Chapter 709: All nobles unite under the light? Magic is also delicious!
The Lucerne deputy referee thought over and over again, and struggled over and over again.
It is impossible to get over by yourself, unless you fight with the army, otherwise you will not be able to get over in this life. The key is, there is no use in sneaking!
With the target's character, after the operation, he could turn around and run towards Nevis, and he might be halfway there by now.
Traffic jam on the way? Sorry, the parliament's intelligence network is really not accurate to this extent.
And you want to assassinate a legendary disciple in Nevis, assassinate a sixth-level mage who has a mage tower of his own, and then escape unscathed after doing so?!
Apart from anything else, given his level, the first step into Nevis, the large magic circle on the top of Igor Peak, would probably trigger the alarm.
What method can be used to kill this guy? Who else can be sent? Or, if he spends his own savings, what kind of assassin can he hire?
Alas, when will a counterattack team be organized in the Glory Holy City and push over in a mighty wave?
In the Glory Holy City, the three giants of the Holy See, the new Pope, the Grand Inquisitor and the Head of the Holy Knights, are also worried about this problem.
These nobles all run very fast when they have a good time, so they are asked to do their best, and they push three and block four one by one!
Do you still want to get treatment?
Divine power, do you still want it?
This is especially true for some lords with ancient bloodlines or those who live in marginal areas. Their family bloodlines already have magic-like powers.
"How many nobles are involved in the summoning order?" The Pope leaned on the yew armchair, eyes half-opened and half-closed, and asked in a low voice as if talking to himself:
"Did the head of the family come in person, send an heir, or send someone unrelated?"
"The seven princes of the Rhine Kingdom, including Joseph I, have already sent people." To the left of the Pope, a young white-robed priest quickly bent down and replied in a low voice:
"The three church electors, the Archbishop of Coranna, the Archbishop of Trier, and the Archbishop of Mardin, have all arrived in person..."
"They will definitely come." The Pope snorted softly and interrupted a little impatiently:
"Tell the important point."
"Yes. Among the four secular electors, Joseph I arrived in person. King Poi sent a nephew over. The Duke of Saxony and Count Askan both said that there was great pressure to resist border intrusion, so they only sent a secretary... "
"It's a lot of pressure?! All the fighting power of the barbarians and the Black Forest side has gone to the sea! You still say it's a lot of pressure? Do they not want their share of the holy water this year?!"
The young bishop quickly bowed his head and did not dare to speak. The so-called seven princes were the seven noble families who were qualified to elect the king of the Rhine Kingdom in accordance with the ancient covenant.
Theoretically, even the Pope is not allowed to interfere with the king elected by the votes of the seven electors... One can imagine how powerful these seven noble families, especially the four secular lords, are.
Of course, among the seven electors, three church electors are theoretically appointed by the Pope; it is also a consistent method for the Glory Holy See to check and balance the king. Besides, the king must pay homage to the Glory Holy City and be crowned by the Pope before he can The emperor calls himself.
Although it would be nothing without the title of "Emperor", who doesn't want this title?
However, the secular electors were not without resistance. The population of any of the four secular electors in their territory exceeded the total of the three church electors combined.
Although these people are located on the border and the economy in their territory is relatively difficult, when they don't want to give the Holy See face, the Holy See really can't force it every time...
The head of the family did not come in person or send an heir. He has already made his attitude clear: We are willing to respect you as the master in terms of etiquette, and we are also willing to contribute to the army. However, if you want to put your own effort into it, don't talk about it.
The Pope snorted coldly. The golden lion of the Saxon family has only one daughter. She must get married and give birth, and she absolutely needs a healer to look after her;
As for the Border Earl "White Wolf" William, a level 15 Sky Knight, he is almost 100 years old. If he wants to continue his life, it will definitely not be enough to rely on the few spellcasters at home!
It’s time for you to seek help from the Holy See!
The new pope did not have a seizure, but silently recorded this account in his mind. He then asked:
“What about the Carolingian Kingdom?”
"The king is young and has not traveled long distances. The queen mother has come in person and is contacting several nobles in the Rhine Kingdom. It seems that she wants to choose a queen for her son."
The young bishop answered fluently:
"Among the 12 great noble families, the Duke of the Netherlands, the Duke of Ardennes and the Grand Duchess of Alva only sent their stewards. The Duke of Upper Lorraine, the Duke of Lower Lorraine, the Count of Anjou and the Count of Prome sent their heirs.
Duke Rollo and Duke Medicena are here in person..."
The voice became lower and lower. On the yew wood throne, the Pope closed his eyes slightly and breathed softly, seeming to have fallen asleep.
These nobles are on a pilgrimage to the Glorious Holy City. Naturally, they cannot just go into the church, kneel down, and then close their doors after the service. In fact, before the Pope personally summons them, there must be a large number of banquets, drinking parties, dances, and even private rooms.
Interview:
"How is the Kingdom of Boi? How many troops and ships can it send to join the crusade?"
"The pressure is really great this year." Count Renner, the nephew of the King of Boi, spread his hands and smiled bitterly:
"The heretic country in the east has gone crazy for some reason and is attacking very fiercely. The kingdom's army has already attacked half of them and is asking the Holy See for support!"
"How many people can the Count of Anjou produce?"
"Three 500-ton ships, 1,500 people, no problem! There are at least 50 knights among them!"
[To be honest, I have been reading books recently to catch up on updates, switch sources, read aloud with many sounds, and it is available on both Android and Apple.]
"What's wrong with the Duke of the Netherlands? He's only willing to send out five boats? You are known as the coachmen of the sea. What's the use of so few boats?"
"Ahem... I have been unlucky during this period. I lost two ocean-going fleets, and the new ships have not been launched yet. Besides, the two second-class ships lost in the last war have not been replaced yet. You also
You know, it’s not easy to build a big ship like that..."
"When will it be completed?"
"Next year, at least next year..."
The cardinals who had been authorized by the Pope shuttled among the many nobles, visiting and asking questions one by one. The data they got after walking all over was very unoptimistic:
Compared with the war five years ago when the Holy See gathered to support the king of the Kingdom of Kent, the number of ships that could be gathered this time was only two-thirds of the last time.
Taking into account the church's recently lost fleet, the power it can draw out becomes very ugly.
At the same time, the nobles gathered in the Glory Holy City were also chatting and chatting in private. In the darkroom, there were many conversations like this:
"Did you buy that pain relief seal?"
"No, I only bought the scroll...it's really useful..."
"Treatment? There aren't many priests to begin with, and every one has their nostrils turned upward, and they have to give gifts. If you ask me, the thing called 'penicillin' is more useful..."
"Have you ever tried a steam engine? Not to mention, it's really a good hand for dragging ore from the mine..."
