Chapter 40: Reading and Writing

On the couch in the study on the second floor of Pembroke Manor, Anna, who was pampered enough, her black hair was scattered, "flowing" on her snow-white shoulders and collarbones, curled up between Gao Wen's broad and majestic arms, satisfied, her eyes were slightly open, and then her hand unconsciously and sleepily reached into the Saracen-style opening jar beside the couch, and pulled out a thin piece of sheep intestines, as well as the attached colored silk threads, and suddenly realized that when making the yellow artemisia ointment, the pagan physician had taken out the sheep intestine tube from the box, What is the original function?

So Anna bit the headband, sat up, raised her hands, tied the braid simply, and then rode in front of the tired Gawain, pulled the sheep's intestines, widened her eyes, first gestured, then put it on, and found that it was half a short section, "This should be for the Saracens themselves." Anna pondered, and then began to "tie the seal" with her fingers around the colored silk threads.

"Anna, you're crazy!" Gawain was so pained that he helped her up and pushed her away, but Anna smiled evilly and lifted the sheep intestine in her hand, squinting her eyes, "It turns out that this is the effect, this kind of thing can prevent the birth of children?" You must be very familiar with it, and you asked the doctor not to throw it in the milk, why? ”

"Because he misunderstood, soaking in milk can make the function more significant, and we were in a hurry to save Godhilde." Gawain was blunt.

"Then you mean that you used to use this a lot, with the female fox of Nakonama, or with the widow of Namesadini before? Or with some other woman. Anna's habit of getting to the bottom of things has resurfaced.

In the past two days, the two of them were in the study and dormitory, regardless of the weather time outside, not looking at the hourglass at all, and frantically "fighting" in various places and furniture. One is the "Maiden Boat" sailing with a shiny new sail deck, which is simply stormy, and it is not until just now that the two of them feel exhausted.

"These are the only two, but Orson wants to marry his daughter Hetomia to me." Gawain pulled the sheep intestine nonchalantly and threw it back into the jar.

"What Hertomia! If Orsen dares to do so, I will send out the Patria division to destroy him. Flattening the Lamprun Castle. Anna was furious, "Now that you and I are Orthodox Christians, how can such a blatantly unethical marriage exist." ”

"Alright, alright, we have been stopped by your sister Godhilde, and we have been delayed long enough, it is time to return to Adana City, to join other pilgrims and righteous brothers, and to march towards Antioch City." Gawain took Anna into his arms and coaxed.

"Do you want me to admit that you have the only relationship with the previous two? Marry them and make them your mistress at the same time? Gawain was silent in the face of Anna's question, no matter what, the "holy sister" Cabeamia is very cunning, and it is more than enough to protect herself in front of Anna, but the widow is simple-hearted, and everything has to be entrusted to Merlot and Chise.

Merlot is half of Gawain's "dark line". Before the previous battle for the title of Grand Duke, Gawain had already calculated. Anna would rely on the camper, so the two reached a tacit understanding in private, and always made Anna think that Merlot was on her side, "I must take good care of Ingrid until I return from the expedition to Antioch." Then make arrangements. ”

"I'm too lazy to care about you." Seeing that Gao Wen's brows were tightly locked, Anna became a little afraid to override and anger the big barbarian out of the previous lesson, so she said this half negatively and half coquettishly, and continued to forcibly snuggle in the other party's gentle arms. It's time to rest.

Gawain also quit the truce, one hand gave Anna a pillow, and the other only grabbed his back, just now he felt that there was something diaphragm there that was very uncomfortable, and he tore it down to see, sure enough, it was a single page of Ovid's "Book of Love", or a papyrus transcription, and then-Gawain's eyes couldn't help but widen in horror, the lines of ancient Latin tadpole text on it, he could actually read it fluently in his mind, and could understand the meaning!

"Wow", Gawain rubbed the manuscript page, his arms were trembling, Anna hummed twice in a half-dream, as if to ask why he didn't rest, Gawain hesitated twice, and said I'll go down to find something first, and after saying that, he tiptoed down to the accommodation, covered Anna, and walked to the ledge of the study over there.

He was surprised, even a little frightened, because he could read the scrolls of books on this ledge!

There is no reason why this difficult ancient Latin, let alone Italy, was only read by a few people like Anna in the court of the Roman Empire.

Gawain crouched in his seat, scratched his head, and thought in his head: there was only one way for him to gain the ability to read this ancient script, and that was to use the Sword of Phosphorus Fire to kill the person who possessed it; Even Emperor Alexios was shy away from this ancient script, and when he thought about it, most of the hundreds of people he killed were coarse except for the vulgar ones, and as far as he knew, there were only four people who controlled this kind of reading—Idorus, Brenus, the little sunfish Agnes, and Anna.

The first three are all alive and well, no, Anna is also alive and well now, she was not killed by him with a fire sword, and there is no reason to kill her! Thinking of this, Gawain also looked at Anna, who was lying on the couch, sleeping soundly, breathing evenly, her long black hair rising and falling with her little dove-like chest, no matter how she looked at it, her face belonged to a vibrant girl, not like a dead person.

Gawain stood up slowly, he stood on the curtain at the junction of the study and the bedroom by the window, glanced at Anna lying in the soft moonlight, quietly pulled her together, and put their hooks on them. Then, the flame of the candlestick in the study was even brighter, illuminating the surrounding scrolls, and Gawain put on his coat, sat down again, picked up the sword of phosphorus and fire, and inserted it into the iron ring of his belt, and after calming down, his blue eyes were fixed on the dim corner between the study and the side corridor, where there was no moonlight, and the candle flame could not shine, and the banana leaves fanned uneasily outside, making a rustling sound.

Why did you suddenly and inexplicably master the ability to read? No, not only that, but Gawain then took out the reed pen resting in the middle of it from the wooden recess beside the reading table, and on the parchment, the tip of the pen shook slightly, and then wrote the standard Latin rhyme.

He will also write.

At this time, a gust of wind came in the side corridor, and the candle flame lay down miserably to dodge, swaying, Gawain raised his eyes, and his voice was low, "Ah Jiehe, you are recovering well." (To be continued.) )
