"So, he rejected you?" Buckler began to taunt Huey. οΌ»οΌ½
Who told him to want Raschel to follow him?
"Very resolutely refused. Huey also smiled: "Raschel is an imperial dog, and it will not be easy for him to change this loyalty." Even before that, the Reims Empire had abandoned him. β
"It's a shame to know that Raschel is a talent. Christine kneading Huey's shoulders behind her. For Christine, what happened to the Royal Garden not only nearly knocked Huey down, but Christine herself also suffered a major crisis. If it weren't for Prince Richard proving Xiuyi's "innocence" in the end, then she could only choose the ending of running away with Xiuyi.
Compared to Huey, she will lose all her family business.
"In that case, why don't you kill him?" Chakra asked.
For Raschel, Chakle has a lot of hatred in his heart.
If it weren't for the old fox forcing himself to do things for him, he wouldn't have become one of the most wanted criminals in the Empire like Xiu Yi now. Of course, as it stands, the Empire doesn't care too much about capturing Chakra, the problem is that from now on, he will be insulated from a life of pleasure.
"I still want to try. Huey replied.
"Still want to try?" everyone asked.
Huey nodded affirmatively: "Raschel is a high-minded man, he will never admit defeat so easily." Don't look at how cooperative he was today, in fact he had other plans. β
Raschel is an old fox, and Huey is also a little fox, and both have a good understanding of human nature.
As said, it is often your enemy who knows you best, Raschel is certainly the one who understands Huey, but why doesn't Huey know the other person the same?
The old and the young test each other in contact with each other, lie, and secretly calculate, each with their own scheming.
At this moment, Huey said: "Raschel told me that he was going back to Shenzhen, that was a lie, and all his cooperation was just an illusion. He is loyal to the Empire, but equally angry that the Empire has abandoned him. A person like Raschel will not easily admit defeat, Chakra, didn't he tell you that the agent's pursuit of the prisoner, as long as the prisoner is not caught for a day, it is a failure, but no matter how many times he fails, is it the agent who wins in the end?"
Chakra nodded.
In other words, Raschel is the kind of person who can lose a hundred times and catch the last victory. In his heart, I was still a criminal, at least nominally. That's enough, so he won't give up on his duty, that is, catch me. β
"But he is no longer an agent of the Department of Justice and Political Affairs, and he has no resources at his disposal. β
So the only thing he could do was ...... It is to expose the identity of Siseddar Daniel and expose all the conspiracies to the world. In doing so, he took revenge on the Empire and proved himself to be the best agent at the same time. Xiu Yi smiled: "I don't know how he will do this, but whether he succeeds or fails, his end is already doomed." β
Looking at the crowd, Huey said, "This is my last chance to give Raschel, and I hope to get this man and make him serve me." I know you think differently, but this time, I'm sticking with my decision. β
βββββββββ
Raschel's matter was settled.
Since Raschel could no longer pose any threat to Xiu Yi in a short period of time, Xiu Yi focused all his energy on the production of the alchemy factory.
According to Xiuyi's plan, the alchemy factory was mainly responsible for the production of gargoyles and puppet warriors. This is mainly due to the fact that the Vajra puppet has requirements for shaping, which only Xiu Yi can do at present, even if it is handed over to the alchemy factory to do, it makes no sense. Although the power of the gargoyle puppet is much lower, it is cheaper, less resource-requirement, and slightly stronger than the puppet warriors produced on Purgatory Island.
As for the puppet warriors, it was ready to be delivered to the Frank Empire. For Huey, this product has been completely eliminated in his eyes.
The day after the meeting with Raschel, Keith of the Church of the Scourge finally got the news - after months of heated debate, the Church of the Scourge had finally made a decision.
In the image of the crystal ball.
Huey and Keith talk.
Hue said, "So the Scourge Church is only going to make the first two deals?"
"Yes, that's what the patriarchs meant. Keith nodded.
Half a month of research by the Church of the Natural Disaster was not in vain.
The three deals that Huey proposed to Keith were a replica of the Soul Eater for alchemy, a replica of the Dark Blade for a spell recorded in the Book of Darkness, and a message of the Sword of Glory and a replica for the Nightmare Horse.
After some research and discussion, the elders of the Church of the Scourge quickly realized that the first two deals were definitely viable. Although the alchemy of imitating artifacts is rare, after all, it has its own limitations, and it is necessary to have an artifact in your hand to imitate it. In other words, even if Xiu Yi broke his promise and spread the alchemy, it might not have much impact on the Church of the Scourge. Moreover, the materials needed to imitate the artifact are mainly produced in Nanda6, and even if the other two churches obtain this kind of alchemy, they may not be able to exert much effect.
Considering that Xiu Yi himself is a soul mage and cannot be a friend of the Holy Spirit Church, the Church of the Scourge does not have to worry that he will give alchemy to the Holy Spirit Church, so this first deal is completely feasible.
As for the second transaction, it's simpler.
Dark spells are not mystical spells in themselves, and cultivating magic requires talent, not secrets. Although the Book of Darkness contains some rare, even lost, dark magic. But what is lost does not mean that it is the best. On the contrary, there is a lot of magic that is lost because it is not practical enough. What can be passed down is the one that can stand the test. Of course, there are a few spells that are quite good, but it is too difficult to master them, so they are lost. But in any case, the practice method of magic itself is not too rare in this big 6, and only the talent itself is the most precious.
So the second deal is also completely viable.
The biggest problem is the third deal, where Huey offers a nightmare horse.
For the Church of the Scourge, it is not difficult to kill an eleventh-level demonic beast, no matter how powerful the demonic beast is, it is not an opponent of humans who are good at organizing. Even if Rita, a demon dragon who came out of the twelfth order, wanted to run into the human world to make waves, it was guaranteed that he would not be arrogant for a few days, and he would still be bombarded into slag by hundreds of magicians. But to capture and tame a high-level magical beast, it will not be easy.
The Church of the Scourge spent countless manpower and material resources to catch these two nightmare horses, and after twenty years of training, they were gradually tamed, and their value was not even weaker than the existence of magic weapons.
Xiui wants to trade news about the Sword of Glory for Nightmare Horse, but none of the Scourge Church elders are fools. Although Huey didn't name the Sword of Glory, they had guessed something - it was likely that Huey had obtained an artifact from the Church of the Holy Spirit.
The reason for this speculation is precisely because Hue proposed to replace the real artifact with an imitation in order to increase the appeal of the Church of the Scourge. The patriarchs could easily imagine if the Church of the Holy Spirit had lost an artifact and replaced it with an imitation to ensure the glory of the church. And this artifact happened to fall into the hands of Xiuyi, which is why Xiuyi proposed such an exchange of opinions. Otherwise, it would be impossible for Huyglaire to think of this cooperation proposal that would be in his best interest in a matter of seconds, but which the Scourge Church would not be able to refuse.
It's entirely possible.
This speculation was definitely exciting for the veterans, but it was also because of this speculation that they lost their interest in trading.
It's not that they don't want to hit their opponents, it's that the price they have to pay is too great. For the Church of the Scourge, getting a magic weapon and losing an artifact are two completely different concepts. Getting a magic weapon is to increase one's own strength, and losing the opponent's artifact will only weaken the opponent's strength. Although the Church of the Holy Spirit is the mortal enemy of the Church of Natural Disasters, it is not the only enemy. In the minds of the Scourge Church, there is an even more formidable and powerful enemy, which is the demon creatures of another plane. Therefore, weakening the opponent may make you more psychologically satisfied, but in terms of actual effect, it is far less meaningful than improving your own strength.
After much discussion, the Church of the Scourge decided that it would be a good thing to be able to use the Church of the Holy Spirit's loss of artifact to deal a blow to it, but it was not too urgent. After all, once the Church of the Scourges claimed to possess the Four Demonic Weapons of Chaos, it would be a major blow to the Church of the Holy Spirit. On this basis, it is clearly not a wise choice to fight a non-primary enemy at the cost of a Nightmare Pony in another Big 6.
It has always been prudent to weaken oneself as the price of attacking one's opponent.
Of course, if Huey is willing to change conditions, then the Scourge will be happy to sprinkle a handful of salt on the opponent's wounds if the effort is limited.
"All I need is the Nightmare Pony. Huey said with certainty.
"It makes it difficult for me. Keith said helplessly: "The resolution of the Presbyterian Church cannot be changed, the church has always longed to establish a Nightmare Knights with the Nightmare Horse as the main body, which will be our main combat force in the future, but in fact, even we are still too far from this goal." I've given you one, and it's even farther away from the dream of our Nightmare Knights. But if you're willing to tell us which artifact the Church of the Holy Spirit is missing, and if you're willing to provide us with a copy to confirm it, then we can provide you with something else. For example, some alchemy resources of Nanda 6 specialties. β
"There's no need for that. Xiu Yi shook his head: "I want the resources of Nanda 6, but that can be done in other ways, such as we cooperate, you provide resources, and I will make you some small things that you will like." β
"Like a scout bee?"
Xiu Yi smiled: "Better than that." β
"This can be considered, but Nightmare Pony ...... What do you think of us replacing you with force, and we can send you a knight to follow you, to be driven by you. β
"The elders of the Church of the Scourge don't have to use this method if they want to drag people into the water, do they? I don't plan to fight the Church of the Holy Spirit right now, at least not yet. β
"If you give us a copy of the artifact, sooner or later, they will know that you made it. β
"How long can it be delayed, even if tomorrow the whole world will know, at least today, I will not take the initiative to say. The Knights of the Church of the Scourge are powerful, but they don't make much sense in Peking University 6. All I need is the Nightmare Horse. β
Keith grimaced: "It's really an impossible deal, that's what we used to breed. β
"How are Nightmare Horses mated?"
"Once a year, you can have 10 to 20 mares at a time. But since mares are not nightmare horses, they only survive a third of the time at most after breeding. It's this one-third, and there are only a few who can give birth to cubs smoothly. So a nightmare horse can only provide us with two or three ponies a year. "Keith is also very cooperative on this issue.
"How many of these nightmare horses are there in the Church of the Scourge right now?"
"We've had nightmare horses for almost twenty years, and at first nightmare horses were very uncooperative and barely had any ponies. But then I got used to it, and the situation gradually got better. We've lost twelve Beast Trainers, and we're now only about seventy hybrid Nightmare Ponies. And to build a Nightmare Knights, at least three hundred are needed. Now you know how important the nightmare is to us, right?"
Huey, the animal trainer, suddenly remembered the attack he had encountered when he had come to Winlington. He is an animal trainer.
"Did you ever send someone to ambush the envoy team of the Frank Empire?" asked Xiu Yi immediately.
Keith paused, with an embarrassed look on his face: "So you know about it." β
"Why do you do that?"
"A neighbor of civil war is more popular than a neighbor who lives in harmony. Keith replied naturally: "If the Frank envoy is assassinated on the territory of the Reims Empire, then the peace of Peking University 6 will not end." β
"But you also said that the main external enemy of the Church of the Scourge is the Demon Realm. β
"The Demon Realm is the main external enemy of all mankind. Keith corrected Huey's words: "But people don't believe us, they don't think the demon world will invade because they can't come at all. People are like snails hiding in their shells, always fantasizing about peace but never facing the suffering that may come. The Church of the Natural Disaster is committed to fighting the apocalypse and saving the natural disaster, but we need everyone's support, and NTU 6 alone is not enough!"
"So ......"
"The whole Big 6 has to be united under one voice. β
It sounds more like a careerist's manifesto and an aggressor's justification. β
"We just have a clear conscience. β
Xiui couldn't help but shake his head. It is normal that a lot of aggression is carried out in the name of righteousness. Abnormally, even the aggressor himself will believe that he is righteous in the end, which seems a little funny.
The doctrine of the Church of the Scourge is obviously good, but their methods are radical and somewhat unpopular.
I heard that there are also many factions in the Church of the Natural Disaster, some people think that the relationship with the Holy Spirit Church should be eased, instead of blindly being an enemy, which is moderate; some people think that they should be killed from Nanda 6, all the Holy Spirit Church should be cut off, and the doctrine should be spread in Peking University6, which is a radical faction; and some people even propose to find a passage to the demon world and fight back into the demon world...... Well, this is no longer radical, but should be called crazy.
It is clear that the assassination of the envoy Franck, the destruction of peace between the two countries, was a decision of the radical wing of the Church of the Scourge, and judging from the attitude of Keith with great righteousness and eloquence towards the assassination and destruction of peace, there is no doubt that he was also a member of the radical faction.
Thinking of this, Xiu Yi couldn't help but say: "Then you came here, in addition to looking for the picture of the Sunset Holy Maiden, I'm afraid there is another task, which is to assassinate Prince Franck, right?"
Keith was stunned, but he didn't expect Huey to analyze the purpose of his coming here from a few words. He smiled bitterly and said, "Richard Kleiman is guarded by a star powerhouse, and it is impossible for me to kill him." However, it is not impossible to do some sabotage and prevent them from forming a marriage. But your appearance has changed things. Compared to destroying the peace between the two countries on this big 6, magic weapons are more important. Anyway, even if they complete this marriage, it doesn't mean that they won't fight in the future. β
"Then I can help you make this marriage fail. β
The alliance between Huey and Richard Kleiman is extremely secret, and it is impossible for the Scourge Church to obtain information. In the current situation, the Franks are destined to give up Avril for the sake of Hue, and in this case, it is good to use this opportunity to increase a little bit of leverage.
"Even if you add this, Nightmare Horse is too important. β
"Then I'll add one more condition. The Nightmare Horse is mine, and you can send someone to take care of it for me. When it's time for estrus, you offer mare and nightmare horses to mate, and the cubs are yours. I just need to ride it to fight, I don't need its offspring, at least not the offspring of this cross. β
"But what if it dies on the battlefield?"
"It's too unreasonable to say that you have gained a lot without losing anything, but you don't even take the slightest risk, right?"
Keith thought for a moment and finally nodded: "Okay, I will relay your proposal to the Senate, and I believe they will give you an answer soon." β
This time, the reply came quickly.
The patriarch of the Church of the Scourge from Far South 6 personally contacted Xiuyi.
It was an old man shrouded in a thick black mist.
He was wearing a black robe, and his face loomed in the black mist, and in the black mist, only a pair of shining eyes were as dazzling as the stars in the dark night.
What shocked Xiu Yi was that when Xiu Yi saw the other party's eyes, he actually felt a kind of horror and palpitations from the depths of his heart.
You must know that this is a connection through a communication crystal, this old man is far away from him, but through a communication crystal, he has a spiritual coercion on himself.
That's something that even the stars can't do.
One thought immediately crossed Huey's mindβthe Sanctuary.
It was his first time in real contact with the Sanctuary, and thankfully, it wasn't hostile.
In the crystal ball, the old man in the black mist finally spoke: "Hello, young man from afar, I am the supreme leader of the Church of the Cataclysm, the elder Isardo Neper, and it is a pleasure to meet you. I already know that you possess three artifacts, and I must admit that you are the darling of the gods. β
"I thought the Church of the Scourge didn't have a god to worship. β
"Every church has its own gods to worship, but the gods of the Scourge Church are different from those of other churches. That is our deity...... It's real. Elder Isador Nepper said this slowly, almost causing Xiui to jump on the spot.
