I, Manye's best friend, face General Raiden at the beginning

A figure rushed in from outside the tavern.

"Hey! Stop drinking, you two!"

"There is an urgent mission, assemble now!"

The speaker was a strong man with a scar on his face.

And the moment he appeared, the two men opposite Leone were both stunned.

At this time, he was half sober from the drunkenness.

If it is an urgent task, you can't let drinking ruin your work.

He no longer had any intention of paying attention to the blonde beauty in front of him, and hurried out of the pub with the scarred man.

The blonde beauty was left sitting there alone.

I saw her upper body lying on the table, with her two breasts pressed under her body, making her bra look particularly full.

The hand under the table hid the purse that he had just taken from the two people, but on the surface he was holding his mouth and looked a little helpless.

"You are such a lack of gentlemanliness. You haven't even paid the bill yet."

The tavern clerk who passed by her couldn't help but look at the woman with contempt.

It turns out that she is big-breasted and brainless. There are actually such women in the empire.

If those two people hadn’t been called away just now.

I'm afraid you're going to scream and shout because of the bullying from those two people, right?

Of course this is what he imagined.

The clerk had no intention of approaching her and chatting her up with the blonde beauty.

After all, don't underestimate anyone who goes in and out of a pub. Who knows, maybe everything he sees is a trap?

Just as the clerk was thinking this, a hearty voice sounded beside him.

He was stunned for a moment. Is there really someone who wants to "get a bargain"?

"Hey, can I sit here?"

"can."

Leone said directly, she raised her head and looked at the person who spoke with a dazed look.

She felt that she had met too many fools today.

Although it seemed that she had drunk a lot of alcohol and was not very clear-headed.

But with her imperial weapon [King of Beasts] and her amazing alcohol tolerance, she is still sober now.

As far as she could see, all she could see was a young man with short orange hair who looked a bit childish.

He had a slender figure and was wearing a gray suit with his sleeves rolled up to reveal his abdomen slightly.

At first glance, he seems to be a handsome guy.

"Please put this lady's account on my account as well."

The young man smiled and said to the bartender next to him, "Bring two more bottles of the best wine here."

"Ok sir."

The clerk walked away politely.

Go get this gentleman the best wine in the house.

I couldn't help but complain in my heart, it seems that woman has fallen into the hands of a fat sheep.

One cannot help but sigh at the man's generosity and ignorance. This must be the rich kid in the empire.

However, it was rare to see such a rich kid appear in their tavern.

"Thank you so much."

"Come on, young man, I'll drink with you."

Leone smiled with a drunken blush on his face, it was nice to be able to help pay for the drinks.

The young man also picked up the wine glass and drank with her.

He seemed curious and eager to try, "Sister, I want to ask you something."

"Is the General Budd mentioned by those two people just now really that powerful?"

I didn't expect to be asked this kind of question.

Leone blinked in confusion.

I didn't expect that the young man in front of me was not a wealthy kid born and raised in the empire.

After all, except for those who have just arrived at the empire, who doesn’t know the empire’s twin pillars, the super S-level battle maniac—General Bud?

Another young man like Tatsumi who was preparing to become an imperial soldier?

"General Bud is very powerful. He is one of the strongest in the empire..."

As Leone narrated this, she seemed to see excitement in the young man's eyes.

Is he really the young man who wants to join General Bud’s army?

"Come to think of it, I still don't know your name?"

"You can call me Master."

……

At this time, in a house in the empire.

The pink-haired girl was carefully peeling off the pure heart.

Chapter 53: Leone, Danger

empire.

The lanterns are on.

Zhongli was walking on the streets here.

Observing the surrounding scene in a leisurely manner.

Although his attire was different from those around him, no one noticed.

The Imperial Guard marched past him.

Will, who came out of the hunter corps for patrol, walked past him.

No one thought there was anything wrong.

He seemed to be a part of the empire's nightlife.

He would promote sales at the door of some shops.

Will look at all things that ordinary people don't care about.

The empire has been developing for thousands of years.

Walking on the streets of the empire, you can also feel the weight of this history.

If we just look at the surface, the environment of the empire seems to be no worse than that of the seven kingdoms in the world.

Even the gods who rule the seven nations are suppressed by the [National Guardian God·Supreme Throne] here, which is enough to intimidate all the small fry.

"Is human nature scarier than evil spirits?"

Zhongli whispered the words that Fujiwara Chika used to describe this world.

He looked up at the palace located in the center of the empire, which was also the palace where the emperor of the empire lived.

Even gods will suffer wear and tear, let alone an empire built by mortals.

Thousands of years have also caused wear and tear on the interior of this "empire".

Perhaps it is just like Mondstadt in the past.

Liyue Harbor has developed smoothly for more than three thousand years because of the existence of the Emperor, and nothing like this has ever happened.

But what if one day... the Emperor is gone?

After more than three thousand years, even gods and emperors should take a rest.

Zhongli's eyes looked at the night sky, as if looking at the entire empire.

The words that the merchant said to his men came to mind, "You have done your duty well. Now, go and rest."

Can Liyue move forward alone now?

Can the current Liyue Seven Stars shoulder this heavy responsibility?

I wonder what choice the immortals will make.

What will Liyue be like in a thousand years without the company of gods?

Perhaps we can only witness this a thousand years later.

Zhongli's usually calm expression suddenly showed a slight fluctuation.

His eyes were looking towards a certain place in the empire.

“Is it scarier than a demon?”

He did not waver in his next plan after seeing the situation in this world empire.

The will of the gods will not be shaken by them.

It's just the dirt beneath the bright surface...

Zhongli sighed softly.

Finally, action was taken.

Somewhere in the Empire.

There were a few strong men who worked together as well as soldiers.

They had just knocked out a dozen girls who had come to the empire from other places.

Prepare to inject them with the Empire's latest addictive drugs while they are unconscious.

When they wake up, they will feel that their bodies cannot do without the drug and will become dependent on it.

Then you have to work for them and become their tool to make money.

And when the girl becomes overly addicted and can no longer work normally, then she no longer needs to exist.

The men's movements at this time were as skillful as eating and drinking, and they did not hold back at all on these innocent-looking girls.

Such things and such work have long been commonplace.

It was only after one of their former superiors was assassinated in a night raid that their business was forced to come to a halt.

After all, no one wants to take the lead, and everyone knows that this may lead to an assassination at night.

But after Esdeath returned to the Empire to establish the Hunter Corps, the night raid assassinations came to a temporary halt.

Eventually, someone couldn't help but take the lead and organize them to start this kind of business again.

bang~

The man who was about to inject the girls with addictive drugs fell to the ground with a thud.

Or rather, all of them lost consciousness and fell to the ground with a thump.

Before they lost consciousness, they seemed to feel the thickness of the rock.

But apart from the injuries from falling and losing consciousness, they did not have any injuries on their bodies.

Even his vital signs were all normal and he was not in danger of death.

As if falling asleep.

And after they fell to the ground.
