This Northern Song Dynasty is a bit weird

Chapter 267
Hearing that Lu Sen was a mage from the east, everyone exclaimed.

Here in the Eastern Roman Empire, there is also a lot of 'research' on the occult.

Don't look at the fact that Christianity is now prosperous on the surface, but there are still other "theories" in private.

For example, the old man in the mountain who caused a headache for Christianity, or the shamanism from the East and so on.

The power of Christianity has been going up, but it has not yet reached its peak, and other sects and theories still have soil for survival.

Moreover, Christianity itself is divided into two 'thoughts', and there are occasional frictions. Therefore, Christianity's suppression of other sects is not as strong as it seems on the surface.

What's more, Lu Sen is a nobleman and mage from the East.

At this time, the Christian believers were not strong enough to say "except for me, other schools of thought are heresies". Moreover, the mainstream of the whole world at this time is: the east is strong, the east is rich, and the east is the real civilized place .

Nobles from the East are not subject to their Christian 'control'.

On top of that, they are also really interested in the East.

Domenico couldn't help asking: "Your Excellency Lu, may I ask which part of your occult major is astrology, alchemy, or ritual magic?"

After listening to Alizee's translation, Lu Sen said, "It should be considered alchemy."

The guests at the banquet all surrounded them, three circles inside and three circles outside.

All kinds of unruly, white, beautiful and ugly bodies are dangling around.

Domenico sat down, and he said sincerely: "Your Excellency Lu, can you perform alchemy from the East for us?"

"Then get a piece of gold that is two fingers wide and long, and two gemstones the size of a thumb." Lu Sen smiled and said, "I can make a simple amulet for you, Your Excellency Governor."

As the governor of Venice, Domenico is not short of money.

He motioned to the servant boy next to him, and after a while, a piece of gold and two gemstones were brought over.

Lu Sen put these two things in front of him, looked around at the people around him, and chuckled lightly.

And all the guests raised God to watch.

Lu Sen didn't do any magic tricks to cover it up, so he put these three things in his hands and activated the system formula.

White and purple rays of light began to flow in his palm.

This strange picture caused the surrounding guests to exclaim again and again.

After a while, these three materials turned into a gold bracelet inlaid with two precious stones in Lu Sen's hands!
"Is this the alchemy of the East? It's amazing."

The guests were all fascinated by watching. If you don't count the kind of "magic" that is nagging and blinding the eyes that you have seen before, the on-site production props performed by Lu Sen really made them all have a good time. put horizons.

Lu Sen put the gold bracelet on the table, and then gently pushed it in front of Domenico: "Please accept it!"

Domenico picked up the gold bracelet and looked at it for a while, and found that the workmanship of this thing was rough on the surface, just a round gold wrist wheel inlaid with two gemstones, but after actually touching this prop, he found that it Things are really unusual.

It feels smooth and round, and it feels moist and warm in the hand, not like metal, but like other things.

Domenico admired it for a while, and couldn't help asking: "Your Excellency Lu's alchemy is to make objects? Do you have other more magical abilities?"

Lu Sen motioned him to put it on.

Domenico complied.

Lu Sen said with a smile: "You cut the palm of your hand with a knife!"

Domenico was a little confused, so the other guests couldn't understand, but the miraculous scene just now gave Domenico a kind of "confidence". He picked up the knife, hesitated for a while, and gently held it in his hand. It was cut a bit.

Not too hard.

Domenico has also practiced swordsmanship. Although he is not proficient, he is much better than ordinary people.

It stands to reason that this kind of forceful cutting should cause a small bloodshot to be drawn in the palm of his hand.

But the sharp table knife was cut in the palm of the hand, as if it had cut a piece of hard and elastic 'leather armor'.

In fact, in terms of texture, it is more like the feeling of cutting into rubber, but there is no such thing as rubber for the time being, so he can't describe it accurately.

And in the palm of my own hand, I didn't feel the sharpness of the outer knife, as if something blocked the knife from directly cutting into his skin.

"This!"

Domenico was very simple, he tried again, this time with much more force, the people next to him could see that the knife had sunk a lot into the skin.

But when the knife was cut out, the skin on the palm of his hand was still fine, but there was a shallow white mark!

"What is this, the legendary magical item that can protect the body?"

"There's nothing wrong with that understanding." Lu Sen smiled.

Domenico threw down the table knife and lightly pressed the gold bracelet on his left wrist. Getting this thing was a treasure to him.

As a 'soldier', he is too aware of the importance of armor to himself, even more important than weapons.

Armored fighters and unarmored fighters have two different levels of fighting power.

Moreover, due to the existence of the mysterious organization 'Assassin', all the high-ranking crusaders believers have a cool feeling on their necks.

And besides Assassin, there are other assassination organizations.

For example, cultivated by political enemies.

This world is very dangerous, every day you kill me, I kill you.But people can't wear armor all the time, but if they have this thing... I can't say it can be compared with armor, but at least it is a powerful life insurance.

"You actually gave me such a precious treasure." Domenico bowed and gave a gentlemanly salute. He looked at Lu Sen: "From today on, His Excellency Lu is the most honored guest of our Domenico family."

Lu Sen clasped his fists in return.

At this time, the guests next to him were excited, and they all understood the function of this gold bracelet.

"Honorable Mr. Lu, can you make one or two more magic items like this? I will pay a high production fee."

"Apart from bracelets, what other magic items can you do, Mr. Lu? Is a necklace okay?"

"Does Mr. Lu have time to visit my house? My wife and daughter are all beautiful."

All of a sudden, the guests asked Lu Sen in a rush, and they got closer and closer, as if to 'snatch' Lu Sen away.

At this time, Alizee said to Domenico: "Dear governor, my master is a little tired."

Domenico nodded to show his understanding, then he turned around and shouted: "Gentlemen and beautiful ladies, today's banquet is over, please go home carefully and stay safe."

"Governor, you are so...snobbish."

"Governor, can I stay? You and the honored guest from the East can play with me as you like, I have no objection." It was a plump woman who said this.

"You can't monopolize the honored guests from the East, Domenico. Our two families have a brotherly covenant. Whether it is disaster or good luck, we should share it."

In short, the guests felt very unhappy and wanted to stay.

It's rare to meet an oriental mage who really understands magic and can make 'magic items', who doesn't want to make some connections.

But no matter what they say, Domenico still drives them away.

It took nearly half an hour before all the guests were sent out of the courtyard.

Asked the servants to close the door, and then Domenico wiped the sweat from his forehead. He sat opposite Lu Sen, took a few breaths, and after taking a breath, said: "Your Excellency Lu, do you have something to do?" want to talk to me."

This governor is very smart. Of course, the person who can guard the richest city in the entire Eastern Roman Empire is naturally not a fool.

Lu Sen nodded and said, "Sure enough, I can't hide it from Governor Domenico. This time I came from the east to hunt down a traitor."

"Traitor?" Domenico's eyes moved slightly, and he asked, "What is his relationship with you?"

"Same race."

Domenico nodded slightly, and then asked again: "Give me such a precious treasure, so Your Excellency Lu hopes that I can help you find information?"

"That's true." Lu Sen said, "That's a woman, but I can't describe the specific appearance to you."

"why?"

"Because she doesn't have a fixed appearance." Lu Sen said helplessly: "She changes her appearance every once in a while, and no one knows what she will look like next!"

"So powerful?" Domenico didn't think it was too strange, because he thought that 'makeup skills' could also do similar things: "Then how should I find out about her?"

Lu Sen replied: "If there is no accident, there will be a big tree and a woman beside her."

While talking, he took out the hibiscus tree and the portrait of Lu Xianxian from the system backpack.

The appearance of the hibiscus tree is completely different from ordinary trees, like a huge umbrella, so it is very easy to identify.

If there is no accident, there should be a Qingqiu fox next to the real whale patient. She must also look like Lu Xianxian, so as long as you take out Lu Xianxian's portrait, there will be no problem.

Domenico was surprised when he saw the hibiscus tree first. He had never seen such a strange big tree before, so he couldn't help but said, "Could it be that such a magical tree is the legendary World Tree?"

"Maybe." Lu Sen said with a smile: "I don't know much about the mythology of your Roman Empire."

Domenico laughed softly, and then he saw Lu Xianxian's portrait, and he held his breath immediately, and he let out a long breath after a while.

"Such a beautiful woman, could it be that she is the goddess of your Eastern Kingdom?"

"Almost!" Lu Sen nodded: "That's her identity. But what I'm looking for is her younger sister. The two sisters look exactly the same."

Qingqiuhu is considered a fox fairy, so it is not a problem to say that she is a goddess.

Lu Sen then handed the two pieces of drawing paper to the other party, and continued: "Of course, I didn't let the governor do coolies for nothing."

He took out a bolt of silk from the system backpack...the finest kind.

Seeing this piece of silk, Domenico's eyes widened.

One was surprised where Lu Sen took out such a large roll, and the other was surprised that so much silk could probably buy half of the city of Venice.

"This is the finest silk, which is exclusively used by the royal family, and ordinary people are not qualified to use it." Lu Sen stuffed the silk directly into the other party's arms, and continued: "The silk that your merchant bought from us is actually inferior. .”

Domenico was shaking all over.

He has seen silk before, and he has also touched it. Every piece of clothing he owns is made of silk, but compared with the roll in his hand, the texture is like heaven and earth.

Even a layman like him can tell the difference between the two silks.

In fact, what Lu Sen gave him was indeed a special offering from the royal family, and it was sent by the King of Runan County from Bianjing City.

Lu Sen has no interest in this thing, isn't the rainbow silk at home more fragrant than this thing?
But in the end it was my father-in-law's wish, so I had no choice but to accept it.

Seeing Domenico's excited appearance, Lu Sen said with satisfaction: "This is just a deposit. If the governor can help me find information related to these, my reward will be this amount!"

Lu Sen opened his hands.

"Ten volumes!" Domenico took a deep breath, he was extremely serious, and even said with an expression almost swearing to the 'God': "Your Excellency Lu, please rest assured that even if I try my best, I will Bring the news you want."

"Thank you." Lu Sen cupped his fists and said with a smile, "I'm waiting for the good news."

Is silk expensive?
Royal special offer, it is reasonable to say that it is quite expensive.But in fact it is not expensive, because no matter how expensive or the best silk, it is impossible to be more valuable than 'military expenses'.

If Lu Sen wants to find some clues and things here in Italy, he must rely on a large number of people, and the army is the best helper.

Be organized and count!
Besides, as the governor of Venice, the Domenico family is well-known throughout the Eastern Roman Empire and has a very wide network of contacts.

Wouldn't it be more convenient to inquire about something than Lu Sen, an outsider?
After stroking the silk for a long time, as if he was stroking the most beautiful lover, Domenico was finally willing to give the roll of silk to his trusted servant boy.

Then he smiled awkwardly: "I'm really sorry for neglecting Your Excellency Lu. Next, Your Excellency Lu plans to go back to the hotel to rest? Or, just stay here with me."

Lu Sen shook his head: "You are too polite, I'd better go back to the hotel to rest."

"Your Excellency Lu, you are a distinguished guest. If you are still asked to go back to sleep in the hotel, people in the whole of Venice will laugh at me if the news gets out." Domenico was a little embarrassed, and then he suddenly thought of something and laughed He said: "How about this? I have a small manor in the inland area of ​​the north of the city. Although it is not big, it is better than quiet and warm. I will present it to Your Excellency Lu so that you will have your own house to rest in." , There will be no feeling of being displaced and dependent on others. I think I should be able to sleep more comfortably."

Lu Sen thought it was okay, so he smiled and said, "Then I would like to thank the Governor."

A manor is quite valuable, but the silk that Lu Sen gave to the other party can buy at least [-] small manors here.

So, Domenico didn't feel distressed at all.

Instead, he felt that he had made a lot of money.

After the two chatted for a while, Domenico asked his servants to drive the carriage and sent Lu Sen to the manor in the north, and at the same time offered the deed to him.

After Lu Sen left, Domenico began to draw up formal invitations. This time, he was going to hold a grand banquet and invite the governors of the surrounding cities!
Show them this real roll of silk, reserved only for the emperors of the East.

To put it simply, he is going to act aggressively throughout the Eastern Roman Empire.
