He said he would "consider it", but in fact he didn't even ask about the reward. It was actually just a polite refusal, which made the bishop on the stage a little embarrassed.
But the Pope was an old veteran after all, so he just smiled and waved his hand, saying that the list of participants had not yet been determined and there was no need to rush to reply, thus cleverly smoothing over the atmosphere.
At the subsequent meeting, the situation on the Iberian Peninsula was briefly explained: the Undead Army seemed to have used some extraordinary technology called "Dark Sky", which could block surveillance satellites and communication electromagnetic waves on a large scale.
This means that the Holy See has completely lost control of the Iberian Peninsula, and only has the fragmentary information provided by the people who escaped from the dark sky.
In short, the situation inside the Iberian Peninsula is completely unclear, but judging from the fact that the Kingdom of Aragon and Castile has hardly sent out any news, it can be guessed that it is very dangerous.
So the meeting ended hastily in a solemn atmosphere, and everyone was in a bad mood when they left.
Although the Kingdom of the Dead's plan to move north had been anticipated, when it actually happened, the Vatican and the Italian giants still felt tremendous pressure.
On the other hand, the refusal of Ask, the leader of the Blue Sword, also aggravated everyone's pessimistic expectations.
Soon Nora was attacked from both sides by her brother and sister. Varian represented the Holy See, and Capasilin represented Licinius, and they launched a frantic lobbying against Nora - hoping that the deputy leader of the Azure Sword would persuade Leader Ask to change his mind.
Nora was also extremely speechless. Since the six major mercenary groups on the continent have all joined the war, what is the point of our Blue Sword joining the war? We are not a large mercenary group with thousands of members...
She didn't want to trouble the leader with this matter, so she could only imitate Ask's tone and politely refuse, "I have to think about it again." This made Varian and Kapasilin very dissatisfied.
Wait, you haven't married yet, Nora! Why are you speaking up for your husband now? Where is our obedient and well-behaved little sister
Annoyed by the two, Nora had no choice but to agree to go find Ask.
Back at Hearthfire Island, she wandered hesitantly in the grove at the foot of the mountain, wondering how to tell Ask about this.
After all, Nora didn't want to give the captain the impression that she was "speaking for the family", and besides, it was indeed the brothers and sisters who went too far. How could a small mercenary group like us be chosen to go to Iberia to exterminate the undead
That’s too much.
While she was hesitating, Nora saw a figure walking out from behind the tree, and it seemed that he had been waiting for her here for a long time.
Medea.
If someone asked Nora how her relationship with Medea was, she would probably answer, "We have occasional quarrels, but we're actually pretty good friends."
In fact, apart from the fact that they were competing for the position of leader, Nora did not have any obvious ill feelings towards Medea.
Although Miss Succubus was full of bad intentions, Nora felt that it was just a personality problem, and perhaps partly influenced by her bloodline sequence... In short, it was similar to Peggy's, and they were all minor problems that "could be corrected with patient guidance."
