Part 2 The Blue Storm The Fifth Sulla Meeting

    The scimitar was waved, and more than ten heads rolled to the ground.

    Starch Spencer sent Druid Kermanshaqui to supervise the execution. He huddled his hands in a brown robe and wrapped himself tightly to resist the moisture here.  Like other druids, Kermansha did not value jewelry and luxurious clothing. He had no other decorations except this simple robe and a pair of straw sandals on his feet.

    Those responsible for the execution were the guards under the Pasha. Most of them, like the Pasha himself, were native black-skinned people.  Unlike the Atas people, the indigenous people of Namibia have dark skin, wide lips and protruding jaws.  Their limbs are strong and strong, and most of them are good at water, making them excellent warriors and fishermen.  The Namibians in these guards, like their lords, had all converted to the First Cause Faith. They wore white robes similar to those of the Athas people, and covered most of their heads with turbans, revealing only sharp and vigilant eyes.

    The sinners are the indigenous witch doctors of Namibia. They are accused of using evil heretical witchcraft to poison the bodies and souls of their neighbors.  This is not a serious crime, but more importantly, they practice medicine illegally, which violates the taboo of the druids of the Starhespense sect.

    ??In the view of the traditional Starh Spencer druids, only surgery can be allowed to exist in medicine, and the other parts are cancers of the human race.  Medicine allows the weak to survive and leave behind descendants, violating the commandments of the druids of the Starhespense order of survival of the fittest.  In their view, the weak race will become poison and prevent the human race from embarking on a higher, faster and stronger evolutionary path.

    ¡°The strong survive!¡± Kormansha waved his hands and shouted in a loud voice. The guards and the locals watching the execution were shocked.  His own druid apprentice also trembled when he heard this, as if he was frightened.  Kermanshah didn't like his apprentice. He looked as soft as a woman and his character was as weak as some women.  The druid even checked the other person himself to make sure he was not a woman disguised as a man.  Coleman Shah felt that he was like a kind of fish on this planet. He was usually male but turned into a female when the water temperature changed.

    The pasha stood on a high platform made of wood and looked down at the execution ground in front of him.  The public execution outside the port was the pasha's own idea.  Recently, sea monsters have been raging, and fishermen and merchant ships have suffered heavy losses. Some restless resisters have begun to make moves again. Pasha thinks that killing people in public can scare them.

    For this idea.  Kermanshah sneered. If killing a few people randomly could scare potential rebels, then there should be no overthrown tyrants in the past.  In the current situation, if we don't get rid of the sea monster quickly, it will be useless.

    The druid dissected more than a dozen of those sea monsters himself.  He personally participated in the creation of a fortress fish that could swim in the Namib ocean, but was beaten to pieces by local sea monsters.  As a result, Pasha didn't have a good look on him.

    Some adventurers and charlatans from all walks of life also came to the pasha's door, claiming that they had ways to deal with those sea monsters.  So far, none of these guys have worked. A team of adventurers claimed that the sea monsters are all followers of the demon king Dagon of the Abyss. As long as they go to the Abyss and defeat Dagon, the sea monsters will naturally flee.  Killing each other.  The pasha paid these adventurers a deposit, but they were all treated as lunch by the abnormal eel demons, water eel demons and water lizard demons called the bottomless abyss.

    There is also a charlatan.  It is claimed that the raging sea monsters are the result of the anger of the ancient sea god who is unreasonable to mortals.  He said that during the Great Conquest, the divine beings hunted and killed by the mummies of Athas' army were all modern gods with weak power.  There are still ancient gods that have been sleeping for a long time in the world of Namibia. They are powerful and will make trouble as soon as they wake up from their slumber.

    The scammer claimed that the only way to appease the ancient gods was to offer appropriate tributes.  The tribute he demanded was five impeccable young girls and a shipload of fine spices imported from distant heavens.

    Strictly speaking, this is blasphemous heresy.  Because there is only one true God in the multiverse, and the others are all false gods with a bit of divinity, regardless of ancient or modern times.  The pasha pretended to agree to the liar's request, but secretly ordered the Rakshasa magicians in the palace to use transformation techniques to disguise themselves as tribute girls.  He took the opportunity to kill the ancient god who was causing trouble.  As a result, the spice ship carrying five "girls" did not sail into the ancient god's coral palace on the seabed, but instead sailed into a secret port of smugglers.  The liar originally planned to have a good time, but he found that the five lovely girls suddenly turned into a tall and thick Luo Sha magician with a tiger head.

    Now, someone else met with the pasha and wanted to discuss ways to deal with the sea monster.  The druid was very unhappy about this.  But he didn't say anything to stop it.  Kermanshah wanted to wait for the Pasha to make his own mistakes, so that he would not blame himself too much for his previous defeat.  What's more, this time the seeker has Musa Emir as a guarantee, so there is no need for him to deliberately refute others and make unreasonable enemies for himself."Go over and listen to what they are saying!" Colemanshah ordered his apprentice, who murmured without moving or speaking.  This apprentice is like this. He neither has the courage to do anything nor refuses.  Once, because he always smiled too much, three strong men dragged him into an empty room and rode him again and again.  When he complained to him, Colemansha slapped his boss and asked him to go back and deal with the three guys.  The apprentice didn't dare to say no, so he bit the bullet and promised his master, but in the end he didn't take revenge.

    The druid was furious and kicked the apprentice in the butt, finally injecting some motivation into the latter.  The apprentice stumbled to the high platform where the pasha was, unaware that his master had hidden an inconspicuous animal companion in his robe.

    On the high platform, the man whose face was covered in Athas custom, with only his eyes exposed, was talking to the pasha.  His introducer, Moussa Amir, stood a few steps away, looking unconcerned with the conversation.  A woman dressed as a mage stood next to the man. Although only her eyes were exposed, she was still impressive.

    Seeing the Druid apprentice coming, none of these people were distracted and paid attention to him.  There is no sense of existence. This is some kind of talent of his apprentice, Kermansha thought.  Forget it, I didn't expect him to do anything.  As long as he can stand there honestly.

    Just as he hoped in his heart, the Druid apprentice hid in a corner of the high platform, saying nothing, hoping that no one would notice him.

    "Seriously?! If you weren't him, then you would be the most audacious liar I have ever seen!" said Pasha Farooq, a tall black man with muscular muscles.  The face was painted with oil paint.  The leather waistcoat and scimitar on his body are both valuable magic props. The anti-magic rings in his hands slowly revealed his identity as a former mage hunter.  "If I weren't a witness to the Second Coming, I would be the biggest fool in the world!"

    "He is that person, but he is also a big liar." Moussa Amir stood in the distance.  He said without looking back.  "He told his wife that he wanted to go out and come back as soon as he went, but he disappeared for seventeen years."

    After hearing this, the masked female mage seemed to smile unnoticed.

    "You can ask a trusted psyker priest to confirm this," Mohadi said.  "The soul cannot be faked."

    "I don't know about the priests in other placesWe have a great mufti (judge) who is a somewhat capable psychic. He is also a shameless profiteer. I don't believe anything he says." Pasha shook his head.  , the enchanted decorations on the ears and neck made a clattering sound.  "The Fatimid sect, the Karamit sect I originally thought that the disputes between sects would be a headache, but I didn't expect that it would happen again!"

    "You can ask your court mage to verify it. They must know some prophecy spells." The masked female mage suggested.

    "That's not bad, but those Luosha demon mages charge a very high price." Pasha glanced at the female mage unexpectedly, then murmured to himself, his beard twitching.  "And the psions are really cunning. I think even the mages might be tricked by them."

    "It sounds like you have a bad impression of psykers." Mohadi frowned.

    "It's not about the psychics," Faruk Pasha said.  "But I know how to be careful. Otherwise I will become a fool who buys Fuling Shui."

    "What is Fulingshui?" The psychic was confused, and he looked at Satiri.  It was discovered that the female mage was not clear either.

    "Your fellow psyker and the local Grand Mufti came up with something called the blessed water that works all the time. Drink it and you will experience something good immediately. Of course, its price  It¡¯s not cheap, at least twenty nanobills of silver coins,¡± explained Emir Moussa.  "There are not many missionaries who come to this remote world, but with this little invention, he not only made a lot of money, but also converted many foolish men and women to the First Cause."

    Muhadi had never heard of Fulingshui, and he couldn't help but be a little confused.  "Is there really such a thing? I have never heard of a psychic that can achieve this effect - 100% good things happen to people. If this psychic really invented such an amazing creation, then he would sell it for a high price  It¡¯s nothing.¡±

    "This sounds like the ability of the Tianyun Mage But I never knew that these abilities could be made into magic items, let alone sold for only twenty silver coins. It can change people's luck. This is an ability that directly affects the nature of the world.  ." The female mage commented.  "Unless the silver coins here are incredibly large, or the recognition of precious metals is completely different from other worlds."

    "Big silver coins mean big wallets. Do you see any of us walking around with extra-large wallets, ma'am? Of course our silver coins are the same as those on Atas."About the same size.  And here it is.  Silver is still not as valuable as gold, but much more expensive than copper and iron.  Pasha shrugged his shoulders and said. "That guy is a liar. You also seem to be a powerful mage. You don't really think that a psychic is capable of making such a powerful thing, do you?"  Mind you, the actual mechanism of action of that thing is the other way around.  It's just a money swindle.  "

    Satiri figured out how Fuling Shui works first, while Muhadi was half a step behind her.  "Does it work in reverse?" the female mage said incredulously.  "It first predicts that a person's luck will get better next, and then makes people drink it?!"

    "Of course it is, otherwise how could it be possible? Do you really think that a second-rate psychic can change a person's luck with twenty silver coins? And he sells hundreds of bottles a day!" Moussa Emir also intervened to explain.  .  "A simple prediction spell and a psychic power that makes people have the urge to drink water are much simpler, don't you think? But it is also thanks to him that the First Cause can spread so quickly in this world. Although the local shaman  They can perform magical healing arts, but most of our missionaries cannot, but magical arts are not as cheap as Fulingshui and are as accessible to the people."

    "So you see, I really can't believe the psions. They know too many tricks to play with your mind." Pasha said, looking back and forth at the two people who suddenly appeared.  "Before the Great Conquest, I was a local bounty hunter who made a living by hunting down illegal mages. But even the most cunning mages are not as wary as you psions from Athas. Of course, if it turns out that it is indeed me.  I made a mistake. Then I will apologize to you, Your Majesty. You can take my sword or my lifebut not beforehand."

    "No matter whether I imagined the views of the Calamites beforefrom then on, I will only believe and obey you."

    "Fair enough." Sadiri made the decision on Muhadi's behalf.  "You will find that what he said is true and we are different from the scammers you encountered before. We are not here to ask for your property. Quite the contrary. We only intend to help solve the difficulties encountered on this planet.  "

    "But we have only one requestto postpone the execution of the extermination order on this planet." Mohadi added.

    "Who is talking too much" Pasha glanced at Musa quickly and then said.  "I can't make a decision on this matter. Lord Danjar is responsible for executing the extermination order. He only obeys the orders of Lord Camilla himself. Our local pashas or druids can help when we encounter trouble."  It's time to ask him for help, but it's his decision how to deal with the trouble afterwards."

    ¡°There must be something you can do,¡± Mohadi said.

    "Okay. I will find a way to delay himif he gets here. But if you want to prevent the Extermination Order or other large-scale destruction methods, you'd better get rid of all the sea monsters in this world quickly.  ."

    Through the animal companion hiding in the apprentice, Kermansha listened to most of the conversation although he stood far away.

    What are the identities of these two people?  The archdruid was very confused and thought they were liars. Their behavior and conversation were not like ordinary liars.  Kermansha wanted his animal companion to get closer and observe, but to his surprise, the stupid, brainless insect shrank back, as if he was afraid of the woman dressed as a mage.

    not good!  Kermansha thought to himself that Pasha must have been helpless by the sea monster.  They simply asked for help from the Fatimid faction on Mistarastan.  Although the identity of the two men is unknown, their actions and words undoubtedly came from Atas, which is also currently under the control of the Fatimid sect.

    Since the prophet disappeared and the believers split into two major factions, there has been constant friction between the two sides.  Although no open war has broken out so far, many people already believe that it will be a matter of time.  The followers of the Kalamit sect have a large fleet of magic ships and the powerful biological technology of the druids of the Starhpensa sect, but the followers of the Fatimid sect are more numerous. They control the holy star Atas and also  There are many psychic missionaries and guardian mages to support.  Which one is strong and which one is weak.  Unpredictable.  Every defection of a world pasha from one side to another tipped the balance of power.

    As a Druid of the Stahebense sect, Kermansha naturally supports Lord Camilla.  If Faruk Pasha was serious about treachery, he had to find a way to stop it¡ª¡ª

    "So. How do you plan to get in touch with the polyp corals in this world?" the Coral Witch asked.

    "Find their mastermind." The psychic said simply, as they stood in an abandoned fishing port.  "Suppose they are really a global and integrated nervous system. I guess the center of this nervous system can be found through simple means."?Where.  "

    "We only need to give its ends a little stimulation, and then we can find the center through its feedback. Although it may be possible to communicate directly through individual polyp corals, the efficiency is definitely not good." Muhadi continued.  "Are you ready to see me go into the water to look for corals?"

    "I didn't know you could swim." Satiri answered him with a smile.  "As a cancer patient, I think your swimming ability must be among the best."

    "To a psychic, pain is nothing but fresh. Although my body functions have declined a lot, I won't fall to the ground in the next second," Muhadi said.  "When I find the location of the mastermind, you can teleport us there together."

    "my pleasure."

    Polyps are found in every body of water in the world, from shallow seas to deep seas.  It didn't take the Psion much time to find a piece of polyp coral. In fact, he found a small cluster in the crevices of the rocks at the bottom of the water almost as soon as he plunged into the sea.

    Muhadi concentrated his mind and displayed his psychic acupuncture power on the small group of polyp coral.  At the same time, he paid close attention to the other party's reaction.

    When the superpower took effect, he noticed the stimulation direction of the polyp coral.  It was a deep sea, far away from the main fishing areas. After the conquerors came to Namibia, there was no decent survey of that area.

    The psion emerged from the water and walked towards Satiri who was waiting on the beach.

    "So fast?" The female mage seemed a little unexpected.  "I thought it would take a little more effort."

    "Can't we keep the other coral waiting?" the psychic said to the coral witch.  "I have found the location of their main brain, in the deep sea. To go there, we must first be prepared to deal with water pressure and lack of oxygen."

    "Leave it to me." Satiri said.  (To be continued.)
