"His Highness Ferdinand?" In the island of the hearth, the girls heard the name and asked curiously, "Who?" ”

"I don't know." Asker shook his head, "I heard it's a prince of the Kingdom of Aragone-Castia. ”

"Oh." The girls nodded their heads, and only Mi'er showed a helpless wry smile beside her.

When she first set out from Valencia City, she sensed that someone was spying on her by some means, so she activated her super destiny ability to observe the world line in detail.

The result, of course, was all figured out. The Azure Sword and the royal family of Aragon did not have any personal enmity per se, only because there were some differences of interest in the Bull Mercenary Regiment and in these matters in Lucitania.

However, Ferdinand made three and two attempts to obstruct it, but in the end he was defeated. On the other hand, everyone on their side doesn't even know what the other party is doing against us, and the difference in strength is too big to this extent, which really makes people feel a little sympathetic.

Miserable, Ferdinand, so miserable.

Since the other party has been defeated in a mess, of course Mi'er didn't bother to tell everyone about it, but just explained it to Shirley casually, and asked her to inform the demigods behind the other girls to take care of His Royal Highness the prince who jumped up and down.

As for the focus of the girls' concerns, they have already jumped to the next step.

"Asker, you've mastered the 'Provocation' skill, right?" Sheila asked.

"Hmm." Asker nodded. With the help of the Plantagenet mercenaries, he finally completed the last bit of accumulation that day and was successfully promoted to Lv. 19.

It's only one step away from being a demigod.

"Great." The girls said this against their will, looking at each other, looking at their expressions but not much in celebration. Medea, in particular, had a dark haze in her eyes as thick as the clouds before a storm, almost dripping cold water.

"It doesn't matter. Progress is not important, everyone continue to work hard and strive to become a demigod as soon as possible. Seeing that everyone's faces were wrong, Aske thought that the girls were sad because they had been dropped in rank, so he comforted everyone and said gently.

Then the girls all smiled reluctantly.

In this way, no matter how many thoughts were in everyone's hearts, joy, sorrow, excitement, and frustration, Asker and Peggy's godhood ceremony finally began today.

………………

City of Solomon, Holy See.

In the last six months, the overall direction of Giotto's Clock has been unstable, sometimes moving forward for a few minutes, sometimes backward for a few minutes, and the believers in the square are dying of immortals, and the stone slabs are covered with old bloodstains knocked out.

Fortunately, if you ignore the small disturbances in a short period of time, the overall trend of the entire doomsday countdown is only a linear acceleration, and there is no terrifying oscillation scene that suddenly jumped for 2-3 hours before.

As Giotto's Bell swayed repeatedly, the cardinals began to whisper to His Majesty. Although the BI data department didn't say anything, everyone knows who is tossing their chaotic algorithms and fragile nerves.

On the other hand, every time the clock is closer to the end of the world, Bishop Vallian's momentum at the cardinal council is a little more aggressive, and there is a lot of arrogance of "my sister is R4, if you don't listen to me, I will let my sister destroy the world", which made the other bishops also very depressed.

However, the Azure Sword Mercenary Group was not without merit. The valuable prehistoric database that they brought up from the abyss before, the synthesizer who called himself "Cape", has brought great shock and help to the Holy See today.

His Majesty even made a bold statement that Mr. Capet was enough to top five synths.

"The Azure Sword? R4？ In the laboratory that afternoon, after listening to a cardinal's concern, Cape said curiously, "I really don't understand why you would trust the analysis of a supercomputer?" You know, a program is a program after all. ”

Aren't you also a synth? Strictly speaking, it's also a computer program! The cardinal sneered.

"But in terms of computing power and reasoning ability alone, Raphael, a super artificial intelligence, is undoubtedly stronger than all of us combined, isn't he?" "Isn't it true that Raphael can calculate the results faster and more accurately than we can with limited clues?" ”

"Yes." "But don't forget. ”

"Human beings are a combination of emotion and reason, and computer computing is based on absolute reason. Using absolute rationality to calculate uncertain perceptual units is prone to incompatible bugs. ”

Cardinal:???

I can understand every noun, but why are they so weirdly connected? After all, you are also a product of artificial intelligence, so is it really okay to speak ill of artificial intelligence like this?

"Of course, I can't understand that." I heard Capet say again, "After all, I'm just a synthetic, and these are all set up in my cognitive program by Capet's director." ”

Director Capet...... The cardinal was stunned for a moment before he realized that he was referring to the former master of this synth, the director of the Abyssal Underground Research Institute thousands of years ago.

He couldn't help but feel melancholy. In the prehistoric era of advanced science and technology, how energetic human beings were at that time. Even super artificial intelligence is just a tool in their eyes.

How is it that we are so cowardly now?

At this moment, Raphael's voice suddenly came from the speaker at the top of the laboratory:

"Lord Leonardo, please come to the Cardinal Conference Center at the Lateran Palace at once."

"Then I'll go back, you get busy first." The cardinal's heart was shocked, and he hurriedly said to Capet.

Capet nodded coldly, not answering.

Since coming to the Holy See, the academic authority has basically been exploited for it, but the political side has never let it know about its participation, and the intention of vigilance is undisguised.

The red light in its eyes flickered for a moment, and then it continued with the experiment at hand.

At the Council of Cardinals, Bishop Ryanardo was the last to arrive in the chamber and saw the bishops sitting upright in their seats, looking solemnly and solemnly, looking at the data presented by Raphael on the screen.

“…… Just now, according to the information sent back by the Azure Sword. "We can already confirm that two of them are ...... He has been promoted to the demigod rank. ”

There was an immediate uneasy commotion among the cardinals. If I remember correctly, this mercenary group officially came into their sight, probably at the end of the year before last, and at that time, they didn't even have a law-level transcendent inside.

In a year and a half, two demigods have appeared, and this speed is really fast enough.

"Your Majesty." Bishop Leonardo, who arrived late, asked, "Is the news reliable?" ”

The Iberian Peninsula is now shrouded in darkness that is impermeable to neither electromagnetic waves nor optical detections, so how did we get the news?

"Message from the Pure-Blood Hermitage of the Belladonna Flower, Lord Agrippina." Innocent said lightly.

Then the cardinals began to talk again.

The Pure-Blood Hermitage has supernatural means of communication within it, and it will not be shielded by the Dark Canopy. As for why Agrippina informed the Holy See about it, it was probably for the purpose of the demonstration - the pure-blood hermitage has recently been active in the underground world of Italy and Sicily.

But now everyone's concern is not about this, but about the specific object of becoming a demigod: according to Agrippina, one of them is none other than her personal apprentice Peggy, the one who has mastered the law of death.

In other words, as long as Bishop Valyan's sister can also be promoted to a demigod on the basis of the law of evolution. The Essentia Tree suppressed by the Holy See underground can officially start its destruction plan.

"In the next few years, according to our original plan, the Holy See's work priorities are planned to be three." Innocent said in a deep voice, and everyone immediately listened in silence.

"First, as much as possible with Nola. Valennis. Miss Licinius made contact and deepened their trust. In this regard, the Licinius family is invited to cooperate closely. ”

With His Majesty's gaze coming over, Bishop Valyan nodded earnestly.

"Second, build on the first point and help Nora as much as possible. Valennis. Miss Licinius, advance to the demigod rank as quickly as possible, and cooperate with Miss Peggy to permanently destroy the Essentia Tree! ”

Not "repression", but "destruction", which also gave the cardinals at the scene a little heartened. After all, not everyone likes to work on top of a huge pile of death powder.

"Third." Holy See Innocent paused here, and his majestic gaze slowly swept over everyone present:

"On the basis of completing the first and second points......"

"Unleash the full power of our Solomon Holy See and the artificial intelligence Raphael to permanently dismantle and dismantle the Azure Sword Mercenary Group!"
