The next day, according to the agreement made in advance, Medea told Ask the corresponding information.

"Mia's family, right?" Ask became interested.

"According to Mi'er's investigation, after the Normans of the Otteville family invaded Sicily, the local nobles on the island resisted in the early days, but most of them were massacred later."

"Based on the different forms of resistance, the Sicilian nobles who chose to resist can be divided into two groups. Most of the urban nobles in the western part of the island chose to resist together, relying on defensive military buildings such as castles. As a result, they were quickly captured and slaughtered by the Norman knights."

"Most of the eastern nobles, especially those living in the area around Mount Etna, split up into smaller groups and dispersed their forces to fight guerrilla warfare in the countryside. This tactic later proved to be effective because..."

"There are too few Normans," Ask said thoughtfully, "compared to the native residents of Sicily."

"Indeed. Until now, these Sicilian guerrillas have been operating secretly in remote corners of the island." Medea smiled, "So I discussed it with Mi'er."

"Since we are targeting the Otwell family, we might as well borrow the power of the local guerrillas. Then we found out that one of the guerrillas with extraordinary strength seems to be led by the 'Sinquemani' family."

"Could it be Mia's family? Hmm." Ask understood.

"Asker, if you don't mind, I will be in charge of the follow-up of this guerrilla group." Medea volunteered, "If we can successfully control and lead the power of these Sicilian guerrillas, the chances of success in dealing with the Otteville family will be greatly increased."

"Well, there is one more thing to say." Ask suddenly said seriously, staring at Medea seriously, "Sidlifa, is she a member of the Otwell family?"

"Yes." Medea answered without hesitation, "She has passed the blood test results of the Otteville family."

"And now you want to use her to deal with her family?" Ask was speechless. "What did she say?"

"She said it didn't matter," Medea replied.

"Is this true?" Ask said that if I believe you, there must be something fishy.

"That's right." Medea explained with a smile, "Everyone knows that the Normans are extremely cruel and barbaric to the outside world, but they are even more cruel to the inside than to the outside world, and the extraordinary family is even worse."

"Since taking magic potions carries a certain probability of losing control, extraordinary families often use various methods to improve the individual qualities of family members - of course, this improvement is mainly based on cruel screening and elimination."

"So for the Normans, the concept of 'family' is not as affectionate as we know it to be. Rather than a clan based on the same bloodline and helping each other, it is more like a militarized oppressive organization, where the lower ranks must obey the higher ranks, and the younger generations are forced to be controlled by the elders, and it is full of oppression and exploitation."

Ask was stunned for a moment, and suddenly remembered a previous post in the game world, which talked about a player who chose Norman as his birth race and complained that "the setting of the Norman super family is too stupid."
