While Wu Xin and Cassano were explaining their money-making ideas, Shylock was meeting the emperor in Seville. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Although the capital of Spain is Madrid, Seville, as the economic center of Spain and one of the hubs between the Old and New Worlds, is even larger than the palace in Vienna, which is enough to set off the majesty and glory of Ferdinand I.

But the most majestic and glorious display is the scene outside the emperor's reception room.

"Sherlock, you've come just in time." The Emperor waved his hand at Sherlock, and then said to him, "Count for us how many sails there are outside this window, and I say there are twenty-five Galen, and His Highness Fugger says twenty-six." ”

"Lord Sherlock, don't come unharmed?"

"Your Highness Fugger, thank you for your concern."

The Spanish Archmage of the "Zhenguo" was also in this parlor facing the port, his style was completely different from that of Sazastan, and although he was powerful, he nodded politely to Shylock.

Although Sherlock himself is also a quite powerful compound powerhouse, the Fear Necromancer, but compared to his personal strength, there is also the huge Fugger Archmage of the Fugger Textile Association behind him, and the gap between the two sides is huge.

"Hurry, hurry, count."

"Yes, yes, one, two, three.............."

Although he knew that this was not "just in time", but that the emperor was giving himself a dismount, Sherlock immediately respectfully counted the battleships outside the window.

"Be serious." The Emperor said jokingly, "I made a bet with Archmage Fugger for this, and the stakes were not small. ”

"Yes, yes." Sherlock bowed repeatedly, "I must have counted carefully." ”

The Emperor's Drawing Room was extremely spacious and luxurious, filled with all kinds of curiosities of the peoples conquered by Spain, and this decoration was enough to make most of the audience feel extremely respectful and awe-inspiring, even the ambassadors of various countries inevitably did not perform well and could not resist the power of Spain.

But for other powers, these things are not enough, and Paris, London and Istanbul have similar rooms.

Originally, as the most important ally, Austria would not have been treated like this.

However, the last time Ladislaus approached the Spanish ambassador, he begged him to forgive him for the shabby of his parlor, for his curiosities had been sent to the soldiers at the front.

There was certainly a reason why Ladislaus was so rude, and that was because the Spanish side expressed the hope that Austria would pay off part of what it owed in the past.

The money borrowed by virtue of his ability is really painful, and of course Ladislaus will not say that he will not pay it back, but he needs to borrow more, borrow more.

Spain has always accepted the matter of paying off old debts with new debts and borrowing more, but recently the emperor was a little vague and not very happy about this matter, so Ladislaus cried and cried poor.

The refusal to repay the debt and the bad attitude of the past made Shylock realize the work of embarrassing the ambassadors of France and England (there were no diplomatic envoys between Spain and the Ottomans).

Spain's real treasure of majesty, her ocean-going fleet, now assembled in the port of Seville, with its nearly fifty galleons in number, was a great shock to everyone who saw them.

"Fourteen, Fifteen..............."

Sherlock wasn't very nervous as he counted, in fact, he could even breathe a sigh of relief.

He is the absolute descendant of Ladislaus, and what they are most afraid of is not afraid of the Spanish attitude, but afraid that the emperor will treat Austria as his own property, and now he clearly stands on the position of Spain and is embarrassed by Austria, but it is something that makes them feel at ease.

After the emperor announced that he would let his second son inherit Austria, the gang was always worried.

The Holy Roman Emperor and King of Spain had not traveled to his own empire since his accession to the throne, and the enthronement ceremonies took place in the Netherlands.

"Twenty-Four ....."

"Twenty-five ....."

"Twenty-six ....."

Recently, however, the situation changed, when the emperor offered to visit Vienna once, and assembled a powerful foreign fleet for this purpose.

"Twenty-six, really." The Emperor looked surprised, as if he really didn't know how many capital ships he had, "Oh, Your Highness Fugger, it seems that the monopoly of that Tobago Island can only be handed over to your family." ”

Although he knew that the emperor was showing off, Sherlock couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart.

He couldn't possibly know the name of every Spanish-controlled island, but Tobago knew by its name that it was a place where "Tobago" was abundant, which was a good thing to keep the caster focused on over time.

Ladislaus once commented: "Smoking is good for thinking, and there is indeed a basis for magic." ”

Although Sherlock couldn't understand the meaning of this complaint, it didn't prevent him from knowing the emperor's intentions.

He knew that his master had always wanted a piece of the West Indies as well, and that Spain had nothing to do with it.

Although Spain once regarded the New World as a forbidden territory, objectively, the Spanish population could not fully settle, and they could not prevent the French and English from exploring the New World and establishing colonies everywhere.

Austria did not ask for the main body of the New World, but only wanted a few small islands, which was negotiable.

After all, Austria is also a second-rate power in the European continent, and Spain's blood alliance is always better for Austria than for France and Britain to take advantage.

The best of the West Indies was the island of Tobago, and it was Ladislaus's constant goal, and the emperor promised him to the Fugger family, which was actually a small warning to Austria.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Of course, Fugger also looked grateful to Dade, as if it was not because his family gave the emperor a loan of one million that he got the tobacco monopoly on this island.

"Congratulations, congratulations." Sherlock also looked envious, jealous and hateful.

"Alright, alright." Seeing that Sherlock was quite cooperative, the emperor didn't embarrass him, "What did you come to me for?" ”

Sherlock said with a smile: "The Regent wants to reduce the scale of the renovation of the port of Trieste, we in Austria don't need so many docks." ”

"Huh?" The Emperor glanced at Sherlock, "Your master asked me for 30,000 thalers to renovate the port, where did you get the money?" ”

Sherlock hastily explained: "There is no misappropriation of this earmark, it is just that it is not enough. ”

30,000 thalers are barely enough for camouflage and fake docks.

Unlike most Austrians, Shylock was well aware that the Emperor's fleet was not to go to Vienna at all.

But Ladislaus was reluctant to do this, he really used to fix the dock facilities of the port of Trieste, and the 30,000 thalers could only barely build a few small berths.

"Besides, even if we work overtime now, it will not be possible to build a deep-water berth enough for the Armada to anchor in three months." Sherlock says the difficulties are too great.

"Hmph." The emperor was noncommittal, but he didn't continue to entangle, and after dealing with Ladislaus for so long, he had actually prepared in his heart for a long time, "Then the Ottoman spies are at least going to catch a few, right?" ”

"That's for sure, that's for sure." Sherlock nodded repeatedly, "Thanks to Emperor Qi Tian Hongfu, the regent's wise leadership, we have captured more than twenty Ottoman spies in recent months, and even a core mage who has been lurking for more than twenty years has died under the knife of Lord Duden!" ”

"Yes, Duden, it's that Drow Elf Ranger, he hasn't broken through the Protectorate." The emperor had heard of the name, "Is he also old?" ”

Sherlock nodded: "Yes, Lord Duden is nearly 100 years old, although the life span of the Drow Elf can be a little longer than that of us humans, and it is also about to be exhausted, but after all, he is only the core, but it is easy to do." One hundred thousand thalers, plus the corpses of the town and the protector, will be able to continue his life, a service open only to Austria and Spain. ”

In addition to the all-inclusive service of 250,000 yuan, as a good friend, you can also choose contract processing.

"Oh?"

The interest of the Emperor and Archmage Fugger came, this was a diplomatic occasion, the Emperor could be as he pleased, but Sherlock could not say anything nonsense.

They immediately realized what Sherlock was talking about.

Wu Xin stirred up trouble on the southern shore of the Mediterranean, and Sazakan developed a way to prolong the life of a powerful warrior, which is the biggest event in recent times.

"Cassano relied on Hajnajo's body to survive?" Archmage Fugger is very concerned about this issue, although he does not have the skills of Sazastan, he is also the best spellcaster of this era, "The key to the transformation method is the corpse of the town and the country?" ”

"The key, of course, is His Highness Sazastan's unparalleled skill and deep understanding of magic." Sherlock, of course, had to make the processing environment a little more important, "The recipes and the circles are extremely complex and cannot be learned by mortals. ”

Isn't it better for mortals to sound better than for lower beings?

That's what Sherlock thinks anyway.

"So is there any requirement for the corpse, is it a fresh corpse?" Fugger continued.

"The fresher, the better." Sherlock had a lot of leeway, "But old but not completely decayed corpses, you can also give it a try." ”

"How long can you live?" Fugger asked another key point.

"His Highness Sazastan believes that Cassano will be able to exist stably for more than fifty years." Sherlock insisted that it was not his verdict," said the Grand Duke of Tripoli. ”

Wu Xin is not talking nonsense, relying on divine power, Cassano has no big problem doing it for fifty years, but other believers who are not the Lord of Flames, then there is no expiration date.

Of course, there is no need to tell the truth.

The Emperor and Fugger glanced at each other, and they both understood that if this transformation method was true, it was of great value.

Archsteward Florentino is not here today, and the last time he went to the crater to mine for sulfur, the old protector was severely injured by a Styx Mempeian, although with the support of the team, he finally fought off the opponent with difficulty.

But now that Lao Huguo has been bedridden for months, no one can be sure whether he is recuperating from his injuries or illness.

There is no doubt that Florentino is on the verge of life, and even if he can survive it, it will be a candle in the wind.

"Can a national protector continue his life like this?" The Emperor himself asked, for the faithful old butler who had served the Habsburgs for generations, it was impossible not to help him, "Does the Grand Duke of Tripoli guarantee this?" ”

"There are still too few conversions and more data is needed." Shylock seemed to deny that Wu Xin was counting on the French a few more times, "but Cassano's transformation is an ironclad fact." ”

The Emperor was silent, and Bazin and his son had already sent the information, and they both believed that Cassano had indeed gained a long life, that his mother was well-informed, and that Juana had the same opinion.

It's just that Bazin's father and son are warriors, Juana's insight is very close to that of a mage, and Wu Xin is unlikely to fool her.

However, Sherlock's words below are the point.

"However, if it is the transformation of the Protector Warrior, then the remains of the legendary existence are required. In addition to the corpse of a higher realm, there are many other auxiliary material requirements, and the auxiliary materials that can be used for Cassano transformation may not be usable, they must be upgraded, and His Royal Highness Sazastan also has to accumulate experience, and he is not very sure. ”

"So the main material is provided, and the other expenses of 100,000 thalers are still needed."

"However, as long as the main materials can be provided, His Highness Sazastan guarantees that for close allies like Spain and Austria, even the transformation of the protector warriors will be guaranteed to succeed twice."

The Emperor and Fugger looked at each other again, the weight of these words was not ordinary, but it was not just a matter of money.

"Lord Sherlock."

"Your Majesty the Emperor, Your Highness Fugger."

The Emperor then nodded and motioned for the other party to retreat.

"The remains of the legendary existence, it will take two more times to guarantee success." Archmage Fugger didn't mention the money, and the cost of materials at the level of protecting the country was no longer the key, "The remains of those ancient legends have long since decayed, and the remains of the relatively well-preserved legends are still roughly preserved, then there is only one place." ”

On this plane, legends are not so common.

For nearly a thousand years, only the head of the Church of Rome has been a stable legend, so naturally only the Church of Rome has a large number of legendary remains.

"This Grand Duke of Tripoli is forcing me to go to Daoshan Mountain." The emperor also showed a rare toothache expression, "When we entered Rome, why didn't we expect to move back the bodies of several Spanish true popes." (To be continued.) )
