"Well, now it's okay." After moving the stones, Owen Pluto slapped his big hand, looked at the ten gold coins stacked on the ground, and looked at Corleone with a suspicious expression.

Corleone smiled, picked up the gold coins on the ground, and spread his hand to Owen and said, "Of course, they are yours." ”

Owen walked up to Corleone, reached out and took the gold coins in his hand, and then held them tightly. The cold, hard touch passed from his hand, and Owen could finally believe that it was real, and what could be more real in the world than a gold coin?

Corleone turned to face all the villagers, bowed slowly, and said with a graceful smile, "I am Corleone, a knight of the Empire, and a true trusted friend of yours. ”

"Good, good!" The villagers finally had no reason to suspect the strange knight, and the atmosphere around them became warm and relaxed again, and the interrupted banquet was held again.

The old lady at the entrance of the village had already walked out with her grandchildren, and they saw the whole thing. At the end of the bet, the villagers are singing and dancing around Corleone, who they really consider to be their friend. The old lady suddenly thought of something, and began to try to push through the crowd and squeeze in, it was hard to imagine that her old body could burst out with such power.

"Hello, trusted friend of the villagers of Talitar, noble knight." The old lady finally squeezed to Corleone's side, grabbed Corleone's arm, and said breathlessly.

Corleone recognized the old lady, and at the moment he didn't understand why she suddenly appeared, so he asked suspiciously, "What's wrong?" Wife? ”

"Venerable knight, didn't you ask me about Dr. Thomas Miller before? I'm here to tell you now, if only you could give me ten...... No...... One Kild gold coin, and I'll tell you all about Dr. Thomas Miller. The old lady said quickly, and the folds of her face were full of smiles.

Corleone finally understood what she meant, and he nodded knowingly, and asked with a smile, "Oh, is that so?" But didn't you have a bad ear and a bad throat before? I'm too tired of you. ”

"Hey, no, no." The old lady grabbed Corleone's arm tightly, as if she was afraid that he would run away, and at the same time said with a light in her eyes: "Under the light of the gold coin, even a deaf person will hear the sound." Even if you are dumb, you can speak again. ”

There's not much more to say about Corleone, he does need help. For this he took a gold coin directly from his bosom, put it in the old lady's hand and said, "Well, tell me everything." ”

......

Early the next morning, Corleone left the village of Tarital. It turned out that Dr. Thomas Miller was living on an independent farm near the village of Talitar and seemed to be doing some kind of planting research there.

Residents of the village of Talital do not seek medical attention from Dr. Thomas Miller, so they do not know much about Dr. Thomas Miller's condition. The old lady would have known, or if it was because his son was on an errand on the manor.

Before leaving, Corleone also thought about taking Owen Pluto and letting him follow him to serve Lord Eugen. However, Owen refused, it turned out that he stayed in the village to take care of his sick old mother, and he would not leave here for the time being.

Corleone had nothing to say, so he only asked him to go to Vienna to find him when he had an idea later.

Following the direction the old lady pointed, Corleone finally came to the door of the manor.

At the back of the manor is a piece of land surrounded by a red masonry fence, planted with some oddly shaped green vegetation. If anyone who knows anything about plants here, they will recognize these as quite valuable medicinal herbs.

A man in a black linen robe with a cross around his neck by the fence looked as if he were a priest and stood bent over. The man was intently observing the vegetation in the fence, occasionally pinching the leaves with his hands.

"Father Thomas Miller, a Habsburg knight has asked to see you." The maid named Erin walked up to the priest and said with a respectful expression.

Father Thomas Miller straightened up, wiped his hands with a rag on the fence, and said to the maid, "Take him to the drawing-room, and I'll be there later." ”

The maid said yes and turned away. Only then did Father Thomas Miller murmur with a little confusion: "Habsburg knights? What did he ask me for? ”

......

In the living room, Dr. Thomas Miller looked at the knight in front of him, and the emblem of the black eagle was indeed the Habsburg family.

"You're saying you're going to invite me to a medical competition?" Father Thomas Miller asked, a look of doubt between his brows.

Corleone nodded and said respectfully: "Yes, there will be a great medical event at Heidelberg University between Stuttgart and Frankfurt. On behalf of the organizer, General Eugen Habsburg, I would like to invite you to participate. ”

"General Eugen Habsburg? What a familiar name, isn't this the general who recently defeated the French Empire? Fr. Thomas Miller asked with interest as he recited the name.

"Yes, it's the general, I'm his retainer, you can trust the general's credibility." Corleone said respectfully, Dr. Thomas Miller's medical skills are so renowned that he is an important person on Corleone's invitation list.

Corleone's list is a very important part of Eugen's plan. In the name of the competition, famous doctors were brought together to study a solution to the Black Death. He believes that with the ability of these people, when they get together, they will be able to collide with some sparks of wisdom.

"Oh, General Eugen is indeed respectable. But as you can see, I have now thrown myself into the arms of the Lord and become a priest. I'm sorry, but I can't attend the tournament you said. ”

Father Miller politely refused, and Corleone bowed and said, "Don't you listen to the prize money of the tournament?" ”

"Needless to say, no matter what the prize money is, I won't participate." Father Miller is right.

"The prize money for the competition is 100,000 Kild gold coins!" Corleone said indifferently.

"Uh...... Erin, prepare my luggage, I'm going to Heidelberg in a few days. Father Miller turned to the servant and said, then looked back at Corleone and smiled, "It's Heidelberg, no problem." ”

The expression on Corleone's face remained unchanged, and he still smiled indifferently: "No problem, we will take care of your food and accommodation during the competition, and the University of Heidelberg is waiting for you." ”
