Poverty makes me capable of anything.

Tatu's forehead was covered in sweat.

Doesn't that mean the malfunction was a good thing?

How can it be!

This system is incredibly intelligent; how could it make such a mistake?

"Seeing how eager you are, I'll grant your wish."

As soon as An Ran finished speaking, a whole row of gun barrels immediately began to fire.

A barrage of spell bullets rained down on Tatu and the sorcerer's faces.

Seventeen authentic spells are available for you to enjoy.

In an instant, those two people were beaten into a pulp.

Tatu's mind was almost blank. What the hell was wrong with the system?

He scrambled and crawled, finally managing to escape to a dead end.

At this point, An Ran had already broken free from the spell's shackles.

The sorcerer collapsed, foaming at the mouth, while Tatu was pale and could barely stand.

"Your machines have betrayed you."

An Ran put away her "supernatural power." It was already seven o'clock, and An Ran had finished unleashing her ultimate move.

"That is..."

Tatu's eyes, which had returned to normal, widened again.

That circle slowly closing in on my hand...

"Domain, it's a domain!"

The body, which was already trembling, shook even more violently.

It's actually a domain.

Tatu's mind went blank. He thought he valued An Ran a lot, but he didn't expect An Ran to value him far more than he valued her.

"To be precise, it's the realm of mechanics. You're just asking for trouble by playing with mechanics in front of me."

Anran grabbed Tatu by the collar and pulled him in front of her.

"If it weren't for something I wanted to get from you, you would have been dead the moment the door opened, just like that sorcerer."

An Ran turned around and unleashed several green light blades, instantly slicing the struggling sorcerer into several pieces.

Tatu's body trembled.

She is more than just a mechanic.

What on earth did we provoke?

Anran took out a piece of metal and stuffed it into Tatu's mouth.

"That way you won't be able to bite your tongue and commit suicide."

An Ran clapped her hands, signaling Ella to search the room: "By the way, it's true that you didn't have a means of suicide, right?"

"Waaaaah..."

Tatu struggled for a long time but couldn't break free from Anran's grasp.

"Then I'll begin!"

He placed his hand on Tatu's head and safely used Soul Absorption.

The method of stripping away memories left Tatu's mind blank for a moment, and he was no longer afraid, shocked, or terrified.

where is this?

who am I?

Until finally losing the ability to think, his head lolled to the side and he fainted.

An Ran withdrew her hand: "I didn't expect it to go so smoothly."

This person was actually a member of the Reform Movement.

From his memory, An Ran knew that this reformer who ran around contacting other people was no good at all.

While completing the task, An Ran saw an opportunity.

Chapter 11 Demoman

It would seem strange if a genuinely ambitious group recruited people who practiced despised sorcery into their organization.

From Tatu's memories, Anran also gained a considerable understanding of the new mansion and the forces behind it.

Under the guise of reformers, they contacted many young representatives dissatisfied with the status quo of the empire, seemingly wanting to thoroughly reform the empire's long-standing policies, but in reality...

They actually did it!

However, reforms can be categorized in various ways. Some reforms are positive, like the Reform Movement of 1898, while others are negative.

It is not to say that reform and innovation are necessarily good.

The true aim of this reformer was to disrupt the existing order, which sounds similar to the ideas of the up-and-coming figures who shared their views.

In reality, the difference is quite significant, because they do not intend to establish a new order on the ruins.

Destruction brings pleasure, while construction is superfluous.

Only by standing on the ruins that have not been rebuilt, after the collapse of order, can they draw nourishment and thrive.

This isn't some reformist movement; it's just another group of terrorists.

Hmm? Why did you say "again"?

An Ran fell into deep thought.

In short, in order to make the destruction more violent and explosive, how could the reformers not find a few passionate young people to brainwash them?

In Tatu's memory.

Today, this "reformist faction" has many new members with considerable strength, including Visa.

On the surface, Visa was following in his family's footsteps and working hard to help the second prince ascend to the throne, but in reality, he had ulterior motives.

While targeting the forces of the Third Prince and the Fourth Prince, they also created many enemies for the Second Prince.

Upon closer reflection, it seems I didn't really gain anything.

The struggle for the throne depends not only on the size of the power behind the throne, but also on the approval of the Royal Council.

The royal elders in the council are all highly respected and cannot be easily bought off; many of them are also experts in cultivation.

But it's not impossible to change their minds.

Catering to their preferences usually works.

The Third Prince's faction spread their political ideas everywhere, while the Second Prince pinned his hopes on military achievements, such as smashing the heads of the Black Tide rebels. Unfortunately, too many people were holding them back.

After all, there are only six months left. Even if the Black Tide is causing trouble, once the situation on Aistar stabilizes, an expeditionary force can crush the rebels.

Even if the Black Tide rebels were to increase their strength tenfold, they still wouldn't be able to match Night Owl.

Night Owl has been established for over forty years, with the support of the Star Alliance.

Life is but a fleeting moment, like smoke and clouds.

We should strive tirelessly day and night.

Visa was involved in the recent bombings, which occurred not long ago.

He didn't send anyone to carry out the operation; he only tampered with the security checkpoints.

This action will likely intensify the conflict between the Second Prince and the Third Prince, and the Fourth Prince will certainly be eager to join in.

Returning to the new mansion itself, it served as a transit point for the reformers to communicate with Visayas.

Nominally, it was bought by a merchant from the Fran region as his residence in the capital.

The new mansion has a complete set of death curses in its basement.

It is specifically designed to punish explorers who overestimate their abilities and have immature ideas.

Unfortunately, An Ran was a villain who came only after she had truly seen through the difference in their strength.

As the saying goes, "Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated."

Master-level reconnaissance skills, damn good!

Look at that quest, "The Veil of the New Mansion." When it was given to Anran, the difficulty level was C.

For today's players, it's pretty much just a fetch quest, maybe with a few regular monsters to kill along the way.

The difference in strength is evident.

If it's released to current players, the difficulty level will probably be SSS.

"Gently remove your veil."

Your house is mine now!

Unexpectedly, in just ten days, Anran became a homeowner.

Such a massive mansion, even if it's in the suburbs, would cost at least a billion pesos to acquire.

What's more, it also comes with a complete set of death spells.

An Ran looked at Tatu, who was gradually regaining his senses: "Next, it's time to cut off your dog's head."

“You, you can’t do this! You’re making an enemy of the entire Reform Movement!” Tatu struggled.

Unfortunately, he was just a sorcerer.

Their own strength is just so-so.

Anran's second profession is, after all, a level 83 melee profession.

She grabbed Tatu tightly, and no matter how violently he struggled, she couldn't budge An Ran an inch.
