Blue Sword

He said he was "thinking about it," but in fact he didn't even ask for compensation. In fact, he just declined, which made the bishop on the stage a little embarrassed.

However, the Pope was an old-timer after all. He just smiled and waved his hand, saying that the list of participants had not yet been determined, so he could not rush to reply, and he cleverly smoothed the atmosphere.

The follow-up meeting briefly explained the situation in the Iberian Peninsula: the undead army seemed to have used some extraordinary technology called "dark canopy", which can block surveillance satellites and communication electromagnetic waves on a large scale.

It is equivalent to saying that the Holy See has completely lost control of the Iberian Peninsula, leaving only fragments of information given by people who escaped from the dark sky.

In short, the situation inside the Iberian Peninsula is completely unclear, but judging from the fact that the Kingdom of Aragon and Castile has sent almost no news, it can be guessed that it is very dangerous.

So the meeting ended hastily in a solemn and solemn atmosphere, and everyone was not in a good mood when they left.

Although it had been anticipated that the Kingdom of the Dead was planning to go north, when it actually happened, it still put a lot of pressure on the Holy See and the Italian and wealthy families.

On the other hand, the polite refusal of Asik, the leader of the Blue Sword, could not help but increase everyone's pessimistic expectations.

Soon Nora was attacked by a double attack from her brothers and sisters. Varian represented the Holy See and Capasilin represented Licinius. They made crazy lobbying for Nora - hoping that the deputy captain of the Blue Sword would blow it. Pillow wind, so that Captain Aske can change his mind.

Nora was also extremely speechless. Now that the six major mercenary groups in the mainland have all participated in the war, what does it mean if our Cangqing Sword does not participate in the war? We are not some big mercenary group with tens of thousands of members...

She didn't want to trouble the group leader with this kind of thing, so she could only imitate Asker's tone and politely refuse, "I also want to think about it again." This made both Varian and Capasilin very dissatisfied.

Wait, you’re not married yet, Nora! Why are you talking to your husband now? Where is that obedient and well-behaved little girl from before?

Being annoyed by the two of them, Nora could only agree to go find Aske.

Returning to Hearth Island, she wandered and hesitated in the woods at the foot of the mountain, thinking about how to tell Ask about this.

After all, Nora didn’t want to give the leader the impression of “speaking for the family.” Besides, it was indeed her brother and sister who went too far in this matter. Why are we, a small mercenary group, appointed to go to Iberia to exterminate the undead?

That's too much.

Just as she was hesitating, Nora saw a figure walking out from behind the tree. It seemed that he had been waiting for her here.

Medea.

If someone asked Nora what her relationship with Medea was like, she would probably answer "Although there are occasional disagreements, they are actually pretty good friends."

In fact, apart from their mutual competition for the group leader, Nora did not have any obvious ill feelings toward Medea.

Although Miss Succubus is full of bad intentions, Nora feels that it is just a personality problem, and maybe some of it comes from the influence of the bloodline sequence... In short, she is similar to Paige, and she is a child who "can be corrected as long as she is patient and enlightened." Something wrong.

Medea is also well aware of Nora's feelings. Even though she couldn't read Nora's mind, she could feel it from her character and words.

If I have to describe it, it's like a "mom" character in the traditional sense.

Of course, Medea doesn't find this aspect of "Mother Nora" annoying to her. To be more precise, she couldn't be better - after all, stupid people are easier to predict, calculate and deal with.

"Nora." Medea greeted her with a smile, "Are you here to see Asik?"

"Yeah." Nora looked embarrassed, but Medea pretended not to notice and continued:

"Actually, I came to see him too..."

"Really?" Nora smiled softly.

She certainly knew Medea's character. Back then, in order to quickly upgrade and become stronger, he even "ran away from home" without hesitation, leaving everything behind to join a mercenary group and follow Asik.

This time, after learning about Asker's "acceleration plan", he must have put everything behind him and just wanted to upgrade as soon as possible, right? Not wanting the team to be involved in the muddy waters of a distant war is also the "interest-based" judgment that Medea would naturally make.

"Oh, actually I understand what you mean." Nora used her fingers to pull up the hair hanging down on the side of her face, and said softly, "The war in the Iberian Peninsula is indeed beyond the scope of what we can deal with. If Ask He ultimately chose not to go to war, which I can understand."

"No, no, no." Medea shook her head quickly, "My opinion is that we should help the Holy See."

Nora:? ? ?

She opened her mouth slightly and looked at Medea in shock. I only heard her say righteously:

"If it were any other war, it would just be a change of political power. Our small mercenary group has no qualifications and no need to intervene. But the undead are different, Nora."

"The undead's troops need to be supplemented by corpses, so they will definitely target the residents of the Kingdom of Aragon and Castile. The fewer mercenaries participating in the war, the more innocent civilians will be sacrificed in the war and massacre. Can you bear it? Do you see these people’s happy lives being completely destroyed, wives losing their husbands, children losing their parents, the elderly losing their children, and countless families falling apart?”

Nora:………………

These righteous and awe-inspiring words could actually be said by Medea with such emotion that it even touched her heart.

But shouldn’t this be Eleanor’s line? It's so strange coming from the mouth of Miss Succubus! Hey, is she planning something bad again?

Such doubtful thoughts swirled in Nora's mind, and then she rejected them with shame.

Nora, Nora, how can you bring such ugly prejudice and discrimination to unreasonably doubt your companions? Couldn't Medea have good motives and thoughts? Why do we always subconsciously associate her with bad things?

Thinking like this, Nora felt a little guilty and blamed herself, and said to Medea in shame:

"Yes, you are right, we should really talk to Aske."

Medea:? ? ?

Wait, what do you mean? In other words, I have convinced her?

Medea suddenly transformed into a kind and compassionate person. Of course, Medea knew that this transformation had obvious flaws and abruptness, so she even prepared 7 different excuses to deal with any possible doubts and temptations from Nora.

However, she never expected that Nora would believe her words and motives without any doubt. This...

For a moment, the light of the noble quality called "selfless trust" radiated from Nora opposite her, making Medea, who was used to being gloomy, feel a rare sense of shame.

However, she quickly calmed down her strange emotions and said with a smile:

"Great, I know you think so too, let's go and call Eleanor?"

"Along with Eleanor?" Nora was stunned for a moment, then showed a gentle smile, "Okay."

Sorry, I forgot to post it
