Chapter 160: Austrian First Team
In the Imperial Palace in Vienna, the regent Ladislaus reads a letter from Saxony, the contents of which are important, but there is no urgency.
But as he looked at it, he suddenly sweated profusely and sighed heavily.
Artemis Jones, the head of the Austrian Secrecy Bureau, who was standing on the side, was also distracted for a moment, but he quickly walked up to his monarch and asked softly, "Your Highness?" ”
"It's okay, it's okay." Lord Regent was in a bad mood, and it was no wonder that he had just been almost named by a legendary clifftop shooter, and he was not dead, but a warlock next to him was not so lucky. "This damn marksman, damn Wilhelm Dyer, damn Swiss anti-thief, he killed my grandfather's grandfather's grandfather's grandfather, or my grandfather's grandfather's father?!"
"Although this was two hundred years ago, if you ask, I can arrest all the people in Switzerland with the surname Dyer and torture them all!" Director Jones has a knack for how to curry favor with the monarch.
However, Ladislaus looked at him in amazement: "We only control half of Switzerland, and then go to the mountains of Qiongshan to hunt down the descendants of ancient heroes?" Hahaha! ”
"Hahaha!" Jones hurriedly pretended he was joking.
"Hahaha!" Ladislaus pretended not to know that the other party was not joking, as if he did not know that his head of secrecy was a cruel and ruthless person.
"Thanks to Odd Kessler this time, I won't be able to see him next time, hey, without this elite peak priest, it's really too dangerous, in fact, even if the Vulcan is not good, can he come back to serve His Majesty the Knight of Ambition." Artemis Jones was actually very unhappy with Wu Xin letting go of the cornerstone of the team. "We have to add a senior priest as soon as possible, at least an elite level, without which we can't change any history at all."
For a long time in the past, Odd Kessler was not even a stalwort. It was entirely under the protection of Ladislaus that he insisted on the reincarnation mission, and in several missions, the Austrian team adopted an extremely conservative strategy for him.
Seeing that his strength had recovered, not only did he not stay. Ladislaus instead gave him an expensive transfer prop and let him go to another team, and Jones's dissatisfaction was quite normal.
"Now is not the founding stage, the price of forcibly pulling in an elite-level priest is too great, and we can only wait for the priests of the lower echelon to grow slowly." Ladislaus vetoed the other side's suggestion. Odd Kessler's attitude is very resolute, and it is not good to force him to stay, but as a leader, he certainly has to bear unfair grievances. "Anyway, we don't have a chance to capture satellites for the time being, so we can defend the existing territory and strengthen it slowly."
In the mission that just ended, Director Jones made a great contribution, so Ladislaus thought for a while, and then continued to explain: "Of course, I know very well that our priests are extremely scarce, but our lord's divine power can only maintain a priest who barely reaches the elite level. And Kessler's talent for the first seat is far more than that, it is a waste for him to serve His Majesty the Knight of Ambition, even if he is the chief priest, it will not have annihilated his talent, otherwise he would not have been turned to serve His Majesty the Lord of Flames in the first place. ”
Calshus had been battered so badly that it would have been polite to call him Vulcan like Director Jones, but Ladislaus insisted on using a full honorific.
Odd Kessler was the priest of Barbarossa, the Knight of Vision, before he became the "First of the Heat", and in order for him to make the most of his talents, he was transferred to the church of the Lord of Flames.
The Director of Secrecy said nothing more. After all, he also understood that Odd Kessler's stay in Vienna would be self-destructive.
"The attitude of those Spaniards this time is really arrogant, it seems that the satellite that everyone has been speculating about recently is that they are approaching." There was a celestial body that had been pulled close enough, something that all the powerhouses of this plane could feel. "But it's weird. Judging from the rules of the movement, there should be an ally involved with Spain, if it weren't for us, who else could it be? Republic of Liguria? ”
"It should be Marshal Doria, and Spain has no other allies except us and my good uncle. But I don't know if it can be captured, but there must be one last mission. Ladislaus's attitude was ambiguous.
He was cousin with the emperor of Madrid and the nephew of the Ligurian dictator.
However, although they were relatives and allies, the relationship between Austria, Spain, and Liguria was not completely harmonious.
"I'm not going to leave you for dinner today, I need to go to bed right away, let's have lunch together tomorrow." Ladislaus's eviction order was a courtesy, and there was a presumptuous compensation. "Her Majesty Mary will also be with you, she has arranged for you to have a noble lady for you to meet, it is said that a wealthy marquiss from Bratislava, worth more than two hundred thousand thalers, and still in childbearing age, you should clean up and don't embarrass Her Majesty."
Her Majesty Marie-Jagrony, whose name before her marriage was Marie Habsburg, was the daughter of the deceased old Emperor, the sister of the present Emperor and the cousin of Ladislaus.
Also known as Your Majesty because she was married to the King of Hungary, she returned to live in Vienna, the home of the Habsburgs, after Suleiman's first invasion of Hungary and the killing of her husband.
Seeing Ladislaus driving away, Artemis Jones felt that the opportunity was rare, and finally gritted his teeth and asked his master: "That, Your Highness, since Spain is approaching that plane, Her Majesty Queen Juana must want to hear such good news, do you think you should go and congratulate Queen Juana?" By the way, can the town-level nutrients produced in the running field give us a little more, so that His Highness Frenzberg, who is fighting hard in Alba Iulia, can also have a little better, after all, next year will be the meeting of planets, in case His Highness Frentzberg has any accident at this time, we can't afford it. ”
Queen Juana was the mother of the Emperor and Queen Mary, the last member of the royal family of Tlastamara in Spain, which had been severed from the male line.
Both Ladislaus and Jones knew that the queen must have known that Spain was likely to capture a new moon, but they both felt it was time to take the opportunity to pretend they didn't know............
Jones said all that, of course, mainly for the relatively low-quality nutrients that Frentsberg had saved.
Compared with his wife, he attaches more importance to "town-level" nutrients, and he is older. The ** for maintaining strength and prolonging life is getting bigger and bigger.
But everyone also understands this in their hearts.
Jones also knew that it was very unseemly to bring up this matter himself, but he couldn't help but mention it. After all, it is only after they have just experienced the reincarnation mission together that the right time is it.
Looking at the other party's flattering smiling face, Ladislaus said seriously: "I want to see Queen Juana anytime and anywhere, and I don't need good news at all, but I just went through a hard battle today." It would be rude to go to see the queen in a bad state. ”
"Of course, that's of course." This time, it was Director Jones' turn to play dumb. "Then I'll go and tell Miss Doria or Miss Horty that you'll go to her bedroom tonight?"
……………
When Sazastan tortured Bursha, Wu Xin did not accompany him, not because he had no appetite to watch Bursha's screams.
This was not a problem for him, and although he did not know much about torture, as a senior seaman, he had always known the consequences if he gave the order.
He was just reminiscing, when Ciric came. What the hell was the voice that reminded him?
"Watch out for Him." Why is this voice so familiar, but Wu Xin just can't remember it?
And what to be careful of?
If Ciric is determined to bear the price, it will not be difficult at all to cut himself into ten or eight pieces or crush himself into powder.
What's the use of being careful?
The voice is indeed familiar............
It was almost before Wu Xin was about to understand who was reminding him, but unfortunately, at this time, Father Erlan's excited voice sounded: "Your Excellency, great news!" ”
"What good news, my priest?" Wu Xin stopped thinking and gave Father Erlan an encouraging look. After all, he was still working so late.
His priest was drenched, but his mood was really high: "The honorable priestess of the Kou Tao Fishman has promised to provide us with some food, and there are two old crabs that have reached their old age. And not suitable for making nutrients, two large crabs can provide more than two hundred pounds of food! And it's all very good meat. ”
"Ah, it seems that your communication work is quite successful!" For the Kou Tao Fishmen, the crab breeding crab is the most valuable possession, and they obviously gave the crab that can still be barely used to Father Erlan.
In fact, the Koutao fish-man tribe was by no means so reluctant, but Father Erlan, who was extremely dissatisfied with the terms of vassalage, was so eager to visit that the priestess of Horbarukuluna knew that if she didn't give something. It's hard to pass.
Offending the general manager is always a troublesome thing, and you can't fight with the chief in everything.
"The priestess didn't ask for anything, except that the bones you promised to build him a temple would be in place on time." Father Ellan didn't think it was a big deal.
Temples and beliefs are the main concerns of most people, and the Kou Tao fish people are not travelers from all over the world, and after moving their territory, most of the fish people urgently need a sense of home.
Temples and churches are the center of the home, and many famous human cities started out as small settlements around churches or temples.
"Master, since you have promised His Highness Sazastan that the remnants of the mythical shark are his property, then I don't think you should give the bones to those Koutao fish people anymore, at least not without his permission." As soon as Wu Xin and Father Erlan finished speaking, the female knight Deverich immediately objected.
She was so grateful to Sazarstan that she rarely objected to Wu Xin.
She knew that without this powerful demigod lich this time, his chances of not going crazy this time were slim.
Wu Xin looked at the female knight Deverichy seriously, with the process of demonization, her appearance now seemed more inhuman, but because of the depth of demonization, it seemed that the uncomfortable feeling of incongruity and distortion had disappeared.
The appearance of a half-human and half-demon is unacceptable, while the ** demon has a human flavor or two, which is acceptable.
She looked a lot younger, and she was back in her twenties, which was a good thing anyway.
"It's just a gesture for Sazastan, and I hope you don't have too much psychological pressure." Wu Xin tries to decompress the female knight.
"Perhaps it is indeed not too much trouble for His Highness Sazastan, the wisest and greatest." Apparently, Sazastan has a true fan, "but even the owner you can't deny the help he provided me on the beach, and if there was a fee, I would have served him for the rest of my life." ”
Wu Xin couldn't deny this, the female knight now had elite-level strength, plus saving her mind and life, such a payment was enough for the mage to gain a permanent follower.
"Alright, alright, I'll figure it out." Wu Xin agreed, and he stopped Father Erlan who wanted to speak. "There are also offerings in the desert that are suitable for the Temple of the Mother of the Sea, who hates sharks, but hates us terrestrial animals even more."
"Your Excellency, you're right, if you're going to do that, I can ask a few of the Zuwara immigrant families who have settled in the Citadel of Tripoli, and they should have information on terrestrial animals that they can give us." Father Ellan also felt the need to insist on this, but he continued to speak for the Kou Tao Fishman, and he hoped that the Priestess of Horbarukuluna would not only be a vassal of Wu Xin, but also his personal ally.
"Please let me join us in the hunt." The female knight of Devlich hoped that Wu Xin would stop caring about those Sazastan things sooner.
Wu Xin waved his hand: "Okay, don't worry, I will let you repay the favor." ”
He tried to relax the female knight's overly tense nerves: "And don't forget, Sazastan is completely giving me face, you have spent so many resources on me, and you have to repay me well." ”
Wu Xin's words sounded extremely ambiguous to Father Erlan, and he quietly walked away without disturbing Wu Xin and the female knight Deverich.
"Then allow me to guard the warehouse where shark bones and pieces of the Demon Prince's flesh are stored tonight." The knight Deverich felt that the storehouse was too loosely defended. "I know we're understaffed, I just don't need to sleep much, I can practice my skills there, and by the way, guard the property of His Highness Sazastan."
"Oh, don't worry about those stinking things." Wu Xin was never willing to let her guard the pile of rotten meat. "Don't worry about it, there are very few people in this world who can steal Sazastan's things, if I or Cassano go and get it, he will probably close his eyes, and the others will be ready to pay the bill with their lives and souls."
Father Erlan had already left in a playful way, and Wu Xin put his arms around the knight D'Vrerich, and then asked her, "Go find an open place, let me see your new abilities, and by the way, whether your life has also been restored." (To be continued.) )
