Chapter 172: The Prince and the Knight
"How could such a thing happen......"
After listening to Lin Ling tell him about his experience of almost being killed, Reinharut's brows were already very furrowed, and there was some undisguised shock and anger in his eyes, "Who actually attacked you?!" ”
He was genuinely shocked and genuinely angry.
Shocked, because he didn't expect that there would be someone in this royal capital to attack the royal bloodline - yes, although the royal family is almost dead, Reinharut, who has little roots in intrigue and intrigue, actually didn't realize that there was a conspiracy in it.
He really thought that the death of the royal bloodline in the near future was almost an accident - because although there were people like Zoran who were poisoned, the deaths of the vast majority of royal family members were indeed "accidental".
An old coward like Lin Ling, who is accustomed to layout, can naturally see at a glance how many elements of the so-called "accident" have been arranged, and understand how simple it is to make a person's death like an accident. But for a guy like Reinharut van Asterea, he really couldn't see it.
Of course, it's not that our Juggernaut is stupid. In fact, Reinharut is definitely not stupid, and can even be called smart, but he is too upright, too bright, too kind, and he almost uses all his wisdom on how to make the kingdom better and how to help others, which leads to his basic intrigue theory to look at a thing, to analyze a person, and his sensitivity to conspiracy is almost zero.
It can be said that if Reinharut's ability in frontal combat is level 100, then in terms of playing intrigue and trickery, he is probably a first-level trumpet. This can be seen from the arrogance line of the original book, after Reinharut was played by Caiyue Ang and was ruined, he was still unaware of his yin.
Angry, because Reinharut Van Astrea, a knight loyal to the royal family, how could Reinharut not be angry that the last prince of the royal family was almost poisoned. You must know that in the original book, Reinharut chose to support Firut simply because Filut was a princess of the royal family, otherwise there were five dragon witches, so why could Filut get the support of this big man.
In this regard, Lin Ling, who had expected it for a long time, showed a wry smile, his pupils were slightly afraid and fearful, and said, "I don't know who wants to kill me...... But to be honest, I'm really scared, maybe I'm too weak......" The final tone was self-deprecating.
Lin Ling was not ready to show his strong side, he still planned to maintain Zuolan's pitiful image in the early days, of course, it was necessary to be appropriately excellent.
"Please don't be presumptuous, Your Highness Zoran." Hearing Lin Ling's words, Reinharut almost immediately retorted, and he said seriously and respectfully: "It's just human nature to be afraid in the face of death, even a knight who has been tempered for thousands of years cannot be fearless in the face of death, not to mention that Your Highness is still so young." In fact, you can detect that something is wrong with the maid on your own and avoid her poisonous hands, which is already very good. ”
"And now that you don't know who the murderer is, you still come to seek the help of the Astrella family, which is enough to prove that Your Highness has more determination and judgment than ordinary people."
What breed of rainbow skin is this?
I didn't expect you to be such a Lai Aotian!
Lin Ling suddenly looked at Reinharut with some surprise, this is an emotion that does not need to be concealed, after all, for a person who was still feeling sorry for himself just now, it is normal to suddenly get a high evaluation from the big guy and be surprised.
Reinharut smiled softly and said, "Your Highness, you are very brave! ”
He really thought so, and even if there was almost no intrigue nerves, Reinharut at least knew how vulnerable a child could be who had just been betrayed by the maid he had grown up with, and who had no relatives.
In this case, it would be difficult for a normal person to trust anyone until they found the murderer, but Lin Ling was able to adjust his emotions in such a short period of time and seek his help. Even if an adult can do this, it can be regarded as excellent, not to mention that Lin Ling is only a 13-year-old child.
"Yes, yes?" Lin Ling glanced at him a little unnaturally, as if he was embarrassed by Rhine's straightforward compliment.
Seeing this, Reinharut's smile became softer and softer, and then his expression became firm again.
He suddenly knelt down on one knee in front of Lin Ling, lowered his head, and said solemnly: "Your Highness Zolan, I, Reinharut Van Astrea, swear in the name of a knight that as long as I am alive, I will not let anyone hurt Your Highness." ”
If it was in the past, Reinharut would naturally not easily make such an oath, but now that there is only one seedling left in the royal bloodline, Lin Ling, loyal to Reinharut can't find a reason not to protect the young prince in front of him.
He was the one who would not hesitate to help other people's requests, not to mention that he was still facing a person who was worthy of his protection in terms of blood and morality - although it was only the first time they met, Reinharut's intuition should have told him that the young man in front of him was definitely not a bad person.
He trusts his instincts.
Ahh
Is royal bloodline so easy to use?
Lin Ling smacked his tongue a little, he looked at the solemn and determined knight in front of him, the corners of his mouth hooked, and his smile was happy and moved.
He said equally earnestly and solemnly: "Then my future safety will be left to you, Mr. Reinharut." ”
"I will not fail your trust, Your Highness." Reinharut said, raising his head, his eyes unadulterated with firmness.
"Well, I believe you ......" Lin Ling looked at him and nodded, with the same unreserved trust in his eyes.
Of course he believed in Reinharut, after all, Lin Ling knew very well that with the character of this sword saint, as long as he promised something, he would do it even if he went up the sword mountain and went down to the sea of fire.
And the strength of the ceiling, the unprincipled doting of the world's will, ensures that most of what Reinharut wants to do, he can do.
In fact, Lin Ling had thought about it when he was from zero, if it weren't for the jealousy witch devouring half of the world, he would be able to influence the will of the world to a certain extent, and he would "love" Cai Yueang deeply. In the arrogance chapter, even if Cai Yueang plays intrigues and crushes Reinharut, it is difficult to say whether he can calculate Reinharut or not - maybe someone else calculates Reinharut, and the will of the world will immediately add him a protector who can see through the conspiracy, believe it or not!
Didn't you see that because Reinharut couldn't tell the difference between sugar and salt, the will of the world Ma Ma even put the protection of [being able to distinguish between sugar and salt] on Lai Aotian?
Lin Ling has every reason to believe that in the arrogance line, Rhine Harut has been repeatedly yin and has not received the corresponding protection, and he is completely jealous that the witch uses a GM account to interfere with the will of the world! [Funny]
