Chapter Seventy-Eight, the passing year is unfavorable
Misty seas.
"Jelačic, something is wrong! Just now, the fire element fluctuated violently, and the loud noise seemed to be someone releasing a forbidden spell.
Judging by the direction from which the sound came, the battlefield is not far from us. This is the sphere of influence of the Alpha Kingdom, and I'm afraid that most of the people who do it are friends or foes! ”
Bishop Jozepp said worriedly.
From the tone of his voice, it was not difficult to hear his resentment towards the Alpha Kingdom. If it weren't for the bad relationship between the two sides, they wouldn't have used the identity of pirates to sneak over.
"Don't worry, you can see from the movement that the forbidden spell just now is not small. I'm afraid that even the ordinary Sacred Domain powerhouse can't release it.
Such a strong person may not be able to be found in the whole continent, and if the Alpha Kingdom has this kind of background, it will be revealed when the orcs invade.
It is estimated that by gathering the fire mages of their whole country together, with the help of the power of the magic array, they may be able to release this level of forbidden spells.
But we all know that the magic circle is never always better with more people. There are too many magicians gathered, how can the magicians of the main array have such strong mental power control?
Maybe it's a lich or demon that provokes a Sanctuary beast and causes a great war. However, it is really rare for a fire-type Sanctuary Demonic Beast to emerge from the sea! ”
As soon as Jelačić finished speaking, he realized that something was wrong. The Terran powerhouse of the Alpha Kingdom is not capable of releasing the forbidden spell alone, but it does not mean that there is no strong man of this level.
The two looked at each other and became suspicious of Hudson. There is no way, as the fourth dragon knight in the mainland, he is like a bright light in the night, and there is no place to hide if he wants to.
As long as the fire-type demonic beast is not sick in the brain, it will not look for excitement to run to the sea. The only exception is the dragon, the creation god favors this species too much, and they are allowed to swim by land, sea and air.
"The next task, it seems to be careful. If the dragon knights were involved, we might not be able to get out of the way.
After all, this is someone else's home field, and no one can compare to those ground snakes in their understanding of the sea area of Poison Dragon Island.
It's a pity that the Alfa are too hostile to us, otherwise with their cooperation, this operation would be really safe! ”
Bishop Jozepp said with a sigh.
A single dragon knight, their team may be able to handle it. But since the enemy has come to the door, there is no reason to come alone.
Anyway, they are now facing the identity of pirates, even if the Alpha Kingdom exterminates them all as pirates, the Holy See will not be able to say anything.
"Let's complete the mission first! If it hadn't been for someone who brought the relics of that evil beast from Poison Dragon Island, we wouldn't have known that guy died here.
When we find the Sword of Light and the Scepter of Glory, with the blessing of the artifact, you and I will be able to exert the power of the Holy Realm.
If we really meet Hudson, we can't beat the dragon, and we can't beat his crispy knight?
Of course, it's best to be able to avoid extraneous branches. When you're done with your mission, wait and see for a few days before you go out.
The war situation in the North Continent is so grim, and Hudson is still waiting for the overall situation, he can't spend it here all the time. ”
Jelačić said viciously.
Who would have imagined that the three major artifacts that symbolized divine power, the Divine Crown, the Holy Sword of Light, and the Scepter of Glory, two of which were all left out, and that the only ones on the Holy Mountain were Xibei goods?
When it comes to a piece of the black history of the Holy See, everyone keeps silent, except for the high-level members of the Holy See, the rest of the people who know about it are silenced.
Messages can be blocked, but artifacts must be retrieved. The treasure given by the Lord of Dawn was not only an artifact, but also a symbol of orthodoxy.
In order to recover the artifact, the Holy See has been tracking it down until now. I collected a lot of clues halfway, but I didn't find anything.
Including this operation, it is also a dead horse as a live horse doctor. Whether the artifact is on Poison Dragon Island or not, no one can say.
But for the Holy See, even if there is only a glimmer of opportunity, it must be tried.
Otherwise, one day the situation on the mainland will change, and all countries will find out that the artifact in their hands is an impostor, and it will have to cause a big chaos.
The bearded man, who had secretly heard the conversation between the two, was already pale with fright at the moment. Under normal circumstances, to discuss such highly confidential information, at least a magical enchantment would have to be released!
The ship is such a large area, and it is inevitable that people will come and go. Even the most basic evasion is too lazy to carry out, there is only one explanation - the belief that they can keep the secret.
Is there a better way to keep a secret than a dead man?
Maybe not only death, but also the soul will be destroyed together, completely cutting off the possibility of leaking secrets.
Even if he had already guessed in his heart that the Holy See would be destroyed, he was really sure, and the brute beard still had a sad face.
If it is another treasure, he may also take the opportunity to get it in his hands as the capital for his own turnover.
An artifact that symbolizes the orthodoxy of the Holy See, such a hot potato, even if it is given to him, the brute beard will not dare to touch it.
If he gets this thing on it, even if it is reduced to ashes, the Holy See will find him. It is useless to have the protection of big forces.
If the Holy See is determined to kill a "pirate", no force will stand up for him. It's useless to accept the nomination, his weight is not enough to make everyone and the Holy See turn their faces.
……
Back on the ship, Hudson hid in the cabin under the pretext of replenishing his magic, and took refuge in the ghost captured by the student.
The casualties of the Dalton family, that has nothing to do with him. If it weren't for his Lord Hudson to turn the tide, the Dalton family would have suffered a lot of damage this time.
Without this main fleet, their maritime trade would have been affected, and without this most important income, it would not be surprising that they would have gone from prosperity to decline.
If it weren't for the fact that it was a time of the Continental War, Hudson would still need a good name and accumulate more political capital for himself, and they would definitely not be able to run away from this wave.
"Ah Piao, if you don't want to die, you signed the contract!"
As he spoke, Hudson concocted a soul contract directly on the parchment. It doesn't take too much effort to deal with this kind of ghost who is only a third-order ghost.
It was meant to be an attempt, and it would be best if the Soul Pact could control these ghosts, and it would be okay if it couldn't.
"What are you doing, you idiots, calling you? Don't hurry up and sign the contract! ”
The fan version of Maxim shouted.
followed Master Hudson, although he was not hungry for nine meals in three days, but his status was really not high.
It's okay to pretend to be forced in front of outsiders, but when you get to your own home, you are bullied by bears.
The complaint can't afford to lose the dragon's face, the bickering is abused, and the "friendly exchange" can't take advantage, Maxim really can't get angry.
In order to change his position at the bottom, it is imperative to collect more younger brothers. These ghosts are very good, and they look like bullies at first glance.
If he is disobedient, he can be slapped to death with one claw, and these guys will never dare to stab in front of Uncle Long.
In fact, with the rapid growth of Maxim's strength, the private rivalry between the dragon and the bear has rarely happened recently.
To be able to suppress Maxim in front, in addition to the strong talent of the Earth Bear itself, the most important thing is that Bear Stearns' cultivation is higher.
The bloodline talent to the Sanctuary is essentially just a process of accumulating power. As long as you absorb more energy that can be digested, you can speed up this process.
Bear Stearns' growth is naturally very fast, but after the bloodline talent is digested, the next rules are comprehended, and it is not just a matter of energy.
Seeing that Maxim's strength quickly caught up, and his own strength growth reached the limit, Bear Stearns was naturally unwilling to continue to "compete".
The dragon's strength is all-encompassing, but the Earth Bear is a partial student. The dragon and the bear of the same cultivation, unless they can take advantage of each other on the earth, he can't beat the dragon in other places.
If it weren't for Maxim's lack of experience, he would not have been abused so badly every time he fought with Bear Stearns on the land.
Maxim, who didn't know that he could turn over as a serf and sing, is now suffering from bear phobia and continues to pull people into the water to the bottom.
"Necromancer!"
An insightful ghost said in a panic.
Immediately after that, the captured ghosts all trembled. Tossing the soul body, the necromancer is a professional.
If it falls into the hands of someone else, it is a big deal to die, and it can be resurrected on the ship later anyway.
It's different when you meet a necromancer, and death is a luxury. Fear awakened some of the memories they had left behind before their deaths, and each of them was frightened.
"Now that you know about necromancers, it doesn't seem like you're too stupid. Either take the initiative to sign the contract yourself, or we will talk about this issue after a hundred years of soul refining. ”
Hudson said with a smirk of intimidation.
The identity of the necromancer cannot be revealed, but if the knowers are a group of ghosts, then it doesn't matter.
Even if they wanted to leak the news, there was nowhere to report it. As dark creatures that everyone shouts at, no one will listen to their nonsense.
"My lord, we ......"
Before the ghost could finish speaking, the soul fire was already burning, and under the unbearable pain, the unlucky ghost decisively left a mark on the contract.
After the master-servant contract was established, Hudson, who was originally shouting and shouting to kill, instantly changed his face. Not only did the scorching soul fire listen, but a stream of pure dark power poured out, repairing the broken soul body for the ghost.
The ghosts, who were still hesitant, hurriedly signed a contract. They all became their own ghosts, and the tense atmosphere in the room suddenly disappeared.
Feeling the connection between the two, Hudson was sure that if he used the power of contract to kill these ghosts at this moment, even the ghost ship would not be able to resurrect them.
"Alright, let's talk about the ghost ship! Don't tell me you don't know anything. ”
Hudson asked with a smile.
The bland questioning, falling into the eyes of the ghost is endless horror. They hadn't forgotten the soul-burning scene just now.
"Master, we don't know how the ghost ship was born.
In our memory, we followed the captain around to rob business trips from the beginning, and grew from ordinary people all the way to the present.
We didn't even know we were dead until we met you. There is not much difference between daily living habits and ordinary people.
Especially during the days on the ship, our memories seem to be affected, and the passage of time is deliberately forgotten.
By the way, we were able to sense the location of the ghost ship. If you want to find them, we can show them the way. ”
The ghost, who had suffered a lot, hurriedly replied.
Unfortunately, none of these messages were of Hudson's concern, except for the value of finding the location of the ghost ship.
The origin and weaknesses of the ghost ship are not introduced. They don't even remember who they were when they were alive.
As for the strength of the ghost ship, it needs no introduction at all. Hudson, who had fought once, knew better than themselves.
Knowing the location of the ghost ship, Hudson did not rush into action.
Slave contracts are not a panacea, and although they can forcibly enslave ghosts, they must be overpowered by mental power.
His spiritual power is indeed good, but at most, he forcibly enslaves a few ghosts of the same realm, and if there are more of them, he will face backlash.
If you want to control the ghost ship by controlling the ghost, it seems that it will not work now.
After a moment's hesitation, Hudson suddenly slapped his head. It is unrealistic for one's own spiritual power to forcibly enslave the three ghost kings, but if it is replaced by Bear Stearns and Maxim, it will be different.
As a powerhouse in the Holy Domain, it is not a big problem at all to suppress three ghosts that are lower than his own strength.
It's all their own people, and whoever controls the ghost ship is the same. Anyway, these powers can't see the light of day, and can only be used in secret.
Hudson believed he wasn't the first to hit the ghost ship attention, and wouldn't be the last. Those great forces that inherit the ancients, who don't have the strength to do dirty work!
Just as he was thinking about it, the ship suddenly shook violently, and Hudson immediately thought of "storm at sea" in his mind.
Now is not the season of the storm, but it is possible for any unreasonable natural phenomenon to occur in the vast sea.
The laws that humans have summed up are only suitable most of the time. When they encounter sudden extreme weather, they can only blame their bad lives.
As soon as he stepped out of the ship, Hudson saw a sailor who had climbed the mast, thrown into the sea, about to be swallowed by the sea, and finally he instructed Maxim to pull the man back.
However, this kind of lucky people who happened to be seen by Hudson were only a few after all. Most of the unlucky people end their lives the first time they fall into the sea.
The master of the ship reacted very quickly, and soon someone leaped up and forcibly lowered the sails.
The shaking intensity of the ship has been slightly reduced, but under the baptism of wind and waves, it can still only go with the current.
A good fleet was forcibly distanced by the wind and waves. Two of the small warships were directly overturned by the waves because they were one step slower to react.
Byron, as the commander of the fleet, had a gloomy and terrible face. It was unfavorable to go out properly, and the shadow of the enemy was not touched, and it was hit with a series of blows.
First encountered a ghost ship attack, and then encountered a storm at sea, I don't know how to complain about this luck.
Seeing that he was pushed forward by the wind and waves, Hudson could only shake his head secretly. In the face of the power of nature, human beings are still too small.
It's not impossible to use magic to forcibly control the ship, but in this way, fighting against the wind and waves, the damage to the hull will be very great, and it will be possible to directly tear the ship apart.
Essentially, these ships were wooden sail warships. Even if the magic array is blessed, it does not have the ability to confront the wind and waves head-on.
Glancing at Viscount Cayo in front of him, Hudson did not speak. This guy didn't help command the fleet, and ran to him to hang around, obviously a little clever ghost.
In the unlikely event that the storm continues to expand and engulf the entire fleet, it is undoubtedly safest to follow Hudson.
No matter how severe the natural disaster is, the survival rate of the dragon knight is guaranteed. Even if it was to run to the center of the storm and swing around, the dragon would still be able to get out of the way.
"Lord Earl, the wind and waves are so strong now, the fleet can only drift with the wind, and the fog in our poisonous dragon sea area has been blown away.
Do you think it's better for us to evacuate, or do we continue to search for pirates? ”
Cayotau said almost as soon as possible.
This topic does not have much discussion value. It's all here, how can you go home empty-handed?
"Such a good opportunity, naturally I have to go to Poison Dragon Island to see, the legendary place, not everyone has the opportunity to see.
As for the pirates, I don't think they're any better off than we are. In particular, the situation of those four-like warships that have been transformed from merchant ships will only get worse.
If they can't meet them, they shouldn't be killed; If they do, then take them out. ”
Hudson said calmly.
Frankly speaking, at this moment, he really became interested in Poison Dragon Island. Without the fog obscuring the view, the greatest danger is gone.
The danger of the island, and the cannon fodder of the Dalton family are available. Until the fleet is gone, he will not be in danger of Lord Hudson.
……
"Island!"
"There's an island ahead!"
Hearing the cheers of his subordinates, the brute beard was about to be blown up, but his face had to cheer along.
There was a poisonous dragon island in this sea, and the island in front of them was obviously the destination of their trip.
was directly taken to the terminal by the wind and waves, how did he play?
"Pass the order down and let the fleet move towards the island!"
The brute beard commanded.
The people of the Holy See watched from the sidelines, cheering a few times, and no one could feel that something was wrong. If they uncharacteristically refuse to dock, they will immediately arouse the suspicion of the Holy See and his party.
Deep down, Brute Beard could only hope that the Dalton family's fleet would come sooner. Otherwise, once the mission is completed, it will be the end of this pirate team.
