"Is this place sacred?"
Ye Zai looked around at the nobles present with sarcasm, then the ice blade in his hand collapsed, and the temperature in the hall gradually returned to normal.
"Fina, let's go back."
After leaving a sarcastic remark, Ye Zai left with Fina as if there was no one else around.
And Esdeath did not stop Ye Zai. Anyway, there would be plenty of time in the future. She and Ye Zai were both in the capital, and there were plenty of opportunities to fight.
The current situation was indeed not suitable for the two of them to have a big fight. However, Ye Zai was indeed being targeted.
Especially in the confrontation just now, Esdeath was obviously at a disadvantage. For a battle maniac like her, how could she be willing to give up?
"I will go to you again, our battle is not over yet."
Esdeath looked at Ye Zai's back and said such a sentence, then she left the hall with the three beasts.
The minister on the throne looked at Ye Zai and Esdeath who left, and his face was pale with anger.
The two did not give him any face at all, which made him furious, but he couldn't do anything about it.
Ye Zai and Esdeath were the last barrier of the empire. If the two of them collapsed, then the empire was almost finished.
If he wanted to enjoy such glory and wealth all the time, he couldn't touch these two people.
Moreover, the strength of Ye Zai and Esdeath was also there, plus their prestige in the army, even if the minister wanted to do something, he couldn't beat them at all!
But fortunately, although the two of them fought in the main hall just now, they stopped in the end and didn't fight with each other recklessly. Otherwise, he would really lose face.
The reason why Esdeath didn't continue to fight was that although she was a battle maniac, she always remembered that she was a general of the empire.
As for why Ye Zai stopped and even stopped earlier than Esdeath, it was not because of the minister's face, but because he received the second mission from the system.
[Mission 2: As a hero, you can't just take advantage of yourself. You should take care of your companions.
Help the protagonist team defeat their original enemies and ensure that they can survive! "
Reward:???
(The fewer deaths in the protagonist team, the richer the reward.)]
Originally, Ye Zai really wanted to fight with Esdeath, but he received this task from the system.
If Ye Zai remembered correctly, Esdeath's opponent should be Akame.
If he intercepted and defeated Esdeath first, he didn't know if it would affect the progress of the task, so Yezai decisively chose to stop.
After Ye Zai and Esdeath left, the enthronement ceremony was successfully completed.
The little emperor, who had no ability to make his own decisions, was pushed onto the throne by the ministers and became a puppet.
As for the powerful Empire, it began its own path of destruction.
A large group of loyal officials who had been chased away by the ministers gathered together. There were also some ambitious people who couldn't stand the darkness of the imperial capital. They also formed a rebel army.
Meanwhile, Ye Zai, who had returned home, instructed Fina and Fiya to help him pack his luggage. He was prepared to go out to avoid the limelight for a few days.
"Why, Yezai-sama, didn't you just come back from a battle?
Last time, you said that you could rest for a year this time. Why are you going out again? "
When Fiya heard Ye Zai's words, she puffed up her cheeks. She was dissatisfied. She originally wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to conquer Yezai-sama.
Her sister was too shy. She knew that an excellent person like Yezai-sama should take the initiative to attack.
Although they were still young now, in this era, there were many girls who got married at the age of fourteen or fifteen in the imperial capital.
They were about the same age now. They could totally conquer Yezai-sama first. After a few years, they could be Yezai-sama's concubines!
Looking at Yezai's posture, it was obvious that he was going to leave again. She hadn't even launched her attack yet …
"Yezai-sama, why is it?"
Fiya kept pestering Yezai. She said that now she had grown up and her strength had become stronger. Even if Yezai went to the battlefield, he could take her with him.
"This time, I'm not going to war. I'm just being targeted by a troublesome woman. Although it's not that I can't defeat her … in short, it's very troublesome."
"So, where are we going?"
Unlike Fiya, Fina was quite well-behaved. She helped Yezai prepare the things and asked where they were going.
"Let's go to the tavern. Najenda's stronghold has just been established. It's not suitable to go there. It's not good if they are exposed. Besides, I don't know their specific location yet."
The tavern that Yezai bought before had now changed greatly. In addition to expanding a lot, it had now become a two-story building.
The first floor was still the same as before. It was a tavern business. The waiters were also some slightly older lolis and boys adopted by Yezai.
The second floor of the tavern was like a large office area. It now belonged to Yezai's "intelligence department."
Who were the people who came to the tavern to drink?
They were either some small aristocrats or some adventurers. It was often these people who knew all kinds of gossip and intelligence the most.
Using the tavern as a cover, the little lolis trained by Yezai sorted out and collected these intelligence.
Not only all kinds of gossip, but Yezai also had all kinds of intelligence about the residence of the aristocrats in the capital, the defensive ability in the mansion, and what evil things they had done.
Because she had a special team under her, specializing in assassination and intelligence collection, and Fiya was the leader of this team.
The members of this team were also some children who had special talents in hiding and assassination like Fiya.
Seeing Yezai who they hadn't seen for a long time, the children also crowded around. Just like in the "Black Bullet," Yezai was quite mature among the children.
After all, in this dark world, he gave them warmth and became their family.
"Is there any useful intelligence recently?
Let me have a look. I will stay here for the next few days. "
Ye Zai performed a head-patting technique on the children who were crowding around him one by one. Only then did they disperse in satisfaction.
"Yezai-sama, this is the latest intelligence collected in the past few days."
Yezai took it, then found a reclining chair and looked at it comfortably.
There was a lot of information on it, except for some things that Yezai knew, such as the ascension of the new emperor and Esdeath's return to the capital.
Even the intelligence of Najenda was collected. Akame, who went to kill Najenda, was directly persuaded by Najenda.
It even had the location of the stronghold that Najenda secretly built on the periphery of the capital when she secretly returned to the capital again!
Are the little lolis so strong?
Regarding Najenda's return to the capital and the establishment of the stronghold, even he only knew about it after receiving Najenda's secret letter.
And because of Yezai's identity, Najenda didn't even tell Yezai the specific location, but the little lolis found the stronghold of the "night raid" …
