Invade the white dove

Once a person has doubts about something, the seed will quickly take root and sprout in the dark, and the roots of doubt are deeply rooted in the heart, absorbing all the nutrients in the blood vessels, making the brain unable to think about other things.

Julis clearly remembered that if the protoss disappeared, the world's memory of him would be completely erased, but at this moment, not only Possel, but even Esper could remember Sotiria, so this is by no means conjecture.

Sotiria has not disappeared, absolutely not!

Just when Julius wanted to dive into the sea of ​​immortality to ask Possel clearly, the crying ghosts around him suddenly stopped, and the sea fog quickly gathered, covering the surroundings in gray shadows, and in this eerie silence, Here, at the end of the southern coastline, a huge mountain-like black monster approached silently.

"Papa, be careful, my friends in the sea told me that someone is coming!" Esper quickly hugged Julis' neck and whispered.

The monster in the shadow was moving forward at a constant speed, and above the shadow, where the head of the monster suddenly lit up, two balls of flames appeared and disappeared in the wind and waves.Julius carefully carried Esper behind his back, and the blue-purple magic mask completely enveloped them, guarding against unknown dangers.

Until, Julius heard the monster let out a low, whimpering whine.

ferry?

As the giant beast got closer to them, Julis could indeed distinguish the ups and downs of the human voice from the sound of the waves, as well as the faint music that was blown away by the wind.

"...the roar of the lion roars over the Red Sea...roses and wine..."

Familiar melody, unfamiliar lyrics, goosebumps crawled up my scalp when I realized that the song the sailors were humming was very similar to "Stanley's Song".

Even just imagining being stared at by Razel's eyes that are two or three points similar to Kyle, Julius couldn't help shaking with nausea, just like watching Thoth's "God Envoy" and Razel During the coronation ceremony that Black had painstakingly arranged, the whole body's blood rushed to his throat, as if if he didn't run away immediately, every inch of skin and every bone would be immediately corroded by the disgusting smell.

But this time, he did not choose to escape.

Taking one last look at the location of the Sea of ​​Immortality, Julius took a deep breath, used magic to conjure two black cloaks to cover himself and Esper, and then lit the old clothes of the bones on the reef, facing the rapidly approaching ship. His giant ship cried out for help.

Although the sea fog was thick, Julius could still see clearly that it was a typical Gaman-style large sailing ship. The gilded lion statue on the bow bared its teeth and danced its claws, roaring to break through the sea fog. Like the elbow shoes that clowns often wear.The three masts stand tall, and the sails, soaked black in the black dye vat, are blowing in the wind.

The only difference is the four-winged lion pattern embroidered on the sails. The wings spread out on the lion's back are outlined with silver silk representing holiness.

After discovering the fire ignited by Ulis, the speed of the sailboat slowed down significantly. Ulis listened to the uniform whistle of the sailors, and the giant ship beautifully drew an arc on the sea surface, precisely approaching the reef one step The distance came to a sudden stop.

There is no doubt that this is an enchanted sailing ship.

A bamboo basket tied with a cable was thrown down. Julis picked up Esper and stood on it. Two sailors with reddened skin shouted slogans and dragged one big and one small up.

"Hey, lost traveler, why did you appear in this ominous sea with a little one?"

Before Julis could stand on his feet, several shiny long swords formed a circle around his neck.

It should be the captain who asked the question, a middle-aged man in his 30s with an eye patch on his right eye, long brown hair braided into thin braids, covered by a shiny black tricorne hat.The captain holds an ivory pipe in his left hand and a black oak cane in his right. When speaking, his upper lip is raised, revealing his golden canine teeth.

But even if the captain deliberately imitated his unrestrained appearance, Julius still saw a bit of the resoluteness of the Garman soldiers from his straight back and tight forearm muscles.

Julius' eyes quickly swept across the other people on board, who were also dressed similarly to the captain, with swords, and smelled like seafood mixed with rum, but their eyes flickered from time to time.

He was already certain that this was a small squadron of 30 Garman soldiers who had escaped from the battlefield disguised as pirates.

Sea God once said that in the past four years, all countries have used faith as their banner, but they have been doing things that clearly violate the teachings of the "Australian God". The spokesperson of the country and the rulers of the mainland are questioned.

But these sober people are weak after all, and they have no chance of winning against a powerful empire like Garman.After the initial resistance failed, they gradually hid in the dark, disguised as pirates or rogues, attacking villages and occupying warships at such a small pace, slowly but forcefully eroding the power of the "Australian Empire" .

The group of people in front of them not only had exactly the same clothes as the pirates, but even their behavior, if they didn't distinguish carefully, they could easily be confused.If it hadn't been for Julis who had spent several months with Gaman's soldiers day and night, knowing that Gaman's soldiers would never change the habit of twisting their wrists in their souls at this moment-Gaman's saber used to be a scimitar, possessed like Stanislav's cold moon Therefore, when swinging the knife, the wrist often has to be hooked back in order to deal a fatal blow to the enemy-he couldn't recognize these people at the first time.

After figuring this out, Julius's brain raced.

If they were indeed the so-called "resistance alliance", then if Julius claimed to be a commoner, he would be escorted to the nearest town and guarded strictly.With Julis' current strength, although he would not be afraid of these ordinary humans, Esper was by his side. He had already decided when he regarded Esper as a goddaughter that he would never let the baby come into contact with death and violence prematurely.

Then you can only do the opposite——

"I am a nobleman of Garman." Julius whispered with Garman's superior accent, "I hired a boat to visit the unknown sea, so that the painter can create more paintings, Unexpectedly, a strong wind suddenly blew up, and my ship hit the rocks and sank. And I, thanks to the blessing of the God of God, was finally not dragged into hell together with my servants."

Regarding the status quo of the so-called "Australian Empire", Julius more or less pieced together some fragments from the stories Sotiria told his daughter: Raphael Black restored Gaman's aristocratic enfeoffment system after his succession, those who The echoers who had been hostages in the palace finally looked forward to their territory. There were hundreds of nobles, large and small. Even Raphael himself could not recognize them all.

What's more, according to Sea God, the Resistance Alliance seems to have developed into a strange bottleneck period. The Empire cannot destroy them, and the Resistance Alliance cannot expand its own power. The balance is in an impossible balance state, and both sides are eager to break In this embarrassing situation, if an "imperial nobleman" is captured by the resistance alliance as a hostage at this time, it is very likely that he will be directly brought back to the alliance.

And for Yulis, if he wanted to restore this continent, he needed to meet this leader.

Sure enough, after Julis said these words in Gaman's accent, all the "pirates" looked at each other, especially when they heard Ulis constantly chanting the Olympiad, their faces became even more ugly.At this moment, the captain staggered and stood upright, nodded with his right hand, and the saber around Julius' neck suddenly retreated in unison.

"This sea area was blocked two years ago. There are too many nobles who gave their lives to the reefs because of curiosity. Even if you pay three times the price to hire sailors, there is no fool willing to Don't die for money..."

"Heh." Julis sneered, spread his right hand, and a bright white fire dragon roared, burning the captain's hat to ashes.Then, under everyone's surprised eyes, he snapped his fingers again, and took out a hat that was exactly the same as the three-cornered hat from the flames, and put it on the captain's head, "Mr. Captain, do you still doubt my identity? "

The sea wind whimpered and blew south. The sail that was still swaying just now was rolled up on the mast for a moment, but it was quickly blown by the reverse wind again.The sailboat was like a sleeping dragon, roaring and heading southward at high speed. Everyone was blinded by the sudden gust of wind, but the hood covering the heads of Julius and Esper seemed to be pressed by a pair of gentle hands. Live, never blown over.

As expected of well-trained Garman soldiers, the moment the sailboat swayed from side to side, the sailors had already stabilized their bodies and put their right hands on the hilts of their swords.The cloaked young man with the milk baby on his back stood face to face with twenty strong men, forming a confrontation that was not evenly matched.

Although Yulis was not worried that he would lose, he still had a drum in his heart.He originally only wanted to ignite a cluster of sparks, but he didn't want the magic possessed by this body to be too powerful. Who would have thought that he could easily condense a magic fire dragon with only one percent of his power?

If these resistance alliance soldiers regard themselves as magicians——in the past few years, under the instigation of Thoth, Razel has "hunted" magicians wantonly for Thoth to absorb magic power.Some magicians are desperate and will turn to the alliance for help. However, although Abel, the leader of the alliance, chooses to accept the magicians on the surface, he will kill these people secretly in the end to avoid being swallowed by Thoth.Therefore, people like magicians are in the most embarrassing position in the current Black Zee Continent. No one wants them to live-if these "crew" want to kill him, then he can only beat these humans to the ground.

After a moment of silence, the captain coughed lightly, and gave Julis a non-standard gentleman's salute on the shaky deck.

I saw the captain put the pipe in his hand, clenched his fist with his right hand, and put it on his chest: "My lord, please forgive our rudeness. You are obviously the most trusted nobleman of His Majesty for being able to use the fire of burning the world. Before sending it to His Majesty, we will definitely try our best to meet your needs..."

"Boss, we..." Standing behind the captain, a two-meter-long bearded man shouted, his voice was buzzing, and Esper, who was on Julis's back, also jumped.

"Don't talk nonsense, you don't even listen to my order?" The captain waved his hand and slapped the bearded sailor's cap, tilted his chin, and pointed at the people who had drawn their long swords halfway, "You don't want to die. Dare to show your sword in front of the nobles who have been personally blessed by the envoy of Thoth, do you want to spend the rest of your life with the twisted rope? Hurry up and work!"

As if they had received some kind of signal, the sailors who were stunned in place immediately started to move around, pulling the anchor, raising the sails, and turning. The whole set of movements was smooth and smooth, which was exactly the same as Gaman's navy in Julis' impression.

Julis, who was already ready to be twisted and thrown into the cellar by the sailors, was taken aback when he saw the captain's sudden change.

"My lord, don't blame me. You also know that His Majesty and the envoys have been hunting for magicians all over the country these past few years. Those young people didn't know anything about it. They thought you were one of them and wanted to arrest you and present you to His Majesty... ..." the captain laughed.

Julis nodded, and the captain took a few steps closer, as if he wanted to see the face covered by the cloak clearly.But Julis then strode back, keeping a fixed distance of two meters from the person in front of him.

The captain did not show too much disappointment. He took a deep puff of the cigarette with the cigarette holder in his mouth, and exclaimed while puffing out the circles under his eyes: "My lord, our brother has been wandering at sea all his life, and the greatest wish is to see His Majesty the Emperor. You bring it before His Majesty, I wonder if you can let us..."

While the captain was laughing and saying some innocuous flattery, Julis finally heard the captain's real purpose: perhaps these rebels really regarded him as a popular person around Razel, and wanted to use him Chances of sending back Stanislas close to, and even assassinate, Razel.

This captain must have a high status in the resistance alliance, and he is a commander who can make decisions without reporting.

It is even very likely that it is Abel, the leader of the Rebellion Alliance.

If so, all the better.

To be honest, although he has decided to use Esper's power to eliminate black magic on the entire continent, it is not difficult, what is difficult is what happens after that.

People whose beliefs have collapsed will urgently need a leader who can fish them out of the mud, and Julius does not think he is capable enough to take on this role.A qualified leader should put the interests of all the people before his own power. He should be decisive. He should be the spiritual pillar of everyone. In his world, the ego must always come first. two.

And this is not suitable for Julius who only wants to get back Sotiria and let his daughter have a happy childhood.

If the captain is really the leader of the alliance, then Julius was just able to learn more about the leader of the alliance during this short journey. If this man named Abel is the one that this continent needs most now Man, Julius will lend a hand to the league when necessary.

But of course it starts with purifying Razel Black from the black magic.

"Enough." Ulis interrupted him, "Thanks to your appearance, my daughter and I were rescued. Don't be nervous. Although I am a nobleman, I don't need much ostentation at sea. Give me and me Daughter, prepare a cabin with a window, and I will try to ask your majesty for a reward when I reach Staney. Now, go and prepare a decent meal, preferably with cheese and wine, we have been hungry for too long, It could have eaten a cow!"

While talking, Julis pointed to the sailor at the helm: "You, get the hell out of here, the direction of the rudder is all wrong."

The helmsman froze for a moment, and reluctantly let go. The untouched rudder turned 180 degrees for half a circle, and the sailboat also turned around in place with a loud rattle, and turned south again.

Yulis nodded his beard again with his finger: "You smell like butter, you can cook, and you will be in charge of my daughter and I's diet."

The bearded man glanced at the captain, and after seeing the gesture in his eyes, he reluctantly got into the cabin.

Julius ordered a few more people, and the sailors who received the order echoed back and forth. For a while, the deck was full of sailors running back and forth: those who yelled and cleaned up the house, those who tinkled to prepare food, and After the bald first officer found out that the ship didn't need to worry about anything else and was "gloriously" unemployed, he sat on the steps leading to the captain's cabin, playing the accordion to himself, and making ugly songs from time to time.

However, amidst the bustling noise and footsteps, the captain asked inexplicably, "Uh, sir, you said... you're going to Stanislav to find Razel... Your Majesty?"

Julius nodded: "What's the problem?"

The captain had a pipe in his mouth, and suddenly gave him a strange look: "You know, every year on May Day, the kings of various countries will temporarily put down the guys who fight, and are called by the patriarch to go to the sanctuary to listen to the 'Holy Word', which lasts for eight weeks. That's why May and June are also called 'Peace Months.' Razel... His Majesty's ship has been sailing for a month."

Julius lowered his eyes.

"Speaking of which, in previous years, His Majesty would also summon the most trusted nobles around him to the king's ship and head to the Tyr Icefield together. Why..."

"Stupid Papa still wants to drink!" Esper, who had been silent all this time, suddenly patted the top of Julis's head with her small meaty hand, "If Papa didn't get drunk and pissed off His Majesty, His Majesty would not have left us here. You I still want to sneak up and catch up. If there are no uncles, I'm afraid Papa and the baby will be washed away by the water!"

Yulis covered the top of his head with his hands helplessly: "Baby, I feel ashamed if you do this..."

"Hit, hit!" Esper clenched her small fist and tapped Julis's head lightly, then looked at the captain who had been staring at them with a probing look, "Uncle, don't give him wine, he will madly!"

Esper is born with a chubby round face, and when she looks at people with beautiful violet eyes, even the most hard-hearted people will be melted by her, and the captain is no exception.

After hearing the baby's infantile reproach, the captain grinned: "Master, if you want to catch up with Razel...Your Majesty, the bow of the ship must face north."
