Chapter 103: Chapter 8 Cleaning the Battlefield_2

"No, no, no, we were just shocked out of our usual views," Medea said, waving her hand, "after all, everyone used to think that Power Armor Knights are almost invincible on the battlefield. Seeing you kill the Black Knight so cleanly and neatly was a bit of a shock."

"Oh," Aske realized, he had made a prejudgment.

In the original gaming world, if a level 3 player exploded a Power Armor Knight head-on, everyone’s first thought would be that the player was cheating, since not everyone is clearly aware of the capabilities of esports players.

But in this world, when a level 3 Transcendent blew up a Power Armor Knight, nobody would think of cheats—they would just think, "Is he even human?" "Is this guy terrifyingly powerful?" "Are all mercenaries monsters?"

"It’s really nothing," Aske decided to be modest to avoid the girls’ excessive admiration which could make teaching them later difficult, "Power Armor Knights are not invincible. You don’t need to be so dramatic."

"Of course, it was just unexpected before," Medea said with a smile, "Now that we have a good understanding of your strength, even if you were to puncture a Demigod with a toothpick, we would just smile slightly and not be surprised anymore."

"If someone actually punctures a Demigod with a toothpick, I suggest it’s still polite to be shocked," Aske shook his head, "Medea, discuss with the Night Watch and sell them the spiritual materials from the Ghoul."

"And this Black Knight’s Power Armor, once we finish studying it, let’s sell it too."

So Medea went to negotiate with the Night Watch. Aske thought for a moment and then called Peggy over to say:

"The spiritual material from the Black Knight is a corrupted central brain core, located in the cerebellum within its skull. But I blasted its head with a gun, so could you use your spirituality to search nearby? It should be a grayish, stone-like object."

Peggy: ......

She then parted the grass on the ground and carefully searched the surroundings with her spirituality.

The rest of the girls, after recovering from their shock, began to chatter chirpily.

"This is the Longsword!" Mia picked up Aske’s Longsword from the ground, held it high like the legendary Holy Sword Excalibur, and sang in a melodious tune.

"Sword of the King~"

"Pulled from the stone~"

"Slayed the evil Black Knight~"

Miel clapped emotionlessly at the side, clap, clap, clap.

"Let me see that sword, Mia!" Sigrdrifa said eagerly, but Mia quickly hugged the Longsword and ran off in a flash.

"At least let me touch it..." Sigrdrifa dropped her arms weakly.

"You can touch my gun," Eleanor said, seeing her disheartened look, "Strictly speaking, it was my Long Spear that dealt the final blow to the Black Knight."

"It’s not the same," Sigrdrifa exclaimed, "I want to know why, when both are made of steel, this Longsword could pierce through the helmet of the Power Armor? Steel should have roughly the same hardness, right? Could this Longsword really be the ’Sword of the King’?"

"Childish words, and you actually believe them..." Eleanor couldn’t help but cry and laugh.

On Medea’s side, the deal was quickly settled. Normally aloof and inhospitable, the Night Watch Knights were surprisingly friendly and easy to talk to this time. Knight Captain Hasimodo, while talking with her, almost seemed to have the word "friendly" written on his forehead.

With a slight use of her Spiritual Energy, Medea immediately understood the whole situation and revealed a fox-like grin.

"The deal is set, here’s their offer," Medea reported to Aske through the Mind Channel.

"That favorable?" Aske was somewhat surprised.

"Are discounts not good?", Medea said with a smile, "It’s still better than outright refusing and not conducting any trade with us at all."

"Hmm," Aske pondered.

"I have an idea," Medea continued, "you have us participate in this undead mutation, perhaps for the purpose of training the team and practical training. But isn’t getting the next stage of magic potion more important than that?"

"You mean?"

"As one of the three major legal transcendental organizations in the world, the Night Watchman must have accumulated spiritual materials from countless mutations over thousands of years, and even possess quite a few magic potion recipes," Medea explained eloquently.

"They might not sell Sequene I or higher magic potion recipes and materials to us, but Sequence I should be fine, right?"

"They initially refused to trade, but now they suddenly say it’s possible because you showed transcendental strength. So, as long as you keep performing this way, once you catch the eye of a higher-ranked Night Watchman..."

"They will offer a higher price to win us over," Aske nodded in agreement.

"Not us, just you," Medea’s lips curved up cunningly, and she smiled, "So from now on, all you have to do is continue to attract more attention, which should not be a problem with your strength, right?"

"Showing off, huh," Aske mused, "I’ll try my best."

"I’ll coordinate with you from the sidelines," Medea glanced at the Night Watch Knights nearby, "Also, that Morning Star Knight Captain, Hasimodo, seems to have a poor reputation among the other Night Watch detachments."

"He might be a good target to create a conflict with..." she said softly, secretly making calculations in her mind.

Following the agreed trade, Knight Captain Hasimodo willingly paid the bill.

Of course, according to organizational procedures, it was supposed to go through due approval from Commander Blaise before seeking from the quartermaster for the settlement of the spoils of war, and finally giving the money to these foreign mercenaries.

However, choosing a temporary loan from other Night Watch Knights and using his personal funds to pre-purchase these materials was an extra gesture of goodwill toward Aske and the others.

Finally having real money in hand, the girls’ expressions brightened somewhat, and they were no longer as hostile and disgusted with the Night Watch Knights as they were at the beginning.

Seeing the relationship between the two parties easing, Hasimodo secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

After packing up all the spoils of war, the Night Watch Knights set off to report back on duty.

Overall, there were no casualties this time, which was a fortunate occurrence in an unfortunate situation.

Thanks to this mercenary group... What was it called, The Pale Sword?

"What’s your mercenary group called?", Knight Jialwen, walking at the back, quietly spoke to Nora.

"The Azure Longsword," Nora responded, "Although we’re not very famous yet, we definitely will be in the future."

She spoke with a confident and firm tone.

"I believe that too," Knight Jialwen laughed heartily, "How about I introduce you to some big clients? We Night Watch Knights often receive undead-clearance tasks from nobles, so we’ve also built some connections in high society."

"Sure, sure," Nora’s eyes lit up, and she quickly responded.

"Let’s first add each other on CM then," Knight Jialwen took out his mobile phone.
