Chapter 332: A Day Trip to Rennes

“…… No wonder Isabel would be willing to give Ellie to him. Although he is young, he is indeed a reliable man. What's even more rare is that he doesn't have so many of the usual restlessness of young people. Good looks and abilities, and stable people, if it weren't for the big difference in identity, I would have wanted to hand over Somalina to him, I owe Somalina too much, but it's a pity that ......"

"Recently Ludwig wrote me a letter asking me to put this little bastard in the coalition against the Normans for the sake of his face, so that I could mix up the military merits. And Shui Jue had also said good things about him in front of me a few times before, hoping that I could take more care of him, but this little bastard came to me and cried poorly, and refused to go with me...... Oh, young people now, am I getting old? What do you think, Conrad? ”

"Thank you, Alan...... But...... Wait. ”

……

"Dad, Ellie is so tired, let's not go out today, okay?"

The ten-year-old girl kept rubbing her bun face against Sinloth's face with a soft childlike voice. However, the coquettish who was invincible in the past seems to have no effect this time.

The Earl pinched Ellie's little face and smiled, "Does Ellie want to be lazy again?" ”

"Ellie doesn't, it's just, it's just really boring......"

It's normal for children to be bored, after all, it's just a group of hypocritical adults testing each other together. Not to mention Ellie, even Sinloth himself is bored.

It's been seven or eight days since she arrived in Rennes, and in the past few days, in addition to playing the queen's game every morning, she has been dragged by Rosa to various parties—Madame Butterfly is called a reward for Sinloth for helping her niece.

However, although I am tired for a while, it is not necessarily true to say that I have not gained anything at all. The deceptive face of a certain northern beauty. It was easy to win the favor of the ladies and the daring ladies. even secretly gave away his own feather fan. And when Madama Butterfly announced that Desmond was the true origin of perfumery, that level of popularity finally reached its peak.

After so many years of accumulation. Perfume has gradually begun to become popular among the upper class ladies. Even if Sinlos didn't want to see his daughter overworked, and a shady merchant in Desmond who strictly controlled the sale of perfumes, he still couldn't change the situation.

On the contrary, the scarce quantity caused the ladies to buy **.

Under the gold of Nanorca, the fragrance of all kinds of flowers can be perfectly integrated into the fragrance. No matter what kind of flavor the ladies want, the second daughter of Van Zhuo can make it perfectly. After a certain high-class lady used the perfume given by Madame Butterfly and became the star of the crowd at a certain ball, before you knew it, the perfume was already in the circle of noblewomen. It has become one of the important symbols to prove his identity.

And the scarcity of custom-made perfumes on the black market has reached a level of horror that must be purchased with the same amount of gold - not necessarily in stock.

I didn't even have a private perfume, so I was embarrassed to go out to meet people - in order to thank Madame Butterfly for her great efforts, Sinloster sent a box of rose perfume as a token of gratitude.

Sinlos has been famous in the circle of noblewomen for a while, at least judging from the itinerary of the past few days, the title of Friend of Women is estimated to be impossible to run away - if I knew that I could play like this, Sinlos would not have been pulled around by Rosa.

Although Madame Butterfly is really attractive, both in terms of appearance and ability. If he hadn't been married, Xinloth might have considered pursuing this pretty widow? Woman. But now...... The Count tapped on his chest. Trying to slow down the fast-beating rain vessel in his chest. But like countless attempts over the past few days, it has been to no avail.

If it goes on like this, Yuan Jing will blow him up. In the past few days, the Rain and Dew Vessel has produced too much Yuan Jing, which has made a certain part of Xinluo have been high-spirited. I couldn't sleep all night.

Of course, the intimate contact with Madame Rosa in the past few days is also an important reason for trouble. It is well known that the Earl of Desmond is a man who loves his wife to death. How can you easily accept those bad temptations from the outside!

Madame Rosa may have had it unintentionally, and the time with her was pleasant. But even with Ellie and Christina, the two little guys, as light bulbs. But after all, dry? Firewood? If there is any sparkle in the fire. How could he be worthy of Marianna, who was raised in Desmond?

The Count pondered, and finally had an idea. The Count touched his daughter's head and said loudly in her surprised gaze, "Claude, come here...... Yes, go and tell Madame Rosa that I am not feeling well today, so I will not go out. ”

"Yes, sir."

The housekeeper saw the old man jumping around, but he still took the order and left. When Ellie heard her father's words, she happily smacked several mouthfuls on his face. Xinluo pinched his daughter's little face and asked softly, "Are you satisfied?" What are you going to do today? ”

"Ellie wants to see the neighborhood!"

Ellie is very well-behaved most of the time, but after all, she is only ten years old, which is the age when she loves to play and make trouble. During this time, following her father, she lived like a puppeteer, and she was indeed suffocated.

It's also a shame that she can hold it until now, if it was Assasin's cat, maybe she would have exploded directly.

Since you promised the child, then you must do it. And after coming to Rennes for so long, except for the first time when he chased the thief lady, he walked a small half of the city, and Sinlos really hasn't visited the capital of Britannia. Since his daughter had said so, Sinlos had fulfilled his request.

"Then let's walk around the city today."

……

"Wow, that's a lot of ......"

"Hmm."

The father and daughter did not choose to travel in a carriage, since they came out to play, they took this opportunity to have enough. Not only that, but Sinloth also gave his soldiers a holiday. Rennes is the capital of Britannia, and the security is still relatively good. And some kind people who can survive in the city will not be stupid enough to offend the father and daughter who are obviously nobles.

Miss Thief is a special case after all.

So the father and daughter, who were lightly dressed, walked around the city of Wren - the soldiers who were not relieved changed into civilian clothes and secretly fell behind Sinloth. The soldiers mean well. It's rare for her daughter to be so happy, and Xinluo didn't break it.

Rennes as the capital of Britannia. Successive governors of Britannia have naturally spent countless efforts in it. Broadly speaking, Wren is artificially divided into five parts. That is, the central governor's palace, and the aristocratic district that is only adjacent to it, followed by the commoner district, and the commercial district. Beyond that, there were all kinds of military installations, and most of the noble private soldiers like Rosa who were called in were stationed outside the city.

As for the poor people who are embarrassed, no one cares about their life or death, and naturally there is no corresponding zoning. In the gap between the urban areas is the residence of this group of people.

Rennes defended tightly. The city has two walls, the outer walls are five meters thick and twelve meters high, stretching for several kilometers from north to south. The inner wall, which is twenty meters away, is even higher than the outer wall, and under this height difference, even if the enemy is lucky enough to break through the outer wall, he still needs to face the condescending defenders of Rennes.

And the city wall, which is made of solid rock, is enough to block most of the attack methods at this time. And when the enemy attacks the city walls, the 96 towers and countless arrow towers will definitely leave an indelible impression on the enemy.

After all, it's the capital. It's understandable that the defense is strong. As he walked through the city, slowly admiring the magnificent complex, he silently sat and compared himself to Desmond - the result was obvious.

But for the lively Ellie, these tall buildings only amazed her for a while. Happy girl walks through the crowd on her little short legs. While waving his little paws, he signaled his father, who was slow and leisurely, to hurry up and follow.

Looking at Ellie jumping happily like a deer in the forest, a hint of relief flashed in Xinluos's dark eyes. In any case, if God really exists. Please make her happy.

"Please bring your name and home address with you when praying, otherwise the gods will not find you."

How could there be such a frustrated god in this world? Sinloth didn't say a word, pretending to press down on the strands of hair that had been blown up by the breeze. threw out a ball of light that was invisible to ordinary people.

"You bastard who always spoils my atmosphere, get out of here!"

……

As a good-for-nothing liberal arts dog, Sinlos really didn't have much to do with architecture and other majors. However, judging from the architectural style in front of you, it should be around the Middle Ages similar to the earth - the liberal arts dog said that he could only recognize so much.

Around the 12th century, probably earlier......

Perhaps because of the long-term need to face the Norman threat, all the buildings in the city without exception seem relatively simple, without any trace of the luxury of the royal capital. The houses are all made of hard stone, and they are obviously residential areas, but from a distance, they look like small fortresses.

If the enemy does break through the outer walls of the city, then the defenders who retreat into the city can still rely on the intricate and strong fortifications to engage the enemy in the most brutal street battles.

Although Britannia has always been nicknamed the countryside, it is precisely because of this that the fierceness of the people is not comparable to the residents of the royal capital who have been peaceful for a hundred years. The courage to build an entire city into a huge fortress alone is admirable.

It's a pity that such a city is more cold and hard, but less soft.

Sinloth thought to himself and grabbed the panting Ellie. In the girl's little exclamation, Cinnroth put her daughter on her shoulder again. As a fortress, Wren is qualified, and the well-built transportation and fortifications that can be found everywhere in the city, combined with the high prestige of Governor Allen, can turn the city into a flesh millstone at any time.

But as a capital, it's completely disqualified. As the capital of a province, it should have the characteristics of an economic and cultural center at the same time, but unfortunately it can't do it at all. At first, I didn't think it was a newcomer, but when I looked at Rennes from a closer look, I found that although it had a large population, it was also considered to have a developed business. Even if the war was about to break out at this time, the merchants did not flee from Rennes in large numbers. But the huge city lacks nothing, nothing like the exuberance of Desmond, not even the newly revived Dublin.

The world is decaying, and it is in dire need of a true savior to save it. In the karmic fire of King Ming, everything ushered in its own new life in the burning. 】

[1. Yes, you're right. Hit the nail on the head. 】

Sinloth said he had never seen such a brazen system. It's just a matter of boasting about yourself. There was only one option!

The earl was helpless, but he could only fulfill the mind of the ball of light. The first option was chosen. The ball of light flickered, and the round body hidden in the earl's black hair squirmed twice, and then there was no sound.

Was it reminding him of anything this time...... No, it's just a simple secondary seizure.

"Ellie, where do you want to go now?"

As a rare big city in this world, it is naturally impossible to visit all of them in one day. The father and daughter only walked along the city wall once, and by the way, they looked at the civilian area for a while, and they were already in the middle of the sky.

According to the habit of the little lazy Ellie, it should be to the business district at this time. Find a place to eat a good meal. To the Count's surprise, however, the girl chose an unusually tall building. Sitting on her father's shoulder, the girl's fleshy fingers pointed to the church in the distance, revealing a soft smile.

Would Ellie want to go and see the church?

……

Sinloth has a poor sense of Crucifixion.

Father Durodus was a steadfast believer, and although he was outwardly rude, his purpose was so naïve that it was outrageous - that is, to make all the wicked feel repentance in their hearts, to kneel before the Lord, and to return the whole world to a stable and harmonious world, as it was in ancient times, as the scriptures say.

Xanalott when she was getting serious. He is also a respectable elder. The precipitation of a thousand years is not idle, and the woman who has measured the entire empire with her feet is more experienced than any scholar in the royal capital who is known for her great knowledge—of course, this is when she is getting serious.

Both of the above can be considered friends of Sinloth. Despite their flaws, they have never been able to hide the shining points in them. Although he was a rabbit with red roots, the Count did not believe in any god from the bottom of his heart. But when I was a child, I was pressed by my mother to visit Xia Lulu of Mazu Temple. Still, a minimum of respect is maintained for these religious figures.

But, as said earlier. Sinloth had a poor sense of the Crusades - not from a conflict with Bishop Geruger, which could be said to be his own man.

In fact, except for the misunderstanding with Gelug. Although they were destined enemies, the Crusaders never had much to do with Sinloth. If there is any contradiction, it is ......

There are daughters who plant water and water the land, there are good daughters-in-law who plant good land, there are rotten daughters-in-law who plant rotten land, and there are no women who open up wasteland.

This is not the case in the original sentence, but after being translated by Sinloth, the meaning is not far from ten. The proverb that circulated between the commoners and the serfs has made many things clear.

In a territory, the lord always owns the most land, followed by the monks. The lords don't talk about it first, these monks can be described as poor and extravagant. The monks who are completely unproductive, and who make a living by cheating and oppressing the people at the bottom, will not be satisfied with those eleven taxes.

Durodus, as a fundamentalist, certainly disdained to do the same things as his peers, but that doesn't mean Sinlos didn't know anything about it. Desmond can't see it, but that doesn't mean it doesn't exist elsewhere.

The Earl, who knew the hardships of the commoners, hated such things.

But since it's Ellie's wish, there's no harm in going and seeing it. It's just strange that the church, which was supposed to be very lively, is deserted at this time. Not even the most basic goalkeeper, at least when Sinloth pushed the door in, he was not hindered in any way.

Squeak......

The heavy doors are slowly pushed open, in the style of Rennes, and there are no fancy decorations in the churches here. At this time, the windows in the church were all tightly closed, so that the sunlight outside could not penetrate at all. However, the interior of the church is not darkened, and thousands of candles illuminate the spacious church.

An elderly monk was standing in front of the Crucifix of the Savior, gazing silently at the ancient statue. As if hearing footsteps behind him, the archbishop slowly turned around.

Like most of his peers, the monk was bald, but he didn't wear the ornate robes of his peers. On the contrary, the monk with a cane in his hand and a brown robe looked a bit like the ascetics who were known for their masochistic penchant.

The monk turned, his fierce gaze sweeping over the count's father and daughter. The chill forced the hairs on Xinluos's body. Xinlos had also participated in several major battles, and the heavy killing intent and sticky smell of blood came from the other party's body. Where can I hide it from him.

"Whew!"

Elle was stimulated by this killing intent, and subconsciously hugged her father's head in a grief. Not so much a monk. Rather, it is the most bloodthirsty and aggressive dead soldier in the army.

The man dressed as a monk seemed to feel his gaffe, and he took a soft breath, and the strong oppression just now disappeared without a trace, everything seemed to be the earl's hallucination.

"May the Lord forgive me for my recklessness...... I'm sorry, both of you, but I'm the new Archbishop of Rennes. Because I just arrived here, many things were not ready. If you want to repent, please come back in a few days. ”

I'm sorry, but it's a good word. But the tone that came out of the archbishop's mouth was still cold and hard. This is like an apology, and it is clearly an order between the upper and lower levels in the army.

From the bishop's body, Sinloth felt a familiar smell - the same smell as that of Roland's master, the lady of Balalaika of the Tempest Three-Stringed Piano.

The iron and blood condensed through countless battlefields and ...... Powerful in its purest form. Even though the body has begun to age, the will as hard as steel is still impossible to underestimate.

The bishop in front of him was really a little suspicious, and Xinluo subconsciously glanced at his attributes, and almost stared out his eyeballs.

Groove ......

Cynroth rubbed his eyes. Convinced that he was not mistaken, he barely managed to squeeze out a smile and said to the new archbishop: "Your Excellency, I have recently suddenly become very interested in God...... I'm embarrassed though. But could you please preach for me? Of course, it won't bother you for too long ......"

The archbishop looked at Sinlos suspiciously, after all, he had already issued the order to evict the guest. But the young man in front of him didn't even leave. However, there are not many young people who can face his murderous intent without fear in these years, and he is a newcomer. There's really no need to offend people. After thinking about it for a moment, the archbishop still nodded.

"In the presence of the Lord. All people are equal. As the Lord's Shepherd, I am only a little step ahead of you...... If you have to add an honorific title, please call me Bishop Alain. "I know your name is Alain, you ...... Perverted.

"I didn't work in Britannia before, so it doesn't matter if the way I preach might be different from what Britannia is used to?" Seeing the earl nodding, Alain took out his thick scripture: "So, let's get started." ”

Although the other party's request was very abrupt, as a clergyman, Alain's professional ethics were still good in the end. The bishop who was reciting the scriptures temporarily faded from the killing intent on his body, but he also had the appearance of a monk.

“…… And he said to Lot, Is there any other man with you? And thou shalt bring out of this place, whether it be a son-in-law, or a son-in-law, or any that belongs to you, or any that belongs to you. We will destroy this place, because the voice of sin in the city is great before the Lord, who has sent us to destroy this place......

"And when you have brought them out, say, Flee for your life." Do not look back, neither stand still in the plains, but flee to the mountains, lest you be destroyed. ”

"Lot, fearing to live in Zoar, went up with his two daughters from Zoar to live in the mountains. He lives in a hole with his two daughters. And the elder said unto the younger, Our father is old, and there is no man on earth who has come to us according to the custom of the world. Come, let us call our father to drink wine and sleep with him. So that we may have descendants from him......"

So they called her father to drink wine that night, and the eldest daughter went in and slept with her father. His father did not know when he would lie down or when he would get up...... The next day the eldest daughter said to the younger daughter, "I slept with my father last night, and tonight we will call him to drink, and you can go in and sleep with him." So that we may have offspring from our fathers......"

Sinloth listened to the old proverb and was silent. Ellie listened to the voice from the ancient and looked at her father and priest in confusion.

Is it right to help Dad leave an offspring? (To be continued......)

ps: It's time to barbecue...... Also, if I don't ask for votes, you really won't give qaq

Don't even give me a recommendation ticket!
