Chapter 161: Cicadas of the Dark Sun

The next day, at dawn, the entire inhabitants of the port of Tripoli were awakened by a scream in the morning fog.

This is the result of the demigod lich being provoked.

Although it is not more destructive, it is indeed extremely extraordinary to be able to hear this scream for thousands of people.

"Who?! Who would dare to steal the property of the great Sazastan ?! ”

Despite this question, in fact, Sazastan already has a suspect, and the smartest and wisest demigod lich will never give anyone the power to "never suspect guilt".

It's just that he didn't look for the suspect, so he directly knocked down the suspect's father.

When old Deverich was defeated, he was completely unclear about the situation.

"Where is your daughter, that despicable thief, lowly reptile, ungrateful female demon?!"

"Did she abscond in fear of crime?! Say!!! ”

Sazastan didn't weigh a few pounds at all, but the old knight whose strength exceeded the elite level just couldn't stand up.

And the demigod lich has not really stimulated the power of "soul sucking" at all.

The female knight of Devrich, who had risen early to adapt to her abilities, rushed over as fast as she could.

"You female demon, I help you so much, you dare to steal my property?!"

"Not only did I eat all the demon's meat, but I also chewed the bones of the mythical shark."

Sazastan left the old knight behind and immediately pounced on the female knight Deverich, who had no intention of killing the old Deverich, otherwise he would have died.

But for the female knight Deverich, he is really murderous.

If it weren't for the fact that she was Wu Xin's lover, Sazastan would have pulled out the female knight's soul as soon as possible.

"Please calm down, Your Highness Sazastan, I think you're looking for the wrong person." Only half a step slower than the female knight, Wu Xin also ran over panting.

"What?! You're going to give perjury for her?! "Sazastan roared and sarcastically concluded that Wu Xin was also involved in the theft." Your dad loves to study devotion to Darksun in the bedroom with Sister Darksun, did you tell me that the two of you spent a night on the beach studying tactical ideas together?! ”

"Uh........." Wu Xin was really speechless. In the past few hours, he and the female knight Deverichy have really studied tactics together, and the new skills of the female knight are really impressive.

And because the cooldown time is very long, they want to determine some specific data. It took a long time.

Of course, they did say something else to each other during this time, but they didn't have the courage to go any deeper on the beach due to weathering.

They had planned to go to the bedroom in the morning to continue.

Wu Xin felt that this was a matter of both public and private affairs, and there was no need to say much about the private aspect. All lower beings who reproduce through both sexes can understand the benefits.

On the male side, he is also very concerned about the demonization tendency of female knights, so he offers a handsome guy to ensure that her "human" part prevails.

So Wu Xin replied to Sazastan like this: "We are indeed together all night, Sazastan, how can I deceive you?" ”

"Dare you say you didn't plan to use those shark bones to curry favor with that Kou Tao Fishman tribe?!" Wu Xin's plan was quite secretive, but the priestess of Horbarukuluna had no sense of secrecy at all. "I thought you'd get lost, but I didn't expect that?!"

"I'm lost, I'm lost. Think about it, and I'm certainly not saying you haven't thought about it enough. Rather, you have to consider some of the abilities of us mortals. Wu Xin really did his best to save the female knight Deverich, "Even if we want to steal, who can steal the wisest thing in Sazastan?" ”

"Of course other idiots can't, but she might." Sazastan is so manic, of course, for a reason. "She definitely has some of the demon's teleportation ability, and she's the only one here who has both motivation and ability."

"But you see, she didn't improve further, and her mental state didn't deteriorate, if she ate the meat directly. She couldn't be okay. Wu Xin's words finally calmed down Sazastan, reasoning and logic are always useful to Sazastan, even if it is a furious Sazastan.

He got the Deverrich father and daughter to their feet.

"Dorothea. I hope you don't blame him............" Although the entire Tripoli high-level had already come over at this time, Wu Xin still gave the wronged female knight a hug.

The other people present couldn't hear Sazastan's other accusations just now, and could only see that Wu Xin strongly protected his lover, and they were still together all night to "study tactics"?

"Allow me to investigate the scene and hunt down the real thief." However, Wu Xin was too worried, and the female knight fully understood that Sazastan would suspect her. She has no problem with this at all.

Her performance reassured some of Sazastan's doubts.

Although he still had reservations, Sazastan eventually stopped raising the issue.

Wu Xin wanted to go to the temporary warehouse with the female knight to see the situation, but Sazastan stopped him: "Pampering her too much will make the forces of the German and Italian groups even more unbalanced, the situation of Father Erlan is already very unstable, haven't you done everything to prevent the Italians from treating you as their own?" ”

Wu Xin was sure that if anyone thought Sazastan was stupid, he must be really stupid.

Wu Xin has indeed been supporting Italians who will not have the support of large numbers of immigrants in order to maintain the internal factional balance, and his secret intentions cannot be concealed by Sazastan.

The demigod lich did still know everything most of the time, and he continued: "And if I can find out, I'll find out, just let her alone, you drive the others away, we have other things to discuss." ”

"Okay, let's all go to work, it's just a misunderstanding." Wu Xin drove away the others in his ambiguous eyes.

"The Austrian immigrants you have been worried about in an accident should be fine, and Bulsa has no intelligence." Sazastan is also very clear about the value of these immigrants, and without German-speaking immigrants, Wu Xin would not have a basic plate.

"No news is good news, and it shows that the migrant fleet has escaped their blockade."

"Well, I know it's good news, so I'll say this first, and there's bad news, do you want to sit down and listen." Sazastan

Wu Xin responded high-spirited in order to show his leadership temperament: "No news can defeat me, you say!" ”

"There was a little bit of a problem with the Italian rye and oats we ordered."

Wu Xin handed over Bursha to Sazastan and did get the information. But this was by no means the intelligence he wanted.

Sazastan's words made Wu Xin's eyes darken, food, this is something that must not go wrong.

More so than immigration.

It was a catastrophe that was extremely difficult to remedy, compared to the hundred thousand pounds of wheat of all kinds that he had ordered. The hundreds of pounds of crab meat that excited Father Ellan were a drop in the bucket.

Although he had told Father Erlan that he could go to Tunisia to loot food as a last resort, this was a desperate alternative.

It is a tactic that is extremely contrary to his strategic interests.

Because it was Wu Xin and his gang who were feared and hated by the local people of Tunisia, he had to appear as a savior in order to deal with Haireddin, who had ample supplies at sea. Even if the main force of Hayreddin is a pirate, there must be a serious problem of military discipline. Adultery is indispensable, but as long as Hayreddin has the heart to live in Tunisia for a long time, he will definitely try to restrain his subordinates.

The troops that really frighten the people the most are definitely the ones that have not eaten or drunk, not the ones that often commit crimes.

If the grain is levied like locusts crossing the border, it is likely that the enemy will gain fame and make the local population reject, and the local population will turn away from the Hasf royal family, who cannot protect them, and instead hope to be protected by Hayreddin. Therefore, Wu Xin's westward march without food may instead become Helreddin's right-hand man in his conquest of Tunisia.

Not to mention the direct military risk that this would cause a complete failure of their own eyes and ears, and the local people would actively report to Hyreddin.

If there is a big defeat in the field, then everything is over.

"What did Bulsha confess?" Although there was only one person and a skull in his office, Wu Xin still tried to control his voice as much as possible, which was a kind of cultivation. "When was Sherlock's fleet stopped?"

Sazastan jumped on the table and nodded, "It was three days ago, when Sherlock asked Bursa for help." However, at that time, Bulsha was unwilling to admit that she was a believer in the Lord of the End of All Things, and refused to help, saying that she could not influence Hayreddin's decision-making. Hayreddin's fleet was too large to have a problem separating a few fast sail oars and using ships to capture a convoy of grain carriers. Sherlock came half a month earlier than expected, so we didn't realize the urgency of the situation yet. ”

"You bring Bulsha, no, you don't have to." Wu Xin wanted to ask Bursa about the situation in person at first, but then he refused again, and he closed his eyes. I thought about it. "She offered a solution?"

"Well, after I tortured her, she said that although she couldn't influence Hyreddin, she had a way to get the food back for us." Sazastan couldn't help but feel a little proud. "She knew that there was a spy of the Roman Church in the fleet, and she could give that man an opportunity to give us this grain and cloth."

This is half of her ransom, and in addition, as a member of Sherlock's parishion, she will also ask Sherlock to pay the other half of the ransom on her behalf, three thousand thalers. Even if they are not friends, they have absolute mutual trust in this level of money, and they don't need to fight IOUs, which is their traditional Jewish culture. ”

Although it was miserable, the ransom that Bursa set for himself was really not low, and the grain that Wu Xin asked Shylock to buy was about 100,000 pounds of various oats and rye, as well as a small amount of aged wheat, which was worth 6,000 to 7,000 thalers in the port of Venice, and the price of selling it to the port of Tripoli was 10,000 thalers, and the reason for the small profit was because the situation in the Mediterranean was not so tense at that time.

There are also some relatively small tonnage, but not low value of cloth and military equipment, Wu Xin also attaches great importance to the distribution of clothes and shoes to soldiers.

This purchase amount is roughly all the financial resources that Wu Xin has, so that Father Erlan Mountain is exhausted, but Wu Xin must do his best to hoard food and cloth, otherwise all actions will be impossible.

This ransom is extremely appropriate, even if the grain is not counted, only the ones that Sherlock has to pay on his behalf, and Bulsha's net worth is extremely rich.

And this payment method is also extremely considerate, Wu Xin's financial situation can barely pay 20,000 thalers, but the cash flow will be extremely difficult, and it is best to be able to deduct it directly.

"But her weapons and equipment must be returned to her, after all, she must be realized by herself, not let go by us. Of course, we can keep all the expendable flions, including a nice bottle of Elite Poison. The Turtle Mixed with the Gray Umbrella Mushroom is what Odd Kessler's stupid fool thought was a high-level recovery potion, and if anyone drank this, they would have no more trouble. ”

"These conditions are really much more than I expected." Wait for Sazastan to finish speaking. Wu Xin expressed his appreciation.

"Of course, with the torture and my ability to negotiate, of course she can only hand over all her property and mobilize all her connections." Sazastan unceremoniously boasted about himself.

However, frowning and thinking about it for a while, Wu Xin said in a fairly confident tone: "I'm afraid this time it's not what you think." ”

He finally understood.

'Watch out for Him. ’

Wu Xin is not smarter than Sazastan, but he is far away. On the contrary, there is a good perspective for price comparison.

When Ciric arrives, he will not be satisfied with a mere slash, he must have other strategies to play with the enemy.

Bulsa's conditions confirm this idea.

"Absurd, arrogant, arrogant, and ignorant............" Sazastan reacted quite violently to Wu Xin's words.

He was wise enough, but still not afraid of Ciric.

"No matter how hard you torture her or be gentle with her, Miss Bursa will give us this information, she is now a person of the dark sun." Wu Xin's voice was calm, but his judgment was shocking.

"Can't ........." Sazastan didn't say the word "can" in the end, and Wu Xin gave a slight hint, and he found his blind spot because he was too close. In a few seconds, the voice went from high to low, and then to high again, "She almost fooled Sazastan!" And you, a warlock who can't even comprehend eighth-level magic............"

Although it was still very unfriendly at first, Sazastan did not go as crazy as Wu Xin expected.

Sazastan didn't say anything that a fool thinks about and must have a good idea.

"I see, she really doesn't have to give us the food."

"She's got a way to get the spy's trust."

"With her identity as an important person in Xingyue and the spy, not only can the food be taken out, but the spy can also be preserved."

"Give us supplies so that we can sustain ourselves on the southern shores of the Mediterranean. It was also in the interests of the Roman Church, and the occupation of Tunisia by Haredin was a greater danger to the Italian city-states, especially the Papal States, than to Spain. ”

As long as there are good opponents. The demigod lich doesn't really mind defeat, especially a small loss that doesn't cause damage.

He laughed contentedly: "Haha, what a pleasant day, I haven't felt like this in many years." It's really a dark sun, the cicada of the stars and the moon was originally a master of bluffing, and now this cicada of the dark sun can be regarded as a fraudulent artist. ”

"Both Bulsha. It's also Meredi, these two ladies who hate each other to the extreme, but they are brought together, and it is indeed the humor of His Majesty the Dark Sun. Oh, cicada of the dark sun. The next question is, how do we use this intelligence? Of course, Wu Xin will not expose the current situation of the Dark Sun Cicada, although she obviously does not have the ability to summon the Shirek clone like Meredi, but Wu Xin doesn't know how much ability he has in his heyday, in case he is not much different from Meredi, he doesn't want to compete with her.

What's more, Wu Xin's interests are not here: "How can we carefully let the Ottomans know that the Dark Sun has driven a nail in them, and at the same time obtain benefits, avoid being retaliated by the Dark Sun?" ”

Sazastan's laughter stopped, his teeth grinding against each other, and a voice full of hatred: "Dark Sun and Xingyue, these two enemies, it is our general goal to drive them all out of this plane, but for now, just as we know the plans of Dark Sun and dare not advertise at will, he is a god who will be rewarded." Trading with the stars and moons is too risky. Without the enemy's internal relationship intelligence, it will be difficult for us to find suitable buyers, let alone long-term contacts, and we will definitely be betrayed to the dark sun. ”

"Indeed, if we make a deal with Xingyue Fang, who doesn't know anything about the inside story, we will definitely be retaliated against by the dark sun." Wu Xin also nodded in agreement, this is the helplessness of the small forces between the two powers, and it is the most difficult place. "But it's not just Xingyue that Dark Sun has to deal with, another potential buyer, we still have a trusted channel." (To be continued.) )
