For a long time, the mountain people have grown in a low temperature environment, and this mountainous area is not mainly planted with wheat fields, and the mountain people have fair skin, and the appearance of men and women is very good.

In northern Italy and Central Europe, many nobles found mountain women as mistresses.

Mount Piri was the entrance to northern Italy, and clergy from Rome generally entered the valley to preach the scriptures.

But after the scriptures were transmitted here, there were some changes, and the monks here were closer to asceticism.

At the same time, they believe in the idea of protecting God's voice with a sword in one hand and a sutra protector in the other.

He trained more than the Romans.

They also communicated frequently, and these priests occasionally went to Rome, but they could not see the rituals and customs of the Christians in Rome.

Bran immediately saw a few mountain clergymen who had met in Rome, and nodded in greeting.

They were dressed in gray cloth and had no qualifications.

The priests also gave a mountain salute to Bran and his party.

After that.

"What are you still doing here, hurry up and pick up the Grand Duke!" Bergman gave the order, and several mountain men leaned over to Bran's side, and after politely greeting, stretched out their hands to guide them.

Bran and his grandfather patted each other on the snow, and Bran helped him in.

"Two highnesses, when you were at the bottom of the valley, I heard the villagers at the foot of the mountain report back, I didn't expect you to come up so quickly, I immediately arranged the room."

"Your Excellency (referring to Berkmman), thank you for your generosity."

By the time I went to Berkman again, it was already after noon, and the castle was small, but many of them were defensive and backed by a mountain wall.

If you don't do it well, you may get lost in the castle or even fall under the cliff.

It wasn't as spacious and comfortable as a flat castle, but Berkman, as the host, still prepared a brand new red carpet, dry napkins, silver knives and forks, and the best two barrels of wine.

Before Bran and the others went up the mountain, they had changed into the clothes of the mountain people to keep warm, but they were a little dirty and smelly, and now they had changed into a new and clean thick coat.

The steak in front of him was a pig sent from the foot of the mountain, as well as a simple boiled vegetable, and a few plates of mountain specialties, which Bran didn't know the name of. But it tastes good.

Talk about things during meals.

"A toast."

"Cheers."

Howard didn't attend, Carol watched over him, and the meal was attended by Bran, Jack, and Desley.

Berkman's servant, his eyes drifted to the yellow-skinned Desley several times, and the mountain people really rarely saw foreign black or yellow-skinned people from the far south, so they were a little curious.

"Your Excellency Berkeman, I have reopened the trading network, and in the near future, there will be a large-scale purchase of your gray bamboo."

"That's great, Lord Bran, but if you ask for too much, I may not be able to supply it for a while."

"How come, when I came up, I looked around, in addition to your Pirui Mountain, the neighboring valleys are also gray bamboos, I have calculated these quantities ......"

"Alas!"

With Berkman sighing, Bran stopped talking and waited to answer.

"You don't know, the cutting down of so many mangosteens, some of the bamboo forests at the foot of the mountain that are useful for covering, have been cut down, and even caused dissatisfaction among several mountain owners, each of our mountain lords is the leader of the Zurich mercenary group, and when the valley was held last week, seven valley lords disagreed, and I continue to do so. If you can convince them personally, that's great. ”

In fact, Berkman said the opposite, only four of the more than ten valley lords were clearly opposed for other purposes, and the others all tasted the benefits of the gold coins given by Berkman, which could be used to buy all kinds of materials and live a better life as a lord.

But at the conference, Berkman deliberately made them object, so that there was a name to raise the price with Bran, and gray bamboo was the most important paper-making material, and Berkman also had some information.

Ambition makes a man want to progress – he wants to be the only mountain owner.

In fact, once something is purchased in large quantities, it is natural that some people will want to find out the truth and fake, and there are no secrets in the world.

Bran had wanted to farm in peace—but found it impossible.

Take the Ottoman tiger Gramiyan, for example, in a few years, many small tribes were annihilated, and the purple royal family looked at it and tried desperately to block it, and also took advantage of the civil strife between the Ottoman father and son to support the Tatar dragon in the Black Sea, adjust the layout of the country, and no longer compete with Jerusalem for the commercial rights of the "Eastern Mediterranean".

After Heyderian was "exterminated" by Lujo II, as soon as the neighboring forces received the news, most of the merchant ships and pirates in the northern countries, as well as Viking warriors, almost swallowed up the entire commercial power of North Francia.

As soon as Chaisu moved the Roman navy, the pagans of the entire Western Peninsula thought that the light forces were divided, and began to counterattack in the most difficult "Port of Ceuta" on the peninsula.

The situation is changing rapidly.

Bran didn't speak, and took a bite of pork.

"Death asks for money," Bran said secretly in his heart.

Although the contract was signed, it was just a piece of paper. Whether what Berkman said is true or not, catch it.

"Those valley lords, let me visit with you."

Bran also took the opportunity to get acquainted.

"That's great, I think you'll be able to convince them."

"Cheers."

While drinking, Berkman found some good-looking mountain girls.

Bran didn't refuse, and after experimenting with the food, Bran ate a little of the wine that the mountain girl fed, and let it be served.

That night, when Bran was bathing in the mountain hot springs, a mountain girl with status came to visit Bran's room.

"Who is it?"

"It's the sister of the mountain lord, and she said she knew His Highness."

"Come in."

Since she was a woman, it was not easy to search her body, so she let this mountain girl in.

After the guards briefed, Bran shouted in.

The mountain spring moisturizes the body, and Bran opens her eyes lazily, and is a very attractive woman.

There is a wildness to this beauty.

It is the unique feeling of the mountain people.

This woman is Berkman sister, Gana.

She was once promised to the Austrian nobles, and later the nobles were killed in battle when they went to the northeast to fight against the Slavs, and the noble Xihuan man, who did not touch himself, was still "perfect", this marriage was exposed by other family members, because they did not have sex together, and in local doctrine, it was not recognized as a complete marriage.

Unable to inherit her husband's rights, and if she stayed, she would marry another nobleman, and she chose to return to the mountains.

The dowry she brought back bought three mountain fields and a house, and her life was quite stable.

But recently, there was a mountain master who he hated very much to marry him.

She knew that Berkman would agree, and she had to do the same for the sake of the family.

But before that, she wanted to find a man she liked......

Last year, she took refuge from the cold at the bottom of the valley and took care of some villagers.

Sometimes at the foot of the mountain, some wild game will appear, when a hungry wild boar rushes into the "fence" that has been set up.

When a child is about to be injured, Gana rushes over to protect it, when it is dangerous!
