Chapter Eighty-Seven: Honorary Leader
"I don't know how she did it."
Nora, who left the Hearthfire Island, looked at the ruins in Solomon's city and sighed with surprise.
Thanks to the mysterious operation of the Banshee Monarch Minerva, the spiritual tree in the city has completely disappeared, and the high-dimensional creatures have also disappeared, leaving only a ruined mess.
But people can finally build their new homes from the ruins.
Somewhat relieved, she saw the Templars hurrying towards her to maintain order.
"Miss, you can't stay here." The Templars at the head did not seem to recognize her identity, and advised, "This is a forbidden area for anomalies, and there may be unknown dangers remaining, and we need to clean it up completely." Please leave quickly. ”
"Okay." Nora nodded in reply and walked in the direction of the Lateran Palace.
The anomaly caused by the Spirit Tree has disappeared, and the citizens who had been eroded have returned to normal, and they are now walking the streets as if nothing happened. There were still traffic bans in some neighborhoods, but the brave enough had slipped out of their homes, and the Templars passing by acted as if they hadn't seen them.
Nora passed through one of the blocks and cheered in unison when she saw a large crowd of citizens using shovels and crowbars to knock down barricades blocking the streets.
A peaceful world without mutations...... That's great.
She thought to herself contentedly, and couldn't help but smile.
At the gates of the Lateran Palace, she saw her brother, Bishop Vallian, talking to another cardinal.
“…… The Ottville family took advantage of the change in the Holy See and invaded the whole of Sicily......"
“…… It is said that two demigods came with the army......"
“…… Now that the level cap has reached 20 and the demigods are more powerful than ever, the Holy See has decided to make peace with the Palermo court......"
“…… Not only that, but I'm afraid that the Holy See will start to go on the defensive next, and the international political situation will be chaotic......"
"Brother!" Nora shouted.
Seeing his sister coming, Bishop Valyan quickly made a stop gesture, and then asked with a smile on his face:
"What did Asker say?"
Just last night, Valian conveyed the meaning of the Holy See through Nora, intending to attribute the smooth pacification of this Spiritual Tree mutation to the Azure Sword Mercenary Group, and focus on publicizing it in the future.
On the one hand, this credit does belong to the people of the Blue Sword; On the other hand, it is the embodiment of His Majesty Innocent's political proposition - due to the rapid rise of the magic tide in recent years, the balance of power between the technology camp and the transcendent camp has been gradually broken, and the Holy See urgently needs to find a new strategy to contain the transcendent.
That is, Innocent's new strategy of finding a transcendent to lead the Holy See.
In recorded history, there have been a total of six upward cycles of the Demon Tide. For the first time, it almost dealt a heavy blow to the technological civilization, and almost directly knocked the Zenith technology, which was originally able to be colonized by human beings interstellarly, back to the Iron Age.
The second time, which was similar to the first, made humanity understand that the magic tide was a cyclical phenomenon, which led to a wave of research into supernatural powers in various city-states.
Most of the current knowledge system about transcendent beings was also studied at that time. For example, the famous "If you don't become a demigod, you will end up as a mortal", which greatly enhances the motivation of human beings to turn to the transcendent path.
Lv.15 is the embodiment of the law, which can turn the invisible law into a tangible entity, thus greatly enhancing the power of the law skill, and Lv.20 is the weaving field, which can transform the tangible self into an invisible law, so as to achieve a certain sense of "symbiosis with the law".
If the law does not die, I will not die. Unless you can suppress my realm, you can't destroy me completely.
Of course, the amount of spirituality required in the weaving realm is also quite staggering. Therefore, in the professional league, esports players usually use it as the ultimate ultimate.
And in the PVE game world, since the strength of the two sides of most battles is unequal, the demigods open the realm to call it an unscrupulous.
As soon as the law is combined, the domain is opened, and he will first become an immortal law, unless the opponent is also a demigod and uses the same level domain to suppress it, otherwise there is no way to fight at all.
Therefore, when the upper limit of the Demon Tide reaches Lv.20 and the demigods can freely open the realm without worrying about spiritual attrition, it marks that the strength of the transcendent camp has reached a critical point, and it is no longer the era when the demigods can be killed with a high-yield nuclear bomb.
According to historical conventions, at this time, the technology camp will honestly shrink up, praying that when the next round of magic tide comes, it will not be destroyed by the transcendent camp that takes the opportunity to sneak attack. However, the current Innocent Pope has put forward a new idea, which is called "mastering the skills of the master to control the country...... In fact, it is to cultivate demigods with a pro-Holy See stance to ensure that the Holy See can smoothly pass through this period of weakness.
And the position of this demigod has been identified as Miss Nora of the Licinius family. Taking advantage of this attack to calm the abnormal transformation of the Spiritual Tree, it was just the right time for her to gain a round of prestige with all her might.
"Asker said it's okay to publicize our achievements, but he's been busy lately and doesn't have time to attend any events." Nora was also a little helpless. While the Licinians had high expectations, Aske was clearly not interested at all.
"It's okay." Wally reassured that he didn't come, "We only need one person as the representative of the Azure Sword to follow His Majesty to various activities in the next period of time." ”
"Sister, this person has decided that it is you!"
"Me?" Nora was taken aback when she heard this, "Isn't this okay?" I'm not the head of the regiment! ”
"What does it matter, the masses don't care who is the leader of the Azure Sword, they just need a superhero to boost their confidence." Valyan said without hesitation, apparently already having an idea.
"Sister, you must be the right person for this. I remember you seemed to have won a host contest before? ”
"It was kindergarten!" Nora was so anxious that she stomped her foot, "I can't do it, really!" If I get on TV, what will everyone in the group think of me at that time? ”
"If you're worried about that, you can go talk to Asker." Walyan said, "Isn't it okay for him to approve you to represent the Azure Sword Mercenary Regiment?" ”
That's okay...... Nora thought for a moment, then agreed.
When she returned to Hearthfire Island, she saw Asker training Mia, who was probably stimulated by the adult Mia, shouting "I want to learn the Sword of Ripples", "I want to learn the law of black holes", "I want to grow up", which made Aske a little speechless.
The first two are okay to say, but the last one is you looking for me seriously? Lao Tzu is not Doraemon!
"Hey, Nora is here, she must have something to do with me." Asker said this, shaking off Miya's continued pestering, and turned to ask Nola, "What's wrong?" Is it still what your brother said? ”
"My brother wants to push me out as the propaganda representative of the Azure Sword to participate in this celebration." Nora said bluntly, "Of course, it is definitely not appropriate for me to go. So Asker can you ......"
"That's a good thing!" Aske immediately said in surprise, "I approve, and then you will be the image ambassador of our Azure Sword Mercenary Group, the spokesperson to the outside world." ”
Nola: ..................
"How can this be a good thing?" Nora asked angrily, "What is the matter that your regimental commander is here with a good decent, but you let me go out and show my face!" ”
"Nola, don't get excited." Aske reassured her, "Listen to me: first of all, the public prestige of a mercenary group determines whether high-value potential employers will come to you. So prestige is important, right? ”
"Yes, but ......"
"Secondly, is she a beautiful and lovely girl, easy to brush up on her reputation in public? Or is it easy for a poor man to win people's favor? ”
"But we're a mercenary group!"
"Because it is a mercenary group, there is absolutely no shortage of poor people." Asker said, "But pretty girls are the real scarce resource. ”
"So, a mercenary group that can afford to hire a beautiful girl is naturally a more powerful mercenary group, isn't it?"
"This ......," Nora instinctively felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't tell.
"Because of this, you are more suited to deal with public affairs for our team, and this is also an area where you can really use your expertise." Aske pressed her shoulders and said earnestly, "Shoulder the future of the team, Nola!" ”
"Good...... All right. Nola's face flushed slightly, revealing a strange expression of "I really can't help you", "Then you have to appoint me as the deputy head of the regiment, so that I can go out and introduce myself." ”
"No need for a deputy head of the regiment, I will appoint you as the honorary head of the regiment, the same level as me." Asker was unashamed.
"Uh-huh." Nora nodded.
She reluctantly left. Asker turned around, and saw Mia shaking her head, imitating Medea's tone and saying:
"Alas, what a deceitful girl, Asker, you scumbag."
Asker: !!
