Imperial General Esdeath, Imperial Minister Ernest.

In the imperial capital, no one does not know these two names and the meaning behind them.

More importantly, this guy dared to be so disrespectful by calling two people, especially the minister, by their first names...!

Is this guy crazy? !

The flow of people nearby suddenly became deserted, and the original arrogance of the patrol team also disappeared instantly, replaced by sweating profusely, bloodless faces, and a look of imminent disaster.

What if the minister blames others and it affects them?

"What's wrong? Is this difficult?"

But Noel didn't seem to notice the change in everyone's expressions, and still asked with a smile on his face.

"No, it's not difficult..."

The captain forced out an ugly smile that was comparable to crying in mourning and replied.

Although he didn't know whether what the guy in front of him said was true, he couldn't pretend that nothing happened to this letter that might involve both an imperial general and a minister.

In other words, whether it is true or false, this matter is no longer something that a small patrol leader like him can handle.

"I will send the letter right away, but before that, please go to the security office and wait for a while."

The captain motioned to others to keep an eye on Noel and "escort" him to the security office. He took the first step and asked his superiors for instructions to deal with this hot potato as soon as possible.

Noel didn't care about this. Under the "escort" of the patrol, he strolled leisurely through the streets of the imperial capital and visited this city that had stood for thousands of years.

As the capital of the empire, there is no doubt that the imperial capital is prosperous. Although many poor people can still be seen on the roadside, it is not insignificant compared to other places. The bustle and prosperity are still the same.

At least it seems so.

As for what those unknown shadow corners look like... Based on what he has seen and heard in the past, Noel probably has some guesses.

This prosperous city at the feet of the Emperor is undoubtedly the center of decay and depravity in the entire empire. No matter how glamorous its appearance is, it cannot conceal its essence of purgatory on earth!

Not long after being "invited" to the security office, Noel received an invitation from the minister. The patrol captain also breathed a sigh of relief, but his eyes towards Noel became curious.

I'm curious, but I don't dare to ask.

After leaving the security office, Noel followed the minister's envoy into the palace, passed through intricate corridors, and came to a magnificent hall.

There was only an old man sitting in the empty hall who was eating meat non-stop. His hair and beard were gray, he was tall and plump, and his clothes were not very gorgeous, even a little simple. Under his gray-white coat, he wore a Dark green military-style uniform.

If the envoy had not introduced him personally, it would be difficult for people to believe that he was the legendary minister Ernest.

"Lord Ernest, the person you want has been brought."

The messenger lowered his head and respectfully reported.

There was a plate full of meat on the table in front of Ernest, and next to it was the letter Noel had taken out before, which had been opened.

After hearing the messenger's report, he continued to eat meat, but his eyes finally looked at Noel, with an expression that was half-smiling and unreadable.

But at this moment, Noel couldn't help but frown slightly.

"Okay, you go down."

After Ernest asked the envoy to step back, he showed a smile and greeted Noel in a "kind" manner:

"Are you Noel? Hahaha, I have admired his name for a long time, but I didn't expect that we would meet in such a place and in such a way."

"Yeah, who would have thought."

Noel also smiled and responded.

"By the way, where are the other two members of [Death Wanderers]? Did they encounter an accident?"

"They don't need it anymore, so I'm the only one here."

"Well, that's really a pity..."

Both parties had smiles on their faces, friendly negotiations, and a harmonious atmosphere.

Under this, Ernest's inner malice toward Noel grew stronger.

This was indeed something he didn't expect.

Ever since Noel and his group invaded his forces, he had ordered and sent out men to exterminate them, but at that time he had not yet taken the [Death Wanderers] seriously.

Unexpectedly, not only was the annihilation unsuccessful, Noel and his gang turned into Esdeath's subordinates, and even dared to come to him and ask him to cancel the reward, and also asked him for the Teigu!

It's disgusting!

And he couldn't ignore Esdeath's request.

After all, he and Esdeath had reached a cooperative relationship very early. He gave Esdeath the power to do whatever he wanted, and Esdeath provided him with unparalleled combat power guarantee.

but

"Speaking of which, I heard that everyone in [Death Wanderers] is very powerful. It just so happens that I have a few incompetent men who like to compete with strong men in martial arts. I wonder if you can reward me?"

Ernest smiled and snapped his fingers, and four figures suddenly appeared in four directions around Noel, faintly surrounding Noel.

"Don't worry, they are not Teigu users, it's just a simple exchange of martial arts."

he added 'kindly'.

[The Four Ghosts of Rakshasa] are four top masters selected from ten thousand in the Imperial Fist Temple. They are the personal executioners of the minister. They can even compete with the Emperor's wielders with their bare hands. They are the pinnacle of strength for non-Temperature holders.

Although Noel didn't know their names, he could sense from what he saw and heard that the four of them were indeed strong men that he rarely encountered.

"No problem at all."

Noel readily agreed. Ernest did not know that this was his original purpose.

Sure enough, when you come to this place, it is easier to get in touch with strong people.

He still stood there casually, not looking at the four people, but still looking at Ernest, and said with a smile:

"One by one? Or together? I don't mind."

"Hahahaha, your Excellency is indeed brave!"

Hearing Noel say this, Ernest's smile became even wider, and then he ordered:

"Since your Excellency has said so, then [Four Rakshasa Ghosts], you all should come together and don't let anyone down too much."

"Yes!" x4

The four of them agreed without hesitation.

They are killers, not fighters. They prioritize completing tasks and never shy away from any method or method.

In addition, they never thought about having a so-called martial arts competition with Noel. The task they received from beginning to end was only one——

Kill Noel!

Ernest sneered in his heart. He knew Esdeath's character and principles very clearly, [Survival of the Fittest]. If Noel died here today, it would only be because Noel was not strong enough, but nothing else.

And even if Esdeath really wanted to take revenge, it would just be a matter of picking one of the [Four Rakshasa Ghosts], and it would have nothing to do with him.

It's just one person, he can afford to lose.

"Fistes and feet have no eyes, sir, please be careful."

"Then let's begin."

The battle began. In an instant, four figures made moves at the same time. At the same time, Noel also moved.

The four people's attacks were completely in vain, and Noel disappeared from the spot at some point, which shocked the four people.

At this time, Noel's voice suddenly came from behind someone:

"Yes, fists and feet have no eyes, and swords have no eyes, so be careful."

"what?!"

puff--

The sword flashed, blood flowers bloomed, and a man fell slowly. The smile on Noel's face remained, but the unsheathed blade was stained with blood, which made people shudder.

Of the four Rakshasa ghosts, there are only three left.
