Chapter XVIII: The Impending Assassination
Well, although the world tree of this world does grow a little crooked, it is not crooked to the point that Lunas is unacceptable, after all, although the calorific value of oil is higher, it is difficult to explore, the extraction cost is not low, and the initial investment is large, which is not a good fuel for areas without a large industrial scale. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info in the original time and space because of the large number of diesel engine battleships put into use that they were really valued by those consortia, carried out large-scale exploration, and further converted into civilian resources.
In this world, due to the deformed version of the Emperor's ability to break the balance, the industrial scale is pitiful, and the cold ice weapons used by ordinary soldiers have a few guns, and Lunas also took the time to get one to study. When I took it apart, I found that this gun, which looked very futuristic and sci-fi, was actually driven by a high-pressure spring! In other words, it is just a high-pressure crossbow, and because the processing technology of the spring is not high, this gun will not do any damage to the armor once it exceeds twenty meters. Come to think of it, if a group of soldiers didn't even have to hold AK-47s and flintlock muskets to play the tactics of lining up to shoot, they would be able to kill most of the emperors...... People's crazy superstition about the power of the emperor made Lunas always feel that the 'fate' of this world was at work, after all, over the years, the 'heretics' have always found something to discover......
"According to the client's account, Oka received a large amount of bribes from Gamaru as an oil merchant," Leonai continued, "and then every time Gamaru committed a crime, Oka sought a scapegoat for him, and my betrothed was wrongfully framed and sentenced to death for this......
'Isn't it just corruption......?' Lunas thought helplessly, there was no way to completely eradicate this kind of thing, because even without money, everyone still has their own preferences. There was once an anime about a black TC that said that TC officials embezzled more than $50 million a year, and Chinese netizens said that this was questioning the competence of Chinese officials...... But is China really in chaos? Without any prejudice, the ability to feed a population of 1.5 billion people, no matter how badly it is, is not possessed by any other government in the world. Greed is not necessarily a sin sometimes, but incompetence is an eternal sin.
"This is the commission for this mission...... Leonay said, taking out a small bag, which was heavy, and the moment it was placed on the table, there was a sound of metal colliding.
"This seems to be a bit much...... "Looking at the remuneration in front of him, Lunas frowned a little, he knew very well the purchasing power of gold coins in this world, so many gold coins, although they were only gilded, it was too much for an ordinary person, and those who could afford to pay so much money would never be used as a scapegoat......
"There's a smell of illness in her......" Leonay's voice was filled with anger, "it must have been made by constantly selling her flesh......
"How could it be ......" The more he lived in the imperial capital, the more Tazmi could feel the crushing despair.
"Is the situation decided?" Najeta asked, she already knew the name of Oka for a long time, and she wanted to make sure if it was a trap that had been carefully prepared for the night attack.
"I went to confirm it myself, and I was guilty!" Leonay's words were murderous.
"Good! The commission for the night raid was accepted," Najeta decided, lighting a cigarette, "and there is no need for such wrecked wregs in the new country, let heaven punish it!" β
"It's easy to solve the oil merchant Gamaru, Oka is a tricky guy......" Leonai said her worries, she was actually not worried about defeating or even killing Oka , but this is the imperial capital, not a gladiatorial arena, once the noise is too big or it takes too long, it will attract the garrison of the imperial capital, and it is definitely not interesting to be besieged by hundreds or even thousands of guards......
"Oka is usually accompanied by a group of guards when he is on duty, and he is a very vigilant guy. When he is not on duty, he goes to the busy street near the palace to drink, and the security around the palace is very strict, which is very dangerous for the red pupil who has been issued a wanted warrant......" Najeta analyzed.
"Here, here! I haven't been issued a wanted warrant yet! Leonay hurriedly raised his hand to show his presence.
"How about waiting for Main and them to come back?" Compared to Leonay, who has always been enthusiastic, Red Hitomi's thinking is more cautious.
"But they don't know when they'll be back, do they?" Tazmi didn't want to lose this good opportunity to take the initiative, so he quickly said, "Then let's complete this task!" β
"You mean it's up to you two newcomers to kill Okka?" Najeta glanced at Lunas, who was already yawning a little while listening there, although she was still a little worried about the young man Tazmi, but she was still relatively relieved about the strength of Lunas, a veteran who had begun to know how to restrain her breath, and made a decision at the moment, "Okay! Red Pupil and Tazmi are going to wipe out the oil merchant Gamaru, and as for Okka, leave it to Leonay and Lunas! β
"Yes!" Everyone responded.

"That's the bustling street where Oka is often seen." Leonay took Lunas to a bustling shopping street, which made Lunas have to sigh once again that the country's leadership was absolutely amused by the country's leadership to make the gap between the rich and the poor so exaggerated.
"This time the main thing is to cultivate the experience of newcomers, and in case of accidents, immediately abandon the task and retreat!" Leonay still admonished with some unease, "The map is already in your head, right?" β
"Well, I remember ......" Lunas lied at this point, and even if he did, it was doomed to be useless, and Lunas's sense of direction was definitely a naked tragedy......
PS: Before you know it, it's 300,000 words...... Having said that, is the author who can write so many words without breaking the update? I know they all want to deny me now, but for now, bear with me and finish nagging, the core of what I want to say is...... Ask for recommendation votes and reward local tyrants!
