"Why are you here, Berhis?"

The familiar voice made Berhiss shudder, because it was his old man, Nurddin, who was standing behind him at this time. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info The two had not seen each other since they parted ways at sea, and although the Seljuk army had invaded Trebizond at that time, Berhiss was not where at that time, and they were both very surprised to see each other at this moment.

"Nur al-Din? How did you end up here? Shocked, Berchis couldn't believe his eyes, since the dangerous reunion on the sea, Berchis thought it would be difficult to see him again, but he met this old man here and now.

"That's what I want to ask again." Nurdin then said the same, but there was no kindness in his voice. The two had a very unhappy past.

However, they had no time left, because the footsteps of Nicaea's gendarmerie were approaching, and both of them had the faces of foreigners, and if they were discovered, they would definitely be suspected, after all, one was a Turkic and the other was a Rastine, both of whom were enemies of Nicaea.

"It doesn't seem like the time to talk about that!" Berthes winked, it was very dangerous for them to remain here now.

"Okay!" Nur al-Din didn't say much, just nodded.

With that, the nimble two quickly disappeared into the intricate alleys of the slums, and the Nicaean gendarmerie found nothing but the ruins that had been reduced to rubble by the explosion. The air was filled with the pungent smell of gunpowder, and the crowd was already in chaos, and everyone wanted to flee because they didn't know if there would be an explosion, but they were stopped by the military police and prevented them from leaving the scene.

"What's going on, damn it?" Observing the scene, the official in charge also looked very annoyed, this is not once or twice, has spies been rampant in this city?

"Is it sabotage again?"

"Sir, should we continue the investigation?"

The gossiping military and police are indignant one by one, and this kind of thing happens all day and night.

The gendarmerie were tired of dealing with these things, but as gendarmes, they had the duty to hunt down all suspicious people, and they were waiting for their superiors to give them an order to arrest the culprits at once.

However, the chief waved his hand, "Forget it, it's just a needle in the bottom of the sea." I don't know how many of these things are going to happen! As long as nothing goes wrong, there is no need to bother. He understood, it was easy to say. Knowing that Nicaea had to allow foreigners to enter in order to obtain a lot of commercial benefits, and coupled with the weakening of his own country and the invasion of external forces, even those in power turned a blind eye to those in power, why should he worry about it?

"Yes, sir!" With the same attitude of his superiors, the original call of the gendarmerie immediately stopped, and it was over.

Nodding, the man simply ordered his men to deal with the aftermath a little, then set up a cordon, and left the scene with the armed gendarmes. In the corner, Berhiss and Nurdin watched from the sidelines. They didn't expect that the other party would slap their butts and leave without even searching the surroundings.

"It's really loose!" Looking at the gendarmerie of the other party acting so hastily, Berchis even felt that it was inferior to Trebizond, and he remembered that Nicaea had not been like this a few years ago.

"Yes! I was surprised at first! So, what is your purpose here, Belhis? Nur al-Din's face was still bandaged as usual, but that was unusual for the outskirts of the city—leprosy was not unusual, but Berhis knew it was only to cover up the Assasin Assassins' tattoos. Since the Assasin sect was regarded as a heresy by the Crescent Empire, large-scale conflicts broke out between the two sides, first of all, the Assasin Assassins repeatedly assassinated most of the princes and ministers of the Assasin Dynasty, and even the Caliph of the Empire, and the male lord Saladin was also assassinated by the Assasin Assassins when he was the general of the Fatimid Dynasty, when he unified the north, which naturally led directly to the later large-scale revenge, which caused the heretical sect to collapse because of this.

And what Nur al-Din has been working for is to rebuild Assasin and restore its former glory! Berhiss knew this best, when he was twelve years old, when his father had sent him to learn the art of assassination, and it was then that he met Nurdin and the two became the best of the younger generation

But as the son of the Duke of Antioch, it was certainly impossible for Berschis to convert to the Crescent religion and later parted ways.

"And what is your purpose?" Looking at this former colleague, Berchis asked, there seemed to be no reason for the other party to appear here.

……

In the palace, the emissaries of the Seljuk Khanate had already left, but the controversy was far from over.

"Your Majesty, do you really think so?" The Keeper of the Seals and others were opposed, they did not think it would be wise to re-ally with the Seljuks, and it was unwise to choose the threat of the New Bullard Kingdom when their defense system in Anatolia had completely collapsed not long ago.

But King Mikael seemed to have made up his mind, he looked at the nobles who opposed him in front of him and said coldly: "Rather than become a puppet, it is better to give it a go, do you want to let the Rastines steal the glory of New Rome?" "He could not tolerate submission to the kingdom of New Blad in any way, and it took King Mikael a full ten years to keep the country firmly in his hands, how could he tolerate someone taking it from his hands.

"If Your Majesty is so stubborn...... We will be very sorry! The nobles could not help but speak coldly, for for the king's recklessness was beyond their patience, and it seemed to them that sooner or later it would lead to devastating consequences.

However, once King Mikael, who had already taken over power, made a decision, no one could change it.

"If that's the case -- then I'm sorry too." King Mikael looked at these nobles who were already very dissatisfied with him with a subtle expression, in the past few years, he has been depriving those ancient families of their fiefs, although the power of this country can be concentrated, but it has also made him completely lose the support of the nobles, and now when his position is in crisis, I am afraid that many people are already ready to move!

"In that case...... Your Majesty...... If nothing else, we'll quit. The nobles with unkind faces had no choice but to say this, and put an end to this unpleasant court.

And King Mikael did not seem to say anything about this encroachment, but acquiesced in letting the nobles leave the court.

"Your Majesty, it seems that they have made up their minds." For a time there were only chamberlains and the Minister of Foreign Affairs, a powerful supporter of King Mikael, who was reminding his Majesty. The political situation in Nicaea as a whole has been completely in turmoil. The nobles who had been deprived of their power in the past were probably already waiting for this day. Mikael is well aware of his situation, but there are some things that have to be planned.

"It seems so, so we have to hurry!" King Mikael also seemed to have made up his mind in mind, and this was what his cronies had been waiting for.

A new revolution is coming to the city......

And in the shadows of the unseen, as King Mikael had predicted, an undercurrent against himself was rising. For so many years, the great nobles, who had been stripped of their power, had long since hated their king. However, it is different from the past, Mikael has the army in his hands, and the army also supports it, not the era when the emperor could be deposed by a random mutiny.

Because of this, the necessary external help is indispensable, and the chosen object does not need to be cared for, because everything is just for the sake of conflict of interests!

"Have you already made your decision, gentlemen? His Majesty the Emperor is waiting for my return. The man on the other side said arrogantly, completely ignoring the great nobles of Nicaea.

"Hmph, what emperor? Your Majesty, Baldwin, I'm afraid you're still far from that position. ”

The nobles sneered, obviously only occupying the area around Constantinople, but that man actually wanted to become the emperor of the new Roman Empire, anyone would laugh at this ambition, but the other party didn't pay attention to it at all, but said indifferently: "From today onwards, it will be a stone's throw away, and His Majesty Baldwin will become the new emperor of this land under this sky!" ”

"Tsk-" The nobles, in spite of their indignation, now had to make a compromise with the other party, to these Rustins. "Then Duke Andrews, if we agree, will the New Brad Kingdom be able to honor the previous conditions?"

Sitting in front of the nobles was none other than Duke Andrews, one of the four dukes of the New Brad Kingdom, who secretly traveled to Nicaea as Baldwin's secret envoy. And his arrival brought attractive conditions to these nobles.

"That's certainly guaranteed. His Majesty Baldwin only needs superficial submission, as long as the Kingdom of Nicaea declares allegiance, it will be given the same autonomous status as Epirus and Achaia, and at that time, Nicaea will be the Nicaea of all of you. Duke Andrews said with a smile, and the eyes of these nobles in front of him also showed a trace of greed for a while. No matter how you look at it now, it is impossible to counterattack back to Constantinople, and Mikael is still bent on wresting power from them, so it is better to cooperate with the Rastins than this.

"Then we are willing to cooperate with His Majesty Baldwin, and I hope you can keep your word."

"Then I'm glad we can come to an agreement, but I've heard that the Seljuks are coming, too." Duke Andrews put away his smile and said with a serious face, After the end of the crusade, the West's control of the East will naturally decline, and the comeback of the Turks is completely expected, but at this time, it will undoubtedly become a stumbling block to the great cause of the new Brad Kingdom.

"That's right, I'm afraid Mikael has realized our intentions, and now he is probably trying to collude with the Seljuks! But I'm afraid it's too late now, because we're going to end it all today. The nobles' voices were cold with murderous intent in their voices, and a coup d'état was brewing. And they were looking at Duke Andrews and said, "Then I wonder if the Grand Duke has given us enough help?" ”

Although the nobles also have a considerable number and combat effectiveness, the army is still firmly held by Mikael, even if it was damaged in Trabizon before, but the foundation is definitely not something they can fight, so the assistance of the New Brad Kingdom is essential.

"You can rest assured, I will give the greatest help." Duke Andrews smiled and promised the nobles.

……

"Welcome, Papal Emissary."

When Constance Dante entered the city, he wandered around with the man aimlessly, and it was not until the sun went down that the other party brought him here.

It's a humble inn full of all kinds of people, and it's a great place to connect.

It's just that Constance Dante seemed a little hesitant, he didn't understand why the other party had brought him here until now. What's more, until now, Constance Dante didn't know what he was here for.

As for Constance Dante's concerns, the man obviously also saw it, and explained with a smile: "Your Highness has something to do before, so I can't see Your Excellency immediately. So time has just been delayed, please don't worry. ”

"I understand." Not wanting to let the other man see his doubts and hesitation, Constance Dante followed the man into the inn, which looked dirty and out of place in the surrounding area.

"This is the base of the Khanate in Nicaea, where we can learn about the movements of the Nicaeans. Even if they know it, they don't dare to act rashly, and they can be guaranteed absolute safety. The man explained, leading Considine up the dark steps as he spoke. Constance Dante felt a strange aura in them, and at last they reached the door of a room, and the man stopped.

"Huh?" Seeing that the other party stood still, Constance Dante couldn't help but have some questions. "What's wrong?"

I saw the man turn around, take two steps back to the side, and said respectfully: "Your Highness wants to see you, so I have to stop here." Please go by yourself! ”

Looking at the door in front of him, Constance Dante hesitated for a moment, but still reached out and pushed the door open.

In the room, a person had been waiting for a long time.

"Long time no see, Your Highness the Knight King. It's not a stranger, but this is the first time we've met! ”
