Chapter 2631 Distant Call
The next level 9 Necromancer magic that Joan read is "Energy Absorption", an upgraded version of the 4th level "Weak Energy". Negative energy rays cause 25 energy level necrotic damage to the subject, and can also be used to heal the undead. biology.
Those killed by the "weak energy" will become ghouls, and the creatures killed by the "energy absorption" will be transformed into vampires-in fact, this is how Cain was defeated by the "spiritual lich" in the first place. Maier transforms into a "Vampiric Mind Flayer".
The last 9-level necromancy spell recorded in Joan's spell book is Mitra's signature spell "Dark Explosion", which is equivalent to the negative energy version of "Sun Flame Explosion".
After learning "Dark Explosion", Qiao An can be regarded as a perfect substitute for Mitra's identity, and she no longer has to worry about revealing her flaws.
Qiao An took a look at the 20 9-level spells, grouped them according to different priorities, and planned to study them in depth next.
However, at this moment, a prompt came from "Myth Alert"—a person he valued very much, who was dying at this time, was calling his name, hoping to see him for the last time before he died.
Joan immediately put away the spell book, and traced the "last words" detected by "Myth Alert" in reverse, eager to know who was still thinking about him at the last moment of his life.
The results of the investigation nearly stopped his heart.
It turned out to be Audrey!
What happened to her? !
Joan quickly took out the "remote viewing mirror" and locked Audrey's current position!
The image presented by the mirror gradually changed from blurred to clear. During this short waiting time, Joan couldn't help but feel anxious, fidgeting, and secretly prayed that there would be time to save Her Royal Highness.
...
Since the start of the "War of Independence" in the New World in the summer of 1626, the King of Canaan secretly joined forces with the Kolas Empire to contract 90% of the arms import orders of the Continental Army, making a fortune. However, in public diplomatic occasions, the Canaanite authorities remained neutral , dare not publicly turn against Fei Zhen, the "Empire on which the sun never sets".
Audrey received a letter from her younger brother from the New World, fascinated by the cruel and magnificent war scenes described by Holden in the letter, and eager to return to the New World to fight side by side with her friends.
Queen Judy overheard her daughter's plan, and reprimanded her with a straight face.
"You are already a big girl who is almost twenty years old, why are you still messing around like a wild boy all day! If you dare to run around again, you will be sent to a monastery and locked up for a whole year!"
As she got older, Audrey felt more and more that the superficial title of "princess" restricted her freedom, and the generation gap between her parents and her parents became deeper and deeper, so that the gap between the two generations Can't communicate calmly at all.
The father is too busy to care about his daughter, and the queen mother is the kind of woman with a strong "desire to control". She has to make up for her children in every detail. She thinks she is caring for her children, but in fact she is imposing her own likes and dislikes on them .
If Audrey was in a hurry to refute, her mother would blame her for "talking back" and said, "Mom is an experienced person and knows more than you. If you don't listen to me, you will suffer in front of you."
These clichéd preaching made Audrey's ears grow calluses, and sometimes she couldn't help but envy Holden.
Although the illegitimate child was discriminated against, at least he was more free than her, and he could leave as he wanted, and no matter how angry the stepmother was, it was inconvenient to intervene in discipline.
Filled with grievances, Audrey ran to her elder brother and sister-in-law for help, hoping that they would help her persuade her parents to allow her to go to the New World to arrest her brother who had run away from home.
As a result, things backfired, and both Colofa and Maria also advised her not to go to the New World now, lest she be involved in the war and lose herself.
In fact, Audrey just wanted to join the army and fight, and looking for her younger brother was just an excuse. Of course, she wouldn't listen to her brother-in-law's persuasion.
There was no bosom friend in the royal family, and the frustrated princess ran to the embassy to complain to her idol, Countess Josephine Antoinette de Poissons.
As early as this spring, the Countess attended the Second Continental Congress and was one of the very few women who left her signature on the Declaration of Independence. It is the "mother" of the new republic.
Later, under the suggestion of her, Adams, Franklin and others, the Continental Congress established a "Foreign Affairs Committee" to be responsible for seeking foreign aid. Mrs. Josephine also went to battle in person, and was appointed by the Continental Congress as the envoy to the capital of the Seablue Kingdom.
From the beginning of summer to the end of autumn, in the past six months, she had flourished in the social circle of the upper class of Patus, but unfortunately she had not made much progress in foreign affairs.
On the one hand, the Hailan authorities are afraid of the powerful Fizhen fleet. On the other hand, they also consider that their country also has a large number of colonies overseas. If they support the colonists of the New World to rebel against the suzerain country, they will definitely burn themselves. Therefore, they have been reluctant to recognize the mainland. The Conference is a legitimate regime.
Mrs. Josephine also learned through her friends in the Hailan royal family that governments all over the world are now paying close attention to the wars that broke out in the New World. Asan, Hailan and Baoshihua, who belong to the imperialist colonial system, are out of the need to maintain their countries in the colonies. For the sake of their own interests, they are unwilling to disrupt the existing international order.
In the east of the Old World, neither the Canaan Kingdom nor the new Kolas Empire had much overseas interests, and they were more motivated to support the Continental Army and challenge Feizhen's hegemony in the New World.
Mrs. Josephine wrote to Sir William Nichols, the chairman of the Continental Congress, hoping to be transferred to Bethlehem or Fort Colas to win the support of the Canaanites and the Far East.
Sir Nichols and his colleagues quickly made a decision to appoint Mrs. Josephine as an envoy to Bethlehem, and to replace the envoy stationed in Kolasburg with Mr. Franklin who had just been expelled from the country by the Fijian authorities. Avalon, the capital, was sued in a lawsuit, accused of being a traitor spy, and was almost thrown into prison.
Mrs. Josephine also heard a rumor from a friend in the Continental Congress that made her dumbfounded.
The reason why the representatives of the conference appointed her as an envoy to Canaan instead of the Far East was out of a ridiculous concern:
His Majesty the Emperor of the Far East is a well-known playboy, and the Countess is the most attention-grabbing romantic widow in the diplomatic circles. The representatives are worried that this pair of "dry firewood" will get together and hinder public affairs due to personal affairs.
The rumor initially annoyed Lady Josephine, who felt her professionalism had been insulted.
But calm down and think about it carefully, the concerns of the representatives of the Continental Congress are not completely unreasonable.
If I really went to Kourasberg to take up the post, and unfortunately won the heart of His Majesty the Emperor, if I refused cruelly and made His Majesty love hate, wouldn't it be a drag on my diplomatic mission?
