Lin Jin had finished his meeting with Unn. Even he had never expected it to go so smoothly.
Next, he needed to meet Herrah the Beast Queen.
If he could persuade her, he would have two votes. There was still time to turn things around before the Vessel plan began, and the Flame Capital's subsequent negotiations would go more smoothly.
As for how he would convince her that the Hollow Knight plan could never succeed?
Heh. Those Vessels in the Nosk Nest should make the Beast Queen realize that the Hollow Knight was neither unique nor perfect.
But sitting outside the Stag Station in Greenpath, Lin Jin faced a dilemma.
There were three ways to reach the Beast's Den, but none of them were easy.
He could take the most direct route, heading straight to the Stag Station in the Distant Village.
From there, he could travel to the Nosk Nest, but he was unsure whether Deepnest's inhabitants would question or attack him.
The other two routes were less direct. One involved crossing the Fungal Core and entering Deepnest from there.
The last involved going through the Hidden Station, passing through the Ancient Basin, and then taking the Tram to Deepnest.
"Neither is an easy choice, but I'd better avoid meeting her until I have proof."
Lin Jin's deliberations did not last long. The stag beneath him soon interrupted them.
It stopped at the station and lowered its head. "Hello, tall one. Where are you going? Please decide quickly, if you can."
After some thought, Lin Jin finally made his decision. "I need to go to the Ancient Basin."
When Lin Jin said this, the stag looked him up and down, seemingly checking whether he was joking.
But he was not. His eyes were sincere.
"All right," the stag replied.
