In Terra, she is a hunter and a bad woman.

Are they children of wealthy families?

Yin Hongying thought for a few moments and then lowered her eyes slightly.

"I never said I wanted to be your subordinate, did I?"

"This is not something you need to worry about... Let's get back to the question just now."

The girl shook her head. "I told you I'm willing to give you this opportunity... But as for that female general, I don't know where she came from or what her abilities are."

"But the current emperor is no pushover. Even if he's concerned about his children's personal feelings, he will definitely not allow a useless person to be a general."

"……so?"

After listening to the girl chattering for a long time, Yin Hongying frowned and showed a bit of impatience.

It was not until this moment that the girl revealed her true purpose.

"Before I send you to investigate that woman, I'll give you another simple task."

The girl smiled and looked at Yin Hongying who was becoming more and more serious in front of her, her eyes narrowed slightly.

"you……"

"Go and kill the current eldest princess..."

……

At night, inside Bailiansi.

The bright moon hangs in the sky. Today, there are still two moons hanging high in the world, which makes Maria feel uncomfortable.

But she still sat alone quietly on the top floor of the attic, watching everything around her.

Because of Sui's joining, the Bailian Division now has a tendency to transform into the largest academy in the entire Baizao.

Although he claims that he is not a very powerful person, in fact, as a giant beast who has lived for an unknown amount of time, just a few ideas of his can benefit these people a lot.

Many masters who are well-known in the outside world have now become apprentices here.

Correspondingly, as more and more people were willing to cut off contact with the outside world and stay here, the original Bailiansi space gradually became insufficient.

As a last resort, the entire Bailian Division began to expand and disperse outward.

Even though it was already dark.

Maria could still see the craftsmen working hard on the edge.

This made Maria silent.

She lowered her head and looked at her feet.

How many secrets are buried deep beneath the soil that many people know about?

Thinking of this, Maria also felt an inexplicable irritation rising in her heart.

But after just a few moments, the flames dissipated.

Maria also turned her head slightly.

Just off to the side, in the corner of the eaves, a pair of small dragon horns were barely concealed and poking out...

"age."

Just by looking at the angle, Maria could tell the other person's identity, and shook her head helplessly.

"Eh? Were we discovered again? I thought I hid my aura well this time, right?"

With a whoosh, Sui jumped onto the roof and looked at Maria helplessly.

It's strange to say, although Maria said last time that her ability is stronger than his - and Sui also admitted that without using her true body, Maria's strength may indeed be a little stronger than his.

But why can Maria find her trace every time?

I should have hidden it well, right?

"It's just self-awareness."

Maria shook her head slightly.

After looking at the girl a few more times, she asked with some confusion.

"What are you doing here?"

"Looking for you to play~"

He was smiling and took out a few bottles of wine from the side.

While Maria was frowning, the girl suddenly took out a strangely shaped bottle of wine from behind her back as if performing magic.

"This is……"

"I heard it's... wine made from grapes? I don't understand. These were the apprenticeship gifts those guys gave me. But that's not important. I remember you said last time that you couldn't get used to the bars here?"

A clear smile was on the little face of the child.

Although Maria only mentioned it suddenly when she was discussing something at Zuo's house last time, Sui had already remembered his friend's preference.

This time I got it by chance, so naturally I came here with great joy.

"wine……"

Maria was stunned for a few moments.

She took the bottle from the girl's hand, looked at it for a few seconds, and paused for a moment.

"What's wrong? This doesn't suit you either?"

Sui tilted his head.

She thought Maria would be very happy after she brought this thing...but the result was...

Why is there no response?

"...No, just...thank you."

Maria wanted to say something.

But looking at the innocent girl in front of her, she was silent for a few moments and then let out a sigh.

She didn't know what else to say except thank you.

"It's okay, as long as you like it."

Seeing Maria come back to her senses, Sui also breathed a sigh of relief.

She was not polite at all and directly pulled Maria to sit aside. She took the braised beef wrapped in brown paper from her curled tail and placed it on the side, and also brought some condiments and snacks.

Maria was puzzled by this situation for a moment, but then she understood.

"You... came here to drink with me?"

"Yeah...after all, we haven't seen each other many times this month."

Sui smiled and urged Maria to sit next to him.

Maria also paused for a few seconds and then slowly sat down.

Sui didn't wait for anyone. He opened the pottery jar next to him, picked it up and drank a few sips.

After thinking for a few moments, Maria looked at the bottle in her hand, opened it silently, and then tilted it towards her lips.

The two of them drank a few sips before slowly starting to communicate.

"Are you still angry about what happened last time?"

Sui looked at Maria and tilted his head.

She could sense that Maria was still not in a very good mood...

Although she always appeared calm and composed, Sui could still sense Maria's worry from the slightest details.

Although last time I said that I would allow men to conduct experiments on plundering giant beasts.

But overall, Maria still doesn't quite agree with the plan.

She was just suppressing herself, suppressing herself from interfering in the affairs here.

"so……"

He took another big gulp of wine and casually wiped the corner of his mouth with his sleeve.

"Why are you so resistant?"

Although she is a little slow, she is definitely not stupid. On the contrary, she is much more clever than the average person.

It's just a simple lifestyle habit plus that absolutely powerful strength, she doesn't care about other people's opinions at all.

But Maria is stronger than her.

"I didn't even have time to ask last time. It seems like you've encountered this kind of thing before?"

"……Um."

Maria took a deep breath and nodded slightly.

"I met a group of people who also said that they could use their own methods to make humans transcend the ordinary..."

"But the final result was a terrible disaster..."

Maria closed her eyes, and those hideous faces gradually appeared in her mind again.

The person whose blood was drawn for experiment...

A girl who lost her parents and lives alone at home.

The nun and the knight who persisted in their obsession and eventually went mad...

"It is possible for humans to surpass beasts, but... it is definitely not by inheriting their power!"

Maria opened her eyes again, her gaze sharp.

She has always believed that humans have the potential to surpass their superiors.

But...it definitely won't be done by plundering the opponent's power.

This method cannot even be said to be becoming a superior, but simply changing the carrier of this power.

The madness, greed, and thoughts in it will not change at all.

From the moment you become the superior, the boundaries between strength and body are no longer so clear.

Even when the body does nothing, it contains supreme power, and the abstract concept of power will also parasitize on each entity, condensing its own will and thoughts.

Just like those guys in Yharnam.

They thought that by studying the blood of the superiors they could find a way for humans to become superior.

But in fact, this action is actually turning humans into the opponent's clones and puppets!

They thought they could gain power by maintaining the human mind.

But the final result will only be to be fooled in return.

This is a wrong path!

"……I don't understand."

Maria's words were still too difficult for him to understand.

She didn't think too much about it, she was just wondering why Maria was unhappy.

And the answer she got now made her look confused.

But she still heard one thing.

"You're just worried about what might happen if those people fail, right?"

Sui smiled and then waved.

"If that's the case, you can actually rest assured~"

"Ok?"

"I did a little trick on those things..."

Said Sui, waving his little paws.

Maria was stunned for a few moments before she noticed it in surprise.
