Chapter 144: No One Wants to Take Advantage of Me
As Sinam Pasha had predicted, Meredi had long since seen what was hidden beneath the ship.
However, seeing clearly is not an accurate statement, and smelling it is closer to the truth.
She was far farther away than Bursha, but the power that Ciric had given her allowed her to smell the chaotic and evil smell of the sea, the fishy smell from the eighty-ninth layer of the Endless Abyss, the Sea of Shadows, that could make her, God's chosen people, feel a little uncomfortable.
Although she couldn't tell the creature's precise origin.
But she knew that there was nothing in this world that could make her so uncomfortable, that this was God's world, and that she was God's chosen people.
This only shows that the one under the water does not belong to this plane.
And the positions of Bursa and Sinam Pasha narrowed down the range of possibilities.
Meredi could be sure that just below the boat, there was a demon from the bottomless abyss.
She couldn't see more details, except for the barrier of the sea, the demon itself had some kind of ability to hinder reconnaissance.
Even if she could see the demon's whole body, Meredi might not be able to recognize it, after all, there are too many kinds of demons in the bottomless abyss, and she is a powerful elect, but not a spellcaster based on knowledge.
But this was not the point, nor was it the reason why Meredi was furious at this time, she knew from the moment she saw Sinam Pasha and Bursha Yuzai's state that they would not run away with her as agreed.
The damned heretics betrayed themselves, and they wanted to die at the hands of those heretics on the cliff.
Meredi was extremely angry, but not at Bursha, she was angry with herself.
It was always God's chosen people who played with others and forced them to lose, and she should not have fallen to this point in any way.
What's more, Bulsha also exposed her true colors.
Meladyi already realized that this woman was eighty percent responsible for her son's death, but she still couldn't refuse the other party's invitation, after all, she couldn't be sure what role Bursha played in her son's death, and she couldn't be sure that Wu Xin had almost nothing to do with his son's death.
She could be sure. It was the damned skull who had brutally murdered his lover, and the followers of the Lord of Flames were remnants of His Majesty's disgust.
All it's fair to say that it's not entirely her fault.
The scene where Sazastan crushes her lover's ** into powder and then extracts her soul is too hateful.
And she is strong though. But the chips she had were far worse than those of Bursa and Sultan Shrem behind her.
After the battle on the island of Malta, although both she and Wu Xin seemed to be exiled, in fact, the Spanish side supported Wu Xin. He gets the opportunity to develop his power, and she is in a dilemma.
The maritime power of the Kingdom of France is only third-rate in the Mediterranean, and the navy of the Papal States is also third-rate, not even comparable to Venice, Liguria, and Florence, let alone Spain and the Ottomans.
There were no followers she could borrow on the southern shores of the Mediterranean, this was not Ciric's sphere of influence, and her greatest reliance no longer existed.
Compared to the state apparatus, Rome's real strength was the ecclesiastical organization, and the loss of popular support made it difficult for her to move an inch.
So much so that she had to cooperate with extremely dangerous enemies, and finally fell to this point.
Although Wu Xin has many difficulties. But Spain treated him as one of their own, and it may be difficult to deal with, but it was still possible to deal with it, and the port of Tripoli had a maritime trade route and support from Austria.
Although he has to resort to all kinds of means, do everything, and face the entire hostile regional environment, he has room to survive and develop by relying on the sea trade routes.
The half-French group at the port of Benghazi had no support from the sea at all. Although King FranΓ§ois I of France was willing to support her, the number of merchant ships from Marseille was limited and supplies were scarce.
In a word. Without reliable sea power, it is completely impossible to survive on the southern shore of the Mediterranean.
It was only under the protection of the Spanish fleet that the strongholds along the coastline were able to attract merchant ships to trade with the merchant cities on the northern shores of the Mediterranean, which exchanged air and power like red blood cells to bring strength to an organization. and eventually grow and develop.
Otherwise, if these strongholds are not destroyed by the enemy's fleet, they will be like patients with shriveled blood vessels, and even if they do not die, they will only survive.
"Little Warlock, are you there? I'm here to give you a Christmas present in advance, come and catch the elect of the dark day, she's right down the cliff, it's she who killed your mother, burn her to death, please your god of fire, and avenge your mother. β
Meredi had calmed down and figured out the situation, she knew she was in danger when Wu Xin defeated Amin, in fact, after she rejected Hayreddin's suggestion to be Suleiman the Magnificent's concubine, her partnership with the Ottoman Empire was extremely dangerous.
Bursa and her partnership are closely related to Amin's life and death.
If Amin wins and the Ottomans go well in Tunisia, then the Ottomans may allow half of the French-speaking group in the port of Benghazi to survive for reasons of courtship to the French king.
But if the Ottomans don't go well in Tunisia, they will have to swallow the food in their mouths.
On the one hand, this is a piece of meat that is not without a small supplement, and on the other hand, it is to show the French king the superiority of the Ottoman Empire.
The Ottoman Empire could join France in flanking the Habsburgs, but Suleiman the Magnificent did not recognize France's right to speak in the Mediterranean.
"She's down there?" At this time, Wu Xin's voice also sounded.
"Well, just on a protruding rock, don't look at it, her burst strength may not be as good as that of Chief Commander Eli Adam, but on the cliff, the ability to go straight up and down, Eli Adam is far worse than her." Sazastan ignored Father Erlan for the rest of the night, but as soon as Wu Xin returned, he jumped off the wooden pole and landed firmly on Wu Xin's shoulder. "It seems that her short-lived alliance with the Ottoman Empire has come to an end."
On top of the battle array, even if he is close to the legendary strength, Meredi, who can't wear heavy armor, is far inferior to Eli Adam.
But in such a terrain, the head of Eli Adam can only capture this way, but Meredi still has the ability to resist.
Warn Wu Xin not to look at it, Sazastan himself had no scruples, he jumped to the edge of the cliff, and then poked out half of his brain.
Meredi is not more than two meters away. Sazastan probed his head, and a pair of hooked claws immediately threw it at him.
Even a catch from a legendary wanderer can't take down Sazastan, who is extremely careful.
But Sazastan was really narrowly enough to dodge this blow on his head. Left a deep nick.
Both Odd Kessler and Colmona trainees wanted to pull him up.
But they all thought too much, and the demigod lich was extremely fast: "Hey, little girl, don't try to touch me with your whip again, if I will be framed by you." Then I really lived for a hundred years in vain. β
Although he is no longer alive in the ordinary sense of the word, it is true that there is not much to lose by becoming a lich for Sazastan.
He's kind of friendly to Cormona.
As for the fire sacrifice, Sazastan's was unfriendly, and he said with a gun and a stick: "And you, don't be courteous, when it comes to use, you always don't show up, and I can handle it." Here you go again. β
"You know what?! It's because you influenced His Highness the Electorate, she always told everyone that no one could take Buda, and I wouldn't have time to ............" Ode Kessler and Sazastan have been getting along very well these days, and they can't help but turn over old accounts.
"Ridiculous !!" Sazastan was furious.
"You all stop the meeting, the one below is the elect of the dark day!" Cassano is in good shape now, although he has been fighting all night, but as soon as he enters the port of Tripoli, Wu Xin asked Father Erlan to give him a monkfish nutrient without a stripe, which used to be his staple food. So to limit the supply, this time there is no need to save, Cassano, who has just eaten a big bowl of fish gelatin, is confident that he will have a few tricks with Meladi. "Capturing her alive and selling her to the emperor or regent can bring great benefits."
"We may not be able to capture her alive." Odd Kessler handed over a drawing. He said to Father Ayrand. "You mobilized all the forces, the red part is the fire array, the black part is the blood of the infidels, arranged in this shape. As long as we can kill her, there is more than fifty percent hope that our lord's connection with this world will be restored immediately, and there will be many priests soon. β
"Huh. She'll make a decision soon, and won't wait for you to arrange the ritual in a good time, hoping that she won't choose to waste your feelings by jumping into the sea. "Although Sazastan said so, he was actually very sure that Meredi would never dare to go into the water, and that was a road to death." But she wouldn't dare to go out into the water and dance with Dagon's son, oh, maybe it's a daughter, who knows, and grandchildren aren't necessarily. β
Dagon is the most important ally of the Star-Moon Archdemon, an aquatic demon lord, and although Sazastan is not sure about the demon's specific relationship with it, except for the demon's companion Sinan Pasha, no one in the world knows more about that demon than the demigod lich.
He has accumulated a lot of knowledge in his long life.
Father Erlan listened for a long time, and was already fully aware of the significance of this battle, although he also thought that Ode Kessler was thinking too much, and it was impossible for Meredi to wait for them to arrange the sacrifice, but he still did his best to start arranging.
At the same time, the old knight Dverrich also began to set up a cordon behind the cliff with the knights of the German group, although the chances of Meredi were not good, but if she created a miracle, the group in Tripoli would become the laughing stock of the whole Europa.
Wu Xin didn't just wait for Meredi to make a decision, Sazastan and Odd Kessler both needed to save spellcasting materials for the next big battle, and he had a more economical way to greet him.
Two tongues of fire fell from the cliff, and Wu Xin began to harass Meredi under the command of Sazastan.
Odd Kessler was busy arranging the rituals, while Sazastan was able to do two things, and he began to cast several long-lasting protective spells on himself and Wu Xin.
"Anti-chaos circle."
"Anti-Evil Circle."
"Advanced Stone Skin."
Wu Xin no longer has the "Fireball Technique", and this magic can't be used anyway, but fortunately, there are still a few "Secondary Flame Blades", and he is ready to bless his teammates at any time.
Sazastan hesitated for a long time, and finally did not mobilize the divine power in his body to release the ninth-level prophecy magic "Early Warning Technique", even if it was a legendary wanderer, in such a situation, he would not be able to create any miracles.
"Hey, are you ready for banishment?" Sazastan's tone was still so bad.
Odd Kessler knew he was asking himself as soon as he heard it, because it was quite a high-level spell/divine spell. Only he could master.
He smashes the head of a freshly captured mid-tier ogre, smears his brain on the ground, and draws an intricate pattern, replying, "I have banishment." β
"That's good. Thanks to you slow man, we're really poor now. Sazastan said so, but he also joined the ranks of drawing circles. In any case, the banishment technique is a sixth-level divine spell for you, and a seventh-level spell for me, so you can save a lot of money if you use it. β
"She's going to have the ability to summon?" Odd Kessler has the answer to that question. He is actually selling good to Sazastan, no matter how cold Sazastan is, in fact, Ode Kessler does not care, he is willing to make Sazastan satisfied.
As he expected, Sazastan said aloud: "She is a voter in the dark, do you think she will have no core-level strange things?" Well, I'd say she's sure she'll be able to summon a core-level summoned beast. Be careful, and be prepared to blind the law. When she gets caught in my missile storm, I'll blind her, and I'll have to be frugal, but not too frugal. His equipment can compensate for our losses. β
Ode Kessler was silent for a while before he said: "The Law Blind is a core-level divine art, and I am no longer a core-level priest, and I can't use anything other than transforming into a Fire Elemental Elder and Wang Che Translocation. β
The forces involved in time and space are generally at least "core-level" abilities, but this "king rook castling" of Odd Kessler has extremely high requirements for factions and objects, so it is only an elite-level ability.
"Oh." Sazastan could hear the loss of the Chief Fire Priest, but he never comforted anyone, "It's nothing, with me, she has only one way to die." That's good, too. Just protect Cesare. I thought this special specialty was a complete joke at the time, but it is now somewhat useful that His Highness the Elect would need your life. β
"Hehe, my circle is almost complete. Maybe you won't be able to use a single Thaler spellcasting material today. "Odd Kessler's perception is extremely high, and he can feel that Meredi is just below the diagonal and is not moving." It's actually hard to live up to her fame, and she should have come up and let it go a minute ago. β
"Are you really that strong? It doesn't seem to be very expensive. Wu Xin was a little incredulous, a strong enemy had just fled under his nose. He didn't want anything like that again this time. "Please be careful, this woman controls Benghazi, we will not be at peace, I want her to die."
"Look, Your Highness. Look at it. "Ode Kessler is not going to explain in words." Even with fire and blood, I can make her pay for her arrogance and hesitation. β
He used the faith power that Sazastan had collected as a light bulb, and although they quarreled, they still cooperated without hindrance.
Wu Xin and they have always been very cautious, and several spellcasters have communicated through Sazastan's soul communication ability.
Then at this moment, a fourth voice suddenly joined their conversation: "What a coincidence, my circle is also completed." β
This playful and confident voice is like Meredi, but not Meredi.
"See............ Sazastan and Odd Kessler have a deep understanding of divine powers, and immediately realize what is happening, and they both immediately want to activate their instantaneous spells and equipment for strange things.
"Don't be afraid, you don't have to die today, especially Sazastan, you have just been given a new hundred years of life, how can I be willing to destroy you. I've covered the scorching planet, but I can't help but light a candle. Ahaha, but be good, stop trying to contact your distant dad, what's in it for you? β
"Believe me, it's far better to be a lonely candle than to be an inconsequential dot in the stars."
"Don't be afraid, I'm here to make things clear."
"Oh, by the way, bring back Eli Adam's rank to him, he has always prayed to me so devoutly, Sazastan, your vindictiveness is too strong, this kind of magic will make people feel painful, don't try to collect power to advance, now this is your limit, this plane can't accommodate a second legend."
There was no sharpness or harshness in the laughter, and there was no serenity in the words, which could only come from the calmness of mastering everything and the clarity of knowing everything.
Wu Xin couldn't think at this time, his world was now purple, the purple that drowned everything.
The eyes see purple, the ears hear purple, and the nose smells purple.
In the mind, it is also purple.
No, it's not "purple", it's divine power!
God has come!
'Watch out for Him. β
A familiar female voice sounded, but Wu Xin didn't react for a moment to who was speaking.
He can only feel, isn't this nonsense?
Wu Xin's eyes turned purple and fell. (To be continued.) )
