Chapter 22 I Lack of supplies
After lunch, all the servants attended a military course together, including flags and queues.
Compared to the subordinates, the knight apprenticeship received a much higher quality education, and there were no knight apprentices to substitute for the teacher, and the teachers of all the courses were real knights who had passed the professional skill test.
Although Wu Xin was a spellcaster, the Knights Hospitaller also required them to take military courses.
After the afternoon class, Wu Xin went to the supply office of the Knights, hoping to get some magic materials needed for the Panic Technique.
However, the knight trainee who works in the warehouse told him that due to the recent shipping crisis, there is not enough spellcasting materials, and only the casting materials of the plastic energy and necromancy are relatively sufficient.
Most of the other types of spell-casting materials, especially those of illusions, spells, and confusion control systems, have been collected by the two knight-level mages, and the inventory has been reduced below the warning line, even the high-ranking knights need the commander's warrant to receive them, and the trainees will not be able to receive them until the next specialized supply ship arrives.
And in the current situation, no one knows when the next spellcasting material will arrive.
Wu Xin worked hard for a long time, but the knight trainee was a businessman, Wu Xin knew that he needed to buy the other party at this time, but the background of the other party's French group made Wu Xin need more time to find the means and opportunities for corrosion.
In the end, he still didn't get the spell materials he needed, so he had to go to dinner empty-handed.
Wu Xin didn't see Delia at dinner, but saw Seymour after training, and Seymour was very enthusiastic to invite him back to dinner.
Wu Xin naturally would not refuse this invitation to strengthen the relationship.
Although the food ordered is not as good as that of the wild goose, there is still meat and vegetables, which is already a good meal on the island of Malta now.
After eating a little, Seymour asked about Delia's situation: "Isn't Miss Delia Fischer with you?" ”
"Well, I guess I'm going to church." Wu Xin said helplessly that after leaving the dangerous world of reincarnation, it would be difficult for his relationship with Delia to advance.
Seymour was clearly not a rigid person: "I can see that she is very different from everyone else, but you also know that it is normal for her to be unmindful lately, and her loyalty to Her Majesty the Queen is really amazing! ”
He paused and added, "It may be pedantic, but it is indeed respectable." ”
"That's true." Wu Xin saw that Delia was deeply invested in this issue during the meal, and he cooperated appropriately to let Seymour continue.
"However, it cannot be said that His Majesty the King wants to depose the queen, after all, Her Majesty the Queen is over forty years old, and there is basically no hope of giving birth to a boy, and it is not good to let Princess Mary succeed to the throne, and it is too easy for female heirs to attract careerists and civil wars." Some of these things should be Seymour's "judgment", and they have not yet fully become "history".
Wu Xin basically understood Delia's background now, she told herself that the uncle was the one who raised her, and this uncle is now opposing the king's abolition, and this position makes him a thorn in the king's side.
Even Seymour's position was slightly revealed.
"But the emperor has publicly stated that if the true pope dares to dissolve the marriage between His Majesty Henry and his aunt, he will take 30,000 elite warships and 100 ships to visit Rome first, and then visit London, these damned Spaniards, they are really arrogant and arrogant." Seymour denounced the Emperor's proclamation.
This is also the reason why Delia can be a second-class knight trainee in the first place, no matter how rebellious she is, her uncle is a hero of the Roman Church, and the Knights Hospitaller have a close relationship with the Roman Church, of course, they will not be stingy with the position of a knight trainee.
"I think the emperor is saying that the Roman Church is just that, and once England allies with France, his money bag Netherlands will immediately be unable to hold on." Wu Xin was keenly aware that this issue must be a very sensitive issue within the English group, and he couldn't express his position, at least not easily, so he changed the topic in time. "By the way, tell me about the Ottomans fighting against Spain and Austria, and the Ottomans fighting with our Knights Hospitaller have something to do with it."
Through the conversation between Sherlock and Cassano that day, Wu Xin was convinced that although he was a member of the English group and Cassano was a member of the Italian group, it was the regent of Austria who had been behind them.
"I don't think the emperor will be so arrogant that he will be the enemy of the whole world." Seymour nodded, he actually didn't believe that the emperor would go to war with England for his aunt, "Delia is a little too persistent in the matter of faith, although the attitude towards the Roman Church is very unreliable, but if the two monarchs of the Warlock royal family can get some results, they will definitely be able to share a little pressure on the Knights Hospitaller." Spain was strong enough after all, Austria lost Buda, but only Buda, the Ottomans' tentative attack on Vienna was repelled by the regents, and the Yellow Dragon Knight Frentsberg also held Transylvania. The Ottomans currently only have a salient in Central Hungary, which, of course, does pose a great threat to Vienna. If Austria really falls, more resources of the Ottoman Empire will be strengthened to the Mediterranean, and we will not have a good life, and it would be best if the emperor could put the main force in the Mediterranean. ”
Although Seymour fully supported the interests of the Kingdom of England, and he himself was on the island of Malta, he certainly hoped that Spain would come against the Ottoman Empire, which was the best position for him.
Wu Xin nodded, this kind of overall situation can't be intervened by himself for the time being, and he can't even divide the family property at present, so he focused his attention on the current situation: "The current day is bad enough, I just went to the warehouse to get a little spellcasting materials, but I can't get a large number of spellcasting materials that someone has just received, do you know what other ways to get spellcasting materials?" ”
"Even if the materials are insufficient, it won't even be able to supply the casting materials for first-level spells." Seymour didn't continue the conversation he had just made, after all, survival on the island came first. "Cutting us off, it seems that Belcourt is not convinced. I do know where to get supplies, but they don't come cheap. ”
This is similar to Wu Xin's guess, if it was really miserable, the Ottomans would have killed the island a long time ago.
Wu Xin laughed, he probably guessed Seymour's channel: "Hehe, don't worry, the money that Belcott gave me is only a little bit, is it to buy it in the town?" ”
"Well, I know someone in the town who specializes in this business." Seymour has been on the island for so long, so naturally he knows a little way.
"Then let's go tomorrow, I'll go to teach the servants in the afternoon." Wu Xin got his salary and naturally had to work.
Seymour was reluctant to procrastinate: "It's okay, it's okay, I haven't seen the servants for a long time, just go to contact the feelings, we'll go again after you finish the class, you should have time to come back, even if the suspension bridge is pulled up at night, we just spend the night in the town, as long as we rush back to train, it doesn't matter, you are a spellcaster, more free." ”
Wu Xin naturally would not object, and he left the castle with Seymour.
"By the way, how did you deal with those two Irishmen this time?" Seymour also apparently has a conflict with Giggs and Keane.
After Wu Xin told him about the punishment that Giggs had received, Seymour smiled with satisfaction: "These two guys have been doing evil in the English group for too long, and they have finally been cured by you." ”
