Chapter 451: Take Me Away
“But isn’t this really bad?”
Harvey, biting on a catnip cigarette, said, “If all jobs delete our memories, how are we supposed to gather intelligence in the ground city?”
“I can double as a Memory Extractor and recover your deleted memories,” Igor said. “But as the Intelligence indicated, these ‘Work Revelation’ memories are harmful. Many have already tested this for us—the sorcerers who tried to exploit the ‘Work Revelation’ to discover an ‘Infinite Revelation’ loophole were numerous, but the outcome for both them and their test subjects was always soul annihilation and complete decay.”
“Decay?” Harvey frowned. “Their souls aged to death?”
“More or less. Those working memories act like poison, accelerating the soul’s aging process,” Igor said. “However, retrieving memories once or twice occasionally won’t be a problem, as we’re still young. But…”
Ashe was slightly startled and then looked at the pale-faced Banjeet.
Don’t be deceived by Banjeet’s appearance as a youthful, charming boy with blue hair. He was actually over sixty now. Becoming a sorcerer might enhance the soul’s quality, but it does not extend its lifespan—just as having a stronger body won’t stop aging, only fight off disease.
“…Not everyone needs to go scouting,” Banjeet stood up and said. “I can stay in the underground city and wait for you all. On the day of the action, I will join you to infiltrate the Royal Palace. You only need to show the way, and I can provide the strongest support!”
“But we don’t need support,” Igor said calmly. “In the Royal Palace, we can only afford one battle at most—that will be against the Tower guards. Any other fights would mean the mission’s failure. Once an alarm is triggered, the Royal Palace won’t give us any further chances.”
