(Congratulations to the century-old Xin for becoming the new leader of this book, thank you)

This kind of sacrifice is really full of Eastern and Western colors.

Before the Eastern World War, a ceremony of sacrificing the heavens should be carried out, or the head of the enemy should be cut off for the sacrificial flag.

And this Western world is more mysterious and cruel.

To sacrifice, to a certain extent, sacrifice oneself. But of course the Grand Duchess Debos would not sacrifice herself, only her own relatives.

But she has no children, and her own brother has been beheaded by her.

If you don't have relatives, you can only make relatives, and of course your husband is a relative.

And if she wants to crusade the Witch Empire as an oriental, then find an oriental man as her husband.

The target of this kind of sacrifice can't be looked for randomly. It must be a man with noble blood and the essence of heaven and earth.

So Duke Debos issued a reward, looking for an extremely beautiful man with noble temperament, one in ten thousand, and the reward was three thousand gold coins.

Suddenly, mercenaries and pirates in the western world are looking for such beautiful oriental men everywhere.

But after searching for more than half a year, only three were found.

Some people may ask why Shen Lang won the assessment that time. Although his answer was mysterious and mysterious, it was completely perfunctory.

In fact, Shen Lang would win no matter how shit he answered, because his temperament and image far surpassed those of those two competitors.

Duke Debos and other Vulcan priests had already selected Shen Lang, and the so-called assessment was just a passing scene.

After the candidate has been selected, the actual marriage will take place, and the intimacy between husband and wife will take place.

A hundred days, a full nineteen days.

Every time you make out, you should be full of ritual.

Only in this way can one appear pious, so as not to deceive the god of fire, so as to be blessed by the god of fire.

That's why Shen Lang's treatment in Bijincheng was so strange. He was obviously the husband of the female grand duke, but everyone avoided him like a snake.

Because he was a victim, even an ominous thing.

………………

Shen Lang was firmly tied to the wooden frame.

His expression was very calm, not nervous, not panicking.

After binding, several Vulcan priests carried him to a boat.

The ship was splendidly decorated, but full of firewood.

Several Vulcan priests sang Vulcan hymns around Shen Lang on the wooden stand, as if they were praying.

The whole ceremony seemed strange and deep, and everyone on the shore knelt down neatly on the ground.

After a full quarter of an hour, the ceremony was over.

Then the Grand Duchess Debos came over, came to the wooden frame and looked at Shen Lang.

"Will you tell me your real name before you die?" Debos asked.

Shen Lang smiled and said nothing.

"As I said before, Dayan belongs to Dayan, and the West belongs to the West." Debos said.

Shen Lang said: "But this land, including most of the land of the Xilun Dynasty, does not belong to you. You are from the northern world."

This is also what Shen Lang sees from the book.

This continent originally belonged to the aborigines, the Vidas, the Vedas, etc. This piece of land with more than 20 to 30 million kilometers belongs to hundreds of aboriginal races.

The ancestors of the Xi Lun Dynasty all came from the far north world thousands of miles away.

They are not the masters of this land, they are just conquerors.

Why did the ancestors of the Xilun Dynasty leave their hometown and go south, and what happened in the extreme northern world? This is completely unknown, there is no description in the book.

Duke Debos said: "At least we came first."

Shen Lang said: "What happened in the extreme north world? Why did your ancestors go south and cross the ocean to the south?"

"I don't know," Debors replied.

I don't know why, when it comes to the extreme north world, Shen Lang thinks of Bai Yujing, where there is snow belongs to Bai Yujing's territory.

Debos said: "Didn't you always want to kiss before? Before you die, I can give you one."

Then she touched her lips with her index finger, and then touched Shen Lang's lips again.

Are you still so arrogant?

"I don't care what your previous status was, but it is definitely your honor to be able to become Duke Russo's husband and die."

Shen Lang said: "Before I die, I have a request."

Duke Debos said, "I have already kissed you."

Shen Lang said: "No, please pull on my mask, I really don't want to see your face."

Duke Debos's beautiful face twitched slightly and said, "As you wish."

Then, Duke Debos found the mask on top of Shen Lang's head and pulled it down suddenly.

"rest in peace!"

Having said that, Duke Debors left the ship and returned to the dock.

The sailor untied the ropes, and the wind blew the boat to the east, for it was in the east where Duke Debors was about to go.

The boat floated farther and farther, farther and farther, and finally exceeded three hundred meters.

At this moment, Duke Debos didn't panic, lit the rocket, bent the bow and pointed the arrow diagonally at the sky.

"Whoosh..." An arrow shot out suddenly.

The rocket crossed an arc in the air and landed on the firewood in front of Shen Lang with great accuracy.

"call……"

The flames ignited violently, and they burned in an instant.

Shen Lang on the wooden frame instantly turned into a burning man.

"Ah...ah...ah..."

He heard an extremely shrill scream, which sounded terrifying.

Looking at the burning waves, the people on the shore fell into a carnival.

"Burn the Orientals, burn the aliens."

"Kill all the Orientals, long live Xilon, long live Xilon..."

"Kill the Witch Empire!"

at the same time!

"Boom boom boom..."

Incomparably bright fireworks burst out from the ship where Shen Lang was.

The whole ship's fireworks exploded frantically, instantly covering up the boat.

These fireworks were not set by Shen Lang, but by Vulcan priests, which may not be good news, because they invented gunpowder instead.

"Boom boom boom..."

"Ah...ah...ah..."

The dazzling fireworks, the flaming ships, and the screams of Shen Lang instantly made the crowd on the shore fall into carnival and excitement.

The cruelty and destructive desire in the heart have been perfectly released.

"Kill all the witch country, kill all the Orientals!"

The Vulcan priest shouted: "The Vulcan has already responded to us. This expedition will definitely win."

"Great victory!"

"Great victory!"

Debos ordered loudly: "The army boarded the ship and went to the Witch Country!"

Following her order, hundreds of thousands of troops boarded the ship mightily.

One ship after another, sailing to the east, sailing to the Witch Empire!

………………

in a few days!

An ordinary sea ship is sailing in the direction of the Witch Empire.

This grain ship, this war against the Witch Empire, is far more than the Duke Debos family. A total of more than a dozen families participated in this war, but Debos was a key figure in it.

Because of what she said, the Xiron Dynasty was torn apart and was taken advantage of by the Witch Empire.

Relying on the wind of liberating slaves, the witch instantly possessed countless troops, swept the entire southern sea area of ​​Xilon, and disintegrated the rule of dozens of families.

It turned out that the nobles of the Xiron Dynasty were either eliminated or surrendered, abolished the slave system, and declared their allegiance to the Witch Empire.

In just a few short years, the Witch Empire had dozens or hundreds of city-states and a territory of 3.9 million square kilometers, more than a quarter of the area of ​​the Xilun Dynasty.

It is precisely because of the invasion of the Witch Empire that the remaining wealthy families of the Xi Lun Dynasty united to form the Third Xi Lun Empire. After more than a year of brewing, they finally launched a general attack on the Witch Empire.

So this battle was much bigger than Shen Lang imagined.

Debos dispatched hundreds of thousands of troops, but more than 500 civilian ships were hired and requisitioned, all of which were used to transport military rations and materials.

At this time, it has been more than half a month since the departure of the Debos army.

The owner of this ship is named Hill. She is from Vader. Her father used to be a pirate, and then died at sea. She inherited the ship, but did not want to be a pirate, so she became a sea merchant.

Twenty-nine years old, she was a fit and strong woman, and she was also a widow, because she killed her husband at a wedding, in front of hundreds of guests.

Of course she was acquitted in the end because her husband was suspected of murdering her father in an attempt to seize the sea-going ship.

But killing her husband was too creepy after all, so although Hill was strong and beautiful, no one dared to marry again. And she also used this reputation to deter all the men who wanted to take her ship. The business has been going well these years.

Her father had only one ship when he was a pirate, but now she has five ships, with three hundred sailors and two hundred wandering warriors.

Her business is doing very well, because she dares to fight, and she dares to go to the sea areas that others dare not go. She dares to go to a tribe that others dare not go to.

Every time she went on an adventure, she brought ship after ship of gems.

But unfortunately she is a Vader, not a white man, and will never be a nobleman, nor can she have her own castle.

She is very rich, but every time she enters Bijin City, even if she sees a poor white man, she has to get out of the way on the side of the road.

This filled her with anger, and she wanted to draw a sword and kill a white man or two.

This land obviously belongs to the Vaders, but why should the white people of Xiron be on the top?

Now, her five ships have been commandeered by Duke Debos, and there is no room for resistance.

In this sea area, no one dared to go against the will of Duchess Debos, including in the entire Bibo Principality.

Because Duke Debos killed countless people, she even killed her own brother, and was called the Bloody Duke.

………………

"Ship owner!"

"Ship owner!"

Where Hill passed, all the sailors bowed and saluted, and all the wandering warriors were short of breath, but their eyes fell on the deck.

Because Hill learned swordsmanship since he was a child, he has been chopping waves in the sea since he was a child. He is very strong, strong in swordsmanship, and cruel.

Someone once looked at her buttocks disrespectfully and was stabbed and blinded.

Because her hips are so eye-catching, perfect shape, amazingly upturned.

She has been fighting in the sea all the year round. She is fit, full of strength, and extremely hot.

It's just that all the men on the ship who tried to be mean to her were killed or castrated by him.

So in the past few years, not only no man dared to touch him, but no one dared to look at her directly, just fantasized desperately in his mind.

She is a black widow, a black widow who kills without blinking an eye.

The black widow went all the way down to the cabin and entered her cabin.

A lazy man lay there reading a book, unmatched in beauty.

Black Widow Hill stepped forward and kissed the man passionately, and soon the two of them tumbled together, burning frantically.

She was a very hot woman, so she had to bite something in her mouth to keep herself from making a sound.

"Dear, my favorite person, why don't you listen to me, dress up a little, and then go back to the deck? You stay in this cabin every day, I'm so distressed..." Black Widow Hill trembled road.

She greedily kissed the man's lips.

The man said: "If those ingredients are applied to my face, it will be bad for my skin. The last burn at the stake has already caused damage to my skin. It took me ten whole days to get rid of the erythema."

This man is of course Shen Lang.

He was not burned at the stake, and certainly could not have been burned.

Because he predicted this sacrifice two or three months in advance, he once wanted to rely on the beautiful man to plan this sacrifice, but failed. Debos is an absolutely excellent nobleman, and she will never let her emotions affect her will, so when Shen Lang shows something special, she will be even more indifferent.

The handsome man's plan can't be successful, so how do you find a way to escape?

It didn't work either, because he looked free, but no matter where he went, more than a dozen pairs of eyes were staring at him in the dark.

A white swan cannot hide in a group of black swans.

He began to understand sacrifice at the stake.

If it is a war on land, then the burning will be done on land.

But if it was a war on the sea, then the sacrifices would take place on the sea.

So the burning at the stake was his only chance to escape. Remember his hot air balloon cloth? The craftsmanship is very advanced, with a total of three layers.

One layer is waterproof, one layer is interlayer, and one layer is fireproof.

Waterproof is tarpaulin, what is fireproof? Of course it's asbestos.

In the Zhou Dynasty, my country had asbestos cloth, which was called fire cloth. This kind of cloth is very magical. After it is dirty, just throw it into the fire and burn it, and it will look brand new immediately.

Moreover, the fire resistance of this asbestos cloth is absolutely first-class, and at a high temperature of 1400 degrees Celsius, it can persist for more than three years to disappear without deformation. 1700 degrees Celsius will gradually melt, and a normal flame is only a few hundred degrees at best.

And the distribution of asbestos is very, very wide, not as rare as saltpeter. Especially the serpentine mines, there are literally countless.

These asbestos ores contain natural asbestos fibers, but most of them are only a few millimeters short, and only about two centimeters long, but the longest can be about ten centimeters.

When Wu State attacked Angry Tide City, Shen Lang had already started to develop fireproof materials, produced a large amount of asbestos cloth, and even made some fireproof gels.

This asbestos cloth was once regarded by Shen Lang as a strategic material, and it was not even put into the market at all.

But I didn't expect it to be used all the time. The biggest use turned out to be used on the sails of ships and hot air balloons.

And the fireproof gel he made is absolutely superb.

At that time, in order to escape from the army of Ning Han and Ji Xuan on the sea, Shen Lang needed to ignite the hot air balloon in the cabin.

What an amazing temperature, if you are not careful, you will be burned, so you need to be covered with fireproof gel.

And this fireproof gel can isolate the high temperature of thousands of degrees Celsius.

Two months ago, Shen Lang began to prepare for this burning at the stake.

First of all, instead of wearing silk, he wears cotton and linen, and he sews his own.

This is because cotton and linen are more similar in appearance to asbestos.

Not only that, Shen Lang can also prepare his own skin care products and apply them to his face and body every day, just to cover with fireproof glue one day.

God is pitiful, Shen Lang is really not easy.

This fireproof gel is okay, not poisonous, but this asbestos cloth is poisonous.

On the day of the burning, Shen Lang wore several layers on top of each other and applied a thick layer of fireproof gel.

Of course no one raised any doubts, because Shen Lang did this a month or two ago.

Moreover, the asbestos clothes were snow-white and looked very good, just like normal clothes.

Therefore, Shen Lang's protective work was absolutely perfect. When the fire was burning, all his clothes were burned and he became a burning man.

Then there was a shrill scream.

The scream was real, he didn't expect it would be so uncomfortable and painful.

Although the whole body is fireproof, the asbestos mask was put on at the last moment, and it can also isolate the high temperature.

But it was still hard, that suffocation, that burning sensation.

He's still too squeamish. Many stunt performers in other people's movies are burned several times a day, and their whole body is burning.

When the whole ship was shooting wildly and burning, the flames on Shen Lang went out instead, because all the combustibles were burnt out, and Shen Lang took the opportunity to roll over into the sea and escape.

Two days later, he took advantage of the darkness to sneak into a ship, the ship of Black Widow Hill.

Fortunately, his incomparably beautiful face was not damaged too much, but his hair was damaged a lot, but Shen Lang used a knife to trim his short and medium hair, which was still a dashing hairstyle.

Hill is a black widow who kills countless people, and no one can come within a few meters of her stateroom. After all, she is also this age, and sometimes she will do some shy things, so that no one can hear the movement.

When she returned to her cabin, she found a dying, but incomparably beautiful man lying in it.

"I'm the husband of Duke Debos, the oriental man who was burned to death. I don't know why he didn't die. You can hand me over and you will definitely get a reward."

Debos is not short of money, she has money, but she has identity, but because of her race, her identity can never be changed.

Therefore, Duke Debos only had power over her, but could not be gracious to her.

This time, her fleet was originally going to sea for trade, but it was forcibly requisitioned, and her heart was full of anger.

So how could she hand over Shen Lang?

Well, it's not too clear to say that.

Put yourself in the shoes, if you are a man, and suddenly there is a charming and stunning beauty in the room, there is no one in a million, and you are very rich, will you hand her over to receive a reward? And still a monarch you hate?

No way!

In this way, Shen Lang hid in Black Widow Hill's cabin.

After just eight hours, the two were asleep.

In this small room, lonely/male/widow/female, dry/firewood/fire is too normal.

Besides, Lord Lang is so earth-shatteringly handsome, and Black Widow Hill is twenty-nine years old. She is a passionate woman. She killed her husband because of the wedding and became a black widow alive, and in order to protect herself She had to use cruel and ruthless means to frighten the men who wanted to get her fleet.

In fact, she herself has almost become a volcano about to erupt.

Since then, the two have enjoyed each other every day, and Lord Lang's waist and kidneys were once again severely tested.

Despite several months of study, he is not fluent in Vader. But he only used 30% of his skill to sway the black widow female ship owner to the death, and her love almost drowned Shen Lang completely.

The only thing that is a little bit bad is that after this woman tasted the fruit for the first time, she had a taste for the marrow. The key point is that she has high martial arts skills and strong strength, so Lord Lang can't bear it.

But in less than ten days, she also knew that she began to feel distressed for Lord Lang, and tried every means to supplement him, and she also forcibly suppressed her desires.

Shen Lang showed his various outstanding talents in front of him, and he was fascinated by Black Widow Hill.

Hill is a sea merchant, and he has been in contact with merchants and pirates over the years, most of whom are greedy and vulgar.

Where have I seen a person like Shen Lang, refined and noble, unparalleled in beauty, and full of talent.

Even if he had just learned the Vader language, he was able to write creepy poems.

"You are the cutest. I didn't have time to think about it when I said it, and after thinking about it, I still said that."

"There will no longer be such a moonlit night, with blurred light passing through the dark woods, pouring out the quiet brilliance, faintly and vaguely revealing the beauty of my lover."

Such verses came out of Shen Lang's mouth like running water. Even every word he said was like a charming wine.

Shen Lang also shouted in his heart, I have finally come to the Western world, so God Pushkin, God Shelley's poems will no longer be lonely.

To tell the truth, if it is used to flirt with girls, Western poetry is more direct, because it is shameless.

Moreover, a woman like Black Widow Hill is on the surface a maritime businessman, but because of her race, she desperately wants to improve her identity and taste after becoming rich, so she especially yearns for literature and art.

Unlike DeBos, literature and art are merely embellishments, and power is the eternal pursuit.

In just half a month, Hill said I love you at least a thousand times.

………………

When Shen Lang felt that his skin had recovered, he still disguised himself on the deck.

What are you disguising as?

I don't want to say it, I don't want to say it at all.

But I don't know what, a blond woman more beautiful than Hill appeared on the deck, which made countless pirates and wandering warriors fascinated.

Then everyone guessed that Black Widow Hill didn't like men, only women, so it made sense why Black Widow would kill her husband.

………………

The next time is not happy.

Because Shen Lang saw one sea battle after another.

The unprecedented naval battle far exceeded the battle between him and Xue Che's fleet.

Hundreds of warships are still fighting frantically on the sea, and wars are everywhere on the sea for hundreds of miles.

On one side is the flag of the Third Reich of Siron.

On one side is the flag of the Witch Empire.

Shen Lang finally saw that the flag of the Witch Empire looked like this. It turned out to be the head of a Medusa. No wonder it was called the Witch Empire.

The entire sea front spreads for nearly a thousand miles.

Bigger than ever.

The navies of both sides exceed hundreds of thousands.

The scale of such a war simply dazzled Shen Lang.

Shen Lang sailed all the way at sea for more than a month, because he stopped and went, but the total voyage still exceeded eight or nine thousand miles.

In the next half month, I saw fighting almost every day.

Medium-scale, large-scale naval battles, countless.

This allowed Shen Lang to escalate the scale of the war.

And he is also very puzzled, why not two super fleets in a big battle at sea?

It seems that dozens of fleets of both camps are fighting everywhere at sea?

Black Widow Hill explained to Shen Lang, because the Xiron Third Empire was not unified and had dozens of coalition forces.

The Witch Empire is not a complete empire, but consists of dozens or hundreds of liberated city-states.

That's why there are scenes of war everywhere.

Both Shen Lang and Hill could see that the battle situation was very unfavorable to the Witch Empire.

The Witch Empire's fleets and armies are also very, very large, but they are not professional like a mess of sand.

Dozens of city-states are fighting each other almost independently. These slaves have just been liberated not long ago, so the combat effectiveness of the army is still very low.

Shen Lang said: "Most of the Witch Empire's army are freed slaves. And Debos also used a lot of slave armies, why would her slave armies not betray or join the Witch Empire, because that's what slaves belong to. motherland."

Black Widow Hill said: "Most of the freed slaves in the Witch Empire are brown people, and there are a small number of white people and yellow people. The slaves hired by Duke Debos are all black, and they are very strong. Sturdy, but has no concept of freedom, and has absolute obedience. And Vulcanism uses theocracy, belief, and drugs to control this slave army."

Shen Lang understood why Debos was so tightly bound to the Vulcan priest.

Then the ship stopped eastward and turned north.

The orders of the Third Reich Army of Xi Lun have been constantly changing, because the situation of the battle went smoothly than expected, so the places where these merchant ships were to land continued to extend backwards.

Finally, the final order came.

The merchant ships of Hill and others landed in Siva City.

"Even the city of Siva fell?" Hill asked with a complicated expression.

Xiwa City, the most prosperous city-state on the east coast of the Witch Empire, the second largest city in the Witch Empire, was also occupied by the army of the Xi Lun Empire.

"We need to land in Shiwa City, unload all the supplies, and return to Bijin City immediately." Hill said: "The Third Empire of Xi Lun Allied Forces are ready to launch the final general attack on the capital of the Witch Empire."

Has the situation developed to this point? They have already hit the witch king?

Shen Lang finally asked: "What is the name of the queen of the witch country?"

He wanted to hear Qiu Yao'er three words.

Black Widow Hill said: "Medusa!"

Uh?

What does it mean?

Is the Queen of the Witch Country a Chou Yaoer?

"Have you seen the Queen of the Witch Empire?" Shen Lang asked.

Black Widow Hill shook her head and said, "No, anyone who is rumored to see her will either become her subordinate or die!"

This seems to be Qiu Yao'er's style.

So is this Queen Medusa really a hater?

Can it only be verified by Shen Lang himself?

The ship docked at the city of Siva, the largest city on the east coast of the Witch Empire.

"Let's go, love!" Hill said: "After we go back, we will immediately stay away from Bikin City and go to an island that Duke Debos can't touch. We live there. I have a huge manor on Paradise Island with many servants. , where we can have children and live happily ever after."

"After arriving on Paradise Island, we got married immediately. I stopped sailing and sold all the ships. From now on, we will be the owners of that Paradise Island, where there are countless vineyards, as well as many hunting grounds and breeding grounds. field."

"There, you can live a prosperous and wealthy life. If you want, our second child will inherit my surname, and the remaining children will all inherit your surname, but each of our children has the right to inherit property."

"My love, I have more money and wealth than you think, and I don't want you to wander any more."

This morning, Hill and Shen Lang blended together again, and then she pleaded in Shen Lang's ear.

Shen Lang sighed and said, "Beautiful Hill, the flames of Bijin City didn't burn me, but you melted my heart like a raging flame, and I desperately want to follow you to Paradise Island, but I'm sorry, I need Go to the capital of the Witch Empire."

Hill cried: "Why? What does Queen Medusa have to do with you? Do you love Queen Medusa? She is untouchable by mortals. She is not a normal human being at all."

Shen Lang sighed inwardly, I also think she is not human, but she may be the mother of my child.

In fact, Shen Lang doesn't know now whether Queen Medusa of the Witch Empire is a hater or not.

Because this queen has been myth too much.

Relying on her own strength, she destroyed dozens or hundreds of city-states, and in less than three years, she established a large empire of 4 million square kilometers.

But whether she is Qiu Yao'er or not, Shen Lang has to go and see for himself.

"Goodbye, beautiful Hill, I'm going to the Witch Empire's capital to witness something."
