The villain's goal is to save the heroine

What does that have to do with the problem at hand?

"Oh, for Black Blade's sake?" Lin En wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and stood beside Eunice with a gloomy expression. "Mona Sophis, I'm really fed up with your stupid remarks... I can tell you clearly now that you are a complete, 100% stupid piece of shit! If you don't agree, think about it now. Have you done anything useful since Cecilia disappeared? Nothing! Besides using your narrow mind to speculate about accidents, the worst thing you've done is letting the culprit go!"

Chapter 155 Mona's Collapse

In response to Lin En's verbal abuse, Mona could only bite her lips in silence, without any room for rebuttal.

Rather, she had actually been confronted by Lin En to the point where she had no chance to fight back, but there was always a feeling of resentment and anger in her heart, which made her shamelessly force herself to be tough.

But now she couldn't do that anymore.

She certainly didn't contribute to Cecilia's situation...

Now, out of selfish motives, he let Augustus, the culprit, go...

How could she argue?

"So, do you understand?" Lin En's angry voice continued, "You are just a self-righteous and arrogant piece of trash! The reason you can stay with the princess is, as you said, just because 'Black Blade' shed blood and made contributions to this country, and you are given a little mercy! Now you have a little self-awareness? You can't distinguish right from wrong, good from evil! How dare you say such words as 'I will not wrongly accuse a good person, and I will not let a bad person go'? Think carefully about what you have done and how you questioned me. As a human being, don't you feel ashamed?"

Lin En's words were even more hurtful than the previous ones.

She did say that, and she did question Lynn out of her prejudice, but now the facts are in front of her. The culprit is Augustus. So, isn't her claim of "not wrongly accusing a good person" a joke?

and…

The eldest princess has always been her weak spot.

Before this, she had already doubted herself because of Lin En's criticism, and now Lin En gave her such a strong reason...

Yes, for the sake of Black Blade, even if she is a useless waste, the princess will continue to employ her, right?!

This fact made Mona's heart twitch, and whatever she had been holding on to collapsed in an instant!

However, Lin En continued to speak. "Listen up, Mona Sophie. If it weren't for you, we wouldn't have wasted so much time! We might even have saved Cecilia by now! You're not just a waste, you're a complete negative! Your existence is no different from shit in a toilet, meaningless except to disgust people! If you still have any conscience and still consider yourself a human being, you should bow your head before you speak and sincerely apologize for your shameless actions. Do you understand?!"

These words made Mona's entire body tremble uncontrollably, and the feeling of collapse completely erupted.

Obviously…

Even though she was being scolded like this, she had no way to refute it...

even…

Even she herself felt that what Lin En said made sense. After all, the facts were already before her. It seemed that apart from finding fault and delaying the rescue time, she really... had only negative effects!

Own…

When did I become so disgusting?

Was she wrong from the beginning?

Mona's eyes were dull, and she had gone from doubting herself to doubting life.

Yes, although Lin En usually looks gentle and doesn't talk much, as a "key" fairy who once chased the game and scolded people all the way, Lin En is obviously more aggressive in scolding people when he is in a broken defense state.

When he said these words, he had the same mentality as when he criticized the game, just six words -

I wish the other person would die!

And what about Mona?

Obviously, she couldn't even withstand Lin En's sharp tongue in the first stage, so how could she withstand the offensive in the second stage?

Lynn's verbal attack targeted Mona's soft spot. A princess and the "Ebony Knights", every word he said was as sharp as a knife, which stunned Mona!

"Yes...I'm sorry..."

Mona was speechless and could only lower her head, letting out an unimaginable cry of grievance from between her lips.

Anger stemmed from reluctance, while apology came from acknowledgment. After Lin En's previous rounds of bombardment, and now with the added breakthrough point of Black Front, Mona could no longer maintain her composure.

She had to admit her incompetence and narrow-mindedness, had to admit that she was a stupid and arrogant waste, and so, the woman was finally broken down by Lin En's scolding.

"I say...Stinky Lin, are you a little bit venomous?"

The sharp-tongued little Lolita actually thought he was a bit sharp-tongued, but only a little bit. It seemed that he still had room for improvement.

"Hey!" Lin En continued to attack the already collapsed Mona. "Isn't it enough to say 'I'm sorry'? If you're not convinced, there's no need to be so hypocritical. It will only make you look hypocritical and despicable! Instead of forcing yourself like this, you might as well maintain your original appearance. Even if it's disgusting and makes people want to vomit, at least it can be considered open and honest! What are you like now? Huh?! Or are you so useless that you can't even apologize properly?! Have you learned to make trouble in your 23 years of life?"

"I'm... I'm sorry... It's all my fault..." Mona's body trembled with every word Lin En said. "I'm willing to take all the blame... I'll accept any criticism you give me... I only beg you to let Augustus go... The older generation of 'Ebony Knights' are all dead, and Augustus is probably the only one left alive... Let him live, and let the only 'Ebony Knight' have a good end... I'm sorry... This is all I can do..."

As he spoke, he lowered his head even lower and his shoulders slumped.

Clearly, Mona had lowered her stance. Thinking back to the arrogant, sullen-faced woman not long ago, her current state was simply unbearable.

Furthermore, her motivation wasn't actually wrong. As a descendant of the Black Blade, she simply wanted to keep her predecessors, who had suffered horrific treatment, alive. That wasn't a bad thing.

but…

"madness!"

Lynn cursed loudly, the sudden outburst of volume making Mona tremble like a frightened rabbit.

"Mona Sophis, as a piece of trash, your level of worthlessness is beyond my imagination! You are now the leader of the 'Royal Knights', so why do you still have such superficial thoughts? Don't you understand after seeing Augustus's skull? He is already dead! He survived to this day by sacrificing living people to the 'Sacred Tree'! The 'Ebony Knight', who was once a hero, has now killed countless innocent people and even set his sights on Cecilia in order to save his own life. Can such a person still be called the 'Ebony Knight'?"

Mona was scolded so much that she just trembled continuously but didn't dare to make a sound.

Lin En shouted again, "I'm telling you, you can't! When he extended his hands to innocent people, he was already corrupted! You can sympathize with him, pity him, but as the leader of the new Black Blade, the last thing you should do is indulge him! If you still have even a little sense of responsibility as a leader, you should do it for the sake of this so-called senior and let him die peacefully while still retaining the glory of the Black Blade Knights, instead of letting him continue to harm innocent people as a ghost! This is a blasphemy against the Black Blade. As a leader, don't you understand such a thing, you useless piece of shit!!"

Even though she was wearing the Ice Heart Pendant, Lin En became more and more excited as he spoke. He couldn't help but want to kick her, but unfortunately, the little girl held him tightly.

In any case, now is not the time for civil unrest, and taking action is indeed not in line with the current situation.

However, these words undoubtedly hit Mona hard again.

If Mona was just beginning to collapse before, she is now completely in a state of complete collapse!

Did she...do something wrong again?

Is this even wrong?!

Can't refute...

Totally can't refute...

She was so focused on keeping the "Ebony Knight" alive that she ignored the meaning of life.

If Augustus has gone against the former "Ebony Blade", then he has betrayed "Ebony Blade". As the leader, how can she only consider survival?

Aren't there things in this world that are far more important than being alive?

and so…

That's why his father went to the Tashengzun Forest even though he knew it was a trap...

Ah, Lin En was right, she is a useless piece of shit...

She is not qualified to be the leader of this group...

I am not qualified to stay with the princess...

The color disappeared from Mona's eyes and she collapsed to the ground.

Chapter 156: Take Mona with you

"Almost... it's almost there, isn't it, Lin En..."

Seeing Mona like this, Eunice couldn't help but feel a little sympathetic.

"I didn't know you could be so scary when you were so sharp-tongued... Never mind her, or that... Right! Rescuing Cecilia is more important!... Eh? So I'm here to rescue that Cecilia guy?!"

Eunice was so busy provoking Lynn that she only realized the purpose of this trip at this moment.

Claire, who had been silent the whole time, quickly stood up and said, "Miss Eunice is right. No matter what, rescuing Cecilia is the most important thing now...Lin En, Sister Mona has admitted her mistake. As agreed, I hope you won't provoke her anymore...Her behavior may be inappropriate in some ways, but you can't completely deny her! Everyone has strengths and weaknesses, and everyone makes mistakes. Now that you've vented your anger and things have come to this, we must act quickly..."

I have to say that Claire is a pretty good person both in the game and in reality.

And he's a good, reasonable person!

Mona letting Augustus go was unacceptable in any way, so he didn't force himself to speak for Mona. However, after Lin En's heated speeches, he still stood up to smooth things over for Mona.

Look how well this is said. Who doesn’t have shortcomings?

Who doesn't make mistakes?

It's almost good enough. What can you say to change it?

Isn't it more important to do business now?

Lin En had no way to refute this, so he could only repeat his conclusion of entering a different dimension and prepare to enter the "Forest of the Sacred Trees" as soon as possible. However, after taking a few steps, he couldn't help but frown, swung his sword and turned back:

"Hey, what are you still doing here?"

Although she had been pua'd like a stray dog ​​by Lin En, Mona still followed the crowd.

"I...I want to help..." Mona lowered her head quickly when she saw Lin En.

but…

"Help?" Lin En snorted coldly, "Don't be so arrogant! You still think you can help now? You are a burden. Without you, things would not have turned out like this! You are just a waste, and you still think you can help? Don't forget, we just had a bet. What should the loser do? Kneel down and lick the other person's toes to apologize, right? But you don't deserve it! You are not even qualified to lick my toes! Mona Sophis, just thank this young master for his magnanimity, now save me and get back! Then I won't bother you about the bet! Do you understand? This is the greatest contribution you can make, understand? Get out of here! "

As he said this, he shook his hands in annoyance, as if he was chasing away some garbage.

Yes, Lin En really didn't want this stupid woman to follow him anymore. If this guy had already been confirmed to have replaced Lin En's negative attributes, then it might cause trouble later. If that was the case, wouldn't it be better to eliminate him directly?

Anyway, whether it was good or not is another matter, but his remarks dealt another heavy blow to Mona.

Lin En has been scolding people for at least twenty years. This will obviously cause psychological trauma to Mona, who has begun to doubt her life!

This is true.

Mona was truly frightened by Lin En's pua this time. After being scolded once again, she felt a surge of fear. She felt like if Lin En opened his mouth, he would stab her in the chest, and that the damage would be even worse than a real knife or gun. Her body trembled almost instinctively.

Finally, tears flowed from the eyes of this woman who had always been looking for trouble, and she couldn't help sobbing on the spot.

Seeing this scene, even the extreme little girl thought Lin En was a bit extreme: "Hey, hey, Lin En, why don't you just stop it? Although this guy is a bit annoying, I think she might have a problem if she keeps going like this! It's just a little scumbag who got away. I can catch him back for you later!"

Obviously, Eunice just has a bad personality, but she is actually a very nice person, otherwise she would not have met this guy in the sewer.

only…

It’s not a question of whether to catch him or not.

This guy will definitely inherit "Lynn's" attributes and he can't stop!

After a moment's thought, Claire advised Mona, "Sister Mona, um...why don't you just leave this matter to us? As a former member of the Ebon Blade, it's really inappropriate for you to face Augustus. You should just stay outside and be ready to assist us."

At this time, although Eunice and Claire were speaking for Mona, this stupid woman had already been stimulated by Lynn to the point of being a little mentally weak. She could not listen to what they said at all. She just felt that the words "annoying" and "really inappropriate" were particularly harsh, as if she had been abandoned by the whole world, and a feeling of almost despair rose in Mona's heart.

then…

"thump!"

Mona knelt down, sobbing and pleading in a humble tone, "I'm... I'm sorry, it's all my fault... I'm a stupid, useless piece of shit... I'm sorry... I'm so sorry! So, please, let me join this operation. I'll do anything... Please! Whether it's Cecilia or Augustus, just let me fulfill my responsibilities... You can do whatever you want with me afterward, please...!"

Her actions could be said to be extremely humble. Having suffered psychological trauma from Lynn's verbal violence, Mona subconsciously began to prevent this kind of violence, so she directly chose the most humble way of begging.

Seeing this scene, the little girl was dumbfounded, and Claire hurried to support her. "What...what are you doing? Get up, Sister Mona! You are the one in charge of the garrison! It's not up to you to decide whether to participate or not. Why are you begging that guy?!"

Obviously, as bystanders, Eunice and Claire are just "outsiders".

Because Linn's attack wasn't directed at them, they couldn't imagine the psychological damage Mona had endured! They had no connection to the princess, and they didn't understand Black Blade's past, so they couldn't empathize. So, despite Claire's constant persuasion, she couldn't pull Mona up.

There's no way, Mona is also afraid. She has been scolded so many times in the past half day. A game through the screen can make people break down, let alone a face-to-face solo with real people?

Claire had no choice but to glare at Lin En angrily: "Are you satisfied now?! You have to force Mona into this state before you can feel at ease, right? What terrible mistake did she make to deserve such awful treatment from you?! Are you any better than that?! You are so happy to gain a sense of accomplishment by constantly blaming others for their mistakes?! You are the most despicable person!!"

Claire's words were very harsh, and it was obvious that he was really angry. After all, Mona was still his companion, and it was inevitable that he would be angry when he saw her being forced into this state.

However, although he was angry, what he said made sense.

In fact, as long as the perspective was high enough, the conflict between him and Mona was not so serious as to cause deep hatred. Lin En was just venting his anger, so he took advantage of the other party's exposed problems and repeatedly ravaged them. This was indeed not a commendable move.

only…

"Stop it, Claire!" Mona shouted anxiously, afraid that Lin En would rant at her again. "It's... I'm useless! I'm indeed a narrow-minded, stupid loser! Lin En was right, I should have known myself earlier... He scolded me and woke me up...! I'm sorry, Claire, I'm a useless sister, you must not learn from me..."

There is no doubt that Mona's mentality has completely collapsed when she said such words.

She has been completely convinced of her own position by Lin En's pua. She is no longer the confident leader of the Royal Knights, but has truly become a humble, fearful, self-deprecating waste!

When Claire heard Mona's words, he couldn't help but stare at her in astonishment. He wanted to say something, but looking at her pleading and sad expression, he opened his mouth and finally fell silent.

What could he say?
