Chapter 1006 Governor of the Storm Islands: Where Are We? How Can I Have Such a Big Fleet?
Archmage Baierbo and the Snake God were at loggerheads and discussed for half an hour before reaching a preliminary agreement:
1. The Eagle Country provides all safety and convenience for Grete’s research, including but not limited to supplying food to researchers and prisoners of war, supplying various medicines and materials, sending people to guard prisoners of war, etc.;
2. In return, after Gretel achieved results in his research, he agreed to sell the medicine to the Eagle Country and tacitly allowed the Eagle Country to distribute it in the name of God. As for the price, it is tentatively determined to be a gold nugget the size of Gretel's fist for every 1,000 potions;
3. In view of this, the Eagle Country agrees that after the potion is completed and the supply begins, outsiders will no longer be the objects of human sacrifice.
4. If any conflict arises between outsiders in the country, it shall be handled by the Parliament itself; if any conflict arises between outsiders and the citizens of the Eagle Country, the conflict shall be resolved by the magicians stationed by the Parliament and the rulers of the Eagle Country... …
The agreement was reached, and the two parties specially made two gold plates, in duplicate, engraved with all the contents of the agreement, the Eagle God and the Snake God, the two 18th-level mages of the Council, as well as Tratoani, the Golden Eagle leader and Qi. Wakkoto, each left his own mark——
A gold plate was hidden in the temple, and a gold plate was brought back by the magicians and hidden in the secret vault of the Tower of Babel in Nevis.
Originally there was a magician who suggested, "Would you like to copy a few pieces and place one each at the entrance of the temple, the entrance to the market, the mage tower and the research institute?" As soon as he left the mouth, he was pulled by others:
For this kind of blatant selling of divine power, make a copy of it privately and put it in the warehouse of the Eagle Kingdom Mage Tower. Everyone can see it in private, but don't publicize it publicly!
If it is made public, the people of the Eagle Country will know that "Oh, this is not a power given by God, it is researched by magicians," and it will not work!
If it doesn’t work, it won’t sell at a high price!
Besides, how could the Snake God and the Eagle God put this agreement at the door of the temple and the big market? Isn’t it shameful enough to ask someone else to buy something that you can’t make yourself and treat it as your own gift? !
After the agreement was concluded, the last important task of this parliamentary expedition was also announced to be completed.
The next day, the sun was bright and the wind was strong. The solar sails on the airship were bulging. The magicians carried their belongings and called their puppets, and filed forward.
Archmage Baierbo pulled Gray under the airship and whispered:
"I can't stay here forever. You are far away in the Eagle Country. You have to know how to protect yourself... Try not to leave the institute. You must leave the institute, either with Cerela or with that guy Hines. Together……"
"Here at the research institute, you're done with the work. You're now level 10, and you're on the threshold of becoming a high-level mage. You should walk around as much as possible to broaden your horizons..."
"The broader your knowledge, the more stable you will be when you take the step of [Materializing the Meditation World]... At least one-third of the mages who are stuck at this step are those who only knew how to wait when they were young. In the laboratory, I don’t want to walk around..."
"Put those combat materials away and take a look at them when you have time... Even if you don't have as strong a fighting ability as the senior mage, you should at least know how to protect yourself..."
When he said something, Grete nodded. When he said something, Grete nodded. At the end of the sentence, Archmage Heins next to him became impatient:
"Hey, have you said enough? The whole team is waiting for you alone! Don't worry, I'm still here to watch, and I won't lose little Gretel!"
Archmage Baierbo: →_→
It’s just that you’re here that I don’t worry about!
What should we do if a good evocation mage falls into your hands and is misguided or misguided?
He hasn't even learned this under the Immortals or the high-level Necromancers. He has accepted the title of [Lord of Plagues] even though you are yelling at him!
It would be terrible if someone who has been with you day and night in the research institute and worked together for a year and a half turned completely towards the necromancy system! ——How can the necromancy system be as strong as the plasticity system? Can you get into Legend by playing with plagues and bacteria?
However, no matter how reluctant he is, Gretel will eventually have to walk his own path. Archmage Baierbo pressed his junior brother's shoulder hard and turned around to board the airship. The sails were fierce, all opened, and the airship rose from the ground——
"Those people are finally gone." In the temple, Chihuakoto leaned on a bare golden rod, looked up at the sky, and breathed a sigh of relief. The conscience of heaven and earth, if he doesn't leave, he will suffocate to death:
Those guys who look a lot like the "white ghosts" but call themselves "magicians" don't burn, kill, loot and do dirty things like the "white ghosts", but their actions are quite dark.
After staying here for a month or two, the walls of the temple were completely stripped bare, and all the gold, silver, gems, and precious feathers were wiped away!
The most annoying thing is that it was her female snakes who agreed to the reward, and they and their attendants personally collected these valuables and sent them up respectfully!
"Finally... gone?"
Tratoani touched the golden ring on his robe and watched the airship until the huge thing turned into a small dot and was no longer seen, then he took a long breath:
"I'm still worried that they won't leave... If they don't leave, they won't be able to leave..."
If we don’t leave, the rainy season in Tenoch will be here. This place is sunny half the year and rains half the year, with scorching sun on sunny days and heavy rains in the rainy season. Without the sun, in the strong wind and rain, that thing called an "airship" might not be able to fly?
If those guys were allowed to stay for another half a year, Tratoani's position would be unsafe. Even the Eagle God and the Snake God don't dare to mess with them!
It was quiet in the temple, and neither the Eagle God nor the Snake God showed any signs of miracles. What the magicians plundered was nothing more than some human wealth, and what was given to them was real benefits:
At the very least, it would be impossible for the Eagle God to take down the guy in a white robe with gold trim without any injuries if he relied on his own strength. At that time, a large part of the blood sacrifice that is eaten in the mouth will be used to repair the injury, and it cannot be used entirely to increase strength——
belch……
Those outsider smells are so beautiful! When will another batch of white ghosts come...
Although it was agreed not to use outsiders as subjects of human sacrifice, that meant adventurers who came to the Eagle Country. Those white ghosts who mobilized their armies and fought mightily should, maybe, have a good discussion with the magicians, or should they eat it?
The eagle god put his head under his wings, and the snake god curled up into a ball and closed his eyes quietly.
In La Habana, the capital of the Storm Islands, Governor Francisco Balmond was worried and uneasy.
The fleet set out for the Eagle Kingdom has been setting off for two or three months. In two or three months, not even a single message came back, let alone the triumphant return—
What happened to them?
Did the fight go well?
Is it because the Eagle Country has too much money, that city in the lake is too rich, and everyone is getting rich, so they robbed it and forgot to take it back?
Or are they not strong enough and are they confronting the indigenous country and trying to advance in a roundabout way?
Or maybe the disease demons are doing so well there that the entire Eagle Kingdom has been completely wiped out, and even half of the soldiers they brought there have been infected?
After all, although the cowpox issued by the Holy See claims to be able to resist smallpox, the effect is always not quite right...
He put his hands behind his back and walked back and forth in the room, making the wooden floor of the study creak. Although most of the troops sent out were Deputy Governor Alfonso's personal force, he also lent some of his elite troops——
What's more important is that even Archbishop Teramo, who is in charge of the diocese, brought a group of clergy there!
Not to mention the rainy season is coming soon.
Before the rainy season, as usual, a small fleet would sail to the Brolin Kingdom carrying the gold and silver collected from the Storm Islands.
The goods transported by this fleet need to be jointly signed by the governor and the archbishop before being sealed...
Otherwise, how can you explain it clearly? Which ones are the official property of the Storm Islands, which ones are private luggage, which ones need to be divided between the Kingdom and the Glorious Holy See, and which ones fall into private pockets...
What about the Archbishop?
The Archbishop is still in the Kingdom of Eagles, who represents his authority? Does the kingdom recognize the person who represents him and his mark?
His position as governor can only be maintained by continuously paying tribute to the kingdom, the Glorious Holy See, the Queen Mother, the king's mistress, the king's favorites and domestic ministers every year!
Otherwise, how could he, a court earl and the son of the previous king's mistress, secure this position?
Archbishop Teramo - Even if you don't come back on time, at least send a message back!
"How about I send a ship to take a look there?" Governor Balmond touched the black and curling mustache on his upper lip and pondered:
"Send a speedboat over and have a look... When people go to the plateau, the boats may not all run away. There are always people watching the boats at the port... Let them show you the way, go up and talk to the archbishop, and give you a reply at least. …”
Just as I was thinking of this, there was a loud thumping sound on the corridor outside. Immediately afterwards, Governor Balmond's most trusted lieutenant knocked hard on the mahogany door of the study:
"Your Excellency the Governor! Your Excellency the Governor! Come out and take a look! There is an emergency!"
Governor Balmond opened the door unhappily and came out. After walking through the corridor and coming to the living room, I saw a man wearing a three-cornered hat and smelling of low-quality tobacco, standing there a little awkwardly. When he saw the governor coming out, he grabbed his three-cornered hat and bowed respectfully:
"This is Captain Juan." The adjutant explained beside him: "Captain Juan visited the port where the Eagle Country Expeditionary Force docked half a month ago... He has important information that needs to be reported to the Governor."
"What's up?"
"Dear Governor, I can't believe my eyes..." The captain named Juan straightened up, his light blue eyes full of fear. He opened his arms, then closed them again, drawing a big circle:
"You know, go to the port in the Eagle Country. Although it is a small port, it has a lot of good things... We often stop there. Yes, there are mahogany, leather and rare birds. , very famous, very famous..."
"Get to the point!" Governor Balmond scolded impatiently. Captain Juan nodded and bowed:
"Yes, yes, the point. Two months ago, I saw the fleet of the Governor's Palace there, our own fleet, and I also did a small business with them... But this time I went there Go, there’s not a single boat there! Not even one!”
Returned? !
Governor Balmond's eyes lit up. He immediately knew it was impossible: Captain Juan had already returned. If Deputy Governor Alfonso's fleet returned, it would be impossible for none of them to return to port until now...
Even if you encounter a storm on the way, at least, at least, there should be a few coming back...
"Moreover, a tower was built in that port! A very, very high tower!" Captain Juan waved his hands and gestured repeatedly:
"The top of the tower emits a very strong light, a bright white light that can be seen dozens of miles away at night! The body of the tower is engraved with an evil six-pointed star pattern..."
