Chapter 489: The Ghost Ship (Part II)
ใFirst Updateใ
"What is this?" Salin was a little jealous of the huge eyes in the sky, and immediately asked Nicholas when he said that he knew the root of this thing.
"Lord...... Let's get the boat faster!" Nicholas couldn't help but cry out as he saw the huge eye getting closer and closer in the magical image.
"Rest assured. "Salin is very calm, this giant eye feels very powerful to himself, but the attack method is somewhat single, it is fatal to low-level and middle-level professionals, and for ninth-level powerhouses, it can only be regarded as a relatively big threat. Once out of water, the Dragonwreck Battleship doubles its speed.
Nicholas pursed his lips, he felt his throat dry, not from fear, but from nervousness. After following Salin, for the first period of time, Salin did not use him heavily, and he tried to avoid contact with the front-line battles, so as not to run into people in the Holy See.
And now, he followed Saleen to the waters of Scochenia, encountered the monsters created by the Holy See, and came into contact with the secret power of the Holy See. He was no longer afraid, this nervousness was because of excitement. The re-refined Fallen Scepter allowed Nicholas to touch the power of a higher rank and feel that his future was bright.
Brighter than the path of the Lord of Light.
"More than 200 years ago, when Pope Colin II was in charge, the relationship between the Cardinal and the Inquisition was quite harmonious. The two sides worked together on a plan to secretly create a weapon using prisoners held in the black jails of the Inquisition. When Colin II ascended to the kingdom of heaven, the next pope clashed with the Inquisition, and the plan was terminated. The Inquisition changed the plan and intended to do it alone, and in the Inquisition, the plan was codenamed the Eye of the Storm. โ
"Is this it?" Salin asked Nicholas, pointing to the huge eyes in the magical image.
"It should be that, I have some time to dispose of expired files for the Holy See and destroy them. This kind of thing is done by people who are not taken seriously......" Nicholas said this, still unable to help but show a trace of bitterness. "Well, I was young and curious, so I stole a few things and learned about the Eye of the Storm's plan. Because of this, the Pope at that time also issued a special law prohibiting the Inquisition from carrying out this experiment, and since then, the Inquisition has gradually distanced itself from the Cardinals. โ
Saleen unexpectedly heard a secret from the Holy See, and Nicholas continued: "The Inquisition should have ignored the Pope's order, and the Inquisition had six presiding inquisitors at that time, and each of them was powerful...... are stronger than you. Nicholas was afraid that Saleen would be depressed, so he used an honorific, and Saleen didn't take it to heart, although he had repeatedly had adventures, but most of his combat effectiveness depended on equipment, and the strength that Nicholas said was only the ability of the referee himself, not with the help of external objects.
"The plan of the eye of the storm is aimed at Yunliu, and the Inquisition has always been under pressure from the Yunliu Empire. If it weren't for the Black Prison Island at sea, Yunliu's fleet would have regularly harassed the shores of the Tangulas Empire. Even so, the Tangulas Empire was heavily defended, erecting a large number of fortifications in important places along the coast. โ
Nicholas was a bit tedious, but the Dragonwreck Battleship spread its bones and glided, gradually distancing itself from the huge eye. Around the dragon wreck battleship, the elements are stable, and the image of the storm giant * on the battleship is not big, this battleship itself is refined from the bones of the ancient dragon, the ancient dragon, can fly in a more terrifying environment, this kind of storm is too ordinary for the dragon.
The danger is getting farther and farther away, and Salen does not urge Nicholas, Nicholas seems to be immersed in the past, and the rhythm of his voice is also soothing, and he said slowly: "The Inquisition has always been on par with the Cardinals' combat effectiveness, and sometimes, it will be slightly higher. In the black prison of the Inquisition, countless strong people have been imprisoned, some of whom have been imprisoned for thousands of years. These people can't be released, but it doesn't do any good to kill them, the Inquisition needs their souls. โ
"Soul?"
"Yes, for example, something like the Soul Pearl, someone in the Inquisition has already secretly refined it, and the Cardinal Council can't control it. This Eye of the Storm, designed for the Cloud Streamers, can create powerful hurricanes in open areas, like the one in front of you...... My lord, this storm is at least a thousand miles long, and you say, what would happen if a fleet encountered this storm?"
Salin thought for a while, and felt that unless it was a special existence such as the Ancient Battleship or the Dragon Skeleton Battleship, the other ships would be directly shattered and sunk to the bottom of the sea. The merchant ship that he rescued was also converted from a battleship, and it shattered on the edge of the storm, and the huge eye seemed to be running for its life, rather than trying to pursue the merchant ship, and did not attack at all.
"It's very powerful, using this skill at sea, if you can transform the elements, using the power of the sea, the storm and the tsunami, it is almost invincible. Saleen said to Nicholas.
"Not only that, this eye of the storm is just a way to target the cloud fleet, and there are ghost ships, which use prisoners in the black prison to create ghost creatures, and in the storm, only ghost ships are not imaged. My lord, what would happen if our fleet encountered a group of ghosts whose combat effectiveness was unaffected while our fleet was struggling to survive in the storm?"
Only then did Salin feel the power of the Inquisition, what is a ghost? It is a creature of another plane, not afraid of physical attacks, if this ghost ship is not affected by images in the storm, it is equivalent to a combat power increase of dozens or even hundreds of times.
The most difficult thing about this kind of design idea is how to implement it, it seems that the Inquisition has done it, and then its own fleet, I'm afraid that only the ancient warships are safe!
"How was the eye of the storm made?"
"It was the souls of three hundred and sixty strong ** masters mixed together and refined with divine arts, I don't know how to do it exactly, I can't get in touch with the special skills of the inquisition. Nicholas replied.
"Three hundred and sixty mages!" Salin was not only surprised, but also a hint of anger when he heard this.
However, he immediately calmed down, the Holy See has existed for thousands of years, when Tang Gulas founded the country, he also confronted Qin Yin head-on, the Holy See army, and once killed under the Holy Rock City, although in the end the loss of troops and returned, but the Holy See must have killed a lot of magicians, and even captured a large number of mages and put them in a black prison.
If a mage has the opportunity, he will study a magician, and of course a magician will also make a mage a target for his research. The difference is that the study of magicians is based on knowledge, while magicians will treat magicians as a cherished material.
The spiritual power, soul, and magic strings of the magician can all be used by the magician. Don't look at the magician, he can't cast elemental magic, but he can use the magician's equipment, and even refine the magician into divine equipment.
For example, the soul bead, the soul of a first-level mage, is enough to be worth the souls of hundreds of ordinary people. If it weren't for the Holy See's legal code forbidding the study of these, I am afraid that the bloody conflict between the two sides would become more and more intense until one side became extinct.
Although the Inquisition was arrogant, it only carried out these in secret, and did not dare to provoke a war on the continent until the outbreak of holy war, Pope Dinisio compromised.
"The Inquisition's plan is to fuse the souls of the mages together, and their bodies will also draw the wind elemental magic strings and refine them in the eye of the storm, which can see everything within its control and share it with the ghost ship. At the same time, the eye of the storm can create a large area of storms, with a power equivalent to three hundred and sixty magicians jointly releasing large wind magic. โ
"I'm afraid this can't be, right?" Salin couldn't help but interrupt Nicholas, although the huge eyes that caught up behind him, although powerful, could not be as terrifying as the three hundred and sixty magicians combined.
"Of course not, if the Inquisition could have created such a terrifying thing, it would have already set foot in Alchemy City. My lord, I mean, the fighting power of this eye of the storm is equal to the sustained power of three hundred and sixty mages. Lord alone, if there are three hundred and sixty magicians taking turns attacking you, you may be able to last to the end!" Nicholas's voice became louder, and he still had a thought in his heart, when the eye of the storm came, neither he nor Salin felt the danger, which showed that the strangeness of this thing was not only in terms of combat effectiveness, but also made the enemy unpredictable.
"Not without the Magic Tower. Salin replied indifferently, he was different from others, and the magic tower was carried with him. The magic tower is the most reliable equipment for magicians, but the magic tower of ordinary mages must be rooted in the earth, with the help of the power of the earth, stabilize the surrounding elements, release powerful attacks, and use the power of magic arrays and magic cores to forge a strong defensive barrier.
Nicholas didn't care what Saleen thought, and said, "This eye of the storm is equivalent to three hundred and sixty mages taking turns to attack, almost endlessly, unless you can master the higher rules, so that the eye of the storm has no way to use the elements in the surrounding environment, otherwise ......"
"Nicholas, I heard the Eye of the Storm shouting for help, did you hear me?" Salin interrupted Nicholas abruptly.
Nicholas was stunned for a moment and said, "No!"
"Nellis, what about you?"
"I just vaguely feel what the monster is shouting, I don't understand!" Neris felt, also because she and Saleen had a soul contract.
"Help me, help me!" the huge eyes in the sky still called, and only Salin could hear the voice on the entire battleship.
"If only Elennor were here!" Neris said hatefully, staring at the smaller and smaller eyes in the magical image. Elenor is proficient in archery, and her feathered arrows have regular attributes, which are sure to injure the giant eye.
"Nicholas, why did you come here with the eye of the storm, could it be that he escaped from the black prison?" asked Saleen on a whim.
"This ...... Unlikely, right?" Nicholas said hesitantly, "After the construction of the black prison, I haven't heard of anyone being able to escape. โ
"It's not a person, it's a piece of equipment. It can speak, it can affect me, it's like ...... Advanced machine spirits. If it escaped from the black prison and was in such a hurry, it was shouting for help......"
"There's someone from the Inquisition chasing behind!" Nicholas felt his scalp tingle, and his whole body became nervous.
