Chapter 53: Mission

If Brunei and the Bald Head had been more in contact with human settlements such as the villages of the Empire, they would have been able to perceive that a very unusual event had taken place, and that another anomalous event was brewing silently, and that would often appear in people's mouths.

But there are no ifs in this world. They don't know, and may never know, that things that two people who have lived in the empire for sixteen and twenty-six years, respectively, have never heard of or imagined, are happening as they cross the mountains.

Empire used to seem like a generalized concept, and it didn't seem to have much real to the people who lived in it. Each city has a lord who theoretically owns the entire city and the vast territory around it, and under him, every village outside the city has a mage who holds the position of village chief.

Most of the time, the common people directly accept their leadership, and the capital and the emperor are naturally admired by everyone, but what is the capital like? What kind of person is the emperor? Most people can't answer these questions, and of course it's hard to have any real feeling.

However, at this moment, the empire is like a behemoth that has awakened from its slumber, and its scattered bodies are connected by invisible silk threads, and under the command of the brain, they begin to act in unison, completely as a whole.

The members of the Magic Administration Bureau, which is scattered throughout the city, put up huge announcements all over the city, and put the propaganda in the hands of the city lord in the middle of the way, but if the city lord refuses or even just shirks for any reason, the next day his new son or nephew or any other relative, will honestly do as the empire asks.

Fortunately, there are very few city lords who are so unknown, and the grassroots nobles of the empire have not yet changed. And in each village, the village chiefs and mages who were assigned to manage and handle all kinds of things in the village did not have anyone who disobeyed the imperial decrees. They all gathered everyone together in the evening, when the village was relatively idle, and gave orders from above.

The terrible administrative efficiency of the Empire, which made everywhere else tremble, was indisputably manifested in this moment. Only two days after the emperor said the words "Order No. 2" in the capital, this order has become a hot topic in the whole territory of the empire, in the streets and alleys, peddlers and pawns, no matter where and no matter who it is, everyone knows and is full of interest.

The Emperor, the legendary Emperor, the sole ruler of the Empire, is supreme. In other words, he was the kind of big man that most of the Empire's subjects could not reach. It was this emperor who personally made a promise to his people.

That's right, "promise", today, after these five hundred years have passed, he, the emperor of the empire, will show his power for all subjects of the empire, and guard the safety of every subject of the empire from the hands of demons.

People indulge in fantasies about the story of the promise.

The Emperor will stand in the midst of the vast Praetorian Guard, armed with a scepter as brilliant as the sun, and dressed in the darkest robes in the world—the armor of those soldiers reflects the superimposed light of both the scepter and the sun, and even the blindest blind man will not be able to look in that direction—and recite the most bizarre royal secret incantation, and the black smoke that originally rushed like a landslide—the demons, like the sea crashing into the embankment, roared and rolled, and finally had to return to the place where they came from.

Or, the emperor would walk out of the Forbidden City alone, out of the capital, and into the farthest frontier. Along the way, he was like the most ordinary old farmer, and no one would give him extra attention. Only before reaching the frontier did he meet a girl with bright eyes and bright teeth and a smile as sweet as honey, and warned him that the man-eating demon was roaming the neighborhood. However, the emperor did not back down, and came to the demon with the girl who could not reassure him, and chanted the legendary spell of legend.

And so on, everyone may have a version of the legend in their mind, but in general it is roughly similar.

The Emperor really exists, and he will show his power to protect them. Just thinking about this is enough to make every ordinary person in the empire excited.

If Brunei and the bald man hadn't left their homeland because they were wanted, they probably wouldn't have been any different from any old farmer who was talking in the fields about the mysterious camera of the Emperor's mighty power. However, as I said before, there are no ifs in this world, and they don't even have a chance to hear the news.

[Ah, it's boring.] 】

The straw hat on Brunei's head and the cloth on his body were not enough to block the scorching sunlight, and his skin, which was unusually pale because he had not walked out for a long time, also turned red and brown, especially his hands and bare forearms, which were already so dark that they looked like another human race. But he was very happy when he saw the color of his hands, because at least it was no longer the flesh red that made him feel uncomfortable when he saw it when the skin was about to fall off a few days ago.

The bald head, who had been driving the way not far in front of him, turned around again to confirm that he had not been separated from him, and for more than a month, this behavior had become a subconscious action, and it was also a tacit understanding between the two. After nodding at Brunei, who met his eyes, the bald head also saw Brunei's hand, which was obviously different from other places, and said apologetically: "I should have brought a few more pairs of gloves." ”

Brunei's gaze swept over his bald head holding a machete and wearing a pair of strange fingerless gloves, but his gaze did not stop on it, and shook his head with a smile: "How did you know that you would meet me then?" ”

[Ah, I said, it's really boring.] 】

The bald head also smiled, and as he spoke, Brunei had already caught up with him who had stopped talking, so he turned his head, glanced ahead, and had a general impression of the terrain behind him, and then looked carefully at the ground, guarding against stones, pits, and creatures that were not very friendly to humans that might pop up at any moment, and said, "Yes." When I got my gloves ready, I never imagined that I would be walking with people on the road in the future. After all, my seniors told me that it was impossible. ”

Brunei nodded and responded with a smile: "Hmm." ”

"I'm bored!Can't you say something new!] How many times have you all repeated it!]

Brunei, who had temporarily suspended the conversation with the bald head, finally sighed softly and said slowly in his heart: "We are very tired. And it's hot. Maybe you don't know that it's hard for humans to think in this state. ”

[Who said I don't know, anyway, I also participated in the donkey friend group back then-hmph, by the way, you don't understand. You ridiculously backward natives...... I said, "Boy, your intelligence is as high as 90, shouldn't you be the type who can get brains out of your ears with your brain?" Why have you been so bored lately? 】

"......," Brunei's brow furrowed slightly, "First of all, I must say that although I confirm that my brain is quite bright, I myself do not approve of it to say that I am the apex of 'mortal' as you say. Second, even if your assessment of my 'attributes' is based entirely on facts, if I'm not mistaken, intelligence is a property that represents 'the ability to learn, understand, analyse information, and reason'—what does that have to do with being boring or not?"

[What you said seems to make sense...... Well, that's a little more interesting. Ah, how long will I endure? Little Bruneith, do you remember, how happy we were every day when I first became your emblem of magic. Events happen one after another, unlike now, when it rains, you can write a chapter. 】

The corners of Brunei's mouth twitched, he didn't fully understand every word of the system, as usual, as always, he and the system's ideas were as incompatible as water and fire: "I don't think I was so happy at all. At least, I'm sure you're happy when you're completely different from me. ”

[Alas, yes? We killed the fat and skinny pair of teases in order to save the girl who was in danger of being abused, and we killed everyone in such a large building to avenge the death of your brother -- didn't all this leave even a little good memory in your mind? Don't you have even the slightest memory-]

"Not at all. Brunei thought coldly, interrupting the system's sensational nonsense.

[Heh. The system laughed, and didn't seem annoyed, so it fell silent.

"......" Brunei suddenly felt that the system had helped him a lot after all, not to mention, he should still have to ask the system to help in the short term, not to mention anything else, ending a conversation like this is very likely to make the system dissatisfied with him, so he hesitated for a while, and said again in his heart, "We are about to reach our destination." After leaving the Endless Mountains, it probably won't be so boring. You're waiting a while. ”

Unexpectedly, his words immediately made the system laugh. After laughing almost madly, the almost out of breath system finally gasped and said to Brunei Si: [Little Brunei, little Brunei, you are so cute. Do you think you'll not get bored until you leave the Endless Mountains and enter the neutral zone you envisioned? Hahaha, really, you're so much fun. 】

[I'm in pain now, it's just how I survived until that time. 】

There was some kind of chilling information in the system's words, but Brunei knew that since it didn't wait to say it, it wouldn't say it no matter how much it asked, so Brunei was just annoyed by being ridiculed for his good intentions, and he stubbornly threw out a sentence: "Then you can't find something to do yourself." Of course it's boring to be so idle all the time!"

Unexpectedly, the system suddenly became excited: [Yes, find something to do - why didn't I think of it!] Little Bruneisi, you really deserve to be a genius with an intelligence of up to 90! Yes, isn't everyone doing this, I didn't think about it before!]

At this time, Brunei only felt that the words he had just said unintentionally probably caused him some trouble.

[Little Brunei, now, I officially announce that the glorious and great forever correct Sun King COC system, at this moment, the mission system is officially opened!
