Chương 80: People Who Meet Esdeath's Requirements for a Partner

Nearly a year has passed, and apart from the battle with the Baltus tribe, Esdeath has not found any news about Yosei.

About a few months ago, Yang Cheng suddenly sent her a letter, saying that this woman, Lacia Chiyang, was his family and that he hoped he could help her.

Esdeath knew very well that the Baltes tribe had been wiped out by the northern alien races, and they had no relatives left.

But Esdeath quickly remembered that Yangcheng's mother was not originally a member of the Baltes tribe, but rather someone his father had taken from the Empire's merchant corps.

In other words, the Lacia Akah mentioned in the letter is very likely to be Yang Cheng's cousin.

Esdeath had been searching for Yang Cheng for a year without success, but now that Yang Cheng suddenly has a cousin, Esdeath thinks this is a good breakthrough.

Judging from the fact that Yang Cheng risked being discovered by himself to ask him to help his cousin, it's clear that Yang Cheng values this only remaining relative very much.

In other words, if she could cultivate a good relationship with this noble lady named Lacia Chiyang, she might be able to extract information from her...

They found out information about Yang Cheng.

Esdeath would never imprison or interrogate Laceya, because her cruel and ruthless nature is reserved for her enemies.

Esdeath believes that Yang Cheng is only a little "rebellious" now, and with proper guidance, he will definitely become obedient in the future.

Furthermore, their two previous encounters had made Esdeath acknowledge Yang Cheng's strength and sparked a certain sexual interest in him.

Despite her great strength, Esdeath also has a feminine side and believes that procreation is an important thing.

After pacifying the northern nomadic tribes, she always wanted to have a normal romantic relationship.

However, Esdeath also has certain requirements for her romantic partner.

1. No matter what else matters, the most important thing is to value the possibilities of the future. I hope to train myself to become a general.

2. A person who is courageous enough to hunt dangerous species with her even when empty-handed.

3. Like her, he grew up not in the capital but in a border region.

4. Be younger than her, because that way you can be easily controlled by her.

5. Ideally, it should be someone with a pure and innocent smile.

To put it simply, Esdeath's ideal partner is a man who is promising, capable, courageous, grew up on the frontier, is younger than her, and loves to laugh.

Esdeath herself felt that meeting all five requirements at the same time was somewhat demanding.

But when she thought about it again, she suddenly realized that Yang Cheng was actually a perfect match.

As for the first point, Yang Cheng already possessed the strength and potential to become an Imperial General.

Secondly, if one has the guts, there's even less to say. Yang Cheng dared to directly contradict her. How many people in the entire empire have such courage?

Growing up on the border, point three? Just kidding, Yang Cheng not only fits the description, but is also a childhood friend from the same clan, okay?

Fourthly, regarding age, Yang Cheng seems to be a bit younger than her, although the difference is only about two or three years.

As for the last point, having a pure smile, Esdeath doesn't know if Yosei fits this description, but she can discover it slowly.

After all, there are only a handful of people in the entire empire who can meet the previous four criteria.

In addition, Yang Cheng and she both come from the Balutes tribe, and the two of them can continue the bloodline of the same tribe. What more could you ask for?

For these reasons, Esdeath would never attack Lacey.

Because she knew very well that if she really did something to Lacia, then given Yang Cheng's personality, they would truly become enemies.

Esdeath only wanted to train Yoshinori, but she never intended to turn him into an enemy. Therefore, before their positions were completely opposed, she would not do anything to Lacia, and would even choose to take care of and protect her.

For this reason, she dispatched the "Three Beast Warriors," her capable henchmen under the Demon King, to the capital not only to eliminate the "Night Raid," but also to investigate the relationship between Lacia Chiyang and Yang Cheng.

"Report: We have discovered the body of the executioner Zank, who was beheaded, outside the slums of the capital. It is currently believed to have been the result of a night raid."

While the Three Beast Warriors were still questioning Seryu about the details of the previous battle, a member of the guard team came to report that Decapitated Zanko had died on the other side of the capital.

Upon hearing the report from the guards, Riva, one of the three beastmen, frowned slightly.

Both Zank the Decapitator and Seryu were users of Imperial Arms, yet Night Raid managed to kill one and severely injure the other in a single night.

Clearly, the "Night Raid" was not as simple as they had imagined. At the very least, the enemy was definitely not a mob, but an elite force capable of killing Teigu users.

At the night raid stronghold, after some emergency treatment, Hill was finally out of danger.

Later, during the work report, Tatsumi also took out the "Five-Vision Omnipotent" trophy they had captured.

Tatsumi had always been quite envious of the other members of Night Raid, who were all Teigu users.

So when Najenda asked Tatsumi to try and see if he could use the Imperial Arm, the latter couldn't wait to put it on his head.

Although "Five Visions Omnipotent" is a bit ugly in appearance, Tatsumi had personally witnessed its immense power.

However, soon after he put on the "Five Visions Omnipotent" on his head and tried to use his abilities to see through Yang Cheng and the others' thoughts, a sharp pain shot straight to the top of his head, causing his face to contort in pain.

Seeing Tatsumi trembling in pain, Brand smiled wryly and asked, "Tatsumi, what was your first impression of this Imperial Arm?"

Faced with his older brother Brand's question, Tatsumi could only answer truthfully: "While my abilities are strong, they're still not as cool as your armor, Brother Brand—"

"That's understandable. Imperial Arms and Imperial Arms Users are generally suited to each other, and often, your first impression of an Imperial Arm can give you a general idea of whether it suits you."

Seeing that Tatsumi didn't fit the "Five Visions" description, Najenda said, "It seems this Imperial Arm isn't suitable for Tatsumi. We'll have to send it back to the Revolutionary Army headquarters."

"Should we send me back to headquarters? Since I'm not suitable, why don't you guys give me a try, Brother Brand?"

I remember Yang Cheng's first impression of this Imperial Arms was quite good, right?

Upon hearing Tatsumi's words, Yang Cheng really wanted to step forward and try out the Imperial Arm "Five Visions of Omnipotence," but he was stopped by Najenda, who looked anxious, as soon as he reached out his hand.

"Yang Cheng, you should give up on this Imperial Arm. The fact that you can use two Imperial Arms at the same time is almost unprecedented."

Using three Imperial Arms at the same time is far too dangerous. Don't gamble with your life!
