Chapter 303: The Eve Story
"..... what are you doing there?"
The name of the city of Avignon is not unfamiliar to Jonas, and there is no way to be unfamiliar, after all, this city is the only city that has imprisoned the pope, and it is also built specifically for the imprisoning of the pope, which is really rare in the era of theocracy. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Similarly, during this era, the city of Avignon also had the heavy responsibility of keeping the Pope of Rome under house arrest in Avignon for 300 years, until the death of King Louis XVI of France, which led to the decline of France's military and political power.
His Majesty the Pope, who had been imprisoned for 300 years, used strong external pressure to force the French royal family to release him, and since then, the isolated city, where everything needs to be transported from the outside, has gradually disappeared into history.
Now, more than two hundred years have passed, and Avignon has long since become an ordinary town, only about two or three thousand people, and there is no longer as magnificent and majestic as when the French royal family was in power, Gabriel is going there, and Jonas really does not know what is worth going to Father Nader.
"I, I don't know, it's Father Nader who says I'm going, I'm just accompaniing. “
Gabriel didn't answer Jonas's question, he wasn't lying to Jonas, he really didn't know why he wanted to go to Avignon, but after Elizabeth said that he was going to Avignon, he was also desperate to follow, and he used this big ship to tempt Nader and Elizabeth, so he followed them out to sea.
It was three days ago, six hours after Nader and Elizabeth said they were going out for a casual stroll, Gabriel had not gone to sleep, tossing and turning in bed and could not sleep, and he was always worried that Nader and Elizabeth would be in danger if they went out so late.
Although this is the city of Rome under God's care, as a native, Gabriel knows very well that poor people don't care if God is watching him when they are about to starve to death, and the poor are basically a necessity in every city, and the reason why they can't see is just because they are driven to a place where you won't go.
But coincidentally, Nader and Elizabeth's familiarity with Rome is definitely inferior to their own, in this era without GPS navigation, as long as they take a slight wrong step, it is very likely to walk into those slums, and if they just take some money at that time, it will be forgotten, but if they see Elizabeth's petite and cute appearance, they want to stew her directly to make dog meat hot pot, with Father Nader, an old man who has no defense, Gabriel is really worried.
The innocent Gabriel never thought that Nader was lying to him, and completely took Nader's words seriously, thinking that they really went out to wander around, and he didn't think at all, what normal person would go around the streets in this black light and almost to the curfew time?
"If only I had followed along. “
The naïve Gabriel was worried and blamed himself, and all this was due to his love for Elizabeth, yes, Gabriel never minded his love for a dog, and this love really kept him awake, and finally got out of bed two hours later, put on his clothes and went downstairs.
He was going downstairs and waiting for Elizabeth and them to come back.
For four hours, Gabriel had to endure not only the sleepiness of tiredness, but also the adoring eyes of Miss Teemo beside her, and the greetings that came from time to time, the latter of which was even more painful for Gabriel.
As an adult, and a standard gentleman, although Gabriel has no experience in love, he is still very clear about whether women like him or not, this is a skill brought to him by his life circle, whether it is good or bad, he has to accept it.
Therefore, Timothy's hasty actions and attentive eyes immediately made Gabriel understand Dimo's intentions, which suddenly made Gabriel a little uncomfortable.
As mentioned earlier, he can understand women's overtures to him, but as a novice, he doesn't know how to reject a woman, especially a girl who is so enthusiastic that she is like a dog skin plaster....
"Mr. Gabriel, your coffee is already cold, let me change it for you. "No, thank you, Miss Timo. “
"Mr. Gabriel, you see it's almost 4 o'clock in the morning, why don't I make some dishes for you to eat, what do you like?" "I'm not hungry, thank you. “
"Mr. Gabriel, may I call you Gabriel instead of Mr. Gabriel?" "Whatever you want. “
"Gabriel, my name is Teemo, and I'm the sister of the owner of this shop, and it's a pleasure to meet you. "Yes. “
Timo, who was happy to see the hunt, didn't notice the increasingly impatient expression on Gabriel's face at all, looking at Gabriel's face, oh, the twisted eyebrows were really full of manhood, and he looked extraordinarily mature, not at all like those peers in the countryside, who looked vulgar and naïve.
And the corners of the mouth that are pursed downward, it is full of aristocratic pride and honor, it looks so majestic and admirable, Timo thinks sweetly in his heart, this is the man he fancies, thank God, let such a perfect man appear in my life, oh, my God, thank you so much.
Timo went back and forth sentence by sentence in Gabriel's unhappiness, and the scope of the conversation began to gradually widen, from the topics that the landlord and tenant should have slowly shifted to a bit like a private topic, such as favorite things, usual work, hobbies in life, and family parents, at this moment, the good-natured Gabriel suddenly broke out in his heart impatience, and said:
"Miss Teemo, I don't need you to take care of me here, I'm sitting here just because I'm worried that Father Nader is out there, not to talk to you, and if you continue to talk to me, then I'll be sorry to let my soldiers surround this place, what will it bring to your hotel, I think you must know, now, please go to your counter, don't bother me again." ”
The topic of personal privacy is a topic that belongs only to teenagers, and Gabriel is naturally the same, even his parents are no exception, in Gabriel's heart, these questions can only Elizabeth ask, and he will answer them, but Timo regards Gabriel as his own man, and then asks so loudly, Gabriel is naturally unhappy.
Coupled with her mouth that has been nagging for hours, Gabriel is also a noble child, and although he can't be called contempt for low-level people like Timo, it is normal to have a sense of psychological superiority, so under this double background, Gabriel said very heavy words like never before, which was the first time under his self-controlled body.
"You, this, I'm sorry, I just wanted more. ”
Timo never expected Gabriel to have such a big reaction because of his own problem, and he froze there all of a sudden, looking at Gabriel's cold face, Teemo realized that Gabriel didn't like him at all, and everything he did was just wishful thinking.
A girl's admiring heart was shattered on the spot, tears flowed down the stream, wetting her youthful freckles, crossing the corners of her bitter mouth, tasting a hint of saltiness, and then rolling into the air, blown into cold tears by the cold part, floating into the buttons, dripping on the heart, freezing the heart coldly, Gabriel looked at Timo's heartbroken appearance, and the scene was very embarrassing for a while.
Gabriel had only learned how to persuade the girl he liked not to cry, for example, if Elizabeth was angry, his method of persuasion was to kneel down and hit himself, well, this was the secret of admitting his mistake that his father taught him, according to his father, this trick was tried.
But in the face of a girl he didn't like, kneeling and beating himself, Gabriel didn't want to lose this face, until Timo's brother, Schubert, got up from the bed because of the sound of Gabriel and Timo talking, and went out to see Timo crying and walked over, which was considered to resolve the embarrassment.
For his sister's thoughts, Schubert understands very well, looking at the current situation, Schubert doesn't have to think about it, he knows that Timo has failed to confess, looking at Gabriel who made his sister cry on the side, Schubert can't say words of reproach, after all, people are nobles, his sister is just a commoner, she likes nobles, she can't do it herself, where does he have a reason to do Gabriel.
The limit of what he could do was not to apologize to Gabriel.
Timo was taken aside by Shuberta, and Gabriel looked at everything empty in front of him, and his heart was finally a lot more steady, but before he could take a sip of coffee and slow down, Nader and Elizabeth walked in, and looked at Nader, who was mostly covered with dust and his original gray robe turned black, Gabriel was shocked, and quickly trotted over and asked:
"Father Nader, I, ahem, what's going on, didn't you go out to get out of your mind? How is this like digging coal? Did you go to the slums?
Gabriel was about to blurt out the name Elizabeth several times, but when he saw that Schubert and Timo were still next to him, Gabriel could only force himself to swallow the name, but although he kept saying Nadernade or something, his eyes did not stay on Elizabeth for a moment, and the comparison with Miss Timo before was completely miserable~~
Fortunately, God really blessed Teemo this time, so that she did not see Gabriel's gentle eyes, otherwise it would have been a very sad thing for her to know that she was not as good as a dog.
"Oh, we're fine, we just accidentally fell while shopping, and Elizabeth wanted to pick me up, so I didn't come back until now, which really worries you. “
Nader casually said that Gabriel shouldn't know about the sewers and couldn't know.
"So, Mr. Nader, are you okay now, do you need to see a doctor for you? “
Gabriel believed Nader's explanation, after all, in his eyes, Nader looked very elderly, and he didn't look like he could deceive people, but he had to say that he was still too young, and he seemed a little naïve.
"No, Mr. Gabriel, I'm going to go back to Elizabeth's room now to wash up, can you wait a little longer. Gabriel quickly shook his head, now he just wanted to leave the city of Rome as soon as possible, where he had the time to go to any hospital, and if he was sick, let Elizabeth cure himself after he got out of the city.
"Yes, then you should go wash up first. Before he could finish speaking, Elizabeth and Nader ran up the stairs and into their room, and after a while, they came out with two of their servants, and Gabriel looked at the many burdens on his servants, and his heart sank, and he hurried over, stopped Nader's way, and said anxiously:
"Father Nader, where are you going?"
"Well, my lord has told me to go back, and I must hurry back at once, Mr. Gabriel, thanks to your care for this time, and if we have time, we will come back to the city of Rome to thank you. With that, Nader let Elizabeth get into the carriage first, and seeing that the servants had fixed their things, Nader was about to stride when Gabriel grabbed him by the arm and grabbed him back.
"Why are you in such a hurry?!Father Nader, you're in too much of a hurry?!"
Gabriel was a little incoherent, he couldn't accept this fact at all, looking at Elizabeth sitting in the carriage, Gabriel's heart wanted to call her name and ask her why she was leaving, although Nader's departure had nothing to do with Elizabeth, but Gabriel still wanted to question Elizabeth.
Maybe he just wanted to use this opportunity to say something to Elizabeth that he had been hiding for a long time.
But reason was still telling him that he couldn't call Elizabeth's name in front of so many people, he could only grab Nader's hand and repeat it over and over again, it was too hasty.
At this moment, Gabriel's mind suddenly had a flash of inspiration, grabbed Gabriel's hand, and said seriously: "Where are you going, I want to go with you!"
"After that, Mr. Nader agreed, and we got on the ship, and then something happened, and our ship sank, and it floated on the sea, until now, Mr. Jonas, that's why Father Nader is on my ship, is there anything else you want to ask?"
Looking at the child in front of him, Gabriel finally said, and the whole story was presented in front of Jonas. (To be continued.) )
