Chapter 185: Do you dare not recruit?

Sazastan had already identified the cloak, and in terms of quality, it was indeed "core".

Along with the identification, Sazastan also predicted that the thing would not sell for money at all.

The Knight of Peron's reply also confirmed his opinion.

Of course, the demigod Lich-Master doesn't have the interest or time to explain much on paper.

"It doesn't make sense, since the last emperor, Madrid has been hungry for any loot that can embarrass France, this is the king's mantle, Louis IX's mantle." Kessler is still incomprehensible that Louis IX was the most famous of all the French kings, and was considered so perfect that he did not feel like a human being.

He enforced the law fairly, was strict with his subordinates, restrained his selfish desires, and devoted himself to the public.

Stop the war with England and unite the spearhead with the outside world.

He participated in the Crusades, and repeatedly took the lead in going directly to the Black Continent and the Middle East, and remained obsessed with it after his first defeat and being a prisoner for several years.

After a long period of preparation, he went on another expedition and finally died on the way to the east.

He was a model of a wise monarch, both within the Kingdom of France and in the propaganda of the Roman Church.

"This thing is the trophy of the Hassf family when he was captured while participating in the Crusades, the Crusades are politically correct in the Kingdom of Spain, and buying this trophy will only damage the face of the emperor, not the face of the French, which is the most glorious part of French history." After Wu Xin got the hint and then thought about it carefully, he already understood why the cloak in his hand was not valuable.

Kessler said with annoyance: "The capture mission is the pearl of the reincarnation mission, you need new equipment, elite or even core-level, just count on this core-level equipment to be exchanged for other core-level equipment." ”

After building this sustained-release pool, his inventory was really basically clean, except for the necessary casting materials and nutrients. The Church of Flames is running out of stock.

And he also has to participate in the capture mission, and there is no point in weakening himself.

Recently, there had been an exchange of information between Wu Xin and Kessler, and he was quite sure that the first to tell Wu Xin that the capture mission would inevitably cause full resistance from that sub-plane, and that there would definitely be a powerful enemy in the "core" class among the enemies. A lucky "core" level enemy.

On the reincarnation side, at most, the power of the "elite" level, most of them are still beginners, perhaps several "elites" against the elites carried by one "core".

Of course, in the capture mission, this is already a small gap.

Depending on the completion of the pre-task, the balance of power will change in various ways.

Overall, though, the capture mission is always tough.

It is a natural choice to use equipment to make up for the strength of the not.

"Anyway, you've already completed a mission recently, and it's still a while before I want to advance to the elite. Let's see what we can buy. Wu Xin asked Kessler to look at the red spider in his sleeve. This thing can also be sold, so it should be possible to change the core. ”

The "Secret Spider" is too fancy, Kessler's first seat does not look down on him at all, and he is not optimistic: "This thing can't be sold for a price, can you wear that Louis IX cloak?" Don't have a mental block. ”

As Wu Xin, it is indeed funny to wear a cloak with a blue background and a golden lily, but if it is a reincarnation mission, it is not impossible.

The problem is not here. Wu Xin had actually tried it a long time ago: "I can only provide a few charms when I wear them, and the effect of a hard-level strange object." ”

It's not bad for warlocks, too. But when worn on the French royal family, members of the Capetian family, it has infinite use.

It's fine if it's normal, but in a capture mission, the difference is likely to be fatal.

"Maybe you should consider sending someone to Rome one more time, the Christmas-New Year's fair is coming." Kessler's first revisit. He's already mentioned it. "Your Secret Spider and Louis IX's cloak may fetch the right price at a trade fair."

That's where the fair comes in, and it's a source of revenue that is fiercely contested between several major powers.

The trade in strange things and high-end nutrients itself is definitely not taxable, but the trade in low-end nutrients and spellcasting materials that come with it, as well as other materials. All of them are taxable

Whichever country controls the most mainstream trading locations will naturally have many benefits.

Wu Xin also wanted to attract the powerful presence of the Black Continent to the port of Tripoli to make a similar deal, although the scale was much smaller, but the goal was the same, of course, this plan was currently delayed by the war.

"I'm going to the fair in the port of Seville, where I say there are a lot of strange things to buy from the New World. If there is more supply, the price will be reasonable. "In fact, there are similar activities in Paris and Venice, of course, Wu Xin will never consider it, the price is relatively not the primary factor in this kind of procurement, and it doesn't matter if he sells it to the Spaniards, anyway, he has a limited budget and few people.

"New World, what strange things can those barbarians have?" Kessler's first seat is the same thing, and the real problem is money. "If necessary, you should spend the state budget on this procurement."

That's why Alpha likes to pull monarchs and plutocrats into the world of reincarnation, they are the most powerful reincarnations.

Wu Xin was very hesitant about this, he probably had fourteen or five thousand thalers in his account, except that five thousand thalers were the jewels of the Jewish church.

Most of the others were Venetian and Florentine gold coins with great purchasing power, as well as Spanish silver coins, although some of the poorer Byzantine silver coins and Ottomans obtained in the Black Continent were of great purchasing power.

After the capture of Zuwara, the booty and the taxes of the nomads were not counted, and his ability to pay was not weak.

But Wu Xin can not be compared with the strong monarchs of the European continent, even if he can use the state budget, and many monarchs of countries with sound institutions have difficulty using the state budget, but their pocket money is about the same as the state budget of Tripoli, and the emperor's pocket money is even more.

Wu Xin has other problems to consider, he is unwilling to interrupt the current capital chain, he rejected Kessler's first proposal: "The current financial situation is good, but this is not a tax income, Zuwara can't grab it for the third time, I can't guarantee that there will be such income in the future." ”

Kessler's first seat still insisted: "Tunisia is in chaos. We have a chance to loot other cities, and while the main plane is fundamental, it's okay to slow down the pace of the main plane compared to capturing a plane, you've already seen the alpha list, and it's still an unexplored secondary plane. Once captured, you can further expand the output. The materials that can be produced by that Eastern Plane are really good, and each of them is a rare and urgently needed material in Europa. ”

Wu Xin shook his head again: "The chaos in Tunisia will continue, but to rob other cities, I must have enough money to maintain the ability to attack, and I still have a city to hold onto, I don't have a fleet, I must build a stronger city, and more warehouses." I also want to attract immigrants, more ditches and houses, my money is simply not enough, a core-level strange object is worth at least 10,000 thalers, and things below 10,000 are often things that are of very low value for battle, such as the Secret Spider, and good goods cost at least fifteen thousand thalers. ”

Wu Xin has never forgotten the situation he faced, and he has to argue when he sees Kessler's first seat. Wu Xin talked about another question: "By the way, what are you looking for me?" ”

"Oh. By the way, you know how busy I am, even if you don't add more people to me, at least don't make a mess. Kessler remembered his original intention of coming to Wu Xin, he didn't come to care about the reincarnation mission.

After completing the renovation of the Xingyue Temple, he was also responsible for developing believers among the nomadic tribes that had just surrendered. And sorted, transported, and stored the tribute sent by the nomadic tribes.

Compared with the collection of precious metals, the collection of various physical taxes requires much more manpower in the later stage, and the efficiency of use is far less than that of precious metal taxes.

This is the price of making those subjugated tribes less uncomfortable, and there are pros and cons to everything.

A large number of literate immigrants were drawn closer to the army, and Father Erlan had to compete for administrators. The manpower allocated to him was naturally insufficient, so he was already so busy that he didn't have time to meet Wu Xin at all.

It's just that Wu Xin threw the former pastor Elistra with Drow blood into prison and tortured him.

Although Cormona did not have much experience in this area, the job was handed over to her.

"Not only did you decount me from a low-level pastor's assistant, but you also tortured people who could serve me with insufficient manpower." Kessler's first seat is currently rescuing his much-needed pastor.

Wu Xin hesitated for a while: "You and I can go and see her." ”

Five minutes later, Wu Xin and Kessler were the first to meet with the apprentice and the priest who had just surrendered.

This Xingyue Temple originally had a prison cell, and as an imam, she often whipped those guilty here, but she didn't expect that she would also be hanged and beaten one day.

She was hung naked, covered in whip marks, and had just undergone a conversion ceremony, and her body was already unstable.

"Your Excellency, she has already recruited all of them, she really knew that these people were all ambushed in the Xingyue Temple, she was a fraud!" Cormona was very excited, she had been busy for hours to get this result. "She told me that the enemy had been lurking there for a long time, and that she and her god were completely loyal to the Star and Moon Archdemon."

Together, Colmona and Devreich demanded that Wu Xin never trust the priestess who had surrendered.

Kessler wanted to speak, but Wu Xin raised his hand to stop him, and Wu Xin asked his assistant, "Did she tell the number of enemies and who the leader was?" ”

"Uh, no." Apprentice Colmona doesn't think it matters. "She admits it, she actually still believes in the Star Moon Great Demon!"

"Did she say that the enemy had arranged a blood sacrifice circle in the Star Moon Temple?" This answer made Wu Xin frown, and he clearly felt that this dying pastor was now sharing the same faith as himself.

"Uh, no, the enemy has an evil circle there? She still has something to hide?! Let me keep torturing her! "Trainee Colmona felt that her energy began to recover again, and her motivation came up again, whipping the slaves who believed in the Star-Moon Sect made her very satisfied, but what made her even more excited was obviously the whipping of the priest of the Star-Moon Sect, even if she had rebelled, but the Kormona trainee would not accept such a thing." How dare you hide it!! ”

As she spoke, she picked up a basin of urine and was about to pour it on the hapless pastoress.

"Enough, enough." Wu Xin glanced apologetically at Kessler's first seat, and he was right on this question, "That is, what you don't know, she doesn't know, and what you want her to know, she knows." ”

Kessler was the first to put the priestess down and give her a "healing injury", a zero-level magic that didn't require spellcasting materials, and also allowed her to regain consciousness.

Of course, Wu Xin is not wrong, it is not wrong to be careful, but there is a price.

No matter who proposed it, she was the enemy, and since Wu Xin accepted the suggestion, she had the responsibility to lead.

This female pastor didn't have much recognition, and this time, she was even more decentive.

The Colmona trainee was really not an expert in this area, and if it had been Villefort, things would have gone much better.

Wu Xin couldn't help but miss the French gang member, the island of Malta under martial law was gathering all the defenses, and neither he nor Delia could come to the Black Continent as planned.

He knew that the purpose of torture was not to torture him, but to obtain information.

Even if you torture an innocent person, you will at least realize that you are wrong, and save Wu Xin and your face, it will not look so ridiculous.

What else does the Cormona trainee have to argue.

Wu Xin raised his hand and told her not to say: "Take this pastor, well, Kessler first, what is her name?" ”

"She said it didn't matter what she was going to call anymore, she was Yara now." The distinctly star-moon style name was clearly not suitable, and Kessler gave her a new name.

"Yes, my name is Yara, my master." Yara drank the water that Kessler's first seat had given her, still looking at Cormona's apprenticeship warily.

Wu Xin waved his hand to let Cormona leave, then squatted down and said to the priestess who couldn't stand up yet: "Sister Yara, I know now, you really don't know that there are enemies lurking around the altar, I hope you understand, this is a necessary security measure, after all, the conversion ceremony does not guarantee loyalty." ”

The conversion ritual is a test of will, mainly related to the perception and constitution of the convert, so it is not surprising that some spies can survive this kind of ritual.

Yara just nodded silently, "treating minor injuries" could not heal his body, and her heart hurt even more.

However, Wu Xin didn't care very much, she did have reason to resent, but she didn't get any trust on the side of the Ottoman Empire.

She wasn't even allowed to know about the ambush plan.

"Kessler is the first one, and I'm sure you'll be able to use an experienced manager." Although it has broken her heart, since she was not taken seriously in the first place, Wu Xin can still completely transform her. "Give her a treatment for her slander, so that Sister Yara can get better as soon as possible, so that she can serve our common cause as soon as possible." (To be continued......)
