Blue Sword

"I didn't say that this matter is without risk." Seeing that the other party was already suspicious, Rasul showed an expression that said, "I really can't hide it from you." He replied, "Of course, at the right time to activate it, as long as your sword If we can hit the opponent accurately as we planned, the Belladonna poison contained in the sword will indeed completely disintegrate the entire spirituality of the Hidden String in half a second."

"After that, the opponent must have lost the ability to fight back. But before that, that is, the half second that the poison spreads, it is not necessarily true."

"Not necessarily?" Asked.

"Yes, not necessarily." Rasul explained, "Because no one knows what life-saving tricks the demigods have."

"If Hidden String had judged that he had suffered irreparable damage the moment he was hit by the sword, and immediately made up his mind to die together, then it would be possible for him to use his domain ability in the half second before his spirituality is quickly exhausted. Fully opened, thus causing fatal damage to you - in this case, Lord Belladonna's Poison should save you, but serious injury is probably inevitable."

"As expected." Asker was not surprised. "And you actually offered 'lend me this sword for 30 years' as one of the rewards for the mission. It was clearly in the hope that if I was seriously injured and couldn't hold the sword, you could It’s a natural idea to throw away the reward. Shameless, really shameless.”

"Look what you said, if I really plan to fall out later, then no matter what conditions I promise you in advance, I can still deny it in the end." Rasul said boldly.

"In front of Lord Belladonna's Poison, how dare you turn your back later?" Ask said in disbelief.

"Okay, I really don't dare." Rasul had a headache. The guy in front of him was simply incompetent. A certain member of the group had a master-disciple relationship with the arrogant Agrippina, which made him uncomfortable. Don't take this matter seriously.

"Let's do this. If you live, this sword will be yours after the mission is completed. If you are seriously injured or die, then this sword will be exchanged for an equivalent amount of money and handed over to your team by Lord Belladonna's Poison. ,How about it?"

"Okay." Ask thought for a long time and nodded in agreement, "But you have to let His Excellency Belladonna Poison bear witness."

"Okay." Rasul readily agreed.

So after hard bargaining, the two finally reached an agreement on remuneration.

At the same time, relying on Rasul's understanding of the original game, Asker can also confirm that the final negotiated price is not Rasul's bottom line - he must have been mentally prepared to sell this keel. The sword was paid to Ask as reward.

Of course, Asker doesn't have to pay every penny. He must push the price to Rasul's bottom line. After all, the two parties will still have a long time to deal with each other.

Therefore, two men with ulterior motives, one with a pained expression of "I have spent a lot of money", and the other with a dissatisfied expression of "barely acceptable", pretended to finalize this cooperation.

Asker also mentioned Eleanor's request, but Rasul said it didn't matter, as long as he could poison the Hidden String, you can do whatever you want afterwards.

The next step is to forward the cooperation content to Agrippina.

This matter will be done by Rasul, and Asker is naturally not afraid of him tampering with the content. After all, Agrippina and Paige are in contact.

While the two men were having dirty secret room negotiations, Eleanor on Fire Island finally made up her mind.

Although Ask asked her alone to discuss the follow-up arrangements, which made her feel touched and satisfied by being taken seriously. However, thinking of her best friend Nora, Eleanor finally believed that this matter should not be done either emotionally or rationally. Hidden from her.

After killing the demigods, the Cang Qing Sword mercenary group will join the emperor's coalition camp. From Eleanor's point of view, Asker did not choose to announce the matter in front of the team, but instead discussed it with her in private, because he was also concerned about Nora's personal emotions.

After all, the Licinius family's base is in Italy, and the Blue Sword mercenary group chose to stand on the opposite side of the Holy See this time. How will Nora, who is caught in the middle, deal with it?

After thinking about it, and considering that Asker did not ask for confidentiality, Eleanor decided to talk to Nora in private.

Even though the Weisbach family and Cang Qing Sword will join the army that invades Italy in the future, she still doesn't want the political choices of both families to jeopardize the pure friendship between herself and her best friend.

After walking around the fire island several times, Eleanor finally found Nora in the kitchen - the aroma of soup stock spread throughout the kitchen, and Nora in a woolen apron stood beside the pot, stirring happily. soup, humming a pleasant tune in his mouth.

"Nora?" Eleanor called to her.

"Ellie." Nora turned around and noticed keenly that she seemed to be hesitant to speak. She subconsciously wanted to read her mind, but she held it back and just smiled and asked:

"What's wrong?"

"I have something important. After thinking about it for a long time, I still think I should tell you." Eleanor said seriously.

Seeing her showing a rare solemn expression, Nora suddenly had an extremely bad premonition.

"What's the matter?" She clenched the spoon nervously and asked, "Is it about Aske?"

It turns out you guessed it, yes, you can read minds... Eleanor was relieved and smiled sadly:

"Yes."

In an instant, Nora felt her heart twitching suddenly.

Paige is like this, Medea is like this, and now it’s her best friend’s turn? Ask, Ask, you are so...

Nora felt strong resentment deep in her heart, but she was a psychic after all. She quickly noticed the dark atmosphere in her emotions and quickly activated her abilities to nip it in the bud.

"It's okay." She shook her head slowly, trying to keep her voice from trembling, biting her lower lip, "Ellie, if it has to be like this...it's okay, I, I can quit..."

"Quit?" Eleanor's heart tightened violently. Is Nora going to quit the mercenary group?

Because the leader chose to side with the empire, and she didn’t want to be an enemy of her family in Italy, so she had no choice but to quit the group?

"Don't be impatient, Nora." Eleanor said anxiously, "I'm going to ask Aske first! See if there are any other ways. Can you don't be impatient to leave yet?"

Method? What else can be done? Are we going to fight to the death for the leadership of the group?

Nora smiled painfully: "Is there any other way? Anyway, let's see what he chooses in the end."

"Ellie, let's make an agreement first. No matter what his final choice is, we will always be friends, okay?"

"Okay." Eleanor was about to shed tears when she said it. After all, there was no room for relaxation between the two families' camps. Asik and the Cang Qing Sword mercenary group could only choose sides. , it is impossible to choose both sides.

And no matter which side he chooses in the end, he will hurt one of the two girls.

"Oh, how could this happen?" Eleanor hugged Nora gently and sighed sadly.

For the first time, I have a close friend in my life, and I have joined a big team family with a sense of belonging. The two joys added together should have been double the joy.

But why does it become like this?
