Chapter 67: The Fate of the Captives
"What's the use of this thing?"
"This is the instrument used to point the way, and you can ......... it by pointing it at the sun."
"Don't explain this useless truth to me, human beings are really inferior life, and they can't tell the difference between east and west, north and south, haha."
After walking north for several days, Wu Xin's various supplies had been completely sorted out by Shahcamera and Yusuf.
All kinds of spell casting materials were taken away by them, and the sextant, which looked very mysterious, of course, attracted some attention.
Wu Xin's attitude of taking the initiative to explain how to use the sextant was a very good gesture of cooperation in Shahamera's opinion, although Yusuf didn't appreciate it, she knew that Wu Xin would definitely not completely give up his intention to resist again, but without the spell casting materials, this little warlock really had no choice.
Of course, the sextant can show the way, and as for the great latitude and longitude, you inferior beings do not understand it. ’
Wu Xin has always believed that cursing in his heart is the behavior of the weak.
But looking at Deverich tied to a camel and the two remaining female apprentices, it was hard for even him to keep his heart on the water.
After half a month of captivity, they all need ropes to be tied so as not to fall off their camels, and the two female trainees are taken turns to be strong. Storm, at this time naked ** bumping on the camel.
One of them has only one hand left, and the other has lost a milk. A third of the flesh on the room and breast, they were gnawed raw by Yusuf when he was excited.
It's just that the two female trainees relied on the knowledge they learned in the Knights Hospitaller, as well as Wu Xin's help, wrapped each other's wounds, and barely survived.
But the half-ogre still didn't let them go, and under the atrocities every day, Wu Xin knew that their bodies and wills would collapse at any time.
But the situation was even worse for the female knight of Deverrich.
Wu Xin handed the water bladder to Deverich, but the blind female knight did not want to drink, and she was also stripped of her armor, revealing the scars all over her body, she participated in too many battles for the honor of the Deverichy family.
These scars allowed her to escape being forced. Shame of violence, half-ogres also like women with fine skin and tender meat, whether they are dried or eaten.
But that doesn't mean that the half-ogre spared her, they not only ate her eyes, but also poured hot sand down her throat for fun.
The vocal cords of the female knight Devrich had been ruined, and now Wu Xin had to get very close to her in order to communicate with her.
She pushed open the water bag and said softly, "Please, leave me alone, let me die." ”
"It's easy to die, it's hard to live." As a few days ago, Wu Xin forcibly poured camel milk into her mouth despite her resistance.
"I'm already a waste." Devrich no longer has the will to live. "You can't hold a sword, you can't fight, you can't even see where the enemy is."
"Don't talk nonsense, your father is just your daughter, even if you can't fight anymore, you can accompany him. There is nothing sadder than being alone and taking your last breath. No one can bear this pain, so we have to find a partner and have children. Parents raise their children so that they will not be alone when they die. Wu Xin hugged the collapsed Devlich tightly and whispered in her ear, "You have indeed lost some precious things, but you have not lost your soul. As long as the soul is still there, can still love and be loved, and is still willing to take on your own responsibilities, then you are still a complete person. ”
"You little white face still cares about others? Looks like it's too good for you. You Sufu couldn't understand what Wu Xin said, but he felt angry in his heart.
He walked up to Wu Xin and broke his arm with one kick!
"Ah!!!!!h
"No !!!!!"
Wu Xin and the female knight Deverich screamed at the same time, and the female knight Deverichy tore off her robe a little and bandaged Wu Xin.
The fullness of her chest was exposed, but she couldn't care about it at all, and the sightless Devreich woman was not able to completely bandage Wu Xin, and she was so anxious that she almost cried.
Looking at Wu Xin, who had his broken hand, and the female knight Devreich hugging each other, Yusuf suddenly turned back to Shahcamera and said, "Was my mother lonely when she died?" ”
"She died quickly." Shahamela didn't give an answer, and she digressed from the subject. "Tomorrow morning, we will reach Godalfi's tribe, sell these women to Godalfi, let him deal with the Knights Hospitaller, and we will go directly west, to the Sultanate of Tunisia."
"But Dad didn't tell us where he's going to set up a base." In fact, his father said everything he should have said, after all, Amin was also a newcomer to the Sultanate of Tunisia, and he was not completely sure where to choose the stronghold.
"It's not too far along the coastline, and we're not going to go deep into the core of the Sultanate of Tunisia for the time being." Shahamela knew Amin's strategy. "And it can't be too far from the coastline, and it's up to us to establish a base for advancement."
She didn't feel the need for secrecy at all, a warlock without spellcasting materials and a female knight without eyes, what could happen to such a captive?
She could subdue them with just one hand.
They had passed through several small settlements along the way, most of which had been traded by Wu Xin, and the nomads were very calm about the loss of all the goods of their former trading partners and the "goods" themselves.
These are the rules of the desert.
Shahamela paid attention to collecting information on the fight between Amin the Brain Drinker and Sazastan along the way, and the elite army of hundreds of people is indeed a force to be reckoned with, but the existence of demigods and lichs, which is an absolute murderous thing even in ancient times when magic flourished, is certainly not in vain.
The latest news is that Amin the Brain Drinker has led a large group of men westward into the southern part of the Sultanate of Tunisia.
Sazastan has also been severely wounded after killing a dozen half-ogres after several fierce battles.
Shahamela knew that Amin the Brain Drinker would be looking for a place in southern Tunisia to establish a long-term stronghold, and then wait for further reinforcements and instructions from Istanbul.
She planned to take Wu Xin to Tunisia, where there would naturally be Barbary pirates to provide escort services, and send Wu Xin to Istanbul so that he could learn more about the church of the Star and Moon Great Demon.
She estimated that Wu Xin would definitely adopt a flexible attitude towards the issue of faith when he arrived in Istanbul.
The next morning, Wu Xin and the others entered Godafi's tribe.
Godafi himself went out for miles to pick up Shahamela and his party, and his posture was extremely humble.
"Several adults have worked hard from afar, I have prepared food, please enjoy it and rest for a day in my tribe." Godafi's attitude was indeed afraid, and in the process of the team of the brain-drinker Amin all the way to the northwest, several nomadic tribes with "unfirm beliefs" were destroyed.
And by Godalfi's standards, they can all be regarded as firm in their faith.
During this time, the Knights Hospitaller in Tripoli only managed to put on a limited alert in the core oasis area, and was simply unable to stop Amin from slashing and slaughtering far from the coastline.
Although Godafi's tribe numbered in the hundreds, it was completely incomparable to the army composed of hundreds of half-ogres, so he killed the sheep and chickens early, and tried to keep them low and small to avoid becoming the target of the attack.
"Kill another heretic slave." Yusuf ordered unceremoniously, and he did not care that his words made everyone in Godafi's entourage look horrified, and in fact he enjoyed the gaze. "Be careful not to get blood into your eyes, just remove it directly, and remove it completely."
"Yes, yes, yes." Godafi didn't dare to disobey, the activities of Amin the Brain Drinker in Tunisia kept him awake at night, but he also did not want to be the primary target of the Brain Drinker, after all, the chaotic Sultanate of Tunisia seemed to have more opportunities, and perhaps soon this terrible force would leave here, until then, patience seemed to be a better option.
For all the Godalfi tribesmen, the party that night was nothing short of a nightmare.
Although it was not their compatriots who were reduced to food, but merely a slave of faith in Shirek, watching the half-ogres feast on the wails of the humans made everyone can't help but find an excuse to leave, except for the hapless master Godafe.
Wu Xin, Dev Lishi, and two other female trainees are also together because of the deal, and Shahamela shows that she is not at all worried about Godafe daring to work with the Knights Hospitaller in Tripoli.
"This Devrichy is a formal knight, according to her family's financial situation, it should be worth three hundred thalers to five hundred thalers, I will pay three hundred thalers to buy her, these two apprentices ............" Godafy looked at the two numb female apprentices, there was really nothing to say, the female captives were forced. Tyrant and then being sold is a normal thing in war, but these half-ogres obviously do something completely unusual, but considering they are eating live human sashimi there, what can you expect? "A woman like this is worthless anywhere, I can only give ten thalers alone, which is already a loss, and no one in the Knights Hospitaller may be willing to redeem them."
"Ten thalers?! Then forget about these two female trainees. Yusuf, whose mouth was full of blood, waved his hand proudly, "Let's just take it and eat it on the road." ”
The two female apprentices couldn't understand the lingua franca of Xingyue, but they didn't react.
But Wu Xin clenched his fists all of a sudden, the very important reason why he endured it for so long was so that the three captured women could save their lives.
"Uh............." Gota Fe looked at Wu Xin and the female apprentice, and finally reopened the price. So be it, I will prepare for you a few sheep, plus thirty thalers, and these two women will be left to me, and there will be no one to redeem them, and I will need them myself. ”
At this price, you can already buy a healthy Europa slave girl.
But Yusuf still waved his hand: "Don't be embarrassed, we will take it all the way, and if we haven't eaten it in Tunisia, we will make the other boys happy." ”
He said this sentence deliberately in blunt Latin, and the female apprentice showed a desperate expression as he expected.
While they were talking, Shahamela saw that the expression on Wu Xin's face was becoming more and more hideous.
"Hey, Your Excellency Warlock, you seem to be able to understand the Xingyue language." She said to Wu Xin with a smile.
"Huh." Wu Xin also responded to him with a smile, but he smiled very hideously.
"Hahaha!" What's the use of being hideous? Shahamela let out a hearty laugh.
At this moment, a sense of time and space conflict hit, and a golden light curtain enveloped everything.
After the light curtain dissipated, an exclamation rang out.
"Ahh Cesare, your hands?! "This is Delia.
"Why are you hurting like this, and laughing so horrily." This is Villefort.
