Chapter 376 Hans' Story
"shadow?"
Tina tilted her head, looking confused.
"Yes, I am the shadow. Da Yan is a huge country. There are always places where the sun doesn't shine. My mission is to solve these darkness for Da Yan in the dark places."
Hans said with a sad look on his face.
"What's that? I don't understand! I want to hear your story, uncle!"
Tina shook her head, indicating that her little head couldn't understand at all.
Hans saw this scene and realized that he had been too euphemistic...
Looking at Tina who was circling around him, Hans finally gave in.
“My name is Hans, I’m only 27 years old, so don’t call me uncle.
I am from the Violet Principality of the Holy Empire..."
Listening to Hans telling his story, Tina stopped and listened quietly.
"When I was ten years old, my parents couldn't afford to raise three children, so they sold me to slave traders. The Imperial Army raided the traffickers' hideout and rescued me.
But I had no idea where to go, as I had no home. The Imperial Army officers also learned of my situation and told me that if I had nowhere else to go, I might as well try my luck in the Territory of Sin.
At least there, there aren't as many rules and regulations as on the Empire side.
Finally I went, and I came to the Territory of Sin, because a ten-year-old child could not survive anywhere, but I miraculously survived in the Territory of Sin.
Because I just arrived, I happened to see the church recruiting cleaners.
The church nun who couldn't bear it gave me a chance.
When I was ten years old, I got up early and went to bed late every day just to get a chance to stay in the church.
But after working there for three years, I was finally fired.
Because the old nun who took me in had passed away, the thirteen-year-old me had to find other ways to make a living.
At this time, the Holy Empire was fighting with the Orc Empire for the northern grasslands.
A large number of military supply orders were monopolized by the Sin Leader, so I became a blacksmith and worked as a blacksmith for three years.
But with the empire's disastrous defeat in the northern grasslands, the once powerful empire has turned into nothing.
It took Alexander the Great twenty years to restore the empire to two-thirds of its peak size.
But Edward III squandered it all in five years...
With the defeat of the empire, I am once again out of work..."
When Hans said this, he couldn't help but recall his past, those difficult days.
Tina on the side listened attentively. Hans looked at Tina with a serious face and couldn't help but touched Tina's head, and then continued to speak.
“At 16, I didn’t know what to do until I met a noblewoman.
She is a noble of the empire, and came to the Territory of Sin on the orders of her family to take over a mission.
She was so beautiful, and I was 16 years old, which was the age of impulse. When we met by chance, she saw what I was thinking, and then asked me a question that stumped me. "
Tina couldn't help but speak.
"What did she say?"
"What do you have? Kid, you can't even make me look at you right now."
Hans said and smiled bitterly.
Tina on the side didn't know what to say, so Hans continued speaking without pausing.
"Her words suddenly sobered me up from my confusion and I decided to do something.
I used the salary I earned from working as a blacksmith for three years to pay for one year of study.
Actually, I want to continue studying, but I have no money...
But within a year I learned to read, and understood the mainland’s layout, and most importantly, I fell in love with reading.”
Hans glanced at Tina after he finished speaking, then spoke.
“But I had no money, so I had to give up my studies and had to go out to work. I found a bookstore that provided food and accommodation but didn’t require any salary.
I stayed in the bookstore for eight years, and during those eight years, I read all the books in the store.
Mainland history, cultures of various countries, dialects of various countries, character psychology...
These can be read and memorized.”
Hans said this, touched Tina's head, and spoke earnestly.
"When I get back, I will send you to school. The fastest way to change poor people like us is to study."
Tina nodded, not quite understanding.
"Eight years later, I met the noble man of my life, or maybe the goddess of fate finally showed me favor.
I met the leader Leon, yes, the Leon you mentioned.
When Leader Leon first arrived in the Territory of Sin, his situation wasn't much better than mine, but he had the two most important things: knowledge and his status as a duke.
The latter provided the greatest help to Lyon. The Duke's status was of great help to Lyon in issuing decrees in the early stage.
I also joined Da Yan at that time. At that time, Da Yan was not yet called Da Yan, and there were not as many people as there are now..."
As Hans spoke, he recalled the past.
Tina was a little confused.
What duke? What knowledge? Cheese? Is it edible cheese?
Fortunately, Hans didn’t know what Tina was thinking, otherwise he would definitely have hit Tina’s head hard.
What does this little girl think about every day?
How come all you do is eat and play?
Hans continued.
"At that time, Leon was just a weak and helpless young man who had just turned 18, and it seemed that anyone could step on him.
However, the facts have proved that anyone can step on him. In the days when he first arrived in the Sin Territory, almost all forces came to step on Leon, but Leon greeted them with a smile. Guess where those people are now? "
Hans suddenly smiled mysteriously.
Tina said curiously.
"They are no longer in this world. They have all received the punishment they deserved and have been reduced to ashes..."
Tina was a little scared after hearing this, but she didn't let Hans stop. This tense and exciting feeling made Tina more and more curious.
“And Leon recruited some of them from the beginning, but I was among them, and I was appointed head of the Intelligence Bureau.
At first I thought it would be a very easy and simple job.
But soon, I found that this job was not easy.
The Intelligence Bureau not only has to collect intelligence, but also has to deal with many enemies.
Yes, there are many, many enemies..."
Hans paused slightly and looked at Tina.
"A lot of enemies? How many?"
Tina asked, somewhat confused.
"I remember signing orders for no less than 50,000 people. In fact, the Intelligence Bureau has eliminated more than 100,000 enemies...
And among these 100,000 people, not all of them are guilty. They may also be the family members of guilty people. So I am a demon. Are you still willing to follow me?"
Hans said this and looked at Tina.
Tina froze in place.
She heard a number.
One hundred thousand people!
That’s right, the Intelligence Bureau has killed thousands of nobles in two years, and almost every noble has a family. The blood on the hands of the Intelligence Bureau is too much to count...
