Peloto Caderon walked through the bustling crowd in front of him, pressing his head down as low as possible, and walking on the street.

This is a place not too far from the famous poncho market in Rome. The streets are narrow and extending downward along the terrain. Every time a few steps walk, a small roadside door leads to the houses on both sides. From these small doors, men and women sometimes come out from the inside from time to time. From the expressions on their faces, you can guess what they did inside before.

Caderon carefully came to an inconspicuous small door, where famous prostitutes gathered in the city of Rome. There were even more prostitutes than the legendary square outside the Vatican, which was completely an open-air brothel.

Caderon carefully looked at both sides of the street, then patted the door hard. After a while, the door opened slightly. After seeing clearly that Caderon was standing outside, the small door was open and a middle-aged woman appeared at the door.

"You're late." The woman said, and looked outside carefully when she let Caderon enter the door, and then quickly closed the door.

Caderon, who walked into the house, said apologizing to the woman: "I know, but I have been unable to escape these days. You must know that Earl Montina..."

"The Earl of Montina is not your master," a cold woman's voice came from the end of the hallway of the house, a figure blocking the light and causing the entire aisle to dimly "or you have never forgotten Lucrezia."

"How is this possible for my wife?" Caderon quickly walked towards the woman. When he walked to the woman, he bent down and saluted, then reached out and hugged the woman in his arms. "I have always missed your wife. If I could, I would like to stay by your side every day."

Calderon's hug was a little intense, which made the woman's slightly clumsy body move. The middle-aged woman who had been by her side reached out and patted Calderon on the shoulder to remind him: "Madam, you are not in a good health now, be careful."

"I'm so sorry," Caderon said, letting go of the woman's arms, then glittering his eyes at the woman's tall belly. "Do you know how excited I am now, because you're pregnant with my child."

"Do you care so much about me just because I'm pregnant with your child?" The woman asked deliberately, and seeing Caderon's speechless look, the woman broke free from his arms coldly and dragged her clumsy body toward the room.

Calderon looked at the middle-aged woman next to him, and after getting a hint of chasing him, he quickly walked into the room at the end of the aisle.

This is a small house. In addition to the street, there is also a small door leading to the back yard, so that the owner of the house can avoid the attention of many people and enter and exit at will.

The woman walked into the room and stopped and turned around. The sun shone on her black mourning clothes and face, reflecting a face that was familiar to many Romans.

Giovanni Pogia's wife, Maria de Luna, who has now become a widow.

Maria de Luna's body looked much bloated than before, and her waist was thrusting forward, because she had already had two children, so she was not as careful as those women who had just become mothers. So when Calderon hugged her again, she just moved symbolically and let Calderon perform small movements intimately on her.

"What exactly does that Gombrey want? Does he want to keep you by his side?" De Luna looked at Caderon suspiciously. "It was you who asked him yourself. Haven't you forgotten Lucrezia?"

"Madam, you really wronged me," said Caderon a little aggrievedly. "I don't know why Count Montina kept me. He has been taking me with me after he sent Caesar away. I haven't even been to Pisa during this period."

"Is that true?" Maria de Luna looked at Caderon with some disbelief. Because of her affair with Caderon, she became more aware of the young follower's obsession with Lucrezia, which made her once think that her sister-in-law was her biggest rival.

"Of course it's true, you know that my love for you is real, and I can do everything for you."

De Luna was slightly stunned, then nodded slowly.

"Listen, I don't care whether you still love Lucrezia or not, but when I give birth, you must be by my side, even if I can't be by my side, I must be in a place where I can see you at any time. As for how you leave Kumbrey, I don't care."

De Luna gave a tough order, then ignored Caderon's somewhat helpless look, sat down and leaned in the chair with a little tiredness, closed his eyes and relaxed slightly.

Calderon looked at the middle-aged woman who had been standing at the door without saying a word. Seeing her expressionless face, he couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Becoming a lover of a woman with a prominent identity like Maria de Luna is probably a dream for all men, but only after they really become her lover will you know that this woman sometimes even makes people feel terrible.

When Calderon left, he left from the back garden. They were very careful. They first asked the middle-aged woman to stand outside the yard and checked out and confirmed that there were no suspicious people. Calderon hurried out and walked away along the courtyard wall.

Caderon didn't know that behind him, Maria de Luna and the middle-aged woman kept watching his back disappear.

"Do you think he will reveal this?" Maria de Luna asked the woman next to her.

"Who knows," the woman still looked expressionless, her voice was a little hoarse and low, as if she was wrapped in a hot towel in her throat. "Tell me, the man you sent to the Monastery of Saint Terraine where Lucrezia was secluded did not work."

When the woman said something, a hint of anger appeared on Maria de Luna's face.

"Who could have thought that the man was so unlucky? I originally thought that when Lucrezia was alone in the monastery, she would have easily become fascinated by her beautiful young man. I am so familiar with Lucrezia. She is a spoiled silly girl. As long as he falls in love with that man, he will not pay attention to Peloto anymore. Who would have thought that before that guy could attract Lucrezia's attention, he was killed by that Gombre."

"But isn't this also good? Now Lucrezia is completely obsessed with the Earl Montina and even willingly gave birth to a baby for him. Isn't this better than sending someone to seduce her?" The middle-aged woman looked at Maria de Luna with a little puzzled look.

De Luna squinted her eyes with a hint of irony in her eyes.

"What do you know? For a man, Lucrezia is like a princess who was kidnapped by a dragon. Peloto now regards himself as the knight who wants to rescue the princess. He is willing to stay with Count Montina honestly, and is actually trying to find an opportunity to rescue his princess. You must know that a hijacked woman and a woman willing to hook up with the servants have a different position in the minds of men."

The woman listened silently, she did not miss the contemptuous look at Maria de Luna when she said these words. Her eyes turned out to the window and looked out the wall of the courtyard where Caderon had long lost.

Caderon walked forward carefully. Sometimes he would suddenly stop and look left and right, or walk into a big circle and return to the original place. After delaying for a while, he finally made sure that no one followed him, so he walked towards the Carolingan Palace.

Calderon knew he had to be careful, after all, if someone had discovered something like an affair with Giovanni, he would definitely not have a good end.

He came to the Borgia family since he was a child, or since he still remembered it, so he was more familiar with this family than others. He knew how Alexander VI spent his days of licentious life every day when he was Archbishop of Valencia, and why the Pope suspected that Jeffrey was not his biological child.

But none of these matters. What matters is that he is very clear about the cruelty and ruthlessness of the Borgia family.

Perhaps except for Lucrezia, all Bogia inherited the cruel and cruel character of this family. Speaking of which, this is also the reason why Caderon always misses Lucrezia.

Maria de Luna was not wrong. He never forgot about Lucrezia, and he did hold on to the idea of ​​saving Lucrezia from Alexander who hijacked her.

Caderon was very clever, and he could know that he could always serve the Bogia family and be regarded as a confidant.

He knew that it was impossible to rescue Lucrezia with his strength, or that he knew very well that even if he could take Lucrezia away from Alexander, it would be useless.

Although he was reluctant to admit it, Cocaderon knew that Lucrezia was obsessed with the Earl of Montina.

Sometimes Caderon was angry at Lucrezia's innocence and her powerlessness towards men, especially when he heard that she was willing to have a baby for Alexander, his poisonous jealousy almost made him do something he could take.

If it weren't for the hunting guards around Alexander and the dangerous Paul Busako, Calderon almost decided to attack Alexander several times.

But he was not in a hurry to take risks now, because he found that Alexander seemed to be planning something when he came to Rome this time.

This can be seen from his frequent visitors who had visited all kinds of visitors in the Palace of Marino, and Caderon keenly noticed that among the guests who visited Alexander, some of them seemed to be something that Alexander did not want the Pope to know.

This made Caderon decide to endure it and observe it carefully. He wanted to know what Alexander was doing. Then he would report everything he found to the Pope. Perhaps at that time, he would not only help the Pope rescue Caesar as a hostage as soon as possible, but also take the opportunity to completely overturn Alexander to the ground.

Thinking of this, Calderon smiled with relief, and he felt that he should not be too far from victory.

In the corridor outside Ego's office in the Carolingen Palace, several people were gathering together and whispering. When they saw someone passing by, these people would immediately stop and stare at the person who came vigilantly, and then wait until the person walked away before continuing to whisper.

Calderon's appearance attracted the attention of these people. They watched him walk over. When Calderon was about to pass by these people, one of the people seemed to suddenly remember something. The man first issued a tentative "heat". Seeing Calderon stop and turn around, he walked up and asked a little hesitantly: "Are you a Count Montina's entourage? I remember seeing you following the Count outside the cathedral."

Caderon changed his mind quickly and then acted slightly to the man: "Yes, master, I am the follower next to Lord Earl. Do you know what's wrong with you?"

"It's true, the Count's entourage," the man looked back with a little excited expression and looked at the other companions. "It's true. We come from Florence. We hope to see the Count, or the Count's entourage. We are merchants from Florence. We want to get the help of the Count."

Caderon pondered for a moment. He kept hearing those people around Alexander mention Florence, but he didn't know what Alexander and others wanted to do.

However, he knew very well how much the Pope hated Savonalola, the consul of Florence. He had seen with his own eyes that the Pope was so angry that he whipped a young prostitute who was sent to him for fun with a whip. The miserable appearance of the girl at that time made Caderon frightened for several days when he saw this scene.

Did these people come from Florence and ask for help from Gumbre?

Caderon's heart suddenly jumped a few times. He first looked at both sides of the aisle. Seeing that no one noticed them, he signaled to these people slightly and asked them to walk towards Diego's office.

There is a guard outside the office of Tiego, which is rare in the Carolingian Palace, but because Tiego can now be said to have the wealth of almost the entire Rome, it is not surprising that someone protects his safety.

Tiego was not in the Carolingan Palace, and he had been in the exchange in the city of Rome for this time, and he did not even leave at night.

According to Alexander's instructions, he had to put the exchange into work as quickly as possible, because as far as he knew, Groghenning had left Rome a few days ago, and the next step was to raise various low-priced bulk goods in the shortest time according to the agreement between him and Alexander, and then ship them to Amsterdam.

This is a deal that is destined to lose money. After all, their purpose is not to make money with those goods, but to occupy the throughput, warehouse reserves and transportation routes of the port of Amsterdam. In this way, the money can be said to be like being thrown directly into the canal of Amsterdam.

When he heard that Alexander actually handed over a credit note of up to 21,000 Ducat to Groghening in vain, even Diego, who believed he was well-informed, was frightened by such a big bet.

This suddenly made him feel a little unbearable because he knew that if he could not mobilize Rome's wealth during the nearly four-month closure period for Groghening, then Alexander's dazzling plan would have been completely in an irreversible dilemma after all.

By then, huge debts, credit collapse, and various terrible consequences that followed were all the things that Diego dared not think about.

So during this period of time, Diego locked himself up in the exchange. He needed to let his subordinates understand what to do, and at the same time let the rich Romans know as soon as possible what a rare opportunity to plunder wealth.

Calderon brought those people into the office. The room was very small. Apart from a large table and a row of cabinets full of drawers by the wall, there were only two seats.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Tiego is not here now," said Caderon quickly, "but I can report your affairs to him. Of course, it must be really important, so you have to tell me what is going on in your search for Mr. Tiego."

Several merchants showed hesitant expressions. They seemed to not know if they should tell the follower about this. After using the gaze to each other, the businessman who greeted him finally spoke under the instigation of his companions.

"It's true, we hope to get some goods from Mr. Tiego."

"Buy goods?" Caderon looked at these people unexpectedly. He felt that he was in vain. "Then you can buy it at the market in Rome. If you need more, you may go to Pizza. It is very lively now."

Caderon's arrogant attitude made several merchants look angry, but after looking at each other again, the merchant resisted his breath and said in a low voice: "In fact, what we are going to buy is not ordinary goods, which may cause us some trouble, so we can only ask Mr. Tiego for help, and before that we were recommended by a friend."

The mysterious behavior of the merchant aroused Caderon's curiosity. After thinking about it, he said in a slightly respectful tone: "Master, please forgive me for my misconduct just now. However, as the Earl Sect, I must do my own duties. If you don't tell me what the matter is, I cannot disturb the Master rashly. You may have heard of the exchange. This was established by His Majesty the Pope. Even the Earl Sect cannot delay this major event at will."

The merchants were in a dilemma, and they gathered in the corner and whispered again. Just when Calderon was about to feel a little impatient, the merchant came over.

"That's right, we are a mutual friend of the Earl in Florence, James Columbus," the merchant lowered his voice slightly, as if afraid of being heard by people outside the room. "Recommend us to come to Earl, who said the Earl has some special goods we need here."

"What is it?" Caderon also asked in a low voice.

"It's some weapons that can defend themselves," the businessman licked his lips. "It can be provided to us and help us organize a very useful firearm that is small and very useful."

Calderon's young face was slightly stunned. He seemed to hear his head buzzing, and then looked at the businessman in front of him in disbelief.

"Sorry, can I ask you if you are sure that James Columbus is the friend of Lord Earl?"

Caderon couldn't be careless. He felt that the incident in front of him was almost breathless.

The completely open contradictions and even hostility between Alexander VI and Florence are well known. Many people even said that if it weren't for the French invasion and the subsequent Romani War that Alexander VI had to have some concerns, he would have spent a lot of money to hire an army to kill Florence.

This is also the reason why the Pope spared no effort to support Caesar in forming an army. Even if it was not for the fight for Romagna, the Pope obviously could no longer tolerate the monk Savonalola who made him hate him to the core.

But now, there are actually several Florentine merchants who come to Rome to buy weapons from Alexander, and the person who recommends them is a friend of Alexander.

Caderon felt that God was giving him grace today.

"Please wait here, I will report this to Mr. Tiego," said Caderon hurried to the door, and when he arrived at the door he did not forget to turn back and instruct "I think you know where this place is, and where you come from, so..."

"We won't cause trouble," the businessman said in a low voice. "Don't worry, we're here to wait for your news."

"That's great, please wait for me here."

After saying that, Calderon walked out of the room.

Walking out of the Caroling Palace, Caderon stood on the steps and thought for a moment, then he turned around and ran quickly towards the direction of Sistine Cathedral.
