Chapter 52 Military Expenses
Daliang returned to his church, and at this time the enchantist hired by Tokugawa Nobunaga had already begun to enchant the exterior walls of the church.
All these enchantists are residents of the fog area hired by Daliang Alchemy Store, and all the enchantments are provided by Daliang Alchemy Store. The prepared alchemy potions are put into glass bottles. The enchantists use solidified magic to carve the magic array on the wall, and then carefully fill the various alchemy potions into the magic circuit, and finally use iron chromium to seal the magic array.
Iron chromium is also an alchemy material. Although its magical properties are not as good as those of pure gold and serpent silver, it is cheaper and strong. It can also protect the magic array inside when assisting in transmitting magic energy.
After the enchantment this time, it can greatly improve the church's defense ability. If the demon-ban device is installed...
The enchantment of the church just began, and Daliang was already thinking about the next step to make it harder.
Under the leadership of the priest, Daliang entered the church and met Will, the leader of the Knights of the Holy See, and a coffin he brought.
The material used in this coffin is very thick, black all over, one meter high, two meters long, and one and a half meters wide. It is hard to see the material of wood, but although the style is ordinary, the workmanship is very sophisticated.
Will stood tightly beside the coffin. When he saw Daliang, he took out a letter and said, "I will hand this coffin and a monarch's handwritten letter to the Mist District Bones Pope on the order of the monstrates."
Daliang took the letter and looked at the seal on it, then asked, "Why did the monarch of the regiment Will give me a coffin?"
Will said, "The monarch did not say it, and I did not ask or read it. As for why the monarch gave the monarch this coffin to the Pope, I think he should write it in the letter."
Seeing that there was nothing from Will, Daliang took out his Pope's badge and pressed it on the seal of the letter. The seal was unbuttoned, Daliang pulled out the letter from it and looked at it.
At first, of course, I was saddened by the monarch's words of encouragement to Daliang, and then I turned to the topic.
"You know I caught a wizard from the Wizard Guild. Although I didn't ask for important information from him, I can be sure that he should have a good position in the Wizard Guild and will know some research on becoming a god in the Wizard Guild.
The research of the Wizard Guild will definitely be of great help to us.
But this wizard's identity is very sensitive and is not suitable for being detained in a cathedral or other place. The only place in the world that can reassure me is the first Protestant church.
His power has been forbidden by me, and you are responsible for interrogating him. Perhaps your human methods can bring me more useful information.
…”
Anthony!
This coffin contains Anthony!
The sad monarch couldn't ask anything from Anthony, so he sent him to the Mist District Church, and asked Daliang to be responsible for the interrogation.
This is very embarrassing.
Daliang used his magic to fire the letter in front of Will, then walked to the coffin and walked around to see if it had any signs of being opened.
Seeing Daliang's concern, Will said, "I received the coffin from the monarch and sent it immediately. No one had opened it along the way, and the coffin was also sealed by the monarch. Except for you, anyone who forcibly opened it will know."
If no one has opened it, it means no one knows what it is inside. It will be easier to deal with things. It is concealed by Johnson and other wizards to bury this coffin in the ground. At that time, as long as the monarch is sad, no one will know where Anthony is.
As for interrogation?
The monarch can’t even ask anything, so why can I ask it!
Therefore, Daliang had no idea of opening this coffin. He didn't know whether Anthony's power inside was sober, even if he covered his appearance, Daliang could not be sure whether Anthony would recognize him from the details. After all, the undead was very sensitive to the breath of other creatures.
After thinking it through, Daliang smiled and said, "I have received the stuff. Please ask the leader of the regiment to reply to the monarch. I am very grateful for the monarch's trust in me. I will definitely not let down the monarch's trust."
The coffin has been delivered, Will, who has completed his duties, walked away from the coffin, and then said to Daliang: "The mercenaries sent to the Shuntong Chamber of Commerce in the City of Sigh have begun to bring benefits to the monarch. The monarch is very happy. This money provides funds for many things the monarch wants to do, and also gives the Holy See more military expenses to recruit more Holy See knights and soldiers.
As the head of the Knights of the Holy See, I would like to express my gratitude to the Bones Pope.”
Daliang replied: "As the Pope of the Immortal Church and a senior knight of the Knights of the Vatican, I have an obligation to share the worries of the monarch and the leader.
If the adults feel that the military expenditure of the Holy See’s Knights is insufficient, I can make free donations to our Knights.
Please do not refuse, sir, I can see the monarch's concerns about the future. Shuntong Chamber of Commerce can easily hire the army of Sigh City. The main reason should be that the monarch is accumulating strength in preparation for a possible war.
I don’t know who could threaten the City of Sighs and make the undead who are content with cultivation begin to become nervous, but this city is also my city. The safer it is, the safer it is.
The Knights of the Holy See are the most powerful army in the City of Sighs. You need money to become stronger so that you can crush all our enemies."
Daliang's words reached Will's heart.
Although the foreign mercenaries brought millions of gold per week to the City of Sigh, once the preparation mode was activated, the sad monarch realized that he was really using money everywhere. The diversion of funds and the faction's division of limited military expenditures made the Knights of the Holy See less funds allocated to him.
Therefore, when it comes to military expenses, Will was very angry.
"Originally, the monarch intended to distribute 500,000 yuan a week from the funds earned by this group of mercenaries to our Knights of the Holy See for the formation of a new army.
However, Speaker Yargu actually led the bishops to interfere with the monarch's distribution of military expenditure, and 500,000 yuan was separated by them by 300,000 yuan.
This is the money earned by the monarch, so why should the parliament share it?"
The City of Sigh is composed of 13 urban areas, each of which belongs to an independent parish with an Unsullied Church. In the center of the City of Sigh is an Unsullied Cathedral, which is a church directly under the sorrowful monarch.
The sorrowful monarch ruled the entire city through the cathedral and church.
But like a country, although the supreme ruler has the power of life and death over his subordinates, his rights are also subject to checks and balances by his subordinates.
Thirteen bishops formed the Unscrupulous Holy See Council of the City of Sighs, who assisted the Sorrowful Monarch in managing his ruling area, and the Council also had the ability to influence the Sorrowful Monarch's decisions.
Now, due to the lack of bishops in the fog area, there are now 12 members of the Holy See, and the Bishop of the Shadow Area Church, Algu, serves as the Speaker of the Parliament.
