Chapter 57: The world is like a tide and can be measured (1)

?Magic iron ore also exists in the world, but the reserves are extremely rare. In historical records, only one vein has been discovered, located in a valley in the Alps in what is now southern Germany. "" This valley faces the sun because of the leeward wind.

, it has always been a place for business travelers to rest, but no one has ever known that there is a huge treasure hidden here.

Until one day, a caravan coming from afar chose to rest here again. Among them were a group of silk merchants from Venice in the East. When they were wandering in the valley, they discovered strange ores, so they stopped and built a business here.

They set up a temporary camp to explore for ore veins. To their surprise, they not only found veins full of this strange ore, but also found rich reserves of silver and copper ores.

The leader of this group of Venetian merchants was named Hans Fugger. After discovering many mineral deposits, he immediately moved his family and partners to live nearby, and built a brand new city around the settlement called Ogg.

Fort. The Fugger family and its partners also made their fortune from silver and copper mines, until they became the largest financial group in Europe in the sixteenth century, providing huge amounts of transnational funds to the Holy Roman Emperor and the British Tudor Dynasty.

Henry VIII and his children, Philip II of Spain, the kings of Portugal and France, supported the activities of the royal families of various countries, supported the foreign campaigns of the kings and the Holy Roman Emperor, and finally through various operations, in

He secretly controlled various countries in Western Europe and became a famous underground emperor.

However, in this series of family history of the Fugger family, there is never any mention of the strange mineral vein that initially prompted them to move to Augsburg. This secret was not revealed until the early twentieth century, when people began to

I know that the famous Fugger family also has a famous identity in the magic world: the Gelbhalstch Monastery!

That's right, the Gelbhalstch Priory, the most mysterious magic power in Europe.

So far, European countries have not figured out where this gelbhalstch monastery came from and who it was taught by. They are secretive and have strict rules. They rarely come into contact with other magic forces. They also entered the European magic world because of an accident.

The perspective of legal forces.

It was the peak period of witch hunting in Europe. A group of paladins hunted two famous witches and followed them to the outskirts of Augsburg. They happened to encounter a group of teenagers hunting in the forest. It turned out that the knights were setting up a trap based on intelligence.

He was preparing to ambush the two very powerful witches. He didn't want to pay attention to the group of playboys who seemed to be the second generation ancestors of the nobles. He never thought that several teenagers met a herd of deer in the forest and started betting and scheming. One of the teenagers

I was not good at archery and missed the target repeatedly. I was ridiculed by my companions. I was so angry that I thought there was no big deal in shooting like this. I just had to wave my hand and all the escaping deer would automatically come over and wait.

I kill at will.

The other teenagers didn't believe it, so they laughed at the young man for talking nonsense. The young man took out a piece of yellow paper, held it between his fingers and muttered something for a moment, then shook it gently, and the yellow paper immediately turned into ashes, and he was seen running away in panic.

As expected, the herds of deer came back from all directions and gathered around the young man obediently, not escaping. All the young men were amazed and admired when they saw it, but the ambushing Holy Knight was frightened and angry when they saw it. At this time, the witch-hunting storm

Sweeping across Europe, although they mainly hunted witches, wizards with handles would not let go if they encountered them. Even with the thousands of years of inheritance of the wizards' guild, at this time, they had to temporarily force the Holy See to hide in the limelight. Such as wizards

It has a long tradition like a guild, and its power is intertwined. Its relationship with the royal families and nobles in Europe is unclear. Once it is hidden underground, even the Holy See cannot easily find out, not to mention that the Holy See just wants to use the witch hunting movement to further its development.

To consolidate his right to speak in Europe, he doesn't really want to kill all the major magic forces in Europe in one fell swoop. He doesn't have the strength, so he just turns a blind eye to the real big forces.

As long as it doesn't affect the witch-hunting movement, let them do it. The main ones to be killed are those wild witches who have no roots, no support, and no background, such as gypsy women who do divination.

Since there are so many concerns, the Paladins who are the main force in the pursuit, especially the captains of each team of Paladins, are very familiar with the distribution of magic forces in Europe, so as not to accidentally stir up a hornet's nest. However, this

The Augsburg area is not very popular.

The force exists because this is the border area between the Wizards Guild and the Salvation Army’s traditional sphere of influence. In order to avoid unnecessary conflicts, both sides deliberately closed in and vacated this place. On the other hand, the Fugger family of Augsburg is a member of the Western European countries.

The gold behind the royal family

Lord, the actual influence in the secular world is greater than that of the Holy See. At that time, the major magic forces did not make a lot of money by combining magic and modern technology as they do now. They already regarded money as dirt.

Even the Holy See is so poor that it sells indulgences

They lived a poor and stingy life, and when they saw the rich man, they were a little shorter. The head of the Fugger family at that time, named Jacob II, hated mages throughout the European continent, so all the forces basically understood.

Most of them don't go near Augsburg.

After the rise of the witch-hunting movement, many witches fled to Augsburg, hoping to find respite in a place where there were no other magical forces. The Vatican was also reluctant to slap the Fugger family in the face, so the saints sent to hunt them down

The knights all sneak in secretly.

The paladin who was chasing the witch this time was an expert in carrying out such secret missions. He was very familiar with the characteristics of all kinds of spells. He could tell at a glance that the spells cast by this young man did not belong to any major faction. They were strange and wild.

Lu Zi was born, so he quietly marked it, only to kill the two witches before making further calculations.

This paladin is a master of the Holy See, and the mark was made so quietly that the young man didn't realize it. He was just showing off his skills among the young nobles. The young nobles were jealous when they saw it, and they all wanted to learn from him. But the young man didn't know it.

But say this

My family's ancestral skills should not be shown in front of everyone, and all my friends should keep it secret. Otherwise, if my uncle knows about it, he will have to take the lead, and everyone will have to suffer. The young uncle thinks he is very famous.

When one of them heard the young man mention it, the other noble young men all looked nervous for a moment, and they all expressed that they would never tell anyone about it. The young man also said that these deer were summoned by me. Killing them all was too cruel, so why don't we just stop now?

He let the deer go back. Even though the spell took away the momentum, everyone agreed without hesitation. The young man only kept one young deer by his side, and the others were released from the spell. He laughed and said to Princess Margaret

My birthday is approaching, so I would like to give this young deer as a gift.

The paladin was listening, and was also secretly frightened. Seeing that these young men all had extraordinary backgrounds, they were still afraid of the power of their uncle who cast spells. He panicked at the mere mention of it. He couldn't help but secretly wonder if there was a wild witch who had sneaked into Augsburg.

The aristocratic circle started to stir up troubles

I was thinking about it. I didn’t notice the Princess Margaret mentioned by the boy who cast the spell. You must know that the name Margaret is actually from the mainland. At that time, the princesses of several royal families were named by this name. Some small royal families have not yet placed it on the mainland.

In the eyes of this paladin.
