Eagle Byzantium

Then, the princess felt like she couldn't pull her hand out because Gawain's hand was too big and too warm. Her hand was like a small boat in a calm ocean, swinging back and forth.

The two of them "confronted" each other like this, Anna stared at her hand blankly, while Gawain still kept his head bowed and saluted - he had learned etiquette from Eudoxia very well in the past two days, and also mastered the reading and writing of several common Greek words. Mikhail, with a smirk on his face, watched from the side.

"Your Excellency, here are the files of the orphanage's operation during this period. Please take a look and stamp them as soon as possible." Several monks from the monastery next to him interrupted everything.

"Well, Gawain, you can get up. I will personally thank you soon." At this time, Anna quickly pulled out her gentle little hand with a little embarrassment, just like a small boat in the Golden Horn Bay rushed into the city canal along the sluice and left the sea, but she did not wipe her hands, because she herself felt that it was impolite to Gawain, although the royal family of the Purple Palace was used to doing so.

Under the lush outer wall of the orphanage, Anna, who had finished the inspection, sat on the cushion of the sedan chair. Mikhail lowered the gauze curtain in front of him, because there were many pedestrians on the street along the outer wall, and the eldest princess still needed to conceal her identity.

Gawain stood seven feet outside the gauze curtain. "Stephen Gawain, you have left a deep impression on me after all. Today, you can become the chief philanthropist of the orphanage and take out five gold pounds. But I am curious, didn't you follow your father's guards to join the army in Asia Minor? Then where did your money come from?"

"I just hope that the noble princess born in the purple palace will agree to one of my requests according to your promise just now." Gawain avoided answering.

"Okay... I have no reason to regret this." The princess behind the gauze curtain seemed to stick to her promise.

"My request is that the princess agree to my three requests."

"This joke is not funny at all. Even a girl of my age will not be fooled. Gawain, you barbarian from the northern wilderness!" Anna's tone was a little angry.

"Well, for fairness, we can make a bet - how to earn forty fris within an hour. If I lose, I will never ask for anything from now on."

"Very good, Mikhail." Anna said, "Give me forty fris."

"Yes, Your Excellency the Princess." Mikhail smiled and put his purse into Anna's palm.

As a result, Gawain waved his hand and denied it hastily, "No, no, no, Princess, I used the word 'earn' just now, which means giving up everything that symbolizes our status and achieving this goal with our own abilities."

As soon as the voice fell, Mikhail smiled and took the purse back.

Anna, who was pinching nothing, glared at the emperor's guard, and then her eyes began to brighten, which could be seen even through the veil. Gawain obviously judged that the adventurous girl was interested in his proposal, "Very good, am I not as good as you? You Varyag barbarian, let's compete."

"Princess, please choose what you are best at." Just as Anna took off her gorgeous clothes and beautiful jewelry, Mikhail reminded her again.

Then, the maid handed Anna a cloak from an ordinary family. As a result, even if she chose a small size, the princess's hands were still all retracted in her sleeves, and soon the common people's boots were put on. Then the princess walked in front, and Mikhail and Gawain followed. For the sake of fairness, the rest of the guards and maids continued to wait at the door of the orphanage.

Anna chose a "Sacred Book Copying House" that provides spiritual food for the citizens. Under the long corridor with raised steps on all sides, about a dozen young men were standing at their own copying tables, with templates erected, writing furiously, and copying the Bible and church sermons by manpower.

Soon, the person in charge saw a small figure standing on the steps with a bit of arrogance, and then walked over.

"Who do you hire here to copy and draw illustrations?" Anna's crisp voice made many people look back.

"Most of them are students from the law school who come to earn a subsidy salary." The person in charge saw that it was a small little girl, so he answered lazily.

"How much is the price? My mother is sick, so I urgently need medical expenses." Anna's tongue was a little hard when she lied. At this time, Mikhail, who was hiding in the corner of the street, had an expression of "this is really fun" and couldn't help laughing.

The person in charge also laughed, "If you copy the front and back of the Bible, you will get three fris. You should know that this group of students only get two per page. According to the regulations, illustrations are ten fris." This quickly caused dissatisfaction among other students, but Anna turned a deaf ear to it and walked directly to the empty table, supported herself with both hands, and climbed up, and then sat firmly on the high wooden stool with her legs still hanging.

Gawain also held back his laughter and walked to the corridor. He put his index finger against his nose and watched Anna open the ink box and then start writing. Anna wrote very seriously and quickly, but it was obvious that this place was trying to cut costs. There were so many words on one page, like countless tadpoles and earthworms.

The sun gradually set, and after an hour and a half, Anna, who was tired, finally finished the ten pages of the book and a light painting. Then she handed it in proudly, and it seemed that she would get forty frisbees.

The person in charge also appreciated Anna's speed, so he came over to inspect it, and then he picked up the page, looked at the sample on the shelf, and frowned rapidly, "Why are there many differences between what you copied and the sample."

Gao Wen below laughed and held his forehead, as if all this had been expected.

A perfect version in 1619 Book Bar!

"That's because the sample you provided has many obvious errors, and I corrected them one by one in formal and elegant Greek." Anna said confidently.

"But there is a problem with the ranking of the annotations."

"I imitated the orthodox ancient pagan poetry and rhyme and modified it. You should know that it is all vulgar text, and it took me a lot of effort."

"These texts have all changed."

"Yes, I just said that this sample is all vulgar text..."

Then, amid a chorus of laughter, Anna was grabbed by the collar and dragged out by the person in charge, "It seems that your mother's medical expenses will be deducted a lot!" As he said, the angry and helpless person in charge stuffed eight fris into her hand, "According to the requirements, I can only give you the salary of a pastel painting, and I have to deduct two fris for the cost of paper and ink."

"You are spreading irregular ideas, which is actually tampering with the words of the Lord." Anna was still standing on the steps protesting angrily. At this time, the other students who copied were all smiling, handed in their results, received the corresponding salary, and left one after another.
