Chapter 328 Miscalculation

When Parina heard what Xuan Weizi said, she was about to refute, but she opened her mouth and still didn't speak. She knew the style of the Senate very well. Once those conservative gentlemen suffered heavy losses and setbacks, surrendering would be better than weakness.

Everyone is quick, and sometimes the apparent strength is actually to cover up secret collusion and black box transactions.

"Do you know? Your Farai family is the best ambassador." Xuan Weizi said with a smile: "Who asked me to be a guest in your hotel? Maybe in a few days the Senate will appoint your Farai family as its representative.

Come test my attitude."

"If this is the case, what will be your attitude?" Parina asked curiously.

Xuan Weizi looked at the floating mountain peaks in the circular light mirror and said expressionlessly: "It's a good thing, but it won't be good if it flies over my head."

Palina asked: "Do you think the Russian-Georgian prince will pose a threat to the Mutual Protection Alliance?"

Xuan Weizi said: "This kind of threat has always existed! Before this, the Mutual Protection Alliance was still confronting the Imperial Legion on the border. Now that they control the floating mountain peaks and have the full support of the Church's Scribing Academy, the focus of the New World's strength is

Returned to the control of Prince Auger."

"But when you and I met with the Prince of Georgia before, didn't we say that we would share the New World with the Mutual Protection Alliance?" Palina asked: "I think you can still cooperate with each other in the face of the threats from the Empire and the Eye of Mystery."

"With a sharp blade in hand, a murderous intention arises." Xuan Weizi sighed: "I don't live in the head of Prince Auger, so I don't know what he really thinks. What's more, this kind of thing cannot only depend on the ruler's personality.

will.

Although the Mutual Protection Alliance does not control the best ports and shipping routes in the New World like New Camelot City, its vast land area makes the Mutual Protection Alliance more abundant in food, minerals and various resources. Regardless of the reason,

It is impossible for the Mutual Protection Alliance and the Russian-Georgian prince to maintain peace."

"Now that the war in New Camelot City has not ended, you are thinking about how to deal with Prince Auger?" Palina asked.

"The reality of the situation is such that it is not up to me, nor to the wishful thinking of Prince Auger." Xuan Weizi said: "Besides, I don't want to, what do the other people in the Mutual Protection Alliance think? What do the Pentagram Tower think? I am a psychic, but I can't

You can't enslave and control everyone's thoughts! This battle in New Camelot City must have attracted a lot of attention, and the appearance of the floating mountain will make many people feel threatened."

Palina then asked: "You can understand the operating mechanism of the floating mountain so quickly, you should have a way to deal with it, right?"

"I only have a rough idea, and there is no way at the moment, but there is no doubt that the dangers on the ground cannot resist the floating mountain peaks." Xuan Weizi said: "The defense lines and positions that the Mutual Protection Alliance tried to establish in the past to deal with the Imperial Legion,

After the floating mountain peak appeared, it was almost useless. The war situation will inevitably undergo a major change."

Palina was silent when she heard this, and Xuan Weizi continued: "If such a floating mountain is modified, it can probably carry thousands of people, right? With the help of the mage, it will be a hard bone that cannot be chewed.

If you can't defeat it, you can only avoid its edge and attack other places. And this is not the point. The Prince of Russia and Georgia can use the floating mountain peaks to rule the vast territory more efficiently. After all, the human survival environment is still highly dependent on

Land, national strength is also limited by land."

Palina smiled a little proudly: "Not necessarily. The empire also has a vast territory, but so what? Rich people and big landowners have replaced the territorial nobles in the past, and colluded with the Senate and outside to prevent the empire from collecting taxes. In this way

No matter how big the country’s territory is, what’s the use?”

Xuan Weizi nodded and said: "You are right. Ruling a vast territory is a delicate job. The situation cannot be changed simply by issuing decrees. But what if rule and management can be extended to every part of the country? Rule.

How can the reader’s vision not be blinded by bureaucrats, aristocrats, and wealthy people, and be able to clearly understand the details of national production and material circulation?”

"Who can do this kind of thing? It's impossible to set up communication towers in every town, right?" Palina asked.

Xuan Weizi raised his hand and pointed to the floating mountain peak in the circular light mirror: "Isn't this it? The floating mountain peak is not only a mobile fortress on the battlefield, but also a king's palace where people can move freely. The mountains and rivers on the ground are dangerous and land shipping cannot be blocked. Cooperate.

Who else can conceal various prophecy spells and detection methods?"

"What you say makes sense." Palina turned to say: "But you underestimate those officials too much. They have many ways to conceal various situations. Moreover, in the past, there were teleportation spells, and the emperor sent special envoys to patrol various places.

Able to fully grasp the domestic situation."

"I didn't say that Prince Auger could solve everything by relying on the floating mountain peak, but everything is changing." Xuan Weizi said: "The focus of the floating mountain peak is not on itself, but on the changes in the use of magic.

The way people and materials circulated was changed, which was followed by a change in the way of war and governance."

Xuan Weizi really wanted to have a deep understanding of the inner structure of the floating mountain peak, especially the effective guidance of the pulse of the earth, which gave him many ideas. Although they were still very vague, the focus was precisely on how to improve the efficiency of the circulation of people and materials.

If the vast majority of civilians in a society still rely on the transportation capabilities of their feet and animal-drawn carts, even if a very small number of spellcasters and wealthy people can enjoy the convenience of transmitting spells, the entire society will still be in an inefficient and lazy state.

Xuan Weizi once asked the spirit messenger to imitate the wizard and make magic items similar to the phantom colt carriage, but the effect was not significant. Because the spirit animals are more restricted than the phantom colt, they cannot be separated from the spirit messenger and transferred to others, and they cannot be circulated.

Or trade, it is worse than the Phantom Colt Carriage.

In Xuan Weizi's eyes, the floating mountain peak is not simply a magic fortress that allows freedom of movement, but a key to changing the form of magic use. Perhaps Prince Auger himself has not realized it yet, but only regards it as a powerful war equipment.

Xuan Weizi played with the Zhaoying Hanguang Mirror and said with a deep look: "If the Prince of Russia is willing to provide me with the details of the production of the floating mountain peak, the Mutual Protection Alliance may not be able to cooperate with him."

Palina laughed out loud when she heard this: "Do you think it's possible? That is their most important trump card. If it weren't for the two legendary mages sent by the Eye of Mystery, and the sudden attack of the ghost fleet, I guess the Russians would have

The prince is not willing to expose this method so soon."

"I think so too." Xuan Weizi lowered his head and glanced at the Dharma Mirror: "And how do you think the Eye of Mystery will respond if the war evolves to this point?"

"Response? Aren't they all running away?" Palina said.

Xuan Weizi stood up, patted his butt, and said with a smile, "Maybe."

"What are you going to do?" Parina asked quickly when Xuan Weizi waved away the circular light mirror and turned to leave the guest room.

"Kill someone." Xuan Weizi replied lightly.



Comercius leaned against a wall, nosebleeds dripping on the ground. There were two spellcasting abilities in his body, two contradictory energies, and the aftermath of the conflict was still lingering. Even if he could barely suppress the restlessness of the other soul, but in his consciousness

The shock has not completely gone away.

"I didn't expect that this time it would be so embarrassing."

Comosius wiped away his nosebleed and looked up at the floating peaks in the sky, his envy and jealousy clearly revealed. Such an extraordinary creation was obviously beyond his expectation and completely destroyed all his previous plans.

.

"Floating Fortress... No wonder Governor Auger is so unscrupulous. This is his bargaining chip to compete with the Eye of Mystery." Comosius thought to himself: "This kind of creation requires long-term investment and construction, even if it takes three to five years.

It can't be completed, and with the secret cooperation of the marshal of the legions...it seems that all this has been planned for more than ten or twenty years! It is rare that a member of the royal family can serve as the governor of an imperial province for such a long time. No wonder the guys in the Senate treat this guy

There are many praises, it seems that he has conveyed benefits in the past and made the empire relax and paralyzed, just for this moment!"

While Comercius marveled and admired him, his heart was also full of annoyance. He turned around and looked not far away. In the cold mist, there were golden lightnings and bursts of thunder. The strength displayed by the six-winged saint was just like the legendary victory over the "Golden One".

Wisdom” Mikosi’s Missionary Spear.

"I didn't expect that the Scribing Academy would not only recover the artifact, the Preaching Spear, but would also bring the earthly saint back from the dead. Could it be done with the 'Coffin of Rebirth'?"

Comosius only felt extremely humiliated in his heart. The gang of church scribes had even concealed this matter for hundreds of years. However, it was only when Comosius tried to seize the "Spear of Mission" that he revealed his true identity.

His strength made him completely passive.

In this way, a major foundation for the missionary academy to stand has been almost emptied out by the scribal academy. If others know that the spear of missionary, this earthly saint, has been hiding in the scribal academy and does not want to revitalize the missionary academy, wouldn't this in turn prove that the earthly saint

The saint is more in favor of the practice of the Bible College? This is an extremely heavy blow to the Mission College!

Comosius knew very well that what His Majesty Emperor Aleion III needed now was not a missionary school with a devout faith, but a church organization that was loyal to the emperor himself and had charisma. If he could successfully seize the "Missionary School"

"Spear", then he can become the head of the Mission Academy and gain the importance and support of His Majesty the Emperor.

At the same time, with the infiltration of the Senate, although he is not a high-ranking official, he can have a strong influence on the high-level officials of the empire. Perhaps he can go further in the future and become the manipulator behind the scenes of the entire Great Londinium Empire!

Only in this way can Comosius gain enough power to mobilize the entire empire to serve his ambitions, and then wash away the shame of his defeat at the hands of Olenso!

"Why, why did things become like this?!" Comosius punched the wall so hard that his joints hurt.

He hates failure, hates unexpected situations, hates those who treat him as a chess piece, and hates everything that does not run according to his own will!

Salemi, whose face was as pale as a dead man, just stood silently, saying nothing at the furious and helpless look of Comosius. Holding a long sword in his hand, he suddenly raised his head and looked up to the heights.

Comercius noticed something was wrong, but before he could ask, thunder and lightning in the distance, accompanied by an arc of light, shattered half of the bell tower and crashed towards the two of them!

Rumble——

Electric snakes swept wildly, violent thunder surged, like an elephant rushing into a glass shop, knocking bricks and tiles away from the surrounding houses and buildings, and the electric light undulated in the dust waves.

"Who?!" Komosius roared angrily. He had already used the magic to fly up, and without hesitation gave himself "Immunity to Lightning". Salemi also jumped to the top of the building. The flying boots under his feet gave him extremely powerful

mobility ability.

A huge sword as wide as a door panel swept across, blowing away the smoke and dust, revealing a giant sixteen or seventeen feet tall with gray-blue skin. He had an imposing build, and his simple-style bronze armor was more like an heirloom. Even his arms were

It cannot be protected tightly, and the muscles exposed are as strong as marble statues.

However, what shocked Comosius the most was that the giant's face was 70% similar to Olenso's, especially his calm and scornful expression, which was almost as if he was there in person!

"Hey, long time no see, Red Earl." The gray-blue giant didn't open his mouth to speak, telepathy echoed in his mind: "Or should I call you Bishop Comosius?"

"Olanso, is it really you?!" Comosius screamed. He quickly checked himself. It was clear that the "avoid detection" effect was still in effect, but why could the other party...

"Why can I find you? That's what you think, right?" The gray-blue giant's telepathy seems to contain a dull thunder that oppresses the mind: "'Avoiding detection' cannot completely conceal your existence.

, and I also happen to have a magic item that enhances prophecy detection."

Using the Shadow Mirror can greatly enhance the detection effectiveness of prophecy-based psychic energy. Even though Xuan Weizi's incarnation is still specializing in self-shaping spiritual energy at this moment, it does not prevent him from using the magic mirror to locate Comosius.

.

In fact, Xuan Weizi had discovered Comosius since the beginning of the fighting in the city, but at that time the opponent was with the people from the Eye of Mystery, making it inconvenient for him to attack. Unexpectedly, in the blink of an eye, Comosius and the Eye of Mystery

There was internal strife and disputes. He escaped with the help of Salemi, but the Eye of Mystery was busy dealing with the Imperial Legion and did not pursue him in time.

This gave Xuan Weizi an opportunity. He did not intend to let the enemy leave, especially Comosius, who was diligently promoting the development of the situation. His intention to seize the "Spear of Preaching" was obvious. Even if this person had no real knowledge of the matter,

He didn't even get a hold of the "Spear of Preaching", and Xuan Weizi still wanted to kill him.

Seeing Comosius gnashing his teeth, with hatred, panic, uneasiness, and suspicion flashing across his face, Xuan Weizi simply said: "I'm very curious. Why do you still have the guts when you know I'm in New Camelot City?"

Stay in the city?"

Comercius's eyes widened with anger and he cursed: "Do you think you are sure of victory? Then I will--"

Before he finished his words, the gray-blue giant on the ground was caught off guard and attacked suddenly. His giant sword tore through the wind and cracked lightning, slashing with the power of splitting mountains!
