Blue Sword

One stone stirs up a thousand waves.

In the palace bedroom, not only Medea, but also Malkina showed a somewhat confused expression - the Succubus Queen did not confide this matter to her at all.

Ask pondered for a moment and asked solemnly:

"Your Majesty, you are saying... the hostility between Emperor Otto and the Holy See is not a simple international political conflict."

"But is it the result of someone deliberately manipulating it behind the scenes?"

"Not entirely." The queen elegantly raised one leg and crossed it on the other smooth and plump thigh, revealing... With a "pop", Medea covered Asker's eyes again.

"The reason why wars will occur in the future is naturally because the soil that allows wars to occur has now emerged. It is just the motivation behind it. How much of it comes from the collective will of those in power and the people, and how much of it comes from the hands of secret manipulation from outside the situation. But it’s hard to summarize it clearly.”

"Otto is a man with political ambitions, and being ambitious means that he is easy to take advantage of. However, the people who pulled the strings were a little deliberate this time, which caused Otto himself to become mentally unstable. I heard that rumors about him even began to spread in the court. The name 'Mad King'."

"No matter what, I hope you can find out who's behind it. Since the other party has exposed its flaws, no matter it's a bait or an abandoned fish, someone has to bite it."

The words were a bit obscure, but Ask and Medea still understood each other's meaning: find the person around Otto who influenced his mind, and then bring the relevant information to the Succubus Queen.

"So, the reward is all the potions above level II in the Desire Sequence?" Ask asked tentatively.

"Don't you think the asking price is too high?" The queen suddenly lost interest, "Forget it, I originally planned to send Malkina, but since my good daughter..."

Her eyes turned to Medea again: "...being willing to come back at least shows that she still has me as her mother in her heart."

"After you agree to this task." The Queen stopped talking, and Malkina beside her said with a smile, "Your Majesty will first pay a deposit for the finished potion of Desire II."

"After contacting Otto, as long as the information is sent back, the finished potion of Desire III will be delivered."

"Until you find the final goal and complete the mission, you will be given the formula and auxiliary materials for Desire IV."

There is no magic potion for Desire IV... That's fine. As long as he knows the formula and material names, Asik doesn't have to worry about finding monsters.

After muttering with Medea in the psychic communication channel, the two agreed.

After sending the two of them away, Malkina returned to the bedroom again and saw that the queen had gotten off the bed and pulled out a book from the bookshelf.

"Your Majesty." Malkina bowed and saluted.

"So, what is the relationship between the young man named Aske and Camellia?" The queen asked calmly as she pulled her hair around her ears.

"Your Highness likes him." Malkina replied, "but his thoughts are not yet clear."

"Hmm. Being rated R4 by the Holy See, he is probably not a simple person. I don't know if Kamalika being with him is a blessing or a curse for her." The Queen was silent for a moment, "So, Mal Kina, let’s test it out.”

"...After all, she is your sister."

Ask and Medea left the palace and went to a nearby inn.

Malkina placed them here because the portal to the main plane opened every three days, so she asked them to wait for a few more days.

After exchanging information with Silla, who was already waiting in the room, Silla was also a little frightened. Emperor Otto, the lord of the empire, the monarch whose status is second only to the pope on this continent, can actually be secretly influenced and manipulated?

However, this information came from the legendary Eastern demigod, the Succubus Queen, but no one could dare to question it. After thinking about it, she suddenly remembered another thing, and suddenly she felt like she was suddenly awakened:

Her sister Zoe had a very good relationship with her since she was a child. However, after ascending to the throne, her attitude towards her became more polite and distant day by day.

She originally thought it was due to a conflict of power, but now it seems that there is a possibility that someone behind the scenes is secretly manipulating it? First destroy the Eastern Solomon Empire, and then control Otto to attack the Holy See. Could it be that the purpose is to completely destroy technological civilization?

Wait, if that's the case... She suddenly remembered another thing.

That was when the city of Olympia was attacked. A group of dark elves entered the city of Olympia from nowhere and wreaked havoc everywhere.

The reason for creating surprises and chaos...is it for substitution and lurking?

Certain clues were connected in her mind, and Silla suddenly understood something.

"It seems that you have guessed the truth?" Medea looked at her and asked.

"You should have read it out too." Sheila replied calmly.

"What riddles are you playing?" Asked.

The two smart girls looked at each other and then said in unison:

"We suspect that there is a deeply hidden force that is sending people to lurk around the monarchs of the mainland countries in order to influence the will of those in power..."

"...thus destroying technological civilization." This was Sheila's answer.

"...To start a total war." This is Medea's answer.

The two look similar, but there are subtle differences inside.

Asker was puzzled by what he heard and thought in confusion: "Starting a full-scale war? Shouldn't this be the fault of the game planner?"

Then he reacted quickly. Before time travel, all the plots in the game can be interpreted as planned and arranged.

However, if the world after time travel is a different world, then all plots should be driven by unknown internal factors.

These internal factors may be hidden settings in the game before time travel, or they may not appear in the game at all.

But since everyone is now in the demiplane of limbo and their levels are low, there is nothing they can do for a while. So Asker waved his hand and said:

"Let's not talk about this anymore. Let's upgrade first."

Anyway, everything is uncertain, just upgrade and become stronger.

Leaving Sheila to guard the ancient book in the main plane, Ask and Medea teleported to Hearth Island.

The girls were worried inside for nearly half the day and did not dare to go out rashly. When they saw the two people coming back, they immediately gathered around and started asking questions.

Asker had no choice but to explain today's events to everyone again.

"So Medea is the daughter of the Succubus Queen!"

"Wait, who is the Succubus Queen?"

"It's a demigod. It's said to be an ancient demigod from the Third Age."

"What does the Succubus Queen look like? Isn't she beautiful?"

"I heard that she had an affair with Emperor Caesar back then. Is it true?"

Everyone's gossip was so endless that even Askedi ran away when asked, while Medea was a step too late. Surrounded by curious girls, she could only look at him with her last glance. Asik quickly walked away with a desperate expression.
