Your Mightiness

August used to play games, and heard a rumor called "Change your account and change your life", to the effect that if this account is terrible, don't wait stubbornly for the "what if", and hope to change the server. The probability of encountering a trumpet born in Europe in another district is higher than that of a non-chieftain who will suddenly move to Europe one day.

In his last life, Auguste didn’t believe in evil, and insisted on playing an account so bad that even the game planners began to sympathize with him. He invested huge manpower and financial resources, but the result was still so wrong that men wanted to cry and women wanted to cry. flow.

this life……

Of course, it is impossible for August to play any online games in his life, but he still has "Life", a large offline real interactive game.

August, who has changed to the Duke's new name, is really worthy of his status as a European.

The characters are configured with incredible wealth and influence at the beginning, and even one hundred thousand krypton gold players may not be able to krypton such a result.Not only that, regardless of the identity of Tom Su, who will be said 100%, and only talk about the things that August encountered recently. I dare not say that what I want will come true, but there will always be something when the boat arrives at the bridge.

Wanting to settle down with the middle-aged boy who was misunderstood by him in his previous life, the two of them are so good now that they seem to wear a pair of pants; when they were worrying about how to socialize when they moved to London, they met Julie, a senior publicist, who went abroad; Now, August was still thinking about how to have a heart-to-heart talk with Father Joe about why the other party suddenly didn’t want to go to London, but the other party had already pushed open the door of August’s study and slapped the table with pride. Said: "I will go to London!"

If anyone refuses to let me go, I will be in a hurry with him.

"Ah?" August, whose life will always be solved easily, was a little dumbfounded.Please explain in detail, Father.

The reason why the priest changed his mind drastically was actually quite simple——Julie's clever mouth that can bring the dead back to life.As a person who takes enjoying love as her own responsibility in life, Julie relies on her appearance to attract people, and what keeps people on is her rhetoric that no one can match.

Well, the description of "sweet talk" is a bit inaccurate. It should be said that as long as you give Julie a chance to get in touch with you, she will give you a bosom friend who is willing to talk to you and surprise you.She can always prescribe the right medicine, arouse the deepest desire and throbbing in your heart, and make you feel that she is the person who understands you best in this world except you.

Even if Father Qiao and Julie were not friends before, after these days of exchanges, they are no longer friends.

Julie sat on the table in a men's clothing that was easy to move, with her legs crossed and a smile on her face.She persuaded Father Joe to go to London, relying only on two upright fingers that looked like peeling onions.

"A. Your Excellency the Duke is gone, and the core defense force will definitely follow him to London. Do you think Fort Bristol will still be as impregnable and safe as it is now?"

It is precisely because Bristol Castle has knights that August and Father Joe watch and train every day, that August can command the three counties at a young age.The name of Andre's knight is ranked first in England and even in Europe. Everyone wants to poach him, and everyone dare not easily try to cause trouble on the territory he guards.

In other words, as long as the knights are here, even if the outsiders know who Father Joe is, they can't break into the castle and kidnap Father Joe.

But once the knights withdraw, how long will the castle be able to protect Father Joe from military use to civilian use?

The main thing is that, without the excuse of being the exclusive priest for His Excellency the Duke, Father Joe must go out to socialize with the priests of the local diocese and the nobles who have to see the priests every week.Under such frequent contacts, it will be a matter of time before Father Li Qiao is discovered.

Bristol is a port city, God knows what country people will suddenly appear one day, revealing the identity of Father Joe.

"B. London is the most luxurious city in England. Of course, London, which has a population of only 5 and is conservative and stubborn, is definitely not comparable to Paris, which has a population of 22 and seems to be full of romance in the air. There is always a fight in Rome, right? Don’t say you don’t miss those dances that never seem to stop, and the auctions that spend a lot of money..."

Luxuriant, entertainment to death.

This is a true portrayal of the nobles in the Middle Ages, and it is also Julie's life creed. She doesn't need others to understand her, she only needs to feel good about herself.

Coincidentally, Father Qiao is also such a person.

Father Qiao was never afraid to admit that he was afraid of suffering, tiredness, and pain. He had already been thoroughly cultivated by his doting sister to be a petite child who would not grow up. enjoy it.

This was something Bristol could never give Father Joe.

Even though Bristol is a port city with many giant businessmen, the levels that these people can reach cannot catch up with the little bit that Father Joe enjoyed when he was a child.How to say that sentence, only three generations of riches can learn to dress and eat.

During the year he came to Bristol, Father Joe often questioned his life. If it weren't for August and the knights being interesting, he would have returned to Rome long ago.Even if he is persecuted by the current pope, he will admit it, at least he can die in the overwhelming enjoyment that the Medici family can provide him.

Julie's simple two points completely disturbed Father Joe's not-so-calm heart.

"But..." Father Joe was making the last struggle, biting his lip, full of embarrassment, "What if I am recognized? This will cause Al a lot of trouble. It is more trouble than you can bring Much bigger."

The name "Miss Matt" represents only a natural stunner and has no political significance, while "the wife and brother of the former Pope who participated in the Pope's election" represents supreme power.Probably the only one in Europe who, after taking in the reserve Pope, was Auguste, who was overqualified and asked the other party to agree that he could hear the choir accompaniment for every meal.

"Then go through the Ming Road with the king first. I heard that he is very keen to fight against the Holy See."

Richard II was excommunicated by the Pope for an unsuccessful marriage, which is already a joke known throughout Europe.

Mentioning the troublesome king of England, Father Joe had a headache at first, he had heard the name of Richard II from the former Pope's brother-in-law countless times.Once, the former pope called Richard II the best friend of the Holy See, and even officially issued a canonization document, calling England the "Guardian of the Faith". To this day, "Apologist" is still printed on the pound But later, the former pope said in a rage that Richard II would go to hell sooner or later.

The strange friendship between these two can be turned faster than a book.

Now Father Qiao finally understands why the contrast between brother-in-law and brother-in-law is so great, because when you are on the same side as Richard II, he will really be the cutest person in the world.As a gun equipped with the "Big Mouth" skill, there is nothing that Richard II dare not spray or maintain.

"As for the other nobles," Julie lifted Father Joe's chin, smiling like a poisonous snake that tempted Adam and Eve to eat the forbidden fruit, she said, "Hon, have you heard that there is a magic in this world called makeup?" ?”

In fact, as long as the king does not pursue the matter, other nobles will naturally not be ignorant and insist on inquiring, but on the surface it is still reasonable. After all, Father Joe is going to London to enjoy life. If he hides from people all the year round, then the significance of his going to London will be greatly reduced.

"It's cheap for you. I just met a friend who is a transvestite last year. He taught me a lot of makeup skills for men."

"...What kind of people do you know?" Even Father Qiao, who thought he had a low bottom line, felt a little maladjusted.These Frenchmen are really terrible.

Julie smiled: "Some very interesting people, and you are one of them."

A homosexual who may become the pope, tsk, the future Holy See will definitely be a lot of fun.

"Do you want to try it?" Julie said coquettishly, her voice was so soft that it could make people's bones crumble.

In the end, of course I tried.

This directly led to August's first question when he saw Father Joe: "Who are you?"

Well, it's a bit exaggerated, but Julie's ingenious makeup skills are really amazing. Father Joe's appearance has not changed much, but it just gives people the feeling that Father Joe is another person.Even if they are somewhat similar, they are only similar.Never reminiscent of the former eight-year-old archbishop.

Therefore, it is said that the number one scholar in every line of work, ladies who have been smeared for many years to please themselves, is also a magic skill if used in the right place.

Everything is ready, we can finally go to London~(≧▽≦)/~

Well, it's time to get ready for the farewell ball.Julie seems to have endless enthusiasm and endless ideas in this regard.Today she wants all kinds of lace ribbons that are enough to dream of just listening to the description, and tomorrow she can discuss with the old housekeeper for more than ten hours about a curtain in the ballroom.

"You, you don't have to fight like this." August was a little scared, "I promised to protect you in England, and I will do what I say."

It won't protect you just because you don't work so hard.

"You don't understand," Julie shook her head. Today she changed into a light summer dress, as if she lived a season earlier than everyone else. "This is not only your farewell ball, but also my first in the entire English social circle." Debut, first impression, has to be perfect!"

Julie would never allow her party to be ridiculed.

"...Well, as long as you are happy." August could only say that.

Father Qiao also joined in enthusiastically. He naturally has a lot of experience in hosting banquets. He is gay in the popular impression, a bit girly, likes fashion, and is a party animal.

Then, disaster struck.

A team can only have one brain, and the host of a banquet can only have one person who has the final say. Otherwise, it is the situation that Duke August is now facing. Julie and Father Joe have their own opinions. There was great disagreement on how to impress a banquet.

Julie thinks that the banquet should be as grand as it should be, completely French style, and now that banquet competition has become a common practice, if you want to remain invincible forever, you must spare no expense to outdo others until one party goes bankrupt.In Julie's vision, the details of the banquet will start from the street, and the whole road will be covered with luxurious Persian carpets, one side of the road is piled with silk woven with gold and silver threads, and the other side is sprinkled with flowers .There is a servant at five steps, and a knight at ten steps. Everyone is holding expensive gem decorations or a complete set of tableware. The food at the banquet is endless like an assembly line, and the aroma of sweets and fine wine is everywhere. (Here is a reference to the banquet arrangement for the Persian royal family to receive a British merchant baron.)

But in Father Qiao's view, the banquet should be more stylish and focus on quality.It's like filling all kinds of artworks, inviting the best writers, singers, and art appraisers, and there must be a profound banquet theme, the one with historical significance.Let everyone be proud of being able to get the invitation letter of this banquet, and even keep the invitation letter as a collection for future generations.

The two quarreled over this, one said that the other was a nouveau riche, and the other accused the other of being whimsical, regardless of how much time they had to prepare.

If it was just that, August wouldn't be worried, but both Julie and Father Joe like to come to the neutral August to be the referee.The Grand Duke is like a doll that has been snatched away between two children. Everyone wants August to be on their side, even if they are only ridiculed by the other party, they will sue.

August, who was being driven crazy by Latin, could only shout, why? ! whyme? !

Raphael had already wisely hid next door, he would only be busier than August.However, Raphael did not abandon his loyalty, he left something for August that could save August from fire and water.

A secret literary work "Secret of Secrets" written by a nobleman in the 13th century quietly appeared on Auguste's desk at some point.

It was not such an interesting book, but it was full of absurd ideas and sensual pursuits of medieval aristocrats.

But August still found what he was looking for in the artificial notes next to the book-what is the most impressive banquet?Often the first spiritually satisfying feast we attend after suffering of some kind. (Adapted from "Charlemagne's Tablecloth (English)")

It's like a post-war rave.

The banquet after the war may not be the best, but it will be remembered by the surviving soldiers for the rest of their lives. The champagne, beauties, and even a fast-paced dance music at the banquet will always be in their minds Resounding in the air, can't be forgotten for a long time.

Auguste couldn't let the nobles of Bristol suffer overnight.

But the church can.

This is what the content of "Secrets of Secrets" reminded August.

One of the nightmares of the Middle Ages - fasting.This is not a patent of Islam. Christian fasting days in the Middle Ages were as frequent as banquets during certain periods of time.This is incomprehensible to modern people. After all, even fasting is only a personal choice for modern believers, and most people will definitely not do it.

But fasting in the Middle Ages is an eternal theme, endless, and no one can escape it.

For this reason, in many medieval works, there are particularly serious debates about what is meat and what is not meat from various ideological perspectives.In order to satisfy the appetite, everyone also worked hard.

Coincidentally, Lent, which is very important to Christianity, is approaching.

Lent, also known as April Lent, during the [-] days from Ash Wednesday to Easter, in order to commemorate the time the Lord Jesus spent in the wilderness, believers will start strict fasting.This is the longest fasting period in Christian etiquette, and gluttony is regarded as an original sin.

August felt that this was the greatest malice against foodies.

As a result, many medieval nobles had a more distorted view of the three.They tossed back and forth in the orgies of fasting and feasting, overeating, and almost all of them had stomach problems. The author of "Secrets of Secrets" introduced an unacceptable way to relieve the pain of stomach pain-holding a young and beautiful woman naked in her arms to warm her stomach.

When he saw this, August almost wanted to tear up the book.

No matter what, if Auguste can hold a banquet after the April fast, which can satisfy everyone's desire for fullness without stomach ache, then he will be remembered by many people.

And in the future, as soon as April is passed, it will be said that I had the best first meal at the Duke of Gloucester's banquet.

August said this idea, and got the unanimous approval of Julie and Father Joe.

The two talked to themselves, and finally hit it off again.

"We also have the theme of the banquet—Good Friday." Father Qiao, who has been familiar with the Bible since he was a child, has a talent beyond the reach of ordinary people in finding a particularly holy excuse for carnival.Good Friday marked the end of Lent, and Father Joe felt that they could hold a charity party on this occasion.What a profound theme this is!

"No one knows better than a lady who needs to stay slim all the year round, what everyone wants to eat when they are hungry to a certain extent. Guaranteed to nourish the stomach and taste delicious." Julie's good figure is not something that can be obtained out of thin air , she has paid no less for this than the hard work she has put in all the year round.Julie clapped her hands, "And in this way, banquet competition can also exist at the same time. We only need to compare the most successful banquets during the carnival, and then surpass it."

Carnival is a very important day before the start of Lent in April, also known as "Fat Tuesday", in contrast to "Ash Wednesday".

On the day of Carnival, people will eat as much food as possible that is forbidden during the fasting period and cannot be stored for six weeks.The aristocrats in England are particularly keen on this, masquerade balls, games, cockfights, they can play more than just binge-eating tricks.Almost everyone is looking forward to the annual carnival, which is their best shield for drunken one-night stands.

"Who's hosting the biggest carnival in town this year?" Julie asked.

"Lead the bishop." August had already received the invitation.As a senior clergyman, holding such a banquet in a private house is a spectacle that only existed in the Middle Ages.

"Oh." Father Joe and Julie let out a meaningful exclamation.

This is really a narrow road for enemies.They saw this sentence in each other's eyes, they had already known from Raphael the death of the leading bishop, and finally the two reached an agreement - kill him!

August nodded, agreeing to the plan.

After solving Julie and Father Joe, Raphael finally reappeared in front of August.

August told all the coincidences that he felt he was very lucky in this life, and said to himself: "Change your name and change your fate, what you said is true."

"Of course, you are favored by the goddess of luck." Raphael deepened his smile and continued to follow August, "This is the greatest compensation for all the suffering you suffered in your previous life."

"What about you?" August felt that fate also owed Raphael a compensation.

Raphael looked directly at August and said, "I already got it."

……

Carnival is also known as Shrovetide, and it is called Pancake Tuesday in England. The content is roughly Dionysian + food + funny performances. Everyone's face is full of wanton carnival for the last meal.This is actually a kind of non-violent protest against the overly strict system of the Middle Ages.The church does not encourage, but acquiesces and condones this behavior.Because the church feels that some extreme behaviors of people within a limited time will make them more obedient during the following April Lent.

Whether there is any scientific basis for this argument is unknown, but at least everyone loves Carnival as much as most nobles hate Lent.

August has recently read many aristocratic articles that mocked the fasting period from previous centuries. Of course, they are all anonymous. They want to resist, but they dare not expose themselves.He could only write articles and compose ballads for cynicism. Auguste enjoyed watching it. The cold humor of the English is reflected in their poisonous tongue.

However, there are times when carnival can get out of hand.This is a loophole in dealing with the leading bishop.

A bunch of young men got drunk and did something that everyone does every year, but this year it was particularly aggressive - they attacked brothels and theaters.

These two places are places that must be closed every year during Ramadan, so there are always people who use the name of carnival to do something excessive to these two places to satisfy the despicable straight male cancer psychology deep inside. .

This year was particularly extreme, they broke into a very high-end brothel, and...

Many naked priests who were having heart-to-heart and body-to-body communication with prostitutes and even prostitutes were caught.

It was past midnight by then, which meant that Carnival would actually be over, and everyone would be hungover and head-scratching to begin the fasting period of banning meat and sex.But as far as the general unspoken rules are concerned, everyone defaults to a carnival night, starting when the sun rises the next day.

But after all, this is an unspoken rule. If it must be pursued, then these priests are blatantly violating the fast.
