Congratulations on being an NPC

Chapter 240 "Fear"

Although this world is not so cruel.

Or it can be said that the world has been at peace for a long time. Except for some frictions between the empire and several big countries due to border issues, there has not been any large-scale war in this world for a long time.

This world can barely be called a peaceful world.

But it is precisely because of this that the big countries in this world have blocked the resources of small countries to an unbelievable level.

In times of war, big countries would still aid small countries based on humanitarianism, but in this peaceful age, this is wishful thinking.

Because even a small country will not starve to death without learning resources, so there is no need for assistance.

And because the strength gap between big and small countries is too large, no matter whether it is the empire itself or countries such as the elf kingdom, they can all be self-sufficient, so there is no need for these small countries.

Under such various reasons, there is only one purpose of the big country for the small country.

Blocking resources that can make a small country stronger, use all means to block.

In the eyes of the big countries represented by the empire, although these small countries are not worth mentioning, it cannot be completely denied that they have the possibility of becoming a big country.

After all, in ancient times, no matter whether it was an empire or other big countries, they all developed from small countries.

Therefore, they dare not underestimate the potential of small countries at all. It is precisely because of this that big countries block various resources from small countries in order to prevent another big country from appearing in this world.

On this continent, the territory has been almost divided. If there is another large country at this time, other countries will have to bear the consequences.

Obviously, neither the empire nor other countries are willing to bear this consequence.

Then, it is not surprising that things have developed to this point.

The Novoris country that Arno is in now is just one of many small countries.

Everything that happened to Novoris also happened to other small countries.

It is precisely because of this that there is no one in this place who can teach Arno space magic.

If there is someone with that strength, it must not be a resident of this country, but a traveler.

The possibility of travelers in this country is not zero, and likewise, the possibility of powerful travelers in this country is not zero.

However, to Yano, this is just an indifferent matter.

He simply doesn't have any extra time to look for some traveler, even if he finds it, there is no condition to impress him.

Moreover, Zhao Xueya would not allow Yano to waste time learning magic.

"..."

Yano quietly raised his head to glance at the bright moon hanging above his head, and sighed faintly.

This voice was not heard by Zhao Xueya, or rather, Zhao Xueya heard it, but she didn't care at all.

In short, the current Zhao Xueya is putting all her attention on the observation facilities.

Even from Zhao Xueya's point of view, this facility's defensive power is remarkable.

But still the same sentence, for Zhao Xueya, this is just commonplace.

Therefore, she was not as surprised by the power of this defense as Yano was.

"...It's not that there is no chance at all."

Zhao Xueya said softly to Yano.

The sound was so soft that even a gust of wind could blow it away.

However, even such a slight sound was faithfully transmitted to Arno's ears.

There was no emotion in Zhao Xueya's voice, no confidence in her words, no wavering, just the same Zhao Xueya as before.

But precisely because of Zhao Xueya's performance, Yanuo felt at ease.

If even Zhao Xueya is shaken, then this action will definitely not be completed.

Because, the protagonist of this action is not Yanuo, but Zhao Xueya herself.

However, even if Yano felt a little relieved, he couldn't help feeling puzzled.

"Where is the opportunity...?"

Arno once again looked at the arrangement around the facility with the binoculars.

No matter from which angle you look at it, the light in that place has no dead ends, and even places with slightly weak light are full of ambushing people.

Although this defense piled up by manpower is not commendable, it obviously has no dead ends.

To sneak in under such a situation, Yanuo really didn't know what Zhao Xueya should do.

"It's simple."

Facing Yanuo's question, Zhao Xueya stood up decisively.

This action made Yano's eyes twitch. Although this place is unlikely to be discovered by other people, it still makes people feel frightened.

Although Yanuo was not like this, he was still taken aback by Zhao Xueya's recklessness.

"What we have to do is not difficult, just stand up and then walk in."

However, it was Zhao Xueya's words that surprised Yanuo even more.

——This is Zhao Xueya's strategy, simply walk in.

This is not a strategy in any sense, but simply reckless.

However, although Yano felt it was unbelievable, he did not refute it.

Zhao Xueya's experience is much richer than that of Kia Nuo, so she definitely won't mess around at this time.

The reason why she did this must have her own reasons. Although Yanuo didn't know what the reason was, he was willing to believe Zhao Xueya.

It's not an emotional trust, it's pure judgment-based trust.

What Yanuo trusted was not Zhao Xueya, but Zhao Xueya's brain.

"Since you said so, then, I will do it."

After a short silence, Yano also stood up, and stood with Zhao Xueya.

But to be honest, because of the height of the soldier that Yano was pretending to be at this time, at first glance, Yano was shorter than Zhao Xueya.

Arno was a little uncomfortable with this situation.

If it were the original Yanuo's height, it would be taller than Zhao Xueya.

"However, there is no way."

Yano sighed silently in his heart.

Because of his status, the family background of a soldier of the level that Yano is pretending to be now must not be very good.

Therefore, in terms of nutrition, it must be inferior to the pampered nobles.

Growing up in this situation, it is normal for her to be no taller than Zhao Xueya, a nobleman.

The current identity of Arno is just a part of the shadow of the empire.

The Empire is strong, but—
