"When the newcomer first met us, he said he was cursed by a witch and his memories were gone. But somehow, his memories are gradually returning. We also confirmed through the ability confirmation beads that the newcomer's ability value is 1, so we have no doubts about what you said."

That's when the problem comes. Erica sighed softly.

"Of course, we still trust you completely. That feeling will never change. However, I have always felt that there are things that the newcomer didn't tell us. You didn't lie, you just concealed part of the truth from the beginning. The newcomer should be well aware that there is a difference between the two."

"The claim that you were cursed by a witch is true. But that's not the truth we want to know."

Alice took over. Lin Yinxi was still drunk, his eyes blurry. Although he seemed to want to think, the alcohol prevented him from doing so.

"Who were you in the past?"

Yes, this question can be said to be the core of all questions. What kind of person was the newcomer in the past?

There were other questions piled up besides this, but the root of all the problems, in the final analysis, was this question. As long as the answer to what kind of person he was in the past was obtained, all the problems would be solved.

"What you said, isn't it because you regained your past memories that you were able to remember the solution to all the events? Then, what kind of person were you in the past is the key. Do you think you can give us an answer now?"

What kind of past could allow him to understand the movements of monsters he had just seen for the first time, master the inner workings of the Rune Labyrinth, and even treat demons as if nothing had happened?

If those actions were truly based on past memories, then he must be a remarkable man.

However, no one in the empire, not even the emperor, had ever achieved such a feat.

Because the emperor's way of solving problems has always been to suppress his opponents through overwhelming force.

This is fundamentally different from a newcomer who relies solely on basic abilities to overcome difficulties, not to mention overwhelming strength.

Especially the behavior towards demons.

What kind of past and what kind of experiences did he have to treat the devil's coming as a piece of cake, and then calmly use it to formulate a plan to kill the lord? It is really unimaginable.

Demons are not something that can be defeated simply by relying on superior abilities. Even the priests of the Holy Kingdom must be prepared to make sacrifices before defeating them.

But the newcomer was unusually calm. It was from that time that the Knights Generals began to truly become curious about his past.

"Can't you tell us what you are hiding from us?"

Lin Yinxi remained silent in response to Alice's polite yet serious request. His tightly closed lips showed no sign of opening.

There must be something.

The Knights Generals and Aurora exchanged glances. Since they chose silence instead of denial, there must be something unspeakable.

Aurora stepped forward and gently cupped his cheek with her hand, their eyes meeting. Lin Yinxi's bloodshot black eyes met hers, golden eyes filled with a strong will.

"Now, listen to me. Although I don't know what secret you have that you want to hide so well, we don't want to use it to do anything to you. On the contrary, we want to help you..."

"..."

"No matter what you did in the past, no matter who you are, we have no intention of finding fault with you. Even if you did make a mistake and were put in jail, it's the same. Maybe it was that way at the time, but it's different now. You can just accept it as something that happened in the past and start over."

"..."

"Look at us here. This is a place where you can have anything you want.

We have enough money, enough strength, enough power, and... and most importantly, women, if you want them, you can get them now.

If you want it, you can have it right now.”

"Wait a minute, Lord Aurora, what did you just say!?"

Liz interrupted Aurora, her blue eyes looking at her with caution. She seemed very wary of Aurora as her rival.

No wonder, from the first time we met in the mansion because of summoning the devil, I noticed that you looked at the newcomer in an unusual way. You actually had such thoughts!

Liz's alert level towards Aurora was raised to the highest level.

At first glance, one could simply assume that Aurora saw through Liz's thoughts, and the "woman" in this sentence refers to Liz, which is why she said this.

However, Aurora's eyes told Liz that this was definitely not what she really thought!

Her eyes were exactly the same as the ones he had when he first saw the newcomer, eyes full of feminine emotions.

Therefore, it is very clear who Aurora refers to when she says the word "woman".

"Oh, why do you say that? Am I right?"

"You seem to be mistaken. How can you say 'we' here? He is a member of our Knights of the Silver Dawn. Not a member of the Lord's House."

"You will ultimately have to obey my orders. Then your men will be my men."

"Does your logic match that pig's?"

"Isn't this natural? Just like His Majesty the Emperor lives in the Imperial Palace, I have to obey His Majesty's orders, and so do you. Or, do you not want to follow His Majesty the Emperor?"

When this question was asked, Liz hesitated for a moment.

For the Knights of the Silver Dawn, it was impossible not to follow the Emperor.

In contrast, Aurora had a smug smile on her face, a smile of victory.

After hesitating for a moment, Liz seemed to have found a clue to fight back. She glanced at Aurora's chest, burst into laughter, stared at Aurora's chest, and made a helpless gesture of taking a step back.

This time it was Aurora's turn to be angry. The look in her eyes just now made it clear what she meant.

Although Aurora's size is not small, it is indeed far from Liz's, who has ridiculously large breasts that are as big as her head.

The same goes for Lin Yinxi. From the moment he got drunk, he had been staring at Liz's chest, so it was not difficult to guess what his preferences were.

"Come, come, Lord, let's stop here. You can't reach that level now anyway."

Before the situation escalated further, Claudia quickly intervened. This was a place to uncover the newcomers' secrets, not a place for a Shura field of conflict.

The two were also very aware of this, so they chose not to continue the second fight.

They also realized that even if they fought each other here, they were not the ones who had the final say.

"Although the topic has deviated for a moment, this is what we want to ask. Who were you before?"

"Well... I said, no... no, but..."

"Can't tell? Does that mean there must be something?"

"..."

Perhaps because his words had revealed too much, he closed his mouth again, but the water that had been spilled could not be taken back. The looks of the Knights Generals and Aurora changed.

What he had just said was equivalent to saying that there was something he couldn't tell anyone, and that something was related to his past.

From now on, their mission is to find the answer.

......

The next day, in an unknown place, Lin Yinxi woke up and felt full of strength.

"I'm speechless..."

Suddenly, the memory of last night came to mind. He had expected them to be curious about his past, but he had not expected them to use such means to inquire.

I had wanted to find a time to announce it, but now the time seems to be sooner.

I was more speechless than angry about their trick of asking questions under the influence of alcohol.

After all, if we want to find out what is right and wrong, the problem starts from the moment they brazenly lie. They just want to figure out what their lies are.

It's just that the means are too outrageous.

This is probably how the Knight Commanders felt after hearing the news that I used demons to kill the lord.

'Did I answer the question?'

At that time, my mind was already in a mess due to alcohol, and I was deceived by Claudia's word game. I almost blatantly admitted that "I have a secret", and I recalled it clearly again.

But I have no memory of what happened after that.

I wasn't sure whether I had answered the question or was just trying to keep quiet. I was still in the dark, and the memory in my mind had stopped abruptly like a movie reel.

'Wait, where is this again?'

Lin Yinxi glanced around hurriedly. There were antique-style wallpaper and carpets on the floor. There was a large bed that could easily accommodate four or five people. This was probably one of the rooms in the lord's mansion.

With a feeling of trepidation, he lifted the quilt and checked around him. Fortunately, there was no one nearby, the bed was clean, and there were no signs of undressing or torn clothes.

"...I don't think anything will happen."

If it was Liz, it seemed entirely possible, and therefore even more distressing.

Seduce yourself during the blackout, let yourself attack, or vice versa.

Either way, it doesn't feel ridiculous.

"What happened next?"

"What? Are you awake? Do you remember what happened last night?"

While he was trying hard to recall, the door of the room suddenly opened and Liz strode in with a tray with a bright smile on her face.

It wasn't the see-through outfit she wore at the party, but the white vest and blue shark shorts she wore on a daily basis.

"Hey, you made me drink just to interrogate me?! And there are five of you working together?!"

"I still remember it~ What a pity, I guess I can't use it a second time."

Although he wasn't angry, he wanted to say something sternly, but when he saw Liz's nonchalant look, the words he wanted to say disappeared in an instant.

After all, I owe her a lot.

"So...did I say that?"

Liz calmly walked over and sat down on the edge of the bed, setting down a tray with a plate on it filled with steaming soup.

Lin Yinxi didn't feel particularly sad or anything, and it was past time to get angry, so he thought he should eat something first and reached for the spoon.

Pah—, Liz smiled and slapped the back of the hand that was extended to her, leaving Lin Yinxi with a bewildered look.

He raised a question mark above his head, and Liz picked up the soup plate, scooped up the soup with the spoon next to it and handed it to him.

"Ah~"

"..."

Her request to eat alone had no effect on her at all.

Lin Yinxi gave up resisting and obediently held the spoon in his mouth. Liz then scooped up another spoonful of hot soup with a satisfied look on her face and spoke.

"How much do you remember about what happened yesterday?"

"How much do you think I remember?"

Then Liz began to tell him what had happened at the beginning of the party. At that moment, he thought he was seen through.

Then he saw Liz looking over with a very meaningful smile.

What does that expression mean?

072. XP self-destructs afterward

Liz watched him finish the whole bowl of soup with a very meaningful smile. Then she took his hand, helped him up, and said, "Let's go to the living room now."

"What about the rest?"

"Everyone is doing their own thing. You were the last one to wake up. We woke up a long time ago."

It was true, there was nothing strange about the others getting up so early. After all, I had drunk so much yesterday that I was completely blacked out.

However, he was very surprised that Aurora was fine.

The Knights Generals were already very strong, so they would be fine. And Aurora was just an ordinary person, almost as drunk as herself, yet she was still fine.

With doubts in his mind, Lin Yinxi walked to the living room. Liz pushed the door open, and inside was Aurora, who was sitting elegantly on the sofa sipping tea.

"...?"

Still wearing that "super tight dress" dress.

I woke up so fast. It seems the party is not over yet. I'm going to take a nap.

Aurora was still wearing the same dress she had worn at the banquet yesterday. The fabric clung to her body, revealing the cleavage of her chest and underarms, with no trace of the outline of her underwear.

Just as Lin Yinxi was sorting out his random thoughts, Aurora smiled slightly and spoke.

"You got up later than I thought. The sun has already risen to the top of the mountain. Was it too intense last night?"
