Chapter 21: Because of God

Corleone walked alone on the village road in Taritar, which was paved with stones, and there was an uneven touch when stepping on it.

He looked around as he walked, trying to find a villager to ask him something about Dr. Thomas Miller. However, when the villagers saw him coming, they covered their doors and windows, and some of the brave ones only dared to hide behind the door and look secretly.

In normal times, these villagers are very hospitable, and in times of war, no one dares to trust others. As the war approached, the young people of the village had fled far away, and most of the people who remained in the area were old, weak, sick and disabled.

After walking around the village twice, Corleone probably guessed why the villagers were afraid of him, which made him feel a little helpless. However, it is believed that this situation will not last long, and the French Empire and its own country have signed a truce. Even if the hostility between the two sides is still strong, there should not be any major friction in the short term.

The King of France was so outraged by this defeat that he was rumored to have scolded Marshal Rausch Tyrande at court, even threatening to refuse to pay the ransom so that Rausch Tyrande would rot on enemy soil.

But this is just a matter of words, Tyrande is a noble family in the French Empire. The Empire also valued the honor of the state, so it eventually signed a contract with the Holy Roman Empire and paid the corresponding ransom.

However, to the surprise of the French Empire, it was not the enemy marshal who defeated them who signed the agreement with the French Empire, but another person, the Viscount of Darmstast. This made the French Empire feel insulted again, and Eugen became an arrogant and arrogant person in the eyes of the French.

This was a bit of a mistake to Eugen, who was speeding down the roads of the Holy Roman Empire when the two countries signed the agreement. He was on his way to Vienna, the heart of the Habsburg family ---- the famous city of art.

Upon receiving news of his victory, King Charles VI directly offered to personally receive Eugen in the palace and knight him. The old king, who was very old and suffering from some hidden sickness for many years, was a great honour to offer to meet Eugen under such circumstances.

Prince Eugen also expressed his appreciation for Eugen and seemed to give Eugen some substantial rewards, but the specific reward was not stated in the letter.

Both of these figures were at the top of the Holy Roman Empire, and for Eugen they were also places to look up to. Therefore, Eugen had to put down everything he was doing and hurried towards Vienna.

"Alas, it's certainly great to be able to get the attention of the big guys, not to mention the rewards. I just don't know if I have the life to enjoy these rewards. ”

Eugen, who was sitting in the carriage, turned his head to look out the window and muttered to himself with some pessimism, the paper and quills in his hands, and the simplified map of Europe spread out on his knees.

Rambo sat across from Eugen with a bookcase beside him, neatly stacked of books that had been rummaged through from Viscount Dhamtast's castle.

Even on the road, Eugen was busy thinking about measures to deal with the Black Death. Diseases are not soldiers, they are more invincible than others. In a sense, this is also a battlefield on a different level, with Eugen as the defender and the Black Death as the attacker.

And this war will be even more cruel, because it determines the life and death of tens of millions of people.

"How's that, Rambo, have you found anything?" Eugen asked, turning his gaze to Rambo.

Hearing this, Rambo raised his head, closed the book and put it beside him, and said a little tiredly: "Report to the master, no." I've read through all these books on treating the sick, and there's no way to 'stop the spread of the disease' that you want. ”

"Actually, the head of the house. Although these books mention healing and saving people, they can use methods similar to witchcraft or magic magic. According to your requirements, after removing all the content related to God, there is no substance at all. ”

Speaking of this, Rambo hesitated for a moment, but still said a doubt that had been hidden in his heart: "Family Master, I don't understand why you want me and Corleone to do these things?" If you go to a doctor and read a medical book, do you want to be a doctor? Or are you feeling unwell somewhere? ”

Eugen had expected the Lanbo to ask this question, but until now, he had not figured out how to answer it. After experiencing the incident of Father Martin, Eugen has already felt the inconvenience of lying, not to mention that Rambo is a retainer who lives and dies with him, and he is really embarrassed to lie to him.

However, aside from lying, Eugen has almost nothing to say, and he can't tell Rambo the truth. Therefore, Eugen could only close his eyes and meditate, and the carriage fell into a long silence for a while.

"Rack, rack." Syllable...... The coachman sat in front and flicked his whip vigorously, and the passengers demanded that he hurry to Vienna as fast as possible, and that he should be rewarded with ten large silver coins. Twenty such large groschen coins were worth a kild of gold, and the income from this trip was already equivalent to half a month's income of the coachman. In the face of such a generous aristocrat, the coachman must of course try his best to meet the requirements of his employer.

The car sped forward, and the tall oak trees on the side of the road retreated one after the other. Eugen in the car thought for a long time, and finally sighed heavily.

"Alas, Rambo, there are some things that I can't tell you clearly." Eugen looked directly into Rambo's eyes and said helplessly: "Why do you want to do this, in fact, I don't know." If I had to say anything, it would be God's will. ”

"Believe me, though, that I'm doing the right thing for you to do. It will play some vital role at some point in the future. Eugen's tone suddenly became firm, and a strange light flashed in his eyes, staring at Rambo and asking, "Do you believe me?" Rambo? ”

In the face of Eugen's explanation, Rambo was a little difficult to accept in his heart. God's will, this is really a meaningless and omnipotent reason, and you can't argue with it at all. But in fact, this is tantamount to saying nothing.

However, when Eugen asked him, Rambo suddenly found that Eugen's eyes were exactly the same as when he commanded the battle that day.
