Blue Sword

If there is an NPC in the "Iron and Fire" game world, it is very famous.

Needless to say, it must be Theodora.

Theodora, the purple princess of the empire, is known as "the most beautiful woman in the game".

The online games here don't just refer to "Iron and Fire", but to almost all the games that have ever been released. Almost all female NPCs who are famous for their beauty cannot compare with her in appearance.

The head model alone cost US$130 million to model the character of this NPC.

Including the distance between the eyes, the length of each eyelash, the height and width of the bridge of the nose, nasolabial folds, the shape of the forehead, and the position of each tooth, all are designed by the world's top 13 game design teams. At the same time, it conforms to the aesthetic culture of Eastern and Western countries.

One month before the official release of "Iron and Fire", the game company used the finished Theodora's dancing video to create a hit marketing campaign.

After all, beautiful NPCs are an eye-catching factor in online games no matter where they are.

The result was just as the game company expected. Theodora's "peerless appearance" was praised by the media as "perfect that normal humans cannot grow". Together with the upcoming game "Iron and Fire", it will Appeared in major game forums, video websites, game enthusiast circles, cosplay groups, comics exhibition books, life-size pillow figures, the hottest templates in plastic surgery hospitals, advertising posters for adult products stores, and third-, fourth- and fifth-tier cities and towns. On the signboard of a rural convenience store.

Although the latter few are no longer the communication channels that game companies want... but all in all, the marketing effect is still perfect. Theodora, the most beautiful woman in "Iron and Fire", as a beautiful NPC, is destined to be recorded in the history of games. It's in the annals of history.

At this time, Ask looked at Theodora's beautiful eyes, and the first thought in his mind was "What kind of veil are you wearing? I know you even if you turn into ashes!"

"This beautiful young lady is right!" Before he could speak, Hildelifera had already shouted, "Since he has to be shot anyway, why not let me do the execution!"

As she spoke, she raised her right-hand axe, and chopped off the young man's head in one fell swoop, so fast that even Eleanor had no time to stop him.

Theodora stood there stunned, seemingly unresponsive.

"Hidley," Asker said, covering his face, "What people call legal execution is execution by a specific executioner recognized by the government. If you just behead someone like this, that's called murder!"

"Huh?" Hilda tilted her head, not understanding the difference between murder and legal shooting.

"Forget it." Theodora came back to her senses, "Just kill such a scumbag to avoid wasting the empire's judicial costs."

She looked at Aske, with a smile in her eyes again: "You are Aske Lepios Achilles, right? The current heir of the Achilles family? Are you currently running a mercenary group?"

"That's right." Asik nodded. Just as he was about to hear what the other party was going to say next, a thought suddenly flashed through his mind:

Theodora's bloodline seems to be a level 2 "quality mage"? Arcane caster who has mastered Storm I and Wisdom X! This seems to fit the current needs of my team very well.

The deviant idea of ​​recruiting the Queen NPC into one's own team as a mercenary... sounds unexpectedly sexy?

Asker thought for a moment like lightning. Now in his team, there are ordinary people like Mil, Hildafa, and Mia, as well as rich and aristocratic girls like Nora and Eleanor, and even some An imperial princess like Medea.

If there was one more queen...it wouldn't seem to make any difference?

"With all due respect, who are you?" Ask asked with a smile.

Theodora was about to speak, but Asik suddenly interrupted her and said with an oh, "I understand! You must have heard about the reputation of our 'Cang Qing Sword' mercenary group, so you came here to plan it." Are you joining us?"

Theodora:? ? ?

"Let me tell you, we are still short of an arcane mage. If you are the person we are looking for...I noticed that you have a tattoo of mithril on your body." Asker coughed and said, "That is the magic power on the body surface. Loop, right?”

"Ah, that's right." Theodora changed her mind and decided not to tell the other party her identity, but to try to test the other party's situation first.

The reason is also very simple. She wants to recruit him as her bodyguard, but the premise is that Achilles's strength must be as outstanding as shown in the video.

Otherwise, if you accidentally attract a scumbag, losing a little money is a trivial matter, but being wantonly laughed at by the imperial sister Zoe would be called humiliation.

"How is the strength of your 'Blue Sword' mercenary group?" Theodora asked pretending to be nonchalant.

"It depends on your criteria for evaluating strength." Asker said, "In terms of scale, we currently only have 8 people, and we will not have more than 10 in the future. Because we plan to take the route of small elites.

"What about combat ability alone?" Theodora asked.

"Number one in the universe." Asik replied.

"Cough!" Eleanor coughed awkwardly from behind. Is this "number one in the universe" too much of a boast?

On the other hand, Sidley next to her could not help but nod her head and said:

"Yes, yes, yes, although we are number one in the universe now, don't think that our strength will stop here. In the future, we will one day become..."

She paused and quietly asked Eleanor: "What is bigger than the universe?"

"No more." Eleanor didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "The universe is the biggest."

"Oh." Sidrifa suddenly realized it and blamed Asker, "Hey, Asker, we have to be humble. We are already number one in the universe now, what will we do in the future? Will we still give us room to become stronger? "

"Then let's be number one in the mainland." Asik said casually.

"The number one in the continent is pretty good." Hildelife nodded in approval, but Eleanor looked blankly behind her. The number one on the continent... seems to be no different from the number one in the universe, right?

"Hehehe." Theodora covered her mouth and chuckled, "Captain Asker, you are really an interesting guy. Of course, so is the warrior lady."

Outside the door, two officers and guards heard the queen's laughter, and they were secretly wondering.

Could it be that Achilles is a smooth talker and a sycophant who kneels down and licks his beloved?

Seeing that the other party was still smiling politely, Asik sighed inwardly.

Sure enough, it is basically impossible to convince the other party with words alone. You still have to use gambling chips.

"Words are unfounded." Asik also smiled, "Why don't you see with your own eyes how strong our team is?"

"Okay." Theodora returned the smile with interest, wondering what the other party was trying to show me?

Under her doubtful gaze, she saw Asik holding the book on his waist with one hand, moving it spiritually, covering the four people around him, and the surrounding scene immediately changed.

The dirty tavern disappeared, replaced by the mountain top in the afternoon, and the vast ocean in the distance. There was a gray-white mist shrouding the visible distance, like the end where water and sky meet.

Theodora was startled, quickly and quietly closed her hands, and pressed the alarm transmitter on her sleeve with her right hand.

no response? No, this is no longer Constantinople, so the signal cannot be sent out at all!

It looks like an island. Is it some kind of remote teleportation array? In other words, I am now brought here alone by the other party, and I am probably out of the territory of Constantinople!

What does this Achilles want to do? !

She turned her head slightly, observing her surroundings calmly but vigilantly, and saw that a house was being built at the construction site opposite, and the people carrying materials and doing the construction were all young girls.

"Asker! You are back!" Nora ran over happily, as if she were a wife welcoming her husband back home, and then cast her doubtful eyes on Theodora.

"This is..." She was stunned for a moment and asked Asker in a low voice, "Arcane Mage?"

"That's right, but they haven't signed a contract with me yet. She just came here for inspection." Aske explained.

"Oh." Nora nodded, then smiled gently, and stretched out her hand to Theodora generously.

"Hello, I am Nora Valenius Licinius."

"Licinius?" Unlike others, Theodora recognized this surname almost instantly. It was one of the thirteen oldest wealthy clans in Solomon City, so he also reached out to shake her hand. He paused and said:

"Hello, my name is...well, my name is Sheila."

(Thira, short for Theodora)

"As you can see, our team has already taken shape." Asik called the girls over and introduced them to Theodora one by one, "Nora is our team's healer and the current logistics manager. "

"Eleanor, the frontline defender, is responsible for drawing enemy fire."

"Hidliba, the main attacker of the strength system, is responsible for killing heavily armored enemies."

"Peggy, the main agility attacker, is responsible for harvesting unarmored or lightly armored enemies."

"Medea, the psychic, is responsible for influencing and controlling the enemy from the consciousness level."

"Psychic?" Theodora was slightly startled. This is a rare profession.

Medea glanced at her lightly, and suddenly a suspicious look appeared on her face.

This veiled girl...isn't it Her Majesty Theodora who just ascended the throne! Damn it! Ask, why did you abduct Her Majesty the Queen? ! !

I seem to smell a conspiracy. Medea secretly became excited, smiled kindly and said:

"Hello, you are Sheila, right? What a nice name."

"Thank you." Theodora responded with a smile, feeling guilty.

"Continue the introduction." Asik, like the host of a banquet, eagerly led Theodora and everyone present to meet them one by one. "Mia, our scout, is responsible for early warning reconnaissance and trap investigation."

"And lock picking." Mia added.

"No." Ask denied, "We are a completely regular mercenary group, and it is impossible for us to pick the locks of other people's homes."

He gave Mia a warning look and continued:

"This is Mi'er, a new gunner, responsible for long-range fire suppression."

"Finally, I am Asik, the team leader and conductor." Asik pressed his chest with one hand and introduced himself at the end like a gentleman.
