The so-called "soon to be the son-in-law of the Licinian family" must be Nora's bluff. Even if Medea didn't use her brain, she could tell with her chest that Asker was definitely not that kind of person.
Of course, this didn't make her feel at ease.
After all, this is Nora's territory. If she compares her feelings with others, Medea thinks that the other party may take advantage of the home field and play some shameful tricks, such as cheating on marriages... Just thinking about it makes her feel a little uncomfortable.
.
She looked at Aske again and silently activated her mind-reading ability. Some superficial thoughts were flowing on the surface of the leader's mental body, which were chaotic and of little value for reading. This meant that although Aske was politely responding to Nora's parents at this time, in fact,
I also felt very bored.
Next to her, Mia's mental activities were all about eating this and that, and Hildelife was almost the same. In fact, these two idiots had already put their ideas into action, and they were the two who enjoyed the most at the table.
Peggy sat next to Ask, quietly listening to the conversation between him and Nora's parents, looking well-behaved and docile. The surface of her mental body was smooth, indicating that her mind was empty at this time, and she was in a daze.
Sheila sat opposite Nora's parents and listened calmly without saying a word. She only occasionally interjected a few words. The thought running in her heart was how to establish a good relationship with Nora's parents so that she could gain access to the Licinius family in the future.
support.
Medea sneered in her heart. Sure enough, Theodora is on Nora's side, just because her family is rich? It's really very realistic... Fortunately, my dear Aske is not such a person.
.
Mi'er sat next to Medea and remained silent. Recently, the half-elf girl spoke less and less, and her presence in the team became increasingly thin.
But Medea knew what she was actually thinking about for a long time and couldn't sleep. If Nora didn't have the habit of reading the minds of people other than Asker, I'm afraid the relationship between Mier and Antichrist would have been exposed to her long ago.
.
The remaining people are Nora and Eleanor. Unfortunately, these two are the subjects that Medea cannot read.
Sure enough, these two people and I can't get along... Miss Succubus was thinking in her heart, and the knife and fork in her hand slowly turned between her fingers.
As the gist of the manipulation law, the most basic thing is to have a full understanding of the surrounding environment and the conditions at hand before formulating the next manipulation strategy.
Now it seems that Nora and Eleanor will undoubtedly be his biggest love rivals in the future. It is obvious that Theodora cannot hope for this, so she should try to win over the remaining people.
Hildafa and Mia are almost effortless. As for Mier, it may be a little challenging, but of course it's not difficult at all. Reasonable people are the easiest to deal with. Just tell the truth and make sense.
Paige is in more trouble. After all, this guy only has the leader in his eyes. If he talks to her about the alliance's confrontation... I'm afraid she won't be able to understand or accept it.
Alas, it would be great if I could understand one or two skills of manipulating the laws. It wouldn't be so strenuous now.
Regarding the follow-up promotion, Medea once asked three losers in the team. The answer of Paige and Eleanor was "impulsive". Most of their skill understanding came from sudden epiphanies under violent fluctuations in emotions.
of.
This method is undoubtedly not suitable for Miss Succubus, because she is a more scheming "calm type". To make her blood boil... unless someone wraps himself in a quilt and lies on the bed in her bedroom
superior.
Asker suggested that she read some similar books, such as "Hypnosis", "Psychological Manipulation", "Eighteen Techniques of Interrogation", etc. Of course Medea is also trying, but the effect is not yet known.
She absent-mindedly stirred the lobster shell with her knife and fork. Across the table, Nora's parents and Asker were chatting more and more animatedly. Nora's father, Marcus, in particular, seemed to be very interested in Asker's rich past experiences.
You must know that in this world, mercenaries are almost synonymous with "illiteracy". After all, who among the highly educated adults can't imagine the days of licking blood with their heads tied to their belts?
However, this is not the case for the young man named Ask in front of him. First of all, he is a nobleman of Constantinople. He was born in the Achilles family of the Eastern Luo Empire in the Fourth Age. He can barely be said to be comparable to Licinius.
The family is well matched.
Secondly, the other party's conversation also won Marcus' favor. It can be seen that this is not a rude mercenary with more muscle than brain capacity. Instead, he is more like the well-educated mercenary Marcus has seen in his family.
Educated and energetic young people.
Not only does he have an extremely thorough understanding of the situation in various countries on the mainland, but he also has mature experience and methods in managing the team. Without Nora’s relationship, Marcus might recruit him as a reserve talent for the family, and will follow up.
He was trained as a professional manager and helped Kapacilin manage some business.
But since he wants to run his own mercenary group, there is no problem. Although the Licinius family will not get involved in military affairs, hiring a security company is also necessary. There are already "golden heads" in charge of handling affairs in Italy and Canada, so overseas
Of course, the power can also be developed.
So he cleverly guided the conversation, expressed his optimism for the future of the Blue Sword Mercenary Group, and euphemistically suggested that "I can sponsor you."
It's called sponsorship, but it's actually a share purchase. Of course, if things go smoothly between him and Nora, it's natural that the shares will be turned into a dowry in the future.
"Dad!" Before Asker could refuse, Nora had already shouted in embarrassment, "Can you stop talking about investment? We are not short of money!!"
I brought him here so that you can get to know each other and develop a relationship, not for you to discuss business! Does our mercenary group care about your money?
"Haha, you see, Nora minds." Marcus winked at Asker, who had a dumbfounded expression.
**Liya smiled beside her. Since her husband had a good impression of this future son-in-law, she certainly had no objection. As for Nora's defense of Asker throughout the whole process, she also saw it all, and felt deeply for the two of them.
I have a certain understanding of the relationship.
The couple was in a very happy mood, but the rest of the people present were not in the same mood. Kapacilin held her chin in one hand, looking bored. Peggy was sitting next to Ask in a daze, and suddenly she seemed to realize something.
He looked at them suspiciously, feeling that something was wrong with the atmosphere.
Eleanor stared at the dishes on the table, feeling so bored that she completely lost her appetite. Medea showed a half-smiling expression, staring at Nora with a cold look in her eyes.
Marcus and Maria were certainly not slow people, and they immediately noticed something was wrong with the others present. Just as they were about to speak, a sharp alarm suddenly sounded from outside.
Siren?
Marcus stood up immediately, and at the same time there was a rapid knock on the door.
"Come in!" Before Marcus could finish his words, the secretary outside had already opened the door and came in.
"Your Excellency," he said quickly, "the Holy See has just issued Level 3 martial law! Now the city has entered a curfew, I suggest you go back as soon as possible!"
The so-called level 3 martial law corresponds to a deterrent-level outbreak of violence, followed by wartime control of the entire city of Solomon.
All citizens will be forcibly ordered to stay at home and not go out. Even members of the Licinius family have to communicate with the Holy See when traveling, which is very troublesome.
"What's the reason?" Marcus asked in a deep voice.
The secretary did not answer for the time being. The electronic retina of the prosthetic eye had a waterfall-like flow of information. After about 30 seconds, he spoke:
"Your Mightiness."
"The hour hand of Giotto's clock turned 15 degrees clockwise!"
