Chapter 197: Trade, War, and the True Divine Concubine
The affairs of Morrigan and Cúchulainn, not to mention, are well known, but they are not secrets.
Ever since Cúchulainn returned to Ulster from the Land of Shadows and made a name for himself on the battlefield, he caught the attention of the goddess.
Morrigan once boldly professed his love for Cúchulainn.
Morrigan claimed that she could bring victory to Cúchulainn, hoping to be rewarded with love, but Cúlmarin recklessly asserted that he did not need the help of others, especially women, in his battle, and showed contempt for his charms, making Morrigan his mortal enemy.
Although the two of them had fought each other many times, and neither had a bargain for each other, Morrigan was a god after all, and Cúchulainn was not an ordinary person who could handle it with common sense, and the shadow leader did not think that he could survive in front of her.
Therefore, just by seeing her alone, he had completely lost his will to fight, and he didn't dare to show his face in front of her at all.
The plan to assassinate Jiang Lu by thunder was also forcibly swallowed back by him.
And what made him even more incomprehensible was of course the relationship between the two of them.
The Shadow Leader didn't know what Daddy was telling Cow or Horse to tell him, but he knew what Concierber was doing to himself.
So no matter how he looked at it, he felt that Mo Ruigan was like Jiang Lu's subordinate.
As a result, he had many doubts about Jiang Lu's identity.
Can indicate the existence of gods, perhaps. Only more powerful gods, right?
Could it be that Jiang Lu is the embodiment of some supreme person in the world?
If so, then who is he?
While he was thinking, the conversation between Jiang Lu and Morrigan had come to an end.
"That's the plan."
Morrigan nodded thoughtfully, "I agree, but the only question is whether the flames you are talking about will be able to render Cúchulainn powerless. ”
"You've fought with him, and you should know his strength, so you can judge it if you try."
Hasmol's feather appeared out of thin air in Jiang Lu's hand:
"Let's start with a simple test of the water."
As soon as the words fell, the feathers became bright, and then a milky white flame burst out from the feathers.
The flame was holy and dazzling, as pure as the sun.
This made the shadow leader hidden in the shadows suddenly startled, although he couldn't hear the conversation between the two clearly, but his eyes were not decorations, and his gaze was glued to the flame containing terrifying energy.
"Ruger! He must be Ruger, the god of light! Such a flame, like the sun, must not be wrong! ”
His eyes widened, and his body trembled violently with extreme excitement:
"No wonder. No wonder he and Princess Dectelle have that kind of relationship, because they are husband and wife! I have to tell King Concierge about this! ”
Without the slightest hesitation, he turned and left, desperate to tell Concierge the news.
As for the assassination of Jiang Lu, even Concierber's order was directly annulled.
Not to mention that Ruger is his own man, he will definitely be a powerful help against the Three Kingdoms Alliance, and even if he is dead and faithfully carries out Concierber's orders, he will not be able to defeat the gods.
But because he was too anxious to deliver the news and left the place too early, he didn't see it, and Morrigan quickly shook his head.
"This flame is indeed very special and powerful, this flame alone can burn the entire mainland of Ireland, but this one can't kill Cú Chulainn, and it won't put him in a desperate situation."
"He's so fierce?"
Jiang Lu was a little surprised, although the strength of this Heavenly Flame was only at the level of a median angel, it was not something that a mortal could withstand.
Is Cú Chulainn really a mortal body comparable to a god?
"What about this?"
Jiang Lu put away his feathers, unbuckled his belt, and began to release the three flavors of true fire.
And this time the flames were released, which caused Morrigan to be shocked.
"What is this?!"
In an instant, Morrigan had goosebumps all over his body and jumped back in horror.
Even she had to avoid it.
Her intuition told her that if she got this thing, her incarnation would definitely be destroyed, and maybe even her body would be affected.
After all, the Three Flavors True Fire is the supreme flame of the trinity of Heavenly Sacred Fire, Hell Fire, and Jiang Lu's Quenching Fire.
That is, a forbidden thing such as the foundation of the evil god can contain its energy, and it can be replaced with any item under the main god, let alone sent out, and it can't be preserved.
Even if it can be sent out, it will hurt the enemy by 1,000 and damage by 800, and if it misses, it may not even be able to achieve the effect of injuring the enemy by 1,000.
"This is what is often referred to as venting fire."
Jiang Lu shrugged his shoulders and looked relaxed.
"You have this ability, and you let me be your bodyguard? Who protects whom? ”
Mo Ruigan looked at Jiang Lu as if she was looking at a fool, she didn't understand why such Jiang Lu still needed human protection.
This is the condition that Jiang Lu talked about with her.
Jiang Lu cooperated with Morrigan to play a play, surround Ulster City with flames, so that Cúchulainn could not do anything, and could only watch the destruction of Ulster, which he was proud of, at this time Morrigan appeared and turned the tide, so as to attract Cúchulainn and change his mind, and then Morrigan trampled Cúchulainn's dignity under his feet and humiliated him fiercely, taking revenge on this scumbag, so as to achieve revenge psychologically.
And the price is that Morrigan needs to guard Jiang Lu's side and protect him from being assassinated by Concierber.
Originally, Mo Ruigan felt a little strange, how could Jiang Lu be afraid of assassination if he could have the power to destroy the city, but now that he saw the power of the Three Flavors True Fire, he didn't understand it even more.
"Because I can't activate this ability at any time, as the saying goes, if you're not afraid of thieves, you're afraid of thieves, and in the face of a crisis that may arise at any time and don't know how it will happen, I can't guarantee that I will be able to resist it."
Jiang Lu sighed: "It takes time to prepare." ”
"Time? You just sent it out in an instant, okay? ”
"It doesn't take time to untie your pants?" Jiang Lu asked rhetorically: "If you show it at any time, what's the difference between this and playing hooligan?" ”
"Do you care about this?"
"Nonsense!"
After retorting angrily, Jiang Lu changed his words again:
"But there is a problem, I can control the holy fire, but I can't control the fire in the back, as long as it touches the entity, it will burn for a day, so I will mix it in the holy fire, specially prepared for Cúchulainn, so as to trap him, so when the time comes, you remember to take care of Cúchulainn at the end, casually pretend to do some rituals, the bigger the momentum, the better, and then last for a day, it will be extinguished by itself."
"Understood."
Morrigan nodded.
The two agreed on a time, and Morrigan left with curiosity.
She had obviously taken a great interest in Jiang Lu at this time.
Jiang Lu didn't care about this, no one knew his charm better than him.
Plus Zippo aka Little Evil God Roots.
As we all know, playing Zippo is a fascinating thing to do.
So it seemed to him that it was all normal.
He was more concerned with something else at this point.
That's what he just discovered, the drawbacks of the three flavors of true fire.
It doesn't matter if it can't be controlled after it is sent, and what's even more fatal is that Jiang Lu can't ensure that it can hit the target.
When he was showing his strength to Morrigan, he had a serious negligence, and that was that he pointed his gun at someone.
This led to the fact that the three flavors of the true fire were aimed at Morrigan at first.
But the other party just jumped back with a conditioned reflex, which was to avoid the three-flavor true fire.
This made Jiang Lu realize that for the strong, if it wasn't for the traps arranged in advance, the uncontrollable Sanwei True Fire would be useless except for the deterrent effect.
No matter how powerful it is, it can't be hit, it's still just a decoration.
It's like using a bazooka to bombard a fly, if you can't hit it, it's not as good as a fly swatter.
This realization brought him to his senses from complacency.
Although the Three Flavors True Fire is his most powerful skill at the moment, if it is touched by the gods, it will die, and if it is touched by the main god, it must not be used as a reliance, otherwise it is likely to capsize in the gutter.
This made Jiang Lu suddenly feel a little melancholy, and turned around and walked towards the camp.
"There is still a long way to go"
And when he returned to the camp with emotion, he noticed that Cúchulainn's troops had triumphed.
Seeing Jiang Lu walking out of the woods, the ghost-faced fox and the heavy artillery came up.
You can see that they are all happy.
"Zero casualties!" Heavy Artillery said proudly to Jiang Lu.
Jiang Luxin said how could the boy really get in, but he still smiled on his face and nodded: "It's amazing." ”
Cú Chulainn threw his armor and spear on the carriage, straddled the edge of the carriage, and said with some satisfaction and admiration: "Thanks to the two of you, this battle went quite smoothly, the only pity is that we didn't catch their leader and let them run." ”
Jiang Lu looked left and right, except for the three of them, only half of them came back, and asked, "What about the rest of the people?" ”
"Still cleaning up the battlefield in the future." Heavy artillery returns.
Jiang Lu let out an "oh".
The ghost-faced fox approached at this time and asked Jiang Lu cryptically, "How are you?" ”
He meant, of course, to ask, did Concierber's assassination occur?
Jiang Lu knew it and replied: "I didn't come when I should have come, and I didn't come when I shouldn't have come." ”
"What shouldn't be here?" Ghost-faced fox doesn't know why.
Jiang Lu pointed with his chin at the Ulster warrior who was still fainting in the corner: "Huh." ”
It was only then that a few people noticed the warrior who had been spelled by Morrigan.
Cu Chulainn hurriedly stepped forward to check and found that the warrior had only temporarily lost consciousness, so he relaxed slightly, and then asked Jiang Lu: "What's the matter?" ”
Jiang Lu didn't answer, but showed a weird smile at Cu Chulainn: "I can't see it, there are still problems with your kid's life style." ”
"What's wrong with me?" Cú Chulainn was puzzled.
"Morrigan has appeared." Jiang Lu was concise and to the point.
Cú Chulainn's face changed suddenly.
The owner of this name has caused him a lot of trouble, and he is naturally no stranger to it.
"What is she here for? It's not trying to ruin our supplies, is it? ”
"I don't know what she wants to do, but she left when she saw you weren't there."
Jiang Lu opened his mouth and came:
"But she's hurt someone right under my nose, can I just let her go? So I chased after it. ”
"And then?" Cú Chulainn asked.
"Then she told me how you humiliated her, and abandoned her, saying that this is all your retribution, and it will come later, let me tell you to be careful, it is better not to be caught by her."
Jiang Lu spread his hands: "I pondered, this is a matter between you, I am not easy to mix with an outsider, plus she said that her magic will soon fail, and his life is not in danger, so I will come back." ”
"No, no, I didn't, it was all wishful thinking on her part." Cú Chulainn argued.
"Then I don't know." Jiang Lu behaved indifferently: "Anyway, you just have to know it in your own heart." ”
Cú Chulainn wanted to speak and stopped, this was originally a confused account, he thought about it, and he didn't know how to explain it at all, so he had to change the subject: "But why are you okay?" ”
Jiang Lu raised his eyebrows: "Are you talking about human words?" I poured out my heart and lungs for your people, and I chased after her to ask her to rescue that guy even though I knew she was dangerous, and you asked me why was it okay? You're not happy because you're here, right? ”
"That's not what I meant." Cú Chulainn knew that he was at a loss, and his momentum suddenly weakened.
Just as Jiang Lu was preparing to be unforgiving, thinking about saying a few more words, the Ulster soldiers who were cleaning the battlefield in the rear also escorted the prisoners back.
So Cú Chulainn immediately leaned over to avoid the topic of Morrigan.
Jiang Lu also accepted it when he saw it, and followed like a lively one.
As soon as he got closer, he saw the highest-ranking Connaught warrior among the captives, smiling at Cúchulainn.
And Cú Chulainn, seeing the man's appearance, seemed to think of something, and narrowed his eyes.
"Remember me, big hero?"
The man's words were tingling and full of contempt, as if he had some deep hatred for Cúchulainn.
"You're Edward, aren't you?" Cú Chulainn said the other man's name.
The man nodded, and said with a smile: "It's not bad, remember my name, it means that you still have some conscience." ”
"Don't say that, I can't forget you, but I was still studying art in the Land of Shadows at that time, otherwise I would"
"I don't need to explain, I knew I would lose, but I came anyway because I needed to deliver a message to you."
Edward interrupted Cúchulainn's explanation and took a deep breath:
"Your adoptive father, who held you in his arms when you were a child, Lord Fergus, who was betrayed by Ulster and slaughtered by Concierber, wants to see you."
Hearing this, Cúchulainn was struck by lightning.
"He wants to see me. Why? ”
"To end this war, of course, even though he is now Connaught's general, but for the sake of Ulster, who betrayed him."
Edward, not knowing whether to be sad or lamented, smiled a little bitterly:
"Lord Fergus is really weird, isn't he?"
Alster Palace.
"Really?"
Concierge gave a rare look of shock.
"Absolutely."
The Shadow Leader informed Concierge of everything he had witnessed:
"I saw with my own eyes that he unleashed a flame as holy and pure, as hot as the sun, and the light was so dazzling that even the midday sun could be.
And Morrigan, the goddess of death and destruction who caused so much trouble for Cúchulainn, was also humble and deferential to her.
I'm sure he must be Ruger, the god of light! ”
Bang!
The wine glass in Concierber's hand was crushed by him.
Seeing the shards pierce into his hands, blood gushing out, mixed with the spirits, filled him with a strange sense of brokenness.
The Shadow Leader was shocked and quickly treated his wounds.
But Concierber himself did not care about it in the slightest, and did not seem to feel the slightest pain, for his whole being was filled with grief and resentment.
"You still know to come back. Do you still know to come back? ”
"Even pretend you don't know me."
"You bastard!"
