It's not that difficult to open a hospital in another world, right? Chapter 1394 The Holy See: Let’s find that new ore! (Monthly ticket adds 12 updates)
Chapter 1394 The Holy See: Let’s find that new ore! (Monthly ticket adds 12 updates)
When it came to testing chromosomes, Oak Stick made a fuss and refused in every possible way, but after trying it once, he didn’t resist much anymore——
Indeed, as Grete said, it doesn't hurt to peel off a strip of the inner bark of a tree.
Moreover, after digging it out, he repeatedly releases various spells according to Gretel's instructions, and Gretel will also give him natural power as additional compensation. If he doesn't lose, he still makes a profit, what's wrong with it?
The only strange thing is that he casts the spell himself, detects his own chromosomes, and is responsible for the calculation...
Grete muttered, as if he was saying "self-X, self-X" or something like that. The oak stick pricked up his ears but he didn't hear it clearly. However, it was not a good word anyway, so he just picked up the branch and slapped him!
All the oak staffs agreed, and there were no other ancient trees that refused. Grete carried the oak staff, the mobile tower and the microscope, and visited ancient trees one by one from the North Island to the South Island.
.
First let out your natural aura to communicate, then make it clear what your purpose is, and then agree to give natural power as a reward. All three attacks will be detrimental~~~
Anyway, even the World Tree didn't reject him, so which ancient tree would reject him?
Studying chromosomes and studying the relationship between chromosomes and extraordinary powers is not a job that happens overnight, nor is supplementing the foundation of spells and training in spells.
Gretel was quite comfortable staying on Everjum Island, and he was not in a hurry. He took his time to visit and study an ancient tree one day at a time, and one at a time in two or three days;
The necromancers took the council's budget, together with the elders of the Nature Order and the elf legends, slowly researched and conducted experiments, and they were not too anxious. The time was getting longer, and it was just time to do some private work;
The queen was a little anxious, but after making the decision to "not invite the necromancers to the island for the time being", she couldn't keep urging her. Anyway, the eldest prince has been sealed for two hundred years, and to be honest, it's not less than a year or two.
Year……
No one is in a hurry, but the Glorious Holy See is. Since the Golden Fleet was robbed, the power of the Glorious Holy See overseas has become weaker and weaker:
He wanted to expand his power in the New World, but was eventually pushed back. Not only was he pushed back, but the Eagle Kingdom, which was about to reach its mouth, also broke free, and also lost a lot of power, so he had to transfer Legend to take over;
He sent a batch of gold and silver in a good way, but was robbed in the end. Not only was he robbed, but he also lost an 18th-level heavenly knight, who was left alive and dead;
He wanted to swallow up the remaining power of the Kingdom of the Sun, but was finally beaten back. Not only was he beaten back, but he also lost two legends! Two!
The four surrounding governor-general districts urgently dispatched manpower and sent legends to support them, but they were still beaten to the point of fire on all sides and smoke on all sides. There were many rebellions in the governor-general district, and people kept turning to the false sun god.
In the end, we could only shrink our strength to the maximum and concentrate all combat power on the Governor-General's Office and Silver Mountain, the two most important places.
For other areas, let the adventurers and the immigrants from the Old World who have taken root here come and run. The Holy See doesn't care how much you can earn and how long you can carry it!
Even with such a contraction, the Glorious Holy See has felt the pain. Especially in the recent period, the loss of business tax has been very severe:
"What, high-quality wool, 15 gold coins per pack!" In the exchange, the captain of the Sea Rose looked shocked:
"I only heard when I left Port of Fairou that the price here is 25 gold coins!"
"The 25 gold coins were from last week." The trader at the counter rolled his eyelids lazily:
"Last week, the market was full of goods... Let me see, there are three ships of wool, totaling 12,000 bales. With so much wool thrown out, the price of wool will definitely drop!"
"..."
"Sell or not?"
"What?"
"Sell or not? If not, get out of the way and don't block the road! Next one!!!"
"Forget it, no more selling!" The captain turned around and left. He resupplied, sailed, and sailed to the port of Metila, which was two days away:
"What! It's only 16 gold coins! It's only one gold coin short. I can't even make back the cost of this trip!"
Not to mention, after selling the wool at the last port, you can also buy some more and take it to the next port for shipment. Every time you go in and out, you lose more than a few hundred gold coins!
"Damn it, who is so well-informed and rushing to ship the goods!"
From the Brolin Kingdom to the Rhine Kingdom, from the Rhine Kingdom to the Glorious Holy City, more than one shipowner, shipowner, and businessman pounded the table in annoyance.
Those who run offshore sell wool, iron ore, wine, and glassware. If you lose a little, you will lose a little, and it won't hurt your muscles and bones;
For those who travel to the sea, it takes at least half a year to go back and forth from the New World to the Old World. If you go to the wrong port and the price is not sold for the expected price, you will lose half of it in one wave!
Merchants can't make money, so the nobles receive less taxes. If the nobles receive less taxes, the jingling gold coins that fall into the pockets of the king and the archbishops will naturally not be much more.
At the end of the year and the beginning of the year, Glory Holy City checked this year's income...
"Why is one-third missing?! Go check and find out what happened?!"
There were too many things that happened. The Kingdom of Brolin fought a war and cut off two territories: the rebels in the Netherlands declared independence and refused to pay tithes to the Glorious Holy See at all;
The Capetian Kingdom declared its independence, and although it nominally respected the Holy See, its taxes and donations were all reduced by at least half compared to before;
And several border lords with real power in the Kingdom of Rhine, such as the "Golden Lion" Duke of Saxony, and the "White Wolf" Count Askan, also tried their best to withhold donations...
Look for the reasons, they are always there! The great famine in the past few years has not yet recovered; the Dutch are still fighting and harassing; the barbarians are going south again to rob...
In this case, the income from the Old World has only shrunk by one-third, and he is already considered the king of the Kingdom of Brolin and the Kingdom of Rhine, very pious and very loyal to the Holy See.
And the income from the New World is not much better. The governorate of the Storm Islands has been plagued by plagues one after another. The strength of the governorate of Pelleux has been greatly reduced, and merchant ships plying the sea are constantly being robbed:
"Five of their ships are beating one of us! Five of them are beating one of us!" The armed merchant ship from the Storm Islands Governorate bravely rushed out, rowed to the shore with planks in hand, and escaped from the land. The captain had blood on his face.
Crying:
"The soldiers are very brave, and the knights are not stingy with their fighting skills, but no one can survive five against one! And it is five against one that suddenly appears after encountering a storm!"
"We were ambushed! Five ships, hundreds of miles apart and completely invisible, suddenly appeared when they were crossing the water channel! They got stuck in front and back, that's it!"
This situation has not happened once or twice. The Holy See of Glory has investigated and hanged a lot of suspected spies, but the situation has not improved in any way.
To make matters worse, the Magic Council has developed stronger attack methods...
"boom!"
"boom!"
"boom!!!"
"We need to call back more legends to maintain pressure on the Kingdom of Kent." At another meeting, the chief referee said slowly with a dark face:
"If we don't maintain our pressure and dominant position locally, no matter how many benefits we get overseas or in another space, it will be useless. To maintain the supply of faith power, and to maintain the awe of the nobles towards us, we must be the most powerful one!
"
"Maintaining our strength cannot be achieved by just shouting. This requires strong financial support."
The first cardinal on the Pope's left, holding a thick holy book, immediately spoke out in opposition:
"Cultivating bishops requires money, and cultivating paladins requires a large amount of medicine and high-grade meat. To appease the people and to shepherd the Lord's lamb, there must be a steady stream of income.
Now that we are shrinking the power overseas and in other dimensions, the Holy See’s finances will soon have big problems!”
"After all, our problem is that there are too few legends." The leader of the Holy Knights said solemnly:
"The latest powerful attack that has just appeared, the Paladin who has just entered the legend, can't catch it, run away, and can't run away. Can the Inquisition, or the Dervish Order, analyze it, or find a way to resist it?"
As soon as he asked the question, everything was silent. The Pope subconsciously tightened the long staff in his hand. On the top of the staff, the dove egg-sized sapphire emitted a glimmer of light, and cast his gaze towards the chief referee:
The ascetic monks don't need to think about it. They can't analyze that new attack just from the perspective of divine magic.
The only choice is to look at the Inquisition. The Inquisition has taken in many black magicians who defected and surrendered after being caught. They may be able to do something...
"Ahem, the difficulty of this new spell is at the legendary or quasi-legendary level. So far, we haven't found a way to analyze it."
The chief referee was a little embarrassed by the sight. He coughed and said bravely:
"But now there is a clue. According to the papers published by the heretics and the information we have obtained, this new spell requires a special kind of ore——"
"What ore?"
Several voices asked at the same time. The chief referee calmed down:
"Its properties are very special and very difficult to describe. We have compared all the ores we can find, and so far, we have only found one with similar properties, and the origin has not been confirmed..."
"Then keep looking! What else do you need? Money? Indulgences? Titles? The Inquisition has all these resources, right? Is there anything else that the Holy See needs to provide? - In short, I just want the result!"
The Pope answered without hesitation. The Grand Inquisitor lowered his head and pondered:
"There is only one question - what should we do if the origin of this ore is not within our control?"
"The light of the Lord shines on all things." The Pope answered without thinking. He paused and slowed down his voice:
"No matter what, let's start with the areas we can actually control. If it is really necessary and it can bring glory to the majesty of the Lord, we can do it at any cost!"
