I looked back at the guard standing at the door, approached the old duke, and asked in a low voice, "How did you find me?" Is it because I'm so handsome? ”

The old duke quietly skipped the question of choosing between I was too handsome or I was too ugly, and came up with an answer that I didn't expect: "It's easy to find you, you know the symbol on the bronze medal, don't you?" ”

Come on! Every literate Chinese knows this symbol!

However, it seems that in this era, the word hi has not yet been invented, and Aeneas thousands of years ago used this word as a code for followers to identify each other, which is indeed very smart, but it is not excluded that one or two lucky people happen to know this word, and then indiscriminately fill the number, and are regarded as the reincarnation of Aeneas and use the powerful underground empire he left behind.

"There are a lot of people who know this word, why me?"

I graciously confessed that I did know the word, and continued to ask the Duke of Crescenti, this old fellow was a pump, and it would take a lot of trouble to get some truth out of his mouth.

"Quite simply, we have our own source of information, the keen nightingale hidden in the vast sea of people, it may be a nobleman with a high position, it may be a respected clergyman, it may be a big merchant with a lot of money, maybe it is just a dirty beggar begging for a charity on the side of the city wall."

"This organization has existed for 2,000 years, and it is like an octopus with teeth and claws, reaching out to every corner of the world, just like those who followed Aeneas to Italy, always holding fast to their beliefs, preparing tirelessly for generations to fulfill their oath and await the resurrection of their leaders."

The expression on the old duke's face at the moment is very much like a witch before the reform and opening up, and the expression of egg pain is extremely fucked.

"Our intelligence officer, finding you in Venice is my fresh commodity: paper!"

"I've never seen anything like this before, and then I sent people to your realm, and found something very different from other noble realms, and the Oracle of Aeneas once fabled that his reincarnation would be a great man who would turn things around, and you fit all of the above qualities, including defeating me with such a whimsical way as a mountain of earth."

"Some of our members don't approve of you, thinking you're not great enough, you're not special enough, but I've staked your bet on you, and now it seems to have succeeded. Of course, there have been many great figures who have opened up the world in the past two thousand years, and Alexander the Great, who conquered Persia, has made unprecedented achievements. ”

"Archimedes, the Syracusus, who invented many novel machines, Julius Caesar the Conqueror of Gaul, whose military prowess is unparalleled. Again and again, our people think they have found it, but they are disappointed again and again. Because these great people who changed history didn't know the characters on the bronze medal at all, and even thought that we were heretics and wanted to kill them all, they all died. ”

Hearing this, a cool breath rose from my back and rushed straight to the back of my head, and the pores of my whole body suddenly became cold and comfortable, and I didn't know whether to be glad that I was indeed a traverser, or regret that I had been on their thief ship.

To be honest, I'm a little bit used to the life of the Middle Ages now, although the basic conditions are poor, but in general, the aristocratic life is still good, but the curiosity that killed the cat, let me accidentally show my feet, I really want to see what that time-traveling machine looks like, a victim of science fiction!

"Now that I've said that, give me Aeneas's drawings, the kind of line symbol manuscripts that you can't read, are you?"

I can't wait to see the design of the time machine, if possible, I also want to draw a gourd to make one, since people from 2,000 years ago can successfully travel back, why can't I be in the era of more developed productivity?

"You mean the Aegean Scrolls? It is true that there is a manuscript written by Aeneas himself, but in order to prevent our organization from being mixed with spies, or being destroyed by people because of lack of determination, this scroll has been destroyed, and the entire drawing has been preserved by the ten people who followed him back then. ”

The old duke said seriously, with a serious expression like a bitter and hateful ideological and political teacher in the Marx theory class, and now the plot is more and more like the Da Vinci code.

"So what? Aren't you their leader? How about gathering these people together, and then handing over the blueprints in your hands, and I will give you the perfect ending of the thousand-year vow, and everyone will take what they need and be happy? ”

I turned my head to look at the guard at the door, and there was some impatience on his face, perhaps because I was very close to the old duke biting his ear and whispering, so that he could not explain the specific details of the meeting to His Majesty the Emperor and was anxious, and then I suddenly remembered what kind of excuse should be used to prevaricate after returning to His Majesty, and his suspicion that I had been talking to the leader of the rebels for a long time was really nerve-wracking.

"It's impossible, the fragments have been scattered in the long river of two thousand years, some families have become extinct, some families have withdrawn from the organization, some have identified themselves to the authorities, and then the fragments were snatched and killed by those greedy rulers, we only have three fragments in our own hands, and the rest are scattered in various countries, in their different owners, the mystery of the legend makes them believe that it is the treasure map of Troy, so they will dig out their hearts to get it."

The old duke deliberately stayed away from me, put on an impatient appearance to show the guards who were watching us, and raised his voice and shouted, "What? You still want to bargain with me, what can't you say in public, is it possible that you, a native bun from the countryside, will let the opportunity to eat swan meat for nothing slip away from your eyes? Think carefully about my original advice, ugly redneck! ”

"You are now a prisoner of His Majesty the Emperor, don't be so arrogant anymore, as a warning to the rebels who are about to stir up, you will soon be a rotten piece of meat on the tip of your spear, crows will peck at your slimy eyes, flies will dance around your funny hooked nose, do not pray that I will intercede for you, for I am glad to see such ecological harmony."

I followed the old duke's words and continued to play very much, but it really made him angry, and he was about to come up and beat me with his fist, I hurriedly reached out and grabbed his arm, and the two of them scuffled together, and the old duke leaned over and said in my ear:

"One piece was taken by the Roman Emperor and is now kept in the hands of the Pope, and My Son Jesus is also one of our members, and his disciples were very clever enough to draw drawings on the shroud to escape the Romans, but the shroud fell into the hands of the Freemasons, and their whereabouts were mysterious, and the other piece went to Persia with the Nestorians, and is now missing, and the other four pieces are very old and difficult to find clues, and their whereabouts are unknown."

Before he could finish his words, he struck me in the cheek with a hard hook, swallowing the following words and a mouthful of blood into his stomach, and His Majesty's guard of the Emperor appeared right among us, just in time to pull away the fist that I had fallen again.

"Please be aware of who you are, Lord Viscount! Although he is a prisoner, he is still a duke, and his background is far more noble than yours. "He was really deceived by us, and he taught me seriously.

"Very well, I don't think I want to see this old stubborn again, may God punish him, Amen!"

I pretended to be angry and walked away, leaving behind the embarrassed-looking guards and the old duke rubbing his painful face. To be honest, that punch just now was so cool!

I thought this as I felt the edge of the hard bronze medal in my pocket, which the old duke had stuffed into my arms while the two of them were fighting.

Back to His Majesty's tent, I was stopped by the guards outside and waited for a long time, I can imagine the guards who accompanied me throughout the whole process, at this moment they are reporting the situation they have seen inside, and he is loyal to me to clear His Majesty's suspicions.

"Your Majesty has called you in, Lord Viscount!"

One of the guards opened the curtain of the tent, and I nodded to him in a friendly manner, and then slipped into the brightly lit tent, which was so different from the place where the old duke was imprisoned that one could not help but slander these knights and nobles who claimed to be civilized and disrespected the old and the young.

"Your Majesty, you call me?"

Emperor Otto was sorting out his small wooden box, and without raising his head, he looked through a few documents on the table: "I heard that you and Duke Cresenti did it just now, because of what?" ”

Sure enough, when I was asked this, I grinned confidently and told the words that I had prepared a long time ago: "That damn old fellow actually insulted the kings of Germany and your wise majesty, and ordered me to marry his daughter, saying that this is a gift to me and a charity from God, so I couldn't help but beat him." ”

Emperor Otto put down the parchment scroll in his hand, stared at me with the murderous gaze of a falcon, swept my beating heart like a lie detector, and after a long time he said to me:

"It's a loss of nobility to do this, the Italians have always thought that we are barbarians from the forest, so we have to try to prove our civilization and nobility, fortunately no outsiders have seen this, but you have to remember that I can help you cover it up once does not mean connivance, I hope you will do it yourself."

After saying that, His Majesty threw a parchment roll in his hand into the brazier beside him, and the orange-red flame licked the edge of the paper roll greedily like life, blackened it from the middle, melted, and then gradually burned, and the bright light of the fire made His Majesty's cheeks crimson, as if he had just woken up, this young man was in the best period of his entire reign, and all the seemingly insurmountable difficulties were solved, and he would once again stand on the top of the gods in Rome and look down on the bustling people.

"What do you think about Miss Crescenty?"

His Majesty Otto asked abruptly as I was about to turn away, with a creepy murderous intent in his seemingly ordinary tone.

I took a long breath, trying to make my expression look natural, and deliberately replied in a lewd tone, "Of course I will follow the good wishes of the Duke and take good care of his beloved little daughter after a hundred years. ”

"Low-level fun!"
