As the night wore on, the slum residents had become accustomed to the unusual scenery and returned to their homes, some of whom had their doors locked.

Most of them will have to expend all their energy tomorrow in the workplace known as "sweatshops", and now is no time for them to waste precious rest time. Even those reporters shouting outside their homes couldn't resist the drowsiness that gradually rose.

Adults need to work on the edge of the assembly line that squeezes their sweat and blood, and children may not have it easy. If a few decades ago, in Katris, you could even see adults and children working together on a mechanical assembly line, even now, when the Factory Act has been promulgated for a long time, this phenomenon has not been completely eradicated. The children of these poor families are sent to work early to work for the family's livelihood.

"Mr. Leinster, we have contacted the headquarters and asked them to send men to intensify the search in the place you marked, and I think the results will be known soon. "But I'm a little curious as you ask us to investigate those places - you know, there's a lot of pressure on the team to send them out. ”

Not long ago, Curt had drawn all the locations marked by Lizzie on a map owned by the guards, but he didn't show the giant Rubik's Cube that covered the entire city. Although Gili was suspicious of what Curt said, he informed the garrison headquarters as he requested.

And now, the reaction of the guards has reached his ears. He was finally able to take the opportunity to ask Curt about his troubles.

Unfortunately, Curt didn't intend to dispel his doubts: "I'm sorry, I know the situation is not optimistic. Therefore, I can only ask the garrison to send manpower. You should know that I am a mercenary, and I am still being commissioned by Dean François on the side of the Academy...... I also have my own source of information, and due to the principle of the Mercenary Administration's Keeper of Secrets, this source of information cannot be disclosed to you. ”

Mercenaries have an obligation to keep secrets from their clients, and it is also necessary to keep secrets from those who provide information during the course of their missions. Based on this "Keeper of Secrets Principle", mercenaries can refuse to answer some of the guard's questions when they act, as long as they do not violate the law.

"Well—I think so. You mercenaries will always have one reason or another to refuse to provide information to the garrison. As if he had expected Curt to answer like this, Geely did not chase after him, but changed the question. "So, Mr. Leinster, you've been in contact with the organization called the True Eye a few times, why do you think they did this in Catrice?"

"I'm sorry...... This is also under investigation. I can't assert myself. ”

Curt replied. Blocked Yugili's words.

The information that can be revealed in his hands has basically been told to the people of the garrison, and now all that is left is the things that cannot be revealed. But Geely's question was a good one, and Curt had been pondering it before - what was the real purpose of the gang that called themselves "True Eyes"?

The current city of Catrice...... Or the Dominion of Osatalia is not sure how much better, but it is definitely much better than it was in the colonial period. The people who live here know that they should work for a better life, at least without worrying about living a precarious life like they used to.

So what are the "True Eyes" who are creating chaos in the Catrice, which has gradually begun to change, act for?

"For what...... Isn't it very simple? It's undoubtedly for its own benefit. Lizzie scoffed at Curt's thoughts, "Those guys keep saying, 'It's not just you who want to be protected, it's the qiē you hold dear.'" But it's just people who look at their own interests."

Indeed, there is a part of the people who will do anything out of their greed or hatred. They are driven by a pure desire for destruction, making them irritable and malevolent, but also tyrannical and unpredictable. But judging from the appearance of the "True Eye", they are not such superficial villains.

If they were just ordinary villains, they wouldn't be worth anything.

Because there was no plan for his actions, and there was no way for any group to get them well organized. In general, these thugs cooperate with each other only as a last resort, and only when their leaders can handle the fight and assassination.

But the "True Eye" are different, they are extremely organized, and if they only want to get what they want, they will appear ruthless and cruel. And they don't hesitate to sow chaos as a means of action, which makes the situation even worse.

"It's no different, evil deeds are evil deeds after all, and they don't change because of the way. They're just using their own way to get their own way. Lizzie's voice continued to ring, "Because they are systematically and systematically doing evil, it is not surprising that they have achieved some success." ”

In that letter, they said they wanted to establish "its proper order" in Catrice, but Curt was skeptical about it. For now, it seems that they are acting according to their own standards, doing their best to get what they want, regardless of whether they hurt others or not. Then the laws and traditions they rule are naturally for the benefit of the rulers and their makers.

"Change means a change in the situation, but also a redistribution of benefits. The party that once had an interest has lost its power in the current situation. So the reason why they are creating chaos here is only because the current situation is not in their interest. ”

Kirtlitch's tone made it clear that she had clearly determined that the "True Eye" was made up of conservative members who had been driven from management. Although she didn't like François very much, she still had some similarities with him in some things.

Indeed, the old school that has lost ground is the most likely to form such a group, and years of operation have given them enough strength to organize a mage organization and provide for its consumption. And the phrase "to return Catrice to the right path in this chaotic whirlpool" is also quite in line with their identity.

The "former vested interest groups" that have lost their original power -- is this the true face of the "true eye"? Although there is no evidence to say that they are the ones who say they are, they are indeed the groups most likely to do these things, and they certainly will not have a good face for the later immigrants.

"Basking in the glory of the past, thinking that the world must revolve around their will - there are many such people among the old guards. François had said this, and the identity of the other party was not clear at the time, but he was already speculating that they were members of the old guard who had lost ground in the reform, "The reform of the empire cannot sweep away the former managers, many of them are people who only look at their own interests." ”

Self-centered, a handful of old-fashioned people are just that. They are willing to keep their promises and obey orders, and they also respect the laws that represent their interests - and it is clear that they have no concern for the rights and freedoms of others. In their eyes, a good organizational system is seen as a tool for convenience.

But the world is not subordinate to a single individual, or even to a group. Even the most arrogant megalomaniac would not rashly shout such things as "the world is turning because of me". These self-interested people are a group that is united by themselves, and their organization is only based on and driven by interests.

What is the world like in us, and where is its center?

These questions have plagued many people at one time.

Thousands of years ago, the ancestors believed that this world was flat, floating on the endless sea of chaos, and the sun, moon and stars were just a few decorations hanging in the sky. They believe that the "center" of the world is their own country, surrounded by wild places that are difficult to reach.

Around the time of the breaking, as the city approached the exchanges of the nations, some people began to think that the world was a spherical shape, surrounded by shining objects of greater or lesser size. As for the center of the world, since it is a sphere, the so-called "center" is naturally underground.

In this day and age, anyone with a basic education can easily answer that the world we live in is an irregular sphere, located in an insignificant corner of the boundless sea of stars, orbiting the sun according to some law.

Yes, this world does not exist for anyone, it only exists. There are countless creatures born on this planet, and many civilizations have been born, and civilizations may be advanced and backward, but each civilization is great and carries many things.

Times have begun to change, and even the "noble" of the past have to begin to adapt to the rules of the new era, and those ideas left over from the old era will eventually be discarded. The pain caused by this process may be the main reason for the recent chaos in the city of Catrice - the old forces that have lost their authority cannot honestly accept this fact.

"Speaking of which, I also have a question for you here......" Lizzie suddenly interrupted as if she had just remembered, "Curt, did you tell those guys in the garrison before, that organization with 'blue eyes' as a symbol is called 'True Eyes'?"

She asked the question abruptly, but Curt wasn't surprised.

"Of course not, when I knew that those guys were called 'True Eyes', they were called back to the management office by the eldest sister before they could tell anyone from the sù garrison - at least on our side, the eldest sister and I had agreed not to disclose this information to anyone else for the time being. ”

Curt's gaze turned to Yugili, who had walked away because he couldn't get an answer, and silently replied to Lizzie: "So I don't know how he knew that the other party was called "True Eye". (To be continued!)
