Chapter 18: New Teammates

"Gozzi is dead?" Minister Earnest was shocked when he heard the news, he knew Gozzi's strength, and as the strongest member of the four Rakshasa ghosts, how difficult it was to kill him without letting him escape.

The only people who can confirm that this matter has been accomplished without mistake, as far as Earnest himself knows, are the old stubborn General Bud who is loyal to the empire and the strongest warrior of the empire Estes that he forged. Of course, Chancellor Earnest himself has a unique way of easily killing Gozzi, but it is not enough for outsiders.

Although this incident surprised him a little, Minister Earnest was not just taking office after all, but an old fox who had been in business for 2 years. He still held back the surprise in his heart, and grabbed a huge chicken leg with his fat palm to nibble.

Well, it tastes really good......

As he thought, he took another big bite.

This empire is really not worry-free, the minister said in his heart, thinking that he had recently lost weight for it, it was really unfortunate......

I don't know that I have a fat belly that is bloated compared to 2 years ago, or I don't care.

I also want to help His Majesty the Emperor naively understand the world......

He smiled grimly, propped up his chin, and thought for a moment.

The morning sun outside the window shone into the house, golden and bright, lighting up a room of light.

The slightly withered flower by the window is also desperately photosynthesizing, and it looks much more energetic when it breathes in.

"We have to send a new trainer to the elite group so that they can continue to educate them about love."

"Also to fill the vacancies of the two dead and one unaccounted for."

"I think these guys are good."

Chancellor Earnest casually glanced at a list on the table.

There are three names written on it.

Asterin, Athea, and Black Hitomi.

"Let General Estes lend me the men she brought with her." Minister Earnest said to himself, he had a hill in his chest, and he had already planned everything.

"My lord, that Bake is one of Lord Estes's men." The person who looked like a retinue on the side reminded loudly.

"Tell General Estes about my letter, tell her that the empire is short of people, and I will continue to create opportunities for her to fight, and let her lend me my men."

"However, what kind of character that guy has is still up for debate." The retinue was still hesitant.

"Don't worry, I trust General Estes." The minister waved his hand impatiently, indicating that he did not want to waste his brain cells on such a simple matter anymore.

"Lord Gozzi once said that the black pupil is the sister of the red pupil, and the sisters may have a sense of attachment together, which may be detrimental to the completion of the task." The retinue is still very unoptimistic about this list.

"That's enough, just do your job." Earnest was even more irritable, "What about the sisters, after so many years of imperial education, they should have understood a long time ago, and with so many companions dead, don't they still know that they can only rely on themselves in everything?" ”

"However, they are related by blood after all."

"Blood relationship? Are there fewer examples of fratricide? If nothing else, let's just say that this throne, how many of those princes can survive every time they are replaced? What I need is not some ridiculous task completion, all I want is to gather talents, brainwash and educate them, and make them a quick knife in my hands! Minister Earnest is confident in his ability to control, "Sisters are better, as long as one of them is educated well, the other will be reluctant to leave the elite group because of the bond between them." How easy it is! ”

Seeing that the entourage still wanted to say something, Minister Earnest added, completely sealing his mouth: "The task I assigned, I don't care about casualties, as long as it is completed." I want speed, and of course I want the best talent. The three people on this list are all talented teenagers, and only they can complete tasks for me at high speed. As for the others, it will take a few years to further their education. ”

"If there are more casualties, wouldn't it be nice to add them up, so what's the trouble?"

……

Athea, a lovely girl.

A butterfly hairpin pinned to her long brown waterfall-like hair adds to the beauty.

The big blue eyes that seem to be dripping water are always blinking and turning around flexibly.

The black sailor suit sets off the petite figure of her figure, and people can't help but have a desire to protect. It's like Natara, and Red Hitomi's protection of Black Hitomi.

She was the one who failed in the first selection and was dropped due to her outstanding ability after taking drugs for nearly three years. She is nearly invincible in the candidate group, only slightly weaker than Black Hitomi.

After all, compared to the black pupil who worked hard to meet her sister, she lacked a persistent belief, although she was also talented, but she still couldn't do that decisiveness.

According to some, it's just not a good killer.

Similarly, as a person who already has some communication problems, it took three years to establish a deep friendship with these people, but when he realized his original dream, he found that the only person who accompanied him was Black Hitomi.

The girl's spirit was slightly in a trance.

"Althea, what's wrong?" Natara, as a thoughtful boy, had easily spotted Athea's anomaly.

After the initial mission, only Black Hitomi, Athea, Silver, and Natara survived.

The reality is often cruel, and now there are only four of the original dozen partners, and two more have gone to the elite group, and it is impossible for the rest not to be envious. Besides, the remaining two people can no longer be called a group. However, after all, they are companions, and they are only envious, not jealous, and at the same time they still have deep blessings.

"That's it...... Ignorance...... I don't know...... When are we ...... Talent...... to see you again. Athea's words were a little choppy, and it was a bit embarrassing for her to be introverted about these sensational parting words. As she spoke, Elcia shed a few crystal tears.

"Heh, don't worry, we'll catch up with you right away, isn't it just to become an elite? What is it like to cry and cry, Natara and I are not incompetent, and we will not be unable to see each other. Silver pretended not to care, but the redness and swelling of her eyes betrayed her feelings.

"We'll be waiting for you." Black Hitomi also resisted the urge to cry and gave her partner the most sincere blessings. However, this is a chance to see my sister, the one who loves the most, so that the black pupil will not cry. Black Hitomi will dress up beautifully, so that my sister knows what Black Hitomi misses.

"Alright, stop rambling." The bald instructor with a monocle interjected, "Hurry up and report to the elite group." Don't lose my people! Let those in the elite group see my level of education! ”

"Yes, Instructor!" Black Hitomi and Aithia replied in unison. Still, Athea's words stuttered slightly, and even in this daily language, she couldn't speak proficiently.

What an introverted kid.

Asterin, with glittering blonde hair. Typical Western aristocratic looks. Always wearing a golden dress and a red battle robe, I don't know if it's an ancient tradition of that family. Since several rebellions in the West, the various families have become intertwined and indistinguishable from each other. There are so many spies from other families in every family. Even if the number of spies in some families has exceeded half of the total number of people in the family, it is impossible to say whether that family exists or not.

It is precisely because of all kinds of messy family relationships that he has had little sense of attachment to the family since he was a child.

He knows better than anyone the ugly faces of those people. Since he was a child, some people have taken advantage of his money, and some people have scolded him for being a mongrel, and even whipped him.

He knew it was useless to tell people about it, and he knew how rotten the family was. He is always hiding his scars from being seen, maintaining what little self-esteem he has left. Sometimes he hides in a corner and takes the trouble to practice his swordsmanship. That continental sword technique that every family member knows. The long-term isolation has made his body continue to strengthen, and his ability to resist blows and endurance have also increased significantly, but it has also caused his personality to be withdrawn.

Although it is common, except for those who have seen him use the knife, no one knows the horror of the knife technique after practicing it to the extreme.

Those who knew, those who had made him angry and bullied him, were now lying in coffins. After that, he felt the joy of fighting even more.

That's not the pleasure that simple words can portray. It was a struggle of courage to truly enjoy everything between life and death. He believes in the law of the nomads of the north - the law of the jungle!

Ever since taking revenge on his family, he is tired of intriguing in power struggles, and what he wants is fighting. So he began to travel all over the world, constantly challenging the local strong, learning the sword skills of various places by the way, and then integrating them with his own sword skills, and collecting their masterpieces.

In the West, he has already made a great reputation, I don't know when, he began to use two golden double knives, his double knife technique is known for its strange speed, I don't know how many strong people have fallen under his sword, but it is known that he prefers to use a bow to shoot the head with a double knife. Nearly two-thirds of the dead powerhouses were pierced through the heads by him with sharp arrows, and I don't know what kind of peculiar hobby he had. As a result, he also received a title: "Headshot Maniac".

There is another widely circulated thing, the "headshot maniac" always likes evil smiles, and the corners of his evil smile mouth are always full of inexplicable meaning. I don't know what the reason for this is.

However, according to the grapevine, this guy was broken when he was a child, and he developed this virtue. It's nonsense, of course, but people seem to like it. There are so many people discussing.

Until one day, people suddenly find that Austin is no longer visible, because he has come to the Empire.

Why? The reason is simple.

As a battle maniac who is willing to deal with battles, after hearing about the powerful force of the Empire, he yearns for it, and comes to the Empire to find the value of his life.

When you meet the strong, you become friends, and the weak are killed immediately!

He remained invincible until he met the Lord.

A woman as powerful as a god.

How flowing that long ice-blue hair was.

When the surging arrogance of the frozen world shook his long hair to scatter, the evil smile that appeared on the corner of Estes's mouth deeply attracted Austin.

The same character is more profound and powerful than himself.

This is the God I worship!

From that moment on, Astin was determined to follow Master Estes.

Of course, he was joined by a stout man named Daedas and a petite pseudo-nyu. But how could these two fools be Asterin's opponents, from the moment he made up his mind, he became even more powerful and terrifying than before.

The position of Lord Estes' follower is my Asterin's!

His outstanding abilities and violent personality really won him the favor of Estes.

But at the same time, it also received the attention of Minister Earnest.

As such a young talent, it must be well forged in the Imperial Steelmaking Furnace.

Besides, he is not a subordinate of Estes, let him do something for the empire first, presumably Estes will not have any complaints.

The empire was so chaotic that it made me lose a lot of weight.

Chancellor Earnest took another hard bite of the drumstick. I was silently thinking about something.

"Although all three of them are problem people, they are really capable." Minister Earnest muttered and continued to nibble on the chicken legs, "It shouldn't be a problem for them to make it up." ”
