Eagle Byzantium

The fleet moved back and forth five times very smartly, and finally it was under the eyes of the Zahas pirates - they had infiltration lairs in some peaks and caves on the coast of Gallipoli, and brought seven hundred soldiers, plus three Thousands of civilians were transported to the Gallipoli Fortress.

The half-tired Amalfi sailors were too lazy to receive the reward of drinks, so they crowded together with the equally tired "boat passengers" to lie on the beach, wrapped in clothes and blankets, and fell asleep.

But the guarding officer had to go all the way to the Gallipoli Fortress and ask for permission from the local garrison commander.

At first, the Grand Duke commander was very nervous, thinking it was a large-scale invasion by the Zahas pirates, and was just about to send a horse to the imperial capital to request support, but after seeing Diognis, his heart finally calmed down, "Now Many refugees have arrived from Asia Minor, and Your Majesty has learned of Sultan Konya's treachery, so you will temporarily settle down in Gallipoli and form a camp with the garrison, waiting for His Majesty's benevolent deeds to be resettled. "

"I still need two directions to the imperial capital. I want to report important matters to the Lord!" This was Diognis's second request.

As the sun rises, soldiers and refugees have already built docks, trestles and tents under the fortress. The biggest hardship now is the extreme shortage of supplies. Things from Peloponnese and Thessaloniki cannot be transported. Many people They can only live in crowded places, but compared with the situation in Xiaoya, it is considered to be particularly superior. Desiderius, the Nicaean patriarch, stood on the road beside the camp, kissed Gawain and Diognis, and gave them his personal letter to the emperor, wishing them a smooth journey to the imperial capital.

While walking, Diognis's eyes were fixed on the city wall on the land side of Gallipoli City and the top of the monastery tower protruding from it. "I understand it completely now, so let's go and see, the Holy Monastery of Gallipoli" ”

"Is it about Cabeamiya?" Gawain asked.

"It is really unimaginable that the secret power of the Paulists has penetrated into every corner of the empire, whether it is the rough countryside or the magnificent palace."

"That's also because the churches in your empire are too comfortable and decadent. These heretical sects are the product of the changing circumstances. Once faith requires financial burdens and exploitation, some radical believers will find another way and demand the liquidation of this kind of religion. A corrupt old system that demands too much. Sometimes orthodoxy wins, but sometimes heresy comes to power, round after round, and this is where the battle between orthodoxy and heresy comes from.”

The officer simply couldn't imagine that Gawain, a barbarian, could express his views and introduction to religious beliefs. Although it was so harsh to hear, he couldn't refute it. However, Diognis also learned a lesson during this period, that is, when faced with Gawain's strange remarks, it is best for him to remain cold and silent.

This time, the two of them traveled lightly, so they traveled very fast. In the town of Qili on the outskirts of the imperial city, Gawain suddenly asked to stop. Then he walked to the location of Amalfi's branch chamber of commerce here, and relied on the receipt. He easily took out a sum of money and hired sixteen bearers, two bearers, and twelve idle men holding fire poles to carry the luggage and boxes.

"What are you doing?" The always simple and strong guard asked with some panic after being pressed down on the soft cushion of the shoulder bag. His butt was awkwardly nowhere to rest.

"I want to enter the city as soon as possible, it's that simple." After saying that, Gawain found two businessmen from the Amalfi Chamber of Commerce and walked into the Jewish neighborhood of Qili Town. It didn't take long before he walked out solemnly holding a box. .

Around the afternoon, Diognis walked out of the palace in front of Giucentina Palace first. Then he turned back to watch Gawain walk out, but the next scene shocked him - Gawain was wearing a Frankish monk's robe. Wearing a large robe, wearing an icon pendant and a gilded cross, and holding the mysterious box in his hand, he got off the shoulder carriage.

The arrogant military judge and porter in front of the palace saw this man and came forward very surprised and asked where he came from. Gawain looked enigmatic and kept talking fiercely in Ooi while shaking the box. , very excited.

At this time, Diogenes also opened his mouth. The military judge and the porter were confused and kept asking him to explain and to check what was in the box.

At this time, an Amalfi businessman came over and handed Diognis a document with Greek content on it, which meant that he asked the captor to read it to the two people in front of him.

"This monk is an envoy from the Monastery of Monte Cassino..." After reading this, Diognis frowned and looked at the serious-looking Gawain next to him, "Bringing the credentials of the monastery, and For the wife of Mikhail, the captain of the emperor's archery guard, the lady Eudocia Nistas, a lady in palace robes, brought a sacred object to pray for childbirth, fertility, smooth delivery and the sure birth of a boy... ..” (The Abbey of Monte Cassino has always been a big patron of Amalfi)

Diognis, who was proficient in writing, scratched his head and scratched his head for the line of letters under "Holy Object". He really couldn't recognize it, so he poked the businessman.

The businessman squinted his eyes, folded his hands, read the words Diogenes pointed to, and quickly explained in low-level Greek, "circumcision residue", and then stood upright again with a serious face.

"It's the circumcision skin - the holy skin, the skin of Jesus." Then, the prison guard said the word with difficulty, and the military judge and the concierge also showed expressions of incredible surprise.

The rosary beads rang over there. Gawain raised his face 45 degrees, slowly raised the box, facing the sun, and chanted devoutly.

"The monk envoy said that if you are willing to touch it, he doesn't mind. This holy object has an incomparable effect." Another merchant said to the two officials in Greek.

"Can it help with pregnancy? My pregnant wife has been a little restless recently." The concierge made this request first.

"Charitable" Gawain smiled and nodded, generously agreed, and then opened the box with a snap, and then carefully picked out a spiral roll of leather from it with his long fingers...

The concierge was scared to death. The leather was too long and too big, so he touched it.

"Your wife has been blessed." The merchant said happily in a congratulatory tone.

The guard Diogenes stood aside, covering his face awkwardly and turning away, wanting to die, but unexpectedly, "Can the wound be healed? I once had an accident in the barracks, and the scar on my abdomen hurts when it rains." Even the military judge on duty eagerly and doubtfully asked for mercy.

The merchant pretended to translate for Gawain, and Gawain nodded again, picking out a spiral roll of gauze with dark blood stains from the box with his fingers.

"This is the holy gauze of the holy skin of Jesus left after the holy skin was cut off to bandage the wound." The merchant spoke like a tongue twister, "Take this holy skin and gauze back, apply it to the wound every time it rains, and you will receive the grace of the Lord, and you won't feel any pain at all."
