"In the name of the core building, Herne Manor, Bologna will provide three hundred and fifty bottles of the Fountain of Life to the Byzantine Empire every month."

"In the name of the capital city, Constantinople, the Byzantine Empire opened the coastal cities to the Bolognese as trade areas."

There are no gods in this world, but there is a system of functional buildings, and in formal settings, some important functional buildings and complexes are often used to strengthen the effectiveness of the oath, and the city-state will use its own core building, and the state will use the capital.

Originally, Bologna was just a small city, and it was not qualified to become an official trading partner of the huge Byzantine Empire, and if it were not for the fact that the Byzantine Empire also recognized the lordship exchange agreement signed with the Gothic Kingdom that year, Bologna's fleet would not even be able to sail in the waters of the Byzantine Kingdom, whose navy was weak, but also a national army.

However, this inequality has been changed by the emergence of the Fountain of Life, a miraculous spring that allows the drinker to quickly recover from injuries, whether it is internal or external injuries or infections...... Even if it is diluted, it can be used as a stamina restorant.

The monk's treatment can also play a similar role, but the speed is not as fast as the spring of life, and people will be tired, and the monk can treat a dozen people a day at most, while the fountain of life has no such defects, and can be effective at any time.

On the battlefield, a unit with a modest attrition can regain its combat effectiveness within a few minutes after drinking the fountain of life, and return to the battlefield with high fighting spirits, as if everyone had been equipped with a monk of their own kind, which is the most important use of the spring.

The Byzantines, who had lost a series of wars against the desert peoples, had a very high demand for such a miraculous material, and if it had not been for Dio's reminder that over-collecting might lead to the depletion of the springs, they might have doubled the number to 3,000 bottles per month before they would have stopped.

The Byzantine Empire's main battle corps was numbered about 3,000 men, and they must have planned to have a bottle of spring water in each of their soldiers.

"Although it has been battered for a while, and the capital has been reduced to ruins, the empire has survived the most dangerous moment, and the counterattack against those desert barbarians is about to begin, Lord Dior... The Empire will not forget your assistance, and we will meet again. ”

In addition to the 350 bottles of spring water as agreed, Dio also supported 800 bottles of the Fountain of Life and 20 pieces of parallel equipment, and he wanted this behemoth to be one of the most powerful countries in the continent of Europa to establish a good relationship to deter some other forces.

After the Byzantine envoy left, Dio, who just wanted to rest for a while, found that his sister was walking around outside, looking hesitant, she seemed to say something to herself, but she was afraid of disturbing his official business, Melly used to be very careful to avoid the time when Dio was dealing with official business, which made the sister lord very proud, but today the situation seems to be a little different.

"Melly, what are you doing outside? Something to say come in. ”

Anyway, there was nothing to do for the time being, so Dio called his sister in.

"Brother...... I...... It won't bother you, will it? ”

The girl, who once thought that 'study hard and help her brother when she grows up' as her life goal, asked a little reservedly, she knew that her brother had been very busy recently, and if it wasn't for the fact that things were a little urgent, she wouldn't have come here.

"Didn't bother."

Melly's well-behaved appearance made Dior instantly happy, and Meikong was actually a very easy creature to satisfy.

"Brother...... I want to tell you a little bit about Knock Knock. ”

"About Knock Knock? Isn't she doing well now? ”

In the cognition of Dior, Ice Hunt, Ning Yi and others, Dongdong, who is now worshiped as a god, should live well.

"Those guys have been barely knocking on, and knock knocking is pushing themselves! Knock Knock is like a bird in a cage now, so would it be okay to let her go back to the manor? Melly told her all she had seen, and then pleaded earnestly with Dior.

"It's incredible that an idol to be worshipped should be coerced by believers! How weak is this child? ”

'Be strong for yourself and weak for others,' Dior said when he felt that the child's personality was simply magical.

"I can't exercise my lord's rights to help her, and the things she is facing now can only be dealt with by making changes on her own, and putting Dongdong somewhere is also a necessary protective measure."

With that, Dio took out some papers and handed them to Melly.

"Why is this happening? They actually ......" Melly took it and glanced at it cursoryly, looking very surprised.

These are all letters sent to Dior by some forces, with strange contents and different purposes, but they all revolve around a core.

"We are very concerned to hear that there is an evil witch force in your territory, bewitching the people and spreading distorted beliefs, please allow us to send the Inquisitor and the Knights to crusade against this fallen being, in the name of the true God!"

"Hearing that there have been miracles in your land, our elders have unanimously agreed that your land is a holy city favored by the gods, please allow us to bring the Holy Maiden of Light who brought miracles back to our cathedral to be worshipped, all for the sake of the true God!"

These two letters are the most shameless to write, these two monastic societies obviously want to take Dong Dong for themselves, any arrest of the witch to worship the saint is nonsense, Dong Dong even if she doesn't have much magic in itself, her fame can attract an incredible number of followers to her sect.

The rest were more subtle, some expressed their desire to open a church in Bologna, or send a team of missionaries to witness miracles or something, but they all expressed extraordinary concern for Dongdong.

Seeing that his sister's face was very bad, Dio said helplessly.

"These sect forces still know a little bit of proportion, and the more frantic guys are still to come."

He knew that his sister could understand the meaning of these things, although it was a little difficult to say, but Melly was much smarter than him, and it was no longer possible to describe it as precocious.

"To the Venerable Lord of Bologna, I am the Frankish Lord K· C. Orleans, our family has a child named Dongdong who has been left in your territory, and I have not received word until recently, I hope you will allow us to send someone to bring her back to the family, this child's name is Dongdong Orleans......"

There are a lot of lords who confess their relatives, if these people's words have a little credibility, then Dongdong's bloodline instantly becomes a super mixed race of more than thirty families, and the little guy suddenly has ten mothers, thirty fathers, ninety godfathers, and two grandfathers who are said to be 'dependent on each other', seven aunts and eight aunts, and countless others.

Melly suddenly felt the urge to laugh, but the situation behind the letters made her unable to laugh.

The girl, who couldn't stand it, flipped directly to the last page of the transcript of the letter.

"To the beautiful and charming Miss Dong Dong, I have fallen deeply in love since I saw your face on the side of the road that day, your graceful figure will appear in my dreams every day, I have become your prisoner, I have loved you so much that I can't help myself!

If you can accept my affection, please go on a date with me alone after midnight at the north gate of Bologna! If I can't kiss Fangze, I'd rather end my miserable life! ”

"Brother...... Elder brother...... Elder brother...... Brother! What is this? ”

Melly, blushing, roared loudly.

"This is a letter that someone secretly asked someone to send to Dongdong, but the entrusted believer handed over the letter to me at that time."

Dio replied.

"That'...... That...... That guy is really ...... to Knock Knock."

Melly stammered a question, but before she could finish her sentence, Dior flicked her head lightly.

"What are you thinking about this little head! The guy who wrote the letter didn't have a good heart, and he ambushed more than 20 people at the north gate, apparently planning to forcibly kidnap Dongdong. ”

"Is that so?"

Melly breathed a sigh of relief.

"And then?"

"And then? Then I asked Morgan to bring two hundred men over and go on a 'date ♂' with them. ”

Melly quickly left the office, muttering to herself in distress.

Placing Dongdong in front of the believers showed that he could not control her, protecting Dongdong and protecting Bologna to the greatest extent...... But it's not a long-term solution. My brother must have a follow-up plan, right? ”

"But...... If you keep being so weak, you will always be bullied, unless you make a change. ”
