The psalmist reads the story,

"The Sword in the Stone is a legend that has prevailed in the North for hundreds of years (by its presence in England).

The invincible King Arthur found his wife adding a hat to him...... Choice, of course...... Hunt her down!"

This made the drinker laugh.

But the other identity of King Arthur's wife is that she is now a royal daughter in North Francia, and she fled back to her hometown, forcing Arthur to send troops south.

After a fierce battle, the king took back his dignity and forgave her. ”

"If only I wouldn't forgive."

"So you're not the king."

The drinkers quarreled again.

After being cuckolded, the nobles dealt with it in the highest manner, defeating your enemies by force and making them kneel, and making your unchaste wife kneel at their feet and beg for forgiveness, and finally the two of them wept together and said that they were sorry for you.

The demeanor of a king, nothing more than that!

However, after the "Battle of Forgiveness" was fought, the capital was betrayed and occupied by another young knight of the Round Table, Modre (Arthur's illegitimate son).

Arthur quickly returned to the army, the soldiers were tired, and the kingly demeanor could not be turned into military strength.

Arthur lost the battle, and after being besieged, he fled to a deep lake.

The king did not want to be humiliated and arrested, so he chose to jump into the middle of the lake and sleep together with the "sword in the stone" pulled out of the stone in the church cemetery.

People always like heroes, especially those who end in tragedy, and even though Modre was a "wise king" who ruled England with more lenient laws and lighter taxes than in Arthur's time, many still called him "the murderer".

“…… Arthur is dead, but his spirit is not extinguished, and there will be an orthodox prince who will return with a sword in stone, and he will behead the rebel king and rule Britain......"

This legend of the sword in the stone made Modray tremble all his life, and did not dare to abandon state affairs, so that England entered a golden age.

His successors after his death are still wise, but he and his successors are never remembered.

The Sword in the Stone is also a famous sword in the continent on the same level as the Seven Star Sword, and Bran is also familiar with this legend.

The last time the tavern poet sang Beowulf, he was praised by a knight who said that this was the true heroic story.

The poet looked at a few nobles who were not badly dressed at the moment, and thought about using this ballad to ask for some copper plates, but he didn't think that this time the reaction would be different.

The family coat of arms of these nobles, and the pure Greek with a childish pronunciation, would be clearly known by a learned scholar, indicating that they came from "Byzantium" and belonged to the command of a certain noble military town.

Hundreds of years ago, during the Dark Ages, Viking pirates appeared in Northern Europe, known as the Viking Rebellion.

During the Viking Rebellion, the Vikings wearing horns on their heads not only enjoyed the northern European coast, but also sailed south along the road, the Iberian Peninsula and even the waters of Asia Minor were invaded.

At that time, many small Mediterranean islands were still Byzantine islands, which were sacked by pirates, and at least 300 Byzantine women were taken away by the Vikings, and the Viking nobles even sent letters to Constantinople, which was a "friendly marriage".

This sows the seeds of hatred that will not wither.

Later, the British Isles were conquered and assimilated by the Vikings, so in the eyes of the Byzantines, the virtuous king "Arthur's kingdom" no longer exists, and the people on the island are all descendants of stinky barbarians, and they are full of lice.

The poet was not reconciled and decided to sing another passage of Beowulf.

A few minutes later.

“…… It's ugly. ”

This time the singing was better, and the voice was full of emotion, although many civilian guests did not understand, but they did not hesitate to give applause, but the aristocratic lords took a sip, but there was no indication of opening the money bag.

Just as the bard was about to respond to the audience's request, this group of nobles from the East, with a sense of wine, said, "No need to sing, let's talk about the recent events in the north." ”

The atmosphere is solemn!

Having returned home from a military campaign in Asia Minor, these nobles were assigned to Italy to deliver documents to several cities with commercial concessions recognized by the Empire.

Byzantium entered into commercial concessions with many cities on the peninsula, which protected them from the maritime intrusions of these commercial republics, and mutually benefited.

Florence was their first stop, and the event had not yet reached Byzantium, and they had only heard it when they had come ashore.

This major event is the "Humiliation of Canossa" that spread all over the continent later!

While Bran was helping with copying at the monastery, he also received some information from the clergy's sign language drawings.

He was also the first to know about this major event.

Canossa was a military fortress in northern Italy.

There are two parties to this matter.

Hederian Capet, Emperor of the Franks, King of Kings.

Luyo II, then Pope of Rome, Hand of God.

The two people at the top of the Bright World have a bad relationship for some reason.

Eventually, Heydrian's lead escort knelt at Fort Canossa twelve days ago!

In the ice and snow, he knelt for three days and three nights to repent, and on the fourth day he was forgiven by the then Pope "Luyo II", and personally appeared to give a kiss to express his forgiveness.

This matter is about to shake the world of light, but except for the nobles, the commoners do not dare to criticize the emperor and the pope.

The bard pretended to be stupid and said that he did not understand, and continued to perform other programs, and this group of nobles was not embarrassed, and they could naturally ask about it when they saw the nobles of the republic tomorrow.

After seeing Bran finish his last bite of the barbecue, Jack immediately called for someone to bring him a clean white cloth to wipe his mouth.

After taking a sip of water, Bran was satisfied, "Do you have a grasp of this matter?"

"I've communicated with Mrs. Meghan's intelligence network."

"Okay, let's go upstairs and talk."

Bran walked slowly to the top floor, the largest master bedroom.

There are eight luxurious rooms on this floor and a half, and one in the middle is for Howard, but he himself has only been there once.

The second largest room is for Bran, and the third room is reserved for visiting guests (Mrs. Meghan's side).

Then in order of size, Carol, Marlene, Iron Mountain, Simon, Jack, the house was very clean, and someone came to clean up the dust every day.

Before Bran changed his clothes just now, the table was empty, and when he came in again this time, a pot of steaming oriental black tea that had been brewing for a while was already ready.

The teapot is dyed with patterns, which is fine porcelain from the Orient, and the whole box of tea leaves was given by Mrs. Meghan.

Jack poured a cup of poison first, waited for a while, and then poured tea for Bran himself.

Last month, Mrs. Meghan had another conflict with the Pavey family, and several right-hand men were slashed by unknown people, so she is much more cautious about protecting the hotel now.

There are not only two strong men at the door to protect the inn, but there are also two mercenaries on the second floor.

On the street, there are five people staying in the neighboring store, ready to come over, and a closed guest room on the second floor has swords and weapons.
