Strength 99999 but the Holy Sister

Tricia was about to say something, looked at Aisha, but swallowed it back - if it weren't for Hayes's strength, only Aisha could defeat him head-on.

"Oh, by the way, I plan to send these people to the Inquisition."

Elsa pointed to the cabin.

Tricia glanced at it and then looked away.

"Do you need me to take them away?" Tricia said with a smile, "I can send them to the prison on Sky Island first."

"Then trouble you."

After saying that, Aisha turned and walked towards the cabin.

At the same time, in the cabin, all the crew members looked at Dubot nervously.

"Love, be sure to tell me right away when she comes over."

Dubot warned Love.

Love was lying on the hatch looking out, looking very nervous - he couldn't understand a single word of the conversation between Elsa and the sea creatures. After all, the sea creatures spoke the sea language, and Elsa mostly communicated directly through Adele. In Love's opinion, it was just various sea creatures appearing and leaving.

Of course, this is scary enough.

Inside the cabin, Dubot's expression wasn't much better.

He warned again before retracting his gaze, looking around, and holding up a small wooden box in his hand with extreme caution - the box contained a small ball of gray powder, which was an extremely special toxin. It had no smell, could be dissolved in water, and could also be spread in the air. It was almost impossible to detect if one was not careful. This toxin was very toxic. Ordinary people would not notice anything unusual on the spot after inhaling a breath of air mixed with the powder, but would immediately become paralyzed and unable to move after just a few minutes, and would eventually die of cardiac arrest due to suffocation.

Even though he only had a small box of this toxin, he took it all out.

Now that the crisis of the sea people has been resolved, the only threat is Elsa. No one wants to go to prison. Prison is not a good place, especially once "those guys" outside know that they have been taken to the trial center, they will definitely try their best to kill them. Some of them have families and they will definitely not survive.

There is no other reason, simply because "those guys" don't want their mouths to be pried open by the trial and to say something that shouldn't be said, so silencing them is the best option.

As for whether those people can do it, they dare not bet.

Dubot lowered his voice and said, "As we agreed, once that nun comes over, I will sprinkle the poison powder out. You must listen to my orders and remember to hold your breath. Do you understand?"

"clear."

The crew members nodded one by one.

Dubot's plan was simple: he would use this toxin to kill Elsa. As for how to poison her? Dubot had to take a gamble—generally speaking, no one would be constantly on guard against airborne toxins, right? If he could get the toxin mixed in with the air, Elsa would accidentally inhale it upon entering the cabin, and his plan would be halfway to success.

The other half, of course, is their side. They must ensure that they are not affected by the toxin, so they have to hold their breath at the right time - they are all people who often deal with the sea, and each of them is a good swimmer, so holding their breath for a few minutes is not a problem.

Therefore, Dubot wanted to create a time difference. As long as Elsa was poisoned and lost her ability to move within these few minutes, and they were not poisoned, then they would win.

"Here she comes! She's here! But... but it seems like there's another woman here..."

Suddenly, Love lowered his head and called out in a low and hurried voice.

"An extra woman?"

Dubot was stunned for a moment, then his face turned fierce.

"Never mind, who cares if he's a woman or not. At this point, is there any other option? Let's get rid of this guy first! Take a deep breath!"

Following his command, everyone took a deep breath.

Dubot made a gesture, releasing the poison in his hand, and everyone held their breath. The gray powder immediately dispersed in the air, fading away in the blink of an eye, becoming barely noticeable in the dim light.

At this moment, Elsa also happened to arrive at the hatch.

Under everyone's nervous gaze, she walked down the cabin seemingly defenselessly.

The crew members retreated as if they had seen a ghost. Everyone held their breath and tried their best to look normal.

However, Elsa suddenly smiled.

"That's a good trick, but have you ever thought that it's actually useless to me?"

With Adele around, Elsa knew exactly what Dubot did in the cabin.

As soon as the words were spoken, the cabin fell completely silent.

Everyone stared at Aisha in horror. Dubot's eyes widened in shock, his heart pounding like a drum. What was going on? Why did she say that? Could it be...did this nun discover something? But, she didn't seem to be holding her breath.

Elsa certainly didn't—and didn't need to—hold her breath.

【-twenty four】

Her dashboard constantly reminded her that the air was highly toxic. But so what? Her health remained at [99999/99999].

Aisha had no intention of playing this game with them and just looked at Dubot calmly.

"Gather your men on deck."

Aisha said.

Dubot stared at Elsa unwillingly. Elsa glanced at him and said with a smile, "Why? You want to see me die from the poison? Then why don't we both stay here and see if you can't hold it in first, or I die of the poison first as you wish."

Dubot felt like his brain had crashed.

He had thought of many situations, but never this one.

What should I do? Should I stay and gamble with Elsa? Let's see who dies first?

He really didn't dare.

In the end, he reluctantly chose to give up and brought his crew to the deck, where Tricia was already waiting. As a strong light rose, a magic circle enveloped them. Before they could react, Tricia had teleported them directly to the prison on Sky Island - they didn't even know what was happening, nor where they were, and were at a loss.

553, Heading (4K1)

Inside the cabin, Aisha and Tricia roughly counted the other cargoes on the merchant ship.

Most of them are very common goods such as wine, cotton, tobacco and spices, which are mainly sold to the Kingdom of Yekasa. The rest are some magic stones, scrolls, books and minerals, which are very common things in the black market anywhere - in short, these goods are either smuggled goods, or products of black market workshops that are not recognized by the guild, or some strictly controlled resources, such as mithril ore, which is not something that can be bought on the market.

One of the boxes was filled with books of all sizes, new and old. Elsa flipped through a few of them and found that most of them were forgeries or rubbings, and there were also a small number of old books that looked very old.

For example, one of them is an internal book of the Imperial Magic Academy. Of course, it is not the original one, and the content is only a very superficial analysis of magic theory. This kind of books are not only circulated on the black market, some of them can even be bought openly on the market. There are even professionals who specialize in transcribing various books and selling them. Of course, this is an illegal business, but it is generally difficult to control. Therefore, unless the book is a high-level magic book or the content is deliberately tampered with to mislead, it will generally not be affected.

Others were research notes or magic books that were obtained from nowhere.

"This looks like a magic research notebook, doesn't it? It seems to have been written a long time ago. I wonder where these guys got it from."

Aisha flipped through it and found that many of the words were blurred.

"Magic research notes?"

Tricia suddenly came over. The thing in Elsa's hand obviously aroused her interest. If the Demon King had not suddenly launched a war, she would probably still be traveling around the world studying magic. To her, those old antique books sometimes meant some lost treasures. Of course, the probability was very small.

Aisha handed the research notes in her hand to Tricia, who took it and flipped through it with interest.

But soon, Tricia shook her head.

"Judging from the words and terms used in the notebook, this could be the research notes of an apprentice from hundreds of years ago."

"Hundreds of years ago...should I collect this kind of thing?"

Elsa looked at the problem differently. She thought it was incredible that a book from hundreds of years ago could be preserved so intact. Moreover, it was a pity that it ended up on a smuggling ship.

"That's not necessary, otherwise there would be too many things to collect. While these things are indeed antiques, the contents have long been obsolete, disproven, or simply filled with errors from beginning to end. If someone bought them and believed them to be true, they would most likely go astray. However, there are still many people who enjoy collecting them, stubbornly believing that old things are the best. That's why these things appear here."

Tricia said that she had seen too many things like this when she was traveling - in fact, most of the truly valuable books and notes had already been collected and preserved, and few had been discovered until now.

She closed the notebook in her hand, brushed the dust off the cover, and gently put it back into the pile of books.

"Besides... most books like this are someone's relics, which is why they appear in places like this."

Aisha prayed silently in her heart.

She casually picked up a book with a plain cover and opened it. After glancing at it for a few seconds, Elsa felt a little strange. She sensitively noticed that the content of the book gave people a strong religious hint.

"It's a book on esoteric Buddhism."

Tricia glanced around and made a judgment.

"The Esoteric Cult is a cult active within the Federation of Nations, carrying out religious activities in secret. They once grew to hundreds of thousands of followers, but were later discovered to have organized human sacrifice rituals, leading to their suppression by the Vatican. However, since they have been deeply rooted in the Federation for many years, they haven't completely disappeared, merely going underground," Tricia said, frowning. "The Vatican has been tracking the whereabouts of the Esoteric Cult for a long time. I never thought these people would dare to bring such a thing right under the nose of the Holy City..."

Elsa seemed to be lost in thought. The last time she came into contact with the esoteric cult was because of Adele's incident. The royal family of the Kingdom of Levis was in collusion with the esoteric cult. The matter was later handed over to the empire and the church for investigation. She didn't know what the result was now.

There are also some religious groups in this world with very few believers. The gods they believe in are often some gods that have not yet been identified and are circulated in stories, or other main gods and wild gods. For example, there are also groups among humans who believe in the god of the sea, and they generally carry out activities in coastal cities.

In fact, the Vatican rarely deliberately restricts other people's beliefs. This may be due to some kind of reverence for God or other considerations. Moreover, they expand faith by spreading welfare and promoting doctrines. Other religions have no competitiveness in this regard.

In other words, since the Holy See directly took action to suppress the Esoteric Buddhism, it can be basically concluded that there are huge problems with the Esoteric Buddhism itself.

Elsa looked at the book in her hands.

"I think they themselves may not know what kind of books are here."

In addition to these things, Elsa also found several muskets from the pile of cargo.

"These muskets were probably made by the artisans in the Kingdom of Yekasa," Tricia explained, noticing Elsa's interest. "The Kingdom of Yekasa has a group of exceptional craftsmen who love tinkering with these things. A hundred years ago, their wares were sold all over the world. After all, weapons that didn't require magic to operate were very practical tools for many people, even strategically significant. But that changed after the advent, promotion, and development of magical science. Now, the Empire's magical weapons have replaced them as the most popular item."

It can be said that these muskets are already obsolete antiques. Few people still use them now. Perhaps they are only relatively popular in the Kingdom of Yekasa.

“I’m quite interested in these things.”

Elsa smiled.

Put several muskets into the space equipment.

"I didn't expect you, Elsa, to be interested in collecting antiques..."

In fact, this is not the case. Elsa just feels that these things make her quite touched. In her opinion, the ideas of the craftsmen in the Kingdom of Yekasa are not wrong. The place where she lived in her previous life is the best example. It’s just that in this world dominated by magic, pure mechanical science has not been widely developed.

After a rough inventory, Tricia waved her hand and sent all the other goods in the cabin directly to the sky island - these goods can be used as evidence of accusation and will be handed over to the court for processing. Finally, the contraband will probably be burned, and the others will be confiscated in the warehouse.

Aisha sank the already damaged merchant ship to prevent it from colliding with other ships passing by.

After finishing the work, Elsa returned to Sky Island. Elsa told Sophia roughly what had happened, leaving Sophia at a loss for words for a moment - she originally wanted to save those people, but it seemed that they deserved it. She naturally had no objection to Elsa's way of handling the matter. The Inquisition should be their final destination.

Not long after, Sky Island set sail again.

The moonlight was hazy, the starry sky was bright, and the Sky Island was flying high in the sky, just like an ark sailing above the sea of ​​clouds.

Elsa and Tricia sat on the city wall, gazing at the endless starry sky.

By observing the starry sky, Tricia can determine the correct course.

"The night is beautiful tonight."

Aisha said.

"Really? Let me see it too."

Tricia smiled and placed her hand in Elsa's palm, looking up. After the magical vision faded, bright stars twinkled in her eyes.

"gorgeous."

Tricia herself couldn't remember how long it had been since she had sat quietly under the night sky and looked up. In order to delay the erosion of the curse, she had to seal herself. For more than 30 years, she could only perceive everything in the outside world through magical vision. Before meeting Elsa, she had almost forgotten what the real world looked like. But now, as long as she wanted, she could hold Elsa's hand and use her own eyes to feel, feel the beauty of the starry sky, feel the temperature of the night, and feel the sound of the sea.

Basic astrological observation does not require the assistance of magic, so Tricia held Aisha's hand all the time.

Until she sneezed - although the barrier of the sky island had blocked the freezing sea breeze from the outside, the temperature on a winter night was still very low. Without the support of magic, Tricia soon felt the chill.

A cloak was thrown over her shoulders.

Elsa moved and sat next to Tricia. Looking at the hand Elsa extended to her, Tricia went straight into Elsa's arms without any hesitation.

Unlike Tricia, Elsa was originally dressed very lightly. Now that the cloak was given to Tricia, Tricia could almost feel Elsa's body temperature through the thin fabric.

It also has a soft touch and a nice smell.

The two did not speak.

After a long time, Tricia suddenly spoke.

"Elsa, I've been wondering: if the Demon King's original plan had been followed, No Hayes should have returned to the Sea Clan during the Demon King War. But the truth is, because of the Demon King's defeat, that time was delayed forty years. Elsa, do you think that if No Hayes is truly the Sea God's messenger, did the Sea God make this decision even though he knew the Demon King's defeat was imminent? Or did the Sea God originally hope that No Hayes would descend upon the Sea Clan forty years ago?"

"I can't make a judgment. I don't know Poseidon."

"Too……"

Ultimately, the intelligence we have is still too limited. Furthermore, why did the Sea God go to such great lengths to choose Bu Hayes over other sea dwellers? Was Bu Hayes's spirit's resurrection in the Sobron Valley a coincidence or a necessity? All of this raises many questions.

Tricia simply stopped thinking about it.

She moved her body, and after a while, she no longer felt cold.
