Chapter 48 Natural Disaster
"So he rejected you?" Barkler began to mock Xiuyi.
Who told him to imagine that Raschel would follow him?
"I refused very firmly." Xiuyi also smiled: "Rashel is an imperial loyal dog. It is not easy to ask him to change this loyalty. Even before that, the Lance Empire had abandoned him."
"What a pity, you must know that Raschel is indeed a talent." Christine kneaded Xiuyi's shoulders behind her. For Christine, the encounter in the Royal Garden not only almost defeated Xiuyi, but Christine herself also encountered a great crisis. If Prince Richard had not proved Xiuyi's "innocence" in the end, she could only choose to escape with Xiuyi.
Compared with Xiuyi, what she lost will be all her family business.
"Since that's the case, why not kill him?" Chaklay asked.
Chaklay had a lot of hatred for Rasher.
If this old fox hadn't forced himself to do his job for him, he wouldn't have become one of the wanted criminals of the Empire, just like Xiu Yi. Of course, as far as the current situation is concerned, the Empire did not care much about the capture of Chaklay. The problem is that from then on, he will be inseparable from the enjoyable life.
"I still want to give it a try." Xiuyi replied.
"I still want to try it?" Everyone asked in surprise.
Xiuyi nodded with certainty: "Rashel is a proud and arrogant person. He would never give up so easily. Don't look at him acting very cooperatively today, in fact, he has other plans."
Rasher is an old fox, and Xiu Yi is also a little fox. Both of them have a considerable understanding of human nature.
As said, the one who knows you best is your enemy. Although Rasher is a person who knows Xiuyi, does Xiuyi also understand the other person?
The old and the young man tried each other, lie, and secretly calculated while in contact with each other, and each had their own scheming.
At this moment, Shuyi said: "Rashel told me that he was going back to Shenzhen and Hong Kong. It was a lie. All his cooperation was just an illusion. He was loyal to the empire, but he was also angry at the empire abandonment. People like Rashel will not easily admit failure. Chaklay, he was not what you told you, the agent's pursuit of prisoners is a failure as long as he did not catch a prisoner in a day, but no matter how many times he failed, is the agent who won the final victory?"
Chaklay nodded.
"That is to say, Raschel is the kind of person who can fail a hundred times and catch the last victory. In his heart, I am still a criminal, at least in name. This is enough, so he will not give up on his duties, that is, catch me."
"But he is no longer an agent of the Legal Affairs Office, and there is no resource to call."
"So the only thing he can do... is to expose Siser Dardanell's identity and expose all conspiracies to the world. In this way, he not only revenges on the empire, but also perfectly proves that he is the best agent." Xiuyi smiled: "I don't know how he will do this, but whether he succeeds or fails, his ending is destined."
Looking at everyone, Soui said, "This is my last chance to give Rasher. I hope to get this person and let him serve me. I know you have different ideas, but this time, I stick to my decision."
Raschel's matter was settled.
Since Rasher could no longer pose any threat to Xiuyi in a short period of time, Xiuyi focused all his energy on the production of the alchemy factory.
According to Xiu Yi's plan, the alchemy factory is mainly responsible for the production of stone statue puppets and puppet warriors. This is mainly because the Vajra puppets, such as the Vajra puppet, has requirements for shape-shaping. At present, only Xiu Yi can do it himself, and it doesn't make sense even if it is handed over to the alchemy factory to do it. Although the Vajra puppets are much lower, the price is cheap and the resource requirements are low, and it is slightly stronger than the puppet warriors produced on Purgatory Island.
As for the puppet warriors, they were prepared to deliver the Franck Empire. For Shuyi, this product has been completely eliminated in his eyes.
The day after meeting with Rasher, the news came from Keith of the Scourge Church. After nearly a month of fierce debate, the Scourge Church finally made a decision.
In the crystal ball image.
Xiuyi and Kiss talk.
Xiuyi said: "So the Scourge Church only plans to make the first two transactions?"
"Yes, that's what the elders mean." Keith nodded.
The half-month study of the Natural Scourge Church is not in vain.
The three transactions that Shuyi proposed to Kiss were exchanged for alchemy for the imitation of the Spirit-Devouring Ring, the imitation of the Dark Blade for the spells recorded in the Book of Darkness, the news of the Brilliant Sword and the imitation for the Nightmare Horse.
After some research and discussion, the elders of the Scourge Church quickly realized that the first two transactions were absolutely feasible. Although alchemy for imitating artifacts is rare, it has its own limitations, which means that they must have a magical tool in their hands to imitate. In other words, even if Xiu Yi violated his promise and spread the alchemy, it may not have much impact on the Scourge Church. Moreover, the materials required for imitating artifacts are mainly produced in the Southern Continent, and even if the other two churches obtain this alchemy, they may not be able to play a big role.
Considering that Xiu Yi himself is a soul wizard and cannot become a friend of the Holy Spirit Church, the Scourge Church 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 is even simpler.
Dark spells are not mysterious spells themselves. Practicing magic requires talent, not secrets. Although the book of Darkness records some rare, or even lost dark magic, the lost ones do not mean the best. On the contrary, many magics are often lost because they are not practical enough. What can be passed down can stand the test. Of course, there are also a few magics that are quite good, but they are too difficult to master, so they are lost. But no matter what, the practice method of magic itself is not too rare in this continent, and only talents themselves are the most precious.
So the second transaction is also completely feasible.
The biggest problem is the third transaction, and Xiuyi proposed to ask for a nightmare horse.
For the Natural Disaster Church, it is not difficult to kill a level 1 monster. No matter how powerful the monster is, it is not an opponent of humans who are good at organizing. Even if the demon dragon Rita, who is beyond the level 12, wants to run into the human world to make trouble, it will be guaranteed to be arrogant for a few days and be killed by hundreds of magicians. However, it is not easy to capture and tame a high-level monster.
The Natural Disaster Church spent countless manpower and material resources to catch these two nightmare horses, and after twenty years of training, it gradually tamed them, and their value was even less than that of the existence of magic weapons.
Xiuyi wanted to exchange news about the Sword of Glory for Nightmare, but the gang of elders of the Scourge Church were not fools. Although Xiuyi did not name the Sword of Glory, they also guessed some of the contents. It is very likely that Xiuyi had obtained a magical artifact from the Holy Spirit Church.
The reason for this speculation is that Xiuyi proposed to replace real artifacts with imitations to increase the appeal of the Scourge Church. The elders could easily associate it with the Holy Spirit Church whether it was the Holy Spirit Church who lost a magical artifact and replaced it with imitations to ensure the glory of the church. This artifact fell into Xiuyi's hands, so Xiuyi made such an exchange of opinions. Otherwise Xiuyi Glair would not have thought of this cooperation proposal that benefits the greatest benefit to him but that the Scourge Church could not refuse within a few seconds.
This is completely possible.
This guess was definitely arousing the elders, but it also made them lose interest in trading because of this guess.
This is not because they don’t want to attack their opponents, but because the price they have to pay is too huge. For the God of Scourge Church, the two things that get a magic weapon and the opponent lose a magic weapon are actually two completely different concepts. Getting a magic weapon is to increase one's own strength. If the opponent loses a magic weapon, it only weakens the opponent's strength. Although the Holy Spirit Church is a mortal enemy of the God of Scourge Church, it is not the only enemy. In the mind of the God of Scourge Church, there is also a more terrifying strong enemy, which is a creature in the demon world in another plane. Therefore, weakening the opponent may make oneself more psychologically satisfied, but from the actual effect, it is actually far less meaningful than improving one's own strength.
After repeated discussions, the Scourge Church believes that it is a good thing to use the Holy Spirit Church to lose its magical artifacts to deal with it, but it is not too urgent. After all, once the Scourge Church claims to have the four magical artifacts of chaos, it is a major blow to the Holy Spirit Church. On this basis, it is obviously not a wise choice to attack non-main enemies located in another continent at the cost of a nightmare horse.
We must always be extremely cautious when we weaken ourselves as the price of attacking our opponents.
Of course, if Xiu Yi is willing to change the conditions, then with limited efforts, the God of Scourge will be happy to sprinkle a handful of salt on the opponent's wound.
"I just want the Nightmare Horse." Xiuyi said with certainty.
"This makes me embarrassed." Keith said helplessly: "The resolution of the Presbyterian Church cannot be changed. The church has always longed to build a Nightmare Knight Order with the Nightmare Horse as the main body. That will be our future main combat force, but in fact, even ourselves are still too far from this goal. Giving you one, it will be even further away from our Nightmare Knight Dream. But if you are willing to tell us which artifact the Holy Spirit Church lost and is willing to provide us with imitations for verification, then we can provide you with some other things, such as some alchemy resources for specialties in the South Continent."
"There is no need." Xiu Yi shook his head: "I want the resources of the Southern Continent, but you can use other methods, such as working together, you provide resources, and I will make some small things for you that you will like."
"Like a scout bee?"
Xiu Yi smiled: "Better than that."
"This can be considered, but Nightmare Horse...what do you think we replace you with force? We can send a Knights to you and be driven by you."
"The senators of the Scourge Church want to drag people into the water, so they don't have to use this method, right? I haven't planned to fight against the Holy Spirit Church now, at least I don't want to."
"If you hand over the imitation of the artifact to us, sooner or later, they will know that you made it."
"How long can it last? Even if the whole world knows tomorrow, at least today, I will not take the initiative to say it. The Knights of the Scourge Church are very powerful, but they don't make much sense in the Northern Continent. I just want the Nightmare Horse."
Keith looked puzzled: "This is really an impossible deal, it's what we use to breed."
"How do you match the Nightmare Horse breed?"
"Once a year, you can get ten to twenty mares each time. However, since mares are not nightmare horses, they can only survive at most one third after the breeding. Even for these thirds, there are not many young people who can successfully give birth to children. Therefore, a nightmare horse can only provide us with two to three young horses a year." Keith is also very cooperative on this issue.
"How many nightmare horses do there exist in the Scourge Church now?"
"We have been getting the Nightmare Horse for almost twenty years. At first, the Nightmare Horse was very uncooperative and had almost no young horses. But later we got used to it, and the situation gradually got better. For this reason, we lost twelve animal trainers, and now we only have about seventy hybrid nightmare horses. To build a Nightmare Knight Order, at least three hundred are needed. Now, how important is your Nightmare Horse to us, right?"
The beast trainer? Xiu Yi was stunned. He suddenly remembered the attack he encountered when he came to Winlington. The leader was a beast trainer.
"Have you ever sent someone to ambush the team of envoys of the Franck Empire?" Shuyi asked immediately.
Keith was stunned, and a look of embarrassment appeared on his face: "So you know this."
“Why do that?”
"A neighbor of civil war is more popular than a neighbor of harmony." Keith replied naturally: "If the Franck envoy was assassinated on the territory of the Reims Empire, then peace in the North would not end."
"But you also say that the main foreign enemy of the Scourge Church is the Demon Realm."
"The Demon Realm is the main foreign enemy of all mankind." Kiss corrected Shuyi's words: "But people do not believe our views. They believe that the Demon Realm will not invade because they cannot come at all. People are like snails hiding in their shells, always fantasizing about peace but never facing the possible suffering. The Scourge Church takes it as its mission to fight the end of the world and save the Scourge, but we need the support of everyone. The Southern Continent alone is not enough!"
"so……"
"The entire continent must be integrated into one voice."
"It sounds more like the declaration of the ambitious and the reason for the invaders."
"We can just have a clear conscience."
Xiu Yi couldn't help but shake his head. Many aggression was carried out in the name of great righteousness, which is normal. What's abnormal is that even the invaders themselves will believe that they are just in the end, which seems a bit funny.
The doctrine of the Scourge Church is obviously good, but they act radically and seem a bit unpopular.
I heard that there are many factions in the Church of the Scourge. Some people think that the relationship with the Church of the Holy Spirit should be eased rather than being blindly enemies. This is a moderate; some people think that they should kill them from the Southern Continent, kill all the Holy Spirit Church, and spread doctrines in the Northern Continent, which is a radical faction; some people even propose to find a channel in the Demon Realm and fight to the Demon Realm... Well, this is no longer radical, but it should be called a crazy faction.
Things like assassinating Franck envoys and destroying peace between the two countries are obviously the decision of radicals in the Scourge Church. Judging from the righteous and conscientious attitude of Keith on assassination and sabotaging peace, there is no doubt that he is also a member of the radicals.
Thinking of this, Xiu Yi couldn't help but say, "Then you come here, besides looking for the picture of the Saint of the Sunset, there is probably another task, which is to assassinate Prince Franck?"
Keith was stunned. Unexpectedly, Xiu Yi analyzed his purpose for coming here from a few words. He smiled bitterly and said, "Richard Lehman is guarded by the powerful stars, so it is impossible for me to kill him. However, it may not be possible to do some damage and prevent them from forming a marriage. But your appearance has changed things. Compared to destroying the peace between the two countries on this continent, magic weapons are more important. Anyway, even if they complete this marriage, it does not mean that they will not fight in the future."
"Then I can help you and make this marriage fail."
The alliance between Shuyi and Richard Lehman is extremely secret, and the Church of the Scourge cannot obtain information. Under the current circumstances, the Francks are destined to give up Avril for Shuyi. In this case, it is also good to use this opportunity to increase a little chip.
"Even if this is added, Nightmare Matthew is too important."
"Then I will add another condition. The Nightmare Horse belongs to me, and you can send someone to help me take care of it. When it comes to the estrus, you provide mares and Nightmare Horses to mating, and the young ones belong to you. I just need to ride it and fight without its offspring, at least the offspring of this hybrid does not need it."
"But what if it dies on the battlefield?"
"Without losing anything, you gain a lot, but you don't even take any risks. Isn't that unreasonable?"
Keith thought for a while and finally nodded: "Okay, I will pass your proposal to the Senate, and I believe they will give you a reply soon."
This time, the reply came very quickly.
The elders of the Natural Scourge Church from the far southern continent contacted Xiuyi in person.
It was an old man shrouded in thick black mist.
He was wearing a black robe, his face looming in the black fog. In the black fog, there were only a pair of shining eyes as dazzling as the stars in the dark night.
What shocked Xiuyi was that when Xiuyi saw the other person's eyes, he actually felt a sense of horror and palpitations from the bottom of his heart.
You should know that this is a connection created through the communication crystal. The old man is far away from him, but through a communication crystal, he has developed spiritual pressure on himself.
That's something that even the strong Stars cannot do.
A thought immediately emerged in Xiuyi's mind.
This was his first real contact with the Sanctuary, and thankfully, it was not a hostile contact.
In the crystal ball, the old man in the black fog finally spoke: "Hello, young man in the distance, Isador, the elder of the Scourge Church, and Isador; Naper, I am very happy to see you. I already know that you have three magical tools, and I must admit that you are the darling of the gods."
"I thought the Scourge Church had no gods worshipped."
