Frilian: Starting by inheriting the title of the Southern Hero

Chapter 38 Inviting the Radish Elf?

Clementis's words made Lynn frown.

The last time I heard something similar was from Celie.

At the time, Celia also said that she was under a very troublesome spell, but Lynn didn't take it seriously.

But now that I hear Clematis say the same thing, I can't help but feel doubtful.

But to my recollection, no one has ever cast any strange spells on me, has they?

Could it be that the white radish fairy Frilian played some kind of prank?

However, upon closer reflection, it seems that when she first met Frilian, the carrot fairy mentioned that she had a troublesome smell about her.

"It seems you've realized it yourself."

Clementis caught Lynn's facial reaction.

"Can you tell what kind of magic it is?"

Lynn suppressed his doubts and asked in a deep voice.

Since the other party has brought it up, let's hear the expert's opinion.

"What exactly it is, I can't see through."

Clementis shook his head. "The magical structure placed on you is very strange. It doesn't seem like offensive magic, nor does it seem like a simple curse."

"Will it cause harm to people?"

Lynn pressed for an answer.

Logically speaking, someone with a body that has broken curses should be immune to ordinary curses. So what kind of curse was planted on their body?

"It seems stable for now, but this stability is an illusion. You may have already been affected without even realizing it."

Is there a solution?

Lynn looked at Clementis.

"I can't."

After Clematis finished speaking, he immediately stepped aside to make way for Lorelei behind him.

"But she can."

Lorelei nodded slightly and continued:

"My binding spell can not only affect the control of magic by those using magic, rendering their magic ineffective, but it can also dispel magic cast on objects."

"condition."

Lynn didn't ask if he could help solve it; he went straight to asking for the price.

These two have been dawdling and building up for so long; it's impossible that they're just being kind.

"Do me a favor."

Clematis smiled and held up one finger.

"I can't do anything about your business."

Lynn waved her hand and refused without even thinking.

Getting involved with this group of lunatics will never end well.

Don't rush to refuse.

Clematis waved his hand. "I promise I won't make you do anything against your will."

"Without going against one's will?"

Lynn frowned slightly. "That's alright. I was just worried you'd send me to assassinate Celia."

"So, you agree?"

"Tell me what it is first?"

Lynn turned his gaze back to Clementis. "Let's make this clear first, don't come to me with any troublesome matters."

Clematis smiled. "Don't worry, none of it is difficult."

"Then tell me about it."

Lynn did not budge.

I will never sign anything without seeing the specific terms and conditions.

This is the principle.

"I can't tell you right now."

A sly glint flashed in Clematis's eyes.

"If you're not going to tell me, then there's no point in talking. I don't believe you're the only ones who can break the spell on me. Goodbye."

Lynn didn't want to be led by the nose, so she got up to leave.

"What a cautious fellow."

Clematis chuckled lightly. "I didn't mean to make things difficult for you. I just wanted to leave a way out for the people behind me."

"Is there any way out?"

Lynn sighed helplessly, "Why don't you just not do such a brainless thing? Assassinating Celia, you guys really dare to do that."

After saying that, he opened the door without looking back and strode away.

……

For a moment, only Levi, Clematis, and Lorelei remained in the room.

What do you think of him?

Clematis walked to the other side of the desk, pulled out a chair, and sat down.

"Very interesting."

Levi said.

"Just for fun?"

Clematis frowned. "Haven't you considered leaving him here permanently to eliminate any future trouble?"

"You want to keep him?"

Levi smiled and shook his head, raising his hand to touch his dark eyepatch.

"My gut feeling tells me that if I had tried to kill him, there would have been at least two bodies in this room."

Upon hearing this, Clematis fell silent.

Levi's intuition was honed through countless brushes with death and had never been wrong.

"In the end, the details of this kid's background are still very unclear."

Clematis sighed softly, "If it were the Magic Special Forces, they would have already mobilized people to surround and annihilate us after obtaining so much intelligence."

If he's from the Continental Magic Association, he should be a relatively powerful mage.

"So it seems he's neither a member of the Magic Special Forces nor the Magic Association."

Levi narrowed his single eye. "Then who is he? Just a variable simply existing outside the rules?"

"Lorene, what do you see in him?"

Clematis turned to look at his successor.

He was grooming Lorelei to be the next combat commander.

Luo Lei raised her head slightly, and her eyes, which seemed to be perpetually squinted, opened slightly.

"confusion."

She uttered two words, "He has an aura that doesn't belong to this time period, and the flow of magic around him is very chaotic, as if he has been interfered with by some high-ranking being, such as the goddess."

The room immediately fell silent.

Levi touched the hideous scar on his face, then suddenly looked as if he had just realized something.

"I see."

"What came to mind?" Clematis asked immediately.

"As far as I know, there are ten Goddess Monuments in the world. Some of the villages near these monuments are said to have magic that can take people to the past."

Levi said, "I was thinking that this young man has such strength that Klein is wary of him; he shouldn't be unknown within the Empire's territory. Maybe he's from the future."

"future?"

Clematis was somewhat surprised. "I have heard rumors about the Goddess's Monument. I even broke off a piece and brought it back to study, but I couldn't see anything."

"...If this person came from the future through the Goddess's Monument, then many questions can indeed be answered."

Clematis continued his analysis, "No matter what we did, it will all just be a story written in a book in the future. As someone who listens to the story, he naturally knows everything about us."

"That's right."

Levi nodded. "And he mentioned that he lived in a place without magic. Perhaps, in the future, we really will accomplish this great feat."

"But then again, since he knows about us, what if he tells the Magic Association..."

"He won't."

Levi interrupted Clementis.

"Why are you so sure?"

"Because of the eyes."

Levi said, "There was no hostility in his eyes when he looked at me, only... pity."

"mercy?"

Clematis thought it was absurd to use the word to describe Levi.

"It seems that we heroes who fought for a great cause will not have a good ending in the future."

Levi gave a self-deprecating laugh.

……

Lynn did not accept the room arranged by Levi, but instead prepared to change hotels.

It wasn't because I was afraid the other party would harm me; it was simply because I disliked Levi's flawed logic.

Levi's childhood is pitiable, but his ideas are not to be agreed with.

After settling into a different hotel, it was already getting dark.

The magic lamps on both sides of the street lit up, casting a halo of light on the bluestone pavement.

"Let's go find a place to eat."

Lynn touched her empty stomach; after a whole day of work, she was starving.

Laofen nodded vigorously in agreement.

The two walked along the main road for a while until they smelled the aroma of stew in the air.

"That one over there looks nice."

Laofen pointed to a restaurant with a large sign on the street corner.

There are quite a lot of people here, so the taste should be guaranteed.

Just as he was about to go over, Lynn stopped in his tracks.

There were a few familiar figures in the crowd.

A white-haired elf wearing a scarf is peeking out.

The purple-haired girl next to her, also wearing a scarf, was rubbing her hands together, looking very cold.

There's also a warrior with tomato-colored hair.

Lynn's nerves, which had been tense all day, inexplicably relaxed when he saw these three people.

Not long ago I was dealing with a group of lunatics plotting to kill gods and destroy demons, and now I've run into these leisurely guys. The world is just too unpredictable.

"What a coincidence."

Lynn smiled, her first genuine smile of the day, and walked over.

"Mr. Lynn?"

Philon was the first to notice someone approaching, and after seeing who it was, he greeted them with some surprise.

"We meet again."

Lynn replied with a smile, "You're here to eat too? Want to join us?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a white head popped out from behind Philon.

Is someone treating?

Frillie blinked, her eyes filled with anticipation.

"no problem."

Lynn subconsciously made an OK sign, then realized that people in this world might not understand it, so she immediately changed it to a peace sign.

"Heh, what good luck."

Having achieved her goal, Frillie's face immediately lit up with a smile, and she quickly followed.
