Could it be that the substitute fight is now physical and there is no need for a stand-in?
It’s just that what Noah said is not like simply leaving the Hunters. Instead, it’s about joining the Hunters.
Noah gave the innocent boy a smile.
[Don't panic, I don't have much fighting power and can only stabilize the situation first. 】
[Ichimonji should be able to hold on for a while, trust me. 】
Tatsumi...Okay.
Anyway, he had no way to deal with this humanoid emperor. Even the most basic contact was initiated unilaterally by the other party. He couldn't communicate with him from the heart.
As for energy replenishment...
"My ability to act alone is EX, no problem."
Noah's appearance interrupted the hunter gathering, but Esdeath indeed had a big heart like a lunatic, and had no qualms except occasionally wanting to chop Noah twice.
Others saw the boss accepting this and acquiesced to Noah's existence.
It's just a humanoid Teigu. It's really rare. It's a mysterious Teigu that only exists in records.
It seems that this power has been lost in the empire.
Although the other people didn't say anything, they just kept their eyes on Noah.
then……
"Lan, it is better to have no books than to believe in books."
"Reading books is a means to help us understand the world in a convenient way, but it must be combined with our own thoughts."
"This way you won't be limited by dogma when teaching knowledge."
"By the way, do you have any favorite works that you can recommend to me?"
"In a few days, I will retell the work I wrote 600 years ago and show it to you. It should not be inferior to modern ones."
At this time, Noah weaved for himself the identity of a Teigu who had fought for the empire for 600 years, and published many works. Unfortunately, it disappeared in the long river of history with the passage of time.
What? Do not believe?
Please, who can come up with evidence from 600 years ago?
Later, while preparing lunch, I exchanged knowledge about cooking with Porus.
“I think the balance between the choice of ingredients and the seasoning should be…”
Along the way, he showed off some East China Sea-style delicacies. It was easy to make a few dishes with his kendo skills and control over the heat.
It gave Porus a surprise. This Teigu was quite pyrotechnic.
The handmade orange candy from Heitong's side completed the comforting work. It was not about the taste, but the attitude.
Let the girl feel that the new members care and understand her.
As for Will…Easiest.
This guy is a passionate young man who can conquer the world by himself. He can just make some interesting complaints or short stories.
Tazmi was numb.
He watched helplessly as Noah established relationships with most of the Hunter members within a day. This social attribute was terrifying.
So you are a social Teigu.
Three days later.
When Noah handed a piece of wild and dangerous barbecue to the general's hands, he made his request.
"Lord Esdeath, please let me join the Hunters."
"you?"
"Yes, Tazmi has his own persistence, so I can join the Hunters in his place."
Esdeath felt that even her big heart couldn't keep up with the thoughts of this humanoid Teigu.
only……
"In this way, Tazmi will be unable to leave the Imperial Capital, and she will also be unable to leave you."
The devil's whispers were sent into the general's heart.
Then Noah said something else, which made the famous witch in the empire look surprised and even blushed a little shyly.
Tazmi felt a surge of pure malice from a distance.
From then on, Noah officially joined the hunters, and the boy gained a brief period of freedom. He only needed to report once a week before Esdeath returned to the border.
"Hey, what did you say to her?"
"It's nothing. I'll leave the Imperial Capital with you tomorrow and come back after settling the matter of Yiwen."
"You really want to come back?"
"Of course, without a deep understanding of the center of this country, how can we act rashly? The identity of a hunter... hehehe."
Saiyu was killed by Ichimonji. Dr. Fashion, who has not appeared in the past few days, can also arrange the time to die. Guards like the three beast warriors who have been distorted by war are not worth the trouble.
Anyway...I want the Hunter Corps!
The burning empire starts with the hunter!
Chapter 26: Transformation on the way back to the village
the next day.
Noah took Porus' bento and said goodbye to the hunter's companions.
The relationship between everyone has been really good these days. There are not a few twisted psychos. In fact, these people are also good young people.
"It was just to accompany Tazmi back home in glory. He finally made a majestic name in the grand arena."
"So, you know."
Will laughed and said that he understood very well, and insisted that Noah and the others bring the sea fish from their hometown, but they were politely declined.
"I will bring back some local special candies. The candies in the Imperial City are too boring and lack any special features."
The black-pupiled eyes suddenly became ecstatic.
"I will write my own book when I have time, and I think I can give it to you when I come back this time."
Lan smiled and said that he would also prepare some books for exchange.
Tatsumi...
Well, you hunters are really united.
Fortunately, Esdeath valued Tazmi the most.
A gentle man holding a man in his arms killed him until he almost had a nosebleed. The impact was too strong.
Tazmi followed Noah with a bloody nose.
"Mr. Noah, let's get out of the city quickly. Chitong and the others will definitely be worried about me these days."
Tazmi couldn't wait. He was very nervous during the past few days in the imperial capital.
I was worried that I would be exposed, I was worried that my night attack on the base would be discovered by the mysterious Dr. I was worried that Uncle Ichimonji wouldn't be able to hold on anymore.
I can't sleep well every day.
Of course, the thing that disturbs sleep the most is Esdeath appearing in bed on time every night.
It's really torture. Using a young man who is full of energy as a pillow can be called a double torture of the mind and body.
Now that I have left the hunter's station, I feel like the sky is high and the birds can fly.
But he was immediately poured cold water on Noah.
"First of all, call me Teacher Noah."
"Secondly, go back to the village and give money."
"You are a swordsman who has returned home in glory, and you are also half an imperial civil servant. Although your every move will not be closely watched, at least you will be investigated."
"Even if the enemy finds the night raid base, what does it matter? As you said, the general of the night raid, Najeshitan, is an extremely wise person. If she can't win, she won't run away."
"And your commitment to your two friends has been completed. It's time to explain it to your family."
Noah still believed in the basic qualities of Night Raid, a killer organization.
Especially when strong reinforcements have been brought and Najexitan is still at the base.
…Tatsumi was silent.
The ups and downs of life in the empire made him almost forget about himself when he left the village.
The village still needs saving.
So after leaving the city, he hurried towards his hometown. The moment he left the city, Noah seemed to have discovered something and showed an interesting smile.
Two groups of people followed them to the city gate and watched them leave the imperial capital.
One party should be the minister. Although he did not deliberately publicize the emergence of his humanoid Emperor, he could not hide it from the fat man.
Tazmi herself also has an ambiguous relationship with Esdeath.
It is normal to pay more attention to things that affect the power structure of the empire.
The person who can control the government is certainly not simple.
As for the other side...Dr. Fashion, you have already met your death.
The scientist only made a brief appearance in the hunter base and then disappeared.
The communication with Tazmi also seemed to be testing something. Is this a clue that was missed before?
That’s right, with the blessing of the Five Visions, it’s normal for that guy to see something different.
You don't even want to study the rare humanoid imperial artifacts in your empire. Your image as a mad scientist has collapsed.
So this kind of tracking method has been used. It seems that the first list of the Hunter's dead personnel has been released.
But it doesn’t matter, these are all minor issues.
The real big problem is Tazmi.
The boy no longer has the evil ghost-haunting Teigu that can transform into a dragon, so how to develop it is something Noah needs to study.
After all, it was a single word that brought the blame, which abruptly changed this young man's life.
A young man who has not killed his sister to sacrifice his life needs a new path of growth. We cannot let this child become a reckless man who kills everyone he sees.
And by the way, some of Tazmi's basic cognitions should be reversed.
For example, the nature of Night Raid has left a deep mark on him.
Najeshitan left the child with a good impression of the southern rebels, and the idea that he would have a good life after overthrowing the empire was really absurd.
It seems that the darkness of the empire will be eradicated by then.
But it is a bit naive for a killer organization to say such things, especially a righteous killer organization.
Many evils are caused by ideas, systems, culture, productivity and other reasons.
These problems will not be solved after changing the ruler.
Judging from the rebels' actions of handing over land in four directions in advance in exchange for troops, the nature of the other party is not that noble.
Changing dynasties and reshuffling the cards can indeed allow ordinary people to temporarily live a better life than before.
But this is just reincarnation.
No matter how good the banner is, a world that has not been completely demolished and rebuilt carries original sin.
So Noah decided to make Tazmi the light of the new era.
The other party has already shouldered this responsibility since he was recognized by Wado Ichimonji, and he will only help a little.
As for breaking down the three concepts and reshaping them, I am very good at this.
