Blue Sword

William looked at Hidrifa in the distance with an expressionless expression.

Beside him, on the frozen Norman corpse, the bone and tooth necklace exuded some strange brilliance.

Obviously, Navia Bone Tooth is very satisfied with the surrounding war scenes - even more satisfied than any time in the past. As for the reason, it goes without saying, just look at who made the most outstanding contribution in this war.

It can be said that the current level of pleasure of the artifact has already satisfied the demand for use of the Navia Bone Tooth for the next whole year. Therefore, the Otwell family does not need to worry about the will of the artifact itself and can fully activate its abilities.

However, William did not look happy.

After all... why was she the one who won the recognition of Navia Bone Tooth?

Why that young girl of unknown origin?

On the other side, in the Normandy Palace, after Robert sent Medea away, he also began to fall into a state of uneasy contemplation.

To be honest, of course, Robert had investigated the great achievements of Cangqing Sword in the past. However, there are still principles in this world that are universally applicable, and that is:

You can never know someone's strength on paper unless you have dealt with her in person.

Careful thinking, sophisticated words, and just the right expression control made Robert feel like he was talking to the devil.

Of course, in a biological sense, the bloodline of the Purgatory Succubus is indeed a member of the devil's bloodline, but here Robert is referring to "devil" in a religious sense.

That is, the devil who can always understand your weaknesses, has a seductive tone to trick you into jumping into hell, and is feared by mortals.

Robert's title is "The Cunning Fox", which describes his extremely unconventional and unexpected style of play based on crazy rules. In a sense, it also stems from his own particularly flexible mind.

However, when dealing with the succubus lady who was younger than him and of a lower level than him, Robert felt helpless - a feeling of powerlessness he had not felt for a long time since he became a demigod. .

There is no doubt that the other party must have mastered some kind of spiritual law in order to have an almost decisive advantage in the competition of words and strategies. Considering this, and thinking about how Sidrifa came here, Robert could not help but become more vigilant and fearful.

Of course, he would not naively think that Sidrifa's choice to return to the family voluntarily had nothing to do with the Blue Sword. In fact, if someone suddenly pops up now and tells him that there is a huge conspiracy behind his daughter (and the succubus is obviously involved in it), Robert will not be surprised.

No, this matter still needs to be dealt with. In particular, the relationship between his daughter and him may not be as close as the relationship with Cangqing Sword. This is something that Robert cannot tolerate.

He had to do something to change the situation.

Medea returned to the hotel leisurely. As soon as she opened the door, she saw Mi'er sitting at the desk. She turned around and asked lightly:

"Did you go to see Hidrifa's father?"

"That's right." Medea snapped her fingers and said with a smile, "By the way, I arranged some backup plans."

Mi'er didn't ask what her so-called "backhand" was, but said seriously:

"Your approach is too radical, Medea. Contacting Robert rashly will greatly increase the risk of our plan, and you have not communicated with me beforehand."

"Hey, I remember I communicated with you?" Medea sat down next to her, a little strangely.

"No, no." Mi'er said calmly, "Do you need me to pull out the 'playback videos' of all the conversations we had in the past week?"

Medea looked at her for a moment, and then the smile in her eyes gradually faded.

"Your imagination is too conservative, Mi'er." She said a little boredly, "In your eyes, the past and the future are just completely opened riddle books, crossword puzzles with answers, or self-rotating... Guide to the Rubik’s Cube?”

"Even if we choose a high-profit and high-risk plan, you can peek into the future to guide us to make a series of correct choices and gradually level out the corresponding high risks. So why don't we try to maximize benefits?"

"Medea, you don't understand. My ability is not omniscient." Mi'er showed a worried expression, "I can only foresee the 'grey rhinoceros' from infinite future lines, but I cannot capture the lurking 'black swan' , can you understand this?"

"Of course." Medea crossed her arms.

Gray rhinoceros is a potential event that has a high probability of happening and has great harm; black swan is a rare event that has a small probability of happening and is unpredictable. For example, if you drive drunk and die in a traffic accident, you are a "grey rhino"; if you are killed by a meteorite falling from the sky and smashing the car window, you are a "black swan".

Mi'er's ability to peer into the future is essentially to read most of the possible future events. However, considering that there are infinite possibilities in the future, it is naturally impossible for Mier to exhaustively observe all situations.

There may be a rare black swan future line hidden in it, which contains dangers that Mier has never seen. Who knows?

"Are you telling me not to be too adventurous?" Medea sneered, "How come I didn't know when you became a conservative person? Who came up with the weird plan for Mount Etna? Don't tell me that It was Theodora’s whim.”

"The Mount Etna plan is beneficial to our team." Mier frowned and said, "But contacting Robert in advance will increase the risks that Sidleyfa will encounter. I told you this in advance."

"There is no absolutely harmless plan, Honey." Medea also said sternly, "Being a mercenary means dancing between probability and risk at all times. Don't forget what Sydrifa's mission ritual is, 'Kill Kill the people she hates'."

"Before that, she must first find the 'person she hates,' and this must contain literal dangers that are strictly limited by the ritual itself and cannot be avoided."

"Unless you feel that cooperating with Theodora is better than forming an alliance with us, then we can talk it over and get together, but don't use this stupid excuse to test my patience, okay?"

"I didn't test your patience." Mi'er sighed faintly, "I just..."

"Indecisive?" Medea asked.

"You can say that." Mi'er whispered, "I don't want you to get hurt, no matter who in the team it is."

Medea stared at her in silence for a long time, and her expression gradually softened. After a while, she chuckled again:

"Don't worry, black swans won't appear that easily, not to mention we have the ultimate safety insurance."

"Safety insurance?" Mi'er was stunned for a moment, "Who?"

"Of course he is our most handsome, lovable and lovable leader." Medea said with a smile.
