Start with the Soul Forge

Chapter 351 351. As expected, every time you arrive at a Taixu Realm, there will be an extremely powerful countermeasure (the third update)
In a luxurious restaurant a few kilometers away from the assassination site, Mo Hao and Xiyue sat opposite each other.

This is a pair that looks completely mismatched. One of them can be seen as a lady from a wealthy family no matter how she dresses or how she looks.

The other is a soldier in military uniform. These two beings are in completely different dimensions, and their lives are like two parallel lines that will never intersect.

In this country that has just been defeated in the war, being a soldier is not a respected identity, and even the people will mock the soldiers passing by on the road.

It is mocking that these people actually need money from the country to redeem them.

At the end of the war, the [Leinigeman Empire], which had very little force to deploy to the battlefield, had to endure the sky-high ransoms offered by other countries in order to prevent several surrounded armies from being annihilated.

And this ransom was not included in the compensation. In addition to this money, the [Leinigman Empire] also had to pay a sky-high compensation as a defeated country.

Although for these soldiers, it would be better for them to die on the battlefield.

After being defeated in a war, the country had to pay to redeem the soldiers. After returning home, they were subjected to endless ridicule and humiliation because of their identity as soldiers.

In fact, several returning soldiers could not bear such humiliation and pulled the trigger directly at those who laughed at them. Some even went to crowded places on the street and committed many bloody crimes.

Although it was several of the armies that were redeemed, the people would not specifically distinguish which unit the soldiers in front of them were from. They would simply insult and mock anyone in military uniform.

At that time in the [Leinigeman Empire], in the eyes of the people, the status of soldiers was even lower than that of beggars and prostitutes.

In fact, if Xiyue hadn't been leading Mo Hao, when he approached the gate of this place, the guards would have come to stop him from going forward.

There were a lot of decorations around the place where the two of them were sitting. The whole restaurant was consciously trying to provide customers with a quiet and undisturbed environment, which helped Mo Hao avoid some trouble.

If other customers saw Mo Hao, something unpleasant would definitely happen.

After listening to Xiyue's story, Mo Hao pressed his nose bridge helplessly, although he knew very well that every time he explored the Taixu Realm, there was a great probability that he would be severely targeted.

After all, when others enter the Taixu Realm to explore, they just go fishing and dig some aquatic plants. At best they can catch some fish in the net, and they may not even be able to catch all of them.

But when Mo Hao entered the Taixu Realm to explore, the bottom line was that he was drained, so it was obviously unreasonable that he was not targeted.

But he never thought that his identity at the beginning would be so deceptive. He was afraid that the reputation value of the soldiers of the [Leinigman Empire] now starts at [Hostile].

"That is to say, if I walk down the street in this outfit, there is a high possibility that someone will throw mud at me, or even throw excrement at me, right?"

"If it weren't for the news of food rationing and purchase restrictions these days, you would have been splashed with water not long after you left the house."

Xiyue's appearance, like Mohao's, has also changed to a certain extent. Her facial features and skin color have been slightly adjusted to make her look more like a European or American.

While observing the surrounding environment, she communicated with Mo Hao, "But you don't have to worry too much about this. The Congress and the nobles have decided to start publicizing the heroic deeds of the war to the public in a few days to reverse the reputation of the army."

"After all, they still need the power of the army to protect themselves. I heard that the people of a country called [Eminia] overthrew the nobles and sent the king and nobles to the gallows and guillotine. Now the parliament and the nobles are somewhat sensitive to the increasingly fierce voices of the people."

This is not surprising. After all, the [Leinigeman Empire] signed a treaty as a defeated country, and the compensation must be shared among the people.

If they don't have an army to protect themselves, the people who can't survive will probably learn from other countries and send the nobles and parliamentarians to the gallows.

"So, what is your current identity?" Being able to learn this kind of news, coupled with the assassination that just happened, Xiyue's status in this Taixu territory is obviously not low.

"Xiyue von Venern, the daughter of a prestigious noble. Luckily, both she and her husband died in the war before I arrived. All her inheritance and noble status belong to me."

He was indeed lucky, with noble status, no supervision from direct blood relatives of his superiors, and even a large inheritance.

Compared to Mo Hao's situation where all the dice exploded when he threw them, Xiyue's situation was like a leopard with three sixes thrown.

This kind of luck made Mo Hao somewhat jealous. He had explored the Taixu Realm so many times, but he had never encountered such a good identity.

"I have lost contact with my teammates. Can you help me find them?"

Xiyue naturally would not refuse. At least for her, the convenience brought by her noble status should be used to solve some troublesome things.

Not to mention that she now needs help from Mo Hao.

"My trouble is much simpler. Someone wants me dead."

The identity of a noble is good, but it does not mean that the explorer can be completely relaxed after entering the Taixu Realm. Xiyue also has troubles that are difficult to deal with.

"My distant relatives who are related by blood will own the noble status as soon as I die. There are also some other minor nobles who covet my noble status."

"The assassination today was probably carried out by some extremist groups. Since Eminia executed the nobles and the king, other countries have shown similar signs."

Mo Hao tilted his head slightly, a little puzzled, "With your ability, it shouldn't be difficult to solve it, right?"

Xiyue's strength, even in her current half-crippled state contaminated by the power of the Taixu Realm, is second only to Mo Hao's main fighting force among them.

If the opponent recovers to his prime, even Mo Hao will have to think about how to win.

Fighting off an assassination attempt by an extremist group is almost like a piece of cake.

"No." Xiyue shook her head. "After entering the Grand Void Realm, the pollution in my body began to become active. Using my power would risk further contamination."

"Moreover, the mysteries that should have disappeared in history have also returned from the New World. The nobles are very wary of those mysteries that have left and returned."

"I don't know where their hostility towards the mysterious comes from, but my intuition tells me that it's best not to appear too peculiar."

"I still have use for this noble identity, so I'd better not take action unless it is necessary."

"If possible, I hope you can join me as the captain of the guard."

Xiyue cannot take action unless it is necessary, so naturally she needs sufficient combat power to act as a facade.

But after thinking about it, Mo Hao shook his head and rejected the proposal.

"No, I have things to finish here too."
