Chapter 119 The Talk Between The Assassins.
"Heh. Master Nux is generous!"
"Generous indeed."
More and more assassins joined.
Right now, Thyra was distributing the weapons Alger gave to her, however, there was a tinge of redness on her face.
The assassins noticed that but didn\'t dare to say anything.
That was because they learned their lessons yesterday.
Yesterday, Thyra had a similar expression on her face and one of the assassins pointed it out.
That assassin is still in the bed right now.
From his injuries, everyone deduced that it would take him a week to recover and that too only if he takes a healing potion every day.
Poor man.
However, his sacrifice saved the others since no one dared to question the redness on Thyra\'s face.
"Alright, get in line and all the assassins who have 4-star weapons, you guys stay away from here," Thyra ordered.
A very few assassins had 4-star weapons, most of the Master Stage Assassins carried 3-star weapons and all the Advance Stage assassins carried 2-star weapons.
However, now, Master Stage assassins can carry 4-star weapons and the Advance stage assassins can carry 3-star weapons.
This will be a big boost to their fighting capabilities.
Therefore, all of them were very excited.
"Heh. Master Nux is such a generous master." An assassin muttered after he got his new weapon.
"It\'s so easy to win you guys over, huh…" Thyra muttered.
"It is not about being easy or difficult, Miss One. I just thought about it a little." The assassin replied.
"Oh? What are you thinking about? Mind sharing it with us?" Thyra questioned. She wanted to know what was going on in his mind, maybe because she was confused about her current situation as well.
"I remained loyal to most of the Kingdom for most of my life, Miss One. I started killing people at the age of 8, all for the kingdom. I was even prepared to die for my kingdom.
However, if I think about it now, it all started when the kingdom took me in and raised me as an orphan. I believe they gave me a \'life\' but that was far from the truth.
They did not raise us as humans, Miss One. They raised us as assassins, they raised us as tools.
Heh, they changed our perception, made us narrow-minded, they practically brainwashed us.
What\'s there to be grateful about?" The assassin answered.
The other assassins who listened to him nodded their head and one of them stepped forward as she muttered,
"I agree with Twelve, we are nothing but tools, the kingdom doesn\'t value us at all.
Look at you Miss One, just like all of us, you gave your entire life to the kingdom as well, heck, you worked even harder than us, and rose to a good position, but what did you get in return?
You couldn\'t even win their basic trust, Miss One.
\'An Orphan can\'t be trusted with such matters.\'
That\'s what you got, Miss One.
They sent a spy to keep their eyes on you, your lifetime worth of loyalty counts to nothing in their eyes.
Actually, I am surprised you still have some loyalty left for the kingdom."
The female assassin muttered and another assassin continued,
"I agree with these two as well, Miss One." Another assassin nodded.
Thyra then glanced at the other assassins and they all nodded as well.
"I understand your thoughts; however, that still doesn\'t explain why you are loyal to Nux? He used his weird magic to control you all, at least you have the freedom of your thoughts when you worked for the kingdom but under him, you don\'t even have that.
Just thinking about betraying him a little would activate that agonizing pain and the pain will keep increasing until you get rid of those thoughts and think about being loyal to him.
Isn\'t that worse?"
"As you said, Miss One, Master Nux used his weird magic on us, we don\'t really have an option other than being loyal to him.
As for comparing him with the kingdom… I feel that Master Nux is still better, the kingdom fooled us and tried to brainwash us, whereas he told us our position up front.
About the pain, Miss One, don\'t forget, we were trained to handle the pain ever since we were 12. The kingdom started torturing us at such a tender age.
The kingdom just doesn\'t have the way to torture us in a more painful way, else I am sure they would have used that on us as well.
They tortured their \'allies\' while Master Nux tortured their \'enemies\', there is a big difference between that, Miss One." The female assassin answered.
"Also, I am sure the kingdom is a lot richer than Master Nux, however, they still gave us 3 Star Weapons. On the other hand, Master Nux gave us 4-star weapons.
He is generous indeed." \'Twelve\' muttered as his eyes shined in excitement when he held the new dagger in his hand.
Seeing him acting like that, Thyra just shook her head and sighed,
"Isn\'t it better to say that Nux bought you all with these weapons?"
"Hahaha~ You can say that as well. Our mentality has been twisted after being trained as assassins since we were children, Miss One. Our love for weapons is very high.
A new weapon is a great way to win our favour." Twelve laughed out loud as he held his dagger gently.
Thyra smiled as well.
They were so simple-minded.
"Also, Master Nux isn\'t a normal man. I have a feeling that serving him will be a lot more beneficial to us than serving the kingdom." Suddenly, Twelve muttered with an unusually serious look on his face.
"Hmm? What do you mean?" Thyra questioned, even the other assassins looked a little interested.
"I don\'t know how to explain this to you, ah, I got it.
So hear me out."
