"Do you know who your opponent is?" Caroso asked.
"I know that I will eradicate the cancers in the empire!" Ailin said firmly, "Father promised me that as long as these things are resolved within three years, I will be in charge of Knight Tournament's work."
"I believe that Knight's spirit will shine on the land of Pendor again sooner or later."
Once this incident broke out, Knight Tournament decided to let it go.
Foreign tourists are running away from Pende like crazy, and the price of a boat ticket has soared to 10,000 Bronze Coins, and there is still no market price.
I'm afraid it will take several years to recover.
"Very good, very energetic." Caroso nodded. "As far as I know, the place you are going to is at the intersection of the desert and Nordo Forest. There are Gatu Mountains nearby, and there are Gatu tribe everywhere in the mountains."
"The Jatu group has a feud with your country and the elves. You may be able to use the power of the elves there."
"Okay, Thank You's opinion." Ailin said softly, "I heard that you were descended by God, and your body..."
Caroso's face was gloomy and he looked like he had been hollowed out. Ailin looked very sorry.
This is her friend, but something like this happened in her country...
"I'm fine." Caroso hesitated. "Actually, I suggest you not to leave so soon. The people you want to bring are Benson's soldiers. You have no military expenses at all, so you may all starve to death before you get there."
"There will be supplies on the way, right?" Ailin blinked. "Those city-states on the way all belong to the empire."
Caroso:...
Do you really think they will give you money? Then it will be fine if you don't mind borrowing money!
Although Ailin's reputation among common people has soared now, she will definitely become a thorn in the eyes of the nobles.
Even if Duke Benson made a huge mistake, she killed Duke Benson so easily without even getting a warrant from the empire, let alone passing the Senate. Which noble would not be trembling?
In this era, the reputation of common people is useful, but it cannot be used as food.
There are too few examples of successful peasant uprisings.
In the final analysis, if you want to take over this country, you still need the reputation and support of the nobles. If not, you will have to pull together a strong enough team yourself.
"Just wait a moment." Caroso said, "Wait for me for a few days, and you can purchase some supplies, especially those needed in the desert, and I can lend you the money."
"I still have 1.05 million Magic Crystal Coins. Let's make up the whole amount and lend you one million."
"How can I have the nerve to ask for your money?" Ailin waved his hands repeatedly. "Our country is already very sorry for you!"
"Shieldwind Fortress has two divisions stationed. The daily operation of one division for one year costs about 300 million Bronze Coins." Caroso said in a deep voice, "Where did you get the money?"
Although they didn't use firearms, the normal weapons they used were not much cheaper than firearms, and they were all enchanted.
"There will definitely be a way!" Ailin said firmly, "Although Benson has gone astray and many nobles have died, I still have some uncles, and I believe they are the real Knight!"
Caroso was silent. No matter how good those people were, they would not help Ailin at this time, otherwise they would be making fun of their own lives and even the whole family.
"The descendants of King of Knights, the descendants of Sword in the Stone, won't fail to repay the money, right?" Caroso smiled and said, "I didn't lend you the money for nothing, I will charge interest. Let's calculate it based on the current interest on your national debt. Just treat it as if I deposited the money with you."
"Of course I will pay back the money, but..." No matter how stupid Ailin is, he still knows what Caroso is going to do.
The country has just been in trouble and the national debt has not been issued yet, so the interest rate is very low according to the last time.
If we wait a few more days and the country wants to spend a lot of money to quell this incident and really needs to issue national debt, the interest rates will definitely rise.
Moreover, Ailin's future is uncertain. If Ailin dies, all the money will be wasted.
No matter how confident Ailin is, she just believes in herself. She doesn't want others to put such a big bet on her and take such big risks.
"As long as you can repay the money, if you don't take the money, you don't treat me as a friend." Caroso said, "One million, for three years, if you can't afford it..."
"I'll let you handle it!" Ailin gritted his teeth and bowed to Caroso: "Thank you..."
"You're welcome." Caroso stood up. "Go buy supplies first. I know a good arms dealer. If you trust me, I can ask him to help you transport some supplies."
Caroso is not at ease when buying supplies in this country.
"You helped me so much, I don't even know how to repay you..." Ailin, like Teresa, is not a love brain, but a struggle B, and they don't think about other places at all.
"There will be opportunities in the future."
After Ailin left, Caroso went to see Pope of Church of the Blazing God of War.
Pope's name is Krosh Mohan, a burly middle-aged man.
He is the highest-ranking person currently holding a meeting here.
"You finally woke up, good boy." Krosh looked Caroso up and down, and praised, "With dual professions, you are indeed a person who can withstand Our Lord's divine surrender."
"Don't worry, you are our Church's holy son. I will definitely bring out the best extraordinary holy tools to help you recover."
"Thank you." Caroso nodded.
"I have wanted to see you for a long time. I heard that you just paid homage to the statue of Our Lord and got the favor of Our Lord?"
"Well..."
"What a pity!" Krosh slapped his thigh. "For such an outstanding talent, who should be Card Maker? You should be Warrior! Church of the Blazing God of War. You are the only one who is not Warrior God's Chosen."
"I found that after reaching a certain level, it seems that the occupation does not matter..." Caroso hesitated for a moment. "Some people with divine power seem to be able to use cards across occupations."
"I know quite a lot. It's easy to communicate with someone with a rich family like you." Krosh nodded. "The premise is that you have divine power. People with divine power are too special. How many are there on the mainland? Moreover, even people with divine power can only use their own professional cards to achieve the greatest effect. Little guy, don't learn things too complicatedly, but be precise."
"Thank you for your advice." Caroso expressed his sincere thanks.
"You took the greatest credit for this incident." Krosh revealed a hint of appreciation in his eyes. "Tell me, is there anything you want?"
This time Caroso succeeded in killing the gods with Blazing God of War, and the absolute dominance of Goddess of Dawn Church began to waver.
Previously, the reason why Goddess of Dawn Church was powerful was that they had the largest number of people, the richest financial resources, the largest number of believers, and unrivaled power.
Goddess of Dawn Church was useless. Light Force and Riccardo were involved. The incident was solved by Church of the Blazing God of War. It is impossible to occupy an absolute position.
This matter Goddess of Dawn Church and Pander Empire will not let other forces dig deeper.
If this happens, a huge price will be paid.
For example, only the Goddess of Dawn Church family had a veto power before, but now we are discussing this matter.
If nothing else happens, I'm afraid Church of the Blazing God of War will get one more vote.
After this incident, many little Church followed Church of the Blazing God of War's lead.
"Riccardo Archbishop participated in cultivating Death Knight. This Laria is not peaceful. I don't know how many secrets are hidden in it. So, is it unfair to only leave Goddess of Dawn Church to determine Nimel's identity as a god?" Caroso said.
"Of course, we will definitely supervise this matter." Krosh nodded.
"Well... this is something within our Church's responsibility. Shouldn't it be considered a requirement?" Caroso asked tentatively.
There is no sense of inconsistency with what Caroso is talking about, as if he himself belongs to Church...
"Ha!" The admiration in Krosh's eyes became even stronger. "We Church have done such a big thing, it's time to participate in this kind of thing, and it's time to let the world know the reputation of Church of the Blazing God of War."
"Back then, Our Lord beat out Ragnarok with Laevateinn, and together with Mal fought for life for mankind."
"It's a pity that the predecessors were ashamed of Our Lord, and the glory of Our Lord was not spread across the entire earth."
"Now that I have become Pope, it's time to change this situation."
"With your ability, you can definitely do it." Caroso continued, "The forces there at Shieldwind Fortress are complex, and I think there should also be the existence of our Church branch. This is just a suggestion. Whether you adopt it or not depends on you..."
"Well, the nobles of Knight's Country can only believe in King of Knights, but the people have no hard requirements. Moreover, Gatu tribe and Fear Legion over there are known for their strength. I believe that the glory of Our Lord should also shine on them." Krosh nodded without refusing.
This is the difference between Church and the country.
To the Pander Empire, these two forces are enemies, but to Church, anyone can believe in religion. Their hatred of each other has nothing to do with Church, as long as they don't provoke Church.
Caroso mentioned two things in succession, none of which could be regarded as his request. They were all suggestions that the Holy Son could make.
Krosh discovered that this Caroso is not only powerful in combat, but even without this strength, he is also a rare talent.
At least in terms of striving for benefits, he did everything right. Both suggestions are beneficial to him and can be adopted by Krosh.
"As for my request... I want to send some people to Shieldwind Fortress. I hope these people's daily supplies will be deducted from my reward." Caroso finally made a serious request.
The strange thing is that this request has nothing to do with him, but is about Ailin.
"It seems that princess is very important to you..." Krosh raised his eyebrows.
Is this going to be given to Ailin?
Is this what he means, or what Azure Wolf Province or even Presia Empire means behind him?
If the empire meant it, that would be interesting. The matter of garrisoning troops can be big or small...
"Is that okay?"
"Okay." Krosh nodded. "How many people?"
"Some elite ones."
"Okay, I can also help you transport firearms." Krosh was very arrogant now. He made this statement directly and did not mean to make a riddle. "However, raising these people and helping them hide their identities is not a simple job. Church has a promising future, but his current abilities are also limited..."
The meaning is obvious, Caroso's request has come to an end.
"Understood."
"You Azure Wolf Province also need a branch of Church of the Blazing God of War, right?" Krosh touched the ring on his hand.
"As the Holy Son, of course I have to donate a church to Church. This is what I should do." Caroso emphasized one.
Azure Wolf Province was defeated by Grand Duke Osiris on his own. He did not want other forces to get involved.
Even for Church of the God of Wisdom, the church did not build too much. The power of Church was absolutely suppressed by Azure Wolf Province.
Moreover, Azure Wolf Province and Presia Empire are both located in the north, located in severe cold, and the folk customs are strong and the worship of nature is higher than the worship of gods. There are relatively few Priest, but there are quite a few Shaman.
"Yes." Krosh nodded with satisfaction. "Things to help you recover will be sent to you later."
After Caroso met Pope, he communicated with Grand Duke Osiris.
"Are you okay?" Grand Duke Osiris, as before, got straight to the point.
"It's okay, it's just a divine intervention. Church of the Blazing God of War will take care of it."
"That's good. Were you involved in this incident?"
"Participated part of it, for Nimel, for Ailin."
"Want to get married?"
"No, I just want to establish friendship with Ailin."
Osiris was silent.
Build a friendship with Ailin...
Ailin's reputation has now spread across the entire continent. Building a friendship with her is not a simple matter of making friends.
"You want to place a bet?"
"Yes." Caroso didn't hide anything.
"Okay, what do you need now?"
Pander Empire has become corrupt. This is what Osiris taught Caroso. What Caroso and Ailin said are actually the thoughts planted by Osiris.
Therefore, Caroso's bet this time is in line with Osiris's wishes.
The current situation is turbulent, the conflicts between countries, as well as the conflicts between aristocrats and civilians, and productivity issues are clearly pointing to a world war.
If you want to gain a firm foothold at this time, you must not only rely on your own military strength, but also rely on politics and diplomacy.
When Azure Wolf Province started, he wandered between the three countries and lived in the cracks.
However, Caroso is obviously not satisfied with the status quo. From the people he contacts, we know that he wants to play a big game.
He doesn't want to survive in the cracks, he wants to gain more in the world war!
If you want to get more, you have to place more bets.
If you don't follow those entrenched forces, it's easy to set yourself on fire, but Osiris took a fancy to this point of Caroso.
Eldest Son is too conservative, Second Son has good abilities and is a bit angry, and only Caroso is very ambitious.
If Caroso succeeds, Azure Wolf Province will take a big step forward.
If you fail... you will lose everything.
Osiris started from scratch and built a huge family business. His ambition is still young and he wants a better Kolia.
No victory or death!
"I need a division to take me home. Then I will stay in this elite group, led by the seventh-level Professional."
