Chapter 1501 found something
The soldiers of Theresa's Kingdom Corps are treated very well, much better than the armies of other countries, and there are many channels for promotion within the Corps. Every military achievement is fully rewarded, unlike joining a foreign mercenary regiment.
The military merit will be cut in half if returned to Teresa's country. Coupled with the reduction of other factors, it would be good to be able to leave 30% of the military merit in the end.
Therefore, the Teresa people's first choice for their future plans is to join the school city and become a scholar. If there is no way to become a scholar, they will also find a way to join various corps in the kingdom, accept foreign employment tasks as a corps, and earn military merit.
, only when all options fail, will they join mercenary groups from other countries as individuals.
It is precisely because the treatment of the Kingdom Corps is very good, so the various military regulations are also very strict. Even senior officers at the level of the Corps Commander must deal with these military regulations with extreme caution. Once the military regulations are triggered, they will also
be punished.
For example, the trophies obtained from the suppression of the Sons of the Virgin are far less valuable to the Third Corps than the military merits. The money after the auction of the trophies can only be regarded as additional income. If this additional income affects the order of the corps itself,
, violated military regulations, and thus had military merit reduced, then the gains outweighed the losses for the people of the Corps.
Therefore, almost all the kingdom's regiments have the same attitude towards the spoils of war. They want to take action as soon as possible, settle the matter, split the money, and avoid getting into trouble. They will not do such time-consuming and laborious things as appraising the value of jewelry.
If they do, they will just randomly set a starting price for a batch of loot and sell it.
It is precisely for this reason that every trophy auction held by the Kingdom Corps is a feast for merchants that can make them a lot of money. This also causes chambers of commerce from various countries to set up an office near the Kingdom Corps’ headquarters.
Department, specializes in handling the auction of corps trophies.
However, in normal times, these chambers of commerce will also conduct some trade with the local chambers of commerce in the Kingdom of Teresa, indirectly driving the commercial exchanges of the entire Kingdom of Theresa.
Although, in the eyes of most people, this kind of business exchanges due to the trophies of the Corps are just some unintentional benefits, in the eyes of Leo and Sylvia, it is obvious that this should be the beginning of Theresa Kingdom.
Well planned.
Perhaps in the eyes of many people, the auction of corps trophies will cause the Kingdom of Teresa to lose a lot of wealth, but if calculated carefully, this wealth is insignificant compared to the various benefits generated from the large number of business transactions with foreign chambers of commerce.
Worth mentioning.
This piece of jewelry was finally auctioned by a foreign chamber of commerce at a price that was not particularly exaggerated. This was not because the piece of jewelry could not be sold at a higher price, but because the rules of the Corps' auction were cash transactions, and the cash was not adequately prepared.
Even though they have strong financial background, they still fail to become the final winner.
However, after the foreign chamber of commerce bought the jewelry, some chambers of commerce have sent people to contact it one after another. They seem to want to buy one of these jewelry at a high price. If the foreign chamber of commerce can successfully sell those pieces of specific value
If you buy the jewelry, you should be able to successfully recover most of the auction money paid, and the remaining jewelry will basically be a guaranteed profit.
The subsequent auction items are all miscellaneous items such as furs and grains. Although the profit is far less than that of jewelry, it can still make a lot of money. After all kinds of miscellaneous items are sold out, the second climax of the auction has arrived.
The content of an auction is somewhat special, it is human heads.
Almost all the cultists of the Son of the Virgin are on the heretical list of various churches. The True God Church also has different bounties for them. The bounties for the high priests of the Son of the Virgin are not only money, but also some special content. This is also considered
Something that special people value.
The Kingdom Corps does not have so much time and energy to go to different True God Churches to deal with the bounties of these cultists, so they sell the heads of these cultists collectively and let the Chamber of Commerce go to the True God Church to collect the bounties. As for whether these heads are mixed with senior clergy.
It's a matter of luck. After all, all the heads are purchased and stored together. The people in the Corps don't have the patience to clean them one by one. Only a few heads with obvious extraordinary power will be taken away by the people from the Investigation Bureau.
Different from the previous auctions, this time not only the chambers of commerce of various countries participated in the auction, but also some organizations affiliated with the True God Church. For the clergy of the True God Church, the heads of these heretics and cultists are undoubtedly a threat to the auction.
They believe in the best sacrifices to the gods. In the past, ordinary clergymen sacrificed the heads of these heretics and cultists in large quantities, and received blessings from the gods, and became high-ranking clergymen at the bishop level.
In the end, the heads of these cultists of the Sons of the Virgin were bought by a large chamber of commerce from the Middle Kingdom. However, after paying the auction money, this large chamber of commerce transferred the heads of these cultists to the Holy Spirit as gifts.
Heart Church.
The Third Corps was not interested in knowing how the sold auction items were dealt with. They quickly started to sell the subsequent auction items, and these auction items were the reason why many people participated in this auction, and it was also the reason why Del Canra
The reason why Leo and the others came to the auction.
Among the trophies from the annihilation of the Sons of the Virgin cult stronghold, there were a large number of items designed with extraordinary powers. These included miraculous objects created by the power of evil gods, as well as some secret codes that designed evil rituals, and many banned books that had not been circulated to the outside world.
After the battle, the people from the Bureau of Investigation will pick out some of the trophies that are too evil, and the remaining items will be auctioned. They don't seem to worry at all about what will happen if someone buys these things.
They may even hope that this kind of chaos can happen in the kingdom, so that they can once again harvest a group of spoils from the cultist stronghold.
Neither Leo nor Sylvia despise these so-called sources of evil, but these things are very good things for other people, and sometimes these things can even be signed up for.
However, after all, there were people from the True God Church at the auction site. Even if the foreign businessmen were interested in these things, no one dared to bid directly, so they had already hired a local through the Corps Logistics Department to let the local
People bid to buy the things they like, and the True God Church cannot obtain the list of auctioneers from the Corps.
Delkan, who had been very calm before, became a lot more active at this time. He quoted prices many times and bought five evil items belonging to the Son of the Virgin.
He told Leo and Sylvia that he didn't buy these things to use them, but that the college has a club that specializes in studying magical creatures. By selling these things to them, he could get some from them without much side effects.
, a strange item that can be used normally.
After explaining, Delkan took out a strange object that he had exchanged before. This strange object looked very ordinary on the surface. It was just a metal nameplate engraved with complex patterns and patterns. Because it had been used before, it contained extraordinary power.
It has also disappeared, so it is very inconspicuous.
Leo didn't pay much attention to the strange objects made by the secret society of the school at first, just because Delkan had already taken out the things and handed them over, so he took them and looked at them casually.
However, when he saw the patterns on the edge of the metal nameplate that would be considered decorations, a strange look appeared on his face, and he also focused a little more. After reading the metal nameplate twice, he finally
Return it to Delkan.
Sylvia also noticed something strange about Leo and looked over inquiringly.
Leo did not answer, but just made a gesture. After seeing the gesture, Sylvia also showed a surprised look.
This simple gesture is not ordinary, because it represents the tower wizards. This is a gesture that tower wizards only make when they meet. Sylvia also knows the meaning of this gesture.
The reason why Leo made this gesture was because the inconspicuous metal nameplate Delkan took out had traces of the tower wizard making wizarding artifacts. The pattern on the edge of the nameplate was actually a secret message unique to the tower wizard.
This secret language is an improvement from the Gamorei language. It does not contain any power in itself, but is more like an identity mark.
Leo had just deciphered the meaning of this secret language, and its meaning was very simple and clear, it was the Tower of Purple Crow.
There is not only one high tower for wizards. Almost every official wizard can build his own wizard tower. These will also be counted among the wizard towers, but they are the same as the official first and second-class fixed towers.
The names are different. Those wizard towers built by high tower wizards are all named by the wizards themselves. For example, the current Purple Crow Tower is the name of this kind of wizard tower.
Although he had deciphered the meaning of the secret language, Leo did not know which tower wizard the Purple Crow Tower represented. Among the information on the tower wizards in his database, there was no wizard who would use the Purple Crow as a mark.
But what he can be sure of is that the wizard who left this secret message is definitely a wizard from the world of Velen, because there is no such creature as the purple crow in this world, and the purple crow is a specific bird of the world of Velen.
Unexpectedly, he discovered that the academy had an inexplicable connection with the tower wizard, which made Leo even more looking forward to his trip to the academy. He put the matter aside for the time being and returned his attention to the auction.
Soon all the evil artifacts were sold out. Except for three evil artifacts that were photographed by the church, the other artifacts were bought by private individuals.
The True God Church present does not have the financial resources to buy all the evil artifacts, but if they spend a lot of money to buy all the evil artifacts, then they will only be spectators in the next more important auction, and they know very well that the Corps will
The evil artifacts put up for auction will never be too harmful, and it doesn't matter even if they are bought by others.
The auction is now coming to an end, and what is being auctioned at this time is a large number of books found from the stronghold of the Son of the Virgin.
The Sons of the Virgin claim that the Supreme Mother of God is the source of all gods and gave birth to all gods, so they will actively collect books from other churches and prove the correctness of their teachings by interpreting some contents in other church books.
It is precisely because of this spontaneous behavior of the Sons of Mary believers that among the classics collected within the Sons of Mary church, there are often banned and out-of-print books, and even some books left behind by churches that have perished. These books are of great significance to ordinary people.
It has no meaning, but it has a huge effect on certain people or forces, not to mention that these books are very likely to contain some sacred objects from the Church of True God and the Church of Evil God that contain special power.
During the auction, Delkan also quoted a few bids, but he was soon defeated and became a frustrated spectator. Although he personally had some financial resources, compared to those big merchants and the True God Church,
Obviously it's not enough.
On the contrary, Leo and Sylvia each paid a few prices to buy some banned and out-of-print books that they were interested in. The books they bought all contained extraordinary powers, and several of them were even more powerful.
The power of the abyss is hidden.
In addition, Leo also scanned the unbought books through the Spiritual Network during the auction, and completely copied the internal and external structural details of those books in the database, and will sort them out when he has time.
material.
After he scanned more than a dozen banned books, he was suddenly attracted to a book called Hammer of Justice that was currently being auctioned. As the name suggests, this book should have been written by the Early Heretic Inquisition of the Church of Justice.
Books used to identify heretics.
This book can be said to be the scandal that the Righteous Church most wants to erase, because the method of identifying heretics introduced in this book seems absurd and crazy now, but this book was written at the time when the church was at its peak.
In the crazy era, the difference between the Church of True God and the Church of Evil God in that era was just a different name. Therefore, later on, the Church of Justice took the initiative to collect and destroy this book. Now, this book, Hammer of Justice, can almost be said to be out of print.
However, the reason why this book attracted Leo's attention was not the absurd content of Hammer of Justice, but the structure model of the book he built in his mind after scanning through the mental network. It was actually the same as another book he scanned a few days ago called
The Kamasutra is identical to the scripture of the Church of the Joyful, and that book was in the hands of a caravan steward who was following the Citadel's procession.
Two books with almost the same thickness but completely different contents and production materials appeared in his database with exactly the same structural model after being scanned by the Spiritual Network. This was obviously very abnormal, which made Leo couldn't help but think.
The Children of the Virgin cultists who tried to attack the Citadel team a few days ago.
Thinking of this, he tried to open the structure module of this book in the spiritual network. According to normal conditions, after opening the structure module, he could read the content of this book like an ordinary book, because
The spiritual net is all the structural details inside the entire replica book including material, paper texture, and scratches.
But now, he found that the pages of the book he opened were all blank, with nothing written on them.
Chapter completed!
