When the imperial agents sent by Her Majesty Zoe arrived at the door of Ask's ancestral home, they found that the place was already deserted.
On the train heading west, Ask was scrolling through his phone boredly. Nora was sitting next to him by the window, looking at the plains outside the window with interest.
"Asker?" she turned around and asked, "Where are we going?"
The other girls continued their daily training on Hearthfire Island. Only Nora and Medea were free. When they heard that Ask was leaving Constantinople, they complained that they felt stuffy in the demiplane and wanted to come out to the train to get some fresh air.
"Our destination this time is Stanimaka." Ask stared at his phone and replied, "A military town located in the south-central part of the Thracian province of the Empire."
"Are we going on a treasure hunt?" Nora asked curiously.
"No, we're going to fight the wild map boss." Ask replied and handed her the phone.
Nora looked at the screen of her mobile phone and saw a piece of news displayed in the browser:
"From Solomon's Pravda, No. 327."
"It has been confirmed by the Holy See recently that the Templar Von Xim has betrayed the Holy See. His true identity is a spy for the Holy Roman Emperor Otto. His purpose of infiltrating the Templar Order is to spy on the Holy See for a long time."
"This man's shameless betrayal has caused the wrath of the Holy See, which has sent Cardinal Clement to hunt him down."
"According to reliable information, Feng Keshim has been injured by the Bishop and fled all the way to the border of the Eastern Solomon Empire."
"The Church has issued a heretic hunting order. Any mercenary group that kills Fengxim and brings his intact head back to the Church will receive a reward of 500 pounds and the qualification to be selected into the Knights Templar."
"Attention: Feng Keshim's prosthetic transformation has reached 70% (extremely dangerous). The weapon he is equipped with is the Slaughter-III rifle, which can be switched between assault mode and sniper mode. The assault mode has a burst of five rounds; the sniper mode has a burst of two rounds. It comes with an automatic aiming component and an auxiliary laser component, which is very powerful. Those who have no experience in dealing with guns, please be cautious."
"This Slayer is a blue-named rifle from the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse series. It can basically be used until the mid-to-late stages." Ask said calmly, "Military firearms are mostly made by the Church of Solomon. They are simply not available through civilian channels, let alone this kind of high-end weapon with an automatic aiming component... We can give up the boss's bounty, but we must get this rifle."
"What are blue-named weapons?" Nora said in a curious tone, "What are the auto-aiming parts?"
"White, green, blue, purple, and orange. Equipment is graded from low to high." Ask answered, "Generally, weapons are white. If they are made of special materials, such as the meteorite armor Eleanor is wearing, they belong to the excellent level of green name."
"On this basis, if extraordinary runes or high-tech accessories are installed, it is blue-named equipment; a large number of accessories are integrated or runes form a magic array, which belongs to purple-named equipment; orange-named equipment is the highest level of equipment, and almost every orange-named weapon is unique."
"So this rifle is a blue-named weapon, which is considered to be of very excellent grade." Nora said thoughtfully.
