Of course, in the best case, the old body also hopes that the world can be freed from Russ's domination forever and evolve his own history independently. In that case, as long as it takes a few hundred years, it will not be impossible for the human world and the Dark Territory to merge peacefully. …… But to break free from the god named Russ is a fantasy, and you know that better than anyone else. ”

Faced with this sudden questioning, Lin Yiyan bit his lip and fell silent. Then, Lin Yiyan said slowly, "Maybe, I can ......"

Looking at Lin Yiyan, who was talking intermittently, Cardinal's face was puzzled, and Lin Yiyan could only continue, "I'm not a professional either, so I don't really understand that I entered this world to change this world!" ”

"Change the world? The old body doesn't understand it very well! ”

"Hey, let's put it this way, we want a scientific angel who came to this world in order to obtain the Fluct Light with an independent soul!" Speaking of this, Lin Yiyan said with a wry smile, "It's a pity that this world is like the Central Imperial Capital, with iron walls and completely inaccessible, so I took the risk to come in!" Moreover, I am now in charge of Russ! ”

"Is that why you came into this world? I can't think of you......" Cardinal's eyes widened and he looked at Lin Yiyan in surprise.

"Yes, so, you don't need to be so desperate!" Lin Yiyan paused and continued, "Indeed, it is better to let people disappear unconscious in an instant than to die full of pain, and the answer you have come to may be correct...... However, I can't just accept this result. Because, I have had too much contact with the people of this world. ”

The smiles of the people who had spoken cordially with him in Lulid and Santoria flashed through his mind. Lin Yiyan certainly didn't want to see them die a tragic death at the hands of the Dark Territory's army. But is it really the only and best way to work with Cardinal and help her remove everyone's souls?

Definitely not!

Lin Yiyan thought to himself with such certainty.

"So, you came to this world to ......?" Faced with Cardinal's question, Lin Yiyan replied, "For now, find the console, let the people from the outside in, and fight the Administrator at the same time!" Of course, this is the recently discovered goal, as well as the eccentricity of eliminating this world! As for the load experiment you mentioned, we haven't been around for a long time, so we don't know anything about the specific situation of this world! ”

"Just take over?" Cardinal fell silent, and then, slowly, asked, "I remember that a few years ago, the world was frozen and everything came to a standstill, is it also your masterpiece?" ”

"Huh? I remember all the Fluct Light frozen, you know? Lin Yiyan asked in surprise.

"Maybe it's because of my Cardinal System connections!" Cardinal nodded, "Although it was frozen, it didn't completely close this world, because I didn't want this world to disappear!" I guess the Administrator knows that too! ”

"........." Lin Yiyan had to sigh, it was really a wonderful world of TMD!

In the end, Lin Yiyan shook his head and said, "Let's continue to talk about the load experiment!" ”

“…… Almost twenty years ago, after realizing that the Dark Territory's invasion was inevitable, the old body began to look for someone who could become the sword of the old body more desperately than before......" This sentence is probably the end of Cardinal's long history.

“…… However, even if the level of swordsmanship and divine skills of the companions found by the old body is high, if he wants to face the Administrator himself, in addition to the integrated knight who is the guard, he still has to remove another huge obstacle. ”

"Anything else?"

"Hmm. While searching for candidates, Lao Shen also considered dozens of ways to solve this problem, but no matter which one, there are considerable risks...... While the old body was meditating, time had flown by, and before he knew it, he had reached the early stage of the load experiment, and the advance force sent by the Dark Territory had begun to threaten the Termination Mountain Range, and its number had reached the point where the eight integration knights originally equipped could not be wiped out. - At the same time, it was also the time when the old man began to reflect on whether to give up fighting to regain authority, and instead stand up and try to convince the Administrator of something like this. At this moment, one of the demons I released heard an impossible rumor from the mouths of the inhabitants of the northern border. ”

"Rumors that can't happen?"

"At least, the rumor refers to an event that hasn't happened once since Quenella became an Administrator. In order to prevent humans from expanding their living areas, the woman has placed objects around the world to obstruct her...... And one of them, a giant tree with a helpless priority and durability that can absorb the space resources of a vast area, was cut down by two young people. ”

“…… How do I feel like I've heard this somewhere......"

The old man quickly sent the demon placed in the northern area of Nolan Gors, the same Shamille as mentioned earlier, to take action, searching for the two young men. As they were about to leave the village, they were finally found. After having Charmilles stick to the head of one of the grinning-looking guys, I began to wonder how these two men could do such a thing as chopping down something that should be indestructible......"

Although Lin Yiyan wanted to refute the statement of the "big grinning guy", but after thinking about it, Lin Yiyan really never realized that Charmilles was hiding on his head in the past two years, so he could only be speechless, urging Cardinal to talk down with a straight face.

"The immediate reason is easy to see at a glance. The sword in the hand of the flaxen-haired young man was an artifact with a rank that was extremely rare in this world. Although it has been killed a long time ago, this is one of the weapons that can only be awarded to the brave who has been approved by the guardian dragon. However, once this is known, new questions arise. Why do two people at such a young age have such a high level of item control authority? These mysteries made the old body feel the excitement that he had not felt for a long time, and he listened to the conversation between the two people day and night—although most of them were stupid things that were not worth hearing......"

"I'm so sorry......"

"Hey, shut your mouth and listen. - Finally, at the boarding house on the way to Yangdu, the old body finally understood the reason from the conversation between the two. Amazingly, according to the two men, they were able to repel a massive advance reconnaissance force sent by the Dark Territory on their own. If this is true, then the huge number of authority rise points that should have been allocated to dozens of people has been monopolized by the two of them. That's why they were given enough permission to equip artifacts in an instant. Correspondingly, the old body is plagued by a new question - how can a young man from a border village that doesn't even have a guard team be able to repel the goblin warriors of the Dark Territory, which has overwhelming combat power? ”

"In other words, ninety percent of it is because of good luck." Lin Yiyan couldn't help but interject again. I thought Cardinal would drink again, but she closed her mouth as if she was thoughtful and nodded slowly.

"Hmm...... That's really a result of luck. However, for another question, the old body has been thinking about it in his heart for a long time and has not dissipated it. Brunette guy ...... In other words, why are you, Yi Yan, always being warned by your peers to pay attention to their words and deeds? However, in the end, when he saw you feeding human food to unfed beasts, that is, stray dogs, the impact felt by the old body was tantamount to five thunderbolts, and at the same time, he finally realized that you were actually a person who was not bound by the taboo catalog. ”

“…… Is that kind of thing so exaggerated? ”

"It is no exaggeration to say that if you had been seen by others, you would have been caught in the church. From then on, the old man began to carefully analyze your words and deeds through the eyes of Charmilles. After the two of you arrived in Yangdu and entered the gate of the Sword Cultivation Academy in Northern Santoria, they also continued to stay. After a year of observation from the beginning, the old body finally came up with the only possible answer. In other words, you are not a soul born in this world, enclosed in a Light-Cube, but an outside—that is, the one who created the world in which the god Russ exists. ”

"—I'm going to let you down. Although I am the manager of Russ, the world is like a piece of iron, and I ended up trapping myself in it! Dinal just smiled and shook the tip of his right index finger.

"This kind of thing is known to the old man from the beginning. If you have more system privileges than the Administrator, how can you be so badly wounded and obsessed with taking down the goblin with your sword? The old body does not know why you are placed in this world in such a state. I am afraid that this is for the purpose of collecting data under the condition that restricts knowledge and rights. ”

“…… Ah, indeed. Lin Yiyan was indeed a little crying and laughing in his heart, Lin Yiyan had considered those god-level accounts at the beginning, but Nima's god-level accounts were useless except for a little level power. It's not even as good as the administrator in the background, if it weren't for the complete Fluct Light inside, Kayaba Akihiko and the others would be planning to reset this world!

It's a pity.,Reset the world.,Everything has to start over.,Plus some special reasons.,It's estimated that even if it's reset, it's going to go down the same road.,This is the conclusion that Rinko Kamidai came to it.,In the end,A few people discussed.,Give up this plan.,There should be a sneak in.。

This is the reason why Lin Yiyan took the initiative to come to this world!

"But, even so, you are the greatest hope imaginable by the old body. Because, by itself, your very existence has broken down another major obstacle in the battle with the Administrator, as mentioned earlier. ”

"What exactly is that so-called obstacle?"

The execution of "The Secret Art of Synthesis" requires the chanting of lengthy commands and a huge number of parameter adjustments. Including the preparation phase, it takes about three days in total. The sudden switch of topics made Lin Yiyan completely overwhelmed, but Cardinal continued to talk as if he didn't care at all.

In other words, in normal combat, there is no need to consider directly interfering with the Light-Cube's divine arts. In other words, there is no soul replacement in the battle, and the whole person is brainwashed into the danger of integrating the knights. But what if the Administrator wasn't going to take the old man's chosen warrior under his command, but simply wanted to wipe out his soul......? In that case, there will be no need to adjust the parameters carefully, and the command will be extremely concise, perhaps to the extent that it can be chanted while the enemy is fighting the escort. If it is an attack on the Mandate of Heaven, you can use equipment and divine magic to fight it here. However, if you attack Fluct Light directly, it is impossible to defend against it. Considering this possibility, the old body fell into a long period of hard meditation. ”

“…… Attack on the Soul...... It's really damn bad......"

"Hmm. No matter how good a warrior is, if his memory is fragmented and messed up, he will never be able to fight....... Therefore, Yi Yan, the only one who can resist this attack is you. Even the Administrator can't do anything about the external artifact STL that allows your soul to move within the underorld, as there are no commands. Then you will understand why the old body has been waiting for your arrival, and why the old body has done everything he can to set up as many back doors as possible in order to win the unification conference in you...... Or they were taken to the Congregational Church as sinners for violating the taboo catalogue and brought to this large library before being escorted to the interrogation table. The tracing of his long past finally came to an end, and Cardinal's face flushed with excitement and took a deep breath.

“…… That's what it's like...... "However, according to the assertion of the girl in front of him who has spent an incomparably long time, is it really the inevitable result of being guided out of being here-at least Lin Yiyan himself doesn't want to think about it. Finally, Lin Yiyan asked, "Cardinal...... You said that your soul is a copy of Quineira, right? ”

"Well, exactly."

"In that case, you should have pure noble blood in you. In other words, it is the genetic gene of pursuing only one's own interests and desires...... Why didn't you leave everything behind and flee here? Escape to a remote village on the border that the Administrator can't track, fall in love, get married, have children, and grow old and die like an ordinary girl—you should be able to do that. And, isn't that exactly what you've always wanted? Your bloodline should be commanding you to obey this desire...... For 200 years, it should have been so. Why, then, do you not hesitate to disobey this order and spend two hundred years alone in such a place? ”

"What a silly boy...... Cardinal chuckled softly, "I said that before." For the old body that has been implanted with the purpose of existence of the Cardinal subprogram, "eliminating the Administrator and returning the world to normal" is all the interests and all the wishes of the old body. However, in the old body's view, there is no other way to restore the world to 'normal' than to return it all to nothingness. That's why the old body ......."

Cardinal's words stopped at this point. Lin Yiyan raised her head and looked at the eyes behind her glasses. The pale brown pupils, which were slightly wide, flickered as if they were suppressing some kind of intense emotion. Finally, Cardinal's lips quirmed, and a few inaudible sounds came out of them.

“…… No...... Not so...... Even if it's an old body...... Even if you are old, you have desires, and there is only one desire...... In these two hundred years, there are things that I want to know no matter what......" Cardinal's eyes closed tightly, then opened them again, staring straight at Lin Yiyan, his teeth biting his lip tightly, and his hands were also clenched together, as if he was hesitating something very rarely, and suddenly slipped off the chair.

"Hey, Yi Yan, you also stand up."

"Huh......?" Dinal spun around and looked up at Lin Yiyan, who was tilting his head sideways. Lin Yiyan's figure is not very tall, but even so, compared to Cardinal, whose appearance is no different from that of a ten-year-old girl, it is still a lot taller.

As if aware of this, Cardinal frowned, looked around, and then stepped on the chair he was sitting on with his right foot, and then the whole person stood up, and turned around as soon as he stood still, confirming that his gaze was at the same height as Lin Yiyan, and nodded with satisfaction.

"That's fine. Hey, Yi Yan, come over here. ”

“……？” Confused, he took a few steps forward and stood in front of Cardinal.

"A little further."

"Huh?"

"Don't talk nonsense." Lin Yiyan wondered what the other party was going to do, and moved forward cautiously. When he heard the other party say, "That's fine", Dinal glanced at Lin Yiyan, who was covered in cold sweat, and immediately turned his gaze sideways and gave a new order.

"Spread your hands out."

“…… Is it like this? ”

"Stretch forward, circle into a circle."

"......" If she really did what she said, she might have been beaten by the heavy cane for touching her body in the middle - worried about this, Lin Yiyan's hands moved extremely carefully, bypassing Cardinal's body, and only closing his left and right hands into one far away from her back.

Then, after a few seconds of silence on both sides, Cardinal finally couldn't hold back and slurped, "Well, what a guy who likes to go around the bend. ”

You are, right-when Lin Yiyan wanted to complain like this.

Cardinal's arms, stretched out from the robe, also wrapped around Lin Yiyan's back, and the force exerted by both hands passed through the fabric of the shirt to Lin Yiyan's body. The huge hat hit Lin Yiyan's forehead and landed on the table, and the chestnut curls gently brushed Lin Yiyan's left side of his face. From the shoulders and chest, which overlapped with each other, there was a faint sense of weight and warmth.
