After receiving an affirmative look, Mayn closed her eyes and fell into a deep sleep.
She had used up every ounce of strength in her body. Every muscle in her body had been squeezed dry, and her entire body was gradually recovering under the nourishment of the wine.
"Forget about tonight. I'll rest for a day tomorrow. If the burden is heavy, the right path will be bent. This is only natural.”
" I have to give Gozic a good order tomorrow. I have to follow up on the various things used for recuperation. I can't keep using the wine god liquid for nourishment. The child still has to eat more to grow up. Oh, I'll take care of the meat of the dangerous species.”
Narrowing his eyes, he hugged Mayne horizontally around his waist and fell into the soft quilt, falling asleep.
……
……
……
It was night, and it was silent. Demons and monsters roamed the earth, and the dangerous species lived in the mountains. All kinds of cattle, horses, and snakes were spying on them. The incident of the bandits being killed during the day had already become a story that spread to the ears of many residents and newcomers.
This group of newcomers consisted of adventurers, mercenaries, thieves, and bandits. They were a mix of good and bad, and there were many of them. This group could be said to be the most active group in the empire. As long as something happened, they would be like cats that had smelled a mouse. Saliva flowed from the corners of their mouths as they pounced on their target crazily.
They were moths. Even if it was a fire pit, they would still jump into it.
They pursued fame and fortune. No matter what they were about to face, they held onto a glimmer of hope.
Compared to a long time, they preferred to fight day and night. Their muscles were stuffed into their heads. How much intelligence did they have?
This group of insects was constantly moving under the cover of the night. The border troops were lax in their management of the people within the empire. These newcomers were like maggots in their bones, sticking to the place where Rayen had landed last night. They kept exploring and were all having beautiful dreams.
They wanted to be like the discoverers, carrying boxes of golden coins back to the capital, buying a piece of land, marrying a rich lady, and then having a few children. From then on, they would not have to do anything else but enjoy the happiness of their family. They would go to Wu Mountain with their beautiful wives and daughters every day and enjoy the extreme moon together.
Goziqi himself was sitting in the tavern, surrounded by soldiers. He was holding a large barrel of draft beer, constantly pouring it into his stomach. His stomach swelled up, and the alcohol in his throat spewed out from his mouth. From time to time, he would burp.
He let out a sigh of relief and twisted his body. He stared at the shadow under him and muttered to himself.
"How is the progress of the preparation for that plan?”
He sat quietly on the chair, showing an expression of extreme enjoyment, as if he was waiting for something. His index finger kept tapping on the table, and he looked extremely impatient.
After about three minutes, Gozic's face trembled, and the inside of his clothes trembled slightly. A very small sound came, a sound that no one could hear.
Goziqi seemed to have heard it clearly. He slammed the table and said loudly,
"How many people are there?"
"Who is my next collaborator?”
Every time he finished speaking, the inside of his clothes would vibrate. This kind of alchemical communication device was extremely rare in this place, and only people who could afford it could use it with one hand. Just knowing the existence of this thing was already very rare.
The inside of his clothes trembled again, and Goziqi smiled.
"Oh, I understand, Minister. I was saying that you don't have a single expert around you who can contend with Great General Bude.”
"You, are very afraid, right? Other than eating meat all day long, nothing could eliminate this deadly fear.”
"I understand this plan, I understand very well!”
"Loyalty has to be cultivated from a young age. I don't expect, um…I don't expect to train any good material.”
"Because I'm a piece of mud myself!!!”
"Ha…hahahahaha!”
At first glance, Gozic looked like he was drunk. His cheeks were rosy, but upon closer inspection, he was pale and had lost his vitality. It should be the emptiness caused by the anesthesia of alcohol. Below him, there were two village women…tasting the flute.
This was a very elegant thing, Goziqi thought. He was still talking to himself like a drunkard.
If they weren't Goziqi's men, they wouldn't have stood by the side and looked at their commander as if he was a ghost.
They all knew that the drunk Gozi Qi, who had a look of enjoyment on his face, was actually not drunk at all, nor did he feel any sense of comfort from the two village women under him.
He was talking to someone, to a mysterious person, to a man who should be sitting in the middle of the capital and eating meat.
Because of this, they looked at Goziqi as if he was a ghost. This was the only way to make him happy. A tiger's smile was the scariest, and fear was the scariest. Therefore, they would only see ghosts and look at their commander in horror. This would make him happy, and they wouldn't make Goziqi unhappy and get anything on him.
Goziqi raised the large barrel that was about half full of beer. He raised his head and drank most of the beer in the barrel before exhaling heavily.
"New plan!" he said with a ruddy face. I like this plan. There are ninety-eight children! Ninety-eight children who had passed the screening and stood out! They were a group of people who would be very strong in the future!”
"This feeling is really wonderful.”
"Don't you think so?"
Goziqi looked at the soldiers on the side.
The soldier who was being stared at by him was scared out of his wits. A drop of cold sweat flowed down his neck, entering through the hem of his shirt and sliding down his back, making him shiver.
"Yes…Yes, Your Excellency is right. Nothing can make me happier than this!" The soldier said with a trembling voice.!”
As such, there was nothing happier than this!
Therefore, Goziqi's face was full of smiles. His face was curled up, and his eagle-like eyes suddenly became as docile as a pug.
He said happily,"
"Yes, sir! You're right! You're too smart…Oh, how did you get so smart?”
The soldier heaved a sigh of relief. The terrifying officer was finally happy. Tonight was too scary. How could there be such a terrifying person?
How could Gozi Qi be so terrifying? He looked like a devil.
" Ha…Hahahaha!!"
"You're so smart. How do you know what I'm talking about? Well, you were eavesdropping on my conversation with the minister, weren't you?”
The soldier was shocked. His face was full of an expression as if his parents had died. He opened his mouth and said loudly,
"Me!"
The fear on his face froze as he spat out the character. A katana had already pierced into his mouth, and blood gushed out like a tide. The curse poison of the Emperor Murasame entered the soldier's body along his neck.
"Yes, it's best for those who know to die!”Gozi Qi shouted loudly. He slapped the heads of the two flute boys and turned his face to the remaining soldiers. He laughed and said,"Don't blame me. If you want to blame someone, you can only blame that dead sow of yours. She actually spent thousands of gold coins to send you to my side to learn some sword techniques?”
"Is she crazy or blind?”
"Such a plan, such a top secret, and you're so smart. How can I not kill you?”
"How can I not kill you?"
"Give me a reason to let you live!”
The surrounding soldiers were all as silent as ice. They all understood that Goziqi was killing a chicken to show the monkey.
Anyone who obstructed the minister's plan would die immediately!
Just like Gozi Qi said, give him a reason to live?
Ge Ziqi muttered to himself. He glanced at the Xiao Pinzi below him and kicked them away with disgust. He cursed,
"Most importantly, you're not my man!”
"You actually want to go home and inherit your territory?”
"Then, you can only die."
Just like that, he spent the night in fear.
Early in the morning, the cold wind blew.
The scorching sun penetrated the thick clouds in the sky, leaving only a faint white light. The air was so cold that it was unpresentable, and every early morning worker was puffing white smoke.
One thing could subdue another. Goziqi could be so arrogant in front of some people, but that didn't mean he was really powerful.
The people stuck in the middle had bad temperaments at all times. They needed to vent their anger. No one would ask if they killed one or two people. It was the same in this world.
When the clock reached 8 o'clock, Rein opened his eyes. A fragrant scent wafted from his nose and mouth. His pink hair covered his face. Mayn was like a four-cornered fixator as she tied him up with all four limbs.
Rein pried open her delicate wrist, removed her feet from his belly, and stood up.
He opened the window, and a gust of cold wind blew in, flooding the entire room like a dam. Rein stretched his back, opened his mouth wide, and took a deep breath. Then, he exhaled a long breath of turbid air, which carried a little bit of the mixed substances in his body, and spat them out.
The Sword of Damocles that Rein could only see hung in the sky like a ghost. It seemed to be even more dilapidated, rotten, and unbearable, but Rein knew that the World Instinct was undergoing a transformation that would take hundreds of millions of years at an extremely fast speed. As for the way, he had no less than hundreds of thousands of guesses. However, judging from the Sword of Damocles that represented the pure power of the World Instinct that had appeared in the sky.
His strength was transforming very quickly.
Rein knew very well what this meant.
"The people of this world will become stronger. As the world transforms, their strength will increase, and their lifespans will increase.”
"This includes the super dangerous species.”
Rein groaned. He knocked on his forehead and pondered. He was using the fastest way to regain his strength. Under the premise of not harming the body, it was impossible to use the highest grade wine to activate the muscles any faster.
Unless there was an expert willing to help him.
This was possible in the past, but now…it seemed that only World Instinct could be of use in this aspect.
"Gozki, come in. It's not a good habit to eavesdrop outside.”
Rein raised his eyebrows. With a creak, the wooden door behind him opened, and a clean Goziqi appeared.
Goziqi stood in front of Rein. He looked very formal, but the smell on his body…There was no way to hide it.
The faint smell of fresh blood wafted from his face.
"Did he kill someone? Hmm, most people don't need the highest ranking officer in this place to do it. He should have…wanted to kill someone.”Just as Rein was thinking about this, Gozki spoke,
"Mr. Rein, Minister Orneste has already decided to appoint you as the commander of the 1,000-man army under the direct command of the Imperial Capital. Due to the General's eyes and ears, he is unable to appoint you as a general. Only after you have accumulated the corresponding military achievements can you use these things to seal General Bude's mouth. At that time, you will definitely get a satisfactory position.”
"Minister Ernest needs talents, especially experts! Look at me, I'm in an important position and have the position of commander, but I rarely go to the battlefield.”
Goziqi raised the Emperor Artifact, Murasame, in his hand.
He said in a low voice," This includes the Empire's supreme treasures and the 48 monarch relics. You can choose any one of them. General Bude cannot interfere with this. After all, you are a strong person and are qualified to have a monarch relic.”
"No one will complain about having too much money, and no one will think that having too much power is not a good thing. When they have countless gold coins and the right to decide the life and death of others, they will love these things.”
Rein stared at Gozi Qi as he continued to explain all kinds of things about the Emperor relics. The abilities of each Emperor relic became vivid in his mouth. Legendary stories were thrown out from his mouth. The super dangerous species in the icy plains, the lava mouth in the crater, all these things were weaved together to form a story.
However, Rein just stared at him without saying a word.
As Gozic spoke, he felt that something was wrong. What was going on?
Aren't you tempted by such good conditions?
As long as one said the word, a large piece of land, soldiers under one's control, high prestige, and everything else would be at one's fingertips.
Aren't you tempted?
Rein chuckled. Gozki thought that this was a sign that he had already agreed. It was no wonder. With just a word, he could get all kinds of resources in his hands. However, Minister Orneste was really lacking people.
He needed to murder the old emperor and establish a new regime. This was already self-evident among the nobles in the capital, and this was not the minister's goal.
After a few seconds, Rein was still staring at him, breathing in the fresh air outside the window.
The air had replaced all the things that had been rotten in his blood for a night, and Rein was filled with a comfortable feeling.
Seeing that Rein was still so indifferent, Goziqi became a little anxious.
He decided to add one last fire.
"Mr. Rein, these benefits were promised by Minister Orneste. There's no need to doubt his abilities. In the Empire, a minister's words are true.”
After muttering to himself, Goziqi said,""The minister needs to get rid of the old emperor and make the new emperor the emperor. The new emperor is only one year old, and it's easy to control him, but this is not the minister's goal.”
"Controlling the entire empire is the minister's true method, but his goal is still unknown. Even I don't know what he's thinking.”
"But the only thing that is clear is the variables inside! The strongest person in the empire, Great General Bude, was the biggest variable!”
Gozi Qi's face was covered in sweat. He couldn't be sure what the ministers would do to him if Rein didn't agree.
Knowing too much would definitely kill him.
Those who leaked the secret would die even more miserably.
Goziqi was gambling, a shocking gamble!
