043 Blue-blooded nobles
This document shows one thing, the Latins did not look down on Xitai at all, because there were at least twelve countries that were named the guardians of the southern border, and as long as they could pay tribute to the Latin Na, they would be given nominal titles.
After being included in the tributary circle, although it will be protected by the military protection of the Baiting Empire, if you really ask for help, the price you will have to pay afterwards is extremely high.
Officials warned that failure to accept would be to despise the Bytin Emperor and that all trade between the two countries would be interrupted, but Sayid was finally reluctant to accept the paperwork, and engaged in piracy, secretly robbed five Latin merchant ships, made up for the losses, and continued to set sail, in order to avoid the pursuit of the Bytinian navy, he blackened the ships.
After starting to sail along the road, he had a general understanding of the kingdoms of the Earth and Sea, and also discovered that the Byting Empire seemed invincible, but its power was decreasing. Many countries took advantage of the Persian confrontation with the Bytins and suffered a great loss of tribute, and looked for more reliable and equal allies, and Seeid successfully concluded an alliance with three budding small states and four independent lords.
Half a month ago, the sailing route was getting farther and farther, and the ship entered the port of Marseille in the southwest of the kingdom of Gaul's sphere of influence, but the customs did not accept bribes at all, so they sent troops to drive them away, and the ship arrived in Aragon.
......
"Let's move on. After Said's departure, Tony continued to guide them, and then they went to the Two Sisters Hall.
The name is strange and is in honor of the twins?"
Not really, because there are two marble slabs as large as twins, and the balconies lead to the Patar Garden, and the lion atrium beside the garden is the lion atrium. Tony Dao.
"Young master, in the past, Madame used to read books here, and you have a perfect stalactite dome on your head. Dun Serge.
Randall looked up, and although he didn't see anything, he felt very empty, at least ten meters high.
"The lighting of the sister hall is very exquisite, the light comes from the small window on the side, so the dome looks like a beehive and like a beautiful and delicate flower, after the visit, I went to a few small places, except for the inconvenient back garden, there are three left, because it is late, only a simple dictation, a king's hall, the banquet will go in the evening, Tony will not introduce.
The remaining two places are a lion courtyard, and the pool is made up of 20 stone lions.
The pond leads out four small channels in four directions, representing the four rivers named the Water River, the Milk River, the Wine River, and the Honey River. In the Crescent Religion, there are 100 levels of paradise, and the distance between each two levels is like a distance from the sky. Paradise is the highest level, and the four rivers of Paradise gush from it, and above it is the ...... of the Allah throne that they believe in.
Young Tony spoke objectively, truthfully introduced the origins, and did not hesitate to praise the aesthetics of the Crescentists, and his tone was even more admirable.
"Hundreds of years ago, there was such art, and you can imagine that at that time, the civilization of Yili was flourishing. Randall Road.
"Yes, the infidels can fight more and more territory, which is enough to prove that they have superiority, our country should take their strengths, and should no longer rest on their laurels, the predecessors can-"
"Why didn't you say it?"
Consciousness said the wrong thing, and Tony's face turned red, and he stopped expressing his opinion, and whispered, "My lord, you just didn't hear?"
"What did you just say? I'm so distracted I don't hear it clearly, so let's say it again. Randall laughed.
Tony nodded and continued to explain the itinerary, the last place was the Bendah Hall, Tony said a few words casually and it was over, after listening to the introduction, Randall returned to the protocol room, Dumb helped to widen the clothes and said, "Bendla Hall, that is the bloodiest place in the palace, the eighth king, here killed one hundred and twenty warriors and two brothers and father, as well as all cousins, ascended to the throne!"
"So ruthless...... Eminem, after getting married, I will have children, what if one day, my relatives turn against me?" Randall said casually.
Dunbu was stunned, "No, no!" At the same time, he secretly scolded himself for talking too much.
......
The entourage in the peach forest just now, after leaving the garden, felt uncomfortable, covered his heart with his hands, and was disguised by two female officials in the palace, pretending to be servants, and sent out of the palace, there was a carriage waiting outside the palace, after the entourage entered the car, the coachman immediately kicked the dust away, and the soldiers guarding the curfew, after receiving the gifts, also forgot about it.
On the carriage, the entourage kept panting, and it was a little difficult to breathe, and it had been many years since such a long sentence could be uttered at one time!"
There was a very short man in the car, who took care of the entourage, and after a long time, the retinue regained his composure, felt sentimental, and began to cry ....... ”
......
As Randall returned to the Legation Hall to wait, an officer dressed as a Janissary appeared with a letter.
"Read. Randall Road.
Dumb took it.
“...... In addition, although I am in the way, the palace minister will still be difficult for you, and there is no way to hide, he will force you to perform at today's banquet to help the fun, please tell my cronies, among the seven arts, what are you good at? I will prepare first. ”
When the ship docked, a few of them left first, to contact their friendly officials in Aragon to avoid the unforeseen. This officer was ordered to be reminded here.
Randall thought for a moment, "I can't see, but there's a tune that I know very well, and I can close my eyes, please tell that adult." ”
"Okay. The officer immediately went back to report the news.
"Aragorn is so rude, will it be against you?" Dunbu said worriedly, young master, why didn't you take him this time, he is a member of the Adolf family, and he is in charge of the foreign affairs of the territory, if you bring him..."
"I have other ideas, don't mention him, although Aragon is now ruled by the "Maidonhi family", there are also supporters who are dissatisfied with us among the family, don't worry too much. ”
The King's Hall can accommodate four or five hundred people, and the ceiling is depicted with the statues of the kings of the dynasties, the earliest ceiling carved like a cave, the legendary saint of the Moon cultists lived in the cave, and was later filled in with glass beads, and the palace was extremely gorgeous.
Before attending the state banquet, Randall changed his costume again, which was an extremely bulky court dress.
The cloak, large sleeves, hats, and shoes are inlaid with beads and gorgeous embroidery, and the body is densely buttoned for decoration, and the pants are very tight, and the stockings are tight under the knees. This was Aragon's sartorial requirement for the beauty of men, which was different from the style of Gallic men who loved the simple servants.
When Randall entered, many eyes locked on him, he had just taken his seat, and immediately someone stepped forward to talk, seeking to know, from the day he set foot on the land of Aragon, about his deeds, spread among the nobles, the famous family who invented war chess, the maternal line is the royal princess, which is very attractive to the Aragonese nobles who value blood and call themselves "blue bloods".
Pulling open the wrist, the veins through the white skin seemed to be blue, so earlier, the nobles of the Erie Peninsula thought that the blood of the nobles was blue and not red, and after a long time, it evolved into a patent, and only the local native nobles deserved to enjoy this title.
It was also a custom that before the battle, they would raise their arms high, revealing their white skin, which could not hide their veins, and the blue veins that were clearly visible underneath, to show that they were pure and untainted by the dark-skinned pagans or the Moorish blood of the neighboring south, in order to lift the morale of the army.
"Lord Randall, I am the Viscount of the Kingdom, Piguda. ”
"Lord Randall, I am the Baron of the Kingdom. ”
"Lord Randall, I am the Earl of the Kingdom - Messiu"
The aristocratic officials who arrived first, a middle-aged man sat very close to the throne. His hair was curly, wavy, he had a trimmed goatee, his eyes were dark brown, he was dressed in a blue gown, and he had a black whale pin on his chest.
It was him just now, who sent someone to inform Randall, but at this moment he didn't go over to talk, for fear of arousing the suspicion of the McDonkey family, he was still accumulating strength.
"Young master, I saw the nobleman wearing the black whale emblem", he is..."
"Well, the most noble family of Aragon – the patriarch of the "Buga family" - "Simbak Don Buga".
In the past two years, Aragon's national strength has declined significantly, and the nobles who are familiar with the inside situation have already made plans, if they really can't hold it, Grad Province is a good refuge. So as soon as he sat down, one by one, the nobles came to talk to Randall, while opposite him, Said, who had arrived earlier than him, was much more deserted, just drinking a solo drink.
"My lord, they look down on us, and they only pay attention to the blind man, and they are also blind. ”
"One day, the army of Xitai will set foot on the land of the Yili Peninsula, and at that time, we will use this place as one of the accompanying palaces. ”
Looking around the field, Said's cronies were indignant.
