Continental Warriors Yoo Ma

These Viking captives were later released, some settled in Iceland, some returned to Scandinavia, and lived in seclusion in sparsely populated mountainous areas such as Norrland.Others migrated to the hinterland of Eurasia, reaching as far as the Caspian Sea.

These pagan Vikings, after hundreds of years of low-key development, have now become a climate, gathering a force that cannot be ignored.

Bishop Beauvin looked at the peculiar patterns drawn on the armor of these Viking warriors-the big snake with wings on its back, and a fear surged in his heart for no reason.

"What the hell is the king of Denmark doing to allow the pagans to thrive in his kingdom!" the bishop screamed.

"Hehe, the King of Denmark has to deal with the restless Swedes and lead the Kalmar League to fight against the Hanseatic merchants. He doesn't care what happens in the backcountry." Le Camus laughed.

He spread his hands: "Everyone, why should you worry about it? Since you have already decided to cooperate with the Ottoman Empire, it's no big deal to make an exception and fight side by side with the Viking warriors who believe in the Feathered Serpent, right?"

Bishop Beauvin regretted it a little.

He knew that Le Camus was wanted by the French Church for "believing in a cult."However, in his view, this is mostly a frame-up, and Le Camus just lost in the court battle.In line with the principle that "everything supported by France must be opposed", Bishop Beauvin decided to accept Le Camus and cooperate with him.

But now seeing how the astrologer was deeply involved with various heretics, Bishop Bovin felt that the accusations of the heretics were likely to be true.

But so what?

Everything, everything, can be reduced to the most essential question - do you prioritize Rome or London?

For the glory of the king, he already had the answer in his heart.

Bishop Beauvin calmed down and said, "How much can these Vikings help? Now is not the era when Ivar the Boneless is running rampant in England, and the Vikings can burn, kill and loot everywhere in their long ships! "

"Don't worry about this. Lord Bishop, if you have confirmed your cooperation intention today, I can arrange for you to meet the Viking leaders at sea at the right time. You will know by then that they are no longer the barbarians of hundreds of years ago. Pirates, but a well-trained, well-armed, powerful army beyond your imagination."

"If these Vikings are willing to send troops to help, what do they ask for?"

"Don't worry, Bishop, the Vikings don't need gold and silver wealth, and they won't ask for land. You can talk to them about the specific conditions at that time."

After long discussions and disputes, the secret meeting that lasted until late at night finally ended.

The ruling class of Paris reached an agreement and decided to organize an army with the support of the Ottoman Sultan, and join forces with the mysterious Viking forces to launch a beheading attack on the place where the peace treaty between the two countries was signed.

Although there are still many things that need to be implemented step by step to promote this plan, Le Camus couldn't hide his excitement and put an unbridled smile on his face.

The more chaos the better, the more kills the better!Only when the old world is destroyed in fire, the new world will come!

After Le Camus left, Bishop Beauvin was still very worried, and he did not have much sense of achievement in finalizing the big event on his face.

"My lord, I always think those Vikings are dangerous, even more dangerous than the Ottomans!" said a businessman.

"I've never heard of a god named 'Quezar Coyatre' that they believe in. It's totally different from other pantheons in the known world," said a theologian at the University of Paris.

Another nobleman from England said worriedly: "If the Vikings have the ability to send their troops to France, then they also have the ability to invade England. I worry that the nightmare of the Viking Age will come to Britain again."

"Don't worry, my friend. Times have changed, and it is impossible for a Viking longship to defeat our Karak battleship with dozens of artillery pieces." Bishop Bowen comforted.

Although he was also uneasy in his heart, he opened the bow and did not turn back the arrow, and now he can only go on one way.

Whether it's a cult, the Ottomans, or the Vikings of unknown origin.As long as he helps England defeat France and establishes a powerful Anglo-French dual monarchy for Henry VI, then all enemies are just vulnerable insects.

……

In Chinon, a small city more than 200 kilometers away from Paris, the entire French court was busy negotiating peace for Faber.

However, as a key figure in the negotiation, Yoo Ma is out of tune with the busy atmosphere around him. Every day, he leisurely reads books, studies magic, tinkers with food, and discusses literature with Pedro.

The terms of the peace treaty have long been set, and neither of the two monarchs has any objections, so the rest is nothing more than some matters involving etiquette and procedures.

These tedious but necessary things can be left to the two deputy envoys, the Prime Minister of George Palace and the Count of Armagnac.

The former are always looking for opportunities to expand their power.The latter need to abandon past positions and demonstrate a political stance consistent with the king.Therefore, the two of them are very active in their current work, and there is no need for Youfu Ma to worry about it.

This afternoon, Yoof Ma continued to practice enchanting in his room.After consuming all the magic power, he could clearly feel that his mastery of the two artificer abilities, "Magic Power Infusion" and "Magic Power Mark", had deepened.

With the holy emblem presented by Joan of Arc to speed up the recovery of magic power, Yoof Ma's magic power can be filled again early tomorrow morning.

Tuk Tuk...

There was a knock on the door.

After getting Yoof Ma's consent, the servant walked in.

"Lord Count, the queen's banquet is about to start, you should wash and change."

After being reminded by the servant, Yoo Ma remembered that he had received an invitation three days ago and was invited to attend the banquet hosted by the Queen tonight.Halfling Dada reveals that maltose has been successfully made.The queen hopes to introduce this sweet food to the nobles of France on a grand occasion.

Chapter 41 Food Innovation

In the evening, Mayouf came to the castle.

Charles VII and his favorite mistress Agnes didn't know where to go, leaving the Queen of Anjou alone to preside over the banquet.

It is said that after the recapture of Paris, Charles VII will present the castle of Chinon to Agnès.

This was the place where Charles VII first met Joan of Arc, and it was also a turning point in his fate.Such a monumental castle can also be given to Agnès, which shows how favored this royal mistress is.

However, the Queen of Anjou has now devoted most of her enthusiasm to the maltose industry, and has no spare time to be jealous with Agnes.

"Good night, Her Royal Highness, it is my honor to accept your invitation." Yofu Ma nodded in greeting.

"Good night, Your Honor." The Queen introduced a man and a woman beside her to Youf Ma, "This is Madame Marguerite de Valois, and her husband, Baron Jean III de Harperdiner. ."

The queen asked her servant to give Ma Yofu a list of guests for the banquet a few days ago, and marked and explained those important guests.

This Madame Marguerite de Valois was one of them.

As can be seen from the name, she is of Valois royal blood.It's just a bit special.

Margaret was the daughter of the Mad King Charles VI and his mistress Odette.In other words, the half-sister of Charles VII, an illegitimate daughter.

Charles VII treated this sister very well, took her back to the court from a foster family a few years ago, legalized her status, gave a large dowry and married Jean III.

Although Baron Harperdiner was not a big nobleman, and his family had no mines, he had a lot of manor and land, which was enough to ensure that Margaret would not be bullied by a powerful husband for the rest of her life.

From this we can see that Charles VII is still very humane.

However, excluding these material conditions such as birth and family property, from the perspective of finding a spouse, this Jean III is really not very good.

Mr. Baron was tall and thin, his face was pale, and the dark circles under his eyes were particularly evident under the illumination of the magic lamp.He was wearing a red, green, and yellow three-color coat, with fluffy cuffs and an exaggerated collar.The lower body is a pair of tights and white stockings, and there is a large bulge in the crotch, which is particularly conspicuous.

It's not that the third generation has the talent of Yangdingtian.It's an ornament called a "cloth bag," stuffed with cotton to accentuate masculinity.

Although this is a men's fashion that has been popular since the Renaissance, but for the traveler Ma Youfu, it is the old man looking at the mobile phone · JPG in the subway.

Even if you don't mention the weirdness in appearance and dressing, Sanshi is not very good at socializing.

After the two sides greeted each other, he said to Ma Yofu with a frivolous smile: "Seris, I heard that your eloquence can make the devil also believe in the Seven Saints, why don't you praise the queen's beauty on this happy night? Ah, Your Highness, you are like the most delicate rose in the garden..."

After Jean III finished his earthly praise to the queen, Yoo Ma said, "Isn't the beauty of Her Royal Highness the queen for granted? Like air, it exists all the time. I don't think there is any need to praise her."

"Did you hear it? My dear. This is called the language art from the East, so don't read some collections of crappy love poems." Margaret covered her mouth and chuckled, her eyes swept across Yofu Ma.The queen on the side also blushed slightly, and was obviously very satisfied with Yofu Ma's compliment.

It made Sanshi embarrassed and laughed twice, and stopped talking.

Margaret's appearance has some of the same features as Charles VII, but the facial features seem to have been fine-tuned by Dizera, the goddess of beauty.

The two beauties stand together, which is pleasing to the eye.

After arriving at the banquet hall, Youfu Ma found that the ladies were dressed quite boldly tonight, and their chests were white and greasy.This dressing trend was led by the royal mistress Agnes.Even the nemesis Queen of Anjou, driven by beauty, began to dress like this.

"Tonight's moon is really many, big and round." Youfu Ma sighed.

"Is there a moon tonight?" Let Sanshi Hanhan looked at the pitch-black night sky outside the window, puzzled.

As the newly promoted Count of Rouen, the celebrity in front of the French King, and the official in charge of the Faber peace talks, Youfu Ma sat on the high table in the center of the banquet hall, at the Queen's right hand - this is the position of the most distinguished guest.

His friends, the shield dwarf Volga and the writer Pedro, sat next to each other.

Enjoying the food, chatting with the queen on the left for a while, and telling a joke with Margaret on the right for a while, it is also very comfortable.

Halfway through the banquet, the servants brought up plates of steaming steamed buns.

These days, in his spare time, Ma Youfu brings the skill tree of "steaming" to France's kitchen.

It's just that the French are not very keen on the steamed buns compared to the sweets trend brought by the variant candied haws.Except for a handful of true loves, most nobles follow the trend and put a plate of steamed buns at their banquets, just to show off: Look, my lord, I can eat sweet and fragrant oriental white bread, you poor people who eat rye every day, are you envious?

But Ma Youfu doesn't care.Being able to eat the food of my hometown again, and also achieving the achievement "Gourmet Evangelist II" by the way, and getting 50 administrative points, is already very satisfying.

After the canonization ceremony was held a few days ago, and he officially became a noble, he also completed the three achievements of "more honorable than commoners I", "more honorable than commoners II", and "more honorable than commoners III", and got a full 350 Administrative point.

Coupled with the 450 military points obtained by defeating the Wool Soldier before, Youfu Ma, who has plenty of money, is already looking forward to the arrival of November, and the system store has been refreshed.

Returning to the topic, the steamed buns brought to the table today are different from those in the past. Next to them is a delicate silver bowl containing a translucent amber viscous liquid.

Everyone's attention was immediately drawn to the past.

Queen Anne stood up and introduced, "Everyone, please let me introduce you to the new way of eating 'Oriental White Bread'."

She picked up the spoon, scooped up a spoonful of brushed maltose from the silver bowl, spread it on the steamed bun, and took a ladylike bite.

Ah, this is really a gourmet innovation.

Ma Youfu was shocked.

However, the guests looked at the queen's face of enjoyment and immersed in the sweetness, and they tried one after another, and then they were full of praise.

"Your Highness the Queen, what is the name of this sweet sticky thing?" someone asked.

"This is the 'Amber Candy' that I made in collaboration with Mr. Ma Yof, and it costs five livres a pound."

The Riffel is a gold coin issued in France and is about the same value as the Venetian ducats.Although it is not comparable to the white sugar equivalent to gold, five livres of maltose per pound is quite expensive.

Looking at the nobles at the banquet, they were eager to try, and they were not too expensive at all. Youfu Ma seemed to see that a golden mountain was walking towards him.

Chapter 42 Compensation

"Everyone, if you want to buy amber candies, please contact my commercial director, Dada the halfling." The merchandise display was almost over, and the Queen of Anjou returned to her seat.

"Mr. Yoof Ma, how am I doing?" The Queen winked at Yofu Ma.

"Perfect, you are a sales genius. By the way, who came up with the name Amber Sugar?"

"It's me. If I use the name maltose, I'm worried that people will easily guess the ingredients, and then figure out how to make it step by step." The queen leaned into Yofu Ma's ear and whispered.

The beauty exhaled like a blue, making him itch all the way from his ears to his heart.

"A very smart move."

"Also, after the dinner, please go to the room at the end of the corridor on the third floor. I got an interest-free loan of [-] livres for you from my mother. I put the loan documents there, and you can ask for it at any time. To the Genoese banker in Champagne, to draw money."

"Thank you very much, Her Royal Highness. With this money, I am more confident to fight the British."

"I also hope that you can become a veritable Count of Rouen as soon as possible."

While the two were chatting, Margaret, who was on the side, was also talking to her husband.
