Chapter 67: The Third Day
In the island of fire.
The head of the group, Mia and Mier, have been missing for nearly 3 days.
The team's daily routine has largely come to a standstill: morning classes and training, rule perception and learning, and Sicily affairs have all come to a halt.
It was as if a train was running on the railroad tracks, but due to the fracture of the core bearing, it immediately detached from its original track.
"Peggy is out again?" Nora rubbed her brow in annoyance.
"Well, she said she's going to find Asker." Sheila said helplessly.
"Where did she go to find Asker?" Eleanor was also speechless, "Does she know how to enter the abyss?" We've had enough things going on now, and we have to go the extra mile to appease her, it's really ......"
The blonde knight stood up: "I'll go find her and bring her back." ”
"I know where she is." Medea said lightly, "In her mental body, I have hands and feet. ”
"When are you...... Never mind. Eleanor pulled her and teleported away from Hearthfire Island, "Let's go." ”
So only three girls, Sidlifa, Nora and Sheila, were left in the Hearthfire Island.
"So, how do you get into the abyss?" Sidlifa asked.
"Entering the abyss is a complicated matter." Sheila replied, "The Abyss is not a location on the main plane, and can be reached by plane, ship, car, or even on foot on your own feet. ”
"If you use space-based capabilities, such as black holes, then it's easier to get there; If not, then you have to look for the proximity of the Abyss and the Main Plane. ”
"So, without Mia, it would be difficult for us to find the entrance to the abyss alone." Nora sighed and said, "But speaking of the law of black holes...... When we helped the Imperial Coalition reach Venis for help, I remember a city councilor who seemed to be a demigod of the law of black holes? ”
"Can you please come over?" Sidlifa asked.
"It should be fine." Nora said, "In today's Italy Plus, demigods who don't give our family face are a minority after all...... I'm going to get in touch with my family. ”
On the main plane, in the houses near the Royal Palace of Palermo, several eyes were secretly staring at Eleanor and Medea who came out of the palace.
"Two more people left."
"How many of them are left in the palace now? 3 people, or 5 people? ”
"It doesn't matter, the focus is on their two demigods. As long as we can suppress the demigods, the remaining people are by no means our opponents, and we can block them in the palace and kill them. ”
"When will the three demigods promised by the Pure-Blood Hermit Sect come?"
"I didn't say it. They may also be watching to see if the two demigods in the palace will leave the main throne and go to the abyss. ”
"In that case, there will be no obstacle to our reconquest of Sicily."
……
Walking down the street, Medea suddenly whispered:
"Malicious intent."
"Malice?" Eleanor also lowered her voice, "Are you coming for us?" ”
"Of course." Medea rolled her eyes, "Presumably, because of Asker's disappearance, the panic and urgency we showed were also seen by some guys who were ready to move." ”
"You mean...... Sidlifa's family? Eleanor was a little stunned.
"Hard to understand?" Medea squinted at her.
"No, I'm just ......," said Eleanor in a deep voice, "I'm just feeling a little sorry for her." ”
"After all, it was hard to find a blood-related family, but it turned out to be treated as an enemy by the clan, which shouldn't be the treatment that Sidlifa should have."
"The treatment is earned by oneself." Medea said coldly, "It's not about asking how others will treat you." ”
"Sounds like Sidley would have spoken." Eleanor smiled bitterly, "Medea, your relationship with Sidlifa is really good. ”
"Just like you and Nola?"
"Hmm...... Yes. Eleanor said, "Just like me and Nola." ”
"Speaking of which, I have some doubts." Medea suddenly said, "If Nora knew that you also liked the leader, what would the two of you do about it?" Humility to each other? Competing with each other? Or is it guessing who will quit? ”
"What are you talking about, Medea?" Eleanor forced her composure and said, "I don't understand what you mean. ”
"Even if you play stupid, you don't want to deny it directly, I think you know what I mean." The corners of Medea's mouth were slightly hooked, and with a certain evil tone, she said, "It's okay, you don't have to answer my question." ”
"But you should know that just because you don't face a problem doesn't mean it doesn't exist, right?"
Elinor:..................
She didn't speak, she didn't have any expression, she just stared at the ground as if she was distracted, and silently bit her lower lip.
At the bottom of the abyss, in Research Institute No. 710.
The gaps in the walls that had been broken by the Shadow Fiend had been repaired by the engineering robots with quick-drying cement, and the damaged light bulbs had been replaced with new ones.
"I can't imagine it." Watching as the robot began to clean up the corrosive wreckage left behind by the Shadow Fiend, Capet said in a tone of amazement, "The three of you are still professional elite mercenaries, and your combat effectiveness is indeed stronger than any security company I've ever seen. ”
"Awards, awards." Asker felt through the bag, and found a rolled-up standard contract, "Do you want to consider our cooperation in the future?" ”
"What is this?" Capet wondered.
"Entrusted Employment Agreement." Asker replied, "How about you hire us to help guard the research institute and destroy the abyssal monsters that have broken in, and the reward will be settled with our accommodation and material consumption in the research institute, which is mutually beneficial?" ”
"Hmm." Capet thought about it for a moment, and then realized that it was indeed a good idea. The key is that as long as the contract is signed and an agreement is reached, the two parties will have cooperation based on common interests, and they can naturally trust each other and reduce unnecessary risks.
"Okay, I'll take a look." He took the contract, quickly scanned the text with his vision sensor, and wondered, "What does this 'pound' mean?" ”
"Monetary unit." Aske said, "The currency of our time. ”
"I remember that the pound was supposed to be a unit of weight...... Never mind. "Next, let's talk about your daily wages and the pricing of the goods and services that the Institute can provide you." ”
So the two began business negotiations. Mia listened a little boredly for a while, and whispered:
"Mi'er."
Mier: ???
"I want to practice the Sword of Ripples." Mia said.
"Okay, I'll accompany you." Mi'er smiled slightly, knowing that Miya couldn't stay.
Back at the test site, Miya began to continue practicing, and Mi'er dragged Mia, who had already mastered the Ripple Sword, from the future world, to accompany Mia to continue training at this time.
I have to say that the law of fate is indeed quite a useful ability. You can look through the past, predict the future, and even pull things out of parallel worlds that don't exist in this world.
The only problem is probably that if you rely too much on the peeping ability of the law of fate, it is easy to be caught off guard by the occasional black swan.
For example, this time, she didn't anticipate the small probability event of "Mia failed to launch the Ripple Sword for the first time and fell into the abyss".
If you can check more world lines in a short period of time...... Mi'er sighed slightly, feeling a little lost and depressed.
Still have to get stronger, honey!
