Blue Sword

Headache... Better not be hungover next time...

Ask sat up from the bed and subconsciously checked his clothes.

Well, they were all well-dressed, and obviously no one picked up the corpse after being drunk yesterday, so that's okay.

He looked out the window and began to feel dazed.

The reason why the team was brought to the Principality of Bavaria was, of course, completely unrelated to what Medea said about "meeting the parents."

The first is to complete the main sequence of Mier's bloodline in order to obtain Wilhelm's high-level "luck" extraordinary characteristic.

The second is to obtain three magic potions or formulas: "Poison I", "Rat I" and "Night Bat I" from the Hussite rebels.

The third is to find the magic potion or formula of "Life II" and "Spirit II".

In the current team, Aske himself has reached Level 7, and the other girls are basically at Level 5, with only two exceptions.

The "Lord of Filth" chosen by Peggy has been unable to find the corresponding formula because its bloodline sequence includes rare niche sequences such as "poison", "plague", "rat" and "night bat".

Nora chose "Singer of Creatures" because the bloodline itself only contains three sequences: "life", "spirit body" and "mind". Therefore, after reaching Level 3, she must start looking for level II demons. medicine, and Level II potions rarely appear on the market.

As a team, the strength of Cangqing Sword depends on the weak players. In addition, the level limit of Demon Tide has been raised to Lv.10. Levels of Lv.3 like Nora and Peggy are compared to extraordinary. The mainstream of the industry itself is already somewhat backward.

So the next focus is naturally to improve the levels of these two girls.

The source of the potion that Peggy needed, the Hussite rebels mentioned above, were actually mostly native residents of Skolabo in Bavaria, Bohemia, and Carinthia.

These territories were not originally part of the Holy Solomon Empire. In the Fourth Age, this was Hessinia, a frontier province of the Solomon Empire. Barbarians came in waves, and wars were going on every day.

The people who originally lived here were the Boyi people of the Kate nation. Later, the Makmani people of the Jamani nation occupied this place, but it was conquered and annexed by the army sent by Emperor Solomon. When the Western Solomon Empire fell, it was colonized by the Skolabo people who migrated from the east.

The three major barbarian tribes and the Solomons have all taken over, and the native residents here are almost mixed. When the Frankish HRE Empire rose and expanded, this land fell into the hands of the HRE and was divided among the Frankish lords.

As outsiders, the Frankish lords certainly encountered hostility and opposition from the native residents. In this era, it was not a big deal. Those who dared to rebel were directly dispatched to kill them all, leaving only the people who did not dare to resist. They would be assimilated in a few hundred years.

Unfortunately, however, the conflict between the emperor and the Holy See happened at this time, and a civil war broke out in the Shinra, so the independence among the local faction began to rise again.

They call themselves Hussites after the leader of the uprising, Hus, and their political program is to restore Bohemia, resist the tyranny of the Holy Ra Empire, and oppose the rule of the Holy See of Solomon... In short, they are the only two giants on this continent. If you oppose it, the possibility of a successful uprising is naturally very low. The international environment is basically an isolated and helpless situation, and you can only engage in intimidation incidents of indiscriminate attacks and assassinations to increase your sense of presence.

However, there is a saying that Hus, the leader who started this uprising, was not a crazy person in the first place. He himself was the president of the University of Bohemia, and he accidentally developed a method of extracting spiritual materials and preparing potions from the bodies of mice, bats, and common fungi.

At that time, Hus, out of sympathy for the living conditions of the lower class civilians and poor students, spread these magic potion formulas, hoping that these lower class people could become extraordinary people and gain the opportunity to rise in their own class.

This, of course, offends the church. Although according to Hus's proposition, "Toxin I" can be used for medical treatment, "Rat I" can be used for urban sanitation cleaning, and "Night Bat I" can be used for public security management, which can improve the working ability of the poor and help them obtain enough to support their families. living rewards.

However, the Bohemian Church said, "How could a servant of our Lord believe your lies?", so they condemned him as a heretic in the local square and burned him alive at the stake.

Without the restraint of the original leader, the uprisings of radical Hussites in various places were out of control. Together with the three magic potion formulas, they also quickly spread among the Hussite base. The main reasons were rats, bats and fungi. These materials are so common that it is difficult for the church to control the supply.

As long as he can get the formula, Asker can naturally get the materials easily, and then Peggy won't have to worry about the subsequent potions at all.

After turning the information about the Hussite forces in his mind, Asker left the room, intending to ask Knight Commander John about the information about the Hussite assassin yesterday.

"That's a Taborite." John had obviously obtained the identity report of the deceased and explained to Asker, "The Hussites have been divided into two factions. One faction is called the 'Holy Grail faction', mainly composed of local Made up of minor nobles and merchants, it was hoped that local people would gain the same rights as the Franks to become priests.”

"The other faction is the 'Tapor faction', which is relatively more radical. It is composed of a large number of middle- and lower-class poor peasants and lower-class urban residents. They demand to overthrow the rule of the lords and break away from the HRE. The person who assassinated you yesterday was a A rather radical Taborite."

"The question is why he wanted to assassinate me," Ask said. "Do I look like a Frank?"

"We don't understand either. Taborites are usually uneducated and their thinking is very different from normal people. It's not strange to do anything." John shook his head and said, "We were even in a manor outside the city once. Caught a group of Taborites trying to poison themselves."

"They actually poisoned the sheep in the sheepfold. They thought that after poisoning all the sheep, the nobles would eat the meat of the dead sheep without any hesitation and then poison them..."

"I understand," Asker said, "So what you're saying is that there's probably something wrong with this guy's brain."

"That's right." John said, "Maybe he just saw you and me walking together yesterday and thought you were also Weisbach's retainer. In short, we are already investigating this guy's identity, and the results should be available tomorrow at the latest. "

"Yes." Asik fell silent, thinking that he still had to find a way to find the Tabor faction stronghold in the city. With Weisbach's official help, it would be much easier.

"By the way, Lord Asker." John suddenly said seriously, "The two young masters are waiting for you in the study on the top floor to explain the upcoming knight fight."
