Eagle Byzantium

Surprisingly, there was no butler in this mansion. Inglina smiled and opened the door with the key, and then she could only push it shut again with Gawain.

In the center is an upward staircase, with naturally separated corridors on both sides. With burning wall lamps, Gawain poked his head and looked inside. It was filled with boxes and packages. Inglina also used He closed his fingers to straighten his hair and answered Gawain's doubts, "On the shelf. There is salt in the box, and the box should be filled with silk and linen. This is an architectural style common to merchants in Venice and Constantinople. The first floor of the three-story building is entirely used to store goods and coins. This owner The house was really bold and heroic, just letting us in.”

Then, the two walked side by side to the second floor, which is mainly for people to live in. Now Gawain finally understood what "three-thirds" means. The entire second floor is penetrated by the central hall, and the side facing the sea is made of It is L-shaped and has an extended terrace with a pavilion. The other two parts are divided by the hall, with the kitchen and bedrooms lined up on both sides. The floors are all shiny Terrazzo marble, with bronze lampstands and mirrors, as well as the owner's weapon racks and various hunted items. Animal bones complement each other and are antique and elegant.

Looking out from the terrace, it was raining heavily at the ocean and waterways outside.

"Where's the rain again?" Ingrina said with a smile.

Then the two hugged each other and kissed each other affectionately...

The two of them slept in a simple and elegant small room on one side. After all, the master could return at any time. After lingering for a long time, they fell asleep together on the bed.

In his dream, Gawain saw Ajiehe with a cuckoo on his shoulder, standing in the clouds, walking towards him, "We are about to embark on a journey. The real journey, Gawain."

"Yes, according to your suggestion, I still have to pass by Constantinople." Gawain held the phosphorus fire sword in his hand. He now clearly felt that Artiehe's magic power was weakening, so he felt confident enough to speak. Quite a few.

"Well, fight well for your patron, Anna."

"You don't need to remind me of this. Gawain will definitely fulfill the oath between Anna and me."

"Then you can take Anna with you to go on an expedition now. I think this must be her, no, it's her wish..." Ajiehe smiled strangely and beautifully, then followed her. A poor little deer was pulled out with a rope and screamed at Gao Wen with brown eyes.

"Anna, why do you look like this!" Gawain recognized it at a glance, shouted in surprise, and rushed over to rescue the eldest princess.

But then his feet were in the air and he suddenly fell from the colorful clouds. Gawain's eyes opened wide, and with a violent heartbeat, he sat up from the bed.

"Are you calling the eldest princess's name?" Over there, the widow was also awakened. Pulled Gawain's shoulder.

"No, I'm fine...it's just a nightmare." After Gawain finished speaking, he wiped the sweat from his forehead and explained to Ingrina with a smile.

The rain in the whole city had already stopped, and it was already early in the morning. The two then heard exciting singing, and Gawain put on his robe. I opened the lattice windows on the side of the house and saw the city rooftops and towers standing beside the lagoon and sea water. The clouds in the sky are thick and overlapping. But soon Gawain saw several "spires" that were constantly moving, with the kind of loud singing that broke the clouds and rocks,

"The ocean is our wall,

The ocean is our bride,

The ocean is our mother,

When the farmer sows the seeds in the soil,

Venetians can only work and reap in the wind and waves,

The tracks are our plows..."

At this moment, Inglina also came over and hugged Gawain from the back. It turned out that this moving "spire" was the mast of a ship in the city's sea channel, and there was an old and tough man sitting on it. Lookout, just there in such a big way, The sailors on the deck below sang in unison. The old lookout passed by at the same height as the two of them. When he saw it, he laughed and shouted in Oi language, "Hello, guests who have come to Lido Lagoon." , the bad weather is over.”

After saying that, the clouds, which were originally as thick as black ink, suddenly burst into colorful colors. The red sun began to pounce on the sea area. The sea fog also drifted away in an instant. Thousands of sails suddenly competed on the entire sea, each pulling up. It follows different tracks, really like the tracks of a plow on a field.

"I feel like there really is a Lion of San Marco standing in the clouds." Ingrina said with a sigh, facing the clouds.

Gawain looked back and saw that the old lookout had disappeared, probably because he had slipped down.

"Gawain, can you tell me what your trajectory is?" The widow over there had already started to ask the next question.

"At first I just wanted to protect a village from being invaded and destroyed by war, but in the end I felt it was in vain. If you want to eliminate the flames of war, you must have power, and if you want power, you can only get it through blood and fire in this world. Ask for it. I am just like me at that moment, trapped in a helpless paradox... Now I have mastered a huge power, but it is not enough, not enough to protect a village. In fact, it’s pretty much what it takes to protect an empire.”

"In this way, your flight path will go through the entire ocean, and you have to fulfill what you said, the oath to Princess Anna, right?" Ingrina held her chin and leaned on the window sill, the sun shining on her The pupils shine like transparent glass, "What if you are eager to protect the Roman Empire, but His Majesty the Emperor hates your growing power?"

"Then fight side by side with me, fight side by side with the Jinshu Brotherhood, and defeat the emperor who is ignorant of current affairs." Gawain said boldly, and then held out the black silk flower, "There is no need for this flower or this color. Go on."

So Inglina smiled and threw the flower into the sky outside the city.

Suddenly there was a noise downstairs. Gawain turned sideways and said, "Could it be that the master is back? No, it seems to be the voice of the Schiavone people."

Gawain hurriedly put on his jacket and armor (this thing is much easier to put on than chain mail), then took the Turkic scimitar and the sword of phosphorus and told Inglina to stay still and not move. , and then walked to the stairs at the other end of the hall.

He saw a white-haired old man wearing a black robe and an imposing gold chain around his neck. He was closing the back door to block the shouts of protest from the Schiavone people. Then the old man turned around and looked up, and saw what he saw immediately. Gawain above, "Oh, welcome, honored guest from afar."

"It's you..." Gawain lost his voice and it turned out that this old man was the navigation lookout who was sitting on the mast just now.

If so, his speed (getting down the mast, changing clothes, jumping to the front door of this house) is really fast! (To be continued ~^~)
