Blue Sword

The small talk with Quintus didn't last long.

Asik was keenly aware that although the other party said "no doubt", there seemed to be some temptation in his subconscious mind.

After all, it was his father, not himself, who made the judgment that "Cang Qing Sword could not be a traitor."

In addition, Quintus also showed great interest in the violent explosion that occurred in the center of the town, but for some reason he did not ask questions.

Since the other party didn't ask, Asker was naturally happy to play dumb and pretend not to notice the other party's curiosity.

So after some polite testing, Quintus said goodbye to Aske on the pretext of "going back to host the cocktail party."

Ask watched him leave the balcony, thinking of what happened before.

That was after he killed the assassin in white and woke up in Hood's room. Then the Quintus officer led a group of people in to thank him for saving Olin City.

In fact, according to Rasul, the Ilanian assassins and the city lord behind Quintus are actually on the same team.

In other words, he actually ruined their plan at that time? So they started investigating their own team?

After he agreed to become an honorary member of the Ilanian Assassin Organization, Rasul should have stopped providing information in this area, so Quintus, the city lord's force, came out to interview him personally.

As for the theory that the Cangqing Sword is harmless, it may not be just based on a surname as Quintus said. It's hard to say that Rasul came forward to guarantee it.

All kinds of guesses, inferences and clues were going around in his mind, and Asik's peripheral vision caught a glimpse of a petite figure standing on the edge of the crowd inside.

It's Sheila wearing a mask.

"What did he say to you?" Sheila quietly walked to the edge of the balcony and said in a low voice.

"I am very interested in our strength." Asik replied.

"That's all?" Silla was a little shocked, but also seemed to be relieved.

"The Medea incident was an accident." Ask said lightly. "She showed extraordinary strength in the war, which increased our official exposure. As the son of the city lord, he came over to test and confirm in person. It’s a natural thing.”

"I had a nightmare yesterday." Sheila covered her forehead in pain and said with a frown, "I dreamed that my grandfather asked me fiercely why I abandoned my responsibilities and chose to be a wandering mercenary. "

"So I just saw him talking to you and thought he had discovered..."

As she spoke, she gradually fell silent: "Maybe I'm just too nervous. I need to drink some wine."

"I'll go back with you." Ask said.

————————

After the banquet, the drunken mages said goodbye to each other and left the palace, while Sparta and the mercenaries almost all got drunk on the spot and began to fall asleep.

The girls of the Cyan Sword were in between. Hilda Lifa and Mia were already drunk and wanted to act drunk on the spot, but Nora gave them a blow and knocked them down. Lenore and Peggy walked back with support.

Medea also drank a lot of wine, with a beautiful blush on her face, but she did not lose her mind. Before leaving, she stuffed several unopened bottles of red wine on the table into her clothes.

When we returned to the military camp, it was probably already 11 o'clock at night. Abandoned by everyone, Hood was sleeping soundly on the bunk outside. The floor was littered with all kinds of weird mechanical parts, all useless gadgets he tinkered with.

The girls walked into the room, intending to teleport back to Fire Island.

"Medea." Ask stopped her, "You are guarding outside today."

"Ah?" Medea asked dazedly, "Is it my turn?"

"Yes." Aske said.

So Medea found a bed, grabbed a book and fell asleep.

Asker took Nora and teleported back to Hearthfire Island.

The mountains of Hearth Island are shrouded in night, and they are surrounded by the sea that constantly laps at the island. The girls slept in the wooden house, and Asik and Nora quietly walked down the mountain and found a secluded grove with a lake.

"Right here?" Nora asked.

"Yes." Ask said calmly, "Would you like to try the sound first?"

Nora was a little embarrassed, grabbed the corner of her clothes nervously, and sang carefully:

"I was walking alone on a small road in the countryside~I brought the cakes to grandma to try~"

This song "Little Red Riding Hood" was well-known in China in its previous life. The original foreign version seems to have come from Brazil and was transplanted into the game by the game production team. When Nora sang it from her mouth, Asik suddenly felt homesick and cowardly.

The angel's spirit body emerged from the surrounding air, slowly descending following Nora's young and clear singing voice, and collectively hummed along with the melody:

"When the sun goes down~when the stars light up~everything in the world cannot escape eternal sleep and death~"

Although it was the same melody, the lyrics were completely different. Nora deliberately wanted to correct them, but these angel spirits sang louder and louder, and eventually the singing resounded over the entire Hearth Island.

Angel's Song, the probability of spiritual loss of control is reduced by 60%.

Under the buff of Angel's Song, Asker took out a bottle of potion, which was the "Block I" of the gladiatorial sequence.

He will be promoted to Level 5 tonight.

After drinking the magic potion, his body almost immediately showed signs of losing control, and was then forcibly suppressed by the angel's singing.

His arms began to thicken, and his blood pressure rose to almost three times the normal value, so that the muscle fibers in both arms began to ooze blood, and the surface of his skin radiated scalding heat.

The shoulder blades began to twist and deform, and all the bones in the body were screaming, roaring, and making overwhelming pleading sounds.

The heartbeat was beating rapidly in the chest, as if it would explode in the next second. His eardrums also began to vibrate, accompanied by strong dizziness and loss of consciousness, which made him almost pass out.

Nora's hand gently placed on his back, and the extraordinary power was soothing his fluctuating spirituality.

It was like a small boat bumping in the storm and huge waves. At the critical moment, a heavy anchor was dropped to the bottom of the sea, and it escaped the fate of almost capsizing.

This dangerous situation of almost losing control and forcibly guarding one's spirituality lasted for nearly half an hour before gradually calming down.

Asik, who was almost exhausted, managed to stand up. After regaining some strength, he nodded towards Nora:

"That's it."

He has initially digested "Block I", and a lot of knowledge about defense, collision and force relief has entered his mind.

Today, Asker has "Perfect Physique X", "Sharp Weapon I", "Blunt Weapon I", "Dodge I" and "Block I" at the same time.

In terms of physical fitness, he has finally reached the entry threshold for the Nine Star Styles.

As the Nine Star Styles of extraordinary swordsmanship, the first three levels of swordsmanship are sharpening, breaking weight and grazing.

In addition to the proficiency of the swordsmanship itself, there are also strict requirements for the user's own potion sequence.

The function of Zhe Rui is to increase the hit rate, and the required potion sequence is "Sharp Weapon I" and "Evasion I";

The function of breaking weight is to increase the armor breaking rate, and the required potion sequence is "Blunt Weapon I" and "Block I".

The function of grazing is to reflect long-range damage, and the required potion sequence is "grazing I".

If you don't reach the potion threshold, you can still use swordsmanship, but you won't be able to achieve the desired effect, and you must use more advanced skills to make up for it.

To use a popular terminology on the forum, if you first learn swordsmanship and then take magic potion, this is "sword sect"; if you first take magic potion and then learn swordsmanship, this is "air sect".

The upgrade of Airbender is step-by-step, and the player experience is good; the strength of Jianzong improves quickly, but the operation requirements are very high. If the operation is not good, you will be a noob.

Since he had a deep understanding of the Nine Star Styles in his previous life, Asik chose the "Sword Sect" path. He first learned the Nine Star Styles, and then slowly completed the corresponding magic potion sequence.

Now four of the five gladiatorial potions have been completed. Just like Linghu Chong in The Swordsman, he has solved the problem of internal strength by studying the Yi Jin Jing, and then he can truly unleash the power of the Dugu Nine Swords.

Ask stood up from the bed, slowly feeling the abundant spirituality in his body.

At the same time, I also noticed a certain sense of depression, as if I was breathing on a plateau with insufficient oxygen, and felt a little tired.

After being promoted to Lv.5, he has reached the upper limit of the current demon tide level and cannot continue to be promoted to Lv.6.

Even if a Level 6 potion is placed in front of him, he will inevitably lose control due to lack of spirituality after drinking it.

On the other hand, after being promoted to Level 5, he has reached the peak of strength allowed by the current world.

The physical strength of Level 5 can already withstand the shooting damage of ordinary firearms. The strong muscle density and self-healing ability enable Asik to withstand bullets as long as he is not hit in vital parts such as eyeballs, heart, and brain. Charge forward.

Just take out the bullet in time after the war.

Congratulations to player Asker for achieving an achievement: promoted to Level 5. Reward: Carrying bullets physically.
