Afterwards, Fang Zheng checked Katima's blood - well, all indicators were normal, belonging to the healthy human level, and there was no sign of any "royal blood curse" or anything like that. But then again, curses are unscientific, and you probably won't get any results if you use science to test them.

Of course, if there is some kind of hereditary symptom, it can also be regarded as a genetic defect, but this kind of thing cannot be detected here.

Perhaps because she was too tired, Katima continued to sleep until late at night, when she groaned and opened her eyes. Then, Katima stared at the ceiling in front of her, stunned for a moment, then slowly sat up and looked around blankly.

"I...I am..."

"Hey, you're awake? How are you?"

Seeing Katima wake up, Fang Zheng raised his hand and waved at her. The latter hesitated for a moment and nodded at Fang Zheng.

"It's okay... I just feel a little uncomfortable..."

"Well, judging from the current test report, you don't have any serious problems. Of course, if it's a recessive genetic disease, that's another matter."

Fang Zheng waved his hand and put the test report aside.

"By the way, you're afraid of blood? You must have seen a lot of blood on the battlefield."

"this……"

Hearing Fang Zheng's joke, Katima blushed slightly and lowered her head.

"It's strange to say, I'm not afraid on the battlefield, but when I saw you, Mr. Kasugano, drawing blood from my arm with that tube... I felt... a little uncomfortable..."

"Oh...I understand."

Hearing this, Fang Zheng understood immediately. He had seen many people with similar symptoms in the fantasy world. Fighting a monster was as easy as killing chickens, but if you asked them to gut the monster's corpse and roast it to eat, those people would turn pale and look like they were going to hang themselves.

If it were Katima's era, you could say she must have seen a lot of people hacking at each other with swords, but if you were to talk about using a tube to draw blood from someone, that would definitely be beyond Katima's understanding.

Not to mention drawing blood from your own body.

Like in many horror movies, a battle-hardened warrior would vomit when seeing the bloody and bizarre human experiments performed by a necromancer or Frankenstein. It's pretty much the same principle.

"It's okay, you'll get used to it after a few more times."

Fang Zheng casually said something to comfort him, but he didn't know whether it was useful or not.

Hearing about Fang Zheng's safety, Katima smiled bitterly, then lowered her head. After a moment's silence, she spoke.

"Actually... that's not a curse, but the memory of the Cardian royal family."

"memory?"

"Yes, the kings of Cardia will preserve their memories from generation to generation and pass them on to the next king, and that man is the holder of the memory..."

"Wow, this is more advanced than the centipede."

Fang Zheng didn't understand the meaning of this, but for Katima, she seemed to have suffered a great blow.

"And I also learned about the rebel from the previous king's memory..."

According to Katima, the clan of that rebel used to be a secret clan working for Cardia, but one time, someone from their clan was captured while performing a mission in another country, and in order to avoid being involved with them and causing a war between the two countries, the royal family at that time simply turned their backs on them and even completely wiped out that clan. That rebel was the last survivor of that secret clan... Well, no wonder he came to kill us.

If you look at it this way, the rebel is quite like the protagonist in an online novel. His entire family was killed, and he barely escaped, obtained a powerful artifact, and then turned around to avenge his family... It is indeed the routine of a revenge protagonist.

"I... don't know what to do."

After learning about this from her memory, Katima was quite depressed. She had always thought that what she did was to protect the country and the people, and for justice. But after obtaining the memory of the previous king, she found out that the royal family was the culprit for all these tragedies. If they had not massacred the Hidden Clan, the survivor would not have taken revenge on them.

So, if we start a war now, wouldn’t it just be a chain of hatred?

Must this continue?

"Mr. Kasugano, even so, are you still willing to help me?"

"certainly."

Compared to Katima's sad question, Fang Zheng's answer seemed quite calm.

"Actually, I don't care."

"……Why?"

"I think you've made a mistake, Miss Katima."

Fang Zheng took a sip of coffee and stared at Katima with a smile.

"Indeed, the brutal killings by the other side are something that we feel very indignant and cannot accept. However, the reason why we assist you is not because of justice, morality or conscience, but simply a deal - you provide supplies as a reward, and we are responsible for the battle. Therefore, the legitimacy of the battle is not something we need to consider. Of course, for me personally, this is no big deal."

"is that so?"

It must be said that Katima was also shocked to hear Fang Zheng's answer. She didn't expect him to say that. Katima originally thought that the war had continued until now, and it was all the fault of the royal family. She even considered whether to surrender directly and end it all...

"That's right. Look, the royal family killed his clan, leaving only him. Now he has destroyed the royal family again, leaving only you... Isn't this just perfect?"

Having said this, Fang Zheng snorted coldly.

"In this way, as long as one of you dies, this war can be completely ended. I won't say anything like revenge will never end. It's up to you to repent or reflect on your life, but I suggest you wait until you win before considering these issues. Reflection is the privilege of the victor, and the loser is not qualified to reflect... because the dead can't think. What's more - you are not fighting alone."

Fang Zheng put down the coffee in his hand, then stood up and looked at Katima who was in deep thought.

"In short, this is your world. You make a choice and you have to bear the consequences. It doesn't matter what your purpose is or what your motivation is. In the final analysis, the moment you make a choice, you have to face everything that happens next."

"...Choices and consequences...?"

"That's right. In order to distance themselves from the matter, the Cardia royal family wiped out the people of that clan. This was their choice, and now this is the result they have gotten."

Fang Zheng spread his hands and shrugged.

"The world is changing, and what you hope for is not necessarily what you can get. I think when they made the decision, they obviously didn't expect this day to come. So, the motivation is not important, the reason is not important, the most important thing is that you made a choice and have to face the consequences. No matter how you decide, in the final analysis, this is your world, your country, and your own business. If you are not willing to make choices and decisions yourself, then there is nothing we can do."

"My world..."

After hearing Fang Zheng's words, Katima fell into silence. After a long while, she raised her head and stared at Fang Zheng.

"Thank you, Mr. Kasugano. I already know what to do... Tomorrow, I will launch an attack on the royal city. I will face him head-on. By then, both he and I will have a final understanding."

"Then I wish you immediate success."

Katima kept her word. The next morning, she led her army again and headed straight for the royal city.

And this time, Haolin's students finally ran into trouble.

Although the previous battle was fierce, for Haolin's students, as long as they defeated the Sword Spirit, the others would surrender immediately. But this was obviously not the case in the royal city. In addition to the Sword Spirit, the army loyal to the rebels also attacked everyone with a covetous look. This immediately made the students flustered - after all, they had truly experienced the feeling of a war.

"Yeah, not bad."

Standing on the lightsaber, looking at the boiling battlefield below, Fang Zheng nodded with satisfaction. This time, not only Haolin's students, but also the rebels led by Katima joined the battle. After breaking through the city gate, the two sides immediately started street fighting. However, Katima obviously did not intend to entangle here, but led the elite troops directly into the palace. After all, as long as the culprit can be defeated, then the war will be completely over!

"Get out of the way!! Aren't you human? Don't waste your life! Surrender quickly!"

"Shut up, we have already sacrificed our lives for General Daraba, we will never surrender!"

The roaring knight raised his weapon and rushed towards Katima, while Katima closed her eyes and sighed helplessly. Then she flashed and swung the black sword in her hand hard, instantly chopping the knight in front of her away. With the splattering blood, the knight fell to the ground and turned into a corpse.

“I can’t believe it…”

Behind Katima, Toto Kirin, Julie and others looked at the corpses on the ground with strange expressions. In their opinion, the other party was a brutal and cruel executioner, and when they had an overwhelming advantage, the executioner's men were unwilling to surrender and would rather sacrifice their lives?

Why would they do that?

For these young girls who are still inexperienced in the world, they obviously cannot understand the meaning of it.
