Nora, who left Hearthfire Island, looked at the ruins in Solomon City and felt quite unexpectedly.
Thanks to the mysterious operation of the Banshee King Minerva, the ectoplasm tree in the urban area has completely disappeared, and the high-dimensional creatures have also disappeared, leaving only a ruined and messy scene.
But people can eventually rebuild their new homes on the ruins.
She thought with some relief, then saw the Templar knights who were maintaining order running over in a hurry.
"Miss, you can't stay here." The leading Templar didn't seem to recognize her identity and advised, "This is a mutation restricted area, and there may be unknown dangers remaining. We need to clean it up comprehensively.
Please leave as soon as possible."
"Okay." Nora nodded and walked towards the Lateran Palace.
The mutation caused by the ectoplasm tree has disappeared, and the originally eroded citizens have returned to normal. At this time, they are walking on the streets as if nothing happened. There are still traffic bans in some neighborhoods, but some brave people have slipped out of their homes.
The passing Templars just pretended not to see it.
Nora passed by one of the blocks and saw a large group of citizens using shovels and crowbars to knock down the barricades blocking the street, and then they all cheered.
A peaceful world without mutations... how wonderful.
She thought quite contentedly and couldn't help but smile.
At the gate of the Lateran Palace, she saw her brother, Bishop Varian, talking with another cardinal.
"...The Hauteville family took advantage of the sudden change in the Holy See and invaded the entire territory of Sicily..."
"...It is said that two demigods came with the army..."
"...Now that the level limit has reached 20, the power of the demigods has never been greater, and the Holy See has decided to negotiate peace with the Palermo Palace..."
"...Not only that, I'm afraid that the Holy See will start to go on the defensive next, and the international political situation will be in chaos..."
"Brother!" Nora shouted.
Seeing his sister coming, Bishop Varian quickly made a stop gesture, and then asked with a smile on his face:
"Ask, what did he say?"
Just last night, Varian conveyed the intention of the Holy See through Nora, intending to attribute the smooth quelling of the ectoplasmic tree mutation to the Blue Sword Mercenary Group, and focus on publicizing it next
.
On the one hand, this credit does belong to the Cangqing Sword people; on the other hand, it is a reflection of His Majesty Innocent's political views - due to the rapid rise of the demonic tide in recent years, the balance of power between the technological camp and the extraordinary camp has been gradually broken.
The Holy See urgently needs to find new strategies to contain the extraordinary.
This is Innocent's brand-new strategy that can be called "whimsical", finding a transcendent person to lead the Holy See.
Since recorded history, there have been a total of six rising cycles of demonic tides. The first one almost severely damaged scientific and technological civilization, knocking the Zentraedi technology that humans were originally capable of interstellar colonization into almost directly back to the Iron Age.
The second time was almost the same as the first, letting humans understand that demonic tides are a cyclical phenomenon, thus triggering a wave of research into extraordinary powers in various city-states.
Most of the current knowledge system about extraordinary beings was researched at that time. For example, the famous "If you don't become a demigod, you will eventually become a mortal body", which greatly enhanced the motivation of human beings to turn to the path of extraordinary people.
Lv.15 is the concretization of laws, which can turn invisible laws into tangible entities, thereby greatly enhancing the power of law skills; Lv.20 is the weaving field, which can turn the tangible self into invisible laws, thereby achieving a certain goal.
"symbiosis with the law" in this sense.
As long as the law does not die, I will not die. Unless you can suppress my domain, you cannot completely destroy me.
Of course, the amount of spiritual energy consumed in the weaving field is also quite astonishing. Therefore, in professional leagues, e-sports players usually use it with caution as the ultimate ultimate move.
In the PVE game world, since the strength of both sides in most battles is unequal, the demigods open their fields and act unscrupulously.
As soon as the law is combined and the domain is opened, you will first take on the form of an immortal law. Unless the opponent is also a demigod and suppresses it with a domain of the same level, there is no way to defeat him.
Therefore, when the upper limit of the demon tide reaches Lv. 20, and the demigods can freely open the realm without worrying about spiritual loss, it means that the strength of the extraordinary camp has reached a critical point, and it is no longer possible to kill half of them with a large-yield nuclear bomb.
It's God's time.
According to historical practice, the science and technology camp will huddle up at this time, praying that when the next round of demonic tide comes, they will not be wiped out by the extraordinary camp who takes the opportunity to sneak attack. However, this time Pope Innocent proposed a new idea called "Teacher"
"Barbarians develop skills to control barbarians"... In fact, it is to cultivate demigods who are pro-Vatican to ensure that the Holy See can successfully survive this period of weak strength.
The position of this demigod has been designated as Miss Nora of the Licinius family. Taking advantage of this attack to quell the mutation of the ectoplasm tree, it is just a good time to gain a round of prestige for her.
"Asker said that it's okay to publicize our achievements, but he has been very busy recently and has no time to attend any events." Nora was also a little helpless. Although the Licinius family had high expectations, Asker was obviously not at all interested in this.
not interested.
"It doesn't matter." Valian said it was a good thing that he didn't come, "We only need one of us to serve as the representative of the Blue Sword and attend various activities with His Majesty in the next period of time."
"Sister, this person has decided to be you!"
"Me?" Nora was shocked when she heard this, "Isn't this bad? I'm not the leader!"
"What does that matter? The masses don't care who is the leader of the Blue Sword. They just need a superhero to boost their confidence." Varian said without hesitation, obviously he already had an idea.
"Sister, you are definitely a suitable candidate for this. I remember you seemed to have won an award in a host competition before?"
"That was when I was in kindergarten!" Nora stamped her feet anxiously, "I can't do it, really! What if I get on TV, how will everyone in the group see me?"
"If you are worried about this, you can go talk to Asker." Varian said, "Just ask him to approve you to represent the Blue Sword Mercenary Group, right?"
That's okay... Nora thought for a while and then agreed.
Returning to Hearth Island, she saw Asker training Mia. The latter was probably so stimulated by the adult Mia that she kept shouting all day long, "I want to learn the Ripple Sword", "I want to learn the Law of Black Holes", "I
Grow up." Asik was also speechless.
The first two are okay, but for the last one, are you serious about asking me? I’m not Doraemon!
"Hey, Nora is here, she must have something to do with me." Asik said this, got rid of little Mia's continued entanglement, turned around and asked Nora, "What's wrong? Is it still the same thing your brother said?
"
"My brother wants to push me out as a publicity representative for Cangqing Sword to participate in this celebration." Nora said bluntly, "Of course, it is definitely not suitable for me to go. So Aske, can you..."
"This is a good thing!" Asik immediately said in surprise, "I approved it, and now you will be the image ambassador and external spokesperson of our Blue Sword Mercenary Group."
Nora:………………
"How can this be a good thing?" Nora asked angrily, "Your captain is here just fine, but you ask me to go out and show my face. What kind of thing is this!"
"Nora, don't get excited." Asik comforted her, "Listen to me: First of all, the public reputation of a mercenary group determines whether high-value potential employers will come to you. So reputation is very important.
Bar?"
"Yes, but..."
"Secondly, is it easier for a beautiful and lovely girl to gain prestige in public? Or is it easier for a poor man to win people's favor?"
"But we are a mercenary group!"
"Because we are a mercenary group, there is absolutely no shortage of poor men." Asker said eloquently, "However, beautiful girls are the real scarce resource."
"So, a mercenary group that can afford to hire beautiful girls is naturally a stronger mercenary group, isn't it?"
"This..." Nora instinctively felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't explain it.
"That's why Nora, with your amazing looks, is more suitable to handle public affairs for our team. This is also the area where you can really show your expertise." Asik held her shoulders and said earnestly, "
You have to shoulder the responsibility for the future of the team, Nora!"
"Okay... okay." Nora's pretty face turned red, showing an angry expression that said, "I really can't do anything to you." "Then you have to appoint me as the deputy leader, so that I can go out and introduce myself."
"There is no need for deputy captain. I will appoint you as the honorary captain, equal to me." Aske said boldly.
"Yeah." Nora nodded.
She left helplessly. Ask turned around and saw little Mia shaking her head, imitating Medea's tone and said:
"Oh, you are such a deceitful girl, Aske, you scumbag."
