Chapter 176: You Will Return Like Lightning

Nola's "running away from home" story is simpler than Eleanor's.

After all, she has money.

After leaving Italy and the peninsula, he made a phone call home, saying that he was going to "travel the world" and go to the Eastern Solomonic Empire first.

The family didn't stop her, but quickly sent her money, not only for her daily travel, but also for her to hire an elite escort team to protect herself.

This girl is also big-hearted, she didn't hire a single guard, and took a cruise ship directly around the Cireus Peninsula and came to Constantinople, the imperial capital of the East Solomons, to start eating, drinking, and having fun, and everyone knows the story behind it.

If there had been no Asker, such as in the game of the previous life, this eighty percent would have escaped home before the city of Constantinople was broken.

Unlike Eleanor, Nora will regularly report her safety to her family, so there is a high probability that she will take Eleanor with her. The latter, as the daughter of the Weissbach family, is of course enough to be a guest of the Licinii Group.

On the contrary, low-level characters like Sidlifa and Peggy may not be able to escape when the city is broken.

In short, having money means that you can eat anywhere, which is really true.

"You still haven't said why you chose to join my mercenary group at that time." Asker said.

"At that time, one thought it was fun, after all, you could become a transcendent." Nora laughed and said, "The other one is that Peggy really scared me back then. ”

"The healing ability of a regular wound is simply not so fast, but Peggy's wound flesh can wriggle and heal on its own, which left a very deep impression on me at the time - before that, my understanding of the transcendent was nothing more than a human who ran faster and had more strength, and it was essentially a human being, you understand?"

Aske nodded, "That's what I asked Peggy to show her abilities to you for. ”

"Uh-huh." "So at first, I chose to join your team just because of my interest and curiosity, but then I ...... And then you know. ”

Asker didn't know what to say, and was a little embarrassed. In fact, compared to joining the mercenary group, Nora will fall in love with him to be more mysterious, which is simply the standard plot of Bai Fumei falling in love with a poor boy.

But he's not a poor boy with nothing, he's also a professional player who travels through the game world, and he's ahead of this era in all aspects of his combat awareness, and he accepts a fan girl after showing off his supergod strength, isn't it also a normal thing?

"Phew, don't stink!" Nora scolded jokingly, turned around and cooked the pot of broth again, "When my dish is ready in the afternoon, you remember to come and try it half an hour before dinner, so as not to be discovered by others." ”

"It's really touching how much this little stove opens." Asker said half-truthfully.

Leaving the kitchen, Aske thought again: the adult girls had already communicated, so it was the turn of the remaining four little ones.

After a round on Hearthfire Island, Aske finally found Sheila and Peggy, sitting side by side, on the northern headland, and the two were singing:

"Under the city of San Romanus, you left for another place. And an angel will bring you here, and in due time, in Hagia Sophia, you will return like lightning......"

As she sang and sang, Sheila began to burst into tears, and Peggy caught the lyrics she had stopped and slowly sang to the end.

"What are you doing?" Asker walked over and asked.

"Recently, a new song came out from Ciris's side, which is quite touching." Sheila said, wiping her eyes.

"It is said that because the Athenian Orthodox Church gave an oracle of God, a certain purple-clothed nobleman, the king of kings, will finally return with the angel of the Lord and revive the ancient and glorious Solomonic Empire." Peggy also explained, "So the musicians of Cirith wrote the lyrics and composed the music according to the prophecy, and they all sang it to Bavaria...... We recently heard Macedonian immigrants in the city singing this song. ”

Asker knew that it was Apperius building momentum for his granddaughter Zoe.

However, until the point in time he crossed over, the Epirus** monarchy was unable to counterattack Constantinople. After all, without the help of the West, the difference in strength between the Syrith Peninsula and the Seljuk Empire is too great.

The revival of Solomon's empire is, after all, just a luxury,

"I have a recent ......" Aske told Peggy and Sheila about the assassination of the demigods.

"And this? I asked Master. Peggy said in amazement, and went back to find the diary.

"That's not what you're trying to say." Seeing Peggy leave in a panic, Sheila wiped away her tears, hugged her knees and said.

After all, listening to Asker's description, this plan to assassinate the demigods should mainly be Agrippina responsible for playing the main force, completely entangling Alberto, and creating space and time that can kill with one hit.

Asker simply plays the role of the last assassin, similar to the role of the executioner. If everything goes according to plan, he won't be at great risk.

"Are you worried about the aftermath of the demigod's death? Once the Hidden Strings die, the Wolf army that invaded Bavaria will collapse immediately, right? Sheila said with a slight frown.

"Without the Wolff's control, Weissbach would be able to send his forces northwest without any worries and cooperate with the Emperor's coalition to penetrate Franconia...... No, with the urine nature of these Western feudal nobles, the Duke of Bavaria would have written to the Duke of Franconia in private, in exchange for Franconia's defection to the Bavarian army on the grounds that he had no chance of victory in interceding in front of the emperor. ”

"Then the army of the Weissbach family marched straight through the territory of the griffons, who had surrendered on the wind, to welcome the arrival of Emperor Otto's army, so as to make a contribution to the emperor's camp without losing too much strength in the war."

"You know that." Aske exclaimed. This little princess is simply ice and snow smart, but it's a pity that she was put on the throne when she was too young.

If she ascends to the throne seven or eight years later, with the experience brought by her intelligence and age, not to mention Zoe and the church, at least she can keep Constantinople alive.

"And what do you think we should do?" Asker sat down beside her.

"My opinion is that we should assassinate this demigod quickly." Sheila said.

"Why?" Asker asked.

"Because of the second round of the Demon Tide." Sheila replied.

The waves crashed and washed the sand, and in the sound of a small crash, Asker was heard laughing and saying:

"I want to hear about it."

"First of all, overall." Sheila said, "The strategic timing of Emperor Otto's southern expedition is far inferior to his father's. ”

"Otto I's southern expedition to Italy and Canada originated from the 'Blanga Rebellion' in the Lombardy region, and Pope John XII took the initiative to ask the HRE Emperor for help."

In fact, John XII himself was unpopular in Italy. On the one hand, his own power is the product of the 'academic gate', and the Thirteen are unwilling to allow the Holy See to become hereditary. ”

"On the other hand, John XII's own political ability was inadequate, and he achieved almost nothing for several years in the Lateran Palace, draining all the prestige that his father had left behind."

"The timing chosen by Otto I is the most detached moment for the Holy See and the Thirteen Giants. It can even be said that the Florentine faction, represented by the Medici family, was even willing to introduce foreign forces to change the distribution of Solomon's interests. ”

On the contrary, Innocent's prestige in the Holy See is now unparalleled, and there is no conflict between the Thirteen Giants and the Holy See. When there was no division between the scientific and industrial schools in Solomon's City, the Holy See, which was ahead of the generations in technology, was almost invincible in the current world. ”

"The reason why I say 'almost' is, of course, ......"

"Magic Tide." Asker nodded slowly.

"What Emperor Otto is waiting for, and the only thing he can rely on in this southern expedition, is the upcoming second round of the Demon Tide."
