At the end of the Tang Dynasty, it was a feudal town, but in Western Europe

"Your Highness, we can talk about this later." Feng Sen lowered his voice, "It's about the Holy Grail, but we can wait until the banquet is over."

Charlie's brows twitched, but he didn't say anything, but turned to all the nobles: "Look, look at him, this warrior given to me by the heavenly father, he came from far away from Siris and brought us The victory of Saxony and the wisdom of Siris, is not this the Father's support for our great cause?

And this heroic Siris, he defeated Vidukind, Uda and Siegfried, defeated the Viking pirates, and protected the subjects of the kingdom, what a heroic and fearless feat he made! "

"I'm ashamed, I only made a small contribution." Feng Sen replied.

"Don't be modest, if this is considered small, how can you call the Duke of Hadrad? Huh? Hahaha!" Charlie laughed lively, "That's my attitude towards the warriors - how much you have done , How much land I have given you! Therefore, I have decided to grant the title of Duke of Saxony to Feng Sen, Count of Hamburg, and give him full powers to govern Saxony completely for five years!"

"Wow——" After Charlie finished speaking, everyone was silent for a while, and then the huge voice of discussion almost overwhelmed Charlie's declaration, especially the expressions of the original Saxony lords almost caught up with the changes in their expressions. kaleidoscope.

Charlie didn’t seem to hear the noisy voices in his ears. This is what Feng Sen should bear. If he can’t even handle these things well, then he is definitely not another messenger bestowed upon him by the heavenly father. Maybe he just came to send a sword. of.

"Anthony, accept the canonization."

Under the arrangement of several priests, Feng Sen knelt down on one knee, lowered his head and looked at the ground, facing Charlie.

Charlie took the branch and a pot of holy water from the priest on the side, and dipped the branch in the holy water: "Anthony Fengsen, I, the King of the Franks, the leader of the Father's world... Canonize you as the Duke of Saxony, your territory will continue from the Elbe to the west side of Paderborn..."

Half-kneeling on the ground, Feng Sen's ears were filled with Charlie's reading and discussions behind him, but Feng Sen couldn't care less at the moment. When Charlie shouted "accept the canonization", the flashing lights in the Clausewitz engine continued. The reminder made him almost ignore what Charlie said.

When others thought that Feng Sen was seriously listening to the canonization oath with his head down, Feng Sen had already turned on the Clausewitz engine and clicked on the prompt at the top from a perspective that others could not see.

[Complete Achievement: Saxon War]

[Requirement: Join the Saxon War as one of the leaders of the war and achieve more than [-]% of the war contribution. 】

[Reward: Each soldier of the Jing Nan Army randomly summons zero to three family members from his hometown. 】

Crooked Sun, this is a heavyweight. Feng Sen's eyes are about to shine. After more than a year of uninterrupted war, the homesickness in the hearts of Tang soldiers has always been a very troublesome problem for him.

The most obvious manifestation is that although the soldiers of the Tang Army said nothing on the surface, they seldom had close friendships with the locals, and some even didn't care much about the land bestowed by Feng Sen. After all, this was not their own home.

This kind of attitude of not being afraid of breaking bottles and cans is good, but it also led to a series of problems. For example, the soldiers seldom regard the local people as human beings, and they have no sense of belonging. The reward is just to solve this problem.

After all, where the family is, is the hometown.

[Complete Achievement: Duke Conquest]

[Requirement: Obtain the title of duke in a de jure territory]

[Reward: Unlock the Jasper Dragon mechanism and related decisions. 】

[Jade Dragon: Open the Silk Road Mechanism and Celestial Dynasty State Mechanism, and unlock relevant resolutions]

Finally, after working hard and fighting for more than a year regardless of development, just for this trembling, what exactly is the Jasper Dragon can finally be revealed.

If it wasn't for Charlie in front of him, Feng Sen would be gearing up.

【Jade Dragon decision to unlock】

[Silk Road Unlock]

【Unlock Celestial Dynasty Status】

A series of prompts that popped up almost dazzled Feng Sen's eyes. He waited for the prompts to stop for a while before he hurriedly checked them one by one.

【Effect of Jade Dragon: From now on, you can obtain information about the Great Tang Dynasty and start paying tribute. Each tribute consumes 300 Emperor's Grace, and you can randomly get the following results.The first item is to recruit 600 Datang refugees.The second item is to recruit 100 Datang soldiers.The third item is to obtain a treasure from the Celestial Dynasty. 】

[When the dynasty is in a state of peace and prosperity, the number of recruits is halved, and two treasures may be obtained. When the state of the dynasty is in turmoil, the number of recruitment is doubled, but you may not be able to obtain treasures of the dynasty. 】

600 Han population!Even two teams of soldiers from the Tang Dynasty (the first team of the Tang Army has 50 people)!While taking the soil and branches representing the territory from Charlie, Feng Sen wanted to shout in his heart!It's just that the treasure option is a bit tasteless.

But what is this emperor's favor and the state of the celestial dynasty?Thinking of this, Feng Sen hastily clicked on [Status of the Celestial Dynasty].

[Effects of Celestial Dynasty status: There will be three states in the Celestial Dynasty - peace and prosperity, political harmony and harmony, and national turmoil.

[When the dynasty is in peace and prosperity, the benefits obtained from the Silk Road are the most. When the dynasty is in a state of political harmony, the benefits obtained from the Silk Road are average. When the dynasty is in turmoil, the benefits obtained from the Silk Road are the smallest. . 】

[Current state of the celestial dynasty: The country is in turmoil. 】

Feng Sen's face turned dark, please, earn some gas, Li Shi, I'm still playing a fart if you want your country to be in turmoil every year, but what the hell is [Silk Road]?

[Effect of the Silk Road: You can build a trading post. When the commercial route is connected to the Silk Road, you will get +1 Emperor's Grace every day. When you dominate the trade on the commercial route, you will unlock the Silk Road market. 】

Seeing this, Feng Sen has figured out the entire "Dlc" of [Jade Dragon], which is to draw prizes once a year, so it's time to start fighting, right?It's just that Saxony is thousands of miles away from the Silk Road. When Feng Sen's business route extends there, it will have to wait until the Year of the Monkey.

After all, it is still a big pie that can be seen but not eaten. After closing these prompts, Feng Sen's mind has just settled down, but he saw the change in the resource bar in the upper right corner, and there is a new resource, Emperor's Grace, and its value is actually — 491.

Where did the 491 points of grace come from?Feng Sen was a little pleasantly surprised, but soon he understood the reason. He had served as the envoy of the Jingnan Army for a while back then, probably because of the emperor's grace he received at that time.

While reciting the oath of allegiance to Charlie, Feng Sen's mind and eyes are full of the emperor's grace and lottery, so do you want to try it?After struggling for half a second, Feng Sen made a decision, forget it, it's a matter of life and death, smoke it!

The moment Feng Sen clicked on the decision, the 451 Huang En was only 151 left in an instant, and the final "lottery draw" result also appeared in front of his eyes in the mood of anticipation.

Chapter 192 What exactly did you get?

The air in the dungeon was cold and humid, Feng Sen could feel the rustle of fine sand and stones sliding under his feet every step he took.Along the way, the stone wall is covered with green moss, which seems to emit a strange light.

Not long after walking, Feng Sen came to a cell in a dungeon. This cell was different from other gloomy and cold cells. Not only did it have a small window that allowed the light from the outside to shine in, it was not only clean and tidy, but also placed a A hot stove, even accompanied by two guards and a maid.

In the prison cell, a precious beeswax candle was lit, and the bean-like orange light shone on the young man who was struggling to write on the parchment, making his figure so tall.

"Long time no see, Your Highness Pepin."

Hearing the familiar voice, Pepin looked up, and there was a smile on his pale face. At this time, Pepin's eyes were red, and there was a faint cyan around the eye sockets, obviously he had not slept well.

He looked at Feng Sen in front of him, walked over quickly, and stood by the fence, with excitement and guilt on his face: "How is it? Did father make things difficult for you?"

"No." Feng Sen shook his head, handed the torch to the side guards, ignored the wetness and dirtiness of the ground, picked up a few bunches of weeds and did it cross-legged, "I just came to see you."

"Today is Christmas Eve, is the Christmas banquet over?" Pepin looked up.

"Not yet." Feng Sen brushed off the smell of alcohol and grass leaves on his body, "His Royal Highness Charlie is in a good mood today, and even drank two glasses of wine. You know His Highness, he doesn't like drinking very much."

"Because wine is a waste of food, and people who drink alcohol are often prone to corruption. Rome is a proof of this." Pepin smiled helplessly. "However, the Italian nobles still keep their vineyards open and their wine sold."

"Let's not talk about that, today is Christmas, and you are so lonely just by yourself, so I bring you a Christmas gift." Feng Sen handed a small booklet to Pepin, "This book, called "Sima Fa", records the military art of Siris during the Warring States Period. Master Zhenhui spent several days extracting the essence from it. I revised and added some of my own notes and opinions.

Although this is the art of war hundreds of years ago, at that time it was just like how you are enfeoffed now, so I think it is quite appropriate. Don't you want to learn the enemy of thousands of people?Well, here it is. "

Pepin quickly took the booklet, flipped through a few pages, and couldn't help saying: "Thank you so much, such a book is a priceless treasure."

"I will hold a big translation campaign in the future." Feng Sen said with a smile and ambition in his eyes, "At that time, I will organize a group of priests to translate these Seris books into Latin one by one."

While Pepin was flipping through the pamphlet, Feng Sen took out Charlie's canonization certificate and land certificate from behind, and handed it to Pepin, "Look at what this is."

He took the parchments in doubt, and Pepin also sat down on the ground. He flipped through the canonizations written in Latin, and the expression on his face soon became agitated: "Father will be made the Duke of Saxony, and he has given you full power. Are you going to cancel the "Saxony Decree?"

"Yes, originally His Highness wanted to announce the revocation of the decree today." Feng Sen stroked the wine bottle and smiled, "But I suggest that you make the announcement. After all, compared to my words, your guarantee is decisive that day, and you also need this opportunity to let the nobles get to know you, a brand new you."

"Okay, that's great." Pepin stroked the seal excitedly, but then he felt a little lonely again, "You are only two years older than me, and you have already achieved what I dreamed of. , it seems that father values ​​you even more."

"You are his own son, and I'm just his adopted son. If you can achieve the same military exploits as me, you will definitely be able to obtain greater rewards and honors than me. You still have two years." Feng Sen Picking up a knife to pry the cork out of the wine bottle, he motioned to the guard next to him to bring two wine glasses.

After filling one of the glasses with wine and handing it to Pepin through the gap between the fences, Feng Sen also poured a glass for himself: "In two years, you don't even have the confidence to catch up with me, do you?"

Looking at himself reflected in the wine, Pepin suddenly laughed: "I will, I will surpass you."

"Not only to surpass me, but also to surpass your father." Raising his glass, Feng Sen saluted above his head, "This is also my goal, to our great king and father Charlie."

"To my father." Pepin swallowed a big gulp of wine, and exhaled a mouthful of white mist.

"Before I came down today, I chatted with Diodorf for a while, that curly-haired young priest." Feng Sen sipped his wine and smiled.

"Diodorf is a smart man. He can always guess what his father is thinking. What did he say?"

"He said that you have also contributed to the Saxony war this time, and Bishop Alcuin is going to nominate you as the governor of the Barcelona Border Region." Feng Sen gently swirled the wine glass.

"Really?" asked Pepin in surprise. "I am the Governor of Barcelona by myself?"

"No, you will get a priest guardian just like your brother with the same name, but we don't know who he is yet." Feng Sen put down his glass and his face became serious, "But I want you to know, Iberia The situation is very rare, not as simple as the Saxon War, and even more difficult, and because of this, it will bring greater glory and merit. Have you thought about how to do it?"

Pepin opened his mouth, and after a moment of silence: "I will ask my father to ask my hussars to follow me. Besides, Feng, I also need your help. Do you have any available talents under your command?"

"If there were, would I be like this? Dealing with a lot of trivial matters every day? You should ask Al Kun about this question. He recommended you, and he will help you."

Feng Sen took another sip of his wine, "However, I can remind you that you can find the Pope to lead the money, and form an army dedicated to dealing with Hedgehog and Cat Cultists with the second sons of the nobles as the main body."

After thinking for a while, Pepin slapped his head: "I understand, the Heavenly Father Cult world is facing the squeeze of the Hedgehog Cat Cultist army, and under pressure, he will definitely use all his strength to stop the Hedgehog Cat Cult from expanding.

This money will not be much, but it is better than nothing, and with this money, I can buy weapons and equipment, and as for the illegitimate children of the second son of the nobles, I will motivate them with the land of Iberia. "

"Smart." Feng Sen clapped his palms, "There are thirteen border lords in the Barcelona border area. I'll give you a way. You need to find a commonality, which you and most of them have. Use this commonality, Pull most of the power to your side, stir up conflict, and defeat the rest.

Then continue to find common ground among the people who were originally with you, and then defeat the side with fewer, and repeat until you have all the power, and for this, you need to know them.

So those native Iberian Heavenly Father believers and the Heavenly Father Kingdom are the ones you must win over. These Visigoths are almost your relatives, and they are of the same clan, so it should not be difficult.As for how to win over, what should happen next?You have to play and comprehend by yourself. "

After thinking deeply for a long time, Piping let out a sigh of relief: "Thank you, Feng."

"This is what I should do." Feng Sen once again raised his glass, "To friendship."

"Respect for friendship."

Just as Feng Sen and Pepin were drinking together, a series of light footsteps echoed in the dungeon. In the firelight, Ador was wearing a snow-white rabbit fleece robe, holding a large plate of steaming steak , and moved around: "Brother, I'm here to bring you food. I took this steak from my father's table. It must be the most..."

Ador stopped talking in the middle of her sentence. She silently put the plate containing the steak on the ground, then turned around mechanically, and walked out step by step.

"Adol..." Feng Sen stretched out his hand and just called out, but it seemed to arouse Ador, and she ran away like a frightened little rabbit.

Pepin gloated and grabbed a piece of steak from between the fences: "It seems that our Lord Duke of Saxony is not good at everything."

Feng Sen stood there depressed, and replied angrily, "Then do you have any suggestions?"

Biting the steak, Pepin replied vaguely: "Anyway, it won't be standing still."

Chapter 193 Saxony, here I come!

The cold wind mixed with the warm wind from the banquet blew through this small flower bed. In winter, all the flowers withered, even if there were two green leaves, they disappeared in the continuous war.

Stepping on the fallen leaves, Feng Sen turned a corner, and sure enough, a bright white was quietly blooming beside the flower bed.

Ador was dressed in white rabbit down clothes, moved a small horse and sat in front of the flower bed. In this black and gloomy world, her white figure was like a snow elf on the wasteland.

The eyes that are most lively and cheerful on weekdays are full of sorrow and inexplicable emotions at this moment.

She arched her back, put her elbows on her knees, and her hands were shaped like petals, supporting her immature face with a little baby fat. Her platinum hair fluttered up and down with the howling wind between heaven and earth.

"Adol."

The white snow elf trembled at first, and then she put on the hood as if to hide her ears, as if she didn't hear Feng Sen talking to her, but the red deerskin boots constantly rubbing the ground under her feet still exposed her heart.

"Adol, I'm here to give you a Christmas present." Holding a small box, he walked to Ador's side with a smile, dusted the dirt on the ground, and Feng Sen sat down directly.

Ador was sitting on the ponytail, Feng Sen was sitting on the ground, and the eyes of the two happened to meet, but Ador turned his head aside in anger.

"Okay, don't be angry, I know that scene is a bit eye-catching, but there's no need to avoid me all the time, I didn't make a big mistake, it's just that I didn't lock the door properly, but don't be afraid, everyone will have this time..."

"I have seen."

"Ah?" Feng Sen raised a question mark on his forehead.

"I said I've seen it before." Ador pouted, "Father and mother never avoided me. I've seen it since I was very young, and it's nothing special."

As expected of you, Charlemagne.A few drops of cold sweat broke out on Feng Sen's forehead: "Then why are you avoiding me?"

Ador's childish voice was a little low: "Because I hate Charlie and myself, why didn't I be born ten years earlier, even five years, so that you won't always treat me like a child."

Feng Sen couldn't help laughing: "Aren't you a child? Ador, everyone will have this time when they think that they have grown up, know a lot of things, and think that they understand feelings, but in fact, that It's all an illusion."

Ador turned sideways slightly, facing Feng Sen. Feng Sen had never seen Ador like this before. There was a strange light in her eyes, the sad expression on her face and the heavy and helpless tone in her mouth seemed like an adult.

"My father had many daughters, and the reason why he liked me the most was not because I was the cutest, but because I was the smartest.

I know what he likes and dislikes, what time and what occasion he will say. It seems that everyone likes me and everyone pampers me, but this is based on the fact that I never pamper myself.

I can become what they want me to be. My father likes a lively, stupid, innocent and carefree child, so I can be like this, and I even really turned myself into this.

The nobles hope that I can be dignified, elegant, and respectful to the heavenly father in a law-abiding manner, and I have also achieved elegance and dignity in front of other nobles.But even so, I may never be able to marry, because it is impossible for my father to let his son-in-law share the inheritance rights.

If nothing else, I will go on like this forever until my father dies, but by then, I will probably be old too.

The only way I can pamper myself is in front of my mother, and my mother's manor is the only place where I can breathe.Other than that, the only time I was pampered in front of my father was when I secretly hid behind the carriage to find you. "

Feng Sen has always had a very clear understanding of himself. He can clearly understand who he likes and who he hates, and he can explain the reasons.

What is his feeling for Ador?There is emotion, but he firmly believes that it is definitely not love.

But at this time, looking at Ador who was sitting alone in front of the flowers, he was confused. Feng Sen thought he had a clear understanding of his feelings for Ador—he was a human being in two lifetimes, and his mental age was almost forty, while Ador was still an 11-year-old girl.

Like Gisela, the busty nun, the Saxon princess, suki.Arvo, the vigorous wild horse, the Danish princess, suki.And what about Ador?What should be done with her?Feng Sen is not sure, is it brother and sister?Or a friend?Or even father-daughter love?Feng Sen couldn't find a suitable emotion to arrange her.

The 11-year-old girl's so-called "liking" is probably just a dream of a young girl at the beginning of her love affair. When she grows up, she will naturally get better. This is Feng Sen's idea.
