Chapter 456 Byzantine Thief
The next voyage was very smooth. In less than five days, he passed through the Dardanelles and arrived in Constantinople. The ship was looking for sellers of goods at the port, discussing transactions, and unloading goods. Zhang Fan and the ship owner agreed on the date of return, so he went to work hard.
Aken and Jinling naturally went straight to the "Halth Sophia Cathedral", and the two thieves surveyed the terrain. Zhang Fan and two women visited the greatest city in the Middle Ages in the West. This city was accompanied by Byzantine, a thousand-year empire, and ruled Eastern Europe for nearly ten centuries! Although it has begun to decline now, its accumulation of nearly a thousand years has made this Greek ancient city brilliant! Its luxury and prosperity are not inferior to several major cities such as Chang'an and Yangzhou during the prosperous Tang Dynasty in China.
Zhang Fan actually saw an ancient hospital in the church here! And here, Zhang Fan actually received support from scene language communication, and communicated and learned some with the pastors. Byzantine medicine and herbal medicine developed in the ancient Greek medical system! Zhang Fan really benefited a lot. He also bought a series of ancient Byzantine medical books in the store. Since the ancient papermaking technology was not yet mature, the paper price was very high! Therefore, the price of this set of books is very expensive, but it is very beneficial to Zhang Fan's improvement of medical skills.
The Byzantine medical system believes that blood, mucus, yellow bile and black bile are the basis of human physiological pathology classification, and all diseases are caused by the disorder of the four qi of dryness, wetness, coldness and heat. This is very different from ancient Chinese medicine, but after careful analysis, it is similar! It seems that the exchange of cultures of various ethnic groups is very beneficial to the development of world civilization.
Green Wings and Dark Sakura bought the special clothing here for everyone, including Mediterranean light style, robe, shawl, waist cloth, leather boots, which are very fashionable even in modern times. Moreover, the clothing fabrics are all cotton and linen, which are very comfortable to wear. Even Yoda has customized a set. This goblin is very familiar with the Western world, and some Byzantines can recognize this race. Although it is a little surprised, it is not rejected. Isn’t this the legendary dwarf (dwarf) elves?
On the fifth night of the arrival of Constantinople, three sneaky figures followed the secret passages that had been dug in the past few days and entered the palace of Constantinople! This place is much more defensive than the "St. Sophia Cathedral". Of course, it is not that the Byzantine Goth guards are not responsible, but the barrier in the church, which makes the rats really seamless. Akan and Jinling discussed and stole the palace first, and then let the treasure hunters enter the church to steal treasures through the cover of the spearheaded relics! Even if they fail in the church, they will not return empty-handed.
The long night is long, the moon is dark and the wind is high...
"What are you? You dare to rob me of my wealth!" A gray-blue phantom appeared on the pile of treasures. He must have been very noble during his lifetime, wearing gorgeous clothes and majestic!
Aken looked at the ghost that appeared in the underground treasure house of the palace with laughter and tears. It seemed that it must be a certain king of Byzantine who was guarding the treasures he had accumulated here. The red-skinned rats could not care about him. After drilling into the pile of treasures, they began to professionally transport wealth. However, their work was soon interrupted by the angry ghost. A group of ghost guards rushed over, raised their broken swords, and chopped them at the red-skinned rats, and ran away only to drive the red-skinned rats!
"Compare with me to summon me?" Akan sighed and sacrificed the "Yellow Spring Ghost Record". The huge pages were turned on, and a group of skeleton warriors in scales rushed towards the Byzantine ghost guards! These war souls actually upgraded. The scales they wore looked so familiar, as if they looked a bit like the scale skin of a sea snake...
"More than souls, I'm never afraid of it!" Aken looked at the ghosts and war souls fighting together and sneered. However, it seems that those ghost guards are stronger than Aken's war souls, which may be due to the weakening of the war souls caused by the difficulty of the scene.
The rat king Jin Ling, who was standing beside him, said, "I am frank, brother, you don't have to let them fight in groups. Just use this enhanced version of the "Hundred Ghosts Book" to collect the ghost guards..."
"Yes?!" Akan Ru was enlightened and suddenly realized, what's the point of doing? There was such a powerful ghost nemesis, and she was still competing with this old ghost who had been dead for many years. Akan thought about it, made seals with his hands, muttered and chanted a spell in his mouth, and the "Huangquan Ghost Record" emitted a white light, covering the spot, sweeping away the ghost ghost in this huge treasure house...
...In the darkness in the early morning, the gate of the palace suddenly opened, and a large group of Byzantine Goth guards rushed out, searching the whole city!
In the secret passage of the "Halth Sophia Cathedral", three shocking thieves were each carrying a big pocket and running out of the city! Behind them, a group of red-skinned mice were either holding gold cups, biting gems, or dragging the Pope's exquisite slippers, rolling and crawling. The last group of iron-toothed mice were responsible for burying the secret passage and breaking the back...
"Hurry! You greedy guy, tell you not to go to the Pope's dormitory, you must go!" Aken cursed, and he hurriedly put on a illusioned jewel-covered garment.
"Don't you also sneak into the beautiful princess's boudoir and steal her underwear..." Jin Ling defended. He actually used an exquisite shawl as a headscarf and covered his face. Can others not recognize her?!
"Shut up..." Faced with these two shameless thieves, Yoda actually ran away. Its space bag was filled with countless treasures, and it was stretched into a big pocket, making it very difficult to carry it.
On the hill outside the city, Akan and Jinling hurriedly divided the stolen goods. Jinling was very generous and the two thieves ran away. Akan did not dare to meet Zhang Fan, but just greeted him, and took Yoda to swim through the narrow Bosphorus Strait, from Asia Minor, through the Seljuk Empire of the Turks, and went directly to Syria by land. The Byzantines would never dare to pursue this road.
The best royal astrologer in Constantinople prayed for divination with the Orthodox Archbishop, but found that the divination results and astrological signs were extremely confusing, and they only pointed to Jerusalem and the Muslims.
"Friends of crescent moon come from the sacred land, kill enemies of the ocean, invite the darlings of the earth, steal the luck of the saints, and erase the hope of the cross. They come from the far east and will surely disappear in the long river of history!" In our opinion, the oracle is not obscure. In general, divination is very successful, but the origin of the preceptor is too special, making the diviner unpredictable.
The Grand Duke of Byzantine, who presided over the divination ceremony, listened to the astrologer's analysis and said to the archbishop: "It seems that things are already clear. Saladin is the common enemy. Maybe we should listen to the opinions of the messenger..."
The Archbishop of the Orthodox Church was a little hesitant, "It's just that the person who came does not mean that there is a meaning. If we participate, will it make the other side have some concerns and break the tacit understanding of the balance for many years..."
"I'm afraid I can't care about that much now. We already have reasons for war..." The Grand Duke of Byzantine threw down the result of divination, and the Archbishop picked it up tremblingly, sighing...
…………
"This guy..." Zhang Fan was a little amused when he heard that Akan had fled in panic. In the morning, several groups of Constantinople's garrison troops had already searched the port several times. The streets were all martial law. All ships were not allowed to leave the port at will! Zhang Fan and Green-winged An Yingying who were wandering around the city were also investigated by soldiers from multiple guards. Green-winged An Yingying almost fought with them. If Zhang Fan had not stopped him, the three of them would have been detained!
When these soldiers began to interrogate Zhang Fan and the other two, the situation became even worse. They heard that they were coming on Muslim ships, and the soldiers were facing a great enemy. Fortunately, after asking Zhang Fan's name, some of the soldiers had heard of Zhang Fan's reputation. The ring reminded Zhang Fan's reputation played a role, and it was China's victory and fame against the Arabs. These soldiers who searched them friendly and let them go, and the three of them finally escaped. Unexpectedly, this unknown reputation actually played a role here!
