Once in Rome, Marin entered the city with only 100 guards. As for the 200 scouts and 200 officers, Marin directly helped find a station outside the city of Rome and let them stay temporarily.

Marin had a very good relationship with the military of the Papal States, and even now there are 7,000 soldiers and horses in the Papal States. Therefore, these 400 subordinates were directly arranged to an abandoned castle on the outskirts of Rome, and the living conditions were much better than sleeping in the wilderness.

When you arrive in Rome, how can you not see your husband? Therefore, Marin brought a lot of gifts and went to visit his father-in-law.

Seeing Marin, Julius II was a little annoyed. Because, this goods abducted all his two daughters. However, the North Sea Kingdom is so far from Rome. As a result, it was very inconvenient for Julius II to want to see his daughter, or for his daughter to see him. So, when he saw Marin, Julius II glared with a bit of a beard.

He didn't bother to look at the gifts sent by Marin. Because, he's the Pope, what good things haven't you seen? It was a bucket of maple syrup sent by Marin that piqued his interest. After all, there is no such thing on the European continent, it is a rarity.

"The New World?" Julius II asked.

"Yes, it is made from the sap taken from a hole in a tree, it has a sweet taste and is very nutritious. Of course, you can't eat too much. However, with this, you don't need to eat sucrose. ”

Maple syrup is also a type of sugar, but the sugar content is not as high as sucrose. Moreover, because it has various minerals and organic acids, it is very beneficial for the nutritional supplement of the human body. Especially for older people like Julius II, it is best to eat this nutritious syrup.

Julius II nodded, smiling at Marin's filial piety. But Marin added:

"However, this thing is a specialty of the New World, you eat it yourself, don't take it out for others to see, otherwise it will be difficult to explain!"

Julius II rolled his eyes:

"The old man still needs you to teach? I'll tell people that it's a syrup imported from the Middle East, isn't that the end of it? "Italy and the Middle East come and go, and God knows what strange stuff from the Middle East will flow into Italy. Moreover, in this era, Europe and the Middle East were communicating with each other because of religious issues, and in fact, they did not know each other very well.

After the maple syrup under his command, Julius II suddenly said:

"I remember you said that you wanted to raise Felise's child, Robert, to be the future Pope?"

"Yes, there is such a plan, what's wrong?"

"When this battle is over, send Robert to Rome." Julius II said lightly.

"What? How old is Robert? Sent to Rome so early? Isn't it too early? "Robert is still a three- or four-year-old baby, so early enough to adapt to a place like Rome? What's more, Marin actually has selfish intentions, that is, the child has not yet been raised, and if he leaves him so early, he may not be close to him in the future. Even if he became a pope, he might not be willing to help his brother Caesar...... Therefore, over the years, it is best to keep it by your side and cultivate a relationship with yourself and Caesar.

Julius II glared at Marin and said:

"I'm not going to let him live in Rome from now on, but to let him make an appearance in Rome first, so that everyone knows that there is such a person, and that he is a member of my Rovere family! Otherwise, how would he be sheltered as a cardinal? ”

"What? Arranged for his identity? Marin said with joy in his heart.

"Well, after the destruction of the Borgia family, there are no survivors in the main lineage of the Rovere family, but there are still people in the side branches. I persuaded a side relative to declare Robert as their child, and officially named him Robert. Della. Rovere. In this way, Robert is considered a descendant of my family. And I also have a reason to shield him as a cardinal, and at the age of 18 he went directly to the Holy See! I'm old now, and I don't know when I'll see God. Therefore, the problem of Robert's shadow must be solved as soon as possible! With that, Julius II let out a long sigh. He is already 65 years old, and in this era, he is already considered to be a long life, and he may go to heaven at any time. So, he had to get some things done while he was alive.

"Which family will be suspected? After all, a child suddenly appeared in their house......"

"It's okay, their family was hiding from Caesar. Borgia pursued and fled into the mountains, only came out this year, and had little contact with the outside world. How many children they have in their family, it is not clear to outsiders. "Apparently, Julius II was carefully chosen.

"That kid ...... later"

"Sent Rome every winter to accompany Angela and Felice's mother for a few months. The rest of the time, go back to residence in Aurich! ”

"Okay, that's it!" As long as he is not separated from his family from now on, Marin can accept it. As for living in Rome in the winter, you should go out to school. Moreover, it was also necessary for Robert to adapt to the living conditions of the city of Rome from an early age. Because, when he grows up, he will always stay there.

……

After talking about this, Julius II spoke again about the Medici bishops. Previously, Marin had written to him asking him to pay attention to this young cardinal from the Medici family, which puzzled Julius II. This time, he simply asked:

"Why are you optimistic about this young man? Do you think he will be the next pope? "Julius II was skeptical. Because, this named Giovanni. Advance. Lorenzo. Morality. The cardinal of the Medici is also a little too young. Born in 1475, he is now only 33 years old. Most of the previous popes were elected at the age of fifty or sixty. Could it be that he can live for 20 years? Julius II was not that confident.

"This is my instinct, back then, I thought Angela was noble, so I didn't hesitate to marry her from an unknown source. You see, now I've earned ......."

"You thought I would be pope?" Julius II's eyes widened. It's not that he doesn't believe it, it's that he does. Because, Julius II himself was a very superstitious person. Every time you travel, you have to ask the astrologer to divinate the good fortune and evil first, and even the route of the trip also refers to the divination results.

"Unexpectedly, I just felt that Angela was beautiful and noble. Then, unable to help but fall in love with her...... "Where is Marin willing to tell the truth?" To be honest, he is a speculative villain in the eyes of his father-in-law. However, there is also something strange to reveal. Otherwise, the old man doesn't believe in himself.

So, he said nonsense:

"You see, my instincts are accurate. Back then, in the Battle of Fornovo, why did I lie in ambush on that mountain road? It was still an ambush in the middle of the night, because I had a hunch that the French army would run away that night. So, in advance of the ambush, a miraculous victory was fought that shocked Europe! ”

"No wonder...... I thought you were a coincidence, but it turned out to be a hunch...... So, you have a hunch that this Medici bishop is the next pope? ”

"It's just a gut feeling, it's not necessarily accurate......"

"That's enough!" Julius II, who had always been superstitious, finally made up his mind......

So he called his servant and commanded:

"Bring the Medici bishop!"
