"The city of Rome and the castle are like two sponges that are never saturated. You can inhale as much water as you want. Cross Christians from all over the world, every minute and every second, go to these two places, either for pilgrimage, or for residence, or for worship. Then you will be able to draw closer to God. The Apostolic Throne of Rome, the Patriarch of the Royal Castle, who is closer to God, the commoners and the nobles do not understand, they only know that they must come this time in their lives, and if they have spare time, they can also set their sights on Jerusalem further east. But it was already occupied by Christians and Gentiles. It is very dangerous, so it has become a popular occupation to ask people to go on pilgrimage. Accept the commission of a wealthy merchant or nobleman, pretend to be a Crescent Cultist, and blend in. Some were commissioned by military aristocrats or the Church to send people to the Holy City to check on the local situation. Each has its own purpose. In the summer of 869 A.D., a merchant convoy from Northern Anza carried paper, wool, and wood to the northeast of the Franks, and after entering Paris, the procession traveled to Italy via the Alps. They were full of confidence, and the way they ate and slept in the open, and half of the samurai regiment guarding them fell. Upon arrival in Rome. They stayed for another month and prayed to the Mother of the North. Half of the profits made from previous trades, except for expenses along the way, are now used. Roman monks called one

The northern woman of "Marm" began to pray for blessings. This is just a relay station for the caravan's journey, followed by the castle of King.

However, when the ships descended into the Aegean Sea in the Bay of Venice, they were forced to turn due to a storm and ran into pirates from the Eastern Mediterranean.

Pirates are pirates, and there is no mercy to speak of, whether in the Vikings or elsewhere. In the ocean, there is only a 5 percent chance of surviving in the face of danger.

After the fierce battle, almost everyone in the caravan was killed, and only one young man in the lead remained. Because he's okay to look at.

Among the nobles of the Gentiles, there were people who were like such foreign slaves. At the end of the vast ocean, it will stop in the Damascus area.

But perhaps the prayer in Rome made the heavens take care of it. The bandit convoy also ran aground in heavy rain, flooding the bottom of the ship and throwing away many unnecessary livestock goods.

The caravan master was thrown into the sea and became food for the Kraken's mouth. I don't know which of the driftwood floating by a shipwrecked merchant ship happened to hit him.

Inadvertently, he was caught. In this way, one person and one tree will be swallowed up by the waves at any time, but they will survive tenaciously.

Human life is as humble as grass, but it never falls. He came across another merchant ship. The people above, the flags, the language, the caravan owners did not understand at all.

When he woke up, the ship was already on the shore, lying on the bed. The captain of the caravan had a goatee, a shrewd face, and his fingers were calloused from holding a pen for a long time.

Wearing a kind of scarf that only pagans wear. The caravan master did not understand anything about what he said, but he understood one of them, which he learned when he went to the Aegean Sea to hide from the sword of the Crescentists.

"There is no God but Allah." Frankish, Latin, Slavic...... The foreign aristocratic captain, after recruiting seafarers and experimenting with his own studies several times, made sure that he could communicate in Frankish, and only then did he understand the identity of the shipwrecked.

The captain asked people to go down, quietly looked at the caravan owner, and introduced himself. Gentile names are very tongue-twisting, and even if translated into Frankish, they are a long list of syllables.

So the master of the caravan took a passage from the captain's syllables and called him secretly

"Yi Han" under the other party's life-saving grace and the desire to continue to live, the caravan owner introduced himself and called himself

"Reggie Ace". Then tell me all about the experiences along the way. Speaking of Northumbria from the north, this place is easy to hear.

Invaded by the Vikings, they have recently become more famous for their paper-producing products. If you can sell this wonderful and good-selling commodity in the Mediterranean, you can buy a castle in a few years.

In order to trade and survive, Yihan learned the language of the Crusaders and traveled between Venice and the Aegean Sea.

He likes to explore the unknown and has been to many places. He had not yet been to the land of England, and after meeting Regias, he came to look for it when he had time for three whole days, and asked everything in the north.

As a result, it was learned that the owner of Regias had asked him to make a pilgrimage to the south to heal his wife.

"You can't go to King's Castle, but you've come to the periphery of the Holy City." Hearing this, Regias realized that he could reach the Holy City by walking inland for three days!

If you can bring back a little souvenir of the Holy City, you will show that you have been there, and then return to England, maybe you will be crowned a knight by Your Excellency!

Regias is the younger brother of Bishop Ulf's lover, and thanks to this relationship and previous credit, he was able to secure the errand.

Because after His Royal Highness gave birth, his health disappeared, so His Excellency asked people to go to various places to pray for blessings. As for Oran, he doesn't believe in these things, but his wife does, and since you do, I'll send people to all the sanctuaries.

Hope you get better. By the way, it also allows these envoys to record what they know along the way, as well as to carry out contacts.

Regias didn't know that the Yihan clan was a believer in Christ, and that the Holy City had fallen and had not moved out, and although they pretended to convert, they secretly retained their faith.

That's why they are willing to secretly heal Christians. Regias was ordered to put on Gentile garb and study the scriptures so that he would not be caught.

In order to increase the other party's attention to himself, Reggie Ace deceived them that he was a relative of an important minister in the country.

Yi Han wanted to use Reggie Ace to tie up with England in the future and obtain the exclusive right to paper. Two months later, they traveled to the Holy City, prepared for the pilgrimage, and then turned back to the Mediterranean.

Once again, the god of misery haunted Regias. Infighting broke out in the holy city, and the Yihan clan still believed in the god of the cross because a relative was found praying.

This led to a pursuit, and under a single investigation, more were implicated. In the end, the Yihan clan was cut down like grass.

In the chaos of the Holy City, Reguias bravely took up arms and saved a minor nobleman, thus being sheltered and not losing his life.

He is a man with a talent for languages, in two months, he has learned a lot of short sentences, he can communicate a little, his complexion is not white, his eyebrows and eyes are closer to the Mediterranean and even West Asian races.

Perhaps the ancestor came from here in short, he went from a bishop's bookkeeper, caravan envoy, pilgrim, to samurai!

He had a new name

"Borot". What is a man's dream For some, to ride the fastest warhorse, to sleep with the wives and daughters of the enemy, to destroy the homes of heretics, to listen to the cries of slaves.

Brow was transferred again and became a member of a larger foreign mercenary army. In the north, he also fought the Battle of Repton, and before that, he practiced throwing every day, trying to kill countless Vikings.

Because of their family, twenty male elders died at the hands of the Ragna. Violence is the gene buried in his blood.

Forced to convert to become a Foreigner, that is just right, killing also Gentiles, evil devils, do not be merciful.

He didn't know if he could go back alive, so he could only keep holding the sword and becoming a cow and sheep, and let others drive him. Gradually, he learned the dialects of the two river basins.

Knowing that the world was big, big, dozens of times bigger than he originally thought. In the East, there are various archbishops.

On the steppe, the shaman who calls for wind and rain, in the mountains, the murderous priests, in the plains, the brahmins who are covered in gold and silver, the immortals, Shiva, Hubal...... Gentiles of all colors.

Brow began to document these experiences. He thought that if he could go back to see Your Excellency one day, he would give him this book.

In the battle of Repton, Breo should have died, because he was badly wounded, but Your Excellency said,

"As long as there is hope, then no one is missing!" Therefore, he was willing to take on the heavy responsibility of pilgrimage to help the hostess.

You also put your trust in yourself and gave you a lot of possessions to your fiancée and relatives.

"Regias, your fiancée will wait for you until the day you return, and whoever dares to insult you will die!" This is what Your Excellency said, which means that you will look favorably at your wife.

But if she doesn't go back, she will be widowed for the rest of her life! The first year passed, and the second passed, and Borough followed the army farther and farther, and the officers who led them said that they were to establish in the valley of the two rivers

"Regime". But he was defeated, running like a dog. When he entered Beitianzhu, he was intimidated by a group of white elephants.

Brow had never seen such a big one in his life

The "thing", like the moving hull of a ship, is really scary. The two river basins can't stand on it, the Tianzhu people are extremely vicious, and the climate there is too hot!

Many people died of illness. The remnants of the defeated army became local warlords in Central Asia. The army was divided, and several minor chiefs each led a team and occupied the hill as king.

During this time, Boro met the Khotanese, Uighur, and Tibetan people...... and those from the far east, who were exiled to the northwest

"Don". There was a Tang man who was of mixed race and had dark and yellow skin. He could speak the Uighur dialect and coincidentally had Uighur fugitives in his ranks.

There are many stories to be asked about. He said that he was born in the military family, and his ancestors were caught by big food merchants and caught in the Central Plains and became

"Kunlun Nu" is a thing for the pleasure of nobles. Her mother was a runaway prostitute with Hu Nu blood, and later became a female slave from a large family in order to make ends meet.

Because his father was born with great strength, after becoming a nurse, he was rewarded by his mother. With the chaos in the Central Plains, each section took turns to fight.

And also

"Nanshao" collusion

"Tubo", launched the third rebellion in the area of Jiannan Province. His father became a low-ranking officer, and he embarked on the road of military exploitation...... Nanshao is chaotic, and Jiedu is domineering, and Boluo can't understand these words.

Where are Chang'an, Luoyang and Guangzhou in the Central Plains, and I have heard businessmen mention these places. Everyone has a story that can be said to be long, long, endless.

Brow didn't ask him why he was here, he was here anyway. If you want to live, you can only fight hard. This new member with a black and yellow complexion has a lot of strength and dares to kill.

Brow let him choose his own name. He thought for a long time and said

"Ah Ku". Life was too hard, he had a sweetheart, but he was played by a literati who was admitted to the Jinshi department, and finally committed suicide.

Ah Ku had wanted to be

"Festival Marshal", take revenge for this. But later, this scholar offended the eunuch and was been

The "Shence Army" is chopped into meat sauce...... The hatred was not repaid, but it was repaid...... Bro is now a small leader, with more than 20 people, and the general leader of Bro is a nomadic warrior in Central Asia.

He believes in eternal life, and also believes in worshipping the gods of fire, and even the three-phase god of Tianzhu, the eastern prince and the western queen mother of the Tang Dynasty...... Anyway, whichever side of the incense is good for you, you can worship!

Their remnant army, relying on a little desire to survive, is always inexhaustible. Gradually, he gained a foothold and became a remnant of the Uighur leaders that could be used.

It was agreed that they would occupy a small base area. They operated in the western part of the Pamir Heights to the Chu River. The boss of this area is the Uighurs of the Green Mountains, and further east is the area of the Ganzhou Uighurs and the Tang Empire.

One day, they were ordered by the Uighurs to fight bitterly when cannon fodder attacked a defeated army that had entered their territory.

More than 400 people were killed and wounded! All they got was kindness from the Uighurs, who gave them a few bites to eat. But they can still protect themselves like this, and it's already good.

The elderly, infirm, and children in this war-torn area are even more miserable, and are sometimes cooked as food. If you are still alive after the battle, you will have a chance to get ahead.

Both Brow and Aku were promoted, and the chiefs asked them to recruit. Now Borough has become a real one

"Knight" nobles. After more than a year of horseback riding and foot fighting, he escaped death three times, turning him into an unrelenting warrior.

Ah Ku still hasn't changed much. He participated in the battle of Nanshao, he had seen people starving to death, he had seen cannibalism, all his family members had died, he did not know what he was living for, until one day, the Uighur merchants of the Green Mountains captured a herd of cattle from the east.

There are more than a dozen Tibetan and Tang faces. When they saw Ah Ku approaching the face of the Tang people, a skinny girl shouted for her eldest brother to save me.

Ah Ku bought her and gave her a bowl of rice soup. Life is too bitter, as long as a little sweetness can be warm, she finally eats once.

Look at the little girl who died in the end. Bitter angry, calm, irritable...... Finally, the person was buried and an inscription was erected.

He can write the characters of the Tang people. He pointed the grave in the direction of the Tang border pass.

"Fallen leaves come down to the roots...... "Ah Ku said this, Bolow didn't understand, but got used to it. He then carved the wooden inscription with a wooden knife.

"If it weren't for my background, Lao Tzu would have gone to take the examination of the scriptures...... Even Jinshi!" If he hadn't joined the army back then and took her away, the story might have been different, he also carved a lot of wooden tablets, facing different directions.

Most of them are the bones of fellow warriors, and according to what they have said in the past, they can determine where their hometown is, so as to choose their location.

"Poor and uncertain riverside bones, like a person in a spring boudoir dream." Ah Ku said to himself, no one understood. But he and Borot, both of them are drifting around, and although the language is difficult to understand, they have become friends to rely on.

Brow heard it for the first time

"Poetry", also put the west

"God's story" tells Aku. No one is more noble than the other, just a friendly sharing of what they know. However, often when the sun is about to set, the two look at different positions.

"Yijin wants to return to his hometown, and the fallen leaves want to return to his roots." It took Bolow a long time to learn to write these two sentences in Chinese with a very good meaning.

He wants to go back!
