If it were an ordinary person, he would have turned into thin pieces of smelly meat by now, but Hamuradi still did not die. After vomiting a mouthful of black blood, he stood up shakily.
But Hamuradi, who seemed to be on the verge of collapse, suddenly let out a creepy laugh.
"Ha, haha, ah hahahaha... Very good! You, you guys are very good. The biggest loss I, Han Muradi, have ever suffered in my life was at the hands of my own grandson... This is very good!"
Seeing that Hamuradi was still alive and could even threaten her, Rita was about to go up to finish him off, but was pulled back by Lukoya. The dragon lady, who always had a smiling face, showed a rare serious expression at this moment, and even opened her eyes.
"Don't go over there, there's something wrong with that guy!"
Lukoya is a dragon god after all. Although the clone does not have the almost omnipotent power of the original body, at least the knowledge and experience are completely consistent with the original body.
So she could tell at a glance that Hamradi had made a deal with some "bad things", but the deals with those bad things were often the fairest. As long as mortals handed over their most precious things, they could exchange them for unimaginable power.
Knowing that he could not escape death, Hamradi decided to fight to the death.
However, at this moment, two powerful magical fluctuations descended from the sky with thousands of lightning bolts. The countless orange-yellow lightning intertwined to form a lightning cage the moment it landed on the ground, covering Hamuradi, who was emitting an ominous aura.
Hamradi staggered and fell to the ground, his eyes full of surprise.
"What did you do?"
"We made a shield for you to cut off your connection with those evil gods."
The one who answered Hammuradi was a spirited old man, who was Dick's mentor, the great magician Grandor, and the one who descended from the sky with him was his senior brother Behemoth.
When Tia went to the imperial capital before, she not only collected intelligence, but also delivered a letter for help to Dick's teacher on his behalf. However, the two old men were not in the imperial capital at that time.
Dick already has four Saint-level masters, but being cautious by nature, he is still not very reassured, so he asks his mentor for help.
Dick didn't even trust his cheap Duke father, but he still trusted his mentor very much.
As for dealing with Hamuradi, Dick certainly would not let the restrained teacher fight alone, but there would be no problem if they attacked together.
In fact, if Dick had not been afraid of complications, he could have directly released the news that Hamuradi appeared in Laguge. By then, who knows how many top warriors would come to kill him!
However, Behemoth who appeared together surprised Dick a little.
The appearance of the two old magicians was very cool, and the lightning cage they jointly brought down also played a crucial role.
The function of this magic barrier is to completely isolate Hamuradi.
To put it in another way, this cage is like an electromagnetic shield, which cuts off Hamuradi's network cable and prevents him from continuing to gain power from the evil god with whom he has signed a contract.
If it was Muradi in his prime, this cage would not have been able to trap him. Even without the help of the evil god, he would have had the means to break it. But he was now at the end of his strength. Without the support of the evil god, his fatal injuries alone were enough to kill him.
It is no exaggeration to say that Dick's men and the two old magicians, without any prior communication, performed a perfect "combination technique".
Hamradi was finally exhausted and knelt on the ground in despair.
He lost!
Looking at his body that was about to collapse and disintegrate, Hammuradi looked up at Dick, who had gotten him into this situation, and couldn't help but reveal a sad smile on his face.
"It seems that what Her Majesty the Queen said is right. I am just a simple-minded warrior and I really can't handle these conspiracies and tricks. But the Dead Tree Party still exists without me, and my companions will not let you go."
"In life, you will always offend some people. I can handle it, so you don't need to worry about it, Grandpa."
Everyone present could see that Hammuradi was almost at the end of his strength. Instead of going up to finish him off, it would be better to maintain the barrier and keep the player "offline".
Hamuradi's gaze, which was always directed at Dick across the barrier, seemed somewhat complicated.
"Any final words you would like to say?"
"Last words? That kind of thing doesn't matter. I might as well tell you a few interesting little secrets while I'm still breathing."
When Hamradi said this, he had a half-smile on his face. It was obvious that the little secret he revealed before his death was not meant with any kind intentions.
And it is indeed so. What he said was more deadly than the other, the kind of secrets that are worse off than unknown.
The first is the nameless deity he encountered in the palace when he assassinated Emperor Hessen. He was a demon who theoretically had been exterminated by the elves ten thousand years ago, and he was also a rare sorcerer.
It would be a great offense for an emperor to keep such a monster!
However, the demon did not kill Hammuradi on the spot, but cursed him.
This curse turned Hammuradi into a living dead, his soul and body suffering unspeakable pain all the time.
So, in order to remove the curse, Hamuradi, who had fled in a panic, took great pains to find Dick's grandmother, a succubus girl with extremely pure blood. Her name was Lilith. This name is very common among succubus, just like Chinese girls are called Cuilan and Cuihua.
The sexual magic of the succubus is the most powerful spell to break the curse in the world. Although the body fluids of the succubus are addictive, compared with the torture brought by the curse, the problem of addiction is not worth mentioning.
But the curse cast by the demigod-level sorcerer was no small matter. Although Lilith had pure bloodline, she could only mitigate the power of the curse at first but could not really remove it.
So for his own sake, Hammuradi began to train Lilith and help her improve her strength.
And in the process, Lilith seemed to really fall in love with Hammuradi.
The succubi had average talent for magic and martial arts, and their realm improvement was very slow, but Hammuradi was at the peak of the Saint level after all, and with all kinds of rare treasures he brought back from the Holy Kingdom of Elves, it took him a full hundred years to finally bring Lilith into the Saint level.
And Lilith is probably the first holy-level succubus in this world.
The ability of a holy succubus to remove curses is naturally extraordinary, and she successfully removed the curse cast by the deity, but the physique of the living dead has not been eliminated for too long, so Hammuradi has a bloodless and eerie dead face.
At the same time as the curse was lifted, Lilith also gave birth to a daughter for Hammuradi, who was Dick's biological mother, Yelina.
Things had come to this point, and everything sounded perfect, but it was a pity that Lilith's sincerity was all given to Hamradi, the cold-blooded and ungrateful ungrateful man.
Hammuradi had been using Lilith from the beginning to the end, treating her as a tool to break the curse. Moreover, after helping Lilith to reach the Saint level, he discovered that the blood enhancement obtained by the succubus after entering the Saint level was extremely weird, so weird that it made Hammuradi a little uneasy.
So Hammuradi killed Lilith, who loved him so much, with his own hands!
As for Lilith's daughter Yelina, although this child looks no different from a pure-blooded elf, she is indeed half succubus, which is considered an unclean offspring in the eyes of the elves who have racial discrimination deep in their bones, and a shame in the eyes of Hammuradi.
So Yelena was sold by her own father to Duke Best. The two conducted the transaction face to face, and the old Duke happened to have a "business" and found Hammuradi.
At this point, Hamuradi smiled very sinisterly. He looked at Dick, whose face was not so good, and spoke word by word.
"Your father actually knew that your mother was half succubus. He knew it from the beginning, and he bought your mother just for this half bloodline."
091. The Master's Great Revenge is Avenged
Dick's one-quarter succubus bloodline had always been a secret known only to a few people. Even Dick himself didn't discover it until he was fifteen or sixteen years old. This was all thanks to Belfa and Rita. In a sense, they "tasted" it out.
The reason why the secret of his bloodline was kept hidden was because his mother Yelina had the appearance of a "pure-blood elf", which made it impossible for people to tell that she was actually a mixed-blood, and thus led to misunderstanding of Dick's bloodline.
So after understanding his actual bloodline composition, Dick speculated that the reason why the old duke wanted to kill his Yelena was most likely because he discovered that Yelena had succubus bloodline, and he had been poisoned by the succubus's body fluids without knowing it, so he had to kill in order to quit his drug addiction.
But now Hammuradi told Dick that his father actually knew from the beginning that his mother was half succubus, and even bought Yelena from Hammuradi just for this half succubus bloodline.
Combined with what Hamradi said before, that he was cursed, so he specifically went to find Dick's grandmother Lilith in order to remove the curse for himself, Dick suddenly thought of something.
When Hamuradi saw Dick's thoughtful expression, he knew that his goal had been achieved.
"Why are you telling me this?"
Hamuradi, whose whole body was about to fall apart, smiled without saying a word. Then his eyes slowly lost focus and soon became dim and lifeless.
Seeing this, Grandol and Behemoth, who were maintaining the barrier, were about to stop and cancel the spell, but they heard Dick's reminder.
"Teacher, don't stop yet. Maintain the barrier for a while. He might be pretending to be dead."
Hearing Dick's reminder, the two old magicians nodded silently and continued to maintain the magic supply to the barrier. With their magic power, it would not be a problem for the barrier to last another three days and three nights.
Han Muradi, who seemed to be dead inside the barrier, suddenly came back to life and turned to look at his good grandson outside the barrier, his eyes filled with boundless anger and murderous intent.
Hamuradi was indeed pretending to be dead, but fortunately Dick was very cautious.
At this time, the battle on the beach was basically coming to an end. Five hundred fully armed soldiers rushed to the scene from an ambush a thousand meters away and quickly surrounded the stranded pirate ships.
Some of the pirates on the ship still wanted to resist, but a group of rabble were no match for the well-trained soldiers and were quickly wiped out. The rest of the minions laid down their weapons and surrendered.
After the soldiers boarded the ship, they quickly rescued a large number of slaves from the cabin.
These poor people were the "cargo" brought by the pirates for trade. When they were forcibly dragged ashore, they felt like dumplings being shaken in a drum. Many of them were injured and disoriented, not knowing what was happening outside. They were dragged outside by the soldiers, and as soon as their feet touched the ground, they immediately knelt on the ground and vomited.
It is worth mentioning that when the soldiers were searching the ship, they also found a dozen elven girls. They were also wearing collars and shackles that symbolized slavery, but their living conditions were better than those of ordinary slaves.
At this time, the battle between Joel and the pirate leader Tiger was the only one that had not yet ended on the beach.
Some soldiers wanted to help when they saw this, but they were glared back at by Yoel, so they had to stand in a circle and watch.
Yoel was determined to kill Tiger alone, considering him as his "prey".
Fortunately, although Tiger had high attack and thick blood and was particularly resistant to attacks, he was ultimately much slower than Yoel. Yoel seized the opportunity to climb over his head, grabbed his head tightly with both hands, and suddenly rotated his upside-down waist. Relying on the powerful inertia, he twisted Tiger's head 180 degrees to the left, then cut his throat with a knife, and used brute force to pull out his head and spine together.
Blood spurted out from Tiger's broken neck like a fountain. Joel bathed in the blood rain, holding the enemy's head high in one hand and showing a sunny smile to Dick not far away.
This extremely shocking and contrasting scene left many people present stunned.
"It's over, we won!"
Accompanied by cheers, Dick finally breathed a sigh of relief and ordered his troops to set up camp on the spot.
They gained a lot in this battle, including rescued slaves and captured pirates, more than a thousand people.
The last to enter were the medical team led by Natasha and Shizuka Marikawa. The medical staff conducted simple physical examinations on the slaves on the spot and found that the vast majority of them had serious health problems and they only looked rosy.
After questioning, we learned that these slaves had been abused by the pirates. Before docking, the pirates gave each of them a glass of strong liquor mixed with gunpowder, which made them look good, but in fact they were very weak. Many of them were injured when they ran ashore.
If they were asked to move on foot under such circumstances, many of them would probably die on the way before they even reached the nearest village.
So before dark, a temporary military camp was built, and the cook moved the 350 kilograms of goods that Dick brought to trade directly into the kitchen, added water and oil to make fragrant pancakes, and distributed them to the rescued slaves together with the broth.
As for the captured pirate minions, they could only eat cold and hard whole wheat bread (baguette from another world) with cold water. Dick specifically instructed the cook to only give the prisoners one-third of the ration. He must not let them eat too much, but just make sure they did not starve to death.
After nightfall, the two old magicians confirmed again and again that Hammuradi was indeed dead. Then they lifted the barrier. Black Gun Dai came forward to check and just lightly touched the body with his hand. The body immediately shattered into ashes, leaving only a space ring.
As for the artifacts on Hammuradi, none of them were found.
Grandol and Behemoth speculated that what Hammuradi held should be the evil god's artifacts bound to his soul. Once Hammuradi died, these artifacts would also self-destruct.
This is a defense mechanism created by the evil gods. They do not want their creations to fall into the hands of decent people, because the decent gods are very likely to follow the imprints of divinity on these artifacts and directly find their real bodies hiding in the demon world to beat them up.
It’s just like when you do something bad and accidentally reveal your real IP address, they will come to check your water meter.
After emptying Hamuradi's space ring, Dick looked at the junk on the ground in front of him and thought to himself that his cheap grandfather was really poor!
The most numerous things in the entire space ring are diaries, which are piled up like a small hill, with more than 500 of them.
Because elves have a long lifespan, no matter how smart they are, they will slowly forget many things over time. Therefore, many elves have the habit of writing diaries to aid their memory.
These diaries can help Dick understand Hamradi's experiences over the past thousands of years and obtain a lot of information related to the Dead Tree Party, but other than that, they are of no other use.
Apart from these diaries, the rest of the items are daily necessities, and only those enchanted daggers are worth some money.
Obviously, Hamradi is not the kind of person who would carry all his wealth with him.
Dick discussed with the two teachers and decided not to make the news of Hammuradi's death public for the time being. Although the reward for Hammuradi was very high, a huge sum of money, the money would definitely not be paid in real terms, and the troubles that would follow would be endless.
The two old magicians wanted nothing but to kill Hammuradi, because their mentor, Dick's master, the famous great magician Levid, was assassinated by Hammuradi.
Now that their master's revenge has been achieved, the two of them can finally put their worries to rest.
Behemoth, in particular, felt that his state of mind had changed a little, and immediately said that he would go back to practice in seclusion immediately, hoping that he would have a chance to break through the Saint level and enter the realm of sub-gods.
Watching his senior brother leaving in a hurry, Grandol sighed with envy.
"Your uncle is more talented than me, maybe there will be a chance this time."
"Teacher, you can do it, I believe in you!"
Hearing the compliments from his most proud disciple, Grandor smiled and patted Dick on the shoulder, and the two apostles returned to the tent. Belfa and Rita had already prepared dinner and left at Dick's signal.
Grandol glanced at the two beautiful girls and joked to Dick.
"You kid, you acted like a nerd in the academy, and you've been the governor for less than a year, and you're surrounded by beautiful women. Don't waste your time on training."
"Don't worry, teacher. I have already touched the threshold."
"It's not hard to reach the threshold, but it's hard to cross it. It took me thirty years to reach this step. Your uncle is even better than me, and it took him seventeen years. But at this point, talent and luck are more important than hard work."
"Let's not talk about this for now, Teacher. You just came from the imperial capital. What's the situation there now?"
When Dick mentioned the imperial capital, Grandol knew what Dick was asking about. After the old magician pondered for a moment, he frowned and sighed.
"I don't care about politics, but the current situation in the imperial capital can be said to be turbulent. After the death of the crown prince, many people's minds became active. The disturbance has caused the Magic Academy to be disturbed. It's annoying! I obviously don't want to get involved in those things, but there are people who come to test you every few days. It makes me want to leave the imperial capital for a while and find some peace and quiet."
After all, Grandol is a holy-level magician. Even if he is not as good as a strategic-level magician like Yashen, he is at least at the tactical level. Therefore, even if he expresses neutrality, there will still be people who are worried.
"Then you can stay here with me for as long as you want."
"Please don't do that. Don't bring more trouble here. You'd better stay away for the time being and try not to go back to the capital."
