Chapter 57 Things are as good as the tide

There are also magic iron ore in the world, but the reserves are so rare that it is heinous. In historical records, only one vein has been found, located in a valley in the southern part of Germany in the Alps. This valley has always been a place for business trips because of the backwind to the sun, but no one has ever known that there is a huge treasure hidden here

. Until one day, a caravan from afar chose to stay here to rest again. There was a group of silk merchants from Venice in the East. When they wandered in the valley, they found strange ores and stopped and set up a temporary camp here to explore the mineral veins. To their surprise, they not only found It is full of the veins of this strange ore, and rich reserves of silver and copper ores have been found.

The leader of this group of Venetian merchants, Hans Fuger, immediately moved to live nearby with his family and partners after discovering many minerals, and built a brand-new city called Augsburg, centered on the settlement. The Fuge family and its partners also made a fortune from silver and copper mines until they became the largest financial group in Europe in the 16th century, providing a large amount of transnational funds to the Holy Roman Emperor, to Henry VIII of the Tudor of England and his children, to Philip II of Spain, to the kings of Portugal and France. The activities of the royal family and the support for the foreign war between the kings and the emperor of the Holy Roman Empire finally secretly manipulated the Western European countries through various operations and became the prestigious underground emperors.

However, in this series of family history of the Fuger family, there has never been any mention of the strange veins that initially prompted them to move to Augsburg. This secret was not revealed until the early 20th century, when it was known that the prestigious Fuge family also had a famous identity in the magic world: GelbHalstch Consecre!

That's right, Gelb Halstch, the most mysterious magic force in Europe.

So far, European countries have not figured out where this GelbHalstch monastery comes from and who it is. They act secretly, have strict rules, and rarely have contact with other magic forces. At that time, they also entered the vision of all the magic forces in Europe because of an accident.

At that time, it was the peak of witch hunting in Europe. A team of paladins hunted two famous witches and followed them all the way to the suburbs of Augsburg. They met a group of teenagers hunting in the forest. Originally, the knights were setting up an ambush and preparing to ambush the two powerful witches according to the intelligence. They didn't want to pay attention to the group of dboys who obviously looked like the second ancestor of the nobles. They never thought that several teenagers met deer in the forest, so they gambled and fought. One of the teenagers was not good at archery and shot in the air repeatedly. He was laughed at by his companions for a moment. It's tough. What's the point of shooting like this? I just need to wave my hand gently, and I can let the fleeing deer automatically come and wait for me to kill it at will.

The other teenagers didn't believe it and laughed at the teenager for talking big. The teenager took out a piece of yellow paper and put it between his fingers for a moment. After a moment, he shook it gently. The yellow paper immediately turned into ashes, and saw that the fleeing deer really gathered back from all directions and gathered obediently beside the teenager and did not escape. The teenagers were amazed and admired when they saw it, but the ambush paladins were extremely angry when they saw it. At this time, the witch hunting storm swept through Europe. Although the witches were mainly hunted, the wizards with them will not be let go. Even with the thousand-year inheritance of the Wizards Guild, they have to temporarily force the Holy See to hide into the ground at this time. Like the wizards' guild, it has a long inheritance, and its power is staggered. The relationship with the royal aristocracy in Europe is unclear. Once it is hidden underground, the Holy See can't easily find it out. What's more, the Holy See just wants to use the witch hunt to further consolidate its voice in the European continent, and it doesn't really want to take the European continent in one fell swoop. The major magic forces kill cleanly, and he doesn't have that strength, so he just turns a blind eye to the real big forces. As long as it doesn't affect the witch hunting movement, it's up to them. The main ones who kill are those wild witches who have no foundation, no background, such as divination gypsy women and so on.

Since there are so many scruples, as the main paladins, especially the captains of the paladins of each team, the distribution of magic forces across Europe is clear, in case they accidentally poke the hornet's nest. However, there is no power in the Augsburg area, because it belongs to the border area of the traditional sphere of influence between the Wizards Guild and the Salvation Army. In order to avoid unnecessary conflicts, both sides deliberately collected and vacated it. On the other hand, the Fuge family in Augsburg is the gold owner behind the kings of Western Europe. The actual influence in the secular world is greater than that of the Holy See. At that time, the major magic forces did not use the combination of spells and modern technology to make a lot of money like this. Even the Holy See was poor. Selling indulgences to live, everyone was poor and stingy. Seeing that the rich man was a little shorter, at that time, the owner of the Fuge family, who was named Jack II, knew the hatred of the mage in the whole European continent, so all forces basically did not gather near Augsburg.

After the rise of the witch hunting movement, many witches fled to Augsburg, hoping to get a respite in the place where there were no other magic forces. It was not easy for the Holy See to hit the Fuge family face to face, and the paladins sent to hunt down secretly sneaked in.

This time, the paladin who chased the witch is an expert on this kind of secret task. For the characteristics of each method, it is clear. At a glance, it can be seen that the spell used by this teenager does not belong to any major power. It is strange and strange. It is obvious that he is from a wild road, so he quietly marked it and only waits to kill the two witches before calculating. .

This paladin is the master of the Holy See, which is quietly marked. The teenager is unaware of it. He just shows off his means among a group of noble teenagers. The noble teenagers are eager to see and want to learn one after another, but the teenager said that the ancestral ability of this family should not have been shown in front of everyone, but also His partner kept it secret, otherwise he would be known by his uncle. He would have to suffer, and everyone would have to suffer. The young uncle thought he was a very famous person. Hearing the teenager mention, other noble teenagers were nervous for a while and said that they would never spread it. The teenager also said that these deer were called by me. It was too cruel to kill them. Now let the deer go. Even if his spell seized the momentum, everyone agreed. The teenager left only one young deer beside him, and the rest were released by the spells. He laughed and said that Princess Margaret's birthday was just in time to give the young deer as a gift.

The paladin listened and was also secretly shocked to see that this group of teenagers were of extraordinary origin and were still afraid of the power of the casting uncle. Just mentioning it, they panicked and couldn't help thinking about whether there was a wild witch sneaking into the aristocratic circle in Augsburg? Then I began to think about it carefully. For a moment, I didn't notice the Princess Margaret mentioned by the casting teenager. You should know that the name Margaret was really a little continental. At that time, several royal princesses called this name, and some small royal families had not yet been put in the eyes of the paladin.
