Chapter 120: Chapter 24 Sparta

Lv.4 now.

After taking the "Blunt Weapon I" Magic Potion, Aske’s level had reached Lv.4.

Through the potion, he had naturally mastered the skills to wield blunt weapons and gained substantial experience in hacking and armor-breaking.

His grasp of the second form of the Star Nine Forms, "Break Heavy," was also greatly enhanced.

However, the risk of losing control had greatly increased during the process, and he even lost consciousness several times.

The Weapon Master Bloodline route comprised eight different sequences and was indeed a "perilous path."

Given the current situation, the degree of loss of control when advancing to Lv.5 would likely exceed his Spirituality’s threshold.

There were solutions to this problem, like Nora’s next Magic Potion being "Spirit Body I," whose corresponding Extraordinary Ability could soothe the intense fluctuations of Spirituality during loss of control.

After all, the "Life Songster" had a nickname in the forums of the previous world, called the "All-Powerful Nanny."

Its three components were "Life," "Spiritual Body," and "Mind," so whether you were physically injured, your Spirituality damaged, or mentally fractured, you could recover without difficulty.

I need to level up Nora; healing is becoming the team’s weakness.

Aske rubbed his temples.

Currently, in the team, the only one at Lv.4 was him.

Those at Lv.3 were Eleanor (MT), Mia (Scout), and Medea (Control), while at Lv.2 were Miel (Sniper Output), Peggy (Agility Output), and Theodora (Magic Output).

At Lv.1 were Nora (Healer) and Sigrdrifa (Armor-Breaking Output).

It’s apparent the output members’ levels are on the lower end within the team. With such a team composition, they should have already faced situations where they lacked sufficient damage output or couldn’t keep up with healing in the process of conquering various instances.

Yet they hadn’t, why was that?

Aske pondered for a moment and then realized, it was because he had been shouldering the output...

Faced with a Black Knight boss that was unbeatable, he took action himself; When encountering an unbeatable zombie boss, once again, he intervened.

This approach wasn’t helping to train the team at all!!!

Aske slammed his Longsword onto the ground.

This can’t go on like this.

Hmm, next time I’ll take it easy and focus solely on being a commander.

"Aske! Aske!" Peggy transmitted from outside, urgently calling for him.

"What’s the matter?" Aske asked indifferently, "If it’s some common monster, just deal with it yourselves."

"It’s not that, it’s not that!" Peggy said anxiously, "It’s the big tree!"

"Oh, Treants, huh," Aske commented, "Don’t fight them head-on, just circle around them, and let Medea burn them with fire."

"It’s not a Treant!" Peggy insisted, almost jumping in frustration, "It’s a big tree, growing on the mountain!"

A big tree growing on the mountain? Aske paused for a moment and then followed Peggy outside.

On the road after the rain, the SUV had already stopped by the side, and the girls getting out were staring into the distance with incredulous expressions on their faces.

Aske pushed open the car door and followed their gaze to see a vast tree growing on the continuous snow-capped mountains in the distance.

The tree was so huge that its trunk was almost as thick as the mountain peak, and its umbrella-like canopy enveloped the entire mountain under its shade.

"That’s Olympia City," Aske said.

"Olympia?" The girls all turned around.

"Olympia," Thira said from the side, "is a city built upon trees. It’s the highest Free City in the entire Sirius region and the holy land for Transcendents and Arcane Mages."

"Here, the Church has some sort of hidden, tacit agreement with the City Lord, so they don’t interfere with the development of the city’s Extraordinary Forces. Therefore, in this place, Mages can openly conduct experiments, trade in Spiritual Materials, and even raise Extraordinary Creatures."

Sounds pretty good, doesn’t it? The girls all thought to themselves.

"In that case, let’s stay in Olympia for a few days," Aske suggested. "We can take the opportunity to purchase the materials we still lack for our respective formulas."

——————

To get to Olympia City up in the mountains, you have to go through Olympia Town at the base.

It’s said that this place is also the birthplace of the Olympic Games, where the torch for each opening ceremony is lit, but ever since the major schism between the Eastern and Western Church Courts, the Western Church Court has not been very interested in the Games (after all, it’s always initiated by the Eastern Orthodox Church).

As a result, the global Olympic Games have been discontinued to this day.

Our group found a motel near the town to rent a parking spot, and after parking the car, they entered the town.

The town’s buildings were constructed up the slope of the mountain, most still in the style of the Orthodox Church with white bricks and red tiles.

The people of Sirius seem to have a particular fondness for the colors red and white, much like the Ancient Solomons loved colorful mosaic tiles in their public baths, this warm color pairing is known as the "Mediterranean style."

In fact, the climate here is indeed influenced by the Mediterranean, with a warm and moist sea breeze blowing throughout the year. After walking up the sloped road for about fifteen minutes, everyone began to sweat.

They came to the town’s Central Square.

Olympia City has a nickname, called the "Gods’ Palace." To head up the mountain into the city, you must take a designated vehicle from the base.

"The self-service passage has already been closed," the ticket seller at the station said to them, "Currently, only official residents of Olympia City can come and go."

"Closed?" Aske inquired.

He didn’t remember anything like this from his past life.

"Yes, because of certain security concerns, it is temporarily not open to the public," the ticket seller said with a courteous apologetic smile, "If you really want to enter the city, you could choose a special passage."

"What kind of special passages are there?" Aske asked.

"The Mage Guild is currently hiring apprentices, and if you have a similar Extraordinary Ability, you could try applying. If you’re hired, you can get a green pass to Olympia," the ticket seller explained.

"Additionally, the Spartans are recently visiting Olympia and need to recruit some warriors to join their ranks. If you’re confident in your combat abilities, you could go and apply to see. The travel procedures would be taken care of by the Spartan side."

"Understood," Aske nodded. So, in short, he had to first complete two missions before entering the city.

Let’s go look for the Spartans first.

In front of the station at the Central Square, they saw a group of Spartan Heavy Armor Warriors setting up posters on stands.

On the pure white background of the posters, written in Sirius, Latin, Frankish, and other languages, were four lines:

Enlist!

Join the Spartan Mercenary ranks!

Kill the heretics!

Fight for the Empire!

The group: ......

Hey! Your enlistment poster is too simple! At least hire a designer to make it look nice! What is this plain black text on a white background?

In the middle of the poster was a simple recruiting office. Sitting behind a table was a muscular bald man with not a shirt on his body, his muscle ridges bulged like tree roots, and he examined the passersby with bear-like eyes.

Passersby all consciously avoided them.

"It’s the Spartans," said Thira, her tone carrying a hint of resignation.

"Aske, let’s keep our distance from those weirdos," Nora suggested.
