Continental Warriors Yoo Ma

Volga nodded and said nothing.

After breakfast, the team set off again.After arriving in Lille, Volgar and Jean Broux led a large force to continue northwards to meet the commander who attacked Calais, the Count of Luxembourg.

Yofu Ma and his group turned to the east and quickly entered the Flanders area.

Chapter 120 Four Sleeping Beauty

Achievement: Voyager V, done.

You step into a new area.The customs and culture here are very different from where they lived before.Your understanding of the world goes a step further.

You gain 40 diplomatic points.

With the system prompts in his mind, Yoof Ma arrived in Ghent.

North of the Alps, it is the largest city except Paris, with a population of more than [-], a prosperous woolen industry and trade, and a developed economy.

In history, two famous nobles were born in this city.One is the Duke of Lancaster, John of Ghent.

He was the younger brother of Edward the Black Prince, the founder of the Lancaster line of gorse that now rules England.Sons, grandsons, great-grandchildren all wear the Crown of England.

As for the other nobleman, he was even more famous.That is the emperor of the Holy Roman Empire Habsburg Dynasty, the king of Spain, the ruler of the first empire on which the sun never sets, Charles V.

Of course, whether or not Charles V will be born on this world line is a question.

Ghent was built at the confluence of the Shelter River and the Ley River. The dense rivers meandering and intersecting in the city, making the whole city look different from the French cities Mayouf visited.

The group soon arrived at the Earl of Flanders Palace.After taking a shower and taking a rest, Ma Yof met Philip III at dinner.

The Duke was very enthusiastic, and he kept introducing his daughter's hobbies to Yof Ma, as if he couldn't wait to sell Mary.

Isabella, the Duchess, was even and steady, only saying a few words occasionally.Unlike another piece of history, Philip III already had two children when the Portuguese princess married into Burgundy.She was just a stepmother who had just been married for a year, and her status was a bit awkward, so it was hard to say anything more about Mary's marriage.

However, if she also gave birth to a child of Philip III, the situation would be different.At that time, there must be a conspiracy to compete for the right of inheritance.

On the contrary, the eldest son of the duke who was called "Bold Charlie" in history, and the famous "Cracked Skull" terrier, has the most sincere and friendly attitude towards Youfu Ma.

The two talked a lot about the details of the battle at Sharon.

Hearing Yoof Ma said that his artillery had beaten the English longbowmen to no avail, Charles couldn't help clapping and applauding, and excitedly said to Philip III: "Father, we in Burgundy should also build a strong field artillery!"

The heir to the duke was still at the age of high school in his previous life, but he had already received a complete military education and studied government affairs with his father.Moreover, he is also an extraordinary person in the knight profession, and it is said that he has a good talent.

The Burgundian army was inferior to England in infantry and inferior to France in cavalry.This situation cannot be changed in a short period of time. To strengthen the combat effectiveness, we can only focus on the new thing of artillery.

Although Bold Charlie is not very good at governing the country, his military ability is still good.

Philip III was still old-fashioned and felt that artillery could only play a role in siege warfare.But now that his son spoke up, the duke, who was not short of money, nodded and said, "Well, it's a good thing to have the courage to accept new things. I will give you a special sum to let you try to build a new type of artillery."

"Your Majesty, during your stay in Ghent, I hope to come and ask for advice from time to time."

"Of course it can. As for the use of artillery, I also started from scratch and moved forward step by step. If the wisdom of more people can be gathered together, it will definitely help."

It's nothing to discuss, but the core technology of the 30-type cavalry gun must not be leaked.

"Praise you for your generosity and generosity!" Charlie toasted Yof Ma and added, "If you could be my brother-in-law, that would be great. There are not many other noble children who came to Mary's birthday party. It's a good thing, except for identity, many people are just thinking about how to cheat more money from their fathers after they get married!"

"Okay, Charlie, pay attention to your language!" Philip III stopped Charlie from continuing to hunt down the suitors of his daughter, "There are a few young people who are good, such as Albrecht from Habsburg, and Albrecht from Bavaria. Bert..."

"It's a pity that Marie is ill. She will be satisfied when she sees the Marquis of Lamanche." Charlie shook his head regretfully.

Youf Ma was quite surprised by Charlie's words.He also thought that Mary's illness was made up by Philip III who arrived at Chalon one step later in order to fight for face with the French King.

I didn't expect that the little princess was really sick.

He does have a "panacea" on hand, which can probably cure Princess Mary's illness.But think about it, it's not necessary.Philip III, a father, is not in a hurry, presumably it is not a serious illness.Besides, it is not necessary for me to marry Princess Mary. The two sides have said no more than ten sentences together, and it is not worth giving such a precious prop for a stranger.

"Charlie, I will arrange a suitable marriage for Mary, don't worry." Philip III obviously didn't want to talk about this topic.

Next, everyone chatted about topics such as art and customs.

After a relaxed and happy dinner, Mayouf left Earl's Court and went to the "Silver Herring", an upscale hotel near St. Bavo's Church.He packaged it down as a base for this lowland trip.

After seeing Yoof Ma away, Philip III came to his daughter's room.

He knocked on the door, but there was no response.

After waiting for a while, Philip III simply waved back the servant, pushed the door and walked in.

On a walnut bed decorated with the three Greek virgin goddesses Athena, Artemis, and Hestia, lay a young girl.

She closed her eyes, her expression was peaceful, and she seemed to be immersed in dreamland.

This has been going on for three days.And it's happened twice before.

It would be fine if Mary's illness was just a "long sleep".As long as you can get married and have children.Maybe after the princess' illness is spread as an anecdote, some people will create fairy tales like "Sleeping Beauty" based on her.

But Mary's current situation made Philip III entangled in his heart and often woke up in the middle of the night. Even the color novels written by the Seris were too worried to read.

If you look closely at the current Mary, you will find that there is a clear gap between her back and the sheets, and it is suspended on the bed!

Occasionally, colorful rays of light flashed across the girl's body, as if there was a looming light film covering her body.

And Mary's dark chestnut hair has now turned into a bright pink!

Since the abnormality appeared on his daughter more than a month ago, Philip III has spent a lot of money and invited many knowledgeable mages, priests, and alchemists to find the reason.

In the end, everyone came to a unanimous conclusion: "Congratulations to the Duke, your daughter has awakened the blood of a giant dragon, and it is a very rare species! This is a symbol of the Burgundian family being blessed by the Seven Saints! Congratulations, congratulations! "

The Burgundian family is a branch of the Valois family.The Valois family is also a branch of the Capet family.The Capetian dynasty, which ruled France for more than 300 years, was the father of the first king Hugo Capet, Hugo the Great, a dragon vein warlock.

But this all goes back to the Frankish period.

From another world, the blood of a species with extraordinary power, if it flows into the body of the aborigines of the earth, then its inheritance will become very unstable.

This is especially true of the dragon bloodline, which is much stronger than the dark elf bloodline.

If you do a careful calculation, only a few nobles of the Cape family, such as Philip II, who was once brilliant with the Lionheart King, and Philip IV, who destroyed the Knights Templar, have awakened the dragon in history. the power of.

Unexpectedly, in the Burgundy family where Capet's bloodline is so thin that it stands to reason, a dragon-blood person actually appeared.

Moreover, it is still some kind of rare dragon blood.

Because Mary's immature body can't carry the huge dragon power smoothly, she often falls into a deep sleep to absorb the power better.

Although having a powerful daughter was a good thing for Philip III, it also added a lot of troubles.

The first is that Mary's character has undergone some changes.

After waking up from her slumber for the first time, Marie was no longer the innocent, pure, sweet and heart-wrenching little French lady.In his words and deeds, there is a little more intelligence and maturity that does not match his age.

Had it not been checked by the priest to confirm that there was no problem with Mary's soul, and that various living habits had not changed, Philip III would have thought that his daughter's body had been occupied by other beings.

Of course, even so, the duke would probably grit his teeth and pretend he didn't know, continue to maintain a life of filial piety to his father and daughter, and then find an opportunity to marry her off in exchange for political benefits, and never see each other again in old age.

The first time she fell asleep, Mary awakened the power of the dragon, and she could walk in the air, release the breath of the dragon, and cast various spells.

After waking up from her deep sleep for the second time, Mary sang a spell directly, and countless gold coins fell from the sky, turning the room into a golden dragon cave.

While everyone was stunned, the little princess said indifferently, "This is a gift from the Dragon God."

Now is the third time to fall asleep.

I don't know what power my daughter will gain when she wakes up...

Just when the old father sighed, the princess on the bed opened her eyes.

She straightened her petite body, looked around in a floating state, and a rainbow-like light flashed in her eyes.

Later, the little princess threw herself into the arms of Philip III.

"My little bird, what gift did you get from the Dragon God this time?" asked Philip III.

"It's nothing, father. It's just stronger. Even if thirty brothers Charlie come together, they can't beat me." The little princess smiled lightly and got out of her father's arms.

"..." Philip III was speechless for a while before he said, "It's great that you woke up in time. In order to celebrate your birthday, half of Europe's outstanding unmarried nobles gathered in Ghent. You can definitely choose a good husband."

"Father, I hope my marriage can be decided by myself, okay?" Mary said pitifully, holding her heart in both hands.

Chapter 120 Five Compromise Between Father and Daughter

Facing his daughter, Philip III didn't know what to show for a while.

It is a matter of course for a daughter of a noble family to have her marriage arranged by her parents and sacrifice for the interests of the family. How could the child be allowed to make her own decisions?

The Duke of Burgundy originally wanted to scold Marie for her whimsy, but he held back when the words hit his throat.

Now the situation has changed!

Today's Mary is more powerful than any knight under the Duke's command, and any court mages.If she fell in love with some stinky boy and wanted to elope at night, no one could stop her!And Mary even has the special ability to conjure gold coins out of thin air, and it is absolutely impossible to use the economy to limit her.

It can be said that if the little princess wants to pursue free love, no one can stop it.Even if it is forcibly stopped, it will pay a huge price, and it will even lead to the father and daughter turning against each other, and the Burgundy family will be discredited.

This is a worthwhile thing.

So now, if he wants to rely on his daughter to marry and enhance the strength of the principality, Philip III cannot use the tough tactics of feudal parents, and must discuss with his daughter carefully.

As Youfu Ma expected, the news that Philip III previously released to young handsome men from all over the world: I want to choose a husband for my daughter, I am very optimistic about you, and so on.The purpose is to hope that the young men must be courageous, full of confidence, not afraid of setbacks, and strive to pursue their daughters, so as not to give up easily because of some unusual things that Mary shows.

The extraordinary daughter also brought extraordinary pressure to herself.

Seeing that although Mary was still young, her face was as beautiful as a fairy in a lake, Philip III sat on the sofa and poured himself a glass of wine.

After calming down his complicated mood with alcohol, he said, "Mary, how about this. You can choose your husband freely. But your husband must choose from the range I set, how?"

"Okay, father." Mary nodded.

She was educated from an early age to be a traditional noble woman.Even if she acquires a powerful power that can control her own destiny, she cannot suddenly transform into a rebellious girl who is free and can rebel against her family.

"Father, are there any outstanding candidates you have selected for me?"

Seeing his daughter's curious question, Philip III said: "There are many male nobles of the right age who come to your birthday party, but most of them are just making up the number. The only effect is to make your party more gorgeous and lively."

He continued: "I really like three people who are qualified to be your husbands. The first is Albert, the son of the Duke of Bavaria-Munich. He is from your grandmother's Wittelsbach family, and he is yours. Cousin, the two sides are very familiar. That child has a good character and will definitely treat you well after marriage. It's just that the Duchy of Bavaria is now divided into three, and it is the weakest in terms of power.

The second is Albrecht from the Habsburgs.The son of Duke Albrecht IV of Austria, he was tall, strong, energetic, and joined the Dragon Knights of the Holy Roman Emperor at a young age.Everyone is saying that the Habsburgs will grow in his hands. "

"Austrians? I heard that it's the frontier of the Empire. It's often harassed by the Tatars. It's savage and backward. The Italians and the French are already using knives and forks, but the Germans are still grabbing meat with their hands." Mary frowned slightly. .

"It's not that exaggerated. Albrecht is a humble and polite young nobleman, not a barbarian who drinks blood. Also, Hungarians are not Tatars." Philip III patiently corrected his daughter's misunderstanding and then said:

"The third person, you have also met, is Mayouuf of Ceris, the Marquis of Lamanche and the Count of Rouen in France. You should know his deeds very well, so I won't say more."

"Yes, Brother Charlie mentions Mr. Yofu Ma almost every day." Mary smiled lightly.

"You can watch these three people carefully. Of course, if you like other people, I will agree."

"If I despise the nobles chosen by my father, I hope to have the right to remain single." Mary put forward another condition.
