I like crossing the most

Chapter 479: What happened to your virginity?
"Lin, Lana is my closest friend. If you dare to fool her... you know the result!"

Lagis stared at the priest in front of her.

The powerful sense of oppression unique to the fine steel adventurers who stepped into the realm of heroes made the four people sitting around the round table feel their hair stand on end. Even Lin felt a lot of pressure.

Could it be that he secretly used faith magic to interrogate me? No wonder he was called the Devil Captain. It seems that there is no wrong nickname, only the wrong name.

Gagran and Tina looked like they were on their own, while Climb had a serious expression on his face.

"Don't say that."

Lin Huan calmed down and took a sip of sweet milk tea. She said calmly as if she was catching her wife cheating on her husband: "To put it simply, Your Highness the Princess and I are now in a cooperative relationship. And it's not just a simple cooperative relationship... That's right, we are a community of shared destiny where we prosper together and suffer together."

“Is that so? Has it come to this?”

Lagis also raised her teacup, but the milk tea that had tasted sweet just now actually tasted slightly bitter.

The milk tea is cold and no longer tasty.

Seeing that she didn't say anything, Lin felt a little strange. Why did she show the bitter smile of a wife who was told by her husband that she was not as good as a mistress?

What they didn't know was that the princess, who was alone in the room, smiled again after hearing Lin's speech.

Lagis took a deep breath and said, "Really? You two are in this kind of relationship. Does that mean Lin Ni is not deliberately taking advantage of Lana?"

"I said, who do you think I am?" Lin Bai glanced at her and said unhappily, "Don't forget, you and I are childhood sweethearts. Don't you trust me as a person?"

"…That's right, I was nervous."

After saying this, she smiled and glanced at Climb beside her, seeming to be relieved.

Clem was also confused. Only Gagran and Tina wanted to say something, but they held back after being glared at by the devil captain.

"It's you, Laqisi."

"what?"

"Is your body okay lately? Has the magic sword gone berserk? Has it backfired again recently?"

Aindora is a descendant of a hero. His family owns the magic sword [Ziliniram] that was owned by the Black Knight among the thirteen heroes in the past. That ominous magic sword seems to have the evil ability to bewitch people and lead them to depravity.

It’s a pity that even though Lin Gui is the spokesperson for the goddess who is the leader of a religion, he is unable to purify the curse within it.

He took the initiative to go to the Theocracy and the Holy Kingdom, with a big purpose in finding a way to lift the curse, but in the end he got nothing.

"Listen to me, Lin!" When Gagran heard this, he immediately said, "The captain seems to be more difficult to resist recently. She can often be seen in the tent holding the magic sword and whispering."

"That's right. And he looked very uncomfortable, saying things like 'You can never control my magic sword', 'Don't let your imagination run wild, I'm a priest warrior, the one who controls the magic sword!'..." Tina followed closely and reported to Lin.

Lin's face changed, and he immediately took Laqisi's hand and injected magic power into her body as if it was free.

"Wait, wait! Gagran, Tina, stop talking nonsense! Lin, I'm fine! I'm really fine!"

Lagis tried desperately to pull her hand away, saying that she was fine, but it was obvious that she was just pretending to be brave.

The light enveloped Lagis' body for a minute. After it dissipated, Lin's slightly tired face was filled with deep loss.

Just now he used the fifth level of magic, but still did not find any problems. Lagis's vitality was terrifyingly strong, and she was definitely a strong person who had entered the realm of heroes. However, Lin knew that this was an illusion. The magic sword must have done something to her. It seemed that the hidden influence of the magic sword was more difficult than he had imagined.

"That's enough, let me go, I'm fine, I really am fine."

Laqisi's cheeks flushed.

Being restless is like having an unspeakable secret.

Lin looked at her sadly. This person must have been in great pain and suffering because she was secretly resisting the erosion of the magic sword. However, she still acted as if nothing had happened.

Gagran and Tina pursed their lips.

The two are members of the team. They spend more time together with Lagis than Lin. When they are on missions outside, the captain fights the magic sword in the tent almost every night. Her tenacious spirit is one of the reasons why the team members believe in her.

Unfortunately, Lin, who was placed with high hopes, was unable to solve the captain's difficulties.

Climb was a little stupid, but the reactions of the others made him realize that something bad seemed to have happened to Lagis, and it was related to the magic sword of the Thirteen Heroes.

"Lady Lagis, the magic sword..."

“Climb, remember what I told you. Don’t make irreparable mistakes in pursuit of great power.”

"Yes. Could it be...?!"

Lin nodded at him, and Clem's heart tightened.

The reactions of the crowd shattered his beautiful vision of the thirteen heroes. Even though it was only a tiny part, Climb still understood that those heroes had made many sacrifices in order to resist the powerful enemy.

——Gaining power comes at a price.

Climb kept these words in mind.

Lin then said, "Laqisi, are you still wearing the necklace I gave you?"

"You mean this? I carry it with me all the time."

Lagis took out the light blue necklace from her neck. The style was a bit ordinary, without delicate patterns or luxurious gemstones, but the fact that it was valued so much by the fine steel-level adventurer showed that it was unusual.

"Is this it..."

"Captain Devil baby, that's not okay."

Gagran and Tina were also a little curious.

The two knew that this was a gift from Lin to the captain, but Laqisi treasured it so much that they didn't know what the necklace was for.

"Could it be that some magic is sealed?"

"Yes, there is indeed magic sealed inside the necklace."

"real or fake?"

Gegelan assured that he was just saying it casually. He didn't expect that Lin really sealed the magic in this slender necklace. He asked curiously:

"What kind of magic is sealed?"

"Big Healing."

"……what?"

“I said, it’s a great cure.”

Lin spoke calmly.

In sharp contrast to his calmness were the people gathered around the round table.

"hiss--!"

"Hey, hey, is it true?"

"Really?!"

Tina gasped, Gagran couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, and even Climb looked incredulous.

——Great cure.

It seems to be only one word different from the healing magic used by Lin, but that is also the difference between the first level and the sixth level.

Great Healing is a sixth-level magic. Its effect is that as long as the person has not completely died, it can reset the person's condition in the physical sense, and there is no side effect.

No matter if it's a broken arm or leg, ruptured internal organs, bewitched mind, or cursed... as long as you use this magic, it will become brand new.

Because of such an exaggerated effect, it is the sixth-level magic that humans cannot set foot in. Even the old monsters of the empire do not know this magic, let alone seal the magic in this necklace.

It is no exaggeration to say that this necklace is a national treasure.

While the others were stunned, Lin said slowly: "Laqisi, Her Highness the Princess is very important to me, and you are also very important to me."

"Uh-huh……"

The devil captain, who had always been tough, generous and decent, actually blushed like a little girl and lowered his head.

Gegelan shouted carelessly: "Hey, Lin! This can't be a love letter...!"

"Okay! We've solved it!"

Just as he was saying something that might have brought the two of them closer, Her Royal Highness the Princess came out of the room holding a parchment, interrupting Gagran's words.

When she came out, the atmosphere became solemn.

"It's unlocked. But it's not a written instruction..." Lana noticed that the atmosphere was a little off, tilted her head and asked, "Hey, what happened?"

"No, it's fine. Give me the parchment."

Just as Lagis wanted to get out of this awkward atmosphere, she took the parchment that was handed to her.

Gagran smacked his lips visibly.

Tina also curled her lips.

The deciphered parchment contained many place names within the kingdom, including seven royal capitals alone.

"Does this mean there are anti-fans in these places, or that they are important strongholds?"

"I think that such important articles would not be placed in general production areas. This is probably a bait."

"Bait? You mean trap?"

"Hmm... I don't think so. Let's put it this way. Although Eight Fingers is one organization, it is structurally divided into eight organizations, which is closer to a form of mutual cooperation."

After hearing Lin's explanation, Laqisi nodded.

"So this should be the other seven organizations... or should it be called a department, that is, deliberately providing intelligence outside the black fan department to the external enemy in order to temporarily distract the enemy's attention from themselves?"

"That is to say, they prepared intelligence about other departments in advance... Although I had expected that they were not united, I didn't expect it to be so outrageous."

They plotted against each other and set traps. As an adventurer, she despised betraying her companions.

"We have to act quickly, otherwise it will be bad."

"Ok, I know."

Being asked by her friend, Lagis nodded heavily.

Perhaps she was upset by the villains' actions, so the kingdom's only two elite steel-level adventurer teams, Blue Rose, prepared to launch a heavy attack.

Then, she seemed to have thought of something and said, "In that case, what about the brothel? I heard that it was a very bad brothel where you can experience all the services you can imagine."

Lagis herself was filled with anger as she spoke out. Recalling the information she had obtained about the brothel, she was no longer a noble daughter, but a female adventurer traveling the world, and she cursed with disdain in her heart.

There is no need to think about what all the imaginable services mean. What is certain is that many people, both men and women, will be killed for entertainment.

In the past, when the slave trade was still legal, there were several such brothels in the underworld. However, thanks to the Golden Princess's efforts to promote the bill against all odds, the slave trade became illegal and these facilities disappeared.

The facility they found this time is likely to be the last illegal brothel in the capital or the kingdom. Because of this, they cannot be easily ordered to close down, and it is conceivable that there will be stubborn resistance waiting for them.

Because for people with hidden, low-level hobbies, it is their last filthy paradise for relaxation and enjoyment.

"Lana, since we can't exercise our power to search, why don't we force our way in and expose their crimes? It will be fine as long as we find evidence, right? If it is really the slave trade department that is running the brothel, defeating them will be a big blow. Depending on who the evidence points to, we should be able to teach the nobles who are in collusion with them a painful lesson."

“Perhaps you are right, Lagis. But doing so would cause trouble to your family—the Aindora family, so it would be difficult for me to do it. I could ask the members of the Blue Rose to go out… but it would be impossible for Climb to capture that place alone.”

"I am deeply sorry for my inability to do so."

Climb bowed his head decisively and apologized.

Lana reached out her hand and wrapped it around Climb's. She smiled gently, "I'm sorry, Climb. That's not what I meant. That's the only illegal brothel in the capital. No one can take it down by themselves..."

Even Lagis, who was watching from the side, felt moved by the tearful eyes of the peerless beauty.

So, what was Climb's state of mind like?
He tried desperately to keep a straight face, but he couldn't; his flushed cheeks told it all.

If a bard were to give a title to this touching scene, he would probably name it "The Princess and the Knight", but Lagis felt a little terrified.

She thought it was impossible.

But if Lana did this on purpose, then she would be an incredible vixen...

No, what am I thinking about.

How can you doubt your good friend like this?

Besides, hasn't everything that has happened so far proved that she is not a cunning villain? If she is not worthy of trust, who else can we trust if she is brave enough to stand up for justice and is as valuable as gold?

But what if?
The noble daughter subconsciously looked at her childhood sweetheart who was very close to Her Royal Highness the Princess.

However, Lin seemed to have misunderstood.

He tapped the table with his fingers, paused for a moment and said, "I understand. I'll go there."

"Lin (Lord)?" X4
Several people looked at the priest at the same time.

Their expressions varied, but they glanced back and forth at the priest's uniform he was wearing, as if hinting at something.

"Don't look at me like that. If I don't go, is there anyone else who is suitable?"

Lin's strength was not weak. Although he might not be able to clear the brothel alone, he would definitely be able to escape unscathed even if he was exposed. In addition, he was the most powerful noble in the kingdom, so even if he was exposed, he would not be criticized by the nobles.

finally--

“I agree.” Gagran said carelessly, “Anyway, this guy is a noble himself, so he must have experience. He’s much better than Climb. Right, Lin?”

However, Lin pursed his lips, and his embarrassed and shy look seemed to explain something.

Gegelan was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously shouted in a loud voice: "Really, aren't you the young master of a noble family? How can you still be a virgin?!"

Unexpectedly, this sentence ignited Lin.

"What's wrong with being a virgin?! What's wrong with being a virgin?! Did a virgin eat your rice?! I'm a priest, the leader of a religion, and the person closest to the goddess! Isn't it natural for me to remain pure?!"

"It's obvious that the doctrine can be anything?"

"Well!"

Lin was suddenly speechless.

Sometimes I can’t help but wonder if there is something wrong with the church’s teachings?
The church shouldn’t be so unrestrained.

For some reason, Lagis also felt a little embarrassed and raised her teacup to take a sip of milk tea.

Mm, delicious.

It tastes good even when it's cold.

While Gagran was laughing, Lin was embarrassed, Lakis was awkward, Tina was teasing, Clem was shocked... everyone had different expressions, but Lana still kept smiling, gracefully raised the cup and tasted the sweet milk tea.
