Wu Ke said, stopped, thought of something, and changed his words: "I am the one who came here with Miss Ta just now. She was afraid that you would make some small moves after she left, so she asked me to stay secretly to observe the situation. "
When the mine director heard this, he immediately sat down on the high platform.
"Come out here..."
When they were gathering just now, all the children were behind. At this time, a man dragging a little girl with cat ears came from behind. His eyes blurred and he realized that his perspective had turned 180 degrees.
The man with his neck twisted into a knot fell down, and the one who walked ahead of him was the mine director on the high platform.
Wu Ke carried the two bodies and walked back to the stage carelessly.
"Excuse me, who is the number three person here?"
The boy asked politely once, but no one answered.
I asked four or five times, same thing.
Until, after he said something like "If no one answers, we will kill all the guards in the mine", someone finally came out tremblingly.
"I'm the adjutant here."
The person standing up was an old man. It could be seen that this man was very nervous. He was obviously afraid that the people above him would jump over and punch him in the face, causing his neck to become numb.
"Don't be nervous, I am a person who respects the elderly and cares for the young."
Wu Ke saw the other person's nervousness and comforted him.
"So far, I have only killed a few old men, and they are all bad guys with evil intentions."
The old adjutant's body shook even more violently.
"I have something to tell you."
"My lord, if you have any instructions, please just say..."
"You know how to report this situation now, right?"
Wu Ke shook the two corpses in his hands and asked.
"I know, I will report to the superior that uncle and nephew Kara died of illness."
The old adjutant nodded quickly in reply.
"No, how can this be fraudulent?"
Wu Ke shook his head
"Uh... what do you mean, sir?"
“Not only must you not cheat, you must also report truthfully.”
Wu Ke threw the body aside and pointed his finger in the direction Tallulah left just now.
"Just say, today's account will be all credited to Miss Ta, you know what I said?"
"Know."
"And after this, if you are asked to be responsible for the management of this mine, you should know what to do, right?"
"Understand!"
The old adjutant's head was nodding like a rattle.
"I make sure everything is done according to the correct rules and regulations."
The corpse had just cooled down, and the old adjutant felt that he didn't want to feel the cold of death yet, so he understood too well.
[But, you haven’t told me who you are yet...]
Looking at the back of the man walking out of the mine, the old adjutant finally didn't have the guts to catch up and stopped him to ask.
On a certain day of a certain month of a certain year, in a mine near the city of Normans, a certain guard who did not want to be named by the Duke's daughter, in the name of Miss Ta, killed two violators...
. . . .
"Bring me a collection of your Ursus laws."
"What?"
That night, Xiboril, who had just returned to her room, heard the request made by the young man who had entered the room earlier than her and was sitting in front of the desk.
"Don't you Usas have books in which various laws are written?"
Wu Ke frowned and asked.
"Yes, yes, but what do you want that for?"
Xiboril could not understand at all what a guerrilla rebel wanted from the Empire's Torah.
"I want to take a look, especially about the new policy of the empire. I plan to learn more about it."
Today, Miss Wu Ke listened to the description of labor service and human rights in the New Deal on the stage, but suddenly realized that this New Deal may not be exactly the same as he imagined, a law that extremely persecutes the infected. .
"Okay, wait."
Hyboril ran out.
After a while, she brought a set of books.
"So efficient?"
"There is a library in the Viscount's Mansion, and it happens to be filled with such legal books. Otherwise, it would be really difficult to get a complete set of such things outside, and few people would read them."
Wolf Ears explained.
Wu Ke took it and started to read it.
His page turning speed is very fast. Although it is not as fast as computer scanning, he can read twenty pages in the time it takes others to read one page, and he can also write down the contents.
Of course, whether you can understand the content is another matter.
As for the laws of the New Deal, there are more than 100,000 words.
There are sixty-four pictures in total, which is about the size of a book.
Abandoning most of the redundancy, Wu Ke summarized the content in two words: make money!
If I want to sum it up in a more specific description, it would be: making money legally!
As for whether it is reasonable or not, he personally thinks it is unreasonable.
But among this unreasonable New Deal laws, there is actually some reasonableness.
It is clearly a law that persecutes the infected, but it actually contains regulations to protect the infected.
How ironic!
But surprisingly understandable.
Wu Ke understood this to mean that the country had expressly stipulated protection regulations in order to exploit the infected group that could produce profits for a longer period of time and in depth.
However, if this is the case, why are infected people being killed in the mines on the snowfield?
Thinking carefully about the situations in which he rescued infected people when he first came here, Wu Ke quickly discovered something in common among those people, that is, they were 'old, weak, sick and disabled'.
Except for a few young and middle-aged people, the execution targets were almost all infected people who had one of the characteristics of the old, weak, sick and disabled.
When we consider the lack of supplies and inconvenient transportation in the snowfield, a natural and reasonable answer appears.
This is to reduce the unnecessary loss of materials and artificially reduce the number of infected people...
It sounds cruel, and it is actually cruel, but it is something that some powerful people in this world and this country may do in order to obtain greater personal interests.
About an hour later, Wu Ke closed the legal book on military and political matters.
"Have you finished reading?"
Xiboril looked at him. Being alone in a room with a person who could easily crush her to death, the female second lieutenant still felt a little unnatural. This was the instinct of life to stay away from danger.
"After reading it, I have a lot of new ideas."
Wu Ke nodded.
"That's very good."
Xiboril only hoped that this person could leave as soon as possible.
"However, some of these new ideas are not very clear to me yet, so..."
Wu Ke looked at Xiboril seriously.
"What do you want to do?"
This young man also had this serious expression when he was hammering people, Xiboril asked calmly.
"I want to ask you for advice!"
. . . .
Early the next morning, Xiboril walked out with a pair of dark circles under his eyes.
Who can tell her what a rebel is doing by asking about all the secrets and hidden rules in the army?
For this reason, the young man still held her back and kept her awake all night, chatting with him all night long.
【grass! 】
. . . .
"Second Lieutenant Xiboril, your mental state doesn't look very good. Don't tell me that you are pretending to be sick today?"
In the restaurant of the guild hall, Xiboril saw Tallulah, and when she saw her appearance, she said something salty.
"No, I won't pretend to be sick. The specific investigation will start today, but we need to prepare and go to the location where the supplies were stolen to conduct on-site investigation."
The maid brought the same meal to her, and Xiboril sat down and said.
"Hopefully there won't be some fabricated evidence out there to try to mislead me."
Tallulah said something.
Xibo Lier: "..."
Originally, she planned to do this.
but now……
There will only be a real criminal waiting for you there, the kind who can kill you with one punch.
. . . .
For the sake of 'safety', Xiboril's proposal to travel with heavy equipment was rejected. Tallulah only brought two internal guards and three bodyguards before setting off, and Xiboril only brought five personal guards.
A group of people sat on snowmobiles and quickly left the city of Normans, heading towards the location of the incident.
Traveling lightly and simply, they moved very quickly, and by the time it was getting late, they had covered more than half of the distance.
There were no traces of wild animals or humans around, and a group of people set up tents and prepared to camp in the snow.
"Miss Tallulah, I found several warm puddles in the snow nearby. There should be a heat source under the ground."
"There is an active volcano about ten kilometers to the south of this area. The source stone energy in that volcano is very active. It may have erupted recently, so the underground water flow was affected and the heat flowed over."
"You know so clearly, it's like you have done an environmental survey here."
Tallulah looked over suspiciously.
"No, it's just that the snowfield further south happens to be where my clan is located, so I know the situation here better."
Xiboril explained.
"In the past, people in our clan would often use the hot water brought out by the active volcano when it erupted to bathe in this icy and snowy environment. This was a pretty good experience."
Hearing this, Tallulah touched her hair. Because the North is in a cold zone, it is normal for people here not to take a bath for three to five months. Even people in the Viscount Mansion are used to this. Taking a bath in this place is not allowed. A tedious and torturous act.
But think about it, the last time she took a bath seemed to be the night before she came out of Clan City.
It has been nearly three months since now. It didn't matter when I didn't think about it, but now that I have mentioned it...
[Well, my hair seems a little greasy...]
Tallulah raised her hand and put it against her chin. The warm puddle she found was quite attractive to her.
but……
Could this be a trap?
Hibberil procrastinated yesterday and took her to inspect the mine.
But today, I immediately stopped delaying and said that I could do an on-site investigation.
In the middle, if you calculate it correctly, it is completely foreseeable that you will stop here for repairs.
Then, let her people discover the warm water hot spring pit here. As long as she goes in, the other party will come outside with a group of swordsmen...
"Pa~"
Tallulah slapped her forehead with her palm and smiled bitterly.
[I was misled by Kosiche’s teachings. The first thing I think of when encountering something is the so-called conspiracy and trick. 】
Thinking about it carefully, the other party had no reason and could not possibly want to harm her, even if the batch of supplies was really eaten by Viscount Normans.
Although it is not clear why, her adoptive father Kosich, the famous Duke of Ursus, values her very much, and most of the nobles of Ursus know this.
Once she disappeared in this place and offended the Duke of Ursus, not to mention a viscount in the north, even the marquis marshal who commanded an army of 300,000 people in the north would not be able to take advantage of her.
Even if the worst happens and the female second lieutenant's clan eats his own goods, how can the Lupo clan on the border use any powerful means?
Don't forget, there are two inner guards beside her. Although these are the people sent by Cosiche to keep an eye on her and prevent her from suddenly disappearing and running away, those two people also have the function of guarding and protecting her. Her safety duties.
To a certain extent, she can even direct their actions.
The individual strength of the royal internal guards is very strong. Basically, one person can defeat an army. Only a very small number of people within the empire are qualified to command them.
With the protection of these two monster-like beings around her, there is no need to worry about her personal safety!
"Miss Tallulah?"
Xiboril was a little puzzled by Tallulah's sudden action of slapping herself on the forehead.
"The hair on my forehead is a little messy. Well, I'm sorting it out."
Tallula brushed aside her embarrassment without leaving a trace, and then spoke lightly: "Second Lieutenant Xiboril, you said that your clan uses natural hot springs to wash themselves. There just happen to be several hot spring pits here. I can experience it tonight. Are the customs and customs of your clan the same?"
Although Tallulah asked, she did not give the other party a chance to refuse at all.
"This is really a redundant question. I think you will definitely agree. Think about it, in a world of ice and snow, soaking your body in a warm hot spring pit, who would refuse such a thing?
Unless it's someone with ulterior motives, right? "
. . . .
One, two, three...
Four, five, six...
The dark red figure was like a ghost, floating in the temporary camp built on the basis of the snowmobile. He knocked out the guards who were working with his knife. Because he was quick, accurate and concealed, no one found him. action.
Wu Ke floated behind a woman who could still see a strong figure even though she was wearing thick clothes. He passed the hat of the thick clothes with his knife and continued to hit the sap.
[Ninth one, one more to go...]
Just when he shifted his attention to listen to the position of another person whose breathing remained weak.
"Bang~"
The woman in front of her who should have fallen down was now holding the ground with one hand.
The whole person rotated diagonally and kicked him on the waist and abdomen.
In an instant, he flew out.
With a bang, it hit the snowmobile next to it.
