Chapter 1016 Can Anti-Mosquito Amulets Get Cheaper? Look at the Plague Lord!
In order to hold the Archbishop of Teramo accountable - although people are dead, their disciples and descendants are still there. It is worth discussing whether the posthumous honors should be posthumously recognized as saints and enshrined in the church;
In order to increase the military strength in the Storm Islands area, for example, whether to transfer the 18th-level golden-robed archbishop there, or simply go to a legendary or quasi-legendary;
In order to decide whether to send a large army from the Holy See to attack the Eagle City again, at the very least, the mage tower at the port must be pulled out...
A group of golden-robed archbishops, quasi-legends, had an earth-shattering quarrel in front of the Pope. There is no way. Although there are four major governorships in the New World, everyone knows that only the Governorship of Storm Islands and the Governorship of Pellu are fatter——
With the rebellion of the Netherlands, the independence of the Capetian Kingdom, the bankruptcy of the royal family of the Brolin Kingdom, the seven electors of the Rhine Kingdom, and three border electors secretly causing trouble, the income of the Viceroyalty of the Storm Islands is particularly important to the Holy See. !
Without a large amount of gold and silver, how can the Knights support themselves?
Without a large sum of gold and silver, how can we secretly support those magicians trained by the Holy See themselves and those who have escaped?
Without a large sum of gold and silver, how can we win over some nobles to defect to the Holy See instead of clinging tightly to the royal family?
By selling indulgences?
"The majesty of the Lord of Glory cannot be desecrated!" A deputy chief referee of the tribunal said impassionedly:
"Especially the evil god named Eagle God. It is said that he has usurped the power of certain suns, which is a great blasphemy to our god! I suggest that a legend be sent as the leader to lead the army and attack with thunder. That country!”
"There are two false gods in that country." The deputy leader of the Holy Knights said coldly:
"Since the heretical magicians have been there, they will leave something behind... It is conservatively estimated that there is at least a high-level mage tower in the false capital of the Eagle Kingdom, and there is a person who can rely on the mage tower to communicate with the false gods. There are high-level powerful people who can compete.”
He raised his eyelids and gave the referee a cold glance:
"What information does the Inquisition have about the situation in the Eagle Kingdom? The power of the false god? The level of power? How many warriors and spellcasters are there below the false god? How strong is their power? What is the nature of their power? Those who stay in the false capital How many magicians are there, and who is the strongest?"
"The loyal servants of my god have suffered heavy losses in this battle." Under the cold eyes of his colleagues, the deputy chief referee replied bravely:
"To know this information, we need to send people to investigate in detail... Governor Bamond of the Storm Islands has already sent people there, but the news does not come back so quickly."
"The power of the Eagle Country shouldn't be too strong." The Pope lowered his head and the cardinal of the diocese system added slowly:
"Otherwise, Brother Teramo should not have been confident that he could win. It was just bad luck that the natives and heretics united, catching him off guard, and then he died for our Lord... And now, most of the heretics have followed. Went back on the airship."
"snort!"
The vice-captain of the Holy Knights glared angrily. It's not your passion to send out an army and lead it, right?
It’s not you who is working hard to survive, right?
With two pseudo-gods who may be level 16 or 17, an unknown number of indigenous warriors, and the bombing of high-level mage towers, the main force entering the jungle, climbing peaks, and traveling through mountains and rivers to fight their way up are the young men of the Knights, right?
"According to public reports from the Kingdom of Kent, the heretical magicians harvested more than a hundred tons of gold during this battle. We have reason to believe that they actually obtained more."
The cardinal adjusted the golden pattern on the cuffs of his white robe and continued to speak slowly:
"When the indigenous country that pretended to be the Empire of the Sun was attacked and destroyed, the gold and silver we received was not much more than this amount. We have reason to believe that most of the treasures of the Eagle Country fell into the hands of heretics."
The sound of gentle exhalation came and went. All the treasures had been taken away, and the indigenous kingdom was not worthy of the Holy See's great efforts to attack. The Pope coughed lightly and paused the golden staff in his hand.
On the head of the stick, a diamond the size of a dove egg shimmered:
"The glory of our Lord is far-reaching. Our Lord is kind, tolerant, and merciful. As long as we influence them with a sincere heart, those lost lambs will eventually return to the path of our Lord."
"Amen."
The cardinals bowed their heads in salute. The Pope said calmly:
"Let's send people over first to stabilize the situation in the Governor's Region. As for the future strategy... the rainy season in the Storm Islands is coming soon. Within this six months, we have enough time to respond to changes in the situation."
As for whether to fight next?
Are you kidding me? If there is no sufficient intelligence and no sufficient benefits, why fight?
At best, the Holy See would give them a title, grant them a development order, or something like that, and let the second and youngest sons of nobles who have money and strength but no room for advancement, or the dilapidated nobles, spend a lot of money and bring them with them. Get people to go and get benefits.
Want to move the main force of the Holy See?
Since the golden fleet was killed, the new fleet has not been built yet!
"Build a ship! Build a ship!"
The gold brought by the airship was scattered out in handfuls. Spread it on the dwarves, spread it on the barbarians, spread it on the Dutchmen:
"Acquisition of various resources in large quantities! Oak that can be used to make keels, teak that can be used as masts, pine and fir that can be used as decks! As long as they meet the requirements, we want them all!"
"Buy steel! Buy coal! Buy all kinds of ores! We will collect as much as you want! Collect it in cash! Collect it in gold! If it is not convenient to collect gold coins, we can pay directly in gold bars!"
"Purchase linen, sisal and cotton yarn! We also want rubber! Unlimited purchases!"
Yellow gold or white silver falls into a person's eyes and cannot be pulled out on the spot. The Dutch, who had just finished the war and were impoverished and in urgent need of blood, received a large order promised by the parliament. They were willing to do business in small boats, in wind and waves, and avoiding warships:
Go to the Kuromon Peninsula!
Go to the wilderness!
Go to the Rhine Kingdom!
Go to the Cape Kingdom, secretly pay bribes to the Brolin Kingdom, and even these sea coachmen sail the ship all the way to the Black Continent in the south——
There, the best teak is produced, which is hard in texture, resistant to wear and corrosion, neither warping nor cracking; it can resist termites and sea insects in different sea areas. A ship made of teak, even if it is not reinforced by magic, will not be a problem for thirty to fifty years!
There, a lot of gems are produced. Ruby, sapphire, diamond, all kinds of gems, a handful can dazzle the human eye;
There are also products of various wild beasts produced there. If you are willing to go deep into the inland, groups of wild beasts are running on the prairie, with ivory, animal crystals, animal bones, everything you need!
"The price you charge is too low!"
With a lot of money, even [Business Baron] Perry Hayes personally came to Nevis to discuss business.
Facing the long list of acquisitions given by the parliament, he showed off his strongest bargaining power in his life, gesticulating and foaming at the mouth:
"You guys must know that we have to trade these supplies with human lives! If discovered by the Holy See's patrol fleet, you will die immediately! It's easy to reach the Black Continent. If you go in, you can still die 10% to 20% people……"
Even if they don't go ashore and stay at the mouth of the river, the mortality rate is quite high. Forget it if you are a knight or above and a strong warrior, you can handle it on your own.
Ordinary soldiers and ordinary sailors will start to have fevers, headaches, and chills when they stay for a while - some people can survive it, and some people will simply vomit blood, and it will disappear after vomiting...
"Yes, we know. The plague in the Black Continent is indeed very serious and makes people have headaches." The parliamentary negotiator responsible for receiving him smiled slightly and handed over a journal and a quotation:
"Our [Plague Lord], the wizard Gret Nordmark - you know his name, he is the one who cured the eldest son of Count Ostend - cracked the cause of the plague in the Black Continent. The article just Send it out so you can take a look..."
He diligently opened the journal to Grete's article and pushed it in front of [Business Baron]. Wait patiently for the other party to finish reading, and then push the quotation:
"If you want to prevent the plague, just use mosquito repellent! We have a mosquito repellent package here! Bracelets, pendants, belts, clothes... You can also engrave a magic circle on the boat! The quotes are all here!"
Baron Hayes looked a little dizzy. A belt costs 2,000 gold coins and a bracelet costs 3,000 gold coins. Can I get a discount if I buy more?
"It feels like... we worked our butts off for a boat trip, and the little money we made, was all taken away by you! - Is there anything cheaper?"
"Yes, yes! - This is a talisman obtained by the Eagle Kingdom. It is contaminated with the power of their snake god. It can prevent mosquitoes from approaching for a certain period of time!" The magician of the council diligently pushed over another box:
"It's just that the time limit is relatively short. It can only last about three months. 50 gold coins each...enough for you to go back and forth to the Black Continent!"
God knows, in order to make this kind of talisman, the magicians of the council basically scraped the outer and inner walls of the snake god's pyramid and the residence of the female snakes three feet, and the walls were even thinned!
Scrape it back, cut it into pieces, and insert each small piece into a copper pendant. Add the activation characters to activate the remaining power inside... Done!
There is also the pyramid of the Eagle God, such a powerful force of light! This should not be scraped back a layer, think carefully about how to use it?
Anyway, the Eagle Country owes a huge debt to the Parliament!
50 gold coins, three months, this price is still okay - especially if the quantity is large, there is a discount. Baron Hayes swept away enough talismans for 10 ships, and asked with a glimmer of hope:
"Is there anything cheaper?"
"This... maybe it will happen in the future..." The magician squinted at the journal on the table.
There are internal rumors that Master Nordmark has built a research institute in the New World with the purpose of studying methods to prevent and treat various infectious diseases - vaccines and the like - and has recruited a group of necromancers to go there and help.
At present, a group of people from the plague branch have set off, and we don’t know when the results will be available:
"Even if there is, it won't be soon, it will take at least a year and a half...and priority will be given to supplying the New World. We don't know how long it will take before it reaches us..."
