It was already noon after arranging the accommodation of Elise and her group, and when Caroline returned to her room, she sat behind her desk and stood up with her head on her hands. www.biquge.info Although Herman had promised that there would be no problems with the divine judgment in two weeks' time, the news brought by Otto and Elise today still made Carolan deeply uneasy.

Carolan found that she could not sit back and relax under Herman's protection, there were too many things in this world that could not be controlled, even the king of the strongest country in Europe: Tsar Simon of the Bulgarian Empire, could only lie on the bed in his palace and wait quietly for death to come. The overlord of Constantinople three times, the former hostage who crowned the Bulgarians and the Romans with the titles of emperors on his head, is now at the end of his life. This is the news that Carolan got from Elise's regretful tone when she was chatting with Elise in the process of arranging accommodation for Elise just now.

One might think that the death of the emperor of the Bulgarian Empire, far away in the southern Balkans, had any effect on Carolan and made him feel so in crisis now. In fact, history is always like this, a seemingly small thing inadvertently changes the direction of the world under the wings of a butterfly; It's like Alexander, who died suddenly on the way home, like a rat with the flu virus on the Spanish galleon on his way to the Americas...

In fact, in the past two decades, the Magyars have not invaded Western Europe on the same scale as their predecessors. It may have been that the large number of forts built by Henry the Bird Catcher on the frontier was intimidating, and the rise of the Bulgarian kingdom forced the Magyars, who also lived in the Hungarian steppes, to concentrate most of their energy on dealing with the aggressive attacks of Simon the Great, so the East Franks gained valuable time to recuperate.

However, now that Simon is dying, countless pairs of eyes on the continent are watching closely when the last spark of this king's life will be extinguished, and what will happen to the empire that he has single-handedly brought to the top. The lords of Constantinople have recovered under the protection of the walls of Theosido, and the gods of war of Macedonia have been born, and they are thirsting for revenge on the Bulgarians!

As long as the Bulgarians show a little bit of decline, then the other peoples will never mind sending the Bulgarians on their last journey.

Unfortunately, as far as Caroline knew, Simon's son was mediocre compared to his brilliant father. The Bulgarian butchers of Neo-Byzantium had sharpened their knives against pigs and sheep, and the Bulgarian Empire would decline at an alarming rate under the enemy's north-south attack, and eventually perish. Therefore, the Magyars are about to regain the hegemony of the Hungarian steppe, and the Magyars, who have lost their restraint, are about to set off a new round of invasion storm!

What Caroline could see, the bird-catcher who lurked in the palace and carefully observed everything and planned everything, could also think of it. Therefore, it is understandable that Otto is a bit eager to send Otto to inquire about the Klose family's preparation for the divine judgment today, after all, if the Klose family is defeated in a month, it will be a great blow to the prestige of the royal family, which is completely unacceptable to Henry in this fleeting time.

"Let Robert come to me!" Caroline was very irritable, and he was not able to talk about his current state. Now the feeling of knowing where the world is going, but not having enough strength to interfere is really terrible. The irritable Caroline finally managed to calm down a little, determined to seize every minute to consolidate her strength.

"Master Caroline, Lord Robert rushed to Iris in the morning to supervise the construction of the new manor, and those slaves will not work well without supervision." Lisa, who heard the bell ringing at the door, hurried in, and Lisa, who knew that Caroline was superior to herself, saw at a glance that her young master was very manic now, and hurriedly explained to Robert that Lisa was a good girl.

"Then let Vincent come in and see me!" When Carolan decided to expand the size of the guard, Vincent was assigned by Carolan to be the vice-captain of the guard, responsible for assisting with everything when Robert was not energetic, but from the current point of view, Robert had no clue about the formation of the guard, and this aspect of the work has been completely dominated by Vincent.

"Okay young master, I'll go find Vincent right away. I suggest you drink a little water, it will make you feel better. Lisa hurriedly replied, and then looked a little depressed and cautiously gave Caroline a little advice.

“。。。。。。。。。。。。 I got it, go ahead. I'm fine. It seems that the emotional control is still not enough, even Lisa can see that she is uneasy, Caroline shook her head, sat down in her chair and closed her eyes to try to calm down.

"Master Carolan, are you looking for me?" A short time later, the blonde Norse man under Carolan's command walked into the room and saluted Carolan.

Caroline opened her eyes, and her attention was instantly drawn to Vincent's blonde hair like Elise. He suddenly remembered that his subordinate was somewhat of Elise's relative, and that his ancestors had joined forces with Elise's ancestors to invade England and put the king of Northumberland to the death of the Blood Eagle.

“。。。 Do you still have contact with your people? Caroline was curious, and wanted to see if she could learn anything about Elise through Vincent.

“。 Still.. And also.. But I... Vincent didn't expect Caroline to suddenly ask, although he didn't have any betrayal or thoughts, but Vincent, who knew the pirate virtues of his people, instantly felt a sense of my life when he heard Caroline ask.

"Don't be nervous, I just want to know what you guys over there think of Elise." Seeing Vincent's sudden stammering tone, Caroline knew what Vincent was nervous about with a little use of her brain, and it was indeed not a good thing to have a group of relatives who would not let you worry.

“。。。 It scared me to death, I thought they were poor and crazy again. Vincent wiped a cold sweat and took a long breath before continuing. Elise, what do you say? She was very capable, and the more enlightened people in northern Jutland supported her. But other than that, the other tribes don't like her very much, because she is too strong, and her gender makes many of the more stubborn people not really want her to take her father's place, but fortunately she has a good fiancé, and the rule of the two kings is an acceptable result. ”

"Harald? Isn't it powerful? Caroline felt as if she could take the opportunity to learn about the roots of this sworn enemy.

"Well, if a strong father is also his own strength, he is indeed very powerful." Vincent joked that he was clearly the kind of person who supported Elise.

"Well, I'm here to ask you something. How much does it cost to hire someone in Memleben who can teach the warriors you've recruited to read? Carolan realized that she couldn't ask any more questions, so she got down to business.

"It's not expensive, because there are so many little nobles who don't have land but have received a very good education, and it is not at all a problem to invite them to teach in your capacity. Are you sure you want to make those fighters literate, though? This may cause them to resist and feel that you are insulting them. Many of them were born into aristocratic families and knew some basic writing. Vincent replied, though he was a little distracted when it came to the fact that his warriors had a written foundation.

“。。。。。。。。。 I knew their level well and told them that every three months I would take a literacy test, and if I passed, my salary would be doubled in the next three months. If I pass all the assessments, I will reward them with iris when I retire" Caroline didn't bother to say anything more now, and directly threw out the temptation, he believed that no one in this era could resist the temptation he just said.

“！！！！！！” Vincent's expression already illustrated the effect of everything that Carolan had just said.

"Your will!" Vincent reacted and immediately responded, glory land, money, the three most important things in life, Caroline had promised all of them just now, and if he hesitated, Vincent himself would not forgive himself.

"Go ahead and do you know where my father's guard trained?" Caroline waved his hand and sent Vincent down, and then, as if remembering something, asked Vincent about the location of the Klose family's ultimate force.

"I don't know this very well, you know, Lord Earl's guard has always been the focus of the kingdom's training, almost every one of them is a knight of Lord Earl's edict, and they usually don't live with us, and they don't talk to us much." When it came to Herman's guards, Vincent looked envious.

"Well, if you complete the literacy test, you'll be a knight too." Carolan drew a large pie for Vincent, and then stood up after watching him leave the room happily, he decided to go to Rudolph to inquire, he was still a little worried about the decision, he wanted to see if he could do anything to make the Klose family win the duel easily.

Simon is dying, a new era has arrived, and in this day and age, the only way if you don't want to be eliminated is to stay strong and plunder others!
