Blue Sword

Finishing touches.

After William's fall, Sydrifa successfully subdued the remaining Northern Horn Knights.

As for those few knights who were unwilling to be subdued and insisted on dying for William, there were also a few knights, and Hidrifa naturally chose to respect their wishes.

The two demigods died one after another, and the remaining members of the Hauteville family naturally lost the courage to continue to resist. After all, there are two demigods present here.

"So next, Shirley will temporarily stay in Sicily to help maintain the Otterville family's restoration of ruling order." Medea said lightly in the hall of the Hearth Island Manor, "Of course, the restored order will also be restored in our Under indirect control.”

"I plan to reorganize the remaining Northern Horn troops into a mercenary group." Hidrifa also agreed.

"Reorganize the mercenary group?" Nora asked in surprise.

"The Blue Sword has jurisdiction over the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Northern Horn Mercenary Regiments." Hildrifa said with a smile, "How about it?"

Ask:………………

Well, after the order in Sicily is reestablished, the Hauteville family, which is nominally surrendered to Sidrifa, will definitely have no motive to invade the north thanks to the good relationship between the Cangqing Sword and the Holy See.

So, how to maintain such a large-scale conventional force has become a matter of considerable discussion. It is impossible to return to farming after retiring from the army. There is no way to expect these Norman extraordinary people to farm honestly, so they can only maintain the status quo for the time being.

It is better to let them work as mercenaries to make money than to fire them and go out to cause chaos. In addition, Nora's family has money, so they can hire these Norman knights to protect the Licinius family's business activities in the Tyrrhenian Sea.

In this way, it is equivalent to saying that Sicily will be ruled by three major forces in the future: politically, the Hauteville family, headed by Hildelifera, has legal claims, and militarily, the demigods on Mier's side are responsible for supervision and intervention. Financially, the Nora family is responsible for blood transfusions.

The three pillars are the most balanced.

Of course Asker saw it, and after sighing a few words, "Girls are starting to have their own little thoughts," he stopped caring about this matter.

For him, what is more important is of course the team's strength growth plan.

After this battle, Sidrifa, Mia and Sheila also successfully completed the ritual tasks and understood the corresponding rules.

Today, the highest level is still the vampire girl favored by fate, Paige at Level 16; followed by Asik, who has just completed the realization of the law, and is at Level 15.

After comprehending the Judgment Skill, Eleanor's level has also been upgraded to Lv.14, and she needs to enter the stage of materializing the law; then there are Mier, Medea and Nora, whose levels are Lv.12, Lv.11 and Lv respectively. .11, there is room for more skill development.

Of the last three newly promoted law-level transcendent beings, Mia was probably the only one who understood the skill of opening wormholes and was successfully promoted to Level 11. Sidrifa and Sheila were both still at Level 10.

But it doesn’t matter. The difference between the road of law and the road of blood is that: the road of blood is upgraded step by step. If you get stuck on the corresponding potion, you will be stuck for a long time; while the road of law is more similar to some kind of Learning from experience, the speed of getting stronger is linear and uniform.

So as long as everyone participates in more experience, the level will naturally climb up, and there is no need to worry about encountering upgrade bottlenecks such as lack of magic potions.

For example, the future Sidrifa, judging by her tone, is obviously the Asik who failed to defeat that world. After all, there is now a level difference of 5 levels between Asik and Sidrifa. Of course, it is not easy to catch up.

When I think of Sidliefa, I think of that inexplicable kiss. Throwing away the distracting thoughts from his memory, Asik subconsciously looked at Hidrifa who was still talking to Medea. The latter suddenly blushed and turned away.

Asker:? ? ?

"Ah, have you done anything to Sidrifa recently?" Medea crossed her arms and asked with a smile, her eyes narrowed to a slit, "Why does she treat you so weirdly?"

No matter what I did to her, it was clearly "she" who did something to me, okay! Ask was speechless.

"Huh." Medea suddenly came over and sniffed his body a few times, her nose slightly twitching.

"What are you doing?" Asik quickly backed away.

"Why can't I read your mind?" Medea Fox asked.

"Oh." Ask said calmly, "I robbed your psychic ability and gave myself a layer of protection."

Medea:………………

"Your plundering skills are really powerful. Can you copy any ability?" She said rather sourly, "I bet we are your storehouse of extraordinary laws, so you can pick and use them according to your mood?"

"What are you talking about, Medea?" Ask's face darkened, "I'm just 'borrowing' your abilities."

"I can borrow it, but when will it be returned?" Medea asked angrily, "How is the interest calculated?"

Asker:? ? ?

"Let's do this." Medea smiled and said, "I don't care if you 'borrow' my ability. As compensation, how about going out with me for fun today?"

"Uh..." Ask thought for a moment and then saw Mi'er coming out of nowhere.

"Do you want to go out to play?" the half-elf girl asked enthusiastically.

Medea turned her head and gave her a sharp glare from the corner of her eye. Mi'er responded with a sweet smile and said crisply:

"I just checked the timeline and found that you guys went out to play today. Can you take me with you, Ask?"

"Ah, of course no problem." Ask said quickly.

To be honest, after what happened with his one-day boyfriend last time, he was really a little afraid of going out on a date with Miss Succubus alone.

The other party is a demigod who pursues the law. As soon as the realm is opened, the wall will be wall-dong, and the kissing skills are so proficient that it will make people breathless. After going a few more times, he was afraid that he really couldn't control himself and would fall directly into the other person's tenderness, and he would no longer be happy to be alone.

Now that the half-elf girl has joined, she will certainly not let Medea attack unbridled. After all, Asker was also the captain of a professional team, and he immediately saw the feasibility of various tactics such as "borrowing strength to fight", "fire from both ends", and "fighting between snipe and clam".

"Are you going out?" Nora poked her head out of the kitchen, "Just in time, I'm going out to buy groceries, how about we go together later?"

Medea and Mier:………………

"How about Sister Nora, tell us what ingredients you want, and we go buy them and bring them over?" Mi'er had an idea and said.

She still had the confidence to compete against Medea, but she really couldn't cope with more Nora. She had to use all her strength just to scheming with her love rivals, and she had no time to improve the captain's favorability.

"No need, I have higher requirements for the quality of ingredients, so I'd better go in person." Nora showed a soft smile, looking at Mi'er with a gentle look that clearly said: "Little sister, how old are you? Come with me." fight"?

"Ah, isn't it easy to choose ingredients?" Medea said coldly, "Can't we just ask Mi'er to drag you out of the parallel world and come with us?"

Nora:………………

"In that case, it's better to let Mi'er drag out Asik from the parallel world, so you can date and have fun as you want, right?" Nora suddenly reacted and retorted sharply.

"Can it be the same? To me, Ask in the parallel world is just a stranger who is exactly the same as the leader." Medea puffed up her chest and declared plausibly, "I, Miss Succubus, am super loyal to love."

"You're right, Nora in the parallel world is also a stranger to me." Nora put her hands on her hips with dissatisfaction and said angrily, "How could I let a stranger handle the ingredients I need?"

"So what are you arguing about?" Eleanor had just come back from practicing her spear skills outside. She was sweating slightly and had a towel hanging around her neck. She looked puzzledly at the two girls who were at war with each other in the hall, and the two girls who were silently standing next to them. Mi'er sighed.

"We were talking about hanging out," Askew said.

"Ah!" Eleanor clapped her hands in sudden realization, "Then why don't everyone go? There are so many people."

Everyone:………………

So you thought we were really just hanging out?

"Wait a minute, I'll go back to the room and change into casual clothes." Eleanor said, and hurried up to the second floor.

She closed the door here, and Peggy's door just opened over there. The vampire girl who came out let out a sigh and asked:

"I just heard Eleanor say, are you going out?"

"Yeah, let's go out and play." Ask said.

"I'm going too!" Peggy jumped over the railing and then asked, "Where to go?"

Everyone was speechless. You didn’t even know where you were going, so you just followed me?

"No matter where I go, I just need to follow the leader." Peggy said nonchalantly.

"You go wherever he goes. Are you Asik's little tail?" Mi'er complained.

Ask:………………

Peggy's pretty face turned red, and she defended herself: "I'm just worried about the leader going out, because I'm afraid that he will be abducted by someone with bad intentions!"

Am I a little boy who hasn’t grown up yet and will be abducted by human traffickers? Ask was speechless. But Paige was finally right. He was indeed surrounded by people with "bad intentions".

So having one more Peggy is no problem, and maybe it can muddy the water... Thinking of this, Asik ignored everyone's frustrated looks, nodded and said:

"Then come with Paige."

"Yeah!" Peggy responded in a cute voice, and then came over to hold his hand, unable to help but smile.

physical contact! The girls around me suddenly looked at each other with unkind eyes. We were all still exchanging words. Why did you attack the group leader directly?

Seeing that the smell of gunpowder at the scene was so strong that a fight was about to begin, Aske quickly said to Peggy:

"Since so many people have signed up, let's just go out as a team and treat it as a team-building trip. Paige, go and call Mia, Sheila and Hilda."

"Yes!" Peggy responded obediently, then let go of his hand and ran out of the manor.

Fortunately, Peggy's mind was pure. Asik breathed a sigh of relief and saw the eyes of the girls around him, all focused on him.

As we all know, couples usually hold hands when walking on the road. The problem is that the leader only has two hands...

So, how to divide it?

——————

The seaside town of Cefalu, located east of Palermo, is said to have the most beautiful crescent-shaped beach in Sicily and is a popular holiday destination throughout Italy.

It is already winter near the end of November, and the temperature in coastal cities in Sicily is around 10-20 degrees Celsius (after all, the low latitudes are close to the tropics), which is considered a relatively pleasant season. Many wealthy children from Italy and Canada also made a special trip to Sicily to spend the winter at this time.

Especially after the Hauteville family and the Licinius family signed a commercial agreement for peaceful development, the entire Sicily seemed to transform overnight into a "golden basin" far away from the war. Even the passenger ferry sailing from Solomon City The price has tripled.

Everyone from Cang Qing Sword got on the bus from Palermo to Cefalù and immediately occupied the five seats in the last row and the four seats on the left and right sides of the penultimate row, which was divided into nine people in the team.

Asker originally wanted to choose a seat by the window in the back row, but this resulted in the only seat next to him becoming very popular.

After a whole round of arguing, everyone unanimously decided to let him sit in the middle of the last row, so that everyone would not be too far away from him, which was the most fair.

So what exactly are you minding? Asker doesn't understand at all. Does sitting far or close to me have any impact on our relationship?

The seats next to him on the left and right were unceremoniously occupied by Nora and Medea. The two psychic girls sandwiched him in the middle, forcing him to maintain a state of psychic protection throughout the journey to avoid being stripped of his memories again during the journey.

But it seems like these two have already seen it?

Paige and Mi'er couldn't get the seats next to them, so they could only sit in the middle aisle of the fourth row. As long as they turned their heads, they could see the "second closest" position of the group leader.

As for Eleanor, Hilda, Sheila and Mia, they naturally sat in the four seats by the window - I don't know if they minded or not, but on the surface they didn't care.

The bus was driving on the coastal road, and the bright sunshine at noon was splashing down wantonly. Many passengers opened their windows to let in the sea breeze outside.

On the left is a vast seascape, on the right are the golden fields of Sicily and Mediterranean-style light-colored masonry buildings.

The girls looked at the scenery outside the window boredly, which made Asik even more depressed: So why don't you just fight for the seat by the window from the beginning?

"I suddenly discovered that the sea around Fire Island is different from the real ocean." Nora pulled her hair around her ears and said with a smile.

"Why is it different?" Ask asked.

"There is no strong wind in Fire Island, so the sea water is almost calm, just like the water standing still in the basin." Nora replied, "But if you look out the window, the sea surface in reality is undulating. .”

"Indeed." Eleanor echoed.

"That's why we have to go out and take the bus instead of staying in Fire Island." Nora said with a smile, "After all, the scenery along the way is also part of the trip."

"That makes sense." Asik nodded. Medea next to her suddenly turned her eyes and said:

"I have nothing to do anyway, why don't we play a game?"

It is absolutely impossible to talk about literature and art with a female literary youth, because you will be dragged into the mysterious unknown territory by the other party, and then defeated by her with a series of unclear and powerful perceptual theories. Medea decisively chose to move the battlefield!

"What game?" As she expected, Asik's attention was also diverted.

"Confess or risk," Medea said.

Truth or Dare has a more concise and easy-to-understand name in China, called "Truth or Dare". Before Nora could speak, Mia in the front row had climbed onto the seat, turned around, and shouted:

"Okay, okay, let's play a game!"

"Mia!" Mi'er quickly tried to pull her down, "You will disturb the passengers in front of you!"

"It's okay." Medea snapped her fingers, and the passengers in front who turned around curiously after hearing the sound turned back without noticing, as if they hadn't heard anything.

"I blocked their attention in a targeted manner." Medea explained, "Even if you yell in front of them, they won't react at all."

"Isn't that a problem?" Nora asked worriedly.

"It's just a sound directed at us." Medea took out nine bamboo sticks from the bag (obviously prepared), then held the lower end in her palm, making the exposed bamboo sticks at the same height, and said with a smile :

"Nine bamboo sticks, one is too long and one is too short. The person who draws the long bamboo stick can designate a question or behavior, and requires the person who draws the short bamboo stick to answer strictly frankly or comply with it."

"Sounds interesting," Eleanor said with interest.

"Come, let's draw lots." Medea smiled and handed the bamboo sticks over to everyone to draw.

Mi'er silently activated her ability to observe the future, and then picked one of Medea's bamboo sticks, and it turned out to be a long bamboo stick.

"Who got the short bamboo stick?" Medea asked.

"I..." Silla was speechless.

"Then let Mier decide." Medea smiled.

"Then answer the question." Mi'er said, "Who is your favorite person?"

"My uncle, His Majesty Basil." Sheila said without hesitation.

"Wait!" Mi'er quickly corrected her, "What I say like does not include worship or admiration based on family ties. It is limited to the love between men and women."

"Love?" This word made Silla stunned for a while, and finally said hesitantly, "I haven't met anyone who makes my heart beat... I have to say that I have a good impression, leader."

"Hey!" the girls all exclaimed. If Medea hadn't blocked the attention of other passengers in advance, everyone in the car would have looked back.

"Then what do you like about the leader?" Mi'er asked without any surprise.

"This is the second question, right?" Sheila replied calmly.

"Okay, then let's move on to the next round~" Medea took back the bamboo sticks from everyone with a smile, then looked at Mi'er calmly and said, "And, in order to prevent possible cheating, next I will randomly distribute bamboo sticks to everyone, and you are not allowed to take the initiative to draw~"

She mixed the bamboo sticks again in the palm of her hand, and then randomly distributed them to everyone one by one.

"Hey, it's me this time." Asik indicated that he got the long bamboo stick.

"Who has the short bamboo stick?" Medea asked, and then she noticed that the girls were all staring at her.

To be precise, he was staring at the short bamboo stick in her hand.

"It turns out it's me." Medea also understood and reached out to brush her hair, revealing a charming and charming smile. "Then, Commander, please interrogate or order me as much as you like~"

"Answer the question." Ask asked helplessly, "Is there any way to make you more reserved, conservative, and dignified? At least like a girl of normal human origin?"

When the girls heard this, they couldn't help but pricked up their ears, thinking, is there really such a way in the world?

"Of course." Medea said seriously.

Seeing everyone staring at her with keen eyes, Medea put her palms on her chest and said solemnly:

"As long as Aske and I get married, I will devoutly convert to God and never do evil again. I will be honest and trustworthy, humble and polite, support my husband and raise my children, fulfill my duties, and strive to become a moral model recognized by the world..."

"Get out!" Ask interrupted her angrily.

After Medea's interruption, the atmosphere at the scene became heated. In the third round, Nora and Eleanor drew the long bamboo stick and the short bamboo stick respectively.

"So, Ellie, please answer the question." Nora thought for a moment and asked, "Who is your most important friend in your life?"

"Of course it's you, Nora." Eleanor breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile.

"Hey! This is considered cheating!" Mia immediately accused her dissatisfiedly.

"Strictly speaking, it is not breaking the rules." Sheila retorted from the side. "The specific order to be given is decided by the person who got the bamboo stick. Others have no right to interfere."

So Mia geared up and vowed to get the long bamboo stick in the next round. Mi'er sighed beside her and secretly activated her ability.

Medea once again distributed bamboo sticks to everyone (only this time when the bamboo sticks were mixed in her palm, they were silently replaced by Mi'er with bamboo sticks of a specific order in the parallel world), and then...

"I got the long bamboo stick!" Mia stood on her seat enthusiastically as if she had pulled out the sword in the stone, holding up the long bamboo stick in her hand and showing it to everyone.

"Wow, you're great!" Mi'er clapped and shouted from the side.

"My order!" Before everyone could confirm the ownership of the short bamboo stick, Mia shouted first, "Whoever gets the short bamboo stick, say... no, kiss the leader!"

Mi'er was stunned when she heard this. Wait, that's not what Futureline looks like. Shouldn't you make her answer an embarrassing question?

She cast her incredible gaze on Mia, who had a determined look on her face without any hesitation. Turning her eyes again, Mi'er realized that Medea was looking at her with a smile.

The black swan...the impromptu idea...the rules of manipulation...Mi'er suddenly understood everything.

"Who got the short bamboo stick?" she asked weakly.

"I was the one who got the short bamboo stick..."

A faint voice sounded, and everyone saw Eleanor by the window holding up a short bamboo stick again. The blond female knight covered her cheeks as if she was unbearable, and her face turned red as if it were a cooked shrimp.
