Chapter 50

Holy See?

The king frowned.

He didn't have a good impression of the Holy See. The royal family of Legrand had a long history of feud with the Holy See. So far, he has not experienced much of the power of the holy see himself. One is the change of the rose, the Pope suddenly intervened in the battle of Legrand's throne. Once, the gulos family of the five Port Alliance took the holy see as their Savior.

The two Vaticans gave people the feeling that they had just gone through the motions.

For the first time, the cardinal withdrew in a panic. For the second time, the holy things that gulos wanted to send were intercepted by the Dawson family, and the holy court did not even have time to intervene.

Both times, the holy Court seemed to be dispensable, and its power was not obvious.

But don't forget where the king is standing.

He stands in front of the tombstone of William III, whose death is likely closely related to the Holy See! Will a king who unifies thirty-six states not warn the power of the Holy See? How is that possible? If the royal family of Legrand had made sufficient preparations when the national strength of Legrand was strong again more than ten years ago, William III would still be killed under the power of the Holy See.

Is the power of the holy see really just what it shows in these two times?

The king thought they wanted to wait for the coming black death, but Charles's words made him think that there might be another reason.

"Who asked you to convey that?"

The king had to raise his vigilance against the Holy See again in his heart.

"You should have heard of her from Hawkins." Charles gave the answer, "the Witch of Warwick."

"Yes."

"Before walway accepted her, she was being hunted down by the court. Her name was grela." Charles explained in detail, "her prophecy helped walway avoid many bad luck."

"Is there anything else besides that?" The king wrote down the name "grela." maybe I can see her

"I'm sorry, sire. She was in a special state and could not leave the ghost ship, so she had to entrust me to convey it. Grela can't make an accurate interpretation of this prediction. She can only say that it has something to do with the school of fish. "

It's a prophecy, not just a warning.

The king looked serious.

Fish

Subconsciously, he thought of the astrologer's prophecy repeated by the devil If they come together, the dead fish will submerge the continent they shine on The king could not judge whether the witch's prophecy pointed to the future of solving the black death by the devil or the original future.

If it is the former, then the Vatican's subsequent actions may be greater than estimated.

The king is inclined to this speculation, because the holy see is absolutely watching his recent actions.

After the defeat of the five port alliance, the Holy See did not respond!

No reaction is a reaction in itself.

"In fact, I have some doubts, your majesty." Charles hesitated for a moment and asked, "Why are you so anxious to build a navy? Because of the collapse of the five port alliance, did Legrand lose his old navy? If you're worried about Blaise I don't think they will launch another large-scale attack for a while and a half. "

The king recovered from his thought and denied Charles' conjecture.

He certainly knew that Blaise could not launch a second expedition in a short period of time, otherwise they would not have made such a big concession in Yuehe fortress.

"Why is that?"

Charles became more and more puzzled.

"I can feel that your demand for the fleet seems very urgent."

After the battle of kossia, the king ordered the counting and numbering of the remaining armed warships belonging to the five Port Alliance - Charles knew that the king probably wanted to incorporate them directly into the Royal warships.

"It's not easy to carry a large fleet with the strength of the royal family today." Charles gently advised, it seems that there is the Duke of Buckingham in, he has been on the verge of bankruptcy of the royal family has been very aware of the state, "if you need, Warwick pirates are willing to serve you at any time."

The king recognized Charles's kindness.

"Not for Blaise." He pondered for a moment and replied frankly, "because I need to block the southeast waters later."

"Seal off the sea?"

Charles looked at the king in amazement, not expecting to hear the answer.

"Do you mean to block one or two ports?"

"No The king was silent for a moment and spoke slowly, "the whole southeast sea."

"You..." Charles was speechless for a few minutes. At last he calmed down and said seriously, "I don't recommend that. No country can afford the consequences of a sudden blockade of the sea, which will lead to a full-scale disaster. "

Blockade the whole southeast sea area, you don't have to think about how much turbulence it will cause, business between the abyss channel will be completely stagnated, the commodity exchange between rogrand and foreign countries will be terminated, wool can't be sent out, and goods can't be obtained from the other side of the abyss channel It will affect far more than the collapse of a five port alliance.Not to mention in this kind of big action, how should small businessmen with poor anti risk ability survive? How can the residents who depend on selling grain to the outside world deal with themselves?

Charles was about to tell the king about the consequences when the king interrupted him.

"But what if it's compared to three days when a city is dead? What if it's compared to at least 10000 to 15000 people dying every day? What if it's compared to the whole country falling into the same kind of disaster? [1] "

with the king's question after question, Charles frowned deeply.

"The black death."

The king gave the answer.

When the word "Black Death" was uttered, the air seemed to stagnate for a moment.

The gentle and elegant Charles was stunned for a long time and murmured: "so it is No wonder you You've been confirmed, haven't you? "

Charles obviously knew better than the king how terrible the black death was, and his tone had changed from doubt to seriousness.

The king nodded without a smile.

"It's like this Can I ask for some relevant information? " Charles leaned back slightly. "I have a shallow understanding of the history of the black death. Maybe I can do my part."

The pirates who have been on the sea all the year round are really well-informed.

The king pondered for a moment and selectively told Charles about the black death. He thought that since the witch also predicted the "swarm of fish", she might be able to use it later, and the blockade of the sea itself could not do without the help of the Warwick pirates.

"I think you've overlooked one thing."

After listening, Charles thought for a moment and said slowly.

"Tell me about it?"

"The real outbreak time of black death is not January." Charles looked at the king with his blue eyes and looked serious. "It's very possible It's starting to appear now. "

The king understood what Charles meant almost in an instant.

The king got the news from the devil in October, and it broke out four months later - that is, in January, there will be the black death in Legrand. But before the black death broke out in the southeast, it must have swept across the continent on the other side of the abyss Strait.

Damn it.

The king understood where the problem was.

He was misled by the devil!

On the surface, the news given by the devil is true, but in fact, it has a strong orientation - it makes people feel that the Black Death swept many countries at the same time four months later.

This is not the case. It is true that many countries will fall into the black death at the same time in January, but before that, the beginning time of suffering from the black death in each country is different.

It's spreading!

That damned, lying, insidious fraudster.

Of course, the king did not trust the devil, otherwise he would not have prepared early. But he was still influenced to some extent by the so-called "fate line" and the devil - his calculation of time was wrong.

He made this series of preparations on the basis that the outbreak of the black death began in January all over the world.

It's the end of November.

In the king's original budget, he had at least a whole month to arrange things.

But in fact, he doesn't have that much time.

If the black death has begun to appear at this time, then in January, the king will face an international political situation completely different from that in the early days of the black death. Even now, he must be on guard against the introduction of the black death. He had doubts about the devil, but now he has raised them to the top.

For the king, the most terrible thing is that there is a deviation in his arrangement.

Because any deviation of him may bring terrible consequences to the whole country.

Did the king have to reexamine that the devil's proposal of "Black Death" was really just to prevent the former Knights Templar from doing it? ——Just like hell, the devil may have had another intention when he proposed the "Black Death" The bone ring obtained from yesterday's hell trip is probably related to this matter.

The king's face was suddenly covered with cold.

Charles noticed the change in his breath: "maybe you need some overseas agents Monitoring the situation on the other side of the abyss strait for you? "

This is exactly what the king needs at this time.

"Walway's brother is at your service, your majesty."

Charles gave a faint smile, as if he wasn't talking about sailing across the abyss to a dangerous area where the black death was likely to start.

"You can rest assured that we will not call at any port in Legrand. Once someone is unfortunately infected, he will never set foot on the land of Legrand."

The king was silent for a moment: "please be more careful."

"Don't worry." Charles stood up straight and laughed. "The ghost ship has its particularity."

There was a touch of pride in his words.The king probably understood why William III, the Duke of Buckingham, had such a friendship with the Warwick pirates.

Because they were also gifted people of that era.

Charles left in a hurry to get rid of the curse and prepare for the king to go to sea.

………………

The end of November.

A series of writs were issued from the palace almost on the same day:

the king ordered the architects of the madhouse to come to see him immediately, and the architecture professor of the Royal College rushed to the palace immediately.

The king asked Baron Hearn, who was forming a new army, to come to melz Castle immediately.

The king appointed Hawkins as the commander of the Royal Fleet.

The king announced the establishment of the free chamber of Commerce.

The author has something to say: [1] the outbreak of the black death in the middle ages can almost equate with the end. The data in this article is not made up by me, but the real situation of the black death in history. In those days, when the epidemic was at its worst, 10000 to 15000 people died every day in Cairo, 22000 people and most of the animals lost in Gaza in six weeks, and once the Black Death arrived, a city would die in just three days.
