How to survive in a soul-based game with full female mods

Moreover, they also knew that if they faced off head-on, they would not be able to compete with the Knights of the Silver Dawn with their own strength.

The two guards finally understood the situation and tried to grab their weapons, but their bodies were instantly frozen and cut into pieces.

"Ahhh!"

The guards were covered in blood, thrashing and wailing on the ground. Liz didn't even glance at the unconscious guards, who had lost consciousness from excessive blood loss, and rushed into the mansion. Alice, Erica, and Claudia followed closely behind.

The four knight commanders did not stop until they reached the gate of the mansion.

"The newcomer should be here, right?"

“The probability is very high.”

"Sister, are you going to rush in directly?"

"Of course I'm going. Even if you object, I'll go by myself."

Her usual playful and lively look was gone, and Liz was filled with a cold aura that matched her hair color.

At this moment, no matter what is blocking her in front, she will tear it all to pieces!

"Why should we object? If we're going in, then let's go in together. Besides, we're already so deeply involved, what else is there to worry about in our lives? I've wanted to kill that trash lord for a long time.

When you see that new person next time, you can tell them, "It's all because of you that we're like this. You must buy us a drink!"

Claudia strode forward, greatsword in hand. Raising the sword above her head, she struck the main gate with all her might.

With a bang, the door was chopped into pieces like a biscuit.

Liz went in first, followed by Alice, Erica, and Claudia.

"Welcome—"

As the four people entered the mansion, the first person they met was a maid who walked towards them with small steps and bowed her head to greet them politely.

"...?"

A question mark appeared above the four people's heads at the same time, and the hands holding their weapons slowly lowered in unison.

"So...was she just saying hello to us?"

"Welcome us? Did I just hear wrong?"

"I heard it too. I thought it was just my ears, but it seems like it's all of ours. Is it an illusion magic?"

Claudia, Erica, and Alice stood in front of the door, confused. Liz walked up to the maid and grabbed her by the collar.

"Stop playing tricks and tell me where the new guy is right now!"

"Mr. Newcomer asked me to invite everyone from the Knights to the reception room. Please follow me."

This time, even Liz could only be stunned.

The hand holding the collar slowly relaxed, the maid straightened her collar as if nothing had happened, turned around and started walking up the stairs, and the figure soon disappeared on the stairs.

However, none of the remaining four people took action.

It's not that he couldn't move, but because his brain was in such a huge shock that he couldn't think, and he forgot to close his open mouth.

Finally, the maid who couldn't wait for everyone upstairs came down again and asked the four people to follow her, and the four people finally arrived at the reception room.

Wait until everyone enters the room.

"Hey, are you all here?"

"Welcome, Captains of the Knights of the Silver Dawn."

At the table, Lin Yinxi and Aurora were sitting opposite each other, drinking tea leisurely.

039. Loopholes in Lies (Reward for Extra Updates~)

"..."

"..."

"..."

"..."

Liz and Alice, Erica and Claudia were stunned by what they saw.

Where did the original lord go? Why is her daughter Aurora, wearing an elegant dress, sitting on the sofa and talking to our new knights?

For them, who had never had any fond memories of the lord's mansion, it was very unfamiliar to them to see such a peaceful and warm scene in the mansion.

Whether it was the rich refreshments on the table, the polite maids, or the now-vanished, unpleasant glance from the fat pig lord, it was all a brand new experience.

Aurora spoke with a smile.

"First, I want to apologize for the crimes committed by the previous fat pig lord, and thank you for your efforts for our city despite this. Thank you, Knights General of the Silver Dawn."

Aurora stood up from the sofa and gently lifted the hem of her dress with both hands, slightly bent her knees, and bowed her head. The four of them still looked ahead blankly.

Although they knew that it was impolite not to respond when the other party was greeting them, their brains could not keep up with the current situation, so their bodies naturally did not move.

How shocked are they now? As if fully understanding their current confused mood, Aurora chuckled.

"I completely understand how the Knight Commanders are feeling. They must be very confused. I had the same reaction when that happened. If I'm confused, how could you not be confused? So, I don't think you're being rude at all. Please rest assured."

"Um, um, Aurora. What on earth is going on...?"

"The title also needs to be corrected. From now on, you can call me Lord. Or Lord Aurora is also fine. Please feel free to call me that."

"......ah?"

Claudia asked back in a dazed voice, a look of disbelief evident in her expression.

"Because the fat pig died."

Liz's hand trembled, and the biscuit she was about to put into her mouth fell into the ravine on her chest; Alice used too much force and crushed the handle of the teacup in her hand into pieces, Claudia grinned, and Erica seemed to choke and coughed and patted her chest.

"That fat pig... No, the lord is dead?"

"Yes, you can insult it as much as you want, Captain Liz. I don't care what you call it or what you call it. No, I would rather encourage everyone to use more insulting words to call it."

At first he wanted to call him "fat pig" as usual, but he seemed to think that it was a bit too much to call his father like that in front of his daughter, so he quickly changed his words, but Aurora's reaction was different.

Instead, it is encouraged to use more insulting words to refer to it.

"He's just my biological father, who passed on the royal bloodline to me. He's not a family member with whom I can interact. Look, now I'm calling that fat pig, aren't I?"

"Uh, I see. Then, Lord Aurora."

Aurora smiled with satisfaction. To her, this was a truly pleasant name... Yeah, she should have been sitting here a long time ago.

Of course, it is absolutely impossible to do this kind of thing alone, and the person who helped me achieve this achievement is——

Her golden eyes glanced at the man who was crunching on a biscuit a little distance away.

Seeing Aurora's eyes looking at the man she liked with some sticky emotions for some reason, Liz fell into deep thought. It was not until she heard the voice calling her that she hurried back to reality.

"Captain Knight Liz, do you have anything to ask?"

"...Ah, okay. I'd like to hear the details of how that fat pig died, okay?"

After Liz asked a question that the other knight leaders were very curious about, three pairs of curious eyes focused on Aurora.

Well, if we include the person who asked the question, there are 4 pairs in total.

Aurora leisurely took their gaze and brought the teacup to her lips.

"Of course I have to. Okay, then I'll start from the beginning and explain it in detail, point by point."

"Tsk, even though it's a pre-made lie, it sounds like the truth. Does Aurora still have a talent for acting?"

According to the agreement she had made with Lin Yinxi, Aurora only told the Knights the superficial reasons. After that, the right to reveal the truth was in Lin Yinxi's hands.

Someone defeated the Dullahan and accidentally discovered the Demon Book that was infested with demons.

In order to secretly discuss how to deal with the Demon Book, the Demon Book was brought to the lord, but the guy was blinded by desire. After sending Lin Yinxi away, he secretly summoned the demon.

Thankfully, the demons in the book are pretty weak, so no one else gets hurt.

However, due to the aftermath, the lord became a half-human, half-demon being, so after being stripped of all his rights according to the laws of the Empire, his traces were erased, and his place was filled by himself.

Aurora told the story with a confident expression and tone, and even filled in the gaps in the parts she thought were awkward, making the lie more believable.

"This is how it all happened, fellow Knight Commanders."

After the explanation, Aurora seemed a little thirsty. She brought the teacup to her mouth, and then she could hear the sound of her drinking tea.

This means that the reception room is now so quiet that you can even hear the tea flowing.

It was a long time before she started talking again. Staring blankly at the ceiling, gathering her thoughts, Alice spoke cautiously.

"...Honestly, I really think this is a ridiculous story. Apart from the fact that that guy is the type to summon demons because of his own desires, everything else seems like a dream."

“But this is what actually happened.”

"Yes, my lord. I know."

"If someone else had told me this story, I probably wouldn't have believed it. I would have just shouted, 'What a ridiculous lie!' and then swung my sword."

"A ridiculous lie... indeed."

Aurora chewed on the word over and over again, chuckling. She knew her explanations up to this point had been nothing but lies, and she found it ironic.

"But, newcomer."

"Ok?"

Alice's silver eyes stared at Lin Yinxi. Just as he was about to touch Aurora and tell the four of them the real plan he had made earlier.

"After hearing these words, I had a question."

"...?"

Lin Yinxi blinked, wondering what Alice was trying to say. Aurora's supplementary explanation probably had no loopholes. He briefly reviewed any possible errors in the story.

Surprisingly, it was easy to spot the problem.

"You can't possibly trust the lord more than we do, right? If you really had stumbled upon a book like this, you wouldn't have gone to the lord. Instead, you would have discussed how to deal with it with us."

Aurora showed a regretful expression at this time.

Come to think of it, considering the lord's terrible reputation in this city, it made no sense to go to that guy to discuss countermeasures in secret. Alice saw this clearly.

Of course, for the emperor who didn't know the situation of the lord and Lin Yinxi, the excuse of "I just joined the Knights of the Silver Dawn not long ago and didn't know the lord was such a rubbish" was still feasible.

But how could such an excuse work in front of the Knights General?

"Yes, just as you said, Alice. If I really had stumbled upon this book, I wouldn't have gone to that fat pig. Instead, I would have come to discuss it with you."

He admitted this obediently. He had intended to reveal his true plan at this point anyway, it was just that the timing was brought forward a bit.

"You admitted it so nicely... So, where does the lie begin and where does the truth end?"

"It's half true, half false. First of all, the part about the lord turning into a half-human, half-demon is true. And the part about no one else being harmed is also true. The part about Aurora becoming the lord is also true. The rest can be considered false."

"I think I understand. So, what was your reason for revealing such falsehoods to us earlier?"

"This lie is part of a plan for someone. Isn't there a huge difference between knowing it's a lie and not knowing it's a lie? That's why I wanted to reveal this to you in advance. And only with your cooperation can the plan be more complete."

"...You actually said it was a plan for someone. Who is that?"

"Someone will come to the basement and destroy that demon sooner or later."

Hearing Lin Yinxi's ambiguous words, Alice showed a puzzled expression, but soon she seemed to realize something and immediately looked at him with a pale face.

"Newbie, you don't mean to...!"

"Think what you will, Alice."
