Blue Sword

Go back to the Licinius Building and take the elevator up.

When the elevator door opened, the three girls saw Silla standing in the center of the hall carrying a strange backpack.

Ask stood behind her, holding an instruction manual in his hand and carefully studying the dashboard on the surface of the backpack.

Eleanor was sitting on the rocking chair next to her, watching them with interest.

"That's it." Ask said, "I already understand."

“I don’t believe you.” Silla pursed her lips, turned to Nora and shouted sweetly, “Sister Nora!”

"You're back just in time, help me set up this shield."

"Okay." Nora stepped forward, and Asik handed her the instruction manual with a wry smile.

"Well..." Nora read the instruction manual carefully and began to operate the instrument. "First restore it to the factory settings..."

"...Adjust parameters..."

"...The direction of the force should be outward, otherwise it will trap the user..."

"...It is recommended that the range be adjusted to about 1.2 meters, and flexible adaptation to the terrain should be set below..."

"Okay!" Nora put down the instruction manual, "The adjustment is completed and the shield can be activated."

"It's the same as what I studied." Asik said this, coming to Sheila, about to press the button on her belt.

The latter immediately covered his belt with both hands as if facing a formidable enemy: "What do you want to do?"

"It's adjusted," Aske said.

"Then you can't press it." Silla said nervously, "You, please step back and I will press it myself."

"Oh." Ask took a few steps back.

Sheila secretly breathed a sigh of relief and put her hand on the button to press it. Suddenly she raised her eyes and saw Asik's face, and her heartbeat suddenly accelerated unavoidably.

Recalling the wonderful touch brought by the tight embrace before, Silla had some throbbing thoughts like a deer bumping into each other. She quickly turned around and pointed her back towards Asik.

It feels much better this way. Yeah, yeah, I won’t look at him seriously in the future.

Ask:………………

Why do you feel so inexplicably rejected?

"That, Ask!"

Sheila ran off to test the shield. Ask turned around and heard three voices sounding at the same time.

Mier, Nora and Mia looked at each other in surprise.

"You said it first?" Nora smiled.

"Sister Nora, let's talk first." Mi'er said obediently.

"Asker!" They were giving in, and Mia was the first to say, "Let's go have dinner!"

"Oh, okay." Asik saw that the time was almost up and nodded in agreement.

The leader teleported to Fire Island and called out the remaining four girls. On the other side, Nora also called the old housekeeper and asked him to tell the kitchen to prepare dinner.

Since it was already dinner time, most of the ingredients had actually been processed in advance, and the chefs were all on standby. They could start cooking just waiting for Miss Nora to order.

After Nora decided on the meal plan for tonight, the butler bowed and left. Before he stepped out of the elevator door, he saw Mia quickly gesture to him.

housekeeper:? ? ?

He held the elevator door and cast a doubtful look at Mia. While the others were chatting in groups, the latter quietly ran over while avoiding everyone's sight and asked:

"Is there steak tonight?"

"No." The butler smiled, "The meats Miss Nora chose tonight are braised squab with black velvet, pan-fried cod and ham slices, and charcoal-grilled cuttlefish with lemon crab."

"Add a piece of sirloin steak and a piece of filet mignon." Mia said seriously, pretending to supplement the menu for Nora.

"Okay." The butler smiled. He couldn't tell that it was Mia who wanted to eat, but the lady's guests were his guests, so of course this small request could be met.

As the girls sat down, the dining cart filled with sumptuous dinner was also pushed up by the butler.

Everyone is full of praise for the quality of the Licinius family's food. It is true that the meals Nora usually cooks at Fire Island are also delicious, but after all, they are not as good as the professional chef team of her chaebol family.

Especially Mia, with a piece of steak in her left hand and a piece of steak in her right hand, waving the knife and fork like the wind, she almost lost her tongue after eating. Mi'er watched her devouring the food and couldn't help but smile.

The other girls looked at her speechlessly. However, considering that little Mia was still growing, they all tacitly ignored her behavior of starting a small stove privately.

After drinking and eating, everyone found a place to rest casually and did not go back to Fire Island... After all, although the scenery on the island is not bad, we have long been tired of it after seeing it for a year. Instead, outside the window, there are a large number of steel forests, The extremely bustling night scene composed of neon lights and holographic images has a unique and novel look.

Watching ads is like watching short videos and short movies.

"Hahaha! So stupid!" Hildelife couldn't help laughing as she looked at the advertisement for the security system on the screen opposite. A certain unlucky thief was bitten by the owner's dog on his pants before escaping from the yard. .

If this girl sits quietly without speaking, with her fair and delicate face, well-proportioned and tall figure, and pure white long hair, she looks like a classical beauty.

But as soon as she opened her mouth, her natural aura immediately disappeared, and people's impression of her quickly fell from "what a beautiful girl" to "it's a pity that such a beautiful girl is actually a fool".

Mi'er sat next to the swimming pool, looking at Asike hesitantly, her smooth and slender feet swaying uneasily in the water in the pool.

Medea sat down next to her and smiled:

"If you don't know whether you should talk to the group leader, you can communicate with me."

Mi'er said nothing.

"You know what? I can see that you are very uneasy now." Medea looked at the night view of the city outside and said softly, "Sometimes, a person's experience is like a circle, and her vision is like the circumference of the circle. long."

"The more you know, the bigger your circle will be, and the circumference will also increase. The price of expanding your horizons is that you will be exposed to more things you don't understand."

"Even you, is there anything you don't understand?" Mi'er asked in a low voice.

"Yes." Medea smiled slightly, "Whether it is Medea or Camellia..."

"There will always be things that I don't understand and want to confirm." She licked the corner of her mouth subconsciously.

Mi'er was silent for a moment, then smiled bitterly: "Since you are eyeing me, you who can read my mind should already know what is worrying me."

She turned around and looked to make sure that the other girls were standing far away, and then whispered what happened to Rasul. Medea listened to her description attentively, and at the same time judged her words and facts through mind reading. The degree of coincidence is so great that thoughts are racing in my mind like lightning.

"First of all, I'm glad that you are willing to trust me." Medea smiled slightly, "Secondly, the things you are worried about are actually not worth worrying about."

"What do you say?" Mi'er asked.

"First, there are many unknown things in this world, and most of them you will never have the chance to understand in your lifetime." Medea raised a finger, "So, you should first seize the benefits that can be grasped, rather than Concern the dangers you cannot determine."

"Second." She raised a second finger, "No matter what Rasul's true purpose is, at least the benefits he has paid to win over you are real. Of course, I'm sure he must have hidden something from you. The place."

"After all, language is such a tool. The purpose of its invention is not to explain the facts, but to persuade the other party. Clever words, far-fetched words, and avoiding the truth are all to achieve the speaker's intention."

"Then if so, why..." Mi'er tried to ask.

"I said it, because the benefits he paid are real." Medea replied, "Instead of being timid, it is better to boldly take away his benefits and then observe and analyze his true purpose."

"After all, whether you become the next... that, at least the initiative is in your hands now, isn't it?"

"Yes." Mi'er nodded, "In other words, we should continue to follow his arrangements for the time being."

"Yeah." Medea said with a smile, "And don't tell anyone - including Asik - before you make a real decision."

"Why?" Mi'er was puzzled.

"Because Nora can't know about this." Medea gave her a "you know" look, "And our beloved captain usually occupies 99% of Nora's attention."

"That's it." Mi'er understood immediately.

"If you are still worried, the next time you go to see Rasul." Medea made a suggestion, "I will go with you."

"Are you coming with us?"

"Yes." Medea said, "I can also help you take a look..."

“…the true purpose of the Antichrist.”
