[Third chapter, four chapters tomorrow. Thank you everyone for your tips. It's like being hit on the head by a piece of firewood. I'm much more clear-headed … I originally planned to write earlier tomorrow, but I have to go get my ID. Sigh, four chapters won't be less. Don't worry.]
Two hundred kilometers behind the storm zone, a forty-meter-long small ship chased after the storm. On the bow of the ship, a young man, wearing a thick black cloak, crossed his arms in front of his chest, pressing down on the cloak. Looking at his expression, he seemed to feel very cold.
This young man's appearance was typical of the Tanggulas people. His facial features were distinct, his nose was high, his hair was dark brown, and his eyes were also brown with a hint of gold.
Behind the young man stood four soldiers in black armor. The equipment of these four soldiers was very distinctive. There was a huge emblem brand on their chest armor. Above their helmets, there were tall spikes that looked like single-horned demons.
There were also many such metal spikes at the joints of the black armor. On the front of the helmet, there was a mask full of small holes. These were the experts among the prison guards. The small holes on their masks were inlaid with precious crystals. This kind of mask could clearly see from a wider angle. It required a certain special skill to analyze the large number of images obtained.
The small warship was extremely fast. The large storm zone controlled by the eye of the storm pressed forward at more than one hundred and fifty kilometers per hour. This small warship still followed behind unhurriedly. The young man in the black cloak suddenly sneezed and smiled. His face was very clean, and his expression was relaxed. There was no gloominess that was commonly seen in the people of the inquisition.
The sea breeze was strong, but it was separated in front of the small warship. The young man's clear eyes looked into the distance. The four prison guards behind him did not say a word. They stood there like four mountains.
The young man suddenly said, "Hunting is the most boring thing. Lives disappear in your hands. It's too cruel. Lord Warden clearly knows that I don't like this kind of action, but he still sent me out. It's obvious that he doesn't want to catch that thing. "
There was a rustling sound from the four iron armors. It was obvious that the four prison guards were not used to such rebellious words. Who was Lord Warden? He was an existence that could not be disobeyed, just like the Chief Inquisitor. In the inquisition, the position of Warden was equal to that of the Chief Inquisitor. Black Prison had always been the most important force in the Inquisition.
This young man's words were obviously mocking the Warden. However, this young man's status was also very high. The four prison leaders couldn't afford to offend him. They didn't even dare to go back and report to the Warden. If they went back and said that they had appeared, the warden would most likely kill all four of them and pretend that nothing had happened.
"You guys are so boring. You don't even know how to speak. You still don't know about this thing, right? If it weren't for me, we wouldn't have been able to develop it. It's a pity that there are too many loopholes. Even if we can defeat the Yun Liu people's fleet, we can't deal with the Ironblood Duke's warship. The more hope the Head Judge placed in this thing, the angrier he would be when he failed. Do you understand? At that time, even I will be implicated. I might as well let it escape. This is not my responsibility. "
At the mention of the Chief Inquisitor, the four prison guards became even more silent. Of the six chief judges, only three have been retained in the past hundred years. The Chief Inquisitor was the god of the Inquisition. Other than the Warden, no one else dared to go against him. A few years ago, two Chief Inquisitors died. The two who replaced them were even fiercer than the previous Chief Inquisitors.
In the Inquisition, you could have everything except for a sense of security. If you angered the Chief Inquisitor, you had three choices. The first was to be tortured to death by the Chief Inquisitor's people. The second was to be sent to the Black Prison as research material. The third choice, which was also what most people chose, was to commit suicide before they were caught.
Under such circumstances, the hearts of the people in the Inquisition were rarely not twisted. They acted without scruples. Even the mages in the Cardinal Institute didn't want to provoke the Inquisition.
After the young man finished mocking the Chief Inquisitor, he said, "The Pope is also too much. He insisted on making peace with the Inquisition. Isn't it good for both sides to be in a stalemate? He can even get rid of some useless rubbish. Now that they've made peace, what's the use of going against the Qinyin Empire? Unless we can find a way to take down Sacred Rock City, a city like that on the continent won't be afraid of being besieged. Even if it's besieged for a thousand years, it won't starve to death. At the end of the day, if Sacred Rock City and Alchemy City can't be taken down, this Sacred War will be a joke. "
This time, the young man not only directly denied the Pope, but also talked nonsense about the Sacred War. The four prison leaders wanted to jump into the sea and be done with it. How could they pretend that they didn't hear such words?
However, this young man was the only candidate for the position of the next warden.
The position of warden was different from that of the Chief Inquisitor. There was only one warden. Once a candidate was chosen, no matter what the current warden did, he would have to step down after 20 years to make room for the new warden.
Therefore, the old warden would do his best to train the candidate. 20 years was to let the candidate mature. Then, the old warden would step down and become one of the elders in the Black Prison, concentrating on his training.
Most of the Chief Inquisitors died in battle, and most of the wardens died of old age.
This young man was the future warden. If anyone wanted to touch him, they would have to ask the elders in the Black Prison for permission. To become a warden, one had to be a Level Nine expert with a lifespan of a thousand years. How long had the Black Prison existed? How many Level Nine experts would there be if a warden changed every 20 years?
"Huh? Why did it change direction? " The young man was keenly aware that the core of the hurricane controlled by the Eye of the Storm was changing direction and heading northeast. He didn't care, but this time, the Eye of the Storm fled to the west.
The sea in the west was not very peaceful. Otherwise, why would Yun Liu be so polite? He would have acted as a pirate and constantly harassed it. The Inquisitor also took advantage of the geographical location and used the Black Prison Island and hundreds of surrounding islands to form an island chain of more than 3000 miles long, blocking the route of Yun Liu.
The end of the island chain was more than a thousand miles away from the Silent Ocean. Even so, Yun Liuren was too lazy to take the risk. The area of the Silent Ocean was not fixed. If they entered the Silent Ocean, the loss would be too great.
The sea in the west was the most dangerous place on the Myers Continent, a hundred times more dangerous than the Sea of Storms in the east. The Eye of the Storm was intelligent, and its judgment was excellent. How could it escape to the west?
No matter how outstanding this young man was, he wouldn't know that there was a strange warship seven hundred miles away, which was valued by the Eye of the Storm and wanted to be used as a scapegoat. Usually, there wouldn't be any ships in this part of the sea.
The Inquisitor soon learned of the Metatlin Kingdom's attack on Iron Wall City, but the people of Black Prison wouldn't think of this. Because no one saw the ancient warship and the dragon skeleton warship. The North Sea was full of icebergs, floating ice, and powerful magical beasts. In the hearts of the Tanggulas people, it was common knowledge that warships couldn't pass through the North Sea. It was a forbidden area for ships.
In the Eye of the Storm, the soul was still constantly calling for help, but Salin pretended not to hear it. His dragon skeleton warship was getting faster and faster, and he was not stingy with level-12 magic cores.
The dragon skeleton warship reached an astonishing speed of 200 miles per hour. If it was in the water, the warship would have to bear too much force at this time, and the consumption would probably be higher than flying in the sea.
"Master, it's not a good idea to run like this. Why don't we submerge in the water?" Nelis suggested.
"Okay, let's increase the distance." Salin was also annoyed. The Eye of the Storm was definitely flying faster than the dragon skeleton warship, but for some reason, it could only stare at the tail of his warship and maintain a distance of about 15 miles.
The dragon skeleton warship accelerated again. Salin summoned Winnie and asked her to hold the miniature magic cannon. The magic cannon couldn't lock onto small targets, but the Eye of the Storm had a diameter of one mile. Even if it hit the elemental shell, it could still slow down.
The leader of the earth elemental creatures, Winnie, came to the back deck of the dragon skeleton warship with ease. Her lower body turned into a cannon, and she set up the miniature magic cannon. The miniature magic cannon had been replaced with level-12 magic cores twice, and there were still some magic cores left.
Although the Eye of the Storm was intelligent and saw the changes on the dragon skeleton warship, it didn't recognize the miniature magic cannon. Winnie fired the cannon and accurately hit the center of the Eye of the Storm. The wind element that was hundreds of meters thick was shot out, and a hole dozens of meters deep was formed. The surrounding wind element couldn't replenish the hole in a short time.
Winnie kept firing emotionlessly. The miniature magic cannon was very powerful, but the wind element was shockingly thick. The distance from the outer layer to the core was more than 400 meters. In order to penetrate such a thick wind element defense, a large magic cannon had to be used. However, even Salin couldn't replicate the miniature magic cannon, not to mention the large magic cannon.
The dozen consecutive shots all hit the wind element shell. The Eye of the Storm suffered a great blow. It also consumed energy to condense the wind element shell, so it slowed down unconsciously. Salin took the opportunity to decelerate the dragon skeleton warship.
A distance of five kilometers was the limit of the miniature magic cannon. If it was too far away, the miniature magic cannon wouldn't be a threat to the Eye of the Storm. Just like that, the magic cannon kept firing, and the dragon skeleton warship and the Eye of the Storm slowed down.
In the core of the Eye of the Storm, the soul roared angrily. It didn't dare to speed up, because if it did, the wind element shell would either be penetrated or spread out, and it wouldn't be able to defend the front. If not for this concern, it would have caught up to the dragon skeleton warship long ago.
When the speed was reduced to about 20 kilometers, the dragon skeleton warship had already fallen into the sea and was moving underwater. The manufacturing process of the dragon skeleton warship was very complicated. After several modifications, it was still not a weapon suitable for underwater combat. However, the dragon skeleton warship wasn't for combat, but to avoid the hurricane. It simply gave up on speed and dived a hundred meters into the water, continuing westward at a speed of about 20 kilometers per hour.
The Eye of the Storm was getting more and more anxious. It could sense the specific location of the target, but it couldn't stop to attack the target in the water. The people chasing it were already within 50 kilometers.
On the small warship behind, the warden's successor, the young man in the black cloak, had already returned to his command cabin and began to issue battle orders.
