Chapter 13: Separation
The process of convincing the Azure Sword was unexpectedly smooth.
Of course, Phoebus thinks that Asker is a good talker, and it is not because Asker himself has planned to lead the team to participate in this mutation from the beginning.
Unlike other mercenary groups that can't afford to make a profit, Asker's first priority in considering conditions from beginning to end is how to quickly improve the combat ability of team members.
The undead mutation is a rare opportunity to experience.
Since the night watchman has sent out an invitation, it is just the right time to negotiate the conditions.
After some haggling, the Chow of Swords mercenaries was given the status of an honorary member of the Night's Watch.
With this identity, in the future, when you meet other Night's Watch branches in other parts of the world, you will also have the same authority to trade, and you don't need to go through layers of approvals again.
Of course, this identity still has to be approved by the headquarters, but Phoebis has already patted his chest and promised that he can basically pass the review as long as he mentions it.
After all, the headquarters didn't know who the Azure Sword Mercenary Group was, and how much it had contributed to this undead mutationβnot what our Eastern Branch said.
"That's right." Phoebus remembered one more thing and reminded, "Before you can go to the Mutation Center, you need to go through a medical examination. β
"Medical exam?" Nora asked, puzzled.
"The breath of the three major planes is different from that of the main plane." Phoebis explained, "This aura can pollute your mind and body, causing the main mind to be negatively affected. β
"Take the underworld as an example, when we humans are in the underworld, we will inevitably have depression. This phenomenon will become more and more evident over time. β
"When you get depressed to a certain point, you fall into a state of semi-madness, and your mind goes out of control. Therefore, all those who enter the underworld must take antidepressants regularly. β
"One is to determine the basal level of serotonin in your body, and the other is to determine whether you have an allergic reaction to antidepressants."
"Huh? I remember serotonin, isn't that the scientific name for serotonin? Nora reacted suddenly.
Medea immediately pricked up her ears. Because serotonin happens to be the ingredient in her Conspiracy I formula.
"Well, I don't know much about medicine, but I've heard about the effects of the underworld on the human body, and one of them is serotonin concentration disorders." "So antidepressants are essential." β
So Asker took someone for a medical check-up.
If it were to be another hospital, he might have to worry about whether the genetic information would be leaked, after all, this is not a pure transcendent world, people take your blood sample, go to the laboratory for a long time, and they can analyze and guess your approximate sequence.
But you can rest assured in the face of the night watchman. As one of the few good-natured and orderly, the blood samples collected by the Night's Watch are open and transparent from testing to destruction, and will never retain any of your genetic information.
Of course, most foreign mercenaries don't care about that.
The inspection report came out quickly, packed in a specially sealed document bag, and the girls went to collect it in order of testing. Since the test is anonymous, only the person who received the sealed bag will be able to see the result.
However, this did not prevent the girls from opening the papers and looking at them, just as the female high school girls were keen to do psychological tests on each other.
"Why is your physical and mental strength relatively balanced, while mine is heavily weighted?" Sidlifa glanced at Eleanor's medical report and said in confusion.
"I don't know." Eleanor, of course, knew that this was because of "Will I", and quipped, "Maybe this spiritual power is influenced by my innate intelligence." β
"Doesn't that mean I'm born stupid?" Hidlifa was shocked, and hurriedly took the report to the group leader, and his tone was anxious with tears, "Asker! Asker!! You see, I must have been mistaken about this result......"
Asker listened to her and fell into a speechless silence: ...............
Mental strength has nothing to do with IQ itself, but Eleanor's evaluation of you is subtly just right.
He read all the girls' reports.
Overall, thanks to the previous few large-scale battles, everyone's physical attributes are higher than those of normal transcendents of the same level.
Medea, Nola, and Theodora are more spiritual, because their own bloodlines are dominated by the legal sequence.
Sidlifa focuses on physical strength, and it's only because she's level 1. The Titan bloodline is followed by a sequence of frost and thunder, which will rebalance her attributes.
The remaining members are basically balanced development of physical and mental strength, which is also the build characteristic of most players in the previous life.
In the words of the players, physical strength is suitable for recklessness and strong attacks; Psychic power is suitable for dogs, yin people.
Blindly reckless, if you are not careful, you will be killed by a dog.
Blindly dog, and easy to commotion all over the audience, the result is punched through.
Recklessness and dogs are the real and stable way of playing.
Even his own bloodline of weapon masters, known for his fierce and reckless style of operation A in the past, will inevitably absorb the sequence of "tactics" and "intuition" to improve his resistance to sneak attacks.
While he was silently thinking, Peggy was also quietly staring at his side face.
Her right hand silently pressed her physical examination report.
The last page, which was not seen by Asker, had the results of a special test written on it.
"The serotonin content is too low, and further specialized identification is recommended."
Everyone else's results were normal, but she was the only one who was abnormal.
The team is about to depart. If the results of the abnormal medical examination were seen by Asker, I am afraid she would have been left alone in the camp in the rear.
Can't let him know.
She couldn't let that happen.
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
A few hours later, the ranks of the Night Watch were approaching the beneath the canopy of the dead.
The first team consisted of more than 800 elite knights from the Holy Day, Silver Moon, and Morning Star.
Whenever they encounter the undead in the process of advancing, the large team will send a special team of knights to intercept them and ensure that the rest of them can continue to advance.
If you look down from the sky, you can see that they are advancing at full speed towards the center of the undead anomaly with such sharp knife tactics.
At the edge of the canopy, everyone was attacked by a wave of undead banshees.
"Let's go first." The Silvermoon Knight's Commander, Elowin, raised his rifle and rushed forward with a shout.
"Charge with me, the night watchman of the Silver Moon!"
More than a dozen power-armored knights, armed with guns, from the wings to protect the Lady Elowen who is activating her abilities.
The sea of light struck the banshee group like a tidal wave, and the black qi around the undead quickly evaporated into the air like dry ice.
This Lady Elowen is already a level-5 "Crusader of Death", and the extraordinary ability of the "Radiance II" mastered by her is the nemesis of all undead.
After separating from the Silver Moon Knights, there were only twenty Holy Day Knights left in the team, all of whom were the strongest among the Night Watch Knights.
They were led by Lord Bryce, commander of the Night's Watch Eastern Legion, and Colmo and Phoebus, the Knights of the Holy Day and Morning Star.
There are also all members of the Azure Sword Mercenary Group.
"There's the canopy of the dead ahead. Everyone immediately takes antidepressants at the standard dose! Bryce gave the order.
Then they took out the medicine and water that they had with them, and took them according to the amount they had prepared in advance.
"I suddenly felt energetic." Sidlifa said, moving her arm.
"That's just the placebo effect, it's your psychological effect." Nora smiled and said, "The drug is not absorbed so quickly. β
Peggy walked at the back of the line, feeling her heart grow more and more uneasy.
The drugs didn't do anything for her, her limbs began to heavily, and some kind of deep sadness took control of her consciousness.
Soon, she could barely see what lay ahead, as tears blurred her eyes.
She couldn't control the sorrow that spread inside her, and tears were uncontrollably rolling down her cheeks.
Two figures vaguely appeared in front of them.
Is it Asker? She struggled to keep her eyes open to see that it was her deceased father and mother.
"Peggy, come here." With a kind expression, her mother beckoned to her.
"Why did you cry like this? Girls can't be too squeamish. The father said in a majestic tone, but there was obvious affection in his eyes.
For a moment, Peggy had a kind of trance surprise, as if her parents had never died that day and were still with her life.
However, as a Level 2 transcendent, her spirituality quickly returned to normal.
No, they're not real.
My parents...... It's dead.
The surrounding light has dimmed, and Peggy, who has regained her senses, can only rely on her memory to determine her direction.
If I'm not mistaken, I should have stopped just now.
Well, Asker they should be right ahead.
But the two apparitions disguised as her parents also waved at her right in front of her, tempting her to pass.
Peggy couldn't move forward, and she didn't dare to run in any other direction, so she stayed where she was in place, crying out miserably in uncontrollable tears.
"Asker!" She folded her arms, trembling like an abandoned beast, and screamed with all her strength, "Asker! Asker !! β
"What's wrong?!" Just as she was about to slide into the abyss of despair, Asker's long-lost voice finally rang out, like a ray of sunlight shining through the clouds, appearing in her dark world.
"Asker!" Peggy grabbed his arm hard, and it seemed that all the strength of her body was quickly recovering, "Did you hear my shouts before you came back to me?" β
"Shouting?" Aske said strangely, "No, I didn't hear anything, I just noticed that you were left behind." When I turned back, I saw you kneeling on the ground and weeping. Didn't you take that antidepressant? β
"I ate it." Peggy said with some humility, "It just doesn't seem to work." β
"Let's go back quickly." Asker is calm and authentic.
The phantom of Peggy's parents, who had been haunting Peggy's in front of him, had also disappeared at this time, as if it had never appeared.
The two continued on their way. Peggy hugged Asker's arm and asked cautiously:
"Are you really Asker?"
"Yes." Aske said, "How do you need me to prove it?" β
"Then you say." Peggy thought for a moment and said, "Where did we first meet?" β
"Cemetery." Asker replied.
Peggy snorted, feeling some warmth in her cold heart.
"That's not right." Asker stopped suddenly.
"At our current pace, we should have caught up with them a long time ago, but there was not even a sound around." He fiddled with the radio headset, "No contact signal received, and psychic communication was silent. β
"You mean......" Peggy said anxiously.
"We are separated from them." Asker frowned.
