Blue Sword

Inside the prison.

"Then, it's settled." Malkina said with a smile.

Since the Succubus Queen has gone to Purgatory, Malkina is temporarily responsible for negotiating with other forces on behalf of the next Succubus Queen (Medea).

The content of the negotiation was naturally that all parties would provide shelter to the half-elves in exchange for a share of Lusitania's wizard's stone veins.

Representatives of the forces present include: the extraordinary city of Olympia, the city lord Appilios; the current president of the Pure Blood Monastery, Agrippina; the Weisbach family, the red-haired Otto; Limbo City, Malkina ; and the Hauteville family of Sicily.

As for the Licinius family in Italy, since they belong to the scientific camp, they don't have much interest in the Wizard's Stone... Of course, even if they are interested, it is difficult for the Holy See to express it directly, and most of them will be commissioned from the Hauteville family. Purchasing agent.

Queen Maya looked stunned.

Well, she actually knew from Shirley earlier that the Blue Sword Mercenary Group knew many demigods...

However, she thought they were the kind of wild demigods that she met by chance during mercenary missions. Who would have thought that they were actually these powerful demigods who occupied a single power!

(Actually, there are some wild demigods that I know, such as the Imperial Sword Master Richard Turner)

In this case, she didn't have to worry about anything from the beginning. She just asked Mi'er's best friends to call the parents behind them, and everyone would divide it up.

Divided up...

carve up...

No, no, no, think about it carefully: the Weisbach family of HRE (territory and population), the city of Olympia of Cyrus (supernatural and arcane), the Licinius family of Italy (technology and commerce), the United Get up and rule the world! Are these the Big Three of the Sixth Age? As long as the Big Three form an alliance, they will be invincible!

(The former Triumvirate refers to the political alliance formed by Caesar, Pompey, and Crassus at the end of the Third Age. Any decision that directly led to the ancient Solomon Republic must obey the will of the three giants, otherwise it cannot be enacted. )

So your Blue Sword Mercenary Group is not a mercenary group at all, it’s just a group of young ladies from aristocratic families who came out to relax! No, it seems that the leader Aske is a loner, well...

Maya suddenly felt a little frightened. Fortunately, nothing happened between her and Ask before, otherwise she would definitely become a thorn in the flesh of these young ladies.

And offending them means offending the forces behind them, then Lusitania will be like a small boat about to capsize in a violent storm, and it will be difficult to continue to gain a foothold in this world.

At this time, the demigods had already negotiated on behalf of the forces behind them to divide most of the shares of the mineral veins. This means that Lusitania has fallen into their trap...wrong, it should mean that the safety and survival of the half-elves in Lusitania has been under the protection of these giants.

Seeing that the agreement was finally reached, Queen Maya also felt a subtle sense of guilt, as if she had sold the half-elf at a good price.

But she understands that the world is like this. If she doesn't have the power to protect her own safety, she might as well take shelter from other more powerful forces! You have to know how many weak forces there are on the mainland. They want to devote themselves to powerful forces in exchange for protection, but they can't. In the end, they have no choice but to decline!

But this man... Maya once again quietly looked at Ask, who was sitting in the corner in a daze, with her peripheral vision.

This man, she initially thought he was the leader of the team, now seems more like the spokesperson of the demigods. If the girls didn't all happen to like him, how could the demigods behind the girls have a chance to unite with each other?

But there is no harem in this world! Girls can't always maintain the state of "liking him" without trying to go further or giving up. It would be easy to say if we withdraw peacefully, but if we turn against each other...

She suddenly shivered involuntarily. Ask yourself, if that situation really happens, you will definitely choose to stand by Mi'er unconditionally.

To be fair, if the other demigods made the same choice, then the hostility between the girls would be equivalent to the conflict between the major forces in the world...

It was so fucking terrifying that Maya decided not to think about it anymore, just watching silently as the demigods signed the contract, and then she carefully picked up the pen and signed and stamped her signature at the end.

There are six copies, and each person keeps one copy.

At this time, the demigod Otto, who was the first to sign his name and go out for a walk, had already returned with Peggy and Elder Dillard who had stopped fighting.

Then, the eyes of the demigods in the room focused on this elf elder.

Dillard:? ? ?

No matter how confident he was in his own laws and strength, he could not remain calm under the gaze of the four demigods. The combined strength of the four demigods is not just as simple as 1+1+1+1. With the cooperation and complementarity between different laws, the overall combat power has increased almost geometrically, and it is more than enough to destroy the entire Lusitania.

Seeing that Elder Dillard's face was green and white, he was almost too defeated to speak. Maya saw his expression and knew that she had completely won this political battle. She was so happy that she almost wanted to laugh out loud on the spot.

"Elder Dillard, what do you mean by bringing so many half-elves outside to barge into the meeting? Are you afraid that I will sign some treaty that will humiliate the country and lose my power?" She asked with a teasing and sarcastic tone.

When Dilar heard this, he felt as if he had eaten a piece of shit. Normally, he would still be able to ask His Majesty, "Why did you sign a contract with the outside world without the permission of the Parliament?" But at this time, so many demigods were present, what else could he say?

Whatever you say is self-defeating.

"I..." The elf elder opened his mouth slightly, and then said sadly, as if he had made some difficult decision, "I'm here to ask you to resign."

"Excuse me?" Maya was stunned at this moment, and the other three demigods also showed expressions that were half-smiling.

"Yes, I hope to resign from the position of Elder Advisor." Elder Dillard continued, "Your Majesty, I am already at Level 27, and it will only be a few years before I light the divine fire at Level 30. It is time to withdraw from secular affairs and start to concentrate on my work. It’s time to retreat to the three major planes to prepare.”

Maya:………………

You have the nerve to say it! If you were really going to be promoted to Level 30 soon, why didn't you come over and take the initiative to resign?

Of course, with the wisdom of the Elf Queen, she quickly understood that Elder Dillard was not playing a trick of retreating in order to advance, but really planned to resign.

He was afraid.

Putting herself in his shoes, Maya completely understood the reason for his fear - because the power she had at hand at this time was too terrifying.

What is the concept of four united demigods? In a pagan extraordinary empire like Seljuk, the emperor could only use 4-6 core demigods. To destroy a half-elf conservative faction is almost a matter of seconds.

Even Elder Dillard, who was known for his stubbornness, still chose to save his life first when faced with a critical moment that truly determined life and death. As for the conservatives under him... naturally they are all left to His Majesty to deal with, and they can do whatever they want.

Thinking of this, Maya fell silent. As far as she is concerned, of course she is willing to forgive the other party. After all, although the other party has repeatedly opposed her, these are only differences in political ideas and do not fall into the scope of personal hatred.

If Elder Dillard is killed here, the remaining conservative elements will inevitably become desperate and take risks, and the half-elves who are incited outside will not be able to be appeased.

However... the members of the Cang Qing Sword mercenary group who were framed earlier have personal vendettas against Elder Dillard. Maya couldn't ignore their opinions at this time and directly expressed her stance to spare the other party.

"Your Excellency Ask?" the Elf Queen asked with a smile, "What do you think?"
