"It's not a question of weakness." Quintus smiled wryly and said, "Give them the right space, a mage can be compared to a heavy weapons company." ”

"The problem is that there is no way to prepare in advance for such a thing as assassination, and mages cannot be opponents of the assassins in an emergency."

"The Spartans can help defend it." Rudasius said.

"With the help of the Weapon Master, I think these mages should be able to stop a bit." Quintus sighed and said, "At present, more than thirty mage towers have been declared closed, and the mage union has put a lot of political pressure on my father. ”

"We Spartans alone are not enough." "More mercenaries must be recruited. ”

"Mercenaries are a source of instability." Quintus looked embarrassed, "Not all mercenaries can value honor and discipline as much as the Spartans. ”

"The Spartans were not pure-bloods either, and the days of closed city-states have passed." Rudasius replied, "I was a Cypriot mercenary until I came to the city-state of Sparta. ”

"We hope to hold a jousting tournament to select the best warriors among the mercenaries to join the troops defending the city."

"We will restrain the Spartans with their iron-blooded discipline and make them Spartan warriors worthy of the Latins."

"But it's about defending Olympia after all."

"I understand, I need to discuss this matter with my father about the funding." Quintus nodded and said, "Please rest in the city camp first." ”

Rudasius nodded coldly and took everyone on the subway.

Quintus watched the Spartans go away, his gaze suddenly resting on a petite figure.

Hey, this guy...... His heart touched slightly, and the subway had already started, carrying everyone away from his sight.

Probably an illusion.

————————

Because it is built inside a tree, the subway in Olin City is vertical.

Perhaps it would be more appropriate to call it a high-speed elevator.

The entire Olin City is divided into 106 floors, which are connected by more than 30 elevators, some of which only stop at odd floors, some of which only stop at the bottom 10 floors, etc., which is as complex as a network.

The one that Ludasius and the others took was a military-specific elevator that led directly to the 80th floor.

Despite the lucrative and wealthy trade in Olin City, the living conditions in the barracks remained the simple and rustic style of the Cyreths.

The Spartans were assigned a large bunk room and slept with the Olympian guards.

The people of the Azure Sword Mercenary Regiment were fortunate enough to get an extra single room, which was originally the bedroom of the officers.

Due to the frequent assassinations in the city, the Olin military camp was attacked several times, so that the noble officers hid in their homes and slept.

This bedroom is small enough to fit four beds, but it's no problem for those who have a fire island in their hands.

Mia pressed her hands on the floor-to-ceiling window, looked at the sea of clouds and the earth below, and exclaimed:

"Asker, come and see how tall we have to be here!"

"Be careful that the windows are not strong and fall down." Aske quipped.

Frightened, Mia was thrilled and hurriedly walked away from the floor-to-ceiling window.

"Asker." Someone was pulling on his sleeve.

Asker turned his head and saw that it was Princess Sheila.

"I'd like to have a private chat with you for a while." Sheila said.

"What's wrong?" Thinking of the recent succession of events, Asker asked curiously, "Did you learn a new transcendent swordsmanship by chance?" Or do you suddenly find out that you have schizophrenia? ”

Sheila:???

"No, it's not." Sheila seemed a little embarrassed, "It's my family's business." ”

The two teleported to Hearthfire Island and found a secluded place.

"Say it." Asker said.

"The lord of Olympia is the imperial nobleman Appilius." Sheila took off her mask, revealing her perfectly perfect face, and her expression looked a little embarrassed.

"He was my maternal grandfather."

Asker groaned.

"So the aristocratic officer named Quintus just now ......"

"It's my uncle." Sheila sighed and said, "He comes to Constantinople every few years to visit me and Zoe. ”

"So what are your plans?" Aske asked lightly, "Do you know each other?" ”

"Nope." Sheila shook her head and said, "Once my identity is revealed, they will inevitably send me to Athens for protection, and there is no way that I will be allowed to stay on the front line." ”

"The city of Olympia has a special place in the Empire and even in the province of Cyris. The recipe for Wisdom X requires the sap of the Tree of Eden, which only the Tree of Olympus can provide. And in addition, almost any recipe for an arcane sequence, spiritual materials, and knowledge can be found in Olympia. ”

"This is a city of mages, the sacred place and cornerstone of the Empire's transcendent realm, just as the Church is to the scientific community."

"I have betrayed the trust of Constantinople. I'm not an emperor now, but I at least hope to save Olympia and not let this imperial pearl fall into the hands of the Western Crusaders. ”

"Hmm." Aske thought for a moment, "Olympia shouldn't have a problem. ”

"If the Seljuks come to attack, there may be a possibility of a siege. But this time the opponent was the Latin Empire. ”

"The Latin Empire faced the threat of the Seljuks from Asia Minor on its flank, and it was impossible to attack Olympia with all its might. As long as they pay a sufficient price, they will naturally retreat and go to plunder elsewhere. ”

"The Seljuks also saw this, so they frequently sent Illanian assassins to cause trouble in the city, so that the Latin Empire would think that there was an opportunity to take advantage of it, so that they would encounter both defeats with Cirius in siege battles."

"That's right." Sheila breathed a clear sigh of relief.

In fact, she also thought that Olin City might not have a problem, otherwise it would be impossible for Asker, a shrewd and slippery guy, to lead the team to Olin City.

At this time, Asker received a definite answer, and she couldn't help but feel a sense of relief.

"That ......," Sheila thought for a moment, then said, "I want to buy spiritual materials for Meteorite I, can you accompany me?" ”

"Of course." Asker said, "Call Nola, let's buy everything from the group." ”

So the two returned to reality, called Nola, and the three of them left the barracks together by elevator.

The 60th floor of Olin City, with a height of 20 meters, is the famous "Extraordinary Bazaar". A wide variety of spiritual materials are sold openly, as well as stalls, shops, and auction houses.

Almost all Sequence I recipes can be found here, and there are quite a few Sequence II recipes. As Sheila puts it, as the world's only "extraordinary cargo hub", Olympia's status is not comparable to that of any other city.

It naturally attracts transcendents and resources across the empire, which is then amplified through a cluster effect.

Through the commodity circulation link, various formulas and resources are circulated to the hands of the corresponding sequence of transcendents, which is equivalent to the upgrade accelerator of the entire empire's transcendent realm.

In the game of the previous life, it was also a trading paradise for RMB bigwigs and studios.

In the original game world, Asker didn't believe that the game would have fallen to Olin City - otherwise the RMB bigwigs wouldn't have blown up on the spot.

But in this otherworld, anything is possible.

As he pondered this, he suddenly noticed a figure in front of him.

The guy's walking posture is a bit odd.
