Chapter 15 The Chess Player is also a Pawn

"Well, in fact, Mi'er and I have already been named by the employer, right?" Sheila hesitated and said, "Then I'll participate." ”

"There are demigods of the Law of Destiny in the Zongderrick Order, and I still need to learn one of their skillful use of the Law of Destiny." Mi'er also raised her hand.

"As the protector of the team, I can't escape." Eleanor raised her hand.

"Then everyone will definitely need treatment." Nora raised her hand and stood side by side with Eleanor.

"The head of the regiment participates in it, and I will participate in it!" Peggy raised her hand high.

"Then ......" Mia originally wanted to say this, but Peggy snatched her lines, so she could only say helplessly, "Everyone participated, then I definitely can't be absent......"

"Can I take a leave of absence?" Medea touched her chin with a thoughtful expression.

"Yes." Asker nodded.

"Are there any consequences if I don't attend?" Medea smiled and said, "Like being expelled from the team or something." ”

"Oh, no." Aske said, "I'm not a demon boss either. ”

"Every demon boss says he's tolerant enough to allow employees to take time off work freely." Medea said, "As a result, when layoffs are made, the first one to lay off the most leave, which is called 'ability is not good'." ”

"Maybe someone else will do that, but we all know the roots." Aske defended himself, "Besides, Medea, your abilities are not suitable for a frontal attack. ”

"That's right." Medea nodded thoughtfully, "Then I've decided, I'm going to participate." ”

"Sure enough......" The girls supported their foreheads one after another. Since Miss Succubus has so many questions, it means that she must have planned to participate.

Otherwise, with Medea's character, there is a high probability that she will try to persuade everyone not to participate and simply reject the employment contract.

"Well, it's not yet time for the employer to need us to go to war, so there are two things we need to do next." Aske continued.

"First, extend the training duration of the Accelerator Program and raise it to a higher level as much as possible before the decisive battle."

"Second, be familiar with combat in the ocean environment, and I will guide you in this regard."

At the same time, in the deep-sea cave beneath Mount Moniz, the Naga priest who advocated the introduction of the Azure Sword for foreign aid was also questioned by other members of the Dzongdrik Order.

"It's too dangerous to introduce foreign chaotic variables, Larricos!" One of the Naga priests accused, "The Azure Sword is an important variable in this world, and if you bring them in, it means that all of our original plans will be overturned and redone!" ”

"There is no such thing as a chaotic variable." The head priest of the Order, named Laricos, who had negotiated with Asker and the others earlier, said indifferently, "Just like the rise of the human world was completely uncontrollable at the beginning, I don't think that even if they avoid this blue sword, they won't get involved in it. ”

"Conversely, if they get involved at an uncontrolled point in time, it increases the risk of chaos and unpredictability. The Holy See agrees with me in this regard. ”

"The Holy See cannot be trusted!" Another Naga priest exclaimed, "Are there fewer stupid mistakes committed by humans? Let's not forget that the Holy See itself was built on the ruins of the Western Solomonic Empire, how do you know that they will not take this opportunity to get rid of us? ”

"Take the opportunity to get rid of us, and then they will take down the Endless Stomach Beast themselves?" Some of the priests scoffed.

"That's not impossible." The other party immediately retorted, "The thinking mode of the Holy See's artificial intelligence is to control everything as much as possible and eliminate all uncontrollable variables!" Naturally, we are among them! ”

"Then why didn't they remove the Azure Sword?" Captain Larricos suddenly asked, "If it's uncontrollable, the risk of the Azure Sword is much greater than ours. ”

The Naga priest who spoke earlier suddenly choked, and the other priests were slightly stunned, and then they also began to talk.

"The Azure Sword Mercenary Regiment is not only on Raphael's watch list, but it is also the R4 level with the highest deterrent level." Chief Priest Larricos continued, "If, as you say, the Holy See instinctively rejects all variables beyond their control, then they should try to dismantle the Crimson Sword Mercenary Regiment. ”

"On the other hand, if they can even tolerate such a strange team of mercenaries whose strength has increased exponentially and the level of deterrence remains high, why should we doubt that they can't tolerate us? After all, we won't be staying at this point in time for too long. ”

Priests: ............

Although what the priest said is very reasonable, it ...... You have negotiated with the Azure Sword on behalf of Zondrik, and now if you come to convince us, there is always an unpleasant feeling of cutting first and then playing.

"Maybe the Holy See is already ready to dismantle the Azure Sword Mercenary Group." One priest suddenly speculated, "I recently observed the cause and effect lines in the temple, and found that they seem to be connected to the bronze dragon on the mountain range. ”

"That's the way the world is." Captain Laricos said in a "this is normal" tone, "The hand that holds the chess is not necessarily not on the chess piece. They are calculating us, why are we not calculating them, as long as each other can achieve their own goals, what is the point of dwelling on whether they are chess players or chess pieces? ”

The priests pondered. What do you say...... That's right.

The highest mission of the Zonderrik Order today is to completely solve the two major harms caused by the Ancestral Mage Guild in the first place: one is the continuous water import, and the other is the Endless Giant Stomach Beast.

This sense of mission, which stems from a sense of atonement, has become politically correct within the Order. As long as this purpose can be achieved, as for whether it has been used by the Holy See or something...... It doesn't matter at all.

After all, the two sides are not actually in the same period, and there is no obvious conflict of interest. You must know that the last time Zonderrick contacted the Holy See, it was four hundred years ago!

"In that case, let's finalize the cooperation with the Azure Sword." Larricos said with a clapper.

The Naga priests dispersed again, and Chief Priest Larricos turned his head and stared back at the deep pool of the temple at the bottom of the cave, as if observing something.

His gaze passed through the layers of time and space, and fell to the Atlanta Ocean more than five hundred years later. A young elven demigod with pink hair and blue eyes was standing on the deck of the ship, talking to another short-haired female demigod beside her.

Suddenly, she looked up, and across the long river of time, she met the eyes of Laricos five hundred years ago.

As countless pieces of information poured into Laricos' mind, the pool splattered in all directions, as if someone had smashed it into the water with a stone, and all the images were instantly shattered and unrecognizable.

"Time Weaver......" Larricos looked hesitant, a look of confidence that had just persuaded the other priests.

In fact, he was completely unsure that, according to the other party's explanation, he would interact with the Azure Sword Mercenary Group at this point in time, especially at the risk of the collapse of the causal chain, and contact her in advance......

…… Is it right or wrong?
