Hearing the sound of dense footsteps behind him, Isu couldn't help but look back, only to see a small group of Silent Blade soldiers hurrying in.
"Captain Benson, what's going on?"
Yi Su called, and after the leader of the team saw Yi Su's appearance clearly, he slowed down: "It's Yi Su, our squad leader was killed in the town, and the killer also left a blood book at the scene, I have to take someone over to take a look." ”
"You Silent Blades aren't having a good time here."
"Who said no, I have to go to the town quickly, lest the scene be destroyed by someone with a heart, let's talk."
Captain Benson said as he walked, obviously very anxious, said a few words, and quickened his pace to keep up with the other soldiers, and the young men of the two militia regiments who were on guard next to him heard this, looked at each other, and followed with a curious face, leaving Isu speechless.
This Captain Benson is not a radical in the Silent Blade, but belongs to a more moderate faction, and his attitude towards the Sharp Arrow Chamber of Commerce is also very friendly, although it is a thankless task to lead the team to the Rift Valley Territory to camp this time, but it is also fought for from above, otherwise if the radical people are stationed in the Rift Valley Territory, they will definitely deliberately embarrass the caravan of the Sharp Arrow Chamber of Commerce.
"Looks like things are quite troublesome."
Isu sighed again, when he left Silent City this time, he heard that Silent City's activities in the Rift Valley Territory were hindered by local forces, and he had to withdraw most of his intelligence forces and replace them with a Silent Blade soldier stationed outside Rift Town, but he didn't expect that only half a month had passed, and the contradictions between the Silent City side and the local forces in Rift Valley Town had intensified to such an extent.
"Meow, Uncle Ben wants to see who is looking for trouble."
The doctor snorted dissatisfiedly, in his opinion, Silent City is Sawyer's industry, and he is Sawyer's partner, so Silent City is of course his industry, and now that someone is looking for trouble in Silent City, he naturally can't stand idly by.
"Ysso, let's go first, and you'll ...... Hey? ”
The doctor was halfway through his sentence when he suddenly whispered and "meowed" to Tess, and the two kittens immediately ran into the grass on both sides of the road, leaving only Isu and Willy standing in the middle of the road, not knowing what was happening.
"What?"
Isu muttered, thought about it, and simply walked to the town to see what trouble Captain Benson was in, he was also from Silent City, and if he could help, he would help.
However, as soon as he took two steps, Isu saw a person walking out of Rift Valley, this person was wearing a hood and couldn't see his face clearly, but his body shape made Isu feel a sense of familiarity, and after a while, a name blurted out: "Nishizawa? ”
"Ysso?"
Nishizawa's gloomy voice came from under the hood, and then he lifted the hood, first looked Willy up and down, and then looked at Izu: "Your summons?" Looks like you're doing a good job. ”
"Willy is my partner," Izu's voice also lowered, and he looked at Nishizawa with a gloomy face: "That person in the town, you killed it?" ”
"Yes and what."
Nishizawa pursed his lips, obviously not taking this question to heart, but looked at Isu with interest: "Looking at your appearance, you have gained a lot of benefits, what's the matter, you want to be a dog for your master?" ”
"Keep your mouth clean, or I wouldn't mind teaching you how to behave."
Isu's eyes narrowed slightly, and the hands caged in his sleeves also held a card each, but he was really angry in his heart, ready to teach Nishizawa a traitor.
"What's the matter? Still want to do it? ”
Seeing Isu's small movements, Nishizawa's hand also held the dagger, his body pressed down slightly, and the breath of the whole person became like a poisonous snake that chose people to devour.
Seriously, Nishizawa has always looked down on Izu, who chose to stay in Silent City, and even had some pity, in his opinion, Izu, who chose to stay, had given up the minimum dignity of a traverser, gave up the ambition to achieve a career, and was willing to abide by the rules set by his predecessors and contribute to the foundation of his predecessors.
For Nishizawa, everyone is a traverser, so why should I listen to the words of "forerunners" like El, Ah Ye, and even Sawyer? Why should you join someone else's forces and be someone else's subordinate? And what disgusted Nishizawa the most was the surveillance of them by the Silent City.
In his opinion, this is the Silent City headed by the three traverser predecessors, which is restricting them, limiting their strength development, restricting what they do, and at the same time, it is also a kind of fear of their "newcomers", afraid of their potential, afraid that after they grow up and establish their own power, they will compare the careers of these "seniors" to them, or even swallow their careers!
In the eyes of Isu and the other newcomers, there is nothing wrong with this kind of behavior, and this so-called "surveillance" is more like a kind of guardianship to some extent.
The last time the newcomers reunited, Lina and the others had mentioned that when they had just left the Silent City to go out, Lina's team had a conflict with a rich merchant, and when they were taught a lesson by the rich merchant's guards, the rich merchant had a crooked mind and wanted to "take Lina and Anna for himself", and as for Carl and Auston, they were ready to be sold as slaves.
Just when Lina and the four were in despair, the assassins who had been tracking them made a move, and the two high-level assassins from Silent City easily solved the rich merchant's guards, and by the way, gave the rich merchant a lesson that he would never forget, and then smiled at Lina and the others and disappeared again.
At the end of their "novice period", the two Assassins who had been in charge of "watching" them also reappeared, smiling goodbye to them.
Therefore, in the eyes of Yi Su and others, the behavior of the Silent City side is more like a kind of senior's support to the juniors, a kind of giving without asking for anything in return, and even some like a parent's love for their children, providing them with knowledge and resources, silently protecting them, until they have the ability to wander independently, and then let them go.
It is precisely because of this that they look down on Nishizawa very much, even Auston, who has been helping Nishizawa speak, after Nishizawa defected, his attitude turned 180° and scolded Nishizawa.
Silent City gives you food, clothing, teaches you knowledge, gives you resources, helps you through the most difficult time in the early stages of the journey, and even to some extent, helps you plan the most suitable development route for you, but you just say go, and even turn against Silent City? Words like white-eyed wolf and natural anti-bone all add up, but that's it, right?
