After the sound of the boat faded away, Nanding traveled to Denmark and was entertained by Lagertha and others.
To the Vikings who were good at fighting, his reputation and physique,
He is an absolute heroic nobleman. Countless people want to borrow his seed, and there are even people of the same sex...
Stay for seven days, then go south along the mountains,
Saxon tribes, Slavs, and some tribes he had never heard of, he saw them all this time.
The paper tribute he took away was the most popular,
Next, Oran craftsmen absorbed the new steel technology forged by the Vikings and Franks.
A more breathable and sturdy armor with a half-hand sword.
As well as various books on paper that Oran painted on clay tablets (mostly religious and heroic biographies, including several sets of A Song of Ice and Fire - History of the Eagle Family written by Dean Martin).
The caravan was protected by armed soldiers and reached Frankish towns on the way.
Visit some bishops and nobles,
Some of them got acquainted with the old knight (Teacher Olan) through the connection at the beginning, and some of them became acquainted with each other later on because they became more powerful.
Charlemagne's peripheral vision was still glowing, and Frank was still an unshakable behemoth.
Nanding has a reserved and respectful personality, and has not been criticized or even made things difficult for her.
Perfect exchange of goods and letters,
Then he took fifty people with him and headed south along the road.
On this day, after unloading their baggage, the soldiers, nobles and monks all rolled over when they were tired.
They all relax in the half-built tent,
Although the North is cold, it is my hometown. It has only been a few months and some people miss it very much.
Nanding was worried about the war in the north. He was the only one in the traveling team who knew about the Oran plan.
After setting off, the fleet was far away from the land. Only on the sea level did everyone realize that Olan had not come, which even caused a commotion...
"I heard that in Italy...Rome, people there don't have to farm, and all the weeds grow into sweet fruits.
There is no need to irrigate the wheat fields. The best white bread here is used to feed the horses in the Holy City..."
Someone asked Nanding, she just shook her head, "Everything must be earned with your hands. Why should God give you such a good place? Even if it exists, it will be short-lived and will be taken away."
The most difficult part of the journey was traveling through the Alps.
Mercenaries, wanderers, thieves, and some semi-independent warlords and nobles?
They all grabbed or begged for supplies.
The word "pilgrimage" sounds simple. Nanding brought fifty people with him, but after leaving for half a year, only thirty-five people were left.
At this time, northern Italy was still dominated by the Franks.
On the entire peninsula, except for the Franks, the Holy City of the Pope, the Fortress (Rome), and even the Arabs,
The force of the Crescent Kingdom named Agrabi has continued to launch attacks on the Mediterranean region for the past forty years.
The back-and-forth tug-of-war with the King's Castle crescentized the entire Sicily region of the peninsula, and there were many confrontations with the King's Castle navy on the south coast.
But the Lord of the Crescent in Sicily,
However, because he was far away from the mainland, the governor did not obey the kingdom's orders and implemented arbitrary rule.
Italy is not as beautiful as imagined and is facing attacks from all directions.
When Nanding traveled for nearly nine months, she finally set foot outside Rome.
He was received by the bishops and monks of Oran, who had lost the last election to the College of Cardinals.
"I bring something that will change the world," Nanding said.
This sentence was said by Oran, who comes from the north, and the snow paper is getting smoother and smoother.
The bishop accepted it with pleasure, "God gives us wisdom, the Holy Father gives us courage, and Your Excellency brings the future."
Both sides compliment each other.
Nanding looked at the vast city of Rome. Before coming, he learned many stories about the Roman era.
Looking at the appearance of many doors, he can think of past and contemporary rulers.
The holy book says, "Wealth cannot be passed down for three generations, but hegemony can only be passed down for five generations."
Nanding made his first wish, hoping that the Eagle family would live in Oran.
Finally, a very benevolent successor can be born,
Forever and ever, selflessly rule the land of England...
Entering the Holy City, followed by an introduction to meet the great man of the Roman Catholic world,
The Apostolic See can be supreme,
You can also let others manipulate it,
At this moment, the Apostolic See is somewhere between the two;
After the early powerful Pope Nico died of old age, he was briefly replaced by Pope Hadrian as his deputy.
King Basil, who was in the castle at that time, usurped the throne and killed Emperor Michael (867).
Originally the two sides were at odds!
But Basil agreed to the Roman designation of pastoral ministers.
Agree to hold the Fourth Catholic World-Ecumenical Council (Council of 869)
Appoint a person designated by the pope as patriarch to ease relations.
This incident caused dissatisfaction among other Roman factions.
At this time Oran began to support the bribery of Roman monks,
Because Hadrian died too soon, the throne was taken over by the Pope of Novoto.
Internal fighting became more intense, and the authority of the Holy See continued to decline.
This is the information Nanding currently has.
On the eve of visiting the Pope, Nanding took a respectful bath. He believed in God and believed that it was because of God that he was the noble man he is today.
When the guards brought him to the Nowan Sect, Nanding's heart was suddenly shaken by the slightly white-haired old man in front of him, and he immediately used the etiquette of Oran and half-kneeled to the Sect.
His Holiness asked someone to help Nanding up, and then rewarded him to sit down.
But after a few words, the words of the monks beside the Pope turned fierce.
"Ten years ago, Northumbria was owned by King Ella. Even though he did not believe in it and was unclean, he still respected the Lord's grace in many things.
Oran, your master, patron saint of white eagles,
He obtained the kingdom and unified central and northern Britain. Now he claimed to be the king and wanted to establish England and bring under his control all the legal areas that did not belong to the Deep. The land territory he demarcated,
From the North Sea Islands in the east, to Wessex in the south, and to the boundless ocean in the west, he even had to take care of the appointment of the chiefs of Ireland, and created a country without conquests in the 15th Five-Year Plan.
Instead of monks having the right to impart wisdom and culture,
They distribute scrolls of atonement indiscriminately, deify themselves as gods, and build lofty idols and statues.
Only those who are kind deserve to enjoy the country;
He divided the people into several classes, and made the prisoners of war into slaves,
People of different faiths all need to convert. This is wrong and unfair!"
Speaking of this, the messenger spitted loudly and almost hit Nanding's face.
He looks excited and his acting skills are very qualified.
After they had enough scolding, the Pope asked them to relax, and at the same time said some kind nonsense before letting Nanding go out.
But at night, the monk who had just scolded Nanding did not follow the pope. Instead, he went to the hotel in Rome to meet Nanding and his entourage.
When the chess pieces are pushed out, they are restless as chess pieces, and when they think of the chess players, those who supported him will want to get rid of them quickly.
Under the Pope, there are seven cardinals, plus the surrounding lords, the Crescent Cultists on the island in the south, the King's Castle in the east, the Franks in the north, and the new Venetian forces in the northeast...
Many people want to control the Holy See;
The faction supported by Oran has long hated the monks and patriarchs of the Castle faction. There are disputes ranging from the doctrines of the two sides to territorial governance.
The monk told Nanding, "The Holy See has decided to continue to issue letters of rebuke and ask you to come and atone for your sins. I can give you a price and you can bribe others to stop this ruling."
"There is no need to bribe other people. All the funds we bring will be handed over to you and other bishops of the same sect. I just need to help me find a noble lady with a high status, regardless of whether she is married, whether she has children or not, whether she is beautiful or ugly. ,
As long as it can improve your prestige. "
Next to Nanding, a messenger sent by the domestic archbishop Ulf immediately answered, "Your Excellency has given orders to accept all scoldings and repentance without debate."
Nanding didn't want to discuss this matter. He knew it well and looked at the messenger quietly.
"Do you really want to come to Rome?" asked the local monk.
"Wife and husband are not separated. The wife is born from the bones of the husband. The wife should bear the responsibility of the husband jointly or independently."
The messenger continued, "As I just said, just find a girl."
Now the local monk understood,
Oran directly wanted to marry a female wife, and did not bring her back to Britain, but stayed in Rome.
Others can help witness the marriage or even hold the ceremony.
All the blame of the Pope is borne by this woman.
There is no such thing in the classics, but that doesn't mean it can't happen.
Oran is looking for local Italian ladies who can get close to them.
Women are just profit tools.
Oran's second wife was finalized on the fifteenth day after Nanding arrived in Rome.
She is the adopted daughter of the previous Pope,
The family had been noble scholars in Rome for generations.
The only drawback is that he is twenty-eight years older than Oran.
At the stage of dying at any time.
I also have some inconvenience in my legs and feet, and my body is fat and swollen.
The woman received a princess crown (although Oran was not yet king) and several British manor houses.
Oran left it to her to atone for her sins, and her family members to help her place people in Rome.
The woman's name is Ni Zhen.
For a long time, Olan only knew her as...an ordinary woman with a noble birth.
Looking for an older person is to hope that the other person will die early.
The people sent by Oran even made an agreement with the Italian side. If the woman dies, they can find a bigger one.
A marriage created for profit, this is white eagle true love.
Soon, the wedding between Ni Zhen and Oran was held. This marriage caused a sensation in Rome.
An old woman turned out to be a queen!
If the groom is not present, his first knight will act in his place.
Nanding and the Knights Hospitaller troops he brought were full of fighting spirit and capable expressions.
I received a lot of looks.
Afterwards, the woman made atonement for her husband, was baptized, and worshiped in churches across Rome.
The Pope was unwilling to do this, but other bishops intervened to prevent the Holy Father's letter of rebuke from being sent out of Rome.
If he wants to make good friends with Frank and Junbao, he can only offend both sides.
The pontiff, who was teased, decided to move closer to the castle...
During this time, news of Oran's crusade against the Vikings spread through southern France.
Oran's counterinsurgency this time divided the dissatisfied people in the surrounding areas into two categories.
Barbarian: He has no weapons and is unruly and difficult to control.
Barbarians: culturally backward, greedy women who engage in fraud.
The Vikings and Celts around Love Island were called "barbarians" by the Celestial Empire.
The Eastern European warriors surrounding Lagertha's Danish forces were "Barbarians".
The term "barbarian" was quickly interpreted by the White Eagle Military Network.
It is not a big deal to refer to foreign forces in the local language.
But Oran was different. He kept adding such nicknames until these words were forcefully introduced into other Catholic cultural circles and became derogatory.
Imperial and Roman orthodoxy,
The Celestial Empire rules the world.
