Chapter 748: Conditions for Complicity
Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
For Edward today, a trace of divine power is not a rare object - Master Albert seems to know this very well, so the service time left for Edward by these hundred or so mages is only five days.
The reason given by the division is that for the renovation of their own mage tower, these high-level change mages can only free up this time, and even if the cost is high, there is no way to accommodate it. However, according to estimates, if the battleship wants to have basic combat effectiveness, it will have to build at least twenty or more large magic circles with more than thirty-six nodes inside.
This kind of large-scale magic circle, each node needs to be built by one person at the same time, channeling magic power, fusing materials, and it takes about eight hourglasses to build, and once the mental power is exhausted, it needs enough sleep to recover. More than 100 mages took five days, even if the materials were sufficient, at most they would build more than 20 magic circles, plus some auxiliary weapons, and it would not be a problem to deal with the demon's miscellaneous soldiers, but if they encountered more than three or five fire demons, or other elite people, the city's self-defense would not be enough.
Of course, this refers to the state of fully automatic defense.
But in fact, the defense of the ship also counts Edward's more than 100 Shadow Steel Golems, and if he wants, he can add the more than 100 mages in the territory, the more than 2,000 soldiers who hold the Aether Space Gate, plus the priest of Bellena, as well as the inventory of those magical items, and the thinker Katzerek...... With the help of these people, the improvement of the ship can be improved again in the deep sea.
For the time being, though, the Psychic Warlock doesn't intend to do that......
It's too complicated right now, gods. Demon. The Devil has actually laid out his own chess pieces in this big 6 game, and Edward is the weakest of many chess players. Or he has an invincible queen in hand. It seems to be on a rampage, but he is alone, and both gods and demons can easily find his trouble.
So he didn't want to give the other party so easy to notice the place where he had put in the time and effort to run it.
At the very least, you should wait until the battleship is completed before returning to the city, depending on the situation, whether you want to combine the city and the battleship to protect it......
Thinking about the big and small questions, Edward's brow suddenly furrowed, and in a slight turn of thought, a door to space had opened in front of him. He stepped over. His eyes just met a pair of ghostly figures in gray and white robes. Glancing at the only woman at the front of the line who was full of charm, the smug smile on the corner of the other party's lips made Edward snort softly, and his face sank like water.
"Miss Lansfield, I don't think you're allowed to wander around here, do I?"
"Ah, yes, but you didn't restrict me from moving around, did you? Not for a lady who should stay for a long time...... And it's not the right way to treat everyone together, right?"
Before he could say a word, Lansfil made no secret of the smugness on his face - the abilities that the Lord of the Nine Hells gave to these Imperial Elector Legions were quite special, and one of them was that they could break through the spatial barrier, which was different from ordinary astral boundaries. Rather, they each have a certain energy plane. The fire elemental plane of the Scarlet Knight, the ice elemental plane of the Ice Wind Demon Bear, and the withered white phoenix are the negative energy planes - the defensive circle in Edward's floating battleship has not yet been constructed in scale, so it is naturally difficult to stop the footsteps of these devil believers.
All the time, in the face of that young man of unknown origin. Lansfil can only be intimidated by the absolute power of the other party, no matter what means. were all suppressed to the death, and they were captured twice when they met, and their defeat was miserable. And now being able to come and go freely in the floating city of this powerful mage, the sorceress has finally regained a little face in her heart, so her smile has become sweeter, but before she can continue to speak, Ariel has already stepped into the void......
Lancefield's smile froze on his face.
The scorching gaze swept over the sculptural perfect features and the warm skin like cream, and the corresponding beautiful and ethereal expression made Lancefield's breathing gradually shorten, and it was not until she noticed the slightly slender and slender figure of the young girl under the plain white robe that the sorceress subconsciously straightened her plump chest.
But he couldn't hide the deep jealousy in his expression for the other party's perfect pride.
"You're just hitchhikers, not guests, and this isn't a place for you to hang out, remember, just once, not again. ”
The Psychic Warlock spoke in a cold voice, undisguised his disgust at this one-man farce, though it wouldn't have affected him too much so far - even if the guys had done their best to wreak havoc in the floatboat, Edward was confident that he could wipe them all out in an instant.
However, to put it bluntly, after all, it is my own secret.
The moment their eyes staggered, an indescribable sense of oppression fell head-on, making these members of the withered white phoenix feel heavy for a while, as if a huge stone was pressed on their chests! The sorceress only felt that her heart was beating faster and faster, and the cold sweat had soaked through her heavy clothes in an instant. Her throat began to dry, but she still stubbornly held her head high, testing the person in front of her with a proud gaze.
I have to say, this is an unwise move.
In the next moment, a warlock standing beside her suddenly snorted and staggered forward.
People turned their eyes in surprise and noticed a thin line of blood emerging from the center of his face, slowly extending as he moved, to the jaw, chest and abdomen...... Then there was a muffled sound, and a thin wave of blood erupted from the blood line, like a fluttering red silk.
In just a moment, the half of his body and the right half of his body were separated, and the blood was dripping, but perhaps this qiē was born too quickly, when the blood gushed out of the staggered body with internal organs, the left half of his body took a strange step forward, while the right half of his head twisted a little, as if he wanted to see what was hurting him, but in the end he just fell headlong!
The smell of blood then dissipated. There was silence in the passage, and the few withering warlocks who followed behind Lansfil turned pale. Subconsciously constricted his body and moved closer together, looking around in panic, trying to see what had separated the corpses of his companions.
Unfortunately, they got nothing.
Everyone's eyes finally turned to the half of the face under the Psychic Warlock's hood. The smile that twisted the corners of their mouths made them shudder - the actions of the person in front of them were ruthless and unspeakable, but they had already done it in a few words, and the shot was fatal.
sluggish between. The surrounding space has been quietly transformed. The tremendous force writhed the space out of thin air, throwing everyone back to the bottom warehouse where they were to be received, and falling to the ground!
"That ruthless little bastard!"
The pain of the buttocks hitting the ground almost made Lancefield's body numb, and it took her mouth to suck in the air for a long time before she finally regained her ability to speak, and she gritted her teeth and resented for a long time before she finally scolded, and then pushed away the support of several attendants around her. Rushing in front of Bane with a fierce momentum.
"Who is she?"
"What?"
The sudden questioning made the little marquis at a loss and at a loss, so the sorceress's voice raised a few points: "The woman next to that little bastard, the one in the white robe, who is she!"
"What a bunch of energetic guys. ”
Throwing a group of people back into the cabin on the ground floor, Edward clapped his hands: "Fortunately, I didn't have to worry about them for too long." ”
"You...... What are you going to ask them to do?"
Ariel spoke softly. Her gaze lingered on the place where the men had disappeared—the aura of the monsters belonging to hell still lingered in the place where a few of the withered white phoenix members had stood, and in the gaze of the Blazing Sky Divine Attendant, it was an ugly and distorted trace of darkness, making her frown as if she had smelled a fishy smell.
But what is even more fearful is undoubtedly the young man in the black robe.
Although he just stood there calmly. Even the magic net found around the body did not tremble in the slightest. But Ariel always seemed to intuitively feel it underneath the black burqa. It is not a human being, but a surging mass of energy, which is rolled up all the time and can affect the resonance of others' minds. The closer you get to him, the more dangerous it becomes, like walking on the edge of a deep, vast bottomless vortex.
"Cannon fodder, or do you want me to fight those demons myself?"
The whispered question made the psychic warlock's eyes turn slightly, and he glanced at the Blazing Heavenly Divine Attendant who was standing quietly behind him, and he did not hide the sarcasm on his expression: "Do you think that the devil's followers should not control the empire anymore? Actually, isn't it very simple? You celestial realm also create some special combat power for the empire, you don't need to be as capable as the believers of Asmodeus, even ordinary holy warriors and priests can do it? I guarantee that as soon as you open your mouth, the emperor of the empire will immediately change his evil ways and start using you celestial creatures." ”
"That's destroying the order of the world! How can we do that?"
"You see, you are like this, you want to drive away Pandoryan, you want the devil not to get the soul, and you want the heavens to not help, no dead or injured...... I said you, do you think this world is very much like a fairy tale? Just like the cat said, even if you are beautiful, you can't think too beautifully, otherwise, even if you are a prince, you will still lose your wife, and someone will make a hole in your body. ”
What is a cat? Sounds like some cunning devil king?
The sneer of the telemancer was mixed with strange comments, those incomprehensible words, which made Ariel's beautiful brow tangle more and more - perhaps this was the chaotic power of the ancient evil thing, which had completely penetrated the surface of his mind?
"The Devil's Covenant carries a secret curse that will slowly corrupt people's souls without even knowing it, and eventually become one of them. She spoke, though she knew that such an exhortation might no longer mean anything to the person in front of her. But I still subconsciously said it.
"Oh, so?"
Edward nodded. I opened another portal and stepped in:
"However, there is nothing wrong with that, becoming a devil means immortality, plus the power I control, the Lord of the Nine Prisons can at least give me a good status, and it is actually good to be above ten thousand people under one person, anyway, I don't like to meddle in those hegemony and the like. If there is something to do with subordinates, there is nothing to do...... Isn't it nice to chat and mess around?"
"That's the Fall! Your soul will eventually be polluted by the evil of the lower realms. Corrupt and be one of them!"
Once again, the Blazing Divine Servant was unable to suppress his anger. But before the Holy Flame could condense into a light feather, the human had already raised his hand,
"The ** of human beings is actually very simple, and the things they pursue are nothing more than a long life, a strong force, and the ability to control their own destiny...... Since being a devil can get all of this, then why shouldn't I pursue justice, kindness, I admit that those are all excellent qualities. But compared to life and destiny that are completely in their own hands, they are nothing more than disposable. ”
That's your answer?
Arieel's delicate lips opened slightly, but she didn't seem to be able to say a word.
"When you are a devil, you really have to beware of subordinates and deal with the tasks of your superiors, which is really troublesome. But what the woman said actually has a certain amount of truth - it is better to take the elevator directly than to be a mediocre person for a lifetime, and then fall into the Styx because of ungodly beliefs, right?
He turned his head and looked at Ariel's golden eyes, "Again." Do you think I could have become a devout believer if I didn't have the strength?
"Actually, I've always been a good talker, easy to talk and discuss, as long as it doesn't touch my bottom line, I can always listen......" Edward smiled softly: "Don't look incredulous. You haven't seen it, and that's only because you've never really had a good conversation with me. ”
"If you had been kind enough to persuade you. Give me some necessary benefits...... For example, if you give me a material reward, plus an immortal body, and some great power, I will surely be in the same league with you at that time. What a kingship, what Pandorian Ryan, I can't afford to stay away from this troublesome thing. ”
He suddenly smiled: "But how do you show it? If you take a shot, you will rob me, and you will kill me as a heretic, not to mention the price, I may not even have the right to live in your hands...... Do you think I'm a fool, or do you want me to do it?"
Ariel opened her mouth, as if to retort.
But in the end, she didn't make a sound, because she really couldn't find a reason to refute it.
In fact, there should be many reasons, but they are all inappropriate and have their own loopholes...... The reasons why Qiē can refute him should be based on his ability to understand justice and goodness, and to really want to fight for it.
But is he?
"Ah, don't you think I'm asking for too much?But what is Pandorian Ryan? an ancient evil that can destroy the mière multiverse! If you want to exchange this kind of thing, can you do it at an ordinary price?" Edward's tone was gentle as he walked slowly, as if he was just complaining about the bad weather or the food was not very palatable, but his voice gradually raised at the moment:
"You don't want to pay a small price...... Okay? What is the result? By now, I'm afraid the price you have paid has been several times more than this, right? How many high-level bodies are left in the Dawn Temple that can be used to descend? How many resources do you need to cultivate such a qualified and faithful high-level talent, and how much does it add up to give me an immortal body? I'm afraid it's ten times more, right?"
If the comparison is made now, this statement is indeed correct, and the identity of a chosen person can be exchanged for a catastrophe to eliminate the invisible, even if it is immortal, the gods will not be stingy in comparison. Who is the problem, could have imagined that that little mage apprentice would turn the whole big 6 upside down in such a short period of time?
"Can't you imagine it? Is it the first time you've been fighting with Pandorian Ryan? Don't you know his power? Or are you convinced that a local guy who comes out of the Western Frontier is destined to become stronger slowly? No, it's not that you didn't think of it, but you don't want to pay at all...... Tsk, Blazing Heavenly Apostle, Astral Apostle, what a powerful force? What a stinky fart? You are justice, you are the truth, those who disobey you are all chaotic parties, all are scum under the wheels of the chariot of light, and it is only natural that evil will be destroyed by you, without any cost. ”
: This is your logic, as long as you put on the name of saving the world, you can casually snatch what you want, what belongs to someone else? Don't be in a hurry to deny it, aren't you the one who made Elena into an Advent body? The most fucking bastard is that after doing such a thing, you can still put on a natural face and then give condescending orders...... Actually, you're thinking a lot of fakes, aren't you?"
Edward looked up, the corners of his lips quivering, as if he were laughing, but his voice was as sharp as a steel needle, nailed to Ariel's heart one by one:
"We are great, we are strong, ordinary human beings should serve us, and who are they to talk to us as messengers of great gods about conditions?"
"We are not ......"
"What is the result? What is the situation now? Now, I can't help Lao Tzu, and I put on a compassionate look, and I keep thinking about me?
