Eagle Byzantium

After speaking, Ajiehe held up a shiny golden nameplate and said, "This is the second gift."

"How many gold coins is this worth? Did you ask me to settle the property here?"

"No, this thing is much more valuable than gold coins. This is the most sophisticated sundial plate in ancient times. It contains all calendars, astrology, and star charts. It is inseparable from farming, divination, and navigation. It can be said to be the most precious in the entire ancient times. treasure . Keep it in your arms and swear to cherish it as much as you care for your eyes." As he spoke, Ajiehe stretched out his hand, and Gawain took it half-heartedly. It was all engraved with detailed tracks and words. , and took it in his hand.

But Ajiehe stubbornly demanded that Gao Wen must put it into a close-fitting jacket before he gave up.

"What about the last gift?"

"That's him." Ajiehe smiled mysteriously and pointed at the dying man.

Gawain looked back, then turned back to look at Ajiehe, and then nodded, then walked towards the child's tomb, pulled out the "phosphorus fire sword", and walked towards the dying man lying there sleeping, "Anyway, it's okay Give him a happy ending and learn the language of his nation, right?"

"No, no, no, stop." Ajiehe slowly raised his hand in a very cautious tone, "You must accompany him on the next journey, no matter how you get along with him, They all have to follow this person who was dying before."

Gawain sighed, inserted the sword of phosphorous fire into the soil of the snow, and spread his hands, "Do you think he can still survive? Why should I follow this old guy in his fifties? In my dictionary, There is no word for being obedient to such a person.”

"It won't be a problem for him to survive. Believe me, I am the Lord of Hell." As Ajiehe said, he walked up to Gao Wen, whose face was covered with snow foam and mud, and who was a world-class tycoon just a moment ago, and spoke with a slender Her finger gently touched his forehead, "Because - he and that city are the keys that can help you unlock the endless wealth and power of the two oceans. Listen to my words, and you will never be wrong."

"And remember my last piece of advice, which is - talking too much will lead to failure, and your energy will not last long; silence is golden, thinking too often will lead to death."

With these words, Ajiehe walked slowly towards the depths of the forest with his bare feet until he disappeared. Gawain felt that he had become the Faust written by the great writer, and this beautiful and terrifying figure This woman is an out-and-out devil, and she herself has not denied it.

"Where am I!" But there was no answer.

Now, Gawain could only sigh. He walked to the pile of corpses and looked at the remains of these unfortunate victims. Many of them were still holding wooden crosses tightly in their hands before they died, "That's right. Well, this group should be pilgrims heading to the Holy Land, where they were attacked by Turkic cavalry. Killed, including the child just now." Thinking of this, he took out the sundial plate given by Ajiehe, with a small notch on it to mark the era and time he was living in: the thousandth Christian era. 093, this is the end of one world for him, and it is also the beginning of a new world.

At this moment, Europe has just struggled out of the despair of the "thousand-year annihilation", and the Byzantine Roman Empire has just collapsed in an unparalleled defeat. In the East, countless nomads are sitting on saddles and stepping out in the deserts and wastelands. Fine and long hooves Traces of all kinds of new forces and catastrophes are constantly pouring out from the abyss of the edges of various geographical locations. The old forces are being devastated, and the earth and history are once again placed on the anvil of fire and sword. Various different scenes have been created wantonly.

Gawain didn't have the heart to think about this, it would only make him more confused and painful. He walked slowly towards a corpse that seemed to be not yet frozen, raised the "phosphorus fire sword", and then slashed hard Go down...

"Saint George!!!" The dying man, after a moment, shouted his voice vigorously, waved the cross, sat up from the ground, howled the name repeatedly, and gasped for air.

Then he saw Gawain sitting in front of him, warming himself on the fire, and the armor of the Turkic slave soldiers, and he was immediately stunned again, "Why didn't Saint George just take you, the evil heretic, out of the desert?" The dwarf was killed?”

"I am not a pagan, nor am I a dwarf." Gawain straightened his tall figure.

"You, you actually speak Norman? Or the northern Oy language!" The old man was particularly excited, "Sir, Saint George, you are actually my country party."

"Yes, the people lying here are all your countrymen, everywhere." Gawain laughed in his heart, and then he took off the turban wrapped around his head. The old man was even more convinced of his judgment—— Gawain is a tall guy with brown hair and light blue eyes. Although his appearance is much softer than that of an orthodox Norman or Scandinavian, it is still clear that he is at least not a Crescent Christian. .

The old man stood up tremblingly, held Gawain's hand tightly, and said excitedly, "My name is Peter, I am a pilgrim and a hermit. I have experienced three years, from Hungary to Bulgaria, to Threi Now, to Constantinople, here, in the wilds of Nicaea, is to go with the other pilgrims to the Holy Land and the Holy Sepulchre, but as we The road was ruthlessly massacred, including Hungarian herdsmen, Bulgarian bandits, treacherous Greeks seeking wealth and murder along the way, and the most terrifying thing, the Seljuk Turk pagan warriors. Now the other companions have all been reduced to swords. The dead souls, may God accept and save them. Only I saw the miracle of St. George and survived. What about you, my country party?”

"Well..." Gawain casually made up a random reason, "I am also a pilgrim. I trekked from Normandy a long time ago. I was later captured and imprisoned by the Turks. I escaped this time by taking advantage of the chaos. of."

Upon hearing this, Peter immediately knelt down, raised his hands to the sky, and said with tears, "Tens of thousands of pilgrims have died or disappeared on this land. It is said that each Seljuk family has two to three Germans." men as slaves, the Seljuk sultan's court was filled with German women as slave girls, and many more People are trafficked to Africa. This is a trial given by God to believers!" Then he continued to hold Gawain's hand with stern eyes, "So I always hold a lofty ideal, that is, to eliminate the cruelty of the Holy Tomb. rescued from the hands of the infidels, for which I prepared to persuade the pilot of our ship.”

"I'm sorry, please tell me clearly, who is the pilot of the ship?" Gawain was puzzled.

Check out the 16-9 book bar to see the correct version!

“The owner of the ship is God, the helmsman is Christ, the navigator is St. Peter, the crew is the monks and priests, and the boatmen are the deacons of the church and monastery.”

With this answer, Gawain immediately understood that the "navigator" mentioned by Friar Peter was the Pope in Rome.

"Not only am I a pilot on a ship on the suffering Sea of ​​Galilee, I also want to convince the Roman Emperor in Constantinople to ask all believers to unite and complete the greatest redemption!" Peter shouted without any concealment. , "Use the sword to open the way to the Holy Sepulchre and launch a holy war that will go down in history! St. George's miracle just now is the best proof of my correct path. This war must be won and blessed by God!"
