V2.Chapter 16

Magic blue God.

The God of the sea believed by fish people.

The fairy tale of the mermaid is his artifact.

However, everyone knows that his followers are not just fishmen.

Faith spreads.

Any aquatic group is likely to believe in the magic blue God. Before the magic blue god ascended the throne, the body was a mermaid. Therefore, most of the Mermaids also believe in him.

Similarly, it is not surprising that humans believe in this God. Especially in coastal areas, his faith is easier to spread.

For a long time, Shengming Empire has no orthodox sea god.

And the magic blue god is quite orthodox sea god.

Believing in him is of great benefit to believers. It can make the navigation more smooth and the fish get more. Sometimes sea fishing can bring out large shells containing pearls or other rare fish.

The key is that he is an alien god.

The holy Empire has always dealt a severe blow to such gods.

Because faith is very important, there has always been fierce competition between gods for this unique resource.

Faith is a very powerful force.

It involves the secular world, the donations of believers bring massive wealth, and the sectarian forces can be armed. It also involves humanities, and the mutual understanding between believers must be far beyond ordinary people. The same belief means the same values. In particular, positive beliefs can greatly promote the synergy and cooperation between mankind.

Finally, it involves gods. Gods are the oldest living beings in the world and often the most powerful combat power. The secrets of gods are not well known, but generally speaking, there is a rule that the more believers a God has, the stronger his power will be.

Therefore, anyone who believes in such gods as the magic blue God will be identified as a heretic. The fate of evil believers is often miserable. From the perspective of Empire, we must make an example of them!

"This is really an unexpected harvest!" Cang Xu was moved. He didn't expect to find out the clues of the magic blue god in the pub.

They now encounter great difficulties, some of which are related to the fairy tales of the mermaid.

This artifact can produce pearl foam, and people consume these pearl foam to hide themselves. However, the efficiency of artifact production is getting lower and lower. In the near future, people will have no pearl foam available.

At that time, it will be difficult for them to resist the prophecy and detection methods in magic and divination, and they will quickly expose themselves.

Once pursued by the Empire, they are finished.

"If we find such a heretic, we can find a way to help the artifact improve its production capacity or make more efficient use of Pearl foam through him. This will be of great help to us!" Cang Xu thought in his heart.

Zi Di is addicted. It's hard for everyone to contact Baizhen patriarch now. For a moment, it is difficult to atone.

In this case, the longer the delay, the greater the possibility of salvation for all.

"Unfortunately, the heretic was caught, which may be his carelessness, or he may not be strong enough. The end of the poem also said that he would be publicly executed. But even so, this is a valuable clue. Maybe I can find more things. Maybe the heretic with the same faith hidden here does not mean that he is alone."

So late at night, when the four people left the tavern and began to act, Cang Xu said, "let's act separately. Cyanobacteria and Sandao, you go to explore the dock and confirm that it's safe here. And I, together with Bai Ya, went to check the residence of the heretic."

Cyanobacteria nodded in agreement.

This clue about the fairy tales of the blue God and the mermaid is really worth exploring.

But Bai Ya wanted to talk and stopped, and some were not affectionate and Cang Xu was alone. Young people now have a faint fear of the old scholar.

But cyanobacteria and Sandao left straight away.

"Let's go." Cang Xu also urged.

Bai Ya bit her teeth, but she kept up with the old scholar.

The abode of the heretics is located on the sea, which is a crude boat dock. The dilapidated wooden stairs and the dilapidated roof leak the wind, which is extremely bitter.

The old scholar arranged Bai Ya to guard the door, pushed the door open by himself and went in to explore.

The boat dock is as poor as a rag, and it is clear at a glance. After the evil cult happened, this place has been patronized by others many times.

"Wait a minute." After looking around for a week, the old scholar suddenly paused and his eyes stayed at his feet.

This floor seems to be too loose.

The old scholar leaned down and groped for a moment in the clear moonlight.

Soon, he lifted the floor.

It turns out that this is a specially made floor that can be moved.

But cangxu was soon disappointed again. Under the floor was calm sea water, nothing else.

But just as he was about to close the floor, he accidentally glimpsed a symbol.

This symbol is carved on the bottom of the floor, as if it were carved directly with a knife. The symbol is very clear, like a straight vertical line added in the middle of a U letter. The vertical line passes through the bottom of the U and extends out long. At first glance, it looks like a simple stroke of a fork.

At this moment, Cang Xu's pupils shrink sharply. He was shocked because he was one of the few people in the world who knew the special meaning of this symbol!

"Don't move!" At this time, a bright dagger suddenly crossed cangxu's neck.

A human shadow gradually appeared behind cangxu.

It's a thief.

"I've got him!" Cried the thief.

Obviously, he has associates.

The next moment, the door was kicked open. Another thief escorted Bai Ya into the room.

Although Bai Ya was restrained, she struggled hard and did not give in.

The robber escorting him snorted coldly and immediately used his anger.

The fighting spirit rushed into Bai Ya's body, and immediately let Bai Ya howl miserably. His strength suddenly lost, and he was almost paralyzed.

"Be sensible, smelly boy. If you continue to make trouble, you will be killed!" The thief behind him threatened.

"It's you." Cang Xu looked at the moonlight and saw that the thief behind Bai Ya was the one who successfully stole his purse in the pub?

It turned out that although the thief failed to steal and was thrown out of the pub, he did not give up. He is a member of the thieves guild. He found a helper and has been staring at cangxu and other four people.

They were just two bronze thieves. Originally, they had little chance, but the benefits of tracking down soon showed that the four cangxu people separated.

The strongest Sandao and cyanobacteria left far away, and the weakest cangxu and Baiya went another way.

This strategy of dividing the troops seemed stupid to the two thieves, but it also made them very happy.

They followed up secretly. Seeing that Cang Xu had entered the small boat dock and there was no one else around, they immediately began to fight.

"As I said, opportunities always favor those who don't give up." The thief suppressed Bai Ya and looked at Cang Xu with complacency.

Cang Xu shook his head and sighed, "don't hurt us. What do you want? I can give you money."

The thief in front of the old scholar immediately laughed, "look, I said this is a fat sheep!"

At the next moment, Cang Xu heard the thief behind him answer, "those who can afford to drink bronze cider are naturally fat sheep."

"Anyway." Cang Xu said, "you kidnapped us, are you not afraid of our people coming to trouble you? Do you know who we are?"

The thief who detained Bai Ya said with a smile, "of course you are not a mercenary group. But that goblin, I'm afraid, has been a mercenary. People are different. Although they mix together, in my eyes, you all have clear origins."

"If I guess right, your backer should be some noble. You are the running dog of the noble!"

"As for this young man, he is just a pure newcomer. He is too young."

Cang Xu nodded, "you guessed well."

The thief was even more proud. He continued: "I have been in crescent town for many years, and crescent port has gradually become different in the past two to three years. It seems nothing on the surface, but in fact, I know that secretly, there are forces that have extended their tentacles here."

"The noble behind you should want to smuggle."

"So I value here and want to seek huge profits through sea routes."

"So, you built a dock and secretly sent personnel to sneak into the pirates and establish a network."

"No, the forces behind you are not necessarily Terrans. Hehe, it may also be the elves in the honeymoon forest. I have heard rumors for a long time that the honeymoon elves king has always wanted to return to the fairy hall. Although the trade with the empire is growing, the status of the honeymoon forest is declining year by year."

Cang Xu was dumbfounded.

The thief in front of him is quite imaginative.

It's not surprising that the thieves knew that cangxu wanted to get into the pirate gang. Cang Xu asks the bartender for information about others, and the bartender will also sell his information to others.

This is the intelligence business.

The thief's eyes were very accurate. To some extent, he saw the details of Cang Xu, Bai Ya, Sandao and others.

But he didn't know that it was the Imperial Navy that secretly invested in the construction of crescent harbor.

The Empire will build it into a qualified secret supply port to facilitate the espionage mission.

The thieves said that "crescent port has gradually become different in twoorthree years", which indicates that the imperial plan to promote the construction of secret ports had already begun twoorthree years ago.

The competition for the throne of Pirates began this year, but the wise men of the Empire had long heard or predicted this and made plans in advance.

The reason why Shengming empire is the world's first force is not only its strong muscles, but also its smart mind and visionary vision.

Although the result of the thief's speculation is wrong, it is logically self consistent. Unfortunately, he belongs to the bottom. If he has a higher status and receives more secret messages, he should be able to guess the correct answer.

"How many gold coins do you want? I cooperate with you. I hope you will release me as soon as possible, because I have an important task." Cang Xu sighed, "compared with the loss of this money, I delayed the task assigned above, and the consequences are more serious. In addition, I have to warn you, after you get the ransom, please leave this town as soon as possible and try not to come back."

"Because once I regain my freedom, I will use my human and material resources to arrest you. Of course, I don't really want to be detrimental to you, but my identity determines that I can't disgrace the nobles behind me. Please cooperate with me and don't make me too embarrassed."

"Ho ho." The thief looked sarcastic, "I know, the honor of nobility!"

"Come on, how much ransom do you want? Can you write it? I can help you write a blackmail letter." Cang Xu said.

The two thieves looked at each other. They didn't expect Cang Xu to go on the road like this. One of them tried to say, "that's a hundred gold coins?"

"OK." Cang must nod his head immediately.

Seeing that he was so straightforward, the two thieves immediately repented: "no, 200 gold coins."

Cang must nod.

"300 gold coins, no, 500 gold coins!" The thief repented again.

Cang Xu shook his head, "500 gold coins, too little. It's better to directly 1000 gold coins."

The eyes of the thieves were bright.

"But the question is, can you afford these onethousand gold coins?" Cang Xu laughed.

The two thieves suddenly changed color, and the sarcasm in Cang Xu's smile was too strong.

"Old thing, let you suffer." The thief who detained Cang Xu poked the dagger.

At the next moment, the dagger stabbed Cang Xu's cheek and cut a long wound on his face.

But no blood flowed from the wound.

Not only that, judging from the cut wound, the inner skin and flesh of cangxu are pale and lifeless.

"What are you?!" The two thieves became frightened.

Cang Xu smiled and reached out to touch his cheek. He stroked the wound, pressed it with his fingers, and pressed the cut layer of flesh to its original position.

Then, the other three people saw the wound on cangxu's face heal quickly.

The two thieves realized that something was wrong and wanted to retreat, distancing themselves from Cang Xu.

But at this time, they realized that they had been unable to move.

An unspeakable cold froze their souls.

"You, you, you!"

"Spare your life, spare your life!"

Their faces twisted and they begged frantically for mercy.

Cang Xu began to sing.

After more than a dozen breaths, his magic came out, and the souls of the two thieves were forcibly extracted, and their bodies fell to the floor.

"You are a necromancer!" The souls of the two thieves screamed together.
