For Mayin, this was an unimaginable experience.
Marin had always looked down on assassins, thinking they were just rats hiding in the dark, always sneaking around, not at all aboveboard. In fact, Night Raiders were not assassins either. Strictly speaking, they were somewhere between assassins and killers. Of course, Night Raiders would not be as unknown as Fang Zheng.
But what she saw today gave Maine a completely new understanding of the profession of assassin.
Walk in darkness and serve the light.
To be honest, Marin really didn't believe that this was what the assassin would say, but she couldn't help but feel that this sentence was very... touching.
But the next scene made Ma Yin stunned.
Fang Zheng and his group arrived at a high tower. Then, Ma Yin saw the girl in the white assassin robe opened her arms and jumped directly from the tower!
Jumped down!!
“Wait, wait a minute!!”
Seeing Fang Zheng and the others nodded in satisfaction and turned to leave, Ma Yin was frightened and screamed.
"What are you doing? Why did she jump?"
“It’s part of our ritual, too.”
"Part of it? Jumping from this height would... kill someone!"
Marin swallowed her saliva and wanted to look towards the edge of the tower, but she didn't dare. Unlike her appearance, this girl was actually afraid of heights. Just standing on the tower made Marin's legs weak. She would never dare to go to the edge to look down.
"Ordinary people will, but assassins won't die."
Fang Zheng seemed very calm.
There is a difference between games and reality. In fact, even in the game, players can only jump to the thatched pile to make a leap of faith. If they jump to other places, it will "fail to synchronize". But in reality, it is not set like this. In fact, Professor Fang Zheng's "leap of faith" in reality seems to be more in line with its original meaning.
Simply put, as long as you have faith in your heart, it doesn’t matter how high you jump from!
Of course, if you were in an ordinary real world, this would definitely break the rules. But this world is different. There is magic, imperial tools, goblins, divine arts, and Lina Inbass who likes to bombard everywhere. A mere leap of faith is far inferior to the Dragon Slash, isn't it?
According to Fang Zheng's experimental results, by using the leap of faith, one can land smoothly even if jumping from a height of several hundred meters.
I just don’t know if my physical body can break through the atmosphere.
Well... it probably won't work. After all, it would be too awkward for a group of assassins to jump from outer orbit carrying oxygen tanks.
And there is no need for that.
"Okay, it's your turn next."
"What?"
Hearing this, Mayin jumped up in fright.
"Should we jump too?!"
"Of course not, unless you formally join the Brotherhood."
Fang Zheng looked at Marin speechlessly.
"Since you want to join, I need to understand your strength first. Come with me."
"call……"
Hearing this, Marin finally breathed a sigh of relief. She was so scared when she saw the female assassin jumping down that her legs went limp. Now she didn't dare to move towards the wall, for fear that she would fall down too - it would be a joke if she died!
Afterwards, Fang Zheng brought the two of them to the Brotherhood's secret training ground. At this moment, Main had finally recovered and began to proudly show off her and Akame's imperial weapons to Fang Zheng.
From Mayin, Fang Zheng learned that the imperial weapon she possessed was called Romantic Turret Pumpkin, a firearm imperial weapon that used mental power as bullets and could be transformed into a variety of forms at will. Well... I have to admit that the moment Fang Zheng heard the introduction of this imperial weapon, he immediately felt that this thing was tailor-made for Homura Akemi.
If Main wasn't considered a half-friendly army at the moment, he would have definitely snatched it away without saying a word.
But considering that Homura Akemi already has the Bow of the Archer, this thing is of no use.
And according to Marin, this romantic turret has a very interesting feature, that is, once the holder is in danger, the power of the romantic turret will increase, and the degree of increase is proportional to the degree of crisis the holder is in. In simple terms, the deeper into the danger, the greater the power.
Of course, for Fang Zheng, this feature is simply a pitfall. After all, anyone with a discerning eye can see that this imperial weapon is best suited for long-range sniping, and if a sniper is in danger, there is an 80% chance that he will not be able to escape, so what is the point of increasing the power?
but……
"What kind of gun can be transformed?"
"certainly."
In response to Fang Zheng's question, Ma Yin nodded complacently, and Fang Zheng thought for a moment, then reached out his hand.
"Lend it to me."
"It's okay if you want to see it..."
Seeing Fang Zheng extending his hand, Marin did not hesitate and quickly handed over the romantic turret on her back.
"But I have to tell you that each imperial tool can only be used by a specific person. Even if I give it to you..."
However, Ma Yin did not finish her words, because at this moment, she saw Fang Zheng took the Romantic Turret. The next moment, she heard a "crash" sound, and then the Romantic Turret immediately began to deform and quickly turned into a spear that Ma Yin did not recognize at all!
"Hmm...it does make sense..."
Fang Zheng tried several forms in succession and had to admit that this imperial weapon was quite interesting. It could simulate any firearm, from pistols and submachine guns to snipers, heavy machine guns and RPGs. Moreover, it could be directly filled with spiritual power without the need to manufacture bullets... Well, perhaps he could analyze the material of this imperial weapon and give it to the little girls?
After all, if there is such a weapon that can be transformed, it would obviously be a good thing for the Tiandao Palace.
"Wait, wait, why can you manipulate pumpkins?!"
At this moment, Main finally came to her senses, jumped up quickly and screamed.
"What's going on? This is my imperial weapon!"
Imperial tools recognize their masters. Logically speaking, they can only be used by people they recognize. If they are not recognized by others, they cannot be used. And generally, imperial tools only have one master. But now... looking at the romantic turret in Fang Zheng's hand, which has become more slippery than in her own hand, Mayin suddenly has the illusion that her wife has been taken away by the neighbor, and she is more open to him than in front of her...
"Okay, okay, why are you yelling? I'm not stealing yours..."
Facing the furious Marin, Fang Zheng rolled his eyes helplessly, and then returned the Romantic Turret to her. Marin also hurriedly took her own imperial tool and carefully checked it, wanting to see if Fang Zheng had done anything to it... But in the end, she found nothing.
"So, this Miss Akagi..."
"Don't even think about using Akame's weapon."
This time, before Fang Zheng could finish his words, Ma Yin jumped out and glared at him fiercely.
This is no wonder. After all, anyone would be unhappy if they see their wife being more attractive next to the guy next door.
"Akagome's weapon is the demon sword Murasame, which can kill with one strike. If you are hit by it, you will definitely die! This is our trump card for the night attack!"
"oh……"
However, to Myne's surprise, after listening to her introduction, Fang Zheng seemed a little bored, as if the Demon Sword Murasame was not as interesting to him as his Romantic Fortress. But soon, Fang Zheng nodded, walked to the center of the training ground, and gestured to Akahime.
"Then let's go down and fight. Let me see your strength."
"Wait, are you sure?"
Ma Yin was shocked to hear Fang Zheng's words.
"I'm not trying to scare you. Anyone hit by this knife will die!"
"The premise is that you can cut someone down."
Fang Zheng shook his head, and then looked at Akame again. Although Akame was a little confused at this moment, she still followed Fang Zheng's instructions and walked to the center of the training ground, then drew out the demon sword Murasame.
"Wait, Akagi you...ah..."
Seeing this, Marin was a little nervous. Chitong was a cute and adorable girl. You have to know that the man in front of her was the leader of the assassins. If Chitong accidentally killed the other person, it would be difficult to explain!
However, noticing Ma Yin's gaze, Akagi just turned around and glanced at her.
"This man is very strong."
"Do you want to challenge someone just because they are strong? You are not Leone!!"
Hearing this answer, Mayin immediately started to complain. What was even worse was that when she saw that Fang Zheng did not hold any weapon but directly stretched out his hands towards Chitong, Mayin's head hurt even more.
"Wait! Is this how you plan to deal with Akame? With bare hands? Without even a weapon?!"
"Of course I have weapons."
Hearing Ma Yin's question, Fang Zheng chuckled, and then they heard a slight click, and then the two saw two sharp blades similar to daggers suddenly pop out from under Fang Zheng's palms.
"This is called a hidden blade. It's the weapon of our assassins. Be careful."
“…”
Hearing Fang Zheng's words, Akame nodded, then she raised the Murasame in her hand and her expression became solemn.
Akatsuki was not stupid, and she was not a natural fool like Hill, so she knew she shouldn't use her sword against anyone casually. But Fang Zheng gave her too much pressure, and as a swordsman, Akatsuki could clearly feel the terrifying aura coming from Fang Zheng, so that only when Murasame was unsheathed and held in her hand, Akatsuki could regain some confidence in the battle, otherwise, she would be afraid before the battle!
“…”
Chi Tong took a deep breath and stared at Fang Zheng calmly. She had never seen this move of the other party before, but Chi Tong believed that one sword strike would be enough to kill him. After all, Murasame was such a weapon. Thinking of this, Chi Tong tightened the hilt of the sword, and then her figure flashed. The next moment, Chi Tong appeared in front of Fang Zheng and stabbed Fang Zheng's chest with a sword!
As Murasame's blade thrust out, Akame saw Fangzheng's right hand suddenly swing towards his blade, and then she saw a hidden sword suddenly emerge from Fangzheng's sleeve and slash at Murasame's blade. Then Fangzheng slid to the side, and Murasame, who had been thrusting straight out, also deviated to the side.
The next moment, Fang Zheng just took a step forward, and the cold touch immediately pressed against Chi Tong's throat.
"That's it."
Fang Zheng stretched his hands forward, making a gesture of grabbing Chi Tong's neck, and his two hidden blades had already popped out and crossed on Chi Tong's neck. If Fang Zheng had not shown mercy, the hidden blades would have pierced Chi Tong's neck at this moment, turning her into a dead person.
Fang Zheng retracted his hidden blade and looked at Chi Tong again.
"Just as I thought, you are weak."
Then, Fang Zheng spoke.
