Reborn Dragon Vein Warlock, Genius Beauty Mage

No one who can become a true god is given for free, even Cyric is unlucky, so the sea god Velko specially sent an oracle to ask Pope Saskia Van Acht to tell Fernand some things. Grand Duke of Germany.

"Although Duke Stuart is the favored one of the great Dragon God, our Poseidon Church cannot participate in worldly matters, and neither can their Dragon God Church. Otherwise, why would she be made a Dragon Knight and assigned a giant dragon."

Archduke Fernand nodded to express his understanding.

Pope Saskia Van Acht continued: "Intelligence shows that the elf next to Duke Stuart has at least legendary strength."

This time Archduke Fernand was not so shocked and said, "This elf named Savannah has only been following Duke Stuart for a few years. Does that mean she was a legendary from the beginning?"

"Yes, otherwise how could it be possible to be promoted to legend in just a few years? This is the early investment of the elves. Obviously, they have received great returns."

Pope Saskia Van Acht took out a piece of parchment, which recorded the investigation of the Stewart Territory. Although it was impossible to detect any important information, at least the public information would definitely not cause problems.

"Monica Bellucci, a master level mage, let's consider her a legendary level."

"Yes, I took note of it."

"Carlottani, ninth-level mage, Onelia, ninth-level mage, Archduke Fernand, did you find anything wrong?"

"They are both ninth-level mages just like Duke Stuart."

"Yes, a ninth-level mage can use the secret box spell and have a portable storage space, but how can it be such a coincidence for three ninth-level mages. I think they can be calculated according to the master level."

"His Holiness the Pope is right."

"Duke Stewart, Silver Dragon Alicia, Elf Savannah, Monica Bellucci, Carlottani, Onelia, at least four legendary combat powers and two masters."

Archduke Fernand said with emotion: "I didn't expect that Leader Stewart is so strong. Even our Principality of Belgium cannot compare with her."

Pope Saskia Van Acht said solemnly: "That's why I said that the enemies of Duke Stewart failed because he underestimated her. In addition, the Stewart Territory also has fifth-level legal professions and above. There are nearly ten warriors and nearly seventy knights, so they can’t compare with us in this aspect.”

"Well, looking at this alone, I think the Stewart Territory is a new territory that has just emerged, but even so, its strength is not weak."

Pope Saskia Van Acht told everything that needed to be told, and then asked: "Archduke Fernand, what are your plans for the next thing?"

"In order to spread the glory of our lord, the great sea god, we must step up the construction of battleships. With the strength of the principality, we can start building two sailing battleships and four three-masted heavy cruisers at the same time. Although it will take at least two years for new ships, especially battleships, to be commissioned, this is Something that had to be done.”

Pope Saskia van Acht affirmed this idea: "This is what it should be. The fleet is fundamental."

Archduke Fernand added: "If it weren't for the damn dark elves, the principality's fleet would not have been destroyed. The Kingdom of France also has a battleship, the Kingdom of Apennines has a battlecruiser, and the Kingdom of Rhine has a battleship and a battlecruiser. , The Kingdom of Piast has a war cruiser, and I am going to send someone to communicate with them and discuss whether we can commission the ship to be built."

Pope Saskia Van Acht pondered: "The countries should be aware of this situation now, even if the king is not aware of the church behind it, so even if they are willing to sell it, the price will not be low. "

Archduke Fernand had a righteous expression on his face: "For the glory of my Lord, there is no need to worry about money and the like."

The Principality of Benedictine has been engaged in maritime trade for so many years, and Archduke Fernand's family has accumulated huge wealth. If it were all used up, it could build at least fifty battleships.

If the "North Atlantic Treaty Organization" did not appear, it might take three to five years for the Principality of the Netherlands to launch a battle cruiser and two or three heavy cruisers. Now this situation will naturally be at full speed. It's just that complex work like shipbuilding is not something that can be solved with money. It is limited by shipbuilding capabilities, so Archduke Fernand proposed to purchase warships to deal with the immediate threat.

Archduke Fernand added: "If I can buy back warships from other countries, the number of warships in the Convention will be reduced, and the number of caravans and escorts that can be protected will be reduced. We can Take the same approach to compete for sea route shares.”

Pope Saskia Van Acht said: "If it is not a direct confrontation with the Convention Organization but the same suppression of pirates and convoys, the church can send paladins and priests to participate, so that it can make up for the lack of naval strength. ”

Archduke Fernand said with a worried face: "Your Majesty the Pope, this kind of free escort will cost money every time. With the accumulated wealth, we can compete with the Stuart leader in a short period of time, but over time we will be unable to make ends meet. , this is not easy to handle.”

Because the Principality of Benedictine also enfeoffed other nobles internally, the territory directly under Archduke Fernand was only the size of four counts. In the past, the income from maritime trade was no worse than that of the royal families of other kingdoms, but if the pattern of burning money with each other started now, the income from this territory would be absolutely inferior to the income from the three counties of Stuart.

In a word, Duke Stuart's income can support such a huge expenditure. The Principality of Bien is resting on its laurels and will have to admit defeat once its savings are spent.

Pope Saskia Van Acht said: "That's why I tell you this information. The Stewart leadership has many advantages, but they are all maintained by Duke Stewart. If something happens to her, the whole thing will That’s it.”

Archduke Fernand immediately understood and said: "Understood, I will make arrangements. But before that, I have to find some trouble for her. According to the "Legend Convention", once you become a legend, you can no longer interfere with worldly affairs. It’s better that she, the Duke of Stuart, can’t survive.”

"Very well, let's do it."

Although it was the Pope who invited him to discuss it, he was actually conveying God's will, so this matter must be done as soon as possible. After leaving the church headquarters, Archduke Fernand immediately made arrangements. Missions were sent out to various countries to discuss the purchase and construction of ships. The Principality of Belgium only had one legend, so it had to hire at least three others, and to be on the safe side he was prepared to double the number. Reporting that the Duke of Stewart was at the legendary level had to be done in a methodical manner, so he sent a mission to the Kingdom of France to state the matter to the Pope of the Church of the God of Order.
