The knights were guarding outside, while the members of the Blue Sword were in the dark room of the Thieves Guild, discussing the current situation with each other, and they all felt that it was extremely difficult.
The main problem, of course, was that the Venice City Council, especially the conservatives, did not want to get involved in the battle between the emperor and the church. At the same time, due to the hanging of the former governor, there was a power vacuum in the city council, making collective decision-making impossible.
If the Conservatives cannot be convinced, then even if the new party supports the war, the Conservatives can prevent the Venice City Council from passing any resolution by constantly adopting boycott tactics (such as refusing to vote when the parliament makes decisions, or deliberately using lengthy speeches to prevent the new party from proposing proposals).
Secondly, regarding the murder of the former governor, it has been confirmed that Agrippina was the murderer, and she herself has admitted it.
However, as Paige's master, they certainly couldn't turn her over to the law in exchange for concessions from the Venis top brass. Not to mention whether the conservatives would make concessions, just between "a demigod who is close to their team" and "the level III potion promised by the emperor", even a fool would know which side to choose.
Magic potions are common, but demigods are hard to find. We are not vassals of the emperor, so why should we sacrifice our own interests for his great achievements
Coupled with the restrictions of the anti-magic magnetic field, supernatural abilities such as mind reading and brainwashing cannot be effective. Therefore, let alone trying to "persuade" the conservatives, whether Agrippina can escape the city from the militia's search is still a question.
"Hey, I suddenly have an idea." Medea suddenly had an idea, "Ask, when the two demigods left, they seemed to have turned into rats instead of bats, right?"
"Yes." It was Agrippina who answered, "In a city with complex terrain, the Lord of Filth usually prefers to turn into a swarm of rats and flee because they are worried about gunmen or snipers. This way, it is easier to hide."
"That is to say, when the anti-magic magnetic field was activated, the two demigods should still be in this city." Medea looked thoughtful. "What would happen if they turned into a swarm of rats and encountered the anti-magic magnetic field?"
"It will eliminate the rat swarm and restore the human body." Agrippina replied, "If the environment does not allow it, then we can only risk spiritual exhaustion and rush to a place where the environment allows to recover."
"Medea, what you mean is..." Sheila suddenly seemed to understand.
"What is the reason why the city of Venice activated the anti-magic magnetic field?" Medea asked everyone.
"Well, because the citizens witnessed demigods fighting in the city, they activated the anti-magic magnetic field to prevent the scale of the battle from expanding and causing damage?" Eleanor tried to answer.
"If there were really citizens who witnessed it, then the Venis high-level officials would definitely be able to recognize these demigods as possessing the unique abilities of the Lord of Filth from the corresponding ability effects." Sheila corrected her statement, "Opening the anti-magic magnetic field is not only to stop the battle, but also to capture these demigods, so as to find the murderer of the former governor."
"That is to say." Medea said with a smile, "If the higher-ups catch a demigod, as long as he is a member of the Pureblood Hermitage, then Venis will most likely identify him as the murderer of the former governor and send him to the Vatican—no matter who this demigod is."
