33. Intermission (3)

"If I tell you, in fact, I only know a little about what you are saying...... Will Your Excellency believe it?"

โ€œ...... Can you explain why?"

The self-proclaimed "listener" girl had a strange attitude, and Reisen had to cheer up - she was obviously in an unusual position in the former organization, and it would be unreasonable to say that she knew almost nothing about the secrets of some organizations.

However, if it is understood that the girl is lying...... Her attitude, her emotions, and her eyes seemed to be a little too open.

"Your Excellency should know that the curse you are talking about comes from the Great Demon of the Demon Realm, right?"

"Ah, for this reason, when I went to the Demon Realm, I deliberately slaughtered the source of all things...... But it didn't work, the curse would continue to work even if the perpetrator was killed, and at best, I was just venting my anger. โ€

It's also a shame that at that time, Lingxian's state of mind has calmed down her best friend, and she will no longer have a tendency to go berserk, otherwise she worked hard to kill the powerful demon king, but she found that she was doing useless work, and she might be blackened.

"That's why I'm weird...... I have destroyed the source of that perverse curse at the source, and why is it in this age? This is a very important thing to me, for to this day there are still many older people in my people who are afflicted by the curse of those years, and I will not let the same curse linger in front of me. โ€

"Yes...... After all, your Excellency is such a person. โ€

"It's hard to be glad that my notoriety is so widespread......"

"But to your fellow citizens, there is such a patriarch who is happy to take revenge. It must be very happy to have accomplished what they only dared to think about in the past, right?"

โ€œ...... Maybe. โ€

-- If you don't pay attention to yourself with that kind of worship that is too much. That's better, right?

Reizen shook his head with no intention of skewing down on the topic. Staring at the girl with burning eyes: "You say you know 'little about it' - what are the aspects that you don't know? Apparently you also have a good understanding of this curse and know that it exists...... Therefore, the 'half-understood' in your mouth is because ......"

"Well, as you can imagine, my own existence, in the past in the Order, was not a very popular roleโ€”if you had to say it. A lot of people wanted to get rid of me as a nuisance, but they couldn't find a 'replacement', so I was lucky enough to survive to this day. And that 'curse' is something that some people have only acquired in recent decades...... I didn't know the details of the process, until the organization became more and more biased, and after the recent bizarre 'deaths' of a group of young people, these hidden things were exposed, and it was not from Cicero. It reached my ears. โ€

"Cicero, is that the reckless and silent man just now?"

"Yes, the young man who is obviously very good in character and talent is just too stubborn, because of his dead father. Insist on dual-wielding daggers in battle...... As you can see, if the assassinations of other assassins are silent blowguns. He was like a heavy siege crossbow, though swift and powerful. But it was loud. โ€

Reisen knew this very well - the man, albeit in the manner of an assassin, had attacked him. But to Reizen's senses, it was more like being charged by a fierce berserker......

"It seems that he respects you very much, so you didn't persuade him?"

"I tried to persuade you, but it didn't work at all...... How could it be, I've put an end to my usual tone and used euphemisms as much as possible......"

At least from the feeling of Reizen, although the aura of the person in front of him is sufficient, it is not the type of oppressive person, and he can feel the majesty and experience his tolerance, so it stands to reason that there is no reason to change this tone......

"May I ask, how did you advise him?"

"The gods gave you two hands, and you use them to hold weapons, I think you have a kind. โ€

โ€œ......โ€

Reisen wisely gave up on going deeper into the subject, but at least got some useful information - the girl known as the "listener" was, perhaps, in some way...... Isn't she's a fool? Probably the reason why she seems to have so few friends is that the sarcastic "euphemism" makes a big difference.

"What is that man's status in your organization?"

"It's not high, it's not low, it's an awkward position, so when I can get accurate information, the situation has actually become a little difficult to control - quite a few old people in the organization are aware of this, and unfortunately, even the assassins hiding in the dark are not very interested in this kind of behavior as bad as raising Gu. โ€

When the girl said this, a haze slowly appeared in her eyes.

"In this day and age, however, faith ...... The reason why they are angry is only from the most basic human senses, and they instinctively feel unhappy about it -- unpleasantly, it is a pity that it can be easily sunk by sugar-coated shells. As a result, what could have been a conflict was settled in this way, and the 'old people' who had received tangible benefits turned a blind eye to that bad behavior, and even more so, participated in it, changing from critics to participants. โ€

โ€œ......โ€

Reisen didn't know what to say.

Seriously, in her view, the Assassin was a disgraceful profession born out of a distorted "need" - the need to kill. It is true that in the beginning, the "Assassins" existed for a brief time as a blade of justice against the unscrupulous superiors, but they were quickly dyed bloody by the great dye vat of the human heart. Take people's money, eliminate disasters for people, and buy and sell assassins. Probably the shadow in this world that can never be erased.

But the girl in front of her. The feeling given to Reizen,It's not like the image in her mind at all.ใ€‚

"That's you. Did you make any indications?"

"I am the listener...... Not an elder, not a chief, only glory and responsibility, but no actual power. I can only choose to accept and not accept, but always not to accept, and I have no right to oppose the decisions of those who have real power. โ€

"Listener...... What kind of role is it in your organization?"

The previous taciturn Cicero had always addressed the girl as "Lord Listener" rather than adding an honorific title to her name. In general, no matter how faithful you are. When an organization has collapsed, it is really inappropriate to use this name, but the man still insists on it - in other words, in his mind, the girl who has the identity of "listener" may have more "listener" than the girl herself.

It really doesn't feel like a "nice-to-have" position.

"As the name suggests, my duty is to listen to the whispers of the gods I believe in, and to hear the demands of the people. Determine the goal of mortality and complete the holy murder. Hawkers, to put it in layman's terms, the great god I believe in. It's like an adventure guild boss who takes on and picks out the right quests, and then I post them. โ€

โ€œ...... Hey, hey. It's too popular, what about your faith?"

Use this attitude and rhetoric to describe the gods you serve. Is it really good?

"It's okay to ask, it's better to say. The 'Lady of Eternity' doesn't like that kind of servile attitude - the adult prefers a clear 'contract' to the so-called 'obedience', and wants that relationship to bind the words and actions between the two parties. โ€

Just now, I seem to have heard an unfamiliar term, right?

Reisen tried to search his memories to see if he could find a god worthy of the title "Lady of Eternity...... However, with Reizen's knowledge, she couldn't think of who it was, which matched the situation described by the girl at the moment.

At the same time, the power of the priesthood of "murder", "contract" and "eternity" is not known to Reisen.

"Don't think about it, the Lord I serve does not live in the kingdom of God in heaven. Strictly speaking, she doesn't apply the current definition of 'god'...... But to me, it's the irreplaceable gods!"

Absence...... In the kingdom of God?

Reisen subconsciously looked at the top of her headโ€”if it wasn't a god, what kind of character was the existence that the girl believed in and served? Reizen didn't think that at this level of power, what kind of pretending to be a god could be, she could clearly find the trace of abnormality on the girl's body...... is completely different from the mortal things in this world, and there is a sense of detachment above all things, if there is no accident, it should be the same breath that she has been dyed with for a long time dealing with that mysterious being.

"So, the original form of your organization...... Should you, the 'listener', issue the mission and then carry it out and kill the target? โ€

"Yes, I am listening to the Lady of Eternity, not the god of wealth and contract, nor the god of murder. The girl proudly straightened her flat chest, and although her chest was flat and undulating, Reisen could feel what was about to come outโ€”pride, pride, adoration, passion.

As a direct participant in the murder, this emotion is not normal.

Generally speaking, even a seasoned Assassin would not have much joy and anticipation for the murderous mission ahead, and that twisted emotion was the preserve of pleasure criminals. And the emotions revealed by the girl are obviously different from these people-more sense of mission and glory.

"Pardon me, what is the standard of the 'Lady of Eternity', and what likes and dislikes does she use to choose the poor person to be killed?

Perhaps, the "Eternal Lady" whose identity is unknown to the girl serves, could it be related to this inexplicable curse? Not in the relationship between "calamity" and "calamity", but in another sense......

"I beg your pardon for not being able to tell you all about itโ€”I'll keep it in my stomach until I'm in the coffin. All I can say is ...... The assassination targets listed by the Eternal Lady all belong to ...... Well, it's better to kill than to keep. โ€

Is it better to kill than to keep?

Reizen couldn't help but be stunned when she heard thisโ€”could it be that this Eternal Lady was unexpectedly still a righteous partner who was full of indignation, but when she thought about it, she could grasp the hidden meaning of the girl...... Gods, or similar beings, must see the world from a different perspective than ordinary people. The girl's "it's better to kill than to keep" doesn't necessarily mean the aspect of human ethics and righteousness, compared to this option, Reisen feels that what she is referring to should be extended to a broader angle.

"Keep it on...... Will it breed hidden dangers and harms?"

"Well, the harm that has been done, the harm that is being done, and the harm that is about to be done...... They are all the objects that the Eternal Lady chooses to destroy. Although I cannot speculate on the mind of the Eternal Lady, let alone question the reasons and standards of the Eternal Lady...... But I think that the Eternal Lady must be guarding the world she loves in her own way!"

โ€œ......โ€

Lingxian wants to complain, this kind of words are full of negative meanings, no matter how you look at it, it feels like it's going to be black...... But considering the girl's position, forget it.

Moreover, having reached the level of "god", there may really be such an awkward guy.

"Huh? Coming soon...... The person who caused the harm?"

Reisin suddenly realized that she had almost overlooked an important clue in the girl's words.

"Uh......"

An expression like "Oops!" flashed across the girl's face...... Although the time was really short, it immediately covered up the gaffe of this time, but who is Reisen? With her dynamic vision, this mistake is actually very conspicuous in Reizen's eyes.

"Can the Lady of Eternity even accurately grasp the future?"

This is not a powerful thing in the ordinary sense of the word...... You must know that there are very few people who can accurately grasp the power of the future, and there are few people who know about it. But that's not the point - listen to the girl, the "Eternal Lady" she serves can make accurate "predictions" many times over a long period of time!

There are so many "lists", how can there be less!(To be continued......
