YM778.TV Chapter 826 I Pity The Assassins Who Would Come After Us.
"Huh? Eh?"
The seller finally came out of reverie.
He didn\'t know what happened.
He just suddenly blanked out without any apparent reason.
"Nux, he doesn\'t seem very interested in selling, should we just leave?"
Melia turned towards Nux and questioned.
"Calm down, Melia.
You, 4,500,000 Eons, we will take it.
Do you wish to sell or not?"
"O-Of course! I-I\'ll take it.
I apologize for not answering, I have not been well these days."
The seller scratched his head with a silly smile on his face.
Nux then threw a storage ring toward the seller,
"Here."
"T-Thank you.
I-I will take my leave now,
This Base is all yours now.
My Guild will send some people to give you the control over all the Formations by the evening.
Please contact the Guild if you face any problems in the future."
"You are not going to count?"
"I trust that the ExceedoGenesis won\'t try to cheat a mere Merchant like me."
"Heh, you have a way with your words."
Nux smiled.
"I will take that as a compliment." The seller laughed and bowed his head, but just as he was about to leave,
"What is your name?" Nux questioned.
"Amerigo Wiklestein, my Lord."
Amerigo replied.
"I will remember that." Nux nodded.
Amerigo smiled and bowed his head,
"It will be my honor, my lord."
Saying those words, Amerigo walked away.
"He is quite skilled."
Amaya commented after Amerigo walked away.
"Indeed."
Ember nodded her head.
"And this place, it is amazing," Nux spoke as he looked around with a satisfied smile on his face.
"Of course it is.
I was the one who chose it after all."
"I have a question."
Suddenly, Thyra spoke up.
"What is it?"
"Why do we need a Defensive Formation?
Didn\'t you say the Ancestral Order protects us?"
"Huh? I never mentioned that the Ancestral Order protects us.
They just don\'t allow one clan to attack another.
According to their rules, no Clan should attack another Clan, they never said they would protect any clan.
They would punish the clan that broke the rules and will most likely destroy that clan but that doesn\'t mean they have the power to revive the clan that was attacked."
Astaria explained.
"So you are saying that the Ancestral Order only takes care of the aftermath, surviving depends on the clans themselves."
Felberta spoke.
"That is correct."
"But who in their right mind would attack a Clan when they know that the Order will destroy them later?"
Ember questioned.
"Things are not that simple.
There have been cases in the past where a Clan has disappeared overnight and the Order didn\'t do anything."
"How is that possible?"
"There were no survivors."
Astaria spoke.
Everyone focused their attention on her and she continued,
"As a Clan grows, it creates many enemies in the process,
Any normal Clan has around 10-12 enemies clans.
If a Clan is destroyed without any survivors to share the leads on the incident,
The Order wouldn\'t go around searching for everything on their own.
After all, no one would support you if you are dead.
Not even the Order."
"So as long as a Clan is 100% sure that they can destroy another clan without leaving behind any evidence that they are involved..."
"They can act as they please."
Nux completed.
"Then what\'s the point of creating these rules?"
Thyra couldn\'t understand.
"The Ancestral Order isn\'t a righteous organization that protects the weak, Thyra.
They are an Organization that ensures that the people of Yrniel do not end up killing themselves, destroying Yrniel\'s future.
They want to protect the people who have the potential to be strong in the future.
They created an environment where even the slightest mistake of your opponent can lead to his entire clan\'s demise.
They leave a lead, they die.
If even a single person in the Clan they attacked survives, they die.
If there were any witnesses, they die.
If all the suspicions are on them, they die.
Honestly, successfully destroying any clan without getting caught is close to impossible.
The Ancestral Order\'s message is clear, if you can\'t protect yourself even in these conditions, then you might as well die."
Astaria spoke with a strict expression on her face.
Thyra turned silent.
"Sister Astaria is correct."
Suddenly, Melia spoke up as well.
"No warrior comes out of a place that is always protected by other warriors.
Strong are born from struggle, not comfort.
If the Ancestral Order actually wanted to protect everyone, Organizations like the Assassination Hall, Information Hall, and the others wouldn\'t exist."
"There is an Assassination Hall?" Skyla\'s ears perked up.
After being trained by her Sister Thyra, she has always been curious about anything related to Assassins.
"Of course there is."
Astaria nodded her head.
"Just like the Merchant Guild, there are different Assassination Halls that kill people for Eons. However, unlike in our Continent where the Assassins were trained to kill themselves the moment they were captured, here, the assassins are forced to give out the name of the contractor who ordered them to assassinate the target and they cannot lie about it."
"Huh? To give out the name of their master? What kind of assassin is that?" Thyra was the first one to react like that.
"Well, it is the one and only Rule of the Assassination Hall. I am pretty sure the one behind it is the Ancestral Order." Astaria replied.
"So if someone hires an Assassin, he has to make sure that the target is dead, otherwise…"
"Yep, the Ancestral Order will get in,"
Astaria nodded.
"Heh, hiring an Assassin is as good as committing suicide.
I wonder if anyone even hires them." Nux laughed.
"A lot of them do actually."
Astaria replied.
"Though it comes with significant risks, the success rate of these Assassination Halls is more than 90%, there are some popular assassins who have never failed. So many people hire them to deal with their enemies.
That is also another reason why the Defensive Formation is a necessity." Astaria explained.
"Heh, then I pity the Assassins who would come after us."
Nux laughed.
Then, a white colored sphere appeared in his hand and his smile widened,
"Well then, shall we connect this place to our actual House?"
"Heh, those assassins would never even find us, let alone kill us." Skyla laughed out loud.
