Game Merchants Starting from the Ninja World.

Chapter 414 Esdeath's Love-Struck Mind

"Gentlemen, you are all loyal subjects of the Empire... Whoever can provide benefits to the Empire will be granted a title and a manor by me."

The familiar opening remarks came from the little emperor's mouth.

Below, most of the wealthy and businessmen trembled with fear, not daring to look up at the nominal ruler of the empire.

A wealthy man, faintly smelling of the sea, respectfully said, "Your Majesty, I am the owner of the East Sea Fish Farm, and I present to you the fattest and most exquisite giant fish from the East Sea!"

Then there is the list of donations.

Not only the giant fish from the East China Sea that he mentioned, but also various precious treasures, as well as assets that will be continuously sent to the capital.

"reward!"

The emperor shook his head and said.

These wealthy men and merchants had already communicated with the ministers, and all they needed to do was to bestow rewards as the ministers instructed.

Wealthy individuals and merchants were granted titles, estates, and various privileges by the emperor.

Esdeath sat beside her, dozing off.

She had absolutely no interest in that kind of thing, and the reason she chose to stay was because...

"Young Emperor, it's a pleasure to meet you."

A sound caught Esdeath's attention.

With a polite smile, Fang Yi looked at the bored little emperor and said, "I am a game merchant from another world. I need to obtain the [Foundation Stone] from the Imperial Arms world to build a Tower of Death. If possible, I hope you can help me collect the Imperial Arms scattered throughout the Empire."

In return, I will give you the opportunity to fulfill your wish.

As expected, it's a game of reincarnation.

Esdeath's pupils suddenly constricted, like a predator eyeing its prey, and the corners of her mouth involuntarily curled up.

From the moment she became a player, she wanted to know who the master of the Reincarnation Game was.

This is the instinct of wild animals.

No matter how good the hunting ground is, the first instinct is to find the owner of the hunting ground.

"Give me my wish?"

The young emperor blinked blankly, then chuckled, "I am the emperor of the empire, who can grant my wish?"

Most of the world's territory is ruled by empires, and I am the supreme ruler. I am the only one who has the opportunity to fulfill the wishes of others, yet someone still wants to fulfill their own wish.

That's incredibly boastful.

Fang Yi chuckled and asked, "For example, possessing enough power to resist Minister Ernest, and no longer willing to be a puppet?"

"How dare you!"

"Who are you, guard? Drag him out and lock him in the jail!"

Although Minister Ernest had left, many officials remained loyal to him.

He was furious when he saw the merchant who came to pay his respects talking nonsense.

The young emperor trembled slightly, but quickly recovered and angrily retorted, "Are you trying to sow discord between me and my ministers?"

Fang Yi, spouting nonsense, claims to be a merchant from another world.

That's ridiculous.

Fang Yi calmly stated, "The transaction is entirely based on fairness. If you are unwilling, you may choose to refuse."

In the early stages of the cycle of reincarnation, the source is scarce.

They would use various rhetoric to prove the authenticity of the reincarnation game.

But now there's no need for that at all. The Samsara Game has a solid foundation, and if the little emperor is unwilling, he can simply turn around and leave. I believe the Revolutionary Army would be happy to do things for him.

It's just that the revolutionary army is relatively weak, so it will take more time.

and,

He had long seen through the naive young emperor. Although he appeared innocent and foolish, it was all a facade; he was patiently enduring and keeping his true intentions hidden.

Even a fool could see Ernest's overstepping of his bounds; surely the young emperor could see it too?

They were simply powerless to resist.

"How interesting. You dare to sow discord between me and the ministers. Killing you directly would be too easy for you. I'll make you die willingly."

After a long silence, the young emperor seemed to make a decision and said to General Bud beside him, "General Bud, give him your Imperial Arms. I want to expose his lies in public."

"His Majesty……"

General Bude hesitated.

Although he was loyal to the Empire, the expenses of the Janissaries were provided by Minister Ernest. If he angered the minister and the funding was cut off, he would not be able to support the extravagant Janissaries on his own.

"General Bude?"

The young emperor's face darkened. Although he was young, he had long held a high position and exuded a rare amount of majesty befitting an emperor.

"yes!"

This was exactly the effect Bude wanted; to make the ministers appear as if they were being forced to do this by the emperor.

Now is not the time. Once the rebels are powerful and the Royal Guard has seized power, he can eliminate the ministers who hold immense influence in the court.

As for what Fang Yi said, "anotherworldly game merchant?"

It's purely a publicity stunt.

Even if you give the other party [Thunder God's Wrath], which allows you to control lightning, without compatibility, they will be crushed by the Imperial Arms.

Ta-da...

The burly man descended the steps, came to Fang Yi's side, and threw the armor over.

Next second,

Fang Yi easily caught the heavy Imperial Armor with one hand.

General Bud, who was waiting to see this guy make a fool of himself, paused slightly in surprise.

His own lightning armor was extremely heavy, and even the guards had difficulty lifting it, yet it was as light as a feather in Fang Yi's hands.

I sensed something was amiss.

"Deal reached."

Fang Yi's smile remained unchanged, and the Imperial Arm he was holding visibly crumbled into a palm-sized piece of rubble.

Simply gathering the essence will not cause damage to the item.

However, if you try to extract the [Foundation Stone], the item containing the power will completely disappear.

The rubble in his hand is part of the foundation of this world.

"My armor?!"

Bud's eyes widened suddenly, and the feeling of being connected with the Imperial Arms vanished.

My heart is throbbing, like I've lost something very important.

Even the very essence that the Imperial Arms bestowed upon him vanished.

"As expected, you are the master of the Reincarnation Game!"

Esdeath burst into laughter, her exquisite, porcelain-like face filled with extreme aggression. She shouted, "When that inexplicable invitation landed on me, it said it could grant all my wishes, right?"

"My wish is to fight against the strong!"

She stared intently at Fang Yi, as if she wanted to devour him whole.

Excitement caused a faint blush to rise on her fair face. She smiled and said, "Since you've made me a player, you should take responsibility for me, right?"

"You're definitely stronger than any other player I've ever met. I want to fight you!"

I will ruthlessly ravage you.

The last words were not spoken aloud, but they could not be hidden from Fang Yi.

A hint of helplessness crept into Fang Yi's smile as he said, "Your strength is too weak. If you can grow to [Tier 3], I'll agree to fight you."

These battle-obsessed gamers are really a handful.

"I can't wait..."

Completely disregarding the presence of officials from the capital and the emperor, sharp ice spikes began to appear around Esdeath.

In her eyes, the weak don't even have the right to wail.

"General Esdeath, have you gone mad?!"

The temperature dropped rapidly, and an official, shivering, stepped forward to glare at Esdeath, who dared to unleash an Imperial Arm in the palace.

puff.

The ice blade pierced his chest, freezing him before any blood could flow.

"Let's fight!"

Esdeath leaped high into the air, her fair and slender legs covered in a layer of ice armor, making her look as beautiful and aloof as an ice queen.

She swayed her waist, as if dancing in the snow, and the chilling ice whip lashed out at Fang Yi like a tail feather.

"It's like your will that the weak have no right to live."

Fang Yi remained unperturbed by Esdeath's provocative attack, maintaining his smile as he said, "Being unable to recognize your own weakness will make you lose your mind..."

Click...

The sound of ice crystals shattering.

Esdeath's swung ice whip exploded, falling to the ground with a rustling sound, and the ice armor covering it peeled off.

She suddenly froze on the spot.

"Your Imperial Arms was... stripped away?"

Esdeath was stunned. The [Demon's Essence] that had accompanied her through countless battles was being stripped away by the man before her.

Instead of being horrified, they became even more excited and charged forward unarmed.

"According to your will, consider it the price the weak pay for their plea to survive."

From beginning to end,

Fang Yi stood still, quietly watching Esdeath, now in full power, pounce on him.

With each step Esdeath took, she felt her power draining away.

From the Imperial Arms to the [Ice-Shaping Magic] she recently obtained through the Rinne Game, then her skills and experience fighting dangerous species since childhood, and finally her body, honed through countless trials, far surpassing that of ordinary people.

When they rushed to Fang Yi's side,

Esdeath's powers were sealed away, just like the weak woman she once despised, her fists limp and ultimately unable to even lift.

A text prompt appears.

[The power has been sealed. Reward points required to unseal it: 20]

"So that's how it is. Is this the value of my life?"

Esdeath was now unable to move even a finger; her fist was frozen at Fang Yi's chest, and she didn't even have the right to touch him.

Like lambs to the slaughter.

The sense of crisis that had long been forgotten in the corner of my mind resurfaced, as if I had returned to the day when my tribe was wiped out by the dangerous species.

Esdeath, who has always had a sadistic and domineering personality, felt a sense of humiliation at being trampled on.

She stubbornly raised her head, trying to muster her last bit of strength.

Even if it means tearing at the opponent with your teeth, you must hit them.

The game indicated that the amount of reward points needed to unlock the game was constantly increasing, but this could not shake her resolve.

boo.

A finger was gently pressed against Esdeath's lips, closing her wide-open mouth.

Fang Yi smiled and said, "That's enough. If you continue, even your life force will be sealed, which is a price you can't afford right now."

30 reward points

This is Esdeath's entire current net worth, including the luxury manor she just redeemed and the reward points she gained from the Zombie World.

If Esdeath remains stubborn, even if they are reluctant to give up a high-quality combat-obsessed player,

Fang Yi will not show any mercy.

"I see……"

The sound was faint, like mosquitoes and flies.

Esdeath raised her head, staring intently at the mysterious merchant who had sealed away all her power, her icy blue eyes reflecting Fang Yi's smiling face.

flushed.
