Eagle Byzantium

"Ha, angry!? To be honest, I have seen more than you have experienced. What kind of battles have I not participated in in my first thirty years of life? Anna, what you are doing is the worst kind of demolition. 'Do you understand, do you understand the malicious splitting of shares and the mixing of sand? You hate me so much, now obediently issue a new order to restore the status of the Red Hand Company, return the company to its position, and hand over the Pilgrim Armed Regiment to Gottschalk again... .Otherwise, I have your good looks!”

The lawn under the laurel tree is full of greenery. Gawain is sitting cross-legged by the roots of the tree with a gentle expression. Anna is lying on his shoulder like a "good daughter". The chirping of birds further sets off the tranquility and elegance of the back garden of this chapel. ——The above words are all his. "The voice of my heart", looking at Anna's bright eyes, I can only swallow it and let it rot in my stomach: a certain respected elder once said that "silence makes you rich", and Ajiehe also warned himself, "Silence is the key to success." "Gold will perish if you think about it" are all wise sayings.

Gawain swallowed the last smoke from the leaves into his mouth skillfully. This action made Anna giggle. Gawain waved to her. Anna followed his gesture and turned to the front of Gawain, but her eyes They looked at each other and immediately avoided, "You want to lure me here and take the opportunity to spray me, right?"

As a result, Gawain almost choked, so he could only suppress his guessed thoughts, twisted his neck, and sprayed a long gray trail from his nose, and Anna hugged his neck affectionately again, " Don't be angry, after all, it's just a gesture to satisfy my poor pride. Isn't the archer group composed of two brigades still yours? Hey, the throne of the royal family in the future is mine and yours."

"Then what am I, the great Roman Emperor?"

"No, I am the great Roman Empress, and you are equally great - the male empress."

Gawain really lowered his head now. He coughed violently, but Anna was still thinking longingly, "What kind of title should I invent for you then? Read it in elegant Greek. It will be very beautiful. I will also wear a purple coat for you." "How about the robe and the little crown?"

"When the time comes, I will go to Dalmatia and find a secluded farm to live in seclusion. I will never live in your palace in this capacity." Before he could finish his words, Gawain's cheek was stretched by Anna. He stretched out his hands and squeezed them hard, "You and your group of random women are not allowed to run away and have fun. Out of my sight. You will die in the palace, on your bed, with me and the children by your side, that's it! Frankly, Gawain, how many women did you have before your marriage to me? ? If you confess it to me before the priest actually presides over the ceremony, there will be no retroactive effect. "

But Gawain just smiled. "Stop talking about these nonsense, we should find a place to stay first, otherwise we will all be wiped out by your father, or the Turks, or even other pilgrims. The team has now expanded to more than 10,000 people, and the supply of food and fodder is very difficult, and the horses A large number of people died, and the combat effectiveness and orders were mixed..."

"Then let's go to the Land of Seven Ridges. According to the revelation of the dream and my guess, we are not far from it!" Anna excitedly sat in front of Gawain's knees. I couldn't hold it back and spoke out.

Then she saw Gawain's blue eyes staring at her. He suddenly came to his senses and covered his mouth with the back of his hand. Then she cooed - her slender waist was held by Gawain, and her braids were swaying everywhere, "Didn't you say that those dreams were all fabricated by you to deceive the soldiers of the Dalian Company? Are you talking to me? Lie, right... Does the person who appears in your dream have a noble and elegant appearance, with long black satin-like hair, and is wearing a black robe, beautiful but very weird? "

"Yes, yes." Anna reluctantly admitted.

"What is the hint of the land of seven ridges she mentioned?"

"Surrounded by seven high ridges on three sides and facing the golden ocean on one side, it is the birthplace of the holy apostles."

"Sure enough!" Gawain exclaimed.

Then, the entire courtyard and garden atmosphere fell silent again, leaving only the chirping of birds. Anna, who was hugged, half-opened her eyes, flashed her long eyelashes, and looked at Gawain with disdain, without answering. That expression was "Anna won't fall for your second trick."

"Well, I don't know where such a place is." Gawain saw that Anna didn't trick him into giving the answer, so he could only admit that he didn't know.

"Have you ever read the Bible, Gawain? Now I doubt whether you have ever been baptized and become a believer."

"I have indeed been baptized, but I have never read the scriptures at all. After all, I was illiterate before." Gawain hurriedly excused himself.

Anna followed Gawain's ear and whispered, "Among the twelve holy apostles of our Lord Jesus, all of them are in Judea according to their birthplaces, and eleven of them are all from the fishing villages of Galilee. Yes, only Judas is from Calvary.”

"The seven ridges are Calvary? It's a sign that we are going to the holy city of Jerusalem..." Gawain was skeptical, but then Anna held his collar seriously, "No, it's not that simple... If you and I believe this, it may be equivalent to being fooled by that female devil. I am the former purple princess of the Roman Empire who believes in the Orthodox Church. You are a Varangian with brown hair and blue eyes. Although the Western Patriarch has allowed you to be the head of the priesthood, he will never allow you to be the king of the holy city. Even if we occupy the holy city, as you predicted before, Gawain, it will also be attacked from all sides. I don't want this."

The little girl said it very coherently. Gawain nodded repeatedly, and Anna continued, "So I thought about it carefully again, and then I remembered that there is a place that is called the place where 'Jewish and Roman' are connected in ancient books... Cilicia..."

Of course, Anna read the ancient pronunciation. "Cilijia" in Greek is "Cilicia".

"Cilicia?"

"Yes!" Anna's eyes began to shine again, and she looked very proud.

Cilicia was indeed the place where the Roman Empire and Judea were "jointly connected" in ancient times. It was located at the junction of the eastern Mediterranean waterway and the Levant. Then Gawain frowned, "That holy apostle..."

"Under my Lord Jesus, in addition to the twelve apostles, there is also a Gentile apostle. Although he is also a Pharisee (a branch of the Jewish religion), he has been a Roman citizen since birth. He was born in the prosperous city of Tarsus in Cilicia. Although his writings are dazzling diamonds for my Lord Jesus, throughout his life, he humbly called himself a 'Gentile apostle like a wild olive branch' and was willing to die for 'preaching, believing, and keeping the truth'."

"That is to say, only this Gentile apostle who has both the identities of a Roman and a holy apostle is the one referred to by the female devil, and it is more in line with your current identity?" In fact, Gawain still didn't understand and was just talking nonsense.

"Hey, stop lying - I've said this, but you still don't understand. I'm referring to Saint Paul, the Gentile Apostle of Tarsus!" Anna finally reported the answer to the riddle impatiently. (To be continued ~^~)
