Blue Sword

The Holy See chose to launch a holy war at this time, and of course there were corresponding considerations.

One is that the Iberian War of the Dead has ended, and with the recovery of Sicily, the Holy See can withdraw its navy from the western seas and turn it to the Aegean Sea to curb Constantinople's navy from leaving the port.

The second is the stance of the Shinra Empire and Olympia City. As we all know, HRE and the Holy See have never dealt with each other, and both sides want to gain dominance in the mainland. As for Olympia, the extraordinary city at the core of Orthodoxy, it is naturally more wary of the Holy See, and the two sides will never even sign a public agreement.

However, a certain daughter of the Shinra Emperor who could not stand up to him was good friends with a certain daughter of the Licinius family, and the granddaughter of the Lord of Olympia also had a good relationship with them. In recent years, the three parties had miraculously turned into enemies. Being friends - of course, this is mainly due to the rampant paganism in the East and the West, but without this relationship, the reconciliation of the Christian camp will inevitably have many twists and turns.

Third, the trigger for this holy war was the Seljuk Empire's Emperor Suleiman's public declaration that he would transform Hagia Sophia into a domed temple.

This move is tantamount to shitting on the heads of all Christians, so that from Asia Minor to Ireland, from Africa to Scandinavia, all Christians are furious and want the pagans to pay the blood price for this.

All domestic and foreign troubles have been resolved, and the international environment is greatly favorable. If Innocent does not seize this opportunity, he will not be worthy of being the pope. Therefore, it is said that even the Anjou Dynasty and the West Frankish Kingdom, which had been fighting fiercely for many years, were forced to shelve their territorial disputes in the coastal areas at the request of their believers and began to recruit Crusader knights vigorously.

Soon, the envoys from Olympia City stationed in Lusitania, under the orders of the city lord Appilios, found the returning Cyan Sword mercenary group:

"Your Majesty Theodora, Lord City Lord, please go to Olympia City as soon as possible..."

He took out the secret message from the city lord, bowed and handed it to Sheila.

Sheila took the secret letter, confirmed the integrity of the wax seal and the seal, then opened it and read it carefully, then handed it to Aske.

Asker was not polite, glanced at the contents of the letter a few times, and then asked Sheila:

"Do you want to go to Fuguo?"

The envoy below changed his face slightly after hearing this. He didn't know why this guy dared to speak to His Majesty Theodora in such a condescending tone. As a result, Sheila's next answer, which was like asking for instructions, made him even more stunned:

"if you can."

"Well." Asik pondered for a moment, "Then let's go."

Hey, Silla feels something is wrong. Did the leader agree too quickly? Didn't he always want everyone to speed up their upgrades?

She looked at Medea in confusion, and Medea stared back with an intriguing look.

"So how do we get back?" Sheila asked, "Ship? Plane? Car?"

"After Mia becomes a demigod, we will teleport back." Ask said calmly.

Strangely enough, during the half-year overseas, all members had completed the specialization of the remaining skills and were promoted to Level 18... However, the first person to comprehend the final skill and enter Level 19 was not consistent in level. Eleanor in the lead, but Mia.

In other words, all he needs to do next is find a day for Mia to sprint towards the demigod threshold. After she breaks through, the team will have a demigod with space laws.

Just like when the red-haired Otto took everyone to the Abyss Gate in the northeastern ice field, he suddenly traveled thousands of kilometers with just a few seal coordinates skills... As Xiao Mia, who specializes in the law of black holes, in this regard His ability will only be stronger than Otto's.

Regarding Mia's demigod breakthrough, Mier asked the Elf Queen Maya to provide some high-purity wizard stones to supplement Mia's spirituality.

Although the first four team members broke through to the demigods for fun, this does not mean that Mia's journey to the demigods must be easy, and preparations must be made.

During the preparation period, Medea often ran to look for Aske late at night. Even though he would be kicked out every time, he would shamelessly visit again within a few days.

Although Miss Succubus thought she was doing it secretly and was not witnessed by anyone, Eleanor still noticed something strange about Medea when she occasionally practiced the diffusion of will mist (she had the habit of training at night) and couldn't help but wonder. stand up.

So she found Aske privately and asked Medea what she was doing with him every night.

Ask was silent after hearing this, not knowing what to say for a moment. Seeing that he was silent, Eleanor probably guessed some clues and remained silent.

Damn it! Some kind of bad emotion suddenly rose in his heart, and it felt like Eleanor would pull out the hatchet with her concentrated will in the next second and cut him into seven or eight pieces.

"After helping Sheila regain Constantinople, we will probably all be demigods." Asik suddenly changed the subject and said, "Then we will go fight the bronze dragon."

"Then...you're leaving, right?" Eleanor asked sadly.

"Yeah." Asik nodded.

Sure enough, Eleanor's mind was immediately attracted. If Asker chose to be with Medea in the end, Eleanor asked herself that she could only wish them well. But at least I can see the leader occasionally for the rest of my life, which is pretty happy to think about (referring to joy in suffering).

However, if Ask never returns, then for the people in this world, it will be almost the same as death... no, it is worse than death. After all, the dead can be summoned by the necromancer, and leave the essence and nature of this world. Being erased is no different.

"Ask." Finally, Knight Ji summoned up the courage and asked, "Can you..."

"You're not leaving, are you?" Asik smiled bitterly.

You're not the first to ask this question, and you probably won't be the last to ask it.

"No." Eleanor was heartbroken, but she could only mutter against her will, "Didn't I say it before? If you want to return to your hometown, I will support you..."

She lowered her head, letting her blond bangs cover her eyes, and closed her eyelids hard - she was afraid that tears would fall.

"Oh, I remembered." Asker also recalled that night on the balcony of Weisbach Palace, when Eleanor once said that she would support his decision to return home.

Thinking about it carefully, it seems that only Nora and Eleanor in the team have expressed their willingness to accept his choice to go back?

However, Nora probably made some kind of compromise out of no choice, which is inseparable from her own meek temperament. And Eleanor, a girl who dared to love and hate, and never let go when she knew what was right or wrong, would actually support his return, which really surprised Aske.

As for whether Eleanor liked him or not, the deep kiss under the sea on the way to the Iberian Peninsula had made it clear.

If the current relationship between Asker and Medea was about to deteriorate, then for Eleanor, he only had pure pity and guilt.

well.

"If you can, do me a favor?" Ask asked.

"What's the deal?" Eleanor wiped the corners of her eyes silently and raised her head.

"Well, it's when we fight the Bronze Dragon, or after we fight the Bronze Dragon." Asik whispered, "If someone in our team makes an abnormal, suspected betrayal move..."

"Please help me stop her."

Eleanor was slightly startled when she heard the words, and then immediately remembered the "betrayal" prophecy made by Mia from the future when the ectoplasm tree mutated, and couldn't help but said quickly:

"Ask, you mean..."

"I'm just saying what if." Ask looked out the window with some regret, looking at the end of Lusitania's endless sea of ​​trees.

"...Anyway, just in case."
