The second volume is called "Arcane Fury, Generous Elegy".
The wrath of the arcane mage, the lament of the Spartans.
So originally, the Spartan mercenary Rudasius was going to be given a lunch - to die an impassioned death.
But as I wrote, I realized that Aske is an almost invincible protagonist, and I can't even make a move in front of him.
Moreover, there was no reason why Rudasius had to die, so he didn’t focus on portraying his image and let’s spare his life for now.
He will probably appear again in the following volumes, as the leader of the Spartan mercenary group and the leader of the macho group.

Questions about team members:
Someone asked me why I wanted Hood to join the harem group package. All I can say is that Hood didn't join at all. They are part of a temporary staff establishment, not a combat order.
It's probably equivalent to the prop master of an idol group, who doesn't know how to perform on stage.
Will you take off your job just because the prop master of your idol group is a man?
In fact, I understand. You are mainly afraid that as I write, Aske suddenly has a hat on his head...
impossible.

Questions about Vikings:
Some readers may think that Viking pirates are scum and prostitution is a despicable profession, and thus have a negative view of Sidrifa.
So here I would like to share with you some of my understanding:
What Sidrifa admires is not the Vikings, but the so-called Viking spirit.
"Watch the power to survive in this world from the cruel iron and fire."
This is of course related to the circumstances in which she grew up.
What Eleanor advocates is justice and order, because she was born into a feudal lord family, has no worries about food and clothing, and is influenced by the aristocratic spirit.
Nora's family is richer and more privileged, so she has optimism and good expectations for everything in the world.
Hilda Lifa was completely incomparable to these two people. She grew up in a fishing village, her mother was a prostitute, and her father was a passing pirate.
He also suffered a sword disaster at a young age and lost his mother. As an adult, he joined the ranks of pirates, and all the people on the ship were beheaded by local nobles.
In other words, it was not that she actively chose such a life, but that she had no choice from the beginning.
Her resources, social connections, knowledge and vision were never enough to enable her to escape from the lower class of the Normans and stay away from barbarism and killing.
She used to be eager to learn, thinking that if she could read, she would be able to stop being a pirate.
Then the cruel reality immediately cut off her long hair, forcing her to pick up the sword again.
From beginning to end, she has gone through countless hardships, big and small. Even if there is a hint of weakness in her character, she may not survive the day she meets Ask.
In other words, Asker gave her enough resources and gave her the opportunity to contact Nora and Eleanor and understand each other.
Have connections, knowledge, and the power to change your destiny.
She had no choice before, but now she wants to be a normal person.

Questions about Weapon Master:
Some people think that the Weapon Master bloodline is not strong enough.
As mentioned earlier, the weapon master was called the "acrobatic master" in the early version of the game.
It's all fancy and of no use.
However, this is a misunderstanding. Weapon Master actually represents the pinnacle of extraordinary people in the physics department, and is one of the very few bloodline professions that is easy to practice and difficult to master.
When reaching level 10 or above, extraordinary beings of the Weapon Master bloodline have the opportunity to condense one of the superior laws of "war".
At this point, you can start killing randomly and killing monsters without thinking.
The experience from Dark Souls to Assassin's Creed is not nonsense.
Of course, for readers who believe in the theory of Master Fa's invincibility, they will always feel that the Weapon Master is missing something and is not cool enough.
It doesn't matter, Asik is not fighting alone, there are girls around him who will help with cool ultimate moves.
Fire, frost, thunder, storm, meteorite, light, shadow... you can have any color you want, you can make seven-color ball ice cream.

Questions about Volume 3:
"Beneath the Iron Throne, Rivers of Blood" is about the Civil War of the HRE.
It has nothing to do with actual history, please do not associate it with others.
In this game, HRE is the foundry of the Holy See. The Holy See is responsible for providing key components, and the major families in HRE are responsible for foundry manufacturing and producing some low-end industrial products.
Of course, every low-end foundry has a heart to master core technologies.
The Holy See sensed the potential and threat of the HRE, so before Emperor Otto had time to declare war, he rushed to support the Wolfe family of Burgundy and Lombardy, forcing them to go to war with the imperial royal family in advance.
From the beginning of this volume, the perspective shifts to Western countries, and the monetary unit has been transferred from the "Solomon Pound", which was once a unit of weight, symbolizing equal weight of gold, to the silver mark issued by the famous commercial, foreign trade, and financial city-state Venetian (note,
Silver marks are large-denomination banknotes, not coins), and the exchange rate is about 1:2, that is, 1 pound is equal to 2 marks.
In addition, this volume may involve many wealthy families of the Holy Solomon Empire. All of the wealthy families have nothing to do with the families that have appeared in real history. Please do not make assumptions and make associations.
