March 7, afternoon.
Ms. Honey Badger is reading quietly in her residence in the Fifth Circle.
Although she was pardoned by the Pope in a sense, this did not mean that she could be completely free. Her movement remains restricted and she is guarded by two papal guards. But other than that, her requests will be met as much as possible.
And Alice was also informed of the situation facing the honey badger. She would serve as a messenger to bring this news, the honey badger's personal letter, and the final payment promised by Cardinal Loki back to Eagle. eye tissue. Now she must have arrived at Iris and delivered all the things that needed to be sent to the people who needed to go.
With nothing to do, Honey Badger wants to try to walk the path of devotees. So I asked the papal guard who was guarding me for a few books, and studied them quietly here.
For an adaptor, enduring loneliness and adapting to loneliness are basic skills. Whether it is an assassin who wants to remain silent in the dark, or a hunter who hunts in the forest, or those prophets and astrologers who have clearly seen the future but cannot tell anyone about it... Adapting to the path is always It is associated with silence.
There is no need to worry about the economic and political situation of the organization, there is no need to personally carry out difficult tasks to make money with information full of loopholes, and there is no need to wipe the butt of those stupid young assassins... On the contrary, she feels that she My mental state has improved a lot.
Until this afternoon—the two papal guards guarding her suddenly asked her to go somewhere.
Her first reaction was that Aiwass had repented and the Theocracy was planning to execute her secretly...
It took a while before she realized what she was doing—— This was the Theocracy, not the Iris Kingdom she was familiar with. The elves were far less treacherous than she thought, and the new Pope really wanted to see her for something.
When she went to the 22nd Circle, she saw Cardinal Aiwass in black robes and the former Eternal Pope wearing the Holy Crown.
"...His Majesty the Pope."
She knelt down on one knee and bowed her head respectfully to the two popes: "Please give me your instructions."
Although Honey Badger has never become a private assassin, but after all she has lived for so long, she has seen them all before - facing the two popes, she directly showed the attitude of those raised private assassins towards their masters.
"I do have something to entrust you with."
Aiwass said seriously: "I need you to leave the Theocracy temporarily."
Listen Upon hearing the familiar task instructions, the Honey Badger, who was still a little hesitant and timid at first, suddenly became energetic and a strong sense of self-confidence arose spontaneously.
Although she has been a fifth-level assassin master for a long time, she has basically never been exposed to high-level affairs. One of the reasons is because she doesn't like to use her brain. Many Adapters were also liars and schemers, but she was not one of them.
Compared to WaiDiscussing at the long table those troublesome personal political stances, partisan political ideas, the subtext behind special operations, social impact and public opinion, as well as the possible chain reactions after various actions... She would rather take the time to take orders and kill individuals. , and then ran back to listen to the final results.
And usually, by the time she comes back after killing someone, most of those people haven't finalized their plans yet.
"Is it an assassination mission?"
The honey badger asked skillfully: "Or is it sneaking in to destroy? Or stealing information? Or is it escorting important figures and rescuing hostages? "
"It's considered an escort."
Aiwass nodded and asked, "Does Eagle Eye have a branch in Star Antimony?"
"There is no branch...are you talking about the group that is performing the mission? There is."
"Are there any that you don't like? Or are there members who you feel can't integrate into the Theocracy? ”
Aiwass continued to ask.
When Honey Badger heard this, she immediately reacted - although she doesn't like to use her brain, it doesn't mean that she is not smart.
"In other words, do you need a group of Hawkeye members who can be discarded?"
"Yes."
"There are some. ”
The honey badger didn’t even think, and answered without hesitation.
——There is no doubt that she has already thought of the candidate.
In order to eradicate the Moon Children, she and her companion Hawkeye can also betray - or, in other words, sacrifice. These thieves, killers, prostitutes, gamblers, swindlers, criminals and other people who live in the gutter gather together to a large extent to fight against the Children of the Moon.
Under the circumstance that the Moon Sons will always try to penetrate upwards and continue to become elites, they will become the Moon Sons from the lowest level of society.
Because even if they want to betray the organization, the Children of the Moon still look down on them. It is impossible for them to give the "gift of eternal youth and immortality" and their noble blood to these scum among the scum—— In addition to the corpse of the Path of Love, the transformation of the Son of the Moon also requires a part of the life source given by the "fathers" who are the transformers.
Even if the Son of the Moon risked his life and chose to accept these betrayers despite his disgust in order to find the traces of Hawkeye, they would only be a minority after all.
And this inevitably leads to their organization not being pure enough... Although there will be some righteous knights who quietly hide in the darkness, there are more people who stick together for warmth and survive. The confused person who has no tomorrow today. There is a 100% chance that villains with evil intentions, fake tricks, and weak minds will sneak in, and even get to the top.
And there is no way to avoid this, and there is no way to try to change their thinking or educate them.
Because a person who suddenly changes can easily reveal flaws in his daily life, attracting people's attention and being discovered by the ubiquitous Sons of the Moon and Blood Slaves.Now - Hawkeye is not a secretive organization, their reputation is quite famous. Only a group of people who are rotten to the core and rotten in the mud can forever avoid those children of the Moon with mysophobia.
But things are different now.
Because even Hawkeye himself knows that it will be difficult for them to completely defeat the Moon Child. If the power of the Theocracy can be used to target the Children of the Moon, then most of the previous principles, practices, behavioral patterns... and even formal members can be abandoned.
Of course she also has feelings for those bad people who stick together for warmth.
But when it’s time to give up, she will never hesitate—
—for the greater good.
The honey badger thought so, and suddenly there was a touch of red like the sunset in her pupils, which flickered like a cigar that was lit and extinguished in the dark.
"Then, listen up...honey badger."
Aiwass, wearing a black robe, ordered: "I ask you to take two people to Star Antimony. Target Send the character safely to the designated location and give her some information about Hawkeye's stronghold..."
Aiwass didn't finish his words.
The honey badger suddenly sniffed and frowned.
She smelled a somewhat familiar smell...it was the smell of "Child of the Moon" that she had smelled from Aiwass before.
Immediately afterwards, Aiwass waved his hand.
A shadow curtain beyond the honey badger's induction suddenly withdrew. That was the power of high-level magic. As a fifth-level adaptor, the honey badger didn't notice the curtain at all.
In the corner of the room, a noble lady with long black hair was sitting quietly, with a crow on her shoulder. She looked to be only thirteen or fourteen years old... and the first thing that honey badger noticed was her pupils that were shining with blood-red light.
The crow’s pupils are also blood red.
——It is the son of the moon!
"...Let her kill those Hawkeye members in a high-profile way, so as to find a way to sneak into the local Moon Son circle."
At this moment, Aiwass said this.
