Eagle Byzantium

Third update today. I hope friends who still have monthly tickets can support me. Thank you Sula.

"I don't have much objection, as long as the Holy See thinks Bohemond is trustworthy. After all, his father Guiscat once committed atrocities against the city of Rome." Matilda replied.

When the former Pope Gregory VII took refuge in her castle in Canossa, he invited the Norman Duke of Apulia, Robert Guiscat, to lead an army to rescue him. The city of Rome was retaken, but his Normans also carried out a catastrophic burning, killing and looting of the city. The former eternal capital of Rome, under the slaughtering knife and arson of the victors, now not even an empty frame remains.

Thinking of this, even Urban held his own ring, looking very worried. The cardinals around him also became silent as they thought of the tragic situation many years ago.

At this moment, Owen Seth, the abbot of Monte Cassino Monastery, walked into the hall respectfully, stood before His Majesty the Pope, and looked politely at the gold blanket spread under the Pope's throne.

"Dear Owen Seth, I hope you can bring me good news." Urban coughed twice and raised his hands to indicate that the other party could speak.

"My common friend with His Majesty the Holy See, the hermit Peter heard about the battle in Bari and came all the way from the camp at Lake Leman. Originally, he was planning to take all the pilgrims to the east, but he still I came here with great concern for your Majesty, may I recommend him, or should I turn him away temporarily?"

"No, of course I hope to see him, the great and amiable hermit Peter. I have read thirteen of his letters. He is a true saint." The Pope agreed enthusiastically.

Wearing simple black clothes. Peter, a thin man with an ugly haircut and a dusty face, quickly crossed the front porch and arrived in front of the Pope's throne. He was frightened, climbed up the two steps on his knees, and took Urban's hand. Kissed the fingertips and ring in place.

"The selfish Normans cannot be trusted. They are by no means a reliable cornerstone under the Holy See." This was Peter's first sentence. "If possible, Bohemond would even surrender to the Byzantine emperor to seek help." If you want to establish a country in the east, you will naturally not be afraid of being an enemy of anyone here."

"Thank you for teaching me - but can you tell me who I should trust?"

"I believe in this loyal and selfless princess." After saying that, Peter bowed to Matilda. The Duchess also stood up with a smile and returned the greeting, and then the hermit knelt in front of the Pope's knees again, "Also, please believe that my sworn brother Stephen Gawain is the Greek Empire general who is currently guarding the city of Bari."

This sentence surprised the Pope. The hermit actually asked him to trust an enemy general of the barbarians, and just in the past six months. This Gawain expelled almost all Catholic monks in southern Italy and turned the city of Bari into a nail in the road before the Eastern Expedition.

"Holy Holy See, please forgive me. My sworn brother Gao Wen was also a believer in the north. Later, he went to the Holy Land alone for pilgrimage. He was captured by Turkic pagans in Anatolia and suffered many hardships. Later, he became Saint George and Saint Michael. Il appeared as a saint and gave him an indestructible sword specially designed to kill heretics, so he escorted me all the way until I was safely transported from Constantinople. The ship has stopped. I also landed in the city of Bari before, where I had a dream of Saint Nicholas. In his dream, he said that he had also given a cable and an arrow to Gawain. It is true that the Romans of East and West can be brought into the same ship with the cable, and that the evil pagan kingdom can be pierced with the arrow."

The more Peter spoke, the more excited he became, and the more he spoke, the more excited he became. On top of his ugly face, there is a pair of radiant eyes, which are almost the most eye-catching organ in his entire body. In his speeches, he can project the power to inspire and confuse people, even the Pope and the Tuscan woman. The Duke was no exception, and Urban himself even leaned down and touched the crimson silk robe draped around him: No matter how true Peter's words were, he really needed a mythical and legendary figure now to help him. The flag of the Eastern Expedition is painted brightly.

All the cardinals in the entire hall around the Holy See were also attracted, and the surroundings of Peter were radiating a dazzling light because of his words.

"Your Majesty the Holy See, my sworn brother Gawain just accepted the order of the Greek emperor and resisted the atrocities of the Normans. He was not an enemy of the city of Rome. Around this glorious palace, there are all tigers and wolves. There are the Caesars of Germany, the evil Philip of France, the Normans who are unwilling to lie dormant, and the ambiguous Emperor of Constantinople. Of course, these should not become In order to cover the clouds in your wise eyes, in order to restore the tomb of the Holy Son, I have traveled half of the world. There are loyal and courageous people everywhere. This is the strongest cornerstone of your Holy See, and the same is true for Gawain. ——As long as you allow me to go to the city of Bari as an envoy, I guarantee that this warrior can belong to your crown, the Holy See, and Bouillon Godfrey, who was sent by the German Caesar..."

"The true knight, Godfrey of Bouillon, his spirit is far greater than his sword." The excited Urban held Peter's withered hand, "In other words, Gawain is the Lord. Divine revelation given to us.”

"That's right, the messenger and the revelation." Peter also held the Pope's hand in reverse, and soon a meticulous and foolproof plan was formed in the hearts of the Pope and Matilda.

But the Duchess suddenly asked Peter, "Respected hermit, I heard that you were a noble before and had a wife."

"That's right." Peter said bluntly.

"Then why did you leave your wife? Please tell me the real reason." Matilda's aging eyes suddenly stared at Peter, and Welf beside her suddenly felt a chill on his back and lowered his head, while Placidus looked at Peter with a suspicious and frivolous look, as if she also wanted to see if his answer was different.

Read the correct version in 1619 Book Bar!

"I once hoped to visit the Holy Sepulchre with my wife, and I hoped to settle down in the Holy City with her, to provide convenience and services to pilgrims from all over the world, and to fight against the tyranny of pagans. But my wife did not understand me, she laughed at my recklessness, I did not care about her appearance and character, and finally just felt that the world was different from her." When Peter said this frankly, Matilda sighed, then smiled with satisfaction, and said to the hermit, "I also agree with the Holy See's opinion, and I even want to meet your brother. If he is really as you said, I am willing to give him the most fertile two thousand Hufu land in the territory inheritance as a fund for his expedition." (To be continued ~^~)
