Han Jin controlled the ship to move slowly in the air. Below them, there was black fog everywhere. It was like a huge tortoise shell, completely covering an area of tens of miles. It was impossible to find the exact location of Fort Maxine. It was said that the Abyssal Mages would not be affected by the fog, but how would the people of Fort Maxine survive? They were all surface races!
"Sir, we are flying so low. What if we are attacked by the Abyssal Mages … What should we do?" Lang Ning said worriedly. There were hundreds of Abyssal Mages hidden in the black fog. Even with Guevara's strength, he was still at a disadvantage. He did not think that the ship's defense would be stronger than Guevara's.
"Sir Jeddes, do you have any ideas?" Han Jin's gaze fell on Jeddes.
"Light magic can indeed effectively suppress the growth of darkness, but I need a team of priests. The power of one person is still too insignificant," Jeddes softly replied as he observed the black fog below them.
"Since you don't have any ideas … I can only use my method." Han Jin paused and took out the Soul Devouring Orb from his space ring. He patted it lightly, and a cloud of black smoke floated out of the orb and formed Harley's body.
The spirit of the Soul Devouring Orb and Han Jin were telepathically connected. There was no need for Han Jin to explain anything. Harley's body gradually expanded, and finally became a giant skeleton that was tens of meters tall. However, the color of the black smoke became extremely faint, and it was almost impossible to see clearly.
Harley let out a low roar and suddenly exploded into a cloud of smoke. It floated down and finally merged with the black fog on the ground.
Han Jin slowly left his seat and walked to Jeddes' side. He looked down, and after a while, he suddenly said without thinking, "Aren't you going to say something to me?"
Jeddes was a smart man, and he immediately understood what Han Jin meant. A faint smile appeared on his face, "What do you want me to say to you?"
Han Jin shrugged. "I thought you hated all dark creatures."
Jeddis was silent for a moment, then smiled and said, "Yes, I dislike that Harley, but that's not a reason why I have to say or do anything. Haha … Nikola taught me a lot of things, especially the last time. He told me that he hates it when people tell him what to do. It can be said that he has endured it for a very, very long time. I won't make the same mistake again."
Han Jin stared blankly at the fog below and did not reply.
"Actually, nothing else is important. What's important is your character." Jeddes said slowly, "I see many precious things in your friends. They are simple, naive, kind, honest, and righteous. To be friends with them … Your heart must be very pure. Harley is just a weapon for you, isn't it?"
"Justice?" Han Jin couldn't help but smile sarcastically. Influenced by culture, he had always believed that there was little real justice in the world. The so-called "thief shall be punished", "thief shall be punished", "thief shall be punished", "thief shall be punished", "thief shall be punished", "thief shall be punished", "thief shall be punished", "thief shall be punished", "thief shall be punished", "thief shall be punished", "thief shall be punished", "thief shall be punished", and so on.
"This is the most important thing." Jeddes' expression became very serious. He also felt the frivolity and contempt in Han Jin's words. "At the very least, you must firmly believe that everything you do is righteous."
"If I think I'm righteous … then am I really righteous?" Han Jin asked with a smile.
"If you don't believe in yourself, will others believe in you?" Jeddes asked back.
"I understand." Han Jin was silent for a moment, then slowly nodded, then smiled and changed the topic. Some things were easy to understand, and it was not good to be too clear. "You just said … simple, naive, kind, and honest. Them? Tell me in detail, which one of them is naive? "
Sassoux, Morrisons, and the others hurriedly turned their heads. Other descriptions were fine, but for a group of adults, naive was almost equivalent to a derogatory term. No one wanted to be naive.
However, with Jeddes' personality, he would never speak nonsense. Someone had to stand up and take the blame, or Jeddes would point it out. Everyone looked at each other, and in the end, many people's eyes focused on Morrisons.
"What are you all looking at me for?!" Morrisons said angrily.
"Because you are naive," Sassoux said.
"And stupid," Léger also chimed in.
"Stupid and naive!" Gibran concluded.
"You … You …" Morrisons was angry and anxious. However, Sassoux and the others were indeed smarter than him, not to mention a cunning and evil guy like Gibran. In the past, he had been at a disadvantage the most. When everyone first came together, he could bully Sassoux, but that was because Sassoux did not guard against him. After a long time, he could not even beat Sassoux, and lost badly.
"Lord Raphael, do you know how Lola's Alliance was formed?" Jeddes did not pay attention to the boring joke.
"I don't know." Han Jin shook his head.
"If you can really defeat Zagunéd, you will know." After saying this, Jeddes closed his mouth and did not want to say anymore.
Han Jin's heart moved, and he could not help but fall into deep thought.
To be precise, it was all because of selfish desires and the desire for power! The civilians on the mainland hoped that the mainland would become a unified country and stop the endless killing. The middle class, such as some small landowners and merchants, also hoped that the mainland would be peaceful, and they could live safely and do business safely. However, the lords who controlled the army did not want to see this.
In their own territory, the lords had the highest power, and life and death were just a matter of a word from them. They were a group of uncrowned kings! If there was a unified country, the power they held would be greatly reduced. Who would be willing to go from an uncrowned king to a retainer?!
The Holy See's attitude had always been ambiguous, and this was why Jeddes was very dissatisfied with the Pope. On one hand, he wanted to use Nicholas's power to spread the glory of the God of Light and restore the past glory. On the other hand, he was worried that Nicholas's strength was too strong and would pose a threat to the Holy See. One day, he would fully support, and the next, he would try to obstruct, or even support Nicholas's enemies. This was too capricious. The Holy See wanted to control everything, but they ignored the strong people who could reach the top of the pyramid. Who would be willing to be controlled by others? As a result, the conflict between the Holy See and Nicholas became more and more intense, and finally reached an irreconcilable point. Also, Lola was so respectful and obedient to the Holy See only because she was threatened by Nicholas. If Lola and Nicholas were in each other's positions, would Lola make the same choice as Nicholas?
In fact, as early as when Nicholas asked for help from the Dragon Realm, Jeddes had a faint premonition that Nicholas would sooner or later fall out with the Holy See. However, he did not expect it to come so quickly and so suddenly.
After experiencing the Nirvana of Life and Death, Jeddis' state of mind had undergone a huge change. He no longer believed that the lords and nobles could be trusted because the entanglement of interests was too complicated and unpredictable. He had already turned his attention to the commoners who were ignored by the strong. In comparison, the commoners' desires were simple and easily satisfied. They just wanted a safe environment to live in. Therefore, he emphasized justice in front of Han Jin. What is justice? To completely end the chaotic situation!
Now, Jeddes was on the opposite side of the Pope. The Pope had always insisted that the Holy See's dignity could be displayed to the greatest extent in a world with many vassals. In the past, Jeddes thought this was correct, but now he realized that the so-called dignity of the Holy See was explained at the cost of countless civilians being displaced, slaughtered, and enslaved. This was the most shameless distortion of the doctrine!
Of course, according to Jeddes' current point of view, Nicholas was also righteous. However, Jeddes was after all a believer, and it was impossible for him to cooperate with a king who used and destroyed the Holy See. Therefore, in his eyes, Nicholas became the representative of evil!
Guevara and Majordomo Gail looked at each other. They both heard Jeddes' judgment and understood what Jeddes meant. Majordomo Gail's eyes flickered, and no one knew what he was thinking. Guevara smiled and slowly stroked his dragon spear.
In this regard, Han Jin was just a novice and could not be compared to those sly old foxes. Moreover, this was too complicated, and not just anyone who said a few words could immediately understand and understand everything. Majordomo Gail did not say anything because he had his own ideas, and Guevara did not say anything because he wanted Han Jin to slowly understand and understand on his own.
"Sir, look there!" Suddenly, a general pointed below and shouted.
The fog in an area slowly changed, and a vortex slowly formed. The black fog in the center was all swept away, and an Abyssal Mage who was fiddling with a strange object looked at the sky in shock. He did not know why the black fog suddenly left him.
Han Jin raised his eyebrows slightly. Little Gold Bolt let out a crisp chirp and suddenly flew away from the side of the ship. It spread its wings and swooped down. More than a hundred Thunderbirds followed behind Little Gold Bolt, and pairs of wings covered a small part of the sky. The Abyssal Mage hurriedly jumped up and ran towards the black fog with all his might. However, something strange happened. No matter where he ran, the black fog would avoid him. The Abyssal Mage ran around in an extremely sorry state, but he could not find any protection.
Streaks of lightning shot down and gathered at a point on the Abyssal Mage's body. Following a deafening explosion, the Abyssal Mage turned into countless pieces of flesh and blood.
The attack of a single ninth rank Thunderbird was already quite powerful. The simultaneous attack of more than a hundred Thunderbirds was unimaginable. Even a peak powerhouse might not be able to guarantee their own safety.
Little Gold Bolt circled half a circle before spreading its wings and flying back to the side of the ship. It kept chirping, somewhat dissatisfied and unsatisfied.
Lang Ning looked at the Thunderbirds in shock. He knew that the Thunderbirds were ninth rank magical beasts, and he could not even defeat one of them. However, the Thunderbirds' behavior was too orderly, as if there was an invisible hand controlling them. They were no different from soldiers.
The flock of Thunderbirds had just returned to the side of the ship when a huge javelin made of gas suddenly flew out from the black fog and shot straight at the ship. Then, different spells shot out from all directions, all aimed at the ship. This was the Abyssal Mages taking revenge for their companions, and also to test the ship's defense.
