The small talk with Quintus didn't last long.

Aske was keenly aware that although the other party said "no doubt", there seemed to be some tentative meaning in the subconscious.

After all, it was his father who made the judgment that "the blue sword can't be a traitor", not himself.

In addition, Quintus also appeared very interested in the violent explosion that occurred in the middle of the town at that time, but did not ask questions for some reason.

Since the other party didn't ask, Aske was naturally happy to pretend to be stupid and pretend not to notice the other party's curiosity.

So after a polite trial, Quintus said goodbye to Aske on the pretext of "going back to host the drinking party".

Aske watched him leave the balcony, remembering what had happened before.

It was after he had killed the White Assassin and he had awakened in Hood's room, and the Quintus officer had led a group of men in to thank him for saving Olin.

In fact, according to Rasul, the Illanian Assassins and the city lord behind Quintus were actually in league at all.

That is, at that time they actually sabotaged their plans? That's why they started investigating their own team?

After agreeing to become an honorary member of the Illanyan Assassin Order, Rasul should have stopped supplying information in this area, so Quintus of the city lord's power personally went out to interview him.

As for the harmlessness of the Azure Sword, it may not be as Quintus said, just based on a surname. No, it was Rasul who came forward to vouch for it.

All sorts of speculations, inferences, and clues swirled around in his mind, and Asker caught a glimpse of a petite figure standing at the edge of the crowd inside.

It's Sheila in a mask.

"What did he tell you?" Quietly walking to the edge of the balcony, Sheila said in a low voice.

"I'm very interested in our strengths." Asker replied.

"That's all?" Sheila was a little stunned, but also as if relieved.

"Medea's incident was an accident." Aske said lightly, "She showed extraordinary strength in the war, so it increased our official exposure. As the son of the city lord, it was natural for him to come over and personally test and confirm. ”

"I had a nightmare yesterday." Sheila covered her forehead in some pain, frowned and said, "I dreamed that my grandfather asked me fiercely why I wanted to abandon my responsibilities and choose to be a wandering mercenary. ”

"That's why I saw him talking to you just now, and I thought he had found out......"

As she spoke, she gradually fell silent: "Maybe I'm just too nervous. I need to have some drinks. ”

"I'll go back with you." Asker said.

————————

When the feast was over, the drunken mages left the court in farewell to each other, while Sparta and the mercenaries were almost all drunk on the spot and began to fall asleep.

The girls of the Green Sword were somewhere in between, and Sidlifa and Mia were already drunk and wanted to play some drunken mania on the spot, but Nora was rewarded with a hand knife and overturned, and Eleanor and Peggy walked back.

Medea also drank a lot of wine, and her face was flushed with a beautiful flush, but she did not lose her mind, and before leaving, she stuffed the unopened bottles of red wine on the table into her clothes.

When I returned to the barracks, it was about 11 o'clock at night. Abandoned by everyone, Hood was sleeping in the bunk outside, and the floor was littered with all kinds of strangely shaped mechanical parts, all of which were useless gadgets he had made.

The girls walked into the room, intending to teleport back to Hearthfire Island.

"Medea." Asker stopped her, "You're outside on guard today. ”

"Huh?" Medea asked in a daze, "Is it my turn?" ”

"Yes." Asker said.

So Medea found a bed, grabbed her book, and fell asleep.

Asker took Nora and teleported back to Hearth.

The mountains of Hearthfire Island are shrouded in night, and the waters of the island are constantly lapping around. The girls went to bed in the hut, and Asker and Nora crept down the hill and found a secluded grove with a lake.

"Right here?" Nora asked.

"Yes." Aske said quietly, "Do you want to try it first?" ”

Nora was a little embarrassed, grabbed the corner of her clothes with a twist, and sang carefully:

"I'm walking alone on a suburban road ~ I'll bring the pastry to my grandmother to taste ~"

This song "Little Red Riding Hood", which was a household name in China in the previous life, seems to have come from Brazil in the original foreign language, and was transplanted into the game by the game production team. At this time, singing from Nola's mouth suddenly made Asker feel homesick and timid.

Angelic spirits emerged from the air around them, slowly descending with Nola's tender and crisp singing, and hummed collectively along with the melody:

"When the sun goes down ~ when the stars are lit ~ everything in the world cannot escape sleep and death ~"

Although it was the same tune, the lyrics were completely different, and Nora wanted to correct them, but the angelic spirits sang louder and louder, and finally the song resounded over the entire Hearthfire Island.

Angel Song, reduces the chance of spiritual loss of control by 60%.

Under the buff of the Angel's Song, Asker took out a bottle of potion, which was the "Block I" of the gladiatorial sequence.

He's going to get promoted to Lv. 5 tonight.

Almost immediately, the body showed signs of losing control, and then it was forcibly suppressed by the angel's song.

His arms began to thicken, and his blood pressure rose almost three times his normal value, so much so that the muscle fibers in both arms began to bleed, and the surface of his skin exuded a hot heat.

The shoulder blades began to twist and deform, and the bones of the whole body were screaming, roaring, and making overwhelmed pleadings.

The heart was beating rapidly in the chest, as if it would explode in the next second. His eardrums began to vibrate, accompanied by a strong sense of dizziness and distraction, which made him almost pass out.

Nola's hand rested softly on his back, and supernatural power was smoothing his fluctuating spirituality.

It was as if a small boat was tossed in a storm and huge waves, and at the last moment, it dropped a heavy anchor to the bottom of the sea, and only then did it escape the fate of almost capsizing.

This dangerous situation, which was almost out of control and forcibly holding on to the spirit, lasted for nearly half an hour before it gradually calmed down.

Aske, who was almost in prostration, barely stood up, and after regaining some strength, he nodded to Nola:

"That's it."

He had already digested "Block I" and a lot of knowledge of defense, collision and unloading entered his mind.

Today's Asker already has "Perfect Physique X", "Sharp I", "Blunt I", "Dodge I" and "Block I" at the same time.

In terms of physical fitness, he has finally reached the entry threshold of the Star Nine Style.

As a transcendent swordsmanship, the first three layers of swordsmanship are Folding, Breaking Weight, and Grazing.

In addition to the proficiency of the sword technique itself, there are also strict requirements for the user's own potion sequence.

The function of the Sharp is to increase the hit rate, and the potion sequences required are "Sharp I" and "Dodge I";

The purpose of breaking weight is to increase the armor piercing rate, and the potion sequences required are "Blunt I" and "Block I".

Skimming is used to reflect ranged damage, and the potion sequence required is "Skimming I".

If you can't reach the potion threshold, although you can also use swordsmanship, you can't achieve the desired effect, and you must use more superb skills to make up for it.

To use the popular terminology in the forum, learning the sword first and taking the potion after the post, this is the "Sword Sect"; Take potions first and then learn swordsmanship, this is "Airbender".

The airbent upgrade is step-by-step, and the player experience is good; The strength of the Sword Sect has improved rapidly, but the requirements for operation are very high, and if the operation is not good, it is a rookie.

Since he had a deep understanding of the Nine Styles of the Stars in his previous life, Asker chose the path of the "Sword Sect", first learned the Nine Styles of the Stars, and then slowly completed the corresponding required potion sequence.

Now that four of the five gladiatorial potions have been replenished, just like Linghu Chong in the rivers and lakes, the problem of internal strength has been solved by learning the Yijin Sutra, and then the power of the Dugu Nine Swords can be truly exerted.

Asker rose from his bed, slowly feeling the spirituality rising through his body.

At the same time, I also noticed a certain feeling of depression, as if I was breathing on a plateau where oxygen was insufficient, and I felt a little tired.

Promoted to Lv.5, he has reached the upper limit of the current Demon Tide level, and cannot continue to be promoted to Lv.6.

Even if the Lv.6 potion was placed in front of him, he would inevitably lose control due to his lack of spirituality after drinking it.

On the other hand, having been promoted to Lv.5, he has reached the peak of his strength allowed by the current world.

Lv.5's physical strength can already withstand the shooting damage of ordinary firearms, and his strong muscle density and self-healing ability make it possible for Aske to charge forward with bullets as long as he is not hit in the eyeballs, heart, brain and other vital parts.

As long as the bullets are taken out in time after the war.
