Creed of the heavens

Stretching out her hand to pinch Katerina's chin, Lu Xiao pulled out a meaningful smile at the corner of her mouth: "Sharp-toothed girl, I will let you experience for yourself whether I have any hidden diseases."

System: "Free attribute points to use, constitution 89."

While Da Vinci waited speechlessly, Lu Xiao, who was relieved of the pressure, stayed in Foli City for more than a month.

When Katerina was finally confirmed by the doctor to be pregnant, he obtained a pass to Venice from the other party.

At this time, Girolamo, who "died due to illness", had been buried, and Caterina also publicly announced that she was pregnant with his posthumous son.

In grief, Pope Sixtus IV bestowed on Caterina the title of vicar of Romagna until the child in her womb grew to adulthood.

The boat to Venice set sail, and Da Vinci and Lu Xiao leaned against the side of the boat and looked back at the shore.

Looking at Katerina who was silently seeing her off on the pier, Da Vinci asked Lu Xiao hesitantly, "Is this really good?"

"If the Pope's reaction after discovering the truth is more intense than Katerina expected, her end will definitely be very tragic, right?"

As the ship traveled far, Katerina's figure gradually turned into a small black spot, and Lu Xiao also looked back at the shore: "This is her choice, and the corresponding consequences are naturally taken into consideration by her. "

"I believe that with her intelligence and skills, she will be able to tide over the difficulties and bring up our children."

Da Vinci shrugged: "Well, anyway, this is a matter between the two of you, I just kindly remind you."

Lu Xiao smiled and patted Da Vinci's shoulder: "Don't worry, my friend, I won't be ruthless like this. I will often pay attention to the situation in Romagna when I have time. to the ring."

I have lived in this world for several years, and I may stay for a longer time in the unpredictable future. Only by engraving some unforgettable memories here can I better remind myself.”

What I experience is a very real world.

Chapter 47 The Pearl of the Adriatic Sea

At first, Katerina only had a certain liking for Lu Xiao. Under the premise of urgent need for a child, she chose Lu Xiao, who was the most pleasing to the eye.

As the so-called "long-term" love, more than a month of high-intensity and candid heart-to-heart talks gradually formed a tacit understanding between the two, and their relationship also heated up.

Although Katerina has many calculations in her heart, she is still a young girl longing for love after all.

Lu Xiao, who is gentle and considerate and has a lot of tricks to chase girls, has satisfied her fantasy of love. In the past month or so, Katerina's sense of dependence on Lu Xiao has become stronger and stronger.

However, both of them have their own ideals and pursuits after all. When the time of parting came, although Katerina was very reluctant, in the end she resisted the complicated feelings and came to the pier to see him off in person.

Da Vinci, who was with him all the way, was the first to know about Lu Xiao's convincing of Katerina.

Lu Xiao didn't intend to hide it from the senior members of the Brotherhood, and Giovanni, Mario and others also quickly obtained relevant information.

Relying on the relationship between Lu Xiao and Caterina, Romagna obeyed the Pope's order to keep a distance from Florence, but in fact the two parties had already reached a series of win-win cooperation agreements in secret.

All Caterina had to worry about now was the ambitious French in the northwest.

There is good news on this point from the Fraternity branch in France.

Louis XI's killing of Charles the Bold angered Charles' son-in-law, Maximilian I of Austria, the Archduke of Austria. The armies of the two sides confronted each other in the Ginegat area, and a major war was likely to break out.

Lu Xiao had no impression of the name Maximilian I at all, but when he heard that the other party was from the Habsburg family, he immediately understood.

This is a powerful family that has left a strong pen and ink in European history, and Austria is the country they focus on.

Louis XI met a strong opponent and had no time to launch an invasion of Italy for the time being, so Romagna, guarded by Caterina, gained a period of peaceful development.

Before parting, Caterina gave Lu Xiao the three pages of Altaïr's Codex found on Girolamo's body.

Lu Xiao originally wanted to send the pages of the book back to Florence for Giovanni to decipher, but Da Vinci suddenly volunteered at this time, saying that he could decipher this encrypted text.

Facts have proved that Leonardo Da Vinci did not lie, and he successfully deciphered three pages in a short time.

The contents of these three pages are Codex 08 and Codex 14, and the remaining Codex 28 shocked Da Vinci very much.

This handbook describes a brand new weapon, understood in the way of contemporary people, it is Altaïr's genius idea after shrinking the limit of the cannon.

From Lu Xiao's point of view, this Hidden Blade suit called the Hidden Gun is indeed an epoch-making product. It can be regarded as the first hand-held firearm. If it is popularized, the global war mode will be greatly impacted.

"Leonardo, promise me."

Lu Xiao solemnly reminded Da Vinci: "You just need to keep this blueprint in your mind, and you must not tell anyone. Once the high-level officials of various countries learn about it, the whole world will be shocked."

Da Vinci is not someone with emotional intelligence problems, he nodded in understanding and agreed with Lu Xiao's statement: "I know, but the Templars should have seen this blueprint, do you think they can restore the Hidden Gun and make a certain improvement?"

"It's hard to say." Lu Xiao sighed: "The Knights Templar also has many skilled craftsmen, the key lies in whether they can decipher the secret words used by Altaïr in the Codex, and make them with a half-baked understanding. The Knights Templar will definitely take many detours .”

"Is it gunpowder in the East?" Da Vinci looked at the far end where the blue sea meets the sky with fascination: "I want to visit the mysterious East more and more. I don't know if I will have the chance to realize this wish in this life .”

After being delayed in Romagna for a while, plus the time spent on the way to Venice, it was already the midsummer season in June 1477 when Lu Xiao and Da Vinci officially landed in the port of Venice.

Lu Xiao's first impression of Venice in this period was not good. Under the scorching summer sun, a strong fishy smell wafted from the coast of Venice to all directions.

"O beautiful Venice."

Da Vinci looked around the vibrant Venetian Harbor with great interest, as if he didn't smell the bad smell around him.

Merchant ships from various European countries sailed in an orderly manner on the Adriatic Sea, bringing special products from distant countries to this floating city for sale, and local merchants in Venice resold these products to all parts of Italy.

"Notre Dame of the Vegetable Garden, Church of St. Peter, Church of Our Lady of Glory of the Franciscans, Church of St. Mark, Armory of Venice, Piazza San Trovasso, too many places of interest are waiting for my exploration and observation, we are still waiting What? Let's go!"

"Wait!" Lu Xiao couldn't help but hold Da Vinci who was overly excited: "Before that, we have other things to do. You haven't forgotten anything, have you?"

"what"

Under Lu Xiao's reminder, Da Vinci, who was overly excited, came back to his senses: "By the way, Mr. Giovanni said that someone will come to pick us up."

"cough"

A thin, well-dressed young man came to the two of them and coughed lightly, and introduced himself with a somewhat helpless salute.

"Welcome, distinguished guests from the City of Emerald, I am your guide, Antonio Maginhas."

Although this person's clothes looked like that, but after careful observation, one can find that the cloth used in this suit is very cheap, and it looks like a commoner deliberately pretending to be a nobleman, giving people an indescribably funny and absurd feeling.

With no aristocratic demeanor, paired with a well-groomed mustache and mid-length hair that hangs down to his neck, Antonio Maginhas gave a weird first impression.

The contrast between his attire and his plastic aristocratic appearance was so strong that Lu Xiao didn't know what to say for a while.

Da Vinci turned a blind eye to Antonio's strange behavior, enthusiastically holding the other's hand and waving it up and down.

"Antonio, thank you for welcoming me, I can't wait to explore this city, let's take us to the new studio first."

"Uh"
