Gawain hurriedly and politely knelt down, imitated the prevailing knightly etiquette and the popular requirements of the world, took the noble lady's jade hand, and then touched her fingers, but only politely did not dare to kiss it, and then respectfully took the famous thorn, and carefully put it into the close-fitting clothes. He didn't know whether the encounter with Eudosia would be a blessing and an opportunity for him, or a disaster and a bump, but in any case, he remembered the prophecy of Azjeh - since Peter was the key to Constantinople, then he could have regarded Eudosia as the key to the "Wall of Constantine" at the right time, because Eudosia had not also been a foreign barbarian in the eyes of the Byzantines. Now, by virtue of her wisdom and beauty, she has become a hot lady, and in this world, the flame of adventure and glory is spreading across the wild land unknown to man and Christ, and there is nothing impossible for him to be king.

In this way, it can also counteract the distorted changes made by Jiehe's behavior in her own world, "I'm saving the past and the future!" Gao Wen, who walked out of the noble lady's fragrant boudoir, looked at the stars hanging low, and his heart swelled with atmosphere.

Two days later, the feast ceremony was boring, and Gawain, as a bystander, stood in the corridor of the apartment, watching as Eudasia, dressed in a plain turban, with the imams, the clergy, and a group of nobles, around the dark grill in the middle of the courtyard, which had been roasted to the point of oil, in the mouth of Eudosiah, in a circle, holding enamel crosses and gold-trimmed icons, singing hymns, and then enjoying the sacrament, and of course the nobles had to give generously afterwards, Donate large sums of money or title deeds to St. John's Cathedral.

Gawain guessed that St. John's Cathedral was a rich country, and in private Peter would tell him in a dissatisfied tone that the monks and monks of the Byzantine Roman Empire were not interested in the recovery of the pagan lands, because they were too wealthy, such as St. John's Cathedral, where the Emperor and the Queen Mother received a gift of thirty to fifty pounds of gold every year when the Emperor and the Queen Mother came to the ceremony, and the rest of the nobles donated countless times, and the clergy were almost all supported by the state. They only carry out spiritual and intellectual refinement, and are keen to carry out polemical attacks on other sects, but they are too lazy to care about the distant Minor, to the distant holy city, and to the poor believers who live under the misery of the infidels, and they do not bother to lend a helping hand at all.

"Is it really up to the fanatical Western monks and the vulgar knights to really shoulder this kind of duty, which is why people usually say that fools can do great things?" Gawain thought to himself.

A few days later, before the gates of St. John's Church, Eudasia and Imam Idorus walked side by side, and then the former stepped on his shoulder, while the latter rode on a richly decorated donkey, with monks and servants carrying rods and banners in front of them, and Gawain rode on a black mare still wearing the jacket left by the Turkic slave soldier (he was already feeling hot this weather); Peter rode on a donkey, hung a box, and held a staff of dates; The captor Theognes rode a motley horse, still hanging a miscellaneous miscellaneous item - this team was led by Eudosia, because she was a court lady and canonized by the emperor, and under her and Idorus's joint recommendation, yesterday the gateway officer in the imperial court sent a token, the Byzantine emperor Alexios. Komnenos finally took half a day out of his busy schedule to meet with the hermit Peter, and arranged a doctrinal debate between Patriarch Masdath and Idorus, in short, two wheat harvests.

The meeting place is the royal palace where the entire Byzantine royal family is now located, the Brachna Palace.

Surprisingly, this palace is not located in what Diognes called the "Pyramid of Order", that is, the seafront apex of the triangle of Constantinople, that is, the location of the perimeter of the Grand Palace, but Alexios, who was tired of the traditional rituals inherited from ancient Rome, built a new palace on the high hill at the northwest end of the city, along the inner side of the city walls, which is said to have recently arisen in the world of the Frankish knights, representing the emperor's eager attention and acceptance of new things. It was also hoped that the image of the old empire of Byzantine Rome would be renovated.

The procession, along the bustling walls of Constantine, with its tall stone aqueducts and cisterns, crossed over Gawain's head, and many children stood on them, croaking curiously, pointing to the guests who had come from afar, and to Gawain's great surprise - he had seen the white mosque in the neighborhood, and a large number of Crescentists worshipping here, "This is not unusual, my emperor and the people have long been brothers with the Saracens, and now the enemy is the fierce Turks, Out of the compassion of the sun, our emperor still allowed the existence of pagan temples in the city, and allowed pagan monks and scholars to come to study and worship. The captor replied nonchalantly after hearing Gawain's doubts.

The road to Brachna Palace was a long way, because the hill in front of the palace was full of monasteries, and it was the "holy place" where the emperor decreed that it should not be crossed casually, so at the suggestion of Yudosiah, they first crossed the whole city, went out from the St. Sedosia Gate on the edge of the Golden Horn, and then followed the bustling waterfront towards the Cormenens Gate facing northwest of the Brachna Palace.

On the sands and on the land, the seashore has gone beyond the confines of the city walls, and has built on them many fishing villages, docks, taverns, bazaars, and neighborhoods, and the prosperity of this place almost exceeds that of the city, "Look, Brother Gawain, it is the famous Great Chain!" Peter pointed and Gawain looked back, and at the distant entrance to the sea, two towers were stretched with black chains like pythons, and there was a constant flame burning on the towers, and inside was the Golden Horn, which was constantly extended, and on the right side of the road they were taking, there were actually two huge sluices, which connected the city ditch to the river, and ships with sails of various colors could easily sail into the storehouses in the city along the sluices.

On the land on the other side of the Golden Horn, there are also many ramparted docks, chimneys, many small grasshopper-like boats shuttling between them, and people of all kinds of clothes on the shore are boiling, "It is the Venetian commercial port, their number has increased in recent years, and it is said that there are 10,000 people there." The catcher said.

It was noon until noon, when the Brachna Palace finally arrived, and Gawain looked up, but saw that among the walls and mountains that had come in spring, the undulating palaces, churches, and fortresses formed a huge complex of buildings, which were displayed in front of his eyes, "I am about to enter His Majesty's imperial court, and the rank needs to be paid attention to by 120,000 points!" Yudohiah sent his servants and reminded the people behind him.
