The keyboard warrior Youfu Ma was a little embarrassed.

He also found the method of making maltose on the Internet, but he has not practiced it himself.

As for whether the different environments in China and Europe will affect the fermentation, it is beyond the class.

"Uh, you can ask the brewer for reference. Isn't the first step in making beer malting? As for fermentation, I'm not very clear, just try more."

"I see," Dada said. "I'm just worried that if the trial production of maltose keeps failing, it will cost too much. The planting of winter wheat ended not long ago, and now the price of wheat is high..."

"Okay, Dada, I can still afford this amount of money." The Queen gave Yofu Ma a helpless smile, "This is Dada, half smart, half stingy."

"Mr. Halfling is a natural businessman. I am very relieved to have him in charge of the business," Yoo Ma said. "However, if you can find a druid to help you, I would like to be able to make maltose faster. Although this It will cost a lot of money, but the sooner we make it, the sooner we can make a lot of money.”

"this is a good idea!"

Sending off the excited queen who was immersed in the dream of wealth and independence, Yoo Ma took the letter dictated by Joan of Arc and written by him, and came to Chinon Castle to find the messenger.

This official position is generally held by a low-level wizard who is proficient in directional communication, and is responsible for transmitting various military and political emergency information.If you want to deliver private messages, you naturally need to pay.

In a sense, this is the personal meat telegram.

Directed Communication is a 8st-level spell that costs [-] su per cast at the market price.

This amount of money is enough for a family of five to eat a luxurious meal with fish, meat, wine, and spices such as cloves, pepper, and nutmeg.

Although this is a world with extraordinary power, because the number of spellcasters is rare, accounting for only one ten thousandth of the population, magic is only a luxury that rich people can access and cannot spread to society.

But for Yofu Ma, who also belongs to the caster class, maybe this is a good thing?

After Joan of Arc's letter was sent, it must be able to persuade a group of people to support the peace talks.The things to do have been done, and the next step is to wait for Charles VII to return to the palace and hold a royal meeting.

After completely relaxing, Ma Youfu decided to take the opportunity to read a book and recharge.

For concealing something on the Stone of Guidance, Father Juvenir presented three monastery books to Mayouf as compensation.

The three books Yoof Ma selected are "Everything is Magic" - by Pythagoras. The Convergence of the Celestial Spheres and Our History and Geography by Strabo. "An Overview of Ancient Roman Magic Warfare Instruments" - Author unknown.

In this magical world, many of the sages of the classical era, familiar to Yoof Ma, have more fantastic identities such as "great magician", "alchemist", and "elemental scholar".

These three books are all rare books in the monastery's collection. When Ma Youf took it from Father Juvenir, the latter's painful expression was still fresh in his memory.

Pythagoras was the first to propose the concept of a multiverse from the phenomenon of the confluence of the celestial spheres, and also laid the foundation for the magic system that continues to this day.His book "Everything is Magic" allows Yofu Ma, who "rely on the system to teach the knowledge of spells", to truly understand the extraordinary power system of this world.

And "The Intersection of the Celestial Spheres and Our History and Geography" introduces the origin of the magical elements of magic, gods, elves, and dwarves in this world - the intersection of the celestial spheres.

Simply put, this world will overlap with a fantasy world in time and space at a specific time.That's how those fantastical creatures came to earth.

In addition, the basic laws of this world were also affected and changed, and the mysterious substance "magic" appeared in the environment.

The celestial and spheres meet on a large and small scale.The largest two celestial spheres meet, bringing a terrifying chaotic barbarian invasion to the world.For the first time, it led to the destruction of the Roman Empire.The second time, Temu Khan, the barbarian ruler of Chaos, killed from east to west and established a great Eurasian empire with mountains of corpses.

The small-scale intersection of the celestial and spheres occurs almost every two or three years, bringing unpredictable consequences to the world.

The first two books provided Yoof Ma with valuable knowledge.The third book is the most useful.

At that time, there were quite a few artificers in the Roman Empire army, which attached great importance to engineering.The various war machines they manufacture are the key to victory for the imperial army to conquer the enemy and fight against Chaos.

Yoo Ma even found out how to make a golem in the book!

However, he needs to reach at least the sixth-level mid-level rank before he can make a golem.

And it's expensive.

……

Charles VII and his mistress were away from Chinon, and news came that they would continue hunting for seven days.

Yofu Ma took the opportunity to continue enjoying a relaxing and enjoyable reading time at home.

Volgar returned to his mercenary group.His last mission to Burgundy cost him a lot of manpower and needed to be recruited again.

Father Juvenil, on the other hand, is busy all day in the refugee camp outside the city.

The homes of the refugees have long since been burned down by the fleeing soldiers, and if left unchecked, these poor people will soon die in the harsh winters or be attacked by beasts and monsters.

Fortunately, after defeating the woolen soldiers, they not only got their property back, but also Ma Youfu's reward - after all, the refugees also contributed to the battle, so today's life is pretty decent.

Father Juvenier returned to Chinon and reported to the church what had happened to the Le Luni Abbey. He then brought a few priests back to the refugee camp and started management work.

His behavior made many acquaintances very puzzled.In particular, the Archbishop of Reims and Lord of the Seals, Regnio de Chartres.

The old man walked into the big tent in the middle of the refugee camp, saw Father Juvenil who was writing, and said, "Juvenil de Julien, are you going to waste your life in this kind of place? "

It's no wonder that Archbishop Lance expressed his hatred of iron.

He was very optimistic about Juvenier, and was planning to recommend him as Archbishop of Reims after his retirement.

You know, as the coronation place of the French kings, Lance, this parish has a detached status.The Archbishop of Reims is naturally the leader of the French religious circles, and he is also an indispensable official in the French court.

Regnio planned to send Juvenil to the Abbey of Le Luni to serve as a priest. After some experience, he was promoted to assistant bishop, taking him with him to learn to handle court affairs and deal with kings and great nobles.

Who knew that after Juvenil returned to Chinon, he stayed in the refugee camp, ignoring church affairs, and even pushed Regnault's meeting over and over again.

Archbishop Lance finally couldn't help it, and decided to come and see what Juvenir was doing.

When the distinguished guest came to the door, Juvenil didn't seem to see the emotion on the other's face.He put down the pen and paper, got up and said with a smile: "Sir Bishop, welcome! Try the fine wines of Burgundy, which are sent by the Count of Luxembourg."

Juvenil took out the wine glass and poured a glass for each of them.

After drinking the wine, Archbishop Lance calmed down.He put down the glass and said, "Okay, Yulsen, tell me your reasons."

"Master Bishop, you are the most important teacher in my life. I know what you expect from me. But now I have found a new ideal."

Archbishop Lance said with disdain: "Your ideal is in this refugee camp?"

"Yes. But to be precise, my ideal is in Youfu Ma." Juvenier said sternly.

"The Seris? He's smart and likable, I admit. But a foreigner, shouldn't have enough influence to change the judgment of a future French religious leader. Don't tell me, you're also addicted to ethereal oriental legends like King John."

In the dark and backward Middle Ages, Europeans were full of yearning and romantic imagination for the rich and civilized East.

The "King John" in the mouth of Archbishop Lance is an example.

During the Crusades, Europeans heard that in the far east, there was a king named John who believed in the Seven Saints.His kingdom has crystalline lakes, swathes of pepper groves, salamanders weaving fine silks for the king on volcanoes, and a strong and well-equipped army.

In order to attack the pagans with King John, the Pope and the kings sent many envoys to the East, but unfortunately they were all in vain.

Today, many people still believe this story.

"No, Bishop, I'm not one of those Italian businessmen who are blinded by greed and believe in Marco Polo, the braggart. I like Yofu Ma, not because of those illusory oriental legends, but because he is real Oriental wisdom on display."

Juvenil paused and asked, "Sir Bishop, haven't you found anything since you entered the refugee camp?"

Chapter 34 If 100 years ago

Archbishop Lance carefully recalled what he saw after entering the refugee camp.

After pondering for a moment, he said, "It was orderly, there was no crying and screaming, and I didn't even see a single patient."

"Because those patients were quarantined, there was no large-scale plague," Juvenier said.

In this season, influenza and typhoid fever are common. In addition, these refugees have traveled through the wild swamps full of dead bodies. According to normal circumstances, there will definitely be a plague outbreak. After this winter, it will be a tragic ending.

In this war-torn age, both clergymen have seen too many similar tragedies.

The situation in the refugee camps today is nothing short of a miracle.

"In addition to isolating patients, Mr. Ma also taught me a lot of useful knowledge along the way. For example, it is forbidden to defecate and spit. Garbage is centralized. Wash patients' clothes with boiling water, wash their hands frequently, and drink hot water. Sprinkle lime to kill Killing bacteria - Mr. Ma Yoof believes that the cause of the plague is a tiny creature called bacteria, which is invisible to the naked eye. I have reservations about this for the time being."

Europe in this era is still very sparsely populated.Not to mention the German region of the Black Forest, it is recognized that agriculture is developed and densely populated in France, and there are large areas of undeveloped forest swamps, so there is no shortage of fuel.No one drinks hot water, it's purely a matter of habit.

It was not until more than 100 years later that due to population growth, urbanization, and shipbuilding needs, forest resources began to be in short supply, and civilians lost their "fuel freedom".

From the drawer of the table, Juvenier took out a piece of cloth with a string tied at both ends: "This little thing, also invented by Mr. Ma Youfu, is called a mask. When worn on the face, it can isolate the air polluted by the plague. I tried it, and it worked much better than those doctors' beak masks."

Seeing the Archbishop of Lance fiddling with the mask with great interest, Juvenil's tone suddenly became very heavy: "If we had learned these eastern wisdoms that can effectively contain the plague 100 years ago, the result would have been very different."

Juvenier's words suddenly made a word pop up in Archbishop Lance's mind - the Black Death!

The great plague that took over one-third of the entire population of Europe is still unheard of today.

At that time, people regarded the Black Death as the end of the world.And the church, which was supposed to shoulder the mission of saving the common people, was particularly powerless in the face of the Black Death.

This dealt a great blow to the authority of the church, and indirectly promoted the Renaissance movement that emancipated the mind. Archbishop of Reims and Juvenier knew this well.

"Sir Bishop. We want to build a kingdom of heaven where everyone is happy. It is not enough to rely on piety and kindness. Reason and knowledge are the key. I finally know that there are other ways besides prayer and expensive magic. , able to fight against the plague!" Juvenier was emotionally excited.

When the Black Death ravaged Europe, 8 people died in Paris alone.And what are the "epidemic prevention measures" adopted by King Philip VI of France?

Pray devoutly every day, and it is strictly forbidden to blaspheme the Seven Saints.First offenders cut off one lip, second offenders off the other, and third offenders off their tongues.

It is no wonder that the epidemic prevention measures brought by Youfu Ma are only common sense of later generations.

"Juvenir, pay attention, your remarks are already deviant. Don't say such things that question the sanctity of faith in front of other people." Archbishop Lance reminded, and then nodded, "You convinced me. I used to think only , that Seris was just a eloquent, likable jester. Looks like I made an empirical mistake. A re-evaluation of Seris is necessary now. I'll keep an eye on that Seris, Perhaps, he can play a role in a greater cause."

After figuring out Juvenir's thoughts, Archbishop Lance no longer insists on his own opinion.He was content to leave, but was stopped by the other party.

Juvenil pulled down the tent curtain, rubbed the ruby ​​ring on his hand with a special gesture, and recited a "sound-stopping technique".

A ripple of magic power invisible to the naked eye instantly spread to the entire tent.The outside world can no longer hear any sound leaking from here.

After doing all this, Juvenier took out a parchment from his body and handed it to Archbishop Lance.

"Sir Bishop, the reason why I have repeatedly postponed my meeting with you is because I am busy preparing this list. Because this matter is very important, I must investigate and confirm it in detail before I can hand it over to you."

Archbishop Lance took the parchment and glanced at it, and his expression became solemn because of the names of the nobles and courtiers on it.

"The New World Order is using the hands of the Wool Soldiers to collect sacrifices and brew a big conspiracy. After Mr. Mayoufu defeated Ian Gaskill, he found this evidence. Unexpectedly, His Royal Highness's court has been infiltrated by those cultists. so deep."

"I'm not surprised." Archbishop Lance sighed, "War and killing, chaos and turmoil, the thirst for wealth and power, make people's hearts degenerate uncontrollably. It is inevitable for cultists to take advantage of the situation."

Juvenier asked: "Sir Bishop, what should we do? The people on the list are united, and they are quite powerful."

Archbishop Lance suddenly released a fierce momentum: "Juvenir, remember! When facing cultists, we are the defenders of the faith and the nemesis of darkness. The interests of those politicians need to be weighed, which is not within our scope of consideration."

After deciding on the general policy of eradicating the cultists by means of thunder, after some discussion, the two agreed that it would be best to wait for the king to return to Chinon and hold a royal meeting, when many dignitaries gathered to discuss the matter of peace between Fabo. time.

……

Perhaps because the weather was getting colder, and the attraction of fighting with a lover in the field was far less attractive than a warm palace with a burning fireplace, Charles VII returned to Chinon two days earlier than planned.

However, he took another three full days of rest before he resumed dealing with government affairs and announced the convening of the Imperial Council.

In the morning, Mayouf and the shield dwarves who returned to Chinon with the mercenary group were walking on the road leading to the castle.

"Charles VII is a little carried away, huh!" Volgar whispered, "In order to fight the British, he used to be very modest in food and clothing. But since he was successfully crowned king with the help of Jeanne, He began to indulge in pleasure. He said that the treasury was empty and powerless to fight, but in private he held banquets, went out hunting, and found the so-called first beauty of France as his mistress..."

"After all, he is a king. After so many years of hardship, now that the situation has improved, it is normal for people to want to enjoy it." Yofu Ma said with a smile.
