The Great Seminary

Chapter 95 Stubbornness (Part )

The girl Lilia was surrounded by several companions, including men and women, young and old.

The two middle-aged men covered in blood should be her bodyguards.

An old lady so old that at least half of her teeth were dentures that gleamed with silver metallic luster, yet she maintained a calm demeanor in such a dangerous situation.

She should be Lilia's housekeeper or a tutor who has served her family for a long time.

The two girls, who were only three years younger than Lilia, should be her close friends.

There were three men left, one was about the same age as Lilia, one was five or six years older than her, and the other looked to be over thirty years old.

Looks like a suitor of Lilia or two close friends.

The group of people looked miserable, but in fact they didn't even have any scratches or injuries. It was obvious that they were just mentally traumatized.

It was obvious that there was a horrific scene of thousands of people eating each other in the smoke all around.

Even for the gentlemen and ladies of Xihe, who had long been accustomed to seeing slaves being cruelly tortured and executed, it was still a bit excessive.

The young ladies, in particular, looked even more panicked.

"Tonight was truly horrible." Lilia said with red eyes, "My sister's ship had just set sail when this happened.

Fortunately, two powerful warriors, Yasef and Esther, stayed behind as bodyguards to protect me and Nanny Long, otherwise the situation would have been unimaginable.

By the way, there is also Brother Wen Ya and Sirs Glenn and Sir Landun.

When the cannibals first appeared, the three of them stood in front of me, Wenwen, and Sister Amiya. They were truly brave gentlemen.

The girl's companions were obviously acquainted with Perry, and they simply nodded to each other as a greeting.

Then, Li introduced the only stranger present, Zhang Gui.
“This is my new friend.

Sir Liyang from Donghezhou holds the hereditary rank of general."

Lilia showed an innocent look of confusion when she heard this, "Hello, Sir Liyang.

In your ancient East, are military ranks also hereditary?"

Zhang Gui explained with a smile:
“Yes, in my home country, during the Ming and Song dynasties, soldiering as a profession was hereditary.

Similar to Western knights, but more complex.

For example, my hereditary rank of Dragon and Tiger General allows me to have a semi-private army of no more than 10,000 people.

For this, the emperor awarded me a port town that had only been open for two or three months to use for military expenses.

But this was clearly not enough, so I turned my attention to the rich ocean.

Our enemies, the Yuanshan people, enjoy mutual benefits with you Western merchants through maritime trade.

I can do the same.”

"Oh, it sounds like you are a noble but enlightened person..."

Lilia stared with her big black eyes, and was about to have a business blow job with Zhang Gui.
Suddenly interrupted by the sound of church chanting of the new god Yeshua in the city.

The church bells that usually don't ring also started to ring "ding ding dang..."

It blends perfectly with the solemn and sacred singing.

A soft white light shone from the church dome, casting light on the devastated city.

Wherever the light reached, the cannibal's movements, which were almost the same as those of a normal person, suddenly became stiff.

The risk is drastically reduced.

Then an eagle's cry resounded through heaven and earth, and all the light turned into a huge white eagle, rushing towards the pitch-black sea.

In the Bible of the new god Yeshua of Xihe, when God first appeared before the shepherd Yasuo, he was a pure white eagle!
The white eagle flew and illuminated the entire coastline.

It also illuminates a lone boat hidden safely in the hurricane amidst the raging waves.

In ancient times, the ancestors of the four continents used stone tools to flatten and hollow out tree trunks, smear them with wet mud, and burn them to make canoes.

To this day, only the indigenous tribes of South Chizhou still use this ancient and extremely crude vehicle. However, using this means of transportation for a long-distance ocean raid is nothing short of a pipe dream.

'God is established in his own kingdom, all-knowing and all-powerful, and he will feel what he sees.'

Zhang Gui, who was standing on the land of Giant Snake Head Island, was completely unaware of the existence of the lone boat in the sea.

But when he saw it with his eyes, he immediately felt it in his heart.

“Is that a divine weapon, a divine weapon crafted by the gods themselves!

In theory, it's a treasure of the same extraordinary level as 'The Exploitation of the Works of Nature', or even higher!"

Pollis beside him sighed and said,
"Sure enough, it's those Aksumite devils again, riding on their moon boats and slaughtering cities everywhere.

The last time was a year ago in the Holy Tree City on the Ice and Fire Island of "Zhongluan Ya". This time, shouldn't it be the turn of the local port city of Xihe?

How could you end up in a civilized pioneer city on the same island chain? How unlucky you are!

For Zhang Gui, who experienced the Internet age in his previous life, information equals resources.

So he immediately asked, "Ms. Lilia, do you know the origin of the canoe that hid in the hurricane?"

Perry stared at the lonely boat and explained:
"That ship is a treasure left behind by the Moon God, a deity worshipped by the people of Aksum in South Chizhou. It is the Moon Boat.

You can sail to any place where the moonlight shines, forever and ever.

So whenever a strong man among the Aksumites was about to die of old age, he would board a moon ship and attack one of our Western port cities.

Retaliation for the ocean slave trade."

"If that's the case, why don't you Xihe people exterminate the Aksumites?"

"Mr. Yang," said Lisa, glancing at Zhang Gui as if he were a fool, "you call me a Westerner, and I call you a Dongshengzhou native.

It sounds like they are just two people in different places.

But in fact, they represent dozens or even hundreds of countries and hundreds of millions of people with different civilizations, histories, and religions.

Do you think there are only ignorant primitive natives in South Chizhou?

No, there were South Nile, North Nile, Upper and Lower Ecu, and powerful states like Aksum.

The first slaves from Nanchizhou to appear in our Xihezhou were not actually due to the slave-hunting business.

Rather, it was a holy war of revenge launched by the church of the great new god Yeshua against Upper and Lower Egypt.

Because the earliest Yesaya sect came from the slaves captured from Xihezhou purchased by Upper and Lower Ecu through ocean trade.

Zhang Gui was surprised and said, "Really? I've never heard of it before.

Such inside information should make you, the Xihe nobles and slave traders, change your stance and stand on the moral high ground.

How come I didn't know this after spending months in Civilization Vanguard City, Meat Gold, and Holy Ode?"

Pollis laughed, "It's really not a secret.

But don’t say that you are an Oriental guy who has only lived in the distant island city of Xihe for a few months.

Even among the common people who were born and raised in Xiga, few people knew that there was a powerful country in Nanchizhou that could not be conquered even if the New God Church launched a holy war.

The general public also does not know that going to South Chizhou to engage in the slave-hunting business, in addition to the losses in ocean transportation, is more likely to be retaliated by the mercenaries of the big country in South Chizhou, and be skinned and tortured.

I didn't know that investing in ocean trade bonds, which are regarded as one of the economic pillars of the country, ended up losing everything.

Apart from the fact that they had poor judgment and gave their money to the damned liar, it was more likely that the caravan they invested in was annihilated by the powerful Nan Chi.

Sometimes the lower and middle classes know too much, which is not in anyone's interest, right?

Or perhaps your Eastern nobles or politicians don't think so?"

Zhang Gui felt that he had nothing to say and was speechless.
