Eagle Byzantium

Of course, the distress of Earl Raymond who was far away in Laodicea City was not felt by foreigners. At least Agnes in Seleucia City still lingered here and did not want to return to the court of Tarsus. Here, I spent one sweet and affectionate night after another with Wen Ruomingna and other beautiful girls, and I didn't want to go back to Gawain to submit the fleet plan and the inspection report to Alamein's "Ladder Water Wheel Workshop".

In the morning light, Wen Ruomingna leaned her upper body on Agnes's chest, and both of them were wrapped in a thin silk blanket and fell asleep. The long night passed, and the blue-gray light shone through the window grille. On the furniture, floor, and bed curtains, the incense burner was still emitting a faint fragrance.

Until a shrill horn sound came from under the Acropolis, and the little sunfish woke up and shouted, "Spare my oyster roe!" She got up and pushed the dizzy Wen Ruomingna away, jumped off the bed, and then took out her underwear from the closet. He hurriedly put on his robe.

"What's wrong?" Wen Ruomingna covered her body with the silk blanket, half-opening her sleepy eyes, and her hair was messy.

Boom, boom, boom!

There was a hurried knock on the door, and after a while, three other Ani girls came in, gesticulating hurriedly: Just now, a group of elite guard soldiers entered the city gate.

On the spiral staircase going down from the Acropolis, Little Sunfish kept nervously asking who the commander of the Guard soldiers was and what his purpose was. He kept reminding Wen Ruomingna behind him, "Wear your men's clothes. If anyone asks, don't hesitate." "You are said to be a subordinate of Stavlachos' cupbearer, a castrated young eunuch."

As a result, in the fort, accompanied by many guardsmen, Agnes came out and saw clearly: the commander was Dorus Lambert, Hertomia's young husband. "The great patron and Caesar will... I was transferred from the city of Vanka to welcome Welf and Ida, because I was originally from Mainz and my late father had contacts with both of them. "

"Go, you scared me." Agnes felt half disdainful and half ashamed.

Lambert did not stay at the fort for too long. After the soldiers had rested, he waved them on their way. "Set up a tent at Fort Alamein and wait for the entry of the distinguished guests - and Mr. Plani, Mr. The patron asked me to remind you that as your return is approaching, you must not forget to inspect the large water wheel workshop there. "

"Yes, yes, yes." Agnes replied lazily and unhappily, then she also asked someone to bring her mount, and she and the others followed Lambert's ceremonial guard and walked towards Alamein Castle. go.

On the way, Wen Ruomingna rode a mule skillfully behind her. She was from Adigai and was also proficient in horsemanship. She saw the ceremonial guards of Tarsus: this group of tall soldiers with long hair that was said to be imitated. The great patron has a mustache and a domed iron helmet with beautiful feathers on it. There is no chainmail on the outside, but lining armor. The long jackets were printed and dyed in crimson, and they all wore the red-hand Qiling badge on their chests. There were dozens of people in total, all carrying long halberds, and single-edged sabers hanging on their belts. They were made of pure iron when they walked. The greaves moved in unison, because they were all veterans selected from the Three Wings Brigade. This kind of formation and walking were familiar to them, and they looked very majestic.

"Who is this Lambert?" Wen Ruomingna asked cautiously on the way, staring at the imposing commander in front.

"He used to be the second son of a poor knight in the wilderness. He was penniless. Before leaving, he pawned a half-broken mill to pay for the journey. Later, he joined our country of Tarsus and became prosperous. The great patron not only gave Give him the fief of Babalon Castle, and also He was given a lot of military merit and salary at the gate of Tarsus, and now he is the son-in-law of General Orson. His wife is also a royal ink officer in the palace, so she can barely compete with me - barely. "Agnes specially said. Emphasis on the last word.

But although the shrewd Adigai girl did not say anything, she soon saw that the status of the little sunfish in the country and the court was not as high as she had previously boasted. In addition, the girl also knows that in this country, the male patron whom she met before is very powerful. At least he is "on equal terms" with the female Caesar. In the end, the structure of this country is It is horizontal rather than vertical. As long as they have a certain skill, even immigrants or even slaves can get ahead.

In the morning breeze, Wen Ruomingna, who was shaking on the back of the mule, bit her thin lips and began to make excited and exciting calculations in her heart.

When she was a child, she looked at the roaring seawater and the barren villages behind her at the seaside peak of Adige. She asked her pale and sick mother who was sitting under a tree trunk, "Why do we have to live here? It is full of mountains and mountains." The sea is full of bitter women and drunken men?”

"Because the Lord arranged for us to be here to feel the sins He suffered for the world." The mother forced out a smile, deceiving her daughter as well as herself.

A ship in the distance is unfurling its sails, and there is a lot of noise on the deck, heading towards the misty south in the waves, "What is the world like over there?"

My mother, who had been a port waiter, also looked far away, following the white sail, and said quietly, "There is a world of dreams and opportunities everywhere, but its door is made of iron and will never have anything to do with us."

"No, mother, now I have a relationship with this world. I really have to thank the rain from the sea before, I met a noble person." Just thinking about it, the high slopes and pastures in the east of Alaman Castle appeared in Wen Ruomingna's eyes. At this moment, Agnes proudly pointed at the towering hill opposite with her whip, "Look, that's my masterpiece."

Wen Ruomingna was surprised to see that there was a tower (windmill) with rotating wings on the high embankment beside the castle, and there were farmers everywhere working the fields below. Then, where "Master Plani" pointed: a large house made of wood and stone, just like a ladder, was connected in a line, covering the river rushing down from the mountain, and there was an uninterrupted huge roar inside.

"That's the sound of the water wheel. Come with me to inspect it."

"Of course, it seems that all the new and spectacular things in this kingdom that I have never seen before are your masterpieces!" Wen Ruomingna readily agreed and followed Agnes closely.

This was very useful to the little sunfish, because the three Ani girls were really not interested in machinery, so they directly set up red umbrellas and tents in the leeward part of the hillside and lay on the autumn grass to rest and play. Only this slave girl from Adige was really smart and motivated, and of course she was very quick to accept the "new things" that only girls on the couch could have.

When the two rode their mounts to the hydraulic workshop, Lambert, who had just set up the camp, received a report from the rider: a small group of people suddenly appeared in the deep river valley in the north, and they claimed to be the Austrian Countess.

"What?" Lambert was surprised. (To be continued ~^~)
