"Eastern Empire? The legendary Eastern Empire full of gold? ”

At this moment, the Byzantine Emperor John VIII stared at the envoy who was hurrying over, his eyes showed a hot light, that country that was paved with gold in the legend, even the roads were paved with gold, with unimaginable wealth and strength, and even the opening of the Age of Discovery was inextricably linked with that eastern country, he clearly remembered the description of the Eastern Central Empire in Marco Polo's travels at that time, even more crazy than the description of India.

And now, the legendary emperor of the empire has landed on the beach of Rome, accompanied by the roar of the rocking mountains and the huge shadows of the ships that can be seen from the windows of the castle.

Soon John VIII gave the order to greet them, because judging by the descriptions of the envoys, these guests from the East did not seem to have malicious intent, and they even rescued more than three thousand European sailors. And as an emperor, he is not a fool, even if these Orientals have malicious intentions, he must meet them, because judging from the explosion just now, even if he resists with all his might, the whistling cannonballs and the fire like heavenly punishment can easily destroy the whole of Rome.

However, the envoy also said that in addition to the emperor, there was also a pope of some industrial sect among the envoys of the Ming Empire, and the people there said that they needed to be greeted with a completely equal status, so His Majesty the Pope must be present in person.

This matter can be regarded as difficult for John VIII, because this era is the era of natural human rights, and divine power is higher than royal power, and it seems a little inappropriate to let a small Byzantium invite the Vatican Holy See.

But there is no way, the cannons of the ships have been set up on the coastline, and the people have asked His Majesty the Pope to go over in person. If this offends the emperor of the Eastern Empire, let alone the throne, I am afraid that I will not even be able to save my life.

So when he told the envoys to delay time, he himself set off and went straight to the Vatican base camp to ask to meet His Holiness the Pope.

However, after entering the door, he was stopped by the knight, saying that His Majesty was unwell and was recuperating. And John VIII found out after many inquiries. This old man is unwell, when the Eastern Fleet bombarded the coast a few hours ago, this old man was, because the Vatican is relatively close, the sound of artillery and the shock wave made the house start to fall slag, the old man was so frightened that he fell off the toilet, deducted a body of, not to mention, and was scared out of the cerebral infarction on the spot, and is now being rescued by the third angel.

"What to do...... What should I do now......

Just when John VIII was in a hurry in the side hall. A cardinal walked out slowly, looked at his anxious appearance and thought for a while: "Why don't we ask the archangel to be watched, there is an archangel present, I believe that those barbarians in the east will not dare to say anything more." ”

At that time, John VIII was in a circle, and he was not a staunch believer in himself, after all, when he reached this position, he still believed that God could save the world, then his life would be in vain, and the cannon of others was thicker than his daughter-in-law's ass. A mere archangel used to be a food delivery thing.

But after thinking about it, there is nothing to be done now. Those birdmen haven't done much since they came, and now the country is ...... No, the whole of Europe is in trouble, and they should also pull out and sacrifice the hue. It's best that the old men of the East can like these winged birdmen.

"Then I demand that it must be the strongest Archangel Gabriel."

John VIII's little abacus crackled, and now there are about fifteen heavenly masters in the Vatican, and those watchdog angels are a bunch of. Except for ordinary people who have nothing to fool around, the others can only be regarded as war medics. But the archangels, especially the archangels, are different, if it weren't for the four archangels sitting in the Vatican, the whole of Europe would have united to overthrow the bullshit Holy See, especially the Spaniards. Most of the gold they had brought from the New World over the years had been fed to these birdmen, who were not working, and they would probably be the first to do it if Europe were to launch a god-slaughtering operation.

There is also the reason why John VIII asked Archangel Gabriel to go with him, in addition to this guy being the strongest, another reason is that this guy is the only female among all the birdmen. His idea is very simple, if he can't negotiate later, and directly hand over the archangel to the eastern barbarians, what they do is their business. And when he came back, it was a big deal to cry to these uncles about the barbarism of the Orientals, as for the archangel...... Let's ask her to dedicate her pure body to the whole of Europe.

There is an old tradition in Europe, although the whole of Europe fights to the death at every turn, but in fact, most of the royal relatives are strictly counted as a family...... For example, the Kaiser is the distant cousin of the British emperor, and things like that are simply not too ordinary.

Of course, if a beautiful and pure archangel can get rid of these Oriental barbarians, that is the best, if not, John VIII still has a trick to lead the East to the east, that is, let the Eastern Barbarians and the Vatican pinch each other, and then he can remain neutral, and even at the right time he can go to the side of the Eastern Barbarians, so that he may be able to borrow the hands of these foreigners to consolidate his position. As for whether they will annex Europe in the future, John VIII is not interested in knowing at all, as long as he can live his life in peace, he will be satisfied, as for after his death, no matter how much the flood will be monstrous.

After the cardinal's debriefing and maneuvering, the Vatican authorities agreed to send Archangel Gabriel to meet the barbarians from the East. In their eyes, don't those Orientals just have a few big ships? One angel is enough to settle this small trouble.

Soon, the archangel, dressed in holy clothes but with the smell of bird feathers, descended from the sky with his sword, glanced at John VIII, and motioned for him to lead the way with her haughty and cold eyes.

After seeing the expression of this woman, John VIII not only did not feel the anger after being slighted, but instead expressed a sense of relief.

After inviting the angel into his carriage, John VIII sat happily beside the coachman, looking at the snow-white steed with a happy expression.

And in the carriage, the proud archangel sat motionless in the bumpy carriage with his sword in his hand, and opposite her was his personal maid.

"Your Excellency. You're going to chase away the barbarians, aren't you? ”

Because the maid is familiar with the archangel, she will still chat with the archangel when there is no one around, and if the adult is in a good mood, she may be able to say a few words to her.

"They are just barbarians, and at the time of the Crusades I had seen fierce and fearless Persian pagans. But even they surrendered to the light of our Lord. ”

After watching her say these words in a righteous and awe-inspiring manner, the maid's eyes were full of admiration, and she even wished that she could immediately reach the sea where those eastern barbarians were, and then follow this archangel angrily.

Soon, the Byzantine Emperor Xià brought a large number of people to the beach where Siyuan landed, and at this time it was actually evening, and the Ming soldiers who had established a simple position had already begun to bury the pot and cook.

After eating a simple meal at sea for more than three months, they finally managed to eat a hot meal, and they almost caught all the non-human creatures living in this sea area and ate them cleanly, and some strange recipes naturally came into being. What kind of seafood stew, sea oyster stick porridge, canned beef stewed octopus and other strange things.

Of course, this can't be said to be the poor food on the ship, in comparison, the food on the ship is already very good, but three months of canned meat, bread, and dairy products almost make people eat problems, and the taste of those compressed vegetables is really disgusting, and even Siyuan has to admit that the fresh food cooked indiscriminately is indeed more delicious than the steak in the can.

"I'm going to give this dish a name!"

His Majesty the Emperor was already drunk, and although he could have a few drinks while on the ship, it was forbidden for everyone to drink while sailing. The Ming Emperor, who was unaccompanied, poured himself a drink and was tasteless, after landing today. Under the cover of naval guns, Siyuan temporarily released the prohibition of alcohol, so the emperor followed the gang of big-headed soldiers to drink happily, and almost kowtowed to a few big-headed soldiers in front of him who were silent in front of the dragon robe, and those tasteless seafood also became his favorite, and after drinking, he shouted to give names to all kinds of stews. In a short time, six dishes have already been named.

"I heard that the Ming Emperor has this hobby of naming dishes, so Zhu Yuanzhang took a pearl jade and white jade soup." Siyuan sat beside the big devil, enjoying the warmth of the bonfire and the sound of the waves, and actually felt a little comfortable.

But he didn't last long. It didn't take long for John VIII's motortrip to rush over, disturbing the peaceful atmosphere on the beach.

Then, when the archangel got down from the carriage, His Majesty the Emperor's eyes were straight, and he drunkenly pointed at the birdman, and shouted from afar: "Ai Fei Ai Fei, come on, I will take you to eat something delicious." ”

Siyuan was stunned for a moment, turned his head and glanced at His Majesty the Emperor with a smile, and beckoned the orderlies to drag the emperor back to the camp, while he got up and walked forward with the Great Devil, standing in front of John VIII and the Archangel with an expressionless face.

The big devil stared at the wings behind the archangel with red eyes, and his teeth crunched, but in the end he held back his temper, silently raised his hand, and said in multi-Chinese without smiling: "Excuse me, do you speak English, Spanish, French or Latin?" ”

"Latin." The archangel also stared at the Great Devil, and his tone was not good: "Who are you?" ”

This feeling of natural attribute restraint made her keenly feel that the rough man in front of her was not a simple person, but she couldn't think of it...... Standing in front of her was a serious bad guy known as Satan in Western culture.

"This is not the place to talk, let's go in and talk."

Siyuan has been idle and bored all these years, and has learned almost all the languages, but after he finished learning, he realized that it is not unreasonable that each of these monsters is so knowledgeable, after all, with such a long lifespan, it is really boring not to do something.

After he finished speaking, the archangel realized that there were other people in front of him besides the Great Devil, so she turned her head to look at Siyuan, and asked this breathless ordinary person in a condescending tone: "Who are you, and what qualifications do you have to talk to me?" ”

"Don't you think the air here is terrible, this beautiful lady? A smell of bird droppings. Siyuan covered his nose lightly: "It's very smelly." ”

He did smell bird droppings after the archangel came over, but he hadn't thought about the archangel at the time, after all, she was still quite beautiful, and no matter how you looked at it, it wouldn't have anything to do with the smell of bird droppings. It should probably be a big beauty with a faint body fragrance like the one in the novel.

But after arriving in the tent, Siyuan knew where this smell came from, the stench emitted from the pair of white wings that had not been cleaned for a long time, didn't it smell like bird droppings.

Siyuan was so smoked that he almost wanted to vomit, but the archangel didn't realize it, and saw Siyuan with his head down and a cold sweat. She thought it was her divine might that had frightened the barbarian of the East.

"Mortals from the East, I ......"

"Wait a minute." Siyuan suddenly raised his hand: "Although it is rude to interrupt you, I want to ask, how long have you not taken a bath?" ”

This question coldly interrupted the archangel's thoughts, and she hesitated for a moment before saying proudly: "Two hundred and thirty yuan for five years." ”

"Can I ask you to take a shower?" Siyuan finally couldn't help but cover his nose: "The smell on your body...... It's amazing. ”

"Bold! You want me to get near that filthy thing? ”

Siyuan blinked and looked at her, and said in his heart that this filthy thing couldn't be water, right?

But after he realized that the filthy thing was referring to water, the green tendons on his head burst out, and this sloppy and second-class Heavenly Master seemed to ...... It doesn't seem to fucking think it's a shame to not take a shower at all, but rather proud of it, right? It would be a matter of saying that Europeans in this era were ignorant. I didn't expect this birdman to be so ignorant?

"If you don't take a shower, please go out." Siyuan didn't bother to be polite to her: "In the East, it's a shame to see guests with a peculiar smell on your body. ”

The archangel immediately felt humiliated, Chao Siyuan pulled out her holy sword, and when John VIII next to him saw this, he immediately dodged in the direction of Siyuan, and then watched how it changed......

Seeing the other party draw his sword, Siyuan didn't say anything. The Great Devil and John VIII, who were snickering, stood up: "Give you half an hour, and wash it here." ”

After all that is said. This temporary camp suddenly turned into a large bathroom that suddenly became transparent, and then Siyuan also took out two sets of clothes and hung them on the archangel's sword like a trick, raised his eyes to look at her, and said expressionlessly: "The rule here is that you are not allowed to come out without washing it to the body with a charming orange fragrance, don't believe you try it yourself." ”

After speaking. He opened the door with two men and walked out, then closed the seemingly light wooden door.

After going out, the Great Devil was stunned: "The power of high-level rules!" Groove ...... You've learned the power of the higher-level rules! ”

Siyuan was noncommittal, just lit a cigarette and looked at the sea, and said in a deep voice: "Fifteen years." It's boring. ”

The power of this high-order rule is to use the basic law of all worlds, "equivalent exchange", to create an imaginary non-living matter, also known as the Great Creation Technique. Theoretically speaking, as long as there is a basic substance and corresponding energy, then all the qiē in the world, including life, can be created, but the creation of life is not in accordance with the rules, once life is created by the world, it is very easy to cause the world to collapse, except in a completely wild world where no rules are born. And once a life is created, then the world will default to the creator of the creator, and there will be a lot of trouble at that time.

However, using the trees, sand and sea water here plus energy to create a hot bathing room, this is simply a sprinkle of water for Siyuan. And he added a rule of conduct to the bathroom - women were not allowed to come out without washing, and the flow of time was thirty times slower.

"You're so vicious...... You are making the Archangels openly disobey the doctrine of not bathing. ”

"But I don't want to talk to a girl who smells of guano." Siyuan said coolly.

After speaking, he turned his head to look at John VIII, who was trembling beside him: "Your Majesty, at this time, we can have a good chat." ”

Although John VIII didn't know how this man built a bathhouse, his strength was beyond doubt, and I was afraid that the archangel or something was completely not enough to see, so the clever John VIII immediately chose not to resist, even if these barbarians from the East needed his country, the whole of Rome and even the whole of Europe, he had no hesitation to be the leading party.

"Your Majesty, don't worry." Siyuan waved his hand: "I need you to play the role of a messenger, and in the coming month, I hope you can help me bring the message to the whole of Europe." These include the United Kingdom, France, Spain, Portugal, the Netherlands, Germany, Russia and Turkey. In a month's time, I need to come to a roundtable, is that okay? ”

"When...... Of course...... Of course you can......"

Fifteen years of quasi-emperor career, Siyuan, who ruled hundreds of millions of people, has actually thrown off this Byzantine emperor ten streets in terms of bearing, and his serious look and his momentum on the invincible ironclad fleet really frightened this emperor.

But there was one thing that puzzled him...... Why did this guy bring all the European powers together?

"By the way, by the way, tell the French, send Joan of Arc over. Joan of Arc did not reach Rome in seven days, on the eighth day I would bombard Lyon, and on the ninth day I would bulldoze Paris. ”

"Your Majesty...... 陛xià...... Joan of Arc is...... It is guarded by the Pope's men......"

Frightened, John VIII trembled and bulldozed Paris one day...... This is definitely a joke in the eyes of others, but he has seen the power of this Eastern Emperor, and he said that if he can do it, he must be able to do it.

"Oh?" Siyuan pointed to the bathhouse behind him: "Do you mean the birdman inside?" ”

"That's right! It's that birdman. ”

After saying this insulting term, for some reason John VIII felt a resentment erupt in his chest: "That birdman...... No, those birdmen won't agree to your request, Majesty. ”

"Okay, wait until she comes out." Siyuan turned his head and walked towards the beach, but his voice hit John VIII's eardrums:

"I don't mind completely occupying the Vatican and turning that into a national park."

it!

John VIII was shocked, the things he had been fantasizing about all his life actually came out of the mouth of this Eastern Emperor with ease, which made him not calm down, so he decided that this time he must seize the opportunity.

When he saw the back of the Eastern Emperor again, he silently made a decision in his heart: "Oh, birds, you make me unhappy for a while, I will make you unhappy for the rest of your life, wait and see." ”

"Yes, I will do my best to help you, my distinguished guest of the East." (To be continued......)
