Constance Dante directly rejected Yadwiga and walked out of the room, for him the title of Grand Duke of Novgorod was just a stumbling block, all Cons Dante wanted to do was to recover from his injuries and leave here to return to Constantinople to pick up the person he wanted to pick up.

Consité Dante walked briskly to the room where the Novgorod envoy was received.

And the messenger sent by Novgorod had been waiting for him for a long time, and unexpectedly, the person standing there was none other than Grand Imam Isdel.

"Gui'an, His Royal Highness the Knight King!" Grand Imam Isdell whispered, it was only the two of them here, and he could finally call Consdé Dante that.

"I haven't seen you for ten years, and if it weren't for seeing Your Highness driving a mecha, I would almost not recognize it." Although the two had doubts when they first met, Grand Imam Isdell had already been suspicious, but after all, they hadn't seen each other for ten years, and at that time, only a few people knew the identity of the former Knight King, and at that time, Constance Dante was just an immature teenager, and at this time he had grown up.

"Should I call you His Highness Justin at this time?"

The memory of ten years ago is already very vague, but Cons Dante can naturally remember this old man, after all, the status of the Grand Imam of Constantinople is second only to the emperor, I didn't expect the catastrophe ten years ago, he actually escaped here, of course, this is normal, the day before the fall of Constantinople, there were already many nobles who got the news and fled to Nicaea.

"No, Your Excellency, this is all from the past, and my name is Constance Dante now." Consdante said in a deep voice, although he didn't understand why Archimam Isdel would act as a lobbyist for Novgorod, but he didn't want to have anything to do with the new Roman Empire, wasn't the peace of life in Findel broken by those people?

"Yes, I have come not only on behalf of Novgorod but also on my own behalf to ask you to accept the title of Grand Duke, and I will grant you the title of Duke for life in the name of the Grand Imam of the Orthodox Church, with the same title as a crown." Grand Imam Isdell made such a startling proposal. You know, since the baptism of Rus, the status of the Orthodox Church in Rus' is unshakable, and the honor of being awarded the title by the Grand Imam of the Orthodox Church is the same as the crown of the kings of the Western countries by the Pope, which is the dream of the Rus' nobles, because it is equivalent to the support of theocracy, and Cons-Dante as the Grand Duke will be a lifelong honor that no one can change.

However, Constance Dante was not interested in the slightest, Novgorod just wanted to use himself, but Constance Dante was not so stupid, and before Alexander left, he transferred the ownership of the land of the village and the village of Ekarina to him. There is nothing left to threaten Constance Dante.

"No, I'm not interested in these things, and if you can, you can tell them directly. I will not accept their invitations. Constance Dante directly chose to refuse coldly.

But Grand Imam Isdell's face sank, "If you're a Knight King, you shouldn't refuse!" Don't forget, you're a citizen of the New Roman Empire! Don't forget the sins you have committed! ”

But when Constance Dante heard the words of Grand Imam Isdel, his face changed and he sneered: "Really? Then why did you magnates abandon Constantinople in the face of danger, either in Nicaea or hiding from the Holy See? I did have my sins, but I fought until the last moment, and I didn't run away. Although the memory of that night was somehow blurry, Cons Dante was convinced that he had not abandoned his duty. Those who claimed to be descendants of the new Rome fled that night to Asia Minor and took refuge with their master.

"Don't you really want to rely on the power of the Rus?" At this moment, Grand Imam Isdell said.

"The power of the Rus'? Novgorod is just trying to take advantage of me, you and I both know that Novgorod is suffering from a lot of damage and the situation around me is not improving, and at this time the election of me as their Grand Duke is nothing more than an extra shield. In fact, the real winners of the Battle of Chudlake were the other Rus' principalities, and Novgorod had nothing but fame, and now the original allies rushed to get Novgorod to fulfill Alexander's promise to open up mecha technology.

However, in the past few years, Alexander has taken over the research of Swentwitt, and they can't get involved at all, and Alexander took a lot of research materials with him when he left, which is even worse, even if Novgorod makes all the technology public, it can't meet the requirements of the other principalities, and now they can only count on Constité Dante.

"No, Your Highness the Knight King, if Novgorod survives this time, we will fully support you in retaking Constantinople and regaining the position of Emperor. Even so, are you still unwilling to accept it? At that moment, another man slowly walked from the back of the room, and he was Solzhenitsyn.

"It's you ・・・・・・"

"Gui'an, Your Highness!" Apparently, Constance Dante's identity was told to him by Archimam Isdell.

"Although Alexander won a lot of money this time, he was still negligent, I'm afraid he didn't expect you to be the prince of the empire." Solzhenitsyn said not without compliments. "Since you are a descendant of the New Roman Empire, then as a courtier of the Empire, we must do everything we can, after all, you can't face the whole of Constantinople alone, can you?" In his opinion, what Constance Dante needs most now is strength, and their charcoal in the snow will definitely impress Cons.

But Constance Dante was unmoved, "Even so, it seems that it has nothing to do with you. Moreover, the new Roman Empire had fallen, and the people of Nicaea were nothing more than brazen people surviving. "It is true that Constantine will return to Constantinople to bring Sophia back, but he does not want to summon the spirits of the decaying empire again, and those Nicaean nobles have died in the twilight of life, and have never thought of recovering lost territory for ten years, so he will not make wedding dresses for them.

"And what about those in Trabzon? Their king was the grandnephew of Emperor Scipio, wasn't that legitimate? Suddenly, Archimam Isdell asked, "It is true that I, as Grand Imam, should live and die with Constantinople, but my duty does not allow me to die in vain. Unlike the Nicaeans, I have been lobbying the Rus to support the kingdom of Trebizond, and now that Trebizond is not only facing the suppression of the original Nicaea and the Seljuk Khanate, but also the invasion of the Crusaders, even then, you are indifferent? ”

The old man's words were full of sorrow, the death of Constantine was the sorrow and shame of every Herodian, but the Grand Imam of Isdr was not willing to let the glory of Rome be destroyed, and Constantine would be their last hope. (To be continued.) )
