Blue Sword

Ask and Peggy stayed in the hotel like this for four days.

Go back to your room to sleep at night, and practice in the underground training ground during the day. During this period, new mercenaries kept coming to challenge him, and then they were knocked down mercilessly. There is no way, with the strength of Asker's professional player, it is not easy to deal with these mercenary NPCs who are not even level 1.

Paige's digestion of Flesh I's extraordinary qualities also accelerated greatly during this period. Although she still didn't understand why Aske accepted the challenge of these mercenaries, did Aske also have extraordinary qualities that he had not digested in his body? Need to be transformed into physical strength in actual combat?

But since Asik didn't say anything, she didn't ask, she just quietly sorted out the combat experience she had learned these days.

On this day, Ask went to the blacksmith shop early in the morning and took back the customized chain armor. Peggy put on this all-steel ring mail armor and looked left and right in front of the mirror, feeling that it looked a bit unsightly.

"If it's too ugly, you can wear a dyed cotton armor," Asker said, "like the one I'm wearing."

"Just put on the black robe." Peggy said there was no need to spend any more money.

"Let's go." Ask said.

Arriving at the underground training ground, many mercenaries were waiting there early in the morning. Then screams and groans rang out again on the training ground, and challengers were constantly being knocked out or knocked to the ground. Soon there was no one standing on the field, leaving only the onlookers on the sidelines looking at each other.

Ask walked up to the female warrior. This girl was not only the first person to initiate sparring, but also the most diligent mercenary who had recently challenged him. At this time, she had been knocked to the ground again, clutching her abdomen and groaning heavily, obviously unable to stand up.

"I'm very curious." Aske Youyou said, "In recent days, my hands have been a bit heavy. For example, the mercenaries who played yesterday were all injured, so they did not appear again today. But you are the only one who seems to be fine, every day You can all stand up and challenge me. Does your injury not matter?"

"It doesn't matter." The female warrior shook her head, "I have a friend who knows how to heal and will treat my injuries every day."

"Let me guess." Asker said, "Professional treatment? Ordinary doctors don't have the ability to speed up wound healing."

"Military nun." The female warrior said frankly.

"Very good." Asik squatted down next to her, "I plan to form a team, but there are only me and her at the moment. What we lack now is a melee human shield, a mage, and a healer. Through this After a few days of observation, I feel that you have great growth potential and are suitable for development into a human shield."

"Human shield?" The female warrior was a little confused, "Does it mean defender?"

“An excellent defender must not only know how to ensure her own survival, but also try to protect her companions behind her,” Asker said. “Therefore, the defender must have a strong will and a good overall view or learning ability. Ability, and a steady and non-aggressive character. I think you have the potential in this area."

"So you want to recruit me to join your team?" The female warrior understood.

"Not only you." Asik said, "There is also your friend. An excellent healer is also an indispensable role in the team. After all, battle injuries are inevitable. What I want is not the kind of person who is in the operating room of the hospital. , emergency doctors who rely on complete medical equipment to show their talents, but healers who can still use limited equipment to complete emergency treatment on bloody battlefields, remote and wild mountains, or in dark and deep underground ruins. , such roles can only be found among mercenaries."

"If you just recruit me, there is no problem." The female warrior shrugged, "As for my friend, she is not very interested in mercenaries who fight and kill, but..."

She coughed and continued: "You can tell her more about 'remote and wild mountains' or 'dark and deep underground ruins'. She is very fascinated by these."

"Okay." Ask understood the female warrior's hint. That friend of hers... is actually a travel companion who longs for adventure.

"What's your name?" Ask held out a hand.

"Eleanor Weiss." The female warrior took his wrist and stood up, "The surname is inherited from my father, who was the lord of the Holy Solomon Empire, but the name was named after a passing ascetic of the Xiris Orthodox Church. of."

"Your father must have admired the culture of ancient Siris very much," Ask said, "otherwise he would not have named his daughter Siris."

"No." The female warrior shook her head, "He just happened to see Queen Theophano when he was making a pilgrimage to the emperor, and he was immediately shocked. You know, Queen Theophano was married to His Majesty Otto before , was once the princess of the Eastern Solomon Empire. So he immediately became crazy about everything about the Eastern Solomon culture. Even the maids in the castle said hello every morning, and he also stipulated that they must say Καλημ?ρα (Hirish: Good morning)."

"I hope he won't be interested in my name Siris." Ask joked humorously and reached out to shake her hand. "My name is Ask Lepios Achilles. You can Call me Ask. This is Miss Paige."

"Hello, Ask." Eleanor nodded politely, "Hello, Peggy."

The three of them walked towards the outside of the training ground. The onlookers were far away, so they did not hear the conversation between them. At this time, I saw the female warrior and the senior master walking away together. I couldn’t guess that the senior master’s real intention was to recruit people (as for recruiting teammates or apprentices, it was unknown), so he immediately started training. The place was filled with gloom and gloom. Especially the mercenaries who were injured in the past few days and therefore didn't end up today, were so regretful that they wanted to smash the swords in their hands.

Leaving the underground training ground, it was already noon outside, and the sun above our heads was a little hot. Eleanor took off her helmet and visor and hugged her waist to make her breathing easier. Her true appearance is clearly that of a mature beauty of Jamani descent: brilliant and curly blond hair spread out in large waves, a high nose bridge, deep eye sockets, pupils azure blue, and lips that are neither thick nor thin, Raise a charming arc.

In foreign forums, there is a name for this style of beautiful NPC, called "Blonde Sweetheart Persian Cat". Domestic players are much more straightforward and just call them "Yangma".

But why does this NPC look familiar? It seems like I have seen it in a previous game. Ask just glanced at her, then lowered his head and fell into thoughts of memories.

Seeing that the other party was indifferent to her outstanding appearance, Eleanor secretly breathed a sigh of relief. She was determined to inherit her father's castle and title in the future, so she traveled across the continent to hone her martial arts skills only after she became an adult. The biggest headache was being treated as a beauty instead of a warrior. Because of her status as a woman, even many larger mercenary groups were unwilling to accept her. If this swordsman master cared about this, then she would really be crying.

Of course, to Asik, who thinks like a player, it doesn't matter whether the NPC is male or female. Even if it's a dog, it's fine if it can be beaten!

"Tell me about my plan for the team." On the way, Asker chatted with the two girls, "You also know that I am going to form a team. My team positioning is small but elite, and the members must be the elite of the elite. Of course you We are still not up to this standard, but you can work hard.”

"We will work hard." What else could Eleanor and Peggy say, they could only nod and promise.

"For a small but sophisticated team, a classic iron triangle model is a combat mage," Asker continued. "A human shield to bear the damage, an output to create the damage, and a healer to repair the damage."

"But the iron triangle is outdated. What is popular now is the golden five-pointed star, that is, the human shield resists damage, the mage mainly controls, outputs and bursts, the priest manages treatment, and the command determines tactics. Human shield, control, output, treatment, command, five An individual can support the entire team, which is enough to cope with most battle situations."

"Eleanor, you will be the team's human shield from now on, responsible for bearing the damage; I will be responsible for directing the emergency response; Peggy will be responsible for leading the output." Asker concluded, "We also need a control mage to pull the enemy towards the human shield. I already have this candidate, and I’m very confident about it. Regarding the healing role, what is the specific situation of your friend?”

"She is a college student, leader." Eleanor replied, "Studying at Solomon's St. Mary's Theological Seminary, majoring in military nuns. She will graduate in the second half of this year as a senior. She seems to be preparing for her graduation thesis now."

"Oh, it should be easier for college students to handle it." Asker thoughtfully said, "After all, at this age, you don't have many social contacts."

Following Eleanor, everyone came to the core CBD of Constantinople, which was full of commercial high-rise buildings, large shopping malls and subway stations. Arriving at the entrance of a luxury hotel, except for Eleanor, the expressions of the other two people immediately changed.

Damn, is this person that rich? The most upscale St. Augustine Hotel in Constantinople, with VIP suites priced at ten pounds a day, is the official place designated by the emperor to receive foreign princes and nobles. Will the people who live here be ordinary college students?

"Aske." Peggy asked in an awkward tone, "Are you sure this person is easier to deal with?"

"It's okay." Asik calmed down, "I am also a person with a net worth of a thousand pounds, so I won't be timid in this regard."

Although I have a thousand pounds, I can't afford to stay in a hotel like this...Asker complained in his heart.

"She has a very easy-going personality." Seeing that the two of them seemed a little nervous, Eleanor said quickly, "Don't worry."

Everyone strode into the hotel, and the waiter at the door immediately greeted them, with a hint of vigilance in his polite expression. It was not until he recognized Eleanor that he breathed a sigh of relief:

"Good day, Miss Eleanor, are you here to see Miss Nora?"

"Yes." Eleanor nodded, "Is she in the room?"

"I will notify her personal butler for you." The waiter nodded.

He walked quickly to the counter, picked up the phone and dialed a number. After talking for a while, he hung up the phone and came back and said:

"Miss Nora has finished breakfast. You can meet in her living room. Please come with me."

"What is the identity of this Nora?" Paige finally couldn't help but said, "Is she a noble noble?"

"Her family seems to be in business," Eleanor said. "I don't know whether they are nobles or not."

"Then how much salary do you have to pay her, Aske?" Peggy sneered, "Recruiting a wealthy businessman's daughter as a mercenary? Her usual pocket money can hire an entire mercenary group."

"It seems that I can only impress her with my sincerity." Ask said half-jokingly, "Don't forget that I am also considered a noble in the empire, even though I am from a low-income family."
