Conquer the Dawn of Heaven
Vol 4 Chapter 59: Exchange "secrets"
Although he also guessed the importance he would receive as he accurately "predicted" a war, Alexander quickly discovered that he still somewhat ignored the importance people attached to him.
In addition to people like Kotszach and Gonzalo who will seriously use reason and judgment to guess the reason why he can get the news in advance, people seem to be more willing to believe that he can know that all this stems from some kind of mystery power.
In this statement by many people, Alexander seemed to be favored by a mysterious bohemian woman who showed him some kind of mysterious Mo while showing him his young and beautiful body The power of prediction.
In people's legends, this woman not only revealed a lot of secrets about the future of the past to Alexander, but also granted him how to obtain endless wealth.
This kind of legend quickly made Alexander not only a new way to become a discussion of people after the tea and dinner in the city of Rome, but also let Sophia enter the sight of the Romans again.
This reminded them of the daring things that the Bohemian girl had done in Rome before, and even the anger that Alexander killed Julia Farne brother in rage for Sophia Came out.
The Romans immediately became excited. This kind of story with typical mysticism and love, but involving many elements such as wealth and hatred made them instantly intrigued, even because of the murder of Giovanni It was left out for a while.
Alexandria was somewhat caught off guard against the sudden fame in such a way, but what he did not expect was Olgala's invitation to him.
Since the last time she refused the lady's invitation at Ashurk's house, Alexander has not met Olgala for some time.
Olgara had no way to guard against Alexander ’s near-too-violent precautions. She remembered Grogening ’s instructions deeply, and while noticing the young man, she did n’t easily bother his life, let alone Do things that make him disgusted and more prepared.
But this time she had to take the initiative to invite, because it was Ahulk who sent the invitation.
The Ottomans have apparently also received news of the war between Poland and Moldova, even though he knew it earlier than the Romans, but because of this he also knew better than others what this matter meant for everyone.
At the same time, his interest in Alexandria was also greater.
This time, Alexander did not reject Eshkolk's invitation.
Whether it is for his own purpose, or because of the mysterious relationship between Peloto Cardron and Maria de Luna, or for the role played by Ashurk in this matter What kind of role curiosity made him decide to visit the Ottoman messenger again.
Alexandria was the grand palace of Ashurk that he visited the next day.
Ashurk ’s home has always been very lively, and here Alexander even saw several regulars who often saw in the homes of Kotschah or other big nobles and cardinals.
Seeing Alexandria led by Olgala into the Ottoman-style tea room, Ashurk stood up from the floor covered with straw mats, and he walked over to greet Alexander kindly, seeming not to do anything at all The indifference shown by Alexander before was unpleasant.
"I think we must have had a misunderstanding before. If so, I have to reflect on whether I have failed to fulfill the responsibility of a master."
The words that the Ottomans were not conscious as outsiders made Alexander feel the deep arrogance and ambition.
He knew that the military aristocrats in the upper levels of the Ottoman Empire today were indeed filled with confidence with almost no reason.
In the nearly half a century since the capture of Constantinople, this kind of self-confidence has become more and more powerful as the attack of the Bayesite Sultan on the Balkan Peninsula countries becomes stronger. The Suleymanian era reached its peak many years later.
But Alexander also knew that, as he guessed, not to mention the ordinary Ottomans, even the cronies of the Sultan in front of him, probably thought that they would soon receive an order to attack the Italian mainland, even Pakistan. Yeset himself may also believe that in his lifetime, a war against Vienna or the Vatican may be launched.
"You have always been a competent host. I had to be a little rude and presumptuous because of other things."
Alexander smiled and responded to the Sudanese emissary's politeness, while repeatedly trying to figure out the purpose of this man's invitation to himself. Is there any other reason to spy on what is certain?
Ashurk smiled and listened to Alexander's perfunctory response, then he lowered his voice and said: "Since you are not dissatisfied with me, then if I want you to tell me something, I can get an answer from you Alright? "
Alexander nodded irresponsibly, wondering what Ashhulk was going to know from him.
At first he thought that it should be related to the flamboyant "prophecy" being spread in Rome, but then he felt that as an ashurk, even if he had a great interest in this matter, he would not be so anxious. Impatiently want to know the answer.
After all, for someone who believes in the Last Prophet, such things as prophecy are easily controversial.
Sure enough, after inviting Alexander to sit down, Ashurk looked at Alexander for a while, and suddenly asked: "Count, I want to know about the woman who is said to have revealed to you the impending war, In return, I can pay you any value you propose. "
Alexander was a little surprised. He didn't expect Ashulk to invite him so solemnly, actually wanting to know about Sophia from him!
Alexander thought quickly through all his thoughts. He could not guess the purpose of this Ottoman to know Sophia's thing, but because of this he had to answer more carefully.
"I don't think I can agree to your terms," Alexander stopped handing him a shisha maid. "This is my personal business. Although I don't know why you want to inquire, I can't promise you."
Ashurk looked at Alexander silently. The thick, slightly curled beard under his lips moved lightly, as if he was talking to himself, and after a while he moved away and sat a little away from Alexander. Nearer, I lowered my voice and said, "Jiang Ju, I have heard some legends about the woman and you, so I can understand your idea of trying to protect her, but because of this, I have to remind you If you really think about her, it ’s best to tell me about her, because only then can I help you, otherwise it will only make things worse for you and her. "
Alexander's heart suddenly shocked, almost doing his best, he let himself not show a strange look because of the shock, but only he knew that the hand that was originally placed next to him had already clenched the corner of the remaining straw mat.
"I don't know what you mean by bad, maybe you can understand it better."
Alexander said calmly that his eyes and the Ottomans stared at each other without compromise, while at the same time pondering quickly, what was the reason that would make Ashurk so eager to know about Sophia.
Alexander did n’t know. At this time, Ashurk was actually very annoyed in his heart. Although he guessed in advance that he would n’t get what he wanted to know so easily, it has been many years when he really faced tough Alexander Noble Vizier, who was not treated like this, was still very angry.
But thinking about the rumors that are now circulating in Moldova and other places, Ashurk had to be patient.
"I know that woman, or a girl is more suitable, she is a Roma," the messenger said patiently. "As far as I know, such a woman can not get a higher status in Rome even if she is beautiful. Even I I heard that it was because of you that the girl had to leave the city of Rome. Is that the case? "
Listening to Ashurk's words, Alexander's complexion dimmed.
For Sophia's forced departure, he never denied that it was precisely for his sake that he did not even evade the kind of thought he also thought was the best for this result.
But now Ashhurk's words made Alexander angry.
Regardless of the reason why the Ottoman wanted to know all this, Alexander had a feeling that this person obviously wanted to be against Sophia.
Alexandria's eyes narrowed slightly, he was thinking about whether he could hijack the Ottoman nobility before the arrival of the guard if he suddenly drew his sword and then forced him to say why he was so interested in Sophia.
Perhaps it was a little obvious to notice Alexander ’s strange appearance. Ashurk leaned back slightly, while his eyes were still fixed on the look on Alexander ’s face.
"I received some news from Greece," Ashurk's voice was slow but with a little temptation of calm. "On these days, there is a ridiculous legend circulating in those villages and mountains, although the real Wise people don't think that legend is true, but many stupid farmers and barbaric people in the mountains prefer to believe that nonsense ... "
Alexander was silent, he looked at Ashurk and waited for him to continue.
But Ashurk stopped as if deliberately, his eyes flicked across Alexander's face, looking at Orgala who was sitting in the tearoom not far away and chatting with his maid.
"Count, I heard that you are looking for clues about the murder of the Duke of Gandino?"
Ashurk's sudden change of subject made Alexander somewhat uncomfortable, but he nodded silently.
Silence is always the best defensive weapon when you can't figure out what the other party is trying to do for a while.
Ashurk seemed a little annoyed by Alexander ’s seemingly negative, but impeccable reaction. He grabbed the hookah with the tortoiseshell lid on his side and took a sip, then seemed to continue in a slightly calm mood
"I think I can provide you with a little information about the murder, but I hope you can keep my secret, at least not to let some people in the Vatican know that the information I provided to you."
Alexander remained silent, and he knew what Ashurk meant.
The Ottomans wanted to use the clues to murder Giovanni in exchange for news about Sophia from him.
What kind of rumors made this person actually want to use the clues to inquire about Sophia?
Alexander, who seemed still indifferent, was already very anxious, even uneasy.
It would not be a good thing to be so valued by Sudan.
Thinking about the cruelty of the Ottomans, Alexander's seemingly casual hand on his side was about to crush the corner under him.
"It's fair to use the exchanges we know, isn't it," Ashhurk finally put forward the conditions. "I just want to know the girl's news, and she has left you now, so what does she have to do with you?" , So why ca n’t you tell me, and what I can give you is better, at least to make you a messenger in front of your bishop. "
Alexander nodded slowly, not because he was tempted by the Ottomans, but because he wanted to know what the legend he said about the spread in Greece and the Balkans.
What kind of legend does it actually make Sudan uneasy?
Alexander did not think that Ashurk was so obsessed with wanting to know Sophia from him, just out of his personal curiosity.
The only reason why Vizier, who is beside a Sudan, can be so concerned is that it has only alarmed Sudan himself.
"Then I want to ask first, how much do you know about that girl?" Ashurk asked seriously.
How much do you know?
Alexandria's heart shook inexplicably, how much he knew Sophia, he knew her past, she knew the short life that was not complicated but quite tortuous before, knew her passionate and optimistic love for life, know more Once in a while, she even has a somewhat stubborn and exclusive character.
"She came with me from Sicily, and I knew she was a girl of the Bohemian tribe." Alexander said slowly, he knew that Ashirk could not tell him everything, but he had to know more about Ottoman What do people want to know.
"Sicily," Ashurk's face was calm, nothing special, but Alexander didn't know that his hand holding the long hookah of the hookah secretly clenched. "So what else do you know besides these, she Her parents, what about her loved ones? "
"According to the rules of fair trading, I think it should be changed for me to ask," Alexander said indifferently.
The Ottoman frowned slightly and made a "please" gesture with a light smile.
"Can you tell me who was involved in the clue that Duke Gandino was killed?"
Alexander wisely did not ask the question "Who is the murderer".
The name of a trivial perpetrator is sometimes completely meaningless in a murder involving a wide range of people. Often such a murderer is destined to be a victim from the beginning, and no valuable things will be obtained from such a murderer.
And who is involved, this topic is too broad, and because of all kinds of inextricable connections, it is impossible to expect to arbitrarily pass a irrelevant name.
Alexander did not think that Ashurk would make up a name to swindle news from him. After all, this would not only damage his reputation, but once spread, he would unwittingly involve himself in Giovanni's murder.
But apparently this Ottoman did not intend to say everything he wanted to know.
As Hulke shrugged helplessly to Alexander's little cunning, he groaned slightly, and then looked at Alexander as if determined.
"Let us all be honest and say what we know, which is good for us."
Having said that, waiting for Alexander to answer, Ashurk has continued to say: "In fact, this matter involves some Jews. What I can tell you is that someone seems to be doing something secretly, and the Duke of Gandino It seems that some of these clues have been found. This matter involves a transaction between some senior officials in the Vatican's Holy See and the Jews. I think this is also why the Duke was found killed in that place, and I was from Those Jews heard. "
After finishing talking, Ashurk smoked a spit, and he did n’t wait for Alexander to think about it. He continued: “I ’ve told you enough. Now tell me about the girl, and then I ’ll tell the Jew. name."
Alexander seemed to listen calmly, but he couldn't keep rolling, he didn't know how Giovanni's death would be related to the Jews, but think that Giovanni did die not far from the Jewish gathering area. Locally, this made him have to believe in Ashurk's words.
The point is, Ashhurk can also provide a name.
"What do you need to know?" Alexander said. "Sophia is a Bohemian. I know her father. Although their father and daughter have been separated for a long time, I believe they should have nothing worth your attention."
"Her father, is Nashan, a Bohemian?" Ashurk's eyes were fixed on Alexander. "So before you knew her, you said you knew her in Sicily, So tell me do you know how she got to Sicily? "
"Of course with her tribe."
"So her tribe came from, or did she tell you all this?"
"Sophia, can't talk," Alexander replied coldly. Although he never cared about Sophia's physical imperfection, he could not tolerate the seeming sympathy of others when he heard this, but he could not hide the hypocrisy of the high pity. She has never concealed anything from me ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ hasn't she concealed anything? "Ashurk looked at Alexander with a slightly deep look, and then said casually" I said there was a funny Legend, I think you will know it soon, so let me tell you better, because maybe you can still think of something you ignored before. "
As Ahulk said, he glanced at Olgala at the door: "For a long time, some places in Greece have been rumored that Constantine XI of the Roman Empire was in Greece when it invaded Athens. There was a legend about a girl, and after the great Sultan of Mohammed conquered Constantinople, the rumor that Constantine XI had a daughter fleeing the war was even more believed by many people, and According to this rumor, the princess fled to Crete under the protection of loyal followers, and then lived there for a long time, and then her descendants seemed to continue to escape west. Finally, the news about them appeared in Sicily. "
Speaking of which, Ashurk's eyes returned to Alexander's face.
"Now, do you know why I want to ask you about her news about her?"
Alexander stared blankly at the Ottomans in front of him. At this time, there was only one thought in my heart: Let's talk about it, don't you mean me?
