Blue Sword

When Ask woke up from sleep, he opened his eyes and saw little Mia's face very close at hand.

If last year's little Mia still had the childishness of a girl on her face, then today's Mia has completed her initial transformation into a little beauty. The eyelashes are long and curved, the wings of the nose are delicate and small, the lips are slightly open, and the warm and moist breath is exhaled.

Ask:………………

He quietly took his hand out from under Mia's neck and muttered a few words "I'm not a lolicon" before getting up from the mattress.

After eating some food on the table next to him for breakfast, Asik sat on the chair and looked around quietly.

He was waiting for the synth to come back.

Sure enough, about 5 minutes later, the door to the room opened.

"Good morning, visitor." The synthetic man walked in, "Did you sleep well last night?"

"It's not very comfortable." Ask said with a wry smile.

The mental erosion of the abyss is everywhere, but more intense at night. He had so many nightmares last night that he was still a little weak when he woke up.

Of course, compared to the crisis-ridden outside world, the scientific research institute is undoubtedly much safer. Even at the risk of being eroded, Asker hopes to stay here as much as possible, waiting for rescue from the main plane...or let Mia master the Ripple Sword in a deeper level and find a way to teleport back.

"Normal." The synthetic Cappe replied, "There are diazepam and diazepam tablets in the pharmacy, which are useful in treating phobias. You can go get them with me."

"Okay." Asik nodded.

After following the synthesizer for a while, Asik suddenly asked:

"What did this scientific research institute study before?"

"Research on how to resist the spiritual erosion of the abyss." The synthetic Capai replied.

"Oh." Asik didn't ask any more questions.

Arriving at the pharmacy, the synthesizer took out three small vials, handed them to Asker and said:

"Two tablets twice a day, or one tablet for minors, can help alleviate the effects of fear."

"good."

After being brought back to the room by the synthesizer, Asik saw the two little girls still sleeping soundly.

He sat down on the chair, and after a while, he took out the three small medicine bottles given by the synth.

His instinct told him that taking the medicine inside would be slightly dangerous.

After thinking for a while, he did not choose to take it, but put the medicine away again.

——————————

Palermo, secret room.

"So the rumors around town are true?"

"It's absolutely true. I heard them discussing the abyss with my own ears."

"The Licinius family's envoys have already gone to Milan. The Monitor Organization has taken over their business orders and started purchasing equipment on a large scale."

The atmosphere of the meeting immediately became chaotic.

"Even so, what can we do?" Someone suddenly objected and poured cold water on everyone, "Don't forget, there are no demigods in the Otterville family now."

"Even if they send out one demigod, or both of them, can we now defeat the Cangqing Sword gang? How much of the Northern Horn's army is in our hands, how many of them can we pull? Go out and fight the Sicilian guerrillas, or even the forces of the Licinius family?"

Everyone's discussion stopped abruptly.

Indeed, even if the opponent's two demigods and the Cang Qing Sword all went to the abyss, the Hauteville family, which had long been seriously injured, would not be able to quickly drive the guerrilla forces and the Licinius family out of Sicily.

"Of course it's not realistic to rely on our family alone." A woman suddenly came out of the inner room, covered in a black veil symbolizing mourning. However, someone immediately recognized that this woman whose face was slightly covered was the fallen demigod. Robert's widow Getta.

"Mrs. Guiscart, we understand your mood very well." A Huskar guard whispered, "But even if your family in Burgundy sends troops, I'm afraid it won't be able to restore the glory of the Hauteville family. . Due to the lack of demigod combat power, once we fall out with the Licinius family, we cannot be the opponent of the Holy See."

"Stop being delusional," Geta said disdainfully, "Of course it's impossible for the Hauteville family to be revived. What we have to do is save our lives."

"Save your life?"

"Don't you have any men who can see this? That bitch Hidrifa is just a puppet supported by the Blue Sword and bearing the blood of the Hauteville family." Geta's expression was extremely vicious and thin. Harsh words quickly came out of her lips, "They want to use her, use that patricide scum to enslave us, force us to surrender and lose our ambitions, and then when the time comes, they will kill us all!"

"This..." Everyone in the secret room looked at each other.

Everyone agrees with this statement that Hidrifa is a puppet. After all, that girl was different from William. She rarely held family meetings and never showed up at the Palermo court. However, she always stayed with the Cangqing Sword team, as if they were her flesh and blood compatriots.

As for the other party's plan to kill all the Hauteville family, this speculation is a bit sensational. The Northern Horn Army has not been completely wiped out yet! Such a large-scale extraordinary army is already a considerable military force in southern Italy. Unless the other party is stupid enough to lose its own strength for no reason, it will have a whim to kill all the surrendered Normans.

"Idiot! So without my late husband and Lord William, the Otterville family now can't even bring out a single person with brains?" Geta insulted and rebuked everyone without any politeness, so that many people's faces changed. Faintly looking, "Do you know the identities of the two demigods who led the Sicilian guerrillas?"

No one spoke.

"One of the female demigods is the leader of an assassin organization from the east." Geta said in a hoarse business voice, "The other demigod is a corpse witch lord from the Hafs Dynasty in the southern continent. "

"Lord Corpse Witch?!" Many people's expressions immediately changed.

The Hauteville family has been fighting two major enemies all year round. One is the Holy See in Italy in the north, and the other is the Hafs Kingdom of the Undead south of the Mediterranean.

Therefore, the Normans also know the habits of the undead very well. If you want to sum up the character of the undead in one sentence, it would be:

The undead distrust the living.

In most cases, undead supernatural beings will not leave prisoners behind. They prefer to kill all the prisoners, then pile the corpses in one place, and use spiritual materials and ritual circles to summon a large number of skeletons, zombies, or evil spirits. Spirits - their fighting methods are more in line with the abilities of undead supernatural beings, and they will never betray.

Therefore, by connecting Geta's two conclusions, everyone naturally came to a frightening inference:

Sidrifa is actually a puppet leader introduced by the demigods in order to appease the paralyzed and temporarily defeated Otterville family.

As for why the undead demigod did this, it was obviously out of concern for the remaining Northern Horn Army. This does not mean that he will give up attacking the Hauteville family. After all, it is well known that the undead born from the body of the Norman extraordinary, who is known for his physical strength, is more powerful than ordinary undead and is more suitable to become an undead. source of troops.

Seeing the sudden change in everyone's expressions, Geta narrowed his eyes slightly and took the opportunity to say:

"Because of this, there is absolutely no possibility for us and the undead to live in peace. In other words, even if there is, it is impossible for us to depend on the other party's illusory thoughts for the future survival of our family."

"But even so, we don't have the power to restrain the opponent's demigods." Someone said hesitantly, "Since the death of Sir William and Sir Robert, there are no extraordinary forces with demigods around Sicily except for the Kingdom of the Undead. ”

"No, there is." Geta immediately denied his statement, "Among the four major bloodline routes of the undead system, there is a bloodline that does not rely on creating and driving undead to fight. Therefore, we can cooperate with them with confidence. "

"You mean..." After her reminder, someone finally reacted.

"The Vampire Clan? Is it... the Pure Blood Hermitage?"

"Yes, it is our pure-blood hermitage." From the secret room behind Geta, a person came out again, showing a ferocious and evil smile.
