Ding Mu didn't know that an "old friend" had noticed him.??

He was following a carriage far away.

Cerrien was a very smart man. As a businessman who often deals with churches, he knew that many people knew his relationship with Alfonso.

So from the beginning, he did not deliberately conceal his whereabouts, but instead swaggered into the Monreale Cathedral as usual according to his usual habits. He even stopped casually on the road and greeted Ding Mu who happened to pass by and chatted for a few words.

All this seems to prove that this ordinary businessman has nothing to do with the disappearance of the newly born Bishop Malejo.

If it were someone else, Crien's small methods would have successfully concealed him, but unfortunately, he met Ding Mu.

Clarion didn't know that Ding Mu knew Kunto, and he didn't know that because of a short crossbow, Ding Mu had already seen that Alfonso had been related to the assassination of Gomez. So when the news of Malejo's disappearance came out, Ding Mu's first thought was the carriage that Clarion had seen when he was smart and deliberately stopped to say hello.

The carriage was large enough to hold a person, and could quietly transport Malejo out of the castle and then take a living person away from Monreale.

Ding Mu followed the carriage into Palermo all the way. Watching the carriage slowly heading towards the Assumption Cathedral of Our Lady, he remembered the documents he had studied with Michelangelo before.

Michelangelo may have a bit of a bad temper and a stingy person, but this does not affect the fact that he does have extraordinary talents.

While Ding Mu was still searching for clues that appeared and disappeared in his memory, Michelangelo had gradually sorted out some seemingly complicated things based on the remaining manuscripts and the architecture of Palermo today.

Even some of the clues that Ding Mu gradually confirmed later were gradually confirmed under his guidance.

This forced Ding Mu to admit that the master was the master. Although he always talked about the use of the Jin'erju in the future from beginning to end, even though he was so philanthropic, Michelangelo finally helped Ding Mu gradually sort out some things that were very important to them.

When he was about to reach the cathedral, the carriage suddenly turned into a narrow street. Ding Mu didn't remember seeing this street before, but from the chaotic roof gap, he saw the dome of a tower with a strange looking style in the distance. After a moment of thinking about it, he probably guessed where he was heading.

Sure enough, with the increasing noise, just as he walked out of the intersection, Ding Mu realized that he was standing on the hustle and bustle street of the Malaro Market.

The Malaro Market is one of the oldest and most lively markets in Palermo. Palermo people like to do business on this street. They set up cloth sheds and set up stalls, and put up all kinds of goods. Then they began to shout loudly to bargain with the guests coming and going. This style, which no one knew when it gradually formed, even continued to the next few hundred years, and the Malaro Market became a major feature of the city of Palermo.

Although the scale of the Malaro market is still incomparable to the future, it has begun to take shape. The bustling crowds of people squeezed the streets tightly, but this has facilitated Ding Mu. He followed the carriage far away, and passed by an old fisherman who had just arrived in Palermo, and slowly walked towards the monastery with a typical Sarasen style.

The monastery is located in a sloping alley far from the corner of the Malaro Fair. It is old and slightly remote. If you don't look closely, it will be difficult to show its existence in this Norman and Sarasen style area.

The tower of the monastery is a typical Arabic dome, but the low battlements built around the tower are in a very obvious Norman style, which makes Ding Mu's mind confirm the previous speculation again. Thinking back to the manuscripts missing in Michelangelo, he has confirmed that the book that Fitch took should be about the city buildings in this Norman period.

But are they really looking for "that place"?

Although Ding Mu knew that things might be as speculated, he still felt a little incredible. However, when he saw the carriage parked at the entrance of the monastery, and then Krien and a few people carried a huge willow basket in, Ding Mu stood on the side of the road and finally shook his head and turned around and left.

Ding Mu did not want to sneak into the monastery. He knew that this place was not big and could not hide at all, and it was easy to be revealed by Krien.

He did not think that Criam would believe that he had come here to visit him by chance. Once his whereabouts were exposed, it would be dangerous. Especially when he thought about the reason why this monastery became famous in later generations, Ding Mu felt that there was no need to take that risk at all.

Moreover, although Malaicho's disappearance is a big deal, it is actually nothing to many people.

From the moment he was pulled from the bed by the Aragonese soldiers, Malechio had completely become a tragic figure. Even though Rome had not issued an order to revoke his teaching position so far, it was no longer important.

What Malejo really deserves attention is not because he is the Bishop of Palermo, but because of his other identity, the support of the Holy See and the relationship as a Roman noble.

By this time Ding Mu had almost figured out the general ins and outs of the matter. Although some things may not be clear, he felt that it was not too important.

For Alfonso, Malejo is a threat after all. Although this bishop is not only disgraced but also imprisoned, apart from the velvet on him, Malejo still has a deep relationship with Rome in the Holy See. It is said that this bishop has some common hobbies with the current Pope Alexander VI. Although he was too famous to become the Archbishop of Sicily, he was still trusted by Alexander VI.

Of course, Ding Mu knew that these rumors were not reliable. Alexander VI could not blindly trust this person just because he had a likes with Malejo. Perhaps the real key was that Malejo's personal identity made the pope look at him differently. This was also the reason why Alfonso was always worried even if he was imprisoned.

But why was it that monastery? Ding Mu looked back from afar and looked at the dome of the monastery vaguely exposed on a house.

This monastery is the city recorded in the book that Feiche borrowed. It was built when the Normans ruled Sicily. Ding Mu did not think these two things were coincidental. More importantly, Ding Mu also knew a secret that most people in this era did not know - under this inconspicuous monastery, there is a huge and intimidating catacomb!

Until many years later, when people walked into the catacomb, they were still frightened by seeing the gloomy and terrifying scenes in it, but Ding Mu couldn't imagine what it was now.

Thinking of the tomb, Ding Mu paused slightly. At this time, the Palermo people would never have thought that deep under the noisy street, there was a huge tomb maze lying quietly on the ground. The maze was deep and long. In this underground world that was forever dominated by darkness, thousands of mummies were buried in it.

Is this place Feiche is looking for? Ding Mu thought to himself.

If Fitcher was really a scholar who was completely immersed in academics, Ding Mu believed that he might be obsessed with hearing about the wonders of this tomb from somewhere, but Ding Mu would not think so when he thought that he was also the Duke of Orleans.

Now that I see that Alfonso is also related to this incident, it is even harder for Ding Mu to believe that Feiche is out of his love for academics.

However, these things have nothing to do with him for the time being. Ding Mu is concerned about Gomez's promise. Although Osborne is taking care of, Ding Mu is still a little worried about Sophia's situation. He wants to see Sophia as soon as possible, and Malejo's whereabouts are obviously a good bargaining chip.

Ding Mu walked back along the Maralo market. He thought about telling Osborne about Malejo's whereabouts, and also took the opportunity to find out about Molodi from Osborne.

Because Molodi's identity has always been a mystery, Ding Mu did not dare to use it rashly when he didn't know what the consequences would bring about using this identity.

Although Kuntuo asked him to find the priest before his death, Ding Mu did not dare to take this risk easily.

What's worse is that before he could reveal his test to Alfonso, Gomez's sudden difficulty forced him to take a gamble.

However, Osborne's slightly ambiguous attitude gradually made Ding Mu have some speculations, and also made the decision to find out what secrets are behind Modillo's identity as soon as possible.

A burst of lively shouts came from the slightly open place in front. Ding Mu saw the gypsy performing from the crowd. Seeing that Lao Guerja was still shouting with all his might, Ding Mu walked through the crowd and prepared to leave.

"Gajie!" Xiaskina suddenly squeezed out of the crowd, and she was still holding a velvet bag in her hand. It should have been from the residents watching the fun. She squeezed to Ding Mu and looked at him with an angry look. "Do you know Sophia was captured?"

"I've seen her," Ding Mu nodded helplessly. "I'm sorry, Xiaskina, but I'm trying to find a way to save her."

"She was caught because of you, but you were shopping, and Sophia was in jail. She was still a child!" Xiaskina pushed Ding Mu angrily, "I should really let Nashan see you like this. I swear he would never forgive you if he knew."

Ding Mu had a headache. He knew that Xiaskina was right. Although he had never seen that "father-in-law", he could only think about how much he loved Sophia in order to save his daughter. If Nashan knew that Sophia had become a hostage because of him, it might be that she would not be able to forgive him as Xiaskina said.

"I won't leave Sophia behind," Ding Mu explained. Seeing that someone was paying attention to them around, he lowered his voice and said, "Listen, if everything goes well, I can rescue Sophia from now on, and then I will take her away. Don't worry, I will never leave her alone."

"I hope you are telling the truth," Xiaskina muttered angrily, "because you have a hard time now. We were almost driven out of the city before. If someone hadn't helped us, we would have to leave Palermo."

"That's really sorry, it's my fault." Ding Mu smiled apologetically. Although he didn't have a good impression of Lao Guerjia, these gypsies were pretty good to him.

"Of course it's your fault," Shaskina continued disgusted. "Fortunately, the few Gajes I met on the road last time asked us to stay."

Xiaskina's words made Ding Mu stunned. He thought for a moment and asked: "The Gajie people you mentioned last time were not the people we met on the road, right?"

"It's them," Shaskina nodded. "Although the one who came to us and told us to perform was a naive face, I happened to recognize that it was one of them."

"They asked you to stay for the performance?" Ding Mu asked strangely, feeling that the Duke of Orleans should not have the hobby of watching gypsy performances.

"Yes, they let us perform here until…" Sharskina scratched her head and thought about "What Santa Rosalia's anniversary."

Ding Mu's heart moved. He knew that Santa Rosalia was the guardian saint of Sicily, and her anniversary was on the first Sunday of May every year.

But this is not important. It is important. This day is the day when the Sicilian Bishops' Association elected the Bishop of Palermo!
