Chapter 904: Northern Community
The sky is snowing, and the cold wind is blowing!
The scorching nightmare stepped across the long street, leaving burning hoof prints on the snowy pavement, and a burly undead abhorred the silent opening, and wherever it went, it immediately made the onlookers subconsciously close their mouths.
These abominations stitched together from various corpse fragments are so hideous and ugly, and the sutures all over the body are like centipedes lying on their bodies, moving with each step, muscles and stitches, making those 'centipedes' seem to come to life.
Whining!
Finally, some children couldn't stand their ugly appearance, and cried in fright, and some little girls vomited directly, no way, it was really disgusting.
The adventurers and mercenaries were not so superficial, and those nobles, looking at Downton's hatred, their eyes were full of envy and jealousy, and they wanted to take it for themselves immediately.
This is the abomination of the undead with the nickname of the war machine, among the hoplites in all planes, it is enough to rank in the top ten, they are definitely a weapon for attacking the city, there is no pain, there is no fear, in their minds, there is always only forward, forward, and again!
Other legions are fighting less and less, and soldiers need to be recruited and trained to reach peak combat effectiveness when they die, but Abomination is different, as long as there is a war workshop, Abomination can be produced in a steady stream.
As you all know, the undead are the best at rioters, and even the most terrifying abyss demons can't compare to them in numbers.
"It's a good thing this guy doesn't have a war workshop, otherwise he would have been open to create hatred, who in those third-rate countries can stop him?"
"Come on, the construction process of the War Workshop is very complex, and even among the undead are only a few people who have mastered this technology, and there are also abomination manufacturing methods. You also have to stitch the pieces of the corpse together, and the steps are said to be tedious to death!"
The envoys of various countries felt fortunate in their whispers, especially those of third-rate countries, who were all relieved, there was no way, the birth of an iron-blooded emperor. Always means endless wars and death.
Downton swept the expressions of those people and couldn't help but want to laugh, they never dreamed that Homer was from Netheril, the brightest of magical civilizations.
At that time, the streets were full of magic goods shops, and you could buy abomination crafting manuals at any one, and the drawings of the War Workshop were relatively difficult to obtain, but the Great Magic Book was worthy of the title of Great Encyclopedia. Not only that, but there are many more, among which the strongest steel abomination, but the existence that can fight with the dragon, if it weren't for Downton's lack of materials, it would have been made long ago.
Homer's sixteenth master, a necromancer archduke, is why it has this knowledge.
Of course. The Holy See of Light Flame prohibits the construction of any dark buildings, but the Millennium Altar is underground. They wanted to break their heads, but they couldn't find out the secret.
Why did Downton dare to call the Rhine and Samosa, this is the reason, he can build an army of the undead whenever he wants, but once it is used. It's not a small problem.
Hu Tao floated around on the empty ray, and finally stopped beside Downton, a little grumbling, "I think they seem to be afraid of us?"
"It's better to be afraid, because you're afraid. will be in awe!"
The Death Knight is Rosicky's direct legion, although Downton can also call it, but he refused, this kind of 'parade', it is better to use his own corps, and the abomination will give these people a deep warning, that is, they are not easy to mess with.
It is indeed difficult to provoke, after Downton was led into the Cathedral of Toledo by the attendants, he found that a messenger was communicating in twos and threes, but there was no one around him.
Everyone, all of them stayed away from Downton, because this guy had offended the DuPont and Hohenzollern families, and these waiters didn't want the two giants to misunderstand what to do with him.
This time, some of the smaller principalities that ranked after the third-rate countries were also invited, but they had no say at all, that is, they made up the numbers.
When the men arrived at the cathedral, a priest entered the chapel and read the list.
"All the messengers whose names have been read above are invited to go to the First Chapel and attend the meeting presided over by the Envoy of St. Gerdare, and others may visit and rest in other chapels, please feel free!"
With that, the priest turned and left.
Downton noticed that only three of the third-rate countries were called, and the rest were not even qualified to observe.
"This is too much to see, isn't it?"
"Be content, people still want to invite you, don't you know, many people want to participate, but they can't get an invitation!"
"Hey, what if you go in? It's not a kowtow worm, do you dare to raise an objection?"
The envoys talked a lot, and the envoys who had conflicts between some countries were full of gunpowder in their words, and if it wasn't for the wrong place, they could fight.
"Let's go, wait for the others to discuss it, and we'll just do it!"
Some of the envoys were more relieved, and instead of standing here waiting for news, they went to attend the cathedral, of course, if they left early, it was okay, but no one would be brainless enough to do such a thing.
Since it was in the cathedral, no alcohol was served, but juices were available, so the envoys took the opportunity to start contacting each other to see if they could negotiate a few trades and increase contact.
There is hardly a fool who can serve as an envoy to such an important meeting, so they can form alliances and expand their international standing as much as possible.
"Are these people kind-hearted? Aren't they afraid that the decision of the meeting will be bad for the country?"
Downton frowned, this feeling of not being taken seriously made him feel very depressed.
"You don't understand this, a third-rate country like this, fighting alone, has long been swallowed up by the surrounding territories, so they all have a suzerain, they participate in the meeting, they are here to support the suzerain, as for the decision, of course, what the suzerains say, that is!"
Homer didn't say a word, whether Downton admits it or not, in the eyes of other countries, Frankfurt is Lombardy's little brother, without this backstage, others would have called him earlier.
Although the priest said that he could rest, he distributed to each of the envoys a white paper entitled "On the Superiority of the Northern Community", which was more than 100 pages long, filled with dense fonts in the official font of Saint-Gerterland, as well as the fonts of the countries to which the envoys belonged.
At this point, all earlier speculation and gossip were largely overturned, and everyone originally thought that Saint-Gertland was going to unify the north, but they did not expect it to be such a plan.
"That's a good plan, isn't it?"
Downton flipped through the key contents, and praised them from the bottom of his heart.
The main theme of this parliament is to discuss the establishment of the Northern Alliance, so that the countries of the North can form a community, unify the economy, language, eliminate tariffs, break down trade barriers, and so on, and strive to realize the plan of eliminating war and common prosperity within 10 years.
"Yes? You have a hole in your head, right? Let's talk about this first, unify the official language, with whom? Saint-Gertland or Saint Laurent? Or Holy Britannia?"
When a middle-aged man next to Downton heard this, he couldn't help but ask, "Hmph, language is the foundation of a country and the inheritance of culture, when the language of another country becomes the mainstream, how do you ensure that the people of the country are not assimilated?"
Downton was silent.
"I can't say it, right? Break down trade barriers? Why? A certain country has become rich by relying on some kind of special product, and now it is forced to balance, isn't it fattening those developing countries?"
The words of the middle-aged people made some already developed countries nod frequently, and they felt that this was cutting their flesh again.
As the middle-aged people talked, more and more people gathered and began to whisper discussions, and when it came to such a big thing, naturally there were great disputes and disagreements.
"Sure enough, he defended the name of the indigenous duke, and he didn't understand anything!"
"You say that this kind of messenger has a fart purpose in addition to adding to the chaos?"
"This guy just took shit luck, look at it, Frankfurt fell into his hands, and within five years, he would definitely be divided up by decay!"
Either jealous, or envious, in short, the messengers with all kinds of thoughts, all took advantage of this opportunity to shoot at Downton, we can't beat him, but in other aspects, we can defeat him, and then ensure superiority.
Downton didn't plan to come out this time, he listened to it steadily, anyway, with his status, the opinions he put forward would not be taken seriously, but he didn't expect a word, and he was provoked.
"Refute, or your reputation will stink, and all the northern countries will know that you are an incompetent fool!"
Cheap God urges.
"Hmph, don't think that you can decide something by standing here, you should go home and study for a few more years, otherwise millions of citizens will fall into poverty because of your wrong decision!"
The middle-aged man snorted coldly, because he had defeated Downton, and his face was full of smugness.
"Your Excellency, the unification of the official language can facilitate communication, as well as the dissemination and inheritance of scholarship, whether you admit it or not, our third-rate countries do not say that compared with the nine empires, compared with the second-rate countries such as Xueman, they have a great disadvantage in magic and technology, and if you want to absorb the specialties of other countries as much as possible, there is no common language, it takes a long time, and it takes a lot of energy!"
Downton didn't have stage fright and talked eloquently.
In addition, each country does not understand the language, and there are differences in the recording of knowledge, grammar and writing habits, and sometimes a small detail can cause a thousand kinds of mistakes. ”
Some of the envoys nodded, indeed, they also sent excellent students to study in other countries, just learning other people's languages is very time-consuming, and because they are not native languages, there is always no feeling of being at hand.
"In addition, the same language does not necessarily have to be the official language of the Nine Great Empires, it can also be Netherrean, or even the lingua franca of the continent that not many people know anymore!"
A long time ago, with the conquest of the world by the powerful elven queen, a continental lingua franca was produced, but now, because of the rise of the great empire and the expansion of influence, few people use those anymore, but use these imperial Chinese.
For example, Frankfurt, because of its proximity to Saint-Gerland, some civilians in the country can speak a few words of everyday language.
The middle-aged man was dumbfounded, pondered for a while, and was about to speak, Downton continued. (To be continued......)
