Warlock Royal Family

During the whole summer of 1521 after the birth of the first apostle of Cyric, the continent of Europa was filled with danger.

Two Habsburg brothers bloodied their way across the Alps from St. Bernard's Pass, and the emperor was applauded by the Reichstag in Frankfurt in his bloody cloak of wealth.

Then the emperor went to the Netherlands, the most prosperous territory of the Habsburg family, via the Rhine River, and personally defended this source of wealth and force of the Habsburg family.

The humiliation of the newly-obtained protectorate made French King François Capet furious. The biggest achievement of this proud and conceited monarch since he came to power was to force Switzerland to recognize the suzerainty of France. It is a blatant challenge to the majesty of France. In response, he has assembled tens of thousands of French troops in Paris.

It is really difficult to determine who is more reasonable, although the Swiss Confederation was created 300 years ago to oppose the rule of the Habsburg family. At that time, William Tell, the voter of the goddess of the night Shar, even shot and killed a The owner of the Habsburg family, and even Habsburg Castle, the birthplace of the Habsburg family, was taken away by the Swiss Confederation a hundred years ago.

But Switzerland is also undoubtedly a prince of the Holy Roman Empire, and the emperor used this reason as a reason to oppose the French king's suzerainty over Switzerland. Naturally, there are sufficient reasons.

Of course, all of this is just an excuse. The Capet family and the Habsburg family compete for European hegemony is the essence of all this. Since everyone has sufficient excuses, it has been long enough since the end of the last war. It has been healed, and the war is of course a smooth one, plus it is imminent.

Of course, Ladislaus is also concerned about this conflict concerning the fate of the mainland, but for the time being, he is not enough to worry about such a big problem as a small pawn, although he successfully won the title of a member of parliament at the beginning of the year.

Now Ladislaus can see the words "Member of the Republic of Liguria" on his page.

The 100 prestige points needed to activate this title are not a problem. The title of "Republican of Liguria" allows him to add 1 point of charm, which is very important for warlocks, which is very suitable for Ladislaus.

He tried his best to almost bankrupt himself for this seat.

With the intervention of the emperor, this goal was easily achieved.

Min Zhu's election is of course the one that best reflects public opinion.

One of his opponents dropped out of the race at the last minute because of "family reasons" ahead of the election.

Of course, there are rumors about the opponent receiving three thousand thaler bribes to withdraw from the election, but everyone must not believe such shameful rumors.

As for the fact that another opponent suddenly revealed that he had an affair with his male secretary before the election, of course it has nothing to do with Ladislaus.

Ladislaus, as the only candidate, won the seat without any trouble of debate or canvassing.

Since the emperor's cousin Charles V personally held a grand birthday banquet for him, and called Ladislaus "brother" in front of all the dignitaries of the Ligurian Republic, Ladislaus left soon after. He bought the Doria family mansion, and built his own laboratory and mansion with the funds given by the emperor.

But in response to the emperor's brazen crossing of the border, the Ligurian Republic refused to allow Ladislaus to build the laboratory within the city walls

, of course the public reason is the great danger of arcane experiments.

And the Doria family also strangely did not choose to continue to approach the warlock royal family, so their sphere of influence was not suitable for the dock area. In the end, Ladislaus could only choose a stronghold in the wilderness without any economic value or military threat. , although this place is far away from the power center of the Republic of Liguria, most of the time it can also make people feel at ease to practice arcane arts and advance bravely.

The emperor left [-] taler funds, which have already been consumed. This huge sum of money that ordinary nobles can use to live extravagantly for ten years is not a lot to spend on the arcane laboratory.

Glass containers from Venice, metal measuring tools from Milan, arcane materials from the New World, the Black Continent, and even the Far East, all of which made Silver Thaler quickly melt into the pockets of merchants.

However, Ladislaus is currently negotiating to give the price of the fine wine left by the acting Grand Duke to the Doria family. I have not returned to Liguria City for half a year.

Mrs. Doria is not good at negotiating business directly with juniors, and it is a nightmare to bargain with cousin Harna. Fortunately, these fine wines are produced in Vienna. , who has heard of Viennese wines, has to admit that they are true masterpieces.

Miss Harna took a huge kickback last time, and she tacitly didn't cut Ladislaus to the point of crying, so Ladislaus doesn't have to worry about the experimental funds for the time being.

What really worried Ladislaus the most was his relationship with Miss Anna. Ladislaus, who thought that his value had risen sharply, was extremely unsatisfactory when he carried out the task of "pursuing the daughter of the Consul's family". With great energy, Miss Anna is always lukewarm.

I don't know what's going on, but the more the King of France clamored for revenge, the less Miss Anna's enthusiasm for Ladislaus became.

Ladislaus can only suspect that this is the old Xibo Consul, who is on the cusp of this storm, and is unwilling to let the outside world have any inclinations of the Xibo family towards the conflict between the two giants.

Today, Ladislaus went to the Xibo family's mansion to participate in a magic experiment conducted by Miss Anna. As a druid, Miss Anna wants to create an arcane partner, and Ladislaus can help, so give gave him a chance to be a coolie.

The parliament has recently been debating the issue of renovating the city defenses. The signs of war are so obvious, so most of the members agree to repair the city walls. However, they have been arguing over the project contractor for several months without reaching a result.

The Shibo family, the Doria family, and the family each have their own characters. This piece of fat is so huge that no compromise can be reached for a long time.

In particular, Admiral Doria was very stubborn on this issue. Before he went to sea, he entrusted Ladislaus to organize the Doria family faction to resolutely oppose the "brother of that mistress" of the Sibo family.

In response, the Xibo family also resolutely opposed the relationship households of the Doria family. So far, the special tax for repairing the city wall has been collected for a long time, and not a single brick has climbed onto the city wall.

The old Xibo personally approached Ladislaus today and proposed a new plan.

On the way back to the laboratory, Ladislaus has been thinking about whether to find a way to contact Admiral Doria and accept the proposal of subcontracting one-third of the project. After all, the city defense project is beneficial to everyone's safety.

However, the foreman of the Xibo family has a bad reputation in this regard. There was a man who had already negotiated in secret, but in the process of public bidding, he actually revealed the shady scene and took all the big and small.

Ladislaus's carriage was produced in Innsbruck. This wagon with iron hoops was worth more than 35 thalers. Although compared with competitors produced in Venice or Milan, the price and quality were still a lot worse. A luxury that no Ladislaus of the past could have imagined.

A fallen leaf blows into his car, Ladislaus strokes the wilted grain, autumn is here, good time for harvest.

From a distance, Ladislas saw his attendant waiting at the door, bringing him the bad news that Autumn had come with him.

While the King of France and the Emperor were confronting each other in the north, the French Duke of Bourbon led an army of 9 unexpectedly through the Duchy of Savoy, which was suddenly allied with France, and appeared on the Po River Plain. On September 25th, he besieged from all sides and captured the city of Milan in one fell swoop!

Francois, the king of France who has always shown himself negatively, gave Europa a surprise.

The Sforza family, the Duke of Milan who supported the emperor, either died or fled. France was no longer a threat, but a real danger.

This day is September 1521th, 9 after the birth of the first apostle of Cyric.
