Chapter 86: Chapter 67: Rescuing Princess Theodora

Aske had long grown accustomed to Medea’s sharp tongue.

Of course, one could also say that it was because Aske had grown accustomed to it that Medea felt at ease to continue her verbal jabs.

In a sense, it actually demonstrated their closer relationship.

Due to his body’s limit on bearing Extraordinary Power, he couldn’t continue slaying creatures for a short period and had to do things unrelated to combat.

Such as training, organizing teammates, and of course, rescuing Theodora.

The place where Theodora was confined was undoubtedly a top-tier secret of the Empire.

However, in the forums of Aske’s past life, this secret was already thoroughly revealed—this beautiful NPC had a significant support group, and the entire group almost went insane when Theodora was taken out of the Golden Governance Palace.

The forum began to broadcast Theodora’s location continually, with millions of players scattered throughout Constantinople serving as informants, and the military’s movements couldn’t be hidden from anyone.

Theodora was imprisoned in a monastery surrounded by cypress trees in the southwest of Constantinople’s main urban area.

This monastery was known for hosting funerals for the city’s residents, and it was near the largest cemetery in Constantinople.

In a way, it also declared the complete "death" of her political life.

Aske took the M subway line and got off at Kyklobion station.

He observed his surroundings, finding this location quite suitable for escape, only 500 meters to the southeast was the coast of the Sea of Marmara.

If he remembered correctly, there should be a Demigod stationed in the monastery for surveillance.

Under the current level of Magic Tide, if a Demigod expanded their Domain for more than 5 seconds, Spirituality would suffer irrevocable loss, leading to uncontrolled death.

However, if Aske were directly exposed in the Demigod’s Domain, he would be easily killed in less than half a second.

Thus, the best strategy was: don’t get discovered.

If discovered, the next best plan would be: quickly hide again.

A Demigod couldn’t use their abilities to search for enemies for extended periods; at most, they might activate some Divine Artifacts to aid in their search, like that Demigod in the Duel Arena last time.

Of course, those Divine Artifacts couldn’t be too powerful, as Demigod-level items were currently stored in the Church and not easily distributed to demigods stationed elsewhere.

As long as he wasn’t directly searched by a Demigod-level ability, Aske could think of over 100 ways to hide himself.

However, speaking of the ability to hide oneself, Mia from the Shadow Sequence was naturally the best.

Professional matters should be left to professionals.

Mia just teleported out of Fire Island, gave Aske a bear hug, and yanked his neck furiously, complaining:

"Do you know you almost killed me! After drinking your Evasion I Potion, my legs immediately turned into dried cured ham! I almost thought I would need a wheelchair for the rest of my life!"

"Ah, conflicts with magic potions are pretty common; don’t overreact," Aske helplessly replied, "It’s fine as long as it’s not out of control."

"Out of control? Then I’d be dead!" Mia showed her small fangs in anger, "If I died, would you stay with me?"

What’s with these girls? Every time there’s danger, their first thought is to drag me down? Aske, utterly speechless, changed the subject:

"Have you digested the Evasion I Potion?"

"Yeah, I’m now at level 3," Mia was still a bit annoyed, "What did you call me out for?"

"We need to rescue someone."

"Who?" Mia perked up her ears, "Is it a woman?"

Cough, why start with the gender? Aske felt a bit embarrassed and explained:

"It’s that Arcane Mage newcomer who visited last time."

"Oh, that young lady with the veil," Mia pouted, "What, is your harem about to grow?"

"What?!" Aske was baffled, "What harem?"

"Medea said that under the guise of the Mercenary Group, you actually want to take us all into your harem," Mia said.

That darn crane! Dare she spin such tales about me behind my back!

Aske became furious, his face twitching as he said, "Mia, do you know what a harem means?"

"The court, right? Of course, I know," Mia replied, "It means making us all your personal ministers and confidants."

This time Aske fell silent. He felt he couldn’t explain too explicitly to the innocent Mia and could only circuitously say:

"In Medea’s homeland, the Emperor can marry many concubines, and these concubines form what is called a harem."

"You want to marry all of us?!" Mia was shocked, "Turn us all into your wives?"

"No!" Aske was almost speechless, "That’s just nonsense from Medea! And that’s not something to be proud of; you shouldn’t go around spreading it either."

"Making things up and then repeating it to others, causing misunderstandings, means you are also responsible, you know?"

"Got it, got it," Mia replied impatiently, "I, of course, understand it’s impossible. How could a man possibly marry many women?"

"Besides, if you married other girls, Sister Nora would definitely be heartbroken."

Aske was almost moved to tears... How could Medea’s mouth be so loose? It looks like I’ll have to design a special training plan for her when I get back.

Hmm, maybe start with a 10,000-meter armed cross-country run.

"Let’s not talk about this anymore," he steered the conversation back to important matters, "That newcomer is likely being held in this monastery, do you have any way to sneak in?"
