Charlotte Millet, the head witch of Port Royal, was working in the governor's office in the former city hall at this time.
wrong! At this time, there should be no governor in Port Royal. Now, it would be more appropriate to call this place the office of the Chief Consul of Port Royal.
Charlotte is now not only the chief consul of Port Royal, she is also the high priest of the Flame God Cult she newly created. She is responsible for all military and political affairs here in Port Royal, as well as in charge of the teaching affairs of the Flame God Cult and the Flame God Cult. She is currently serving as the principal of the witch college under construction.
At this time, Charlotte Millie was wearing an exquisite and tight-fitting golden full-body armor, sitting behind the main seat in the office and reading some official documents on her skin.
The exquisite and compact armor showed off her perfect and concave body. On the front of her golden breastplate, there were five small burning red flowers printed with enchantment just like their magic flags. The flames, coupled with her original beauty, and her confident and fierce temperament after she began to master some magic, all these factors combined make her, an upright girl in her best years, as beautiful as heaven. Like a descending war angel!
It is precisely because of this that in the past two months, with the bonus of her own charm, under her cheers and the absolute strength she showed, countless young men and women willingly bowed down to the Flame God. Under the glory of the religion, the Flame God Cult, which she built with her own hands and led by witches, quickly took shape.
Perhaps the reason why she was able to do so smoothly was also related to the customs here in the New World.
People here, especially young people, are more receptive to new things and have a crazy element in them that is willing to take risks. For those people, let alone seeking refuge with witches, if there was a big enough temptation, they would probably sign up enthusiastically to change jobs and become pirates, right?
After all, this is not the European continent. Anyone who dares to come to the New World or come to the Caribbean to make a living has already put life and death aside? Since taking refuge in witches can gain power and wealth, they have no reason to refuse.
Besides, the sky is high and the emperor is far away here in the New World, and the witches are so powerful, you can’t go wrong with finding these thick thighs to cuddle up with!
You know, people's witch propaganda said that their fire goddesses have come to the mortal world to spread magic, but what about the angels of the church? Until now, they only exist on murals. Therefore, young people who are bold and unwilling to be lonely will know how to choose by comparing themselves.
Benedict! Benedict! Benedict!
While Charlotte was approving a document, there were three short and clear knocks on the door.
"The door is unlocked, come in."
Hearing someone knocking on the door, Charlotte had to put down the quill in her hand, leaned back slightly on the back of her chair, changed to a comfortable sitting position, and looked at the original Weatherby Swann who opened the door and walked in. Governor.
However, he is no longer a governor. Port Royal does not currently have the position of governor. He is now just an assistant consul in Port Royal, under the command of Chief Consul Charlotte, who is responsible for apportioning some royalties. Hong Kong’s miscellaneous government affairs.
In these days, Charlotte only relied on the cooperation of the highly respected Weatherby Swann in front of her to become initially familiar with government affairs and gradually took control of the entire Port Royal. Until now, there are many things that are still inseparable from her. She is very satisfied with the other party, this old nobleman who is skilled in government affairs. With him here, he can help her a lot.
Especially after Charlotte personally deceived the other party's daughter, the restless Miss Elizabeth, his only daughter, and brought her into the Cult of Fire to teach magic, completely branding her as a witch, this veteran of the British Empire The nobles also began to serve Charlotte and the Flame Cult wholeheartedly.
After all, he has no way out now, right?
At that time, if he is still willing to give up his precious daughter and return to China alone, then this will mean that Charlotte's plan has failed. Anyway, she wasn't afraid that the old noble would see through her plan. She had deliberately absorbed Miss Elizabeth into the Flame God Cult and publicized it. What could he do other than accept his fate?
"What's the matter? Archon Swan?"
Charlotte asked, then continued to look down at the document.
Among their witches, there are only a few who are literate, and even fewer know how to handle government affairs. It can even be said that there is no reliable one at the moment!
Now the Flame God Cult's career has just developed, and talents and the like still need time to be cultivated slowly. Therefore, in addition to doing many things personally, she must also rely on the former governor.
"Lord Charlotte! The construction work of the witch college outside the city is nearing completion. When will you be free to check it out?"
Weatherby Swan looked at the girl sitting in his original office and lowered his head slightly.
He looked at the witch leader and chief executive, and sighed softly in his heart. He had seen this young woman's skills and abilities during this period of time.
Although she still seems a little immature when dealing with some things, there is no doubt that this girl is a powerful guy. Not only does she have strong power, she is also greedily learning about political affairs. There are many things They can all get started quickly, which is obvious to all.
What if she wasn't a witch and didn't turn her daughter Elizabeth into a witch? I will definitely try my best to train her and recommend her to a young noble in the upper echelons of the kingdom, right?
"I understand. If I have time, I will go and check it."
Charlotte didn't comment, nor did she say when she would go for acceptance, she just responded.
The Witch Academy is related to her layout and is very important. It is impossible not to pay attention to it!
Therefore, in order to build this huge witch college, she also specially arranged to re-plan and build it on a highland outside the city of Port Royal, covering an area of dozens of acres!
In the plan, in addition to a small wall surrounding the witch college, there is also a main castle and several three-story small and medium-sized buildings. Originally, she thought it would take a long time, but she didn't expect that it was almost completed in less than two months?
"Why is it so fast? Is there any problem with the quality?"
Charlotte didn't know much about architecture, so she added a question out of concern for the college.
"You know, because there is a group of pirates who do not need to eat, drink, sleep, and are not afraid of injury or death as coolies. Moreover, they have been enchanted by you and do not dare to be lazy or escape casually, so... the construction process is much faster."
Weatherby Swann shrugged his shoulders and answered easily.
No matter who has dozens of coolies who are not afraid of death and work hard day and night, coupled with sufficient materials and funds, it will be difficult not to think fast! And if you hire normal workers to work, they won't be able to work for long every day. Plus the time for eating, drinking and resting, the efficiency will definitely not be comparable to those of skeleton pirates.
"Oh...it turns out to be those pirates. It seems that they are of some use!"
Charlotte's eyes narrowed slightly, and she decided that she would continue to enslave these villains and never give them freedom easily.
Now, in addition to the original curse on the Aztec gold coins, Charlotte has used her half-baked magic mark to curse each other, just like the one in Norrington's hand. If they dare to run, then they will be burned alive by the magic flames!
In the past two months, she has actually not only planned a witch college outside the city, but also built the first cathedral belonging to the Flame God Cult at the location of the original church in the city, which will be used for their missionary work.
What? You have to ask where the original church is?
Of course it was burned to the ground by Charlotte! Do you think the oath she swore was a joke? !
On the first night after Little Anne and the others sailed out to sea, Charlotte led people to burn the original church to the ground, and all the priests with bad deeds were also thrown into the fire. The inside was burned, and the rest were forcibly expelled from Port Royal.
As the saying goes: It’s never too late for a gentleman to take revenge, but it’s never too late for a witch to take revenge that night!
Their church, after provoking a group of women, and a group of witches with magical powers, does it still want to live well? Now in Port Royal, those church members have become wanted criminals. They are dying and running away, and they no longer have a foothold.
"By the way! How is the site selection for the Flame Palace going?"
After thinking about a few unrelated things, Charlotte asked about the thing that concerned her most.
On the high mountain of Port Royal, she will be the co-leader of the witches, the only true god of the Cult of Fire, the supreme goddess who brings light and fire to their witches, the sole leader of the Cult of Fire, Her Majesty Anne Hastur. Build a magnificent palace of the goddess.
This matter has been decided long ago, and there is no room for sloppiness!
"Um...Ms. Charlotte, there is really nothing we can do about this matter at the moment!"
Weatherby Swan secretly wiped the cold sweat from his head. He knew that the other party would definitely mention this matter again.
You know, the materials, gold coins and manpower required to build a majestic palace are a huge astronomical figure... Even if hundreds of pirates who are not afraid of death come to help!
Even if the manpower can keep up, the materials will definitely not be able to keep up. It will be a long-lasting and costly project!
"Building the Flame Church and the Witches Academy outside the city, plus paving the road leading to the Witches Academy with stone slabs, has consumed most of the materials and gold coins. Currently, the treasury in Port Royal is almost empty. It’s money!”
Thinking of this, Weatherby Swann was so anxious that he had to take out his handkerchief and wipe the sweat on his forehead.
"Moreover, in recent days, you have equipped hundreds of divine knights and many combat witches. Those armors, weapons and horses that need to be specially customized all cost money... We are almost here now. No money, Lady Charlotte!”
Weatherby Swann began to complain, these witches, they were really able to spend money.
When they asked to hurry up and build the armor, he strongly opposed it!
When he thought about it, an armored cavalry cost more than dozens of gold coins just for a complete set of equipment, war horses and vests? This is too outrageous. Now is the era of muskets and artillery. What's the use of those armored cavalry? That's a waste of money!
"Run out of money? So soon?"
Charlotte was a little surprised. She was not very versed in these large financial matters.
She remembered very clearly that there were still many gold coins in the vault! That's why she ordered the creation of the Guardian Knights, and also built a witch college. But she didn't expect that the mountains of gold coins in the vault would be spent so quickly?
"We really have no money! Sir! I don't know where the cost of purchasing materials for the next stage will come from yet!"
Weatherby Swann flipped through the financial data in his hand. After turning to a certain page, he spread it out in front of Charlotte.
"Lord Charlotte, you'd better see for yourself."
He didn't want to explain anything anymore.
During this period of time, the witches have formed an army, built churches and colleges, and purchased a large amount of construction materials at high prices. Coupled with the operation and consumption of other government departments, it is simply a waste of money. It is really a waste of money. money!
"More than one million gold coins were spent? Is it possible to spend so much? Don't those pirates not have to pay wages?"
Charlotte's eyes widened. She didn't expect that she would spend so much money in just two months?
Now they have only built a witch college, a flame church, and formed some armies. Why did they spend so much?
"..."
After the two were silent for a while, Charlotte was at a loss.
"Weatherby, please tell me, which is the most prosperous and wealthy city closest to Port Royal?"
Charlotte's eyes narrowed slightly, then she said something that made Wetherby Swann frightened.
She has decided that if she has no money, she will grab it!
Anyway, sooner or later the power of their witches will expand, and sooner or later they will radiate and occupy the entire Caribbean and even the entire New World!
Since they will have to fight sooner or later, they should take advantage of the moment and continue to find a rich port to occupy. Then, within a short period of time, they will no longer have to worry about money.
Boom~! Boom~! Boom~!
Just as Chief Executive Charlotte was about to discuss with Wetherby Swann which port city they should visit to make money, there were sudden bursts of rapid bell ringing in the direction of the port.
"This bell...what's going on?"
Charlotte looked at Weatherby Swann a little doubtfully.
She seemed to have some impression of this rhythmic bell, but she couldn't remember it for a while, and she didn't understand what it meant.
"This... seems to be an alarm sounded when the enemy is about to attack the port?"
Weatherby Swann was not too sure. Port Royal seemed to have been at peace for a long time, and there had never been a large-scale enemy fleet invasion.
"Then I'll go out and ask someone now?"
Just when Wetherby Swan was about to turn around and go out to ask a soldier who was proficient in bell signaling, he found that two people suddenly pushed the door open and rushed in. The thick solid wood door frame almost hit it. his nose.
When he took a closer look, he realized that it was two girls wearing red armor and golden cloaks with anxious faces. They were two of the five leading witches.
"Koliya? Mary? Is...what happened to you?"
Seeing these two sisters, Charlotte quickly stood up.
She knew that since these two people came here in such a hurry to find her, plus the rapid ringing of the bell just now, well, something big was about to happen!
"Sister Charlotte!"
"It's the British Caribbean fleet coming! According to the soldiers who sent the order, they have about dozens of warships!"
Twelve-year-old Kolya Beaufort and fourteen-year-old Mary Chaska walked up to Charlotte together, stood at attention, performed a breast-stroking military salute and answered.
Over the past few days, they have initially gathered their own magic power, and have also learned several new spells, most of which are simple spells taught to them by Charlotte.
"Dozens of warships? Haha! It seems that someone is sending us money and coolies."
Instead of worrying, Charlotte laughed easily.
These people are really determined to give up. It seems that they still don’t know what they are going to face?
Do they still naively think that this is still an era when they can dominate the world with giant ships and cannons?
No! They are wrong!
When their fire goddess came to this world and passed down her magic, the world gradually began to change!
Now, it's time for the world to truly face the power of witches. Although most of Charlotte's magic power is obtained through contracts, these little witches under her are not very powerful, and most of them rely on magic bracelets. The spell casting ability, but compared to those ordinary people, this is enough!
"Call all the sisters and guardian knights, we will go to the port right now!"
Charlotte sneered, picked up her red cloak from the hanger, tied it, put on her golden helmet, waved her hand and walked out of the door, followed by Kolya and Mary.
She is not worried at all about the incoming large fleet this time!
When the Witch Academy just started to be built, she started recruiting witches on a large scale. With the help of dozens of magic bracelets, they now have fifty-two combat witches who can levitate and fireball. There are also nearly 800 flame knights. Their combat effectiveness is extraordinary. Not only are they equipped with long swords and short-barreled muskets enchanted with flames, but the armor on them is also not ordinary. It has been specially enchanted by Charlotte. , within a certain period of time, it can simply defend against the close-range shooting of ordinary muskets.
However, Charlotte does not plan to let the cavalry attack this time!
She believed that just dozens of fighting witches would be enough.
When the time comes, fly directly over and surround the enemy fleet. Anyone who refuses to surrender or dares to run away will be burned into a torch! And the remaining ones still dare to surrender obediently?
Therefore, she decided that in this attack, she must wipe out all the enemies! This is not only to stabilize people's hearts and stabilize their rule, but more importantly, it can also deter the hostile elements and nobles who are spying on them in the dark and are unwilling to fail!
This time, she must make the Flame God Cult famous throughout the Caribbean! It even shocked the entire New World, and even the entire European world!
She, Charlotte, wants them to know: they, the witches, will no longer be at the mercy of others! Witches are no longer the wretches tied to the cross and left to be burned and persecuted!
She swore that the flames of the Flame God Cult would let the enemies know what kind of existence a real witch was!
From now on, the time for their witches' revenge has arrived!
