Blue Sword

The man in black robe was still trying to increase his control, but suddenly his nose felt itchy.

"Sneeze!" He couldn't help but sneeze hard, and his mind control was interrupted. Medea and Nora's mind tentacles immediately extended along the subconscious ocean, in turn invading the depths of his consciousness.

Two level I mind-stealing witches actually dare to control me? ! The man in black robe was furious and was about to activate the advanced "psychic shock" when he suddenly sneezed again.

Endless soreness and itching flowed into his nasal cavity, and he sneezed several times in succession. Even the eyes of the surrounding audience could not help but turn to him.

"It's not good... my body's reaction... makes me... my spirit and will... unable to concentrate..." The man in black robe almost collapsed from sneezing. His head was already buzzing, which was the sign that his mind was about to lose control. sign. Finally, he tilted his head and lost control of his mental body. To others, he seemed to be asleep.

"You control him, I will be responsible for reading the mind." Medea quickly said to Nora, and her mental body immediately sank into the other party's consciousness, quickly searching for useful information.

On the competition field, without the interference of mind control, Askew immediately calmly displayed his superb swordsmanship, and soon suppressed Meyer in turn.

"How come this guy has become so powerful again? Did he just pretend?" Meyer was thinking absentmindedly when he heard a surprised voice coming from the other side:

"Do you still have time to be dazed?"

Before he finished speaking, there was already a strong force coming from the place where the sword was held. Asik flew his long sword cleanly, and then put the blade on his neck.

"You lost," Ask said.

"I lost." Meyer nodded. There was no depression or loss in his heart, but an unexpected sense of relief. If the contract failed to be fulfilled, of course he would first refund the money to the Wolfe family, and then he could finally study swordsmanship again. .

Now he doesn't want to think about anything. He just wants to quickly find a secluded place to sort out the fallacies he has worked on for many years.

Asker put away his sword and looked at Meyer, who looked calm, feeling a little surprised.

The domineering and arrogant temperament that this guy had before the duel had completely disappeared at this time. Instead, he was closer to the indifferent expression of the "Sword Master of Squares" in later generations.

Because you lost to me this time, did you start changing your mentality early? Ask shook his head and turned to leave.

"I heard that you brought a mercenary group of your own, chief." Meyer's voice sounded from behind, hoarse and tired, "Can you tell me, what is the name of your mercenary group?"

"The Blue Sword."

"I remember, Cang Qing Sword." Meyer nodded thoughtfully, "I will ask for sword skills next time I have the opportunity."

"Let's talk about it later." Asik waved his hand without looking back.

In the stands, with Meyer's sudden defeat, the envoys of the Wolf family also panicked. Even the controlled man in black robe was pushed awake, looking at the determined situation on the field and the two girls in the stands opposite, with an expression of shame and speechlessness.

Nora and Medea on the opposite side have also ended their abilities. The former finally breathed a sigh of relief and slowly calmed down her exhausted spirit, while the latter gradually frowned as she digested the fragments of information she had plundered.

Viscount Heinrich's eyes widened in the stands, his face was as stiff as iron, and he was so gloomy that water almost condensed. He knew Meyer's overwhelming strength, not to mention that there was a mind-stealing wizard in the team, who could quietly control Asik when necessary.

Precisely because of his previous conviction, he was also the most shocked and puzzled by Meyer's mysterious defeat.

The Duke of Bavaria, on the other hand, was an old man. He was noncommittal about the Weisbach family's final victory, and just slowly tapped his knees with his fingers.

After a long time, he said leisurely: "The warriors fought very well."

Heinrich was angry and speechless, and after a while he said: "It's because the Weisbach family is superior, and we lost."

"As expected," said the Duke of Bavaria.

Heinrich: ...

He was silent on the surface, but his thoughts were changing rapidly. What does "expected" mean? Demonstration? Or mocking? No, he was making a pun! The expected result, on the surface, refers to the battle just now, but in fact, it refers to the civil war between the Wolf family and the emperor's camp!

He is certain that we will eventually fail!

At this point, any bluffing and cruel words would make him look harsh and weak, so Heinrich could only stand up silently, bow lightly to the Duke of Bavaria, and then hurriedly left with others.

"Father!" Eleanor came next, and her excitement was beyond words. "Ask won! We won!"

"Yes." The Duke nodded.

"Aren't you happy?" Eleanor noticed that there was no joy on his face.

The Duke smiled and shook his head and said:

"Eleanor, as you said before, can you introduce your regiment leader to me?"

"You mean Ask?" Eleanor said in surprise, "Yes, yes, but..."

"Don't worry, I won't do anything to the Blue Sword." As if he saw through her concerns, the Duke said with a smile.

"Then you want to..."

"Aren't you a mercenary group?" The Duke blinked, "I want to negotiate a deal with Cangqing Sword."

————————

When Ask entered the Duke's study, he saw the holder of the principality's authority looking out the window with his hands behind his back.

Eleanor stood beside him and raised her eyebrows at him, indicating that he didn't need to be too nervous.

"Your Majesty the Duke." Ask said aloud.

"No need to be polite, Eleanor has often told me about you." The Duke slowly turned around and said, "Sit down."

Ask took a look and saw that there was an empty chair in front of the desk, so he sat down on the chair.

"Have you ever visited Mingxing City?" the Duke asked with a smile.

"This is a beautiful city." Asik complimented calmly.

"It's also the jewel of the Principality of Bavaria, isn't it?" the Duke said. "I hope the Hussite attacks on the streets did not scare the members of your team."

"We are mercenaries, sir. We have received professional training." Ask replied. How could the mercenaries be frightened by an armed attack?

"The Hussites are a group of humble citizens who are unwilling to accept the status quo." The Duke said with emotion. "It is easy to be incited by malicious forces and do all kinds of crazy things."

"If we put it in normal times, it would just be a common rebellion in the principality. However, now that the civil war is imminent, we cannot take it lightly. Ask, do you understand what I mean?"

"What the Duke means," Asker said, "These Hussite attacks were deliberately launched by certain forces. Their purpose was to stir up muddy waters and set off smoke bombs."

"Well." The Duke turned to look at Eleanor, "Your previous analyzes were also discussed with your companions, right? Yes, they are much smarter than your two mediocre brothers."

Eleanor could only giggle.

"Not only the Hussite attack, but also the knight's fight itself was a cover to hide the truth from others. Now is the era when the upper limit of the magic tide is level 10. Extraordinary beings are far more able to determine the final victory of a battle than the knight class itself. burden."

"Father, so..." Eleanor seemed to realize something.

"Heinrich doesn't know anything. He is still thinking about winning the knight's fight in order to undermine the morale of our knights." The Duke sneered, "This is a disguise on the surface, but in fact There must be a deeply hidden conspiracy in the Wolf family’s mission.”

"If Heinrich himself didn't know about it, then there might be a real mastermind among his entourage," Ask said.

"I have asked people to investigate his team of attendants. All of them are of noble origin, and their backgrounds and identities are well documented. From the time they entered the Principality of Bavaria to the present, the team has always followed the arranged route, and no one has left the team midway. . But these don’t mean anything.”

"Your Excellency Ask, I entrust you with this task. I hope that the Cangqing Sword can find out their conspiracy." The Duke finally said, "On their way out of the Principality of Bavaria, if there is really any conspiracy, maybe here During that time they will put it into practice.”

"I will make all the escort teams obey your orders. If necessary, you can even execute them all on the spot without asking for my permission in advance."

Eleanor was horrified. Kill the envoy? How much power does this have? If you are not careful, it will lead to full-scale hostility between the two principalities! Father would actually give such power to Aske?

"Thank you for your trust in our mercenary group." Asik nodded and said, "But, can I ask why?"

"Because there are people who vouch for your strength and credibility." The Duke laughed, "Well, when I was young, I went to the Siris Peninsula to study abroad, majoring in international politics and extraordinary forces."

"My teacher at that time was the Lord of Olympia, His Excellency Appilios."
