Blue Sword

"It's not a matter of weakness." Quintus said with a wry smile, "Give them a suitable venue, and a mage can be as good as a heavy weapons company."

"The problem is that there is no way to prepare in advance for assassinations. In an emergency, mages cannot be the opponent of assassins."

"The Spartans can help defend." Rudasius said.

"With the help of the Weapon Master, I think these mages can calm down a bit." Quintus sighed, "Currently, more than 30 mage towers have been declared closed, and the Mage Federation has put a lot of political pressure on my father. .”

"We Spartans alone are not enough." Rudasius said, "We must recruit more mercenaries."

"Mercenaries are a source of instability." Quintus looked embarrassed, "Not all mercenaries can value honor and discipline like the Spartans."

"The Spartans are not pure bloodists. The era of closed city-states has passed." Rudasius replied, "I used to be a Cypriot mercenary until I came to the Spartan city-state."

"We hope to hold a martial arts competition to select the most powerful warriors among the mercenaries to join the troops defending the city."

"We will use the iron-blooded discipline of the Spartans to restrain them and build them into Spartan warriors who can rival the Latins."

"But this is to defend Olympia after all."

"I understand, regarding the funding, I need to discuss this matter with my father." Quintus nodded and said, "Please rest in the military camp in the city first."

Rudasius nodded coldly and took everyone on the subway.

Quintus watched the Spartans go away, and his eyes suddenly stopped on a certain petite figure.

Hey, this guy... His heart was slightly touched, and the subway started to move, carrying everyone and disappearing from his sight.

It's probably an illusion.

————————

Because it's built inside trees, Olin City's subway is vertical.

Perhaps it would be more appropriate to call it a high-speed elevator.

The entire Olin City is divided into 106 floors, connected by more than 30 elevators. Some elevators only stop on odd floors, some only stop on the bottom 10 floors, etc. It is as complex as a network.

The elevator that Ludasius and others took was a special elevator for the military, leading directly to the 80th floor.

Although Olin City is very profitable and prosperous from the trade of extraordinary materials, the living conditions in the military camp still maintain the simple and simple style of the Siris people.

The Spartans were assigned a large room with a bunk bed and slept together with the Olin City guards.

Everyone in the Cang Qing Sword Mercenary Group was lucky enough to get an extra single room, which was originally the bedroom of the officers.

Thanks to the frequent assassinations in the city, the Olin City military camp was also attacked several times, so much so that the noble officers hid at home to sleep.

This bedroom is not large and can only accommodate four beds, but it is no problem for everyone who has a fire island.

Mia pressed her hands on the floor-to-ceiling windows, looked at the sea of ​​clouds and the earth below, and praised:

"Ask, come and see how high we have to be here!"

"Be careful if the window is not strong and it falls down." Ask joked.

Mia was so frightened that she quickly moved away from the floor-to-ceiling window.

"Asker." Someone was tugging on his sleeve.

Ask turned around and saw that it was little Princess Sheila.

"I want to chat with you privately for a while." Sheila said.

"What's wrong?" Ask asked curiously, thinking of the recent events, "Did you accidentally learn a new extraordinary swordsmanship? Or did you suddenly discover that you have schizophrenia?"

Sheila:? ? ?

"No." Silla seemed a little embarrassed to say it, "It's a matter of my family."

The two teleported to Hearth Island and found a secluded place.

"Say it." Ask said.

"The lord of Olympia is the imperial noble Appirios." Sheila took off her mask, revealing her perfect face, her expression seemed a little embarrassed.

"He's my grandfather."

Ask pondered.

"So the noble officer named Quintus just now..."

"It's my uncle." Sheila sighed. "He comes to Constantinople every few years to visit Zoe and me."

"Then what are your plans?" Ask asked easily, "Do your relatives recognize each other?"

"No." Sheila shook her head and said, "Once my identity is exposed, they will definitely send me to Athens for protection. It is impossible to allow me to stay on the front line."

"The city of Olympia has a special status in the empire and even the province of Cyrus. The formula for Wisdom Sequence recipes, spiritual materials, and knowledge can all be found in Olympia.”

"This is a city of mages. It is the holy place and cornerstone of the empire's supernatural world, just like the church is to the scientific world."

"I have betrayed the trust of Constantinople. I am no longer the emperor, but I at least hope to save Olympia and prevent this imperial pearl from falling into the hands of the Western Crusaders."

"Hmm." Ask thought for a moment, "Olympia should be fine."

"If the Seljuks come to attack, there may be a possibility of the city falling. But this time the opponent is the Latin Empire."

"The Latin Empire faces the threat of the Seljuks from Asia Minor, and it is impossible to attack Olympia with all its strength. As long as they pay a sufficient price, they will naturally retreat and turn to plunder other places."

"The Seljuks also saw this, so they frequently sent Ilanian assassins to cause trouble in the city. The purpose was to make the Latin Empire think there was an opportunity to take advantage of it, so that both sides would suffer in the siege battle with Siris."

"That's it." Silla breathed a sigh of relief obviously.

She actually felt that there might be no problem in Olin City, otherwise it would be impossible for a shrewd and slippery guy like Asker to lead the team to Olin City.

At this time, she got the exact answer from Aske, which made her feel relieved.

"Well..." Sheila thought for a while and then said, "I want to buy spiritual materials for 'Meteorite I'. Can you accompany me?"

"Of course." Ask said, "Call Nora and we will purchase all the things that need to be purchased in the group."

So the two returned to reality, called Nora, and the three of them took the elevator and left the military camp together.

The 60th floor of Olin City, with a floor height of 20 meters, is the famous "Extraordinary Market". All kinds of spiritual materials are openly sold here, at various street stalls, shops, and auctions.

Almost all Sequence I recipes can be found here, and there are also quite a few Sequence II recipes. As Sheila said, as the world's only "extraordinary cargo distribution center", Olympia's status cannot be compared with other cities.

It naturally attracts extraordinary people and resources from the entire empire, and then amplifies them through the cluster effect.

Through the commodity circulation link, various formulas and resources are circulated to the hands of extraordinary people in the corresponding sequence, which is equivalent to an upgrade accelerator for the entire empire's extraordinary world.

In previous games, it was also a trading paradise for RMB bosses and studios.

In the original game world, Asker wouldn't believe that the game officials would let Olin City fall - otherwise the RMB bosses wouldn't have blown it up on the spot.

But in this other world, everything is possible.

While he was thinking this, he suddenly noticed a figure in front of him.

The way that guy walks is a bit weird.
