Chapter 493 God's Power and Engagement Ring

"So, in order to have a legitimate reason to mobilize the Axis Cult to deal with Eight Fingers, you and Her Highness Lana are engaged?"

"Yes. It should be said that we are engaged, but with Her Highness's intelligence and talent, there is no problem with this."

"Is that so? It's really hard for you."

Gazef sighed.

Not everyone is willing to marry Her Highness, even Lana, who is called the Golden Princess and has impeccable wisdom and appearance.

Although the two are very suitable in terms of status and other aspects, once it involves a political marriage, it seems very tragic.

Not to mention that Lin has someone he likes.

"You want to talk about Lagis? I like her. I have liked her since I was a child."

Long ago - before Lord Rebuen decided to marry the Ain family, Lagis and Lin were rumored to have an unusual relationship, but later due to many reasons such as Lord Rebuen's lack of ambition and the royal family's obstruction, the marriage between the two families was cancelled.

"Then..."

"It's a fake engagement. This marriage will only last until the turmoil in the kingdom ends, and it may even be cancelled after the Eight Fingers are eliminated, so there's nothing to worry about. Then I can get engaged to Lagis."

No, no, no, I can't worry about it.

Even if I know it's fake, how can I cancel the engagement?

If Lin cancels the engagement, it will be a disrespect to the royal family and will damage the royal family's reputation. If Lana cancels the engagement, it will stimulate the nobles, which may cause a greater backlash.

Gazef knows that he is not a smart man, but his intuition is far beyond ordinary people. He always feels that there is something else behind the engagement, and it is possible that Her Highness Lana has never thought of canceling it.

"So, why did you tell me such an important thing? You don't want me to whisper in the king's ear, do you? I think it would be better to let Lana do this task."

"No, that's not the reason."

Lin said under his puzzled expression: "We decided to eliminate the Eight Fingers and their hidden base in the capital tomorrow at the latest, but they were disturbed for some reason. After all, they are some powerful villains, so..."

"So just in case, do you want me to take action? The reason for not asking others for help, I guess it's probably because you are afraid that there is a traitor."

"You are very smart, Gazef."

"Don't laugh at me, this is something everyone knows."

The kingdom is now in tatters. It's not that it has been infiltrated like a sieve, but the current situation is that everyone looks like a werewolf and it can't be confirmed, so I have to ask him for help.

Gazef asked back, "Why me? Aren't you afraid that I am also one of the Eight Fingers?"

"If you are one of them, then the kingdom should be destroyed as soon as possible." Lin said sincerely, "The most important thing is that I believe in you. So, I, the princess, the kingdom, and the civilians of the kingdom all need your help."

"...I know, I will help."

"Thank you."

"But I have one condition."

"What?"

"Take him with you."

Gazef pointed to the other side, where Brian was lying on the ground with Climb.

"I couldn't ask for more."

Although Brian looked depressed, he had a strong fighting power and could easily deal with the Eight Fingers.

"——Hmm."

Climb, who was awakened by the conversation in his ear, felt dizzy and covered his head and slowly opened his eyes.

"Oh, you finally woke up, Clem." Lin said to the boy who was trying to get up, "You are mentally damaged now. Don't worry, I have used healing magic. Just rest for a while."

"Thank you, Master Lin."

Clem finally failed to stand up, but sat on the floor, and began to think about everything that had just happened.

Breaking through the limit and moving to a higher level gave him the illusion of a new life.

"So do you understand, Clem? Whether for yourself or for others, the courage to swing a sword against the strong is very important."

"...Yes, thank you for your teaching, Master Lin!"

The boy bowed his head deeply.

Coincidentally, he saw Brian who was sleeping like a baby next to him.

"Huh? Master Anglaus? He..."

"He fainted under the pressure just like you."

"You're kidding?"

Clem swallowed.

I was unable to withstand the erosion of the murderous aura and fought back desperately, but I fainted. The reason was that I was suppressed because I was far inferior to Lin in strength. But Brian was a strong man with the same strength as Gazef, but he was suppressed to the point of fainting?

In this case, how strong must Lin be? Could he be like the heroes in fairy tales, is he...

"No, no, misunderstanding, misunderstanding."

Lin waved his hand, indicating that he was overthinking.

"I am not strong myself, but I used the faith power gathered by the believers to exert pressure. It is called faith power, but in fact it is divine power. Because of the different status, I am a god in your eyes, and then it turns into anger, which is the anger of the gods... Uh, it seems you don't understand."

Originally, the priest was quite enthusiastic to tell them about his use of faith power, but seeing their idiotic scratching heads and puzzled expressions, he knew that he was talking to a cow.

"In short, I used other methods to arouse the fear in your heart, and then let you face the fear directly."

"I see, I understand."

Climb and Gazef looked disgusted, saying, "If you had said that earlier, I would have understood." Lin could not help but clench his fists. Why not talk to Lana later? The wise princess will surely understand what he said.

Speaking of Lana, judging by the time, his brother, Marquis Rebun, should have finished meeting with her.

"Okay, let's go and take a look."

"Where to go?"

"To see the princess. After all, we need to tell her about Gazef and you and Brian."

Then Lin slapped Brian several times, waking him up quickly from his baby-like sleep. Brian, who was also stimulated, broke through his limits like Climb after facing his fear. The swordsman who was originally sharp now became calm, but the brilliance that flashed from time to time in his eyes told that he was not simple.

Helplessly, he shouted to Brian, who was half-kneeling on the ground, "Okay, stop posing and show off, and hurry up."

"I'm coming."

The four ran towards the palace.

The road was smooth. This was natural. After all, the Kingdom Warrior Captain, the second son of the Rebuen family, and the guards of Her Royal Highness the Princess were all together. Even with the stranger Brian, no one would deliberately make things uncomfortable.

Under Clem's leadership, they soon arrived at a corner of the palace.

Just as they were about to knock on the door——

"Princess Lana, I'll take my leave first."

"See you later."

It was Marquis Rebuen and the second prince, but the former was in a bad mood and spoke a little aggressively, and it took a lot of effort to open the door.

Then they saw the four people outside the door.

Clem quickly stepped aside and stood in the corridor, straightening his back and saluting with his hand on his chest.

Lin covered his chest with his hand and bowed his head slightly.

Gazef nodded slightly, while Brian had an indifferent expression.

"You..."

Marquis Rebuen couldn't control his emotions and glared at Lin after seeing him, saying, "Lin, I'll wait for you at the family dinner tonight."

Then he left angrily without caring about the etiquette of the nobles.

Oh, did I really make my brother angry?

How could he not be angry when his beloved family member was engaged to someone else without his approval, and the one he wanted to marry was the unacceptable monster princess?

The second prince followed closely, but his expression was much better. He even patted Lin on the shoulder, trying to show sympathy but couldn't make an awkward smile.

The fact that this person sympathized with her was enough to show how unwelcome the princess was.

Clem clenched his fists tightly. Even though his cherished master was insulted, he could do nothing because of the other party's identity, which made him feel his own strength.

At this time, a voice came from the door.

"Clem? And Lord Lin, Lord Stroronov, and this unknown lord, please come in."

Lana greeted them.

The four walked in quickly, and Clem, who was the first to go, stayed at the end and closed the door.

The teacups in the living room were removed, and five cups were placed on the round table.

This princess entertained guests she didn't like in the living room, and entertained guests she liked at the more relaxing round table.

The four of them sat down.

The round table was a little small and seemed a little crowded.

The thermos was filled with rich and fragrant milk tea and placed in front of them one by one.

After everything was over.

"How was the result?"

"Well, it went better than expected."

Lana smiled happily.

I don't know whether she was happy because the plan went smoothly or because she was happy because she used her wisdom to play with the kingdom's think tank.

"I didn't expect that Lord Lei Buen's reaction was so big. I was a little scared."

"Of course, after all, my brother loves his son very much."

"No, Lord Lei Buen's reaction was much more intense than his son's when he heard about the engagement with Lord Lin."

"...Is that so."

Lin was silent.

His brother cared about him very much and did not treat him differently because he married and had children. He even made up for the lack of family affection before, as if he was atonement, which made him a little... no, very moved.

"Eh? Wait a minute, you said that my brother reacted strongly to my affairs, then..."

"It doesn't matter, it's still you and me, Lord Lin."

Seeing the doubts of the priest who was about to become her fiancé, Lana explained: "It was my brother. Thanks to his persuasion, it was successfully accomplished."

Lin understood it after a little thought.

I am the second son of the Rebuen family, and Rebuen is loyal to the second prince. If Lin marries Lana, it means that the golden princess will be used by him, and the Akusis Church will naturally become his helper, and the throne will be within his grasp.

"You are making a lot of calculations."

"Yes. But it's useless. Brother will eventually become a clown."

Lana turned her head and looked down at the balcony. The second prince was leaving the palace with Rebuen. She smiled and greeted him, but the corners of her eyes were not hiding laughter, but ridicule.

It was indeed as the second prince thought. If Lin married Lana, the throne would be within his grasp, but the premise was that Rebuen was also loyal to him.

"I feel like I've been involved in something serious, Gazef."

"I agree."

Brian crossed his legs inappropriately, and Gazef nodded in agreement.

"But you two won't tell anyone, right?" Lana smiled at the two of them, "Master Gazef is also loyal to the royal family, so there's no problem."

"Yes, of course."

The King was kind to him, so the warrior captain who loves the kingdom will naturally not betray him.

It's just that Gazef had a slight change in his view of Lord Rebun. He didn't expect that the opponent's tactics would be so tough. He was not a bat at all, but a three-colored ape!

"Then it's time to talk about things here."

Lana brought the topic back.

"First of all, Lord Stronov, do you know the intention of asking you to come?"

"Ah, Lin and I have talked a lot, but if possible, could you please speak more clearly, Your Highness Lana?"

"Of course, then-"

Lana told them all the plan, what Gazef needed to do, and some details.

When she heard that Brian's strength was similar to Gazef's and that he planned to join, Lana welcomed him warmly.

Among the five experts who participated in this mission, apart from Blue Rose, the only ones were Lin and Gazef. It would be a big help if Brian was added to the list.

"The above is the mission plan."

"I know, I will come when the time comes."

Gazef simply nodded in agreement.

After the conversation was over, the four of them still had tasks to attend to, so they stood up and left without wasting much time.

"By the way, I forgot."

Lin took out a palm-sized square box from his arms and handed it to Lana.

"Please accept it, Your Highness Princess."

"This is?"

Lana slowly opened the box, and inside was a diamond ring. The diamond, the size of a small fingernail, shines with a dazzling sky blue in the sun. Just one glance can make people fall in love with it. Even a layman knows that it must be priceless.

Brian and Gazef raised their eyebrows after seeing the ring. Of course, the two grown men had little knowledge of jewelry, but they had a clear understanding of the pure magic power contained in the ring, and there seemed to be some magic engraved on it.

Lana was also a little surprised when she saw the ring.

"Could this be an engagement ring?"

"No, it just happens to be a ring. After all, not any carrier can successfully imprint a magic array."

This is true.

The only ones that can withstand magic are metals like mithril, or even rarer magic diamonds.

The value of this ring itself has already been increased by the rare metal. If it is engraved with magic...

"By the way, it is engraved with the sixth level magic - Great Healing."

"...What?!" X2

Brian and Clem couldn't help but exclaim.

Needless to say, the effect of Great Healing is a super magic that can restore factory settings even with just one breath, and it is engraved in a small ring.

There is no doubt that this is a secret treasure level magic item! If others find out, it might lead to a fight! For example, if Brian hadn't suffered a blow yet, he would definitely grab it by any means necessary.

"Her Royal Highness is my most important companion. Of course I can't trust Climb, but this ring can also protect me from outsiders, right?"

"Thank you, Mr. Lin, I will take it with me."

"Okay. Let's take our leave now."

Seeing Lana put away the ring with a solemn expression, Lin nodded with satisfaction and left with Gazef and the others. In order to completely eradicate the eight fingers, they still have a lot of work to do.

Lana was left alone in the room.

"A ring...a ring? No doubt, it's an engagement ring. Great healing, the same magic as Lax. Hahaha...so happy."

After playing with it, he put the ring on the middle finger of his left hand, covered his flushed cheeks with both hands, and smiled horribly.
