"Patron Saint of the Empire? What is this?" Almost everyone present looked surprised.
"That legend was only circulated among the high-ranking officials of the empire. It was rumored that when the empire was in crisis, the patron saint of the empire appeared. But at the time, I regarded it as a legend. But when I was reading ancient books,
Among them, after seeing the records in historical materials, I vaguely felt that those legends might be true."
Natasha paused and then said.
"According to records, this unknown patron saint of the empire refined thirty-six artifacts to subdue the country, and what is even more terrifying is that, more than two hundred years after the establishment of the empire, there were twenty-seven famous people in the records.
The artifact masters rebelled and joined forces to attack the imperial capital, but were instantly suppressed by the imperial patron saint. I don’t know the specific situation, but it shouldn’t be too bad.”
"Could it be that this snake, the patron saint of your empire, is the same as the empire's general, and does not refer to a specific person, but the inheritance of the title?"
"Well, this should be a possibility, but this cannot be underestimated. You must be careful when executing characters in the future."
"But I always felt that that person didn't have any malicious intent. My beast king's aura didn't respond at all," Rebecca said cautiously, as if she didn't quite believe this conclusion.
"It's possible, otherwise he wouldn't have to send us back. Five artifact users are also a very powerful force. If he were on the side of the empire, he wouldn't be able to bring us back." Erland also clicked
nod.
"No matter what, never take it lightly."
"Don't worry, BOSS!"
"That's it for now. Your name is Yumi, right? What are you going to do now? Join us?"
Natasha stopped worrying about Li Mu and asked about Youmi.
"I don't know," he was still immersed in the sadness caused by Sylvie's death, and then he was sent here together by Li Mu. Although he said he chose this side, it was a helpless choice because he didn't want to choose the empire's side.
.
"Brother, why don't you join us directly?" Erland still had some affection for Yumi. Although he was obstructing them at the time, he did so without knowing it. He dared to protect Yumi when the gap between the two sides was so huge.
Not everyone has the courage to protect the person he wants to protect.
"Are you killers?" Yumi spoke while hesitating.
"What, do you look down on this profession? Or do you think that killers are all bad people?"
After hearing Yumi's words, Natasha was not annoyed at all. Instead, she seemed to have heard such words too many times, and her expression remained unchanged.
"Isn't it?"
"Perhaps in the eyes of the world, people like killers are bad people, right? I have never thought about us being recognized by the world, but have you ever thought about it, those people who are sanctioned by us are guilty of heinous crimes?
Where are the people?”
Looking at Yumi who was silent, Natasha continued.
"I don't mean to make you think that we are noble people. I just want to tell you that it is not that easy for people like us with blood on our hands. You should think carefully about it. Of course,
If you want to leave, that's fine, but the premise is that you have to promise that you won't tell anyone what happens here."
Natasha's eyes suddenly became sharp.
"Boss, isn't this bad?" Reine picked up her fearless shooter-Gamma and pretended to take aim at Yumi, "What if he leaks out?"
"I believe Yuumi won't, right?"
"Who can say for sure?"
"It doesn't matter, I trust Rebecca's judgment, and this place is already known to one person, right?"
"Well, I want to know, are there many people like Jinx in the empire now?"
Yuumi listened to everyone's argument and asked a question that had been lingering in her mind.
"Oh, there are countless targets like tonight's in this imperial capital alone. Moreover, the sin value of tonight's target is not even worth mentioning in this imperial capital."
"What!?", Yumi's eyes widened.
"What? You can't believe it? You have to know that this empire has existed for thousands of years. Under its thousand-year rule, it has naturally grown into increasingly corrupt high-level officials."
"Xiao Yumi~ These are the files we collected. Some were collected by ourselves, and some were told by the common people. If you don't believe us, these can't be false." Rebecca didn't know where to change.
He took out a stack of paper and handed it to Yumi.
"This, are these all true?" After a while, Yumi couldn't stand it anymore after reading a few pages.
"Don't you already have the answer in your heart?"
"No wonder, no wonder, the village chief stopped us from coming to the imperial capital at first. I want to join you, can I?"
"Of course, we welcome everyone who shares the same goals!" Natasha, who has always been unsmiling, said with a smile.
…………
Early the next morning, in the imperial palace.
"Your Majesty the Emperor, last night, another nobleman who was loyal to the empire lost his life at the hands of the damn empire's assassination troops. When I heard the news, my appetite was much smaller, wuwuwu~"
A fat man weighing about two hundred pounds held a large piece of meat in one hand and said sadly while biting it.
"Is it them again? It seems that I have heard more and more news about them recently, but Minister Delhos shouldn't be too sad. Have those people been caught now?"
"Your Majesty, those people have not been caught, and the information shows that there are at least five artifact users in that hateful assassin team. This is not like the meat in my hand that is easy to chew."
"What should we do? Does the minister have any idea?" The young emperor sitting on the throne seemed to believe in Delhos.
"Your Majesty the Emperor, among the five artifact wielders, perhaps only the general can do this." Delhos, who was still biting the food in his hand, looked at the other side of the hall with a smile, like a sculpture.
Standing there, keeping calm, was a middle-aged man wearing golden armor.
Among the many ministers, even among the generals, only this one wore armor.
"If those thieves attack the imperial city out of ignorance, I will take action." The man who had been closing his eyes to rest slightly opened his eyes, glanced at Delhos, said calmly, and then continued to wander around.
.
"Ha, ha, ha, General Bond is still ignoring government affairs as always." Delhos was not affected by Bond Hard's contemptuous gaze at all, but seemed to be even happier.
