not have occurred.

All Iris had to do was simply grab the sword and end the fight, but she didn't.

"That... is a newcomer, right?"

It was a confusing statement, but the meaning was clear. Alice nodded in affirmation.

At the last moment, Lin Yinxi reacted instantly to Liz's counterattack and reversed the trajectory of the attack. This is why Alice's palm was slightly cut.

In the short moment of less than a second when the attack came, Liz saw that Lin Yinxi's attack posture had changed and she was ready to parry and counterattack.

Lin Yinxi deflected all of Liz's attacks, and while trying to parry, he reacted to the oncoming Liz's parry counterattacks, distorting the trajectory of his sword.

Seeing the sword's trajectory twist, Alice immediately intervened and changed her stance. It can be said that the three of them had a similar assessment of the battle situation.

Yes, the problem is that these three people have similar judgments on the battle situation.

Two of them are senior knight commanders who have wielded swords for over ten years, and the other is a human cursed by a witch, so they shouldn't be similar.

"Before that, I was just sighing when he blocked my attack, but I was really surprised by the end. You thought the newcomer couldn't react in time, so you intervened, right?"

"...I don't deny it."

If I were in that position, would I have handled it the same way as the newcomer? Alice asked herself a question.

No matter how many times she thought about it, the answer she gave herself was always "no".

Deflect all brutal combos and try to find an opening to launch a parry attack. Predict the enemy's unexpected parry and counterattack before attacking to change the trajectory of the attack.

Most importantly, he had to do all this in his first battle with Liz after being cursed by the witch and having his physical abilities significantly reduced.

Normally, this was an impossible task, but he did it without hesitation.

Even if this story were told as a tavern legend, no one would believe it.

Alice had no idea what kind of person Lin Yinxi was before, and how much talent he still had hidden.

"Alice."

"what happened?"

"You don't have any special relationship with the newcomer, do you?"

"If this special relationship refers to a relationship between a man and a woman, then there isn't one. We just met by chance in prison, why are you asking?"

"Reasons? Of course I have one. If you don't choose first, I'm going to take action against him."

Liz pursed her lips.

She liked this new guy in many ways. Lin Yinxi was quite handsome, had a great figure, and most importantly, he perfectly matched Liz's dating standards.

A man with outstanding strength and talent, like a rough stone, discovered when he was a seedling, carefully nurtured and brought to life, and finally eaten by him. This is Liz's standard for love.

Liz is well aware that her dating standards are embarrassing to express and almost impossible to achieve, so she always keeps them as fantasies in her head.

But now, a man who seemed to have turned his fantasy into reality was striding towards her. So, no matter what happened, she would never miss this opportunity.

Moreover, Lin Yinxi is an adult, which is also a reason. Liz wants a reliable, talented but undeveloped man, not a child.

"Whatever you want, I don't mind."

"Really? You can't regret it later, okay? If I suddenly show up after I succeed, it means I was the first one to know him. You won't do something like that, right?"

"Who do you take me for? I wouldn't do anything like that!"

Just as Liz ran out excitedly after getting Alice's promise, Alice called her again with a slightly stiff tone.

"Wait, uh...I have a personal question for you."

"Huh? What?"

Alice wanted to ask a personal question? This was an extremely rare situation. Liz's legs stopped involuntarily and her ears pricked up.

"You've never even held a man's hand, how do you know how to seduce a man?"

"???"

Liz looked at Alice with a puzzled look. What was this woman who had never even held a man's hand talking about?

011. Strange Castle

"To be honest, I was a little surprised."

"what?"

“Ever since Alice brought you here, I knew you were no ordinary person, but I didn’t know your abilities were so remarkable.

Although my sister has an eccentric personality, she is also one of the leaders of the Knights of the Silver Dawn. Her strength is unquestionable no matter where she is.

"is it?"

"Don't underestimate yourself, newbie."

Erica stared at Lin Yinxi with her red eyes.

"Alice clearly said that Mr. Newcomer was cursed by a witch, so your physical abilities should be lower than those of an ordinary person.

But even in that situation, you fought back and forth with Liz. I think you can be even prouder.”

"I was able to do that because Liz let it go and it wasn't really a duel."

"Did you let it go? Well, I don't think so, and I believe my sister doesn't think so either."

Erica immediately denied his words.

"Also, Mr. Newcomer, it seems you have some misconceptions. My sister may appear to always do as she pleases, but she's not so self-indulgent as to neglect her responsibilities.

No matter how much she lets off steam, this is an attack that ordinary people simply can't withstand, because she knows that this competition is a test for joining the group. Regardless of whether she lets off steam or not, a battle is a battle.

Because it was the truth, Lin Yinxi shut up.

Even if the fight was clean and efficient, with only half a life lost, it would still be no different from a real boss fight.

Many people in the game forum complained about not being able to pass the group joining test and had to choose other game routes.

"I don't like saying the same thing as my sister, but this time I have no choice but to agree with her. So where on earth did Alice find someone like you?"

"Well, I don't know."

"I can take this as meaning you don't want to answer."

Erica's eyes narrowed again as she walked down the hallway, wiggling her hips in her red shark shorts. Perhaps it was the mod's influence, but every step was incredibly erotic.

It even felt like walking wasn't about emphasizing walking, but about emphasizing the buttocks. He thought back to Liz and Alice, and it seemed the mod's influence was real.

"Alice told me last time that this castle was originally used by the lord."

In order to avoid drawing too much attention to her buttocks, he began to change the subject. As soon as Lin Yinxi started talking, Erica stopped in her tracks, and a hint of reluctance flashed in her eyes as she looked over.

"...Well, that's true. This was where he originally lived, and then he left it to us."

"She said that instead of explaining in words why the lord abandoned this place, she wanted me to experience it myself."

"Alice wasn't lying either. Anyway, even if I told you the details, you wouldn't believe it, so it's best to experience it for yourself. We'll be there soon, so if you're curious, just be patient."

When Erica said this, Lin Yinxi became even more curious about the situation in the castle.

With that, Erica walked forward again, swaying her hips.

The interior of the castle was very clean. There seemed to be not a speck of dust in the corridor, nor on the red carpet, let alone a footprint.

In fact, it struck him as even stranger because it was so clean overall.

There was no one in the building that could accommodate hundreds of people, but everywhere was so clean that there was not even a speck of dust.

This is impossible unless there is a cleaning elf who cleans all day long.

"The hallway is so clean, does this have anything to do with what you said?"

"You guessed it, you'll know after you try it."

Erica stopped in front of a door. It was a very ordinary wooden door. On the wall next to it, there were identical wooden doors lined up at intervals.

"You can stay in this one. I chose the first room on purpose so it's easier to tell them apart. Of course, if you don't like it, you can choose another room. They're all empty anyway."

Suddenly, the door opened. When Lin Yinxi saw the scene inside the room, he could hardly believe his eyes.

"....?"

Because this is not a medieval-style room like the one seen in the game, but a room decorated with modern items, it can be called a bachelor apartment.

Inside, there's an iron bed with a soft mattress and a microfiber blanket, and the pillows have matching modern designs.

The walls and ceiling are covered with wallpaper, the windows are made of clear glass and have sliding doors with handles. There is even a balcony at the back, although it is very small.

The ceiling wasn't lit by candles or lampshades, but by incandescent bulbs. Even more ridiculous, there was an air conditioner installed on one side of the ceiling.

In one corner of the room, there is a modern desk with an ergonomic chair. Even the fan next to it looks great.

He didn't know what mod this was.

As he sat speechless in the modern room, Erica turned on the air conditioner, operating the remote control with what seemed like a deft touch more than once or twice.

"You can use this to adjust the air conditioning temperature yourself. This is the bathroom. If you have any questions about how to use it, you can ask me. Is there anything else you need to explain?"

"...No, I don't think so."

The bathroom walls and floors were tiled, and there was even a bathtub built into the modern metal shower enclosure, large enough for two people.

Next to it, Lin Yinxi believed that what he saw were neatly arranged toiletries such as shampoo and shower gel.
