Chapter 159: Leaving by Night (Part 1)

Although Maria and Margaret seemed to hate Eugen, when Eugen was about to leave, they still felt very reluctant.

What's more, this time Eugen is going to fight the Black Death, it is impossible to say that there is no danger, in case of bad luck and also contracting the disease, then this farewell will become a farewell.

Therefore, the two did not leave that night, and reluctantly pulled Eugen to talk for most of the night, saying that it was to discuss the assembly line and the musket carefully, but in fact, it was to be able to get along with Eugen for a while.

It is rare that the three of them get together and have a long talk, without any resentment between each other, just a kind of sorrow when parting.

In the second half of the night, the two eldest ladies couldn't hold it anymore and finally fell asleep one after another. Eugen carried them to bed alone, then left the room and hailed a carriage towards the Italian peninsula.

The prince made it clear in his letter that the situation was already so critical that there was no room for delay, and Eugen set out in the starry night and headed straight for the disaster area.

And he doesn't like that kind of sad parting, instead of crying and crying, it is better to leave quietly like this, which can add a lot of trouble.

As it was late at night, the coachman slowed down a bit, and Eugen sat on the carriage and leaned against the carriage for a while, and by the time he opened his eyes again, they had already arrived near the water city of Venice.

"Coachman, where are we now?" Eugen lifted the window of his car and looked out, and he could see a blue sea on his left, and they were walking along the road by the sea.

The coachman smiled and said, "My lord, we are now in Venice and are on our way to Florence, and if nothing else, we will be able to reach Florence tonight." ”

Eugen heard a trace of exhaustion from the coachman's words, and thought that the coachman had not slept all night, and had been on the road all night, and had long been sleepy and tired.

After thinking about it, Eugen said: "In that case, let's stop in Venice first, and we don't have to rush to Florence." ”

"What?" The coachman was a little surprised by Eugen's request, and he was ordered to send Eugen to Florence as quickly as possible, so he did not understand Eugen's request.

"I said, stop in Venice and send me to the city hall in Venice!" Eugen said unquestionably.

The coachman pursed his lips and did not speak, but finally obeyed Eugen's order, turned his horse's head and ran towards the city of Venice.

At noon, Eugen stood in front of the door of the Venice City Hall, which was architecturally unique and had several high steps, presumably to protect the water, making the hall look intimidating and intimidating.

Time was short, Eugen raised his legs and walked towards the town hall, but there was no one walking in the town hall of Nuoda, it seemed a little deserted, Eugen riding boots stepped on the smooth marble floor, the sound was very crisp.

Along the way, Eugen had already noticed that the whole Venetian harbor was no longer as lively as it used to be, the city was deserted, and the number of pedestrians was much less.

This is naturally due to the order of the pearl seal on the Italian peninsula. At the behest of the Duke of Gian, all seaports in the entire Italian peninsula were closed, and ships were forbidden to enter and leave the port, and Venice was no exception.

As a seaport city, this order had a great impact on Venice, and when it lost its function as a seaport, the city immediately became depressed, and people's lives were greatly affected.

For this reason, there were even some riots in Venice, with some sailors who had lost their jobs making trouble in the city to try to restore the harbor to traffic.

However, this order was given by the Duke of Gian himself, and Venice was one of the cities directly controlled by the Medici family, and it can be said that all the rebellions were easily suppressed in the end and did not have much impact.

It's just that these events happened that broke the heart of the local mayor of Golras.

Mayor Gollas was a member of the Medici family, just a baron, and his title was not high, but because of his extraordinary ability, the family was exceptionally promoted and appointed mayor of Venice, an important city.

Under the rule of Golas, Venice has also maintained peace and prosperity, and there has been almost no major chaos for more than ten years.

Now Mayor Golas is nearly fifty years old, his energy has begun to decline, and he is quite unable to do things, and now he has encountered an eventful season, which has made Mayor Golas anxious, and the hair on the top of his head is bald.

In order to cover up, Mayor Golas had to make a white wig and put it on his head all day long. It's just that the Sichuan character lines between his eyebrows have already shown his anxiety.

At noon, Mayor Gulas lay on the velvet bed in his office, enjoying a rare moment of rest.

At this moment, a waiter suddenly burst into the office in a hurry, without even knocking on the door.

However, this was also an order from Mayor Golras, who had said that if there was an emergency, he could come in and report to him without knocking.

"Report to the Mayor, there's a Count Eugen in the hall downstairs, and he says he wants to see you." The waiter said respectfully, he really didn't want to disturb Mayor Golas at this time, but the Count Eugen was more honorable, and said that there was an emergency to see the local mayor.

Mayor Gerrath was in a half-asleep and half-awake when the sudden report made him feel like he didn't understand what the waiter was saying, and after a moment he came back to his senses, looked at the waiter and asked suspiciously, "What?" What did you just say? ”

The waiter had to repeat it, emphasizing Eugen's identity.

"Count Eugen?" Gerrath muttered the name, which he always felt so familiar that he couldn't remember it for a while.

"Okay, I'll go down with you and meet this Count Eugen for myself."

Since the nap had been disturbed, Mayor Golas stood up and walked downstairs with the waiter.

Walking on the stairs, the mayor had a flash of inspiration in his mind, and he suddenly figured out the identity of this Count Eugen.

It is no exaggeration to say that although Golas had never met the Count of Eugen, he felt as if he had known him for many years.

The reason why this is the case is because these days, his ears are almost cocooned when he hears this name.

The first is the pearl sealing plan, which is said to have been created by this man's subordinates in the first place, and then he came to Italy himself and became the commander of some disaster army, and in terms of subordination alone, it seems that even he is a subordinate of this Count Eugen.
