In half a day, Li Ji squeezed the wealth of the rich country from the hands of a row of bishops, even if a lot of it appeared in the form of fields, real estate, and even commodities, such as oriental tea and porcelain, it did not prevent them from doing what they wanted to do next.

Further down is to contact the real merchant and the shipyard owner at the bottom to start preparing the ship, which of course he does not have time for.

Fortunately, at this time, a new character appeared, Cosimo de' Medici. The legend, after the efforts of Giovanni, the head of the previous generation, will become the uncrowned king of Florence in a maximum of two years.

The Medici family, who opened the bank, was the purse bag of the church, so it was normal for things to involve him, and Li Ji knew his ability very well, and was definitely qualified to ascend Valhalla, appoint him in charge, and after a month, collect at least a hundred Karak galleons.

Li Ji and Marda returned to Rome, did not rush back to the Vatican, and first wandered the streets.

In this historic ancient city, there are also pagan temples of gods and goddesses in Roman times, as well as churches of all kinds since the establishment of Christianity, but no matter what the buildings, even the columns, fountains, frescoes, and sculptures that exist as decorations, they are infused with the painstaking efforts of countless artists, and it can be called a city of art, which is quite pleasing to the eye.

And a few days ago, they didn't have the time to appreciate this all the way in.

"Marda, thank you so much... Not sure if this will bring a stain on your lore. ”

"No, no... The Master is exactly what I want, and I'd really like to give them the Iron Fist. Marda said indignantly, "But Master, are you really going to help the Church?" You know, we're here to save the world, or to help Miss Joan of Arc, right? ”

"Haha... I'll just talk about it... The tide is not so easy to change, even if I say that in another twenty years Constantinople will fall, and in another hundred years the Reformation will be inevitable, what can they do? ”

As they walked, Marda, who was in disguise, looked around with a rather curious gaze, her time, at the beginning of the Common Era, the Roman Empire through Caesar, the hand of Augustus was in the stage of vigorous rebirth, and the city of Rome, as the center of Rome, was like the city of seven hills, the name of the center of the world, showing a thousand rays of light.

As a village girl, she has never been here, has not seen the prosperity here, only today, standing here in person.

“master… I'm not going to be laughed at like that, am I? Although, this kind of mess is really annoying. Marda asked, brushing her long hair, looking a little worried.

Li Ji said that as a modern person, wouldn't it seem out of place to travel back to the 15th century?

Speaking of which, if you want to understand this era, you should ask Leonardo da Vinci, this confidant big sister was originally a heroic spirit in this place, and will be born in another twenty years.

Marda clenched her fists, "Wait, Master, I noticed a fluctuation in mana, and some familiar Heroic Spirit entered the city. ”

Li Ji was a little stunned when he heard this, what kind of heroic spirit is it? I can't help but glance around defensively.

After a while, Marda exhaled, "Master, no hostility, let's go and see." ”

Under the guidance of the maiden, he did not long see a familiar figure appearing in the city of Rome.

It was a girl shrouded in robes and armor, and her blonde hair, her moving body, and the most attractive thing was probably her resolute attitude that she would not give up at all times.

Although Li Ji recognized the identity of the girl almost instantly, he was surprised that she would appear here, and the people of Rome City did not recognize her at all, seeing that the girl was trying to knock on the door of a certain archbishop's mansion, unfortunately, for such an unknown figure, the servants chose not hesitate to refuse, and spoke ill of her to expel her.

So the girl wandered the streets a little helplessly.

Joan of Arc, white Joan of Arc.

And Joan of Arc, who is alive, died three days ago.

In other words, at this moment, there is another Heroic Spirit of Joan of Arc, and if you are familiar with the original story, she should exist as the protagonist of the first anomaly, just like the first anomaly, the black Joan of Arc exists as a villain.

Without waiting for Li Ji to make a decision, the girl sensed the divine aura that Marda couldn't look at, and cast her gaze in awe.

It is almost impossible to see Orientals in the city of Rome, you know, even in the Apennine Peninsula, where trade is developed, at most you will see merchants from the Levant and Arabia, and it is impossible for Orientals like him to appear.

Not to mention Marda, the mutual attraction between the saints is destined to be impossible to ignore each other, even if Joan of Arc at this time is still a suspected witch, only the French people will support and cherish the memory of the saint who saved the country, since she appears in the form of a heroic spirit, she has been proved to be a saint.

"I don't know about the two... No, you're a Heroic Spirit... No, no, it may be a bit abrupt to say that, but I think you must be someone I respect. Joan of Arc looked at them uncertainly, his gaze a little wandering, "I heard that Lord Marda has come to the city of Rome these days, do you mean that you..."

"If that name is true, I'm Marda... But I'm not as noble as you say! The girl became shy, as if she were seeing a junior who admired her fanatically.

"Sure enough, it's you, Lord Marda!" Joan of Arc became a little surprised, and it seemed that the unhappiness since coming here had vanished, "And this one is..."

"Li Ji... The immortals of the East..."Li Ji didn't say much, this time they planned to help Black Joan of Arc, which meant that it was very likely that they would need to make a break with White Joan of Arc.

After a while, they sat down on the side of the street, and Marda took the initiative to bring a lot of food, so that Joan of Arc, who was hungry these days, was very happy to have a full meal, and then he could speak.

"Joan of Arc, why are you here? It is more than a few thousand kilometers from France. ”

"Is it that long?" Joan of Arc calculated, her lips quirming, "I'm sorry, I'm not good at math, but I'm sure I'm near Switzerland when I appeared, not far from here." “

"At that time, I was in a servant state, if in peacetime, I should be the ruler of the Holy Grail War, this time for some reason, I will appear three days after my death, there is no Holy Grail War, so I don't know the meaning of my appearance."

"With some regret before I died, perhaps I don't understand why I was faced with the witch accusations on the British side, the Vatican rejected my appeal, and even my desire to visit a bishop just now was refused."

"Thankfully, I met Mistress Marda, and I felt satisfied anyway, and it would be better if I could see Maria and Mistress Lazarus again."

"My sister and brother, you say?" When Marda heard Joan of Arc mention her relatives, she couldn't help but put on the posture of an elder as an older sister, and you must know that Marda's sister and brother are both saints, and their status is extremely special.

"If it's Valhalla, or that person's side, they must have lived together, but Miss Joan of Arc should know that appearing in the form of a servant will lead to the fading of memories, and I can't answer this question."

Joan of Arc lowered her head: "I'm sorry, I probably didn't die for a long time, and somehow I feel like I'm a complete novice, and I've almost forgotten such basic common sense." Lord Marda, you are in the form of a servant, what is the purpose of your here? “

"If there's a purpose, it's to save the world." Without hesitation, Marda said very bluntly: "This is my master, we foresee that the future is facing a crisis, and we want to do something in this world. ”

"So," Joan of Arc seemed determined, "may I join you?" It must have been the Lord who guided me to meet Master Marda, so it must have been the Lord's arrangement to follow in the footsteps of Lord Marda. ”
