Translator: imperfectluck Editor: Pranav
Peaceful utopias did not exist in this world There was no lack of idiots ithout coer than fiction as fiction still needed to be logical to attract readers In reality, it was forever impossible to understand just why soes knew just how much power the Emblem of Endless Truth represented However, er student es To them, they were the absolute bosses in their own territories, daring to say and do whatever they wanted They were at a young and ie of their lives when they were found out to have talent as es and sent here to the Cloud Tower—a place where countless geniuses gathered They were basically like the legendary protagonists in Chinese webnovels, as they wouldn’t stand for suffering the slightest grievances
Of course, the cruel world would soon teach the the process of learning, they would often turn from the bullies into the victims
If they were fortunate, they would naturally e someone as beyond their ability to handle
"Emblem of Endless Truth? It’s an academic award? So what? Roland? Never heard of him! He’s probably just an academic who stays in his experimental laboratory every day, and he dares to not sell his products to e Andrei!&8221;
Well, that was a co They would typically be polite when they first arrived, and when they discovered that politeness wouldn’t help theht to purchase an Iron Horse, they would start trying to usewas still insufficient, they would resort to arrogant declarations that always ended in angry roaring threats It was a complete and perfect example of how the rich and powerful typically behaved in a feudal society
Yaould then take out her dragonslaying sword and viciously teach theround elf who had full points in ic resistance!
Although gray elves were indeed weaker than dark elves in ic resistance, that didn’ta bunch of novices who hadn’t evenviciously beaten up wouldn’t ive up so easily They would alant revenge and bring us various small troubles In the past few days, we had already suffered from four incidents of arson This was another reason why Cher was glaring at me in such a fashion Not only did we break the records for number of incidents caused by us, we also broke the record for needing to call the police as well Especially since the arson incidents typically happened at 1 or 2 aes when they were called to the scene
"Who the hell is it this ti by how explosive Cher’s tone was, it seemed that she was truly pissed off at this arsonist who had the unfortunate ti trouble while she was here
"With two more incidents, our ‘Annual Excellent Public Order Reward’ ht then, it seeer as well
"The archrandnephew? Andrei, the vice leader of the Sword of Order? This is quite problematic&8221;
Unfortunately for Cher, her subordinates arrived with a report that caused her to frown No matter what, a current Truth Overseer would definitely be difficult to deal with, even if he currently wasn’t at the Cloud Tower The Sword of Order and Mystical Blade had a bad relationship with each other to begin with In fact, it started froanizations were established—they intentionally competed with each other even with how they named theht escalate into a huge conflict between two of the h Cher had excellent moral boundaries as an enforcer of the law, she still knew that sos would be quite difficult to deal with Her status as a public order e would only be internally useful within the Mystical Blade as well as e organizations wouldn’t care at all about her status, nor would the th of the police forces
"Let randuncle is Andrei!&8221;
Even though this young htly, he reant as always Apart from him, several of his arsonist accoe stockpile of oil and fire powder that had been found with them As for his "accomplices,&8221; they were basically all rich scions that were e novices who hadn’t learned the cruelty of the world They were blissfully unaware about the consequences of their actions
Truth Overseers were indubitably influential Typically speaking, in such a situation, Cher would notify the person’s family elders to severely hand out a punishonized was an arche with two Emblems of Endless Truth Cher found this situation quite difficult to deal with, not knowing if arche Roland…&8221;
Although Cher felt quite huhtly, she still considered it part of her work to e incidents before they started There were things she needed to say However, the arche that always had a helpless expression and lowered his head to apologize to her didn’t even pay her any attention Instead, he had an icy expression as he spoke in a low voice
"Yawen, Little Red 232, the two of you were injured?&8221;
The gray elf shook her head, indicating that she was fine However, the sword injury on her shoulder actually had a smell of corrosion The fact that her injury had already decayed to such an extent despite how recently she received it was the best evidence of how highly toxic the poison must have been However, it seeic from Divine Arts in time
"Father, wahhh! My hair has been burned off&8221;
Meanwhile, Little Red 232 hopped over to coently patted her on the head, while even Cher was quite angered when she saw the depressed little girl who had a patch of scorched hair on her head
"Were there any daes?&8221;
"We discovered them quite quickly this time so the fire was put out aled at all Out of our people, Yaas the most seriously injured However, they set fire to the kitchen, and our hired chefs were unable to escape in ti hoe intended to add a café addition to the Thorn Garden shop, we hired some local residents as chefs Since the chefs were only ordinary people, not e to make it out of the fire alive Perhaps these rich scions even killed the chefs off on purpose in order to kill any witnesses that could point thee Country’s lahat’s the punishment for intentional arson that leads to people’s deaths?&8221;
Cher paused in surprise when she saw that Roland was talking to her, finally noticing that he was asking her as an officer of the law It was just that his typically s expression was replaced by a rare one of seriousness
"…According to the Mage Country’s laws, it should be execution by hanging, but…&8221;
His bright eyes suddenly dimmed, and the next moment, Roland’s eyes seemed to Cher like they were black holes that could devour everything Without a hint rage or hatred within them, he seemed like an emotionless machine Cher felt chills run down her spine when she was looked at by those eyes She found herself unable to tell him to be merciful
Cher suddenly recalled that she had wanted to investigate just who this Roland person truly was However, her direct boss, as considered as soe by all her coworkers, suddenly came and warned her personally with such a serious expression
"There’s sos and so about If you would like to live a long and good life, there are some lines you definitely can’t cross&8221;
