Stop Hypnotizing Me, Antagonist Princess!

Chapter 350: Chapter 219: How Great Would It Be If He Were My Subordinate?_2
 

Or perhaps, after the brief exchange, she already had an answer in her heart regarding whether Lynn was truly a limb connector.

It wasn’t that she believed the young man so easily; it was merely because she understood all too well the dark methods of those noble vermin.

After clarifying this in her mind, she decided to follow the decision of her heart.

“Speak,” Hillena’s arch of the foot tensed slightly, her beautiful curve gently swaying the cotton slippers on her petite foot, “what exactly is the content of that trade you’re proposing?”

Seeing the other party finally showing a trace of interest, Lynn felt a great weight lifted from his heart and heaved a long sigh of relief.

The progress of the matter to this step indicated a great likelihood of success.

“To show my sincerity, I’ll start with what I can offer you in return.” Lynn sat up straight and began with a serious voice, “I am well aware of the urgent matter you face, which is none other than that mysterious tomb related to the Ancient God of the First Epoch.”

Ancient God?!

The word struck Hillena so forcefully that she almost stood up from her seat.

The relation between the Mausoleum and the First Epoch was intelligence bought at the price of countless sacrifices by the Grave Digger Team.

She thought she had paid enough attention, but now, the words spoken by the young man had plunged her into a state of shock.

One must know that during the dark and chaotic First Epoch, many were called divine.

Even many beings, who today are only of the Sixth or Seventh Rank, could be anointed with the title “god” when the Extraordinary System was not clearly defined.

Yet, those truly called “Ancient Gods” were rare to see.

Only in the fragments passed down from ancient times can one vaguely glimpse a scene so mad and indescribable.

If this tomb really involved an “Ancient God,” then the degree of danger of the entire matter undoubtedly climbed several levels.

Hillena frowned deeply and scrutinized the young man before her.

Was he exaggerating to inflate his own value, to make it easier to ask for a return from her later?

After all, how did this down-and-out heir of a noble house come to know such information?

An inheritor from a noble family in shambles could not possibly have any connection to the First Epoch.

“This is impossible.” After coming back to her senses from the shock, Hillena took a deep breath, “Judging by the Transcendent factor within the mausoleum, the being buried inside is at most of the Seventh Rank, and even if we take the passage of time into account…”

“During that incident in Orn City, no one thought that we would be facing a level 0 Sealed Object related to a High-dimensional Demon.”

With just one sentence, Lynn countered her response.

Seeing her expression still doubtful, the young man sighed softly: “Moreover, before the Sealed Object’s rampage was dealt with, no one believed I could survive the hands of two Great Demons.”

This declaration eliminated any desire the other party had to argue.

Indeed.

In a world as absurd as this, what could truly be said to be impossible?

The atmosphere fell into silence for a moment.

After a while, Hillena faintly opened her lips: “Regardless, what you’re saying is without evidence. I have no reason to believe you, nor can I easily risk the lives of my subordinates on such dubious intelligence, you…”

“After this event concludes, I will personally accompany you into the tomb, until it is thoroughly conquered.”

Lynn interrupted her again, with a tone that brooked no argument, word by word.

Hillena was stunned in place.

She had not expected the young man before her to possess such courage.

How dangerous the Helius Mausoleum was, anyone slightly aware of the inside story was very clear.

If it hadn’t been Saint Laurent VI’s order, she would not have bothered with the excavation of this ancient site that may potentially bring disaster to the Empire.

At the same time, her heart began to somewhat believe the information Lynn mentioned.

“But there is one thing; I hope we can come to an agreement on.”

Just then, Lynn’s tone shifted.

Hillena spoke, “Go on.”

“No matter what, do not involve my princess in this matter.”

Lynn stated conclusively as if it were an untouchable red line.

After all, the reason he initially posed as a limb connector was to quickly solve the case, in exchange for ensuring that Ivyst would not have to go to the Helius Mausoleum.

Hearing his words, Hillena paused for a few seconds before nodding, “I can agree to that.”

In fact, during their long-overdue sisterly night talk at the last ball, she had hinted several times about the dangers of the Helius Mausoleum.

Ultimately, she was somewhat sentimentally attached to her sister and did not want to see her endangered.

It was just that she never expected his loyalty to far exceed her imagination.

After all, with the Curse Mark on Ivyst’s face, to go to such lengths for her was worthy of sideways glances.

It’s a pity she is destined not to ascend the throne; all current efforts and attempts are futile.

With this thought in mind, Hillena discreetly gathered her wits.

She wasn’t particularly exhilarated by Lynn’s promise alone.

Having spoken of the return benefits, it was naturally time to discuss what she needed to pay.

Hillena looked at the young man with a scrutinizing gaze: “So, what do you want to obtain from me?”

Since it is a trade, it should naturally be of equivalent value.
