Continental Warriors Yoo Ma

Chapter 50 Farewell to the Virgin

As Yoo Ma expected.Trouble came the next day when Philip III had a private meeting with him.

"Your Excellency Count of Rouen, we think that Chalon is very inappropriate as a place for peace talks." A tall and bearded knight said beside the Duke of Burgundy.

His name was Nicholas Rolland, and he was an important general under Philip III alongside the Count of Luxembourg.

Now the Count of Luxembourg is defending the British in the Picardy area, so the advice he provides will be more favored by Philip III in the military.

The knight spread out a map of France in front of Youf Ma, and pointed at it with calloused fingers.

All in all, he talked for a long time, just wanting the French side to change the meeting place.

Youf Ma did not express his emotions, and asked patiently: "Then, Your Excellency, where does the first party of Burgundy think it is more appropriate to hold the meeting?"

"Luxembourg is a very suitable location," said another courtier who was with Philip III at the meeting today.

He was the think tank and legal adviser to Antoneva de Cloux, Bishop of Nevers, Philip III.

"His Excellency, I'm afraid not." Yofu Ma flatly refused.

Luxembourg is a Burgundian territory and is farther from the French court than Dijon.To hold talks here is undoubtedly a humiliation to Charles VII.

The tower-like Roland knight snorted dissatisfiedly: "Cunning French, I don't think you have the sincerity of a peace negotiation at all! It's better to call the army to fight first, and the winner will lead the negotiation."

Philip III raised his hand and stopped the roaring Roland: "Okay, General. We are here to seek peace, and starting the war lightly is the stupidest choice."

Ma Youfu's eyes stayed on the two people opposite each other for two seconds, and he felt that the suspicion of the Duke pulling his subordinates to sing double reeds was very huge.

At this time, Bishop Navel smiled and walked up to Mayouf and put a heavy bag on the table.

The mouth of the bag was not tied tightly, and the golden light was shining inside.

"The wise man of Seris, with your eloquence, it must not be difficult to convince the King of His Holiness to agree to our terms. The trust that His Highness has in you now makes many people mad with jealousy."

"Although everyone likes gold coins..." Youfu Ma didn't pick up the purse, "However, I refuse."

Indeed, with Charles VII's current trust in Mayouf and his desire for peace in Faber, if Mayof persuaded him, the monarch, who was often not firm enough, would have a high probability of agreeing to change the place of peace talks to Luxembourg's suggestion.

But after that?

When the situation was not so embarrassing, when Charles VII recalled the various experiences of negotiating peace, would he become more and more angry?

At that time, Yoof Ma should be out of luck.

On the issue of modifying the meeting location, one party has come up with various reasons, all means, and a firm attitude.

On the other hand, Qingshan insisted that Qingshan would not relax, and would not agree to anything.

After a morning of arguing with no result, everyone was tired and decided to discuss it another day.

Philip III personally sent Yofu Ma out of the conference hall. He smiled and said, "Mr. Yofu Ma, please forgive the rudeness of Knight Roland. He just doesn't want to shame the monarch."

"Of course, I understand."

"Hmm..." Philip III cleared his throat and asked, "Excuse me, have you created a new chapter in your novel "Young Alfred Bentley"?"

"Your enthusiasm for reading is admirable. I'm glad you like my novels." Yofu Ma took out a stack of manuscripts from his arms.

Public is public and private is private.Despite the conflict between the two sides during the peace talks, Yoof Ma wanted to maintain a good personal relationship with Philip III - and the other side as well.

"In addition to the new chapters of "Young Alfred Bentley," there are the first five chapters of "Angie White, the Young Woman," which I co-authored with Mr. Pedro. The story of an educated aristocratic woman who married a baron and went to work as a governess in a big noble's house in order to support her family..."

Philip III was very excited when he heard it: "Ah, it must be a good story that makes people forget to eat and sleep. I will reward Pedro well. As for you, Mr. Mayouf, maybe you would like to visit my castle in Ghent and have a good time? "

Now that Youfu Ma's identity is different, it is impossible for Philip III to pose as a superior and throw him a bag of "draft fees".Taking this opportunity to get closer to each other is the right choice.

"Of course, it's my pleasure."

After saying goodbye to Philip III, Yoof Ma met with the two deputy envoys and handed over the negotiation to them.

The two who thought they were just hanging around in name were happy to accept this task.The qualifications accumulated in this peace talks are the power and prestige in the future!

And Yofu Ma, of course, went to see the Holy Maiden.

When he left the ducal palace, he called on his entourage, O'Rourke.

This orc, who was 150 meters tall and weighed more than [-] kilograms before he was an adult, was presented to Ma Youfu by the Count of Luxembourg when he left Chinon.

Strong, industrious, honest, quiet, with the exception of the ugly pair of fangs and thick nostrils, O'Rourke has no faults.

Usually, this orc wears full-body armor from Augsburg, equipped with a mace and a kite-shaped shield, and acts as Ma Youfu's bodyguard.If the situation is special, and even the Count of Rouen needs to fight, the orcs are also responsible for carrying the weapons and equipment used by the Count.

To this end, Ma Youfu specially customized a set of individual soldier carrying equipment made of cowhide for O'Rourke to carry the gunpowder packs, bullets, grenades and other things he tinkered with.

In addition, Ma Youfu has also upgraded his firearms.

For the arquebus that he bought earlier, Yofu Ma cut the barrel short, installed the wooden butt, and then entrusted the craftsmen under Jean Brow to make the arquebus firing device according to the drawings he gave.

This matchlock gun 0.1 test version, which was transformed from a fire door gun, Ma Youfu made a total of three, wrapped them in oilcloth, and let O'Rourke carry them on his back.When encountering a battle that required muskets, O'Rourke was responsible for reloading with a shield, and Ma Youfu only needed to aim and shoot, and he could fire five rounds in one minute.

In the case of no extra points to increase strength and agility, Gandalf's melee stick technique is better to use less.

When he came to the tower where Joan of Arc was under house arrest again, he found that the guards at the door had all withdrawn.

Well, now we should put it another way, it is not the tower where the saint is under house arrest, but the tower where the saint lives.

After climbing seven flights of stairs, Yoo Ma was breathless and heartless.The gain brought by the professional has strengthened his physical fitness, and the holy emblem presented by Joan of Arc has accelerated his recovery. His physical strength is much stronger than that of ordinary people. Margaret, who eats the marrow and knows the taste, has the best experience. .

Knock on the door.

No movement.

He knocked again, still no response.

Suddenly, there was a noise inside.Youfu Ma tried to push it, and the door opened in response.

"Ha, three twos, I won!" I saw Mademoiselle Jeanne Duck put her feet on the chair and raised her arms in a victorious gesture.

Chapter 51 Teacher

Unlike Joan of Arc, who was elated, the two maids who played cards together threw away the cards in their hands in frustration.

"Miss Jeanne, why is your luck always so good?"

"A total of eleven games, you have won eleven times, are you really favored by the Seven Sages?"

"Wisdom and strategy are the keys to victory!" Jeanne proudly raised her chest.

Shaking makes me dizzy.

Then, the girl saw Yofu Ma who was standing at the door.

"Yeah!" Her pretty face turned pink, and she waved her hands unconsciously, and quickly explained, "Sir, we're not gambling, we're just passing the time for entertainment, don't get me wrong..."

Youfu Ma looked at the two maids whose faces were covered with small notes, and smiled: "I believe, Miss Jeanna. But you guys had a good time."

The two maids screamed in unison, covering their faces and running away.

Jeanne coughed dryly, put down her feet without a trace, wiped the stool quickly with her sleeves, and poured Yofu Ma a glass of wine herself.

"Please sit down, Mr. Yofu Ma, I've been looking forward to seeing you again."

After Ma Youfu sat down, the girl whose hair had grown to shoulder length and had a softer temperament looked at him with expectant eyes: "I have heard several stories about you fighting the woolly soldiers on the way back, and then helping His Highness to sweep away the cultists. version, and today I hope you can tell me about it in detail."

Although Joan of Arc's treatment was improved, she was still ostensibly a captive of Burgundy, and she could not leave the tower.After Mrs. Jane left, Philip III specially arranged for the daughters of the two knights to serve as maids to keep her company.

"I didn't think I was so famous. I hope my image in those stories isn't too bad."

Yofu Ma teased himself, and began to talk about his previous experience.

Joan of Arc held her cheeks, her sapphire blue eyes looked at Yofu Ma who was chatting, a soft smile naturally appeared on his face, and the whole figure seemed to be covered with a soft light.

The two maids returned to the living room holding hands.They sat quietly aside, doing embroidery while listening to the blood and fire that were too far from their lives.

Orc, the half-orc, stayed outside the door and slept soundly, indifferent to the world.

After telling his story, and looking at Joan of Arc's satisfied look, Yoo Ma asked, "Miss Jeanne, have you made the most of the playing cards I gave you?"

"Of course!" The girl took out the set of literacy poker and showed the student's smile to the teacher, "Look, how hard I have learned", "I memorize the words on the poker three times a day, even when playing cards with the maid. There was no delay. Later, the duke learned that after I was studying writing, he would occasionally send a nun to teach me."

"However, sigh..." Jeanne sighed, her brows falling, "I didn't expect reading and writing to be so difficult to learn, and I still can't read even simple letters smoothly."

"Don't worry, Miss Jeanne. Everyone has something they are good at. Your talent in the military has already made those veterans who have been on the battlefield for many years both envious and jealous."

After being enlightened, Joan of Arc was in a better mood, but she was still a little worried about her lack of talent for learning and literacy.

She looked at Yofu Ma carefully, and suddenly came close to him and said, "Mr. Yofu Ma, you must be very talented in this area by being able to learn Italian and French in a short period of time! Please teach me to learn languages!"

"Well, it's not a big deal, okay."

"That's great, I'll call you Teacher Youfu from now on!"

This sentence made the two maids who bowed their heads and embroidered chuckle.

Although the laughter was not malicious, Jeanne, who did not know what she said was wrong, still blushed.

Youfu Ma had to explain: "Miss Jeanne, the Seris have the same name as the Hungarians, with the surname first and the first name last. So you shouldn't call me Teacher Youfu, but Ma... Well, if you want to follow I'm learning languages, so call me a teacher."

I am not the head of the eight poles of Liuhe Wing Chun, Tiger Crane, and Twin Shapes, and I don't know how to wiggle, drill, and change hair. It's better not to use that legendary title.

"Okay, teacher!" Jeanne was excited.

Although the two maids sent by Philip III respected her very much, the three of them got along very well and became friends.But in contrast to the two convent-educated knight daughters, the illiterate Joan of Arc still occasionally made jokes such as "a husband-wife teacher".

Even young girls have self-esteem!

Joan of Arc is quite proud to have found a wise oriental teacher as a teacher.She had already thought about it, after completing her studies, she must write an elegant letter to the two maids in the future.

Youfu Ma chatted with his female student for a while, when the maid next to him suddenly exclaimed.

"Seven saints forgive me, is this the end of the world!?"

Youfu Ma and Joan of Arc got up and saw that the afternoon sky was like filthy muddy water, half yellow and half black.There was a gust of wind outside, and the yellow sand rolled up and filled the entire field of vision, as if everything would be swallowed up.

The two maids hurried over and closed the window.

The fine sand and stone hit the glass that was blue due to the backward manufacturing process, making a crackling sound.

Youfu Ma and Jeanne looked at each other and said in unison, "The celestial spheres meet!"

The atmosphere in the room suddenly changed from cheerful and happy just now to nervous and serious.

In Strabo's "The Convergence of the Celestial Spheres and Our History and Geography", it is mentioned that when the celestial spheres meet, they are always accompanied by extremely anomalous natural phenomena.This is the result of the contact between two different time and space.

In winter, in Burgundy, where the vegetation cover is extremely high, a sandstorm suddenly blows.

There is no second explanation other than the confluence of the celestial spheres.
