[Count of Monte Cristo] Archon

... "

In just the blink of an eye, Moji had already driven the carriage around the city of Istanbul twice.Considering to give Muhammad time to catch up, Lilith, who disguised herself as a coachman for a while, ordered the two horses to enter along the west gate of Istanbul, pass through the city invisibly, and swagger slowly through the east gate. drove out.After strolling in the courtyard for a long time, the carriage finally stopped at a small river with gurgling water, and camped for the night.

Due to the shading of magic, Ulysses and Haiidee didn't find anything abnormal along the way. Haiidee, who had been imprisoned for seven years, couldn't help but lie on the car window, looking at the "scenery" outside the window with relish.

Ulysses paid attention to the speed and direction of a carriage.He has memorized the territorial map of the Ottoman Empire since he was a child, and he also has an understanding of the cities and terrain near Istanbul.According to the speed and time of the normal carriage, he easily estimated where he was now—it was on the road leading to the nearest port.

It seemed that there was nothing wrong, but Ulysses always felt that there was something strange... After he got out of the car, he began to look at the carriage suspiciously, and from time to time he would glance at Lilith who was setting up the tent, wondering what he was thinking.

The nature of elves makes them like to pursue perfection. Although Lilith transformed herself into a lich, her nature of pursuing perfection has not changed.It was just a tent, so she calculated at least five times, adjusted the angle six times, and buried seven magic circles in the corners of the tent to ensure the comfort and safety of sleeping.While doing this, her action efficiency was also astonishingly high. Before Edmund finished "communicating" with the two demon horses, a tall and exquisite tent stood upright.

After threatening Moji not to show more than ordinary horses, Edmund patted their heads "kindly" and turned around.After packing up the tent, Lilith had already changed into the robe she used to wear, brought over a basin of sparkling water, and asked him to wash his hands.

Edmund instinctively felt that something was wrong, and after turning his mental power around in the basin, he immediately retracted as if he had been burned.He cast a silencing spell, gritted his teeth and said, "Holy Light|Water? Lilith, where did you get this thing!"

Lilith smiled, and a hint of cunning flashed in her eyes: "Don't waste it, my dear lord. This is the spoil I brought out from the abyss. What a good thing I snatched from the family temple when the descendants were fighting!"

Edmund looked at her suspiciously, and slowly dipped his hand into the water.After an undetectable "嗤啦", black smoke billowed from the surface of the water, and Edmond's palm was corroded at a speed visible to the naked eye, turning into dense white bones.

He looked at his bones that had changed their shape: "Godhead source power?"

This is rather unusual... No wonder Lilith took it with her.The God of Light is one of the few gods who are naturally opposed to the abyss, and his power is inherently restraining the dark elements.The holy water of light, as the name suggests, is something used to baptize believers in the temple of the god of light. It contains a part of light elements, and it is also something that low-level dark creatures are very afraid of.

Saint of Light|Water itself also has grades, which are generally distinguished according to the size of the injected magic power.The holy|holy water that Lilith took out seems to be crystal clear, but the light element filled inside is as thick as a solid, and even contains a trace of the original power of a god. Good things to bestow upon posterity.

Seeing this at such a time, Edmund couldn't help being a little unhappy.He didn't have any particular likes and dislikes towards the God of Light at first, but all creatures living on the ground are photophilic. The belief in the God of Light has a huge foundation in Ryan's world. Almost every time a new plane is opened, he can use the best Quickly took over the beliefs of the local gods there... and in this plane, as far as Edmund knew, there were no fewer than ten gods related to light.If the God of Light discovered the existence of this plane before Edmond took control of this plane, let alone complete the task, whether Edmund could keep his skeleton intact is another matter.

But he knew that Lilith would not take this thing out for no reason.Glancing at Lilith, Edmond motioned for her to explain.

Sensing his displeasure, Lilith smiled and said, "Your Majesty Edmund II, don't you think that His Highness Ulysses is just an ordinary human being?"

Edmund took his hand out of the basin, black magic lingered, and the damaged flesh and bones quickly grew back to the original: "So what?"

"How long can an ordinary human's appearance last without fading?" Lilith asked back, "You are a powerful high-level demon, as long as you don't make mistakes during missions, you can survive forever under the protection of the original law , but what about Your Highness Ulysses? He only has a lifespan of a few decades, and his life is as fragile as crystal."

Edmund frowned slightly, glanced at her again, and said impatiently: "So what? Why should I care about the life and death of an ordinary human being?"

"Isn't he the favorite collection of His Majesty?"

"Lilith, you seem to have made a mistake." Edmund said blankly, "A love affair across races will not have a good result, and as a collectible, his value is only in the past few years when he is the most beautiful. .I never thought of bringing him with me forever. Why do you think the law of contract will condense a new body for me? It is just to complete the task. That’s right, when he was the most beautiful woman in the world, He is the fiancée of 'Edmond Dantès', but that's all. The lifespan of a human being should match that of a human being. Don't you want a dragon with a lot of money to restrain its minions forever and be tied up by a human being? Is it?"

"But he doesn't have to be human."

Lilith retorted calmly: "You are already an adult, Your Majesty, our territory also needs a queen. At least I hope that before you die in this mission one day, you can see the birth of the next owner of the territory. Instead Waiting for you to throw him into gold coins to suffocate him on a whim, it is better to expand the value before he loses his life. I think, no matter from any angle, this will be a good choice."

Edmund sneered, and a flash of lightning flashed in his dark eyes: "Think of an excuse to convince me, Lilith. I'm very interested in your suggestion."

Lilith saluted gracefully and said, "Thank you for your generosity, Your Majesty. Have you noticed the color of Ulysses' hair and eyes?"

Edmund raised his eyebrows slightly.Ulysses' hair color and eye color are very special, different from most humans in this world.The reason why his appearance is so prominent is also related to these two points.That moonlight-like long hair is not like ordinary humans, but very similar to the group of moon elves in the Moonlight Forest... The iron-gray eyes added a bit of courage and coldness to him, and the familiar color would even make him Edmund thought of Schuster.

The God of Contract also has such a pair of cold eyes, as if always aloof, without any emotion.The only difference from Ulysses is that his eyes are always shining with countless laws and regulations, which is the embodiment of contract priesthood...

A thought suddenly flashed through Edmond's mind—wait a minute, priesthood?

Lilith waited patiently for him to finish thinking, and inserted her own opinion just right: "The laws of this plane once gave birth to some weak and inferior gods, but they have fallen one after another thousands of years ago, and there are still some gods here. A large number of human beings believe in light, but no gods will win if they continue. If the god of light finds out about this plane, it is inevitable that he will not intervene... But now, if there is His Royal Highness Ulysses, we don’t have to worry about this problem .”

"You mean, let Ulysses absorb the power of the godhead and embark on the road to becoming a god?"

Edmund frowned.This idea is indeed good. There are many descendants of the God of Light, and there are also many subordinate gods in charge of the priesthood of light. In this undiscovered plane, if there is such a god in charge of light, he must not be able to find it.If Ulysses can be used by them, it is not impossible to kill one or two unknown gods and prop him up.Anyway, the relationship between the God of Contract and the God of Light has always been bad, so take this opportunity to infiltrate the power of God of Light.

What's more, a name can often reflect the essence of a person's soul. In this world, Ulysses means a hater, a wise and brave person, and in the Ryan plane, it has another meaning: the Iron Herald.With these eyes alone, Ulysses is enough to win the favor of the god of contract, and his soul is undoubtedly very suitable for accepting the priesthood of the contract family...

Edmund narrowed his eyes slightly.This idea is very good, a new god who has both the priesthood of contract and the priesthood of light... With the help of Ulysses, he can control this rich plane to the maximum extent.But the premise is that Ulysses can indeed be used by him.

And the best way to bind Ulysses is to conclude a marriage contract.If Ulysses really becomes another master of the Seventh Territory of the Abyss, and even has a common heir with him, of course everything between them will be shared with each other without any grievances, and this world will of course become theirs. belonging assets.

And in this way, things have returned to what Lilith mentioned at the beginning—let Ulysses prolong his life, stand at the same height as Edmund, and give him the possibility of eternal life.

"Lilith..." Edmund stared at his fingers and said playfully, "How long have you been thinking about this?"

Lilith put away the Holy Light|Water, and bowed: "It starts with you making a bet for His Royal Highness Ulysses."

Edmund snorted inexplicably, and removed the barrier: "You should be thankful that you didn't make up your own mind like Patrick, Lilith."

He turned and walked towards Ulysses who was standing under a tree talking to Haidee, and casually shook his hands: "I like him, he is mine, and I am willing to think about more things... nothing else Reason. Your idea is indeed very tempting, Lilith, but I can have a collection that I just like, so why marry a wife who can’t love me so much that she is willing to sacrifice her soul?”

Demons are demons because they hate giving affection.If they get no more than they give, they will be greatly humiliated.This is nature, not sin.

He was indeed moved by this proposal...but to make it real, he had to wait until the day Ulysses became his "fiancée".

Behind him, Lilith snorted, and a black lightning split open her hand bones, leaving a black mark like a warning.

21. Chapter 21

Lilith quickly made Edmond understand what the inevitability of genetic inheritance is.

Edmond likes to deal with smart people, because the smarter they are, the less trouble they have to talk to, and they will use their smart minds to understand the facts.He didn't explain to Ulysses why they were the only ones who fled, but he left the dozens of loyal servants in the house, and Ulysses automatically understood that this was for the convenience of escape— — After all, the fleeing of dozens of people is much more noisy than a carriage driving out of the city gate.

By analogy, Ulysses felt that Edmund must have planned to escape.The tents and daily necessities that Lilith took out from the carriage as if by magic prove this point.Maybe it's because the superior is naturally cold-blooded, he doesn't care about the life and death of those servants; but at the same time, he also feels that those servants are indeed well-trained, it's a pity to lose them, Edmond must have made some arrangements for them in advance. Flee without fear.

— Even if he was killed, those servants were staying in a ring on Lilith's hand.

Inferring from this, since Edmund has long planned to escape and has abundant financial resources, then he must have planned the route long ago, and maybe there will be someone to respond to him when he arrives at a certain place... It was based on this kind of thinking that Ulysses suppressed the unease in his heart, talked with his sister for a while, and then sat near the tent and ate the dishes Lilith sent.

Dinner is honey barbecue. The meat comes from a delicious meaty beast that is common in the abyss, and the honey is moonlight nectar produced in the Moonlight Forest. Coupled with Lilith's skillful cooking, the taste is of course full of praise.

Edmund knew that it was because Lilith hadn't given up, and he used this to remind himself to seize the opportunity.He gave Lilith a warning look, casually fished out a bottle of wine from the tent, uncorked the bottle and poured a glass, and began to savor it leisurely.

Ulysses glanced at him strangely.On the way to escape, he was still in the mood to taste good wine. Should I say that Edmond was too well prepared or too relaxed?

Noticing his gaze, Edmond raised his glass and said, "Would you like a drink?"

Ulysses endured it, and finally couldn't hold it back, and asked, "If I remember correctly, we are on the way to escape now?"

Edmund said with a smile: "Even if you are a carrot, don't doubt your own head casually. Dear Ulysses, both I and Lilith are happy to prove to you that your memory is correct."

Ulysses: "..." Carrot, your sister! ! !

Haiidee, who was still tense at the beginning, has gradually relaxed now.She took off her veil, took small bites of a piece of barbecue, and thanked Lilith gratefully when she handed her a drink.

Only she was still sitting close to Ulysses, as if afraid of being left behind again.Seeing this scene, even the most hard-hearted person will feel a little tenderness... However, neither Edmond nor Lilith is human in essence, so after talking to her for a few words, Lilith found out A little womanly conversation brought Haidee aside, so that Edmund and Ulysses might be alone.

The lesson just now didn't make Lilith restrain at all, this scheming Lich has never given up until she achieves her goals.Edmund has lived with her for hundreds of years, and has long been familiar with her temper. Since deterrence fails, he has to think of other ways to make her stop.

Edmund yawned lazily, put the gold cup in his hand aside, and his mental power spread instantly.A few miles away, several hounds that were searching for the target trembled one after another, then barked wildly, and rushed towards this direction excitedly.

He is never willing to make a problem that can be solved in a simple way complicated.Perhaps it was because he had seen through the essence of Edmond's soul long ago that Shustar named him Asidia (lazy)... However, as he himself said, the meaning of this name is too obvious Now, although demons don't die easily, they will always feel uncomfortable if their weaknesses are mastered.

Haidee was taken away by Lilith, leaving only Edmund and the two of them alone, and Ulysses couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed.The touch that stayed on his lips a few hours ago seemed to still be left at this moment. The more he tried to convince himself not to care, the more he couldn't help but recall Edmond's pair of black eyes that were so close... The silence permeated for a moment open.

After estimating the speed of the pursuers, Edmond raised the wine bottle and asked succinctly, "Come on?"

"No, thank you for your generosity." Ulysses said dryly.Now he can't wait to run away from Edmund for eight nautical miles. Lovely Edmund saved him first, and then saved Haiidee at a huge price...Although Edmund kept saying that Haiidee was the purpose of his coming to Turkey, but For this kindness, Ulysses could not be too rude no matter what.

So he paused, his eyes moved to the wine bottle, and asked in a little surprise: "Cyprus wine?"

Cyprus is a famous wine producing area. It is said that the history of wine making is longer than the life of Venus. It was once the most popular table wine on the table of the Pharaoh.Introduced by Jacob, Patrick obtained a lot of high-quality reserves for Edmund, and because the taste was really good, Edmund used it as a daily drink.

Having seen Edmund's financial means, Ulysses was not surprised to see this famous wine.He just showed a surprised expression on purpose, trying to drive away the embarrassment.

Edmund was well aware of his psychological changes, and he only raised his eyebrows when he heard the words, without saying anything: "It seems that Abdullah hasn't treated you badly in the past few years."

Ulysses' complexion changed, and he said calmly, "Maybe."

It's good that Edmund didn't mention this, but as soon as he mentioned this, Ulysses remembered Abdullah's original purpose of buying him, and then couldn't help but put his thoughts on Edmund's god to kiss On... Although he comforted himself that this was just a last resort, and Edmund might not have had that thought, Ulysses couldn't help feeling annoyed when he saw his nonchalant face!

Using some secret method to quietly shorten a piece of land, Edmond seemed not to notice Ulysses' anger at all, and said with a smile: "But anyway, you were also a former Greek prince. What's next? Do you plan? To contact your father's old department and plan to make a comeback, or to take Haidai away?"

Ulysses was startled: "...Is there any conflict?"

"If you want to fight against the Ottoman Empire, let's not talk about whether the strength in your hands is enough, you are already skinny and tender enough, and bring a pampered and raised Haiidee... Do you feel like Ottoman?" Such a big empire is simply not enough, or do you think you and your sister died not fast enough?"

The corners of Edmond's lips retracted, revealing a look similar to sarcasm: "Don't tell me you are ready to fight, you are a true warrior, Ulysses... Even if you can succeed, leave it to What are Hai Dai's chances? How many people do you think will think she is a rare commodity, and how many people think she will be an effective bargaining chip to contain you?"

Ulysses fell silent.Edmund was right.He was struggling to get away before, and he only thought about plotting revenge as soon as possible after escaping, but he never thought about the role his sister would play in his revenge... As an older brother, he didn't think about these issues, but he and Hai Dai never thought about it. Edmund who met had thought a lot about her.For a moment, his mood became complicated, and he couldn't help looking at Edmund and saying, "Then, if I..."

Edmond's eyes suddenly narrowed, and he grabbed him and jumped up.Suddenly a group of birds flew in the woods not far away. Edmond threw the wine bottle into the river and shouted, "Get in the car!"

Lilith, who was having a friendly exchange with Haide about the girl's thoughts, still had a gentle smile on her face, but suddenly stepped forward, bent her knees, twisted Haiide's arm, turned around, and volleyed her into Edmond's arms.Before Haidee's exclamation came out of her throat, she was stuffed into the carriage, and then Edmond himself jumped up and closed the door.After a few breaths, the two demon horses suddenly raised their hooves and let out a roar, turned around and rushed towards the predetermined direction.

Ulysses collected himself and looked out through the car window.Edmund found out at the right time. As soon as the carriage drove onto the road, a cloud of smoke rushed out of the woods. Several ferocious hounds ran ahead, followed by a group of people led by Muhammad.

Muhammad actually caught up with him himself!

Ulysses frowned, and the unease that was suppressed in his heart was gradually enlarged.He expected that what Edmond did would arouse Muhammad's anger, but he could never have imagined that Muhammad would catch up with him himself...

Of course Edmund also noticed his puzzlement, but this time he didn't mean to guide Ulysses' thinking.If a lie is too perfect, it will show flaws instead. It is better to let Ulysses confuse this imperfection so that he can ignore other doubts.

After Muhammad rushed out of the woods, looking at the bonfire that had not been extinguished in the open space and the back of the carriage driving away with dust, his pale face became even uglier.He held the rein and shook his body, as if he was about to fall off the horse at any moment, and raised his whip tremblingly: "Chasing!"

He was full of hatred for Edmund now!A thousand cuts to pieces is not enough to describe his anger towards Edmond!When he rushed to Edmund's mansion with his old subordinates, ready to catch all the wealth and beauties, he kicked open the gate of the mansion, but saw his father, the great Ottoman Emperor Mahmoud II Shizheng rolled into a ball with a voluptuous woman naked!

At that moment, the look that Sudan cast on him made Muhammad understand that if there was any hope of restarting his previous political career, now this hope is gone with the action of him kicking open the door!

Whether it is disturbing the good things of the sultan or calling the guards without authorization, it is an intolerable crime in the eyes of the sultan!Even for the sake of being his beloved son, Muhammad can only save one life at most!

After realizing this, Muhammad almost frantically used the last bit of time to gather all the strength he could find, and followed the clues that Edmund had left.His hatred for Edmund had reached its peak at this time, even if he knew that he would receive a more serious punishment when he returned to Istanbul, he still wanted Edmund to be whipped to death!

He didn't have time to think about why the sultan appeared in Edmond's mansion, and why the enchanting beauty in his arms had a moonlight blond hair, and his appearance was exactly the same as he had seen before... If he could In retrospect, I wouldn't feel any surprise, but I would just feel that Edmund was using that gamble to plot against him, killing two birds with one stone, with the purpose of getting Vaseriki's daughter Haidee.

But Lilith knew the whole story, because the one who "accidentally" bumped into the arms of Sudan in micro-clothes on the street, and "accidentally" tore off the veil to reveal his true face, seduced Sudan to go home with her, and went to bed before he could enter the bedroom. In the foyer, there was a burst of abyss banshee, who was specially selected from the territory by Edmond's order.

This trick is indeed very easy to use, almost solving all future troubles, and bringing countless benefits.It's just that if Mahmud II knew that the beauty who fell in love with him at first sight and was so charming that he almost drove him crazy has no real flesh on his body, and his real appearance can scare the bravest soldiers in the entire empire to tears, would he still treat her? The idea of ​​becoming a queen...is unknown.

Although Muhammad chased him in time and Edmund released the water, the moment Lilith saw him appear, Lilith ordered the two demon horses to speed up.The running speed of monsters is incomparable to that of steeds. Their carriage left the pursuers far behind in the blink of an eye. Lilith had to use her mental power to control the speed while pumping the horse's hooves. Fortunately, Ulysses and Haidee did not notice anything abnormal.

After Muhammad appeared, Lilith realized that her previous actions were completely superfluous.It is true that Ulysses' future is beyond her control, but since Edmund is not afraid to spend time solving relationship problems, the appearance of the lord's wife must be just around the corner.Most demons are indeed very unscrupulous, but the dragon race, whether it is a flesh-and-blood dragon or an abyss bone dragon, has a fine tradition of monogamy.

Seeing this, she no longer made small moves, but began to actively cooperate with Edmund's plan.After all, she is an old partner who has cooperated for hundreds of years. She secretly used her mental power to drag a few dark clouds, which tightly blocked the sky, and then parked the carriage in a place that seemed quite hidden, wiping sweat with a pale face. Zhu opened the car door, frowned and said, "My lord, it looks like it's going to rain, shall we stop here for a while?"

The reason for stopping was to give Muhammad time to chase after them. They left a lot of things in that place. As long as there are hunting dogs with good noses, even if they can't get here, Lilith still has a way for them to find it.

Seeing that Lilith fully understood her intentions, Edmund nodded in satisfaction: "Just stay here for one night."

Ulysses wanted to stop, but the words came to his lips, but he swallowed them again.Since it was going to rain soon, it was definitely inconvenient to travel, and it would be much more difficult for Muhammad and the others to find this place.There are few people around here, and there are no beasts infested, so they have almost nothing to worry about.

After they all got out of the car, Lilith got into the car, opened the car seat, pretended to take out another roll of tent from the dark compartment, and set it up on the open space.

Ulysses was curious, and asked casually, "Did we bring a lot of tents like this?"

Before he knew it, he had started using the term "we".

Edmund leaned against the carriage and said casually: "There are not many, there are about seven or eight sets of field supplies."

Ulysses: "..."

For some reason, he suddenly had an unusually ominous premonition.

22. Chapter 22

Ulysses' hunch was right.Because according to Edmund's script, they encountered six pursuits one after another.Lilith also threw away the six beautifully crafted tents, and her expression became more and more "haggard" day by day.Because they were afraid of being caught by others, they didn't go into the city along the way, but occasionally replenished some water in small villages.But despite Lilith's superb skills and Haide's cooking skills, within a few days, they still felt overwhelmed.

The siblings Ulysses and Haidee were originally slender and slender, and they have lost weight in the past few days; Needless to say, Lilith, who is driving and managing life, seems to have no Ulysses at all. The demeanor when I first met her; and considering that they have all changed, it is unreasonable for me not to change at all, Edmund has also become a lot "haggard", and his expression has gradually become gloomy and cruel, which is very shocking to see.

It is said that the fastest way to cultivate friendship is to share weal and woe. In the past few days Ulysses abandoned his squeamishness and ate and slept with Edmond, but he really moved a little bit.He saw with his own eyes that Edmund sprinkled a lot of gold coins in order to let him get away, and watched with his own eyes that Edmond became gloomy day by day...

The heir of a big family, the obvious dandy, has been with him for such a long time and never left him, even knowing that he and Haiidee are burdens, but he did not abandon them... Ulysses had to be shook.

Why did Edmund treat him so well?There are indeed things in him that can be invested, but the risk of doing so is simply incomparable with Edmond's strong financial resources... And what else is there?

Ulysses forbade himself to think about it any further.Maybe Edmund did this for Haidee's sake. After all, he has a beautiful butler like Lilith by his side, so he is not like the princes of the Ottoman Empire who are interested in men... If he really devoted himself to the great cause of restoring the country , It is still unknown which day she will die, and it may be a good choice to entrust Haiidee to Edmund at that time.

In any case, it can be seen from the experience during this period that Edmund is a responsible person.Under his protection, even knowing that the outside world is precarious, Ulysses feels unusually at ease... But the more he is like this, the more difficult it is for him to face the strangeness that is gradually sprouting in his heart, and he quickly begins to escape. .

They were close to port when Ulysses began to change.Edmund noticed the change in him, estimated the time and distance again, and felt that it was about time to close the net.

In the past few days, he has manipulated the tracking and anti-tracking seven times with one hand, and he has had a lot of fun.At first it was just camping and being chased after dinner, and then it turned into being awakened by the sound of horseshoes in the middle of the night and fleeing, and then some villagers reported, the carriage got stuck in a pit, and they drove overnight in the pouring rain to get rid of the pursuers, driving up the mountain road and almost escaped. Falling into a cliff and so on, almost every trick has been played by Edmond, and the whole process can be called thrilling.

And "common weal and woe" did greatly promote the relationship between the Ulysses brothers and sisters, Edmund, and Lilith. Lilith liked Haiide more and more, and almost wanted to abduct her as her daughter-in-law. Secretly hinting that Edmund is going to transform her into a lich.Regarding this proposal, Edmund just pretended not to hear it—what a joke, if Ulysses saw his delicate sister turned into a pale skeleton, would he not shoot Edmund's arm with one shot?

Speaking of the gun, Muhammad was probably also annoyed by Edmond and the others who seemed to be getting it, but escaped at the moment they got it, and their actions became more and more impolite. The gun has been moved for the second time.The frame that Edmund used to escape this time was only an ordinary item ordered from this plane, and its defense power was insufficient. If it hadn't been for the use of magic, I'm afraid they would really have a few more holes in their bodies.

Lilith used long-distance sound transmission to communicate with the servants, and learned that Jacob had brought his yacht to the port and was ready to set sail at any time, so she whispered to Edmond.

Ulysses has very complicated thoughts recently. Seeing Lilith suddenly come over and say a few words to Edmund, and Edmund showed a more gloomy expression, he couldn't help sinking in his heart, and asked, "Is there another one?" What news?"

The escape of the past few days also made him realize that Lilith seems to have a unique intelligence network in her hands, and she can always get certain information at unexpected times.Ulysses felt that if it were not for this information, their escape would not have gone so smoothly.

Edmund glanced at him, hesitated to speak, with a complicated expression: "...it's nothing."

Ulysses looked at him distrustfully: "Really? ——Is it because Muhammad and the others are about to catch up again?"

"No." Edmond frowned and looked away, "You don't need to think about these things for now."

In a hurry, Ulysses grabbed | his shoulder: "Is there something wrong with the person who responded?"

He didn't realize that the distance between himself and Edmund was extremely close at this moment, completely breaking the boundary that he had secretly set.Edmund finally said a few more words this time. He looked at Ulysses' hand on his shoulder and smiled helplessly: "You think too much, nothing happened."

There was a relaxed smile on his face, and he waved his hands: "Although the Monte Cristo family is a new name, the background is still quite rich. I have already asked my followers to wait at the port by boat. As long as we can reach the port... ..."

The more relaxed he was, the more suspicious Ulysses grew.Before Edmund could finish speaking, he interrupted: "Really? But if there are no ships in the port..."

Edmund slowly lost his smile again: "...then we have to resign ourselves to fate."

Ulysses pursed his lips and let go.They were obviously about to escape... Why did something go wrong at this time!

"Is there any other way?" He seemed to be talking to himself, "If... I contact those people..."

"Don't be stupid, Ulysses." Edmund said coldly, "How do you contact them in such a short period of time, and how do you want them to prepare?"

Ulysses said anxiously: "Then what should we do?"

"I'll figure it out." Edmund said without a doubt, "You don't need to worry about this."

Edmund and Lilith bit their ears twice more, each time with a more serious face, and Ulysses was more worried each time.Lilith didn't seem to report any good news, he
