Continental Warriors Yoo Ma

Although Ma Youfu felt that this incident did not have a perfect ending, he could not force the trial knight to continue the investigation.Especially before Antonio left, he gave Ma Youfu a book.

"Master Marquis, this is a magic book I found in the underground palace. After inspection by three priests, it was confirmed that this book is not dangerous. This cooperation is very pleasant, and I will give this book as a return gift You. It is my duty, I must set off for the North."

Before leaving, in front of Antonio who said these words, Ma Youfu couldn't speak to keep him.

Although the image of the Inquisition in the outside world is ruthless, preferring to kill the executioners who are not willing to let go in order to eliminate heresy, but since it is a group composed of people, it is inevitable to have secular desires.

Ma Youfu donated [-]% of the property left by the nobles who had degenerated into corrupt believers to Antonio as a "special donation".By the way, he also gave the other party a hundred matchlock guns and fifty grenades.The Marquis was so generous, Antonio also reciprocated, slightly violating the rules of the trial court, and gave the other party a magic book that did not cause any harm.

Otherwise, I am afraid that this book will just lie in the vault of the Holy See in Rome and never see the light of day.

After sending Antonio off, Mayoufu flipped through the magic book titled "Control and Manipulation——Refined Research on Magic Power".

This book is written in Latin, and the author is the mage Sethius from ancient Rome.

The book introduces many techniques to improve the efficiency of spellcasting and to use spells with half the effort.Even the master of arcane, who once worked as a messenger of divine protection, also wrote in the book how to combine magic power with divine power.

The divine power in the book specifically refers to the power that can only be used by gods, and it often contains certain laws and characteristics, which is a higher level of power than magic power.

As for priests, paladins and other occupations that can cast divine spells, the source of their extraordinary power is actually magic power.It's just that their magic power is bestowed by the gods through prayer, unlike mages who need to rely on themselves to extract and store it from the environment.

"The priest who seduced René I possessed extraordinary arcane skills. Maybe he learned it from this book? It seems that I should also study it carefully, maybe I can get a greater improvement in magic attainments. Improve." Ma Youfu became very interested in this magic book, and after getting it, he spent at least an hour every day studying it, which benefited a lot.

Through tireless study, Ma Youfu gained a lot of experience, not only rose to level 12, but also gained a new specialty: fusion of divine power.

Now, when Ma Youfu casts spells, he can integrate nano power into the spells, giving the spells new characteristics.

For example, the most basic magic missile, after being integrated with nano-divine power, not only its power is enhanced, but also through fine magic control, one magic missile can be divided into several pieces, even in extreme cases, it can be divided into hundreds of pieces.Although the total magic power level has not changed, the lethality of this spell is very different.

Just imagine, hundreds of force field energies transformed from a magic missile piercing into the body, the effect would definitely be different from being hit by an ordinary magic missile whose lethality is similar to that of an arquebus.

Moreover, in addition to many changes in casting spells, this specialty has unlimited possibilities for Ma Youfu, a magician who is good at making enchanted items.

One day in late January, Ma Youfu returned to his residence after finishing his daily spell practice in the practice field on the castle tower specially opened for him by the Duchess.

Ma Youfu, who was exhausted both physically and mentally, missed his hardworking and capable private secretary Antoinette very much.He found himself increasingly inseparable from this girl who took care of him meticulously.

"Antonia? Antonia?" Ma Youfu called out twice as he opened the door and entered the room.

No one answered.

Ma Youfu immediately raised his vigilance.

He gently pulled out the Peacemaker revolver, which is more suitable for use in narrow environments, and walked into the living room gently, and then saw a woman sitting on the sofa, with a slender figure and a slender back, giving people infinite reverie.

"Ms. Valentina, I don't know why you came to my room quietly. And, where's my private secretary?" Although he didn't see the face, Ma Youfu immediately guessed the identity of the other party.

Valentina turned around, revealing her still stunning face.

She chuckled and said, "Master Marquis, please don't make me sound like I'm a thief. As for your private secretary—there are so many nicknames for lover, does this also come from Eastern culture? Alright , no kidding, that lovely girl is sleeping soundly in the bedroom. I have a special affinity for her, so don't worry, I won't hurt her."

Ma Youfu didn't speak, and immediately went to the bedroom to check, and after confirming that Antoinette was only asleep and there was no abnormality in his body, he came out.

Valentina gave Ma Youfu a reproachful look: "Master Marquis, is the trust between us so insignificant? I thought our meeting last time was very pleasant and we have become friends."

"Although the information you provided is accurate, it is not of much value. It is not commendable to be reluctant to make a nest when fishing. And given your scheming, ma'am, I naturally have to be more vigilant." Ma Youfu sat on the tile Opposite Lentina, pistol raised.

Valentina glanced at the gleaming silver weapon in the man's hand: "What a man who likes to show off his strength... Well, it seems that the atmosphere between us will continue to be tense until I explain my intentions."

Sighing helplessly, Valentina said: "This time I came to see you as the emissary of the Son of Salt Mist. Mr. Marquis, Mr. Johannes Strozzi, I hope to form an alliance with you to fight against that A group of uninvited guests from another world."

Ma Youfu had already guessed that Valentina had a connection with that mysterious pirate, so he was not surprised.What surprised him was that the other party actually wanted to form an alliance with him.

"I understand." Ma Youfu nodded and made a gesture of invitation, "Then, Miss Valentina, please use your eloquence to convince me to agree to this ridiculous decision. Tell me, compared to the Damn the pirates hanged, I have better options."

The conversation between the two lasted about 10 minutes, and then Ma Youfu nodded in agreement with Valentina's request and agreed to form an alliance with the Son of Salt Mist.

The fundamental reason for this alliance is that both sides need to defeat the vampire pirate lord from another world.

Ma Youfu needless to say.For Strozzi, the current world is of course better than the world in which Earl Noctis realized his ambition.

If, as the vampire lord had imagined, the invaders from the other world finally won and established a powerful necromancer empire around the Mediterranean Sea, what would the Sons of Salt and these pirates who lived on plunder do?They can only snatch bones, carrion, and spiritual powder from the cemetery where the dead live... Can these junk be eaten or can they be exchanged for gold, silver and jewelry?

What's more, Strozzi's real ambition is to travel all over the seven seas to find the legacy of the ancient sea god.Does being a lackey of the undead help with that goal?

No.

It is the common interest of both parties to defeat the vampire pirates.But the real basis for the two sides to build an alliance is trust.

Valentina provided Ma Youfu with some useful information, making him decide to try to trust these cunning pirates.

First of all, the most important news is that the Son of Salt Mist is still in France and has not fled back to the Mediterranean.

Ma Youfu's previous blockade strategy was actually very effective, blocking all of Strozzi's escape to the sea.

"I once suspected that the Sons of Salt Mist had escaped, and I was about to remove the blockade of several major sea outlets to free up manpower to defend against undead pirates. I didn't expect... Hahaha, it seems that the facts have proved that my decision is still correct Yes." Ma Youfu couldn't help laughing out of the Son of Salt Mist, who was elusive.

Chapter 380 Eighth Fragile Alliance

"Lord Marquis, your strategy really worked. Even the Son of Salt Mist admires your wisdom. But didn't you catch him? You lived in a comfortable and luxurious castle, enjoyed food and wine every day, and There are beauties around. And Mr. Strozzi can only hide in the remote swampy lake, because they are afraid of your patrol force, those pirates don’t even dare to rob the villagers, they can only survive by fishing and digging tree roots .But even so, they have persisted until now, and without me, you would not be able to know their whereabouts."

Ma Youfu raised his eyebrows, and said unexpectedly: "Miss Valentina, you promote the willpower and tenacity of the children of the salt mist so much, it seems that you are not praising them, but reminding me not to underestimate this pirate, I understand correct?"

"You can think so."

"That's a curious thing. Aren't you serving Mr. Strozzi?"

Valentina said: "You have misunderstood, Mr. Marquis. Mr. Strozzi is a pirate, and I am an unbelievers. We are not in the same way at all. It's just that for some considerations, I am serving Strozzi It's just work, sir. You can understand me as a mercenary. It's just that the place where I fight is not the frontal battlefield, but the social field. While working for Mr. Strozzi, I also have to consider my own interests. "

"I agree with your statement." Ma Youfu nodded.

He knew that Valentina had an intention to show favor to him. Although he didn't know the specific purpose, it was enough to be able to use this for profit now.

For example, next, in order to strengthen the trust between the two parties, Valentina provided Ma Youfu with a heavyweight news.

"Master Marquis, I have obtained some important information about the black fort on the sea, do you want to know?" Valentina leaned forward and looked at Ma Youfu with her chin in her hand.

She was wearing a low-cut blue dress, and with this movement, gravity immediately pulled out a plump and seductive groove on her chest.

The two looked at each other for a while, and she said with a coquettish smile: "Very well, I can see the desire to defeat the undead pirates in your eyes. If you just peeked at my chest for more than ten breaths, maybe you won't get it." This is important information. Fortunately, you are an excellent man who can control your desires at any time."

"My eyes are sharp enough, and I have enough experience. It only takes five seconds to mentally simulate your shape, size, softness and elasticity. You are testing me on the wrong benchmark, miss. " Ma Youfu said solemnly.

Valentina was so choked that she couldn't speak for a moment, her pretty face had a rare layer of charming pink.After being at a loss for a while, she continued the previous topic as if nothing had happened: "On the tallest tower in the center of Black Castle, there is a magic prism cannon installed, which has the power to destroy a warship with one blow. You should know this arms."

Andre Doria told about his experience of being destroyed by Black Castle on the Sword of Nassau, which Ma Youfu had heard about for a long time.

"So the name of this weapon is Prism Cannon." He thought thoughtfully, "Miss Valentina, you don't just want to tell me a name, do you?"

"As we all know, the more powerful the weapon, the higher the cost of use. The prism magic cannon on the black castle needs to consume a huge amount of necromantic power every time it is fired. Earl Noctos - that is the vampire lord, who used to use only The Prism Cannon was fired once, the purpose of which is to intimidate human beings, so that you dare not easily send a fleet to fight against it. As far as I know, the magic power stored in Black Castle is only enough for two full-power shots of the Prism Cannon, so Nock Earl Tess will never use this weapon lightly. Just like the last battle at Scipio Port, even if he sat back and watched his undead army be defeated, he didn't do anything, just ran away in despair, didn't he?"

Next, Valentina explained the principle of the prism magic cannon to Ma Youfu in detail, and even drew a sketch for him.

As an elite twelfth-level spellcaster, Ma Youfu could tell that the other party was not lying.

"Very good, Miss Valentina, this is very useful information. It has given me a more accurate assessment of Blackburg's real combat power. In my mind, you have risen to the level of a partnership."

Although Valentina is not a professional mage and has very little understanding of the production of magic items, Ma Youfu can still see the general performance of the prism magic cannon from the sketches drawn by her.

This is an optical weapon like a huge telescope. By changing the configuration of prisms, lenses, and reflectors in the lens barrel, the prism magic cannon can switch between two shelling modes.

The first type Ma Youfu calls "direct fire", which is the most powerful shelling mode, not to mention Andre's little Nassau Sword, even the Royal Seventh, which can be called a giant ship by the standards of this era. The holy name can't withstand a bombardment.The second shelling mode is "Scatter".In this mode, the Magic Prism Cannon can emit dozens or even hundreds of necrotic rays, causing terrible damage within a certain range.

So even if Valentina told Ma Youfu that the prism magic cannon can only be fired twice now, Ma Youfu would not think that I had the advantage, and then go up to A regardless.

Be cautious, still be cautious.

Seeing Ma Youfu studying the drawings with great interest, Valentina also heaved a sigh of relief.This is the information I stole at the risk of being almost strangled to death by that vampire.If it wasn't for using taunts to attract Earl Noctos' attention, how could the "peeping eye" she released see the prism magic cannon clearly?

"Miss Valentina, now you can send a message to Mr. Strozzi. In order to defeat the undead pirates who are a major threat to the civilized world, I can form an alliance with him." Ma Youfu put away his pistol.

Valentina nodded, asked Ma Youfu for a glass of water, and cast a spell into the glass.The clear water oscillated, and characters appeared on the water surface one by one.

Not long after, words appeared in the water glass again, which happened to be "agree" in English.

Relying on Valentina as an intermediary, Ma Youfu and the Son of Salt Mist formed a fragile alliance.

The former will lift the blockade and patrol of all rivers and lakes in Provence according to the agreement, so that Strozzi and his subordinates can return to the ocean.Valentina, as the liaison between the two parties, is responsible for coordinating the communication.After the famous Son of Salt Mist is freed, he can quickly subdue the pirates who betrayed Earl Noctos.Then, he will pretend to form an alliance with the vampire lord and secretly provide information to Ma Youfu.

After the Normandy fleet arrives, the Genoa fleet can be assembled, and with the strength of the three parties, they can fight the undead.

On the second night, Ma Youfu led a hundred guards of the Marquis, and Valentina came to a forest near the mouth of the Petite Rhone.

According to Valentina, the Sons of Salt Pirates will pass by here.Strozzi suggested that the two sides meet.

Well, it's a face-to-face meeting in the literal sense.

Based on different positions, it is impossible for the two parties to sign a binding contract like between countries.How the alliance between the two parties develops depends on their respective game skills and strategies.It is enough to communicate with Valentina as an intermediary. In fact, there is no need to talk face to face.

It's just that Strozzi may feel that he was chased by Ma Youfu for hundreds of kilometers, and was trapped in the swampy jungle of Provence for a long time. He was unwilling, so he wanted to see the Seris who made him feel embarrassed , in the end what it looks like.

Ma Youfu greatly satisfied the other party's request.

At twelve o'clock, a small boat appeared on the river and galloped towards the mouth of the river.

The tattered hull, the mended sails, and the few sailors on the deck were also ragged, unkempt, and looked like savages.

Ma Youfu noticed that among the distressed sailors, there was a well-dressed man with a colorful feather on his red three-cornered hat.

"It seems that he is the famous son of salt mist, Johannes Strozzi." Ma Youfu waved to the other party with a smile, completely ignoring the serious expression on Strozzi's face, "Since you want to see me so much, let me show you Be clear."

After finishing speaking, Ma Youfu chanted a spell and cast several lighting spells around him.Of course, by the way, he also showed off the troops with distinctive armor behind him.

The show of force was effective.Strozzi shrank his pupils slightly, took off his hat and saluted Ma Youfu.

Valentina, who had been waiting quietly, said with a smile: "Master Marquis, this cooperation is very pleasant, and I look forward to our next meeting. By the way, do you want a parting gift?"

"If you were here in real life, I might ask the beautiful lady for a kiss. But I'm not interested in phantoms made of magic."

Valentina stared straight at Ma Youfu, the corners of her lips curled up, and she smiled playfully.She walked up to the man in a few steps, stood on tiptoe, wrapped her arms around his neck, and their lips were tightly pressed together.

After a long time, the four lips parted with great difficulty, but they were still connected by crystal threads.

"Are you actually a real person?"

"Your perception is a bit slow, Lord Marquis, you just realized it now?" Valentina pulled away from Ma Youfu's arms and waved to him, "This kiss feels good, your lips taste sweet, just like Ann Miss Toinette's lips."

"What?" Youfu Ma felt that there was a lot of information in this sentence.

But Valentina didn't answer, she took a few steps back, her figure flickered a few times, and then disappeared without a trace.

The next moment, this unpredictable and mysterious woman appeared on the boat of the Son of Salt Mist.

"Welcome aboard, Miss Valentina." Strozzi said with a half-smile, "It seems that you have a very good relationship with that Sirisian. That kiss made me jealous."

Chapter 380 IX

"Why, are you jealous, Mr. Great Pirate?" Valentina smiled coquettishly.
