224. Sean's enemies
When Sean decided not to waste any more time, he led Heatley, Harding, and Cecilia towards the Black Water See.
Originally, this time he entered the wilderness, and Sean came to find the bones of the holy demon recorded in the demon hunting manuscript to purify the dark power in his body, so as to raise his strength to the top gold. After listening to Edward's words in King Lane, it was not a fluke or accident that he was able to directly break through to the lower gold, but it was the perception that he had after comparing the demon hunting manuscript that allowed him to break through the realm, and it was precisely because of this that he paid special attention to the few paragraphs written in the manuscript that he thought were a waste of space.
“…… The power of darkness devours the soul, but it can also strengthen the soul, which is a double-edged sword. After reaching a certain level of strength, the hunters of all ages had only two fates, either they were devoured by the power of darkness and became slaves of darkness, or they completely absorbed the power of darkness and turned it into a source of their own power. Only the few hunters who are lucky enough to get the bones of the Holy Demon will not be devoured when the power of darkness is completely attacked......"
“…… The power of darkness is a very violent force, and it is also somewhat destructive. This power, if used well, can be extremely powerful, and in many cases can even reverse certain near-death situations. Its power is extremely lethal not only to light-oriented creatures, but also to many dark creatures. But this power is not easy to master, and in the distant past, it was a good idea to use the bones of the Holy Demon to assist in control. ”
“…… The bones of the Holy Devil, no one knows their origin. However, according to research, it has been found that this material seems to have the effect of suppressing the two forces of light and darkness, and can even play an excellent neutralizing effect. Once upon a time, the Exorcists Association had a special cultivation room where a huge demon-suppressing array was drawn from bone powder ground from the bones of holy demons. At a time when exorcists were not yet in decline. This cultivation room has contributed a lot. ”
In words like this, a lot of space is taken up in that demon-hunting manuscript.
At first, Sean thought that these words were meaningless nonsense, because they had no effect on his cultivation at all. It was only after the battle with Edward that Sean noticed that these words had a very obvious keyword - the bones of the Holy Demon. Based on these words, Sean guessed that Edward must also be because the dark power in his body was too strong. He needed to be restrained, but he didn't know what could suppress the dark - or rather, Edward already knew. It's just that without this demon-hunting manuscript, he wouldn't have been able to find this kind of thing.
Because in the Demon Hunting Manuscript, there is a way to find the bones of the Holy Demon.
Sean also recorded this method and threw it to the Void Realm, where they were responsible for finding it. And the reason why a lot of people are invested here in the wilderness. It's purely because the Savage Land is one of the few well-preserved lands on the Miracle Continent that hasn't been extensively rectified.
Unexpectedly. It's really rewarding here.
So when he first decided to come to the Savage Land, in addition to coming to get the bones of the Holy Demon, Sean also had the task of preparing for breaking through to the Savage Land and negotiating with the Savage Council. However, these two "side quests" Sean didn't care too much, even if the former can't complete the Bronze Body quest here, it can be obtained from other places, and players don't have as much trouble as those NPCs if they want to break through to the Sanctuary realm - the implication is that it is much easier than the natives of this world; As for the deal with the Savage Council, success is a great joy. However, even if it fails, it doesn't matter, because William, Neil, and Hela, the Void Triumvirate, have already made relevant arrangements for these two situations. Whether the result is a success or a failure, it will not affect the future development plans of the Void Principality.
Therefore, Sean only regarded this trip to the Wild Lands as a rare travel adventure - which was actually a kind of rest for Sean. In the game, many players especially liked to choose a short or mid-course adventure trip as a relaxation after a busy time. In particular, many landscape parties and casual players are even more happy, after all, the Miracle Continent is too vast, and no one can rely on their feet to walk the entire continent after the game has been open for so long.
And since it's a trip, it's also a good way to cultivate talents by the way, so Sheena naturally became a member of the team.
At least, that's how it was before that.
But now, after knowing the deliberate fault finding fault on the side of Death Thorn, Sean didn't dare to go around so slowly anymore. After all, the combat power on Deaththorn's side is not trivial - at this time, Sean did not know that the Dark Prophet of Deaththorn had given up his plan to the Savage Lands, and he also thought that the Dark Prophets would let other members of Deaththorn turn to the Savage Lands to snipe him after knowing his existence.
In this way, the danger of the Wild Land naturally increases greatly.
Therefore, Sean had no choice but to let Sheena and Lancet return to the Void Principality first, and at the same time inform Sù Neil and William about the Death Thorn Society's affairs against the Void Principality, so that they could take precautions and recall Hela. However, in order to prevent Sheena and Lancet, two weak guys, from having an accident on the way back, Sean arranged for Rotikabas to accompany him, and of course he also had the intention of continuing to train Sheena.
Sean knows very well that his future enemies will be the Savage Council Tribe, the Millennium Covenant Empire, the Principality of Rumbell, the St. Joels Empire, and those enemies at the same level, and enemies below this level, even if they are qualified to be Sean's enemies now, they will be disqualified in the future. It is precisely because he has long been mentally prepared for this, so standing on the opposite side of Deaththorn, Sean is not surprised at all, he is just a little unhappy with the hatred that leads him to Deaththorn because of the Peace Council.
Among these enemies, some enemies may still have the possibility of negotiation, but some enemies have absolutely no possibility of coexistence.
Like the Savage Council tribes, if Sean succeeds in the negotiation this time, then there will definitely be many tribes willing to migrate. In this way, it will naturally break the power structure of the Savage Land, and it will also offend those hostile people who are willing to cooperate with the tribe because of the alliance. Of course, if it fails, then there is no way to talk about the so-called enemy. Unless the entire Savage Land is really succeeded in being countered by the Dead Thorns and forming a huge anti-continental alliance, all in all, there is actually a certain amount of negotiation.
Also negotiating, there is also the Millennium Covenant Empire. However, according to the assessment of Neil, William and Hela, the probability of success is only about fifteen percent, which means that the possibility of hostility is extremely high, after all, Sean's idea is to fight the large black soil land located in the rear of the Savage Land Millennium Covenant Zone. If the route of the Millennium Covenant area is not opened, even if Sean takes this large piece of land, it will become an enclave and an isolated island, and maybe the Millennium Covenant will take a fancy to this liberated land at that time. It turned out to be another uphill battle.
The existence of the Principality of Rumber and the Empire of St. Joels is completely free from the possibility of reconciliation.
Now the Grand Duke of the Duchy of Rumbert is the murderer of Cecilia's family, a blood feud that cannot be reconciled.
In the Miracle Continent. Blood feuds must be paid in blood. So today's Grand Duke of the Duchy of Lumber is in the same vein. In Sean's eyes, they are a bunch of dead people - although he didn't mention these things to Cecilia, but in Sean's heart, helping Cecilia get revenge is an inevitable thing.
As for the St. Joels Empire, in fact, strictly speaking, the position is quite delicate. Even if Cecilia becomes the new Grand Duke of Lember, the Saint Joles Empire will not care, and it can even be said that as long as she is willing to continue to be a vassal of the Saint Joels Empire, she may be able to get some support from the Saint Joles Empire. But in fact, the St. Joels Empire was the main culprit in the murder of Cecilia's parents. Therefore, there is naturally no possibility of negotiation between the two sides, even if Cecilia is willing to negotiate with the St. Joels Empire to use the power of the St. Joels Empire. Sean wouldn't agree either.
After all, with the geographical location of the Principality of Rumbuel, it is not only the St. Joels Empire that is willing to make a move, but the Maggie Empire is also very interested. It's just that in this way, Lunber still can't get out of the status of a vassal country, with Sean's character and desire as a player, it is naturally impossible for Lunber to remain just a "principality", and if he makes a move, he will definitely be upgraded to a kingdom.
Among these enemy forces, it seems that the weakest should be the Principality of Lunber, from the information heard from Clov, the powerhouse of the Principality of Rumbert was a high-ranking Sanctuary before, but in the coup event, this Sanctuary powerhouse seems to have been solved by a legendary powerhouse of the Saint Joels Empire. What is the level of the current powerhouse of the Principality of Lunbel, Sean can't be sure and has no information that he can obtain, but he must assume that the other party is still a powerhouse of the upper Sanctuary.
And under Sean's command, now counting Rena and Shefanio, there are a total of four Sacred Domain powerhouses, and these four people obviously can't be theorized in terms of general combat power, so as long as two of them can become median Sacred Domain powerhouses, like the Zhenguo powerhouses of the Principality of Lunbei, they will naturally not be opponents. However, the backstage of the Principality of Rembell is the Saint Joels Empire, as one of the five old empires, even if the number of legendary powerhouses is not as good as that of Deaththorn, I am afraid that the number will not be less than five, and there will inevitably be a super strong.
This is also because the social structure of the St. Joels Empire is different from other empires, and if it is an empire like the Millennium Covenant Empire, the number of legendary powerhouses is likely to be between ten and fifteen. After all, it is impossible for an empire to leave the construction and support of the aristocracy, and if you want to maintain the status and transcendence of a noble family in an empire, its strong combat power is the root of a qiē, and if there is no strong combat power, there is no way to talk about the interests of the family.
It's just that compared to the Saint Joles Empire, the Millennium Covenant Empire will not have too many super powers, and it is very likely that there will not even be one. Because according to the recent information on the situation on the mainland, the emperor of the Millennium Covenant Empire seems to be currently bloodbathing the diehards in the country, and more than seven legendary powerhouses have been implicated in the water, two have escaped with serious injuries, and three have died in battle. It is said that the countries around the Millennium Covenant Empire have become a little unstable, and even the Emilian Empire seems to have plans to start a national war.
However, Sean naturally doesn't need to pay attention to these things - or rather, he can't wait for the thousand-year Covenant empire to be dragged into the quagmire of war, so that he has more room to fish and use in troubled waters. Among these many enemies, the only ones he really cared about were the St. Joels Empire and the Duchy of Rumbert, which were far away in the southern continent.
Because no matter what Sean calculates in his head. Without the assistance of the Maggie Empire, he still couldn't find a place where he could compete with the strength of the Saint Joels Empire, not to mention that the Saint Joles Empire also had a pure white winged knights. The deterrent power of this ninth-level army is much greater than that of any legendary powerhouse. Because the average legendary powerhouse can only be beaten into a dog in front of him, the only army on the continent today that can fight against the pure white wings is the sacred puppet army of the Maggie Empire.
And in addition to this trouble, in the future, to open the way to the underground world, there will be several battles with those underground forces.
Compared to the surface world, those guys in the underground world are the real difficulties, and there are not a few partisans. Thereinto. There are many parties and even the kind of extreme terrorists who want to slaughter the entire surface of the human race, let these guys know that there is a passage between the underground world and the surface world, I am afraid that they will rush up like a pack of mad dogs. At that time, it will take a lot of effort just to hold this passage.
This also made Sean feel quite a headache.
Because he found that his enemies seemed to be becoming more and more numerous, and their combat power was not low.
And then soon. Sean remembered something else that he had forgotten for a long time.
Ice Church.
The deity of this church is a guy who has chosen the fragments of the godhead of the goddess of ice and winter to become a god. The main area of activity is further north of the northern continent. At present, the goddess of ice and snow and winter has not gone to trouble each other, just because she is not free for the time being, and once she has a free hand, then a divine war will definitely break out between these two gods. At that time, as a contract collaborator between Ice and Snow and the Goddess of Winter, Sean will definitely have to help on the material side as well.
The thought of this makes Sean want to die.
Because he found that his enemies were moving beyond the category of "humans". And when he thought of breaking away from the concept of "human beings", Sean thought of the strange laughter of the old lich Lake as he left. That made him very unhappy.
"Alas, it's a bumpy road." Sean sighed helplessly.
"What's wrong?" looked at Sean with a sad look on his face. Cecilia asked.
"Oh, I was just wondering if there was any way to quickly improve my strength in a short period of time." Sean smiled at Cecilia, and from his expression he couldn't tell how bitter Sean was, "But at the moment, it doesn't seem to be." ”
"Don't think about it so much, it's impossible to improve your strength even if you want to be fast, and those so-called quick Chengdu have great drawbacks, so let's take it slowly." Cecilia didn't know what Sean's worries were, she thought that Sean just wanted to improve her personal strength as much as possible, so she opened her mouth to persuade, "Besides, with your current strength, the powerhouses of the Golden Realm will not be your opponents, even if you are the powerhouses of the Sanctuary Realm, you are not without the strength to fight." ”
"It's just a subordinate sanctuary." Sean said softly.
"The lower sanctuary is also a sanctuary, okay?" Cecilia gave Sean a blank look, "Don't look down on the lower Sanctuary. ”
Sean chuckled and didn't say anything more on the subject. He knew very well that as long as he got the bones of the Holy Demon and did the task of the Bronze Body by the way, he could then work hard to impact the Holy Domain, and if he was lucky, he might be able to successfully step into the Holy Domain before the second half of next year. But even so, he still couldn't find a way to compete with those empires.
"It seems that I'm more suitable to be a god." Sean sighed inwardly, "It's just that a few guys dare to make this deal with me?" It's impossible to die, and it's good that the Peace Council can let them sit idly by, and it is estimated that when the time comes, I will really fight with Rumbert and St. Joels, and I will sell Deadthorn again. …… Then there doesn't seem to be much left to choose from......"
"What are you muttering?" Heatley looked at a Sean who was muttering something and said with some curiosity.
"Hmm, do you think it's better to deal with the devil or the devil?" Sean asked.
When Heatley heard Sean's words, she immediately showed a look of disgust and disgust.
"Why do you always have to deal with these inexplicable guys, isn't it good to deal with normal people?" Cecilia frowned similarly, "And theoretically, whether you're dealing with demons or devils, there's nothing good going on. …… If those madmen at the Peace Council had known, they would have dealt with you first. …… You are now on the Parliament's watchlist. ”
"I know." Sean smiled wryly, "It's not a joke. ”
"It's not funny at all." Heatley pouted, "I feel like I've been with you for so long, I'm about to forget who I am." ”
"Don't worry, the goddess of life won't abandon you." Sean reached out and rubbed Heatley's head, then chuckled.
However, at this moment, Harding suddenly reached out to stop Sean's steps, and Cecilia also directly expanded the field at this moment.
Sean was a little slower than the two of them to detect the enemy's approach—Sean had already noticed that the gap between himself and Harding and the others seemed to be slowly widening, especially as Hatting and Cecilia became more familiar with the power of the Sanctuary, and their perceptions became extremely acute.
Sean's gaze was on the enemy who had already stepped into Cecilia's realm.
Ghost Sword. Demon Boy. (To be continued......)
