Hamburg really gave the Blue Fox a bad impression. If most of Frank's cities are like this, how can they claim to be a powerful capital?

They seem to be a broken house, and they collapse when they step on it.

The buildings in Hamburg are all wooden, and a few of the buildings are piled with stones.

The Hamburg Abbey is mostly built of stone, with a layer of mortar pasted on the surface. The decoration in the house is as frugal. There is no podium where the cross is erected. There are some gold wares.

Blue Fox is sponsored by the priest's dormitory attached to the monastery. He is a special character and enjoys a separate room.

The early morning bell brought dawn, and the lazy blue fox had to get up and complained in the gleam of the morning light: "Their life is so miserable, how can they bear it? I have to chase the wonderful paradise, and I don't want to enjoy it now. ."

Complaining and complaining, the blue fox must get up, and if it can't catch up, it won't be able to eat this morning's brown bread. That kind of food is not delicious, but he didn't have a choice, and these priests are extremely self-disciplined and would not provide food outside of meals.

Under the eaves, he can only bow his head and look forward to the meeting with the local earl.

Eskil completed all his work in the morning. His eyes were dissatisfied with bloodshot eyes. He stayed up all night because of listening to subordinates' dictation and reading documents recorded on parchment.

His mental state was slightly worse, and he didn't cheer up until he was about to go to the earl's mansion.

He doesn't need many attendants, or the Blue Fox and Slav Wadi are enough.

All three of them were dressed in black robes, with their hands folded in front of their stomachs and walking slowly, with their heads hooked, which was awe-inspiring.

Earl Robert didn't take this meeting very seriously. What can the priest say? After leaving the monastery and entering his official residence, noble priests should follow the secular life.

In this era, the Pope in Rome has not gained the enormous secular power in Western Europe. The three Frankish princes naturally respected the Pope, but they still regarded the Pope's mediation decision as nonsense.

Prince Ludwig has such an attitude. As a subordinate, Robert consciously receives "the mentor and apprentice from the north" at home, and Eskil, the bishop of Hamburg, has already shown his importance.

No soldier dared to stop the priest, they opened the door to welcome Saint Eskil's arrival, and then whispered.

Unlike the earl, the countess attaches great importance to it.

The countess and her maid greeted her in the courtyard of the mansion, offering her beautiful blessings in words.

The Blue Fox kept squinting his eyes, even though he was hooking his head, he would look at these women inadvertently.

"Is Frank's woman like this? The most noble countess is actually an old woman. These maids are quite interesting..."

Eskil didn't care about the blue fox's attitude, and learned that the earl was on the second floor of the mansion, so he had to go upstairs.

At this moment, Earl Robert is waiting here. He is very clear about the lifestyle of the priests. There is no need to write snacks and water purification for this meeting. Any major events can be explained, and there is no need to go into details except for other chores.

He dismissed his servants, and three priests arrived in his dining room.

Multiple wooden tables are put together to form a monolithic large wooden table, and a layer of plain white linen is laid on it, which looks quite neat as a whole. Bronze lamp holders are placed on the tabletop, and it is not necessary to light it up during the day. There are also sterling silver dinner plates on the table. They are indeed aristocratic tableware. The purpose of placing them now is nothing more than to support the countenance.

The earl was sitting in the most noble position of the table, and seeing the priests arrived, he first stood up and bowed slightly, then said to sit casually.

It was not the first time Eskil came to this building. He looked around for a week and was convinced that the furnishings of the restaurant had not changed, as if time was frozen. His eyes motioned to his two followers to sit freely, implying that they must not act rashly.

Robert shrugged and tapped the table to break the embarrassment of the encounter.

"St. Eskil, I'm waiting for you. What a big deal, I hope you come to visit it yourself."

"But there is a big thing, it is very important." Eskil came prepared this time. He lifted his robe and put the cloth bag he was carrying on the table, and took out a piece of parchment folded like a handkerchief.

"What is this? Could it be a letter?"

"My lord, you guessed very correctly. This is a letter written by the new king of Denmark, a man named Horrick Klarsson, and I hope it will be delivered to Prince Ludwig as a messenger or an intermediary. ."

"What happened?!" In a short sentence, Earl Robert already understood the significance of the situation.

"How?" Eskil lifted his old and wise head, his eyes already suggesting.

"You...want me to be a middleman and send the letter to the prince?"

"Would you like? However, I would rather see the prince in person, but besides this letter, I have other things I intend to inform the prince."

Hearing, the earl sitting on pins and needles did not immediately reply. He was very curious about the content of the letter, especially since the writer was Horick, so he must be vigilant.

The count simply asked with a careless voice: "I want to know the content of the letter. I am directly responsible for the prince, and there must be no mistakes in anything through my hands."

"It's okay for you to read the letter in advance."

The entire parchment letter was stuffed into the earl's hands, and the important information written in it, earl Robert instinctively increased his vigilance. The thin parchment actually carried the ambition of a man? A bred hound dare to negotiate terms with the owner? !

Putting down some trembling hands, Robert's first insight was that there was a threat to the peaceful life of his own territory.

He sighed: "I know that Horrick, a western bandit, a wolf on the sea, steals Duriste and claims to be the Earl of Flanders. He and his gang surrendered to the prince before they were sanctioned. I do listen. Saying that the prince arranged for Horlick to return to Denmark to seize power, the prince wrote me a letter."

"Oh?" Eskil in the current round was startled: "It turns out that Horrick came to Denmark and was planned by His Royal Highness?"

"The prince did it, but things shouldn't be like this. Horrick can call himself a king, but the prince can at most canonize him as an earl, and the whole of Denmark should submit to the prince. Horrick said that Denmark and us are a country. Once the prince learns about the relationship, I am afraid that the war will start again!" At the end, Robert's lips were already trembling, and his expression fully showed that he was afraid and hated war.

How can Robert not hate war? Naturally, it doesn't matter if his strength is abundant, but his own Count of Hamburg is in the North, and the Danes, Oberthlidders, and Pomeranians are active in the border area. These aliens seem to be Peaceful, if you launch a military action, it will be impossible to suppress it with your own forces. Now that the danger signal has appeared, who can guarantee that Denmark will not usurp power and bite the owner because the pirate leader Horrick has usurped the power?

"Maybe war has broken out." Eskil tapped his fingers on the tabletop, his eyes trembled, and tears flowed down rare.

"Padra...you actually cry?"

"Hateful Horrick, our monastery in Hezeby was destroyed! I should have stayed in Hezeby this year, and Horrick expelled me. The war in the North has broken out, and Horrick is excluding dissidents. Mass killing!"

"But didn't he convert?!"

"He is a hateful traitor. He betrayed the Lord and went to the **** of the barbarian. He also sacrificed the devil with human blood, Lord, please send down thunder and lightning to sanction this rebellion..." As he said, Eskil took Ray with him. He kept making a cross on his chest.

Described at this level, Earl Robert was completely afraid of trembling in the war. He was stunned for a while before squeezing out a question: "That villain who made a deal with the devil, will never cross the Great Wall and attack me now."

"I don't know. I just want to see the prince sooner and explain my experience in the north."

The earl nodded, he was sure that his boring days would come to an end. No one likes war. When the real threat of war appears, the nobles of the kingdom must come forward.

"The prince is scheduled to be in Regensburg, and I will personally **** you there."

"This is true? It's a good thing." There was an unexpected breakthrough, and Eskil replied very decisively.

The earl confirmed that he didn't just open his mouth, and even murmured words with his fingers. How long will it take to go retrograde along the Elbe and then overland to reach the residence of the Duke of Bavaria, which is Prince Ludwig's Fortress of Regensburg.

It seems that the major event to be discussed today is this, and Earl Robert can clearly see that the matter is not over yet.

Eskil had two clergymen, one of which was ugly and the other was as big as a drum.

Seeing that the earl was interested, Eskil solemnly pushed the blue fox to the front desk.

The blue fox took off the hat of his burqa, revealing the typical priest's hairstyle, which also made his face clearer.

"The fat priest in the North? Padra, you said that this person is very important to me. Is he the believer you recovered from the North?"

"Exactly. Joseph converted not long ago, and he was also a victim of Horrick's atrocities. And..."

The count did not wait for Eskil to finish, and then asked: "Is he a Danish? Or a Saxon? Looking at the blond hair, it must not be a Pomeranian, it will never be our Frankish? At least it must not be Turin. Root man."

"It's from Ross."

"Ross? What is that?"

At this moment, Eskil regrets that the blue fox's Saxon language is very bad, let alone the Frankish language. However, Earl Robert only speaks Saxon and Frankish, but not Latin.

The earl could not communicate directly with the blue fox, there must be an interpreter standing in the middle.

Eskil was willing to do such a translation, and now it was finally Blue Fox's turn to expound his ideas as the special envoy of the Duchy of Ross with a mouth.

Everything the blue fox said is new. The earl only knows that the Danes are a threat, and believes that the power of the north and the unnamed Yuans of the world is the territory of the Danes. Unexpectedly, there is a sea at the end of the world. There are other people living there, the Svearans and the Rus, who are enemies with Denmark.

Blue Fox is very clear that he has already passively represented the whole of Ross outside. I am afraid that this is the first time the principality has contacted the Frankish kingdom. It is the feeling of meeting for the first time that determines the success or failure of the future relationship to a large extent. That set of respectful piety, briefly talked about the Duchy of Ross to a local nobleman.

In this restaurant, he briefly negotiated with Eskil in Latin, and suddenly understood Earl Robert's concern for the safety of the Eskildo.

So prescribe the right remedy for the case, specifically picking up what the earl loves to hear.

For example, the Principality of Ross can mobilize 10,000 troops. The Principality hopes to do business with the Frankish Kingdom and can export large amounts of leather to the Kingdom. Although the princes of the Principality did not convert, they were very interested in the sacred beliefs. The students of Saint Eskil already had a monastery in the Principality of Ross...

Sure enough, this fat man was an outsider, a strange and sincere Ross man, and even a priest.

Although Earl Robert's description of "Rose has ten thousand soldiers" is considered an extreme exaggeration, the Earl did learn about the clues of the Ross people.

"My Viscount who guards the border gate paid me a tribute to me a group of wonderful squirrel skins, which are said to be the work of Danish merchants. It is not easy to think about it. Joseph, is this the leather that your Ross people trafficked?"

After Eskil's translation, Blue Fox answered decisively. Through his own eyes, he saw the Frankish warriors on the border rushing for excellent leather, and then looked at the frugal furnishings of this house. There is actually a huge demand market in Hamburg.

The blue fox simply made up some speech skills assault, and put on a very low posture on behalf of the prince Rurik.

"Our young princes admire Frank, and we hope to get the opportunity to trade. If everything is peaceful, there will be a large amount of high-quality leather and good ironware shipped to Frank in the future, and even to your Hamburg first. But the hateful Horrick After all this, he killed Ross's merchants, killed the converts, looted leather that was supposed to be transported to Frank, and arrested people for blood to sacrifice to the evil god. Your house should have become gorgeous, and when a bear head shows your might We were going to sell some bear heads and bear skins, which should have become your decorations this winter. But these items were robbed by Horrick, which is a huge loss to us. And in the future, Ross The trade route with Frank was almost interrupted..."

At least they will not have trouble with wealth!

Eskil did a great job in translating, and his vocabulary was very accurate.

A piece of hatred is called the loss of treasures that should have been owned by Cheng Yaojin, which was suddenly taken away by Cheng Yaojin. This is how Earl Robert's anger is now. Robert will doubt the description of Rose by the messenger Joseph Blue Fox, but it is a fact that they shipped the leather.

Seeing the mixed emotions of hatred and friendliness in the earl's eyes, the blue fox was convinced that his approach to approach had achieved initial success. He deliberately showed the cross on his chest, showing that he was actually a devout convert, and the presence of the Saint Eskil platform beside him made this feeling even deeper.

Of course, the Blue Fox has always been prepared to meet the Frankish nobles!

He and the Slav Wadi both have self-defense steel swords. The difference is that their swords are inlaid with gems and gold. Wadi's swords are made only for actual combat considerations.

Vardy's sword is a complete combat weapon, and Blue Fox's sword is more concerned with the need for self-defense and the display of wealth.

A long sword is hidden in the priest's robes, and the scabbard has holes. It can be put on a leather and twine as a harness and carried on the body.

Vardy, who had been speechless, was ordered to remove the steel sword and suddenly placed it on the table like magic, which really shocked the count.

"You guys entered my residence with weapons. You are priests, and you hide soldiers' weapons?"

Eskil hurriedly finished the round: "Of course this is wrong according to the regulations, but the Lord is furious! My child, this sword should belong to you! I dare say this is the best sword you have ever seen in your life. It is the Lord who asked the messenger of Toros to send it to you, and the Lord asks you to protect the people, protect the peace, and crusade against rebellion."

In fact, this is the steel sword used by the Ross people. It seems unremarkable but unstoppable.

The earl liked Eskil's statement very much. He picked up the scabbard and quickly drew out the sword, only to hear the low buzzing sound, a bright white sword trembling in his hand. It was actually bright white, completely different from his own gray iron sword.

Moreover, this sword seems to have some incredible flexibility.

As far as the color is concerned, he thinks it is indeed a good sword. With the blue fox saying "It is soft and strong, it can cut off your saber", the earl felt this absurd in his own knowledge. It is impossible for one sword to cut another sword unless he swings a big axe. Smashed.

The blue fox spoke convincingly, bluntly that the sword represented the sincerity of the messenger of Rose, and it would be his own shame if he couldn't cut any iron sword.

The earl acted decisively, placing his saber on the table, slashing it bravely with a new sword in one hand, the saber broke at the sound, and the steel sword was also split on the table, splitting the tablecloth, leaving deep marks on the oak table. The earl was ecstatic, he pointed the new sword at the window, and could not see the slightest curl of the blade in the sunlight.

"Ah! The sword is in my hand!"

The Ross people are still extremely mysterious. Obviously, because they have shown great sincerity, they have a great grudge against Denmark. Ross will definitely not be Frank's enemy, let alone the enemy of the Earl of Hamburg. On the contrary, the Earl's acquisition of a steel sword can be described as a great benefit~www.mtlnovel.com~ This is 10,000 times stronger than the blue fox's flattery to Rose.

The earl even personally apologized for his rude apology to the fat blue fox. The blue fox naturally accepted the apology, and struck the iron while it was hot to illustrate the possibility of business. The so-called Ross merchant might be able to bypass Denmark and go upstream from the Elbe estuary into Hamburg. , Directly unload the precious leather in exchange for local rye and other useful materials to be transported away.

Commercial communication seems to be possible, but this embarrassed Robert.

Without him, Earl Robert stayed in his own territory and would not go out without major events. As a vassal of the kingdom, he went to visit the Count of Flanders at the mouth of the Elbe River by himself. Inappropriate, it will even be considered a threat by the other party. Robert's understanding of geographical concepts is poor, but it is a good thing to be able to directly communicate with the Ross people by relying on waterways and oceans.

Commercial action has made a breakthrough. Earl Robert made a verbal decision to welcome Ross merchants to directly trade. As for the formal establishment of a trade treaty, Prince Ludwig's approval is still needed. Only when Ludwig recognizes that the Duchy of Ross is a country can the two sides have completely legal trade.
