Eagle Byzantium

So Gawain walked lightly, walked down the stairs, and came to the stables on the first floor. At this time, he heard the chirping of birds.

On a branch extending in from the window hole, stood a bird with gray feathers and a white back, its black bean-like eyes fixed on Gawain. The self-proclaimed Grand Duke called the bird twice, originally thinking that it would flutter away and fly away, but the bird's expression was very strange and it continued to stare at Gawain calmly.

There were two sneezing sounds, and Sabina behind the gate stood up on her front feet warily, as if she also felt that the situation was a little strange.

Now Gawain became alert. He held on to the pillar and looked at the bird. Then, relying on his familiar feelings, he announced his name, "It's you, Ajiehe, or Ajiehe's messenger." ?”

The rain continues to fall, with a frequency that never gets tired of being annoying.

"Don't be surprised, my Grand Duke, last night I was stuck on the window lattice upstairs, watching you in the rain and lightning, but you didn't pay attention to me at all." The bird was hoarse like a myna. The voice spoke.

"I remember you once said that you can transform seven times in one day. But why did you turn into such an ugly cuckoo?" Gawain then tied the open collar on his chest without any great surprise. , walked towards the washstand.

"Your ability has encountered a great danger, you are a tall, handsome but greedy guy." Artiehe transformed into a cuckoo, and then said with a slightly angry tone, "If you are willing to sleep with all the ladies in the world, It's not difficult to do, but it's always the man who suffers. In that world, I still rely on your continuous improvement in ability, but look at you last night. What did you do? You made the beautiful young widow sing seven songs in a row without any shame. Many of your tricks came from that world. Besides, why. You didn't listen to my admonishment and stayed in Alexios' imperial capital, but you continued to meet with that guy Peter in Italy..."

Down below, not a single syllable came out of the cuckoo's throat, for Gawain's hands, quick as lightning, twisted the poor bird's neck. "Ajiehe, I know this can't kill you, but from what I saw today, I can see your weakness. That is, I was baptized, but your strength has been weakened a lot. The evidence of this is that you speak angrily. And you have also changed. Come to see me in this state, what is your secret?" Gawain said in a condescending tone, with feathers falling continuously, accompanied by the tragic call of a cuckoo and the flapping of wings, "You will kill me. Gawain?"

"No, I never kill a woman, nor will I kill a weak bird."

"Then let's continue to cooperate. Cooperate."

"Send me back to my original world."

"This is impossible Gawain, the contract has already taken effect." The cuckoo shouted weakly, spitting out its red tongue.

"Then tell me, how far will I go in fulfilling the contract?" Gawain loosened his hand slightly.

"To the point where you can do whatever you want in this world. And use your charm carefully. Fortunately, it is Inglina this time. I understand your wisdom. You have not acted recklessly in this world, but you still have to be careful. "After saying this, Gawain let go of the cuckoo. The bird hurriedly flew back to the branch, "I owe you the kindness of not killing. I'll do it again next time, but you will have to go back to Constantinople sooner or later. You can't get rid of the fate there. Now. I pointed out your mistake, that is, your body betrayed Princess Anna."

"I'm just a warrior fighting for the eldest princess. Besides, I didn't betray her cause at all."

"No. The eldest princess doesn't think so. She will definitely think that you betrayed her, poor girl." The cuckoo transformed by Ajiehe saw the surprised and annoyed Gawain, and the dark bird's face seemed to creak. He laughed, and then used his long and flat mouth to comb the wet hair. The feather left a warning, "Forget it Ingrina, but don't touch other women. This is for your own good. Go back to the eldest princess as soon as possible." Then the bird's toes flew up The branches opened, flew up, passed through the holes in the window, and quickly dissipated behind the rain curtain and fog.

Gawain was thoughtful, then washed his face, climbed the stairs again, and saw Inglina had woken up on the bed, with her golden hair hanging down, looking at him with sweet eyes, and wrapped the blanket in Above the body, two strong and tight calves overlapped sideways, rubbing together shyly. Gawain laughed gently and sat back on the bed, with his back to Ingrina. The widow leaned over and hugged him from behind, "I am not a believer who sticks to myself. I betrayed myself last night. , but I feel that my soul has been ferried. May God bless everything to start well and end well.”

"Ingrina, but the devil never sleeps either."

"Yes, we all suffered. I betrayed the name of Messadeni..."

"Betrayal?" Gawain continued to look at the red feathered helmet and visor given to him by Anna, his heartbeat swaying even more, but then Yinglina's gentle hug temporarily calmed him down and made him clear. What were his responsibilities and obligations? He held the widow's fingertips and said comfortingly, "It's okay. We are both traitors anyway. We can form a rebel army."

The widow who said this also laughed, "I brought everything I should bring. In the future, I will build the city of Bari into the center of the entire Italian silk industry."

After the Norman siege troops withdrew, Bari immediately regained its prosperity. This was what Gawain had designed long ago: Venice, Ragusa and Bari formed a small ocean triangular trade circle, and everyone benefited from it. In front of the dome of the white cathedral, the hermit Peter under the stone pillars of the square was shouting at the top of his lungs. Many pilgrims and pilgrims surrounded him, listening to his encouragement for the expedition to the East. "The patriarch in the East told me, and I heard him with my own ears. He said that in Jerusalem, the power of Christians is not as great as that of a mouse. Everyone either pays endless tributes and lives under the tyranny of pagans, or has to suffer the death penalty and die miserably. So I made up my mind to spend my whole life to inspire the Holy See of Rome, the two empires. Emperor Caesar, noble dukes and earls from all over the world, go to the East to recover the Holy City and save the believers. Before I returned here, I saw countless miracles along the way, and even the Lord appeared in my dream. He told me to carry all the letters engraved with the Holy Cross, and called on you to hold high the banner with the Holy Cross regardless of your wealth. The Lord asked me to tell everyone, including you, that the door of heaven has been opened, opened to the believers who are called and chosen! "

A correct version of the book in 16-9!

"The door of heaven is open!" After hearing this, almost all the thousands of pilgrims and pilgrims present knelt down and worshiped the spire of St. Nicholas Cathedral. (To be continued ~^~)
