Chapter 232 The Value of Loyalty and the Bone-Sucking Pill

The [Minister] did not respond to Liva's greeting, but stomped the umbrella in his hand heavily, shook off the rain, and then walked to the corpse displayed in the house without saying a word.

After scanning several unfamiliar [Imperial Equipment Users] whose bodies were incomplete, the [Minister] turned his gaze to the two bodies that he was very familiar with.

He was very familiar with the names of the two corpses.

Zhu Tian and Goziqi, one is a representative of the [Minister Camp], and the other is a master who has been deeply involved in the field of intelligence and assassination for many years.

Both of them made outstanding contributions to the [Minister's Camp] and killed countless enemies for him.

The former had reported to him about Sheila's foolish behavior at noon, and the latter had promised him in the morning that he would offer him the head of the [Death in the Mist] today.

However, these two people can no longer stand up and report to him.

They had all become cold, lifeless corpses.

The [Minister] looked at the two bodies and still said nothing.

But his expression gradually became as gloomy as the sky outside, which was dyed dark by dark clouds due to the incessant rain, and his clenched fists tightened slightly.

The Rakshasa Four Ghosts, Ji, who was familiar with the [Minister's] character, swallowed his saliva. He knew that this was a manifestation of the [Minister's] extreme anger.

This kind of behavior usually means only one thing - the [Minister] is going to kill someone, and someone in the empire is going to be in trouble.

He pondered in his heart.

"Who exactly is this [Death God in the Mist]? He was able to slaughter the [Minister's] right-hand men in a matter of minutes.

"Looking at the corpse, I see that Zhu Tian is a very good practitioner. His 'momentum' has reached the level of [mastery] and he is a very famous person in the empire.

"Surprisingly, he wasn't killed by the enemy, but was forced to burn himself out, fighting for his life in search of a glimmer of hope.

"How strong is the enemy?"

On the other side, Liva, who had felt the "force" of Thorn's crushing force, did not even dare to make a sound. He could only lower his head and secretly spy on the Minister's actions.

The scene once again fell into a deathly silence that no one dared to break.

*
Just when everyone thought that the silence would be broken by the [Minister] himself, a painful and faint groan suddenly sounded in the house.

In just a few seconds, everyone in the room focused their attention on Fang Yi, who had just recovered from excessive blood loss and "woke up".

[Minister] looked at Fang Yi and Lan beside him and said the first words he said when he arrived here.

“Get medicine, save lives regardless of the cost.

"Bring him back to consciousness immediately.

"I want to ask this young man what happened here."

The [Minister] who accepted the deaths of Zhu Tian and Gozizi has realized one thing: the [Death God in the Mist] may not be an enemy that his camp can deal with alone.

He needed to take a step back and leave the [Death in the Mist] to others to deal with.

It only took him half a minute to figure out how to use the deaths of Zhu Tian and Goziqi to gain some benefits in the empire and fulfill some of his promises.

At the same time, he was also prepared to use the deaths of two people to exchange for some resources for Fang Yi and pave some roads in the empire.

Being short of manpower, he planned to increase his investment in Fang Yi to quickly catalyze the young man's potential so that he could serve him better.

[Minister] looked at Fang Yi. Although his expression was still gloomy, everyone thought that he was still immersed in the anger of Zhu Tian and Gozizi's death.

But his thoughts were no longer on the two dead people, but he had already started planning how to quickly improve Fang Yi's strength.

"Gozqi, Zhu Tian, ​​just die. There's nothing to regret about you becoming dead.

"But your 'value of loyalty' can still buy me something.

“For example, exchanging you for enough to pay for Esdeath to in-depth guide Fang Yi and improve his strength.

"The fact that Fang Yi survived two battles against the Death God in the Mist proves to me that he's worth my continued investment."

The [Minister] looked at the weak Fang Yi. While perfecting his plan to realize the "value of loyalty" of Zhu Tian and Goziqi, he was also thinking about what kind of [Imperial Equipment] and equipment made by [Alchemy] to equip Fang Yi with to improve his combat effectiveness.
-
A few minutes later.

After taking several magical consumables and the medicine carefully prepared by [Dr. Fashion], Fang Yi's wounds caused by his own gunshot wounds have all healed, and his complexion has also shed its paleness and become rosy.

[Minister] looked at Fang Yi and asked, pretending to be unfamiliar with Liva.

"Why are you here? What did you see?
"What kind of enemy are you facing in this battle?

"Answer well and I'll reward you, but if you lie, I'll make you suffer a fate worse than death."

Fang Yi answered neither humbly nor arrogantly.

“I returned here today with Miss Arya to sort out the belongings of Miss Arya’s deceased parents.

"Because it was daytime, we relaxed our vigilance, and then..."

[Minister] heard Fang Yi's words, looked at Zhu Tian's body beside him, and said with a gloomy face.

"The Death in the Mist appeared three times, and you, a native soldier who happened to meet Miss Arya, encountered her twice?
"Your 'momentum' has reached the level of [slightly successful], yet you are content to stay here.

"Therefore, I believe you are a serious suspect. You are very likely their accomplice. I will take you away and interrogate you strictly!
"I must pry open your mouth and make you tell the truth! Zhu Tian is dead, and those who killed him must pay the price!"

The [Minister] who was speaking moved his lips towards Fang Yi, making lip movements to indicate Fang Yi's refusal.

Fang Yi naturally understood the Minister's intention.

He had already sensed the man with powerful energy and immense strength who appeared not far outside the house.

With such strength, the identity of the visitor is self-evident.

He drew the broken knife in his hand and held it across his body, catching the "play" thrown by the [Minister].

[Momentum·Perseverance] was then activated, and the "momentum" of [Slightly Successful] level slowly unfolded.

After creating enough aura and confirming that the 'audience' was in place, he roared at the [Minister] with hostility.

“Miss Arya took the initiative to lend a hand and help me in my trouble, but she is my ‘benefactor’!
"And I am a soldier determined to serve my country and give my heart to the Empire!"

“Even if you are the [Minister] of the Empire, I am no match for you and the warriors around you, and you cannot insult me ​​and my benefactor here out of thin air.

"I want to duel with you!"

*
After hearing Fang Yi's words, Liva sensed his "momentum" of "somewhat successful", and his heart was lifted.

"What courage! What guts! I'm not as good as him.

"Given time, a young man of this age and strength will gain some experience in the military and will surely become a pillar of the empire like General Bud.

“I dare not speak so boldly in front of the [Minister].

"It's a pity that such a person will be cruelly tortured by the [Minister]."

Ji, who was standing aside, noticed the figure of a man outside the house. When he heard Fang Yi's words, he was shocked and looked Fang Yi up and down, thinking to himself.

“This man has such courage and intelligence, no wonder the Lord entrusted him with such an important task.

"In just one day, he mastered his still-unformed 'momentum' and crossed several realms, reaching the state of 'minor success'."

“This kind of person must be what the [Minister] referred to as a ‘dragon trapped in the shallows’.

"If he could ride on the wind and take advantage of the situation, he would surely transform into a true dragon. He would definitely become another great figure in the empire!"

"Due to the influence of the talent [Super Gravity], the character [Liva]'s friendship with you has become [66/100]."

"Due to the influence of the talent [Favored by the Evil], the character [Ji]'s friendship with you has become [61/100]."

After hearing the two prompts, Fang Yi cleared his throat, waited for a few seconds on purpose, started fishing, and made a gesture to continue speaking.

Then, as he and the [Minister] had expected, a man who was nearly two meters tall and wearing armor like two door panels stepped into the room and interrupted the conversation.

"Well said! No one can take you away today!
“That’s what I [Budd] said, and that’s my promise.

"I wish all the soldiers in the empire had your integrity and courage.

"With more people like you, the situation in the empire wouldn't have deteriorated to this point. How could a clown like [Death in the Mist] dare to run rampant in the imperial capital?"

The Empire's General [Bud], one of the strongest people in this mission world, even the strongest one, stepped into this house in the heavy rain.

Suddenly, several thunderclaps were heard outside the house, and the raindrops falling along the eaves were pouring down.
-
Seeing Bud appearing suddenly, Ji beside the [Minister] suddenly stood in front of him, but he did not dare to release his "force" in front of Bud. Instead, he spoke the most cowardly words in the most serious tone.

"That's right. If General Bud can save this man, we will accept it.

"I just hope the general will understand the [Minister's] feelings. Zhu Tian is dead."

[Minister] glanced at Zhu Tian's body. At this moment, the joy in his heart was beyond words.

[Bud is here too, that's great! My plan is going so smoothly! Zhu Tian, ​​you died at the perfect time!]

[Minister] looked at the bodies of Bud and Zhu Tian beside him, and instantly realized that this was a good opportunity to use their bodies to gain some benefits from Bud, a politically simple-minded man.

He rolled his eyes and said in a feigned sadness.

"Zhu Tian has been with me for so many years, and he didn't die in those decades of bloody storms, nor did he die on the battlefield.

“Instead, he was killed here by that unknown [Death in the Mist].

"This is someone slapping me, Ernest, in the face, and also provoking the Empire!"

After laying the groundwork for a long time, the [Minister] finally revealed the "Qin State Map" to Bud and expressed his true intentions.

“The Empire will establish an organization called [Imperial Equipment Envoys] to investigate this case and thoroughly investigate this matter.

"Every organization and department across the empire must comply with the organization's orders and assist in the investigation.

"Anyone who dares to stand in my way is my enemy! And the enemy of the empire!

"Well, Bud, are you going to stop me on this?"

*
Bud did not answer, but glanced at Zhu Tian's body, walked closer, sensed the other's body, and said with some shock.

"Zhu Tian wasn't killed by the enemy, but died of exhaustion. The enemy's strength is probably far beyond our imagination.

"Ernest, you are right. It is indeed necessary to establish a new organization, and it must be composed of [Teigu Users] to eliminate the [Mist Death God] and the [Shinsengumi].

"The police in the Imperial Capital are all useless. They're definitely not capable enough to accomplish this." "But who will lead this organization and subdue all these Imperial Tool Users?"

Then the general looked at Liva beside him and shook his head again.

The [Minister] hesitated for a moment, then without hesitation said the name he had been planning for a long time.

He wanted to fulfill the conditions he offered when he bribed Esdeath to play a fake match with Fang Yi, and add some extra things to exchange for some resources for Fang Yi.

"Isn't General Esdeath free? How about letting her come?
“As for this young man who comes from the local military and seems quite skilled, he is highly suspicious.

“I need to send someone to monitor him and have him assist this [Imperial Tool User] organization in its investigation.

"It just so happens that the Martial Arts Tournament will be calling for the participation of [Imperial Gear Users]. How about taking this opportunity to recruit some more talents?"

Upon hearing that the Minister was going to activate Esdeath, Bud looked at the Minister in surprise.

He lowered his head and thought about it again. Feeling that there was no problem, he agreed immediately and attached some conditions.

"The Imperial Weapon User must be selected from the Imperial Army first. You cannot secretly monitor this young man."

Having achieved his goal, the [Minister] naturally agreed with a smile.

It only took a few minutes for the two great men of the empire to easily ignore the emperor and accomplish a major event involving all aspects of the empire, establishing the "Imperial Equipment User" organization, which would be called "Hunters" in the future.
-
Looking at the satisfied [Minister], Bud shook his head. With a simple political mind, he seemed to realize that there was something wrong with the other party's proposal, but he couldn't put his finger on what was wrong.

Therefore, he glanced at the [Minister] who was staring at Fang Yi fiercely and decided to intimidate the other party to prevent him and his forces from attacking the young man.

He motioned for Liva to pick up an umbrella and hand it to him.

Then, the great general of the empire spoke kindly to Fang Yi amid the surprised gazes of the crowd.

"Let's go, I happen to be free today.

"I'll take you back to the place you mentioned. I want to see who dares to spy on me."

Fang Yi first made a confused expression, then an excited one, and walked into the heavy rain outside the house with Bud without holding an umbrella.

Unexpectedly, the general motioned Fang Yi to come closer, opened the umbrella in his hand, and held it above Fang Yi's head, while letting the heavy rain wet his armor.

He glanced at everyone and uttered threatening words.

“You don’t need to remember everything the [Minister] said.

“You just have to remember one thing.

"On your journey home today, I, the Empire's Great General [Bud], will hold an umbrella for you and accompany you the whole way.

"So, just go forward boldly without any fear."

Hearing Bud's words, the [Minister] laughed from the bottom of his heart.

[Zhu Tian, ​​it's a good thing you died. You helped me solve several problems at once.]

"The 'loyalty value' on your corpse is truly substantial. I'm truly delighted. I'll have to eat more meat when I get home today."

After exchanging glances with Fang Yi, the [Minister] suppressed his smile, shook his head with pretended regret, opened his umbrella, and disappeared with Ji in the rain.

Bud held an umbrella for Fang Yi, refused his subordinates' escort, and silently accompanied the young man he wanted to "protect" under the Minister back to his residence.

Afterwards, having done all this, Bud refused Fang Yi's umbrella and walked into the rain alone without looking back.

Before the general left, he only said one sentence, "The Empire will soon hold a martial arts competition to select talents. People like you shouldn't be buried. Please be sure to participate!"

Looking at Bud's receding figure, Fang Yi scratched his head and thought to himself, "Not only do I have to participate, but the [Minister] is also bribing the referees and contestants, and has already decided that I will be the champion."
-
A few hours later, the [Oberg Assassination Society] set up a safe house in the suburbs.

After checking the task that had just appeared, Fang Yi had already begun preparing to summon his followers to advance the task progress and obtain rewards.

Now the obstacles to summoning followers have disappeared, and he has also obtained a lot of faction contribution from the Empire side, which can be used to pay for the cost of summoning followers.

After killing Gozizi and completing the hidden mission "Revenge of the Remnants of the [Oberg Assassination Society]", he has become the leader of the organization, gained control of the organization, and obtained a lot of supplies and the address of the safe house.

Have a home that is completely yours and safe enough.

After ensuring that his followers would not be easily lost in the Level 2 world he had mistakenly entered, Fang Yi felt that the time had come to summon his followers.

Now, Fang Yi, who had let Chelsea stay at Arya's house on his behalf, successfully slipped out and began to convey the instructions to accept the summons through the system of the main god space and his two followers.

At the same time, he was also checking the related tasks of the [Warrior's Path] newly issued to him by the reincarnation space.

After he killed Zhu Tian with an unnamed boxing style, he successfully obtained the other party's physical training skills through [Enemy's Respect].

Therefore, he has realized that he is close to integrating the [Howling Golden Bell], [Rock Body Tempering Method], and the physical training techniques he has learned from Rock Pillar, Zhu Tian, ​​and Brand along the way to create his own horizontal training method.

The new tasks that emerged in the reincarnation space, which had the meaning of borrowing flowers to offer to Buddha, also confirmed his estimation of the progress of the creation of the skills.

『The quest related to the world view [Warrior's Path] has been triggered』

【Carp Leaping Over the Dragon Gate】

[Quest Requirements: Use various methods to integrate the acquired bodybuilding experience and upgrade the [Tiger Roaring Golden Bell Cover lv2] skill to [Tiger Roaring Golden Bell Cover lv4]]

[Basic Quest Reward: [Tiger Roaring Golden Bell] skill free evolution times x1]

[Performance Mission Rewards: After skill evolution, additional branch enhancements will be obtained based on mission performance.]

prompt:

After a skill evolves, incorporating several currently mastered physical training techniques and related skills into it will bring additional branch enhancements to the skill.

This method of obtaining additional skill branch enhancements is not restricted by changes in the mission world and is permanently valid.
-
The rewards for tasks like the reincarnation space have always been like this: the reincarnator takes ninety-nine steps, and the space gives you a push on the last step to help you take it.

Therefore, Fang Yi prepared to take drugs to quickly improve the level of his skills.

Judging from the fact that the followers follow the reincarnationist at the same speed of time flow in space, Miss Kocho Shinobu should have refined a lot of elixirs that go with the body-building exercises.

It's time to accept the other party's elixir "feeding" and gain help within the scope allowed by the reincarnation space.

At the same time, he also planned to let Miss Shinobu Kocho develop medicine to treat Akame's sister [Kuroko], so that he could further win over Miss Assassin.

After Fang Yi paid the contribution points to the [Minister Camp], he quickly summoned a portal in front of him.

Under Fang Yi's expectant gaze, Miss Shinobu Kocho walked out, and then the portal closed.

The female swordsman first looked around, confirmed that there was no one else there, and that this safe house located in the suburbs had good sound insulation, then gave Fang Yi a thoughtful look.

“Ganlu Si seems to have great talent. She is currently in seclusion seeking a breakthrough in her cultivation technique.

"So, I came here first during my break, and she will probably be here for a few more days.

"So my 'financial sponsor' is here to ask me for the elixir?"

Fang Yi looked at Shinobu Kocho, who was dressed in white as an alchemist, walked up to her, gave her a hug, and spoke seriously.

"After several days in the mission world, I finally gained a certain status. I just got the resources for you to come here to assist me.

"After confirming that I could ensure your safety, I came to this base without delay to seek your help.

“My situation in this mission world was very difficult and I encountered many difficulties.

"I need you, Shinobu."

The female alchemist was obviously very impressed by Fang Yi's words, so she leaned close to Fang Yi's chest and whispered in his ear.

"I promised long ago that I would be your strength forever.

"I also said that I will continue to live for you.

"So please take whatever I can offer you, as long as it helps you."

Fang Yi used his familiarity to stop the female alchemist from saying anything else, and played hard to get with the female alchemist. He also reached into her clothes and rubbed her snow-white hair.

After a long time, the two of them started to talk about business.

Seeing Shinobu Kocho's cheeks flushed and her eyes becoming strange, Fang Yi began to ask for the items.

"Ninja, that set of body-building pills"

Shinobu Kocho simply waved her hand in the air and took out several bottles of pills from her follower's personal space.

"After practicing a few times and mastering the recipe, I worked overtime to practice several processes for you. If it's not enough, my space is full of medicinal materials and I can work overtime here.

“Well, I also improved some prescriptions.

"With the blessing of the [Master of Combination] talent, I was lucky enough to produce a few [Epic] quality pills.

"I also made some 'special' pills, the kind that will help you."

The female alchemist who was speaking handed Fang Yi several bottles of pills, then took out a bottle of pills that Fang Yi thought was a little suspicious, and checked the door lock.

Fang Yi felt something was wrong.

At this time, Ganlu Temple Mi Li was still practicing boxing. The assassin lady saw Fang Yi's safe house from afar according to the map and was rushing here.
-
The female alchemist first poured out a red pill with one hand, then she shook her clothes and the entire alchemist suit slipped to the ground.
-
Delete the 200 words about Butterfly Shinobu using snow-white to hold the elixir and arrange Fang Yi -
"Kind Mr. Fang Yi, could you please help poor Shinobu?"

Fang Yi rubbed his hands, sat down next to the female alchemist's right hand, and skillfully stroked her back with his left hand. He hugged her and played with her snow-white breasts, and replied with a smile.

"Is there a reward for taking it out? Any way?"

Shinobu glanced at Fang Yi's body, then reached down with his right hand, put it into Fang Yi's clothes, and said provocatively.

"I heard from Ganlu Temple that if you practice body-refining techniques quickly and increase their levels to a high level, they will basically have the passive effects of [Increasing Vitality] and [Increasing Physical Strength].

“You are such a genius, your progress in the technique should be very fast.

"Let me see how your training is going. First, let me check your progress on 'body building' to see if you're slacking off.
-
Delete the 800 words where Fang Yi asks for the shield word 'jing' and teaches Kocho Ren a lesson.
"You took my 'pills' off the 'tray', so there's something missing.

"So you have to compensate me with something."

Delete the 100 words that Kocho Ren arranged for Fang Yi here

A quarter of an hour later, Miss Assassin arrived at the agreed location, but did not notice Fang Yi's arrival.

Although the gate to the courtyard of this safe house is open, the door to the main house is still closed.

"Fang Yi, I'm here."

There was no response from the room.
