Imperial North.
The temperature was getting colder and colder, but Tazmi's body still exuded a fiery aura.
Holding Hedao Yiwen, he snorted coldly, shattering the ice surrounding his body.
Lost again.
As expected, Esdeath's care was welcomed. I really don't know where I learned this kind of care that stimulates people's self-esteem. It's so irritating.
It's just that Tazmi doesn't like it very much, but this special way of communication seems to be very suitable for Esdeath.
Sure enough, as Noah said, this trip was perfect.
She still remembered what the Teigu said before leaving.
"Tazmi will be the brightest gem, but he needs to be polished hard.
When all the dust of oneself is wiped away, all the potential is stimulated, and all the blood is burned.
Then that will be the day when you, General Esdeath, are defeated. "
…Then that will be the day I lose.
But before that, Tazmi would provide me with endless pleasure.
This time the journey has become a process of mutual confrontation and taming.
On the way, the boy was reading a book, fighting and being ravaged. Reading, fighting, and being ravaged.
The way the two maintain this harmony keeps moving forward, and Tazmi's second psychological impact is about to come.
Hedao Yiwen, who knew the inside story, finally sympathized with this little guy.
Although Noah is not in the north, he has arranged everything.
To cultivate your will, tempering through suffering is essential.
Whether he can break out of his cocoon and become a butterfly depends on the young man himself.
Tatsumi... is really in pain.
His swordsmanship was evaluated superficially by Ichimonji. And his heart didn't hold anything else besides anger.
Progress was getting slower and slower, despite Esdeath's constant encouragement, but to him, such encouragement was almost the same as ridicule.
Chapter 41 Sword and Principle
The two books left by the teacher also seemed like a curse, making him at a loss as to what to do.
There is a way forward, but the anguish of not being able to get through it cannot be released even by a young man with a clear mind.
Esdeath, the pseudo-intimate elder sister, is online.
After all, she still enjoyed this kind of honeymoon trip, and naturally started to talk about the past.
Tazmi's past was naturally very simple. She cultivated well in the village, left the village and fell into darkness in the imperial capital, then fought through the darkness. It was as simple as that.
Esdeath, the legendary general, has a different resume. He has been accompanied by killings since he was a child.
The northern tribes learned the law of the jungle, and her father took the little girl to hunt dangerous species.
And told her that the weak will be ravaged and the winner will dominate everything.
It can be said that half of Esdeath's growth direction is due to the foundation laid by this old father, and the other half is his natural talent for killing.
Until the foreigners from the north broke through the border one day, massacred her tribe, and lost all her tribesmen.
Esdeath has just entered the second stage of her life.
Tazmi was a little surprised. Was Esdeath's cruelty in the north out of revenge?
"revenge?"
"No, it's not.
It's just because my father and the others are not strong enough that they will be like this. Foreigners will be killed by me regardless of whether they are strong enemies or not.
The strong dominate everything. That's all. "
Such cold words and firm heart really complemented her devilish essence.
This kind of strong person who fully implements his life creed will be stronger regardless of right or wrong.
And Tazmi also discovered her own problem, that is, her sword was confused.
In the past, when I knew little, I could still fight without hesitation. The more I knew, the more hesitant I was to take action.
This is the price of going outside the rules.
If you just rely on your passion, then the biological armor-type Teigu that can continuously evolve like the evil ghost is indeed a very good no-brainer choice.
But the way of the burning sword... it requires too much.
"I believe Tazmi will become stronger."
"why?"
Tazmi didn't understand why Esdes was more confident than herself.
"Because when you swallowed the burning blood, the domineering radiance from your body shocked me.
This was an unprecedented sense of oppression, and the devil's essence in his body was trembling. "
Esdeath also expressed unabashedly higher expectations.
Tazmi suddenly fell silent. That was Teacher Noah's power and had nothing to do with me.
So all I have is the sword and the principles in the book?
[Sword and reason are the strongest. 】
When the weather became colder and colder, they officially set foot in the north.
The scenery in the north is completely different from that in the imperial capital, with desolate mountains, hard frozen soil, and even more hungry and crazy dangerous species.
A more primitive and pure ecological environment comes into view.
Here Tazmi finally understood how much Esdeath's aura matched this place.
Because the other party is stronger.
Her attacks became heavier and more violent, with powerful moves forged from ice coming one after another. The blood that flowed from the torn dangerous species made this beautiful and dangerous woman even more... charming.
At the same time, it was only here that Tazmi realized how high Esdeath's prestige was.
The Imperial troops in all towns paid the highest respect and the most fanatical faith to the Northern General.
Including civilians, awe and fear are also mixed with deep love.
This is the reputation of the patron saint of the north of the empire.
The enemies of my enemies are my heroes.
A heroic figure like Numa Seka emerged from the north. He never lost a battle with a gun in his hand. He had a terrible situation strategy. He used his country's fortress cities as a stronghold and never stopped invading the empire.
It is a disaster for the Imperial people on the border. The name of the enemy's hero is forged with the blood of the Northerners.
Esdeath's strong suppression of the northern aliens and the execution of Numa Saka brought an unparalleled sense of security.
After all, if millions of aliens break through the border and enter the empire, ordinary people like them will be the first to suffer miserable conditions.
No one cares about how many people Mr. Esdeath has tricked and killed, or how many powerful men he has ravaged.
Because the Ice Queen is only interested in the strong, ordinary people only need to rely on her to survive.
At this moment, Tatsumi finally understood the words "stand" and "protect".
I understand more clearly that Esdeath in the empire and Esdeath in the north have two different concepts for the country and the people.
A lot of Tazmi's questions were answered and increased.
Tazmi, who seemed to have found a path among all the clues, began to visit ordinary people along the way as the teacher said.
To understand their needs for the empire and all aspects of life.
"I don't care what happens to the empire, as long as those wolf cubs from the north don't come over."
"Join the army. You must join the army! Lord Esdeath never deducts bonuses and benefits from his subordinates. You can also become a hero in your hometown."
"I want my kids to go to school inland, it's so poor here."
Of course, darkness is inevitable, and this is the main tone of the empire.
Those people were all hacked to death by Tazmi. He didn't have to worry about the consequences of anything he did in this area of the north.
Esdeath is the biggest supporter.
As the boy walked, he wrote down his thoughts. I also began to understand the knowledge in the books I read before.
Every time I visited, I wrote it down thoughtfully in my notebook. After reading the two books again and again in the evening, I came to new insights.
Even daily sword practice stopped.
One word is understood, and this is the beginning of understanding the truth.
[Continue, look more at all living beings in the world, and use the will of all living beings to temper your own edge. 】
Esdeath accompanied Tazmi slowly towards the military camp at the pass without any hurry.
Originally, he wanted to leave seclusion as soon as possible to find a foreign race to vent his suppressed emotions in the imperial capital.
But it's not needed now.
Every few days, Tazmi would engage in a high-profile battle with her.
Especially after officially entering the Northern Territory, although it's not clear why he would become stronger if he stopped practicing, it was so pleasant.
Now the boy's martial arts value has far surpassed the so-called heroes of the alien race, and also surpassed the Teigu users among the Hunters.
What's even more interesting is that when approaching the northern military camp, Tazmi radiates a new light.
To describe it, it was like Noah's fire. Although it was very weak, it was very dazzling.
Esdeath is very much looking forward to Tazmi bringing her bigger surprises, and she is already a little lonely on the most powerful throne.
After entering the Northern Military Camp, Tazmi saw what the Queen of the North was like.
No matter how unreasonable the request is, it can be implemented immediately, and no one dares to dissuade any operation no matter how individual it is.
such as……
There were hundreds of thousands of troops below. On the high platform, Esdeath still introduced a certain man to everyone in his own style.
"This is my love, the swordsman Tatsumi!"
……
Esdeath admitted her love in front of hundreds of thousands of troops, which also aroused the hostility of hundreds of thousands.
The feeling of being pierced by thousands of arrows was so obvious at this moment, and the terrifying pressure under the gaze of hundreds of thousands of eyes was unimaginable.
The emotions of many soldiers gathered together, as if a terrifying and dangerous species had emerged in the snow and wind in the north.
But compared to her momentum, Tazmi would not admit defeat.
"I'm Tazmi, I haven't agreed yet."
……boom! ! !
The aura became violent countless times, and the violent wind and snow began to rage on the school grounds.
But they were all resisted by the young man. This tough attitude actually made the soldiers a little more acceptable.
After disbandment.
"You want to go out alone to see the foreign races in the north?"
"Ah."
Tazmi thought that since she had seen the empire, she should also take a look at the thoughts of the alien races further north.
"alright."
Esdeath unexpectedly agreed, Tazmi's path to becoming stronger should not be interrupted.
