Chapter 1433: Incompetent Duke Protector
The Barbarissa couple, who had been dazzled by the news of the God War, had obviously not completely lost their minds. Although they had decided to continue taking the Beloved and go to the Black Reef waters to witness this sea battle that would surely shock the world, they did not
I plan to let my family take risks.
After they made the decision to stay, they summoned their butler and chief maid, handed over their children to them, and asked the servants and bodyguards to disembark with them.
He did not just leave these people on the round island, but directly found an office set up here by an old continent coastal country on the round island, and then revealed his identity to the officials of the office, and entrusted his children to
The country's office asked them to find another ship, or directly use the country's official ship to send the two children back to the country.
If ordinary people made such a somewhat absurd request, they would definitely be kicked out by the office staff. However, after learning the identities of the Barbarissa couple and confirming their identities, the director of the coastal country office immediately personally reported to Barbarissa.
Lisa and his wife ensured the safety of their children, and also promised to notify the country to send warships to send their children back to the country.
In addition, he hired some reliable mercenaries in front of the Barbarissa couple to provide extra protection for their children.
Leo and Sylvia also knew the identity of the couple. Although for Leo and Sylvia, even if the king of any country in the world stood in front of them, they would not cause any shock.
feeling, but they were still a little surprised by the true identity of the Barbarissa couple.
The Middle Kingdom area of the Old World is called the origin of world civilization, because the world's earliest city-state civilization appeared in this area, the earliest kingdom civilization also appeared here, and even the earliest empire originated from here, although that empire was limited in terms of land area.
The name is somewhat undeserved, but to the extent that it has unified surrounding city-states and kingdoms, it is well-deserved.
Therefore, the Middle Kingdom region has always had a very special meaning in the minds of people in this world.
No matter what kind of powerful country appears in the Old Continent, as long as this country tries to raise its status to the level of an empire, it will inevitably need to complete its rule over the Middle Kingdom, even if it is nominal rule. Otherwise, even this country will
The country unified all other Old Continent regions in the Middle Kingdom and was not qualified to be called an empire.
It is this special status and role that has indirectly caused the Middle Kingdom region to be in constant war. Countries supported by various forces have emerged one after another. No one wants one country to unify the Middle Kingdom region. The best way is to unite the Central Kingdom region.
The kingdom area was cut into pieces.
This state of fragmentation lasted for thousands of years, to the point where people in the Middle Kingdom had forgotten that they were once members of the same country and nation. Instead, due to the constant wars between large and small countries, they became feuding with each other.
This situation did not turn around until the past few decades. A powerful country appeared in the Middle Kingdom, annexed and absorbed more than a dozen surrounding city-states, and then, with amazing political wisdom, joined several other relatively powerful countries in the Middle Kingdom.
Countries formed an alliance and coerced other countries to join the alliance. Finally, before other countries in the Old Continent could react, they completed the integration of forces in the Middle Kingdom region, allowing the Middle Kingdom region to form a relatively unified alliance system, ending the continuous
Thousands of years of war.
Although this alliance system is somewhat loose, and this mandatory alliance cannot completely eliminate some feuds between allied countries, there will still be conflicts between allied countries because of some old things, but because there is a unified system to suppress it,
Even if there is a conflict between the allied countries, the conflict will only be a small friction between a few thousand people and will not develop into a large-scale war, allowing the people in the Middle Kingdom region to gain rare peace.
The person who accomplished this feat was an ancient noble named Pota XVII. The surname Pota held a special status in the Middle Kingdom because the imperial royal family of the first empire in the world had the surname Pota. Although later the Middle Kingdom
In order to prove their legitimacy, the countries in the region all claimed that their bloodline originated from the Pota royal family and gave themselves the surname Pota. However, there are still several bloodlines that are recognized as the bloodline of the Pota royal family. This Pota
The seventeenth generation is derived from one of these bloodlines.
Because Pota XVII brought relative peace and unity to the Middle Kingdom region, coupled with the bonus of his bloodline factor, Pota XVII was respected as a protector by all the participating countries in the Middle Kingdom region.
The Duke of the Kingdom has been given a very special identity and status, and the identity of the Lord Protector has also been recognized by other countries in the Old Continent. In recent years, even countries in the New World have gradually recognized the noble status of the Lord Protector.
Some people think that in terms of the coverage of the Lord Protector's noble status, he can definitely be called the world's No. 1 noble, but he is just a concubine. After the alliance was established, the Lord Protector resigned from all his positions.
He holds public office and rarely attends public banquets, so there is very little information about him, and even his name other than his title has not been recorded.
Leo and Sylvia would naturally not miss celebrities who have such a special status in the politics and history of various countries in the Old World when reading relevant information. However, in their opinion, people with such special status should be limited to
Within the scope of the Middle Kingdom, we must protect it well to prevent it from being used by some forces and countries with ulterior motives.
But what surprised them was that the Protector took his family to travel to the New World, with only a dozen ordinary bodyguards and servants, not even a transcendent person with special powers.
People around him didn't know whether he was too arrogant and thought that his special identity could solve all troubles, or whether he was confident and had other back-ups to protect him.
However, if you think carefully about a person who can promote the relative unification of the Middle Kingdom and who can be simultaneously revered as a saint by several major churches in the Old World while he was alive, he should not be the kind of person who is stupid enough to think that identity can suppress everything.
There are other back-up players to protect themselves, but neither Leo nor Sylvia noticed this back-up player before.
Leo and Sylvia did not use extraordinary means to find out how the Barbarissa couple protected themselves, but asked them directly.
Compared with Leo and Sylvia who only showed a little surprise after learning the true identity of the Barbarissa couple, the Barbarissa couple were surprised by the reaction of the Leo couple because they both had a bad taste and liked
Seeing the exaggerated expressions on other people's faces when their identity was suddenly exposed in front of them, except for the Leo couple, they were very surprised, and at the same time they became more and more curious about the identity of the Leo couple.
"Saints, because our couple are saints." Faced with Leo's question, Barbarissa answered very frankly and concisely.
And this answer also made both Leo and Sylvia realize that in this world, the saints canonized by the church are not just names. They must also contain other more mysterious powers. This power is likely to be of a higher level.
The power, at least with Leo and Sylvia's current abilities, cannot be detected.
Now they also understand why the Barbarissa couple were so bold. When they knew that a large-scale naval battle might break out, or even involve a divine war, they showed excitement without any panic, and they even joined in fearlessly.
, obviously they are confident and know that nothing will happen to them.
Halesa also knew that the Barbarissa couple had arranged their children and bodyguards on the roundabout, but they continued to travel with the ship. This made him feel a little confused and puzzled, but he did not think too much. After all, Barbarissa
What the Lisas did was a good thing for him, at least the pass would not be invalidated because the Barbarissas left.
The Barbarissa couple did not stay in the same cabin with Leo and the others as they originally thought. Instead, they continued to stay in their own cabin. After asking Leo about the exact location of the contraband, they expressed their desire.
See if you can take out the contraband that Halesa carefully stored without touching any protective measures.
It was obvious that after the hidden dangers in him were eliminated, Barbarissa's mentality was completely relaxed, and his previously hidden personality was released, making him much more lively than before.
Just as Halesa planned, after nightfall, they quietly sailed the Petition away from the dock of the roundabout. Moreover, they were not the only ships leaving the roundabout during this time, but there were many.
Most of them were sailing in the same direction as them, and it was obvious that there was more than one person who had the same thoughts and practices as Halesa.
During the day tomorrow when the Kakilan gold-carrying fleet enters the Black Reef waters, it should be the calm before the storm. Nothing will happen. Leo and Sylvia are not doing other things, but
They used small talk to relax their spirits. As for the preparation work, they had also completed it. Next, they were waiting to see whether their preparation work could achieve the expected results.
During the chat, Leo and Sylvia both agreed that everything that the Protector of the Country, Bota XVII, did should not be entirely attributed to Barbarissa's ability, or more arbitrarily speaking, Barbarissa's ability
He only accounted for a small part of the achievements of Protector Gongbota XVII, and even more often he acted as a bystander or a puppet who drifted with the crowd.
This judgment was not made based on any substantive evidence that Leo and Sylvia had obtained, but based on the analysis and inference based on Barbarissa's performance over the past few days and his character.
Apart from anything else, Barbarissa believed in Leo's words after seeing Leo only a few times, agreed to Leo's spell on him, and was at the mercy of Leo during the spell. This is somewhat inconsistent.
The character of Pota XVII doesn't match up anymore.
Although he is so bold, it may be related to the mysterious saint's protection mechanism. The saint's powerful protective power makes him confident in his own safety. In addition, his physical problems have also become his heartache. He is eager to solve this problem, even at the expense of
Risky, but no matter how you analyze it, this is definitely not the behavior and mentality of a heroic figure who can manipulate the complex political environment in the Middle Kingdom like a toy. No matter how you look at it, it makes people feel that his character is a bit too naive.
.
It is precisely because of this that after some discussion, Leo and Sylvia both believed that the achievements of Lord Protector Bota 17 should come from the mysterious person or force who controlled Barbarissa through the implant.
And the fact that the Middle Kingdom region can become the current alliance state must be inseparable from the power of that mysterious man.
They felt that since they already had a successful implanted experimental body called Barbarissa, the mysterious person and force would definitely not just create one Barbarissa. They might have secretly controlled the Central Kingdom area through the implant.
Most of them are powerful people, so the process of alliances between kingdoms and city-states in the Middle Kingdom is so smooth and fast, so fast that other surrounding Old World kingdoms don't even have time to react.
When Leo and Sylvia saw this record, they both felt that the alliance between the countries and city-states in the Middle Kingdom was so magical that it was as if it was a stage play that had already been scripted.
Everyone just needs to act accordingly, and now it seems that their feelings are not wrong. Perhaps this historical event praised by all countries is a well-rehearsed drama.
Therefore, Leo and Sylvia further deduced that the headquarters of the mysterious man and his forces should be in the Middle Kingdom. Otherwise, why would they spend so much experience helping the countries in the Middle Kingdom form an alliance?
This also puts the Middle Kingdom region on the list of regions that Leo and Sylvia must visit.
Although Leo is still not sure whether this mysterious person and force once controlled the Eye of Reality, mastered the force of alien god-like cells, and whether this force has anything to do with the medical school in the world of Velen, but judging from this mysterious person alone,
The fact that and the forces can create implants that produce pure spiritual power is already worth Leo's trip to the Middle Kingdom area.
Because most of the founders and people of various countries in the New World were nobles and scholars who were persecuted in the Old World, as well as some frustrated people who failed in political struggles and national wars, they instinctively rejected the countries and their history in the Old World.
The related books written are also full of prejudice, and the content is not recorded in detail. For example, the Middle Kingdom region is regarded as a place of decay, and all relevant records are written in a vague manner and cannot be used as effective information.
