Blue Sword

The turmoil in the army market was quickly put down.

In this world where extraordinary abilities exist, there is a huge gap in strength between armored knights and ordinary soldiers, not only in terms of equipment, but also in terms of physical quality. Even with hordes of soldiers, it was still difficult to fight against the smaller number of knights.

A stray bullet hit the emperor's head in the chaos. Although it was nothing, it still angered the old man.

So except for the soldiers who were killed on the spot, the remaining more than 600 soldiers who had rebelled and been captured and surrendered were all sentenced to hanging by the angry emperor.

Hundreds of corpses were hung on the gallows next to the military camp, floating in the wind and allowed to be eaten by crows. The original resentment in the army was quickly calmed down - or turned into fear.

The military market was permanently closed, and now both soldiers and knights had nowhere to go. They could only stay in short and narrow tents, chatting nonsense, cursing the emperor, and muttering.

The Blade Knight's spies placed in the army soon recorded an almost overwhelming amount of complaints against the Emperor. They wisely did not choose to report it immediately, but sealed it as a file because there were too many people involved.

If the increasingly suspicious emperor knew about it, he would definitely have a night of long knives and kill people like rivers of blood.

The Cang Qing Sword mercenary group also entered a certain dilemma at the same time.

The clues lead to the Acid Dragon. We have no way to directly investigate this demigod, so we can only use the fantasy dragon Bruno to save the country.

After some investigation, Bruno suspected that the power behind the scenes was far beyond imagination, so he made up his mind to investigate on his own and prevent the Cang Qing Sword from intervening.

"So what are we going to do now?" Medea asked, "Just wait for Bruno to find out the results? Even if there are results, he may not tell us, right?"

"That's right." Aske said, "So we have to introduce more forces to make this matter even more chaotic."

"More messy?"

"Yes."

In the evening, everyone left the military camp secretly. Beside the gallows outside, Aske stuffed a copper coin into the mouth of the corpse with its head lowered.

After a while, the mist slowly rose again, and a small boat slid out of the mist. Appirios and the ferryman disembarked gracefully.

Asker narrated the story in general. The Lord of Olympia listened expressionlessly and said:

"Tell me the time and place of the prisoner's death."

"April 14, around 10 o'clock in the evening." Ask replied, "In the trenches north of Verona."

"Okay." Appirios said in a deep voice, "My opinion on the Acid Dragon is the same as that of the Fantasy Dragon. You should not intervene in the investigation for the time being. Just wait."

"As long as the Dragon of Utopia continues its in-depth investigation in this direction, the Emperor's coalition cannot always be calm. Just wait until the right time and you can act according to your circumstances."

Everyone was also quite puzzled by Appilios's mysterious determination, but soon the city lord took out a bottle of magic potion, causing everyone to shut up in unison.

"Theodora." Appirios said, putting the potion in Sheila's hand, "You need to be promoted as soon as possible."

"The Holy See's offensive will not stop for long. If you really encounter any danger, just like Aske did, stuff the coins into the mouths of the nearby corpses."

"Grandpa will come over."

"Well, okay." Silla nodded vigorously.

"Okay, I'm leaving." Appirios finally said, then stepped onto the boat again, and disappeared into the mist of the Styx with the ferryman.

"It's a Gravity IV potion." Sheila checked it with her spirituality, then turned back and said to Asker.

"Look, Medea, look." Asker sighed with emotion, "This is my elder. Can your mother also learn from it?"

"I already told her that I have no mother-daughter relationship with her." Medea said helplessly.

"Then I can only light wax for her." Asik took out another candle, the one that Malkina gave him, and quickly lit it.

The candle flame swayed in the dim light of dusk, and soon Malkina appeared within the glow of the candle flame.

"So you found the mastermind? The real culprit who affected the emperor's mind?" After quickly checking around to confirm that no one was around, Malkina asked with a smile.

"No, we just hit a roadblock," Ask said.

"Then why did you ask me to come here? To keep in touch?" Malkina smiled sweetly and went to hug his shoulders, but Medea opened her arms impatiently.

After explaining the matter briefly, Malkina folded her arms and held her chin in one hand, thought for a moment and said:

"The Fantasy Dragon is right. Since the demigods whose minds have been infected have been involved, the risk of uncertainty is too great if you continue to pursue it."

"Let's do this. Just wait for the opportunity and wait until the Dragon of Utopia finds out the results."

Malkina's opinion is the same as that of Appilios. She does not recommend that everyone directly pursue the Acid Dragon, and let everyone wait for the opportunity... The problem is that the magic potion must be completed to complete the task! When can I get the magic potion after this task is delayed here? When will the remaining people be promoted to Level 10?

"What if the Dragon of Utopia finds out the result, but keeps it secret?" Ask asked, "Can this possibility be ruled out?"

"Haha." Malkina chuckled, "Actually, not long ago, with your reminder from Ask, I discovered that the emperor had a strange fantasy dragon that went to our place."

"He and..." Ask almost said the word "your mother", "He knows the Succubus Queen?"

"They are both psychic demigods, why don't you recognize him?" Malkina said with a smile, "But he is very hostile. He probably suspects that His Majesty is the mastermind behind it."

"Oh." Asik nodded, "So how did you convince him?"

"Your Majesty told him that we entrusted a mercenary group called Cangqing Sword to help track down this matter." Malkina said.

Everyone:………………

"So the Fantasy Dragon already knows..." Medea said in disbelief.

"That's right." Malkina said with a smile, "He knows that you are pursuing the motive of this matter, and he also knows that Camerica is His Majesty's biological daughter. Since Your Majesty can send his daughter to this mercenary group, to In the camp of the Emperor's Allied Forces, the Utopian Dragon's accusation against His Majesty has naturally been shaken."

"You are taking me as a hostage?" Medea was extremely unhappy.

"Don't say it so harshly. This is just to eliminate hostility and build trust based on a common relationship." Malkina said frivolously, "The Dragon of Utopia cannot trust His Majesty's position and attitude at all, but he unexpectedly trusts you very much. , Lord Asker. It just so happens that your Majesty is willing to give you enough trust because of Medea."

"So, based on us, you have reached an agreement with the Dragon of Fantasy." Sheila was keenly aware of the meaning of her words.

"That's right." Malkina snapped her fingers, and there was an additional scroll in her hand, "Your Majesty is willing to transfer part of the information to the Dragon of Fantasy through your hands; and after the Dragon of Fantasy finds some clues, I am willing to inform you in time so as to achieve the purpose of indirect communication with His Majesty."

"Next, you will be the messenger between us and the Dragon of Fantasy, the bridge for indirect communication between the two parties." She threw the scroll to Asker, "Take it."

"Can I open it and read it?" Ask asked.

"It's up to you." Malkina winked.
