Chapter 436
Time passed.
In the blink of an eye, it was already a month later.
During this period, civil officials were assassinated one after another, and the only things left at the scene were the leaflets left by Night Raid after the assassination.
Even if he was slandered.
Night Raid could not come out to refute.
But Night Raid also countered during this period, and spread the information about the divine tool in Esdeath's hands thoroughly.
Now it's not just the imperial capital.
Even several surrounding countries have learned of this news. For a while, undercurrents surged, and countless pairs of greedy eyes were staring at Esdeath.
But no one dared to snatch it, just because she was the strongest Esdeath in the imperial capital!
But it also caused her some trouble.
For example, the minister came to ask in person, but Esdeath did not hide it, but directly told the side effects.
Hearing this, the minister did not say anything more.
After all, the two of them are grasshoppers in the same boat.
...
At the same time.
In the deep mountains on the north side of the imperial capital, a huge dragon with a body of ten meters and covered by rocks was roaring deafeningly.
"Roar!"
Tatsumi was standing not far away. He drew his sword without any hesitation, and his figure was like a ghost.
At the moment before the collision with the special dangerous species.
While dodging sideways, he slashed at the dragon's neck with a knife.
In an instant.
The blade passed through the skin, tearing the muscles like a knife cutting tofu, and cut off the neck in just a blink of an eye. The ferocious dragon beast lost its support.
It also fell to the ground.
But the huge body rushed forward for several meters because of inertia before stopping, but the moment the dangerous species died.
The system prompt sound also rang in the mind of Ajuro Maru in the knife, [Ding! Detected that the special dangerous species had a strong negative emotion when dying, and gained 10,000 emotion points!
A total of 5,000 ghost powers were obtained, and 50% will be returned to the sword master! 】
As the ghost power flowed into Tatsumi's limbs, his strength was also growing at a rapid rate.
However, at this moment, he could already remain calm. After all, he had killed no less than a hundred dangerous species in the past month!
Even though most of them were dangerous species below level one, his strength had been unimaginably improved!
Seeing this, Brand on the side nodded slightly and praised, "Your strength is getting stronger and stronger now. This speed of strengthening is really incredible."
Tatsumi could only sneer at this.
"Maybe I suddenly got it."
And Brand did not delve too much into it. After all, everyone has their own secrets. "Then congratulations, but now let's drag this dangerous species back to the base. It seems that we will have another good meal tonight."
"Okay."
Tatsumi hurriedly replied.
The two walked forward, lifted up the body of the dangerous species, and turned around to rush towards the base.
When the two arrived at the base, they saw Leone standing at the entrance. When he saw the two, he couldn't help but said in surprise.
"Is this a super dangerous earth dragon? I heard that the meat of this guy is very delicious. It seems that we will have a good meal today."
Hearing this, Tatsumi also smiled and replied, "Such good ingredients, then I will cook tonight."
"That's great."
Leone couldn't help but cheer.
But it seemed that he remembered something, and hurriedly changed the subject and said, "By the way, I almost forgot to tell you two. The boss said that you two will hold a meeting immediately after you come back. It seems that there is a new task."
"Then hurry up."
Brand hurriedly replied with a high mood.
As for Tatsumi, he nodded slightly and said, "Then put the ingredients at the door of the base first, and come back to get them after the meeting."
After that,
The three of them quickly entered the base and went straight to the living room, where they saw that the people who were going to the night raid had been waiting for a long time.
After seeing the people coming, Najeshitan, who was sitting at the head, said bluntly, "Since everyone is here, let's start the meeting."
As he said that, he took out a leaflet with the night raid logo in front of everyone present, and then spoke in a deep voice.
"Recently, many civil servants in the imperial capital have been killed, but the problem is that a large number of leaflets with the night raid logo were left at the scene. I guess someone wants to frame us."
But Tatsumi asked with some doubts, "But wouldn't such a deliberate behavior be easily exposed?"
To this question, Najeshitan also responded with a gloomy expression.
"It should have been like this, but the other party was obviously well prepared, and all the targets they chose were equipped with first-class's guards, and only an organization of our strength can succeed.
In other words, the other party is an imperial weapon user with the same strength as us! In addition, those who were assassinated were all civil servants who served the country and the people, and these civil servants are also indispensable when building a new country. "
At this point.
Everyone present also understood, but in the end it was Tatsumi who spoke up, "That is to say, the other party is luring us to take action. If we take action.
Does it mean falling into their trap?"
In response, Najeshitan nodded slightly and said, "Just as you said, but according to the investigation, the person who took action was the three beast warriors under Esdeath.
And Esdeath did not participate in it, as long as that guy did not take action, there would be no problem! "
Hearing this, the people present temporarily put their minds at ease, waiting for Najeshitan's next order, and saw her slowly stand up.
She gave the order solemnly.
"There are two civil servants who may be attacked this time, so Tatsumi will be in a group with Brand, and the other group will be guarded by Akame and Raber!
Are there any problems?"
"No problem."
The people present responded in unison, and then after a simple packing, they were ready to set off on their journeys.
But before they parted.
Hill stood at the entrance, her pretty face blushing, and said, "Tatsumi, I'll wait for you to come back."
Hearing this, Maine, who was on the side, smiled evilly, "Hill, don't let this guy capture your heart! "
But Hill couldn't help but raise his hand to cover his pretty face, and whispered, "No... No..."
Tatsumi looked at the scene in front of him and didn't know what to say. He could only smile and reply, "Don't worry, we will be back soon."
After that.
Turned and left the base.
But Najeshitan, who was standing at the entrance of the base, couldn't help but sighed, "It seems that Tatsumi's charm is very extraordinary."
...
The starting point of the Grand Canal.
A large luxury passenger ship docked at the pier, the dragon ship!
Tatsumi stood at the bow, feeling the breeze blowing over the canal, but asked secretly.
"Ajuro Maru, can you sense the enemy?"
Hearing this, Ajuro Maru let go of the perception and responded immediately, "There are three guys with imperial tools in the cabin on the ship, which should be the so-called enemy you are this time. "
Tatsumi also turned his head and saw that the cabin on this luxurious dragon boat was like a magnificent small palace.
Then he replied in his heart.
"Thank you, Ajuromaru."
