Chapter 113: I'm Angry!
Night finally fell, and the heavy cavalry rode back to the castle.
Corleone was then sent to a side room in the castle, where an old man dressed in a robe with a beard that reached his chest walked into the room and treated Corleone.
Owen waited anxiously outside the door, and he wanted to go inside to watch, but Maester Moclos wouldn't allow anyone to disturb his treatment.
There were more than a hundred of them when they set out, but now, only Corleone and Owen were left. Owen knew that he had survived because of the task Corleone had given him, otherwise they would all have died at the hands of the robbers.
Now that Corleone's life is hanging by a thread, Owen is already extremely nervous. If even Corleone died, he really didn't know how to live, maybe he might as well die with those brothers.
Of course, he has a more important goal right now, which is to seek revenge on the Blackbeard Thieves!
Afterwards, the heavy cavalry team chased more than ten kilometers out, but soon lost the trace of the thieves. The local lord also ordered an investigation into the origin of the bandits, and finally found only a secret temporary camp, but the building was empty and found nothing.
In fact, this group of cavalry appeared very strangely, the area was already the hinterland of the Holy Roman Empire, and the law and order had always been good, surrounded by the armies of various lords, and soldiers were stationed at important road crossings.
But now, a group of robbers of several hundred people sneaked in quietly, and they didn't get any news beforehand.
As the investigation progressed, the non-commissioned officers vaguely found that the incident seemed to have some connection with some of the surrounding nobles.
It was a great crime, and the association of nobles and robbers was a great crime punishable by capital punishment in any place and in any era. Finally, the investigation reached an impasse. No one dared to continue the investigation, and the person in charge of the investigation did not even dare to mention it again.
These are all things that happened in secret, and Owen didn't know about it, and the local nobles gave the statement afterwards that the gang of robbers appeared suddenly, and did not mention anything else.
Corleone was a native of Eugen and had some ties to the Church, and Cardinal Mordesar of Heidelberg himself said that Corleone's actions were protected and supported by the Church.
The local lord was just a small viscount, and he did not dare to participate in the struggle of these big men at all. He hurriedly wrote a letter and sent it to the Cardinal of Heidelberg, objectively describing the facts, emphasizing the fact that Corleone was not dead, and then ordered the servants to take good care of Corleone and quietly wait for the news.
When Modessar learned of the specific situation, he was also a little surprised, and he was not suitable to deal with this matter, so he also wrote a letter and forwarded it to Eugen, who was fighting the Black Death on the southern Italian peninsula.
Eugen can only be described by the word burnt out right now.
The whole of Sicily was already in disarray, and after the implementation of the motive plan, all the ships on Sicily were burned, and no one escaped except for the first nobles who left.
The first ships were arranged by Rambo, who knew that he could not trap everyone to death, and that he had to leave a way out, which was contrary to his conscience, but it was the most appropriate thing to do.
However, after the ships docked, Eugen immediately ordered all the people above to be detained, and everyone was locked in a specific room for isolation and observation to see if they were infected with the disease.
As for the ships, they were all burned down, whether they were good or bad. This lot alone caused huge losses, and if you count them in gold coins, I am afraid that it has already exceeded one million Kild gold coins.
The detained nobles also had a huge backlash, and they were furious and said that they would use their family power to make Eugen pay a heavy price.
It can be said that Eugen directly offended most of the aristocratic families in the entire Italian peninsula, and if he is implicated, he can even pull out such a behemoth as the Elector family.
But Eugen didn't pay any attention to this, and the Black Death spread, and the price was too heavy for him to take the risk. As for the pressure from the family, Duke Ji'an also helped him withstand it all.
In the face of the many nobles who impeached Eugen, the Duke of Gian only said one sentence: "Eugen's order represents my order, and now in this special period, I want him to temporarily take the position of Duke of Tuscany, do you have any opinions?" ”
In one sentence, everyone closed their mouths in unison, and at the same time the Holy See also spoke in support of Eugen, so that all opposition voices were completely silenced.
And it was not the troublemakers who gave Eugen a headache, but the terrible Black Death in Sicily.
In fact, until now, he had no idea of an effective solution to the Black Death. All of this is a passive delay, and he may be able to stop the Black Death for a while, but it is impossible for it to disappear completely.
To put it bluntly, there was no way for him to treat the disease, not even with his modern knowledge.
Once someone is infected, the only thing that awaits that person is death, and if the Black Death is allowed to land on the continent, it will only be a matter of time before a full-blown outbreak occurs.
The key point is to look at the doctors in Heidelberg, and only by asking them to find an effective solution to the Black Death can they do it once and for all.
Although it was difficult for these medieval doctors to fight against this disease, they could only be put on the shelves in the hope that one or two geniuses would emerge from the huge number of doctors.
Eugen then set his sights on the message from the Heidelberg area, and saw the letter that Mordesal had written to him.
When he saw the words Corleone's dying life, Eugen was completely furious!
"I'm just these two fucking retainers, now one doesn't know if he lives or dies, and the other is dying, fucking play with me! It's a big deal, Lao Tzu put the Black Death in, and we're all finished! ”
Eugen roared in anger, he couldn't help but be angry. All the arrangements he made after he came here were for the whole of the European continent, whether it was a nobleman or a commoner, and theoretically he should have a part of it.
But now Eugen didn't fall at all, but someone kept stumbling on him, making small moves behind his back, and even almost killed Corleone. As the saying goes, clay figurines also have three points of fire, not to mention that Eugen can now be said to have the fate of all Europe in his hands.
In this way, after Eugen's rage, within half a day, a territory-wide notice was sent out from Florence as the center and sent to various noble realms of the Holy Roman Empire!
