"Become stronger? What's the purpose? To avenge the dead clansman?" the mountain man asked calmly.
Iskandar had explained the tragic experience of the Baluts on the border of northern Xinjiang long before his return, and with Anastasia's inquiry, the man on the mountain obviously knew everything.
Northern aliens.
The empire's former confidant has become a necessary target for Liangshan City to eradicate in the next step.
Right now, Northeast County will soon be brought into the hands of Kong Ming, and with the coming of winter, the foreign races who are short of food and food will definitely not be inactive.
When it comes to issues related to the survival of the ethnic group, there is no human ethics, no justice and fairness, and only the position determines everything.
On the side of the couch, how can you allow others to snore?
Therefore, there is bound to be a battle between Liangshan City and the foreign races in the north, unless either side surrenders to the other unconditionally, which is obviously impossible.
Frightened by the heavy oppressive force of the mountain man, the girl with loose blue hair did not raise her head, her face remained calm, and she did not intend to be swayed by hatred in the slightest.
"In this world, the weak prey on the strong, the strong dominate the weak, and the weak obey the strong."
"The death of my people can only show that they are too weak. I will not be driven by hatred to do anything. I want to become stronger only because of my own beliefs. Will not be soft."
Esdeth's answer made the old man of the mountain silent again. He can naturally see whether the other party's words are sincere, but this is the first time he has seen such pure faith.
For ordinary people, becoming powerful is just to achieve other purposes.
Money, power, beauty, revenge, fame, etc., these mundane things can be obtained by becoming stronger, and it is the desire in people's hearts that is constantly driving people to work hard.
As for Esdeath, it was simply to become stronger.
But she is obviously different from those martial idiots who want to reach a higher level, while Estes wants to survive better in the world.
Weakness is the original sin.
In this cruel world, only the strong can survive.
The man on the mountain saw through the belief that Esdeth believed in in an instant, but he would not say anything more about it, because the principle of "survival of the fittest" is indeed the cruelest and bloodiest truth in nature .
In the final analysis, human beings are just more advanced animals, one of the thousands of species living in nature.
After leaving the urban society created and shaped by human beings, the dangerous hungry species in the mountains and forests will not talk to you about kindness and gentleness.
The living environment affects spiritual concepts. It is not difficult for people to understand that the Baluts, who live by hunting dangerous species, have such a simple and crude three views.
The old man of the mountain still didn't make any statement, and asked his third question in a bland manner.
"Then why did you choose to worship me as your teacher? There are countless strong men in this city, and I am not the most suitable person to teach you."
Although Esdeth's style of fighting head-on is unparalleled, the man on the mountain doesn't think that the other party is suitable for assassination, but thinks that this girl should be more suitable for fighting on the battlefield.
Assassin is destined to be a profession that walks in the dark.
Even if he is as strong as a mountain, he always has a bright heart and never takes the initiative to intervene in the bright side, and the purpose of not leaving anyone alive during the assassination is also to keep his own low profile.
Otherwise, why kill all witnesses to achieve a perfect assassination?
If it weren't for the kindness in his heart, the old man of the mountain would not even let the target see the skull mask before he died.
Estes had obviously considered this issue as well. She had seen the scene where the man on the mountain did it, and asked herself that she was not absolutely confident that she would be able to learn magic, but she still came here with a firm head.
"Because, your strength is undoubtedly the strongest among all of them, and this is the reason."
Simple and direct, there is no unnecessary nonsense, and there is no unnecessary reason, just because of the strength of the mountain man, this is indeed in line with the concept that Esthers believes in.
"Is it the strongest?"
The man on the mountain muttered to himself, and at the same time glanced at Anastasia who was standing beside him.
Apparently, the eccentric Queen has already brought Esdeth to see all the heroic spirits gathered in Liangshan City, and introduced them in depth.
Otherwise, with Esdeth's current vision, there is really no way to see who is better than whom.
After all, in the eyes of the girl, whether it is Lu Bu, Cu Chulainn, Iskandar, or Anastasia, they are all incredibly strong. If the heroic spirits do not directly fight in front of her, Esdesh will definitely judge Can't tell who is more powerful.
Out of the friendship in her heart, Anastasia had been bored in the temple for several hours, and she was already bored in her heart. When she noticed the look of the old man on the mountain, she immediately made a grimace without any scruples. Serious vibe.
Although the girl was a little naughty, the mountain man obviously didn't take it seriously, and turned his gaze back to Esdeth.
"My assassination skills, I guess you won't be too interested. What you yearn for is a blood-boiling battle, not an assassination."
Esdes remained kneeling and motionless, seemingly unaffected by the words of the man of the mountain, but he felt a little disappointed in his heart, feeling that the trip should return in vain.
"Sure enough, is it because of faith?"
Anastasia frowned slightly, hearing something from the words of the mountain man.
Although Esdes is still young, his mind is as firm as a rock, and the three views have been basically formed under the indoctrination of his father Bartos for decades, so it is difficult to believe in the Assassin sect.
But the old man of the mountain is a man who has gone through three generations, and his thoughts are beyond the comprehension of others.
Just when Estes and Anastasia were about to give up, the old man gasped and said leisurely:
"But this old man is not a stingy and narrow-minded person. You don't have to worry about asking for advice and advice every day. If you want to practice, you can come to this temple every day."
Chapter 359 Margareta Tavern
Liangshan City at night was still full of people.
Although the nightlife in the empire is quite boring, in this city without a curfew, no one wants to stay at home all the time.
A barrel of poor-quality ale, a group of women in ragged clothes, and three or five men sitting around the table talking nonsense, constituted a noisy scene in the tavern.
Sometimes, there may be bards passing by, offering performances in the tavern in order to ask for a meal.
Or play the piano and sing like a resident singer in a bar, or come to a fabricated adventure story like a storyteller, and even some guys with special skills can come to a realistic ventriloquist.
Within the three-foot barrier, one table, one door, and one stroke of a foot can make people sit and hear thousands of sounds, guided by hearing, and fall into the artistic conception carefully woven by the ventriloquist.
The performance was outstanding, and the people who went to the tavern to buy music would definitely not be stingy. Three or five copper coins and silver coins were thrown on the stage, and the bard thanked him again and again.
Among the crowd in the tavern, the most noisy group was the mercenaries traveling around, and it was also this group of people who tipped and spent the most.
For the mercenaries who are licking blood, the most important thing is to enjoy themselves in time.
Because no one knows whether they can survive the next mission, the five big and three rough bachelors have no sense of saving money at all, and use it to get drunk, have fun, and support the ragged ladies.
On the boundary of Liangshan City, the busiest business at night is always a tavern called 'Magaresa', and even if you don't line up before the tavern opens, you will not be able to grab a seat.
As for the reason why it is so hot...
"Miss Boss, another barrel of ale!"
Under the encouragement of his companions, a mercenary raised his hand high and greeted him loudly.
Hearing the rough voice, Mata Hari, who was lying on the counter, straightened her soft body with bumps and bumps, and looked up in the direction of the voice.
Although Mata Hari didn't mean anything else, her deep-seated instinct still made this look so charming that all the mercenaries at that table subconsciously held their breath and raised their guns to salute.
Withdrawing her charming gaze, Mata Hari lazily held a pen and wrote a line of words on the bill, stretching her waist generously, and greeted:
"God, go and serve wine to the guests~"
Although the weather is getting colder, Mata Hari looks like a summer elf, still wearing the sultry dancer outfit.
The tulle-like clothes were attached to her milky white and smooth skin, coupled with her curvy and excellent figure.
Immediately, the eyes of the guests in the tavern were involuntarily drawn to her, and they wanted to stick to her.
Such a coquettish and charming stunner is really a gift from heaven.
At this moment, everyone sighed and praised in their hearts, but the guys who can come to the tavern to fool around will not have a few catties of ink in their stomachs, they are all a bunch of rough people who don't know a lot.
Most of the eyes and gazes are wretched and filthy, and there are some dross fantasies in the head that will be sealed by river crabs.
But Mata Hari didn't care about it at all, and let these people scrutinize and desire, but to be honest, so far, no one has been lucky enough to pick this beautiful and delicate flower.
Some people have spent all their time chasing after it, and some have spent a lot of money to buy a spring night, and some even want to go straight to the overlord, but those who dare to make trouble in the tavern are all thrown out after being beaten to death.
Of course, Mata Hari, the proprietress, has never done anything. She is a weak woman with no strength in the eyes of others. The bartender in the tavern is responsible for beating people.
"Bastard! How many times have I said that my name is Golden, not a dog! Hari, you are Dutch after all, and you have lived in Germany and France for a long time, and your English pronunciation will not be skewed to the Pacific side. Bar?"
From the warehouse behind the tavern, a loud cursing sound came out, and then a burly and strong man like a bear walked out.
The man with a wine barrel in one arm has a golden mushroom head, a pair of unorthodox sunglasses, a lighted cigarette in the corner of his mouth, and an open white shirt, showing his angular abs. The lower body is wearing black-soled gold-edged trousers and leather shoes.
This Yakuza, who doesn't look like a good person at first glance, is the only bartender in Margaresa Tavern, Sakata Kintoki.
Seeing the fierce appearance of Sakata Kintoki, Mata Hari waved her hand indifferently and urged:
"Okay Goudan, I know Goudan, hurry up and serve the bar to the guests, Mr. Goudan~"
"I……"
Sakata Kintoki clenched his fists tightly, and a crossroads appeared on his forehead. He stared at the lazy and charming Mata Hari for a long time, and finally curled his lips with a cold snort, and said harsh words.
"If it weren't for the fact that you are a woman, I would have beaten you to death!"
Mata Hari shrank back as if frightened, and patted the towering mountain peak in front of her chest, causing a wave of turbulent waves, which made the people in the tavern dizzy.
"Oh, why don't you be so fierce, sister, I know I'm wrong~"
The charming dancer tapped her rosy lips with her fingers, and said in a coquettish voice:
"In order to show the sincerity of apologizing, brother Goudan, do you want to be my sister's guest tonight~"
Sakata Kintoki immediately took a step back, as if he had encountered some terrible monster.
"Forget it, or you will be hacked to death by General Lai Guang sooner or later."
Sakata Kintoki muttered something, then turned around and walked into the tavern, and put down the barrel at the mercenary table.
"Guest, the ale you want."
Looking at Sakata Kintoki who was going to serve the mercenaries, Mata Hari put away the obsequiousness between her brows, and a smile of joy of victory hung on the corner of her mouth.
Although Sakata Kintoki is outstanding in force, he still cannot compete with the legendary beauty spy who was once all the rage in terms of manipulating and controlling people's hearts.
The daily interaction between the bartender and the proprietress ended, and the guests watching the play resumed the scene of drinking and laughing.
After delivering the wine, Sakata Kintoki stood in the field and looked around, then turned back and walked towards the warehouse, while greeting Mata Hari:
"Call me if you need anything."
When looking at Sakata Kin whose arms are thicker than the thighs of most of the people present, everyone wisely put away their careless thoughts after weighing the difference in combat power, and continued to drink and brag while admiring the beautiful proprietress. Seductive.
At the same time, Barbara, who had been lurking in Liangshan City for a long time, was finally ready to act.
Taking advantage of the dark night, Barbara, who was nearly fifty years old, did not show any signs of old age. She jumped onto the roof, stepped on the bricks and tiles, and scrambled across the roofs and walls of the houses, and entered the official residence on the mountainside of Liangshan City.
Chapter 3 Sixty You Call This Thing Muramasa?
The prefect of the Northeast County gave the leadership, and Zhuge Kongming led the army to liberate the northeast of the empire. Iskandar, who couldn't be idle, stalked along with him, which led to the emptiness of the Liangshan City government.
Although it is a powerful force, it will take some effort to truly bring Northeast County under control. Even Kong Ming's military division, who is full of internal affairs points, cannot achieve it overnight, so the Eastern Expedition Army will not return for a long time.
Barbara, who came all the way north from the south, didn't know about it.
Otherwise, in the usual way, she estimated that she would be trapped by eight formations of stone soldiers falling from the sky when she just entered the government office, and five hundred knives and axes were killed from left and right to tie them up and put them in prison, and then there would be torture by the cruel officials , Torture interrogation.
After successfully sneaking into the mansion, Barbara walked along the base of the wall in the shadows, and soon got into Zhuge Kongming's daily office with her rich experience.
But because the dedicated Mr. Kong Ming took away all kinds of documents, Barbara didn't get any important gains except for some irrelevant information.
"It shouldn't be. It does seem to be the office of the chief official in the city. Could it be that the confidential documents are stored in other secret places? It's really careful."
As a famous assassin who has been in the empire for decades, Barbara's career can be described as ups and downs, with constant ups and downs. As long as the bid is reasonable, she can take on any task, so she is not discouraged by the unsatisfactory start .
"Hey, old man, I want to see what kind of secrets this Liangshan City hides!!"
Barbara's hunched body straightened a little, and her cloudy eyes became radiant, like a sharp knife that could pierce the secrets of people's hearts.
After a detailed search in Kong Ming's office, and after confirming that there was no hidden secret room mechanism, Barbara cleaned up the traces left by her, and left this place to sneak into other rooms.
On the other side, in the southeast corner of the official courtyard, there is a building similar to a warehouse.
Here is the equipment department of Liangshan City. It didn't take long to set up, about a week or so, and the reason for the establishment was naturally to recruit relevant top talents.
At this moment, the door of the warehouse was half open, and flickering orange flames spilled from it, dispelling the darkness by the door.
"You call this thing Muramasa!?"
An angry questioning sound from Qianzi Village came from the warehouse, while Cu Chulainn, who was being questioned by him, stood beside him and scratched his head in distress.
"Isn't this sword called Muramasa? Anyway, it's the Teigu seized by the Assassins from the empire. The old man of the mountain asked me to bring it for you to see. The name of the sword should be something like Village... Ah, Can not remember."
