Inuyasha: My job stats have no limits.

Akame looked at Shirai.

In her opinion, although Kuroko is her younger sister, she is the kind of person who is beyond redemption... well, beyond redemption in a physical sense.

Both women came from broken families and were sold to an imperial organization.

Because she was not selected as one of the seven elite assassins, Kurohime was injected with an enhancement drug by the Imperial Agency to forcibly increase her abilities. Now she is highly dependent on the drug and needs to take it regularly, so she can hardly live without the Empire.

In addition, having spent many years in the assassination squad, Kurohime has been completely brainwashed by the Empire, which is why she seems particularly hopeless.

Because she deeply loves her younger sister, Akame wants to give her a quick death and doesn't want to see her like this.

"..."

Bai Lan simply sat quietly at the table, her gaze lowered.

Only when the jet-black longsword was gently placed on the table did he raise his head and speak softly.

"Don't you have any alchemists or healing Imperial Arms in your resistance?"

"..."

Among the forty-eight Imperial Arms created by the founding emperor, those with healing abilities are all national treasures.

This is something that no weapon-type Imperial Arm can compare to, so Akame doesn't know whether the Resistance Army actually has one.

Although there are no healing Imperial Arms, there are still alchemist resistance groups, but they are few in number and usually hide in the core of the resistance, making it difficult to meet them even once in a while.

Therefore, Akame couldn't answer Bai Lan's question at all and could only awkwardly change the subject.

"So there's still hope for Kuroko?"

“It’s not a big problem.” Bai Lan thought for a moment and said, “For example, the God’s Hot Spring has a healing effect that is at least at the level of a Rank Armor, and may even be comparable to an Imperial Armor.”

"The hot spring's location is too mysterious, but there is an Imperial Arm called 'World Encyclopedia - Longo Longo' in the Imperial Palace, which can be used to find this hot spring."

"Oh, Captain, you know so much."

Ran suddenly said, "I just don't know if you know everything about the Imperial Arms users in the Imperial Capital?"

But he realized what he had done a second later and smiled, "Sorry, Captain, I was being presumptuous. This kind of question is too much to ask."

"No, it's not too difficult, because there are only a few Imperial Arms users in total. As long as you find their characteristics, you can find them quickly."

Lan's pupils suddenly contracted, and she was about to ask Bai Lan if she knew anything, but then she saw Bai Lan turn around and leave, leaving only one sentence behind.

"Take two days off, we have a mission in two days!"

-

Meanwhile, on the other side...

Najenda rode a dangerous bird tamed by the rebels, passing through layers of clouds in the night, and landed on the open ground outside the night raid stronghold.

The raid's stronghold was nestled in the cliffs, surrounded by a dense primeval forest inhabited by a considerable number of dangerous species, serving as a natural barrier.

"What are they thinking?!"

"They actually want to join forces with the northern barbarians, the southern ethnic groups, and the northern nobles to resist the capital, and have even divided up the territory in advance."

She clearly saw through the schemes of the resistance leaders.

They overthrew the empire with the help of foreign powers, and then stabilized cooperation by dividing up territory.

The problem is that those who are not of our kind will surely have different hearts.

Even if the empire really falls, what will happen next? With three foreign tribes and a rebel army, there will be a four-way balance of power, with each side restraining the others. At that time, war will break out again for the sake of interests. What difference will there be between then and now?

Besides these three major foreign races, other forces also exist...

With renewed vigor, Najenda regained her original confident demeanor and pushed open the door to the Night Raid.

However, she sensed something was wrong as soon as she entered the room, and after a quick glance, she immediately noticed that one member was missing.

Still the most important one!

"What happened? Where's Akame?"

"Sorry, Boss..."

Lubbock, his body wrapped in bandages, looked ashamed: "When we were gathering intelligence, General Bud suddenly appeared for some reason, and Akame disappeared to cover my and Leone's retreat."

Compared to Lubbock, Leone, whose injuries were originally more severe, had now fully recovered and looked as if nothing had happened.

"Boss, I'm going to infiltrate the capital and find Akame."

Leone, who was usually all smiles, could no longer laugh. She just pursed her lips and said in a deep voice.

"This time it's my fault. Even if I die in the capital, I will bring Akame back!"

"No, let's go together!"

Najendan exhaled a breath of stale air, feeling that there was nowhere she could feel at ease, and so she said.

"Akame is our partner. She went missing while trying to save her partner, so now it's our turn to save her!"

"Lubbock, you shouldn't go."

Leone added, "Your injuries haven't fully healed, and your Imperial Arms... Anyway, don't worry, I'll do my best to help you too!"

!!!

Najenda's eyes widened as she realized that, in addition to Akame's disappearance, Lubbock's [Thousand Transformations: Cross Tail] was also gone!

She didn't understand... she just went to the resistance headquarters, why did the sky fall when she came back?

"Sorry, I paid 'Cross Tail' as toll money."

Lubbock recounted everything that happened that day, and Najendan sighed softly after listening.

"It's not your fault, this is the best solution."

“Otherwise, our night raid would have resulted in the loss of two powerful combatants and two Imperial Arms. Now, we are only losing one Imperial Arm, which is acceptable.”

However, after speaking, she stroked her chin and fell into deep thought.

That's strange, that's really weird.

Why did General Bude leave the palace, and more importantly, come to the slums?

Even if he knew that Night Raid members would appear in the slums, he would not leave the palace because of a few Night Raid members.

This was the arrogance of a great general; after all, in his view, a so-called night raid was not worth his time.

In addition, there was the riots within the Imperial Capital Garrison...

Could the culprit be that boy who stole Lubbock's Teigu...?

He seemed to be the only one who was superfluous, and he happened to be present at both the Imperial Capital Police and Bud, so it was unclear whether he could connect the whole incident.

She shared her analysis and instructed Leone to investigate thoroughly, but to be careful not to alert the enemy.

After saying that, she hurriedly left the stronghold with Lubbock.

"Lubbock and I will go to the Rebel Alliance headquarters first to see if we can match other Imperial Arms, since they don't need them for the time being!"

"I'll be back in two days."

Chapter 86 Let the World Burn (3K)

Since the "Thirteenth Division of Traitors" was officially established, Bai Lan has not been in a hurry to plan any large-scale operation to annihilate the Night Raid.

For him, waiting for the other party to come to him was far more efficient than searching the entire capital city himself.

Instead of wasting time on aimless searches, we should use it to study alchemy.

After inexplicably becoming a third-rank general in the empire, he gained some real authority.

At least let Lan search for books and documents related to alchemy for him. These people will not only not make things difficult for him, but will also provide some assistance.

Although the alchemy books he collected were far less detailed than the 'Alchemy Notebook' in the minister's hands, they were numerous enough for him to piece together a lot of useful information.

Two days.

Through repeated refinement and reading, the [Alchemy Apprentice] level quietly climbed to level two, just one thin progress bar away from level three.

"Captain, I want candy!"

A crisp sound rang out.

Bai Lan glanced at him out of the corner of her eye and saw that Hei Tong had somehow gotten up and was standing by the table. She was wearing a dark sailor uniform, blinking her big eyes, and her fair little hands were outstretched.

After being brutally beaten by Akame, Kurome became docile and stuck to Akame's back like a puppy all day long.

The 'candy' she mentioned doesn't actually have the ability to enhance combat; rather, it's a stabilizer for the 'enhancing potion' used by the Imperial Agency.

This potion, which Black Eyes calls 'candy,' is used to neutralize the erosion of the 'enhancing potion' on the user's body and alleviate the physical burden.

It's also the candy that Hei Tong uses to prolong her life.

For a long time, Black Eyes could only obtain a limited dose by completing assassination missions assigned by the Empire and accumulating battle merits.

This is also why the empire is not worried about these assassins betraying them.

However, this medicine was extremely simple to make, and Bai Lan finished it in less than a day.

Am I really a genius?

Bai Lan casually tossed a piece of 'candy' to Hei Tong, then turned to study the structure of the [Scream].

To be honest, if she hadn't been unable to find any trace of the super dangerous species, Bai Lan would have even considered forging an Imperial Arms herself.

On this continent, the territory occupied by each super dangerous species is worthy of being called a "forbidden zone." They represent the pinnacle of power in this world, and are also the rarest and most irreplaceable treasures.

Each super-dangerous species is itself a moving treasure trove, containing every organ in its body, even its hair and saliva!

Take the legendary "Dragon in the Clouds" of the East China Sea as an example.

A thousand years ago, the founding emperor of the empire mobilized the entire nation's resources, leading the first batch of Imperial Arms users and the army to form an expeditionary force to the East Sea to hunt down the dragon in the clouds that hovered between storms and giant waves.

The battle lasted for several days, and in the end, the empire paid a heavy price, bringing back only the feathers of the 'Dragon in the Clouds' as spoils.

Even such materials can become the core of [Thousand Transformations: Cross Tail], which is enough to show the value of Super Dangerous Species.

After that battle, the dragon in the clouds completely disappeared from the clouds over the East China Sea.

Bai Lan snapped out of her thoughts.
