Even if an arm or leg is cut off, it can be reattached with timely use of potions and magical treatment, so the lives of people in this world are very resilient.
Among them, Claudia is the most outstanding one.
In fact, she didn't have to stay in the ward now, and she could be discharged immediately, but Erica said not to think about leaving the ward until the treatment was over, so she could only stay obediently.
After all, even if she was seriously injured and only had her ruptured wounds roughly healed with bandages, she had been riding at full speed for two days. How could her body not have recovered?
"He left with such confidence on his face, let's just believe it. He must have some thoughts in his mind. Besides, this is actually better for the newcomer. Don't you understand? Your actions are equivalent to treating the newcomer as someone who can't be trusted at all."
"..."
"Alice, you can read people's facial expressions. You should have noticed it a long time ago. Was there any hesitation or fear on his face when he left?"
029. I'm back~
Alice shook her head.
In fact, far from sensing any fear or hesitation from the newcomer, she even sensed a certain excitement in him. She couldn't even guess why.
He was a man he himself could not understand. What was his confidence, how much confidence did he have, and why did he feel so excited when he faced the monster that even Claudia had easily defeated alone?
"I'm still not sure if I should send someone to follow him alone. Isn't there a way to keep a distance and track him?"
"He said not to even think about following me. Have you thought about what you'd do if you were discovered?"
"Do you think the newcomers will be able to detect our presence, Claudia?"
"Well, you also said that the newcomer was cursed and his ability value was 1, right? That's pretty consistent with the strength of a small fry~"
"That's why I'm anxious, you know, new people..."
Claudia was irritated.
"Yeah, yeah, I'm tired of hearing about it! The newbie cursed by the witch, the one who single-handedly defeated a monster in prison with only a crude steel sword, and the one who performed brilliantly during the induction test with Liz. Now my ears are almost callused from hearing it all."
"If he could reach the capabilities of a regular knight in the Order, I wouldn't be worried. Claudia, you know what it means to be cursed by a witch."
"I know, I know, I know, Alice."
Claudia leaned against the back of the bed, her pale pink eyes turning to Alice.
"This is the path he chose. If that newcomer successfully defeats the monster and returns, then he'll be a talented newcomer worthy of our training. If he doesn't return, he'll be a worthless, impulsive loser who doesn't even recognize his own strength, is ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth, and acts on impulse."
We have no right to interfere, nor should we. If that newcomer nearly died because of his ignorance, even if he survived with our help, do you think his frivolous personality would change? Probably not at all, right?
"..."
"Also, I can't understand you, Alice. Why are you so overprotective of that newcomer? Didn't you say that he even faced a human butcher with a sword and passed Liz's joining test?
So there's no problem at all. I'm not particularly excited, but I'm not worried either. Since he left with such confidence, I'll just give it a go.
"......Yeah?"
"Really? No, it is. That's it. You're just worrying for nothing! Really, what on earth has that strange new guy done? Liz, too, and you, Alice, are all so worried? Is there some magic trick to attract women?"
Although her face and figure are still quite good. Thinking of this, Claudia stretched. She was sore all over after staying in bed all day. She couldn't stand it anymore.
"Who's attracted to me? Impossible! I'm just worried about the new guy!"
“Newcomer!!!!”
Just then, Alice's words were interrupted by Liz's loud voice coming from outside the window.
Alice and Claudia looked at each other, stunned for a moment, and then they both stood up without anyone speaking first.
"...Why that expression? Liz, what did I do wrong?"
"What did you do wrong? You made a huge mistake! Do you know how worried we were about you when you were gone?!"
When Lin Yinxi returned with the horse head and the huge lance used by the headless knight as evidence of the crusade, he was greeted by a very awkward atmosphere. For a moment, he even thought he had done something wrong after returning.
"No, I promised you I would come back."
"Did you know that promises like these are usually never kept?!"
Liz looked at him with a ridiculous expression. After all, in the heroic stories circulated in taverns, the promise of a return was often used as a sign of death.
"Didn't I come back?"
Lin Yinxi said confidently, and Liz looked at him speechlessly. But because she really came back, she had no way to refute it.
"Really..."
Liz showed a complex and subtle expression, then smiled and hugged him in her arms, softly close to him. At that moment, he almost couldn't control his lower body and wanted to lift it up uncontrollably.
As he tried to stop himself from reacting to the soft feeling of contact, Erica came up beside him, smiling.
"Mr. Newcomer."
"Ah, Erica."
"Really, newcomers are always so surprising."
The voice sounded a bit annoying, but Erica's expression revealed a sense of relief, and the smile on her face showed no trace of negative emotion.
"I sincerely congratulate you on your success. For a new member to defeat a large monster in less than a week after joining the group is truly a record. It's a record that will probably never be broken."
"Thank you. Anyway, breaking my record is not something that ordinary people can do."
"Ordinary people? Is that some very humble way of putting it?"
While Lin Yinxi and Erica were talking, Alice and Claudia, who had been carefully examining the huge horse head on the ground, stood up.
“…It’s true.”
"Haha, I really conquered this."
Alice expressed surprise when she saw the horse's head, while Claudia laughed dryly.
"Didn't I tell you I'd go and defeat it? Do you have some confidence in me now?"
"Really...you..."
Alice stared at him blankly, speechless. Claudia strode closer, walked up to Lin Yinxi, looked him up and down, then jumped up and hooked her arms around his neck. Due to the huge height difference between them, her feet were still dangling in the air.
"Congratulations, newbie. You're no small fry! I acknowledge you, and I have to say this again. 'Alice, where did you get such a remarkable child?'"
"Thank you for your recognition, Captain Claudia."
"Can you drink well?"
"what?"
When he heard Claudia's admission while she was hanging in the air, he immediately replied "thank you" and then was asked "how much can you drink", which made him look confused.
Claudia laughed out loud and hugged Lin Yinxi's neck tightly. Perhaps because Claudia had not let go of his intimacy, Liz, who had already hugged his arm, seemed dissatisfied and hugged his arm even tighter.
"How much alcohol can you handle? You should have a drink to celebrate. You don't have veto power, so just follow me. I'll pay special attention to you today!"
"Uh… first of all, not today."
"Ah? Not today? Why?"
"Just watch! I'm going to beat you in the bar! Trash!" Claudia's drunkard-like face instantly turned into a bewildered expression. Lin Yinxi glanced down at the bag hanging around his waist containing the Demonic Book.
"I have other things to do."
When Lin Yinxi said that there were other things to do, the four knight commanders expressed confusion at the same time.
"There's still work to do, what does that mean?"
He smiled and replied:
"You'll find out soon enough."
030.Meet again
The Knight Commanders pressed him on what he was going to do, but he simply smiled and laughed it off, indicating that this was something he didn't want to answer for the time being.
In fact, if you want to say it, you can.
Although it might be a little abrupt and hard to believe, no one in the Knights would object to the opportunity to kill without hesitation the lord who had brought them to this point and had been stirring up trouble in everything until now.
Alice, who sticks to her principles, will also passively agree.
However, the reason he had to conceal what he was going to do next was because the lord might eavesdrop on the conversation in the castle.
Although players cannot use it directly, there is a magic spell in the game that can continuously monitor a specific area. The NPC who used it is the owner of the magic tower in the later stages of the game.
Therefore, if you take the route of being hostile to humans in the game and face the magic tower master who exists as a boss, the player will be in hell difficulty in every sense, which is really very difficult.
This NPC can use the monitoring field magic spread throughout the magic tower or the large library to monitor the player's actions, and then hide in the boss room to cast magic.
In other words, from entering the Magic Tower and the Great Library to reaching the boss room and defeating the Magic Tower Master, the entire venue is the scope of the boss battle.
It must be that NPC who cast the "refresh" magic on this castle, but Lin Yinxi is not sure whether that NPC has cast the monitoring magic here as requested by the lord.
From the outset, this section is different from the game, making it difficult to pin down.
Although there is no detection magic in the game, the lord and the knight commander there are all men. Now the knights have become women, and the lord wants to turn them all into sex slaves.
It wouldn't be surprising if that perverted lord wanted to eavesdrop.
Therefore, if you insult the lord together with the Knights General, you may not arouse suspicion, but as for killing the lord, you must at least remain silent.
If I get caught, I can't just explain it away as a joke.
...
"Why, why are you here again?"
"I have come to report to you, Lord, on the subjugation of the monster."
Lin Yinxi used the Ability Confirmation Bead to increase his attribute points to Holy Power, and after asking Alice for something, he went to the mansion again. The guard at the front door was still extremely rude.
When he walked into the mansion holding the horse head to look for the lord, the servants murmured loudly with contempt when they saw him, then took the horse head and disappeared somewhere.
As the servants took the horse's head and left, they seemed to be cursing, as if they wanted him to hear them.
This time, as before, a maid took him to an empty reception room, where he waited for a long time.
This was the lord's usual tactic, he wanted to gain the upper hand in the conversation, so he gave him a show of force.
"coming?"
"Yes, Lord."
After waiting for a long time, the maid came in and spread tea and snacks on the table in the living room, and then the lord dragged his heavy body and staggered in. Every time he saw the lord, he thought the lord's body shape was really amazing.
"I've seen what you brought as evidence of your subjugation. It's the monster that Claudia reported you failed to subjugate."
"It's no big deal."
"Anyway, you did a good job. Haha, I'm always pretty good at judging people."
'Are you good at judging people?'
When Lin Yinxi heard this, he almost laughed out loud.
If he really had good foresight, wouldn't he have noticed that the person sitting in front of him was trying to deal with him?
"That's enough private conversation. Why are you here? You didn't invite me here just to report something like this, did you? Isn't the task I assigned to you still unfinished?"
The lord leaned heavily against the back of the sofa, his face showing an extremely arrogant expression. His expression made people want to punch him in the face.
Because the bait had not been laid yet, Lin Yinxi looked at the lord with a very sincere expression.
"From now on, can you keep what I say next a secret without any conditions?"
"Okay, I promise. Tell me about it."
"You must swear solemnly that this matter will remain confidential."
Seeing his stubborn persistence, the lord seemed to realize that something was wrong, and the smile on his face suddenly disappeared. He replied, "I understand."
Lin Yinxi took out the demon book that housed the demon from his waist pocket. When the lord saw it, his eyes almost popped out, and his eyes were full of greed.
"This is...... "
"My lord, I believe you can guess what this is."
