Chapter 0185: The Witch's Five Fireball God Cult (3)
Charlotte Millet, the witch leader of Port Royal, was working in the Governor's office in the former City Hall.
Wrong! At this time, there should be no governor in Port Royal, and now, this place, called the office of the Archon of Port Royal, will be more appropriate.
Now Charlotte is not only the chief consul of Port Royal, she is also the high priest of the Cult of Flame God that she created, and is in charge of all the military and political affairs here in Port Royal, as well as the Witch Academy under the Flame God Cult and the Flame God Cult, and she is now the headmaster of the Witch Academy under construction.
At this time, Charlotte Millet was wearing a delicate and tight-fitting golden full-body armor, sitting behind the main seat in the office.
The delicate and compact armor showed off her bumpy and perfect body, and in front of her golden breastplate, there were five small red flames that were burning with magic spells like theirs, plus her original beauty, and the temperament that began to become confident and fierce after she began to master some magic, all these factors combined to make her, a girl in the best years of integrity, as beautiful as an angel in the sky!
It is precisely because of this that in the past two months, after having her own charm bonus, under her raising of arms and the absolute strength she showed, countless young men and women willingly fell under the glory of the Flame God Cult, so the Flame God Cult led by witches that she built single-handedly took shape.
Perhaps, the reason why she was able to go so smoothly is also related to the atmosphere here in the New World.
People here, especially young people, are more receptive to new things and have a crazy element of risk in their bodies. For those people, let alone turn to witches, if there is enough temptation, let them change jobs to become pirates, I'm afraid they will enthusiastically sign up, right?
After all, this is not the European continent, and those who dare to come to the New World and come to the Caribbean to make a living, who has long put life and death out of the way? Since they can gain power and wealth by taking refuge in witches, they have no reason to refuse.
Besides, the emperor is far away in the New World, and the witch is so powerful, it is always not wrong to find such thick thighs to hold together!
You know, according to the propaganda of other witches, the goddesses of fire have come to the mortal world to spread magic, but what about the angels of the church? Until now, they have only existed on the frescoes. Therefore, young people who are bold and unwilling to be lonely will also know how to choose by themselves.
Sincere! Sincere! Sincere!
As Charlotte was approving a paperwork, there were three short, clear knocks at the door.
"The door is unlocked, come in."
Hearing someone knocking on the door, Charlotte had to put down the quill in her hand, leaned back slightly on the back of the chair, changed to a comfortable sitting position, and looked at the original Weatherby who opened the door and walked in? Governor Swan.
However, he is no longer a Governor, Port Royal does not have the position of Governor now, he is now just an assistant consul in Port Royal, under the command of Chief Consul Charlotte, who is responsible for sharing some of the idle affairs of Port Royal.
And Charlotte these days, it is all thanks to the cooperation of the respected Weatherby Swan in front of her, she can initially familiarize herself with government affairs and gradually control the entire Port Royal, until now, there are many things that are still inseparable from each other, she is very satisfied with this old nobleman who is skilled in government affairs, with him, he can help herself a lot.
In particular, after Charlotte personally taught the other party's daughter, the restless Miss Elizabeth, his only daughter, to the Cult of Flames, so that it was completely branded as a witch, the old nobles of the British Empire began to serve Charlotte and the Cult of Flames with all their hearts.
After all, there's no way back for him now, is there?
At that time, if he is still willing to give up his baby daughter and return to China alone, then Charlotte's plan will be frustrated. Anyway, she wasn't afraid that this old nobleman would see through her plan, she deliberately recruited that Miss Elizabeth into the Flame God Cult and hyped it up, what could he do but accept his fate?
"What's the matter? Archon Swan? ”
Charlotte asked, and continued to look down at the papers.
Among their witches, there are only a few who are literate after all, and even fewer know how to handle government affairs, and it can even be said that there is no reliable one at present!
Now that the cause of the Flame God Sect has just developed, talents and the like still need time to be cultivated slowly, so in addition to doing many things herself, she must also rely on this former governor.
"Lord Charlotte! The construction of the Witch Academy outside the city is nearing completion, when will you have time to go and inspect it? ”
Weatherby? Swan looked at the girl sitting in his office and lowered his head slightly.
He looked at the witch leader and chief consul, and sighed softly in his heart, this young woman, her skills and abilities, he had seen it all this time.
Although she is still a little immature when dealing with some things, there is no doubt that this girl is a powerful guy, not only has great power in herself, but she is also greedy for political affairs, and many things can be started quickly, which is obvious to all.
How nice would it be if she wasn't a witch and didn't turn her own daughter Elizabeth into a witch? I will definitely try my best to cultivate her and recommend her to some young nobleman in the upper echelons of the kingdom, right?
"I know, if I have time, I'll go to the acceptance."
Charlotte was noncommittal, and did not say when she would go to the acceptance, but just responded.
The Witch Academy is very important about her layout, and it is impossible to say that it is not important!
Therefore, in order to build this witch academy with a huge area, she also specially arranged for it to be replanned and built on a high ground outside Port Royal City, which occupies dozens of acres of land!
This witch academy, in the plan, in addition to the small city walls around it, also has a main castle, several three-story small and medium-sized buildings. Originally, she thought it would take a long time, but she didn't expect that it was almost completed in less than two months?
"Why is it so fast? Will there be any problems with the quality? ”
Charlotte didn't know much about architecture, but out of the importance of the college, she still added a question.
"You know, because there is a group of pirates who don't have to eat, drink, sleep, or die to work as coolies, and because you've enchanted them, they don't dare to be lazy or run away, so ...... The construction process is much faster. ”
Weatherby Swan shrugged his shoulders and replied lightly.
Whoever has dozens of coolies who are not afraid of death and work hard and complain day and night, coupled with sufficient materials and funds, it is difficult to think about it! And if you hire normal workers to work, you can't work for long every day, plus the time for eating, drinking, lazing, and resting, the efficiency will definitely not be comparable to those skeleton pirates.
"Oh...... It turned out to be those pirates, it seems that they are still somewhat useful! ”
Charlotte's eyes narrowed slightly, and she decided that she would continue to enslave these villains and never give them freedom easily.
Now, in addition to the curse of the original Aztec gold coins, Charlotte has cursed each other with her half-hung magic mark, just like the one in Norrington's hand, if they dare to run, then they will wait to be burned alive by the magic flames!
In the past two months, in fact, she has not only planned a witch academy outside the city, but also built the first cathedral belonging to the Flame God Cult on the original church location in the city for their Flame God Cult missionary work.
What the? Where did the original church go?
Of course, it was burned to the ground by Charlotte! Do you think the oath she made was a joke?!
On the first night after little Anne and her sailed out to sea, Charlotte led people to burn the original church to the ground, and the priests who had bad deeds were all stuffed into the fire and burned, and the others were forcibly expelled from Port Royal.
As the saying goes: it is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years, and the witch's revenge is on that night!
They church, after provoking a group of women, and a group of witches with magical powers, still want to be okay? Now Port Royal, those church elements, have become wanted criminals, dead and fleeing, and there is no place for them anymore.
"That's right! How's the site for the Palace of Flames going? ”
After thinking about some unrelated things, Charlotte asked about what she cared about the most.
She is to build a magnificent palace for the co-lord of the witches, the only true god of the Cult of Flames, the supreme goddess who brings light and fire to their witches, and the only leader of the Cult of Flames, Anne Hasta, on the high mountain of Port Royal.
This matter has been decided a long time ago, and there is no room for sloppiness!
"That...... Lord Charlotte, we really can't do anything about this matter at the moment! ”
Weatherby Swan secretly wiped the cold sweat from his head, and he knew that the other party would definitely bring up this matter again.
You know, building a majestic palace requires materials, gold and manpower, which is a huge astronomical amount...... Even if a few hundred more pirates who are not afraid of death can help!
Even if the manpower can keep up, the materials will definitely not be able to keep up, and it will be a protracted and innumerable project!
"The construction of the Flame Chapel and the Witches' Academy outside the city, plus the laying of stone slabs on the road leading to the Witches' Academy, has consumed most of the materials and gold. At present, the coffers of Port Royal are running out of money! ”
Thinking of this, Weatherbiswan was so anxious that he had to pull out his handkerchief and wipe the beads of sweat from his forehead.
"Moreover, these days, you have equipped hundreds of Cult Knights and quite a few battle witches, and those armor, weapons, and war horses that need to be specially made are all expensive...... We're running out of money now, Lord Charlotte! ”
Weatherby Swan began to complain that these witches, they were too good at spending money.
When they asked for a hurry to build the armor, he was strongly opposed!
In his mind, an armored cavalryman, just a full set of equipment, war horses and horse armor, would cost more than dozens of gold coins? This is also outrageous, this is the era of muskets and artillery, what is the use of those armored cavalry? That's a waste of money!
"Out of money? So so fast? ”
Charlotte was a little surprised, she was not very proficient in these large finances.
She remembered very well that there were still a lot of gold coins in the vault! That's why she ordered the creation of the Knights of the Cathars, and also built the Witch Academy, but she didn't expect that the mountains of gold coins in the vault would be spent so quickly?
"There's really no money! My lord! I don't know where the cost of material procurement for the next stage will come from! ”
Weatherby Swan flipped through the financial data in his hand, and when he turned to a certain page, he spread it out in front of Charlotte.
"Lord Charlotte, you'd better see for yourself."
He didn't want to explain anything anymore.
During this period of time, witches have been forming armies, building churches and colleges, and purchasing a large number of building materials at high prices, coupled with the operation and consumption of other government functional departments, it is simply a waste of money, which is really not money!
"It cost more than a million gold coins? So could it cost so much? Aren't those pirates not payrolled? ”
Charlotte's eyes widened, she didn't expect that in just two months, she would spend so much money?
Now they only built a witch academy, a flaming church, and formed some armies, why did they spend so much?
“……”
After the two were silent for a while, Charlotte was also a little out of shape.
"Tell me, Weatherby, what is the most prosperous and wealthy city closest to Port Royal?"
Charlotte's eyes narrowed slightly, and she said something that made Weather's heart tremble.
She has already decided, if she has no money, she will rob it!
Anyway, sooner or later, the power of their witches will expand, and sooner or later they will radiate and dominate the entire Caribbean and even the entire New World!
Since they have to fight sooner or later, let's take advantage of the present time to continue to find a rich port to occupy it, and then, in a short time, they don't have to worry about money again.
Boom~! Boom~! Boom~!
Just as Chief Governor Charlotte was about to discuss with Weatherby Swan which port city to go to make money, there was a sudden rush of bells ringing in the direction of the port.
"The bell rings...... What's going on? ”
Charlotte looked at Weatherby Swan, a little confused.
She seemed to have some impression of the rhythmic bell, but for a moment she couldn't remember what it meant.
"This ...... As if it was an alarm when the enemy was about to storm the port? ”
Weatherby Swan didn't know too well that Port Royal seemed to have been at peace for a long time, and there had never been a large-scale invasion of enemy fleets.
"Then I'll go out and ask someone now?"
When Weatherby Swan was about to turn around and go out to ask a soldier who was proficient in bell communication, he found that two people suddenly pushed the door and rushed in, and the thick solid wood door frame almost hit him in the nose.
When he looked closely, he realized that it was two young girls in red armor and golden cloaks, who looked anxious, and they were two of the five leading witches.
"Coria? Mary? What are you ...... Did something happen? ”
Seeing that it was the two sisters, Charlotte quickly stood up.
She knew that since the two of them had come here to look for her in such a hurry, coupled with the rush of the bell just now, something big should have happened!
"Sister Charlotte!"
"It's the Caribbean Fleet of the British attacking! According to the soldiers who gave the order, they had about dozens of battleships! ”
Twelve-year-old Corria Beaufort and fourteen-year-old Mary Chaska, who walked up to Charlotte and gave a military salute on their breasts, replied.
Over the course of the day, they had begun to condense their own magical powers, and had learned several new spells, most of which had been taught to them by Charlotte in simple spell grammar.
"Dozens of warships? Hehe! Looks like someone has sent us money and coolies. ”
Instead of worrying, Charlotte laughed easily.
These people are really unwilling, it seems that they don't know yet, what are they going to face?
Do they still naively think that it is still an era when they can dominate the world with giant ships and cannons?
No! They were wrong!
When their goddess of fire came to this world and passed on her magic, the world had gradually begun to change!
Now, it's time for the world to really face the power of witches, although most of Charlotte's magic power is obtained through contracts, and the strength of these little witches under her command is not high, most of them rely on magic bracelets to obtain spell casting ability, but, compared to those ordinary people, this is enough!
"Call all the sisters and the Knights Cathar, and we'll head to the port right now!"
Charlotte sneered, picked up her red cloak from the hanger, tied it, put on her golden helmet directly, and walked out of the door with a flick of her hand, followed by Corria and Mary.
She didn't have the slightest worry about the attack of the large fleet this time!
When the construction of the Witch Academy began, she began to recruit witches on a large scale, and with the help of those dozens of magic bracelets, they now have fifty-two battle witches who can float and fireball. There are also nearly 800 flame knights, their combat effectiveness is not ordinary, not only equipped with enchanted flame swords, short muskets, and the armor on their bodies is not the same, it has been specially enchanted by Charlotte, and within a certain period of time, it can simply defend against the close shooting of ordinary muskets.
However, this time Charlotte did not intend to let the cavalry attack!
She thinks that just a few dozen battle witches are needed.
When the time comes, fly directly over and surround the enemy's fleet, and those who do not surrender and dare to run will all be burned into torches! And the rest of them, do they dare not surrender obediently?
Therefore, she decided, this attack, must be completely annihilated by the enemy! Not only to calm people's hearts and stabilize their rule, but more importantly, to deter those hostile elements and nobles who are snooping on them in the shadows and unwilling to lose!
This time, she must make the Cult of Flame famous throughout the Caribbean! Even to shock the whole New World, and even the whole European world!
She, Charlotte, wants them to know: they witches will no longer be the object of slaughter! Witches are no longer wretched to the cross and burned and persecuted!
She swore that the flames of the Flame God Cult would let the enemies know what kind of existence was the real witch!
From now on, the era of their witches' revenge has come!
