Chapter 62
When he saw the double-headed eagle emblem on the carriage, Zhong Wan had a vague sense of familiarity. His father was a history lover, and his bedtime reading since he was a child was history books from all over the world.After thinking about it for a while, Zhong Wan remembered that the source of the double-headed eagle emblem was the national emblem of the Byzantine Empire.
It is strange to say that since the history of Middle-earth has been changed, why do foreign empires still exist?
Before she had time to think about it, Princess Sophia had kindly invited the two of them to go to the palace for a talk. Zhong Wan chatted with her from time to time, but Li Xingchui didn't understand at all.He was anxious and angry, but suddenly he saw that the guard walking at the end was holding an iron cage in his hand, and there was an eagle in the cage, and he suddenly thought about it.
This Princess Sophia is really a pious believer, even though it was dark, she still ordered the maid to light the fireplace, and explained the teachings of the Golden Lion Cult to Zhong Wan in the living room.After listening for a while, Zhong Wan felt that it was similar to Christianity in his previous life, except that God had become a golden lion god, and the pope had become a mighty man with boundless mana who could call wind and rain.
"Mr. Zhong must be a capable person in the Middle-earth religion. I heard that the Chen people believe in a god named 'Yao'. I wonder if it is similar to our golden lion god?"
As soon as she finished speaking, the eagle in the corner squeaked a few times. Li Xing smiled, looked at the guard standing behind the princess, and said, "This must be a capable person in the Golden Lion Cult? Don’t you know if he competes with me?”
The guard's expression remained unchanged, and he heard the eagle squeak a few more times before he replied: "There is no need to compete, this gentleman has profound divine power, and I am not your opponent."
The two of them just leaned on the eagle and talked back and forth for a few times, Zhong Wan was dumbfounded, and Princess Sophia was at a loss for a while, then smiled and said that everyone was tired, and we can discuss anything tomorrow.The guards and maids embraced her and went away. Zhong Wan and Li Xingchui were also led out of the main hall of the palace, crossed a small stream across the palace, and stopped in front of a small baroque three-story building.
The handiwork of Ivan III in building the palace is no less than that of the Forbidden City.This is the first time for Li Xingchui to rest in this kind of gorgeous European-style building, and he feels novelty everywhere, such as those exquisite gadgets, huge domes and colonnades, complicated candle lights, and heavy curtains, bared The burning fireplace caught his attention.
Especially the fireplace and the bed curtain. "This is a good thing. I will install it in the palace when I go back. I think it will be warmer in the room. And there is such a complicated and spacious bed..." Li Xingchui was fascinated by the thought, and took out the bed wrapped in his hand. The rolled dance skirt looked at Zhong Wan with vigor.
"I said Sanhuang, this is on someone else's territory!"
"But there's only the two of us in this whole house." With a meow, Sanhuang, who turned into a cat, pounced on him, teasing Zhong Wan with nine tails like a group of demons dancing wildly.The latter wanted to cry, but couldn't help but look at the European-style bed that he hadn't seen for a long time.Hmm... It's not easy to have this condition...
The consequence of not being able to withstand the temptation was that it was difficult to get up the next day. When Sophia's maid came to the small building to invite them to have breakfast together, Zhong Wan was still lying on the bed unable to move his toes.Li Xingchui slowly sent spiritual energy into his body to soothe his muscles and bones. Unexpectedly, after waiting for such a short time, Princess Sophia came to the door by herself.
Zhong Wan hastily tidied up his clothes, while Li Xingchui changed his appearance in just a random shape, and in the eyes of outsiders, he looked nothing out of the ordinary.Princess Sophia obviously didn't see any clues either. The formidable bodyguard was still following her today, but for some reason, she looked at Li Xingchui suddenly became very fanatical, and she even brought an eagle with her to act as an interpreter.
Uh, I also know that the guard must have said something to her after returning yesterday.
Sophia ingeniously arranged for them to have breakfast in the conservatory. Zhong Wan had eaten a Western-style breakfast before, not to say that he liked it, but at least he was nostalgic for the old days.Li Xingchui, on the other hand, was completely unaccustomed to things that were just a pile of grass to him, so he sighed, but Princess Sophia saw it all.
"But what doesn't suit your taste? Ask someone to change some dishes." Sophia's eyes were full of concern. At this moment, Li Xingchui could understand her eyes no matter how dull he was. He didn't understand these things in the past, so he talked about it naturally. Can't deal with it.But now he is no longer an idiot who doesn't know anything about human affairs. When he was traveling with Zhong Wan in the north and south of the Chen Dynasty, he also met people who bumped into him.In the past, he didn't understand the principle of cutting the mess with a sharp knife, which caused some people to be quite entangled for a while.
Later, when they went to Qingcheng Mountain as guests, Panda Jing, the head of the Qingcheng faction, fell in love with Zhong Wan, and tried to rob him!Zhong Wan was also lazy, and Li Xingchui hadn't set a good example before, so he just refused and didn't say anything harsh.In the end, the panda spirit persisted and chased them to the south of the Yangtze River. It took a lot of effort to subdue him.
At this moment when such a mess happened again, Li Xingchui was not polite, and immediately said: "I'm not interested in you, the person next to me is my wife—" Seeing Zhong Wan glaring at him, he immediately changed his words confidently Said: "My husband, do you understand?"
After hearing the eagle's message, the guard said to Sophia with a complicated expression.Unexpectedly, the princess was not annoyed, she giggled twice, and said, "So what if I'm married? I'm coming to Moscow this time, and I'm going to marry Ivan III as my successor. You can play on your own."
After finishing speaking, she took another look at Zhong Wan with interest, and said, "I haven't tried being with two oriental men before."
These words were not very pleasant to Zhong Wan's ears, let alone for Li Xingchui who grew up in Middle Earth, they were shocking and unbelievable.He shook his head in shock, "There is such a thing in the world."
However, since the other party disagrees, Sophia will not force others.She was very interested in these two capable people from different countries, and kindly invited them to join the palace.Along the way, Zhong Wanxiaosheng and Li Xingchui learned about the current situation in the West.Since Sophia and Ivan III are both present, there should not be much change in this period of history:
"Ivan III is the emperor of the Principality of Moscow. When he was fighting abroad, his first wife died suddenly, so the Roman Catholic Church... Uh, no, it should be the Holy See of the Golden Lion who sent an envoy to Moscow and proposed to send Princess Sophia to marry him .Princess Sophia is the niece of the last emperor of the Byzantine Empire. It should be that not long ago, the Byzantine Empire was attacked by the Ottoman Empire’s iron cavalry and perished. Sophia went to Rome to join the Holy See.”
Hearing these piles of nouns made Li Xing's head ache, he nodded, helped Zhong Wan cross the shallow stream, and then walked forward.
"Now the Pope probably wants to use the power of the Principality of Moscow to prevent the expansion of the Ottoman Empire. If I guessed correctly, he should want Catholicism... No, the Golden Lion Church and the Orthodox Church, but they don't necessarily have to be called this name now... In short , to combine these two religions into one, and create a political society centered on Rome. Princess Sophia is a pawn in the marriage, but she herself is a very ambitious woman. In order to consolidate her position in the future, she will let her youngest son and The children of Ivan III's original wife compete for the reserve."
Seeing that Zhong Wan spoke clearly, excitedly, and even predicted the future, Li Xingchui couldn't help but confirm his long-standing guess: "I said, Ah Wan, you are from the future, right?"
Zhong Wan was taken aback.Li Xingchui's idea is quite advanced, but the cat demon itself is a surreal existence, so it's not surprising that he can think of this.But—he smiled wryly, he is not a person from the future, this is not the same world at all!
After analyzing the situation of the Principality of Moscow just now, he suddenly figured out why the history of these countries has not changed much.Although the animals who want to come to Europe have also become spirits, their ideas are not the same as those of the Chen Dynasty. They seem to want to establish a complete belief system, so that they can exert force on the Holy See. Regarding whether those dynasties will perish, those who value religion The "Golden Lions" don't care.
Thinking of this, Zhong Wan asked Sophia: "Princess, do you know what sect most of the subjects of the Principality of Moscow believe in?"
Speaking of this, Sophia's face turned a little cold, "It's the White Bear Cult. How can the White Bear Cult be as orthodox as the Golden Lion Cult, the Holy See will unify the two religions one day."
Zhong Wan couldn't laugh or cry.Unexpectedly, if this is the case, the religious disputes in Europe are still happening.
Sophia restrained her emotions, ordered the maid to spread blankets on the mountain lawn of the palace, and invited them to sit down and rest.After the maid presented the delicious fruits and snacks, Sophia covered half of her face with a feather fan, and showed a sincere expression on the other side, "I have a heartfelt request, I wonder if you two can agree? This time I offer The Pope ordered me to make a wedding. I thought I would never meet anyone other than Peter. I never thought I would be lucky enough to meet two people. If you don’t mind, can you have a discussion with Peter? Of course, it’s just a point That's it."
Zhong Wanben still hesitated, but Li Xingchui eagerly agreed. On the one hand, it was because of itchy hands, and on the other hand, he wanted Sophia to see the difference in strength and give up as soon as possible.Without further ado, Peter flew into the air and turned into a majestic lion. Although Li Xingchui couldn't see through the ranks of these foreign monsters, he could always see that he was far away from him based on the aura on his body.
When Li Xingchui turned into a kitten, everyone present was amazed. Princess Sophia was very puzzled for a moment, not understanding why Peter was so afraid of this little kitten.
In the blink of an eye in Zhong Wan, Peter disappeared, and several afterimages and the sound of breaking wind suddenly appeared around Li Xingchui. Li Xingcui stepped on the aura cloud, closed his eyes to perceive Peter's attack, and built a series of temporary ice wall for protection.This Peter's attack power is really powerful, the ordinary ice wall can't stop him, he needs to refine the ice to do it.
In terms of speed in close combat, Li Xingchui thought he couldn't beat this lion. While defending, he let the cold air gradually dissipate. Zhong Wan hurriedly persuaded Sophia to run farther away. As expected, in the next instant, countless ice The blade shot out from Li Xingchui's whole body, and rushed towards Peter.
This Peter didn't hide or escape, he stood upright in the same place, and let the ice blade hit him.Li Xingchui was surprised to find that this guy turned out to be an indestructible King Kong!
Now that the deal is over, he can't freeze this guy from blood to appearance.Peter shook the icy scum on his body, opened his mouth suddenly, and roared angrily.Zhong Wan was startled, but saw a whirlwind blowing over the palace, and a few raindrops fell and hit him.
Sophia chuckled, "The capable people of the Golden Lion Cult can summon violent wind and rain when they roar."
Zhong Wan's heart tightened, and he was about to remind Li Xingchui, but he saw the latter helplessly raised his cat's paw to his forehead, and asked, "Does this have any offensive power?"
That's right, if it rains or the wind blows, it really has no attack power.But Sophia defended aloud: "Don't underestimate this ability. Although Peter can only do this now, His Highness the Pope can cause a tornado and directly destroy a town!"
Li Xinghang didn't say much after hearing it, and directly transformed into a shape, his fingertips condensed with lightning, and raised one hand upwards.
Sophia's face turned pale, "This is?!"
Peter was also attracted by his movements, only to hear the sound of barking, the whirlwind circling above their heads had dissipated at some point, replaced by a giant lightning dragon coming from a distance, gradually enlarging and enveloping All over Moscow.Li Xing's cat eyes were stern, and he tilted his head and asked, "You mean destroying a city, is that true?"
Before the princess fainted from fright, Li Xingchui finally put away the flashes of his fingertips and smoothed his robe with his hands.The sky cleared up after the thunderclouds cleared, as if nothing had happened.And Peter and Sophia looked at Li Xingchui with fanaticism. Just when Zhong Wan thought they were going to eat Li Xingchui in the next moment, a maid hurried forward and reported to Sophia: "Princess, Veroki Mr O is here."
The poor cat owner thought he could finally have a moment of respite, so he took Zhong Wan's hand to let him boast about his extraordinary performance, but the idiot had an incredible expression on his face, and then instantly turned into the same fanaticism as Sophia just now !
