"Is it already here?" The man put down the telegram in his hand and muttered to himself. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Not long ago, Poland received a telegram that by this time the train on which Consda Dante was traveling had arrived on its way.

"Are you sure that Constance Dante is really coming?" There was still some disbelief on the man's face that, as the ruler of Novgorod, he had renounced his authority and come to Warsaw, which was hostile to him. It sounds like a fool's doing.

"That's true, Secretary Stein. This is true of what the Novgorod one tells us. Behind the man, an apostle-looking man in a dark black burqa said.

Stein shook his head slightly: "Even so, these Poles can't believe it. Everyone knows the means of killing people with a knife. Of course, the Holy See does not care at all about the threat posed by one Novgorod. But even so, our Inquisition is not a way for people to be used as knives casually. ”

"But Stein, even so. If that Constène Dante is really a remnant of the new Roman Empire, we must follow the instructions of the Holy See. The man in the black robe made a hoarse voice.

"I know, but the Poles aren't a good thing." Stein said coldly. Originally, the main area of activity of their Inquisition was in southern France, Spain, and the East. This time, however, they came to the far north, the border of the western world. You know, the Poles don't listen to the Holy See so much, it's too far away after all.

"Knock knock" Just then there was a knock at the door.

"Come in." Stein, who had a bad face, said.

The door opened, and out came a man who looked like a Polish official. The two sides looked at each other without speaking, and they knew each other's intentions, which is why their cooperation itself was ironic.

You know, since Poland was at odds with the Holy Roman Empire and united with the pagan Lithuania, it had offended the Holy See, and the Teutonic Knights had made relations even more strained. Not long ago, the Poles had routed the remnants of the Teutonic Knights at Tannenberg, and the forces of the Teutonic faction had been almost wiped out. Vincent, the successor of the Order, declared his allegiance from the Holy See and the Holy Roman Empire, and became a vassal of Poland. The rise of Rus' power had already made the Holy See fearful, and the Poles' aggressive expansion was all the more alarming. The Holy Roman Empire, in particular, was more wary of cooperation, but in fact more wary, the Emperor had only been on the throne for less than four years, and the power of the state was intricate and unfolding, and in a word, the strength of the Poles did not reassure the Holy Church, but on the contrary caused greater centrifugal forces.

"Hello, Secretary Stein." The Pole bowed his head and said, "Thank you to the Holy Church for allowing you to assist us. ”

"Not to assist you, Korosław! It is only the task of the Holy See - to destroy the remnants of Constantinople. But before that, I want to ask. Is your information infallible? Glancing at the Pole in front of him, Stein said unceremoniously.

"I'm just a man sent by Marshal Mauser, and I don't know the general thing. But the Novgorod Grand Duke was indeed a Herodian. And the people of Novgorod called him the "Knight King", nothing more. Korosław replied calmly.

However, as soon as the word [Knight King] was spoken, the pupils of the originally calm man suddenly dilated, and Stein's eyes shone with a terrifying light.

Sure enough, Korosław inadvertently showed a hint of a smile, no wonder Marshal Mauser said so. As soon as the [Knight King] mentioned that these people in the Holy See were really nervous, in this case, these Inquisitors would definitely not give up. This is what Mauser said about those who dealt with Constance Dante. If Cons-Dante had died at the hands of the Inquisition, Poland, as a bystander, would not have been affected in any way.

However, the consternation on Stein's face was only a fleeting moment.

The man then sneered.

"[Knight King]?! It's a big breath. A little Novgorod. ”

Despite Stein's words, Krosław could see the fear in his eyes. "That's true, after all, the only one who is really called the Knight King is the one in Constantinople. However, after the fall of the New Roman Empire, he was also nowhere to be found. Otherwise, it's a terrifying existence. ”

"What are the people who have disappeared into the smoke and dust of history, and what are they afraid of? Since even the existence of the new Roman Empire has collapsed. What's more, a knight king, no matter how powerful he is, is just one person after all. Stein's face was full of mockery.

"That's true." Korosław smiled as if complimenting. "Since [true? Knight King] is all such a result, not to mention [fake? What about the Knight King? ”

"That's natural, since he wants to become the [Knight King], then let him be buried with this ridiculous title with the new Roman Empire, which has long been destroyed!" There was a coldness in his words, and Stein did not hide his murderous intent in the slightest.

"It was a great pleasure, and I think that soon the Grand Duke of Novgorod will arrive in Warsaw. I'm sure you'll be able to get off to a successful start. ”

The more the other party did this, the more disgusted Stein became, as if these Poles were sure that the Holy See would not sit idly by, and this alone made the Inquisition very unhappy.

"Hmph." I only heard the man sneer, "Then wait for that kid to come, and don't make noise now." ”

"Yes, Your Excellency!" The man was not ashamed, but Korosław smiled and retreated.

"Chief, we ......" watched the other party leave, and the other Inquisition enforcers seemed to stop talking.

"Don't worry, if that's the case, I will never let him leave Warsaw alive." There was a coldness in Stein's voice, which made people shudder.

……

At this time in Warsaw, there seemed to be some tense atmosphere hanging over the city.

Due to the arrival of Constance Dante, martial law was declared throughout the city, and the common people had to stop their daily lives. Although it is inevitable that there will be complaints, the nobles will naturally not take it to heart.

“…… What kind of world is this, a little Duke of Novgorod has to go to great lengths to come here. The Polish man in charge of the patrol said helplessly. He was a native aristocrat, and he was naturally very unhappy to see this scene, and the prosperous Warsaw was now so depressed.

"What shall we do now, sir?" The attendant beside him asked cautiously.

"What else can I do? I'll be to the station in a moment, and in two hours the Novgorod brutes will be coming. It's not about to be greeted yet! The man said with a mocking face, not angry at his subordinates, but expressing his displeasure with the nobles. Why, his identity and status can't be intertwined at all.

"Yes!"

This man's name was Vashikiewicz, and as a minor nobleman, his family had long since declined, and because of this, he could only be a small city sheriff, and only one of them.

It's a shame to think about it, the local nobles have grown in strength in recent years, and the interests of these Warsaw nobles have naturally been damaged, while the great princes are still as stable as Mount Tai, and people like Xiang Washi Kewicz can only dare to be angry but dare not speak.

Especially to the Grand Duke of Novgorod named Constantine, the Warsaw nobles were very opposed, and they simply could not allow the infidels to set foot on their own territory, let alone greet them with such grandeur. It's humiliating!

But since the establishment of the kingdom, everyone had to face the problem of federal division, and the extremely disgruntled Warsaw faction has been suppressed.

……

At the same time, the railway station in Warsaw's northern district, unlike the deserted appearance of the city, was crowded with people, posed by the Polish "populace" in advance, waiting with welcoming flags and slogans. And the nobles with heads and faces also gathered, and they were even more excited than the nobles of Novgorod.

"Did you hear that? In addition to the princess, the Grand Duke known as the Knight King is also coming! "The nobles and men who came naturally stood aside with their duty to show their true qualities as gentlemen, and even if there was anything, they were just discussed in a low voice, but once those noble ladies were close together, it would not be solved in a sentence or two. Soon, the women, who were traveling with their husbands, began to gossip. It is clear that someone has already begun to loot Novgorod for information.

For most people, Ross was still a distant country, and immediately everyone felt fresh and came together.

First of all is the protagonist of this time, the Grand Duke of Novgorod, Constantine Dante.

"It's called Cons Dante, right? That is said to have destroyed the existence of the Teutonic Knights! I saw a noble lady say with her eyebrows fluttering.

Although the Teutonic Knights were now largely subservient, even they knew that Poland would not have been able to defeat the Teutonic Knights without the Battle of Lake Chud.

On the one hand, some people are fascinated by the knight king's achievements, and on the other hand, some people are pouring cold water.

"What a knight king! It's just a tiger skin as a banner. A mean-spoken woman said unceremoniously, "There has never been only one Knight King, and you think that with the vision of those barbarians of the Rus, you can say that whoever is the Knight King is the Knight King!" Besides, it was Archduke Alexander who commanded the Battle of the Ice Lake and what did that kid have to do with it. ”

"Look at what you said...... "Originally, the knight king was just an after-dinner conversation, but he didn't expect the other party to be so serious, and the noble lady mentioned at the beginning couldn't hold his face.

The knight king is a taboo in Western countries, but not in Poland, but these women have never cared about this, and their topic quickly became ambiguous.

"Hey, did you hear that? That Grand Duke is the godfather of our princess. It is said that Her Royal Highness has given him custody of the princess. A woman said suddenly.

"Oh? Is it! Oh my God! "Although the upper echelons know a lot about this matter, most of these noble ladies only know about it today. For a moment, everyone's interest was hoisted.

"Quick, tell us what's going on?!"

The women were talking a lot, wanting to know the inside story of this matter.

And the lady who said this pretended to be mysterious: "You know what? This was the case of Queen Adewida who had gone to Novgorod three years ago, and in addition to the negotiation of the alliance, the most important thing was to treat Princess Bonifazia, and it is said that at that time she met the Grand Duke of Cons, Dante, who had nowhere to go. Soon after, Consitor Dante was recommended by His Majesty Jadwiga to Novgorod to participate in the Battle of Lake Chud, and later became the Duke of Novgorod for life. As for Her Royal Highness the Princess, don't entrust the Queen before leaving. Do you see this-"

"It's bizarre. It's like a chivalric novel! A noble lady exclaimed. It's amazing, it's unbelievable, it's true.

"Yes, bizarre is bizarre here!" And at this moment, the noble lady who had spoken coldly before spoke, and everyone couldn't help but look over. This lady has always been very well-informed.

"Lady Normanin, you know?"

"It's just hearsay." The woman known as "Lady Normanin" spoke slowly, holding a fan in her hand and saying, "Think about it, the battle of Chudhu, the commander was obviously Archduke Alexander, even if there is no so-called knight king, the Rus can still win. But why was his place replaced by Constance Dante, Alexander was at least a Rus' by comparison, and that man was a Herodian. Why did Novgorod do this. ”

"I wish to hear the details......" I could hear the goddesses, and they couldn't help but lower their voices and wanted to listen to what was going on.

"Naturally, it's Her Royal Highness. Think about it, if it weren't for the queen's intervention, how could Novgorod have succumbed? The woman said meaningfully, "It's just that the only thing that makes people wonder is why a little person is actually valued by the queen, and even entrusts Her Royal Highness the princess to take care of her." ”

The last sentence was the purpose of this woman, and as soon as this statement came out, many noble ladies had a clear expression on their faces. Even if they have a lover outside behind their husbands' backs, it is not surprising that the queen also has them, let alone the duke of a principality.

And at this moment, the rumbling sound of a train came from not far away, and a dark shadow appeared in the field of vision, it was a train.

The train carrying the Novgorodians finally arrived.

The nobles who saw this scene also stopped their original discussion, and stood by the station with solemn and solemn faces.

The whistle sounded from far and near, and the Poles watched as the slow train approached from afar with a thick white steam, slowed down into the station, and slowly stopped at the edge of the platform. The Poles, who were on guard, immediately went up and lined up neatly, clenching their weapons, and the doors were slowly opened as soon as the train came to a standstill.

What came out was an inconspicuous young man, his clothes were not conspicuous, just an ordinary appearance, but his gaze was very sharp, and he glanced down, and the young man jumped down first.

Could this be the Grand Duke of Novgorod, Cons Dante? This body is too shabby! Everyone looked at them strangely and said in their hearts. (To be continued.) )
