Shepherd Tantra

Chapter 1251 Slave Knight
When Ha-Na was brought back by Lily, she did run into some trouble.

There was indeed a troop of slave knights coming to block the road. The sound could be heard from a long distance away, and it was very loud - they were shouting that they wanted to arrest those who were causing trouble here.

The noise over there made Haina suddenly nervous.

Hai Na has been a model student since she started school. After she started working, she is responsible for arresting people who break the law and commit crimes... When will it be her turn to commit a crime and be arrested all over the city?
At the same time as feeling nervous, Haina also felt an unprecedented sense of excitement.

But when Lily saw that there were only about a dozen people coming to arrest them... and they were all only at the fourth energy level, she just laughed.

She appeared in front of the group of people without dodging, bringing with her the very resistant Haina.

——After a few flashes, those slave knights were killed on the spot without any ability to resist.

The whole process was smooth and without any sound. It was just like the power of the shadow demon that Aiwass used in the first promotion ceremony. The shadows under Lily squirmed and turned into spears and blades. When she flashed behind each person, these sharp shadows pierced, chopped, and shredded them.

She didn't even raise her hands the whole time, and the blood didn't splash on Lily's skirt. When Lily walked out from behind Haina again, her maid outfit was not messy at all.

"…Is this really okay? Miss Lily?"

Haina was a little confused. While being pulled away by Lily, she kept looking back at the bloody scene: "They didn't block the road. If they take action, won't it cause trouble for Aiwass... Do you need my help to deal with the scene? I have some experience in this area..."

"What did I just teach you?"

Lily just replied calmly.

The maid's words were so oppressive that Haina thought of the professor. She instantly became quiet.

...But she was embarrassed and didn't dare to answer.

Because Haina really didn't know what mistake she had made here - the other party hadn't discovered her yet, so couldn't she just avoid causing trouble and just avoid it? And Lily had no ability to hide herself at all, so wouldn't it be easy to find out who it was?
Seeing that Haina didn't move, Lily turned around and looked at her.

"Go back and let the master teach you."

Lily sighed and gave up.

After hearing this, Haina realized that she had indeed made a mistake. So she followed Lily back dejectedly.

But unexpectedly... her mood is much better now than before. She just completed the so-called "revenge", but her mood has become worse, which makes Haina a little sad. It's as if she wasted her mood and time and did something meaningless.

But now, she inexplicably felt better.

When she came back, Haina saw Aiwas lying on the chair.

He looked very sleepy and tired, as if he was sick. Haina had never seen Aiwas so weak before. In her impression, Aiwas was always full of energy, as bright as the sun. Now he looked like a candle that was about to burn out, which made her feel a little nervous.

Then, Lily told Aiwass everything that happened on the road and Haina's problem.

Haina sat in front of Aiwas like a puppy that was about to be scolded after destroying the house, cowering in silence.

After listening to this, Aiwass smiled and glanced at Haina: "Why, you are still not convinced?"

——That's true. It's mainly because Lily's behavior is completely contrary to the education and experience she has received in the past. She doesn't know why she did this, but she just followed Lily's instructions and trusted her, so she came back. She didn't understand, but she had to work hard. When she was an intern at the Supervision Bureau before she graduated, she was like this sometimes.

Haina shrank her head but didn't say anything.

"The reason why Lily took you to kill them is very simple..."

Aiwass said softly, "You are right. This level of Dao traces can indeed be easily found... just like when I was investigating a case in Avalon, I found out those people of Noble Red. The difference here is that what we need is to be found out."

Upon hearing this, Haina looked up at Aiwass in surprise.

Just by hearing these words, she vaguely understood something.

"Is it to... intimidate them?"

"Half of it."

Aiwass scolded with a smile: "It seems that he is not so stupid. Maybe he became a warrior and his brain was filled with proliferating muscles."

"If my guess is correct..."

Hearing this, Prodino asked Aiwas thoughtfully, "It should be to avoid suspicion."

"Yes."

Aiwas nodded: "Now the Red Hand Gang is right before our eyes, and their power has already infiltrated various city-states. Even in Holy Spring City, there may be people who have surrendered to the Red Hand Gang. Anything that happens here may be a conspiracy of the Red Hand Gang, or part of their plan.

"With so many benefactors gathered here, if something goes wrong and there is no investigation at all, it would be the same as the benefactors claiming that 'I did it'. If it is later revealed that this matter is related to the rebels... such as the Sand Throat Sect or the Red Hand Faction, then he will be in trouble.

"Therefore, if no one comes to claim this matter and no one takes responsibility, then it will be a big deal - it will definitely be thoroughly investigated, and there will always be a result in the end, and that will be a deadly feud. And it is obvious that the benefactors in Shengquan City are more tactful... There are so many benefactors here, who knows who did this? You can't investigate everything, what if you really investigate it thoroughly and find out something?
"Compared to this, whether it's the killing of our own MC or the earthquake that caused part of the building to collapse, these are minor matters. The rules over there are different... In Anxi, 'human life' is not the most precious resource."

Aiwass said, looking at the cards on the table: "Shouldn't you have known this when you played the Paltz game before, Haina? In Parthia, the value of slaves is only higher than pomegranates and books... and what the Red Hand Party said is actually correct - to the Good Lord, everyone in their city-state is, in a sense, their slaves.

"No matter if they are ordinary freemen with no property, beautiful concubines, brave guards, nobles, officials, or extraordinary people... they are all just slaves. To the good master, they are just part of the property. Other good masters are equal to them.

"If a colleague knocks over a cup or breaks some ornament, at most you'll just complain a little. You won't kill anyone. But if a thief or a homeless person steals an expired snack at home, you'll go crazy - because the point is not the snack itself, but how you got in."

Aiwass said softly: "To the good lord, those rebels are just such 'small thieves'. Their threats bring instability... and compared with these 'disgusting traitors', other good lords' subordinates just smashed a few things, so there is no need to make a big fuss about it."

"Then why do we have to kill those who come to investigate the suspects..."

Haina asked subconsciously, but suddenly realized that she had made herself a suspect. After struggling for a while, she said, "They are just... poor people who have no choice."

“It’s true that I can’t help myself.”

Aiwass nodded: "But not necessarily a pitiful person."

Then he asked, "Do you know why slave knights are called 'knights'?"
