Blue Sword

The knights were guarding outside, while the Cangqing Sword people were in the dark room of the Thieves Guild. They communicated with each other about the current situation, and suddenly they all felt that it was extremely difficult.

The main problem, of course, is that the Venetian city council, especially the conservatives, do not want to get involved in the battle between the emperor and the Holy See. At the same time, the hanging of the former governor created a power vacuum in the city council, making collective decision-making impossible.

If the Conservative Party cannot be persuaded, then even if the New Party supports the war, as long as the Conservative Party continues to adopt boycott tactics (such as refusing to vote when the parliament makes decisions, or deliberately using lengthy speech time to block the New Party proposal), it can make the Venetian City Council unable to Pass any resolution.

Secondly, regarding the murder of the former governor, the murderer has been identified as Agrippina, and she herself has admitted it.

However, as Peggy's master, of course no one would do anything to hand her over to the law in exchange for concessions from the top management of Venis. Not to mention whether the conservatives will give in because of this, just "a demigod close to their own team" and "a level III potion promised by the emperor", any fool knows which side to choose.

Magic potions are always available, demigods are hard to find, and we are not vassals of the emperor, so why should we sacrifice our interests for his grandiose achievements?

Coupled with the limitations of the anti-magic magnetic field, extraordinary abilities such as mind-reading and brainwashing cannot take effect. Therefore, let alone trying to "persuade" the conservatives, whether he could help Agrippina avoid the militia search and escape from the city was a matter of two opinions.

"Hey, I suddenly had an idea." Medea had a sudden thought, "Asker, when those two demigods left, they seemed to have turned into rats instead of bats, right?"

"Yes." It was Agrippina who answered, "In urban environments with complex terrain, due to concerns about gunmen or snipers, the Lord of Filth is usually more inclined to turn into a pack of rats and disperse to escape, hiding himself in this way. More convenient.”

"In other words, when the anti-magic magnetic field is turned on, the two demigods should still be in this city." Medea showed a thoughtful expression, "If you encounter the anti-magic magnetic field when you become a group of rats, , what will happen?”

"It will eliminate the rat swarm and restore the human body." Agrippina replied, "If the environment does not allow it, then we can only rush to a place where the environment allows and recover at the risk of spiritual consumption."

"Medea, what do you mean..." Sheila suddenly seemed to understand.

"What is the reason why Venis City turned on the anti-magic magnetic field?" Medea asked everyone.

"Well, because the citizens witnessed demigods fighting in the city, they turned on the anti-magic magnetic field to prevent the scale of the battle from expanding and causing damage?" Eleanor tried to answer.

"If there are really citizens who witness it, then Venis' senior officials will definitely be able to recognize that these demigods have the unique abilities of the Lord of Filth from the corresponding ability effects." Sheila corrected her statement, "turning on the anti-magic magnetic field will not only Is it to stop the fighting, or to capture these demigods and follow the clues to find out the murderer of the former governor."

"That is to say." Medea said with a smile, "If the higher-ups catch a certain demigod, then as long as he is from the pure-blood monastery, there is a high probability that Venis will identify him as the murderer of the former governor. Then send it to the Holy See - no matter who this demigod is."

"You mean to report the two male demigods who attacked us today as the assassins of Governor Venis to the top brass of Venis?" Peggy asked with some confusion, "But, they know that the murderer is a woman. !”

"Peggy, the higher-ups in Venis don't care who the murderer is." Medea educated her. "Because the former governor died mysteriously at the hands of a pure-blood monastic order, the Holy See may have some bad suspicions about the city-state of Venis. , so they urgently need to distance themselves from this matter. After all, the longer time passes, the more unknown will be the direction in which the Holy See’s attitude towards Venis will slip.”

"Let's take a more extreme example: If the top brass of Venis only caught male demigods, and the female murderer has not appeared for many years, would it be that the top brass of Venis would rather wait for so many years to search for the real murderer than report it to the Holy See as soon as possible? A 'justifiable explanation'? Don't forget, they are politicians after all, not criminal police."

"What's more, the Lord of Filth's flesh-and-blood ability can freely change facial muscles and adjust appearance and posture. Therefore, who can tell whether the murderer's true identity is a man or a woman?"

These last words hit the nail on the head and made everyone present suddenly realize. Yes! The Lord of Filth can freely change his appearance and body. Didn't Agrippina pretend to be the White Wolf Swordsman and ambush everyone on the battlefield?

In other words, even if the citizens saw that the murderer who hanged Governor Venis was a woman, the higher-ups could say that this was the murderer who "deliberately disguised herself as a woman in order to confuse the situation."

As long as Cang Qing Sword and the others capture the male demigod of the Pure Blood Monastery and hand him over to the top brass of Venis. Then Venis could secretly cooperate with the Empire in exchange for keeping the matter secret.

It seems feasible.

If you think about it carefully, this reverse thinking not only takes into account the ability and characteristics of the Lord of Filth, but also cleverly takes advantage of the current anxiety and fear of the top brass in Venis, and by the way, it also traps the demigod who attacked Agrippina.

The person who can come up with such a vicious plan is probably not a good person! Of course, we are not targeting a certain companion, we are just discussing the matter...

"Well, yes." Asik finally said, "Then the question is: how to catch these two demigods? And, will they leave Venis City early?"

"Under the anti-magic magnetic field, demigods will be greatly suppressed. As long as we can determine their location, we can formulate a corresponding arrest plan." Sheila said, "Your Excellency Belladonna Poison, you used to arrest them last time Do you have any extra toxins specifically designed to catch the Hidden Strings and target demigods?"

"It's impossible to make it now." Agrippina said sternly, "But I prepared a small bottle with me in advance, just in case something unexpected happens."

"I would like to remind you that my law-level toxins are not invincible to the filth lords who possess the 'poison' ability. As long as they are willing to consume their spiritual energy to activate the 'poison' ability, then before my poison takes effect, most of them will The probability will be suppressed by the opponent's ability."

It doesn't matter, because my Xingchen Ninth Style Shattered Spirit can cut off the opponent's poison ability, Asik thought to himself. It only takes a short moment for the poison to take full effect, and the opponent's spirituality has been completely lost.

"Second question, will they leave the city of Venice early without catching you?" Medea asked Agrippina.

"It's hard to say." Agrippina replied, "Based on what I know about them, they are not people who are willing to give up easily before achieving their goals, but this also depends on the defense situation of Venis."

"If Venis is strictly guarding the city and guarding it ten steps, then the fool will continue to hunt in the city. They will most likely leave the range of the anti-magic magnetic field first; on the contrary, if the defense is not tight, they may be more willing to stay In the city, search for my traces by guarding the docks and ports."

"After all, based on normal judgment, I would definitely want to escape from here as soon as possible - if you hadn't come up with this anti-hunting plan."
