Chapter 309 Silver Island Chain and Baptismal Pool

After half a month.

The news of the recovery of Goddess Hipponoi in the Black Sea has already spread like a whirlwind throughout the three continents where human beings are active.

Countless countries and forces are evaluating how this presence will affect the current maritime shipping, whether it will cause turmoil in the continental pattern, and whether they can benefit from it.

The recovery of this Goddess is like a big rock thrown into a calm lake, causing waves of ripples that cannot be subdued for a long time.

Old continent South.

Alfonso Peninsula borders both the Black Sea and the Sea of Treasures.

In this fertile land, rich in mineral deposits, three countries of equal strength once coexisted. Although it is not endless years of wars, peace has never really been achieved in the history of the Alfonso Peninsula in the past hundreds of thousands of years.

Until 200 years ago, the era of great sailing began.

Under the leadership of the wise king, one of the countries seems to have taken advantage of the east wind and installed an accelerator. In a short period of time, the comprehensive national strength has far surpassed its peers, and even ranked among the world powers.

It’s only been ten years.

The two neighbors, the Umayyad dynasty and the Algarve dukedom, who are in the same place in the Alfonso Peninsula, have been eliminated one after another, and they have become the ultimate victors to dominate this fertile land!

The royal family has also won the unanimous support of the whole country because of these amazing achievements, and enjoys the right to Supreme in this country!

And for more than a hundred years, its expansion has never stopped, and it is already a world power in terms of strength and territory.

This country is the No. 1 power in sea power that ruled this era of great seafaring – Overlord Cyrus!

The pearl of Cyrus, the capital of Santa Cruz.

The “Dome Palace”, which belongs to the residence of the king and the royal family, has a construction area of more than 200,000 square meters.

Ceremony Hall, Concert Hall, Banquet Hall, Galleries, Stables, Gardens, Sculptures, Monuments, Imperial Family Chapel together form a small city that brings together treasures and artistic treasures from all over the world , called the Museum of All Nations!

Like the pace of the country’s foreign conquest, this palace has never stopped expanding since the Age of Great Navigation. For every country conquered, and every colony established, there is an additional unique building with local characteristics!

A favorite of all Cyrus citizens.

Today.

Philip II, dressed in formal attire and wearing a shining crown, summoned a group of his vassals in his dome palace to “welcome” a guest from afar .

Boom—

Enamel, malachite, gold-rimmed vases are toppled to the ground by the “raging” king Your Majesty.

A service officer next to him “faithfully” recorded the words and deeds of King Your Majesty.

‘Your Majesty loses collateral to the syndicate – thunderous fury over the ‘crown of thistle’ that still belongs to Cyrus

shatters the priceless tribute from the Peacock Islands Treasure Vase vows to hold the Netherlands Bank syndicate accountable! ‘

However.

In “Anger”, Philip II glanced at the well-dressed young messenger standing under the steps, and saw that although he was respectful, he was still humble and didn’t say anything, and he felt a burst of boredom.

Sit back on his throne and cough softly.

“Cough!”

One of the following vassals came out more and more after seeing this, first glanced at the messenger, and then said respectfully to his king:

p>

“Your Majesty, the Netherlands is inexorably responsible for the loss of the ‘Crown of Thistle’! Although the treasure was looted and the treasure was lost, the upper echelons of the board were still there.

They The loss of the kingdom must be compensated. No matter which country judges, the truth is on the kingdom’s side!”

Your Majesty, the young and powerful king on the throne, tapped the golden armrest of the throne indifferent expression, and then looked again at the throne. to other subjects.

Immediately another person stepped out of the queue, bowed and saluted:

“My Your Majesty! The justice is right, but I have one more point to add.

Our collateral was tied to the kingdom’s loan, and as it stands, even if we eventually repaid the loan, the Dutch syndicate would not be able to repay the collateral to us.

So, I think the Kingdom will temporarily suspend repayments until the syndicate of banks gets this collateral back! This is a very reasonable request.”

“Well, the Chancellor and the Treasurer The minister’s words clearly make sense. Emissary Silas, what do you think?”

There was a sly look in the king’s eyes.

Evidently by now, everyone already knows what Huggins did with the crown, and finally understands the potential value of the crown.

Although Philip II just heard that the sapphire on the crown turned out to be the “Heart of Ocean” representing the authority of the Black Sea, he was so sad that he wanted to vomit blood.

If there is a sea god who can be controlled by him, even if he is only close to him, then who else would be the opponent of Cyrus on this sea? !

But now that I’ve lost that treasure, it’s too late to say anything.

As a man of great talent, even thinking about the emperor’s throne, he is now thinking of finding ways to recover losses from other places.

So.

Is there a better claimant than the “Netherlands Bank Syndicate”? And the victims of this incident are far more than my own family.

Although “Heart of Ocean” is good, the huge wealth belonging to the “Netherland Bank Group” is not bad at all.

The youngster named Silas who was standing under the steps heard this slightly smiled:

“Your Majesty! The sincerity of the bank group.

We all know very well what is currently lacking in the Cyrus Kingdom. Real gold and silver are more useful than a crown that can be seen but cannot be used. A lot!”

Philip II didn’t pay too much attention to the casually “can see or can’t use” in his mouth, but asked with great interest:

“Oh? real gold, white silver? Does the messenger also agree to our request?”

“No no no, you misunderstood my meaning, business is of course one yard for one yard.

The bank syndicate does not have the ability to recover the lost property from a Demi-God, but it can bring you more wealth, and the amount of this wealth will definitely satisfy you, please see!”

Said he took out a document from his purse and handed it to the waiter on the side, indicating that it should be presented to the king.

When he heard the word “wealth”, Philip II immediately became interested and forgave the other party’s little rudeness to refute him.

I took over the document that was identified by the “waiter” with a little anticipation, and opened it up:

“A report on the exploration of mineral reserves? An island in a new continent, Discovered by Potosi.

Abundant silver reserves and estimated reserves of 25,000 tons?!!!”

Bang——

Philip II Suddenly standing up, because he was too excited, he kicked the other vase standing beside the throne to the ground, but he didn’t care about his distress at all, and asked eagerly:

“Where is Silver Island? “

There is no reason why the continent’s most honorable king is not excited.

What is the concept of 25,000 tons? Converted to 55.1 million pounds, even if all of them are cast into 32-pounder shells, they can fire nearly 2 million shots!

To what level can the kingdom’s armament be improved if it is used to buy artillery and shells? This is the account that the little child will calculate!

That’s not necessarily weaker than getting the help of a Demi-God.

Seeing this figure, Philip II had already completely put aside the issue of another purpose of convening his vassals this time, “to deal with the changes in the situation in the Black Sea after the recovery of Hipponoi”.

He winked at “Thorn Fire”, the only one of the four Guardian Knights of the kingdom sitting next to him. The latter was nodded and turned into a whirlwind of red to completely seal off the council palace.

‘Oh! The greedy King Cyrus really took the bait. ‘

The young messenger’s eyes flashed with a gleam of success.

The Potosi island chain named after the discoverer is a “Silver Islands” not just in name only, but also in reality, born of volcanic eruptions, but the island is not just in name only, but also in reality. Not within the sphere of influence of Cyrus or any civilized nation.

It is the last retreat homeland of a group of new continent natives in the cracks of many forces.

After the expedition of the bank group discovered the island, it was because of various factors that they did not start excavating. Even if it is done, this piece of fat may not be able to fall into the mouth of the bank group.

If there is no guarantee of long-term occupation and continuous mining, it will be like watching the water in the water.

However, at present, it seems that the bank group of strength great injury can use a silver mine intelligence that is only an illusion to itself, and get enough profit exchange to make up for the deficit, and survive this crisis.

By the way, Cyrus, one of the culprits who indirectly led to the catastrophic incident of the bank syndicate, can learn a lesson!

Ecilius’ domineering will inevitably lead to fierce conflict with several other colonies. The key is that even if they know the consequences, are they willing to let them give up?

Why did the Netherlands stand for three hundred years without a peak fourth rank powerhouse or without a fourth rank powerhouse?

It seems that too many people have forgotten the bloody means when the bank group made a fortune!

The Kingdom of Pharetis “Newern Harbor”.

After more than 20 days of sea trekking, Alwin and the crew of “Cape Storm”, who faced the “Clash of the Gods”, returned to Newern Harbor exhausted physically and mentally.

“Isn’t this year’s autumn voyage to the new continent over yet?”

Going off the battleship, Alwin unexpectedly found that there are many more deep drafts in the “Newern Harbor”, Apparently an ocean-going merchant ship in a fully loaded state.

“Be careful! If you let these cashmere rugs get wet with sea water, I’ll peel your skins!”

“Go ahead, why hasn’t the dispatched goods come yet?”

“”

There is some noise in the port.

After leading a group of crew members to land, Alwin, who just wanted to finish his debriefing and go back to rest, didn’t realize the meaning behind this scene, so he forgot about it in a blink of an eye.

Now Alwin has no interest in things that have nothing to do with him.

“Holy baptism water?”

didn’t expect Later, when I was reporting to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the military, I suddenly got a surprise.

The reward from bishop Benedict of “New York Cathedral” for inventing “sea monster song” to Alwin before his departure was finally delivered when Alwin went to Taro Kingdom to perform a mission.

But he felt it was a tasty reward.

“What? Don’t you want it?”

Sitting behind her desk, Liweina was playing with a bottle of medicine that looked like a clear body but was slightly glowing with silver light. He joked to Alwin who was standing in front of him.

According to legend, the holy baptismal pool in Goddess country is the place where the souls of devotees who go to the Divine Kingdom reshape their bodies and get new life, and it is said that this is the place where Goddess bathes.

But whatever the truth is.

This “baptismal water” can only be produced in very small quantities through ceremony during the annual Christmas Mass at the “Throne of the Iron Cross” in the land of Goddess Divine Vestige.

There is no undisputed merit to the Church and Goddess, an absolutely impossible gift.

The effect is also very direct:

After officially taking Knight, it can expand its potential without any side effects and obtain the most perfect foundation. And depending on the original physical foundation, in a time ranging from one month to one year, 100% reached the peak of the official Knight of Second Rank.

Of course, the effect is only limited to the body. The human mind and will is the part that True God cannot fully manipulate, and it is also the part that truly belongs to mortals themselves.

Perhaps for the orthodox Knight who is really interested in inspiring Battle Qi, even if he would rather become the peak Knight two years later, he is not willing to take this shortcut, such as: His Royal Highness Liwena himself.

Because although there are no side effects, it also lacks the double tempering of the body and mind when progressing little by little through arduous cultivation, which has no benefit in tempering the will and stimulating 【Battle Qi】.

But this small flaw is nothing at all for Alwin, a guy who has made it clear that he wants to find a different way.

And at the level of his current senior official Knight, as long as he drinks this bottle of potion, it may not take two months at all to become a peak Knight!

Easy to gain the powerful power that others have been seeking for ten, twenty years or even a lifetime!
