Chapter 54: Serra's Identity
"You want to learn my language? However, the language of each tribe on our continent is different, and I can only teach you the language of our tribe and some surrounding countries, do you really want to learn? After Serra emphasized a few times, she saw that Murong Tao's eyes were extremely firm, so she relaxed her guard, "But I'll say something ugly first, if you learn our language and want to do something bad, I won't let you go!" ”
"If I wanted to plot against you, I wouldn't have waited until now. "www.biquge.info Murong Tao's answer, Sierra also felt very reasonable, just Murong Tao's strange skills, the six guards around her all thought that they were insufficient, if this person wanted to make a move on her, even if he took the imam's side, he couldn't stop it, this was what Popoca mentioned in private.
Serra sighed, she knew that Murong Tao had no motive to deceive her, and besides, it was someone who saved her and her clan in the first place, at least there should be at least trust.
"Before you want to learn our language with me, I want to tell you who we are, my country is called the Abyssinian Empire, in the east of the African continent, east of the Arabian Peninsula, after the invasion of the African continent by the Arab Empire, ****** religion continues to corrupt the African continent, and our Abyssinian Empire is the only country that professes Christianity." "Because of this situation, the surrounding ****** countries are eyeing our Abyssinian Empire, and one day the Portuguese have a serious disagreement with us, the Portuguese are Catholic, and they want us to be converted to God, but we refuse and expel the Portuguese from our territory. As a result, the Portuguese began to plot this incident with other countries. Eventually, the Abyssinian Empire fell apart, becoming a number of independent and non-independent states. ”
It's all religion's fault!
"I heard that you come from the mysterious East, where you are Christian?" Without waiting for Murong Tao to digest this history, Serra began to ask her everything she wanted to know, "The people over there are just like you, with yellow skin, black hair and black eyes?" That's a bit similar to us in that alone. ”
"I don't know what religion is practiced over there now, but I know that the mainstream there is Taoism, and as for whether the Christianity you are talking about has been introduced, I really don't know very well." Murong Tao relied on his memory to say that the monarchs of the Ming Dynasty all believed in Taoism, and Zhu Changluo of the Ming Guangzong was said to have taken the pills refined by Taoist priests and hung up after being ill and going to the doctor.
"Dao?" Sierra was a little dazed, and in her narrow memory, seemed to be very unfamiliar with the religion.
"It's normal that you haven't heard of it, so have you heard of Mahisung Buddhism in India?" Murong Tao threw out another difficult question, and Serra still shook her head, obviously her knowledge of that side was almost zero, and she was still in the state of hearsay such as "supposedly" and "heard".
"If we have the chance, we can go there and see it, but I don't know if you are willing to go on an adventure with me at that time!" Murong Tao didn't know why he suddenly said such a sentence inexplicably, which made Serra's face flush, Murong Tao knew that she must be thinking crookedly, and she was not busy explaining, just eating the food in the bowl, and said, "Although your Abyssinian Empire is divided, I guess the purpose of your rush back is to revive the Abyssinian Empire, right?" ”
"No, my father and the rest of the royal family were killed by the rebels, and I just want to go back and get revenge." Tears glistened in Serra's eyes, "Do you understand the pain of having both of your family killed? ”
"I really can't understand it, I was an orphan since I was a child, and I grew up with my master." Murong Tao shook his head, he didn't know much about the words "parents" and "brothers and sisters".
"I'm sorry." Serra knew that her words might have hurt Murong Tao, so she hurriedly apologized.
"Don't worry, I've long been indifferent to this kind of thing." Murong Tao waved his hand and said, "It's actually not bad to be carefree alone!" Are you sure you want to go back for revenge just because of a few of you? ”
Serra pondered, not answering, she wasn't stupid, but smart. How could she not know that this kind of revenge that is almost an egg hitting a stone is self-defeating, but she just can't swallow this breath, especially since she was sent to the Portuguese factory by those rebels, and then sent to the continent of Europa through a slave ship, if she hadn't met Murong Tao, her fate might have been to become a toy for those psychopathic aristocrats.
"You don't need to answer this question right away, you have a lot of time to rethink now, revenge is naturally quick revenge, but first of all, you must have the strength to match, if you just want to rely on those African slaves who were trafficked here to help you regain your country, I advise you to give up this idea." Murong Tao said as he stuffed the food in front of him into his mouth, got up and retreated.
The imam over there found that Murong Tao had a solemn face when he left, and hurriedly asked Serra why, Serra didn't explain too much, just a few perfunctory words, and the imam didn't ask deeply, with a mysterious smile on his face, he shook his head, probably thinking that the emotions between these young people were not taken seriously.
On the other hand, Bopoka had been led by a few old sailors towards the deck, along with a few other interested people.
Coming out of the cabin, Murong Tao, who originally wanted to blow the sea breeze, saw two people, one tall and one short, standing at the stern of the boat, who else was there besides Louis and Ulysses?
"Have you two had dinner or are you going to go back to dinner after the wind blows?" Murong Tao approached and asked.
"Wooden Dragon, you're here." Louis still couldn't read Murong Tao's name accurately, but Ulysses heard it a little big, what was the wooden dragon that Louis just said? But it looks like it should be called Mr. Rudy, and Mr. Rudy is actually called Wood Dragon? Dragons made of wood? What a strange name.
"I've been thinking all night about what you said to me that afternoon, and I think it makes sense, Nicholas is my own brother, just like Gaston, it's an indisputable fact!" Louis turned around and looked at Murong Tao, "I accept your proposal, I do have too many concerns about Nicholas, and I should have given my own brother completely, instead of listening to other people's rumors." When I returned, I would visit Nicholas in his bedroom. ”
Ulysses didn't expect that the two of them would be alone together in the afternoon, and they were actually talking about the sick Nicholas Henry, who was about to die at any time. But why would His Majesty talk to someone he didn't know well about that brother, whom he would not normally mention?
"Sometimes, it's better to be natural, but it's not beautiful to be deliberate." Murong Tao nodded and added.
Louis agreed, and he turned again, facing the foul sea breeze blowing, and opened his arms as if trying to grasp something.
"What do you think we should do first?" Louis turned his back to Murong Tao and asked, "You know I'm not talking about Nicholas, nor is it this three-month commission. ”
"You mean a surprise attack on Guernsey?" Murong Tao blurted out, but Ulysses, who was standing on the side, was startled and attacked Guernsey? Will the Royal Navy of the Brits sit idly by? Did you know that the British Royal Navy had just taken on the Spanish Armada not long ago? What do you think is a powerful navy in France that can stand up to such an unbeatable army? Even if you win, so what? Besides, Richelieu has been in charge of the government for many years, not to mention that you are a king, it is impossible to command a navy.
"Yes, Guernsey is a fish in my throat, and I will banish all the British from Guernsey in my lifetime!" Louis clenched his fists and swung out hard.
"But do you have a good fleet commander in your hands now? Do you have a way to convince Prime Minister Richelieu to let you send troops to Guernsey? I think Richelieu will overthrow you directly, and raise up another, more obedient king, which is more valuable than taking the human and financial resources to rob Guernsey. Murong Tao's outspokenness made Ulysses touch the musket on his waist several times, and he dared to say such a rebellious word, really no one dared to take your life, right?
However, Luis was silent, Ulysses could only make a gesture, he didn't dare to shoot Murong Tao on the spot without taking the liberty of reluctance, of course he thought he was not Murong Tao's opponent, I was afraid that if he showed a little hostility, the other party would be prepared.
"That's why I'm trying to find you, and I believe that with your ability, Guernsey will be fine." Louis still had his back to Murong Tao.
"To be honest, it's really not hard to take out some Brits, but even if I'm lucky enough to kill all the British soldiers in Guernsey, do you have troops to protect Guernsey, which is hard-won?" Murong Tao asked a very serious question, in fact, without Louis answering, Murong Tao can directly say the answer, no, it is impossible at all, so can he say that he is ashamed, and he still has to send someone to garrison Guernsey?
"This is indeed a very embarrassing situation, I would like you to protect Guernsey, but I know that with your current strength, let alone Guernsey, St. Peter's Port alone may not be able to defend it." Louis sighed and said, "So, I plan to train you well until you have the ability one day, and fulfill this greatest wish for me." ”
Murong Tao didn't speak, facing Louis, he thought of the later Louis XIV, the second-year young man who called himself the Sun King, who tried to conquer the world, and his father just wanted to conquer an archipelago, and his ambition was not a little stronger.
