Warlock Royal Family

In any case, Ladislaus could not have guessed that he was being targeted by the True Elect Pope, and was evaluated so seriously.

If a sorcerer who just came into contact with the fifth layer of the magic net claimed to have offended His Majesty the Great True Chosen Pope to Ladislaus, then Ladislaus would call him wishful thinking unceremoniously.

Completely unaware of how important he is, Ladislaus just goes on with his life, and while Michelangelo is making his arm, he's looking around for another assistant who can help him restore the power of Sirica Boss.

A doctor, preferably a surgeon, and Ladislaus needed a surgeon to help him.

Although there are a large number of priests on this plane who use the power of gods to get rid of diseases and heal injuries.

However, doctors still survived as an auxiliary profession. Although their importance was much lower than that of priests, they still had room for survival after all.

Although many priests are also good bonesetters, because of the common rejection of divine and arcane spells, Ladislaus, as an arcane practitioner, can only choose doctors instead of priests.

Of course, the asking price of doctors is generally lower than that of priests, which is also an important reason.

Ladislaus wanted to find a doctor through the relationship of the Colonna family, but to his surprise, the old Colonna introduced him to a Knight of the Hospitaller.

The Knights of the Hospital is a monk group established during the Crusades. The original base camp was the holy city of Jerusalem. According to legend, the first master and apprentice of Anri was born there. After Saladin defeated Guy and took the holy city, the hospital The Knights retreated to Rhodes Island. They were good at fighting and steadfast, and Rhodes Island is now the easternmost stronghold of the Europa pantheon.

Many offshoots of the nobles who did not have the right to inherit Europa volunteered to serve on the front line in the battle against the Xingyue Great Demon.

For these knights, Ladislaus is very respectful.

Although politically independent and economically prosperous, the Knights Hospitaller is also a member of the Dark Church in name, so the Knights Hospitaller respects Ladislaus, who holds the title of Archbishop.

"Honorable Archbishop of Liguria, I am the Temporary Representative of the Knights Hospitaller in Rome, Second Inspector, Calvin von De Frisch."

From this name, Ladislaus naturally knew that the unattractive man in front of him was a German nobleman. Although he was a nobleman from the name, this knight was the least aristocratic that Ladislaus had ever seen. He is an aristocrat, and he has a kind of simplicity that has been washed away.

"Hello, Your Excellency Inspector, I am very honored to have your help this time."

"No, I am the honored person. Senior Colonna introduced me to you because he wanted to give me a chance." Inspector De Frisch had known that Ladislaus had something to ask for a long time ago, but he used Such an attitude still surprised Ladislaus.

"Your Excellency Colonna City Defense Officer was also a hospital knight? I don't know how I can help you?" But since it is the relationship of the old Colonna, it is better to listen to it anyway.

"Your Excellency, when Spain and France, the two great powers of the Europa pantheon, fought each other, the Ottoman Empire in the east had destroyed the Mamluk Sultanate of Egypt and established a powerful country with a population of 3000 million. More than France's 500 million, and even Spain and Austria combined."

Hearing this world situation, Ladislaus was a little baffled. What is going on with the other party? What is the use of finding yourself with this kind of problem? Although Emperor Charles V valued himself very much, this kind of geopolitical situation cannot be turned at all. Come to Ladislaus to have an opinion.

"Your Excellency Inspector, this is of course very worrying, but the Mamluk Sultanate of Egypt is also a powerful country with a history of hundreds of years. Chao, plus the wise and powerful Ottoman Sultan Selim I has died, the new Sultan Suleiman I may not have the talent of his father, I think he may not be able to deal with the remnants of Egypt." Ladis Rouse has a good reply based on a recent discussion with Machiavelli.

"It's great that you can understand the situation in the east, but I'm afraid you also underestimated the Ottoman Empire. Although Sultan Suleiman who just came to the throne is young, he is indeed a man of great talent and boldness. He is not inferior to his father. In order to avoid civil war after his death, Selim I He not only killed all his brothers and nephews, but even his sons. He carefully selected the best one among more than 20 sons, and executed all the other sons. He has indeed maintained the stability of the country and the talent of his successor, and now his successor Suleiman has not only stabilized Egypt, but also formed an unprecedentedly powerful fleet, ready to besiege Rhodes Island, the base camp of our Knights Hospitaller."

Ladislaus patiently listened to him before replying: "Dear Inspector, first of all, I think the new monarch will have to deal with a lot of problems, and the possibility of an immediate large-scale attack is very slim, and all the male members of the family will be killed. Leaving only one son can only show that Selim I was in a state of insanity in his later years, because any epidemic or accident may destroy the Ottoman royal family. Take a step back and say that even if what you said is true, I am not qualified to pay attention to this Forgive me, at this moment, any suggestion to His Majesty the Emperor to compromise with the Kingdom of France will be meaningless, and will even arouse very dangerous doubts."

"Yes, I understand. I don't want you to speak to the emperor. All I ask is to tell you this information. After you have listened to my introduction, my request is satisfied. I will be more than happy to help you Thank you, Senior Colonna has already told me about your requirements, please rest assured, our hospital knights are all very good surgeons, the only thing is, I hope you can complete the purchase before Christmas, His Royal Highness has ordered All intermediate and high-level knights stationed abroad must rush back to Rhodes Island before the new year, and I will also return to Rhodes Island to prepare for the battle."

Ladislaus, who originally thought that the other party would ask him to speak to Emperor Charles V, was a little disappointed, because although what he said just now was very reasonable, it was also a negotiating tactic.

The Knights Hospitaller itself has a large-scale merchant fleet and operates hospitals in many metropolises. In addition, many monarchs and nobles often donate to them. The wealth of the Knights Hospitaller is world-renowned, not to mention the King of France After the destruction of the Knights Templar, many properties of the Knights Templar were handed over to the Knights Hospitaller, which was more pure and did not interfere in the internal politics of European powers.

If the other party offered a sky-high price, Ladislaus might not be able to subtly mention it in front of the emperor. After all, an archbishop secretly reminded the threat of the Eastern pagans, which could not be miscalculated anyway.

I didn't expect that the other party didn't have such a request at all, and it was too eager.

"Aren't you going to the banquet tonight?"

"No." With just one word, Inspector De Frisch expressed his attitude in a concise but unquestionable way.

Ladislaus had no choice but to agree on the contact method and approximate time with Inspector De Frisch, and Ladislaus sent the venerable knight a long way.

When Ladislaus walked back to Colonna Palace alone, he found the old Colonna city guard standing at the door.

Old Colonna looked at Ladislaus who was frowning tightly because of the news of the hospital knight, and said first: "What do you think of the threat of the Ottoman Empire?"

"You don't think it's their nervousness? The new sultan should have to deal with a lot of domestic problems before it's too late." Although Ladislaus was raising doubts, he was not confident.The inspector De Frisch just now gave him a very credible impression. This is the most dangerous warning that a man with a great sense of honor can issue on the premise of maintaining his self-esteem.

"Building martial arts outside is a good way to stabilize the inside." Old Colonna obviously believed that this threat existed, otherwise he would not have set up a line with the inspector, "Before I was born, the Ottomans conquered Constantinople destroyed the 1000-year-old Eastern Roman Empire. It is said that Persia in the East also became stronger again under the rule of the Safavid Dynasty. Selim I and the Persian ruler Ismail I carried out After several contests, the Persians were finally driven out of the Tigris and Euphrates rivers. After that, Ismail I sent envoys to communicate with the great powers of Europa, hoping to join our alliance to deal with the Ottomans, but we were only lucky for these demon worshipers It was true for a period of time that they could kill each other. However, a few years ago, Selim I suddenly stopped attacking Persia and instead attacked the Mamluks of Egypt. Victory, all the way to Cairo, expanding thousands of miles in a few years. Now the Ottoman Empire is undoubtedly the world's number one power."

In the past, Li Di only knew that the Ottoman Empire, the sick man in Europe, had no concept of the "sick man" in his prime. "But is the Hospitaller really so desperate? They just want to be familiar with me." Ladislaus can only guess that the emperor and the deputy grand duke concentrated all their energy on the French, so that it was difficult for the representatives of the Knights Hospitaller to even ask to see them, or they could not speak when they met, so they were in a hurry Go to the doctor.

"Don't underestimate yourself, young man, but for the time being, there is really nothing we can do. Come on, go into the house and change into a dress. Susan and the others are waiting for you. Today, Anna specially invited a chef from Ming Kingdom. She said you admired Eastern culture?" Old Colonna seemed to be optimistic about Ladislas, but he stopped discussing the issue of the Knights Hospitaller and returned to the hall with his "cheap son-in-law" in his arms.

An important dinner party is waiting for them.
