Is the destroyed nation actively helping the people who raise lotus flowers to clean up their traces?

Are the people who raise ivy also assassins of the "Court of Life"?

"The Kingdom of Destruction has reached node G08. A murderer who raises a loli has appeared in Roman City. The Kingdom of Destruction is helping the loli-raising person clean up the traces..."

"Could it be... that the destruction of the kingdom took place in Roman City, and that they recruited a new assassin into the Living Tribunal?"

"Hmm... If we investigate the rising stars in Roman City recently, we might be able to narrow down the range of identities of those who have been implicated in the destruction of the kingdom... No, I haven't thought of anything!"

The middle-aged man quickly calmed himself down.

And I forcibly cleared my mind, not thinking about it any further.

If a super player wants to conceal his identity, it's impossible for him to find any clues or directions to investigate.

The fact that he was able to find them... is not because he is powerful, but because the other party did not have a strong desire to hide. They probably had an indifferent attitude of hiding if they could, and giving up if they couldn't.

The "playing dumb" here refers to eliminating all those who discovered the scheme if it gets discovered, thus allowing the scheme to remain hidden...

The middle-aged man had no intention of deliberately seeking out someone to commit suicide.

The other side will likely eliminate him casually, like stepping on a pitiful worm.

This guess must remain buried in your head!

He found nothing!

I don't know anything!

Back in the aircraft, the middle-aged man said to the others with a serious expression, "That's enough for now, let's go back."

"Your Grace, is there any result?" Svetlana asked.

"You don't need to worry about this matter; leave it to me," the middle-aged man said. "I will give the nobles an explanation."

Upon hearing this, both Sivina and the dog-eared youth were somewhat puzzled, but dared not ask any further questions.

The middle-aged man continued, "Go and inform the others that when they return, everyone who came out this time must sign a confidentiality agreement through the 'Person of the Covenant,' meaning they cannot reveal what they saw here to anyone."

"Yes."

Both Sivina and the dog-eared youth nodded.

Just as the two were about to begin their work, the middle-aged man suddenly spoke again: "By the way, if you encounter any more cases related to the 'Lotus Raiser' in the future, remember, don't raise the bounty again. Make the search as perfunctory as possible, understand?"

"This is."

Svina accepted the order...or rather, the warning, with a puzzled look on her face.

A guess formed in her mind... Could the crack in the sky be related to the vine-raiser?

Terrible!

It turns out that sticking to the mindset of slacking off was the right thing to do.

Because of her laziness, she repeatedly avoided life-threatening situations.

You must keep up the good work in the future!

……

Upon returning to the Rice Estate, Van Shaw immediately went to the garden on the third floor of the villa.

The garden was deserted; Tina seemed to have gone out to play and hadn't returned yet.

"Rumor has it that physical age can influence mental age. Tina is so old, yet she's still so playful. Could that be the reason?"

Unable to find the person he wanted, Fan Xiao couldn't help but grumble to himself.

He instructed the maid to prepare a change of clothes for him, took a quick bath, and then changed into clean clothes and waited.

At 7:30 p.m., Tina finally returned to Rice Manor.

She seemed to know someone was waiting for her, so she went directly to the villa garden and had the old butler brew two cups of black tea, which he placed on the carved stone table.

Fan Xiao quickly arrived at the garden and sat down at the stone table, familiar with the place.

After taking a sip of tea, he got straight to the point: "Teacher, I'm here to submit my assessment."

Before Tina could respond, he continued, "By the way, teacher, you must have seen it all, right? I don't want you to miss it while I've been busy all this time."

Stop your little probing.

Tina said in a nonchalant tone, "The ongoing dungeon is completely isolated from the outside world. This is a fundamental rule of the game system that no one can violate. Even I can't see what's happening inside your dungeon."

"Even super players can't defy it..."

Fan Xiao then asked, "What if both players have instances, both of which are random instances, and both can summon random entrances to their side..."

"In this situation, if they have a conflict and both want to drag the other into their own game to deal with it, won't that lead to further conflict?"

"The one who goes first will succeed, even if it's just by a second."

Tina replied, "If the entrances do indeed appear at the same time, then it will naturally be a higher-level instance, which can exercise priority."

After saying that, she held out her hand to Fan Xiao and said, "20."

"what?"

"You asked me two questions, each worth 10."

Tina said matter-of-factly.

"..." Fan Xiao: "The answer to this kind of question... is worth 10?"

“It’s not worth it,” Tina said, “but I’m the one who answered, so you should understand the concept of brand premium, right?”

“I not only understand brand premium, I also understand what forced selling is.” Fan Xiao asked, “What will happen if I don’t give it to them?”

Upon hearing this, Tina's lips curled slightly: "For the third question, add another 10."

Fan Xiao: "..."

"I'll tell you the answer now."

Tina said, "If you don't give it to me, you'll learn what a higher-level dungeon is and what priority it is."

"I will demonstrate it to you in person and give you a free S-level dungeon experience ticket."

"Teacher, here is 30 yuan, please accept it."

Fan Xiao respectfully handed the money to Tina's soft little hand.

Why does it feel like Tina is deliberately targeting him today?

Fortunately, 30 is not a lot for him.

Moreover, Tina was planning to give him this manor, so 30 is no comparison with the Rice Manor...

Thinking of this, Fan Xiao's frustration vanished instantly.

“Teacher, let’s get down to business.” Fan Xiao steered the conversation back on track: “I’ve completed the new assassination, and I’m here to submit my assessment.”

"You'll have to wait a few days."

After Tina put the money away, she said, "I've said before that assassination is just a means, and the real goal is the consequences."

"The aftermath of your assassination is still unfolding. I will give you a score after I have seen the complete results."

At this point, the corners of her mouth curved into a slightly more pronounced smile: "Don't worry, I estimate that your results this time will definitely not be bad. I have already prepared an 'initiation gift' for you to officially join the organization."

"What is it?" Fan Xiao's curiosity was piqued.

After asking the question, he added, "This shouldn't be a question that requires a fee, right?"

"Don't worry, the payment process is over. What I'm giving you is an A-grade item with spatial attributes."

Tina explained, "It allows for unlimited teleportation within a 1000-meter range."

"Take some time to open the 'space portal' and you can bring others with you to any location within a world zone. You have 10 chances to use it each day."

"The farther the teleportation distance, the greater the force required to open the 'door'."

"As long as your evolution rate meets the requirement, you can complete the transfer from the main planet to a satellite in just a few seconds. Moreover..."

She paused, then continued, "This item also has the function of opening an unstable wormhole, which can be opened once a month. It can achieve teleportation across nodes, but the landing point is uncontrollable and is random."

After the introduction, Tina asked, "So, are you interested?"

“Very exciting.”

Fan Xiao answered truthfully.

What he lacks now is a movement item with spatial attributes.

Although D-level players cannot fully utilize the effects of A-level items, the nerf shouldn't be too severe, and the basic teleportation ability should still be guaranteed.

Tina is quite capable as a teacher...

Looks like I'll have to refrain from criticizing her too much in the future.

"What a pity," Tina suddenly said.

"...What's a pity?" Fan Xiao had a bad feeling.

"I was originally planning to give it to you directly, but you made me take the blame... Humph, I'm very unhappy now."

Tina said, "So I've changed my mind. I'll give you this item again when you have another outstanding performance. As for this time... let's just use a B-rank item instead."

"..." Fan Xiao: "What scapegoat?"

“I encountered an accident on Noh Island, took action, and left traces. So the people you killed will most likely be attributed to me.”

Tina replied, "Even if others can find out that I didn't directly kill anyone, they will probably think that I gave the order. Because of you, I have suffered an undeserved disaster."

"This...you can blame me for this?"

Fan Xiao said speechlessly, "Teacher, I think it's just that you're unlucky."

“Really… I think you’re just too lucky,” Tina said. “So lucky that you’re dragging me down.”

"This kind of logic... don't you think it's a bit too outrageous, teacher?"

"I don't think so at all."

Tina's tone was even somewhat self-righteous: "Respect your teachers and value their teachings. You'd better remember that."

Fan Xiao really wanted to give the middle finger, but he held back.

If I can't have him, I can't have him; he wasn't his to begin with anyway.

It's not bad to be able to get a B-grade item for free as a substitute.

Thinking of this, he put on a pained expression and said, "Losing an A-rank item... that's certainly a deep impression! By the way... teacher, what B-rank item are you planning to exchange the gift for?"

"I'll tell you when your assessment results come out in a few days."

Tina kept everyone in suspense.

I don't know if she did it on purpose.

"Ok."

Fan Xiao stopped dwelling on the matter and brought up another matter, saying, "I need your help with something, teacher."

He took out the Bird Angel Medal, showed it to Tina, and explained its basic information.

To his surprise, before he could even ask Tina to put up a bounty on the Mammon platform, Tina, who was playing with her medal, responded directly: "One Wing, I've heard of this organization."

"You know? Before that..."

“You only mentioned an organization composed of psychic-type psionicists before, which was too vague. There are many such organizations, so it's impossible to pinpoint which one it is. And One Wing…”

Tina asked, "You should know about alchemy, right?"

“I know,” Van Xiao said. “It was originally a chemistry discipline, but it has been imbued with a lot of theological and philosophical elements in its development.”

"Let's talk about theology and philosophy now. Alchemy guides people to access the deep, divine spiritual realm. There's a famous saying in alchemical knowledge."

Tina explained, "My name is Hermes, the bird that devours its own wings to drive its own heart."

"Eat wings to harness power"—this phrase can be understood from many angles. It can be seen as a constraint, a rule for gaining power, or as a philosophical pursuit, a spiritual persistence and belief.

"Using the latter as a standard, the members of One-Wing cannot reach such a perfect spiritual realm, so they compare themselves to a one-winged bird, indicating that they are still on the path of pursuing their beliefs; the one wing is a single wing. Besides..."

With a flick of the finger, the Bird Angel Medal was flipped to the side with the angel pattern.

Tina continued, "Members of One Wing often see themselves as God's right-hand man, managing the world on God's behalf, like angels descended from heaven."
