MTL - The Barrage Said, I Am the Final Villain In the Game-Chapter 238
Since she became conscious, Corinna has never been so powerless as she is now.
When Lynn first threatened her, she could still sneer and satirize him, and even when he said something that could really threaten her, she could still refute in a cold voice, but when he started planning his future, Ke Linna couldn't find any more words to refute.
Because these things are really possible things!
If she really lets this hard-won opportunity slip through her fingers, then the marriage contract that has been delayed for a long time will definitely be signed by another person's name in the near future.
This is something that a daughter of a noble family will inevitably encounter.
Christine is now in a period of rapid development, and they will not let go of any opportunity to attract others to strengthen themselves. Corinna's marriage contract is not finalized now because she still has some value. Once she loses this only Something, then she would undoubtedly be a bridge to draw others to join Christine.
Moreover, Corinna still has no way to resist.
—She is too young and has too few chips.
How much value an individual can have can be seen from several aspects.
Strength is one of them. In this world of magic and martial arts, if a single person has enough combat power, then everyone has to kneel before him.
And if the combat power is insufficient, it depends on the relationship, social relationship.
If a person has a certain level of gold coins, power, and strength among friends, relatives, or even parents and other acquaintances, then in the eyes of others, this person will also have this kind of relationship implicated. certain status.
So, if none of the above, what else to watch?
The answer is potential.
This potential refers to the potential that can be seen and what level it can reach in the future—after all, not everyone is a great prophet, who can predict what adventures someone will get in the future and reach the sky in one step.
The above are several conditions that constitute human value.
What does Corina have?
Not bad strength among the younger generation, excellent but not outstanding potential, and a social circle that cannot be expanded due to age.
The first two may be valued in other places, but this is Catalina, and her family is the only three duke family in the entire kingdom. Their requirements for personal abilities are too high, and Corinna's strength and potential are too high. It is true that it has not reached the level that can amaze the world, then, in fact, it is almost equivalent to a waste product, and there is no possibility of being valued.
The remaining social value is the only thing Corinna has, and it is also one of the reasons why her name has not been written on the other end of the marriage contract.
Once lost, then, she will say goodbye to Christine forever, including the last name.
After losing her surname, the only thing she can rely on is the so-called "husband's family".
If she can control the resources of her husband's family, she may be able to overthrow Lynn's arrangement, but unfortunately, this kind of thing may be difficult to happen.
—Because of her, "It's pretty good."
Corinna's potential and strength may not be able to win her some status in Christine, but if it is put outside, what "a genius female knight who is only **** years old and has reached the level that others have reached in so many years" "Rhine Academy" One of the most outstanding graduates of the class of xx, "a noble lady with all-round development of morality, intelligence, physique, beauty and labor" and so on, will become her "promotional slogan" to attract the attention of others.
And such a beautiful lady, such an excellent daughter, such a wife who must be faithful, how can ordinary people get it?
As Lynn said, no matter what, you have to be a future Mr. Earl or even a current Mr. Earl to be eligible, right?
If it is the latter, it is almost impossible for Corinna to succeed, because there are not many fools who can wear this title. Given her age and experience, it is somewhat difficult to wrestle with the opponent.
If it is the former, then there is indeed a chance, but it will take time.
At least, it must be when her husband really starts to take over the power of the family.
This must be a long process, but Lynn's plan doesn't need to wait too long.
"You bastard!"
Corinna squeezed out these few words between her teeth, and looked at Lin En angrily, as if she wanted to burn Lin Linen to death with her eyes.
It's a pity that years of etiquette learning have made her neither words nor eyes show any aggressiveness. Facing this sight, Lynn even just blinked her eyes, as if saying with some doubts.
"You seem to be resisting?"
"asshole!!"
The voice got louder.
It's just louder.
This amplifies the decibel sound though, and it seems to really work.
Because Lynn let go of his hand.
He didn't care about Corinna's subconscious step back, and asked with a smile: "So miss, can we have a serious talk?"
"I"
Korinna instinctively wanted to spit out the words "I refuse", but probably Lynn's threatening words really had an effect. She only uttered one word and swallowed the rest.
Of course, even if she didn't directly refuse, she couldn't just talk to Lynn.
Whoever it is, it’s impossible to listen to the speech of the person who wants to use such vicious means to destroy himself, and immediately respond to the other party’s words, right?
At least, you have to have an attitude.
Ling En, who was on the opposite side, looked at her, smiled, and said, "Miss, you don't have to be so resentful to me."
"Since we met till now, I don't seem to have done anything to harm your interests, and I have helped you accomplish your goals. And now, we have a new, but still the same purpose, I think, We should not be enemies."
"The same purpose." Corinna said with a sneer, "My purpose is to cover myself with a coffin and bury it in the soil. So do you? Do you want to be my funeral?"
Lin En pretended not to understand the other party's words, and said in embarrassment: "A joint burial? This may be a little difficult. You don't have a marriage contract, but I do."
Corinna really laughed at him this time.
"Yes, you are also a person with a fiancée, and you are also a princess, and you are even a single heir, and you are very likely to become the lady of the duchess—then why don't you threaten her and embarrass me? She shouldn't treat you more Is there any help!"
Lin En spread her hands: "You also know that it is difficult for me to ask for help, so how could I make it difficult for her?"
Corinna didn't believe a single word of these words: "Stop saying affectionate words like scum like you, it's disgusting! It makes me sick to my stomach!"
"Okay." Lynn sighed, "It seems that you hate me so much now, you don't think anything I say is right."
"In that case, come to think of it, you probably don't want to continue chatting with me."
Lin looked past Corinna to the man in black in the distance.
The man in black got the order and naturally threw away the magic in his hand.
In just an instant, the cloth used as the card table and the fuel of the cards combined, bursting out into a raging fire, at an extremely fast speed. When Corinna looked back, the fire snake had already clung to the bodies of several people.
You don't even hesitate, you don't have any flexibility, bastard! !
After the flames had completely swallowed one of them, Corinna finally couldn't bear it anymore.
"Stop!"
"Pa-ta-"
The flame disappeared instantly, but unfortunately, there were three more people who disappeared at the same time.
"I did not refuse to communicate."
Corinna turned her head to look at Lin En, and lied with a livid face, but Lin En didn't care and just smiled.
"Thank you for your cooperation."
"." Corinna took a deep breath, adjusted her expression and mentality, and asked, "What do you want?"
"I want you."
Corinna hugged herself tightly and took three steps back.
"...I want you to become one of the people in charge of the Christine family—at least have the ability to protect us."
"Huh?" Corinna was very puzzled by Lynn's words, "You want to help me get the rights of the family?"
"why?"
"Huh?" Now it was Lynn's turn not to understand, "Don't you know the current situation of our family?"
"How is your family?"
Corinna thought for a long time, but couldn't think of a reason, so she could only shake her head.
"I have no idea."
"Then you don't need to know." Lynn waved his hand and said, "I will try to use the shortest possible time to help you gain some voice in the family—this should be what you want, right?"
"That's true, but"
"In exchange, I hope that in the future, your family's attitude towards Blazer will be biased towards us as much as possible. The worst is to remain neutral."
Corinna could hear it now.
Brazer's family has changed and may face crisis at any time.
He is seeking an asylum, and he is one of the candidates, or even the only one.
Otherwise, there is no way to explain that he wants to help himself seize power.
But, isn't it wrong to seek shelter and find her?
Corinna pointed to her nose and asked: "Do you think I can stand at the center of the family at this age, with this gender, and in a short period of time?"
"Do you think too highly of me or you? Or do you think my parents are mentally handicapped?"
"That's why I said, try to be as neutral as possible." Lin En folded his arms and said with a smile, "In your large families with a large population, except for certain important matters, the patriarch's right to speak is not absolute, and they always Refer to the opinions of other descendants and concubines to take care of their emotions."
"For example, 'whether to join the targeting of Blazer' is a matter that has little impact on you."
“Participate, maybe you can get something; if you don’t participate, you won’t lose anything.”
"What I want you to do is to use reasons and explanations to make you stand in that position, so that most of your parents vote not to participate. As for helping, it depends on whether I can create for you later. More, to impress your parents, but your right to speak is secondary."
“.”
Corinna listened quietly to Lynn's narration, without making a sound of sarcasm.
Judging from the information revealed by Lynn, he really had to help himself, and he did his best to help himself, and what he wanted was very little.
What he wants is to use the right to speak so that the family will not target them, and what he gets is the possibility of stepping into the real center of power.
If this is the case, Corinna feels that this matter is of great benefit to herself and has no harm, but in this process, will he intervene in it, just like before, silently? Can he control his own trajectory to develop in the direction he wants?
If the latter succeeds, what good is it for her to accomplish her goal!
As a puppet boarded with a gemstone scepter, Corinna will not have any sense of accomplishment!
only
What if there is no sense of accomplishment?
Myself, can I refuse?
Corinna finally found out sadly that it seemed that from the moment Lynn saw her, her future had been arranged to die.
Follow him, you can get things but you may become a puppet; if you go against him, you will either die or live worse than death.
Corinna put down her thoughts and sighed: "You are such a bastard."
This insult is weaker than all the previous ones.
Lin En waved his hand indifferently: "I'm fine asshole, as long as you're shining enough."
“.”
Sighing again, Corinna's voice weakened a little: "What should I do if you win, how should I do it?"
"Is that so?" Lynn squinted and smiled, "I heard that Christine is not rich?"
"?"
Corinna raised her head blankly, but the moment she raised her head, she seemed to think of something and confirmed his words.
"It's not rich enough."
What she said was not not rich, but not rich enough.
As a duke family, it is difficult for them to be poor. As long as they want to, countless people will kneel down and give them money.
There are three reasons why Corinna said "not rich enough".
First of all, the background.
Unlike Karan, Christine has been cultivating on this land for many years. Their prosperity is due to half force, half strategy, and following the right people. The lack of experience caused Christine to not think about business matters at all at the beginning. After looking back, she realized that the things that can make money make money have long been distributed, and she can only rely on her status in exchange for some Soup—you can’t drink too much of this kind of soup, because it’s hard to pay back the favors you owe.
The second reason is that there are too many descendants.
The original Christine was not an aristocrat, and did not understand elite education. After her status rose, there were countless romantic affairs, and illegitimate children who could not distinguish between true and false were everywhere. Although most of them were removed after investigation, but There are still some people left.
According to the rules of the nobles, after the children grow up, they will definitely be given some assets or money to train them and cultivate their growth.
This is divided, and most of the soup that I finally drank has gone.
The last point, I don’t know if it should be a matter of luck.
Logically speaking, with so many people, so many assets and gold coins, plus Christine's name, how can I say that they should make a fortune in business, right?
But no.
Christine who went out to do business counted one by one, and all of them lost their money. The rest of the good ones lived with the little property in their hands.
Without the ability to make money, Christine's investment desire is getting weaker and weaker. Everyone guards their own things, so naturally they won't be too rich.
As for cheating and abducting.
If this kind of person makes Christine, who is in the transition period, laughed at by other nobles, even if it's just secretly laughed, one can imagine the result of that period.
In short, compared to ordinary nobles, Christine is considered a rich man, but for those with a deep background, such as the Callan family, the Enoch family, and some big businessmen, they are not really rich.
Otherwise, Corinna would not have considered which necklace to buy when she was in Setland.
"It turns out that the reason why I fell into the scheme is because I'm not rich enough?"
Corinna suddenly had a strange thought, but was quickly dismissed by Lynn's words.
"What assets do you own?"
"My assets." Corinna thought for a while and said, "I didn't have many things before, but after I came back from Sitland, my family rewarded me with a shop. I don't know what it sells, because there is no Go and see. In addition, I also have a jewelry store, which was given to me by the family after contacting His Highness with the reason that 'communication with His Highness requires a certain amount of gold coins'."
Lin En pondered what Corinna said, and after a while, he nodded slightly: "Well, enough."
He looked up at the girl: "Next, I need some time to make a plan. Tomorrow, let's meet and talk in detail tomorrow."
"Yes." Corinna agreed.
"Okay." Lynn said with a sigh of relief, "It's almost time, let's continue our chat tomorrow."
"I'll take my leave first"
"Hey, wait a minute!" Corinna interrupted him hastily, pointing back at those people lying on the ground, "What about those people? You won't throw it to me, will you?"
"Ah, they." Lin En said casually, "I have already helped them find a good place, and they will go to report tonight. In addition, the news of His Highness helping them will slowly spread."
"Ok?!"
"Stop hmmmm." Lynn smiled lightly, "If they don't help you, how can I threaten you with them?"
"You bastard. So where do they go?"
"I don't tell you, what if you want to sneak over and deal with them?"
".I don't have such a cruel heart as you."
"That's right, if you were ruthless enough, you should have used death to avoid threats just now."
“.”
"I can't tell you where they went, but I can tell you where they came from—those bankrupt merchants are all those who transport gold coins for the Karan family."
Korinna was slightly taken aback, and the next moment she realized it, her expression became as if she had seen a ghost.
