People in Terra, governing a bizarre little country

Chapter 923 When the whole story becomes clear

It's full, really full.

The infected assassin never imagined that his magic would be so cool!

Look, all I did was charge up and fire a light arrow! Wasn't the damage explosive enough? Weren't the special effects cool enough?

The wind is blowing, the thunder is thundering, the snow is falling, the space is distorted, and the sky is filled with incantations!

Is Ernst still alive?

Once Ernst is dead, His Majesty the Emperor will surely hold him accountable. Once the Emperor investigates and holds him accountable, the injustices and persecution suffered by these veterans will surely be redressed! Those damned officers and those treacherous accomplices will surely be brought to justice!

His Majesty the Emperor will slaughter them! And the families of these infected individuals will certainly receive forgiveness and preferential treatment!

Although it was a bit unfair to Ernst, since he hadn't done anything wrong, he had no other choice!

The gods must have heard his prayers, which is why they bestowed upon him such powerful Originium Arts!

Wait, why does my shoulder suddenly feel a little cold?

Why is it snowing?

Why is the snow so black?

Who's tapping me on the shoulder?

The infected assassin turned around with some confusion, only to meet that scarlet gaze.

"Hush-huh-"

He was startled and stumbled instinctively, only to slip and fall.

He lowered his head, and a gaze, tinged with doubt and seemingly containing a blizzard, was fixed on him through the ice crystals that had appeared out of nowhere beneath his feet.

[Sami] was somewhat puzzled, not because he was surprised that someone would attempt to assassinate Ernst—after all, Ernst was a man who had done many good deeds but also made many enemies, such as the Deep Sea Church and the remnants of the Witch King's faction; it would be strange if no one had tried to assassinate him. He was surprised that someone would attempt to assassinate Ernst in this way.

Everyone's waiting with nuclear-proof gear, and you just pull out a toy water gun and spray them?

Sami was somewhat bewildered and could only ask with a hint of suspicion:

"What else do you have?"

The assassin felt his blood freezing.

He was about to scream, but the sound got stuck in his throat.

A spell that shimmered with golden light appeared before his eyes.

He couldn't understand Sarkaz script; the incantation was a prohibition.

— [Speech is prohibited here].

This was written by Nasti, and Ramalyn enhanced the power of the incantation.

The ability to make words come true is not particularly rare on this land; many special Originium Arts possess similar abilities, and the Banshee's incantations are not unique. For example, the thunder magic of the Celestial Master's Mansion in the Yan Kingdom, and the "hum" and "ha" mantras mastered by the Old Celestial Master, have similar effects.

To dare assassinate Ernst, this is no ordinary assassin. To prevent him from mastering such an obscure Originium Arts as the Three Grips, sealing his mouth is the safest course of action!

The assassin was dumbfounded.

But he wouldn't even allow himself to be confused.

At that moment, another voice rang in his mind.

[Does your spell have any special effects?]

This is an inquiry, coming from an angry, magnificent female voice.

The assassin could have chosen not to answer the question, but when the voice rang out, he suddenly felt an irresistible force.

The other party wants to learn.

He then cannot keep secrets.

All the magical knowledge he knew went through in his mind at that moment, and Yeragand nodded.

Very well, it's completely useless.

This is certainly His power. The biggest difference between learning and adapting is that learning is active, while adapting is often passive.

If Yeragand actively wants to learn something, even without using his powers, the sheer oppressive aura of the behemoth will likely move the other party to tears of gratitude, forcing them to begin teaching him immediately.

Moreover, He used His power specifically for this purpose, as a precaution.

I'm telling you, you have to teach! I want to learn, and nobody dares stop me!

The assassin froze.

And the other side.

"Mr. Ernst, are you alright?"

Natalia stood up somewhat awkwardly and looked at Ernst, who was lying on the ground.

Ernst slowly got up and glanced somewhat awkwardly at the special effects beside him.

What could happen to him?

The hem of my clothes is slightly dirty!

Ernst himself wasn't sure how many life-saving items he had, let alone that he was going all out this time.

Upon his arrival in Chernobog, both the Internal Security and Rainbow Team contacted him almost simultaneously. The Internal Security warned him of potential dangers during his visit, stating that they were clearing risks within the academy and urging him to be careful. The Rainbow Team was more specific, pointing out the possibility of a bomb within the school.

Although he didn't think one or two homemade Originium bombs could hurt him, to avoid being caught off guard and to avoid being caught off guard, Ernst still maintained the attitude of "even a lion hunting a rabbit should go all out," and went into battle fully equipped from the very beginning!

He brought all the props with him! He even contacted the great god Yeragand in advance.

The expert exclaimed, "Excellent!"

With this lineup, even if Theresis came, he would still be reminiscing about the famous scenes of "The Shard, Deepsea Hunter, and Gua Sha"!

Ernst was also very careful; he always kept a safe distance from others.

Even Natalia was no exception.

Although they only exchanged a few simple words, he was basically certain that Natalia was not the kind of Ursus W who would welcome him with a bunch of bombs strapped to her body. However, just to be on the safe side, and given the "earnest advice" of the great god Yeragand, who always suspected everyone of being suspicious, especially Natalia, Ernst still did not shake hands with her or stand beside her.

Especially after Natalia's two brief moments of hesitation, Ernst took the initiative to take two steps away.

As a result, no one expected that Ernst, who had spent half a day guarding against the bomb, the guards, who had spent half a day searching for the bomb in the school, and the Rainbow Squad, who had warned of the bomb for half a day, would find that the bomb never appeared!

Instead, someone in the crowd inexplicably fired a shot.

Then, this assassin enjoyed the most top-tier VIP treatment ever seen on this land!

Imagine you're a regular Infected Warlock, and your opponent is the N18 Demon Rabbit Plus version of Belike.

Ernst coughed lightly and waved his hand:

"I am fine."

"Let's go, let's go."

He wasn't just speaking to Natalia, but also to the others who were looking in their direction.

The special effects in the sky gradually faded away.

Ernst raised his hand, stopping Marquis Boris, whose tears were already welling up and who was about to rush forward, and walked towards the infected assassin.

The assassin is now... well, probably no longer a threat to the Six Elements.

He can't move now because his legs are frozen.

They cannot speak because their words are sealed.

He couldn't think because his mind was still replaying his Originium Arts.

He couldn't even change his own form because the guards had already restrained him. In the [Kingdom], spells, actions, and even thoughts all became incredibly slow.

Strictly speaking, this area is already contaminated by evil spirits, and the concepts of time, space, and speed are in chaos.

The guard wanted to warn Ernst not to approach the territory of the [Kingdom] rashly.

Then he saw the kingdom begin to dissipate beneath Ernst's feet.

Even the seasoned and experienced center-backs were stunned.

What's going on? I am the genuine Blade of Ursus! Shouldn't I be standing on the Ursus Kingdom?

How come my kingdom fell apart just because you came over?

What do you mean? Are you an individual with no borders?

Before the guards could react, Ernst had already completed "air purification" and arrived in front of the assassin.

He paused for a moment and asked:

Why did you try to assassinate me?

Ya'er ended her [Learning] state, and Nasti's spell also changed form.

Everything said at this moment is true.

Some of the banshee's methods are truly effective. No wonder she was once able to sit at the same table as the Blood Demon. While the Mind-Reading Demon's ability to read minds can achieve the same effect, it's still a bit too gentle compared to the banshee's spells.

The assassin slowly regained his senses, looked at Ernst with a somewhat bewildered expression, but answered quickly.

"Because if we kill you, His Majesty the Emperor will be able to notice our injustice."

Ernst turned his head to the side, signaling the guards to stop Marquis Boris, and asked:

What is the reason for your injustice?

“I was forced to get infected. I was a soldier of the Grand Prince of Baikal. I was forced to get infected and then thrown into the city.”

“My brother works in the city's military police. He said Marquis Boris could help me, so he took me to see him. But he didn't help me at all. Not only did he not help me, he also threatened my brother to kill me.”

“He said that unless my brother kills me with his own hands, he will kill me and my brother’s whole family on charges of harboring infected people and breaking the law.”

"You are so slanderous!"

Marquis Boris finally couldn't help but cry out in surprise.

He felt the beast looked familiar when he first saw it, but at the time he was only focused on checking Ernst's condition and trying to exonerate himself. Now, however, he finally remembered.

Before arranging Ernst's visit and attending the ceremony at Chernobog Fourth High School, he did encounter a military policeman blocking his way.

The military policeman was his bodyguard, and he had always taken good care of these bodyguards, paying them high salaries and giving them bonuses regularly. But that guy who took an inch and then a mile actually brought an infected person to him and asked him to help uphold some justice.

He was so disgusted by the guy that he gave him a good dressing down!

"Don't you know the law?! Ursus law clearly states that infected people are not allowed to enter the city! Harboring an infected person is a serious crime! If an infected person is seen, they will be expelled at best, and euthanized at worst!"

"You even brought him before me! Do you know I am the lord of Chernobog? Do you know Ernst is coming in a couple of days? What if this infected person suddenly dies or explodes? If I get infected, are you going to greet Mr. Ernst? Are you going to complete the Emperor's mission? You brought a living bomb with you, are you trying to rebel?!"

"What grievance? What grievance is an infected person's? There are so many infected people in Ursus, do you expect me to seek justice for every single one of them? Or do you think I've been too kind to you? Who do you think you are that I can do things for you? I advise you to think carefully, think about your family! You know what to do! Don't waste your time on an infected person!"

After he finished speaking, he ordered the other military police to drag the two men away, completely ignoring their reaction.

He didn't care at all whether he was a soldier under Grand Prince Baikal.

Is it surprising that the soldiers under Grand Prince Baikal were infected?

The army group is not simply a non-professional army. They are stationed in the border area, and this entire area is their territory. They have countless industries here. Some of these industries are legal, some are illegal, and some are even criminal, such as colluding with the enemy or treason!

Every year, countless soldiers are infected with Oripathy due to these industries. According to regulations, they are simply transferred from a good mine to a black mine to continue working!

But there are always some people who just won't listen. They think they've suffered so much and been wronged so badly, and they like to shout it out in the streets! The unifying rule among these people is—kill them and that's it!

He didn't think the soldier brought by the military police was any different.

Besides, even if there really is some inside story, so what?

Rules are rules, they weren't made today; laws are laws, they weren't enacted today.

Go ask around, where in Ursus isn't like this?

That's Grand Prince Baikal, the mastermind behind the Third Army. Boris's title, power, and military strength—how could he possibly compare to him? Would he really help investigate?

Even if, hypothetically, they do find something out...

It's a mess for everyone.

So, let's just get rid of him.

Who would have thought that the damn military police hadn't even finished this task, yet this person was still alive?
