Chapter 1237

Tatsumi at this time is not the boy with a clear smile in the original time, so putting a collar on him or pulling him directly into the hunter is not an option.

Esdeath recognized that this little man is already a strong man.

That's right, although he lost to Esdeath, and it was Esdeath who let him down a lot.

But the witch still recognized that the other party was a strong man, a swordsman with lofty pride.

Those eyes that were burning until the last moment of the battle were so beautiful that she couldn't forget them when she recalled them.

She didn't want to see such a beautiful color disappear from her life.

After the simple bandage, she seemed to have made a decision.

"Tatsumi, as the winner of the Grand Arena, you can get the reward for this battle."

"Official position, money, beauty, everything is fine."

There was some expectation in Esdeath's tone.

"Is the imperial tool okay?"

The honest boy's answer was very direct, and he asked without even probing.

After all, it was too difficult to let Tatsumi learn disguise and detour, so he took this opportunity to ask directly.

He was prepared to be rejected.

Fortunately, Esdeath's brain circuit was not normal, and she readily agreed to this request.

A good Tatsumi is one who desires strength, and of course it would be nice if he also desires it for himself.

She decided to ask her subordinates who had experience in love and marriage when she had time to learn from them. She was the strongest in the empire, and she had to be the strongest in this aspect.

Wait!

She thought about what that familiar aura was in the battle.

Her memory went back to two and a half years ago.

At that time, Esdeath was already the most famous general in the empire. She returned to the imperial capital and accepted the country's reward.

She went to the treasury to select imperial equipment.

Because imperial equipment needs to match the wavelength of the imperial equipment to be used, there will be a lot of idle equipment in each stage.

When she was searching for imperial equipment in the treasury, there were two most special containers that were sealed.

One was the Demon God Appearance·Devil's Essence.

The extremely terrifying Ice Imperial Equipment. Made of the blood of a super dangerous species that lived in the Far North, it was previously stored in a pot, and everyone who drank it went crazy.

She drank it all in front of the minister. Those crazy whispers were commonplace for the witch who had long been accustomed to madness and enjoyed chaos.

With her crazy will, she easily subdued this power, making her name as the strongest more stable.

This is a process of mutual achievement.

And in the treasury there is a second sealed magical item, the Burning Blood Noah.

There are records of 48 imperial artifacts in the empire, but this one is not among them.

It is even impossible to confirm the true purpose of this thing. The recorded origin is the burning blood salvaged from the East China Sea, and the lights that never go out in the storm.

Through the previous generation of imperial artifact users and scientists, it can be confirmed that it has terrible power, so it has been kept in the treasury.

Esdeath also took a few glances at it back then. The throbbing from the depths of the soul is a very incredible reaction.

It was just because of her compatibility that she chose the Devil's Essence.

Now recalling it, I feel that Tatsumi and the burning blood are similar in color.

It's the kind of red that burns everything.

So...

"Tatsumi, are you willing to join the imperial army?"

"Then we can be together forever."

It was a very abrupt question.

The boy was caught off guard by Esdeath's directness. In the storybook, shouldn't the process of falling in love be full of tugs and misunderstandings, and then the man and woman go through all kinds of hardships and finally reap sweet love?

He really couldn't accept the style of the imperial capital.

"I refuse."

So he also expressed his refusal very directly.

He didn't want to lie even if he wanted to, and he wouldn't agree even if he lost the chance to get Noah.

The blood of Sau and Iyeas still remained in his heart, which was an accusation and unwillingness to the darkness.

So he didn't even want to pretend.

Chapter 22 Noah's Blood!

I thought I would be driven out of the palace, but who knew that this didn't anger the witch, but instead stimulated her inexplicable aura.

The emotion in her eyes was even more frightening.

Esdeath tried her best to restrain her desire to conquer the other party immediately, and pretended to be reasonable and took Tatsumi to the treasury.

In fact, deep down in her heart, she would never let the boy go.

‘Tatsumi, who decisively refused, was also very handsome. ’

In this way, the boy was brought by the witch to the outside of the imperial treasure house, and there were not many people questioning the strongest general on the way.

“Well… since it is a treasure house for storing imperial artifacts, it should be…”

“Because the value of imperial artifacts varies from person to person.”

Esdeath knew what Tatsumi wanted to ask, and the defense measures here were indeed not that strict.

The empire attached great importance to the imperial artifacts that ensured its continuation at the beginning.

The 48 imperial artifacts a thousand years ago all represented a magical power, and each imperial artifact user could play a role in influencing the war situation.

But after so many years of evolution, mankind is progressing, smelting technology is progressing, and science is progressing.

Many previously taboo powers are being mastered by more people.

For example, gunpowder brings firearms and bombs. The biochemical transformation brought by medicine, as well as the exploration of the human body by cultivation sects such as the Royal Fist Temple, are all enhancing the strength of most people.

So the gap in combat power between the imperial equipment users and non-imperial equipment users is narrowing.

The imperial equipment users are increasingly unable to compete with large forces, and the siege of thousands of people is enough to destroy many former strong men.

In addition to the setting that it cannot be activated if the degree of fit is insufficient, and ordinary people cannot use two imperial equipment, there are various special disadvantages, making this special weapon more and more embarrassing in the internal battle sequence of the empire.

The status of the imperial equipment users is visibly declining.

It can only be said that the strongest can become a super-standard existence with the imperial equipment, but the ordinary strong can be matched with the imperial equipment... that's it.

After explaining this situation, Tatsumi was also a little silent.

Indeed, the main battlefield of the current imperial equipment users is assassination and destruction of the rear.

"Of course, I'm different."

"As long as I'm here, no one in this world can compete with the Empire."

Esdeath is very confident, this confidence comes from conquering all over the world and killing 400,000 aliens.

It's meaningless for a million troops to face her.

In the final battle, the witch blocked all the troops of the Revolutionary Army and many imperial weapon users by herself, and there was no limit at all.

In a miraculous ice wall, countless lives fell. This is the most compatible imperial weapon user.

Only the supreme imperial weapon can be compared with destructive power.

So her confidence is based on facts.

Tatsumi's heart is heavy. The strength shown by the opponent in the battle of the Grand Arena is just the tip of the iceberg. I don't know if Uncle Ichimonji is sure to compete.

Or that mysterious... Noah.

Esdeath talked about her strength without hiding it at all. This kind of bravery put heavy pressure on the boy.

Of course, what is more stressful is the occasional hand touches or affectionate eyes.

The two walked all the way to the deepest part...and met the minister.

Minister Ernest, described by Najeshitan as the root of corruption and the end of the empire's darkness.

Even though the status of the imperial weapon user in the empire has declined a lot, the divine weapon that represents the prestige of the emperor a thousand years ago is not something that anyone can get.

So the person in charge of the treasury is Minister Ernest, who is beyond ordinary people in both ability and character.

Tatsumi didn't expect that he would meet the other party for the first time at this time.

He looked like a fat old man with white hair and ordinary face.

But there was a breath in his eyes that made him very uncomfortable, like... a rotten swamp.

And this pool of pollutants was looking at him with the eyes of looking at goods.

"General Esdeath, this is..."

"Yes, and it's the lover I chose."

Declare sovereignty and love, the style is as direct as ever.

Tatsumi was numb. It is estimated that Esdeath would say this as long as someone asked.

The minister was surprised that such a human really existed. Esdeath's five lines were just a joke.

Of course, with his cunning, he would naturally say nice things, and even his eyes changed when he looked at Tatsumi.

This young man has the potential to influence the strongest in the empire, so he must be treated with caution.

"Oh~~~ He is indeed a handsome man, and he is a good match for you."

In a few words, he praised this unknown country swordsman several times, which made the witch feel very happy.

And Tatsumi gave up observing after taking a few glances at first.

Although he was close at hand, he had no chance to kill the source of the disaster.

Esdeath is really too strong.

After the greetings, the minister opened the door to the imperial treasure house.

There are countless items emitting special fluctuations in the treasure house, including swords, gems, and even strange plants.

There are imperial weapons, strange objects, and the bodies of extremely dangerous species.

But all of this is not as good as the cup trapped in the deepest part by chains.

The red flame burned at the mouth of the cup, and the fluctuations emitted from it made Tatsumi's heart begin to resonate, and two flames also lit up in his eyes.

This is - Noah!

Uncle Ichimonji said that he could confirm it as soon as he saw it.

This clear target designation did not surprise Esdeath. Before coming, she was sure what was most suitable for the boy.

He directly pulled open the chain blocking the cup.

"It seems that the burning blood is the most suitable power for you."

Tatsumi walked over step by step.

The burning blood in the cup suddenly burst out with terrifying heat, and the heat wave in the treasure house directly forced the minister, an ordinary person, to retreat to the door.

The minister's eyes condensed.

If I remember correctly, this is the burning blood from the East China Sea, a product similar to the imperial weapon. After research, it seems to be the blood of some creature like the demon god.

So is it possible that the empire will give birth to another strongest?

The combination of the strongest and the strongest? I hope this boy can be as pure as Esdeath.
