Chapter 306 This is also a secret and the execution platform
11 month 12 day.

early.

"Brother, this is our signature beer~"

The maid came over with a plate. She rubbed Su Ming's hand with her slender fingertips and blinked... maybe she was hinting?
"..."

Su Ming took a sip.

The taste is very sticky, it is better to say that it is a drink containing lees than wine. It is just not that sweet.

Judging from the material of the clothes the maids wore, they were not much different from those seen in the Snow Country.

There are quite a lot of people coming to the tavern at this time.

"..."

After drinking several glasses of wine, Su Ming still hadn't seen anyone arrive.

"Hey, that guy... he must be at least from the middle level, right?"

"He looks quite handsome... different from the ones I've seen before, with some muscles."

"If you're interested, why don't you go and talk to me?"

"Why don't you go?"

"..."

Very strange.

I've already changed my clothes into a plain grey cardigan and trousers, so why am I still standing out?

Does your face really become more handsome?
After the body was optimized, Su Ming was a little uncomfortable with the white skin color. Was the temperament really changed so much after the skin color changed?
Think about it.

If it's black and you turn off the lights, you can only see the teeth and the white ones are so tender that they can be blown away... Well, I would rather be a little bit feminine than reversely optimize into a black dragon.

It's a pity that he has worked so hard to cultivate the image of a tough guy with sharp eyebrows and bright eyes.

11 month 12 day.

morning.

"Sorry, we had some trouble on the way..."

The person Su Ming was waiting for finally arrived.

"This is what you asked for. I don't know why you're curious about the border, but even if you really want to see it, don't get too close."

"I heard that someone secretly watched it and then jumped down for unknown reasons. He never came back."

"Also, the Saint doesn't charge for her services. Everyone knows about that."

"Next time if you need anything, just come to me and I'll give you a discount."

"..."

In front of me was a small woman wearing a thick coat, with clearly visible freckles on the bridge of her nose.

Last night, people in the red-light district told Su Ming that if he wanted to ask anything, it would be best to find her.

"If you want to contact me, just go to the old street across from the red light district and find me."

"..."

What Su Ming wanted was a map.

too small.

The scope is not as large as when Su Ming was in Haidao City and used the car's offline map to see the entire picture of Haidao City.

The combined area of ​​the Doma Autonomous Region may not be as large as a city in the Snow Country.

Above is the agate management area.

Above that, there is no division into any districts. It is the capital of Rozaria, where the rich and powerful and the emperor live.

When Su Ming asked those drug addicts yesterday, he just thought that it was distributed in many countries, an ordinary world.

"Ah... that guy is leaving."

"You want to ask the little guy something, right? Wouldn't it be a good idea to use this as an opportunity to strike up a conversation?"

"I, I'm shy too!"

“Still shy at 30?”

"..."

Su Ming had no interest in the older single woman who had been spying on this place. He folded up some old painted maps and put them in his pocket.

Leave the tavern.

The saint we are looking for has not made any movement so far and is not dead.

[Assist NPC status list]

[Status: Healthy]

[Progress: Completing the first task]

An Xiaoxi seems to be fine.

"Border?"

Su Ming was quite curious about the border that the little intelligence dealer mentioned. He was also curious why there was only the Principality of Rozalia on such a large map. There was nothing else. No mountains, no oceans.

But I still need to finish the Saint's work first. The mission is more important.

11 month 12 day.

noon.

The Saint is not in the Doma Autonomous Region. The intelligence dealer means that except for appearing at the observation deck during celebrations and special circumstances, she lives in the most prosperous area of ​​the Agate District at other times.

There are only two ways to get to the areas above from the Doma Autonomous Region.

One is to find a local tyrant to smuggle you across the border, and the other is to obtain official documents and take the "elevator".

"You can take her away with just 80 votes. She's guaranteed to be a well-trained cook. She'll be perfect whether you want to use her for business or for your own use."

"..."

Now Su Ming is on the busiest street in the Duoma Autonomous Region. Beside the big fountain, the vendors are chaining their gorgeously dressed merchandise. Women.

No dirty.

In movies, the kidnapped people are always portrayed as miserable for the sake of misery. But here, Su Ming saw a healthy, well-dressed "commodity". Only the eyes... were extremely gray, and they swayed along the chains with a flattering smile.

People passing by the fountain, whether rich or poor, seemed to be accustomed to it.

"Clap."

Su Ming lit a cigarette.

Wherever I went before, I would smoke one less cigarette. But here, there are substitutes that are not much different.

He made eye contact with the woman held captive by the traffickers.

"..."

She smiled awkwardly unconsciously. The more Su Ming watched, the more uncomfortable he felt.

but.

If the Principality of Rozalia is a country that allows human trafficking and treats people as commodities, there is no way we can help it unless we overthrow its leader and establish a country like the Republic of Sutia that is completely under our control.

Su Ming withdrew his gaze and looked at the guard behind the fountain.

They seem to be interested in the woman in the hands of the trafficker.

"Hey, I said last time that I wanted to do business here... except that the goods you brought were not flat and thin like this, where's the money?"

"I just gave you..."

"How long ago was that? If you want to do business here peacefully, you have to pay separately every time. If you don't want to pay, you don't have to. There are plenty of people who want this position."

"..."

Behind the guard is the elevator.

Like a giant bird cage, it covered the higher altitude areas. Standing here, Su Ming could only glimpse a blue brick house at the top of the bird cage, which was completely different from the barren buildings in the Doma Autonomous Region.

"Forget about the money, since you have been paying the money honestly for so long."

"Bring her here in the evening. My brother has just been transferred here. He likes this flat type."

"..."

Formal documents need to be signed by the administrator of the Doma Autonomous Region.

Smuggling requires dealing with local tyrants.

But if you can just climb up from the side of the birdcage... you don't need to do anything.

11 month 12 day.

late at night.

Su Ming came to the fountain again. The trafficker had indeed come here with a new woman in secret, just as he had said during the day. The guards also took off their armor and looked at the people around the trafficker with lustful eyes.

"It looks so hot, is it clean?"

"You are joking again, my Lord. If I give it to you... I dare not bring anything unclean. This is the stuff I just found."

"The training was also done by my wife. I never interfered in the whole process."

"..."

The full moon was covered by clouds, leaving only a crescent moon. The space that was originally somewhat visible suddenly became dark.

Su Ming didn't plan to do anything extra.

But now it's right in front of us. If you don't have the ability, forget it. If you have the ability, why not do something to make your mind clear?
"Who?!"

"..."

Su Ming didn't say a word. He didn't use the Philosopher's Blade. He could break their necks with his bare hands. There was no need to use a weapon that was no different from a small flashlight to attract attention.

11 month 12 day.

late at night.

"..."

There is no other woman in the trafficker's house.

In other words, all the others are sold out.

"Thank you, sir, for saving me..."

"..."

The woman sat there blankly. Outside, people were already in chaos because they thought two guards were dead.

She had nowhere to go.

11 month 13 day.

early morning.

Su Ming didn't regret it. He just did it. If he decided to help a little, he could help with the follow-up.

"Take this money and find a way to live here again."

But it was impossible to spend time to help her survive. Just give her the money borrowed from the fellow villagers.

It doesn’t matter if you have an empty pocket, you can always find kind, enthusiastic and well-funded fellow villagers to borrow from.

"..."

The woman knelt in the shabby house and opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something, but no sound came out.

I could only watch Su Ming disappear at the door.

11 month 13 day.

early morning.

"Who the hell is so bold to mess with them?"

"If you ask me, he deserved to die."

"You deserve it. If we can't find that thing, we can forget about doing business. We can feel relieved, but we still have to do business."

"..."

Not only the guards were looking for Su Ming, but the local tyrants in Doma Autonomous Region were also looking for him.

There are torches everywhere.

Will that woman be arrested again?
Forget it. I can't care so much. If I can't seize the opportunity, I can only say that it is her fate.

11 month 13 day.

early.

A secluded old street far away from the fountain.

"..."

The torches outside the shabby house were getting farther and farther away.

The woman was still kneeling there, staring at Su Ming motionlessly.

"That's enough. After all, I was the one who brought you out."

"Just find a job somewhere and make a living. Learn to look ugly... Don't go out like this."

She has a flat body, but her face is really pretty.

All Su Ming could do was find her some ordinary clothes.

"Go south from here, there is a pub that you can see right away. The atmosphere there is pretty good... You can try to go there and see if they accept people. It's better to have someone to protect you than to run around alone and get caught."

"..."

That's it.

The price was just wasting one day's mission time. Anyway, the saint felt that she would not die for a while, so it was no big deal.

11 month 13 day.

noon.

"..."

Su Ming randomly found a restaurant to eat at, close to the fountain.

Think about where to climb from.

This place is really weird, with endless cliffs. The only way to get up is through a bird cage. If it were a country... shouldn't they find a way to make transportation so good that anyone can easily get to another area?

11 month 13 day.

late at night.

Su Ming had already changed into pure black clothes and covered his face with a black cloth, leaving only his eyes exposed.

It is a bit difficult to climb a completely smooth rock wall with bare hands, not to mention that it is at least 30 stories high. So why climb it?
"..."

Probably because the guards died yesterday, there were twice as many guards around the bird cage today. There were six guards standing at the door alone. They were all wearing armor and holding long swords.

really.

The best place to climb is the birdcage. Using the floating ability brought by the bonus, it is easy to jump up. It is easy to find the starting point by grabbing the birdcage and climbing up.

"What the hell are you wearing? Are you looking for death?"

"..."

The six guards at the door were also ordinary people, at most a bit stronger and with some basic fighting skills.

Su Ming could easily subdue him without even using any weapons.

Although it is a bit difficult to face the abyss, Xia You or Xia Ye, and you have to rely on reloading. But in terms of ordinary level... maybe he can be regarded as a martial arts master in the secular world.

11 month 13 day.

late at night.

Su Ming never thought that there would be such a lewd scene in the room behind the guards.

The woman lay on the table, and a young man timidly helped her push her back.

She just glanced at Su Ming naked.

"You were the one who killed someone yesterday?"

"..."

There were several young men who had fainted and curled up in the corner. They looked like they had been tortured badly.

"Come and serve me, and I'll consider leaving you with an intact body."

"Serve well, and I'll let you live as a dog."

11 month 14 day.

early morning.

Not right.

The woman and the guard Su Ming had casually killed before were not in the same class at all. Or in other words, they were not creatures from the same dimension at all.

"interesting."

"Is he from some duke's family? He is blatantly provoking the Fiona family."

"..."

Because there was a bright fireball burning in the palm of her hand.

Her naked wheat-colored skin also glowed due to the flickering firelight.

The seduction training that Xia Ye and Sertis had was useless. If a fight really broke out... who would be shaken by the baby cafeteria? She wasn't his wife.

"What is this weapon?"

"Pink... No, it's turned black again. Forget it, if I kill you, everything will be mine."

"If he's from the Duke's family, he should be better than those useless men in the room, right?"

"..."

But it just means that it is not easy for Su Ming to deal with her with his bare hands.

Take out buffs like immunity, and also take out the Philosophical Blade that has become a little strange... the goal is to end it in one move.

11 month 14 day.

early morning.

I roughly knew what my brother-in-law was going to do. He wanted to find someone in another area.

The knife is pink...

How would I know about that kind of thing!
The mission didn't say that after I live in the sword, the color will change according to my mood. The woman who was about to be sold yesterday was very pitiful... I also think there is no point in saving her. It will only cause trouble.

I also think it’s normal that my brother-in-law didn’t save me.

But he was saved.

Then I gave him money and introduced him to a job... I never took advantage of him at all. I didn't ask for anything in return.

Maybe that woman will fall in love with my brother-in-law.

But I didn't care. I thought that was the charm of my brother-in-law... Heroes are like that, very handsome.

Who says that you can’t have fluttering hearts just because you’ve already had sex and confirmed the relationship?
But I kind of hate it.

My brother-in-law is too strong. He doesn't need me at all... He won't always put me on his waist or hold me in his hands. Although it's nice to have him in my heart.

But I want to see my brother-in-law’s handsome face!

I can't see anything all the time, only the sound...hateful.

"What is this weapon?"

"Pink... No, it's turned black again. Forget it, if I kill you, everything will be mine."

"If he's from the Duke's family, he should be better than those useless men in the room, right?"

“……”I hate this woman.

What's wrong with pink?
That is my proof of my throbbing heartbeat for my brother-in-law.

Turning black is pure disgust. Whether it is treating women as commodities or treating men as commodities, I hate it. People are... not commodities.

"Wait, why doesn't fire work on you?!"

"..."

"You dare to kill me? I am from Prince Fiona's family...Puchi."

A bit annoying.

There was blood on his body, and it smelled very bad. His vision was also blocked.

"..."

But my brother-in-law quickly wiped it clean with a cloth. I could see his handsome face again.

"Is there really a problem?"

"Sometimes it's black, sometimes it's pink..."

"..."

What's going on?
I am not allowed to look at my brother-in-law’s face and feel moved?

What kind of mission is this...

If you want to, you have to endure the weightlessness and the smell of blood when you are slashed. I can definitely do it. Even if it's not 10%, I can endure it 100%.

what.

Why can't I transform?

At this time, there should be a heroine who claps and applauds, then does this and that... For example, I can do it!
At least I can have hands...

At least I can do something when I can't help it.

I don’t have crape myrtles very often!
It's just... when I miss you too much, I hug my pillow. Sometimes... once or twice a week at most. Only twice at most.

What 10%? If you ask me... the most uncomfortable thing is that I can only see my brother-in-law but cannot talk to him or be close to him.

Taking me into your heart again.

Yeah.

If I put it away, I won't have to worry about the handle becoming weird again... After all, even if my brother-in-law doesn't know, I'll still be embarrassed.

I can let my imagination run wild.

Next, my brother-in-law will rescue the person he wants to find in a very handsome way. How can a woman who doesn't know him make my brother-in-law fall in love with her? I am also very curious.

As for jealousy...

If I am also destined by fate, I am very satisfied with the current situation. I hope my brother-in-law can follow the destiny... that way, I can always be by his side. Maybe my thoughts are weird compared to my sister, but it is already weird for my brother-in-law to have such a thing happen... is there anything wrong with me becoming a little weird? Besides, if I don't become weird, I can't be with my brother-in-law. For example, I secretly envy the role that needs to be comforted regularly, but I'd rather be the role that can relax every time my brother-in-law comes.

I can start now.

No need to think about rehearsals or time. I'm only 19 years old... People on the Internet say that you'll become addicted if you've just experienced that. It's normal for a 19-year-old to be full of energy.

I really haven't used the thing my sister mentioned...the same goes for the massager I bought in the drawer, at least at first it was intended to relieve shoulder discomfort.

That... it's very comfortable to use it with the imagined picture.

If you use something more professional, it's for comfort...

I want the real thing too.

But my brother-in-law can't be around me every day...so it's normal for him to be interested! Besides, this is the knowledge my sister taught me, so it's my sister's fault! I didn't know there was such a shameful thing before.

"Ok?"

“This is refining…”

and many more!

Shouldn't you keep me inside your heart and only take me out when you need to face a strong enemy?

Why take it now?!
No!

"..."

I saw my brother-in-law staring at the knife handle that was soaked with water. If I had the nerve to do it, I would have hid under the quilt and would not come out even if I was beaten to death.

"Could it be possible... that after the bonus, the Philosopher's Blade can use water magic?"

"..."

"water polo."

"..."

"Water Hose Car."

"..."

"Water Dragon Breaks..."

Would my brother-in-law be so childish behind my sister and me's backs?

That's not right!
It's not water magic!

Stop shouting weird move names! If I yell later... I'm sure you won't take me seriously?! Ugh... that's too weird.

Even stranger is coming.

I felt something rushing into my body again, and it began to change uncontrollably. It was stretching.

"If you kill ordinary people, you can't absorb magic power. If you kill those who can use magic... you can refine it."

"This thing... is a new ability?"

"..."

I dare not look my brother-in-law in the eye. But because I am a knife, I don't even have the right to close my eyes.

The current situation is easy to understand.

My state changed because of my brother-in-law's ability. The knife of normal length had a layer of pink glow.

But the glow is pink and that’s fine...what shape is it!

I just thought about the massager for a moment. Why did the glow become like this?
normal.

Come back to normal soon...become a little more handsome. Like the handsome ones in the comics I read.

"It's changed again... I don't understand."

call.

Finally, it's a proper long sword. Isn't it cool? The glow is just like the extension of the sword energy in the comics.

"..."

Wait for my brother-in-law to take me in.

Something suddenly occurred to me.

If even my thoughts can affect the color and even the appearance of the knife, then doesn't that mean... I have to be extremely patient and not think about anything indecent.

If I really looked like a massager, would my brother-in-law use it with the new destiny?

"..."

Why am I excited about this?
I am a knife, a knife without emotions. I am not a massager, I am a knife. Let me repeat that.

11 month 14 day.

early morning.

My brother-in-law never thought about using the normal method to get up there. After all, since he got up from the birdcage, there has been no stopping... enemies.

There really are people who can perform water magic.

"..."

My brother-in-law was also injured. His ability to use it at high intensity doesn't last long.

In fact, I have always had a question that I don’t understand and want to know... but I don’t want to uncover my brother-in-law’s bad memories.

What do stickmen really represent?

Is it true that the stick figures that were drawn are not just drawings, but real events? But I also feel that it is impossible for people to come back to life infinitely after they die.

"That's it."

"You are very powerful, but I am still here in the Principality of Rozalia."

"..."

The man holding the giant sword didn't know magic, but he was like a solid wall blocking my brother-in-law.

I'm not damaged.

But my brother-in-law was damaged.

I wanted to speak, to do something...like, to be more useful. But my brother-in-law could no longer hold me.

"..."

I get it now.

Why didn't my brother-in-law want to tell me? He just brushed it off and smiled again.

Pick me up and commit suicide.

I have obviously gradually gotten used to getting blood on my body, as my brother-in-law will wipe it up afterwards anyway...but getting blood on my body from my brother-in-law is a different matter.

11 month 13 day.

late at night.

"..."

"You dare to kill me? I am from Prince Fiona's family...Puchi."

I still remember.

I haven't forgotten that my brother-in-law has killed this woman once before. Now she is in front of my brother-in-law again.

"Really...it seems that this world is not that simple."

"..."

She had committed suicide before, but she seemed to be used to it. She didn't care at all.

My brother-in-law didn't seem to plan to attack again. He quickly dealt with the woman again and turned back.

And I finally understood.

The stick figure drawings I saw in 2067 were real. My brother-in-law really had been through so much... and he was still able to take care of me in that situation.

Just like saving and loading a game.

But it’s not data that you can go back to with just one click.

It's more than just stick figures, right?
Save me and my sister, save Xueer and the others...

Why not say it?

Talking about it will only add to your troubles, and my sisters and I can't help.

All I wanted to do, all I could do… was to bury my brother-in-law’s face in my chest, or on my knees, and then listen.

My mood and thoughts can affect the appearance of the knife, so if I want it to be stronger and more durable...that's fine too, right?
11 month 14 day.

early.

Tavern.

My brother-in-law came here to eat again, but his other purpose might be to come and see the woman he rescued before.

"Are you really here?"

"……Um."

what?

No matter how bad you are at speaking or how you don't know how to speak, you should at least say thank you, right?

"..."

My brother-in-law is also a blockhead.

Obviously, he was a hero saving a beautiful girl, so why not strike while the iron is hot? In a place like this, no one talks, and someone just died... just to kill time, I think... If I can do it, of course I don't need to, but I'm a knife. Wouldn't it be nice if someone else could do it?

"She said a man introduced her. I was wondering who it was. It turned out to be you, who is generous. You are handsome and kind. You are very popular in our place~"

"..."

I didn't like the maid very much because I had heard her act similarly frivolously with other men before.

"that……"

The woman rescued by my brother-in-law suddenly spoke.

"...Thank you. The money... doesn't have to be so much. I will find a way to repay you."

"It's okay. Just live well."

"..."

My brother-in-law is an idiot.

The girl has already taken the initiative to talk to her, especially a woman who has been abused and may be receiving kindness for the first time. Why not talk more? Why not take her for a walk?

Now is the time when she is feeling insecure, so she will definitely agree to find a house and live together.

I... I don't think about anything when I'm shivering. I'm very happy.

My brother-in-law would at least have this feeling. He would only stare at the seductive woman in front of him... He felt that it would be difficult to find one casually, but he was willing to be saved like this.

"I want to ask, there is a man in the Agate Autonomous Region who is very good at using a sword... He is very burly."

"..."

My brother-in-law started gathering information again.

what.

I am also very curious.

On the one hand, I hope someone can help my brother-in-law relax and take my place temporarily...

On the one hand, I really like the way my current brother-in-law treats women without any interest or expectation in return.

I hate... this kind of habit.

This is also a secret, I won’t tell my brother-in-law… he already knows.

I will become stronger.

And if I bring back the woman that I was destined to be with this time, I will still do my best to help maintain the harmony of the family. Well, family, now... it's a big family.

11 month 14 day.

morning.

Su Ming planned to go directly to the local tyrant and ask how to smuggle himself across the border.

It's impossible to get any information from the tavern. Even in the Doma Autonomous Region, few people know the strength of the people in the Agate District or the Imperial Capital... They just know that they can't afford to offend them.

Rather than trying to prove a breakthrough and fighting a somewhat difficult guy face to face, it is safer to find a local snake. Who knows if that difficult guy has a stronger helper behind him? Round-the-clock battles are Su Ming's weakness.

"Boom——"

Just as Su Ming was about to take a step, the ground suddenly shook.

earthquake?

But it was strange that although the people on the street also felt it, they did not panic as Su Ming remembered during the earthquake. They just stood there in a daze.

"It's only been a few days? You're here again?"

"It's time to change the saint. The current saint is completely useless... The church only takes money but does nothing."

"It's too close... Damn it, how long can I live if I keep going like this?"

"..."

Su Ming seemed to have made a mistake.

The 'border' that the intelligence agent is talking about is not just a border, it is just called differently.

"A master from the Agate District, right?"

"They don't even know how to execute people... What is the Doma Autonomous Region? Isn't it just a prison for the poor? It sounds so nice. This is a prison. The rich have taken up all the safe places, and all the bad things happen here."

"An earthquake could come at any time. Anyone could be hugging a woman one second and fall to their death the next. What's wrong with calling it a punishment? Damn it."

"No matter where you come from, don't mess with me."

"..."

Su Ming followed the crowd and jogged towards East Street, and saw it as well.

A huge hole suddenly appeared where the drug addicts were dealt with. The gravel road, the broken walls, and some homeless people hiding there were all gone.

The irregular hole was filled with rubble, bricks, and soil...some of it was sliding down. There was a bottomless black below. There was no sound from the things that fell in.

"Luckily it happened here this time, those who died were just scum."

"Don't look at it. Let's find a way to deal with this... Now those masters up there should finally make some moves. It happened just two days ago and it happens again."

11 month 14 day.

noon.

The people here seem to be stimulated by something.

If someone gets drunk in broad daylight and starts thinking about doing something with a woman at the entrance of a red-light district...no one will laugh at him.

"Actually... this is the first time I've seen someone as handsome and humble as you."

Even the maids in the tavern seemed to be more relaxed. They pulled down their collars more boldly to seduce Su Ming.

"Whether you are here for fun or for business... wouldn't it be nice to have some nice views along the way? My room is on the second floor of the tavern, and I've never been so proactive."

"..."

"Saint?"

"I guess she will be dragged out and executed in the next two days. Three days ago, the master above swore that the Saint would pray for us even if she didn't eat or drink. Now it's useless and she can only die."

"..."

"Are you... having health problems?"

"Miss Luluye, stop seducing that wooden lump and come and have fun with us?"

"Hehe, do you want bullets?"

"..."

When I saw this maid before, I never thought that she could take out something like a short bird gun from her thigh straps.

"There's no reaction to this... I'm getting tired of it. Please come more often~"

"..."

Before leaving, he was molested by the maid.

Su Ming seemed to understand that mentality a little bit. Enjoy life while you can.

"..."

Outside the pub, no, I should say as long as it is in an open place where the view is not blocked by buildings, as long as the weather is not too bad.

Everyone can see it.

Standing next to the birdcage leading to the Agate District stands an observation deck that seems to have been derived from the location between the Agate District and the Imperial Capital.

It's not for sightseeing.

It is an execution platform that can be seen by people from the Imperial Capital, the Agate District, and the Doma Autonomous District.

(End of this chapter)
