In remembrance?

You'll stuff yourself to death!

After Lu Ye left, a nimble figure descended from the dome of the church.

A woman wearing a skirt, trousers, and boots, covered in wounds, quietly landed beside Ernest.

"My lord, that kid just now..."

“It can be used,” Ernest continued eating. “It can also be used.”

"But that kid is so stupid... he might mess things up!"

“He’s not stupid,” Ernest sneered. “Twice, twice in a row, I mentioned Zank. Yet he didn’t mention Zank’s Imperial Arms at all.”

"You mean he wants to keep Zank's Imperial Arms?" The woman frowned. "But one person cannot use two Imperial Arms."

“You don’t understand. That kid is playing dumb. Although he comes from the border region, he’s very clever. He’s not that he doesn’t understand what I mean, but he’s waiting for me to speak first. Once I ask for the Imperial Arms, he’ll set a price.” Ernest said, “Lost, thrown away, sold… any reason will do.”

"Hmph, just tie him up and torture him until he confesses, isn't that enough?" the woman said. "Kill him, take his Imperial Arms, and we can find another Imperial Arms user."

“Heh, killing the decapitated Zank has eliminated the threat at night. He’s a big shot among the people of the capital now. If he suddenly disappears after I summon him, it’ll give them something to hold accountable,” Ernest said. “He’s one of you now, a pawn of mine. Just a greedy country bumpkin. Thorn will handle this and make him behave.”

"That's true, after all, that guy comes from the interrogation department. If you just tease him a little, he'll be more docile than a little rabbit..."

……

Besides churches.

The thorns outside the door had been waiting for a long time.

"how's it going?"

“The minister said I’m now one of the Four Rakshasa Demons,” Lu Ye said. “I don’t quite understand it either.”

“Is that so?” Thorn smiled sinisterly. “Then we’ll be colleagues from now on… Come on, let me show you around the palace. Let’s start from the garden; there won’t be any guards there, it’s a good place to talk.”

The two walked towards a certain part of the palace, remaining silent the entire way.

The number of patrolling guards around them decreased, and the scenery before them subtly changed.

Instead of various ornate buildings, there are buildings that are a bit more ordinary compared to other buildings. The surrounding plants are beautifully trimmed, making it look like someone's private large courtyard.

At this moment, Thorn spoke.

"This is the weakest point in the palace's defenses, but also the strongest."

"Why?" Lu Ye asked, intrigued.

“Because this place is General Esdeath’s residence,” Thorn said. “That woman doesn’t like people wandering around her territory, so she withdrew all the guards, and no guards will patrol here anymore.”

"Because she's very strong, she doesn't need guards, right?" Lu Ye asked.

“That’s right, but that’s what we’re saying. That woman is currently patrolling around the capital and hasn’t returned yet,” Thorn said. “Let me just ask you directly, Lu Ye, where did you hide the Imperial Arm that beheaded Zank—Five Visions Omnipotent Observer?”

"Teigu?" Lu Ye looked innocent. "I didn't find any Teigu on Zank."

Thorn's mouth gaped open, like a venomous snake flicking its tongue.

"Is that so? You killed him, but you say you don't know... What a stubborn guy. In that case, I'll pry your mouth open!"

Without any hesitation, Ji Chaolu rushed over, eight jet-black thorns that had appeared between his fingers at some unknown time.

"Wait a minute, aren't we colleagues? There's no need for us to turn on each other."

"Don't worry, I only need half your life! Hee-ha!!"

Thorn leaped high into the air, wielding its sharp thorns, and flew towards Lu Ye's neck.

Lu Ye's eyes twitched, and he drew the knife he had taken from Ou Jia's house, preparing to retaliate.

What a madman!

Is this how Ernest treats his own people?

Or is this a show of force to this stupid newbie who doesn't know how to hand over his Imperial Arms?

Regardless of the type, this treatment is far too enthusiastic.

Lu Ye could see the trajectory of the spikes in the air clearly.

Just as he was about to flick these things away, he suddenly noticed the heart rate monitor on his chest.

The scan line circled around and around, and three red dots appeared on the screen.

This means that there are more than just Thorn and himself here.

There's a third party involved!

The spikes in the air suddenly turned into solid ice, and then shattered.

"Who dares to fight in my house? Do they have a death wish?"

A cold, sharp female voice rang out.

At some point, a figure appeared on the third-floor balcony of the house.

Long, ice-blue hair.

Snow-white skin.

An enviable figure.

And that white, tight-fitting military uniform.

He was none other than the empire's strongest general.

Esdeath is the strongest in the capital.

Chapter 206 looks somewhat pleasing to the eye.

The battle was interrupted just as it began.

Lu Ye and Ji were dumbfounded when they saw the tall, icy woman in front of them.

“General Esdeath… what brings you here?” Thorn asked, neither humble nor arrogant.

Although Esdeath is the Grand General of the Imperial Capital, the country is actually controlled by Ernest.

As a close confidant of the minister, Esdeath would not kill Thorn.

"Are you stupid? This is my home. You ask me why I'm here?"

Esdeath's gaze grew increasingly cold.

A beautiful day ended with seeing this slender, deformed body in front of me.

After taking a bath, she was observing the cultivation of flower seeds in her backyard. Afterward, she went back to her bedroom to make a cup of tea. Before the water had even cooled down, she suddenly realized that two strangers had broken into her home. So she came over to check the situation and was surprised to find that they were the minister's executioners.

It was precisely because Ji was a subordinate of the minister that she could not punish him easily, which made her very angry.

During the standoff between the two

Lu Ye silently took a step back and lowered his head slightly to avoid making eye contact with the woman.

He had a vivid memory of what had just happened.

The spikes thrown by Thorn were frozen in mid-air and then shattered on the ground.

It seems that Najenda's information was accurate.

Esdeath possesses an Imperial Arm that grants her the ability to manipulate ice.

Based on her performance just now, she can freeze objects from a distance without relying on surrounding moisture.

Simply put, it means being able to create ice out of thin air.

This is getting a bit complicated.

Is this guy out of his mind? Why does he have to attack someone else's territory? Is he trying to mint coins?

Ji was somewhat hesitant to meet the woman's gaze, and bowed slightly, saying:

"No... General Esdeath, you should have been inspecting the area around the capital this morning."

They buried 400,000 rebel soldiers alive and killed countless foreigners on the battlefield.

Skilled in interrogation and torture, they showed no mercy in ravaging the enemy army...

Although she was of superior stature and appearance, it was precisely because he knew what kind of person she was that he was even more wary of her.

Not taking action lightly does not mean that action is not possible.

If you anger this woman, she won't hesitate to take action.

Even though he was the minister's private executioner, one in a million in skill, Thorn was not confident that he could escape from Esdeath's clutches.

“Oh, it seems you know my travel plans very well,” Esdeath’s lips curled into a breathtaking smile. “Because the area around the capital is very safe, I came back early. On the way back, I caught a sneaky guy who had been secretly following the troops. He’s in the interrogation room now.”

Thorn's expression changed instantly.

“Among the flowers I grow in the garden, there is one called Manzisu,” Esdeath sneered. “If you squeeze the juice from its petals and feed it to the prisoners, they will become delirious and you can get anything you want to know out of them.”

"General Esdeath..."

“You four demons of the Rakshasa have been sending people to spy on me.” Esdeath’s gaze was cold. “I personally hate the feeling of being spied on. I was just thinking about how to find a reason to cause trouble for you, but I didn’t expect you to deliver yourselves to my door.”

After Esdeath finished speaking, she coldly swept her gaze over the two people in front of her.

When she saw Lu Ye, her gaze faltered slightly, but she didn't linger for long.

"That was a misunderstanding... We just wanted to know how your plan was going!"

Esdeath completely ignored Thorn's explanation.

“Leave one arm behind and get out of here.” Esdeath’s voice was as cold as winter.

Seeing that the situation had already turned out this way, Ji knew there was no way to salvage it.

So he resolutely pulled out the dagger, plunged it into his left arm, and twisted it downwards.

Blood gushed out, and the severed arm lay on the ground, covered in a little dust.

Lu Ye's eyelids twitched as he watched.

That's really ruthless.
