Chapter 240: Fragment Absorption
In the vast universe, stars are the brightest and most huge, and they are surrounded by planets.
Between several planets, there is material that for various reasons does not form a planet, which also orbits the star.
When Delia and Villefort killed Napoleon and Nelson, respectively, the fragments of the plane they were in began to change.
In the underworld, there is a huge force.
The source of their power is the stars that Wu Xin and Delia are anchored to, and along with Wu Xin's fate, the power of the stars they belong to is projected to the stars where they are.
Wu Xin, the small fragment where they were now, gradually approached the source of the power as this force began to break away from its original trajectory.
This fragment was too small for Wu Xin and the planet they lived, and as they got closer and closer to that planet, a rift formed inside the fragment of this plane.
In the royal palaces of Madrid and Paris, banquets are held in different styles, but both are extremely lavish.
The monarch and the nobles exchanged ears, but a few of the warriors were visibly absent-minded, and of course most of the most powerful warriors did not like such a banquet, and the food here would not meet their needs, no matter how luxurious it was.
And it also wastes their practice time, no matter how good their talent is, if they are not motivated, they will not be able to become a "protector of the country".
Everyone at the banquet felt that their "Protector" was very irritable today, except for the "Zhenguo" mage.
Bravan-Fugger was Spain's chief court mage and commander of the Arcane Legion, and he was more aware of the situation than the "protector" who only instinctively felt something.
He walked over to a terrace and, after a little hesitation, applied a "true knowledge spell" to himself.
This action immediately startled the emperor who was already watching him. He no longer said useless words to the queen, but walked over.
"I was just telling the Empress that she shouldn't always ignore the budget set by the Treasurer, and that the banquet should not exceed a thousand thalers, but you spent as much as the whole banquet in just half a minute." He said. While making a gesture to Archbishop Toledo, "You use true knowledge is much more expensive than the archbishop, why don't you let him use it?" I don't want you to be united, or at least not to waste it. β
There were only three people on the terrace, so the emperor said it bluntly.
After his words, Archbishop Toledo had already applied a "True Knowledge" to the Emperor, which was a fifth-level divine skill for the priest and a sixth-level magic for the mage.
Powerful monarchs can win red robes for their close priests. Spain is of course a powerhouse, and the Archbishop of Toledo is the chief priest of the Dark Sun in Spain, so of course he is also a cardinal.
However, unlike most cardinals, because the Archbishop of Toledo has always been an important figure in Spanish politics, they do not go to Rome, nor do they try to become the real pope, they are completely political players in Spain.
"I was negligent, Your Majesty." Bravan-Fugger apologized to the emperor in all seriousness. Of course, in fact he and the Emperor knew that the Archbishop of Toledo might give him a "true knowledge". But as the majority shareholder of the Fugger Textile Association, it was impossible for him to easily ask for the help of a Spanish cardinal, not at all.
"I've only prepared one True Perception Technique today." The Archbishop of Toledo also made his attitude unimpassing, and Fugger was unwilling to ask him, nor was he willing to help Fugger. "Even if His Highness Fugger asks for my help, I am powerless."
And he also showed his loyalty by the way. The other two people were looking up at the sky, and he couldn't see anything without the "True Knowledge", of course, his strength was not enough, worse than the Emperor and Fugger, and he didn't know what they were looking at at at all.
So the Archbishop of Toledo is actually curious. But of course he couldn't ask.
He could only feel that the Emperor and Fugger were actually just pretending to be calm, and their bodies were tense as if they were preparing for war?
The Archbishop of Toledo swept behind and found that the two Archsmen of Protector Florentino and Baron Laporta had indeed reached the terrace.
"Let's go up there, and don't upset the queen and the other guests." Florentino is not a spellcaster either, but he is strong enough.
Bravan-Fugger waved his hand: "It's not necessary, it's none of our business, and there are still a few hours before the pieces fall to the ground, don't be nervous." β
The emperor has fully understood the situation, and his strength is actually the strongest: "Well, the trajectory is clear, please continue the banquet, Grand Steward." β
The Emperor and the others returned to the banquet together, and it was not until the banquet that the Emperor summoned Baron Laporta and Bravan-Fugue again, and Florentino made other arrangements.
"Which country captured the new satellite?!" Baron Laporta was inferior to Grand Governor Florentino, but he participated in reincarnation battles with the emperor, so he was more informed.
But without the help of magic, there is no ability to observe the trajectory.
"It's not that new satellites are captured, it's that there's a piece of debris that has been pulled out of the shattered belt and is about to fall." Generally speaking, the people who briefed the situation in the conference room were Archmage Bulavan-Fugger, but today's situation is different, the intelligence does not need to be integrated, just observe, whoever is stronger can observe more, so the emperor said it himself. "Based on my discussions with His Highness Fugger, we have come to some results."
"It's debris absorption, not satellite capture, and it's not a big deal." Baron Laporta understood a little, "It's a good thing it's not a new satellite, that would greatly damage the balance." β
"Not a big deal? Baron Laporta, I must be so old as to forget when you ever absorbed the fragments. "Some teams are united, others are just barely putting up with each other, and Bravan-Fugger is just barely putting up with Laporta.
All "Zhenguo" and "Protector" can be honored as His Highness, which is a heavier honorific title than the Baron, but Bravan-Fugger just doesn't need it.
However, compared to the question of honorifics, the content of Fugger's words is more lethal.
"If I could go to a certain fragment now, wouldn't I be able to deal with the people on that fragment who could determine the course of history? Wasn't it because your family gave you a bunch of strange things and scrolls that you were able to absorb a fragment in the first place, which is also a skill worth showing off? Baron Laporta's counterattack did not bother Fugger at all.
In fact. Once the strength is increased, the chance of going to the low-level plane fragments is very low.
The great thing about "absorbing debris" is that the executors are often limited in strength, or very few in number, and may be a senior team member with a few new people.
And he wasn't very accurate, he might have been able to deal with the Napoleon that Wu Xin had just eliminated. But to kill Nelson, it is not by strength alone.
"Ahaha, we Fugger have a lot of scrolls and a lot of treasures, which God gave us to serve the emperor, so that we can capture more satellites and absorb more fragments for the emperor." The mage from a wealthy family laughed, knowing that it would not be easy to absorb even a fragment, "Then next time we go to the D-class plane fragment." You're going to have to put it to good use. β
"Then we have to be able to go to debris, we rarely even encounter C-class small satellites now." Baron Laporta had little confidence, "Endless defensive missions, two-thirds of the energy is spent on defending our satellites, and there is no energy to do even the pioneering mission, it is good to be able to maintain balance." β
This is also something that annoys the emperor, Spain has a lot of possessions, so naturally it has to defend a lot of times......
"What do you say again and again, what is good about balance? The emperor should rule the world. Fugel looked at Laporta. Pi said with a smile, "Isn't this your dream?" β
"Of course that's my dream." This Baron Laporta did not dare to argue.
Although Bravan-Fugger is technically German and Baron Laporta is Spanish, the latter's position is even better, he is Catalan. The centripetal force of this region towards Spain is very limited and has always been limited.
The Emperor looked at Baron Laporta, and for the hundredth time was worried, the Grand Governor of Florentino was already old, after the death of the old Governor. How can this Baron Laporta be balanced?
"Stop questioning Baron Laporta's loyalty!" The Emperor rebuked Bravan-Fugger loudly, "The Aragonese and the Castilian are my faithful subjects. β
Spain was formerly known as the Kingdom of Castile and the Kingdom of Aragon, which merged to form the Kingdom of Spain due to the threat of the Nestral and Crescent Cult and France, plus a good opportunity.
But no peace can be completely equal, and Castile is relatively at the advantage.
Catalonia's separatist tendency, that is, Aragonese's separatist tendency,
But the emperor could not simply rely on the power of the Castilian side to suppress Baron Laporta, which would make things get out of hand.
"Yes, Your Majesty, I don't doubt Baron Laporta's loyalty, I don't mean anything at all." Bravan-Fugger replied without sincerity.
They had to rely on the Fugger family, a family from Augsburg in Germany, who started out in the textile industry and then entered the banking industry, and are now the largest chaebols in Europa.
Rely on the family's financial resources and this powerful mage to keep the situation going.
And Bravan-Fugger was an excellent mage, and an extremely wealthy mage, he did not need the emperor to bear the cost of his spells, in fact, he subsidized the emperor by various means.
Of course, this is not to say that this family does not have its own demands, but the two sides have been working together happily for a long time.
Like this time.
Although the emperor was stronger and more observant, he was a warlock, and Bravan-Fugger contributed much more to the conclusion, and their conversation was far from a "discussion".
However, at this time, the credit goes to the leadership, and Baron Laporta's assessment of the emperor's strength has improved, which will help the emperor's career.
So the emperor said to himself: "The landing point can already be determined, most of the energy belongs to the Knights Hospitaller, and a small part belongs to the .........."
"Knights Hospitaller?! Eli Adam can do this single-handedly. Baron Laporta thought for a moment and added, "Even if you add Cassano, can't you?" β
"Have you forgotten that the forces of the Lord of Flames can be said to be completely gathered in the Knights Hospitaller at the moment?" Bulavan-Fugger was at the same time a member of the most powerful empire and the richest family, and he had the best sources of intelligence, "We used to think that this power had withdrawn from our lives, and it seems that things have changed again. β
After he finished speaking, he suggested to the Emperor: "Your Majesty, I think that since they are able to absorb a single Plane Fragment, then our original plan should be revised, and we cannot deal with them with the strength of the Gonzalez family alone. β
The Emperor tapped his fingers and pondered.
But after the long exam, the emperor still shook his head: "I am determined to win the satellite that can give us the favor of the Bright Empire." β
Although there are defensive tasks everywhere, and although all kinds of exhaustion, the emperor still refuses to let go of this piece of fat that reaches his mouth: "I have given the Tears of the Purple Dragon to Old Gonzalez, Your Highness Fugger, I need you to give Old Gonzalez a few more scrolls, and then send a dolphin urgency, so that CortΓ©s can give his helmet to Little Gonzalez." β
"Your Majesty, think twice, it is a matter of course for our Fugger family to serve the Warlock Royal Family, but His Royal Highness Cortez has worked hard, and this is probably not the way to honor the heroes." Only Bravan-Fugger dared to say this to the emperor, after all, he promised to come down with one mouth, and thousands of thalers would "repay".
Laporta was silent, unhappy with the Emperor's assertiveness, but he did not see the need for him to mix.
"If Gonzalez Jr. dies in the mission, I'll compensate Cortez." The Emperor knew that CortΓ©s had a lot to offer, but his decision was not something that could be easily changed. "But his helmet must be given to Gonzalez Jr."
Bravan-Fugger wanted to persuade again, but a huge, but only "town-state" and "protector-country" could feel the impact.
London.
A naval commander in his prime was directing the fleet out of port when he suddenly had difficulty breathing and fell off the bridge in full view of everyone.
Paris.
There was also a banquet in the court, where an "elite" warrior suddenly spat blood and fell to the ground, and several priests tried to save him.
This young man's background is not too good, but the chief court mage of France, Lao Tan Shure values him very much, and naturally there will be people who want to please him.
However, Old Tan Shur waved his withered and gray hand: "Don't waste the magic materials, this is not a force we can resist." β
The third change occurred in a brothel in a small city in Nubia on the upper Nile.
** And the ladies, to their astonishment, a young man who had lived here for several years of drunken dreams, suddenly dressed up and leaving with a firm pace they had never seen before.
He had once been an exiled Mamluk nobleman with enough money for his life's indulgence, and now he was Muhammad Ali, and although he had no very clear memory, he found that he could not remember the centuries of history, even though he had studied the history of Egypt repeatedly in the past, but now he could not use it.
And the money for the recapture of Egypt is insignificant.
Fortunately, he still has connections, and although most of the exiles are disappointed in him, his ancestors have personally cut off the cowardly head of the Mongol generalissimo in the battle of Ain Zarut.
As long as he can pull himself together, he is still the natural leader of the Mamluks of Egypt, and that is enough.
Of course, the biggest change occurred in the port of Tripoli, and Wu Xin has become the natural leader of the team through the nutrients he provides.
A drastic change took place in the port of Tripoli, the marina was expanded, the citadel was raised, and even some inhabitants were born out of thin air.
But most of the city's citizens are unaware of all these changes, as if the newcomers were their neighbors in the first place.
And the newcomers were not sick at all, as if they were immigrants who had come by boat. (To be continued.) )
