91. Transitioning
"Is that really what Lynn said?"
"I don't need to lie...... She asked me to reply to you like this, if Aisha has any ideas, please don't come at the innocent me. β
NONO said that he had already brought the message, and that he was just a messenger at best!
"Well, I'm just a little curious, what the hell did Lin think of on the heel......
"Won't you blame Lin for causing trouble?"
"Of course not. β
Aisha replied very bluntly, without thinking too much about it, and almost blurted it out. Her gesture of trust in Lin really made NONO a little jealous.
"Lin's character is not the kind of reckless child, since she put forward this proposal so confidently, it shows that she is at least eighty percent sure in her heart. Instead of worrying about the situation on Lynn's side, I should focus on my side...... But for that point, I'll have to adjust the time a bit. β
"Do you already know what Lynn is going to do?"
Looking at Aisha's posture, it was obvious that she had figured out Lin's specific plans, otherwise, she would never have made adjustments to the time so surely.
"Well, based on NONO's description, I've basically figured out what caused Rin to change her mind halfway. β
It sounds like it has something to do with the Skarsa of this era...... Aisha could easily think of Lyn's goal and go straight to the imperial capital. Although Aisha didn't know what Lin wanted to do with the "darkness" who was still sealed under the imperial capital, she trusted her. Aisha decided to "let Lynn be willful" for once.
Trust Lynn's instincts and consciousness.
"Well, let's not talk about Lin for now......" Aisha shifted her gaze. Fell on the two lumps of "goods" that NONO "consigned", "What's the matter with these two people?"
"This is after Nyoa woke up. I'll tell you myself, because I don't really know much about it. β
"Nia?"
"Well, what about this guy's current name - or the name I gave her~" NONO's ice cube face inadvertently showed a look of joy, "This is the first time someone is willing to use my name~"
β......β
You don't have a talent for making a name - of course, Aisha would never say that without regard to the atmosphere. The rare excited feelings of the machine girl, Aisha is also rarely seen.
"The other one. Is it the 'same kindred' she has always been obsessed with?"
Aisha looked at Serena, who was sleeping soundly, and instinctively felt an aura very similar to Nia's - but subtly different, not the same......
Her breath was inexplicably a little confused. Aisha leaned down and pressed the back of her hand to Serena's forehead, "...... Hmm, how could there be anyone else in her soul...... Is it Nia's?"
In this girl's kindred, Aisha found that her soul aura was very chaotic. Not only does it present a chaotic order, but it also contains a hint of Nya herself's soul...... Aisha frowned secretly, probing Serena and Nia more closely.
Soon, Aisha had some eyebrows.
β...... All right. Now, even if I don't want to, I'll have to spend more time changing my plans - hopefully after Lynn is done with her business. I'll be able to catch up. Strength, this girl, really added a lot of work to me......"
===============
Under the "dominance" of Skaza. The series of actions that follow are very, very "smooth" - well, it's hell if you don't go well. The whole is a large investigation team. From top to bottom, the contents of everyone's heads have been modified "slightly" by Skasa, and now they don't remember a lot of what happened in between, and according to Skasa's thoughts, they are putting a lot of enthusiasm into carrying out the task of their trip.
"I heard that there was a briefing to the imperial capital before, so you won't let people notice that something is wrong?"
Skasa was going to let these people get some inconsequential information casually, but use it to fool the little emperor of the current empire. According to her, the emperor of the empire is not a very reliable person, which can be seen from the fact that he deliberately launched a war against the elves...... So, Scazar will not tell the Emperor what happened here in detail.
"Don't worry, the person in charge of this aspect of the work has a good relationship with me - when the time comes, I will inform him, and he will naturally know what to do~"
has a good relationship in private, can it actually develop to help you, an old man, and deceive your superiors and subordinates?
Lin couldn't help but think of the Nazca City Lord who was also said to have a good personal relationship with Skasa in her own time - had he used this trick a long time ago?
Lin didn't believe it, this was just a "personal relationship".
This person obviously says that he is not greedy for power, but in fact, if the emperor of the empire knew about the actions in his hands, I am afraid that not many emperors would be able to let go of their hearts, right? If it weren't for the fact that Skarsa really didn't have the heart to replace him, he would have become the Shadow Emperor of the empire a long time ago.
But then again, the head of the spy department is not in his own hands, what is the current emperor thinking?
"Ah, I know you want to ask, why can I win the head of the intelligence department? It's very simple, the current idiot thinks that these systems and organizations that have been handed down from their ancestors in the past are not at ease. β
In addition to a look of disdain on the corner of Skassa's mouth, there was also a lot of helpless wry smile: "Probably because he thinks that he didn't create it by himself, and he can't be trusted, right? It's the real guy with bad intentions. Will there really be so many people who will kneel under his 'kingly aura'?"
"Ugh. What you mean - the current emperor does not need these people. Suspicious aside, the private force he himself is trying to assemble is the real dangerous careerist?"
Lin felt very unbelievable -- didn't this mean that this emperor did not trust his ancestors? By refusing to accept the existing intelligence organization and power, in a sense, he was denying the intelligence of his ancestors...... Besides, the intelligence department has never had much conflict with the alternation of imperial power, and it is reasonable to question the ability of the intelligence department. But question their loyalty......
"Generally speaking, these guys who are engaged in intelligence are very careful about their own positions, and they take sides casually, but they don't do it--now, I can get help from that side so easily, and you can roughly imagine what the treatment of those people is like now, right?"
"Well. Probably guessable. β
Lynn listened with interest to Skasa's narration, which was not recorded in the history books. History books don't write all of these things in one go, Lynn knows. It is nothing more than some information that can be "made public". And at this moment, listening to Skasa tell about the unknown secrets of this, Lin felt strange.
Say. Originally, she didn't know about the absurd behavior of the emperor of this generation. It turned out to be because of the conspiracy of the court mage to use the subordinate guide zhì, and those high-sounding "court mages". In fact, it turned out to be a group of infamous black magicians...... As for why this kind of big thing, which can't be concealed no matter how you look at it, will leave almost no trace in history, Lin knows, in fact, it should be because this is all in the dark and solved by Skassar, right?
After all, people have been silently guarding this empire for thousands of years behind their backs.
Now that Skasa took the initiative to throw an olive branch to herself, Lynn knew that she was actually mostly asking for herself, but why didn't Lynn take advantage of Skasa's intentions?
Both sides actually know that the other has some careful thoughts in their hearts, but at the moment, they don't need to care about these at all. Lin didn't say anything, for Skasa, a hundred years of life experience made her understand a truth - cooperation does not have to be based on knowing the roots.
He only needs to be sure that the other party is not a villain, and even if there will be some situations that are different from what he expected, Skarsa is also confident that he can control the situation in the palm of his hand.
...... If Skarsa knew what terrible thoughts were going through Lynn's little head right now, she probably wouldn't have been so optimistic.
Although under normal circumstances, most of the people who want to resurrect the demon king are evildoers, but in special cases, there will be exceptions - isn't there a certain Count Dracula who has been cheating the corpse for 10,000 years by his old enemy Belmont once? Although Simon's reason for resurrecting him is to kill him again to break the curse......
But if you don't know the key to it, Lynn's actions at that time will definitely make Skassar's whole person "scream".
"So the reason why you came to me is that you want to get rid of those court mages with my hand? Because of your identity, it's inconvenient for you to make a move, right?"
"That's right!"
β...... You know what? If it weren't for the fact that my goals overlap with yours, I would have been a brick in your face by now. Lin was very unhappy and tried to loosen her somewhat weak shoulders, "A good-natured collaborator like me, it's really a blessing that you can find it!"
"Aha...... I'm sorry, but if you want compensation then, just ask, we in the Mage Guild will try to accommodate your ideas......"
Skasa said awkwardly, only to be rewarded with a disgruntled snort from Lynn.
No one would be happy - he was shackled with a pair of iron shackles that only prisoners use, and even if he knew that this was to hide his identity and create an opportunity, Lin would like to beat up Scamsa who came up with this bad idea!
"Can't you do it another way? You have to pretend to be a prisoner......
"Because that's the easiest way to lower their guards. People who have ghosts in their hearts are generally very cautious, and if it weren't for this, I would have caught the opportunity to kill those goods. And, another reason...... Pretending to be a mysterious criminal from this place of right and wrong is not easy to put suspicion on the head of our association. You know that, too. My current image is completely different from the original, even if the situation here is more or less spread. That idiot, I wouldn't have thought of it. This woman is actually the old traitor he has been guarding against. β
Skassar altered the memories of all the soldiers present, except for deliberately obscuring the information about Nia and Serena, two anomalous deposits, Skasa divided half of the events in this place into the head of a fictitious "dangerous prisoner" - this is naturally up to Lin to play this role.
NONO and the others can be said to be conspirators of hostile countries with other scheming, and Lin can be said to be the one who was captured alive after the other party's conspiracy to subvert the empire was revealed.
And now, Skaza's "script" is to escort this dangerous prisoner back to the imperial capital for trial - for the sake of realism. Skasa also placed a special forbidden device for mages on Lynn's body. However, this was requested by Lin herself, because it was more in line with her identity.
If a supposedly dangerous prisoner does not have the means to take full precautions and imprison, he will definitely not be able to let those dark magicians who are guarding against it relax their guard.
Of course, this was all after Lin demonstrated to Skasa on the spot, and after completely breaking free from the confinement of this set of forbidden magic equipment within three seconds, Skasa dared to put it on Lin.
"By the way, will I be treated strangely?"
Lin took a look at the "burden" on her body. I can't help but think of some strange images - dungeons, prisons, interrogations, tortures...... Originally, it didn't have any special significance, but when the character who was imprisoned by these heavy pieces of iron was a weak-looking girl like herself, it was hard for Lin not to think about those bad places.
In all fairness. Seeing a girl bound by chains, handcuffs and other equipment, usually a man, will be a little enthusiastic, right?
Female prisoners. Because there are no human rights, there is such a label as "let it be done" - Lynn has no doubts. If you really fall into the situation of this script, you will most likely be treated quite cruelly......
"According to normal people...... Or what normal men think. Definitely. β
Lynn's identity at the moment is a young magician with an important secret, and Skarsa knows that those who covet the mysterious power revealed in this place will naturally not be able to simply throw Lin into prison and interrogate slowly according to the usual steps - it must be directly handed over to them for secret interrogation!
In a sense, it's much more dangerous than going to jail.
Prisoners who are thrown into prison are not treated very harshly in the first place - unless, from the outset, they are instructed to use the punishment. Otherwise, even those perverted jailers and cool officials would have to wait until the exact news that the prisoners were basically hopeless and had no worries before they dared to torture them.
And those court mages ...... Hehe, where do you expect a group of black magicians to be kind? As far as Skarsa knows, those jailers can't match the Naxi black magicians in the evil process.
If Lin is really a girl who has lost the ability to resist and can only accept the tragedy that is about to happen to her, what awaits her will naturally be extremely cruel...... Since they are some guys who are keen on fame and fortune, it's normal for them to have a demand for young girls, isn't it? But unlike ordinary people, these guys really "use" young girls as consumables.
Like the girl in front of you...... Skarsa had no doubt that such a beautiful and lovely girl would not attract those guys.
"Hmm...... Skasha, you say, is it true that a man is frightened when he is excited, as the legend says, and he will never lift it again?"
β......β
However, this girl is definitely not a weak person who can be left to the mercy of the mermaid. Skasa found out that the girl had already begun to figure out how to punish those who might be malicious to her. Thinking of this girl, pondering how to reverse at the "right" time and scare those people into men, Skarsa couldn't help but pray silently to those guys who usually do all kinds of bad things.
Mi You's shy girl in this kind of thing, I'm afraid, it won't be like her appearance, but a black-bellied girl with a very black hand.
Thinking of some of the abilities that the girl had shown before......
"You said that you can control the soul with a certain amount of Cheng dΓΉ, what kind of Cheng dΓΉ can this be?"
"Eh, that's not the same as you said, right? You said yourself that you wouldn't dig into my personal information......
"Well, it's true that I offended first--well, I can increase the pay as compensation, don't you think? I need to know the limits of your magic and abilities, because I have some ideas, and I definitely need to rely on your abilities. β
"Say it. β
Lynn couldn't help but be curious.
In the past, in her own time, the intersection between Lynn and Skassar was not very wide, and to be honest, she didn't know much about this person. And now, Lin feels as if she has turned on a switch similar to a side plot, is it okay to be able to hold on to this opportunity and get to know more about this interesting person?
β...... Please, don't show such a 'I'm curious' face!"
Scamsa couldn't help but feel a chill behind him: "It's business!
β...... I didn't say anything, why are you so excited?"
Sure enough, there's a problem, right? (To be continued......)
