Conquer the Dawn of Heaven
Chapter 51: Lighthouse Guardian ’s Duties
Alexander came to the office of Camille in the south wing of the palace, but how many years later.
And the room in the impression is different from what he sees now. At least on the side of the wall that is completely made of smooth rough stone, there is not yet a picture of the "admired Peter's Cathedral" "Oil painting, but a few pieces of armor that looks old.
It can be seen from the repaired traces on the armor that these armor have really experienced the test of life and death along with the master on the battlefield, not just for display and display.
Camille was dressed in black and was sitting in a chair with a high back. Even though he was still healthy, after all, he appeared to be a shriveled and thin face because of his high age. Comfortable.
Seeing Alexander walking into the room, the governor slightly owed his body, beckoning, and then he waved to a man with a rather pale blonde hair standing behind him, who pushed his seat Walking to the table, it turned out to be a wheelchair with four small wheels underneath.
"Old people, the body is always inconvenient," Camille smiled self-deprecatingly, but the expression was very relaxed, and it didn't seem to be really because of his age. "We have lived too long. I have seen too many things, especially me. Sometimes I am thinking that if I just sit and suddenly die, it may be God ’s greatest favor. "
Alexander listened quietly. He knew that the ruling Camille did not need his response. No matter whether the old man said that these were sentimentally, or if he wanted to use the questions to play next, he should listen carefully.
Because, as Camuri himself said, he did live too long, 80 years old is considered a longevity even in the later generations, not to mention in this era.
What's more, many elderly people may not really be able to experience so many things like Camille.
"I'm going to be 80 soon," Camuli's eyes seemed to be in a certain confusion, but when the man behind him handed over a pungent box that smelled a bit pungent, he reached out and blocked it. "Thank you Feituo, Not needed now. "
Said that it seemed to him that he remembered it, then pointed back and said to Alexander: "This is Fei Tuo, my secretary."
The blond man stepped forward slightly, and then retreated, not speaking from beginning to end.
"Isn't it boring to listen to an old man's chatter," Camille smiled happily, but because his teeth were all gone, his mouth was like a deflated purse but only a few jitters, the laughter seemed a bit vague "Please sit down, we have a lot to say."
At this time, Alexander nodded and sat across from Camille, and then he saw an open letter in the middle of the table.
He immediately realized that maybe Camille had come to him for this letter.
"I heard that Captain Bochum has found the main culprit in the **** night?" Camuary looked at Alexandria. His eyes were muddy as if he would fall asleep at any time because of fatigue, but his eyes were firm, letting Alexander felt the oppression and exploration. "But I have also received opposition from some nobles. Although they believe that Klien must be punished, his family should not suffer that kind of injury. This is an infamous thing. "
Alexander nodded his head lightly, of course he heard objections about his dissatisfaction with the detained Krian family, including both noblemen and some trade unionists. Alexander understood that in those people ’s eyes, Bochum ’s actions were not just against Croatia Li'an personally, they are more worried that this behavior will become widespread throughout Palermo.
"The ruling lord, the captain of Bochum is responsible for the safety of all Palermo people," Alexander said, he did not disguise his support for Bochum in this matter, and he could vaguely feel that those who opposed People do not necessarily express dissatisfaction with Bochum. "Please also make sure to explain to everyone that Krian is a very dangerous person. If someone saw the cruelty and ferocity of his murder at that time, he would not think it was just a secret Conspirator of planning. "
Speaking of a little bit of this Alexander, he remembered Kunto. Although the brothers had different styles, it was clear that they were indeed dangerous people. This danger came entirely from themselves, which reminded Alexander of Alfonso. Those just published sound terrifying, but if you look back carefully, you will find some of them quite suspicious.
"In addition, this Krian should have a deep relationship with the French. Considering the misfortune of the former bishop, the proper use of certain methods should be allowed."
Speaking of where Alexander stopped, he was a little bit uncomfortable. Thinking about the situation in which he and Sophia were locked in a dungeon, he knew that the things he did today were actually similar to Pelon's behavior. The only difference was that he I won't insult Klian's family, but what's the difference? They are all using innocent people.
But he knew he could only do this, whether it was Klien or Alfonso, he had not only become his enemy, but for some reason that only he knew, his taboo against those two was even better than the palace. Mrs. Xiang is even deeper.
After all, the relationship between them and Modillo made Alexander always uneasy.
"I said, I have lived too long," Camuelli exclaimed. "A lot of things have changed. It's different from what we were before, French ..." Camuelli shook his head and stretched out to shrivel. 'S hand tapped on the hard desktop "I have seen their bravery and self-sacrifice in the most difficult times, and their most despicable actions. These are all done by the French. At that time, I was with them. Fighting against the British, so I am very clear to them. Now that they are our enemies, it is up to us to confront them with these means. "
Alexander looked at the old spots on Camille's face. He suddenly remembered the age of the old man in front of him. He should have experienced the protracted centuries of war, at least the end of that war.
Seemingly seeing through Alexander's thoughts, Camille pointed slightly to the side against the wall: "There, all the armor I wore back then, one of them was blessed by the Archbishop of Paris, that was in 1437, But there were hundreds of people who were blessed with me at the time. "So, Camille showed a self-deprecating smile.
Alexander knew why Camille smiled so much.
In 1437, it was the day when the French finally recovered the capital Paris after a hundred years of hard work.
At the time, in order to commend the warriors who contributed to the recovery of the capital, a grand blessing mass was held. During that mass, the Archbishop of Paris blessed hundreds of brave knights who fought bravely.
Camueli, an old Sicilian man who had participated in and witnessed the outcome of the centuries-old war, as he said himself, had seen the French against the British.
"Tell the captain that I personally support his devotion to Palermo's safety," Camuelli's speech was slow, but still clear, and his eyes were condensed, and it was clear that he was at this time. What to say "The French may be in trouble in Sicily, no matter how the king views it, as a Sicilian, protecting Sicily is the responsibility of every noble."
Alexander still nodded. He noticed that there was a little emotion vaguely revealed in Ferdinand II, king of Sicily, in Camille ’s words, but this is not surprising. After all, for Ferdinand II, God Gong is his real country. Sicily, despite its importance, always carries the meaning of "adding heads".
This thought of being regarded as "second-class goods" has kept Sicilian people in their hearts, at least from the voices against the detention of Krian, for those people, Krian is guilty, but completely There is no need to break the Sicilian peace because of the hostility between the king and the French.
"I will pass on your opinion to Captain Bochum." Alexander looked at Camille, and he felt that it wouldn't be just that Camille called him, it was obviously on the table. The letter kept reminding him that the matter about the Krian family was just the beginning, and the really important things should not be said yet.
Sure enough, Camille reached for the letter and opened it, then pushed it to Alexander: "There is one more thing, it seems to be a good thing now, but it seems a little troublesome."
Alexander received the letter, and when he saw the signature on the envelope that was opened, his heart jumped!
Modillo, actually Modillo!
He could feel the heart beating continuously, and even the hand connected to the letter was uncontrollably trembling. At this moment, it was really difficult to calm down, calm down, or be quiet.
He can only let himself do his best not to be disturbed by uneasiness, and then by deliberately slowing down the time to open the letter, he calms down his beating heart slowly.
This is a letter from Naples. The person who wrote the letter is gorgeous and rigorously worded, but it can still feel the power of restraint and confidence from the lines of the words. Even when describing the sufferings that have been experienced, the letter writer can still be seen. Disdain those frustrations.
The letter was addressed to Gongxiang Gomez, and the person who wrote the letter was Count Modillo of Naples.
The content of the letter is very simple. After the invasion and short flight by King Charles VIII of France, the royal family of Naples has regained the land with the support of the Holy Roman Empire and Aragon and the Pope, but although the flight has not been long, But Naples still suffered a great deal of damage, even at the boundary between the two Sicilian kingdoms, the calm that had been maintained was also broken by the chaos of this brief period.
"Because of the destruction and rudeness of the French, it can be imagined that the neighbors who had been dear to each other also gave birth to filth, which is the most saddening," the letter ’s regretful expression made Alexander, although he had not seen the Modillo, I can already feel that this seems to be a difficult slider to deal with. "So while the king will return to orthodoxy and establish the original majesty, he hopes to re-establish the destroyed order with the brotherhood over the lighthouse. This is the king of our country. My wish is also my personal hope. After all, we have received noble support from Aragon, which gives us confidence to continue to maintain the great friendship as a brother country of the same origin. "
Alexander looked at the letter in his hand. At this time, his originally uneasy emotions had stabilized. Obviously, the letter was not directed at him, but a cautious and high-profile diplomatic decree.
"Count Duca Modillo," Camuille refers to the envelope "is the Prime Minister of the North."
"Like Master Gomez?" Alexander asked softly. He knew that Camille's so-called north means Naples, only because Naples also had the name of the Kingdom of Sicily.
Camuli nodded silently, then stood up slowly, looking at Alexander who was standing up: "Modilo is the Prime Minister and the Earl of Naples, and he is also the strongest unification of the kingdom."
"Kingdom unifier?"
After only a moment of hesitation, Alexander understood what Camuri said.
Since being divided into two Sicily, people have been pursuing the reunification of the two Sicilian kingdoms for many years. Although as a latecomer, Alexander knows that this desire has never been realized in history, but it does not mean that this era Those who hold such ideals will think that such a thing is impossible.
Suddenly, Alexander felt like he had grasped something that had always puzzled him before, thinking about the wonderful life of the fat man Modillo in the monastery, and thinking about Alfonso's importance to Modillo, and The ideal of Count Modillo of Naples, he felt that he had finally discovered what seemed to be clueless.
"Excuse me, what do you ask me to do?" Alexander asked the letter back on the table.
Of course Camuri would n’t just look for him just to show him the letter. UU reading www. uukanshu.com
"We need to negotiate with the North," Camuli said slowly. "At this very moment, it is very special for both Sicily, so we hope that someone who can make the North feel valued will come Complete this negotiation. "
"Are you saying ... me?" Alexander asked tentatively, but he had already guessed this possibility after reading the letter.
"You are the guardian of the lighthouse, and the lighthouse is a sign that separates the two Sicilians," Camueli looks at Alexander ". Of course we will send other people to go with you, but your identity is the most suitable."
Uses a lighthouse as the boundary to divide the original Sicilian kingdom into two different countries, north and south. Of course, Alexander knows this.
This is probably the real plan to give him this title.
Alexander vaguely guessed Camuri's intention.
A person who may be supported by many bishops and has a deep relationship with the captain of the city defense is not necessarily a threat to the council.
Then, when this person cannot be removed, it is the best way to send him far away.
How long does it take for a mission? Maybe a few months, maybe a year, when he returns, everything may have changed.
"For the sake of Sicily's honor, I hope you can complete the mission entrusted to you by this panel."
This is a message from Camuelli before leaving.
It ’s just that after Alexander left, he looked at the door and Camille murmured to the secretary who came over: "You know, Fei Tuo, I saw a legendary girl when I was young, that girl even changed the fate of a country At that time, no one believed she could do it, but she made a miracle. I have seen her eyes, and today I seem to have seen it again. "
