Blue Sword

The two of them were tired from shopping in the city market.

Looking around, most of the shops around sell Spartan weapons, armor and fitness equipment. There are almost no clothing stores or dessert shops that girls particularly like.

So Medea became a little interested and found a restaurant to sit down.

In Spartan restaurants, apart from some dark dishes, the only acceptable dishes are grilled lamb ribs, cheese balls and wine.

After ordering one of each of the three dishes, Medea put down the menu and narrowed her eyes to look at Ask.

stare.

"There are flowers on my face?" Ask asked, "Why are you looking at me?"

Medea said: "Don't make any noise, I'm reading minds."

Ask:………………

"Did you read the answer you wanted?" After a moment, Ask asked boredly.

"I read it," Medea said with a smile.

"Ah! They actually ate together!" On the street outside the restaurant, Peggy stared at the two people sitting by the window, so angry that her silver teeth almost broke.

"Stop making noise!" Nora reminded her quickly, "All the passers-by around here are looking over!"

"No!" Peggy said and was about to rush out, but was held back by Nora, "Look."

The two girls looked intently and saw the table in the restaurant. The world between them that made them extremely uncomfortable was over.

"Haha, Captain Aske, I didn't expect to see you here again." Andrea walked over from the opposite table and laughed boldly, leading Heman over, "We also just ordered. Do you mind sharing a table?”

Medea wanted to say "I mind", but Asik had already spoken:

"It doesn't matter."

So Andrea and Herman sat down at the table, while Medea moved her position next to Aske with a cold face.

"Captain Asker." Andrea complimented, "You have returned with a full load this time. Although there are only nine members of the Cangqing Sword, they are all elites and can defeat such a beautiful enemy in this sudden change." Even our Iron Cross is impressed by their achievements."

As expected of the leader, this guy really knows how to talk. Asker thought to himself, and knew that the other party could say such beautiful words because he had no grudges and was seeking something from himself.

"Then 340 silver marks." Asker said bluntly.

Andrea and Herman were stunned when they heard this, and then they realized that the other party was giving a quotation for snow monster materials.

Hey, didn't we already agree on 380 silver marks each when we rescued us from the avalanche?

Of course, both of them are veterans in negotiation, and they are not ignorant enough to ask the other party why they lowered the price. Andrea sighed in her heart and said with a smile:

"Okay! Captain Aske is really quick to talk, and I will record this kindness with the Iron Cross!"

"It's okay." Ask waved his hand, "Just making friends."

Poof! Medea, who had been suppressing her expression next to her, finally couldn't help laughing.

This smile suddenly woke up Herman, and he quickly poked Andrea under the table.

Andrea originally wanted to give a few more enthusiastic compliments and praise the other party's refreshing and heroic spirit of lowering the price, but when Heman poked him with his finger, he immediately realized that something was wrong.

After thinking about it carefully, his heart immediately began to turn upside down:

Damn it! Isn't 340 silver marks the highest price we could have paid for the Yeti materials?

I bought the materials from the other party at the most expensive price, and I still have to thank the other party for lowering the price? What the hell kind of logic is this!

Before Andrea could calm down, Heman had already figured it out.

It was a fact that the girls of Cang Qing Sword saved everyone from the avalanche, so Andrea increased the price to 380 silver marks. The premium was naturally to repay the other party for their life-saving grace.

As a result, now that people are saying that there is no need for a premium, even if the life-saving favor has not been returned, maybe the other party has other demands for Iron Cross and wants to exchange this favor for something else, so he took the initiative to say that there is no need to increase the price.

As for Andrea's compliment later, it was just because he didn't have a clear mind.

The price of 340 marks is completely expensive, okay? In the normal black market, the materials for Frost I usually only cost about 200 marks.

This guy actually regarded the other party's price reduction as a favor. It can only be said that the reaction arc is really a bit long.

Andrea woke up and was almost speechless with embarrassment. Herman saw this and could only take the initiative to smooth things over.

"To be honest, 340 marks is not cheap anymore. If our steel cross was not in urgent need, we would definitely not agree to this price."

"Captain Aske, if I'm not wrong, you actually know the purpose of our collection of this batch of materials, right?" He asked with a smile, a little tentatively, "I'm personally a little curious, where did you come from? How did you get this information?"

Asker didn't speak, and just pointed at Medea casually.

Heman was stunned for a moment, and suddenly burst into tears in his heart.

This mind-reading ability is too foul!

The dishes were served by the waiter, and Asik began to concentrate on enjoying the barbecue.

Medea was angry and didn't say anything. She just used her knife and fork to cut the meat and bones on the plate, as if it were Ask's face.

Andrea and Herman also ordered. At this time, what was placed in front of them was a plate of roasted goat meat, a bowl of goat milk, and a plate of mysterious black liquid of unknown content.

"Did you order this?" Andrea pointed at the plate of black liquid.

"No, I remember I didn't order this." Herman was a little curious, so he took a spoonful of it and put it into his mouth.

The moment he entered, his expression almost convulsed.

The fishy smell of pig blood, the sourness of old vinegar, mixed with the strong salty smell of an unknown amount of salt, made him immediately have the urge to gag.

However, he resisted and did not spit it out. He just clenched his teeth and held it in his mouth. He tried his best to raise his eyebrows and stretch his cheeks, making a satisfied expression of "very delicious" and "all warm after drinking", pretending to go. Scoop a second spoonful.

"It tastes so good?!" Andrea observed his expression and immediately became interested. She picked up another bowl and filled half a bowl for herself, then raised it to her mouth.

Seeing him pick up the soup bowl, Herman quickly spit out the liquid in his mouth, grabbed the goat milk on the table and started rinsing his mouth.

"Pfft!" As soon as the dark soup entered his mouth, Andrea squirted violently. It was Aske's quick eyesight and quick hands that quickly removed the plates he and Medea were serving on, so that they were not affected by the mysterious liquid.

"Sorry!" Andrea coughed dryly and then immediately turned his gaze to the table, as if he was looking for an antidote. "Where's the goat's milk? Where's that big bowl of goat's milk?"

"Ah, I've finished drinking." Herman put down the bowl expressionlessly, it was already empty.

"I'll fuck you to death!" Andrea was so angry that she grabbed his collar and stood up, but couldn't help turning her head and retching again.

"What plans does Iron Cross have after this mutation ends?" Ask interrupted the farce between the two.

Unable to bear the desire to vomit, Andrea rushed to the toilet. Herman, who had recovered, thought for a moment and explained slowly:

"After acquiring your snow monster materials, we will immediately go to Lübeck and hand over these materials to the Iron Cross headquarters."

"Ah, that's great." Ask said with a smile, "The next destination of our Blue Sword is also the Holy Solomon Empire. Why don't we go together? After all, there is some turmoil in the Shinra Empire, and the two servants When the corps is together, we can take care of each other.”

Herman immediately understood that this was to use the reputation of the Iron Cross Mercenary Group to reduce the risks that may be encountered during the journey. But he hasn't heard of any unrest in the country...

Just when he was puzzled, he saw a Steel Cross mercenary hurriedly walking in from the main entrance of the restaurant, his eyes quickly scanning the whole place. When he saw Herman here, he quickly ran over and whispered to Herman eagerly:

"Deputy Commander Herman, a civil war in the empire is about to break out!"
