Start from Firefly and speed through the world

Endless towering city walls and the peak of the imperial capital towering into the clouds.

Although she had seen it in anime, she was still shocked to see it with her own eyes! Even though she had the experience of modern society, she still felt the same.

After all, outside the imperial capital, the style is still that of ancient poverty.

But the scene of this imperial capital has already been upgraded to the level of a spectacle.

I can't even imagine how much manpower and material resources would be needed to build such a magnificent and vast imperial capital in this society with a backward industrial level, apart from the transformation of imperial tools and some mechanical thermal weapons.

Now they are just outside the gate of the outermost city of the imperial capital. The buildings inside are even more dazzling and terrifyingly large.

But thinking about the first emperor of the empire thousands of years ago, in order to build imperial tools and to ensure that his country would not be overthrown, he directly used massive amounts of human lives to promote super dangerous species and used their body parts to build imperial tools.

It can be said that this empire has always been like this in this regard, and it does not care about the lives of the lower class people at all.

Chapter 9 Being targeted

Enter the imperial capital.

"Um...Clara, I'm going to go to a recruiting place next, and you are here..."

After entering the imperial capital, Tatsumi immediately went to ask someone about where the Ministry of War was recruiting, then turned and walked in front of Clara, appearing a little hesitant.

After all, Clara obviously wouldn't join the army with him, so they might have to say goodbye.

"You go ahead, Clara can do it alone here."

"Let's just say goodbye."

After hearing what Tatsumi said, Clara hesitated for a moment, not knowing whether she should persuade him. The imperial capital was not suitable for him, and certainly not for herself.

Whether it is court politics or joining the army, it is not that simple.

Clara knew what would happen and understood that even if Tatsumi went, nothing would happen. But even if she told him so, Tatsumi wouldn't listen now.

If he had listened, he wouldn't have insisted on coming to the imperial capital. So in the end, Clara didn't say much...

"Okay, we'll see each other again."

Tatsumi felt a little reluctant, but thinking that he had to stand out in order to save the village, he suppressed these thoughts and his eyes became determined.

Without further ado, he said goodbye to Clara and headed straight to the place where the empire was recruiting soldiers.

It’s getting late now. If we go too late, we may have to wait until tomorrow.

Looking at Tatsumi's leaving back, Clara did not stay where she was, but turned and walked in another direction.

But unlike other places, there were a lot of people in the imperial capital, and many people were looking at her, many of whom had bad intentions.

This imperial capital that looks prosperous, glamorous and beautiful is actually the darkest place on the inside.

Behind the bright and beautiful appearance of many people, they are evil monsters who are worse than animals and are man-eating demons.

"Mr. Swarlow, what should we do next?"

[Calculation of clearance conditions, plan one, contact with the night raid...]

Swarovski did not show up. This was the densely populated imperial capital, and no one knew where some big shot's spies were.

It can be said to be the most complex region, as well as the most populous and corrupt place.

Although he didn't show up, his voice could still ring in Clara's ears, and outsiders could only hear it if they got very close.

Then Swarovski gave many options, the best of which, at least for Clara, was to contact Night Raid.

Compared to the complexity of the Imperial camp, unless you join the army directly, and it is an army outside the imperial capital, such as Esdeath's, it may be purer.

Otherwise, in other places, people who are not cunning enough can easily be killed.

The same goes for the rebels. Few of those who play politics are good people.

If I really have to say, night attack is better, purer and less complicated.

After all, it is a killer group.

When you come into contact with Night Raid, you don't need to be a killer yourself, you can choose to cooperate or become a logistics support. With Clara's mechanical repair and Swarlow's combat power, there should be no problem.

Of course, there is a better choice. There is an imperial tool in the capital that is more suitable for Clara, and that is - the God's Hand "Perfector"!

It was a glove-shaped imperial weapon that could trigger precise movements of the fingers hundreds of times, making it convenient for making various sophisticated weapons and also capable of healing the human body.

With it, robots can even be made more efficiently.

In short, considering the difficulty of the conditions for passing the level, it is better to engage in night attacks and overthrow the empire.

After all, getting involved in Night Raid doesn't mean joining the resistance.

It is just a simple contact with the night raid, and it can better determine the progress of overthrowing the empire.

Another point is that when watching the anime, the cute girls all had no heads. Now that she has come to this world, she still hopes that this ending can be changed.

I was depressed for a long time after watching it. Now I am curing the depression I felt back then.

Clara soon made up her mind that overthrowing the empire was the easiest thing to accomplish, so let's forget about the reforms.

According to Swarovski's calculations, if she were to carry out the reform, the probability of success would be less than one percent.

And even if it succeeds, it is based on the threat of cheating.

Once you disappear, the reform will fail quickly.

Compared to this, it would be better to overthrow it and establish a new empire.

Changes of dynasties and separations and reunions are normal. At least in most new empires, people live relatively well in the first few decades.

As Clara was thinking about these things as she walked, she seemed to have arrived at the slums of the imperial capital without realizing it.

The imperial capital is huge, and not all places are prosperous areas. There are also poor slums. It even seems more chaotic because of public security reasons.

These are all normal, but at this moment Clara noticed that someone was following her from behind with bad intentions.

And more than one.

When Clara looked over, they quickly hid themselves again.

This made Clara stunned. She didn't understand who these people were and why they were following her. She had only been in this world for a short time and had just arrived in the imperial capital.

They probably don't know him, and I haven't provoked anyone.

After thinking for a while, Clara ran towards the alley in front, and then the people behind her didn't even hide anymore and chased after her.

"Chase."

"Don't let her get away..."

"Such top-quality goods can definitely satisfy that gentleman's requirements. We are going to make a fortune."

About seven or eight people carrying weapons chased after Clara.

They had their eyes on Clara the moment she appeared in the slums.

It was obviously her first time in the capital, a foreigner, with no guards or bodyguards around her, and she was so beautiful, showing her feet...

Isn’t this just prey that comes right to your door?

Even if adults don't need such girls, they can still be sold to red-light districts or auctioned underground for extremely high prices.

As for, is this kind of thing illegal?

No one knows how many people die in the capital every day, how many people are forcibly abducted and sold, large-scale drug trafficking, forced buying and selling, but it’s not a big deal as long as the other party doesn’t have a big background.

Behind these transactions, the middle and high-level officials in the imperial capital are making profits. They do anything that can make huge profits, such as pornography, gambling, drugs, and arms...

Among them, the minister who controls the government is the biggest boss.

Even if someone is rich, as long as he is not from the imperial capital, he is still a fat sheep here.

Northern Myanmar and the like are far worse than the darkness under the imperial capital.

Chapter 10 Help me, Mr. Swaro!

Clara kept running into the alley, and after several twists and turns, not only did she fail to get rid of these people, but she ended up in a dead end.

There was a tall wall in front, completely blocking the way.

Seeing that there was no way to escape, Clara had to turn around, and then she found that all those people had chased after her, holding knives and even guns in their hands.

"Little sister, you can run quite fast!"

"Run again, let me see how you can run."

Clara was completely blocked in a dead end, and the others relaxed. If such top-quality goods were to escape, it would be a huge loss.

I looked carefully at the girl in front of me. I didn't see her clearly from behind before, but now that I looked closely... I couldn't help but breathe faster.

Suddenly I felt like I didn't want to sell her anymore. Wouldn't it be so great if I could have her all to myself?

The Clara in front of him was definitely better than any of the top prey he had ever seen. Even the ones around those big shots didn't amaze him as much as this one.

But he is not the only one here, so it is impossible for him to occupy it alone.

The sword can only be presented to that adult.

It's a pity that the adult played too hard and basically none of the puppies could last through the night. When they were thrown out the next day, they were no longer recognizable.

So they would never even think of drinking some soup like adults have done.

It has completely turned into a pile of mud, and can't even be called a human form...

"You... who are you? Why are you chasing me?!"

Clara timidly retreated to the wall, staring at them nervously with her big red eyes. The gazes of these people were so hot that it seemed as if they wanted to eat her up in one bite.

"Why am I chasing you?"

Looking at the timid girl in front of them, the inner agitation of several people became even stronger, and a trace of hesitation flashed through their minds again. If they really gave her to that adult, wouldn't it be a pity that she couldn't even have a sip of soup?

I may not be so lucky to come across such a top-quality item in the future.

But they immediately gave up the idea. If that adult knew that they didn't offer him the good ones, they would die a miserable death.

So he had to suppress his restless heart and approach the girl in front of him step by step with his weapon.

"Of course I'll take you to meet some important people. They are powerful people that ordinary people can't see."

“What big shot? Clara doesn’t know him and doesn’t want to meet him.”

"This is not up to you. Go ahead and catch her."

After saying that, several people rushed towards Clara at the same time, trying to control her.

"Help me, Mr. Swarlow!"

Looking at the people rushing over, Clara shouted quickly.

"No one can save you..."

"What the hell?!"

After hearing Clara's cry for help, several people did not take it seriously. At this time, even if the emperor came, it would be of no use.

However, the next moment, a huge mechanical figure appeared in front of them and raised its huge iron fist.

【Leave Clara! 】

In response to Clara, Swarovski appeared and punched them, although he tried his best to restrain his strength in order to leave more people alive to get information.

But these guys in front of him were turned into a pool of meat paste under his iron fist. Only the two guys at the back who didn't have time to get close were frightened silly.

Feeling the blood and flesh on their bodies and faces, and seeing their companions who were intact just now now turned into bloody mud, the pungent smell made them feel sick. After they realized what was happening, they turned around and ran away for their lives.

I hit a brick wall today!

That’s right, how could such a top girl appear in this place alone? It’s really not as simple as imagined.
