prince of europe in quintiles

The guests were Val and Selena in wheelchairs.

"Well, it smells very good. It seems that Earl Horten really values ​​me." Val smelled the aroma on the table and admired sincerely.

Huo Teng naturally took up the conversation: "The main reason is that there is no need to fast during Advent. I heard that in Rome, if Advent is added to the first two weeks, there will be a full six weeks of fasting. Meat and meat are not allowed. It's really unbearable."

At the present time there is no great schism in Dompo and Rome.All are nominally in the Christian Church.Regarding fasting, it mainly depends on local customs.

"Fasting is indeed abominable. Let us thank God and celebrate today's reunion." Val was not interested in Rome and jumped directly into the celebration.It can be seen that Val has something important to ask.

There is nothing wrong with the process of the banquet.Although Earl Val was blind, he ate deliciously with Selena's help.Huo Teng's special fake Roman dinner won the favor of Earl Val again.

After three rounds of wine and five tastes of food, the female relatives left the table tactfully.

In front of Selena, Conosha had a stiff face, but she forced a smile and joined hands with Goldiu, showing family harmony with Selena.

"Count Val, you can tell me directly if you have something to do, and I will try my best to help." Huo Teng promised, patted his chest.

Earl Val thought for a long time, and then he said embarrassedly: "Hotten, you are a young man, you are strong and prolific, and you have a lot of women in your family. But, maybe you will notice that, in fact, Celine and I Na has never had a son, and I don't know whose fault it is, maybe it is the root cause of my illness when I was a soldier in the early years. But now I am also blind, and I have no successor, so..."

"So?" Huo Teng's heart froze, and then he became happy.

"Can you give me your eldest son?" Earl Val asked rather shyly.

Since Huo Teng gave birth to an illegitimate son Günther, Val, who had no heir, wanted to recognize this child as his successor.

"This is indeed a good thing. For me, I have arranged the whereabouts of my illegitimate child. For Paderborn, I have an heir. But...Gunter is too young." Huo Teng wanted to refuse.

Because Gunter is his only son at present.If Huo Teng dies unexpectedly, the continuation of the family will depend on this son.The country of Paderborn is certainly very fragrant, but that is also a harvest in the future.

If Huo Teng had two sons, he could share one with Val.

"Of course I don't want it for nothing. After I die, the country of Paderborn will be handed over to you." After setting out his own conditions, Val also said sincerely: "I fell out with the old duke. I was in Weser He ambushed him, I hurt his prestige greatly, I know very well that I am only a few years away from death. You can still have children, but I can no longer have children."

Earl Val urged again and again.

In fact, this is also self-preservation.

The country of Paderborn was in front of Horten, helping him face pressure from Saxony.

Next year, after the old Bernard recuperates, it is enough to foresee what will happen in the future.

"Then... that's fine. Gunter will be raised by me first. If you don't have an heir, I'll send him there." Huo Teng finally reluctantly agreed, and accepted Paderborn, a rich uncle.

"We have made an agreement here. After the agreement is made, we will help each other and never break the alliance." Earl Val stretched out his hand.

Huo Teng collided with him: "Okay! Watch out for each other and never give up on the promise!"

Chapter 190 The Widow's Widow's Love

After the banquet was over, Huo Teng asked his servants to take the blind earl and his wife to the guest room.

Then, the three wives burst into the room and surrounded him.Just like other aristocratic families, the mistress also has a very important position in the family.Most hostesses are involved in household decision-making.

Conosha was dressed very grandly today. She dragged her heavy red dress and hurriedly asked Huo Teng: "What did Val talk to you? Didn't you want us to support food and weapons? Selena talked to me before she came. For a long time, I hope we can sell the surplus food to the city of Paderborn, my God, that city is a bottomless pit."

This was an additional problem that Huo Teng hadn't anticipated.But considering that Paderborn is a regional trade center, lack of food in the city is a common problem.

Gaudius, on the other hand, held Mihail's hand, and asked cautiously: "If possible, I hope there will be no more wars. I am willing to help write a letter to my father."

From her standpoint, she was sandwiched between her future husband and father, and she didn't want to continue fighting like this.

In the end, Jones, who had been standing by, didn't say anything.At this time, the female knight looked plump, her breasts and buttocks were gradually revealed, and she seemed to be getting more and more out of the battlefield.She was a little distracted and bored with this boring aristocratic society.

When the whole family mistakenly thought that Val was here to sell grain, Huo Teng felt a little troubled.

But it has been promised to others, and the country of Paderborn is richer than Göttingen, so such a good deal has to be done, so Huo Teng had no choice but to bite the bullet and hold Jones's hand: "Congratulations, Günter is about to get The right of succession to the County of Paderborn."

Although Huo Teng used a very joyful tone, for the few women present, it could only be said that there were mixed feelings.

Jones understood what Horten meant.Earl Val has never had an heir, and many people speculate that the Earl of Paderborn will be returned to the Duke after his death, so it is only natural that he would ask Horten to borrow a child.But when she thought that Günter might change her name and leave her, Jones, who had only had a son for a few days, was so sad and happy, her eyes rolled, and she fainted!

"Ms. Jones!" Goldiu was quick to react and squatted down to resist Jones.How could her small body withstand Jones, who had practiced martial arts since she was a child, so the two fell to the ground together, scaring Conorsha almost screaming.

The maid hurriedly came up to clean up, but looked at Amelia in the corner with panic.

Old Madi always hoped that Amelia could find Huo Teng and have a child who would inherit the name of Schneider Bowenden and the village of his hometown.Now it seems that Huo Teng has no shortage of women at all. If Amelia wants to complete the family inheritance as soon as possible, she should be more active.

Lifting Jones up on the bed and slapping cold water on her face to wake her up, Jones slowly recalled what had just stimulated her to the point of fainting.

"God...God, is it possible...Gunter is going to take him to their house? He has to change his name and surname, is this still my child?" Jones held Connorsa's caring hand, and tears soaked eye sockets.

Gottis Diu answered his doubts at the right time: "Count Val doesn't have a surname, he only has a first name. And Earl Val has always had a good reputation, so there should be no need to change his name."

In this era, many nobles did not have a surname, and only a first name was used between father and son.The Romans, in particular, inherited from the ancient Greeks that they only had names, so many so-called dynasties were actually just nicknames as references.For example, the Macedonian Dynasty, Macedonian is not the surname of this family, they only take their first name.Macedonia is the nickname of the ancestors, and it was later used to distinguish it.

Most of the nobles who took surnames during this period were upstarts, such as the Billund family, which originated from a branch of the Otto family, a person named Billund.The descendants directly use the first name and the last name.

And Huo Teng's surname is the most traditional place name.

"I won't take it away. Günter is still young. I will send him to Paderborn when he grows up in the future." Huo Teng also comforted Jones.

After the two-way comfort, Jones was overjoyed, feeling that she was really lucky.

If Huo Teng had other children, Val would definitely choose the oldest one when he came to look for him.For her, the fate of the illegitimate child was reversed, and even started better than Huo Teng's other sons. Is there a better result than this?

No.

So in the afternoon, Jones hugged Gunter and met Val again with the Horten family.

Selina was very satisfied with this square-headed child. She praised Günter's benefits and told her husband: "This is really a good boy. He has a square head and looks strong. He must inherit our family's territory." The best candidate."

Val is an old soldier. He stroked Günter's square head and praised the name loudly: "It's a good name. Fighter, I have suffered all my life, and it is impossible for my child to live comfortably. Only heirs who know how to fight can have a good name." Qualified for the throne of Paderborn."

After dinner again in the evening, the daytime activities of Advent Sunday are basically over.

Huo Teng privately expressed to Selena that he was willing to sell 30 cans of grain at a fair price, and resell them to Paderborn by water at [-] catties per can.

All of Val's expectations were met by Huo Teng, so the host and guest enjoyed themselves.

Although there is no need to fast on Advent Sunday, there are still some rules that must be observed. It is not easy to engage in conjugal love during such a festival, right?

So Huo Teng, like most people with status, slept alone this day.

But it was a coincidence that Amelia, envious of Günter's good luck, touched the door of Huo Teng's room without anyone noticing it.

Pushing open the door quietly, Amelia hurriedly took off her thick robe, and slipped into Huo Teng's bed in a thin dress.

"Who? Connorsa?"

Jones was nursing the baby, Huo Teng thought it was Connorsa coming.

Cheating on this holy day when the default rules need to be obeyed?

It's really exciting.

The warm body of the woman made Huo Teng, who was relaxed recently, immediately interested.

"What pose do you want to pose? How about the dog-climbing pose that I discussed with you earlier?" Huo Teng hugged Amelia enthusiastically, talking passionately about the whispers under the bed.

Amelia really didn't understand that Huo Teng and Conosha were playing so boldly. She pouted her buttocks silently, lying on the bed in a dog crawling pose.

In the dark night, Huo Teng really didn't care.Huo Teng, who thought that Kang Nuosha had figured it out, simply got on the horse, pressed Kang Nuosha's waist, and entered with water.

From the very beginning, Huo Teng felt something was wrong.

This is very different from the sexy and soft Connorsa on the bed, but more like Jones, but it is impossible for Jones to get into Huo Teng's bed right after giving birth.

In this way, the biggest possibility is...

Huo Teng didn't dare to ask.

After a song, Amelia hurriedly grabbed her dress and sneaked away from the bed.

But a headdress left on the bed proved Amelia's identity the next day.

……

After Advent Sunday, there are not many big things anymore.

The following second, third, and fourth Sundays were all spent peacefully.

If there was anything wrong, it would be Amelia and Conorsha, who would appear in Huo Teng's bedroom from time to time, accidentally, accidentally, and unknowingly.

There was even one time when Amelia and Conosha came in one after the other, causing the two women to turn green when they met.

Huo Teng also had no choice but to explain clearly to Conosha that this was the order of his father, old Madi, to leave an heir for his brother Schneider, so Conosha fainted out of breath.

The countess probably understood.

Don't expect Huo Teng to be an honest man in this life.

Of course, in this age of always very bold styles, it is not a great sin to have an affair with a widowed sister-in-law.Even those aristocratic bishops do more extreme things from time to time.Such as stealing wives, having affairs with nuns, and even turning nunneries into brothels.Their behavior can only be found in some cult towns in the United States today.

Connorsa could only complain about herself, her belly was not up to snuff, and she had not been able to give birth to a child for so long.

It stands to reason that Jones became pregnant not long after, and she and Huo Teng have been together for more than a year and shared the same bed countless times. Could it be that she really couldn't conceive?

Doubt haunted her heart.

In this day and age, Conosha's concerns are irrelevant.

Soon, Christmas will come.

In a few days, the year 1000 will arrive.

According to the millennium theory, Jesus will return in this millennium, and use this 1000 years to judge sinners and establish a peaceful and just kingdom.The saints will live with Christ and be crowned King, and the Gospel will be preached throughout the world.Then reach the goal in 2000 AD.

It seems that a bright future is already within reach.

Chapter 190 Three Expansion Doesn't Have To Be Using Force

glorious future?

Beautiful!

Do you really think that the Middle Ages is not so dark, so it looks beautiful?

No, it is still only the eve of night, the darkest age of coldest.It is the period of suffering before the rise of civilization.

In such an era, the premature death of a child, the early death of a husband, and the ability to live beyond the age of 40 belong to the elderly.It is not just psychological aging, extreme malnutrition and lack of resources will make a person age rapidly, and it is normal to become an old man at the age of 40.

In such years, the agricultural output was extremely low, and one handful of seeds could only yield three handfuls of grain. Every farmer had to plant widely and harvest little until he was old.People are extremely lacking in medical care and education, and any slight disease may cause the death of the patient.Cold, hunger, poverty, and wars devastate the poor people all the time.And the most ferocious nobles and priests beat people to the bone and sucked the marrow out, wishing to squeeze out the marrow.The iron smelting technology is very backward, and it is impossible to produce long swords, because it will break, and it is impossible to make better armor. The craftsman was deaf in middle age.

What's more, in most places, there is no technology for iron smelting and coin making, and wooden hoes and hooks are still used for farming.

For Huo Teng's era, it is even more terrifying.

Because the demons, beasts, and monsters in medieval legends all appear in the world in concrete form.If ergotism was nothing more than a hallucinatory affliction in the Middle Ages, it could indeed attract some nasty monsters here.Those monsters and adventures that exist in people's imagination are probably not fake.

However, this is the real world again.

If you don't eat, you will starve to death.The difference in body shape determines the difference in appetite.There is no magic that solves all problems.

Therefore, due to various reasons, in short, the body will mutate, and the monster with horns on the forehead will emerge from the crowd.

They look strange, irritable, and often attack and kill out of control, so they are expelled from the village. People call them beastmen, or mutants.

These monsters hide in the forest and plunder by hunting and domestication. They have no cultural and social concepts, and only follow the most primitive law of the jungle. The stronger the horn, the bigger the horn, the stronger it is.When it grows to a certain extent, it will even grow fur, and its feet are like beast hooves. When the beasts run, the earth shakes and the mountains shake, unstoppable.

Although Huo Teng couldn't figure it out, if it was a predatory beast man, it shouldn't have herbivorous hooves, it should be animal claws.

Apparently hooves are better suited for running away than for attacking.

In the world view of the medieval people, these people are all believers of the devil. They are sinners who are tempted by the devil to fall because of their unbelief in God.At the beginning of this millennium, when Jesus returns to judge sinners, there are really many ignorant people who believe that after this year’s Christmas or next year’s Easter, Jesus will come back. Damn it.

But the effect is just the opposite.

When the Black Forest was silent with the starving winter, and even the Orcs lay in their lairs, waiting to go out to fight next year, these hoofed monsters came out of the forest.

There is no food to eat in the rich forest.

As a result, the entire Europe, from the Great Forest in the Grand Duchy of Kievan Rus, to Hesse in Germany, and the Ardennes Forest in France, are full of beastman tribes in groups.Occasionally these tribes gather under the banner of a Beastlord and sweep the nearby countryside.

At this time, the emperor, king, duke, or even the local official must stand up and organize the knights to clear the monsters, otherwise his reputation and trust will be greatly affected.

Unfortunately, many nobles failed to complete this task this year.

Huo Teng squatted in the study, looking at the table full of letters for help, feeling a lot of pressure: "Damn it, Kassel County, Weimar County, and many places in Thuringia to the east are all asking us Urgent. Even if I have ten arms, I can't suppress so much turmoil."

Fighting against the beast tide against the Beastmen is just like fighting against the waagh tide against the green skins. It is inherently just and necessary.

If you don't do justice for the sky, you are a bastard.
