Chapter 50: Temptation
It was cold, the scene was cold, the air seemed to freeze in such a cold atmosphere, there was not a trace of wind blowing, no one dared to move, and the corpses on the ground reminded them of what kind of crazy events had just happened here, which was an excitement that had not happened for hundreds of years.
There is a good saying, the older a person is, the more timid he is, according to this sentence, cultivators are definitely a group of people who are particularly timid, they have lived for a long time, much longer than ordinary people, and they have another shortcoming compared to ordinary people, they have no afterlife, and when a cultivator embarks on the path of cultivation, he dies and has no chance of rebirth.
So they cherish their lives more than ordinary people, although there are conflicts in peacetime, and even those fatal calculations, but such naked killings, or killing so many people at one time, has not been seen for a hundred years.
At this moment, the fat man is still standing there, although his figure has not changed, the blood-dripping sword and his body are still a little unworthy, but this time no one dares to laugh at him, not even laughing at him in his heart, the other party has shown strong strength, not the object of their ridicule.
"Okay, let's all disperse, if you know them, you can come and collect the corpse, if not, notify the corpse collection team." After saying that, the fat man put away his sword and turned to leave.
"It seems that they are much more cunning than we imagined, and they did it without hesitation, aren't they afraid that their actions will be exposed?"
"What's scary, at that point in time, no one is ready to do it except them, and by the time we realize what happened, it's over, even if we want to do it without any evidence, it's impossible, after all, they're strong."
The cold wind finally rolled at this time, causing the two heads hiding upstairs in the distance to shrink, and I don't know whether they were afraid of the cold weather or frightened by the cold-blooded scene just now, but anyway, the two people who retracted their heads were not peeping over there.
This world, known as the city of sages, has strict laws, and those who obey the law can be perfectly protected in this city, and everything about him is absolutely safe, but since it is a law, then there must be a flaw, and only being caught is a crime, or only being caught is a crime that can be punished.
And how to catch each other's crimes in this city is a very technical problem.
"Forget it, report it to the above, anyway, we are only two people who receive salaries, there is no need to bother with this kind of thing."
"Although you said it, but I'm afraid, those people above will wait until the back to let us die, as if we drove them."
Although the crowd around the castle had dispersed at this time, the corpses on the ground had not yet ushered in the arrival of the corpse collection team, and the cold corpses and dried blood were here to announce the most serious warning to everyone, but for the predecessors of those corpses, such an ending was the most ironic.
They thought that they had fallen in love with the big guys, and relying on the power of the big guys, they could not only improve their strength rapidly, but also gain unprecedented status, but they never thought about one thing, how big the big guys like them thought they could be.
"Really, how did you come so soon."
"Isn't that exactly what you want, you want to have a good time, and they send it to the door."
"Ha, it would be nice if it was really a good activity, you also saw that those guys hired just a group of cannon fodder, cannon fodder who can't even do physical activity, and I feel even more uncomfortable when I cut them."
It's like when you're hungry, if you only eat a small thing, you won't be able to suppress your hunger temporarily, but because that little bit of food further stimulates the hunger in your body and makes you want to eat more.
"There will be opportunities later, and the strength of the enemy will be stronger at that time."
Helpless, although Ilya had long expected that someone would come to test them, after all, when the curse lord existed, the forces had been balanced for a long time, and they had divided their interests among each other, this was not something that a few of their newcomers could take over casually, not to mention them, even if it was the heir designated by the curse lord, they might not be able to take over.
A force that can divide the interests of one less party is a good thing no matter how you look at it.
And Ilya Although they seem to be very powerful, much stronger than the curse lord, but the other forces are not afraid, at least their leaders are not afraid, they do not think that their organization will be destroyed by Ilya, although their actions infringe on Ilya's rights and interests, but there is no evidence to prove that they did it, as said before, it is not a crime if they are not caught.
In the final analysis, they just rely on their huge power and have enough cannon fodder to use, and bully that there is no power on the other side.
"Then I really wish that day would come sooner, I'm very hungry right now."
So.
"Your wish will come true, not long after."
Not long after this, only six days passed, and the next group of troublemakers arrived, and this time the quality was much higher than the last one, and their excuse was finally not like the last time that there was a problem with the quality of the product.
"Please come out immediately, we are the guards, and we need to investigate the case of torture and murder that happened here six days ago."
It was the people who came to collect the corpses, although their official statement was that they should be the city guard defense force, but as mentioned before, this place is more inclined to individual problem solving, and government violence is only responsible for the final killing, so they still collect corpses when they appear.
"The people inside, please come out immediately to cooperate with the investigation, we represent the will of the lord, if you don't come out again, you will be used against the lord."
There was no reaction, although it was really desirable inside.
"Ilya, since everyone has said so, then let me go out for a trip, and let me pay my respects to their lord." Presumably, it was a tribute by chopping the group into eighteen pieces or chopping them into meat sauce.
"There's no need, now we don't have to clash with them, they can only call outside, and they can't come in." The words of the people out there are true, but they are only bluffing.
They represent the will of the lord, at least in the propaganda that it is written, and if they do not follow their orders, it can also be considered a provocation to the lord, but this is only the surface, no lord will feel that he has been slapped in the face because his dog is out in trouble, and that kind of brain-dead will not get such a position even if he inherits.
"It's still a temptation, a temptation that doesn't have any combat meaning, if you don't want to arouse the fighting spirit in your heart in vain like last time, it's better to take a rest."
And it's better not to be disturbed if the experiment is going well.
