Continental Warriors Yoo Ma

When Louis XI was born, it was the most turbulent time in France.After he was baptized in the Saint-Etienne Cathedral in Bourges, within a month, the French army was defeated again. The front pointed to Bourges.

The outside world was in chaos, and his parents were often busy with political affairs. Louis XI spent his childhood in this turbulent and lonely environment.He also developed a gloomy, suspicious character.

Until Jeanne appeared.

The Saint of Lorraine not only brought victory and redemption to France, but also let the sun shine into Louis' heart.

A gloomy and lonely teenager suddenly met a heroic blond big sister, and then had a hazy love for her. It was a normal thing.

However, the good times did not last long.Just a year later, Louis's first love shattered.Joan of Arc was captured by Burgundy and burned at Rouen.

In the endless pain and sorrow, the teenager witnessed his father's incompetence, weakness and indecision.

Thus, another European royal story of a father's kindness and filial piety began.

Louis XI launched a rebellion against Charles VII. Even after he failed and was forgiven by his father, he did not change his original intention and continued to oppose Charles VII. He followed only one principle: act against his father.

Many people wondered why Louis XI hated his father Charles VII so much. This was by no means a puberty rebellion or a court power struggle that could explain it.

Perhaps, only the deepest love can turn into the deepest hatred.

Thirty years after Joan's death, Louis XI finally took the throne.He relied on tricks to provoke Charles the Bold, Duke of Burgundy, to fight against the Duchy of Lorraine and the Swiss Confederation.The result was that Charles the Bold died in battle, triggering the famous "Splitting Skull Incident". Philip III worked hard to grow, and the Duchy of Burgundy, which dominates Western Europe, became someone else's wedding dress.

In England, after the death of Henry VI, the Plantagenet royal family died out, and its branch Lancaster family and York family broke out into a civil war, known as the War of the Roses.

Louis XI actively intervened in the war, provoking the descendants of the Plantagenet family to bloodshed.The English, like the French, experienced the bitterness of a long civil war.

So far, the two murderers who murdered Joan of Arc have both ended miserably and ruined their respective rule.Louis XI is also a great revenge.

However, are these conspiracies and calculations throughout a lifetime worth it?

When Louis XI was lying on the hospital bed in his later years, he was deeply suspicious and no longer believed in anyone, did he still remember that big sister who was as dazzling and warm as the sun?

Well, [-]% of the above are historical facts, and [-]% are brain supplements.

The problem Ma Youf now faces is that the Dauphin of France seems to be hostile because of his relationship with Joan of Arc.

But it's not a big problem.By the time Louis XI is old enough to rebel against his flamboyant father, Youf Ma must have become a powerful minister in France.

At that time, he didn't mind helping Charles VII teach the unfilial son a lesson, and gave the title of "Daufen" to the other sons of Charles VII.

Next, Yoo Ma and Joan of Arc told some stories of fighting with the army of the Black Tomb Kingdom before leaving.

Dauphin Louis' eyes stayed on Joan of Arc until she disappeared from view.

Chapter 88 Rome, what color?

After Joan of Arc left, Prince Louis sighed in disappointment.He got up and saluted: "Father, mother, I'm going to a magic class, forgive me to retire first."

Seeing the back of his son leaving, Charles VII frowned.He could feel Louis' alienation and contempt for him, but he didn't know how to bring the relationship between father and son closer.

The queen on the side looked at her husband and comforted: "Charlie, don't worry too much. Louis is just getting old and has his own ideas. When he is older and married, he will be able to understand the difficulties of his parents."

"You're right." Charles VII nodded.

Although the crown prince is still young, getting married at the age of twelve or thirteen is not a big deal.When he has a family, he will surely mature.Well, it would be nice to marry a Scottish princess and cement the alliance.

Looking at the changing face of Charles VII, the queen knew that her husband was calculating political interests again.She said: "Charlie, it's rare that everything goes smoothly, and the peace is about to be negotiated, so you don't have to think about so many political affairs. There will be a new play in the city of Chalon the day after tomorrow, so why don't our family of three go to see it. Please accompany Louis more, It can also promote the relationship between your father and son.”

"Uh..." Charles VII hesitated.He plans to have dinner with Agnès the night after.But in the end, he agreed to his wife's request.

The queen quietly smiled smugly.Son is indeed a good card to give her an edge over that Provence bitch.

However, with Louis's character and his contempt for his father, it is unknown whether this son will become the bond between husband and wife, or the fuse of the breakup.

The Crown Prince Louis, who left his parents, returned to his suite.

There, a young man wearing a red and black robe with curly hair and a slightly darker complexion greeted him.

"His Royal Highness, have you seen the Holy Maiden?" the man asked.

Louis nodded and said, "Yes, I have met Sister Jeanne. She is very kind to me, but she seems to have been injured and has not healed yet, so she is a little weak."

After speaking, the crown prince thumped the table fiercely, gritted his teeth and said, "Damn Seris, how dare to hurt Sister Jeanna! How could he have the face to appear here?"

Instead of admonishing the crown prince, the man whispered in a provocative tone: "Yes, Your Highness, remember the anger and jealousy in your heart, this will be the greatest driving force for you to move forward. You will become the most powerful mage and rule This kingdom. When the time comes, the saint will naturally belong to you."

After listening to the man's words, Louis became discouraged.

"Mr. Gioni Palas, how do I achieve the goal you said? The learning of ordinary spells is slow, and although I have a talent for necromancy, it is difficult to obtain resources for such spells."

"His Royal Highness, I have a solution."

"Come on!" Louis stood up at once and rushed in front of Gioni Palas.

"The key lies in the Seris. I heard from the palace minister that after the battle of Dijon, as a trophy, Ma Youfu got the staff of the undead consul. This staff came from the powerful undead kingdom in another world. The power is huge, and it can instantly awaken bones buried deep in the ground. If you can get this staff and study it, you will definitely benefit a lot."

"Then what should I do? Hire a wanderer to steal it, or..." A trace of sternness flashed across the young prince's face.

"His Royal Highness, didn't I say before that you should choose the method with the least hidden dangers to achieve your goals. This is the basic quality of a ruler." Gioni Palas laughed, "Why don't you use money to buy it? According to I know that the Seris is very greedy and is doing everything he can to make money. He has defrauded a hundred thousand livres from those merchants by starting a so-called company in Troyes."

"One hundred thousand livres!" Louis gasped, showing greed.He shook his head, calmed himself down, and said, "Okay, teacher, I'll leave this to you. But I heard that Youfu Ma is very eloquent, and I hope we don't pay too much."

"Don't worry, His Royal Highness. The so-called El Dorado Seris, no matter how rich and civilized it is, can it compare to Rome? Those nobles who have never seen the world, always give Ma Yofu a high look because of his background, so this A guy can go nowhere." Gioni Palas said proudly, "I come from Athens, the birthplace of civilization. I have experienced the advancement and civilization of Rome since I was a child, and I have also seen the culture and customs of the East. Good news for you soon."

……

After Ma Youfu returned to the room, he took out the Book of Otto and read it for two hours, draining his magic power.This time, the information puzzle in his mind was enriched again.Maybe after a few more attempts, he will be able to learn the first primordial rune.

When he put away the books, a servant came to report that a guest was visiting.

"who is it?"

"He claimed to be the prince's teacher, and his name was Gioni Palas Nicoladis."

"Greek?" Hearing this long string of XXX, Yofu Ma roughly guessed the origin of the other party.

"Mr. Gioni Palas says he is Roman."

"Rome? Is it red, purple, or green?" Yofu Ma teased.Seeing that the servant couldn't understand what he was saying, he could only helplessly shrug, "Okay, please come in."

After a while, Gioni Pallas walked into the room, and after performing a Byzantine courtesy, he said: "Good day, Your Excellency Count of Rouen, I take the liberty to disturb because His Royal Highness the Prince has a small request, I hope you can promise."

"What request?" Youfu Ma didn't like that gloomy boy, but considering the other party's status as a prince, if it wasn't an excessive request, it wouldn't matter if he agreed.

Gioni Palas said: "I heard that you have a staff from the Kingdom of the Black Tomb. His Royal Highness is very interested in it, because he bought it at a high price."

"This is not a 'small request'. That staff is a very powerful magic item, and it is a rare treasure for every spell caster. Why should I sell it?"

As an artificer, Youfu Ma is indeed incompatible with the speciality of the staff used by the Necromancer. So far, he has not researched the reason.But that doesn't mean he will sell it to others easily.

Does the Count of Rouen seem like someone who lacks money?

"The crown prince is willing to pay two thousand livres." Gioni Palas stretched out two fingers.

In fact, the price that the crown prince offered him was three thousand livres, but the middleman obviously wanted to make more money.

"Two thousand?" Youfu Ma laughed.

Count Armagnac had estimated the price of the staff before, and he was willing to pay [-] livres to buy it.If you put it on consignment in the magic market, it is possible to sell it for [-] livres in the end.

The other party offered this kind of price, which is simply a deliberate humiliation.

Chapter 89 The Purification Court Arrives

"Mr. Gioni Palas, it was a pleasure to chat with you, but I need to rest." Yofu Ma declined with a smile.If there was tea, he must have brought it.

The prince still didn't give up: "His Excellency Count Rouen, we are all civilized people. We should look a little farther, and don't lose long-term interests because of greed for immediate interests. If you are willing to transfer the staff to His Royal Highness Prince, you will definitely be able to. Gain his friendship."

The friendship of that black-bellied child of Louis XI?

Unless Youfu Ma gives up Joan of Arc, it will never be possible to make friends with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

"Mr. Gioni Pallas, it is not the friendship of any Valois royal family that I am able to achieve what I am today."

Seeing Yofu Ma rejecting himself again, Gioni Palas was a little embarrassed.

As a mage, a learned occultist, a scholar who was always respected and admired at the universities of Paris, Florence, and Bologna, he had never experienced such a strong sense of frustration.

Gioni Pallas said in a low voice: "Count Rouen, can you really keep this staff? As far as I know, the Court of Purification is about to arrive at Chalon."

"Are you threatening me?"

"No, of course it's not a threat, it's just my kind reminder." Gioni Palas lowered his head, not looking directly into Yofu Ma's eyes.

"That's good. Because I'm a very cautious person. If there is a threat, I will do my best to eliminate it."

Gioni Pallas laughed dryly and left.

He returned to the prince's room with a gloomy face.After listening to Gioni Palas's remarks, Louis suppressed his anger and said, "Teacher, what should we do now, should we take other measures to deal with that arrogant Seris?"

"Don't act rashly, Your Royal Highness." Gioni Pallas has not lost his mind because of his anger, "We should exercise restraint for the time being and don't make any moves. The Court of Purification is about to come to Sharon, so let Ma Yofu go and talk to those from the Holy See. Deal with a lunatic, he'll pay for his arrogance. We can wait for the right opportunity to shoot."

……

A day later, a convoy arrived at Chalons.

The escorting knights rode majestic warhorses, shining in armor and well-armed.If there are professionals on the road, they must be able to feel the energy fluctuations emanating from them, and then move out of the way with awe.

They were guarding ten large carriages.Each wagon was pulled by eight horses, and judging from the deep ruts left in the mud, the wagons must be carrying a heavy load.

"This is the Court of Purification?" The young man on the roadside asked curiously, looking at the flags fluttering in the team -- the shields shining with holy light.

"I heard that these knights are strong men who have killed hundreds of monsters, and their weapons are dyed red with blood. Awesome!" Another young man looked at the fully armed knight in awe.

"The carriage is so heavy, will it be full of torture instruments used to torture the corrupted? It is said that those who have been corrupted by the Heretic God have lost their most basic rationality and emotion, and only the deepest pain can make them repent... "

At this time, a middle-aged man pulled the two young men into the house and scolded: "Two idiots who don't know how to live or die, if they offend the church elders, they will directly burn you to ashes as corruptors. !"

The motorcade quickly dispersed through the empty streets, and finally reached Notre-Dame de Vauong.

After a short rest, the leader of the convoy went to the castle to visit Charles VII.

Afterwards, the whole city of Sharon fell into a serious and uneasy atmosphere.

Taverns, brothels, theatres, baths have fewer customers.Even the most promiscuous man will obediently return home after dark.There are also more and more people cramming to church for Mass.

Even the nobles who gathered in Sharon for peace talks temporarily gave up the extravagant life of Ye Ye Shengge.It is said that a banquet is held every night, and the Lord Chancellor, who revels until the early hours of the morning, also gave up all social activities.His dinner was replaced by a glass of wine and three loaves of bread, like the most disciplined believer.

It was in this atmosphere that the Court of Purification sent an invitation to Youf Ma, hoping to meet him at Chateau Agaté in Chalon.

"Count of Rouen, you must pay attention to your words, and don't be caught by the people of the Holy See. In addition, you must be very calm, not panic, not weak. Remember, behind us are all the nobles of France... "When the Prime Minister heard the news, he ran over to chat with Youfu Ma.

When the spoils of war were divided up in Dijon, the palace minister was quite confident and believed that the religious power could not interfere with the legitimate rights and interests of the secular aristocracy.

But when things came to an end, this fellow was still panicking.

"Don't worry, Lord Chancellor of the Palace. Although the Court of Purification has a certain degree of independence, it is not so reckless that it dares to oppose the aristocratic class in the whole of Europe. The right to dispose of the spoils is the legitimate right of the victor, and it has been so for thousands of years. More What's more, we are still the heroes of defeating the invaders from other worlds, and it stands to reason that the church should reward us."
