Rather than directly seizing the "Spear of Preaching", destroying the interest structure of the Eye of Mystery is the main purpose of Xuan Weizi's incarnation in coming to New Camelot City.
Prior to this, Xuan Weizi was not necessarily sure about seizing the "Spear of Preaching". Even if Xuan Weizi himself launched the spiritual platform deduction and knew it beforehand, it was unlikely that the mysterious old man in linen robe would directly take this
A divine weapon is delivered to me!
When the external situation changed, the practices naturally changed accordingly. When Xuan Weizi met and discussed with the head of the scholastic academy, he mentioned whether he should continue to retain the title of saint on earth.
For Xuan Weizi, who has no intention of converting to the Holy Lord, this title did play a big role in the early development of the Changqing Chamber of Commerce. But now, carrying this title has attracted strong rejection from the local church, and is incompatible with pagan Shintoism.
If it involves too much, it may not necessarily be beneficial to me in seeking immortality.
Therefore, Xuan Weizi followed the trend and voluntarily gave up this title that was not worthy of the name, so that the old leader could better convince the local bishops, so that he could free his hands to fight openly and secretly with the Eye of Mystery in New Camelot City.
Just as Xuan Weizi said just now, disputes and wars broke out in New Camelot City, which is almost unstoppable. New Camelot City itself is a microcosm of the empire in the New World, and the local nobles have made a lot of money due to investment in commerce and trade.
It was full of people, refusing to pay taxes to the empire, and exploiting countless citizens, laborers, and farmers downwards.
The interests of the Eye of Mystery and the business aristocracy converge to a certain extent, but mages, both individually and as a whole, require continuous self-improvement. When external plunder and expansion encounter resistance, they can only adjust inward.
It's a pity that the internal interests of the mage are also complicated. As a vested interest, no one wants to have a knife cut on themselves. There is no way to negotiate a balance and cooperate to adjust. The result is to take cruel and violent measures against the existing internal interest structure.
Redistribute.
At this time, whether they are small landowners in the countryside or small property owners or craftsmen in the city, they naturally lack the determination to resist and do not have the ability to organize efficiently, let alone the existence of magic spells in this world that can individually control violence.
Or, this makes the small citizens the first to be affected.
In fact, this problem is not new today. There was a large-scale citizen riot in New Camelot City more than ten years ago, but at that time it was in response to the empire's heavy taxation, and the target of the citizen riot was the Imperial Legion.
In the end, the Imperial Legion of the New World and the provincial governor negotiated and moved the command center of the New World Legion out of New Camelot City, leaving the Legion with only a small command post in the city.
It was also because of this incident that New Camelot City established an additional guard team in line with the interests of the people in accordance with citizens' petitions. With the wealth of the imperial province, New Camelot City alone has a guard team of more than 3,000 people.
The troops are even better equipped than the main army of the empire.
The biggest winner in this old affair was actually the prince-governor of the imperial province. Without any blood on his hands, he allowed the imperial legions to withdraw from the city of New Camelot, had his own army, and gained a high reputation.
More importantly, no one can blame the prince-governor. It was difficult for the small citizens to bear the heavy taxes. The "piper" brought this matter to the mainland, attracting many sympathizers, even the people in the city of Londinium
People also took to the streets.
The wealthy people in New Camelot City originally disliked those legionnaires. Marshal Cavendish, who was directly appointed by the Senate, was more like a sword hanging over the heads of the wealthy people. The wealthy and noble people were more willing to do so.
Spend money to create a loyal dog to guard your home.
In addition, such a guard team must have the participation of mages. Compared with joining the Imperial Legion and fighting with the natives, it is obviously more comfortable to be stationed in a big city with high walls and deep fortresses. Moreover, the exchange of supplies in New Camelot City requires obtaining
Wealth and magic ingredients are also much more convenient.
"Do you understand? Now it's just the prince-governor repeating his old tricks. In order to consolidate his position, he brought in church copyists from the outside world. And what he has to deal with this time is you business aristocrats and the Eye of Mystery.
, I want to steal money from your pockets." Xuan Weizi explained it to the heavily guarded Palina: "Of course, you should know New Camelot City better than me, maybe you think I am talking too much.
Crazy talk.”
Palina held it in for a long time before she said something: "It seems you know New Camelot City very well."
Xuan Weizi sat down and replied: "Society is a complex organism full of connections and transformations. In society, we cannot always focus our vision on a narrow angle, we cannot just focus on the surface or part of an event, and we cannot let our thoughts wander.
Just go with the flow of public opinion.”
Palina's eyebrows narrowed: "Are you mocking me?"
"I don't have that spare time, but because of the good service provided by you 'Twilight Fairy', I can also reveal a piece of news to you."
Some of the elite members of the Imperial Legion were mobilized and left, and their whereabouts are currently unknown... Where do you think they went?"
"New Camelot City?"
Xuan Weizi spread his hands: "You said this yourself, I don't know anything."
Although Xuan Weizi is not in Evergreen City now, various intelligence messages will still be transmitted to Zhaoying Hanguangjian through the Xinggang Dharma Altar.
After receiving the news, Palina looked uneasy and asked: "Is Marshal Cavendish coming to assist the Governor? It was this Governor who drove the Imperial Legion out of New Camelot City. Cavendish
Why should Marshal Shi help him?"
"To put it simply, this is politics." Xuan Weizi took the trouble to explain: "To put it in detail, although the Prince Governor has organized an elite army of several thousand people, he can only defend New Camelot City. If you want to
To establish a country in the New World that can compete with the Mutual Protection League, we must rely on the Imperial Legion under Marshal Cavendish. Do you think this marshal appointed by the Senate really has no ambitions of his own? I have never seen it.
He himself learned his methods more than ten years ago!"
"Are you talking about the 'Son of the Fire Demon' capturing Fire Dance City?" Palina asked.
"When it comes to confiscating homes, the Imperial Legion is much easier than the priests of the scholastic school!" Xuan Weizi said with a smile: "Furthermore, Marshal Cavendish has led the New World Legion for many years, and there must be many mages who are loyal to him.
The mages are fighting to the death, and the beneficiaries are still the governor and the marshal... But I want to remind you that positions and situations are not eternal. If they find common interests, they may turn enemies into allies in an instant, and they will be targeted.
The fat sheep will be miserable~"
"There's no need to hint like this, you just want to talk about our Farai family and the 'Twilight Fairy', right?" Palina's tone had softened a lot at this time, and was no longer as aggressive as before.
Xuan Weizi swayed his feet leisurely and said: "Who knows this? I just came to New Camelot City. Don't really think that I know everything. Besides, the Farai family has a legendary warlock like you.
, and is connected to a certain powerful Supreme Fairy, even the Eye of Mystery has to consider the consequences, right? To be honest, you coming to New Camelot City in person is enough to scare some people."
Palina's expression changed, and she finally walked down the wall. The tree-shaped animals and goblins around her turned into light dust and disappeared one after another. The painted-like close-fitting gauze garment on her body also transformed into an aqua cheongsam again, returning to its dignified form.
The noble lady's look towards Xuan Weizi was a little more unpredictable.
"You're not asking for nothing when you tell me this," Palina said.
"That's right! I want to go to the legendary demiplane where the supreme goblin lives." Xuan Weizi said.
Palina frowned slightly: "Is this your request?"
"No way, I'm also very interested in the love affairs experienced by the founding emperor himself. Maybe I can also enjoy the blessing of the supreme fairy?" Xuan Weizi said with a smile.
Goblins in common language are actually a very broad concept. Fey creatures that have autonomous minds and are affected by natural or magical environments can be classified as goblins. Some may be little goblins about the size of a palm, while others
The Supreme Fairy of the legendary monster level, even the Sky Singer can barely be regarded as the Supreme Fairy.
Compared with the New World, which was dominated by belief in spirits with no specific form in the past, the tangible fey creatures in the Old World have left many fantasy legends. For example, the water fairies that live in swamps and lakes, and the tree spirits hidden in the depths of dense forests, appear and disappear.
The flower essences of lush flowers and the hags dormant in the corrupt swamps are all numerous and cannot be generalized.
In the past, the Verdant Rings were distributed around Stonehenge or Oak Sanctuary throughout the empire, and there may have been habitats for fey creatures. Only spellcasters like druids and rangers, who were closely connected with nature, could interact with the fey.
The creature communicates relatively peacefully.
It is difficult to predict the good and evil of fey creatures. They may not treat all creatures in a mountain and river equally like the sky singers. Instead, they will maintain close ties with the ecological environment that they are friendly to, and will deal with all those who destroy their own environment and species.
Maintain strong hostility.
Moreover, most fey creatures have a characteristic, that is, they are more "emotional" and don't like to reason with others. They may enjoy the pleasure of passers-by who take a fancy to them, but they may also be angry at flowers and plants that they inadvertently step on.
The hunter exacted the cruelest revenge.
Seeing Palina today, Xuan Weizi also learned the lesson. Perhaps it was because the legendary warlock had developed his own fairy blood to a great extent, but Palina had some "atavism" in her heart and behavior. At one moment, she was a plump and noble woman who was unbearably hungry and thirsty.
My wife is a wild and ferocious whipping queen at one moment, and can be said to be moody.
Xuan Weizi learned from Tar Valon and Onvino in the past that goblins' spells focus on illusions, enchantment, and conjurations, and Palina's methods are also very sophisticated and unique. She is really "playing tricks" in a literal sense.
Come".
However, that was not what Xuan Weizi was concerned about. He discovered that the Supreme Pure Taoism practiced by this deity, after achieving the "Nine True Mysterious Lights" and the body of a semi-immortal, the rhythmic changes in vitality were somewhat similar to the fey creatures in this world.
In fact, Xuan Weizi had already anticipated this situation, so he always wanted to find legendary level fey creatures to study, but they were not the kind of natural creatures from mountains and rivers like sky singers. According to legend, fairies are mostly long-lived people, similar to earth fairies. The methods have somewhat similar connotations.
Now that Palina has arrived at her door, Xuan Weizi really plans to communicate with her in depth! It would be even better if he could take advantage of the opportunity to find out about the legendary supreme fairy who had a romantic relationship with the founding emperor.
"It's not my turn to make a decision on this matter." Palina said very directly: "The kingdom of the Supreme Fairy will not be open to outsiders."
"Oh~ this is really boring." Xuan Weizi said angrily: "Then are you still driving me away now?"
Palina closed her eyes and thought for a moment, then returned to her respectful posture: "The Duke is our distinguished guest, so naturally he can stay as long as he wishes."
"What about the services you provide?" Xuan Weizi swept his eyes unabashedly over Parina's curvy figure, his aggressive eyes seeming to go up and down.
"Then I will arrange for a group of girls to come up. Please wait a moment, Lord Duke." Palina kept smiling, turned around and left.
"Hey! For the sake of what I've been talking about for so long, why don't you bring me some drinks? By the way, I suddenly want to drink milk..." Before Xuan Weizi could finish his words, the door was blocked with a bang. Lina closed it hard.
…
"Master, do we want to take action?"
Hotel manager Moyesa led a group of capable guards and warlocks, stood in front of Palina, bowed and asked.
Palina sighed softly and calmed down her anger: "No need, I will still satisfy him in the future. I will give him as many girls as he wants."
"Yes." Moyesa didn't question it at all.
"You need to be more vigilant these days, not only near the hotel, but also to say hello to the gangsters in the streets and alleys. You must have information from all channels." After giving the order, Palina waved everyone away.
The legendary warlock pondered for a moment, then pointed at the wall, and a portal appeared out of thin air. After stepping in, he appeared in the wine cellar under the hotel.
Palina didn't even bother to look for it, she could see someone sneakily stealing wine in the corner, and several empty wine bottles were rolling around on the ground.
"You want to drink, can't you just pay for it? You have to come to the wine cellar to steal it." Palina swayed, walking through the rows of wine barrels and cabinets, looking at the curly-haired woman holding a wine bottle in the corner, Sighing: "Aismeido, you almost drank all my most expensive bottles of wine."
"No, it's okay, hiccup!" Esmedo's face flushed with happiness: "Let, let Olanso pay, my student has become famous, rich, he is rich... hiccup!"
"I really can't figure out how a woman like you, who knows how to steal wine and act drunkenly, can teach a student like Olanso? With his mind, he can be successful even in the Senate. Get up." Palina said.
Esmedo giggled: "I'm very powerful, right? And with Oranso's help, you can save this 'Twilight Fairy'."
"Maybe it will lead to greater hostility." Palina crossed her arms and said, "It's just that I don't understand why the Twilight Palace sent a message at this time, asking me to approach you, the student... Ai Smedo, what else have you not told me?"
