When the sound of Cassette Cutting attracted everyone's attention, Lin and his men slipped away from a side alley.
Anyway, they were only going to the east of the city, and there was not only one way to go, so it was not a big deal to take a detour. But at this time, Uzov came up and asked, "Sir, is it okay to give them the Cassette Cutting?"
"What do you mean by problem?"
In the face of the mage's question, Uzov thought seriously and said, "It seems that no matter how it develops, it will be bad." For example, if the Cassette Cutting was used to cut people, with its sharpness, there would be a lot of casualties. Another example would be if the Cassette Cutting said something wrong, and then there would be a lot of trouble.
To this, Lin said indifferently, "There is a saying in my hometown: if you do not do anything wrong in your life, you will not be afraid of ghosts knocking on your door in the middle of the night. As long as he didn't do anything shameful and didn't plan to play dirty tricks, he wouldn't do anything that was too out of line. Don't be fooled by its love of saying things like 'you humans are different from me.' In fact, in addition to being very curious and afraid of loneliness, it is also much wiser than you and I think. After all, it has lived in the mysterious land for tens of thousands of years. This is not including its experience before this, because in the original world of the Cassette Cutting, there is no concept of time. "
"Tens of thousands of years?" Uzov was not the only one who was shocked, and the people who were paying attention to the conversation were also shocked.
Lin did not care and continued to talk about the secrets of the Cassette Cutting clan. That guy did not ask him to keep it a secret anyway. There was no need to keep it a secret, it was just that no one spread it.
"The Cassette Cutting clan came to the mysterious land tens of thousands of years ago, in the era of the Great War of Gods and Devils, driven by curiosity, through an ancient World Tree that had been destroyed. They could not move in the mysterious land with their own strength, so they could only rotate between different users. Because of this, they have witnessed the history of countless mysterious lands, but only the parts that they have participated in. "
Although the Cassette Cutting could establish a spiritual connection with its owner, so that the owner could not lie to the Cassette Cutting, there was no spiritual network between the clans to connect with each other. Lin learned from the Cassette Cutting that when the clans met, they were usually on different sides, attacking and destroying each other. Therefore, the information about the clans was based on the knowledge of the owner.
It was precisely because of this limitation that a certain someone wanted to dig out some historical secrets from this living history book to satisfy his desire for gossip. Unfortunately, what it knew was not necessarily more than what was recorded in history. Occasionally, there would be some shocking gossip from the person who once owned it.
It was also because they had lived for such a long time that they were more afraid of loneliness than ordinary people. They were afraid of not being able to prove that they still existed. At the same time, they had accumulated enough wisdom over the years to form their own personalities. They would not be influenced by their owners and easily change themselves. This was also the reason why they would choose their owners.
It was said that if a couple wanted to be together, they would choose their other half carefully. Even if it was just traveling together or working together, people would choose a partner that was suitable for them. Why wouldn't Xiqie choose someone who could hold her and go on adventures?
Therefore, Lin Yi was not worried at all about the possibility of the Cassette Cutting being handed over to the aristocrat and never coming back.
Not to mention that he could recall the Cassette Cutting at any time. If the other party only did some trivial things, it would not have a big impact. Handing over the Cassette Cutting would just be a diversion. But if he did something big that angered the heavens and the people, the consequences would not be small.
After all, the Wicked Sword would most likely be revealed to the public. No one could threaten it except to throw it far away. What the eye doesn't see, the heart doesn't grieve over it.
It was just that someone thought that he had thrown a grenade, but in fact, what exploded was a nuclear bomb that would shake the situation in Abadan.
They followed their original plan to buy some daily necessities at the branch of the Sorcerer's Association to return their appearance to the civilized world. Then, they went to the restaurant recommended by Hassan Bakhsh and had some hot vegetable soup that they hadn't eaten for a long time. However, an unexpected massacre took place on the streets of Abadan.
Farzad, a powerhouse in the 10th Legion of the Empire's regular army, crazily chased after his benefactor, Viscount Niyah's family. He did not care about hurting the innocent and used all kinds of large-scale killing techniques on the battlefield without hesitation.
The sheriff who was in charge of Abadan was the first to step forward, but he was killed. The title of the seed of the Extraordinaire was not just a title. It was a recognition of strength. And this gap in strength could only be filled with ten times, no, a hundred times the number of casualties. It was just that the sheriff's morale collapsed before enough lives were paid. No one dared to stand in front of Farzad.
And one of the root causes of the matter was the second son of the Niyah family. As soon as the chaos began, he used a life-saving portal scroll to escape from the scene. It was this action that caused the situation to escalate beyond control.
The second bloody scene was Farzad's home. The victims were his virtuous and beautiful wife and two cute and clingy children, a boy and a girl. The children did not understand what they had done wrong until they died. On the other hand, their mother looked relieved and calmly accepted her death.
Farzad lived in a high-class area in the military family district. His actions on the spot ignited the sensitive nerves of the higher-ups in Abadan. The 10th Legion of the regular army was mobilized. Of course, the one in charge was his direct superior, Viscount Niyah's eldest son, Baili Niyah, and his thousand-man team.
Could an army that had been at peace for a long time fight? If this was on Earth, someone could very responsibly say that they could not. Thinking about the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty, it was not hard to understand what happened after that. But in this mysterious land, someone could also very responsibly say that no matter what, they would still retain some combat power. This was caused by the different realities of the two worlds.
The natural threat of the mysterious land was much higher than that of Earth, so there were many adventurers. This meant that the civilian forces were quite strong, although they could only be considered stragglers. If the military force of a country did not have enough power to suppress the civilian forces, how long could it last? It would be overthrown in minutes! Look at the Americans who were allowed to carry guns. What level of equipment did the police have?
That was why the Gewane Empire's army was a mess of officers, but the most basic soldiers were still very capable. And no matter how bad the officers were, they still had a bottom line. Aside from the basic military force, they did not dare to take empty pay, or put their eight and eighty-year-old relatives in the army to make up the numbers. Otherwise, if monsters attacked the city, not only would all the soldiers under their command die, but they would also not be able to protect themselves.
In such an environment, the fact that a civilian like Farzad could be an officer of the empire was very encouraging among the soldiers. And killing fellow soldiers was something that no one was willing to do, especially when the source of the trouble was the nobles.
Unfortunately, the red-eyed knight did not care about this at all. When he saw the noble friend who grew up with him, he directly used a war charge and almost killed his way through the army formation.
In the end, under the attack of thousands of arrows and the obstruction of the elite mage team, the knight who was once said to have the potential to reach the Transcendent realm lost that opportunity forever. The price was a thousand soldiers, nearly one-third of the casualties that could not be demobilized, nearly half of the injured soldiers who could not move for a short period of time, and the future of Baili Nia.
The scandal that was exposed in public spread at a speed that no one could have imagined. This was also because the casualties caused by Farzad were too severe. Whenever it was mentioned, it was inevitable that people would ask, "Why?" And then that shameful scandal was brought up again.
When the person involved wanted to cover up the truth, it was too late. In particular, the most damaging was the question raised by Cassette Cutting: why did the eldest son of Viscount Nia reveal the whereabouts of his fiancée to his younger brother?
Perhaps Baili Nia's position was still there, but not only the heavy casualties of his subordinates, but also the estrangement between his superior and his colleagues made him understand the fickleness of the world. Even the way his subordinates looked at him was a little strange. To some extent, his younger brother, Akar Nia, did indeed teach his elder brother a lesson, the kind that cut off a few pounds of flesh.
However, the destruction caused by Cassette Cutting did not end there. Perhaps from the moment Akar Nia abandoned it, the battle had nothing to do with it at all. But the divine weapons that were left behind were still brought back to the thieves' guild in Abadan City by greedy thieves, and then there was a second commotion.
If the first incident was due to the scandals of the nobles, which led to a series of massacres, then everything that happened in the Thieves' Association was due to a hidden weakness that a certain wicked sword had recklessly publicized everywhere, which led to an unforeseen event.
This included the black data that threatened people, the location of hidden treasures, the weakness of martial arts, and the things that people feared the most. When all of this was spread out in the light of the sun, it meant the end of that person's life. In particular, Cassette Cutting's powerful lethality, who would be willing to not use it in a fight? Even if it was used, it would be bad luck.
For a certain heartless sword, no one who held it was a good person. They were all bastards who deserved to die, so it had no scruples when it spoke.
Although Cassette Cutting could establish a soul connection with the wielder and read the wielder's mind, it was limited to the things that the wielder was thinking about. It could not dig into the depths of the memory. However, this was the interesting part. When the wielder held it, it was inevitable that they would have a self-examination: "What have I done? If that's the case, am I really qualified to own Cassette Cutting? "
As soon as such a thought appeared in the mind, it would be captured by the sword. Coupled with a few short key questions, it could easily remind the wielder of what they had done, and at the same time, the Cassette Cutting would know about it. Such a method was a technique that had been researched from a certain someone's psychology.
In the past, Cassette Cutting could only exhaust the wielder's mind through a soul connection, forcing the wielder to give up on it. But now, Cassette Cutting had the ability to communicate with the outside world. If there was any dissatisfaction, it could speak loudly and directly pierce the sky. When people realized that the danger of this weapon was not only in the blade, Abadan City was no longer peaceful.
