"Mi'er, honey! Look what I brought you to eat...ahhhhhhh!"
Mia, who rushed into the room with food, was immediately startled by Ask standing there:
"Leader of the regiment! Why are you here?"
"I came to see what good things you did." Asik said slowly.
"I..." Mia hid the food behind her back, "This was given to me by the chef in the kitchen!"
"Oh, I guess I gave it to you without knowing it, right?" Aske said.
Mia:………………
"Then, I'll give you a little at most!" She reluctantly took out a box of candied fruits and forcefully stuffed it into Aske's hand, "Shut your mouth, you don't know anything!"
What is this? Why do you think I will be bribed by your food?
Asker couldn't laugh or cry, so the hardest thing to understand was the thoughts of this little girl. It was impossible to guess.
"It's like this..." Asike told the two of them what happened, and the two little girls were stunned for a while.
"So Ask, are you finally going to start killing demigods again?" Mi'er asked.
"What does it mean to reset?" Asked Asik.
"Didn't I kill him once in Constantinople last time?" Mi'er reminded him, "I told Mia, but she still didn't believe it."
"Last time it was a super long-distance sneak attack, and the other party accidentally lost control in order to protect Governor Venis. This time the situation is completely different..." Asik tried to popularize the meaning of "killing demigods" to the two of them.
Something unreliable and dangerous.
"Can't we attack from a distance this time?" Mia asked curiously.
"Of course not." Ask said, "Mi'er has already tried it, right? Bullets can't penetrate the opponent's defense at all."
"But doesn't the leader have the Nine Swords of Cheating?" Mia asked again.
"It's the Nine Styles of Stars." Mi'er said.
"Then you can defeat demigods as long as you cheat, right?" Mia said, "Shouldn't demigods be able to cheat?"
Ask was speechless.
He didn't know how to explain to the two little girls that "you can't defeat a demigod with the Nine Star Styles". He blamed himself on the fact that the image he had established before was too tall and he was already almost a god in their minds.
To emphasize how dangerous demigods are now is to slap yourself in the face.
"Let's not talk about this anymore." Asker mentioned the next thing, "When the civil war in the empire is over, the emperor will go south to conquer Italy."
"Why does the emperor want to attack the Holy See?" Mia asked curiously, "Which side is good and which side is bad?"
"Eleanor's family is on the emperor's side." Mi'er added.
"Then the Holy See is bad." Mia said, "Can the emperor's army defeat the Holy See?"
"No way." Ask said.
"Then we shouldn't fight." Mia said, "Why should we fight a losing war?"
Ask was speechless by what she said, and after a while he said: "Because we have accepted the mission and want to investigate the targets in the emperor's camp, we must join the emperor's camp."
"Is it okay to just investigate and not fight?" Mia asked again, with so many questions that she almost looked like a "little Eleanor".
"I'm afraid not." Ask said, "When we investigate the identity of the other party, if it is exposed, the other party may gather the emperor's men to surround us in order to kill people and silence them."
"So the safest way is not to alert the enemy for the time being. When the situation is at its most chaotic, we can then take advantage of the situation, find out who is behind it, and take advantage of the chaos to escape."
It's okay to take advantage of the chaos and escape... Both little girls had a headache because this tactic sounded complicated.
No matter, let these adults care.
"I listen to the leader." Mi'er said obediently.
"I listen to Ask." Mia also said.
That's okay, Asker thought for a moment. If this kind of team member is completely free of mind and won't think about anything when encountering a critical moment, he can still show sufficient strength.
After leaving Weisbach Palace, all the team members had a discussion, and Aske basically made clear the main tasks for himself and others next:
Kill this demigod of the Wolf family as soon as possible to end the civil war early, so that the Emperor's coalition can safely wait until the demonic tide comes before marching south.
In this way, at least in the early stage of the Southern Expedition, everyone in the emperor's camp will not have to face the various high-tech equipment of the Holy See, and the difficulty will be much easier.
As the Emperor's coalition forces penetrate deeply into Verona and Lombardy, while the Holy See recovers from the destruction of the demonic tide, its military strength will gradually surpass the Empire. Then, during the strategic stalemate between the two sides, everyone can quietly launch an investigation.
Since the mastermind behind the scenes can influence the emperor's mind, his ability is probably not weaker than that of ordinary demigods. If the other party discovers it, everyone can run away in time and let Nora call someone for support.
Perfect plan.
From this perspective, killing the demigod of the Hidden String early will objectively speed up the end of the civil war, which is also beneficial to Asker and others.
However, compared to the risk he took, only one bottle of Level III potion and one bottle of Level IV potion seemed a little cheaper - at least this was definitely not the bottom line of price that Rasul could accept.
"Add this sword to the reward." In the secret room, Asik put the Dragon Bone Sword on the table and said.
"This is the only long sword made of dragon bone in the world." Rasul said with a frown.
"Similarly, in this world, you can't find another swordsmanship that can penetrate the defense of the Hidden String." Asker chuckled, "Or you can find other demigods?"
Finding other demigods... is of course impossible. Under the upper limit of the demon tide, who is willing to take the risk of consuming spiritual energy and fight to the death with another demigod?
In other words, if he hadn't invited the wonderful Agrippina, Rasul wouldn't even be able to come up with a feasible plan to kill the demigod.
It is conceivable that most of the benefits after killing the demigod have been predetermined by Agrippina, so if Asker cannot get enough benefits in advance, it will naturally be even less possible afterwards.
"Let's do it." Seeing that the plan was about to come true, Rasul certainly couldn't give up at this juncture. He frowned and said, "How about I lend you this sword for 30 years?"
"That's okay." Ask nodded and said, making Rasul finally breathe a sigh of relief.
"Then 30 years later, I will come back to kill this demigod." Unexpectedly, his next words made Rasul almost jump.
"How can this be done? Thirty years... This joke is not funny, Mr. Asker."
"Then you have to admit that what you said about 'borrowing for 30 years' is also a joke." Asker said, "In this kind of extremely high-risk employment contract, the employer has always paid the full remuneration first, otherwise what happens if I
If there are any shortcomings in the execution of the mission, who has the ability to come to you to collect debts?"
"You are too unreasonable." Rasul laughed, "After all, you are an honorary member of our assassin organization. As an assassin mentor, I will definitely not deny you even if I owe others remuneration.
Otherwise, when the time comes, little Mia comes to visit me, and I don’t want to lose face, right?”
"When the time comes, you will definitely say that your regimental commander's injury means that he can no longer use such a heavy weapon." Ask also laughed and said, "Why don't you exchange it for equivalent money."
Rasool:………………
"So my guess is correct." Seeing that the other party was speechless for a moment, Asker said seriously, "The assassination itself still has a certain risk for me."
