Your Majesty, the Spectacle Has Missed the Country!

The dinner to entertain Cecil's delegation was naturally extremely sumptuous.

The cooks of the Principality of Idar have already mastered the essence of new-style catering under Bruno's repeated training.

therefore……

By the time the attendants brought the delicious, delicious dishes to the long oak table in the middle of the banquet hall...

The eyes of almost all members of the mission were involuntarily focused on the dishes placed in front of them.

Today's era is, after all, an extremely backward era.

Even as a noble, most of their daily food is simple meals such as white bread and bacon.

Not only is there not a wide variety of condiments, but the cooking method is also extremely simple, just steaming, boiling, roasting and the like.

But this dinner party prepared by the Idar people was an eye-opener for these envoys who came from afar.

how to say……

The recipes of the Principality of Idar can be said to be a perfect fusion of Chinese food, Western food, Japanese food and other delicacies from the previous life.

The upper part includes records of palace delicacies, while the lower part collects folk snacks. The ingredients are precious and carefully selected.

in,

Chinese dishes have rigorous knife skills and delicate seasonings.

There are boiled cabbage with green leaves and thick flesh, light and delicious, and fish soup with spicy and sour soup that is sweet, thin and tender.

The Western-style meals at the banquet are even more varied and varied.

The Mexican taco with corn as the base and beef and vegetable fillings is mouth-watering, and the French lobster seasoned with cheese and sea salt is mouth-watering.

In addition, there are foie gras sushi, mushroom egg rolls, squirrel mandarin fish...

for a while,

Those members of the Cecil Mission who were present were slightly distracted.

can't read!

Not to mention that the social scene and industrial construction of Idar Principality are incomprehensible to them, even the recipes of Idar Principality’s dishes are incomprehensible to them!

Even as nobles, this is the first time they have tasted so many wonderful ingredients, and the first time they have experienced such a novel taste.

Looking at the food placed in front of her, Leya used the knife and fork in her hand to gently fork a piece of squirrel mandarin fish dripping with orange-red juice and put it into her mouth.

In an instant,

The sweet and sour aroma immediately bloomed in her mouth.

The fish was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, with a sweet and sour taste. The mellow and rich taste made Leya feel a little surprised again.

Naturally, she could not get involved in the negotiations between the Kingdom of Cecil and the Principality of Idar.

After all...whether it is the purchase of weapons or many other matters, most of them have to be decided and decided by Viscount Danielson.

so,

When the officials of the Principality of Idar and the members of the Cecil Mission were having a heated discussion...

Leya's gaze,

It seems like a hamster searching for food,

I couldn't help but glance at the plates of food.

Then "inadvertently" he quickly reached out with the knife and fork in his hand and put the food that looked delicious, tasty and delicious on his own plate.

no way,

Although on weekdays, Leya has never been interested in things like eating.

But today...

The temptation of the sumptuous dinner and delicious food prepared by the Idar people was not something Leya could easily refuse.

Who can resist the delicacies from the Principality of Idar?

…

The discussions and negotiations between the Cecil Mission and the Principality of Idar lasted for two full days.

The representatives of the Principality of Idar, headed by Old Ford, naturally lived up to their expectations.

Not only did they win a large arms order for Bruno, but they also reached a lot of substantive consensus with the Cecil Kingdom.

Although at the beginning, the pretentious Cecil people had no interest in the weapons and equipment of the Principality of Idar,

But……

No matter which era or part of the world we are in, no one can escape the law of "true fragrance" originating from the earth.

When the members of the Cecil Mission experienced the weapons and equipment equipped by the Idar army for the first time at the Idar Magical Weapons Testing Ground at the foothills of Almis Mountain...

Stop pretending! Showdown!

We have long wanted to buy weapons and equipment from the Principality of Idar!

All right,

The weapons and equipment owned by the Idar Principality are already ahead of the Cecil Kingdom by countless years.

Let’s just take out the melee weapon.

Most of the forces in this era are still relying on the "block iron smelting" technology to make short swords and daggers.

On the other hand, the Principality of Idar, which occupies the eastern part of the empire, has built large steel factories and arms factories, and used blast furnace ironmaking to forge sharp and sharp Idar-style sabers.

not to mention……

This time, the Principality of Idar wants to sell more than just melee weapons!

With the upgrading of new magic rifles, the Idar army has replaced a large number of obsolete old-fashioned firearms, and the Principality of Idar is also looking for suitable potential buyers across the entire continent.

no doubt,

In this era, no force can resist the temptation of the magic rifle!

Especially when Viscount Danielsson watched with his own eyes the Idar soldiers, relying on the magic rifle in their hands, destroyed the armored scarecrow fifty or sixty meters away...

His desire for the magic rifle has reached its peak!

As a confidant of King Cecil, Viscount Danielsson is clearly aware of the external crisis that the Kingdom of Cecil is currently facing.

Although the independence of the Cecil Kingdom was the common wish of the western nobles, it caused the nobles in the western part of the empire to completely turn against the Norman royal family.

In addition, the Church of Light is entrenched in the southern part of the empire and intervenes in this war in the name of the eldest prince Pitzman...

No matter how confident Viscount Danielson was about the strength of the Cecil Kingdom, he was not at all sure that he could keep out the well-trained Crusader soldiers.

Many times, it is very difficult to admit that one is inferior to others, but after what he has experienced these days... Viscount Danielson has truly realized that the comprehensive national strength possessed by the Principality of Idar is by no means ordinary. The power can be matched.

Therefore, after realizing the important value of the magic rifle, what he was worried about was not that the price of the Idar standard equipment was too high, but that the Idar people were unwilling to sell it!

And at this moment,

The olive branch offered by the Principality of Idar and the arms trade of the Idar people have undoubtedly become the most important help in the eyes of Viscount Danielson!

If the Cecil Kingdom's army could also possess such powerful weapons and equipment...

Wuhu!

By then, the overall national strength of the entire Cecil Kingdom will have achieved a qualitative leap!

finally,

In the name of Cecil's Messenger, Viscount Danielson signed a subscription agreement with the Principality of Idar for 8,000 magic rifles and 10,000 Idar standard sabers.

In addition, he also racked his brains and spent all the gold coins he could afford to buy various armors, helmets, military rations...

But even so, Viscount Danielson still used his eyes to stare at the list of goods available for trading written by the Idar Government Affairs Office.

He also wants to buy more good things!

But the problem is...

After all, Viscount Danielsson is not King Cecil himself. Even though he has used all the funds granted to him by King Cecil Manquin Blood, he can no longer squeeze out even a single gold coin.

Fortunately, the "kind-hearted" people of Idar seemed to have noticed the dilemma of Viscount Danielsson, and because of the "deep friendship" between the Principality of Idar and the Kingdom of Cecil, they lent two griffons to the Cecil Mission. Used by knights to deliver letters.

Thus,

It only takes seven or eight days at the fastest for the Griffin Knights of the Idar Principality to travel between the Kingdom of Cecil and the Principality of Idar and deliver Viscount Danielsson to the Kingdom of Cecil in the west of the continent.

Then Viscount Danielson, who received the order from King Cecil, was sent back to the Principality of Idar.

As for the rest...

Although Viscount Danielsson is very interested in the magic industry and magic devices that were born in the Principality of Idar, this is after all the research result of the Idar School.

This is no longer something Viscount Danielson can decide!

so……

Except that Viscount Danielsson and the Griffin Knights of the Idar Principality will return to the Kingdom of Cecil by air transportation...

Other members of the mission, including Princess Cecil Leia Blood, will temporarily stay on the land of the Principality of Idar.

As for the engagement with Leya,

All right,

Although they had only met once or twice, Bruno was not opposed to the engagement, but as for whether to conclude the engagement...

But we need to wait until Viscount Danielson returns from the Kingdom of Cecil, and then it depends on the situation.

after all……

Bruno not only represents himself, he also represents the Principality of Idar behind him!

…

When Viscount Danielson left the Principality of Idar, it was already mid-June.

Just after Viscount Danielson left,

Bruno finally got the latest news from the Church of Light from the Idar CIA.

how to say?

After so many days of calm...

The Church of Light, which had put the eldest prince Pitzman back on the throne, finally could no longer sit still.

…

Holy city, Bethlehem.

While the Principality of Idar was busy receiving the Cecil delegation and the nobles of Basel were busy blowing bubbles, the Church of Light was not idle at all.

Even starting as early as January,

With the stroke of a pen by Cardinal Camus Blanchard, the indulgences that the bishops of the Church of Light had high hopes for finally appeared on this continent in a different world.

According to the church’s rhetoric,

If a believer in the church commits a crime, he or she can obtain forgiveness from the god by purchasing indulgences of different quantities and levels.

The reason why the crimes committed can be forgiven is because the money collected by the church will be used to build statues of gods and maintain the operation of the church.

Since the church is the only spokesperson of God in the world, supporting the church is equivalent to believing in God, and you will receive blessings and forgiveness from God.

In short,

The church fabricated a complete set of theological grounds for the sale of indulgences and assigned the task of selling indulgences to the bishops of various dioceses.

And there is no doubt that...

this,

It's a bad move.

After all this trouble...the church has indeed made its fortune!

The sale of indulgences one by one allowed the Church of Light to accumulate a large amount of money and materials, giving it the capital and confidence to intervene in this war.

But in those places where the church cannot see,

The Church of Light has, to some extent, shaken the foundation of its faith.

To know,

The economic development status and population size of each parish are completely different.

However, after such a division, each bishop was assigned the task of selling indulgences of a large amount.

It is true that some people take the initiative to buy indulgences sold by the church, but...

More civilians have never committed a crime and have no money to buy indulgences.

But in order to complete the tasks assigned to them, the bishops of each diocese did everything they could, and even used their brains to develop a pre-sale business specifically for civilians.

Can you guarantee that you will never commit a crime in the future? Absolutely no bad virtues?

Maybe not?

Since there is no guarantee, then buy it from me!

The church has done so much for you, yet you are so reluctant to part with such a small amount of money?

If you don't buy it, sorry, it means you are not a devout believer.

God will hate you, the church will expel you, and your identity as a believer will be ruthlessly taken away by the church!

In this era of per capita prenatal education,

The church's rhetoric, which is similar to that of a big p, undoubtedly dropped a bombshell in the hearts of ordinary people!

They already live in poverty,

The reason why we believe in the church is that we hope to be saved after death and go to the heaven on earth mentioned by the church.

But in many areas,

Rumors have emerged that only by purchasing indulgences can one go to heaven on earth.

so……

Even though their lives have been extremely difficult and their lives have been full of setbacks,

But he had to use his trembling hands to carefully put the sweat-stained coins hidden deep in his pocket into the "atonement box" set up by the church.

then,

The bishops of the church will distribute to them a piece of parchment that is extremely scrawled, like a ghost drawing but soaked in holy water!

But we can’t ask the church to write more on it.

after all……

The size of the parchment is probably only one-third of the palm of your hand, and there is not much blank space for careless carving.

and,

Whether it is writing words and symbols on it, or parchment used as indulgences, this all costs money!

The church's original intention of selling indulgences was to make money and prepare for the upcoming war, so naturally it was even less likely to use fancy signs.

so……

When the sale of indulgences continued with great fanfare until June...

The money accumulated by the church has reached a terrifying figure.

…

In this period of time,

Cardinal Camus Blanchard was always happy.

The dark clouds that had previously hung over his head seemed to gradually dissipate as time went by. Two of his confidants who were promoted by him successively fell into the arms of the Protestant Church.

and……

With the sale of indulgences, large amounts of money flowed into the church.

Along with the chaos in the interior of the empire, the number of believers in the God of Light is also increasing.

As the saying goes, the sky clears up, the rain stops, and you feel like you can do it again.

With the situation looking good, Cardinal Camus Blanchard felt...

The time has finally come for the church to rise!

In his opinion,

As long as the Crusaders use the banner of eliminating harm for the people and detail the heinous crimes committed by the imperial nobles...

The intervention of the Light Church immediately became the teacher of justice in the hearts of the people!

Before that,

The only thing that Cardinal Camus Blanchard is worried about is whether the Principality of Idar, located in the eastern part of the mainland, will intervene.

But now...

He can assert that the Principality of Idar will definitely not send troops!

because……

The Kingdom of Basel has been persuaded by the church!

The Kingdom of Basel will launch an attack on the Principality of Idar and delay the progress of the Principality of Idar!

Although it may sound incredible, UU Reading www. uukanshu． net After all, the Kingdom of Basel has enjoyed peace for nearly a hundred years, but... this has become a definite fact.

In this period of time,

Of course, the Church of Light is also paying attention to the tulip miracle that happened in the Kingdom of Basel.

The church naturally doesn't know the truth of all this, and has no time to trace the source, but what the church knows is... the skyrocketing tulips have made the nobles of the Kingdom of Basel drift away!

To know,

The dumping of goods from the Principality of Idar "suffered" from many Basel nobles, causing their interests to suffer huge losses.

But now, the price of tulips is rising steadily, making the Basel aristocrats feel good about themselves.

As the saying goes,

I have money in my hands and don’t panic in my heart.

so……

Thanks to the efforts of the church, more and more Basel nobles have an inexplicable confidence!

In their view,

The time has come to strike back! It’s time for Basel to rise!

The nobles of the Kingdom of Basel also plan to take advantage of this time of wealth to "beat up" their neighbor to the north, the Principality of Idar!

after all……

Although the army of the Kingdom of Basel stretches its hips, it can shake people up!

As long as you have enough money,

What kind of outlaw can’t be recruited? What kind of mercenary group cannot be hired?

In the view of the Basel nobles,

As long as you throw away lots and lots of money,

The Kingdom of Basel is enough to support a decent army to fight what they "think" is a local war!

"The horn of charge has been sounded..."

"The Church of Light will create a new era!"

Looking at the map hanging in his room, the red archbishop said in a deep voice.
