Chapter 6: The Birth of the Sicilian Black Hand
Why is it so badly injured? β
In the bedroom, Geta carefully fed Robert a decoction and began to bandage the wound on his shoulder, grumbling dissatisfiedly.
"Hmph, it's so ruthless, it's really my species." Robert didn't look angry, and it seemed to sound a little subtle pride, causing the young wife Geeta to roll her eyes.
"If you continue to indulge like this, you will be careful that one day you will be killed by this daughter picked up by the roadside." Geta said coldly.
"If that's the case, I'll get my long-cherished wish right." Robert snorted, "Besides, she wasn't picked up by the roadside, so be careful when you speak." β
"I've never heard you say you had this daughter." Gaita hid her resentment deeply, and said with a sneering resentment, "She's getting close to me in her age. β
"Ugh." Robert shook his head in silence.
"I'll do the math, aren't you in your 20s at the time, and you haven't left your home in Normandy?" As if inadvertently, Geta said, "Could it be your father's fiancΓ©e for you?" β
"Heh, I was completely ignored at home at that time, and my father didn't even say more than 1 sentence to me every day, how could he arrange a marriage for me?" Robert sneered, "Her mother is actually my sister Sally. β
Oh, the immoral thing.
Gaita immediately stopped talking, a sensational thing that would have been common in the Norman Transcendent Family. The simplest reason: bloodline purification.
Due to genetic contamination, the transcendents themselves are almost unable to give birth to normal offspring with other transcendents of different bloodlines, or ordinary humans. If you want to suppress the bloodline and forcibly give birth, the children born are prone to early death.
Therefore, the quickest way is for all members of the entire family to follow the same blood line, and then intermarry with each other internally, so as to avoid the side effects of reproductive isolation or early death of offspring.
Of course, if you want to marry a woman outside the family, the premise is that the other party must be an ordinary person, and be willing to take the potion in order and follow the bloodline route mastered by the family, which is called "Integration" in the transcendent world.
This is also the case with Geta, who has now been upgraded to Lv.6, and when the "Northern Horn" bloodline is completed, she will be able to give birth to an heir for Robert.
Because of this, for this "wild daughter" who suddenly appeared, Gaita, who is a housemother and has no heirs for the time being, is naturally extremely vigilant and hateful.
"That's right." She suddenly remembered something, and asked, "Sidlifa's bloodline is also the 'Northern Trumpet'?" β
"Of course." Robert subconsciously replied, "Don't you see her full head of silver-white hair?" β
However, he was suddenly stunned for a moment, the one with white hair is the Northern Horn bloodline? Not necessarily, it is said that the other bloodlines of the Northern Sequence will also escape the frost power and cause gray hair......
That's! Robert quickly dispelled this groundless speculation. You must know that at the beginning, the ancient Viking clan was fully spreading, and the northern sequence was divided by major families, who didn't regard their own bloodline route as a treasure of inheritance?
Since Hidlifa must be of the Ottwell bloodline, if her transcendent bloodline is not the Northern Horn, could there be other Viking descendants family who gave her the bloodline? Is that family a fool to hand over their precious bloodline knowledge so casually? Someone who handed it over to the Outville family?
Of course, this is impossible, Robert smiled dumbly, and then find an opportunity to ask her.
ββββββββββ
In eastern Sicily, at the foot of Mount Etna, in the remote town of Bronto.
The native guerrillas stood in a row in terror, their bodies stiffened as they watched several transcendents walk by.
"That's all?" Medea asked in surprise.
Mi'er did not answer, but walked up to the leader of the guerrillas and asked:
"You're from the Sinqui Marni family?"
The leader opened his mouth blankly, but did not speak. I only heard the black-robed old man behind him say:
"I've lifted his physical control."
Medea frowned slightly in discomfort.
Yesterday, she would never have imagined that this old man who had attacked her before was actually a demigod on Mi'er's side.
How many demigods does this guy have!? Miss Succubus was a little surprised, and for a while, the evaluation and attention to Mi'er's strength greatly increased.
Of course, maybe this is the real purpose of the demigod old man's action.
"I'll do it." Seeing that Mi'er couldn't ask for information for a long time, Medea took the initiative to ask.
Compared with the brutal psychological search, the law of manipulation is not a little more advanced. Under the influence of supernatural power, soon the guerrilla leader confided everything:
The guy's name is Francis. Sinquimari, however, surprisingly, is not actually a member of the Sinquimari family.
Eighteen years ago, the Outville family invaded Sicily, and a large number of Sicilian nobles rebelled, only to be slaughtered by the Normans.
However, the matter did not end there, because the Normans, who could only fight and plunder, were not very good at managing the manor economy. Under the cruel oppression of the new knight lords, a large number of serfs abandoned the land they had originally cultivated and hid in the mountains to transform into bandits.
Gradually, some bandits began to take aristocratic surnames, such as making up rumors such as "I am a descendant of the XX family, and if I am a Sicilian brother, they will come to cut me", raiding the surrounding estates and forcing more serfs to join them.
As a result, the Sicilian nobles who had been slaughtered cleanly were "resurrected", and then they were wanted and exterminated all over the island by the Ottville family, who were like great enemies.
These "Sicilian aristocrats" were usually captured or killed during months-long wars, while a few were lucky enough to escape for their lives until order on the island was stabilized again.
Within a few years, the serfs, who could not bear the cruel oppression, fled one after another one after another, and then tangled up the bandit team, integrated and annexed each other, and began to take the surname of the nobles to build momentum, until it aroused the jealousy of the Ottwell family, and began to suppress bandits on a large scale......
This cycle is almost the biggest negative example of the Normans' ability to govern. As for the partisan leader in front of him, Francis. Xinkui Mani, it is actually the "fifth generation of Xin Kui Mani", and has no blood relationship with the previous four generations of "Xin Kui Mani".
Medea: ..................
Mier: ..................
"Count the time." Medea laughed and said, "Mia is presumably, uh, an orphan of the second generation of the Sinquamani family?" β
"Probably." Mi'er also smiled bitterly. What is the "Xinkui Mani" family, they are clearly all serfs! made a fortune by robbing the house, and then took the surname of the noble.
"So I felt something wasn't right." Medea said helplessly, "How can a nobleman embroider his surname on a baby's swaddling clothes!" It's too cheesy. β
"It's okay." Mi'er was silent for a moment, and then suddenly said, "It doesn't matter if we are from a noble family or a serf, anyway, all we want is to control the guerrillas." What's more, they can take aristocratic surnames, can't we? β
"You mean......" Medea's eyes lit up, and several conspiracies immediately popped up in her head.
"We are also building a 'Sinqui Marni family.'" Mi'er said calmly, "How about the orphans of the Sinquimani family who fled overseas back then, with the determination of revenge, and now they have returned to Sicily?" β
"Moreover, in order to take revenge on the Outville family, she began to secretly build and expand her own family power, and in less than a month, she completely controlled the underground guerrilla forces of the whole island, becoming a veritable Sicilian black hand." Medea also smiled slightly, and followed her opening and said, "People praise her name in fear......"
ββ¦β¦ Mia. Sinqui Marnie, how? β
