Chapter 61: Old Fritters
"I went to see the ruins of the city of Verona this morning." One bearded demigod spoke, "The entire city has been razed to the ground, and nothing remains of any intact buildings. â
"However, there are no signs of cracking and plate movement in the ground, and there are no signs of extreme heat or cold raging. The building was destroyed cleanly, leaving no wreckage; At the same time, the elevation of the entire terrain has increased, which means that the buildings have been converted into the same amount of earth, and in what way? I'm sorry, I'm curious about that. â
He stared at Peggy, who was a little uneasy, and said slowly, "Smash? Rot? Decompose? There is no law I know of that can do such a clean 'slaughter', so I can only guess that it is some kind of law that has never been around, right? The...... Miss Peggy? â
"I lost control last night and don't remember what happened." Peggy immediately recited fluently.
"Oh, out of control." The bearded demigod nodded, "This is also an explanation, after all, it can burst out of huge energy when it is out of control. However, every time you lose control, it will be too much damage to your spirit, and you should recuperate and receive treatment as soon as possible. â
This is clearly questioning her "I lost control last night, and now I still look like I'm nothing." Peggy didn't say anything, but Aske explained with a smile:
"We happen to have a transcendent on our team who is proficient in spirit abilities and can help heal the damage caused by a loss of spiritual control."
"Oh?" The bearded half-god seemed to be smiling, and his expression was obviously unbelieving, when His Majesty the Emperor suddenly spoke, "You should be talking about that Miss Nola, right?" The direct child of the Licinian family...... My father had dealt with the Licinius family a lot, but to be honest, their previous offer was too high, and it was not fair. â
The demigods present automatically ignored the emperor's complaints in the second half of the sentence, but since the other team did have this profession, then Peggy said that she lost control last night so she didn't remember anything, and she was later healed by the team's therapeutic occupational therapy, so she could stand here intact...... Ghost letter! How can everyone believe such a coincidence!
"I said, you don't have to beat around the bush like that." His Excellency Otto, the Fire of the Sealed Furnace, crossed his arms and glanced at Asker, "Captain Asker, we have dealt with a lot before, why don't you wait for you to tell me secretly, how about it?" â
"Wait, Seal the Fire." A hook-nosed, gloomy-looking male demigod stopped him, "It's not a private matter. â
"Although the law nature of the transcendent is her own privacy, unless you use your abilities very little, it will always be guessed. Everyone present is a demigod, whose ability is not clear to everyone? â
"Rather than sneaking around like this, you might as well be generous, Miss Peggy. Since your law can destroy the city of Verona, it must not be an ordinary law. If we can determine the scope of your abilities, Your Majesty will definitely hire you to complete more difficult tasks, and the rewards and rewards will be more generous. â
This guy is very cunning, and what he says seems to be thinking about the Azure Sword mercenary group, but in fact, he is using the guise of the emperor to obtain information at no cost. But Emperor Otto was fooled, nodded and said:
"Yes, as long as you make it clear what kind of ability it is, I can give you a title commensurate with your strength, and I won't send you those chores again."
Since Emperor Dì Dū had spoken, if he refused any longer, he would be angered, so Asker could only pretend to be helpless and said:
"Well, since Your Majesty has said so, then we can only share with you the little information we have. To be honest, we don't know what kind of law Peggy is condensing......"
As soon as these words came out, the demigods present immediately secretly shouted that it was not good, this mercenary group leader is obviously an old oilman, and he plans to deal with everyone with the words of avoiding the heavy and ignoring half-truths!
That's not right, right! It was still the gloomy demigod with the hooked nose who interrupted his words in a loud voice, "When inducting the law ceremony, the specific ritual task will explain the name of the law!" â
"Oh, Your Excellency." Asker said with a smile, "The name of the law depends on the perception of the law by the sensitor, and even the ability that is obviously similar will also display the names of different laws under the induction of different transcendents, not to mention that there is no law in this world that is exactly the same, right?" â
The hook-nosed demigod couldn't answer (because it was), so he could only keep his face calm and motioned for the other party to continue.
What Peggy sensed at the time was some vague name of the law, and because she didn't know the law, she couldn't hear the specific name when she sensed it...... Of course, none of this matters, what matters is the specific content of the Law Ritual mission, which is to have her kill a demigod. â
Ask's words were open, and when the demigods present heard this, their faces immediately changed suddenly.
Kill the demigods? Then the difficulty of this ritual task is a bit perverted! When considering Peggy's induction law, it must only be Lv.10...... Lv.10 is about to slaughter a demigod? What the hell is the law? Explosive seeds?
But speaking of which, those scarlet clouds over the trenches came from the mutations caused by the fall of the demigods, and they are still floating in the sky! Other words......
"Yes." Asker nodded, "So we didn't plan to complete this mission at the time, but we didn't expect to encounter a demigod last night. This demigod is from the Pure-Blood Order, with whom we had a deep vendetta during our previous mission with Viny. â
"That's true." The eldest son of the Duke of Thuringia, the eldest son of the Duke of Thuringia, said unexpectedly, "Albrecht told me about this incident, saying that it was two pure-blood hermit demigods who attacked Venisia at that time, and that the Blue Sword people assisted Vennice in capturing one of the demigods in exchange for His Excellency the Councillor's secret cooperation with us, and the other demigod seems to have escaped at that time. â
"So, the one who attacked you was the demigod who fled earlier?" He turned to look at Asker.
This one's help came at a good time. Asker sighed in his heart, and immediately echoed and said:
"That's right. We fought with him for a long time, and then we desperately attacked him, and his realm lasted too long, causing his spirit to lose control before falling. â
The so-called "desperate attack" is obviously a statement to cover up the truth and the falsehood. However, the demigods didn't care, and someone hurriedly asked, "And then?" â
"Then I passed out and Peggy was out of control." Asker showed a confused expression, "According to her, she was in a state of loss of control at the time, and could only maintain a certain vague perception of the outside world, and that law ability seems to be able to destroy the structure of the surrounding objects. â
"Destroy ......," the fire of the furnace muttered, "but that makes sense. After all, the concrete building is made of silicate material, and the destruction of the structure to make it into ordinary earth is also consistent with the situation on the site. â
"But there must be a correlation between the law itself and the corresponding ritual tasks." The hook-nosed demigod was still a little suspicious, "What does destroying the structure have to do with killing the demigod?" â
"Maybe the connection between the two is not in killing the demigods, but in the mutations after the demigods fall?" Aske conjectured.
Falls, mutations, confusion...... Chaos, entropy, structural destruction? The demigods all connected these and finally came up with a seemingly correct answer:
A law that turns order into disorder is a skill that destroys the structural order in the target's body (e.g. destroying a demigod so that all the laws in his body burst out). As for the name of this law, as Aske said, it doesn't matter at all, after all, it's just a code name, what matters is what specific abilities you have.
"Alright." Bruno clapped his hands and said with a smile, "Looks like our doubts have been answered, isn't it?" Don't embarrass these children anymore. â
Children...... Asker was powerless to complain, but the demigods present agreed with this sentence, so after saying goodbye to the emperor and dukes, they left the conference room one after another.
