The villain's goal is to save the heroine

『Name: Mona Sophis』

Personal information: Personal guard of Princess Elena of the Kingdom of Kafa, Captain of the Royal Knights, 24 years old, 167cm tall, cup size. Straightforward, impulsive, and narrow-minded. Loves the princess and her family, and obeys her every command. A lesbian. My dream is to be by her side forever.

『Personal Abilities: Greatsword Mastery, Disqualification Ritual』

"Personal evaluation: It seems... a supporting role?"

Lin En was a little surprised when he looked at the panel. He felt that the word "seems" was used very well, which fully demonstrated the lower limit of panel reading. If the role and importance were not even comparable to this woman, then he probably would not be qualified to read the panel.

However, her presence here wasn't surprising. After all, this was the Kingdom of Kafa's famous Sword Trial Festival, and since the eldest princess couldn't attend, she was the official representative.

only…

Wrong occasion!

"Lynn" should have met her later, so how could they meet here?

and…

To be honest, Lynn's affection for Mona was very limited.

To put it simply, this is a pure lesbian who is not very smart and only has the princess in her mind. She is more likely to cause trouble than to accomplish anything. Moreover, her appearance and figure are just so-so, which makes people feel discouraged.

but…

This person has some special meaning to "Lynn".

Because Mona is a person who loves everyone in her family, and the eldest princess hates Noel who controls the kingdom's finances, so Mona naturally hates Noel to a certain extent.

In the second volume of the game, Mona always spoke ill of "Lin" and had a bad attitude. As a result, in the fourth volume, when "Lin" violently attacked the princess, Mona was left there and could do nothing. She even had to be shot from time to time. The scene was quite beautiful.

At this moment, when Lynn noticed Mona, the other party also looked over. Seeing that the person coming was Lynn Noel, he showed a look of disgust, spat lightly, and turned his head away.

Apparently, nothing has changed about Mona's animosity towards Lynn.

"Teacher Lin En, you came at the right time. We just happened to be talking about you."

The speaker was the dean of the Holy City Academy, Mandel Zacharias, the father of the little loli Eunice, and one of only three people above level 80 in the entire Kafa Kingdom among the millions of people!

But unlike Seaberg, this was a rather amiable old man. He was dressed casually, wearing nothing but an ordinary gray robe, a bit like an unassuming sweeping monk.

『Name: Mandel Zacharias』

"Personal Information: Dean of Kafa Holy City Academy, a world-renowned Grand Mage. 49 years old. On the surface, he appears to be a highly respected scholar in the magical world, but he seems to have some hidden secrets behind the scenes..."

『Personal abilities: ???, ???, ???, ???』

"Personal evaluation: How can there be so many good people in this world?"

This review…

Is this guy also a villain?

Lin En was a little surprised, but he didn't have time to think about it. Facing Mandel's greeting, he could only chuckle and respond, "Long time no see, Dean Mandel. I didn't expect you to return to the academy so soon... Is there anything you want to talk to me about?"

Lin En was indeed somewhat puzzled by this. If he remembered correctly, Lin En's appearances in the second volume were significantly reduced compared to the first. And now, the highest leader of the Kafa Church stood here, along with representatives of the Kafa royal family. They were definitely discussing something important. It didn't seem like a place where martial arts actor Lin En could interfere.

He felt like he should be under the car, not inside it.

Of course, he wasn't the only one who looked out of place. Justu, standing next to the dean, smiled and said, "Teacher Lin, it's like this. I think you're aware of the recent influx of outsiders into Siena. According to our statistics, this year's event is unprecedented. As of now, over 30,000 people have already entered Siena, and the number is still rising. I estimate that by the day of the Sword Trial Audition, there will probably be over 100,000 people!"

One hundred thousand people…

It sounds incredible, but to be honest, Lynn has no idea about this number.

"and then?"

Justu couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Food, clothing, housing and transportation can be arranged properly, but management is a huge problem..."

Chapter 77 Witch Cult

As Justu told the story, Lynn gradually understood the current situation.

He gradually understood why Justo was standing here, and how he was suddenly called here...

Simply put, in the sword-and-sorcery world of "Fallen Girl," politics, economics, management, and other governing disciplines are practically useless! Like Cecilia, most so-called knights and magicians only focus on becoming stronger, with no idea of ​​how to manage and develop their own business.

Therefore, cultural people like Justu became the core responsible for the operation of society.

As a large-scale event initiated by Holy City College, the planning, promotion, and coordination of the Sword Trial Festival naturally fell to the highly respected Justu. Although this wasn't his first time handling such an event, surprisingly, this year's crowd was... exceptionally large!

As Lin En had anticipated, the influx of outsiders had severely challenged Siena's public security. As more and more high-ranking individuals entered Siena, many cases gradually became unsolved and unsolved. Unfortunately, the corrupt and degenerate guards had surprisingly low investigative and operational capabilities, which led Mona to this location.

Yes, just like in the game, the leader of the Royal Knights has taken over the security work in Siena. She actually came to seek help from the Holy City College, which is equivalent to serving as an NPC who issues tasks.

only…

"Strange, I clearly gave you a list of criminals, why is it useless? And..."

Lin En had a bad feeling in his heart:

"Theoretically, Augustus and Fitch have already entered Siena, but Anderson has never reported to me once..."

He shook his head, unable to figure out what went wrong, so he looked at Justu and asked:

"So, why me?"

Lin En was also a little confused by this question.

Although the game did not show this meeting, judging from the game plot, the person standing here should be Mu Lin.

The lineup at the beginning of the second volume should be, as expected, the "big" sister Mulin, the eldest princess's personal guard Mona, the male protagonist Claire and the female protagonist Cecilia, but now... where is Mulin?

"Because I think you're the most suitable candidate." Justu smiled kindly. "Teacher Lin En, whether he's denying or affirming Claire, always has appropriate and convincing reasons. I believe you're more objective and fair than Teacher Mu Lin, and you won't be biased. I also recommended Claire for this commission. However, while I'm optimistic about him, I can't deny that Claire is still young and inexperienced. At this critical moment, objective and fair advice like Teacher Lin En's is needed to better guide Claire's growth."

Hearing Justu say this, Lin En's face froze, and he finally understood what the butterfly effect was.

Well, it seems that this is a foreshadowing of the mutual praise between Ci Qing and Justu!

"Tsk! Teacher Justu, is this person really okay? I heard that Lynn Noel has a very bad reputation!" Mona on the side suddenly spoke up.

Her rejection of Lynn was like the eldest princess's disgust for Noel. If she could push him into the toilet, she would do it without hesitation.

"Don't worry, Captain Mona. Justu has always been an accurate judge of people." Unexpectedly, it was Dean Mandel who spoke up in support. "Besides, Instructor Lin En is only in an advisory capacity. The focus is still on supporting Claire and Cecilia. I've read their profiles, and they'll definitely be helpful to Captain Mona."

Seeing that it was Mandel who spoke, Mona immediately put away her contempt and said solemnly, "Yes! Since the dean has said so, I believe there will be no problem with this matter."

It turns out that the words of the strong carry weight.

Since his own dean had said so, Lin En had no choice but to respond helplessly: "I don't have any problem either."

But if you think about it carefully, Mulin is just a marginal character whose appearance is hard to read on the panel, so replacing her already small plot seems harmless, right?

"Well, then the second most important thing is..."

Lin En was stunned again when he heard this.

And the second thing?

And it’s... crucial?

He didn't know what was going on, so he could only stay still. Then he saw Dean Mandel's eyes fall on Seaberg and Latia, then he put away the smile on his face and said solemnly:

"Bishop Seaberg, please explain what happened this time."

Everyone looked at the two of them involuntarily upon hearing this. They saw Seaberg immediately stand up from his seat, nodding to everyone, and then said seriously:

"I'm deeply sorry to bother you during your busy time, but I hope everyone will pay attention to what's coming next. This may affect the safety of the entire city of Siena!"

When Seaberg said this, Justu and Mona both showed slightly shocked expressions.

If someone else said this, no one would care, but after all, Seaberg is the archbishop of the church, so it is obviously impossible for him to speak without a purpose.

"It concerns the safety of the entire city? Is Bishop Seaberg exaggerating?" Mona certainly didn't believe it.

Siena's comprehensive strength ranks among the top three in the entire Kingdom of Caffa. Moreover, Siena did not fall when the kingdom was at its most critical moment. What force could put such a city in danger?

"It's the Witch Cult," Seaberg admitted. "The Church has always closely monitored information regarding the Witch Cult. Even though they've been silent for nearly two hundred years, we've never dared to slack off... This is also one of the purposes of our Church's existence."

Mona frowned upon hearing this. "The Witch Cult? I've heard of it, but weren't they destroyed long ago?"

"No, that was just a declaration to the people." Seaberg shook his head. "The power of the witch never disappears. It simply transfers from one person to another, or transforms from one form to another. The members of the Witch Cult have always sought this power. They long to bring strife and destruction to the world, and then awaken the immortal Witch of Destruction to destroy humanity, destroy all civilizations, and finally destroy the entire world! This is a real thing. The disaster recorded in the book two hundred years ago is not just a legend."

"This really sounds hard to believe." Justu was also stunned.

The most recent and most profound event experienced by people of their generation was the war among nations over a hundred years ago. That period of history seemed to be even more deeply engraved in the human mind, having long overshadowed the earlier Witch Rebellion.

"Yes, and this is also the most worrying aspect." Seaberg sighed and said worriedly, "Because the word 'witch' has long faded from people's minds, people can no longer imagine the horror of the Witch Cult. Not only has the Church always passed down the threat of the Witch Cult, but even the royal family is skeptical about this matter. Fortunately, Dean Mandel took this matter very seriously, so I had the opportunity to put the matter on the table. Otherwise, I'm afraid we would have no choice but to let the situation develop today..."

Chapter 78 Various Tricks

Is Seaberg exaggerating?

No.

Did Mulin and Mona believe it in the game?

not at all.

From the perspective of the male protagonist Claire, Mulin and Mona never mentioned anything about the Witch Cult.

By the time the player knew about this, it was already the Saint's turn, but by then it was already a done deal and no problem could be prevented.

But the fact is, the bosses had already given a warning at the beginning of the second volume!

But then again, would the protagonist's knowledge of the Witch Cult in advance affect the ending of the story?

It seems to be quite difficult. After all, Claire's level is still too low. It is probably just the difference between more or fewer people dying. It is unrealistic to want to change the original process.

It is already very difficult to change the wheel of history even a little bit, so how can we avoid such a huge obstacle?

As for the Witch Cult...

Yes, if nothing unexpected happens, this should be the biggest villain in the world of "Fallen Girl"!

Of course, it’s just “should”.

Lin En has only played up to the fifth volume, and it is still unclear whether the Witch Cult will become the final boss.

However, the biggest crisis in Volume 2 does come from the Witch Cult. Even Volume 3 is closely related to the Witch Cult, and the rebellion in Volume 4 also relies on the power of the Witch Cult. So much so that the woman standing in the ruins who looks like Mavis is probably also a member of the Witch Cult!

In short, the Witch Cult is an important and inseparable part of the plot of "Fallen Girl".

Lin En's impression of them was probably that they were a group of crazy terrorists who would not listen to reason. They were ruthless and wanted to push the world into the abyss of destruction without any bottom line. No one knew what was wrong with them.

"So, what do I need to do?" Lynn asked after clearing his mind.

Knowing the script, he was not panicked at all, but it was undeniable that his attention was often diverted by the exciting "plot" when playing games. He now had to pay more attention to details.

"Well, for now..." Seaberg said, turning his gaze to Lin En. "I hope the academy and the garrison can pay attention to everything related to the 'undead'. According to the prophecy sent by God, this will be the main ability of the Witch Cult priest. In addition, I will also work with the Saint to set up 'demon purification barriers' throughout Siena. Although I'm not sure that the Witch Cult will appear, the Sword Trial Festival is indeed a sensitive time. I hope the academy and the garrison can give us as much assistance as possible, at least to ensure that the Sword Trial Festival proceeds smoothly."

Well, to put it bluntly, the Archbishop and the Saint had also come to seek help. But because their reason for helping was the long-forgotten Witch Cult, they didn't receive support from the royal family.

I didn't expect that such a thing would happen behind the male protagonist's perspective. It turns out that the saint did not appear in the academy for no reason...

He subconsciously glanced at Latiya, only to find that she was also staring at him...

ha…?

This heroine is so weird.

Then the leader said, "This is what happened. I believe Bishop Seaberg wouldn't joke about this. Although it may sound a bit abrupt, I still hope that everyone can take this matter seriously. It's better to believe it than not to believe it."

Lin En nodded indifferently when he heard this. He didn't think much about this matter, but Justu felt a little uncomfortable.

"Dean, I understand your perspective, but the issue of the Witch Cult... putting aside the question of whether it will have a negative impact, whether the nobles are willing to believe it is also a question. If the nobles are unwilling to support us, we don't have the manpower and resources to provide them."

"Haha, don't worry, old friend, I will find a way to deal with the nobles. No matter what, we must give the church enough help." Mandel smiled kindly again.

In this way, it seems that Mandel has always had an ambiguous relationship with the church.

The fact is, the church was actually very weak during this period. But after almost every volume, the church's power would surge, until the people reached the point of blind worship. Is there something fishy going on here?

Damn it, my attention was distracted while I was playing the game!

Lin En was feeling annoyed when Mona beside him spoke as if it had nothing to do with her: "No, I think this is unnecessary. The Witch Cult has disappeared for hundreds of years, and it's impossible for them to suddenly make such a big fuss. Since the royal family did not support Bishop Seaberg's proposal, I will only prioritize Siena's stability."

As expected of the brainless Laramona.

Obviously, since this guy is a die-hard fan of the eldest princess, and since the church has hit a wall in the royal family, doesn’t it mean that the eldest princess has given a negative attitude?

Since the eldest princess has expressed a negative attitude, how can she be nice to her?

Seaberg probably knew this person to some extent, so he wasn't surprised at all when he heard him say that. He simply nodded and replied, "I understand Captain Mona's difficulties. I just hope you can make things easier for me when needed."
