Even Thor couldn't help but look at Leliana again, and the latter accepted Thor's gaze calmly, although his gaze lingered on the woman's breasts for a little longer. Then, Sol raised his voice and said to Kress: "Kress, what do you think?" Kress laughed boldly and said: "What's wrong with it?" Unexpectedly, Kress didn't hesitate at all, Reili Anna's eyes lit up: "You are really a hero." Kress then added, but this was directed at Gru: "Hey, after this is over, it's time to end our duel." "That's right. It's what I want" Gru, who had been silent for the whole time, said slowly. "However, there is no need to kill Hai Long, we have other ways." Raymond said. "Oh?" Leliana said unexpectedly: "What method?" Raymond briefly explained how to replace the Hades crystal on Hailong's forehead with a crystal, and finally said: "As long as you remove the Hades crystal, you can replace it with a crystal. The sea dragon is freed from the control of the necromancer. The replacement crystal core will be ready soon, so there is no need to kill it. " Leliana said happily: "It would be great if this can be done. In fact. We don't want to really kill a dragon. The secret anchorage of the Necromancer fleet is in the ruined Bertoni Port. However, they are very vigilant and take strict precautions. As long as they can get the sea dragon to the designated place, Gru and Clay will do it. Mr. Si can do it." Thor said: "This is not difficult. Cliff has always wanted to destroy the fleet of our Lovell Chamber of Commerce. It is estimated that Headington will be the next target. As long as we make a gesture here, we will definitely be able to do it. Lure them into taking the bait." Raymond scratched his head and said, "The only problem now is that the undead army will attack Ferelden City at some point. Under such circumstances, it will be difficult for us to concentrate on dealing with Hailong." Leliana said. : "Please don't worry about this. Our sect will immediately send troops to attack Lavitt, attract the attention of the Necromancer, and buy you time. This can also be regarded as a guarantee we have made for this cooperation." Once the Sidonis sect sends troops , which means that they will have no way out. Unless they eliminate the undead and seize the Ravit Federation, they will be attacked from both sides and will have no choice but to die. In order to completely dispel Raymond's concerns, they took this action to show their determination. "Very good, then it's settled." Raymond smiled happily: "Once you send out troops, we will start to deal with Hailong." Leliana stood up Yingying and bowed deeply to Raymond and Thor : "On behalf of everyone in the sect, I would like to express my deepest gratitude to you two for your enlightenment." "No, this is something that is beneficial to us all." Raymond said with a smile: "I hope that in the future we can also put aside our hatred and become the best "As long as I am still in the sect, I will never let you down." Leliana promised. So, this cooperation against the Necromancer was concluded. The situation in Veronica Continent will also change dramatically because of this conversation tonight. *************************************************** **************** Afterwards, after agreeing on future contact, Leliana and Gru left. In order to find a way out for the Sidonis sect, she did not hesitate to run so hard in the middle of the night. Her mobility alone was enough to be admired. Seeing Leliana's back gradually disappearing into the wilderness, Thor couldn't help but said: "This woman is not simple." Raymond agreed with him. Although they had met her before, this was the first time he got to know her deeply. touch. Leliana's eloquence, strategy, careful thinking and overall view all left a very deep impression on people. With such talents, the Sidonis sect may become an extremely terrifying force in the future. In fact, it¡¯s not just her. If we look at a wider area, then Raymond of Headington, Leonard of Dirk, Leliana of the Sidonis sect, even Edward of the Necromancer Guild, and the newly joined Emil, Catalina among pirates, Lorna, a rapidly growing swordsman genius, Alina, an alchemist, etc These young heroes of the young generation are profoundly changing the world. The Veronica Continent in the future will definitely be a very exciting place. "Meow, young master, do we really want to cooperate with them?" After Gru left, the three Kresses who were monitoring him returned to the camp, and Bast couldn't help but ask. "This is the only way to defeat the Necromancer as soon as possible." Raymond said. "But that Gru killed Princess Sophia's father, will she agree?" Bastet said. Raymond patted Bastet on the head: "SoAsia will understand. " "Why? Bastet was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized: "Oh, she will listen to you, right?" " "Of course not. "Lemon sighed: "It's just that if Sophia wants to be a qualified queen, she will definitely accept this cooperation. " Leliana once said that Gru's killing of King Fagana had nothing to do with personal hatred, but only for the interests of the sect. So the same is true for this cooperation. If Sofia wants to restore the country, she must put aside her personal hatred and bring the Kingdom of Gaspard to the throne. This is politics, and it is also a test that Sophia cannot avoid on the road to the throne. If she is only obsessed with the pleasure of revenge, then even if Raymond helps her restore the country, Gaspard will only do it. Facing a more tragic future, but Raymond knew that Sophia would understand, because the past few years in Headington have proven that she will be an excellent queen. Here, Thor couldn't help but sigh: "That's true. Unexpectedly, they were fighting to the death, but now they are joining forces with Gru. The world is changing so fast. " Kress snorted: "That's just temporary. I still have to decide the outcome with him after all. Bastet said: "Meow, what if he cheats when he joins forces?" " Kress shook his head with certainty: "Absolutely not. Although he is an enemy, Gru is a hero with extraordinary magnanimity, and he would never do such a despicable act. " "I think so too. "Lemon also said: "I am very confident in this cooperation with the Sidonis sect. " " If this cooperation is a conspiracy of the Sidonis sect, then Leliana's acting skills are really super strong. I, Raymond, admit defeat and accept the defeat. " After what just happened, everyone has lost their sleepiness, and it's just a good day. It was almost dawn, so they simply opened their bags, took out their dry food and chatted while waiting for dawn. Soon, the group returned to Ferelden City, and Thorz and others were relieved. However, a few people left and a few came back, which made them realize that the trip was not going well. ¡°Sir Raymond, isn¡¯t Emil in the hands of the Necromancer? "Silnis asked. Raymond glanced at Thor, who shook his hand in frustration: "Oh, forget it, I was completely fooled by those necromancers this time. " "What's going on? "Tholz and others looked at each other. "I will explain this later. "Raymond said: "There is another important thing. " "What is it? "Everyone asked. So, Raymond simply told everyone that he met Leliana on the way back, and after the two parties discussed it, they decided to cooperate to fight the Necromancer. He finally said: "I have promised her, once Xi Xi The Donis sect attacks Lavit, and we have to rush back to Headington to prepare for the sea dragon. Thorz, is there no problem with Ferelden? " Back then, Ferelden also fought a battle with the Sidonis sect, and the Divine Punishment Knights once attacked the vicinity of Rodia City. Raymond's last words were asking Thorz if he would mind cooperating with the other party. Thorz immediately said: "Of course, no problem. As long as I can defeat those necromancers, I don't mind joining forces with anyone. It's justsigh. "As he spoke, he sighed. Raymond thought that Thorz was worried that he would also be attacked, so he said: "You can rest assured that Leliana has promised that the Sidonis sect only wants Lavit's current land, and will not Will attack the Ferelden Alliance. "Tholz shook his head and said: "No, I was just thinking that the Ravit Federation was first established by a group of talented businessmen with the purpose of building an ideal kingdom belonging to the businessmen themselves. When it was most prosperous, he was the most desirable place for all businessmen on this continent. "Unexpectedly, after years of changes, he continued to corrupt and fall, and finally fell into the hands of a group of necromancers. Now the country will finally cease to exist." "Although Thorz studied in the Lavitt Federation, his family has been a member of the Federation for generations, and he still maintains considerable affection for Lavitt deep in his heart. Now he has to join forces with others to participate in the carving up of Lavitt, so He couldn't help but feel emotional. Raymond understood his mood, and he comforted Thorz: "Don't be too sad. Although it is regrettable, it is better than letting Lavit become a paradise for the undead. " Thorz expressed his understanding. After comforting Thorz, Raymond came to Lorna. This cooperation required temporarily joining forces with Gru. Lorna is a stubborn girl, and Raymond was afraid that she would not be able to think about it. He said to Lorna : ¡°Lorna, I have to tell you something. Gru is a member of the Sidonian sect, so we may have to join forces with him this time. ¡± Sure enough, after hearing this,Anna's eyes suddenly widened, and she clenched her fists tightly: "Is it the Gru who killed me and Her Royal Highness the Princess's father?" "Yes." Raymond secretly said that she still couldn't let go: "But I hope you understand that this cooperation is to defeat the Necromancer and help Sophia recover as soon as possible, so it must be done." At this time, Kress also came over: "Lorna, this is only temporary. If we join forces, I will still decide the winner with Gru afterwards." Lorna's expression changed several times, and finally she lowered her head and said quietly: "I understand, if I can help the princess get revenge, then I will accept it." At this point, she raised her head and said sternly to Kress: "However, Master, I beg you, you must kill him!" Kress slapped his chest: "I promise." ********* *************************************************** ********* With the cooperation with the Sidonis sect, everyone feels that the pressure is much relieved. However, for the sake of caution, Ferelden City remained on tight alert in the following days. Leliana was indeed a believer, and not long after, news came that the Sidonis sect had once again sent troops to the Ravit Federation. The spies arranged by Freddy within LaVitt also confirmed this information. With the restraint of the Sidonis sect, the Necromancer can no longer attack Ferelden as he wants, and can start the next step of his plan. So after Raymond left Sheerness and others to command the troops and continued to cooperate with Thorz to protect Ferelden, he took Bast and Thor back to Headington to prepare to deal with the Necromancer's fleet and Sea dragon. However, he did not take the land route, but led everyone all the way south to the seaside. "Raymond, what did you bring us here for?" Looking at the endless sea, Sol couldn't help but be confused. Shouldn't we rush back to Headington as soon as possible at this time? Does this boy still have time to take a bath in the sea? Raymond said: "Yes, we just want to go back to Headington, but in a faster way." "What, take the sea route?" Sol said in shock: "But I didn't see a ship." Chip said in a deep voice: "Lord Raymond, with all due respect, in this season, taking a boat may not be faster than traveling by land." The coastline of the Veronica continent is very tortuous, and the southeast wind often blows this season, so taking a boat Going to Headington, located to the west of here, would be a waste of time. Raymond really wanted to go back by boat, but it was not an ordinary sea ship, but the ghost ship Dusan. At this point, he had nothing to hide, so he was not afraid of Dusan being exposed. Faced with everyone¡¯s questions, Raymond did not answer, but took out the white whistle Dusan gave him from his arms. Although Dusang said that he would appear as long as he whistled, but facing the vast sea at this moment, Raymond was also a little unsure. Facing the sea, Raymond put the whistle in his mouth and tried to blow it. Unexpectedly, there was no sound. Raymond was very surprised. He took a deep breath and blew hard. However, the whistle seemed to be blocked and made no sound at all. Raymond couldn¡¯t help but be surprised and confused, what¡¯s going on? Could it be possible that even Dusan is like Neisseras, who seems to be loyal and honest, but is actually playing tricks on me? "And Saul and others on the side saw that Raymond neither explained nor took them to find the boat. Instead, he took out a whistle and blew it again and again. What was even weirder was that he still didn't want to whistle. They looked at each other for a moment, not knowing what Raymond was up to. "Young Master, what are you doing?" Bastet couldn't stand it anymore and asked cautiously. "I'm" Raymond was about to say that he was summoning a ship, but how could he explain the current situation clearly? He couldn't help but be speechless. "Uh I'm talking about Raymond. I know you've been under a lot of pressure lately. You don't have to force yourself too much. You should rest when you should." Thor coughed dryly and said seriously: "In addition, you should also pay attention to how to relax, eat and drink. Sleeping and everything else is fine, but running to the beach and whistling is a bit" Kress also shook his head and sighed: "Oh, Lord, don't blame Lord Raymond too much, I think he is just doing this. It will be normal for a while.¡± The two of them thought that Raymond was so stressed that he went crazy because of the pressure. Raymond was so depressed that he almost spit out a mouthful of blood. He blew the whistle hard again, and after confirming that the thing would indeed not sound, he threw it into the sea in anger. Dusan, you have the guts! When I see Nethras again, I will make sure that she drives you to pieces! Seeing that Raymond also threw away the whistle, Sol and Kress were even more convinced that he was suffering from mental disorder caused by too much pressure.Sette also had tears in her eyes, looking at Raymond and choking with sobs: "Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu, Young Master is so pitiful" Just when Raymond was so depressed that he wanted to look up to the sky and scream, a burst of foam suddenly appeared on the sea in front of them. As the water surface boiled for a while, there was a loud splash, and a huge thing emerged from the water. Everyone was startled. As the water gradually fell, they saw clearly that what appeared was a large, black ship that was completely decayed. The surface of the ship was pitted and covered with barnacles, seaweed and other parasites. The sails were as rotten as strips of cloth, and a gray mist shrouded the surrounding area, as if it had been soaked in water for hundreds of years. At the same time, a skeleton wearing a captain's uniform appeared from the bow of the ship, holding in his hand the whistle that Raymond threw into the sea: "Sir Raymond, I came a little late, how could you throw it away. "It is Dusan, the true body of the ghost ship. "Undead!" Kress yelled, and he unsheathed his sword. Bastet and Chip also looked wary, and Sol ran away regardless of his image. Only then did he notice that there were other people. Dusan scolded: "Are there other guests? Why didn't you tell me? How can I see people like this now? Wait." With that, he saw the ghost ship. The hull of the ship changed rapidly. The decayed hull restores the original color of the wood. The damaged parts of the ship's hull were quickly repaired, and like magic, cables, anchors, portholes, etc. appeared automatically. The mast, which had only a few rags fluttering, was also replaced with brand new canvas. Soon, a beautiful and neat ship appeared in front of everyone. And Dusang also transformed from a skeleton into a well-dressed and handsome man. He bent down slightly and saluted to the stunned Thor and others: "Hello, Mr. Raymond's guests, welcome to the 'Unsinkable'." ************ *************************************************** **** "Meow, I recognize you!" At this time, Bastet exclaimed: "Aren't you that so-and-so?" At first, Raymond and his party were attacked by Cooley, sank to the bottom of the sea, and were captured by the sea dragon Nethras. After the rescue, it was Antiva Island that Dusan sent them to. At that time, Toussaint appeared in front of them in this image, so Bastet recognized him at first sight. Du Sang smiled bitterly and said, "It's Du Sang from the Unsinkable, the cat-person lady." Du Sang's change surprised Thor and others. In fact, when Raymond and Erebena went to investigate the zombie sea dragon a while ago, it was Headington who was sent back by Dusan to Raymond. He briefly appeared at the port, but at that time everyone was busy welcoming Raymond. Alas, no one paid attention to that unknown ship. Although they didn¡¯t know who Dusan was, at least they could see that Dusan was not hostile. "Raymond, what's going on?" Saul asked, "Why is there an undead here?" Raymond scratched his head and explained to them: "Don't worry, Dusan is our friend. Uhyou guys Remember what I said last time, I was rescued by a female dragon, and the Necromancer controlled her child. She wanted me to help rescue the sea dragon, right? " "Dusan is Nethaleth's subordinate. , was commissioned by her to help me as much as possible while dealing with the Necromancer. " "I am willing to serve you at any time." Dusan bowed to everyone elegantly. Secretly, it turned out to be the case, and Saul and others were relieved. Kress returned the sword to its sheath and murmured: "We just fought the necromancer, and now we have to deal with the undead. Darling, there are so many weird things in this world." At this time, Dusan asked Said: "Lord Raymond, what's the matter with you calling me here?" Raymond said: "Send us back to Headington as quickly as possible." He then frowned and said: "By the way, how do you blow the whistle you gave me? Doesn't sound? It's not broken, right?" Du Sang said aggrievedly: "This whistle emits a spiritual wave that only I can hear, so no matter where you are, I can come if you blow it. It¡¯s really sad that it¡¯s lost.¡± Thinking that it was like this, Raymond said helplessly: ¡°You didn¡¯t explain it to me. And do you know that I could do nothing if I just blew it alone on the beach. The whistle that doesn't sound is really embarrassing." "Ahem" Dusang said awkwardly, "I can't help it. How about I change it?" "This let's forget it." God knows what weird things Dusan will reinvent. Instead of doing this, it's better to keep it as it is. Can't I secretly brag about it next time? "What a pity, I happen to have a few good ideas." Du Sang's face was filled with regret. Returning the whistle to Raymond, he warned: "Please don't throw it away next time."?¡± Then, Du Sang said to everyone: ¡°Then, please get on the boat. " The deck of the ghost ship automatically extended a piece to the shore and turned into a boarding board. Although Thor was used to seeing strong winds and waves, this was his first time on a ghost ship. He couldn't help but said to Raymond: "Hey, I said No problem? " Raymond affirmed: "Don't worry, it's absolutely safe, and we'll be at Headington soon. " Then he glanced suspiciously at Dusan, who was smiling and waiting for everyone to board the ship. After all, Saul still didn't want to lose face in front of his son. He waved to Chip and Kress and walked to the ship in a swagger. " Quickly, the group boarded the ghost ship. Then, under the control of Dusan, the ship sailed toward the sea. "Lord Raymond and all guests, please go to the cabin and rest. "On the ghost ship, Dusan bent down and showed his hands respectfully. (To be continued.)
