Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Dispute of the Royal Court

"Come, Sidlifa, drink the medicine!" Nora said with a smile on her face, holding the potion of Frost I in her hand.

"Uh, that ......," Sidlifa hesitated, "I had a potion of 'Ancient X', didn't I just take it for a short time?" ”

"Digested?" Medea asked.

"Hmm......" Sidlifa tilted her head, "seems to have a little left?" ”

"So?" Nora laughed and exclaimed, "Ellie, Sidlifa said that there is still a remnant of the potion, come and help her digest it!" ”

"Wait, wait!" Sidlifa hurriedly shouted, "Delusion! It's a delusion! After a few battles with the Crusaders, I've digested it! ”

No matter how natural she is, after being beaten by everyone for an afternoon, she has already noticed that something is wrong.

It was as if Asker had made her a key training target, forcing her to take the next bottle of potion as soon as possible.

"Really?" Nora said suspiciously, turning her head to look at Medea.

"Well, barely lying." Medea read her shallow thoughts, "There may be remnants, but they are also negligible. ”

"Then take your medicine." Nora gave her "Frost I" and colored Medea at the same time. The latter immediately understood, and left Hearthfire Island first.

Sidlifa looked at the potion with a sad face, and poured it down as if resigned to his fate.

Seeing her cooperate so well, Nora seemed to be in a good mood and hummed a little tune.

In her spiritual vision, she saw countless angelic spirits floating down, humming melodious melodies with her.

Angel Song, launched.

As Frost I's potion dropped, Sidlifa immediately noticed that her body temperature was rapidly decreasing, as if she was being immersed in the cold seawater, and her body was losing heat all the time.

First she lost sensation in her lower abdomen, then her legs and chest, then her arms and neck, and the thick bruise began to spread upwards, engaging her consciousness at the neck.

Nora pressed her hand to her forehead, using the power of "Spirit I" to smooth her spiritual fluctuations.

So Sidlifa maintained some kind of strange sobriety, uneasily feeling more cold rising from the depths of her abdomen, and then ...... Gradually subsided.

"Ah~" she moaned comfortably, "It's like taking a cold shower after sweating profusely." ”

Sidlifa, officially promoted to Lv.3.

Nora suddenly felt jealous, because she was still hovering at Lv. 2, although the next bottle of "Soul I" was already in her hand......

"Now that it's preliminarily stable, let's work hard to digest this bottle of potion." Nora said with a smile, waving Eleanor and Peggy, "Ellie, you guys come to practice~"

"Huh! Why do I have to fight you when I've taken potions......" Sidlifa groaned.

The royal court of Sparta.

As the former Council of Elders, the Spartan royal court has been surrounded by passionate Spartan warriors.

Their anger was directed at the mercenary leaders in the royal court.

When did the martial Spartans need to rely on foreign mercenaries to protect themselves?

"Contemptible Andrea, the head of the Eastern branch of the Iron Cross Mercenary Regiment, this time for the anomaly on Mount Tegetus." Andrea said eloquently, "Our mercenary group has brought 100 people this time, and there are more than 20 transcendents among them, all of whom are experienced in dealing with mutations. ”

"Sparta doesn't need outsiders to help." The current king of the Spartan city-state, Castos, said coldly.

"It's not a help." Andrea smiled faintly, "This is just a hiring offer from the Iron Cross Mercenary Regiment. If you pay for it, we will pay for it, and you can take what you need. ”

Castsos fell silent and made eye contact with Lysander, another Spartan co-king.

The transcendent creature that came from Mount Tegetus is a monster known as a "snow monster" with the ability of the "Frost" sequence.

The Spartan city-state was not without transcendentals, but as a democratic city-state with a strong martial culture, most of their transcendent routes were biased towards physics, which happened to be restrained by the "frost" sequence.

When the Transcendents fight the Snow Monsters, the cold temperature of the frost will be transmitted to the Transcendent's body along the metal swords and shields.

Within ten seconds of contact, the hand holding the sword or shield will freeze and become unconscious. Spartan warriors tried wrapping their arms in strips of cloth or cotton, but with little effect.

The most effective way to do this, of course, is to switch to ranged attacks, such as the Gunslinger or the Arcane Sequence Transcendent.

However, this is contrary to the cultural customs of the Spartans. The culture of the Spartans is the culture of macho men, and they are tough on the front, and now they want to ask for help from the mages of Cyrius, who they used to look down upon? That's impossible!

At least for now, the vast majority of traditional Spartan warriors are still very resistant to foreign intervention.

Of course, the Spartans were just reckless, not stupid, and once most people realized that the snow monsters could not be eliminated through hand-to-hand combat, and the mainstream public opinion in the city changed, then the two kings would send a plea for help from Olin City, and there would not be much opposition.

However, the arrival of the Eastern Branch of the Iron Cross Mercenary Regiment intensified the conflict in the city about whether to ask for reinforcements in advance.

"Get out of here!" There was a loud cheer from the crowd outside.

"Who just objected?" Andrea asked, turning around, opening her hands with great grace, and smiling.

"Me! Agosilauth! The young Spartan warrior lined up the crowd, pointed at the Frankish nobleman and said, "Sparta can solve its own affairs, and you don't need to meddle!" ”

"The young man looks confident and good." Andrea nodded, "However, looking at your intact appearance, you shouldn't have fought against the snow monster from Mount Tegetus, right?" ”

The young warrior named Agosilaus immediately blushed when he heard this.

The answer, of course, is obvious, if he had fought with the snow monster, the warrior would not have said "Sparta doesn't need help".

"Your Majesty." Andrea smiled and said, "Maybe we can do a simple experiment to assess whether Spartan needs our help." ”

The two kings looked at him in silence and did not speak.

In this case, however, silence is acquiescence. Andrea read this keenly, then clapped her hands and called another mercenary from outside the crowd in:

"Herman!"

From outside the crowd walked a gloomy blonde young man, with a sword at his waist, a short axe on his back, and a cloth robe emblazoned with a steel cross.

"Herman is a high-level transcendent in our regiment, and currently holds the Frost Sequence." Andrea smiled and said, "Although his physical fitness is not as strong as the snow monster, this Spartan warrior, if you can defeat him in the face of frost, then we think you have the ability to fight the snow monster alone." ”

The two kings remained silent, but turned their gaze to the Agesilaus.

Agosilaus immediately stepped forward, drew the long sword at his waist, and said:

"Good!"
