Chapter 226: The So-Called "Control of Destiny"
The girl's call attracted the attention of many people, street vendors, passers-by, and stunned coachmen.
But the only thing that didn't make the carriage notice her.
Far from stagnating with her words, the speed of the carriage increased a little, and it happened to be not far from the junction of the town, and before the blink of an eye, it left the town.
Damn it.
Corina immediately drove her horse after her, and at the same time felt a little annoyed in her heart, and secretly scolded herself for not being so excited to startle the snake.
With a muttering thought to herself, she urged the horses to speed up again, her eyes fixed on the carriage.
"It's her, it must be her!"
Although her appearance had changed, even if the jewel she had hidden on her chest as a pendant, the exposed parts could still make Corina feel familiar, and it was this familiarity that made her instantly recognize that it belonged to "Alyssa's" neck.
"Stop!!"
She chased anxiously, whipping the horses again to speed up to the carriage.
Under normal circumstances, a solo horse must be faster than a carriage, but the other horse's horse does not seem to be an ordinary horse, and Corina tries her best to chase it, but can only barely keep her distance from being pulled away.
"Bastard!!"
Corina gritted her teeth.
She clenched her sword again, her magic flowing, and threw it with all her might.
She was aiming at the wheels of the carriage.
As a knight, she has been trained to throw weapons such as spears or swords, and she is definitely not bad at accuracy, but she does not succeed in hitting.
"Qiangβ"
The crisp clash of gold and iron erupted over the quiet path, and her sword was blocked by a force that came out of nowhere, bouncing back into her hand precisely along the same path.
At this point, Corina was completely furious.
"Bastard! If you are going to pass by me, why don't you come down to me!! β
"Da-"
Perhaps it was the effect of the angry shouting, and the speed of the carriage gradually slowed down, and after a brief slowdown, it came to a complete stop.
[Mr. Hodessos'] face appeared in the carriage window, the corners of his lips curled slightly, and he smiled lightly: "Why do you say that? β
"Why? Scold. Corina was also laughing, but no one could tell that she was not happy, "If you can arrange me in your calculations, not a single step, how can you show such a shoddy flaw?" β
"Okay." Lynn shrugged, "I just wanted to make sure....... If you leave, it means that the goal has been achieved, and we can naturally leave with confidence. β
"........," Corina frowned slightly, "your purpose is not to want him to raise an army?" β
"Who knows." Lynn continues to be the Riddler.
Corina took a deep breath, trying not to let her sanity be affected by emotions.
After a brief exchange, she realized that Lynn probably wouldn't have elaborated on any question like "Who are you?" about them.
So, she changed the question.
"Did it start with that little girl?"
Lynn propped her head, shook her head, and made a note along the way.
"Until then, we've spent seven days catching your tracks, hiring eyeliner at every street intersection, and in the last three days of the seven days, the 'little girl' you've seen has already been to the dessert shop three times."
"The other little girl is a little actor we invited, but the protagonist is not her."
"It's the ....... Father. Corina suddenly remembered that the girl had only briefly mentioned the "bard", and the man had made his decision unconsciously, on the grounds that it was necessary to leave a memory.
However, Lynn once again dismissed her idea.
"No, even if it's that 'father', it's just a supporting role." He smiled and groaned, "The real protagonist is that doll." β
"Doll?"
Corina finally realized something.
It is said to be a doll, but the real thing should be the "grass that is hidden" inside.
This is a very common herb that works with a little incense to relax the mind.
For her, who was in a not very good mood at the time, the herbs in this doll dispelled the gloom in her heart and made her relax for a while.
And at the moment of relaxation, the moment when her brain went blank, the man implanted an idea for her in time.
"Let's go see the bard's show!"
Corina was silent.
This one-by-one plan made her unable to even say the words of shock, and even if she wanted to call herself stupid, she would be insulting the wisdom of the other party.
Because these events are actually very small, very inconspicuous little things, so small that they don't think that they will harm themselves at all, and when they are completely connected, even if they have been discovered, it will not help.
At that time, I was already deeply trapped in it, and the people who were trapped in the mire wanted to break free without the help of others, except for falling deeper and deeper, there was no other ending.
"Actually, that story is also for me, isn't it?" She asked.
"Nature." Lynn smiled and groaned, "The purpose is to make you interested in me a little when I meet you later...... Not too much, just a little. β
It turns out that the knight is just a lie.
Corina felt a little dizzy in her brain and could barely hold the reins, but she still wanted to hold on and listen to the truth.
For example.......
"That rotten short-lived ghost, you also arranged it?"
"No, no, no, you're looking too highly of us." Lynn waved his hand, "It's very difficult to find the monsters and monsters and bring them here, I have to admit, we can't do it." β
"We have very few sources of information, unlike the Marquis, who is the master of this area, and it takes less than half a fraction of the time to find the right monsters, which is not in line with our needs."
"Speaking of which, it's all thanks to you."
"After all, our plan is actually very long, and it will not really unfold until after the so-called 'dinner party', and it is up to your luck that we can weaken his power to this point in such a short period of time......."
Corina suddenly interrupted him: "In other words, the matter about the monster is actually just your sudden plan, and it has not been arranged in advance before. β
"So, have you ever considered the consequences of a failed plan?"
"The consequences?"
"For example, the soldiers at the outpost didn't succeed in stopping the rotten short-lived ghost and let him run into town."
"Tsk."
Lynn smiled.
In previous contacts, he did find that the girl has a certain sense of justice, although I don't know how many, but there are indeed some of them, like a plan that has no scruples and may even hurt a large number of people, and will definitely be disgusted and rejected by her.
Lynn doesn't usually make any judgments about other people's ideas, but since the girl blames him, he naturally won't swallow his anger.
In response to Corina's words, Lynn only said: "If he starts a rebellion, then the people under his command will become a resource for his blood, and then they will be our enemies, including those who died because of the curse." β
"I'm sorry, but I don't feel sympathy for the enemy."
Corina looked at Lynn in disbelief.
This is a fallacy, an absolute fallacy, because its preconditions are not established at all, and the people are still the people of the king.
But she could not refute this fallacy.
Because it really could be a reality.
If you look at it this way, Lynn's words even have some truth.
"No, you can't be influenced by him."
Corina already knew that the guy in front of her was very good at controlling people's mentality, thus affecting the judgment of the person being controlled.
He must not fall into the trap he constructed again.
This is wrong! Absolutely wrong!
She kept repeating the thought in her mind, not letting herself be influenced by Lynn's fallacy.
After a moment, she calmed her breath and shook her head.
"Who's your next target?"
"Oh?" Lynn squinted slightly and chuckled, "It seems that you have already guessed it." β
"Huh." Corina sneered and said, "You don't admit it, but your actions show that our purpose should be the same, otherwise your reason for approaching me will be completely untenable." β
"You are the king's man." She said with great conviction.
The outside world, the people of other countries, and even some nobles, are eager for Laiyin to become chaotic and give them a chance, and only the ruler of this country does not want the land under his feet to fall apart.
And, most importantly, these people obviously know her and know her identity, otherwise they wouldn't use themselves as the starting point of the chessboard.
Under all these factors, she will make an absolutely certain judgment.
And after making a judgment, a guess suddenly appeared in her heart that made her feel even more unbelievable.
Subordinate to the king, unscrupulous and decisive....... Combined, these labels do, it seems, have a very good fit.
However, as far as she knew, the mission carried out by that family was led by Count Blazer, and now this young man, there is no trace of old age on his body, which does not seem to be in line with conjecture?
- Blazer, it's not like there's no heir.
She thought again of the rising star who had lost news since leaving the academy.
Knowing her well, having a cold personality and being tough, and disdainful of people other than herself....... some of the traits that [Mr. Hodessos] showed seemed to fit perfectly.
"You....... You ........"
"Tsk, I guessed it." Lynn shifted her position and propped her head, looked at the girl's unpredictable expression, and said with a smile, "So, why catch up, isn't it good to pass by like 'we' met for the first time, so that you can have even better illusions about [Mr. Hodessos]." β
"You ........"
Corina couldn't say a word.
In fact, she caught up, in addition to wanting to pursue the truth, she also had a slight idea of including the other party under her command - she knew that there was little hope, but she still wanted to try.
Even, even after he said that the end of the encounter was a lie, she still had a little illusion.
There are so many advantages in him, and the light that blooms is as bright as a star, and people can't help but want to reach out and hold it.
But when the other party showed her identity in front of her, she was like being choked by the neck, and it was difficult to breathe, and at the same time, she deeply felt how ridiculous and innocent she was.
Taking a deep breath, Corina raised her eyes slightly, stared into Lynn's eyes, and stared for a full few minutes before letting go.
Then, turn around and leave.
Lynn's expression was still leisurely, and there was no intention of holding it.
At this moment, Six suddenly spoke.
"Young Master." She was puzzled and asked, "Why do you want to reveal your identity, it seems ......."
Lynn smiled and didn't answer, but only said, "Although she asked so much, it seems that she has asked everything, but she still forgets one thing. β
"Regret, what is regret, she seems to have forgotten to ask."
Six looked at him in surprise: "What would you say?" β
"No, it won't."
β.......β
"Don't look at me like that." Lynn waved her hand, "After all, that's something that hasn't happened yet, and I can't predict it." β
"Not yet....... Happen? β
Lynn smiled and said, "Remember when I told you that we need to control her future?" β
"When these things are over, I will inevitably return to Catalena and participate in the fight, and then we will definitely be targeted."

"We can't avoid being attacked by a crowd, but we can't let everyone come, so we need to find the most conspicuous and prominent person as our biggest enemy."
"This enemy will be forcefully directed against us in all kinds of places where we exist, and it is like a thorn in the flesh for our existence, and we are eager to get rid of it as soon as possible."
"Under her edge, the rest of the people will either take a break for the time being because of this huge bird, and let them do their part; Or strengthen the original and cling to them. β
"In this way, they will be condensed into a strand of countless threads, and it is much easier to deal with a strand of thread than to tear out the threads that are messed up into a ball."
He narrowed his eyes: "After all, Christine, it's not without opponents. β
"......." Listening to Lynn's tirade, Six's eyes widened, "Master, are you so sure she can control Christine?" I don't think she's good! And if she can really get up, then it's probably not a very easy opponent to deal with!! β
"I don't know if I can control it, so ah, we'll have to help her, right?" Lynn smiled and said, "She's not perfect, she's not too talented, and if she wants to succeed, she probably needs the help of a lot of people." β
"And as long as there are people, there will be no less problems, even ......."
Lynn smiled even brighter.
"You say, if she collapses and falls again because of human affairs after she succeeds, and then finds out that the initiator is still me, do you say, will she regret it?"
"......." Six looked at him like a monster.
"Alright." Lynn waved his hand, "It's just a conjecture, whether it can be made is more likely to be a question." β
"In fact, the reason for lifting her up is because she has very obvious shortcomings."
"For example, the so-called sense of justice, and the indecision that often appears, to get rid of these innate personalities, is not something that ordinary people can do β at least in my opinion, she can't."
"And people with weaknesses are often easier to defeat."
"Even if we don't 'help' her succeed, we still have a way to defeat her."
Lynn squinted in the direction the girl had gone.
"This is the so-called 'controlling the destiny of the future'!"
