Blue Sword

This is not the first time for everyone at Cang Qing Sword to have dinner with their companions’ families.

The last time a similar scene occurred was when she met Eleanor's brother Ludwig. When they first met, they invited everyone to a dinner party. As a result, Eleanor ordered a bunch of expensive dishes, which is a classic case of cheating the brother.

However, even in the high-end hotels within the Holy Solomon Empire, the so-called expensive dishes prepared for the Shinra nobles were far inferior to this banquet in terms of luxury and richness.

Even many of the dishes on the table were unrecognizable. They could only barely tell that this was meat, that was seafood, and that was vegetables... As for the specific ingredients, they had no idea at all.

"Sister Nora." Mia sat next to Nora and asked secretly, "What kind of meat is that red?"

"Those are grilled slices of fire lily," Nora replied.

"What is a fire polyp?" Mia continued to ask.

"The fire polyp is a kind of extraordinary marine creature." Nora said with a smile. "They only grow near the craters of underwater volcanoes, absorbing the surging geothermal heat to maintain their own spiritual growth."

"Isn't it hard to find submarine volcanoes?" Mia was shocked, "How did you catch so many of them?"

Nora was entangled. She felt that she could not explain it too straightforwardly to Mia, otherwise the child's immature outlook on life and values ​​would be corrupted by adults' dirty money.

So she thought for a moment and explained tactfully:

"Mia, do you know Sicily, Sardinia and Corsica?"

"Ah, I know!" Mia said. Because Mastro of the Constantinople Thieves Guild mentioned in the letter he left for her that the swaddling clothes of her baby when she was a child were embroidered with the surname "Cinquemani", which was said to be from the Kingdom of Sicily. An ancient noble surname, "It should be on an island in the south, right?"

"Yes. People who live on these islands are nicknamed 'Sea People' on the mainland. This means that they are very good at swimming and diving, and can easily memorize nearby ocean currents and hydrological conditions. These fire polyps were also caught by them."

Nora cleverly concealed the key role of cash ability in this, explaining that the hired seamen were highly skilled in diving, which was why they were able to catch so many fire zodiacs.

"So, Sister Nora, do I also have the blood of the sea people?" Mia blinked curiously.

So Nora became even more confused. Because the word "sea people" doesn't sound very nice. It actually means "pirate", "mean" and "exile" in Latin. She could only force a smile and said:

"No, the sea people are generally people from the bottom of society. Mia, isn't your surname owned by the nobles? The nobles over there generally don't call themselves 'sea people'."

"Oh." Mia said, "So I am a noble?"

Nora:………………

Today's Mediterranean islands have been occupied by the Normans for many years, establishing the pirate-ridden Kingdom of Sicily. As for those ancient Sicilian nobles, they had probably been killed by the Norman Palermo court long ago.

Of course, she couldn't explain to Mia directly, "Your family is probably all dead, so your surname has also been lost and you can't be considered a noble." She could only touch her head and said with a smile:

"Mia, heroes are not respected by blood, but blood is proud of heroes."

Mia:? ? ?

She suddenly felt depressed. No wonder Rasul advised her and Mel not to seek refuge with Nora and Eleanor. These two sisters talked so loudly that my little Mia couldn't understand them at all. What does "you have to know why you are fighting" and "blood will be proud of heroes" mean! !

Mia closed her mouth sadly and saw Nora's parents, accompanied by Capasilin, walking in from outside the box.

Everyone quickly stood up and saluted. Last time Eleanor's Ludwig was the same generation as everyone, so everyone could laugh and laugh; however, this time Nora's parents are elders, so the etiquette must be sufficient.

Marcus smiled and told everyone not to be polite, indicating that everyone could take their seats again. He glanced around the room and was a little surprised to find that the proportion of women present... why was it a bit high?

In fact, after the information about the Blue Sword Mercenary Group was sent over by the family, Marcus, who was still on vacation, read through it that day. But he mainly checked Aske's information, and by the way, he also looked at the information of Nora's best friend Eleanor, and basically glanced at the rest of the people.

Of course, even if he read through all the information carefully, there are some things that he would not be aware of unless he saw them with his own eyes - this Blue Sword mercenary group is actually made up of beautiful girls. This is simply outrageous.

As a husband, Marcus thought this way, and as a wife, Li Xilia naturally thought of going together with her husband. It's just that she doesn't question the rationality of "why a mercenary group is overwhelmingly made up of women." What she cares about is "why this young man recruits so many women around him."

That is to question Asker's character.

If your daughter’s boyfriend is surrounded by all kinds of people all day long, then the possibility of cheating is greatly increased... No cheating? Why did you find so many beautiful girls to join the group if you didn't want to cheat?

Nora saw the slight change in her parents' expressions, and without even further mind-reading, she guessed that they must have thought of something dangerous, and quickly activated the ability to implant thoughts according to the pre-planned plan.

Then this thought flashed through the minds of the couple:

According to the Holy See, the members of the Blue Sword Mercenary Group have great potential. This potential for high growth has led to them being even collectively evaluated by Raphael as an unprecedented R4 level.

In other words, "all are beautiful girls" is not the common denominator of the members of the Cangqing Sword mercenary group. "Having potential for high strength and growth", the so-called "promising future", is the most important thing for this mercenary group. common characteristics.

And isn't it a very normal thing for a mercenary group to recruit "very potential" combat talents? As for why they are all women...how many R4s are there in the world? If these R4 talents happened to be women, wouldn’t you just recruit them?

After thinking like this (being guided), Marcus and Li Xilia's expressions softened again.

Phew, passed.

Nora breathed a sigh of relief, raised her head again, and saw Medea looking at her with interest.

In the spiritual field of vision, a hidden spiritual tentacle stretches out - Medea sends a communication request to you.

"What's wrong?" Nora agreed to the communication.

"Did you just activate the ability to implant thoughts?" Medea went straight to the point.

"Yes, let Aske leave a good impression on them." Nora replied calmly.

"Really?" Medea was noncommittal, "Then what do they think of Ask now?"

"I think he is very good." Nora smiled confidently and said:

"Very suitable to be the son-in-law of the Licinius family."
