[Count of Monte Cristo] Archon

In any case, today is a very suitable day for walking.

Celestial bodies such as the "sun" and "moon" seem to exist for the natives of some planes for granted, and if they disappear for a moment, they will panic, thinking that they have offended the gods; From a human point of view, they are just two bright planets, no different from other stars; and on a complex plane like the Ryan plane, just as all laws can find their origin on it, various views They all coexist in this peculiar mother world.

Edmund is neither the former nor the latter.At one time when he was a child, he was very close to those planets and stars, and even playfully arranged their orbits.But after he moved back to the abyss from the contract temple, he was rarely able to enjoy the bright sunshine and graceful moonlight—because in the abyss, there will always be only the sinful blood moon, and the curse it emits even makes many abyssal races It's very uncomfortable, let alone like it.

And on this undeveloped plane, the sun contains a very pure light power, and the moon has an additional layer of pure darkness in addition to the light, which makes the abyss bone dragon feel very comfortable.He stretched out his hand and summoned a gust of wind, dispelling the dark clouds above his head.The slightly dim moonlight poured down from the clear sky, and was absorbed into the body smoothly with the operation of magic power.

Following the direction from the magic imprint, Edmund walked towards the interior of Izmir City.

The closed city gate was nothing to him, and the drowsy guard who was leaning against the wall with his weapon in his hands certainly couldn't find this unexpected visitor.The Abyss Bone Dragon radiated its spiritual power outwards without any scruples, and the spiritual threads formed a huge net that was not leaking, covering the entire city in an instant.

The magic power was compressed into this human body and could not be used arbitrarily, but Edmond still had a very powerful soul.In this world where the gods have long since fallen, nothing can threaten Edmund except the laws of this world.

He casually launched his mental power, ready to see how far Ulysses had progressed, and then decide when a hero would appear to save the beauty.Although the progress of the matter was somewhat unexpected, it was not out of control.Judging from the contents of the previous conversation and letter, Ulysses should have left with the idea of ​​sacrificing himself in order to repay Edmund’s kindness and make it impossible for Edmund to refuse the request to raise Haidee as an adult. .And in order to achieve this goal, it is a good choice to have a vigorous prison robbery and die in front of Edmond's "loyal men"...

Edmund shook his head, calmly locked the position of the prison, and was about to move over to see where he was going.Although there was a deviation in the plan, fortunately it was not serious. Didn’t Ulysses want to sacrifice himself? It didn’t matter. As long as Edmond rescued him “with all his strength” before that, he could still be “dying” again. Making a request, even doing so is a bit more natural than his original plan, because people will never doubt...

……my own……! ?

The great abyssal bone dragon, His Majesty Edmund II, the "lazy" lord, stood there dumbfounded, letting his mental power hang over the prison for a long time.Cold and damp | Prisoners lying everywhere in the damp prison, two beggars fighting over the ownership of a louse, a weed swaying in the wind by the base of the wall...even the grease stains on the jailer's nails.Under the influence of mental power, no matter how tiny the details are, they cannot escape his sight.

He even "heard" the knocking of the keys on the jailer's waist, "saw" a gnat flying out of the ditch, and the place where Jacob and others were held was also very clear... However, in this place full of Among the thousands of things that surround the prison, there is no Ulysses!

Edmund realized almost immediately that he seemed to have thought something wrong, and his mental power followed the direction of the magic imprint to trace the past.He purposely admired the beauty of the moonlight on the road, in order to leave time for Ulysses to be a hero, but he did not expect that Ulysses did not rush to the prison, but went to another place...

During the few days of fleeing, Ulysses also briefly mentioned the power in his hands.Ali Pasha's old department was hidden very carefully, and Ulysses had to go through a lot of hardships to contact him.If he could rely on their strength, Ulysses would rather treat himself badly than let his sister suffer along with her; Send her away, instead of entrusting her to Edmond with almost nowhere to go...

... But if it wasn't for robbing the prison, and if it wasn't for going to find his father's old department, what would Ulysses be doing? ...

The question turned in my mind, and with the development of mental power, Edmund's face quickly darkened - Ulysses actually went to the city lord's mansion, and standing in front of him was Muhammad!

Thinking about it with scales, he knew that he would never assassinate Muhammad, let alone negotiate with the other party without fear, so he decided that he would "sacrifice" himself and let Edmond and the others get out of trouble...

A faint phantom flashed in the air.In the next second, Edmond's body disappeared in place.

-

As Muhammad said, in the eyes of many truly powerful people, Mustafa's father was a lagging dog, and Mustafa himself, as a descendant of a lagging dog, was of course a embarrassed animal.

If it weren't for being looked down upon all the time, Mustafa wouldn't have been aroused with such great ambitions, and he only wanted to get a real high position.But no matter how much effort he was determined to put in for power, no matter what, he was pampered and grew up in a favorable environment.If he is the son of the sultan, he may not be much restrained than Muhammad.

So after Muhammad's repeated humiliation, Mustafa naturally felt revenge.And the best way to get revenge on Muhammad is to let the other party think that he has a sure chance of winning, and fall from a high place to hurt the last time.He took out a lot of things from Muhammad's servants. Knowing the Sudan quite well, he could of course guess that Muhammad would not have a better time this time, so he handed over his olive branch.But he never imagined that Mohammed's arrogance was still the same as it was at the end of the road.

It must be because it was too easy for him to be delivered to the door, so Muhammad looked down upon him so much... Mustafa's eyes were gloomy, and his thin fingers slowly tightened.In that case, let's create a little trouble...for example, from the group of people in the prison.

Important prisoners generally do not stay in the city, so Izmir's prison is not far from the city lord's mansion.Within a few minutes, the carriage stopped at the gate of the prison.Mustafa stepped on the servant's back from the carriage and entered the prison.After hearing the news, the warden rushed forward to pay a visit. After hearing about his intention, he respectfully took him to the door of the cell where Jacob and the others were held.

Although Muhammad didn't take him seriously, Mustafa is still a very feared emperor in Izmir.

Izmir is a port city, the environment of the cell is cold and damp|damp, and the smell is certainly not pleasant.Mustafa covered his mouth and nose in disgust, and was not interested in stepping up to take a closer look, but just called the jailer over and asked a few questions.

The jailer was also quite curious about this group of people, so he paid more attention to it before, but he didn't expect it to come in handy, so he quickly told what he observed.Jacob and the others are very different from ordinary prisoners. They have been very calm from the moment they were arrested to when they were imprisoned.They didn't cry out for grievances like innocent businessmen, nor did they look ferocious like real pirates. Instead, they calmly settled down in the cells as if they were sure they would leave unscathed.

It was their quietness that made the jailer notice them.From the beginning to the end, they didn't talk much, sitting like ghosts in the dripping cell.The only one who moved was their captain, the man with the big beard.He sat in a corner in a weird pose, praying in a low voice devoutly.

To push Muhammad to that point, the people behind them must not be simple.The performance of this group of sailors also seemed to confirm Mustafa's guess. If they weren't confident, how could these people be so calm?

Then kill these people in the name of Muhammad, and let the people behind them trouble Muhammad.When Muhammad is really desperate, he will of course know what is the best choice for him.

Mustafa was quite satisfied with the results of this inspection. He waved his hand in a good mood and said loudly, "These vicious pirates, let's hang them in front of the pier tomorrow morning!"

Many of the sleeping prisoners heard these words and opened their sleepy eyes to look outside.However, there was still no movement in the cell where the group of sailors were imprisoned. Those people still lay there motionless as if they had not heard Mustafa's voice at all.

Only the jailer mentioned, the bearded captain opened his eyes and glanced at Mustafa expressionlessly.

Mustafa couldn't help feeling a little strange in his heart, and left behind him in an instant, walking outside.

His good mood only lasted until the moment before he boarded the carriage.A loud noise came from the City Lord's Mansion, and the gorgeous flames lit up half of the sky.I don't know if it's an illusion or reality, Mustafa seemed to see a huge pale shadow jumping out of the fire, and disappeared into the sky in an instant.

The prison warden also saw this scene, and pointed to the sky, dumbfounded: "Mu, Mu, Mustafa Pasha..."

He didn't notice that Mustafa was shaking even at the tips of his fingers.

He had seen this strange effect when he was attacking Yani with the army!Only the explosion of a huge amount of gunpowder can produce such a spectacular scene!

And in the City Lord's Mansion, Mustafa, who has always been quite disdainful of gunpowder weapons, would not store such things!He has always been cautious, and he is good at both sides, and has never offended anyone... In other words, the other party is all for Muhammad!

In a blink of an eye, he thought of the young man he met when he left the mansion, and the plain expression he had just glimpsed on the prisoner's face... Could it be that Muhammad had just threatened death in the afternoon, and there were less than a dozen of them? Had he been harvested for revenge when he was young? ?

"Mu..."

"Go back!" Mustafa suddenly screamed, his voice changed, "Go back! Go back to prison! Damn it, who gave you permission to arrest those well-intentioned and innocent people!? Best for those innocent sailors Treatment! No... vacate your own house and invite them over like VIPs!!"
