Chapter 15: The Blood of Mercury (Subscription Requested!! )
The ambassador of the United Kingdom, Skåna Persson, left with anger on his face, he knew that he and his country were offended, but this was the territory of the Romanov Kingdom, and he did not dare to refute anything, especially if Katerina had murderous intentions....
Anyone could see that Katerina was in an extremely bad mood, and her extreme anger calmed her down.
The United Kingdom of Ruiwei sent envoys with the idea of Karl IX: to support the independence of Duke Yovanovich and others.
Behind the United Kingdom of Ruiwei is the Kingdom of Windsor, without the support of King Rhodes IV and the Church of the Three Goddesses of Destiny, the United Kingdom of Ruiwei, which has always liked neutrality, would never be this bird and run to provoke Katerina, who is angry.
The Kingdom of Windsor has taken a stand, as has the Bonaparte Empire, and although the Roman Republic has not yet reacted, it is not difficult to imagine their choice ....
As an enemy of the Apocalypse, the Church of Truth has been isolated from the Central Continent, like a lion trapped in the mountains and forests, with nowhere to escape.
The Voodoo Kingdom and the Khazar Kingdom in the Southern Continent can't help much, and the churches that rule there, such as the Witch God Cult, were once part of the Apocalypse God System, but they are the objects of conquest, not the direct gods of the God of the Apocalypse.
It's not realistic to expect them to help, not to mention that far water can't solve the near fire.
"Father, we.... Will it really fail? ”
After Skåna left, Katerina pondered for a long time before saying, "The Church of the Three Goddesses of Fate and the Cult of the God of Wisdom seem to have united and want to divide us. ”
"Your Majesty, Neilei Yinda has not come so far, the Freedom Society says that she is dead, if Neilei Yinda is really dead, then the Apocalypse Divine System will lose the main god, and they will be afraid of the rise of the Church of Truth, but in the same way, they all want to become the master of the Divine System...."Ma Wei said: "Such a church will not be completely united, so they have not united to launch an attack so far, they are just playing some political means, and no one is willing to contribute." ”
"Is this our chance?"
"Yes, I'm sure."
"Helsinki has the support of the Church of the Three Goddesses of Fate, Kyiv and Warsaw have the support of the Cult of Wisdom, how can we take the land back?" Katerina rubbed her eyebrows, and a strong sense of powerlessness rose in her heart.
At the same time, facing several churches, all of them are as powerful as them, and the Church of Truth has no certainty of victory, and similarly, Katerina does not have it.
If it was just the Cult of Wisdom that was in the way, then Katerina would not hesitate to start a war with Mavi and desperately want to regain the lost territory, but since the appearance of Skåna, the ambassador of the United Kingdom, the situation has changed....
Attack Kyiv, Warsaw, the Church of the Three Goddesses of Fate will launch a sneak attack from the west, attack Helsinki, the Cult of Wisdom will attack from the southeast, and the Romanov kingdom .... In other words, the Church of Truth, the current number of monks is not enough to support a two-front battle, and it is impossible for Yunia to defeat the Three Goddesses of Fate and Anatol at the same time!
The opponent's brazenness made Katerina almost grit her teeth, but she knew in her heart that the advantage was not on the side of the Romanov Kingdom.
The war has just ended, the kingdom is in ruins, and it is extremely reluctant to start a war again, if it turns into a protracted war of attrition...
The Romanov kingdom, I'm afraid it's really going to die!
"We have no allies, we can only rely on ourselves!" Katerina gritted her teeth and asked, "Father, is there any way we can help us regain our lost ground?" ”
"Yes."
Katerina's eyes lit up, and she couldn't wait to ask, "What method?" ”
"Light the white candle of the gods and usher in the descending kingdom of the lost gods." Ma Wei said quietly: "At the moment when we can't defeat our opponents, bringing in foreign aid is a choice, whether it is the true god Baji or the Odin god line, they can become the enemy of the apocalypse god system!" With their help, not to mention Kyiv, Warsaw, Helsinki, even if it is not difficult to take Paris ...."
Ma Wei's eyes were full of worry, and he couldn't help but recall the prophecy on the Calamity Tablet, that humanity would usher in their own gods, and that the gate of the kingdom of God would descend on the world....
It seems that the direction of development of all things has been expected by Neilei Yin Da.
Is it really a good thing to open the door to the old era?
Ma Wei thinks it's not a good thing, Yunia has just completed her first promotion, and she has not yet established her own god system, so she summons the old god system....
Even if they finally defeat the Apocalypse Divine System, the fruits of victory will be plucked by the re-descending Old Divine Faction.
In order to drive away the wolf, the tiger was attracted, and the wolf was dead, so what should the tiger do?
The Church of Truth is now at a critical juncture, and there are two paths in front of it, one of which....
The abyss to hell!
"Your Majesty, if we don't launch a full-scale attack at this time, if we just delay time, we may be able to usher in a turnaround." Ma Wei said suddenly.
"The turning point you are talking about should not be to go to the Kingdom of Windsor, overthrow the Church of the Three Goddesses of Destiny, and form the Great Northern Alliance, right?"
"That's right." Mavi nodded: "If I can succeed, then all problems will be solved, the rise of the Romanov kingdom will be unstoppable, the light of truth.... It will shine on the earth! ”
"What if you fail?"
"The fourth prince Arthur will die, I should be able to escape back, and when the time comes, I will have to give it a go and summon the Lost Kingdom of God to come."
"My cousin must be very happy to hear you say that.....
Ma Wei said expressionlessly: "Your Majesty, there is a price and risk in doing everything, and there is a risk of breaking your foot when you go out and walk, isn't it?" The bigger the scheme, the greater the risk, just like we did at the beginning, now think about it, how much courage does it take for the Church of Truth with only a few hundred believers to dare to confront the Cult of Wisdom with millions of believers? ”
"Your Majesty, you are the same, when you chose us, you also had the idea of becoming a benevolent person if you didn't succeed, didn't you?"
"I think that Arthur, the fourth prince, is the same as us, and if we can win, so can he."
Katerina shook her head: "Arthur is facing a different situation than me, he is indeed very ambitious and powerful, but the place where you are is the base camp of the Church of the Three Goddesses of Destiny.... London. All actions must be carried out under the nose of the goddess, it is impossible to propagate the teachings on a large scale, only to secretly develop believers, both in difficulty and danger, it is much greater than in the Romanov kingdom, this is dancing on the tip of a knife! ”
"Speaking of which, when I was in the Royal Navy, Crowley taught me ballroom dancing and he said I was a good dancer and I was a good dancer." Ma Wei touched his chin and said.
"Priest...."
"Don't worry, Your Majesty." Ma Wei smiled and comforted Katerina: "So many winds and waves have come, what else is there to be afraid of?" ”
"Maybe I'm destined to be an adventurer, I have to keep challenging the strong, I only have one chance, I can't lose, and I won't lose, because I'm not fighting for myself, but for Yunia, for Come, Dino, Fat Orange..... For all believers who follow the truth! ”
"I'm like that person, when you ask me to do something for myself, I'm always unmotivated, I can drag it out when I'm lazy, but if someone needs me, or when someone is around me, I will gush out a lot of motivation.... I'm more afraid of loneliness than death. ”
Mavi got up from the sofa, looked into Katerina's slightly moved eyes, and said softly: "Your Majesty, change your strategy, delay as much time as possible, use all the methods you can use, use political means, and negotiate with the Bonaparte Empire and the Kingdom of Windsor around the territorial issue, it is best to involve the Kingdom of Frederick and the Roman Republic, everyone sits together and argues, in short, the longer it drags on, the better, buy me time." ”
“.... Well, I'll start negotiations with them. ”
Looking at the back of Mavi walking towards the door, Katerina suddenly asked, "Father, there will be a private dinner tonight, would you like to attend?" ”
After a pause, Ma Wei stopped, slowly put on the bowler hat pinched in his hand, and said: "I don't like to participate in banquets, the festive and warm atmosphere will paralyze and corrode my will, and it will also affect my judgment, so.... I think it's better to forget it, Your Majesty, thank you for the invitation. ”
Katerina squeezed out a slightly reluctant smile: "It's okay priest, it's okay for you to be casual, it's just a dinner party, there are still many opportunities in the future, and when we win the day, we won't be afraid of will and judgment being corroded or something." ”
"Well, then I'll take my leave."
Pushing open the door, Mavi left the office, and Katerina walked to the window and looked at his fading figure, her brow furrowed, as if thinking about something.
"Your Majesty, is the dinner still going to be held as scheduled?" Marusa asked.
"Cancel it." Katerina sighed: "Without the protagonist, what is the need to continue this scene, it will only add to the trouble." ”
......................................
When Mavi returned to the church, he found that Jaylan was still waiting for him, and he was full of energy to study the formula of 'Mercury Blood' in his hand.
The high-grade potion 'Mercury Blood' ratio is very difficult, even in the "Potions Recipes" can be regarded as the most difficult to make, the potion that can restrain many transcendent races is very powerful in itself, and it is highly toxic to humans, and it also has strong hallucinogenic properties.
In order to make high-grade potions, it is necessary to have complete equipment, and the glass container has the highest stability, basically does not react with any substance, and is the most suitable general-purpose vessel.
Jaylan alone couldn't make 'Mercury Blood', and he didn't know how to make potions at all, so he had to turn to Mavi for help.
"Priest, where should I find these materials..."Geylan took the recipe and said with a big head, "The peeled rhizome of the hearttail grass, the white aphid resin, and the obsidian that can only be condensed after the death of the undead.... What the hell is this? I've never heard of it! ”
"Calm down, don't worry, isn't there the characteristics and growth environment of the hearttail grass and the white aphid tree on the "Detailed Explanation of Herbal Medicine"?" Ma Wei sat down at his desk, picked up his quill and said, "Hearttail grass and white aphid trees are not rare, they have appeared in the Ural Mountains, according to the information provided above, you can always find them." ”
"Yes, I know, but this immortal soul stone condensed after death...."Jaylan scratched his head: "The beast catalogue says that the location of the undead is random, and the more places where the death occurs, the easier it is to give birth to the undead, and there is no specific location, where can I find it?" ”
"Jaylan."
Ma Wei put down the quill and turned his head to look at the anxious and irritable Jaylan: "I know you are in a hurry, but being anxious can't solve the problem, I have already asked Dino to distribute a newspaper that publishes herbs and transcendent creatures, as long as the newspaper is sent to the people, we will soon receive relevant information, maybe there is information about the undead?" ”
"If I were you, I would definitely not waste time here now, but would go to the newspaper office and help Dino print the newspaper."
"Yes, yes, yes! I'll go! ”
Jaylan pushed open the window, intending to jump directly from the second floor, it was a blood clan, it could fly, and it couldn't fall to its death.
"Don't be unhelpful, everything is under Dino's command.... Bring the windows shut. ”
"Got it, Father!"
