"No need... You can leave now..." Reimu still waved her hands. The other party had no hostility and no murderous intention towards her, so there was no need for her to attack her after having nothing to do.
"..." This witch is indeed difficult to deal with. Soft tactics won't work, and even using force won't work either.
After all, the amulet was made by the other party herself, and she is probably the only one who knows the effect of that kind of thing. If she is unhappy with me, she might do some tricks to the amulet, and I probably won’t know anything about it.
Thinking of this, a hint of helplessness appeared on Leona's face. It was indeed very troublesome.
Wait! I remember hearing that this morning at the Hakurei Talisman shop, this shrine maiden got into an argument with a man over having her money stolen. If I'm not mistaken, that man was that kid called Koizumi.
It was true that I stole the boy's money, but the witch had such a big reaction.
I also heard from those who bought the amulet that this witch always haggled over the price and would not accept even a penny less.
Could it be that this priestess actually... Hmm, let's take a gamble... Leone had a vague plan in mind.
"Ahem... Well, Miss Miko, we [NIGHTRAID] are affiliated with the Revolutionary Army. We can complete some missions ourselves. All you need is that amulet. Of course, we will also pay you accordingly. How about that? Miss Miko, can you negotiate a price? How about that?"
Reimu felt very impatient at first. After all, she had said twice that she didn't want to, but the other party was still pestering her. If it weren't for her good temper, she would have thrown a dream seal at him a long time ago.
but--
When Reimu heard the word "reward", her eyebrows suddenly raised and her body trembled slightly.
Well...if there is a reward for it, then making some amulets doesn't seem like a difficult thing to do.
After all, when I was in the imperial capital, I was responsible for making amulets and then selling them. This convenient amulet is very useful.
Of course, if I meet the guy who used lightning before, this amulet probably won’t be able to save my life.
This is not a talisman that adds combat continuation skills, it just saves your life to a certain extent.
This is equivalent to the attack being ineffective when the damage is lower than a certain amount, and subtracting the fixed damage and giving the opponent the remaining damage value when the damage is higher than a certain amount.
This amulet has the same function, but if all the opponents are like that guy, the power is too high and they will still die even after reducing the fixed damage.
Leone noticed something strange about Reimu, and immediately understood that this shrine maiden was just greedy for money.
If possible, I should be able to do something about this. After all, it is not me who has to pay the salary but the revolutionary army. Besides, if this priestess really has this ability, the leader of the revolutionary army will give her corresponding compensation.
This is not a matter of saving one or two lives, but countless lives on the battlefield.
"We can discuss the compensation. And if you don't like our Night Raid mission, you don't have to accept it. You just need to help us make the amulet. How about that?"
Leone also roughly guessed why Reimu in front of him rejected him.
Now Reimu also said when she was fighting with Ouka that she just wanted to make money by selling amulets. From the other party's impatient look, it can be guessed that the other party may just want to live a more leisurely life.
Since the other party doesn't like doing tasks, then you don't have to do it, as long as you get the amulet.
The other party's words, which seemed to suggest a concession, made Reimu's original determination to live a leisurely life begin to waver.
It's no wonder that Reimu is not firm enough. It's because besides her love for a leisurely life, the only thing that can move Reimu is money, which makes her change her position without any scruples.
Of course, Reimu still has her own persistence, and her so-called stance depends on what the matter is.
For example, in this matter, if she was just asked to help make the amulet, and if the remuneration was generous, then it would not be impossible for her to change jobs or do part-time jobs without any scruples. Anyway, she is relatively free now, isn't she?
Besides, she has nowhere to live now. Not only does she live in the wilderness, but she doesn't even have the most basic tent. It's so miserable and inhumane. What else can she say? There's nothing she can say anymore!
If possible, I can get food and shelter from the other party, so I don’t have to worry about accommodation at all. How great is that? I can help solve this kind of thing, and I don’t have to be complained by my Master about how lazy I am as a witch and do nothing.
If I could surprise my Master, it might be a good thing.
It’s just… that force called the Revolutionary Army has a lot of people, and they are also a rebel force in this empire. I guess they have a lot of troops. If I have to help them make amulets, won’t my leisure time become less in the future?
Can't you have both a leisurely life and money?
This... is so confusing! ! ! ! ! ! !
As if he could see that Reimu was still struggling, Leone felt that he had to add fuel to the fire.
"If you don't trust us, we can pay you a generous fee first! How about it!"
In order to show his sincerity, Leone emphasized the word "generous". [NIGHTRAID] also has its own funds. Not to mention the funds from the Revolutionary Army, he also has a lot of commission funds from the imperial capital. It's a pity that the boss doesn't give much pocket money, which makes people feel helpless. Otherwise, he wouldn't have to cheat those foreigners who have just come to the imperial capital.
"make a deal!"
Without hesitation, Reimu sold herself out.
Chapter 41 Reimu Sells Herself (Part 2)
"make a deal!"
Without hesitation, Reimu sold herself out.
If Koizumi were here, he'd definitely complain about this guy not negotiating a fee before selling himself out! This is definitely a safer option! He's truly obsessed with money!
But it's a pity that Koizumi himself is not here. At this moment, Koizumi is still fighting with Qin Xin and has no idea what is happening here with Reimu.
Although Koizumi didn't mind Reimu making the decision on her own, he still felt a little uncomfortable. After all, his opinions were ignored. Even if he had a good temper, he would still feel uncomfortable.
"I'll discuss this with Koizumi. We can meet tomorrow."
Having said that, Reimu waved her hand, signaling Leona to leave quickly and not disturb her here.
Leona couldn't help but smile bitterly. She probably understood the personality of the shrine maiden in front of her. After all, she was a killer who had worked her way up from the slums. Leona was quite familiar with people's personalities.
The witch in front of him was undoubtedly the kind of person who liked leisure and hated trouble. She was extremely greedy for money, but she had her own bottom line. However, it was very reassuring to cooperate with such a person.
If possible, it is better to make friends with them, which will also be good for [NIGHTRAID].
Thinking of this, Leona must be determined to convince the boss. But then again, if the boss knew that there was such a person, he might go out in person to convince the person. After all, the value of this witch in front of him is extraordinary.
Although it is a bit impolite to judge a person by his or her so-called value.
The next moment, Leona hurriedly left here. In fact, if Leona had stayed here, once he was spotted by Koizumi, it would be a big deal. After all, the Leona in front of him was a thief who stole Koizumi's money.
Seeing Leona leave, Reimu continued to lie on the grass and slowly closed her eyes.
My originally tense mood has now completely relaxed. To be honest, I should try to avoid being chased by others.
I really wish I could live this leisurely life forever, but unfortunately I was woken up from my slumber by the gap monster. I guess I can only work under Koizumi for the rest of my life. The leisurely days in Gensokyo are gone forever.
But then again, were the days in Gensokyo really leisurely?
Several faces flashed through Reimu's mind, and slowly, a smile appeared at the corner of Reimu's mouth.
Marisa and the others are still sleeping, right? Sooner or later, they will be woken up... I guess after being woken up, that girl will rush to various singularities to carry out repair work. This is in line with her personality. However, she must be warned. In the past, she relied on the rules of spell cards to overcome one difficulty after another. Without the rules of spell cards, the battles in the singularities are not so simple. What exactly is wrong with this first singularity is still unclear.
Although if Koizumi were here, he would probably complain that he was too lazy.
However, one thing is certain, that is, the changes in this singularity are related to this imperial capital.
Reimu possesses unparalleled intuition, often finding the best items in stores without even having to choose. She was tricked by a fairy into walking into a river, but a turtle formed a path for her to escape. She is also incredibly sensitive to approaching hidden monsters. There are even rumors that she always relies on her intuition to resolve unexpected situations. In any case, this clearly demonstrates Reimu's keen intuition and extreme luck.
So just by having come into contact with the imperial capital and fought in the imperial capital, Reimu can assert that the center of the distortion of this singularity is this imperial capital. With her super intuition, Reimu has almost locked down the problem of the singularity.
The only thing missing now is evidence to confirm the accuracy of my intuition.
At this moment, Reimu seemed to have noticed something, her eyes glanced slightly in a certain direction, and her brows furrowed slightly.
It seems that the training journey of the Master is not very ideal. Although I can feel the improvement of strength, it seems that the power of vampires begins to grow stronger at night. As a result, I can no longer control the will of vampires?
They are truly worthy of being called the Immortal Race. The will of the Immortal Race can be said to be much more terrifying than that of humans.
Not only that, according to Yakumo Yukari and the Master, the Master himself has lost all his memories of the past, and everything is equivalent to starting from scratch. Even his personality can be said to have been reshaped. In this situation, it seems that it will be a bit difficult for the Master to fight against the consciousness of the Immortals.
But with Qin Xin here, there is no need to worry... Thinking of this, Lingmeng continued to be a lazy person.
Not long after, Gu Quan slowly walked back with the support of Qin Xin.
"Are you okay?" Reimu asked indifferently. People who didn't know her might think she was too cold, but Koizumi knew very well that this was Reimu's normal attitude. She treated everyone indifferently.
Of course, this does not apply to giving money to yourself.
"Fortunately, I can already control the young lady's power during the day, but it's different at night. The strength of the vampire's will is a little beyond my expectations, so I have to practice for a while."
A trace of helplessness crossed Gu Quan's face. There was nothing he could do. It was far too difficult for the human will to resist the will of a vampire. However, being able to contend with it and taking back the will after being defeated by Qin Xin once was enough for Gu Quan to be proud of. It was just that Gu Quan was too anxious.
Although Qin Xin wanted to say this, she also didn't want to discourage Gu Quan's enthusiasm, so she had to remain silent.
"I have to practice for the rest of the time..." Reimu muttered to herself, glancing at Koizumi from time to time, as if she was hesitating about something.
In reality, Reimu had realized from the moment she'd agreed that she was too generous. She'd accepted the offer as soon as she heard about the generous reward, momentarily forgetting she was Koizumi's Servant. It wasn't Reimu's fault, though. In Gensokyo, Reimu hadn't been under any constraints or had to obey orders due to contracts. So, upon hearing about the generous reward, she simply put it out of her mind and took over.
Honestly, now that she thought about Koizumi, Reimu suddenly found it a little hard to speak.
But after just a moment's thought, Reimu chose to confess.
"Hey! Master! A guy calling himself Night Raid just showed up and said he wants to make a deal with us."
Chapter 42 The So-called Hundred Thousand Witches
"Hey! Master! A guy calling himself NIGHTRAID just showed up and said he wants to make a deal with us." Reimu's sudden words startled Koizumi. The NIGHTRAID guys showed up!
But then again, it's possible that the people from [NIGHT RAID] noticed the battle between him and the Imperial Capital Guard in the Imperial Capital, and thought that his group would become enemies of the Empire, so it's normal for them to choose to cooperate with him and others.
Thinking of this, Koizumi cast his eyes towards Reimu, who was closing her eyes.
"So, how did you respond? Did you agree or not?"
"I agreed to cooperate with them. After all, they just hoped that I could provide them with the amulet."
Reimu replied calmly, glancing at Koizumi. It seemed she was still a little bothered by the fact that she had agreed to someone else's terms without Koizumi's consent.
In fact, not even Reimu herself realized that from the moment Koizumi summoned her until now, she had never been able to truly get angry at him. It could even be said that she had an inexplicable sense of intimacy with him from the very beginning.
The same is true for Remlia, but her naturally arrogant attitude makes her not care about such things.
She thought it was normal to feel a sense of familiarity towards her servants.
"It seems like the other party must have offered you a huge reward, otherwise how could someone as lazy as you agree to such a thing!"
Koizumi looked at Reimu in surprise, who suddenly turned her gaze away.
He didn't care about Reimu's so-called ignoring his opinion and reaching an agreement with the other party.
After all, I'm not the type with a strong sense of master-servant. Don't you see how perfunctory the conversation between me and the young lady is? I treat the young lady like family, and she's more concerned with formalities. She only verbally addresses Koizumi's many inappropriate behaviors, rarely punishing him.
So Koizumi treats Reimu and Qin Xin with the same attitude, indifferent.
Reimu was stunned at first, as if she was surprised by Koizumi's attitude, but after thinking about Koizumi's personality, Reimu smiled bitterly in her heart. It seemed that she was thinking too much.
That's right, Gu Quan is not the kind of person who would care about such trivial matters. Sometimes, Gu Quan cares more about the opinions of those around him rather than his own opinions. Otherwise, the fight between him and Qin Xin would not have started from the very beginning, but would have been forcibly suppressed by Gu Quan in front of him with the Command Spell.
Gu Quan was more indulgent towards himself and Qin Xin, and he consulted himself and Qin Xin on many things.
Thinking of this, Ling Meng's heart couldn't help but warm up. This feeling was not bad.
but--
"Nonsense! If you can make money but don't take it, you'd be an idiot!" Reimu said speechlessly, rolling her eyes at Koizumi.
It seems so, although I always feel that you are just making excuses for your greed... Koizumi said silently in his heart.
Are you sure that it is not because you are greedy for money that you agreed to the other party's conditions?
Koizumi's eyes expressed exactly this, but Reimu ignored it.
I'm just greedy, so what? Besides, "Money isn't everything, but without money, you can't do anything." Haven't you heard that saying? And I heard there's also a saying in your country: "Money makes the world go round."
Well, Koizumi knew that no matter how much he complained about the other party, the other party would not react. Instead, it would be better to ask the other party about [NIGHT RAID].
"Tell me what the other party's name is and what information they've revealed. What kind of organization is Night Raid? If it's a large organization, perhaps we can use their intelligence to conduct business."
Honestly, Koizumi is really short on information. If this were normal history, then Koizumi would know how to modify and distort it. After all, history can still be found. But this is a brand new world, and this world cannot be confused with ordinary history. Moreover, the information Yakumo Yukari provided is very scarce. She only talked about recovering the Holy Grail, but how would I know who has the Holy Grail? In short, I have to obtain the corresponding information first.
Hearing this, Reimu couldn't help but gasp in amazement. Just from his contact with Night Raid, Koizumi could come up with so many ideas. But upon closer inspection, it seemed quite normal. After all, Night Raid assassinated nobles and high-ranking officials in the Imperial Capital, which meant their base was not far from the Imperial Capital. Yet, they hadn't caught a single member of Night Raid yet. Either the officials in the Imperial Capital were incompetent, or they had powerful backers.
Regardless, contact with Night Raid is imperative. Since our plans in the Imperial Capital have failed, we might as well focus all our efforts on repairing the singularity.
Reimu was silent for a moment, and suddenly thought of a crucial question, which was -
I didn't seem to ask the other person's name...
After talking to the other person for so long, I actually sold myself out without even knowing his name...
At this moment, an indescribable feeling filled Reimu's heart, and she was unable to speak for a long time.
"..." After staring at Reimu for a long time and finding that she remained silent, Koizumi felt as if he understood something.
"You wouldn't sell yourself out without even knowing the other person's name, would you?"
As soon as these words came out, Reimu seemed to be hit by billions of tons of force, her head sank and she said nothing.
Qin Xin also looked at Ling Meng in front of him speechlessly, and subconsciously put the mask on his face.
At the same time, Koizumi was speechless. It's too much for you to sell yourself out without even knowing the other person's name.
