How can a retired savior be considered retired if his price drops to 40,000?

Chapter 41 Neither Empire nor Truth, but God Emperor

"I don't quite understand how you achieved the total annihilation ending." Fujimaru Ritsuka rested his hands on the empty space on the console of the simulation room with a sad expression on his face.

She didn't really want to retell what happened in the simulation room in the previous quarter of an hour...the comedy plot.

"There are 64 of you, and I gave each of you four magazines. I calculated the firepower. Although Naga's scales can reduce most of the damage, it is not to the point where the explosive bomb cannot penetrate. Even if you guys Don't care about anything, just keep firing at it. As long as you can hit more than a third of it, it will be enough to kill it randomly."

What's more, the most threatening move of this thing is the enhanced removal skill.The Midnight Lords, a group of pure physical warriors, had no enhancements that could be removed. Rounding things off, Fujimaru Ritsuka threw them a simple panel monster. As long as they were willing to pile up data, they would die naturally.

But this group of stragglers who stabbed people in the back and fled against the wind couldn't even do this well.

During the whole process, only Sevita's performance was barely watchable.At the beginning of the battle, he quickly pulled out a team of 12 people from his old troops, formed a simple formation, and then took tentative shots at the huge monster. After realizing that the damage caused by explosive bombs to scales was very limited, After that, try to attack the wings behind Naga instead.

It can't be said that his plan was unsuccessful. After all, they successfully removed one of Naga's wings after approaching and shooting. However, this kind of monster can float on the ground not entirely by its wings, so in the next few seconds, Here, the pain-eating monster used its huge mass to make the team that got too close pay a heavy price, including the team leader, and then the remaining five people naturally dispersed.

…In short, it’s not entirely Sevatar’s fault. He just suffered from the loss of information and took the monster’s combat power a little too much for granted.

In fact, according to Fujimaru Ritsuka's prediction, if Savita has sufficient intelligence and can freely use psychic powers, he should be able to succeed alone with a little effort.At least she felt that the Savita Leon under her in the illusion could do it.

Another highlight worth mentioning is Dihail Peko.The new member of the Chaos warband didn't know whether he had a plan or a blind cat touched a dead mouse. In short, he succeeded in hitting one of Naga's eyes at almost the maximum range of the bolt gun.But apart from this, he really has nothing to praise.This newcomer who likes to wear red gloves during the trial journey turns around and runs after realizing that Naga has noticed him - it goes without saying what will happen after showing his back to the enemy.

The Night Lords who had just "died" in the simulation gradually recovered from the virtual mental shock, and apparently did not realize their mistakes at all.Some sparse complaints gradually began to come from the audio line connected to the simulation room, and Fujimaru Ritsuka didn't really care what they were complaining about.

After all, she is also a clear player who has managed Nostramo, and she has a deep understanding of the principle that "not all opinions of everyone are worth listening to."

"I probably know where the problem lies." She continued speaking into the microphone at her own pace and train of thought. "Anyway, all similar jobs that require 'group activities' are similar, at a minimum. The standard is not to be hostile to the people around you. But you can't meet this 'minimum standard', right?"

There was a burst of laughter in the simulation room, as if these Night Lords heard something very funny.Fujimaru Ritsuka didn't care and just continued to tell her fairy tale: "In short, for the sake of progress and efficiency, I hope everyone can become friends within three days."

The laughter became even louder, and even Sevata retorted after these words. Unfortunately, his voice was drowned in the laughter of the other 63 people.Fujimaru Ritsuka casually began to set the parameters on the console, and said as if casually: "In order for everyone to become friends, I think about it, everyone has to 'die' in the simulation almost a hundred times. let's start?"

The Midnight Lords, who had just been shot to death by a giant Naga in the simulation, were shocked. Their laughter suddenly stopped, and after a moment of silence, there was another roar of protest.It's a pity that the girl's soft voice easily cut through all the dissatisfied roars from the broadcast system, and output cold words with unusual warmth:
"I also know a thing or two about Spartan-style hero education. After all, most of my teachers are also very strict." Fujimaru Ritsuka said with a smile, "Anyway, I have given you three days to arrange the personality of Raimitsu's mother. Correction package, I hope you won’t really be crushed to death like a bug, and that you can put aside your past grudges during life and death, and truly become ‘friends’ with the people around you——”

After she said this, the communication between the console and the simulation room was cut off.The scene in front of the Midnight Lords once again transformed into a residential area with a low level of civilization. The streets were paved with bluestones and could only be said to be fairly wide. They were surrounded by houses made of bricks and wood that were not very sturdy. There was a road a little further away. When the road extended to the creek, a vermilion wooden arch bridge grew there.

A black figure that was obviously female was slowly approaching the Night Lords from the bridge. In the process, she slowly drew out a slightly curved long sword from her waist.

There was another burst of laughter from the crowd, mixed with some incomprehensible sounds.Most of them did not take this simulated black figure seriously - judging from the body shape, it was just a relatively tall mortal woman. Although the armor and weapons on her body could not be seen clearly due to various reasons, But it can also be easily recognized that those things do not have any complex mechanical structure, they are obviously simple and primitive.

Only Sevatar realized the problem immediately: the feeling given to him by this black shadow was very similar to that of Jeanne d'Arc Alter.

——And this time, Fujimaru Ritsuka didn’t give them any equipment in the simulation.
-
"Why is Sai in there?" Conrad Coates protested dissatisfied, "He clearly can lead an entire team without these."

"——Yes, relying on your arbitrary favor." Fujimaru Ritsuka also retorted dissatisfiedly, "Sevita Leon can do it because he is Savita Leon! Do you realize that your arbitrary bias is your fault? How many hidden dangers are buried in your legion? You are also a Primarch after all, and I don’t believe that no one taught you the Imperial Science when you returned to the Empire."

Cozz showed a rather disgusted expression: "The emperor's mental tricks...those are just illusions created by stacking up lies." "I can understand that your excessive and completely unnecessary sense of justice makes you "lying" This behavior is contradictory, but let me remind you that the last Primarch who only told the truth was Rogal Dorn, and the Imperial Fists functioned flawlessly. I advise you not to use these flimsy excuses to justify your actions. Your inaction defense.”

"You know everything, why do you ask me?"

"Another friendly reminder, it was your question that started this topic. If you really start to decide to 'do something serious', I highly recommend that you use your primarch-level brain to think about the consequences of doing so before taking action. , you can also use your prophecy talent when necessary - anyway, after the contract is solidified, the impact of prophecy will be borne by both of us."

Fujimaru Ritsuka paused for a second, and then abruptly changed to the next topic:
"One more thing. After comprehensive consideration of some of the things that happened before, I think it is necessary to set up an emperor's shrine on the Storm Boundary."

Kurtz said nothing, but immediately showed his surprise in a very exaggerated way with his body language and expression.

"What are you looking at me for?"

"I don't think there is something wrong with my memory. Didn't you firmly believe that 'the emperor is not a god'?"

"This does not conflict with that." Fujimaru Ritsuka said confidently, "The emperor is a human being, but it does not prevent the use of his shrine. The emperor himself does not mind this - although his not minding is purely from a practical point of view. of."

Fujimaru Ritsuka came up with this idea entirely from a practical point of view: Conceptually, it can continue the foundation of the Empire’s national religion, add a layer of protection to the alienated Storm Frontier, and purify the chaotic power that may have sneaked in, as psychic energy The base station can chat with the Emperor remotely, and it can also allow the Emperor himself, who occasionally wanders around on a whim, to have a place to stay when secretly conducting seances.It can satisfy multiple purposes at one time and is economical and affordable.

She explained these reasons in detail to Conrad Coates. Unfortunately, the latter obviously did not understand this complete utilitarian idea.The expression on his face showed that he had difficulty evaluating Fujimaru Ritsuka's behavior and was opposed to it.

But he also knew that he had no say in this matter.He could protest, but the end result would be, at most, letting Fujimaru Ritsuka move the emperor's shrine from a conspicuous public place to an inaccessible place deep inside the ship - at least he had clearly realized it from the above explanation. , this behavior will indeed have tactical significance.

The premise is that her vision for the function of this shrine can come true.

"Okay." Coze finally asked, "But if a shrine can do so many things as you said, why don't the emperor's miracles appear everywhere in the empire's churches?"

"Because the appearance of miracles is not a natural phenomenon, but the subjective behavior of the emperor." Fujimaru Ritsuka said with a matter-of-fact attitude, which could instantly make a third of the state church members mad and make the other third of the state church mad. The personnel knelt down to her, and ordered the last third of the Ecclesiarchy personnel to beat her as a heretic and excommunicate her, "Just as you obviously prefer Savitarion in your legion, I feel that the Emperor is currently The whole empire likes me more. I can be ranked in the top ten."

Curze was speechless for a moment.But first of all, he does not believe in the state religion, and secondly, he has already recognized this objective fact that does exist.He didn't think he needed to comment on this issue again, so he simply decided to end the conversation there.Unfortunately, Fujimaru Ritsuka still stared at him with a "asking for advice" look, which made him feel a little hairy.

"What are you doing?" he asked angrily, "If you want to do it, go to Somni to start construction? Jestal is a civilized world now, and there is no shortage of craftsmen who can complete a small shrine in a few days."

"No, this kind of thing that has a saying in the sense of magic also requires a bit of ritual in the production process." She said, "I think it is best for us to do it ourselves."

Coates had some bad premonitions about the plural No.1 in this sentence.

"This is your ship. Of course you can order people you think need to do things." Coze quickly backed away, trying to get into a dark shadow somewhere and escape before the bad premonition came true, but then , a golden chain appeared out of thin air and wrapped around his waist - under the control of the "Lock of Heaven" which was a special attack on divinity, it was precisely because he was a demigod that he was completely unable to break free.

"That's what you said." Fujimaru Ritsuka tugged on the chain and said in a very cheerful tone, "Then let's start making a small statue of the emperor out of marble and gold leaf!"
