I don't want to be a hero.

"You are just as the rumors say. You have the same habits as a lion. A sleeping lion is too lazy to move, but when it hunts its prey, it is unstoppable and unbeatable!"

"But whether you want to fight me or not, the choice is not yours, but mine. This is your maid, what a pretty girl."

As Esdeath said this, a chill suddenly emanated from her hand, and she was about to grab Fina who was behind Yeya.

At this moment, Yeya's eyes, which had been full of decadence, suddenly became fierce, and he grabbed Esdeath's outstretched hand.

When Esdeath saw Yeya grabbing her hand, she frowned and increased the output of cold air from her body. However, to her surprise, Yeya was fine...

Under normal circumstances, the coldness from Esdeath would have frozen the person into an ice sculpture.

Even though Yeya was stronger than ordinary people, his arm was at least frostbitten. However, the other party was not affected by his coldness at all, which surprised Esdeath.

"Are you mentally prepared to attack the people around me?"

Ye Ya was furious. He originally didn't want to bother with Esdeath, who was such a sadist, but the other party actually attacked the loli next to him, which touched his reverse scale!

Almost everyone in the hall felt that the temperature in the air began to drop sharply, and the nobles who had been fawning on the ministers suddenly realized that something was wrong.

When they realized that the unknown cold source in the hall came from the location of Yeya and Esdeath, they couldn't help but move away from them.

What the hell? The two strongest men in the empire actually fought in the hall.

Esdeath looked at her arm which was gradually covered by ice in surprise, with astonishment on her face.

She had never felt cold since she drank the "Devil's Essence", but now her arms were actually frozen!

Although this level of coldness did not have any effect on her, it was obvious that she had been at a disadvantage in the confrontation between the two of them just now.

Using her other hand to break the ice in her hand, Esdeath kicked Yeya's head with a high kick. Although Yeya successfully defended it, she also distanced herself from him.

The temperature in the hall was still dropping, and a layer of granular frost had already covered the floor tiles and stone pillars.

"I didn't expect that the famous Lion Warrior actually has similar abilities to mine. Have you also drunk that stuff?

But didn’t the guy who kept the imperial weapon say that there was only so much blood left from that super dangerous species? "

Esdeath condensed an ice blade with ice and said to Yeya opposite her while staring at her. Obviously, she thought that Yeya had such ability because he must have drunk the same thing as her.

"Since the power comes from the blood of super dangerous species, why can't you think that I encountered one and killed it, and drank more blood than you?"

Ye Ya also condensed an ice knife. At this moment, he was like an angry lion, and the situation became even more tense.

"Stop right there, this is an important ceremony for the new emperor's enthronement. How dare you do such a disrespectful thing in this sacred palace?"

The minister on the stage, looking at the two men at loggerheads, also shouted loudly.

Chapter 366: Should we conquer Lord Ye Ya as soon as possible?

(This is the third update today. I just overslept, so it’s a little late. Please forgive me (?▽｀)

“Is this place sacred?”

Ye Ya looked around at the nobles present with a mocking look, then the ice knife in his hand shattered, and the temperature in the hall gradually warmed up.

"Fina, let's go back."

After leaving a sarcastic remark, Ye Ya took Fina away as if no one was around.

Esdeath did not stop Yeya. After all, there was a lot of time left. She and Yeya were in the same imperial capital, so there were plenty of opportunities for them to fight.

The current situation is indeed not suitable for the two of them to have a big fight, but Ye Ya is definitely being remembered.

Especially in the previous confrontation, Esdeath was clearly at a disadvantage. For a battle maniac like her, how could she be willing to give up just like that?

"I will come find you again. Our battle is not over yet."

Esdeath looked at Yeya's departing back, said this, and then left the hall with the three beast warriors.

The minister at the throne looked at Yeya and Esdeath leaving, his face turning blue with anger.

The two people's behavior of not giving him any face at all made him furious, but he could do nothing about it.

Yeya and Esdeath are the last barriers of the empire. If the two of them collapse, the empire will be almost destroyed.

If he wants to continue enjoying such wealth and glory, he cannot touch these two people.

Moreover, Yeya and Esdeath are both very powerful, plus they have great prestige in the army. Even if the minister wants to take action, he won't be able to defeat them!

Fortunately, although the two people fought in the hall just now, they stopped in the end instead of fighting recklessly, otherwise he would have really lost face.

The reason why Esdeath didn't continue to attack just now was that although she was a battle maniac, she always remembered that she was a general of the empire.

As for why Yeya stopped, and even stopped earlier than Esdeath, it was not because of the minister's face, but because he received the second task from the system.

Task 2: As a hero, you cannot just take care of yourself, you should also take care of your companions.

Help the protagonists defeat their original enemies and ensure they survive!"

Reward: ??? (The fewer the number of protagonists who die, the richer the reward.)

Originally, Yeya really wanted to have a fight with Esdeath, but he received this task from the system.

And if Yeya remembered correctly, Esdeath's opponent should be Akame.

If he intercepted and defeated Esdeath first, it would not be known whether it would affect the progress of the mission, so Yeya decisively chose to stop.

After Yeya and Esdeath left, the coronation ceremony was completed smoothly.

The little emperor, who had no autonomy at all, was pushed onto the throne by his ministers and became a real puppet.

And the powerful empire also began its own road to death.

A large number of loyal officials who were driven away by the ministers gathered together, and some people with lofty ideals who could not stand the darkness in the imperial capital also formed an uprising army.

When Ye Ya returned home, he asked Fina and Fiya to help him pack his luggage, as he planned to stay out of the spotlight for a few days.

“Why, Lord Yeya, didn’t you just come back from the battle?

Last time you said you could take a year off, why are you leaving again?"

When Feiya heard what Ye Ya said, she puffed up her face and was very dissatisfied. She had originally wanted to take this opportunity to conquer Lord Ye Ya.

My sister is just too shy. You should know that for someone as outstanding as Lord Yeya, she should take the initiative.

Although they are still young, in this era, it is common for girls in the imperial capital to get married at the age of fourteen or fifteen.

They are about the same age now, so they can definitely conquer Lord Ye Zai first, and in a few years they can become Lord Ye Zai's concubines!

And looking at Ye Ya's posture, it was obvious that he was going to leave again. She hadn't even launched her attack yet...

"Master Yeya, why is that?"

Feiya kept pestering Yeya, saying that she had grown up now and her strength had become stronger, so even if Yeya went to the battlefield, he could take her with him.

"I'm not going to war this time. I'm just being targeted by a troublesome woman. I'm not sure I can beat her, but it's pretty troublesome anyway."

"So where are we going?"

Unlike Fia, Fina was very obedient and helped Yeya prepare things and asked where they were going.

"Let's go to the tavern. Najeshitan and the others have just established their base, so it's not suitable to go there. It would be bad if they are exposed. Besides, I don't know their exact location yet."

The tavern that Ye Ya bought before has changed a lot. In addition to being expanded a lot, it has now become a two-story building.

The first floor is still the same as before, running the business as a tavern, and the waiters are some older lolis and boys adopted by Yeya.

The second floor of the tavern looks like a large office area, which now belongs to Ye Ya's "Intelligence Department".

Who are the people who come to the tavern to drink? They are either small nobles or adventurers, and it is often these people who know the most gossip and information.

Using the tavern as a cover, the little loli trained by Ye Ya organized and collected this information.

Not only all kinds of gossip, but also the residences of various nobles in the imperial capital, the defense capabilities of their mansions, and what evil things they have done, Ye Ya also has all this information.

Because she has a special team under her command, which specializes in assassinations and intelligence gathering, and Fia is the leader of this team.

The members of this team are all children who, like Fia, have special talents in hiding and assassination.

Seeing Ye Ya, whom they hadn't seen for a long time, the children also gathered around him. Just like in "Dark Bullet", Ye Ya is quite popular among the adults.

After all, it is in this dark world that we are the ones who give them warmth and become their family.

"Is there any useful information recently? Bring it to me and let me take a look. I will be staying here for the next few days."

Ye Ya used the head-patting technique on each of the children who gathered around him, and then they dispersed contentedly.

"Lord Yeya, this is the latest intelligence collected in the past few days."

Ye Ya took it casually, then found a recliner and started reading comfortably.

There is a lot of information above, in addition to some things that Yeya knows, such as the new emperor's ascension to the throne and Esdeath's return to the imperial capital.

Even the information about Najeshitan was collected. Akame, who went to hunt down Najeshitan, was persuaded by Najeshitan to rebel.

It even records the location of the base that Najeshitan secretly established outside the imperial capital after secretly returning to the imperial capital!

Are the little lolis so strong? He only knew about Najeshitan's return to the imperial capital and the establishment of a base after receiving a secret letter from Najeshitan.

And considering Yeya's identity, Najeshitan didn't even tell Yeya the specific location, but the little loli and the others found the base of the "night raid"...

Chapter 367: The Wish of Zha Zha Mi

Originally, he just found something for the little lolita to do because they were too bored, but to Ye Ya's surprise, the little lolita were unexpectedly capable!

Seeing the surprised expression that appeared on Yeya's face from time to time, Feiya on the side puffed out her little chest and looked quite proud.

After a few days passed, Esdeath did not search the whole city for Yeya as Yeya had expected.

Because the war in the north became tense again, Esdeath even left the imperial capital the next day.

And with Esdeath no longer a major threat, the organization formed by Najenda also began to become active in the imperial capital.

The number of members has increased from just her and Akame at the beginning. While rapidly growing stronger, they continue to extinguish the darkness in the imperial capital.

By the time a country boy named "Tatsumi" came to the imperial capital, Night Raid had already become a feared killer organization in the imperial capital.

However, even with the threat from "Ye Zai", the darkness in the imperial capital has never diminished, and in fact, due to the ruling of ministers, the darkness in the imperial capital has even worsened.

A young boy named Tatsumi came from the countryside and came to the imperial capital with his companions.

We are ready to join the Imperial Army together to achieve great things and return home in glory in the future.

"I don't know if Shayou and the others have successfully joined the Imperial Army. They are really something. What will happen to me later?"

Tatsumi walked on the bustling streets of the imperial capital, looking forward to his future.

Although Tatsumi comes from the countryside, he has a certain degree of confidence in his own abilities.

He and his good friend had all been taught by a former imperial military instructor in the village, so they had a solid foundation in swordsmanship.

Tatsumi even relied on his swordsmanship to hunt large and dangerous species alone.

With such strength, it should not be difficult to get a position in the empire.

As for why Tatsumi and the other young men were so eager to join the Imperial Army, it was not only because they wanted to help the poor villages.

They also had the dream of becoming a "hero". While receiving swordsmanship instruction from their mentor, they also often listened to their mentor talk about the heroes of the empire.

Among them, the one that Tatsumi and his friends admire the most is Yaya, who is known as "walking alone, like leading a million lions."

Yeya's reputation is beyond doubt in the Imperial Army. The retired instructor who taught Tatsumi was most likely once Yeya's subordinate, so he praised him highly.

Tatsumi and his friends grew up listening to the stories of Yeya, and their little hearts have long been filled with all kinds of beautiful aspirations.

But now that Tatsumi has just arrived in the imperial capital, he is almost at a loss. He can't find his friends, and he wants to join the Imperial Army, but he doesn't know where to go.

And to the old-timers in the capital, the sight of Tatsumi wandering around the street with a bumpkin' expression on his face was nothing short of a fool.

"Young man, you seem to be in trouble, is there anything I can help you with?"

A woman with golden hair, a great figure and seemingly a very bold personality appeared in front of Tatsumi and said that she could help Tatsumi.

When Tatsumi first arrived in the imperial capital, he had no idea how treacherous human hearts were, so he easily believed Leone, and at the same time he lamented that there were so many good people in the imperial capital.

Leone, who was walking in front and leading the way, couldn't help but secretly sneer when he heard Tatsumi's words.

There are many good people in the imperial capital? This is probably the funniest joke Leone has ever heard since she was born.

Leone brought Tatsumi to a tavern, and as soon as he entered the door, he was scolded.

"Leone, why are you here again? Didn't I tell you that I can't give you wine on credit this time?

How can someone do this, drinking without paying? Even if you have a relationship with the boss, you can't come here every day to eat and drink for free..."
