"Adele, this is a provocation from the enemy!"
At that moment, Adele thought a wild beast had broken into her office.
A short scream was heard from the outside world, hoarse and heavy, yet extremely ethereal. The steaming hot dream froze in the cold wind, as quiet as snow.
Something happened.
There was undisguised grief and resentment in Beth's eyes. Adele had never seen such emotions in his eyes since they met.
Adele thought she would be at a loss, but she wasn't.
She stood up and greeted Beth like she would any other guest, asking him slowly, "What happened? Take your breath and speak slowly."
"Prin is dying," Beth said angrily. "Warren's men took him to the main intersection of the community and said he had a conflict with the Kaza Brotherhood and had a fight with them. They beat up Prin severely, so they beat him up."
"They say it's retaliation," Beth gritted her teeth, "but Adele, it's a provocation."
The noisy sounds from outside disappeared.
Adele turned around, but there was no trace of the crow.
The bird flew over the quiet streets and landed on the roof, looking at the two dead people. When they were brought here, their injuries were serious and they could still be saved. However, the freezing temperature killed them in an instant, without even a chance to call a doctor.
Through the diary, she was able to know what was happening in the community before Adele, so she knew when the two bodies were brought into the community.
An elderly woman sat slumped in front of the corpse, holding her child and sobbing softly. Her cries were so low that they were frozen to pieces by the cold wind before they could be heard far away.
The crowd gathered at the intersection, blocking the road.
Adele walked through the crowd and came to the only open space. She gently lifted the white linen that someone had covered the area with and saw Prin, whose original appearance was unrecognizable.
If his mother had not been right there, who could have recognized who he was in such a short time?
Adele sighed inwardly.
He is a friend of Slo, but their relationship is not deep or shallow.
The boy was a loner who worked outside. Sloe's acquaintance with him originated from a time when Sloe wanted to invite him to join the union. Prin refused, but invited Beth to dinner. After getting drunk, he hugged Beth and cried bitterly.
Although both of them felt embarrassed after sobering up and Pulin did not join the federation, they became friends through this fate.
According to Adele, the relationship between Slo and Prin is similar to the love that an elder brother has for his cousin.
Adele and Prine had no connection, but she was equally saddened by the passing of a vibrant life.
There has to be an explanation for this matter eventually.
Adele looked at Slo again. She was even less familiar with this man. The reason she examined his body was to confirm his injuries.
Whether it was Prin or Slo, the injuries on their bodies were not something that could be inflicted by an individual, and were extremely similar.
The claim that Prince beat Slo to this state is simply not true.
Adele had the bodies of the two men carried into the room and carefully prepared for burial the following day.
The crow landed silently on Adele's shoulder, and Adele now understood why Noita was talking about "choice".
This is an opportunity, a reason to conquer the Kaza Brotherhood.
Compared with the so-called justice, the statement of hatred is more easily accepted by the mountain people and surrounding forces.
Tooth for tooth, blood for blood.
This is an eternal principle and the most universal truth.
But when should the time for revenge be set?
That night, emotions smoldered in silence. Adele sat in the first seat, and Milinrovibes and others were also present.
Everyone knows why the meeting is being held, but there are always people who disagree.
Beth and the others wanted to quickly exact revenge on the Kaza Brotherhood and let them know the pain of blood.
Milin represents those who do not support immediate retaliation.
He thought it was not the right time to take revenge immediately. The Kaza Brotherhood and the Rango Society were not on good terms. Because of the prohibition of leaf drowning, the gangs eager to open up the market were very covetous of this place.
If we strike hard at the Kaza Brotherhood, it will weaken its strength and attract other gangs to attack it, which is not appropriate.
Beth angrily said, "But the Federation was established to protect the community. If we have to tolerate even the malicious beatings and murders of residents, how can we expect recognition in the future? Aren't we violating our original purpose?!"
Milin disagreed. "We can't afford to lose the big picture for the sake of a small one. Wait until the spring when the Musketeers finish their training. It will be easy to deal with a Kaza Brotherhood, and we won't be too late to take action then. Is there a big difference between revenge sooner or later?!"
The conference debate was difficult to reach a conclusion.
Adele listened to their discussion without saying a word.
The quarrel stopped only when Milin suggested leaving everything to Adele.
Adele said she would give an answer tomorrow.
The meeting was disbanded.
Milin stayed until the end. Adele looked at the wound on his face and thanked him.
Although Milin did not support immediate revenge, he also made it clear to Adele the disadvantages of acting rashly, so that Adele could get a clear view and make a decision in her heart.
Because he was sitting in the same row with Beth and he was good at talking, Beth got impatient and punched Milin.
Using force instead of criticism, if Luo Wei hadn't stopped the impulsive Beth, both of them would have been injured.
Adele said coldly, "I've made my decision, Milin. If your face hurts, go find Bess and punch him back. He'll agree."
Milin was slightly stunned, then chuckled and sorted out the documents on the conference table.
"Since you have made up your mind, I have no need to comment. As for the punch I will throw back, please tell Bess to save it for now."
"it is good."
So Milin left and there was no outsider in the room anymore.
Adele curled up her legs, hugged her knees and called out to Noita.
"I know you're looking at me, stop hiding."
"I've never hidden." The crow flew out of Adele's cotton-padded jacket pocket. "I've always been by your side, but you haven't noticed. My little muse, why are you looking for me?"
"I want revenge on the Kaza Brotherhood."
"no problem."
Adele said to herself, "Warren has gone too far this time. If we don't fight back, the surrounding gangs will think we're weak."
"Hmm, what else?"
The crow nodded attentively, indicating that it was listening to Adele.
"Also... probably because I want to seek justice for Prin. Although I don't know him well, he's also from Community 7. You taught me to be trustworthy and responsible, and I promised the residents that I would let them live in peace and not be harmed by gangs."
"anything else?"
Adele replied: "No more."
The crow remained noncommittal, but left it at that.
Always give her some privacy.
"What do you want me to do? Adele, I promised that I would guarantee the strength you need. Just call on me and I will help you defeat all powerful enemies. Is it time to fulfill my promise now?"
"Yes." Adele looked at Noita and asked her for help. "I hope to gain your strength and protection. To ensure that no one dies in the battle against the Kaza Brotherhood, and that we are invincible."
Chapter 114: So Unharmed
"How greedy, Adele! You're seeking victory while also wanting no one to die." Noita's gaze passed through the crows, across a hundred miles of space, landing on the shoulders of his followers. "Power and victory are my promises to you, but perfection is not something I grant. However, if you submit your request, I will respond, but the sacrifice you need to make will be far beyond the ordinary."
When chatting with Noita, the doe once said that the mountain tribes would offer cattle, sheep and salt to the immortals, and the immortals would return prosperity to the tribe.
This is a mystery that imitates the relationship of sacrifice and blessing between humans and gods, and it is a power unique to the extraordinary ruler.
At that time, the doe gave a copy of this secret ritual to Noita among a cardboard box containing thousands of documents, saying that she couldn't stand her casual attitude and wanted her to learn some of the mountain people's traditions.
Noita found this secret ritual in the inheritance and tried to learn it, but the log did not give any reminder to learn it.
This time, Adele wanted to achieve immortality, and Noita also had a sudden whim to try out this secret ritual.
But still no response.
"I have nothing left. Even I am your property." Adele said the current situation sincerely, "What else do you need from me?"
"Unexpected."
Adele smiled softly and said coquettishly, "That's right, so if you pamper your followers one more time, I'll give you a free meal this time."
"That's fine." The crow thought about it and agreed.
"Thank you for your generosity."
Adele cheered softly, extending her right arm and holding out her index finger. Noita flew down and stood at her fingertip. "Next, let's discuss how to inflict a fatal blow on the enemy and how to take over the Brotherhood's territory after eliminating them."
"I'm still inexperienced and need your guidance."
Noita was in a very good mood because of the flattery. Based on the layout of the Kaza Brotherhood that he had detected earlier, he jumped onto the table, dipped his toes in ink, and drew the structure of the Warren stronghold on paper, describing where the weaknesses were and which places were difficult to capture.
They chatted late into the night, until the crow statue's usage time for the day ended.
Late at night, Noita thought again and again, took out the voice stone given by the phantom demon from the gate city and activated it.
"You finally contacted me, Hongrong."
A clear female voice floated out from the sound-transmitting stone.
Noita was stunned, not because of the other party's voice, but because she had seen the magic of the phantom demon's transformation a long time ago.
She originally thought the signal would be very poor, but unexpectedly the voice from the other side was clear and bright, without any noise.
The maximum transmission distance of the sound transmission stones on the market is generally around 100 kilometers. The sound transmitted beyond this distance will be distorted. She just wanted to give it a try to contact the phantom demon, but she didn't expect the signal from the other side to be very good, as if it was nearby.
"Do me a favor, and I'll forgive you for providing me with inferior heavy armor."
"We should speak with conscience. My heavy armor is all new and imported from the Rongguan Kingdom. How could it be of inferior quality? Where are you? Let's talk it over."
The phantom demon became anxious and immediately wanted to find Noita to have a good argument.
Noita said disdainfully: "It was punched through by this body, how do you explain it?"
"The body you're currently occupying is at best a top-tier mediocre one. While it's uncommon for a full-strength attack to shatter heavy armor, it's not uncommon either! I didn't even bother to blame you for the annihilation of the raiding army I invested in, yet you're the first to complain!"
"Your reasons."
Noita insisted that the failure was caused by the poor quality of the equipment provided by the Phantom Demon.
The phantom demon had no good way to deal with her rogue behavior.
"Oh, that's it. Anyway, it's the employer's money that's at risk. Let's put this matter behind us and let none of us talk about it anymore."
"Easy to say."
They all turned the conversation away at the same time.
The phantom demon asked, "What do you want me to do? Let me be clear, I only kill people."
"It fits your expertise. There are some guys in East City who deserve to die. I need you to kill them all before tomorrow."
Noita called out several names, including the leaders of most of the gangs in East City that Noita had investigated and the disgusting guys who left a deep impression on her in her previous life.
If Adele wanted no one to die, she would kill the leader of the opposing faction.
Once the leader died, the people's morale was low, and with crows flying around, it was difficult for anyone to die.
After hearing this, the phantom demon readily agreed: "No problem, but there are too many. Who do you want to see die first?"
Noita pretended to ponder, "Gang members will die first, professionals first, then the members of the Chamber of Commerce, and then the nobles."
Phantom Demon recalled these people. He remembered some of them, but not others. Among them were some people from Wingard, but Phantom Demon didn't care.
It doesn’t matter anyway, just kill him first.
The phantom replied, "Okay, we'll take care of all the gang members tomorrow night. The rest are a bit tricky, but not a big problem. By the way, my employer asked me to give you a message."
"explain."
"Zhedan hopes to learn your skills. You can set any conditions."
Zhedan, Noita knew this person.
One of the high-ranking members of the Cult of Lust and Blood, he collaborated with Wingard to create many big news, and was also the main force that assisted Wingard in breaking through to the extraordinary level.
