Paris, Palace of Versailles.
"Caesar has nothing to worry about."
In the bright room, Napoleon, who was wearing a blue lace dress with a white lining, picked up the red wine glass on the table, shook it gently, and said to Marshal Virgil standing in front of him: "Believe me, he will be fooled." The Sardinians were completely defeated."
Marshal Virgil, who was holding a boat-shaped military cap in his hand, was still a little worried: "But after all, he is Gaius Caesar, the legendary big man. When ancient Rome was able to develop into an empire, he had a contribution that cannot be ignored... And...and he calls himself the Governor of Gaul.”
"Governor of Gaul...."
Hearing this slightly ironic title, Napoleon was not angry, but laughed: "The original Caesar was indeed the governor of Gaul. This is indelible history. We should admit it, face it, and look directly at it. Instead of running away.”
Napoleon stood up, took the wine glass and walked to the world map standing in the corner. He took a sip of the sobered red wine and said with deep eyes: "There are always two kinds of people in life - the strong and the weak. If you think you are one If there is only a mouse, then there is only one final result, which is to become food for the cat.”
"Caesar is a strong man, and I am also a strong man. There is always sympathy between strong men and strong men. I admire him and sympathize with him."
"The Kingdom of Sardinia he took over was a country composed of a bunch of drunkards. Bismarck has a saying that I like very much. He said that the smartest man in the world is the one who can see himself and the enemy clearly, and he can see the Kingdom of Sardinia clearly. , He who is not deceived by his false appearance must be the wisest among the wise.”
Napoleon stared down at the wine glass and said quietly: "To make a good bottle of wine, you need a good year with plenty of water and sunshine, a storage room with a balanced dryness and wetness, sherry barrels exuding the fragrance of oak, and a skilled craftsman... ..The same goes for governing a country.”
"Looking at the situation in the Kingdom of Sardinia, no matter how hard Caesar tried, he could not awaken the people's fighting spirit. They were just a nation that was greedy for pleasure and completely sunk. As long as they were given enough noodles and ham, they could be completely eliminated."
"It is my honor to live in the same era as Caesar. It is my regret that this opponent who I respect can only receive the support of the Kingdom of Sardinia..."
Napoleon sighed, drank the red wine in the glass, shook his head and said: "The wine is good wine, but it's a pity that it's sobered up and becomes as sour as vinegar. How can it be eaten? What a pity... What a pity!"
Returning to his desk, Napoleon took out the quill from the ink bottle. Just as he was about to start handling government affairs, he suddenly remembered that Marshal Virgil was still there. He raised his head and said: "Go and inform the Wisdom Cult if Anatole wants to get the Tears of the Siren." With the key left by Neleyinda, I must defeat the Romanov Kingdom. I need them to pass all the policies I will implement next. Everyone, regardless of official position or status, must obey my command, including the God of Wisdom. Anatole, when I need her, she must take action.”
When Marshal Virgil heard Napoleon calling Anatole by his first name without using prefixes or honorifics, he broke into a cold sweat and said quickly: "Your Majesty, do you have any respect for Anatole, the God of Wisdom?" ....kind of..."
"My mission is to bring the Gauls to the top of the world. Helping the church is just incidental. If Anatole doesn't like my temper, she can send me back to the grave." Napoleon said calmly: "I have already died once. Death cannot make me bow down, and the same goes for Anatole."
Virgil was shocked by Napoleon's confidence and arrogance, and it took him a long time to feel relieved. Yes, if a leader is not extremely confident, how can he firmly blaze his own path?
As Napoleon once said, everything must be unified and decisive. Therefore, victory is not on the side of wisdom, but on the side of confidence.

In Napoleon's eyes, no one was his enemy. Even the Romanov Kingdom, which defeated him back then, could only be regarded as his opponent.
The real enemy....is himself.
Continuously defeating and surpassing himself is what he has practiced throughout his life.
"I understand, Your Majesty." Virgil nodded and bowed: "I will bring your words to the Wisdom Religion verbatim, but there is one more thing I came here for this time, which is for negotiations on Kiev, Warsaw, and Helsinki. Regarding matters, the recent negotiations have not been going very smoothly, and they have never been able to enter the decision-making stage..."
"Well...."
Warsaw, Kiev, and Helsinki are all very important strategic areas. Napoleon knew that the Romanov Kingdom would not easily give up the sovereignty of these three areas. This was also the direct reason why the negotiations could not proceed. The other party should be delaying time, but ....
Delay for what time?
No matter what the other party wants to do, we cannot let it go.
“As for the negotiations, we need to skip the diplomats and meet directly with the king of the Romanov Kingdom, but it is obvious that direct contact between the king and the king is risky and dangerous, and the other party may not agree... ..Virgil, go ask the Wisdom Cult and let them think of a solution."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
.................................................................
"Father, you are back."
After dealing with the remaining undead in the Pechora Forest, Mavey returned to Mosk as quickly as possible because he received a report that an ambassador from Paris was visiting and wanted to comment on matters related to Warsaw, Kiev, and Helsinki. A multi-country meeting will be held between kings and kings in person, and the pope can also participate.
In order to support Katerina, Mavey immediately returned to Mosk and met Katerina and Bonaparte's imperial ambassador Bonova in the Kremlin.
After nodding and exchanging glances with Katerina, Mavie and Junia sat on the sofa and asked, "What important matters does His Majesty Napoleon have?"
"His Majesty the Pope, Your Majesty the King..." Bonois, who had a shiny head straight up, straightened his clothes and said in a very gentle tone: "A few days ago, the Emperor of the Bonaparte Empire, the great Napoleon "His Majesty Bonaparte made some suggestions on the issue of territorial sovereignty in the three regions."
"He believed that the negotiation process was too slow, and diplomats could not clearly express his thoughts, so he wanted to unite leaders of the Kingdom of Windsor, the Kingdom of Frederick, the Roman Republic, the United Kingdom of Riviera, the Barbarossa Empire and other related countries to launch a A meeting.”
"In order to ensure the fairness, fairness, safety and confidentiality of the talks, this meeting will adopt a special method..."
Bonova took out a letter from his arms: "This letter contains ancient magic - the specific use of the Hall of the Gods. I believe that Pope Marvey is no stranger to the Hall of the Gods. The leaders of various countries will pass The Hall of the Gods uses the statue of Anatole as a medium to conduct long-distance connections.... Ah, please don't worry about safety issues. The Hall of the Gods cannot harm participants. This is just a special communication magic. , the effect is similar to an oracle, if you two are not at ease, you can ask the goddess to accompany you to the meeting."
The Chamber of the Gods....
Mavey thought of the magic altar in the darkroom of Archbishop Henry's bedroom. He had indeed obtained Anatole's wooden statue and the white silkworm. He could connect to the Hall of Gods through the statue. As for the danger, there was a high probability that there would be no danger.
Even if they had, Anatole could not harm them in Junia's presence.
"What if we refuse to attend the meeting?" Katerina asked.
"If the Romanov Kingdom refuses to participate in the meeting, then other kingdoms may think that the Romanov Kingdom has the potential intention to launch a war. To guard against this, I am afraid that all countries will send troops to the border..."
Katerina frowned, and just as she was about to speak, Mawei said first: "We can participate in the meeting starting on October 1, but I have a question."
"Your Majesty the Pope, please speak."
"The letter says that extraordinary creatures like the 'Oracle Silkworm' are needed to activate the Council of the Gods. I don't have one on hand. Have you brought it?"
Ambassador Bonois was stunned for a moment: "Didn't Archbishop Henry leave an oracle silkworm behind?"
"Archbishop Henry died on the battlefield, how do I know where the Oracle Silkworm has gone?"
"I see...I will report the oracle's words to Silkworm. I believe someone will send it to you soon. Please wait patiently."
Having achieved his goal, Bonova stood up, pressed his fingers between his eyebrows, and said in a respectful tone:
"Then I take my leave, and may the meeting proceed smoothly and peace reign over the land."
After sending Bonova away, Katerina said: "Father, it seems they can't wait any longer."
"Yes, in order to split the Romanov Kingdom, they really took great pains and roped in all the surrounding countries. They just wanted to divide the cake of Warsaw, Kiev, and Helsinki, but..."
Ma Wei sneered: "It seems that the Wisdom Cult did not tell Napoleon all of their plans, otherwise Napoleon would definitely not have convened this multinational meeting."
"What's the meaning?"
"Four years ago, the Cult of Wisdom sent a merchant ship into the Sea of Death, and it happened to be bumped into by the Saint-Martial fleet where I was. If it hadn't been for the Battle of Perea that broke out later, I'm afraid not many people would know about it... ..Using this opportunity, I want to present some information that can be leaked in person."
Katerina's eyes lit up: "You want to take the opportunity to provoke conflicts within the churches?"
"Compared with the sovereignty of several pieces of land, I think they are more interested in the keys left by Neleyinda. The Wisdom Cult...I am afraid they will shoot themselves in the foot this time."
