Eagle Byzantium

The emperor left his son's study, followed by the inner palace guards carrying axes and spears, passed through the audience hall with 1,300 arched columns and exquisite paintings on it, stepped on the marble floor, and walked towards Basilisa and Walk to the Lion Hall where he lives.

At this time Macianias was walking towards him, but according to the usual practice, he did not apply for permission in advance and was not allowed to approach the emperor who was walking towards Balsa Lisa's palace, so the gatekeeper Muzafiadin stopped him , but Gawain saw the young man’s eyes , he seemed to understand Markianias’s difficulties, and said to Markianias in a very considerate tone, “Don’t forget that you are both Helena’s wedding guard knight and the empire’s loyal inner palace guard. In the future, you will always Still belongs to the Roman Empire.”

This sentence directly clarified Markianias's position. The young guard turned around and immediately lowered his head and admitted his mistake, "Thank you for your guidance, Your Majesty. I will keep my responsibilities in mind for the rest of my life."

When the emperor passed through the candlesticks and screens and disappeared across the courtyard, Macianius came out again and took charge of the steps and door. At this time, a guard from Axum came and spoke in a somewhat lame way. Greek asked him, "Nihao, my name is Yekuluo. I am a noble of the Kingdom of Amhara. Now the emperor allows me to work here."

Markianias saw that this man had dark skin. Although he was wearing a Roman-style plate armor, he still had a rooster feather on his shoulder strap. He knew that this man was equivalent to a "trainee" sent to Rome by the Axum Empire. , and shook hands with him politely, and replied in fluent Greek: "Hello, my name is Markianias, I am the golden patriarch of Ogus in the Roman Empire, and now I am the inner palace guard with the famous blue robe. Identity is the same as yours.”

Under the firelight of the stone wall, Yeku Luo felt very cordial, and turned around to stand with Markianias, and then said, "Dear Markianis, do you know? I was also selected by the Empire Augustus as the crown prince's bodyguard. In the future, I will have to hesitate whether to go back or become a naturalized person in Constantinople, the most beautiful city.”

At this moment Macianias smiled, raised his eyebrows and twisted the star badge on his breastplate with his hand, which meant that I had long been a member of the Augustus Guards.

In the palace room of the Lion's Hall, Anna laughed and said to Gawain, "Oh my God, have you just seen the thoughts of this silly boy Macianias now?"

"He is so pitiful..." Gawain said with some sympathy as he turned his back, took off his burqa and hung it in the hanger.

"Then what's your attitude?" Anna asked curiously.

The little sunfish next to her stared at the box that Gawain brought specially and placed on the table, and her eyes were also full of curiosity, because Gawain specifically asked her to come here before, "I must show Agnes the King of Justice." She will definitely like what you leave for me.”

Over there, Gawain, who approached and sat down, also said with some hesitation, "Actually, I know that no matter how deeply Macianias loves Helena, Helena will not accept marriage with this child. Helena hopes to be a queen with power and glory, so I just met Macianias and told him not to forget that you are still a part of the Roman Empire. "

"Is our child Helena a snobbery then?"

"It's human nature." Gawain did not blame his daughter. In addition, he also knew how important the marriage with the Kingdom of Jerusalem was.

Anna laughed and leaned against the pillows of the couch to admire herself proudly, "Yes, after all, someone like me who had the courage to elope with you when you were just a minor officer is simply unbelievable in the eyes of ordinary people! You know At that time, I was also the eldest princess of the empire, the princess in purple - by the way, you said the relics of King Fair..."

"Yes, to be precise, it was something given to me by Mr. Tong, the eunuch of the Imperial Song Dynasty." Only then did Gao Wen remember it, so he walked to the table and opened the box, revealing Zhao Ji's second painting.

"He can be regarded as the Narsus of the Song Dynasty." Anna praised her former enemy so highly, and also came over to observe the paintings of the former Daojun Emperor of the Song Dynasty.

But after the scroll was unfolded, Anna realized that it was not a painting, or that it did not have the characteristics of a normal art painting. The paintings inside were not flowers, plants, figures, birds, fish, or even landscapes and palaces.

"This, this seems to be a device!" When Anna was still confused, Agnes, who was proficient in engineering, lowered her voice and was a little excited - because just by her instinct, she could tell that this was a device. The most exquisite machine in the world.

"More powerful than water and wind machines..." Agnes' face turned pale after judging this.

"Then according to this drawing, can we make a small prototype first?" Gawain asked.

Agnes gritted her teeth gently and nodded, "But the source of its power..."

"There are records of coal in natural history and natural history books. But this material is not good at all in the empire, so in the future we will expand to the Wallachia region to obtain this precious resource."

Then looking at Anna and Agnes, Gawain sighed and said that this drawing seemed to be drawn with the wisdom of Song craftsmen. It may be that Zhao Ji and Tong Guan took advantage of Gaotang's technological army before their destruction. It took several years of hard work and blood to get it. Tong Guan always carried it during the Western Expedition, hoping to get it out after he established his foothold, but his luck was not good.

On the eve of complete destruction, Tong Guan added a small note in his statement (Guo Yaoshi didn't pay any attention to it) in the hope that I would treat the Song captives well, asking me to pay attention to the two paintings of Emperor Zhao Ji, probably hoping that I would make this kind of equipment and make up for the gap with Gaotang in the future, which would be a relief for him.

Then, Gawain handed the picture to Agnes.

After the little sunfish left, Gawain looked around the curtains that covered the surroundings, and took out the first painting of Zhao Ji, the one with the text "Nine Heavens Mysterious Woman".

I saw the correct version in 1619 Book Bar!

Anna's face turned pale, she stared at Zhao Ji's painting in a daze, and couldn't help but exclaimed, "It's her!"

"That's right." Gawain was calmer.

Anna immediately felt dizzy. She stepped back a few steps and fell on the couch. Then Gawain hurried forward and hugged his wife in his arms.

"Big Barbarian, sometimes I think that the struggles in the world, countless glories and sufferings, are probably just a game and gamble of Satan." Anna said slowly, stroking Gawain's beard with her fingers, "In fact, I also have a contract, which was made before you went on the expedition to the Oxus River."

Then Anna murmured, I stood on the top of the Bulherna Palace to see you off on the expedition. At that time, a woman in a crow-like robe appeared behind me. Yes, she had appeared in my dreams many times before. She was a powerful female demon, the Lord of Hell, the leader of our destiny, and the agent of Satan. She was omnipotent-then she told me that you got an empire because of the contract with her, but the time for repayment has come. She will end your life within the deadline and take your soul.
