Their commission was suspicious.

This is like a rabbit encountering a lion in a frenzy, facing a difference in species, as if it has encountered the most ferocious predator.

Endless flames gathered in Fran's hand, transforming into a crooked staff with a spade-like object at the end.

The colorful crystals on the wings collided with each other, producing a crisp and melodious sound, yet also a chilling one.

Everyone truly witnessed the terror of this ultimate predator for humans.

In a sense, the relationship between vampires and humans is that of hunter and prey.

Although most of the blood that Fran drank was bought by Izayoi Sakuya.

"Okay, I was just kidding. Don't take it so seriously," Chen Luo said, patting Fran's hair.

"Hey, teacher, are you still lying? That's too much!" Fran said, dissatisfied.

"I told you to be stern with them, didn't I? This represents the dignity of the Scarlett family."

Who would have thought that when you were asked to be fierce to them, you would actually unleash a Hungry Dragon Roar?

"call!"

The moment Fran concealed her aura, a series of rapid breathing sounds filled the conference room.

The moment Levadin appeared, everyone instinctively held their breath due to the immense threat posed by him.

Arya, on the other hand, was in even worse shape and collapsed to the ground.

Chen Luo felt fortunate that he had already turned Arya into a doll, otherwise it wouldn't be impossible for her to be scared out of her wits.

"How about it? This helper is pretty good, isn't he? But one thing needs to be made clear: if you really need Fran's help, besides getting Fran's request, you can't let Fran kill anyone herself. At most, Fran can only help you destroy the entire mansion. After all, killing is not a good example for children," Chen Luo said.

There are many bad people in the capital, so Fran can vent her destructive desires to the fullest.

This is the most important thing.

Chen Luo wasn't worried that anyone would lead Fran astray, because after Tatsumi and the others joined Night Raid, Loli Hassan also joined Night Raid.

We can just have Loli Hassan look after Fran then.

They're one of our own, we can trust them.

Moreover, it allows you to report on others at any time.

"However, Fran is usually absent, so you should focus your energy on the three of them. Their potential is quite good." Chen Luo dampened Najenda's joyful expression and also recommended Sayo and the others.

Chen Luo hadn't forgotten his mission.

“I understand.” Najenda nodded.

"Then would the three of you like to join Night Raid?" Najenda then extended an invitation to the three of them.

“Joining Night Raid… To be honest, the three of us initially left the village with the goal of making a name for ourselves in the capital, making a fortune, and saving our impoverished hometown through our own efforts,” Tatsumi said, scratching his head.

Who knew that the facts had already taken a turn, and the decision of whether or not to become an assassin was now at stake.

“Tatsumi, and Iyeas.” Brand, who was leaning against the wall, suddenly spoke up, attracting Tatsumi’s attention.

“It’s because of corruption at the central level that the local people are living in poverty and hardship. As a man, don’t you want to uproot this source of corruption?” Brand said, arms crossed.

Sayo silently raised her hand.

“Of course, girls too. During the night raids, the number of girls actually exceeded the number of boys,” Brand quickly added.

“Brand was originally a very talented Imperial soldier, but he couldn’t stand the corruption in the capital, so he joined us,” Najendan explained.

“Night Raid’s job is to eliminate those villains in the capital, just like today. It’s far better than working for those corrupt bastards. Do you three, with your ideals and ambitions, really want to work for the nobles we met today?” Brand said.

“I don’t want to.” Iyeas shook his head.

"You can know a person's face but not their heart." Sayo glanced at Arya beside her.

“But even if we kill a few bad guys, the world won’t change much, right? In that case, villages like ours will ultimately be beyond saving,” Tatsumi said quite rationally.

"In that case, night raids would be even more suitable for you. Just as we just mentioned, there is a base of an anti-imperial force—the Revolutionary Army—far to the south of the capital."

"Revolutionary Army..." Tatsumi had been hearing this name repeatedly since earlier, but he didn't know much about it.

“We are the dirty, clandestine unit in the Revolutionary Army responsible for intelligence gathering and assassinations. Although we are only wiping out some of the empire’s pests now, when our army rises, we can take advantage of the chaos to personally kill the root of corruption—the ministers!” Najenda clenched her fists.

Although Night Raid currently has multiple Imperial Arms users, it is not yet possible for Night Raid to break through the encirclement surrounding the Minister and assassinate him.

Not to mention that the minister himself was a highly skilled individual from the Imperial Fist Temple, and he was surrounded by layers upon layers of guards.

The minister wasn't stupid; he knew that many people wanted to kill him.

Under the minister's management, the entire empire essentially protected him.

"Personally killed him?! Sayo and I have heard that the current corruption in the capital is entirely due to the ministers who secretly control the emperor." Iyeas was somewhat excited upon hearing this.

“That’s right. When that moment arrives, the country will inevitably undergo a complete transformation and be reborn,” Najendan said.

"Will the new country you're talking about guarantee to treat its people well?" Tatsumi asked.

"of course."

"I see."

“But don’t agree so quickly. Let’s make it clear beforehand that becoming a Night Raid member means you’ll be doing a lot of dangerous work, and you might even lose your life,” Najendan suddenly said.

"You can get paid, right?" Tatsumi suddenly asked.

“That’s right. As long as you work hard, you can still save your hometown, especially since there are three of you.” Najendan nodded.

Hitmen make money very quickly.

Najenda already knew the boy's decision when Tatsumi asked the question.

Just as Najendan had predicted.

After careful discussion, Tatsumi and the other two agreed to join the night raid.

Najendan also accepted the three of them.

Besides the fact that the night raid base is indeed short of people and the three of them are indeed excellent candidates, Chen Luo's constant presence on the sidelines is also an important reason.

[Ding! Mission complete]

Upon hearing this voice, Chen Luo finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Chen Luo's backpack also contained an identity document and some other items.

After glancing at the identification document and some associated items, Chen Luo directly transmitted these items to Loli Hassan via the group network.

This identity document is different from the kind in the Type-Moon world that only allows one to pass through.

This is a unique identification document for each person, used by Najenda and the others to add to the impression of the new member, which is also the image of Loli Hassan.

After all, this identity document was obtained by Chen Luo from Loli Hassan.

Even if others obtain this identity document, it will not be recognized by Night Raid or the world.

However, Chen Luo is still troubled.

It wasn't anything else, but rather the Teigu that was giving him a headache.

When this identification document was handed to Chen Luo, it was accompanied by a note.

The above states that since Chen Luo directly recommended all three people to Night Raid, some background information can be added to this identity document.

For example... the identity of the Teigu user.

However, Chen Luo needs to create the Imperial Arms himself, while the background will be edited by the world.

Chen Luo could either find an unlucky Teigu user, steal their Teigu, change the world's records, and make Hassan rightfully possess the Teigu.

Alternatively, Chen Luo could take out an item of three stars or higher, just like a Soul Lamp, and create a Teigu record out of thin air.

Since most of the Imperial Arms were lost in the civil war 500 years ago, and some Imperial Arms were disposable or could be damaged, it is possible and quite simple to find a new item to fill in as an Imperial Arm.

As a reward for exceeding the mission target, in addition to the additional identity of being a Teigu user, if Chen Luo himself provides the item to act as the Teigu, that item can be enhanced in a localized way.

"I suddenly feel like an old father preparing stationery for his child when sending them to school. But this opportunity for local enhancement seems very precious. Let me think about what items would be good." Chen Luo fell into thought.

Heavenly Judgment?

Hmm, the Imperial Split Sword?

Chapter 879 Mission: [The Rebirth of the Empire/The Rise of the Revolutionary Army]

"Lolo".

Before Chen Luo could decide what Imperial Arm to prepare for Loli Hassan, he heard someone calling his name, which brought him back to his senses.

Since he could get a free localized enhancement by paying for his own items, Chen Luo naturally wouldn't let this opportunity pass, especially since it was supposed to be an enhancement.

"What's wrong?" Chen Luo looked at Najenda, who had called his name.

Chen Luo still has some affection for Najendan.

If Najenda were truly greedy for wealth and status, she might as well have stayed in the Empire as a general.

The general can be said to be second only to the two (the emperor and the grand general), and above all others.

Even if the Revolutionary Army overthrows the Empire, Najenda's status will likely never rise any higher.

Najenda joined the Revolutionary Army simply because she couldn't stand the corruption of the Empire.

Whether Najendan was politically astute or not, and whether she saw through the true nature of the Revolutionary Army's high command, is debatable, but she was at least a conscientious official.

"Are you going to find Esdeath?" Najenda asked Chen Luo.

"Probably not." Chen Luo shook his head.

The relationship between Chen Luo and Esdeath is roughly like that between an illegal immigrant and a background character.

Although the rewards that came with the identity did include some fabricated memories, Chen Luo didn't look at them.

"Have you thought it through? Do you want to join Night Raid?" Najenda asked.

"I heard that the revolutionary army is cooperating with the northern ethnic minorities, right?" Chen Luo suddenly asked.

“That’s right. Although the Empire is corrupt, its military strength is still incredibly powerful. The Revolutionary Army is still very weak, so in order to be able to contend with the Imperial Army, it has temporarily chosen to cooperate with other ethnic groups. Their demands are also very simple: they just want to take back the land that the Empire has taken from them for many years.” Najendan nodded.

The northern ethnic groups live in a frozen land; what decent person would want to live in such a cold place?

"That settles it, doesn't it? That's why I can't join the Revolutionary Army, and naturally, I can't join Night Raid either," Chen Luo said.

"Why... because the Baltes were wiped out by a northern barbarian tribe, right?" Najendan suddenly remembered something.

"Hmm." Chen Luo nodded.

Between different ethnic groups, the only options are either integration or a fierce battle.

On the borders of the empire, there are indeed many people whose families have been torn apart and who have died due to raids and killings by foreign tribes.

This is why Mine, who was of mixed ancestry with the Empire and northern ethnic groups, was so discriminated against.

It can only be said that the cooperation between the revolutionary army and the northern ethnic minorities was a helpless move, but it was also somewhat of a serious problem.

Even if they succeed in overthrowing the empire together, some of the empire's lands will have to be returned to the northern barbarians.

The people of the empire living on that land were extremely troublesome to deal with.

Moreover, at that time, the revolutionary army had just established an empire and was in a state of great weakness. It was hard to say whether foreign tribes would take the opportunity to ambush the revolutionary army.

To achieve peaceful coexistence with the northern nomadic tribes, the empire would have to use overwhelming force to bring the northern frozen tundra under its control, which would then make the northern nomadic tribes more musical and artistic.

"..." Najenda fell into deep thought upon hearing this reason.

This is indeed an extremely critical problem.

Furthermore, Esdeath's aversion to the northern barbarians reveals that, although she doesn't usually express it, she is quite angry that the northern barbarians wiped out her entire family.

Although I believe in the law of the jungle, you can't attack my family.

"In short, although I deeply abhor the corruption of the Empire and can help you with some things, don't even think about joining Night Raid or the Revolutionary Army."

Even if Chen Luo's identity in this world is a disguise, Chen Luo still has to maintain the legitimacy of his identity.

Even though Chen Luo, Esdeath's cousin, hasn't shown up for many years and was taken to Gensokyo by the evil youkai sage for a long time, it still seems very unreasonable for Chen Luo to actually join Night Raid and the Revolutionary Army.

"Alright." Najenda finally accepted this outcome.

At least we won't be enemies, right?
