Chapter 295: Delia's Strategy and Paul Xu
When he left Wu Xin's mansion, Zhang Daniu's mood was very bad, so Wu Xin specially asked Joel, who had fought with him in the last mission, to see him off.
Zhang Daniu has a very bad impression of all the brocade guards, but he has almost no dissatisfaction with Joel.
Although this old fisherman also believed in Ciric, he was the most shallow believer, and he had no aversion to the Yanhuang Dragon.
"Zhang Xian, you go slowly."
"Qiao Baihu, you can stay, you don't have to be so polite."
"I'll send you again, send you."
Joel kept sending Zhang Daniu far outside the gate, and he didn't stop until Zhang Daniu resolutely stopped him from sending it.
And it wasn't until Zhang Daniu completely disappeared from view that he turned around and returned to Wu Xin's mansion.
The mass just now had been hastily concluded under the pressure of Zhang Daniu.
Yara gloated and whispered something to Kessler, the two of them actually wanted to promote the belief of the Lord of Flames, but Wu Xin resolutely did not allow it, and after they tried to no avail, they were temporarily patient.
They were all very dissatisfied with Delia's promotion of the Shirek faith, but Wu Xin's attitude had been very vacillating.
Although Wu Xin repeatedly emphasized that he did not let Deliya do this because of his personal feelings, it was not very convincing.
Now because of the pressure of the natives in this sub-plane, Wu Xin has to strengthen his attitude, and they are all very happy to see it.
Kessler saw Joel back and told Yara to do something else.
He asked Joel about his trip to Beijing, and after learning that the boundary of this plane was in Shanhaiguan, he carefully asked Joel about his memories and the situation in Shanhaiguan.
Joel said he couldn't remember, but he remembered that Shanhaiguan seemed to be majestic, not a checkpoint, by Europa's standards. Tighter a superfortress.
In the end, Kessler summed up regretfully, "It's really a C3-level plane." ”
"What level of plane is our main plane?" Joel asked curiously.
"A2, huh?" Kessler was not very sure about this, "Anyway, there are legendary planes, and the planes that can often send out conquest teams are A-rank." ”
"Oh!" Joel felt a sense of pride, "If His Majesty the True Chosen Pope were to come to this plane, he would be able to destroy those damn elves with ease." ”
"Not necessarily." Kessler's first seat was always trying to dig into the corners of the Church of Rome, "The true pope is powerful." But one person's strength cannot determine the fate of a plane, and no matter how strong he is, he can't single-handedly deal with tens of thousands of troops, even if most of these enemies are only at the level of a first-class warrior. ”
"The loss of the main plane on a legendary expedition is almost equal to a C3 plane, even if it can be conquered, it is just to preserve the capital." Galile's information on this has been reported to Wu Xin, "And the main plane we set out from is not A2, but A3, and the lower limit is A3, otherwise how can there be only one legend in the entire plane?" If the next time galaxies collide. If you wear out a little more, you will lose your first-class status. ”
Kessler was satisfied with Galilei's previous words, but later he said "the main plane of departure" instead of "the main plane to which he belongs", which is annoying.
Joel didn't hear the difference, but Kessler noticed it.
However, Kessler didn't fight back immediately, and he was distracted by other questions: "What?!" Is the situation already so critical? Why didn't His Royal Highness the Regent say that? ”
"Hmph." Galilei's intelligence did not come from Ladislaus. "His Royal Highness the Regent is not even Zhenguo, of course he will not clearly feel the pressure of the plane downgrading. But Her Majesty Queen Juana's strength is clearly felt. ”
Kessler didn't ask again, what Joel heard was enough to make him feel close, and more would have shaken morale.
In fact, they did control the scale very well, and Joel never understood what would happen if their main plane lost its A-class rating.
"You haven't reported the delivery to the deputy commander, have you? Go ahead, my lord, since you went. I've asked it several times. "Kessler has become accustomed to calling Wu Xin his deputy commander.
"Oh, I'll go!" Only then did Joel think of reporting to Wu Xin, "Although I didn't meet those big people in Beijing, I still got some letters and gifts." ”
Watching him enter the inner chamber, Galile said to Kessler, "He is also a believer in the dark sun." Aren't you worried that he'll support Miss Delia? ”
"It doesn't matter who supports Delia." Kessler said with some confidence, "The faith in this plane can only be owned by us." ”
Galileth shrugged his shoulders, he was a follower of Barbarossa, the Knight of Ambition, and it was difficult for any captured sub-plane to retain the original belief system, and he felt that Kessler's first seat said it well: "Then what did you let him do?" ”
"Let him find out." Kessler said with a blank face, "Maybe Deputy Commander Wu can't be ruthless to Delia, but when he sees this old fisherman, he will make up his mind." ”
Joel didn't realize that he was being used as a weapon against Delia by Kessler's first seat.
Walking all the way through the courtyard, there were screams everywhere.
Villefort has resumed the torture of those criminals.
Under the cover of those screams, Wu Xin and Delia were arguing fiercely in the secret room.
"Do you have to show your allegiance to your God at this time?" Wu Xin is actually not the first time he has said this.
"I will always be so faithful to God that I will never hide it at any time!" It was not the first time that Delia had replied, "I have made a lot of patience for your cause, but this opportunity is too good, the local ancestor worship forces are very stubborn forces, this kind of large-scale death incident is a great opportunity to proselytize, I can't give up." ”
"We're just eliminating a hostile core-level reincarnation now, and we're still too early to capture this sub-plane, and if you do this now, it will cause the local natives to distrust us and weaken our already limited strength." Wu Xin felt that Deliya might be thinking too optimistic about the situation. "And the matter of killing Wang Huazhen is very dangerous, don't think that Xiong Tingbi supports our statement, we really have peace of mind."
"You underestimate me too much, I am a priest of God, how can I not understand that we have actually become a thorn in the side of the civil service." However, Delia's answer surprised Wu Xin quite a bit, "This kind of intelligence agency. Originally, he was the eyes and ears of the emperor, and his strength was completely proportional to the monarchy's power, and the current Emperor of the Apocalypse had just succeeded to the throne, and it was when the monarchy was weak and the cabinet was strong, and we could be wiped out by the civil system at any time. ”
Joel's eyes widened, they had worked so hard to kill the ogre and eradicate his backers, but there was still such a risk?
"You know it all. Why do you want to do such a hasty thing? The more she understood, the angrier Wu Xin became, and sometimes, pig-like teammates were not because they were stupid, but because of selfishness, "We must not offend the civil official group at the same time, and then offend the sacrificial group." ”
Of course, Deliya is selfish, but Wu Xin is also selfish. They all want to promote their faith in this subplane.
In terms of the production of other substances in this plane, Delia did not plan to compete with Wu Xin. She admits that the power possessed by Wu Xin certainly deserves the material output of this sub-plane.
But on the issue of faith, there is a powerful Roman Church behind her, and she can still ask for a piece.
It's just that Wu Xin doesn't plan to give it at all, his plan is to use nutrients, spell casting materials, and support Delia, and help her obtain her personal future in the main plane.
However, Delia clearly did not appreciate it.
Delia absolutely supports Wu Xin and respects his leadership position. But while supporting Wu Xin, she also asked Wu Xin for his respect.
She could have barely endured Wu Xin's delay, but because of the sudden appearance of a large number of remains of the dead killed by Sun Degong, the hearts of the entire Guangning City were fluctuating.
Everyone was shaken by the Yellow Dragon, and Delia couldn't bear it anymore. A large number of crosses were built overnight with manpower, and then the dojo began.
Delia was much more powerful and devout than most of the dragon's sacrifices, and the Mass she presided over was far more exciting than the sacrifices seen by the inhabitants of the city.
In just a few days, a large number of believers have been accumulated, which has caused a backlash from the Yanhuang Dragon Church.
"In this Empire of Light, civil officials and priests are the same thing." Wu Xin knew that Deliya had done a lot of homework, but the female priest had actually done far more homework than Wu Xin expected, "I have already been in contact with all the merchants with maritime backgrounds, and there are already many missionary teams of His Majesty God in the southern region of this Empire of Light!" On the southeast coast, there are already many believers of His Majesty God. ”
"These believers are not in this plane at all." Although Wu Xin had not specifically investigated these circumstances, he knew that the Jesuits and the Dominican Church should have been widely active in Jiangnan.
"In fact, Beijing and Shanhaiguan are not included in this sub-plane." Joel interjected appropriately, "I've been there, and I can't get into Shanhaiguan, but things are going well." ”
"Yes, although you can't enter Shanhaiguan, you can still interact with Beijing and Shanhaiguan, but you can't carry out too detailed activities." Delia nodded to Joel in satisfaction, she didn't even realize that the old fisherman was such a devout parishioner.
In fact, she thought too much, Joel was by no means a fanatic, he just felt that he should tell the truth.
"But............" Wu Xin was about to say something, but Delia interrupted him.
"I have already investigated, and through the unremitting efforts of the missionaries, Paul Xu, a wise and well-known figure, has become our parishioners, he is a powerful candidate for the cabinet minister of the Bright Empire, he is a strong candidate to protect the missionaries when the church is persecuted, he will not change his devout parishioners, he will definitely support our activities here, with his support, our position will be secured! Delia's words surprised Wu Xin very much, this is indeed a very good upper route, but what the hell is Paul Xu, are you kidding me?
Delia continued to say to herself: "The calendar calculation of the sacrifice of the Empire of Light has been completely inaccurate, and the calculation of a solar eclipse a few years ago is even more ridiculous, greatly losing the trust of the emperor, and Paul Xu, with the help of the missionary, is much more accurate. ”
This is a serious matter.
Because it is impossible to predict the solar eclipse, it is natural to not be able to calculate the agricultural time, so it is very sensitive to sow seeds one day earlier and harvest wheat one day later.
"And this Paul Xu is very good at speculating on solar eclipses?" Wu Xin speculated, "Is this Paul Xu from Shanghai and also a mathematician?" ”
Wu Xin probably guessed the answer, if it was that one, he would indeed resolutely support Delia.
"The one who is good at speculating on solar eclipses must be a mathematician, he is from Songjiang Prefecture." As soon as Di Liya said this, Wu Xin was sure that this was Xu Guangqi.
In addition to agricultural production, estimating solar eclipses involves the issue of ********.
The ability to calculate solar eclipses is one of the great strengths of the Sheric mission, and the loss of the sun's light is something that almost all humans fear, and it is also one of the means that almost all churches and priests make full use of to intimidate the people.
Being able to accurately calculate solar eclipses naturally gives the Church of Shirek great honor, dismissing their opponents as superstitious.
"But he may not be able to enter the cabinet." Wu Xin's words were very contrary to his will, because Xu Guangqi was very famous in the Shanghai area, and he was often called Xu Ge Lao.
"And what better can you do?" Delia stared at Wu Xin closely, if he fooled himself in front of him again, how should he deal with him?
"Of course I've thought about a solution." Wu Xin pointed at Joel, "I asked him to send a letter to Wei Zhongxian, but not only to gain a little favor, I gave him a suggestion, a proposal that would make the civilian clique have no heart to deal with us." ”
"What kind of valuable gift did you give him?" Joel thought for a long time, "That gray stone, is it really a treasure?" ”
"The treasures from this plane must be recognized by someone." In order to get in touch with Wei Zhongxian, Wu Xin's investment will never be soft.
"Hmph, eunuch, barbarian system!" Delia didn't ask, "What is the proposal?" at all, but instead said something that made Wu Xin frown, "You also gave him your life-sustaining spar?" ”
There weren't many things that Wei Zhongxian cared about.
"Civilized people occasionally do barbaric things, and you can't use one thing to define whether a nation as a whole is barbaric or not." Wu Xin was very complacent after washing the ground, and then he stretched out his hand towards Joel, "Give me Grandpa Wei's reply." ”
……………
Wu Sangui walked into the camp tent, bowed to Zu Dashou and Wu Xiangcao, then picked up the big kettle and began to pour it violently.
After drinking about a liter of water, he breathed a sigh of relief and said to his father and uncle: "Ye Shoufu said, it's okay if Sun Degong dies, but Wang Huazhen must be rehabilitated, Ti Qi is so bold and reckless, he actually dared to frame the second-grade master, and even killed him directly, and didn't even give him a chance to defend himself, the righteous man and gentleman in the world, is it tolerable or unbearable?" ”
Zu Dashou and Wu Xiang glanced at each other and laughed. (To be continued.) )
PS: There is no update tomorrow
I can't recover after working overtime, and I need to adjust my sleep tomorrow
And I'm in the final stages of the book, so I'm going to think about where to end it
Thank you
