It's not that hard to open a hospital in another world, right?

Chapter 835 A Red Heart to the Holy See, Both Hands Ready to Fight the Parliament
The Duke of the Netherlands yelled angrily, and the entire small meeting room immediately fell silent.The duke's face sank like water, and his eyes swept over sharply one by one, from left to right:
"Do we have spellcasters? I know that you, including me, have each funded some priests. However, if you really fight against the Holy See, do you think these priests, bishops, will stand on your side, or on your side? Where is the Holy See?"

Count Dordremet, Count Delft, bowed their heads together.Count Flanders muttered unconvinced:
"Other casters are not without..."

"Yes, no." The Duke sneered:
"One? Or two? What's the level? Are there any professionals above level five? Are there any professionals above level ten? Even if there are, experience, equipment, unique spells, these things, can they compare with the Holy See? This one from the Netherlands The archbishop is a level 12 powerhouse!"

Being an aristocrat always had some privileges.Sneaking around in the castle, raising magicians, warlocks, bards who can do small spells, etc., as long as there is no big commotion, the Holy See will basically turn a blind eye.

After all, these spellcasters, at best, set up a small secret room for the lord, set up a personal protection, blow some cool breeze in summer, and set up a heater in winter.

Find the way when traveling, and divination when you encounter a problem. Some old and frail nobles may ask the caster to make some kind of potion...

Mostly they appear as counsellors, governesses, or "the weirdo who lives in the castle tower".Don't dare to practice spells openly, don't dare to recruit disciples openly, as a magician, you don't even dare to build a mage tower!

Such a caster, when it comes to the battlefield, is there a fart?

"Our place is next to the sea, and the spellcasters with a little bit of ability have all run to the opposite side..."

Earl Flanders lowered his head and muttered softly.Beside him, Count Ostend looked sideways:

That's not true. The narrowest part of the strait is only more than 30 kilometers away. People with good water skills hold a wooden bucket and swim desperately in the dark. Maybe they can swim there.A little bit of ability, a little bit of spirit, don't run away, are you waiting here to die?

The knife of the Holy See is always hanging...

"There is also treatment. There is a real fight, do you not need treatment, or do I not need treatment? Have you saved enough healing scrolls? Have you saved enough healing potions?" His Excellency was sullen, but his tone became more and more severe :

"Here people are sick and injured and dying, and the Holy See over there says that as long as they surrender, they will be treated. How many people do you think will run over?"

"This one……"

This is really bad.Birth, old age, sickness and death are the most primitive fears of human beings.For a scalding child, a poor peasant woman who could not afford the treatment, dared to kowtow on the steps of the church until her face was covered in blood;

For the sake of the dying old man, the most honest farm boy, he dared to pick up a pitchfork and force his way into the church;
Not to mention that during the war, for the sake of his brother, his brother, the captain who has been taking care of him, the lowest-level fighters, dare to gather and overturn the priest's tent...

If all the healers evacuate, how many people will be willing to follow them, and how many people will defect halfway, it's really hard to say.

"There are still people. Under your rule, how many people do you have who devoutly believe in the Lord of Radiance?" Seeing that the Earl of Orange was still a little unconvinced, the Duke's tone sank again:
"We are really fighting against the Holy See. Those farmers who go to the fields with bare feet, those fisherwomen who sit in the mud huts weaving ropes and mending fishing nets, and those bread vendors on the street, how many people will inform them? ?”

"Then...what do you think my lord should do?"

The Earl of Ostend sat on the edge all the time, holding his wife's hand tightly, without saying a word.Seeing the Duke put out all the difficult conditions he thought of, he finally said:

"Just put up with it like this?"

"What you can't get on the battlefield, you can never get it on the negotiating table." The Duke of the Netherlands got up from the table, walked a few steps with his hands behind his back, and then walked back from the other end of the meeting room:
"If you can't beat it, you have to be patient, be patient first. Be patient, beg, petition the king and the Holy See—"

"Organize an aristocratic group as large as possible. Let's go together, everyone." He turned his head and looked at each person in turn. He didn't continue until every earl nodded affirmatively. :

"Everyone goes to petition together. The king and the Holy See will always give some face. Then, secretly accumulate strength and educate the people. These people, only when they can't survive, and they clearly know that they can't live because of the Holy See. will be on our side.”

"That's not enough."

Earl Flanders whispered.In this edict, his industry was hit the hardest, suffered the most losses, and had the heaviest desire to resist.On the way to the Netherlands, he checked the strength in his hands several times, and now he gritted his teeth and decided to bleed a lot:
"I can offer 50 gold coins, including equivalent supplies, to hire spellcasters and purchase potions."

"I can also offer 20."

"I'm poor here, I can only pay one hundred thousand..."

Several earls echoed messily.The Duke of Netherlands listened silently, and when he finally finished listening, he let out a long sigh:
"Of course it's good for you to have this idea. However, with such a large transaction volume, who can buy it from is a problem."

There was a sudden silence in the conference room.As a noble lord, it is not surprising to buy some healing potions from the Holy See on a daily basis; buying in large quantities will definitely alarm the other party——

You can come to the church to pray and receive treatment, but you stockpile a lot of medicine, why?
Is it a conspiracy? !

Moreover, in addition to healing potions, some other spell props must be stored, and some spellcasters must be hired.With such a large transaction volume, there is only one buyer who can take over.

"Who will do it?"

The Duke put his hands behind his back, facing the crowd, his eyes were scattered, and he didn't focus on anyone in particular.However, all the earls turned their heads collectively and stared at the earl of Ostend:

We have known each other for so many years, who doesn't know who?Your wife is a magician, if you don't go, who will?
Count Ostend held his wife's palm and bowed his head in silence.After a while, the Duke of Netherlands coughed, turned around and took out a scroll from the corner of the meeting room, and spread it out on the table:

"This is a serious matter. I, William Oren, hereby swear that if any word of today's plan is leaked, I, my family, and blood will be killed on the spot!"

He cut his finger and pressed a bloody fingerprint.The scroll flickered on and off, and a spell flew out, sinking into the Duke's body.The earls looked at each other and came up one after another, swearing with blood one by one:

With the guarantee of magic, there is no need to worry about traitors unless it is absolutely necessary!

The Count and Lady of Ostend are the last two.After taking the oath and pressing the bloody fingerprints, he stood up straight and looked around, and said softly:

"Let me do the work of contacting the parliament. I have a way to win their trust."
