Through the mountains, the Cyan Sword mercenary group once again came to the realm of the Weissbach family.

The villages along the route are almost gone, and there are large abandoned houses everywhere that are uninhabited. Occasionally, they met homeless people heading to Mingxing City on the road, and everyone learned that the cause was half a rat plague and half a military disaster.

Encountering extraordinary mutations in the village is death, and there are at least other transcendental beings (demigods) in the city to protect them, plus the recruiters who come to the village are all kinds of tyrannical conscriptions, and they pull out their swords at every turn to recruit strong men, which is far less civilized than the recruiters in the city to enforce the law and speak well......

Therefore, a large number of displaced people from the surrounding area began to migrate in the direction of Mingxing City, and in a sense, it even accelerated the urbanization process of the Duchy of Bavaria, at least according to the player forum before the crossing.

In fact, not only in the Duchy of Bavaria, but as the flames of war spread in the coming years, the inhabitants of towns and villages in almost all continental countries were forced to migrate to the cities (mainly to centralize to protect against the threat of war).

At the same time, a large number of villages have been abandoned, the habitats of otherworldly creatures have rapidly expanded, and various mutant copies have sprung up.

The group arrives at the ruins of Beta Enrid, once a thriving town that has been wiped out by a plague of rats by the Lord of Filth.

And, it was in this place last time that the people of the Blue Sword teamed up to kill the culprit and stop the further spread of the disaster.

Now that the plague and plague have subsided, the townspeople who had fled have not returned, but a group of displaced people have occupied some of the neighborhoods, looking at them from afar with blood-stained swords.

This time it was Noble and Eleanor who were walking on the main plane. The latter's power armor was so imposing that the outcasts quickly retreated back into the building and fell silent.

"Ugh." Eleanor sighed.

"Ellie." Nou gave her a psychological hint again, reinvigorating her already lost emotions.

"I'm fine." Eleanor stared at the ruins in the distance, "I just thought, I don't know when, this war will end." ”

"But even if it's over, it won't be a long time before the town is back populated." Noya said with emotion, "At least the original townspeople are probably reluctant to return to their hometowns where disasters once occurred. ”

"Why are people so vulnerable?" Eleanor asked another esoteric question.

"It's because people are fragile that we need to be stronger." This kind of philosophical question of life, even the battle-hardened Aske couldn't answer, and Nuo naturally couldn't resist it, so he could only deal with it casually, and hurriedly said, "Well, it's noon, I'm going back to cook, let Sidlifa come out to change shifts." ”

She teleported back to Hearth. Eleanor looked up at the sky with a somewhat wistful expression.

Asker once told everyone that from the time he entered the Holy See's R1 monitoring list, the all-seeing eye military surveillance satellite overhead began to continuously monitor the Blue Sword team from 6:00 to 18:00 every day.

As a result, there are strict team rules for which team secrets can be exposed and which cannot be used in the open air during the day.

For example, the teleportation of Hearthfire Island can be exposed, as can the Nine Styles of the Stars and the Unyielding Holy Sword in the transcendent swordsmanship.

For example, the Phantom Sword of the Immortals cannot be exposed, and Peggy's meeting with her demigod master, Agrippina, and informing the succubus Malkina to open the portal, are also not allowed to be known to the Holy See.

As for the reason and what the judging criteria are, due to the over-complexity, Asker didn't say much, just let everyone keep it in mind.

However, Eleanor couldn't help but think of another thing: that is, when the Lord of Filth attacked here, the Holy See also saw it.

So why didn't the Holy See send someone to stop him? Doesn't the Holy See have space-based tactical weapons? Why not a space-based missile to destroy this lord of filth?

Why is the Holy See, as the light of civilization, just watching the whole process? Why are you able to watch indifferently from orbits more than 35,000 kilometers above the surface as countless people die under the plague of rats and plagues, and watch this terrible catastrophe destroy one town after another?

And did nothing?

The more she thought about it, the more confused and uneasy she felt...... and a faint anger.

Sidlifa teleported to her side.

"Let's go." She beckoned Eleanor and said.

"Let's go." Eleanor nodded.

"Ah, that's where we killed the Lord of the Filth." Sidlifa looked into the distance, and suddenly shouted as if she had discovered her old place.

"Hmm." Eleanor didn't want to speak.

"Ah, that's great, I want to be stronger, too." Sidlifa sighed enviously, "When will I be able to advance to that height?" Like the Lord of Filth last time, he has the power to easily destroy towns and countries. ”

"Is that really good?" Eleanor couldn't help but question excitedly, "Obviously you have such a powerful power, but you want to prove yourself by destroying towns and countries and killing countless people?" ”

Sidlifa stared at her for a moment and smiled, "What are you talking about?" ”

"I'm talking about power itself, not that I will use it to do this after I have it."

"Besides, if it were me who had this power, of course I would stop people like the Lord of Filth from doing evil, wouldn't I?"

Eleanor was dumbfounded by her, and was silent for a moment, then sighed:

"I went overboard, sorry. I didn't mean that. ”

She walked forward silently, feeling even more depressed, and suddenly heard Sidlifa's voice behind her, low and not like her usual tone:

"Eleanor, there is no good or evil in power, only the user has it."

"Instead of fearing the power itself, do everything you can to master it so that everyone is afraid of your power."

"At that time, if you have to enforce justice, won't evil not survive?"

Eleanor turned her head sharply, and saw Sidlifa grinning, pushing her from behind and urging:

"Let's go, let's go, wait a minute, Asker will come out again and urge us to go slowly."

………………

In the evening, the crowd finally arrived at Lake Starnberg.

"Anyway, that's the plan, is there a problem?" After Asker explained the plan to deceive the tears, he asked everyone.

"Yes." Eleanor raised her hand in wonder, "What should I do if I mess up?" ”

"If you smash the performance, you will be killed." Aske waved his hand and said calmly, "Fear also leaves tears after being killed. It's just that it has too many means of escape, and it's usually difficult to be surrounded and killed. ”

"Everyone remembers clearly, if you want to choose to kill, Fear has the following abilities: one is stealth, which can disappear directly from our sight."

"There are two ways to crack it: spirits and light, and the surrounding spirits can rely on their unique perception to perceive the invisible, frightened location; And if the light hits Fear, it will also make his invisibility ineffective. ”

"The second is the effect of spiritual screaming, which causes all spirits within a certain range around to be damaged + stunned. There is no good way to resist it, everyone pays attention to my warnings all the time, and is ready to stay away from each other at any time to reduce the damage. ”

"The third is the fear possession, its ordinary attack, there is a probability that the attacked person will fall into a depressed and depressed mood, and this emotional transmission will not be limited by blocking or attacking parry. Novo Medea's psychic shield can defend against this attack, but the psychic shield requires physical contact and is unrealistic. ”

"Therefore, once the two of them find that someone on the battlefield is emotionally abnormal, they must immediately activate the ability of psychological suggestion and implant happy thoughts into each other's bodies."

"Happy thoughts?" Medea asked, "For example?" ”

"Last Halloween?" Nou suggested, "I remember everyone was having a pretty good time. ”

"Yes, you can." Aske nodded in agreement, "In addition, Fear can freely transform between the virtual and the real without activating the ability. For example, when it attacks you, it transforms its body into a physical entity. ”

"And when attacked, he can transform into a virtual body, causing physical attacks to only pass through his body and will not take effect, and can only be killed by the ability of the arcane sequence, or when he catches it to attack, he gathers fire."

"Of course, it's best if Eleanor's acting skills can pass the test, so that we can get tears straight away and don't need to fight any more troublesome battles."

"Wait." Eleanor couldn't help but laugh, "So the key to this battle is my acting skills?" ”

"Yes." Aske admits without hesitation, "It's up to you." ”

Elinor:..................

She gave a speechless expression, and then was asked to put on makeup by Novo and Medear.
