Chapter 25: Reunion after a long absence

"The existence of any human being is a miracle. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”

The camel didn't know if it was a powerful prayer, for what was happening before his eyes was so apt proof of its contents.

Magellan's longsword was blocked.

It was some kind of power that belonged to Scientology, it had nothing to do with the essence, it had nothing to do with reality, it was some kind of outright transcendent power, a miracle.

The black-robed man saved the camel's life.

When the camel finally understood this, he came to his senses, but saw a desperate reality.

They can't run away.

There was an endless desert in front of them, and if they didn't want to turn into dried corpses, then turning back was the only option, but that meant facing Magellan again.

"I don't have any weapons anymore. ”

The camel looked down and rummaged through the bag, then gave up.

"We can't deal with him, he's basically not human. ”

"Will we make it through the desert alive to Dhabes?"

"No, I can't. ”

The man nodded slowly under the black robe, and the camel knew what he meant.

"Okay, let's go. ”

The camel let out a long sigh and made the two camels turn around.

Without the slightest surprise, they saw the waiting Magellan in the woods.

His left hand had been roughly bandaged, but it was clearly not enough, and the blood oozed white bandages that flowed like a stream, dripping onto the sand.

The sharp pain covered his forehead with cold sweat, but it didn't rob him of his sanity and danger.

The camel felt like a poor beast in a trap, and he tried everything to survive, only to see that there was no hope in the first place.

"Science protects anyone. ”

The camel did not know whether it was a declaration or a prayer, but his companion once again held off Magellan's attack.

Unfortunately, a poor camel was crushed.

The tall camel let out a long wail, broke its long legs, smashed a big hole in the sand, and died. The explorer who witnessed all this was completely crushed almost instantly, and he finally understood what a terrifying thing he was facing.

But the black-robed man was still standing.

At that moment, he tried to protect himself with the power of the gods, but Magellan's sword smashed into the camel's back through an invisible ball, killing the poor camel beast completely.

The earth trembled, and the dull noise and the churning of the sand waves quickly subsided, but Magellan's attack was not over.

The sword was raised and dropped again and again, like a torrential rain, endlessly, but each time it was blocked by an invisible force, only to make the sand pit on the ground deeper.

The black-robed man was like a real person walking in the heavy rain, and every movement became slow because of some kind of resistance, as if he was walking under water.

The sword slashed silently through the canopy, and the severed leaves fell from the trunk like a green snowfall.

The man struggled to prop himself up, and he slowly but surely raised a hand, and then a point of light appeared in the air, gathering into a spear of light.

"Science gives weapons to the faithful. ”

He uttered the words in a hoarse voice, and then threw his spear with all his might.

It is hard to imagine that a man can throw a beam of light, even in the world of the Essence, which is the "substitute" of the Holy See - what a man throws out is the power of the One Divine Science itself.

Magellan could not escape the light.

The moment the spear left the black-robed man's left hand, it crossed space and reached its target, and Magellan leaned sideways to block the deadly attack that should have passed through his chest in a stupid way - he held the spear in his left hand, allowing the tip of the spear to go all the way through his arm and stab out at the shoulder.

The light dissipated, and blood gushed out eagerly.

But Magellan was indifferent, he lost his left arm, but as if nothing had happened, he continued his stormy attack.

The devout believers of science are still holding on, his barrier crumbling, Magellan's blade getting closer and closer above his head.

Eventually, Magellan slashed through the man's defenses with a single sword.

At that moment, the two hostile people seemed to lose their strength at the same time, but despite this, Magellan staggered to the black-robed man with his head down.

"Who are you?"

The man raised his hands and lifted his black hood, revealing a melancholy face.

The face was handsome and gloomy, not as pale as a living person.

Magellan remembers this face.

"Hello, Count. ”

"That's not my name. ”

The Count of Monte Cristo uttered this in a voice hoarse from thirst, and then stood up with difficulty.

"What's your name?"

"You can call me Earl, like ...... Same as before. ”

Magellan turned and walked towards the lake.

"Come and have some water. ”

Three men, almost unconscious, walked to the lake and knelt on the sand to drink.

Magellan's wound on his left hand was still bleeding, and there was not a trace of blood on his face, and the camel thought that maybe the man would faint from blood loss in the next second.

"Help me heal my wounds. ”

The Count shook his head: "I am from the Holy See. ”

"Whatever your plan is, you need to be alive to accomplish it. ”

Magellan smiled wearily and placed his sword across the dunes.

"It's the first time I've seen you want to kill someone," the Count drank calmly in the icy killing intent, "because of the Countess?"

"It's not about her, I just don't like trouble. ”

"Then you shouldn't provoke the Holy See. The camel said this with a sarcastic expression, and he knew what was the last thing Magellan wanted to hear now.

"You can take enough fresh water with you, and get out of here and go back to Thebes. Magellan changed to a more comfortable position to make his left hand less painful, "on condition that he help me heal the wound." Of course, you can do otherwise. ”

"And then you're going to cut off our heads with that sword?"

"I have provoked the Holy See. ”

Magellan calmly looked at the two who had finished drinking the water, and they were silent together.

"You'd better stay away from the Earl of New North County," the Count put his hand on Magellan's wound, where the pure white light cast a deep shadow in the wrinkles on his face, "I will do anything to kill you, even if killing the Countess will attract the wrath of the King of the World......"

"I want to know why. ”

"Your very existence is a disadvantage to science, and the Holy See will never give up its efforts to kill you, and I hope to do more," the Count took a deep breath, "and I will sacrifice you to the gods." ”

"If your gods would accept a man as a sacrifice, then he is not worthy of worship. ”

"When you see heaven, you understand everything. ”
