Elf Archer of Life in Another World

Tristan's guess was correct.

What Russo brought with him in his strange-looking mechanical goblin was none other than the Ruby Archduke's family of seven:

Parents, wife, three daughters and a newborn son.

These are all used as bargaining chips to blackmail Grand Duke Ruby.

Unfortunately, Tristan still underestimated Paiso's cruelty and shamelessness.

The clumsy mechanical monster climbed up the golden stairs covered with red waves, rumbled to the door of the auditorium, put the hostage in the claws on the ground and pushed it, allowing other members of the mercenary group to place their knives and axes on the family.

on the neck.

Grand Duke Ruby's family was very calm. Except for the baby, the remaining three girls did not cry or make noises during the whole journey. They did not seem to see the sharp knife around their necks at this moment. They stood there and slowly arranged the folds on their skirts.

, straightened the family crest on his chest.

The wife of Grand Duke Ruby is not very beautiful. Any of the noble ladies lying in the auditorium now have more beautiful faces than hers, but none of them are as calm and dignified as hers.

She walked to the mechanical goblin, calmly snatched her youngest son from a mercenary, held her in her arms, lowered her head and softly comforted her lovingly, and soon she stopped crying at the top of her lungs.

Grand Duke Ruby was still sitting on the throne. Seeing this scene, he smiled lightly.

"As expected, they are the noble Ruby family. This generous sacrifice is really admirable."

Paiso applauded exaggeratedly, shook his head and stood up.

"But, if you are the only one left in the end, will your persistence be meaningful now?" Paiso asked worriedly.

Ruby Grand Duke smiled sarcastically:

"I don't think people like you understand the meaning of family honor and dignity."

"Ah," Paiso suddenly realized, "Dignity, honor, I understand, I understand."

Just looking at the family statues outside the Ruby Palace, you can tell how much the Ruby Grand Duke family values ​​honor.

The Ruby Archduke's eyes darkened, he tightened his cane, and the crimson arc-shaped light blade flew out like lightning, striking directly at his parents, wife, and children.

Paiso seemed to have been prepared. The members of the mercenary group ducked and lined up neatly, either holding shields or waving giant axes and heavy swords to block the red light.

Looking at the few members who were shaken out of a mouthful of blood, Paiso nodded with satisfaction, and looked at the Ruby Archduke with a look that was even more pitiful than his own:

"Did you never expect that the Grand Duke would be so ruthless that he would kill his entire family?"

Grand Duke Ruby's hand squeezed the cane tightly again, blue veins popped out, and his knuckles turned white.

"But don't worry, I won't be so cruel."

Paiso turned around, patted one of the little girls on the head with pity, poked a finger on the family crest on her chest, and smiled gently:

"This thing is very important and cannot be tarnished casually."

Before he finished speaking, he smiled slightly and waved his hand gently:

"Bring it here."

Tristan hid beside the door frame, looked around, and found that the big iron-like mechanical goblin beside him seemed to be moving. Through the gaps between its four mechanical claws hanging on the ground, there were five or six ragged dwarves.

They were being pushed here like cattle and sheep.

Tear--

Tristan quickly turned his head to look, then his pupils shrank and he looked away awkwardly.

"Your family's crest seems quite complicated."

Paiso held the ornamental badge in his hand and scratched the skin of the girl in front of him with his fingertips. He never really touched it, but it also caused a tremor that was visible to the naked eye.

The eldest daughter of Grand Duke Ruby was being set up by two dwarf warriors, one on the left and one on the right. The clothes on her back were torn open, and her white skin was like a piece of pure white drawing paper.

The painting method of this noble family's crest was too complicated. Paiso sighed and gave up his patience to try. He took out the dagger from his boot and stabbed it randomly on the drawing paper. At least he painted the important symbol of the Ruby family.

come out.

"Not bad," Paiso looked at the bloody painting in front of him with satisfaction, then looked at the next piece of paper, "Practice makes perfect, maybe it will be perfect by the seventh painting."

The eldest daughter, who was biting her lip and trembling all over, suddenly broke free from the restraint, turned around and rushed towards Paiso, trying to snatch the dagger from his hand.

Paiso raised his foot and kicked the delicate noble lady away, falling into the arms of the six dwarfs dressed as poor people who had just entered the auditorium.

"I've rewarded you. Remember to turn her over and play with her from behind. Don't waste the family honor she carries."

Paiso winked at the captured miners and walked towards the next noble lady holding a dagger.

NPCs in the game are definitely a vulnerable group for players with powerful abilities, and since there is a lack of legal constraints in modern civilized society, it is easy for various vicious events that induce the ugliness of human nature to occur.

Intimacy between players requires the consent of both parties, and the same is true between players and NPCs. Forcible violence will lead to "natural punishment."

In short, players can beat, scold, injure, and kill NPCs. They can even engage in slave trading and torture without violating the game's background settings, but they cannot humiliate them.

Generally speaking, players will not have such thoughts towards NPCs. After all, we are all civilized people, and the laws of all races and countries in the game are still valid. Officials, prisons, wanted orders and criminal announcements are all restrictive means.

In addition to the natural punishment for attempted crimes, portraits, names, races, specific crimes and affiliations will be disclosed in the mercenary union and various taverns and hotels. The lethality of this measure can be said to be extremely powerful. There were still people earlier in the game.

He tried the method by himself, but gradually became less and less.

Less does not mean there is none. There are always some people with different personalities and they can always find some loopholes to take advantage of.

For example, Paiso's method only hurts but does not touch.

He didn't even take a look at the frontal skin of this aristocratic lady. He just concentrated on creating on her back. The wounds were not deep. Even if it was a real judicial judgment, it was only a minor injury.

The dwarf miners who were in a daze were not under his control, and whatever they did or did not do had nothing to do with him.

If you do something, it will naturally be governed by the laws of the dwarves. If you don't do anything...

"Speaking of which, you miners are pitiful. You have worked for the Ruby family for generations. You don't have enough food or sleep. Now that the resources are in crisis, you have to be locked up in the mine and starve to death."

Paiso sighed, wiped the blood-stained dagger on the skirt of the Ruby Archduke's second daughter, and looked at the freshly painted blood-colored decoration for a while.

"However, the Grand Duke also has a considerate side. He is afraid that you will be too stressed and has nowhere to vent, and he is afraid that you will have no entertainment activities, so he has gathered many women and put them in the cloak alley for everyone's entertainment."

"Well, by the way," Paiso used a dagger to cut open the fabric of his little daughter's back. "It just so happens that we can recover part of the wages paid to you and recycle them."

"When children are born in Clothes Alley, the men are raised as workers, and the women are raised as entertainment. Anyway, they only need to be raised until they are ten years old. Put it this way..."

Paiso tilted his head, looked at the miners, glanced across their clenched fists, and said with a smile:

"Maybe you guys have hugged your own daughters or mothers?"

"Oh, great mother's love, great father's love~"

Paiso sighed quietly, raised his foot, and kicked the little girl in front of him, who was no more than ten years old, into the arms of the miners. He turned to look at the wife of the Ruby Archduke with a gentle smile:

"Heartache?"

Behind him, there was the sound of clothes being torn, and muffled cries.

"Comrades, don't forget to show your noble badge and show it to Grand Duke Ruby. What an honor it is."

Paiso tilted his head slightly and shouted loudly.

The muffled sound of flesh hitting the ground was heard, and the members of the mercenary group present turned their backs in unison, winking at each other with some blushing faces, and secretly looking at the Ruby Archduke whose eyes were splitting.

Angry red light filled the auditorium, and was blocked by the mercenaries. The mechanical goblin pulling the rope had already come in, with two thick pincers opened, holding up a magic light shield, which just protected him.

Big Brother Paiso.

"Next," Paiso walked around the Grand Duchess and stopped in front of the two old people, "I hope you two will not be stingy and give our lovely miner brothers more maternal and paternal love."

The two old men smiled contemptuously. The old lady raised her hand gracefully, took out two brooches from the side of the triangle bra, and handed one to her husband.

The sharp tip of the pin made two deep bloody marks on the necks of the two old men.

Seeing the old couple lying on the ground exhausted and unwilling to rest in peace, Paisuo stood in awe:

"It's amazing. I didn't expect the two of them to do this for the sake of family honor."

Facing the last light in their eyes, he bowed and said respectfully:

"Don't worry, you two. Once you two die, I will help you take off your clothes, wrap your two holy bodies in the noble ruby ​​family flag, and send them outside the city for everyone to watch and worship."

The lives and deaths of Grand Duke Ruby's family were not important in the first place. He never intended to use the lives of these people to threaten him, but to use the family honor represented by these people as a bargaining chip.

Those who are alive may still have a chance to make a comeback and wash away their humiliation, but those who are dead can only be at the mercy of others and can no longer be rehabilitated.

The choice of these two old guys was exactly what Paisuo wanted.

"Stop it..."

The Ruby Archduke fell back slumped, slumped in the throne, like a gradually drying up balloon. The extremely luxurious cane slipped from his fingertips and fell to the ground with a clang.

Paiso immediately raised his right hand, and the mechanical goblin waved its claws to hold down the dwarf miners who were abusing them.

"It would have been better if it had been like this," Paiso secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He was really afraid that this person would rather die than surrender. "You should know what I want."

"Know."

Grand Duke Ruby's eyes fell on the cane on the ground, he raised his head and revealed a gentle sneer:

"If this were not the case, I would have been killed by you."

It was obvious that Paiso only knew that the cane in his hand was important and that there was another secret, but he didn't know what it was, so he did the scene just now and forced him to submit.

"Then I hope you can cooperate."

Paiso approached the throne step by step and looked at the expressionless Grand Duke warily.

"I have conditions." Ruby said openly.

"No problem." Paiso agreed readily.

"I want your life."

Paiso's smiling face made the Grand Duke very dissatisfied, but there was nothing he could do about it.

"no problem."

Paiso's smile remained unchanged and he didn't take this matter to heart at all. His greedy eyes only stared at the ruby ​​cane that was getting closer and closer.

Grand Duke Ruby moved her lips, and after a while, she closed her eyes:

"The secret you want to know is--"

boom--!

Paiso hurriedly protected his head and face, but his forehead was smashed by the suddenly exploded stone fragments. When he raised his hand and touched it, his hand was covered with smooth and warm blood.

"what do you--"

Behind him came the roar of the brothers in the mercenary group, which suddenly stopped the next moment and turned into a clanging sound of metal, stone and iron.

Paiso raised his head and only caught a cluster of arrow shadows disappearing in the corner of his eye. His eyes were already firmly attracted by the scene in front of him.

The Ruby Archduke's throne had been blown to pieces, revealing a shabby secret door. Through the gap in the secret door, one could see what seemed to be a room full of gears and mechanisms underneath.

Next to the throne, the ruby ​​​​Justice was lowered from the air. He was stunned and looked at the uninvited guest in front of him.

——He was really an uninvited guest that he had kicked out.

"Although I think none of you are good people," Nian Nian grabbed the cane, looked at it, and threw it to him, "it would be more fun to save you."

"what are you up to?"

Two voices sounded at the same time. Nian Nian looked at Paisuo and then at Ruby Grand Duke, and said uncertainly:

"Preserve justice and peace?"
