Chapter 14: The So-Called Father
Does it still hurt? ”
After the training, Asque approached Medea and asked with concern.
"It's fine." Being cared for by her boyfriend like this, Medea felt a little sweet warmth, as if the pain in her body was gone for a while.
I heard Aske say again: "Okay, help me connect to Sidlifa, I have something to ask her." ”
Medea: ..................
I'll grass you scumbag!
She cursed silently in her heart, but still honestly connected Asker with Sidlifa's communication.
"Asker?" Sidlifa's voice on the other side was a little surprised.
"Sidlifa, how's it going?" Asker laughed, "How are you doing in the Outwells?" ”
He had expected Sidley to say "It's fine" with a big grin, but there was only silence on the other side.
"Medea?" Asker turned around and asked Medea if her abilities had failed.
Then he heard Sidlifa whisper:
"Asker, do you think the mercenary group and the transcendent family can coexist? I mean...... Can I be both a Norman and a mercenary of the Cyan Sword? ”
Asker: ???
"Do you mean that you feel the warmth of your family, so you want to quit the group now?" He asked, laughing and crying.
Medea next to her also changed her face: What, Sidlifa is leaving the group? Wouldn't I have to fight alone......
"Nope." Sidlifa decisively denied it, "It's just that Robert recently talked to me about it. ”
According to Sidlifa, the two of them knew that it was Robert who had already noticed the existence of the Blue Sword Mercenary Group, after all, everyone was not on TV once or twice, and there was no way to hide the fame in this regard.
However, the paradox of the Normans was that they had no concept of loyalty and betrayal, so Robert did not warn or encourage Sidlifa's possible "collaboratorship" without warning.
For example, Robert himself was a demigod who came to Sicily a few years ago to join his brother William. It stands to reason that there is another demigod in the family, and William should welcome him.
However, the fact is that the two broke up unhappily, William thought that Robert's arrival would shake his dominance over the Ottville family, and Robert humbly said I didn't mean that, I just came to your brother's side to be a nobleman.
As a result, William said Okay, the territory is there, in the Holy See, I will mark some northern horn soldiers for you, you can fight yourself!
Robert:..................
Because of this, although Robert is a demigod of the Outwell family, he actually has no sense of identity with the family. To put it bluntly, the Ottwell family is a family ruled by William, what does its rise and fall do to me Robert? Unless the family ends up in my hands, that's another story.
Therefore, Robert wanted Sidlifa to come over and ask the Azure Sword, do we want to cooperate to play a big vote? For example, stealing the family or something......
This made Sidlifa very entangled. When this spy itself made me uncomfortable, and now I want to evolve into a double agent? Wouldn't it be too much?
On the one hand, she felt extremely awkward, and on the other hand, she felt very guilty, as if she had betrayed her team and her family at the same time. It just so happened that Asker connected the communication this time, and she could just tell everyone about it.
"That's right." Asker pondered for a moment, "What do you think, Medea?" ”
"Working with Sidlifa's father is actually in our plan." Medea smiled and said, "According to the available information, Lord Robert's situation in the Outville family is not very ideal. ”
"If we can work together, of course it will save us a lot of effort. The only question was His Excellency Robert's own will, and now that he had taken the initiative to bring it up, it would have been better. ”
"Really?" Sidlifa secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"I see." Asker also understood: sending Sidlifa into the other family's family was not only used to spy on the corresponding information, but even had the intention of plotting against her father from the beginning.
If we can win a demigod to join us, the risk of the project will be greatly reduced. It's just a trick for a daughter to rebel against her father...... Although Sidlifa himself has no objection to this, Aske asks himself if he can't come up with such a sinister idea, which is really worthy of a plan that only Medea can come up with.
Aske thought with emotion, but Medea's mental activity at this time was completely different from his. Because Miss Succubus keenly noticed that Sidlifa's last sentence "yes" hid a bit of relief.
That is, now she doesn't want us to be enemies of Robert? Her original hostility and antipathy to this father has loosened a little?
Medea smacked her tongue secretly. If that's the case, of course, it's a good thing, and it's equivalent to saying that there is another potentially usable demigod in their network list.
But only if what Hidlifa's father said was true, and not if he had other plans for the Azure Sword. Medea had heard of the cunning of Normans like Icewolf, and she didn't think that the other party would become 100% friendly to everyone because of the existence of a daughter.
Well, judging Robert's attitude by Sidlifa alone is obviously not cautious and thorough, and there is still a chance to cultivate some additional ear and eye puppets......
While thinking to herself, Medea smiled and said to Sidlipha:
"In this way, don't rush to reply to your father first, we will arrange time to discuss with him later."
"yes, I see." Sidlifa nodded.
When the communication was over, she got up from her bed and pushed open the outside door.
Sidlifa's room was located deep in the court, outside a small separate courtyard that was cleaned by two Sicilian maids.
The two maids were nowhere to be seen, and Robert was sitting on the edge of the flowerbed, one boot casually stepping on the tiles, and a cigarette in his hand.
"How?" He looked at his daughter.
"Wait." Sidlifa was succinct and to the point.
"Oh." Robert didn't show any expression, just patted the tile next to him.
Sidlifa was silent, walked over to him, and sat down.
Neither of them spoke, just remained silent, and it seemed that it was a rather strange father-daughter way of getting along. In fact, both sides understand what the other means.
Sidlifa is waiting for an explanation about her mother, Sally's past. Why would a mother be dumped in that kind of place by a person? And was it forced to do that kind of business? Why did the mother never mention the father's name, and what happened between the two?
However, Robert did not mean to explain, he just silently took the last puff of cigarette, then dropped the cigarette butt on the ground, and said:
"In November, there will be a Viking trial in the family."
"In the Northlands, this trial would have been to swim across the North Sea, hunt a white bear alone, and then return in its skin...... But this is Sicily, and we don't have a place to find white bears, so we take other content instead. ”
"You go to this trial."
"Hmm." Sidlifa replied in a low voice.
