"Why do you ask me, an outsider who has just known me for a long time, to do this kind of incident...... What if I have any bad thoughts against you?"

The girl really didn't understand why Ye could take such an important confidential matter for granted, casually asking a stranger who had known no more than half a day in total. This is not a small task for the novice village to fight junglers, but directly to carry out anti-government activities!

Even if it is a girl who has just come to this world, it is clear that Ye, who clearly stated that he wants to assassinate the lord of the nearby city-state, is not a liberation organization, but also a member of the rebel faction.

"If that's the case, it means that my ability to recognize people needs to be strengthened-well, at most, I cut you as a warning, anyway, I got a good weapon design from you, no loss, no loss~"

"You're already thinking about cutting me!"

"Eh, don't you like this way of dying? Also, the death of the head separation is too bleak for a beautiful girl...... Don't worry, I will choose a way that does not damage the remains, such as poisoning, poisoning, poisoning, etc......"

The last three are not essentially a way to die...... Obviously, she is also a very cheerful and lively beautiful girl, why is she so keen on the dangerous and dark interest of making drugs......

"Seriously, is your behavior a forced pull of me into the gang?"

"In a sense, there is such a meaning, but. You said yes yourself, didn't you? I can understand, you. But after much consideration, I made up my mind -- if it weren't for it. If it can bring you enough benefits, you can choose to refuse it, right?"

After all, the girl has shown a certain value, and for Ye, she no longer belongs to the kind of role that "must not divulge secrets" - it is necessary to properly ensure a little distance.

Of course, Ye didn't think that the other party would really agree to his casual suggestion.

This also made her vaguely understand that the mysterious girl in front of her seemed to have some kind of urgency...... She initially thought it was a thirst for revenge. But after careful observation, this is not the case.

It's not so much that she hates something, but that this girl is afraid of something.

It's like being chased by a wild beast behind her, and the girl is forcing herself to join in those dangerous things...... This kind of confusion and weakness in his eyes is not unfamiliar to Ye.

Long ago. Her sister, when she was alone with herself, also looked at her like this.

"Well, since I have chosen to ride with you on a thief ship. Shouldn't you tell me something about the goal of this operation? First of all, all I know is something 'simple and simple'...... Belch. Spiritual spells, not a professional assassin!"

"Hey, hey, hey. If you know you can't do it, why do you recommend yourself?"

"You are! Since you can see that I'm not good at this, why do you want to make such a suggestion to me! Hurry up and tell me what I should do, is it so fun to sell off in front of others!?"

“...... You're as boring as Sister Salith. ”

What should I say, the girl in front of her is obviously sweet and has an excellent figure, and the configuration on the hardware is not too feminine, but in fact, this person seems to be born with a lack of feminine coquettishness. It's not that she's a woman, it's just ...... I always feel that there is no feminine feeling, and in some ways I am stiff like a wooden youth.

This couldn't help but remind Ye of a woman who was also outstanding in appearance and at the same time had a good demeanor - that Sister Sharis, who seemed to have a bad relationship with her sister, was almost the same as the guy in front of her...... Well, although the boobs are not so eye-catching.

"I don't think you're used to stabbing people, so I won't leave the highlight of the assassination to you - take advantage of the chaos to help me rescue someone from prison, can this task be completed?"

“...... Appearance, characteristics, and where are they being held?"

"Oh, that's good, straight to the point. Ye pestle thought about it with his chin and said, "The target is a woman who looks like about twenty, and her characteristics are very beautiful and easy to identify." ”

"Huh, that's not it?"

Although "pretty" is technically an obvious feature that can be recognized, it is important to know that this time the target is to be held in prison, and there are two possibilities for beautiful women in it - either they cleverly disguise themselves as not pretty, or they simply are ruined beyond recognition.

"No...... Seriously, when you find that person, you know that superfluous descriptions are meaningless. Whether it's from a male perspective or a female perspective, that person is quite beautiful and impeccable, and if you want to say that the first impression of that person is really 'beautiful', right?"

As a woman, Ye also showed a trace of unwillingness on her face when she talked about the other party.

"It really hurts the self-esteem of other women, that guy...... The person is beautiful, has a good figure, and has strong strength, but there is nothing to say, except for the bad character......"

"That man...... Is it strong?"

The girl noticed Ye's description, which was much more practical to her than the others.

"Well, much, much better than me, not in an order of magnitude at all. ”

"Wait! Why is such a strong person arrested and imprisoned here? Ten thousand steps back, the prison that can hold a strong person who is far stronger than you, no matter what you think, it is not something that the two of us who can only steal petty can break through, right?"

In the girl's imagination, the "dungeon" she was going to challenge this time suddenly surged from "normal difficulty" to "hell difficulty".

"If it weren't for that kind of 'accident', so that her strength couldn't be brought into play, with that person's strength. How could you be imprisoned in a place like this? I don't know what kind of monster they're imprisoning. Until now, he still regarded her as an ordinary magician. ”

"Then why...... She wasn't killed, she was imprisoned until now?"

The girl couldn't help but think of a very bad possibility-didn't Ye say before that the person who was going to be rescued this time was a rare and beautiful woman......?

"What else could it be?"

Ye glanced at the Lord's Mansion with disdain, and in his tone, he did not hide the trace of disgust at all: "Shouting in his mouth to destroy the 'Demon Outer Dao', as a result, don't they all covet the power of magic? Many mages are actually quite good - as long as they sell what they have learned and help the powerful of all parties to enrich the inventory of high-quality enchanted weapons, they are not able to walk in the sun openly, but the treatment is much higher than that of the hard-working assassins. ”

It's not because of ...... Is that the reason for the unbearable?

That's great.

"Magic, which was originally a fantastic thing, can only be applied to how to take lives more efficiently, people. It only takes magic to harvest lives more efficiently...... So it's really unpleasant to say that the double standard - is it true that the Assassins, a shady industry that has no light in sight, really take a lot of lives every year?"

Dispatching an Assassin would cost a considerable amount of money. The appearance fee of a good assassin with a reputation in the industry is even more expensive, and the target of a dispatch is usually one or two. People who die every year because of assassins. The number of Lun, I am afraid that even one percent of the "accidental death number" has yet to be examined.

Merely. Those who fear the threat of the Assassins are often not ordinary people - they have status. The status class basically controls the mouthpiece of society, and after a long period of accumulation, the assassins they fear will naturally become the marginalized people feared by the whole society.

Although the targets of the Assassins were generally dignitaries.

Although the employers of the Assassins were generally high-ranking officials.

"The people we want to save this time also survived in this way, so they won't ...... Saved from a tragic end?"

"In that case, you're underestimating that guy too much. The man I know, as long as she doesn't have that idea, can't pry her mouth open - but even after a few years she hasn't offered the slightest 'benefit' to those in power here, these guys still have to provide for her, and don't even covet her body, do you know why?"

“...... Is it because she has ...... 'capital' that cannot be given up by those in power no matter what?"

Compared with the skin of a peerless beauty, it is more able to stimulate the ** of those in power......

"That guy is a dark magician. ”

Black Mage?

"Even before magic is sent to hell and becomes a symbol of the evil world, the black mage is a dangerous existence on the edge of humanity - to put it bluntly, the methods mastered by the black mage are not necessarily worse than the demons. In a sense, you can think that these people are demons in human skin. ”

The girl swallowed subconsciously.

"Manipulate the undead, drive demons, sow death, shape terror, and brutalize lives...... This is the general impression that people have of dark magicians in the past. Although the concept of magic has faded very quickly in most people's minds in the past few years, the fear of dark magic is obviously more profound than the traces left in people's hearts by other magic factions. ”

Why, is it that the concept of magic in other schools is fading in people's minds, so that they are gradually "forgotten" about their composition and expression, but black magic still has a relatively deep impression?

"It's because ...... Nowadays, people's understanding of magic is limited to the level of 'convenient means of destruction', so the black magic, which is originally a symbol of fear and death, will seem more ......."

――Is it more attractive and seductive?

"You're not wrong at all. ”

Ye Jiang had just followed the design drawing, and the three-edged thorn from the temporary master was pulled out of the scabbard, carefully wiped its special-shaped blade, and said faintly: "This weapon, stabbed with one blow, can actually take a human life; a large fireball, smashed into the crowd, can kill and burn a group of people, not to mention a high-level city magic, not to mention can break the city with one blow, but it is not a problem to bury the city wall with poor defense quality along with the soldiers...... However, this kind of 'efficiency' obviously makes those in power not satisfied. ”

"They...... In pursuit of a convenient weapon that can slaughter the city with one blow, destroy the city, and kill it once and for all......"

The girl couldn't help but think of the ...... of her original world Weapons of mass destruction. With the simple press of a button, humans can die in large numbers in tens of thousands. Although it is difficult to tell whether war is right or wrong, or that there is basically no such thing as a "correct war," it is absolutely impossible to say that it is "correct" if it develops into such a form.

A war that can be waged on a "chessboard" is both efficient and terrifying. Because human life is becoming more and more frivolous, more and more textureless - it is just a number.

Just as the Holocaust no longer requires long bloody killings, it can be done with just one command and one button.

"Do you think those anti-human dark magicians are terrible, or are they terrible 'laymen' who are planning to take such a dangerous power for themselves, but they don't know it?"

“......”

The girl couldn't be clearer.

In her world, the reason why the Cuban Missile Crisis was able to save the world was because it was in the hands of the leaders of both sides who still had reason and sober cognition that held the power to destroy the world. It is precisely because they, and the people who came after, can clearly understand the horror of nuclear weapons, that this dangerous weapon, after only two actual battles, is only "deterrence" and has never been put into actual combat.

Of course, the use of nuclear bombs by fighting nations to extinguish fires will have to be calculated separately......

However, in this world, do those in power have such a rational and sober understanding? Do they really want to use nuclear bombs unscrupulously on the grounds that "nuclear bombs don't need to be built", as depicted in some works of art?

“...... Here, are there many people who have such thoughts?"

"Of course. Because...... When a person dies, it takes a while to regenerate it...... As long as you give some 'kindness', tax revenue will drop a little in a few years, and some inducements will be given, and the population will rebound very quickly. (To be continued......)
