Chapter 351: Chapter 219 How Great Would It Be If He Were My Subordinate?_3
She had considered that since it involved the Helius Mausoleum, he might propose some excessive demands.
For instance, pletely quelling the fury of the Imperial Council and clearing his name of all charges.
Or perhaps, taking to the skies and far away, arranging a brand-new identity for him, living a superior life elsewhere.
Honestly speaking, even though these two demands were simpler pared to dealing with the Helius Mausoleum, the whole affair hadn’t even cast its shadow yet, merely his verbal agreement, whether he would go back on his word afterwards is another matter.
Hillena naturally couldn’t let her guard down.
Just as he had said before, this transaction did not require trust, it could be entirely built upon caution and suspicion.
Upon hearing this, Lynn didn’t hesitate much, and straightforwardly stated his request.
“I need to borrow the Sealed Object Bell on your wrist,” he spoke slowly, “Of course, there’s no need to transfer the right to use it to me, just your cooperation with me in one trial is sufficient.”
This trial was of utmost importance to Lynn, it even directly decided Tiya’s future.
To put it in a more dramatic way, it might be his final ripple.
Days of relentless rushing and battling had left Lynn both physically and mentally exhausted, at present he was solely driven by his inner force.
There would be no one who could stand shoulder to shoulder with him.
Even Miss Witch, after reading his past memories, chose to respond to him with cold violence, it was clear how angry she was at his insubordination.
Thus, he only had one chance.
As previously stated, his opponent this time was the true form of an unprecedented Divine entity, and he too, as always, must stake his own life as a gamble to barely qualify for a seat at the table.
As for the oute, it still remained an unknown.
On the other side, upon hearing the condition Lynn proposed, Hillena fell into a long silence.
It wasn’t due to it being impossible to fulfill.
On the contrary.
pared to the risks he would need to take after this, merely borrowing her Level 0 Sealed Object, this request seemed all too easy.
So easy that it even made her wonder if the other party was trying to deceive her.
However, the resolve and determination revealed in the youth’s words instinctively made Hillena dismiss this possibility.
pared to Tiya and Ivyst, her ability to judge people was much stronger.
After a long silence, Hillena spoke again, “I agree to your request, but…”
“Before that, could you answer two questions for me?”
“Go ahead.”
Hillena straightened her back slightly, revealing her full and curved figure, then she spoke seriously, “The first question, the condition you’ve proposed, it isn’t for yourself, is it?”
Lynn hesitated for a moment, then chose to speak the truth, “Of course not.”
“Tiya?”
Hillena pressed on.
Lynn smiled silently, “That counts as the second question.”
It seemed he didn’t want to answer this question.
But through his reaction, the truth of the matter was self-evident.
Taking a deep breath, as if she was re-evaluating Lynn Bartleion anew, from top to bottom, she scrutinized him inch by inch.
In fact, she had noticed a hint earlier.
This guy… seemed to have never considered himself.
Even the reward for the previously mentioned deal, he hadn’t considered whether he would be in danger after entering the tomb, solely unwilling to involve Ivyst.
For some reason, Hillena suddenly felt a touch of envy.
Envious that her youngest sister of the lowest rank had such fortune, to gain his loyalty.
If only he were my subordinate.
For a brief moment, this thought unexpectedly surfaced in her mind.
But the next second, Hillena forcefully shook her head, dispersing it.
“The second question.” In order to divert her attention, she spoke again, “The sequence level of my Sealed Object is 0, belonging to the most dangerous category, so before that, I need to know your purpose for borrowing it.”
Upon hearing this, a mad and dangerous gleam suddenly flashed in Lynn’s eyes beneath the black cloth.
“I want to… awaken the Demon inside me.”
