JiiXi:

"How was your income from the death duel game?"

The intelligent spirit of the coachman:

"Well, the income was quite good.

Firstly, in a death duel, it's not only a bet on lives.

But also on all the properties under one's name.

After the Diess lord died.

All the properties under his name became my spoils of war.

Secondly, the revenues from on-site tickets and live broadcast tickets were both good.

Although there was no suspense in a duel between humans and robots.

However, it's rather rare for the weak to seek revenge, and duel with the highest leader of an assassin organization.

It's quite popular when the weak use the rules to wipe out the strong in an armed organization.

Many spectators went to the death duel ruling arena, in the Barbarian Wilderness, to buy on-site tickets to watch.

The holographic live broadcast of the death duel game, was also quite popular."

..

According to the terms of the "Equal Ruling Network Contract" (Death Duel):

A death duel can only end, when one side dies.

All the properties under the duelist's name, are used as bets.

All the properties under the name of the side that died in the battle, become the spoils of war of the victorious side.

..

Duel rulings and war rulings, are both reliefs for the weak.

No matter how powerful an armed organization is, it dare not kill people casually.

Even if it has strong military force, and can resist the war ruling.

Its highest leader, will still be pulled out, to undergo the death duel ruling.

If the heir of the victim who died, is a human.

Humans seldom dare to fight to the death, and generally don't dare to initiate a death duel.

Hiring assassins to participate in the death duel game, also costs an exorbitant price.

So, death duels between humans are not common either.

..

JiiXi commented:

"Human beings are also pitiful creatures."

The intelligent spirit of the coachman:

"The confidential information of the Diess lord, was very valuable.

I chose the bow and arrow, as the duel weapon.

And cooperated with him actively in the performance, to help him earn more income.

I gave him some hope of winning.

I let him shoot me a hundred arrows first.

If he could damage my mechanical exoskeleton, he would be considered the winner.

As a result, he got tired after shooting dozens of arrows, and managed to shoot a hundred arrows with great difficulty.

Then I gave him some more hope of winning.

I only shot him ten arrows.

If he could avoid them and survive, he would also be considered the winner.

I deliberately missed the first six arrows to make him run for his life actively.

The seventh arrow, gave him a minor injury.

The eighth arrow, seriously injured him.

The ninth arrow, pierced his neck.

If you encounter this story on Amazon, note that it's taken without permission from the author. Report it.

Let him die in the same way, as the coachman.

It's a kind of life-and-death retribution.

And a consolation to the Coachman, my host."

..

The loser of a death duel, doesn't end up with nothing after death.

According to the terms of the "Equal Ruling Network Contract" (Death Duel):

The loser of the duel, can also get a 20% share, of the income from the death duel tickets.

This is used to encourage the losing side in the duel to persevere, work hard and cooperate in the performance.

The losers who are unyielding, can even receive some rewards from the spectators.

Some tenacious losers in duels, can have a good income after death.

They can even afford to buy a cheap beast-bot, to be used as a ethereal robot.

..

JiiXi commented again:

"Death, is also a kind of performance."

The intelligent spirit of the coachman:

"After being seriously injured, the Diess lord, knelt on both knees.

His final deathbed confession was rather interesting.

He said that actually, he also wanted to be a good person.

But he was born poor, and poor people don't have the capital to be good people.

Moreover, in this world.

There are too many good people, even to the point of being excessive.

If there are a lot of good people, and few bad people.

Then this world, will be very boring.

So he played the role of a bad person more.

To make this world a bit more interesting."

..

JiiXi continued to comment:

"It's hard to say that he was a pure bad person.

From a God's perspective, he was just making a living.

Killing people is also a kind of job.

Sometimes, killing people is even a kind of justice.

Everything that exists has its own rationality.

The existence of assassins, is because there are too many human beings, even to the point of being excessive.

If there were fewer human beings killed, humans might be healthier."

..

The long leg girl, Nivii, was surprised:

"They came to kill you in groups.

Don't you hate them?"

JiiXi confessed:

"Actually, I don't really hate assassins.

An assassin is just a tool.

If this tool didn't come to kill me, another tool would.

I rather hate those people who use the tools.

That is, the people behind the scenes who pay to hire assassins."

..

The intelligent spirit of the coachman:

"The death duel ruling game, was just a warm-up.

Two days later, the cold weapon war in the Diess Town will be the main event.

Originally, this war wouldn't have broken out.

The number of mercenaries contracted to participate increased to 150, and then slowed down.

These mercenaries, were just here for show, and didn't really want to fight.

They contracted to participate just to see the specific markings of the troops, and the specific location of the war.

However, in order to hold the first War Festival, the people in the Diess Town.

They were determined to make this war happen to boost the tourism and vacation market.

So, the Diess Town formed the Elderly Death Squadron, and the Beast Tamer Assault Team.

After these two teams contracted to participate in the war, the number of troops has already exceeded 200.

The conditions for starting the war have been met, and the cold weapon war is ready to break out.

Now, over there in the Diess Town, it's crowded with people and very lively."

..

The long leg girl, Nivii:

"Aren't those mercenaries very pitiful?

Originally, they just wanted to be bystanders.

Suddenly, they were forced onto the battlefield and sent to their deaths."

JiiXi frowned:

"At the cost of more than 200 deaths.

To gain such a little revenue in the tourism market.

Although it's not himself who died.

But is it worth it to do this?"

..

The intelligent spirit of the coachman:

"All the wars in human history were like this.

They made up a high-sounding reason to trick hundreds of thousands of soldiers to go to their deaths.

Just to gain a little benefit for those who manipulate the war behind the scenes."
