Chapter 198 Express Train
The black three-masted sailboat joined the fleet, and more than 30 plane caravans of different shapes began the journey to the Styx. They assisted each other, and they were also guarding against each other, praying that they would be safe, and at the same time they would be praying that they would die if they wanted to die and let themselves go.
There is no wind on the ice sea on the fifth level of Hell, so the sails are closed. Feiqi stood by the side of the ship, and through the entire field of view, he could see the magic array near the ship's waterline. It is this spell that drives the ship forward. It is the runes written in Hell, Heaven, Dragon Word and Water Element Language. The water element and Hell runes are currently playing their role.
Feiqi looked for a while and then found that there were many runes hidden at the bottom of the ship, and they were invisible if they didn't go down, so he gave up the idea. It would be fine if it was an ordinary water area, but the key was that the water of the Styx was too special. No matter what kind of creature it was, it would be affected in this water and gradually lost some things. Life vitality, memory, and other things are the easiest to lose, as well as the special abilities of some creatures.
If a contract demon goes down, there is a certain chance that the ability to sign a contract will disappear; if an angel goes down, it may not be able to release the divine spirit light. The River Styx is a river of disappearance. It has no source or end, and it keeps traveling between various worlds and taking away what it touches. However, in some specific environments, the River Styx will also give some magical characteristics to the creatures in the river, such as the invincible swords and guns of swords and guns on the whole body except for the ankles that do not touch the water.
"After reading the magic book, I was observing this ship again. Why do I think you are more curious than me? Why, is this the first time you are riding this kind of ship?" The man with armor in his body actually came over and talked to the devil, which made Feichi unexpectedly.
"This is not the first time this ship is, this is the first time, don't confuse the concept." Feich glanced at the Strange magic book that was still hanging on him: "Do you come here and want to get this book back?"
"I don't think you will give it to me until we get off the boat. The devil is always greedy, and maximizing benefits is your only pursuit. The word "Stop" does not seem to exist to the devil."
"Since you know that the devil is so dangerous, why are you coming to me for? Be careful, I may have sold your soul in just a few words."
"I have a better offer." The man lowered his voice and approached Fitch and asked, "Did you see the big man around me? How much does it cost to take if you take his soul away and let him die?"
"That's not in my plan, I don't want to do this." Feiqi looked at the strong purple potato man's figure. Although it was far less huge than the Soul-Devouring Giant, it seemed stronger and more solid than it, and it looked like it was an extra dangerous feeling. "No, I don't have the mood to be someone else's killer now."
"Just discuss. On the one hand, do you devils have this ability, and on the other hand, you want to ask about the price, so that you won't offend you, right?"
Feiqi looked at the man who hid himself behind his entire family, and for his sake, he said, "As a devil, I will answer you like this: In terms of ability, I have killed a taller, stronger and more terrifying creature than it alone under the interference of good divine power; as for the price, if there is a complete set of Strange's magic books that I have carefully read, I can take action."
"That's great, please take action."
Feiqi sighed, flipped his wrist and a contract appeared in his palm. "You have sold your soul just now, do you know? According to this contract, I don't need to do anything to get your soul, even the soul of everyone you care about. Your uncontrollable mouth, alas..."
"If that guy can be killed, what's wrong with giving you the soul?"
"He is not immortal, and his life will always end. As a devil, I don't need to kill him. I just need to destroy every attempt to live forever. It is considered to be completed by completing the contract - this kind of thing is easy to complete and effortless." Feiqi shook the contract and continued: "In all senses, premeditated murder is an evil act. Buying murder is both evil and cowardly, and adding mistakes to mistakes. And you promised something that does not belong to you to others, which is a manifestation of breach of contract. So I
You can pay the price according to the rules of hell. If I feel that your soul is not enough, I will harvest the soul from your children, children or any relatives. I will not kill them, but I will make their souls lack and be more susceptible to the impact. Then, mental stress and torture will make them more easily controlled by the devil, and eventually choose to pass the soul in a depraved way, such as murder, suicide or other means. Do you understand what you have done now?"
The man with armor stayed for about two seconds, then suddenly reached out to grab the contract. He was not a contract demon, so his finger could only penetrate the contract. "It was very decisive, but also very reckless. It seemed that this was an inherent flaw in your character. This contract is true, but I have not turned it into a entity, so you can't catch it. In addition, even if you kill me, the contract is still there. There will be the next contract demon who finds this contract and starts executing it. The only way to get rid of this contract..."
Feiqi took the contract, tore it into pieces with both hands, and threw it into the Styx. "Okay, this contract no longer exists. Do you feel relieved? If not, you will repeat the same mistake next time. If there is, remember firmly, never sign an agreement that you cannot overturn, never promise what you cannot do, and don't let others do what you should do."
"Wait, are you really a devil? Are you lying to me before, or are you still trying to lie to me now?"
"Don't have so many plays." Feiqi sat down against the side of the boat, opened the spell book on his knees, and began his second reading. "Did you see the purple guy you've always wanted to kill? He was very focused on doing his own thing and observing you. I think this is very interesting, why did he not kill you even though he was capable?"
"Because a foolish guy made a deal with him, he saved my life. Now as long as I don't attack him or bother him, he won't kill me. And in this boring hell, killing me will not do anything good for his plan."
"That's your business, I won't ask. Also, if you bother me anymore, I don't mind collecting more souls." Feiqi pointed to the magic book in his hand: "I can even say that every second you delayed my reading is harming my interests. Do you understand? Stay away from the devil..."
This is almost the second thoughtful advice in the entire multiverse, and the four-word mantra "Don't panic" is just a small disadvantage.
The man in the armor tentatively tentatively, but Feiqi did not pay attention to him again. The previous reminder was already the limit, and if he continued, he was either harming him or himself. Besides, the human beings he encountered in hell are probably more evil than the devil, and Feiqi must also have a sense of defense. Instead of educating others, it is not to hurry up and read the magic books and educate himself.
This mage named Strange can have some interesting spells, such as creating a mirror space for spell experiments, and can trap enemies during battles. Feich does not know much about his spell system and cannot learn it for a while, so he focuses more on his annotations on spells. These annotations contain his magical thoughts and understanding of the world, and some of the statements are very inspiring.
"The infinite universe is just an illusion that cannot keep up with the ability to understand and recognize. The world is just constantly born and disappearing..." While reading, Feiqi brought himself into Strange's identity and reproduced the state when he wrote these words from his perspective. Thinking from the designer's perspective is one of the most important abilities of a cracker. This empathy can be considered to cause a resonance in the soul, thereby breaking through the gap in knowledge, experience and insight. Especially in the field of spells, the soul changes the world and the soul shapes the spell. Therefore, this empathy allows Feiqi to gradually explore Strange's spells, starting from understanding, and finally reaching application.
Understanding others is the starting point for the actions of good gods, cracking other people's knowledge and stealing is a means for evil devils to pursue interests. Feiqi integrates these two states and can already use them very skillfully. About half an hour later, his fingers can produce rune lines of Strange's spell, which is close to creating runes.
At this moment, a dull horn sounded, and then the horn sounded one after another. "Fishman! It's Shahua fishman coming! Starboard! Pay attention to starboard!"
The fleet began to accelerate, and the first time I discovered that the Sahua Yuman's ship had already started to accelerate before the alarm horn sounded. "Damn it, why don't you say how many it has come? Is there any port side? Raise the sail, accelerate, keep the course! Yes, don't worry about those idiots who are walking to the left! Pay attention to avoid it, we accelerate straight!"
The captain with an octopus beard rushed to the deck and kicked hard on the mast. The black sail opened and then bulged up instantly. "Open your eyes, this is a precious windless black sail! The wind stored in normal times is released to ensure that our ship is faster than anyone else's!"
As expected, there was no wind above the ice sea, and the only thing that could make the sails bulge was the energy it stored. The big ship suddenly accelerated, and the bow of the ship was raised directly. The people on the deck were tilted and quickly grabbed the rope beside them and stood firm. In just a short while, the black three-masted sailboat rushed to the forefront of the team, but it was not the first one.
The captain was obviously very careful. He understood the reason for the gun to shoot the bird. Only one of the three sails is now, and the other two are obviously used to deal with the emergency. Feiqi looked back and the Shahua fishman had already rushed to a ship behind the fleet. Hundreds of monsters with slender hands and feet and huge flat fish heads climbed up, poking with sharp cone-like teeth and recurve knife, slashing. The crew did make desperate resistance, and they were indeed dead.
After a while, a loud bang came from the left of the fleet. The River Styx seemed to be blasted, and a huge column of water rushed into the sky. After the water of the River Styx fell like a rainstorm and a waterfall, an iceberg blocked the fleet's passage to the left. It turned out that the fishman pressed the iceberg into the bottom of the water and brought it over. After the effect was removed, the iceberg floated up at high speed and collided with it like a shell.
However, the fishman arrived not only with shells, but with an ice wall. Although several ships made the maximization, they still couldn't avoid it and directly hit them. As soon as their speed decreased, the Shahua fishman rushed up, slaughtered, and robbed them completely according to the process.
"Slow down the sail, check the anchor, and be ready to move at any time!" After the captain gave the order, the sailors immediately executed it, and it was obvious that they were indeed well-trained. Not only his boat, but also several boats next to him also gradually slowed down, but they were still alert. Then, the captain carefully took out a golden shark statue from the dark grid under the steering wheel, held it high, and maintained this position.
The Shahua fishmen worship Saikola. This god uses sharks as its symbol, and the golden statue is obviously a kind of prayer tool. The fish people are sometimes very greedy and try to catch them all in one go when facing a large fleet. In that case, even the strongest ship will not be able to live well. But this time they are lucky. The Shahua fishmen are satisfied with their harvest, and the seven ships are enough for them to digest for a while.
The alarm was lifted when the ships were running away. No matter what the ships had done when they ran away before, or whether they had sold their teammates, they would no longer care about it. Everyone gathered together, re-formed the fleet, and moved forward side by side again. As for those who fell behind and those who were buried in the belly of the fish, no one would miss them, let alone commemorate them.
Moving along the Styx River, Fitch came to the fourth floor. The boat kept stopping, leaving only the scenery along the way. This was a world of fire, burning everywhere, and even the Styx River was no exception. The captain urged everyone to enter the cabin. Only near the rudder wheel on the deck could completely prevent fire, and he could not guarantee the safety of others.
The contract demon is not afraid of the damage of ordinary flames. He will not be damaged by the environment on this level. On the contrary, he will feel comfortable and full of vitality. Therefore, Feiqi did not go down. He chose to stay on the deck, while continuing to read books, while observing the direction of the ship. Although the captain was very professional when he met the fishman before, no one can guarantee that he did not have the same professionalism when cheating people. The captain expressed his understanding of the contract demon's choice. He did not stop or prevent Feiqi from doing this. After all, this choice is normal, and many devils are like this.
The Styx is not afraid of fire, but does not like being burned, so it is very short on the level of Hell. In other words, Fitch took a closest road to travel towards the next target. The third floor of the swamp, the second floor of the steel city, the Styx is longer than the fourth floor, but also much shorter than the sea of ice on the fifth floor. This ship, which was already fully loaded on the fifth floor, wanted to leave the devil's world as soon as possible so as to safely cash out the harvest this time, so all "side missions" were not triggered.
