Blue Sword

"You think, Mia's personality that can't be plucked out, how wonderful it would be if she could share some of it with Eleanor?" Medea chatted with Asker through the telepathic communication, "Every time she struggles with moral issues, Question, I’m getting really irritated when I hear it.”

"She is the kind of person who believes in the absolute theory of good and evil." Ask replied, "In her world, there are absolutely clear boundaries between good and evil."

"Although such a person is too stubborn on certain things, in the same team, at least you can trust her and leave your back, right?"

"In comparison, I'm not so trustworthy, right?" Medea asked, "Otherwise, you wouldn't have signed ordinary contracts with them, but you would have signed a soul contract with me. "

"That's because before signing the contract, you and I were temporarily hostile, so I added an insurance policy." Asker said calmly, "Actually, neither the written contract nor the soul contract are the only elements that maintain the team. "

"The most important thing is whether this team can bring enough benefits to everyone."

"It seems that you and I are the same kind of people." Medea chuckled, "Interests are indeed the prerequisite for cooperation. But, apart from interests, are there really no other factors that can maintain a team? For example, emotion?"

"Relationships are unreliable." Asker shook his head, "Brothers who start a business together may turn against each other when they become prosperous, let alone ordinary friends."

"What if it's a girlfriend?" Medea said meaningfully.

Asker:? ? ?

"I'm just giving you an example." Medea said, "For example, if a husband and wife start a business together, it is safer and more stable than if brothers work together."

"Probably because the husband and wife have common property, and the brothers have to take care of their own things after the family separation, so they have to compare money."

"Now you have obtained extraordinary power to win over everyone, just because everyone's level is still low, and they temporarily need you to guide the way in the mysterious world. As the level increases, the corresponding magic potion formulas and materials will also become more and more important. The harder it is to find it.”

"Even you can't take care of the upgrade needs of seven girls at the same time. There will always be a sequence. Those who are taken care of first will naturally have nothing to say. Those whose order is delayed, won't there be any complaints?"

After saying this, Medea sneered and continued: "At this time, they will inevitably think, since the team gives priority to supplying resources to others, why can't I leave the team and work alone?"

"If we act alone, we might be more efficient in finding the ingredients for the potion formula."

"At that time, what will you do to maintain this team? At the same time, provide high-level potion formulas or materials for everyone. Do you have such ability?"

"You mean..." Asik pondered.

"People will stay together for the sake of profit, and then they will separate for the sake of profit." Medea chuckled, "However, if it is a silly girl like Nora, even if you ignore her potion supply in the future, She will also follow you wholeheartedly, right? This is the benefit of using emotions to maintain a team."

"My personal principle is to never bring emotions to work." Asker said seriously, "What's more, relying on emotions to maintain people's hearts is even more unreliable than bundling interests."

"You misunderstood what I meant." Medea said, "Although the Holy See of Solomon advocates monogamy, the laws of the secular world cannot restrict extraordinary people."

"Seljuk men can marry up to four wives. If you work harder in this regard, maybe our team will become a big family. Then who will come first and who will be last? Everyone's interests are Consistent.”

"Are you serious?" Ask asked after being silent for a while.

"No, I'm just joking." Medea's voice echoed in the psychic communication, "I just think this development will be fun."

"A situation like a harem can only appear in novels," Asker said. "It is impossible to happen in reality. Even secret mistresses raised by wealthy children will be jealous of each other, let alone bring it to the table. "

"Yes." Medea said with emotion, "If any woman dares to steal my husband, I will definitely kill this couple."

"The premise is that you must have a husband first." Aske said.

Medea's face darkened and she said, "There will be. The prophet said last time that a lover will appear in my destiny."

"Then he must not be afraid of fire." Ask joked, "Maybe he is a blacksmith or a chef or something."

"Ask, you damn guy!" Medea shouted angrily, "When I get over my male phobia, the first thing I will do is strangle you to death!"

She gritted her teeth and cut off the communication. She stood there with a cold face for a long time before showing a proud smile:

"Are you so anxious to end the conversation? So this is your weakness..."

About ten minutes later, the three girls came back after taking the potion.

Eleanor looked a little tired, as if she had lost too much strength and spirituality in the process of fighting the loss of control.

Mi'er's little face was still indifferent and expressionless, and only Hidliefa was in high spirits, as if she had just had a happy battle, and her whole person was full of energy.

"Ask!" she shouted, brandishing her battle ax, "Come out and challenge me!"

"What?" Ask said, pressing his sword, "After taking Strong X, you found that your physical fitness has become stronger?"

"My strength has at least tripled!" Hildrifa exclaimed exaggeratedly, "You are definitely no match for me now!"

"Then let's try fighting?" Ask said.

"Are you going to stop them?" Eleanor asked weakly.

"Forget it." Nora shook her head, "It's too big...it's better to let her have a long memory."

Sidrifa's eyes were burning with burning fighting spirit. She held the ax in her left hand across her chest and dragged the ax behind her in her right hand, approaching Asik slowly and calmly.

"The height of the left ax is a little lower, and the posture is mainly deception." Asik said while pressing the sword.

"Oh." Hidrifa responded subconsciously, lowering her left arm slightly...and then reacted suddenly and shouted:

"That's not right! We are dueling now, not training!"

"It's all the same to me," Askew said. The girls around burst into laughter upon hearing this.

Hildelifera immediately became furious, charging forward with a half-step and then a small jump, and struck hard with the battle ax in her hand.

Ask, however, simply took a half-step back, dodged her jump attack, and said:

"Did you calculate the distance in advance wrong?"

"I want you to take care of it!" Hidrifa slashed with both arms horizontally, whirlwind slash!

Asker rolled back and retreated sharply, stood up and suddenly thrust, the target was right between Sidrifa's eyes.

His sword path is too high and Whirlwind cannot stop him, he will be stabbed!

Sidrifa judged it in the flash of lightning, immediately stopped the whirlwind attack, and raised her left ax in an attempt to parry.

I saw Asker's sword thrust suddenly stagnant, dodging the battle ax with some weird speed change, and continued to stab Hidliba at a high speed.

Hildrifa quickly retreated and tried to block again with her right axe.

Asker's wrist slightly vibrated, and the angle of the long sword suddenly deflected, barely grazing the top of the ax handle, and piercing Sidrifa's eyes again.

For God's sake, what kind of weird swordsmanship is this! Hilda was shocked and quickly jumped back to dodge.

Asik stepped forward to pursue her, stabbing Hidrifa's throat in the air with her long sword.

She immediately swung the ax and struck down, only to see Ask's long sword move strangely laterally again, avoiding the strike of the battle ax by a hair's breadth, and directly stabbed her left shoulder.

"What kind of swordsmanship is that?" Eleanor was watching intently when she heard Peggy ask next to her with a solemn tone.

"You don't know either?" Eleanor asked in surprise.

"Never seen it." Peggy shook her head. She was the first to follow Asker and was the most familiar with his fighting moves, so she was certain that she had never seen Asker use this kind of swordsmanship before.

"The sword style is very simple, all of them are straight thrusts, and the attack speed is not very fast. But why didn't Sidrifa successfully parry even one attack? It's as if she was deliberately letting go."

"It's not the speed of the sword, it's the timing that's too accurate." Eleanor observed carefully for a moment and said, "Every time he stabs, he changes his move at the last moment when Sidrifa is parrying, so that her The response speed can’t keep up at all.”

"Is this kind of swordsmanship possible for humans?" Paige stared at it for a long time, and finally became horrified.

Hilda stepped back a few steps, blood streaming from her shoulder. Asker's sword hit the gap between her breastplate and shoulder armor, and the pain spread from the wound, which in turn fueled her fighting spirit.

"You have already died once." Ask said calmly.

The thrust just now was just a little further down to Sidrifa's heart - if armor protection was not taken into consideration.

"Come again!" Hildrifa yelled.

She sank down and rushed forward quickly, slashing the battle axes in her hands back and forth.

This was the "Praying Mantis Cut" that Ask had just recently taught her. She had been learning it for a long time but had never mastered it. Now she was able to use it successfully when she was furious.

Mantis cut, the attack rhythm of the two-handed weapons is completely staggered. Halfway through the swing of the left-hand weapon, the right-hand weapon just begins to swing, creating an ultra-high-frequency rhythm that is twice the normal attack speed.

Anyone present would be in a hurry when faced with Mantis Che's speed, but Asker was the only exception.

He held the sword with both hands flat, and with a simple thrust, he stabbed Hidrifa's right hand holding the axe.

Then the two of them passed each other, and Sidrifa fell forward to the ground, with a long and narrow wound opening in her waist and abdomen.

"Nora, give her some treatment." Asik sheathed his sword.

"It's too dangerous!" Nora anxiously supported Sidrifa and pressed the healing touch on the wound on her waist. "How could you be so harsh?"

"It's better to be injured in my hands than to be injured in the enemy's hands later." Ask said calmly, "At least I will retain my strength."

"But..." Nora looked at the blood on her hands tremblingly.

"Although there was a lot of bleeding, the internal organs were not injured. I was sensible." Aske said, "She should be awake now."

Hildafa said "Ouch", opened her eyes, looked at Nora who was treating her, and said in a confused voice: "What's wrong with me...?"

"You took the potion of Strong Permanent personality shift. Medea?"

"Checking." Medea said, crossing her arms. She was the first to discover the abnormality in Sidrifa's consciousness from the very beginning, and quickly informed Asker in a private message, "It seems there is still some influence, deep in the mental body."

"Then pull it out and make it clean." Ask said.

"Asker." Peggy and Eleanor stepped forward and asked hesitantly, "What kind of swordsmanship did you use just now?"

"Nine Star Styles, Zhe Rui." Asik laughed, "Want to learn? I'll teach you."
