Chapter 206: Too Honest
[You killed Fenrir, an elite creature.
Fenrir is an elite creature, you have obtained 2.6% of the World Source. You now have a total of 2.6% of the World Source.]
[Your Soul Eater talent has been activated, and your mana pool has been increased by 15 Mana points..
The maximum amount of mana at the moment is 488 points.]
Fenrir died due to excessive blood loss, and a blue treasure chest fell to the ground near his body. Su Xiao quickly stepped forward and placed the chest in the inventory, then pulled out his sword.
The layer of ice that shrouded Esdeath's body gradually dissipated, and blood began to trickle down Esdeath's arms.
— Esdes ' chest moved up and down vigorously. The battle with Fenrir lasted less than five minutes, but it was too dangerous a battle.
Esdes ' military uniform was covered in a large number of cuts, which made her already attractive body even more sexy.
Esdes began to take off her outer clothing with trembling hands...?
— General, your clothes are in a terrible state, "Su Xiao's bluntness made Esdes' veins swell, but when she remembered who Su Xiao was, Esdes let out a helpless sigh. Su Xiao was a killer. He naturally always had to answer questions straightforwardly, no matter what he saw.
— If you dare tell others about this, I will cut off your tongue.
— I won't tell the others, but General, your clothes are in a terrible state.
— Esdes ' mouth twitched. If it wasn't for Su Xiao being an assassin who had gone through brutal training, Esdes would have killed him long ago.
— Give me your outer clothing.
Su Xiao took off his shirt and tossed it to Esdes.
— Help me dress my wounds, I've lost too much blood, " Esdes said, and leaned against the stone wall. Fenrir's claws had previously caused her great pain.
Su Xiao took out a bandage from the pockets of his pants. This surprised Esdes somewhat.
— You always carry it with you?
Su Xiao opened the bandage and walked over to Esdes.
— Yes, one of my colleagues died due to extreme blood loss right in front of me. I don't want to die, so I always carry bandages with me now, " Su Xiao said the first thing that came to mind. Naturally, he took out this bandage from his inventory.
Su Xiao started to treat her wounds, and Esdes didn't say anything. She had lost a lot of blood and could die if her injuries weren't treated as soon as possible. She was a woman, but she was also a warrior.
This was one of the weaknesses of the Teigu owners. Although Teigu's abilities were outstanding, the physical qualities of their users were not supernatural.
Of course, a lot depended on the user himself. According to Su Xiao's analysis, Esdes ' stats couldn't be any worse than his, and in fact, he suspected that her stats were superior to his.
Cleaning of wounds, suturing and dressing... Su Xiao's movements were skillful, for he himself had often received all sorts of injuries before.
— Thank you for this attack, no... Now I owe you one. You just saved my life. You will replace Jerome and become my adjutant. Jerome is no longer suitable for fighting, as he has become too old, so he will go to the logistics department, this department is very well suited for retirement.
Although Esdes was cruel to her enemies, she was very generous and took care of her subordinates.
As long as her subordinates listened to her, Esdes treated them well.
[Hunter joined the Imperial camp as an adjutant to a general in one of the armies.]
[Notice: Since the Hunter was the first to join the Empire camp, the Hunter received 1% of the World Source.
You now have a total of 3.6% of the World Source.]
Su Xiao looked like his usual self, but at the same time, he breathed a sigh of relief.
The position of Esdeath's adjutant was a very prestigious position, but that didn't mean that Esdeath trusted him completely.
Su Xiao was an assassin for hire. Esdeath just wanted him to be there for her. She decided to become an observer. In fact, in her place, Su Xiao would have done the same.
Trust couldn't be built in a single battle — it took a huge amount of effort to do so.
After bandaging her wounds, Esdes put on Su Xiao's clothes and leaned against the wall.
— I want to get some sleep, wake me up in three hours, " Esdes closed her eyes and her breathing started to slow down.
Although Esdeath had blocked the cave's exit with an ice wall, the temperature in the cave was still not suitable for Su Xiao — he, unlike Esdeath, needed to maintain his body temperature.
He walked over to Fenrir's body and looked at the giant wolf's fur. His fur and pelt were obviously very good at keeping out the cold.
After removing the wolf skin from his body, Su Xiao walked to the ice wall that blocked the entrance and exit of the cave. With his sword, he cut a hole in the ice wall and walked out of the cave with the hide.
Esdes ' eyes opened slightly and looked in the direction of Su Xiao leaving, but she didn't say anything and continued to rest.
After leaving the cave and entering the world of ice and snow, Su Xiao began to clean the white wolf's skin with snow, and after cleaning, he put the skin on his body, and almost immediately felt the difference, but it wasn't enough.
Su Xiao started looking for something nearby.
Twenty minutes later, Su Xiao returned to the cave with a large amount of snow on his body. He was holding an armful of wood. By finding dead wood nearby, he was able to gather a relatively dry tree.
Five minutes later, a bonfire was lit, and the temperature in the cave began to gradually rise.
Two hours later, Esdeath woke up. Most of her injuries had recovered, but she still felt weak due to the loss of a large amount of blood.
As the cave grew warmer and the smell of meat wafted through the air, Esdes sat up doubtfully.
— This is Fenrir meat?
Su Xiao was turning several pieces of meat over the fire.
— No, I tried Fenrir meat, it's too tough and contains a small amount of toxins. Su Xiao handed the meat to Esdes, then silently began to eat his portion and washed down the meat with plain water.
He didn't drink water after coming to this world.
The roasted rabbit meat was not delicious — it was tough and old, which made it hard to eat.
After dinner, Esdes got up and noticed that her injuries had almost completely recovered, and she ended up walking out of the cave with Su Xiao.
Outside the cave, it was still cold and a strong wind was blowing through the area. Esdes with a bandaged body and Su Xiao in a wolf skin looked very interesting.
Half an hour later, the two of them returned to the fortress, but this time, Su Xiao's identity was different.
After Esdes whispered a few words to her adjutant, the 50-year-old adjutant's eyes turned slightly red.
— The old adjutant started to say something, but Esdes waved her hand. — All those who make a well-deserved retirement from my army meet no barriers in the empire.
Esdeath wasn't arrogant — that much was true.
The situation of the empire at the moment was somewhat complicated. Although the emperor in the palace had power, he lost his parents when he was a child, and was raised by the former emperor's minister because of this.
The minister started brainwashing the little emperor. Today, the emperor listened to everything the minister said.
Naturally, this minister was nurturing the young emperor into a puppet of his own.
The empire was ruled not by an emperor, but by a minister.
Although the minister wasn't very good-looking and was fat, he was very smart.
The current emperor's parents were poisoned by the minister. After more than a decade, the minister was able to get his hands on real power in the empire. If the supreme Teigu didn't exist, the emperor would have been killed long ago.
The High Teigu could only be activated by a person with royal blood. Otherwise, it was just a pile of iron.
And at the moment, the minister was only afraid of Esdes.
