Chapter 144: Rescuing the Witch and Attacking the Holy See
The people of the Central Plains knew very little about the Western Continent, so there were no people who knew their language. Pen, fun, pavilion www.biquge.info but fortunately, there is also a god grass, don't look at the name is very high, in fact, it is a translation function, and the two people holding it can communicate without barriers.
That's right, it is precisely because of these amazing plants that Dahan can develop so quickly. Now, if it is not from the Han Dynasty, but if you have been here before, I am afraid you will not be able to recognize it if you come again. Now the whole Han looks much more magical than the various foreign countries described in "Mirror Flowers". Countless wonderful plants and animals can be seen everywhere in the land of the Han Dynasty as ordinary things.
Through Tongshen Cao, Li Li and the others finally knew why these foreigners wanted to kill the merchants who came out to trade in their country. I really didn't expect that there would be countries with divine power exceeding imperial power, and this side is obviously not a big place, but it is divided into dozens of countries, each country still has in-law ties with each other, and all countries are all under the rule of theocracy. The king's accession to the throne requires the coronation of the pope. The news he got from the mouth of the captured knight really shocked Li Li's three views.
Along the way, the army led by Li Li almost went on a rampage, but it only took a month to kill the place where the Pope was. All this, as well as Zhu Yu's credit, Emperor Qianling wanted Fengyue to help make some plants that could not be hungry for a long time. Then Feng Yue thought of Zhu Yu, which was not made, but a little bit in his own collection.
Feng Yue managed to extract Zhu Yu's bloodline and integrate it into a local weed. Although it failed many times, it still succeeded in the end, and it was probably only about 10% of the efficacy of the original. It is not difficult to use it to refine the elixir, but anyone who can make pills can do it, one can keep you from hunger for a month, not as good as the original can keep you from starvation for a year, but it is not easy for marching and fighting.
What is this equivalent to? It is equivalent to a year's worth of supplies that were originally needed to be brought during the war, but now the volume of the things that need to be carried is less than a day's amount, and both the speed and the progress are much faster.
When they came to the land god where the Pope was located, Li Li's people thought that they had gone to the wrong place and came to other countries. This prosperous scene is completely different from the poverty, ignorance, and hardship they have seen along the way, and these two areas are the difference between heaven and hell.
Although there are many differences between the civilian and aristocratic areas of the Han Dynasty, even the commoners are not starving to death now. The differences between them have become much smaller, far less than they are seen in this land.
In addition to the gap between the rich and the poor between each other, Li Li and the others also relied on a lot of existentialities that were considered witches along the way. Most of them are powerless women, but there are indeed dozens of real witches who can manipulate some elemental powers, but they are not very powerful.
Originally, they were still quite afraid of Li Li, but once the leader was seen by Li Li and his people when they were performing witchcraft, and those soldiers were not curious, let alone shouting at them. So these witches began to have a good impression of them, and when they first saw the Tongshen grass, they were very curious, thinking that they had found a large army of witches.
The following are all exchanges through the Divine Grass.
"Who are you? are you demons from hell?" asked Dale Lace, the leader of the witches.
Zhang Xu, the strategist beside Li Li, smiled at her as much as he could: "We are knights from the East, because the merchants we came to trade were killed by the Holy See on your side, so we have specially come to help them avenge. It's just a good idea to save you this time. I just don't know why you were persecuted by those knights, you just look like weak women?"
"Hey, why can't I understand what you're saying, but I can feel what you mean?" Lace asked, holding the Tongshen Grass in her hand, a little puzzled.
Zhang Xu explained to her the use of Tongshen grass.
"Could this be the legendary Utong grass?" said Lace, a little excited, for the first time she had seen a plant associated with witchcraft.
The two of them exchanged a lot after that, although they can't say that they know each other, but they basically understand the news on the surface of each other.
"Can you show me your so-called witchcraft?" mentioned witchcraft, Zhang Xu was still a little curious, and asked a little embarrassed.
After the exchange, Lace had let her guard down on him, knowing that they weren't the kind of people who persecuted them knowing they knew they could witchcraft, and began to show her abilities.
Lace's witchcraft should be wood-based, I saw a faint green light on her hands, and then began to grow vines slowly, the growth rate was not fast, after a long time, the vines bloomed, and a light red berry was born, and then there was no blood on Lace's face, and the whole person was a little prostration.
Zhang Xu originally thought that it was some kind of magical ability, but he could only do it like this, and said with some disappointment: "Can it only be like this? I can also do it in this way, although it is not by my own ability." ”
After saying that, he made a seed and threw it to the ground, and as soon as the seed touched the ground, it took root directly, and the roots continued to go deeper, and then plants like gyokuro grew out of the land. Each leaf is very full, and after cutting the leaf, there is hardly any plant fiber in it, all of which is just plain water. This is a drinking water plant that Feng Yue specially prepared for their march to fight.
After reading it, Lace stopped talking, originally thinking that her ability was already quite unique, but she didn't expect that the other party didn't need the ability at all, only a seed was needed to do this. The whole person was a little lost, and I didn't know what to say.
Zhang Xu didn't know how to comfort her, so he could only take her back to the place where those witches lived together, and hoped that he could explain their current situation to those witches.
Lace explained to the dozen or so real witches in there what she had just seen on Zhang Xu's side, and what Zhang Xu had told him about the army. The dozen or so witches also covered their mouths, and they almost didn't let out a sound of surprise.
"It's amazing, if we go to live with them, no one will persecute us. One of them, a young witch in her early teens, said.
"Yes, I want to go too, but I was betrayed by my mother, and I don't want to stay in this kind of place anymore. One of them, looking at the young but very old witch, said in a low voice.
All of you who are real witches are either reported by your neighbors or your own parents. Even if I go back, I'm afraid the results won't be very optimistic. It's better to go with this army, and look at their situation, no matter where they go, it shouldn't be worse than here.
After discussing it with a few people, it was decided that Lace would go and tell Zhang Xu about his desire to join their country. As for the rest of the women who were mistaken for witches, the dozen or so witches didn't care about them. Because when they were all together just now, when the women who were not witches found out that they were real witches, those who were not witches looked at them with resentment. If it weren't for fear, I'm afraid they would have to come and tear them apart.
Lace continued to talk to Zhang Xu a few more times, and the small group of more than a dozen witches represented by Lace officially reached an agreement with Zhang Xu, and they returned to Dahan with Zhang Xu, hoping to live in peace in Dahan. And the price they pay is to help them get to where the Pope is.
Among the dozen witches, although most of them were commoners, there were also two nobles, and those two nobles were Lace and the younger witch. Therefore, they still know about the place where the Pope is located, and at the same time remind them that the Pope does have many magical abilities, and I hope not to lower their vigilance.
Some distance before going to the temple where the Pope was, Li Li and his party met many knights with some abilities. They can attach a faint white glimmer to the blade, and knives that are not very sharp can even cut through their armor made of stainless steel.
At first, I didn't know it, but I lost more than a dozen people, and then I killed all the knights through crossbow arrows. At this time, after hearing the various abilities of the Holy See and their sphere of influence explained by those witches, the more Li Li and the others went back, the more they dared not slack off.
At the same time, I am glad that I did not forget to bring artillery and other things with me. Before they came, Feng Yue already had some premonitions about what they would experience later. Therefore, he specially asked Emperor Qianling to bring over a few strange beasts raised in the alien beast garden. They were three peacocks and several alien beasts that had been fused with the essence of the five elements of a single attribute, because only this type of alien beast could exert its power outside of the Kyushu Enchantment.
Although those beasts were not very powerful when they were first created, their abilities became stronger and stronger as time passed. In the end, Feng Yue was worried that they would give birth to spiritual intelligence, and it would not be good if they would become monsters and cause trouble in the world. Therefore, they were specially forbidden, and Emperor Qianling was also given a magic weapon to control them.
This time, Emperor Qianling heard that they were going to deal with a theocratic state, and he was not ignorant of this kind of thing, and he was worried that they would encounter some strange things, so he specially lent them the magic weapon for temporary use.
As they were about to reach the main temple where the Holy See was located, a large number of knights arrived with some priests. They are scattered among each other, and the artillery is not very good. This time, the strength was much higher than before, and the crossbow bolts had little effect on them, even if they were injured, the surrounding priests emitted a white light, and the wounds would recover quickly.
At this time, Li Li was very happy to take out the magic weapon that Emperor Qianling gave him at the beginning, and then said the spell with a strange face: "Come out, my partner!"
