The unrest in the army bazaar was quickly quelled.

In this world where extraordinary abilities exist, there is a big gap between the strength of armored knights and ordinary soldiers, not only in terms of equipment, but also in terms of quality. Even in groups of soldiers, it was still difficult to fight against the smaller number of knights.

A stray bullet struck the Emperor in the head in the confusion, and although nothing happened, it still angered the old man.

So in addition to the soldiers who were killed on the spot, the remaining more than 600 soldiers who were captured and surrendered were all sentenced to death by hanging by the angry emperor.

Hundreds of corpses were hung on gallows at the edge of the barracks, fluttering in the wind for crows to eat, and the resentment in the army was quickly calmed down – or rather into fear.

The bazaar was permanently closed, and now the soldiers and knights had nowhere to go but to stay in their small, cramped tents chatting, cursing at the emperor, and muttering.

The Blade Warriors' spies in the army soon recorded almost a large number of complaints against the emperor. They wisely chose not to report it immediately, but to seal it as a file, because there were so many people involved.

If the increasingly suspicious emperor knew about it, it would definitely be a night of long knives, and the blood would be flowing.

The Azure Sword Mercenary Group also entered some kind of predicament at the same time.

The clue came to the acid erosion dragon, and everyone had no way to directly investigate this demigod, so they could only use the fantasy dragon Bruno to save the country.

After some investigation, Bruno suspected that the mastermind behind the scenes was far stronger than he imagined, so he made up his mind to investigate himself and not let the Azure Sword interfere.

"So what are we going to do now?" Medea asked, "Just waiting for Bruno to find out?" Even if there were results, he wouldn't necessarily tell us, would he? ”

"That's right." "So we're going to bring in more forces and make this a mess." ”

"More messy?"

"Yes."

In the evening, the group secretly left the barracks. Outside, beside the gallows, Asker shoved a copper coin into the mouth of the corpse's lowered head.

After a while, the fog rose again, and a small boat slipped out of the fog, and Appilius and the ferryman fluttered down.

Asker recounted the matter in general, and the lord of Olympia listened with a blank face, and said:

"Tell me the time and place of the prisoner's death."

"April 14, around 10 p.m." Asker replied, "In the trenches north of the city of Verona. ”

"Okay." Apperios said in a deep voice, "The line of the Acid Erosion Dragon, my opinion is the same as that of the Fantasy Dragon, you don't interfere in the investigation for the time being, just wait." ”

"As long as the dragon of fantasy continues to investigate in this direction, it is impossible for the emperor's coalition army to remain calm. When the time is right, you can act again. ”

The mystery of Apyrius was also quite puzzled, but soon the city lord took out a bottle of potion and everyone shut up.

"Theodora." Apperius said this, placing the potion in Sheila's hand, "You need to be promoted as soon as possible. ”

"The Holy See's offensive will not stop for long. If there's any danger, like Asker, shove the coin into the mouth of a nearby corpse. ”

"Grandpa will come over."

"yes, okay." Sheila nodded vigorously.

"Alright, I'm leaving." With one last words, Appilios re-embarked on the boat and disappeared into the mist of the River Styx with the ferryman.

"It's a potion of gravity IV." Sheila checked it spiritually and turned back to Asker.

"Look, Medea." Aske sighed, "This is the elder of the family, can your mother also learn it?" ”

"I said I don't have a mother-daughter relationship with her." Medea said helplessly.

"Then I'll have to light wax for her." Asker took out another candle, the one Malkina had given him, and quickly lit it.

The candle flame flickered in the twilight of dusk, and soon Malkina was within the radiance of the candle flame.

"So you've found the mastermind? The real culprit who affected the emperor's mind? After quickly scbing the surroundings to make sure that no one was there, Malkina asked with a smile.

"No, we're just hitting an obstacle." Asker said.

"Then what did you call me here for, to get in touch with feelings?" Malkina smiled sweetly and tried to put her arm around his shoulder, but Medea impatiently opened it.

After briefly explaining the matter, Malkina folded her arms and supported her cheek with one hand, thought for a moment and said:

"The dragon of fantasy is right. Since the demigods who have been infected by the mind have been involved, the risk of uncertainty is too great for you to continue to investigate. ”

"Well, you wait for the right time, and wait for the dragon of fantasy to find out the results."

Malkina's opinion is the same as that of Appilius, and it is not recommended that everyone go directly to track down the Acid Dragon, and let everyone wait for the opportunity...... The problem is that you have to complete the mission to have a potion! When will I get the potion that this quest is delaying here? When will the rest of the people be promoted to Lv10?

"What if the dragon of fantasy finds out the results, but he keeps them secret?" Asker asked, "Can you rule this out?" ”

"Huh." Malkina chuckled, "Actually, not long ago, after your reminder to Asker, I discovered that the Emperor had a strange fantasy dragon that had gone to us. ”

"He and ......" Aske almost uttered the word "your mother", "he knows the Succubus Queen?" ”

"They are all demigods of the spiritual system, why don't you know each other?" Malkina smiled and groaned, "But he is very hostile, probably because he suspects that His Majesty is behind it." ”

"Oh." Aske nodded, "So how did you convince him?" ”

"Your Majesty told him that we have entrusted a mercenary group named the Azure Sword to help investigate this matter." Malkina said.

All:..................

"So the dragon of fantasy already knows......" Medea said in disbelief.

"That's right." Malkina smiled, "He knows your motives for pursuing this matter, and he also knows that Camelliga is His Majesty's own daughter. Since His Majesty was able to send his daughter into this mercenary group and send her to the camp of the Emperor's coalition army, the accusations of the dragon of fantasy against His Majesty were naturally shaken. ”

"You're taking me hostage?" Medea was extremely upset.

"Don't say it so badly, it's just a mutual relationship to dispel hostility and build trust." Malkina said lightly, "The dragon of fantasy is completely unable to trust His Majesty's position and attitude, but he trusts you unexpectedly very much, Lord Asker. It just so happens that Your Majesty is willing to give you enough trust because of Medea. ”

"So, based on us, you have made a deal with the Dragons of Fantasy." Sheila was keenly aware of what she meant.

"That's right." Malkina snapped her fingers, and there was an extra scroll in her hand, "Your Majesty is willing to pass on some of the information to the dragon of fantasy through your hands; And the fantasy dragon is willing to inform you in time after finding out what clues, so as to achieve the purpose of indirect communication with His Majesty. ”

"Next, you are our messenger to the dragon of fantasy, a bridge between the two sides and indirect communication." She tossed the scroll to Asker, "Take it." ”

"Can I open it?" Asker asked.

"Whatever you want." Malkina winked.
