My Liver Experience in the World of Cthulhu
Chapter 427: Agreement reached
In the living room of Moya Castle, Crown glanced at the gift list presented by Figo and let out a subtle sigh.
Last time, he took out many gifts and went to St. Peter's Cathedral to seek advanced secrets, but he couldn't get them. Now it seems to be reincarnation.
He handed the gift list to the butler behind him and said with a smile:
"Your Highness the Prince is too polite. Please say hello to His Majesty for me when you return.
The city of Hamers, which His Highness has never visited in person, can just guide our work. "
In the current situation, the other party must be asking for something when they meet and give gifts. He is not in a hurry to ask, and waits for the other party to speak first.
Lexis shook her head and said with a smile:
"I don't dare to take it seriously. With a strong man like the bishop sitting in charge, there is no need for me to point fingers."
After a round of business exchanges, he explained his purpose:
"Bishop, there is news from His Majesty Antony of the Church of the God of Knowledge that Dagon, a descendant of the evil god Crusu, has attacked the city of Dunkirk.
Now that the city has fallen, the entire western part of the Kingdom of Ribia has been lost, and a large number of evil minions have gone upstream and have entered the territory of our kingdom.
As the kingdom's first line of defense, the current situation in Portosua City is relatively dangerous.
No one knows whether Dagon will take the city of Podosuva as his next target.
If our defense line is lost, half of the southern part of the kingdom will fall into the hands of the fishmen. "
He tried to exaggerate the danger of the matter to add emotional leverage to his subsequent request.
Kroun raised his eyebrows and asked immediately:
"The fall of Dunkirk, when did it happen?"
He knew the map of the continent well. The three kingdoms of Faruk, Ribia, and Hinterland were in the west of the continent, and part of the Talon Kingdom was also located here.
After the drastic change in the Hinterlands, it will inevitably trigger a chain reaction, and now it affects Ribia.
Without the barrier of the Kingdom of Rybia, Farooq would have to face the front of the fishmen troops, and this situation would happen faster than he expected.
His initial estimate was that the Kingdom of Rubia could hold on for two months, and then he would fully integrate the power of the domain. Even if he had not advanced to Stigmata Gold, he should have half-stepped into the divine level.
At that time, he would have enough strength to turn the tide.
Now Rebia was defeated even after half a month of holding on, completely disrupting his plan.
Figo took out Anthony's letter and handed it over and said:
"It happened seven days ago. Dagon attacked at night and also buried one-third of the high-level elites of the Kingdom of Rybia.
Now the Church of the God of Knowledge has completely retreated to the eastern mountainous area, leaving this mess to us.
Initial intelligence suggested that Dagon would only appear on red moon nights, but it is now certain that he is completely free.
We can't be sure where his next target will be, but we can't leave it to chance. "
The butler stepped forward and took the letter and handed it to Crown. He read it quickly and fell silent.
The map of the continent appeared in his mind, analyzing the fishman's next move.
Following the Tyne upstream from Dunkirk, the enemy would pass through the western Ribia and then follow the river's divergent course.
One part continued eastward into the Kingdom of Talon, and the other part continued northward to reach the territory of Faruk.
The most urgent thing now is to assess the intensity of the war faced by the kingdom's Portosua City, because as the fishmen occupy more land, the attacking forces are bound to be diluted.
The enemy forces facing the kingdom's front line should be smaller than those faced by Rebia.
In addition, he had to guard against Dagon, the evil god's dependents who were close to the level of gods. He was not sure of victory.
After returning the letter, Crown asked:
"What is the Holy See's plan? What level can the defense of Portosua City reach?"
Now that Nick and others are still on the front line, he cannot leave those Silver Dawn warriors who have been training for a long time alone.
Lexis coughed and said:
“The front line must be held fast, otherwise the southern border of the kingdom will be surrendered to others.
The southern border is our main food-producing area. If it falls, the central and northern parts will be affected.
We have made corresponding preparations for this situation a long time ago. Now the shelter magic circle in Portosuva City has been transformed and can defend against attacks at the sixth level. However, the energy reserve of the magic circle is still too little. If it suffers from a long-term High-intensity attacks also carry the risk of being breached.
Western Rybia collapsed too quickly, leaving us with too little time.
Your Majesty means that it would be best if the bishop could sit on the front line for a period of time.
If the bishop is willing to go, the Holy See will prepare a sum of resources for you to build the Moya Castle. In addition, the Moya family will be consecrated as a hereditary duke. The fiefdom is today's Hamers Diocese and all the areas west of the Rhine City. "
The painted cake is quite big, but the actual benefits are not many. Crown's eyes were lowered. He owns a certain proportion of Hamers Parish. The west of Rhine City is now a paradise for monsters and evil spirits. Going further west, Let’s go, it’s the Andes Mountains.
Hereditary Duke, but the land must be taken by himself. The so-called canonization, the Saxon family only talked about it.
Crown took out a rune crystal bottle from the space ring and handed it to Lord behind him:
"Show it to His Highness the Prince."
The bottle contained the flesh and blood of the Evil God's Familia whom he wounded in the sea near Lorent. For extraordinary creatures of the sixth level, their flesh and blood could remain active for at least several months.
The butler held the crystal bottle in both hands and presented it to Lexis.
The prince took the items and frowned unconsciously.
Black mist rose from the bottle. Although there was no law of escape, he felt a sense of uncleanness after seeing the bottle.
He saw that the bottle's seal was the church's method of sealing contaminants, so he skillfully opened the seal.
As the seal opened, Lexis felt the blood in his body slowly turn cold, reminding him of the scene when he walked out of a warm room into a world of ice and snow when he was a child before he became a transcendent.
At the same time, he felt whispers ringing in his ears, and a bewitching voice kept reminding him:
‘Swallow this piece of meat, and you will immediately become a fifth-level transcendent. From now on, you will be the king of this kingdom, and you will be the pope of the Flame Lord Church.
Arthur is only a few years older than you, so why can he take away the glory that originally belongs to you? ’
The silver ring on his left hand suddenly turned red. Lexis felt burning and woke up suddenly. He found that his whole body was soaked with sweat.
Quickly sealing the crystal bottle again, he looked around and found that both Figo and the housekeeper were slumped on their chairs and unconscious.
‘What does Crown want to do? Do you want to attack me? Why? ’
He turned to look at the instigator of Old God's ease, and said in a difficult voice:
"Bishop, your joke is too big."
"I'm not kidding, I want you to experience the situation facing the north of the kingdom.
This is the Evil God Familiar that haunts Lorent Town. I injured it, but it escaped.
In the Andes mountains, cultists are hiding in the dark and watching us covetously. Rhine City was attacked by the sixth-level evil god's dependents.
Only by experiencing it yourself will you know that the situation here is also not optimistic. "
Crown released the Moon Spirit Shield to purify the escaped pollution laws, and then said:
"If I could go to the front line and sit on the front line for a few days, I would be willing to go, but I'm afraid I won't be able to stay there for a long time."
Lexis was silent. He once doubted the authenticity of the battle report submitted by Rhine City, but now most of his doubts are gone.
“If the bishop cannot escape, we would like to ask you to build the Moon Soul Spiritual Light Array in Portosua.
Last night I deeply felt the mystery of the magic circle. If we can build the magic circle on the front line, we will definitely be able to hold on. "
After personally feeling the power of facing the enemy, he calmed down the original small thoughts in his heart.
The power of law escaping from a sixth-level creature can affect him, which shows how strong the other party is.
After returning to the Holy See, he must carefully report today's intelligence and ensure that his brother does not anger the other party when making decisions.
He had always known that high-level extraordinary beings could crush low-level extraordinary beings, but after truly experiencing this feeling, he realized that the gap was even greater than he had imagined.
In other words, if the enemy at the sixth level stands there for him to attack, whether he can break the enemy's defense or not is a matter of debate. Even if he doesn't attack the enemy himself, he is no longer himself.
Crown frowned and said:
"It will take a month and a half to build the magic circle at the fastest. I don't have enough materials in hand right now."
"What materials are needed? I'll see if the kingdom's secret treasury and the Vatican's secret treasury can come up with some."
Crown shook his head helplessly: "The supply of magic circle materials has become sufficient, but it will take about three months of strengthening before it can be used. This time cannot be accelerated."
A month and a half later, he was able to obtain two materials for the Moon Soul Spiritual Light Formation and a material for the Sun and Moon Altar. He originally planned to use them all in Lorent Town to stabilize the defense line there, but now it seems that they can only be dismantled in Porto Suva City. one.
He looked up at Lexis and asked solemnly:
"Please give me an explanation. Is there any problem if Bodosuwa sticks to it for a month and a half?"
If it was determined that he could not hold on, he would withdraw Nick, Melissa and others in advance. His private soldiers could not be wasted on meaningless things. He would also use these people as the backbone to form the Silver Dawn Army.
The prince was silent for a moment, gritted his teeth and said:
"If we don't care about the cost, can we hold Portosua for a month?"
"Can you defend it even if Dagon appears?"
"Yes," Lexis nodded solemnly, "The Holy See uses the high-quality crystal cores in reserve as backup energy, which can completely maintain the defense of the protection circle at the sixth level."
His heart was bleeding, and he sighed and said again:
"In this way, these spare crystal cores will be completely scrapped. Therefore, the bishop must build the Moon Soul Spiritual Light Array within the specified time, otherwise all our efforts will be in vain."
A smile appeared on Crown's face:
"No problem, I promise to build the magic circle within one and a half months. For me, as long as the materials are ready, building the magic circle is very simple.
As long as you can afford the price, it is not impossible to build a few more magic circles in the future. "
Now that we have a new supply channel, we will be able to harvest materials from Yuepo Lingguang Town every half month.
Time is also on his side. One day when the evil god comes, he will have to face cities shining with holy light.
Let’s get down to business. Lexis sat up straight and asked:
"What do we need to pay to build a Moon Soul Spiritual Light Array?"
Crown felt annoyed. Flanders once said in public that building the magic circle required 20,000 gold spirit coins, so he couldn't raise the price much. After all, if Faruk could settle down, he would also get more time to develop.
He thought for a while and replied:
"I need 20,000 gold spiritual coins to build a Moon Spiritual Light Array in the Rhine City Diocese to serve the church, so there will be no additional charges.
However, I ask the church to only provide part of the gold spirit coins, and the rest will be settled in materials. "
The actual situation in Moya Castle does not require too many gold spirit coins, but various rare materials require as much reserve as possible.
If Elisa and others want to grow quickly, they must keep up with various supporting potions, so that they can be combined with the golden light spell to increase their strength faster.
Janice practices the secret methods of the church. He has browsed various secret methods of the church, and they are all stored in the database of the Golden Wall. With the corresponding materials, he can plan a faster growth route for it.
"No problem. Make a list of what resources the bishop needs and we will discuss it. However, we cannot provide the special resources of other churches."
The more precious cores of the magic circle have been wasted, and Lexis doesn't care about these resources anymore. Besides, we can still negotiate!
"No problem, I'll check which resources are more needed.
Don’t worry, the resources listed in my list are produced within the church’s jurisdiction. "
Lexis pointed at Figo and asked:
"What's going on with them? I need Figo to help me with this."
Crown smiled:
"They just fell asleep. I sealed their consciousness and isolated the law of pollution that had just escaped from the flesh and blood of the Evil God's Familia. They would wake up in an hour or two.
I sent someone to take Bishop Figo back to the guest room, and we will talk again in the evening. "
"OK."
Two days later, Lexis left in an airship.
He stared at the smaller and smaller buildings on the ground and let out a sigh of relief.
All in all, things went smoothly, and Crown was not as demanding as the lion.
He felt more like he had signed a business contract, providing his own money and resources to purchase the other party's products and services.
Obviously, this was done deliberately by the other party. From this point, we can also see Croun's attitude, that is:
‘If you want me to do something, you can, as long as you are willing to pay the price.
If you want me to work for nothing, no way! ’
It is simply impossible to get benefits without paying the price. The other party has the strength to say no to any power.
Lexis nodded secretly in her heart, that's fine. The two parties only have a purely transactional relationship. If they abide by the rules set by the other party, there will be no friction.
As long as we can maintain the stability of the kingdom and persist until the ancestral kingdom comes, let the gods handle the headaches!
Now, staying safe is victory.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but think of other churches trying to obtain the formula of Croun's potion, and he couldn't help but laugh:
"Hey, having you here shows that our family is getting along very well.
Well, not bad, come on, I hope you will go overboard when the time comes! "
