"Here, take it." After returning to Hearthfire Island, Ask threw the Spirit IV potion to Nora.
"What is this? A magic potion?" Nora scanned it with her spiritual power and was able to recognize it.
"Drink it," Ask said, "After it's digested, we'll gather everyone and prepare to run away."
"Run away?" Nora was stunned for a long time before she realized that they wanted to evacuate. "But the war is not over yet! Eleanor's family..."
"Does this war have anything to do with us?" Ask showed a puzzled expression. "Isn't our goal to find out how Emperor Otto was bewitched?"
"Now that we have investigated everything, we have received the reward. If we don't leave quickly, do we have to wait for the Vatican to drop a nuclear bomb on us?"
Uh, it seems to be true... Nora was speechless, but it always felt a little wrong to just slip away like that.
"What are you going to say to the Duke of Bavaria?" She was still a little worried and continued to ask.
"Explain?" Ask said, "Why do we have to explain? Are you talking about breach of contract? We didn't sign an employment contract with him, so why do we have to report to him before retreating?"
Nora: …
"Nora, we are a mercenary group." Ask said earnestly, "The purpose of a mercenary group is to maximize profits and minimize risks. The latter is often more important than the former."
"As the war continues, the Church will surely lose patience, leading to a further increase in the intensity of the war and casualties. Therefore, it is impossible for us to cooperate with the Imperial Army to the end. Running away was a foregone conclusion from the beginning."
"Not to mention that now that we have received the reward, is there any point for us to stay here?"
"Eleanor wouldn't agree." Nora pointed out another problem.
"I will convince her." Ask did not care. "Her father, the Duke of Bavaria, has fallen ill. He will definitely not join the war again. Naturally, her life will not be in danger. Why is she still staying here?"
"I have already found out that the Duke will retreat to the original town camp north of the Verona ruins tomorrow to guard the retreat route and supply transportation line for the imperial army. Then we will sneak in, reach the end point, and then head west back to Milan."
"In Milan, we'll find a mobile phone, and you'll call your family and ask them to pick us up to Solomon City."
"Hey, are we going to Solomon City next?" Nora was a little surprised and delighted. Then can't I go home
"Yes." Ask said, "An employer owes us money for our mission, and we are going to Solomon City to collect the debt."
Nora:
Unpaid wages? Who
She took the potion and left, and Ask went to find Medea again. The succubus lady was in her bedroom on the second floor, putting on makeup in front of the mirror, and was frightened by Ask who broke in.
"How dare you barge in while I'm putting on my makeup!" Medea was furious.
"You actually need makeup!" Ask was surprised.
"Tell me, what's the matter?" Medea softened immediately, feeling happy. She knew some words were compliments, but she just loved to hear them from someone.
