The King Chapter 398

  Chapter 398 Unfavorable fleeting years

   Misty sea area.

   "Jerachic, the situation is not good! Just now the fire elements fluctuated violently, and the loud noise seemed to be someone releasing a forbidden spell.

   Judging from the direction of the sound, the battlefield is not far from us. This is the sphere of influence of the Alpha Kingdom, I am afraid that most of the people who do it are enemies rather than friends! "

  Bishop Josip said worriedly.

  From his tone, it is not difficult to hear his resentment towards the Alpha Kingdom. If the relationship between the two parties was not too bad, they would not have sneaked over under the cover of pirates.

   "Don't worry, you can tell from the sound that the forbidden spell just now is quite powerful. I'm afraid that even the most powerful people in the sanctuary will not be able to release it.

   Such a strong man may not be found in the whole continent. If the Alpha Kingdom has this kind of background, it will be revealed when the orcs invade.

   It is reckoned that by gathering all the fire magicians from across the country, with the help of the power of the magic circle, they may be able to release this level of forbidden spells.

  But we all know that the magic circle has never been better with as many people as possible. There are too many magicians gathered, how can the magicians in the main formation have such strong mental power control?

  Maybe a certain lich or demon provoked a Sanctuary Warcraft, triggering a big battle. However, it is really rare to see a fire-type sanctuary monster appearing in the sea! "

   As soon as Jelacic finished speaking, he realized something was wrong. The strong humans of the Alpha Kingdom are unable to release the forbidden spell alone, but it does not mean that there are no strong people of this level.

   The two met each other for a glance, and they both became suspicious of Hudson. There is no way, as the fourth dragon knight in the mainland, he is like a bright light in the dark night, there is no place to hide even if he wants to.

   As long as the fire-type monsters are not mentally ill, they will not look for excitement to run to the sea. The only exception is the giant dragon. The God of Creation favored this species too much, allowing them to swim freely by land, sea and air.

   "The next mission seems to be careful. If the dragon knight is involved, we may not be able to escape unscathed.

   This is the home of other people after all, and no one knows more about the waters of Dulong Island than those gangsters.

  It's a pity that the Alphas are too hostile to us, otherwise with their cooperation, this operation is really safe! "

   Bishop Yosip said with a sigh.

  A single dragon knight, their team might be able to handle it. But since the enemy came to the door, there was no reason to come over alone.

  Anyway, they are now posing as pirates. Even if the Alpha Kingdom wiped them all out as pirates, the Holy See would not be able to say anything.

   "Complete the task first! If someone hadn't brought out the relic of that wicked beast from Dulong Island, we wouldn't even know that guy died here.

   After finding the holy sword of light and the scepter of glory, with the blessing of the artifact, you and I can also exert the power of the sanctuary.

   If we really meet Hudson, we can't beat the dragon, and can't we beat his crispy knight?

  Of course, it is best to be able to avoid unnecessary complications. After completing the task, wait and see for a few days before going out.

  The situation in the Northern Continental War is so severe, and Hudson is still waiting to preside over the overall situation. He can't be here all the time. "

   Jelacic said viciously.

  Who would have imagined that two of the three artifacts symbolizing theocracy, the holy crown, the holy sword of light, and the scepter of glory, were left outside, and the ones on the holy mountain were only Xibei goods?

   It involved a dark history of the Holy See, and everyone kept silent. Except for the high-level officials of the Holy See, the rest of the insiders were silenced.

  The message can be blocked, but the artifact must be retrieved. The treasure personally bestowed by the Lord of Dawn was not only an artifact, but also a symbol of orthodoxy.

  In order to retrieve the artifact, the Holy See has been tracking it down to the present. A lot of clues were collected along the way, but nothing was found.

  Including this operation, it was also a dead horse as a living horse doctor. No one can tell whether the artifact is on Dulong Island or not.

  But for the Holy See, even if there is only a chance, it must be tried.

   Otherwise, one day the situation on the mainland will change, and countries will find out that the artifacts in their hands are counterfeit products, which will definitely cause a big mess.

   Man Beard, who secretly heard the conversation between the two, was already pale with fright. Under normal circumstances, to discuss such highly confidential news, at least one magic barrier must be released!

  The ship has such a large area, and it is inevitable for people to come and go. They didn't even bother to do the most basic taboo, and there was only one explanation - they were sure they could keep the secret.

  Is there anything in this world who can keep secrets better than the dead?

   Maybe not just death, even the soul will be destroyed together, completely cutting off the possibility of leaking secrets.

  Even though he had already guessed in his heart that the Holy See would silence him, he was really sure, Man Beard still had a sad face.

  If there is an opportunity for other treasures, he may take the opportunity to get them as capital for his own recovery.

  An artifact symbolizing the orthodoxy of the Holy See, such a hot potato, even if it was given to him, a man with a beard would not dare to touch it.

   If he is touched by this thing, even if he 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 is useless to accept the nomination certificate, his weight is not enough to make everyone and the Holy See turn against each other.

  Back on the ship, Hudson hid in the cabin to study the captured ghost on the grounds of replenishing his magic power.

  The casualties of the Dalton family have nothing to do with him. If it weren't for his Master Hudson's efforts to turn the tide, the Dalton family would have been seriously injured this time.

  With the loss of this main fleet, their maritime trade will definitely be affected. Without this most important income, it is not surprising that they will turn from prosperity to decline.

  If it weren't for the time of the Continental War, Hudson would still need a good reputation to accumulate more political capital for himself, and they would definitely not be able to escape this wave.

   "Ah Piao, if you don't want to die, just sign the contract!"

   While speaking, Hudson fiddled with a soul contract directly on the parchment. It doesn't take too much effort to deal with this kind of third-order ghost.

   It was originally an attempt. It would be best if the soul contract could control these ghosts, but it doesn't matter if it can't.

   "What are you doing in a daze, you idiots, are you calling you? Hurry up and sign the contract!"

  The fanboy version of Maxim followed suit and shouted.

  Following Master Hudson, although he didn't go hungry for nine meals in three days, his status was really not that high.

   It's okay to pretend to be aggressive in front of outsiders, but when you get to your own home, you are often bullied by bears.

  Suddenly complaining can't afford to lose face, bickering is completely abused, and "friendly discussion" can't take advantage of it, Maxim really can't stand up.

  In order to change his position at the bottom, it is imperative to recruit more younger brothers. These ghosts are very good, and they look easy to bully.

   If he is disobedient, he can slap him to death with one paw. These guys would never dare to **** in front of Uncle Long.

  In fact, along with the rapid growth of Maxim's strength, private discussions between dragons and bears have rarely happened recently.

   To be able to suppress Maxim in the front, apart from the strong talent of the Earth Bear itself, the most important thing is that Bear Stearns has a higher level of cultivation.

  Bloodline talents are sent to sanctuary, which is essentially just a process of power accumulation. Simply taking in more energy that can be digested can speed up the process.

  Bear Stearns' growth was naturally fast, but after the blood talent was digested, the next comprehension of the rules was not just a matter of energy.

  Seeing that Maxim's strength has quickly caught up, and his own strength has reached its limit, Bear Stearns is naturally unwilling to continue to "discuss".

  The power of the giant dragon is all-round, but the bear of the earth is partial. For dragons and bears of the same level of cultivation, unless they can take advantage of fighting on the ground, he can't beat the dragon in other places.

  If it wasn't for Maxim's lack of experience, he would not have been tortured so badly if he competed with Bear Stearns on the ground every time.

   Maxim, who didn't know that he could turn himself into a serf and sing, is almost suffering from bear phobia, and continues to drag people into the bottom of the water.

   "Necromancer!"

  A knowledgeable ghost said in panic.

   Immediately afterwards, the captured ghosts all trembled. Tossing the soul and body, necromancers are professional.

   If it falls into the hands of other people, the worst thing is to die. Anyway, it can be resurrected on the ship later.

   Meeting a necromancer is different, death is a luxury. Fear awakened some of their remaining memories during their lifetime, and every ghost was terrified.

   "Since you know about necromancers, it seems that you are not too stupid. Either sign the contract on your own initiative, or we will talk about this issue after a hundred years of soul refining."

   Hudson threatened with a half-smile.

  The identity of the necromancer cannot be revealed, but if the insider is a group of ghosts, then it doesn't matter.

  Even if they want to leak the news, there is no place to report it. As dark creatures that everyone shouts and beats, no one will listen to their nonsense.

   "My lord, we..."

   Before the ghost finished speaking, the fire of the soul was already burning. Under the unbearable pain, the unlucky ghost decisively left a mark on the contract.

  After the establishment of the master-servant contract, Hudson, who was shouting and screaming, changed his face in an instant. The burning soul fire not only heard it, but also a pure force of darkness gushed out to repair the broken soul body for the ghost.

  The ghosts who were still hesitant at first signed the contract in a hurry. They all turned into their own ghosts, and the tense atmosphere in the room suddenly disappeared.

  Feeling the connection between the two, Hudson can be sure that if these ghosts are killed with the power of the contract at this moment, even the ghost ship will not be able to revive them.

   "Okay, let's talk about the ghost ship! Don't tell me, you don't know anything."

   Hudson asked with a smile.

   Plain questioning, falling into the eyes of ghosts is endless terror. They did not forget the scene that burned their souls just now.

   "Master, we don't know how the ghost ship was born.

  In memory, we followed the captain to rob merchants from the beginning, growing up from ordinary people to the present.

  We didn't even know we were dead until we met you. The daily living habits are not much different from ordinary people.

  Especially during the days on board, our memory seems to be affected, deliberately forgetting the passage of time.

  By the way, we can sense the location of the ghost ship. If you want to find them, we can lead the way. "

  The ghost who had suffered so much hurriedly replied.

  Unfortunately, in these news, apart from the value of finding the location of the ghost ship, Hudson is not concerned about the rest.

  The origins and weaknesses of the ghost ship are not introduced at all. They don't even remember their identities before they were alive.

  As for the strength of the ghost ship, there is no need to introduce it at all. Hudson, who had fought once, knew better than themselves.

   Knowing the location of the ghost ship, Hudson did not rush to take action.

  The slave contract is not omnipotent. Although ghosts can be forcibly enslaved, their spiritual power must be overwhelmed by these guys.

  His spiritual power is indeed good, but at most he can forcibly enslave a few ghosts of the same realm, and if there are more, he will face backlash.

   Wanting to control the ghost and then control the ghost ship, it seems that it will not work now.

   After hesitating for a moment, Hudson suddenly slapped his head. It's unrealistic to forcibly enslave the three ghost kings with my own mental power, but it would be different if it was replaced by Bear Stearns and Maxim.

   As a strong man in the sanctuary, it is not a big problem to suppress three ghosts whose strength is lower than his own.

   They are all their own people, and it doesn't matter who controls the ghost ship. Anyway, these powers are invisible and can only be used in secret.

  Hudson believes that he is not the first person to call attention to the ghost ship, and he will not be the last. Who doesn't have the strength to do dirty work among those big forces that have inherited the ancients!

   While thinking about it, the ship suddenly shook violently, and Hudson immediately thought of "Storm at Sea".

  The current season is not a period of high incidence of storms, but it is possible for any unreasonable natural phenomenon to occur on the vast sea.

  The laws summed up by human beings are only suitable for most of the time. Encountered sudden extreme weather, it can only blame their bad luck.

  As soon as he stepped out of the ship, Hudson saw a sailor climbing the mast thrown into the sea, and was about to be swallowed by the sea. In the end, he instructed Maxim to pull him back.

   However, the lucky ones who happen to be seen by Hudson are only a minority after all. Most of the unlucky ones ended their lives as soon as they fell into the sea.

  The master on board reacted very quickly, and soon someone jumped up and forcibly lowered the sail.

  The shaking intensity of the ship has been slightly reduced, but under the baptism of wind and waves, it can only drift with the current.

  A good fleet, abruptly pulled away by the wind and waves. Two of the small warships were directly overturned by the waves because they were a step slower in reacting.

  As the fleet commander, Byron had a gloomy and terrifying face. The proper start was unfavorable, and the enemy's shadow was not even touched, so he suffered a series of blows.

  First encountered a ghost ship attack, and then encountered a sea storm, this luck does not know how to complain.

   Seeing being forced forward by the wind and waves, Hudson could only shake his head secretly. In the face of the mighty power of nature, human beings are still too small.

  It is not impossible to use magic to forcibly control the ship, but if you fight against the wind and waves in this way, the damage to the ship's hull will be very large, and it may directly cause the ship to fall apart.

  Essentially, these ships are still wooden sail warships. Even if the magic circle is blessed, it does not have the ability to confront the wind and waves head-on.

   Glancing at Viscount Kayo in front of him, Hudson didn't speak. This guy didn't help command the fleet, and ran to hang around him, obviously a little clever ghost.

  In case the wind and waves continue to expand and swallow the entire fleet, it is undoubtedly the safest to follow Hudson.

   Regardless of how severe the natural disaster is, the survival rate of the Dragon Knight is guaranteed. Even if it ran to the center of the storm and wandered around, the dragon could still retreat completely.

   "Lord Earl, the current wind and waves are so strong that the fleet can only drift with the wind. Maybe the fog in our poisonous dragon sea area will be blown away.

   Do you think it is better for us to evacuate, or continue to search for pirates? "

  Cayoteau said almost.

  This topic does not have much discussion value. You have come, how can you return empty-handed?

   "With such a good opportunity, I naturally went to see the Dulong Island. Not everyone has the opportunity to see the legendary place.

   As for the pirates, I don't think their situation will be much better than ours. Especially those four-faced warships transformed from merchant ships, the current situation will only be worse.

   If you don't meet them, they deserve their lives; if you meet them, you can deal with them. "

   Hudson said calmly.

  Frankly speaking, at this moment he is really interested in Dulong Island. Without the fog blocking the view, the greatest danger is gone.

  The dangers on the island, and the cannon fodder of the Dalton family are available. He, Lord Hudson, will not be in danger until the fleet is dead.

   "Island!"

   "There is an island ahead!"

  Hearing the cheers from his subordinates, Man Beard was about to be blown up, but he couldn't help cheering on his face.

  This sea area is a poisonous dragon island, and the island in front of them is obviously the destination of their trip.

  He was directly brought to the terminal by the wind and waves, how could he play with it?

   "Send the order to let the fleet approach the island!"

  Man Beard ordered bravely.

  People from the Holy See watched from the sidelines and cheered a few times, no one would feel that something was wrong. If they refused to dock uncharacteristically, it would immediately arouse the suspicion of the Holy See and his party.

  Deep in his heart, Manbeard can only hope that the fleet of the Dalton family will arrive sooner. Otherwise, once the task is completed, it will be the end of this pirate team.
