>What if he's using you to dispose of me?
>WHAT!? [They] wouldn't dare!
Umm… What? The angel's complete shock at this statement makes me doubt the translation, or what it might be the author thinks loyalty even is.
Yes Ms. Angel, soldiers are "used" to eliminate threats.
What am I even reading?
Relative melting point? At what pressure?
Anyways, it's pretty absurd that an assassin would ever need to memorize any of the numbers associated with the elements, but I guess if we just say he has super-human memory, it doesn't matter. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
This is just one of the problems with a monarchy. Succession can go smoothly for hundreds of years, and then suddenly you have a bad heir who's about ready to start a civil war if things don't go well. If they pick the 2nd Prince, and there's still enough support for the 1st prince, such as by...
@InfernalDrake117 Yeah, I don't remember that either, but I guess it kinda makes sense? Just cutting into a wound won't really stop the venom if it's already in the bloodstream, so cutting off the whole arm might be better… Except that amputation isn't the best idea in any situation. Good thing...
@MarqFJA87 I mean, naming your child after qualities they possess is normal, but Shironeko? It's less like "Raven" or "Rose", and more like "Blondehuman" or "Redmonkey".
@sjmcc13 Except that's not true. We can automate a lot of things, but they tend to be pretty shit and unreliable, so we stick with the manual mode until the automation side can catch up. Calculators have been around in one way or another for eons; now they're just digital and faster, but real...
@Totalhypocrite
The difference is that when automation takes over manual tasks, it's because the result is better. The worldbuilding is basically saying we forgot how to fight, because instead of using skilled swordsmanship, we've switched to guns and missiles that don't require much skill to...
Yeah, the idea doctors would give up manual magic in favor of toys because they're "easier" (despite being less effective) is complete nonsense. You might be able to reason why combat-related magic has fallen, but the only stuff like medical technology would be lost is if a massive amount of...
@manhunt0r What's hard is making racist characters that aren't uncomfortable. Non-racists don't want to sympathize with racists, so the usual solution is to make them cartoonishly evil in their racism without any redeeming qualities (unless it turns out that it was a misunderstanding all along!)...
@whynotsa Rome was in constant war, and was falling apart by then due to reasons very much NOT "too much peace". They'd lost the discipline and knowledge of earlier times due to incompetence and mismanagement, not due to having no enemies to fight (if anything, Rome had too many enemies to fight)
The "and then they became weaker in times of peace" trope is complete bullshit. Unless you're talking about an isolated people, there'll always be reason to continue advancing. Peace time is just preparation for the next war.
In any case, looks like I was partly right; the amber eyed people's...
People are calling the guard stupid, but I call the author stupid for putting that sort of person in that position.
Just imagine, she cuts down the kid, and the two move on to the Baron's, where they find out they just murdered their client.
No, that whole scene was just there to make the MC...
@D-mann9000 He asked for one, from that dwarf he saved, IIRC. It's also made of mythril, and blunt weapons are pretty effective against armor anyways, so it's not that bad an idea.
>Royal family is cursed by the spirits
>A lineage unable to use magic
>The most important family
Uhh, why haven't the nobility just revolted and put someone else in charge? Shit, the peasantry would do the same, given how Kings and the like used the name of the gods and spirits to legitimize...
