Chapter 4 Rivalry

The two continued on and soon arrived at the butcher's shop.

Asker stared at the meat stall for a long time, wondering if he could pick fresh ones and carry them back (yes, he could carry them), so Nora pulled him excitedly and ran to the deli shop next door.

"Roast turkey thighs!" She pointed to the stove opposite and said, "Asker, aren't you a little tired of eating pork lately?" Do you want a change of taste? ”

"How do you know?" Asker was completely speechless, I always eat pork, isn't it a problem with some pretty chef?

"Hey, hey." Nora pretended to smile stupidly, and then said to Uncle Frank behind the counter, "Two turkey legs, help wrap them in thicker oiled paper." ”

In this world, the Franks of the HRE Empire basically speak dialectal Latin, so Nora can barely understand Latin.

Uncle Frank wrapped two roasted turkey legs for her, and said with an apologetic expression:

"I'm sorry, it's not your Majesty's intention to go to war with your homeland, it's not our Franks' intention, I just hope that God won't take his anger out on all the Franks when he offends His Majesty."

Nola: ???

The amount of information in the other party's words was a bit large, so that she didn't relax for a long time. Seeing that the beautiful girl was in a daze, the uncle asked uncertainly:

"Aren't you an Italian Canadian?"

"Ah, I am from the city of Solomon." Nora said frankly.

"That's it." The uncle drew a cross on his chest, "If you want to declare war on the Holy See, Your Majesty, he must be crazy." God willing, forgive him for his mistakes – and until then, forgive Bavaria. ”

This guy really wasn't wrong. In a sense, Emperor Otto's spirit was already a little abnormal, Aske thought to himself.

However, did the news spread so quickly? Didn't the Weissbach family control public opinion?

The two left the butcher's shop, Nora looked at the turkey leg in his hand in a daze, and Asker was still thinking about Emperor Otto.

"I hadn't reacted when he said that...... It turned out to be the follow-up Southern Expedition campaign. Nora tore off a small strip of turkey meat with her hand, but quickly threw it away:

"It's hot! Scald, hot, hot! ”

"It must be hot when it comes out of the oven." Asker said casually, and Nora pinched his ear.

"What?" Asker was a little speechless.

"If your hands are burned, you have to pinch your earlobes." Nora said solemnly.

"Why don't you pinch your own earlobe?" Asker asked.

"Because I have oil on my fingers." Nora said.

"I thank you for rubbing oil on my ears." Asker was completely speechless.

"Just kidding." Nora took out her handkerchief and helped him wipe his earlobes clean, "Have you ever heard of that psychological tolerance test?" ”

"What psychology?" Asker asked.

"The girl wants to confess to the boy she has a crush on, but she doesn't know if the other party will agree." Nora smiled and said, "At this time, you can deliberately tease him a little, such as accidentally spilling a drink on him." ”

"If the boy doesn't show any disgust, it can mean that this girl is at least tolerated in his heart, and has a special status with a certain degree of favorability, and if he confesses, then the probability of success will be higher."

"That's not very accurate, is it?" Asker said casually, "I've seen that kind of gentleman, let alone a young and beautiful girl, even if a big man throws slippers in his face, as long as he apologizes, he won't be angry." ”

"Are you the type of gentleman who is good?" Nora asked, wondering.

"Of course not." Asker said.

"Isn't that it?" Nora grinned and said, "And you didn't feel disgusted, which shows that my confession was very successful...... Ahh ”

"It seems that this psychological test is really inaccurate." She put her hot fingers to her mouth and blew on the cold air in small gulps.

Asker: ..................

This girl is really getting better and better, and she can always find all kinds of quiet ways to subtly remind him that "I like you", which can make him feel a strong sense of guilt every time.

"My turkey leg should be cold." Asker said.

"Why does your one cool faster?" Nora asked curiously.

"Because I'm cold-blooded." Aske replied.

"Is there a way to keep you warm?" Nora asked in a brisk tone, the smile on her face unchanged.

"Yes, stay with warm things for a long time, and you'll probably get warmer." Asker replied.

"Then let's exchange turkey legs, mine is still hot." Nora exchanged the turkey leg in her hand with the chicken leg in his hand, and then lowered her head and took a bite.

"How's it taste?" Asker asked.

"It's not bad, it's tender and fragrant, and it's juicy, but the skin is a little thick." Nora commented.

"The skin of turkey meat is relatively thick." Aske said, "If you don't like it, you can peel it off." ”

"That's not going to work." Nora took another bite, "I want to eat all of it, including its cheekiness." ”

Asker: ???

"Cheeky?" He paused for a moment and asked.

"I mean goosebumps." Nora smiled unchangeably, "You heard me wrong. ”

Aske sighed inwardly, this girl is indeed right, I have to admit it......

"What's going on up ahead?" Nora stood on tiptoe and looked at the crowd in front of her, "What are you arguing about?" ”

"Let's go check it out." Asker suggested.

When the two ran to the center of the market, they saw a priest in a robe, surrounded by the citizens of Mingxing City, standing on a wooden box, reading aloud a piece of news to the surrounding crowd:

"By decree of His Holiness His Holiness the Holy See of Innocent, the Holy Solomon Emperor, His Majesty Otto, declares the highest penalty for breaking the door! Announcing the expulsion of His Majesty Otto from Solomon! Depose His Majesty Otto as Emperor by Annunciation! Declare the banishment of His Majesty Otto to lands beyond the Empire! No forgiveness for at least a year! ”

Beside him, another man standing on a wooden box, who looked like a Bavarian official, also unfolded the document in his hand and read it aloud to the crowd:

"By the decree of His Majesty Otto, the current Holy Emperor of the Holy Solomon, I hereby declare that I will not recognize the excommunication order of the Holy See and will personally lead the army to the Holy See for face-to-face confrontation and questioning!"

The crowd in the audience had been divided into two distinct groups: one group sided with the clergy and supported the pope and rebuked His Majesty the Emperor for betraying God; The other group sided with the officials in support of the Weissbach family, claiming that since the great Duke had sent someone to say so, then His Majesty the Emperor probably had a hard time.

On the whole, there are far more citizens supporting the Pope than those on the other side. However, the two sides did not fight, after all, it was not the emperor but the Weissbach family who supported the opposite side, so the voice of scolding and cursing the emperor prevailed on the scene.

"What are they doing?" Nora asked curiously.

Although she had understood what was being said, she pretended not to understand at all.

"Public opinion warfare." Asker said.

"I don't understand, you can explain it to me." Nora raised her head playfully and launched a cute gaze tactic of diagonally upwards of 45 degrees, combined with a stupid attack and a coquettish move.
