Chapter 62 Esdeath

The dark night sky turned into daytime in a flash. Tatsumi and Long Xiaolin, who had transformed into Xinnan, came to the bookstore opened by Rab on the main street of the imperial capital.

After entering the bookstore, Rab pressed the secret compartment on the bookshelf, and the bookshelf slowly moved away, revealing a secret passage behind it.

“It really feels like a secret base.”

"That's kind of cool, actually."

"Right? This is something I'm proud of."

"This (seems) not to be made by you." X2

When I walked into the secret passage, Leone had been waiting there for a long time.

"Welcome to the hidden base of the imperial capital~"

Now that the four of them have gathered, Rab took out the wanted warrants for Mayin and Long Xiaolin and started talking about business.

"Well, Xiao Lin and Mayin are now wanted, and there are only three of us who can act openly in the imperial capital."

"Hey Rab, did you see my face clearly?"

Raber turned his head and found that Long Xiaolin's face had changed.

"Oh sorry, I forgot you have a thousand faces, that means four people."

"By the way, the topic circulating on the street right now is indeed the same as what Xiao Lin said, about those special police officers called Hunters, right?"

"After all, the captain is Esdeath, so of course she will become a topic of discussion. Such a dangerous person..."

【Guess why I just smiled and didn't say anything? 】

"How dangerous is she, specifically?"

"Yes, then I will tell you a story."

"Okay, trigger the keyword memoir segment!"

"A few years ago, the foreign tribes in the southwest rose up in rebellion against the tyranny of the empire. The empire sent a suppression force. Facing 1 foreign troops, the empire sent 12 troops.

Everyone thought the outcome was obvious, but the imperial army was in a tough fight during the border battle, and those soldiers who had been pampered in the imperial capital were defeated miserably by the powerful force of nature.

"What kind of Eagle sauce is this, fighting Vietnam?"

“The local foreign tribes seized the opportunity and launched a series of night attacks, making the battle situation extremely difficult.

The anxious empire sent the young and promising General Nadezhda and General Esdeath to provide support."

[Nadeta: "General Esdeath, you look unhappy?"

Esdeath: "Of course I am very unhappy. The minister's order is to use the imperial weapon to quickly put down the rebellion. The fun of war lies in fighting against the natural power that defeated the suppression forces, but now it has disappeared completely because of a boring order."

Across the street was a city of a foreign race, and ahead was a turbulent river blocking their way.

Esdeath had no choice but to jump off her horse and walk to the river.

"Whether it's a beast or a pest, a plague or a virus, everything will freeze in front of me."

The moment the hand touched the water, the river surface instantly froze to form a huge and wide ice bridge.

"What a powerful force!" Nadezhda stared at the spectacular scene with eyes wide open.

The road has been formed, and the three beastmen ordered to immediately break through the enemy base camp.

Under the swift attack of the soldiers and the three beast warriors, the enemy was quickly wiped out.

Esdeath: "After destroying the enemies, it's time for a fun bonus. Let's ravage this city to our heart's content!"

After receiving the order, everyone started burning, killing and looting. The city was devastated in a short time. The screams of women and the cries of men filled the entire city, echoing in the air.

Esdeath: "See? Your city is heading for destruction."

Prisoner: "Damn it, kill me!"

Esdeath: "I am very merciful. This is just a small act of mercy. I will let you guys live."

Although Esdeath spoke so nicely, the prisoner knew that the woman in front of him could not be so kind.

"You are kidding! If you don't kill me now, I will definitely kill you one day..."

Before the prisoner could finish his words, Esdeath stepped on his head with her heel.

"Remember this. It is natural for the weak to be treated like this. If you are unwilling to accept this, then go and become stronger."

At that time, Nadezhda could no longer tolerate the imperial capital that issued such cruel instructions and those who happily carried out those orders. 】

"That's what it is."

"It's really bad to let the other party hate you and then let them go on purpose."

[One against seven, someone is scolding you~]

"But wouldn't this sow new seeds for the empire?"

"That's what Esdeath wants. She wants a rebellion to happen so she can enjoy war forever."

"What a scary guy..." This was the only conclusion Tatsumi drew from Rab's story.

[This world is full of historical traces...]

Leone sighed and laid down on the couch.

"That was a close call. It was a wise decision not to attack her alone... No, Xiao Lin, can't your clone make me invisible? Why..."

"My current clones are not even one-tenth as strong as my original body. Your invisible attack on her is considered as your active appearance."

"Uh... well, how many millions of people must have been killed to have such courage..."

"Even my eldest sister said that. What kind of monster is this?"

"If you care, why don't you go and see it with your own eyes? Esdeath is hosting a martial arts competition for the citizens of the city. I heard that there will be prize money for the winner."

"Then Tatsumi, I'll go with you."

"Hey, Xiao Lin is going too?"

"This competition may seem like a simple duel, but it's actually to find the right person to be the new emperor."

ha?

When the three heard that it was the selection of the Emperor's Tool Users, they were immediately confused.

"But of the Teigu that have appeared, we have already recovered three of them, and you destroyed two of them... Could it be that there are new Teigu?"

Tatsumi thought about it and finally came up with this statement.

Regarding this conclusion, the three people focused their eyes on Long Xiaolin, wanting to know whether it was as Tatsumi said.

"They say it's a Teigu, but it's not."

Long Xiaolin's words were confusing and the three people were also bewildered.

Suddenly, Rab had an idea and remembered that Long Xiaolin had gone out last night and Hill had gone to find him.

"Could it be that you created that imperial weapon?"

Long Xiaolin smiled evilly.

"It's the Nava Summoner. Last night, I had my clone cause a big disturbance at their Hunter Party. After I lost to them, I left the summoner there. Sure enough, the competition announcement was issued today."

"Like what you would do, Xiao Lin. Have you met Esdeath?"

"Well, maybe it's because of the limitations of the venue and subordinates. She and I both can't even use one tenth of our strength. But from a rough look, the other party's understanding of ice is not very thorough."

"Sure enough, in Xiao Lin's eyes, no one is his opponent."

"In that case, you go to the competition tomorrow. Leone and I will be watching you from the stands."
