Chapter 135

Two hours after Isaac left.

Having already returned to normal, Ras Al Ghul sat on his throne. Near him stood the closest comrades-in-arms and commanders of the detachments who survived after the "raid" of the enemy.

The commanders reported on the losses, both financial and resource, and human. 376 soldiers were killed during the assault, several dozen more were seriously wounded.

Ras Al Ghul frowned but said nothing. And only after a long silence he gave the order to disperse everyone except his daughter and faithful assistant Lady Shiva.

- Father! Thalia broke the silence first. - Will you leave it like that? He refused your offer, and moreover, he showed that he is stronger than you. He also delivered an ultimatum to us.

- Don't get excited, Thalia, - Ras pulled her back. - he may have defeated me, but he did not want to kill or conflict with me personally. Don't you understand his motives? Do not understand what kind of person he is?

"I'm afraid I'm not as wise as you are.

- He is not a hero or a villain in the usual sense of the human mind. His actions are not deliberately harmful. He is clearly aware of his actions and consequences. At least for the most part. Yes, he is not experienced, but experience comes with practice. He also does not have any "hero complex", he does not reckon with the usual "humane ideas" of humanity or their morality. Isaac Dinklage killed everyone who stood in his way because he needed to save his ... stepdaughter. He did it out of necessity. The same Batman would put everyone at risk for the sake of his morality, which was formed due to childhood trauma. He is certainly a genius, but limited by himself. And for Batman, he himself bears the greatest danger! Dinklage is guided by his notions of honor and his morality, which is different from others. For him, the main thing is close people: family, friends and allies. Such a person would be the perfect candidate for my successors, Thalia. Therefore, I think I have already decided on the choice of the candidate finally.

Thalia gritted her teeth. No one asked her again, her father did not care about her opinion or possibilities. After all, she was very smart and strong to take his place. But Ras Al Ghul could not entrust a woman with the position of head of such a large organization - the brainchild of his entire life.

- That is, I am again not honored even with the thought that I can become a worthy replacement for you? Thalia asked from under her forehead.

Shiva sighed heavily.

- You will not become the leader of the League of Assassins!

- This man made such an impression on you in such a short time ... I even envy him. For a century of my existence, I have not been able to do this. Perhaps he really is better than me. Let me go. I have some responsibilities.

- Go.

Thalia was in a bad mood. And it was not the loss of personnel that grieved her. Death is the norm for the League of Assassins, despite the presence of the Pit of Lazarus, neither she nor her father are immune from death. And she knew it for a long time. Therefore, she is always ready to meet her with dignity.

She was gnawed at her father's attitude towards her. With these thoughts, she decided to go away from everyone to her chambers.

But when she entered there, she saw that one of her wardrobes was completely dug and there were some parts of her wardrobe missing.

She knew that Dinklage had taken some weapons from the battlefield and even cleared out some of the caches that were at the base. She understood this, the right of the winner and trophies are sacred. But she could not understand why he needed her underwear ...

Isaac Dinklage.

And what the hell do I need her underwear for? Now in my "Inventory" a whole bunch of underwear of different styles and colors that my clone "to joke" stole from, I suspect, from Talia Al Gul herself. She will brand me a pervert when she finds out ...

It seems as if my clones are controlled not by common sense, but by the System.

However, in addition to this "present", I received more pleasant trophies from the clones in the form of a couple of million dollars, several kilograms of gold, a bag of diamonds and a set of various "hardware", as well as the clones managed to steal some of the manuscripts and valuable books from the local library.

We were already far from Nande Parbat, on our way to the wonderful and dear Gotham, then I released Jade into the wild. At first she silently listened to my intelligible speech using the "Aura of Fear" and chakra pressure. And then she grew bolder and tried to argue with me. I used the old grandfather's way. As a result, she fell silent for the rest of the way and no longer sitting, but standing listening to me looking pouting like a "war kitten" with eyes wet with resentment.

Then I gave her time to think it over and come to logical conclusions that she was wrong and that it was impossible to run away from home, leaving her little sister alone with her crazy dad. And he himself looked through the system messages. As a result, if you do not grind and tell briefly, I got:

+ 4 new levels.

+ 5 to Strength

+ 9 to Dexterity

+ 7 to Stamina

+ 1 to Intelligence

+ 3 to Intuition

+ 5 to Luck

+ 4 to Charisma

+ 2 to Leadership

+ 8 to Paphos

+ 7 to Will

+ 3 to Strategist

+ 30 s. O.

+ 3% chance of meeting a "celebrity"

+ 2% chance of surviving in all conditions

And I also got new skill levels:

Search for problems + 1 lvl., Leg of Chuck Norris + 4 lvl., Possession of melee weapons + 5 lvl., Sniper + 3 lvl. Narutotherapy + 1 lvl., Stealth + lvl 1, Melee + lvl 4, Wolverine + lvl 1, Berserker mode + lvl 1, Dinklage style + lvl 2, BI Master + lvl 4, Masochist + lvl 1 ., Aura of Fear + 5 lvl., Thief + 3 lvl., Burglar + 3 lvl., Adept of Sheogorath + 2 lvl.

Well, separately for the chakra, the system added a little to me:

+ 5000 to chakra.

+ 500 to control.

But equally important messages were about changing relationships with other characters:

+ 500 to relationship with Ras Al Ghul

+ 500 to relationship with Sandra "Lady Shiva" Wu-San.

+ 200 to relations with Talia Al Ghul.

+ 400 to relationship with Jade Kroc.

+200 to relationship with Lucifer Morningstar.

+200 to relations with (co) Death.

It's strange, I seem to have added work to Luc and Death, but they treated me well ... It's strange. Though, it is a goddamn thing to think about the train of thought of these titans (even though this is even an understatement). I am a creature of the wrong level and class.

Oh yes! Class. I now have grade 78 and therefore I can choose "Barda" for myself. True, then you will need to think about choosing a subclass.

But while this business waits, it will still be necessary to gain those two levels. In the meantime, we fly to Gotham.
