prince of europe in quintiles

"Hey friend, I'll give you three cabbages and two handfuls of chickpeas, can you make me a nice pot of soup? Let's share for dinner."

Since halflings are very good at cooking, there are often greedy people who provide vegetable ingredients and invite halflings to come to their homes to cook a good meal for free.

Adeleb is not surprised by this.

There is a carpenter in the city who specializes in making wooden boards with special marks on them as official document boards.Today he is going to move to the gate of the castle to receive a salary to do things, so as to prevent the official board from being stolen by criminals.

As for the paper that Huo Teng dictated, the expensive Egyptian papyrus is too far away for ordinary people. Even Adlaib has only seen the papyrus from the church a few times.

When Adlaib patrolled the farm, he craned his neck and looked inside.

There is a couple of vultures, the mother is Kuai Ling, and now they are singing loudly, obviously about to conceive and lay eggs.It will be the newlyweds' first child.A group of halflings got together to study how to improve the breeding of vultures.

However, in this situation, absolutely do not mention pregnancy, egg production, or even any words related to children in front of Conosha, otherwise she will always remember you.

Adlaib once tried to ride a vulture, but the fluctuations caused by the running vulture made him spit out his lunch.Perhaps all this proves that he is not suitable to be a knight at all, and can only walk on land with his feet.

But as far as he knows, many knights who are greedy for monster mounts like vultures are practicing desperately how to control them.

It is said that the way they communicate is to find their own servants to carry their masters to run. This method not only costs the master's waist, but also damages the servant's life.

And because this venue is large enough, it will also be used as the venue for the athletic conference to entertain hundreds of competitive knights.

Among the participants with a radius of hundreds of miles, there are different opinions on who will win.

But everyone agrees that Lihausen, the black dragon knight in Lüneburg in the north, and the half-sea dragon he rides will be the best contestants in the decisive battle, not even Miss Laura, who can carry three maids around. Rival of the Behemoth.

……

In the castle, Huo Teng, who heard about this folk prediction trend, even waved his hand:

"Damn it, recruit my best team of knights, Lily Guardians! I'm going all out!"

Of course, it seems that the guardian of the lily is slightly inferior to the knight of the giant deer in terms of fighting power of giant beasts.

Why not choose them?

because it's too expensive...

Chapter 220 Four is not as good as a European hero

In the Holy See in Mainz, bishops and priests, who are all over the country, are having a heated debate.

The object of their discussion was the chaotic situation in the country this year, and the collapse of the already empty and misnamed grassroots parishes caused by the rampage of the Beastmen.

One of the subjects of discussion is the Earl of Kassel, which is still trying to eliminate the Beastmen, and Huo Teng himself.

"No matter how you look at it, Huo Teng can't be the only one in Göttingen!"

"But judging from the current situation, Huo Teng is still close to the church."

"But we don't have that much power to mobilize."

"The bishop of Castle is newly appointed, and the bishop of Eschwege can only protect himself..."

The archbishop's cardinals, or aides, set out to drive and horses, and started a fierce game for the few strategic forces at hand.

The northernmost part of the Diocese of Franconia, the Territory of Göttingen, became the focus of their attention.One side believed that Huo Teng should clean it up by himself, while the other side believed that the power of the diocese should be sent to help suppress and intervene.

But in the eyes of the archbishop, the upright Bourgard, this matter seemed a little funny.

Last year, Huo Teng had to bring troops across the border to come to the rescue, but this year, he had the guts to look down on Huo Teng.It has to be said that it is probably in these bishop's staff who have changed too much in courage and timidity that they can truly see the realistic portrayal of a newborn calf not afraid of tigers.

This is mainly due to two aspects.

One is Huo Teng's strong reaction, asking Bulgard to abolish the request to destroy the city wall.To encourage each city to build its own city walls and form militias to fight against the enemy; secondly, after the militias were organized, the bishops had a group of urban and rural militias in their hands, and they had the capital to talk.

Burgard didn't face up to it and tried every means to gather force until this year.

Before that, he had been living in a stable regime, and the main direction of political struggle was the war of words with the nobles.

"How about this, ask the knights who have not yet stationed, and see who is willing to station in Göttingen."

According to the laws of the church in this world, because there are various monsters and ghosts rampant in the world, and those monsters and ghosts who look very sorry to the audience will send those church knights who swear to serve God for life in dangerous areas.Not only are they superior in combat prowess, but their faith and purity far surpass those ordinary knights like rogues.

But where these people go, where they are, and when they gather and disperse, the church has nothing to do with them.They are nobles who voluntarily become monks, not your subordinates.

At this time, the 500 gold that Huo Teng spent to recruit them, which was enough to recruit a hundred infantry spear regiments, was transferred to Lily who was willing to go north to Göttingen as the offering money for Huo Teng to recruit garrison knights. Flower guardian knight hand.

Therefore, the holy lily guardian knights came to Göttingen in a reasonable and reasonable way.

[Elite arms: Lily Guardian Knight.Basic number of people: 8 people, monthly salary of 40 gold, recruitment fee of 500 gold, and pre-requisite buildings: monastery, blacksmith shop.The Lily Guardian Knights are a team of hidden monks specially organized to defend the monastery.They have a devout heart, and with the protection of the Virgin, they are invincible in battle.Traits: Holy, improve the morale of surrounding soldiers; Guardian, can be used as a general's guard. 】

……

From north to south, Lihausen, the black dragon knight, and his companions were on the side of the road to compensate the farmers for the pigs that had been bitten to death.

The hungry Ban Hailong next to him couldn't help but gnaw.This half-sea dragon looked far less huge than the other sea dragons, with a shoulder height of less than three meters, a body length of less than seven meters, and only one head.Compared with those hideous big guys, it looks like an imbecile.

"The Grand Duke is really out of his mind. He insists on me participating in the competition..." Lihausen was 1 unhappy.

He was a retainer of the Billund family from generation to generation, and the fief was located in the plain south of Lüneburg. He couldn't resist Bernard's absolute request, so he was forced to bring a half-sea dragon to sign up.

Not voluntarily.

In fact, the Lihausen family had a very difficult time just supporting this half-sea dragon.Reputation, to say the least, had to beg Bernard for special help from time to time.Last year, he was afraid that his expenses would explode, so he begged not to go out to avoid bankruptcy.But in hindsight, he might as well have gone out together and let the mount die on the battlefield.

But who knows Lihausen's heart?

In the training camp in Lüneburg, Riehausen tried every means to get close to the giant beasts. When he thought that he would never have such a magnificent monster in his life, he was entangled by a small half-sea dragon that crawled out of the female dragon's lair.So Riehausen, who was pleasantly surprised, tried every means and begged Bernard to give him this treasure of his life.

Then, he realized that he had exchanged his life for a lifetime of 'inferior treasure'.

The reason why this half-sea dragon crawled out of the nest is also very simple. It can't compete with its siblings and is almost starving to death.In order to feed it, Lihausen had to spend [-]% of his surplus annual income on its appetite, but the combat effectiveness was far from what was expected.

On weekdays, he would rather ride a war horse.

Of course, if he is as stingy as he is, how could he pay the peasants a large amount of money at will? It's just that he was caught.

On the opposite side of the road, eight middle-aged knights in white robes who were busy in the world, but couldn't hide their handsomeness and calmness, rode giant platinum-haired horses in the same color scheme, and watched Lihausen's actions with smiles on their faces.

"Hey, don't procrastinate." The leader, handsome as a star, with a face like a crown of jade, has a pattern of the Virgin on the robe on his chest. He is the head of the guardian of the lily. Kerschhai Stein of Tingen.

The Lily Guardian Knights organization has 8 members, all of whom are from the city of Worms in the Franconia region.They were born wealthy and grew up in the influence of the church from an early age.All eight of them took an oath of chastity, insisted on being chaste people from childhood, and received knight training.Like most nobles, they did not rise through the ecclesiastical system as priests, but volunteered to become guardians.

When Horten went to Franconia to rescue the beasts last year, they were on an expedition to Burgundy to resist Arab pirates on the coast.Just came home at the beginning of this year.

Poor, Riehausen was so poor that he only ate a bite of meat a month.He handed over the compensation as if cutting flesh, and glared at Kershel Stein.

According to the established plan, Lihausen wanted to take the first place in the tournament and humiliate Huo Teng's weakness.

But when he saw Keshihai, Lihausen clearly met his opponent.

Keshihai Stein, the literal translation of the name is 'the stone of chastity', a famous fighting knight in Franconia.

The war horses they ride are said to be extremely rare hybrids of unicorns, and only the pure white mares that unicorns like have a small chance of being conceived.

How about provoking him and helping him kill his mount?

Riehausen is not without such considerations.

……

But Huo Teng still didn't know that his two future leaders were still arguing and confronting each other on the side of the road over a farmer's dead pig.

He was simply stunned by the latest big event.

The famous Danish king in history, King Sven with the eight-character beard, this hero who is famous in history for his legendary battles and the first Danish King of England, the father of the North Sea Emperor Knut, sent troops to conquer Norway and completed the Kingdom of Denmark Unification with the Kingdom of Norway.

According to history, in one or two years of preparation, he will lead the Viking army to make the first attempt to invade England.

On the other hand, Huo Teng is still entangled in his parents' shortcomings, and he is indeed far inferior to the European hero.

Chapter 220 The King Assassinates Himself

Denmark and Norway's mustache king Sven, a man who became nicknamed because of his beautiful beard.

But for such a hero, God is always willing to give him more favor from fate.In addition to being handsome and his father is the legendary Viking Harald Bluetooth, Swain himself is also talented, whether it is in the vertical and horizontal lines, in ruling the country and fighting in wars, and even in preaching Christianity, he is quite outstanding.

In the Battle of Svolde that happened not long ago, Sven faced the equally powerful Norwegian King Olaf the blonde, and swung his lips and tongues to diplomatically unite with Queen Sigrid of Sweden to win the straw.Sigrid, a beautiful woman known for her beauty and pride, first chose Olaf, but Olaf forced her to convert to Christianity, which led to the breakdown of her marriage and laid the groundwork for her own destiny.

On the other hand, Sven first lured Norway to divide the Italian profits equally, and after winning the naval battle side by side, he began to adopt a gentle strategy to appease people's hearts and split the northern country.In real history, Sven did propose to marry Sigrid after she became stable, and did not force her to convert to Christ. She used her beauty and the land of Sweden to try to complete the unification of the great northern empire.

His son Knut truly accomplished the feat of the North Sea Empire.It's a pity that neither father nor son survived to the moment when the empire was stable.

But in Germany, which claims to be a civilized country, Huo Teng is still entangled with two women at home at this time, which is indeed a reverse example of indulging in tenderness.

"Do you think our family should purchase Worms fine cloth this year, or just bite the bullet and buy Greek silk?"

Wearing an exquisite soft hat inlaid with gemstones and the daughter of the duke in a red cloak, the graceful and charming Goldistein tried to take on the important task of purchasing for the family for the first time.Now, she is sitting on the balcony of the castle, carefully comparing the price similarities and differences between fine cloth and silk, and thinking about whether to buy a silver candlestick from Paderborn or ask a blacksmith to cast a brass and gold candlestick by herself. Harz Mountain sent a large number of candlesticks Chalcopyrite and rare gold gave the Bowendeng family a chance to show off their wealth.

As an aristocrat, material enjoyment is not only the foundation, but also a link to socialize and demonstrate wealth and prestige.

"I want to make a new set of gold bracelets and earrings for Conosha, um, let's just make them into bracelets and rings. The earrings can be omitted. After all, you will wear a headscarf when you see guests..."

"Jones needs a new set of jewelry and cosmetics. As the youngest wife of the earl, her appearance should not lag behind others, making it a joke for nobles everywhere. Gunter should make a set of exquisite small sword accessories to show her expectations."

"Amelia is pregnant and can't wait any longer. You can consider asking Morris to announce the baptism of her unborn child in advance..."

The little girl's head was full of question marks, and she was struggling to study how to use the generous funds, which seemed to be still meager in the face of bottomless expenses, to buy this year's ceremonial utensils, accessories, furniture, and decorations.

"That's right. Miss Laura also needs to prepare a beautiful new dress. It's better to buy Worms fine cloth. Silk is too expensive."

Goldilocks continued to bury her head in the case, using her wit to save the family money.

And at this time, outside the door, the Countess of Conosha, who is as proud as a phoenix, is pointing to the maid in the hall with her beautiful legs: "There must be eight long curtains engraved with our family's pattern, all of which are angel patterns." There should be a shrine on a high place, and the dead members of the family should be arranged, decorated with golden candlesticks, and all of them should be recorded. Be sure to let the knights visiting from other places witness the majesty and luxury of the Bowenden family."

In addition to these, the walls should be plastered with lime, the floor should be covered with smooth marble, the tables and stools should be newly made high-quality goods, and even the tea bowls should be purchased with the latest pottery.It was necessary to make those local leopards feel ashamed as soon as they entered the main hall of Bowendeng's house.

Horten stayed in the stable, washing Laura's fur.

Tomorrow is the opening ceremony of the competition, and Huo Teng is going to take Laura to make a big splash.

Just when everything seemed so normal, Huo Teng was suddenly pulled to a corner by Brother Morris.

With a look of confusion on his face, Morris told Huo Teng in a shocked and low voice: "Something happened! The Holy See in Mainz suddenly told me a terrible news. At the mass a few days ago, the church Suddenly, a citizen rushed out of the crowd with a knife and stabbed His Majesty the Emperor. It is said that blood was flowing all over his body at that time,"

"What!? The Emperor was assassinated at the Castle of Constance?"

No way, why does this assassin tactic appear again and again?

"Who did you say the assassin was? What did he intend to do?"

Huo Teng's expression flickered, and his eyes were full of strangeness.

There are too many people who intend to assassinate him at this time.Bernard is the number one suspect, but the local nobles of Swabia cannot be ignored, they must hate the king.In addition, the nobles of Lorraine also had motives for committing crimes.Even Huo Teng himself can be counted among the ranks of potential assassins.

He himself knew that the matter of assassinating Eckard next door had never been clarified.

Even if it was a bit worse, even Siegfried's sons could be assassinated throughout the country.After all, every noble has the right to be elected as the emperor.

"This... I really don't dare to speculate. It's just that you should be more honest recently and don't do those outrageous things." Morris persuaded Huo Teng to avoid the limelight.

At this critical moment, the king's authority can be maximized because he holds a good card.

assassin!

Until he pinned the blame for the assassin on a specific nobleman, the nobles feared being designated as a scapegoat.

This invisibly greatly enhanced Conrad's short-term control.

"I understand."

Huo Teng raised his pants, thinking that he must take care of his lower body recently.

……

The world has countless speculations, and the crime of assassination is pinned on any thief who may threaten the safety of His Majesty the King.

However, in the Castle of Constance, only King Konrad, who was lying quietly on the bed, knew what he was doing all this for.

"You have done a good job. Now the whole country is lonely, and no one dares to provoke you at this moment." The little queen Matilda grabbed the collar and skirt, and reminded Conrad in a low voice while sitting at the foot of the bed.

"Hmph, they are all soft bastards who are afraid of losing their power. Just wait... As soon as next year arrives, I will recruit troops to go south to Italy and be crowned in Rome!"

Conrad was panting heavily, but the excitement he showed was by no means that of a seriously injured person.

How would the world know that the one who assassinated Conrad was Conrad himself?

Even Huo Teng didn't guess this crux.
