Vol 2 Chapter 76: Reverse scale

Alexander looked at the queen standing in front of him in unexpected surprise.
When he heard that the queen sent someone to see him, he was a little strange, although at this time, giving money to the queen may just have won the queen ’s goodwill, but so eager to send someone to contact himself , It seems a little too reserved.
This made Alexander even think that the other party had eaten the sweetness and was ready to be measured.
But after listening to the follower's intention, Alexander's surprise not only did not decrease, but became more intense.
And this surprise also contained a wave of anger.
This is because the attendant brought him a message from someone he never knew, and the message actually mentioned Sophia!
Although the entourage did not make it clear, Alexander already knew that the person should be the one who embarrassed Joanna and Ferdinand owed a lot of debts during his lifetime.
When Joanna sent someone to pay the debt with the ticket that Alexander gave her, the other party unexpectedly rejected the money, and very generously announced the money as a small gift to pay respect to the queen, and then in front The attendant's face burned a large number of notes signed by Ferdinand.
This generous move impressed the follower at that time, so after the two sides had a good conversation, the creditor easily inquired that there was an equally generous patron beside the queen.
Then the other party suddenly made a weird request, hoping to get acquainted with Lord Agray's Gombray through the queen's introduction.
Although Joanna is even more strange about the man ’s move and purpose, the other party ’s move to burn the loan is really deeply moving her, or is happy because she can save so much money, so she is hearing this from the entourage. After asking, she agreed only slightly, and then sent her entourage to find Alexander. She hoped that this matter could be resolved as soon as possible before she could make her wholeheartedly plan for the future.
Just to make Joanna a little strange is that according to the entourage, the creditor also proposed a reason that was somewhat absurd or apparently very rude at the same time that he wanted to see Alexander, that is, when the two met, Alexander Can bring a woman named Sophia.
Joanna immediately smelled something unusual, but at this time she could not care about anything. Although doing so made her feel a little detrimental, she still ordered the entourage to bring the news to Alexander.
After hearing the message from his entourage, Alexander was really angry!
His attitude towards the attendant was instantly cold, and the unabashed anger made the attendant both angry and helpless, so that when he left in embarrassment, he did not hear Alexander say another word.
This disappointed the entourage, and perhaps the queen would never get a little benefit from the sponsor.
Alexander really regretted that he had paid such a sum of money for Joanna. His original meaning was naturally to hope to be her benefactor when the queen was down, which would bury him in the future if he had a conflict with Frederick. A chess piece, perhaps at a critical moment, this chess piece can exert unexpected power.
But now, this Joanna is a short-sighted woman like her husband. This can be seen from the fact that when she heard that the other party burned the invoice, she would not be condescending and become noble. Too much emphasis on money makes Alexander feel doomed to have no major effect.
And what really caused him anger was the request made by that person.
Let him take Sophia, this is what to do!
For Alexandria, Sophia is his comfort in this era, and is also a partner who spent the hard times with him.
Whenever he thinks of the days when the two are separated, Alexander is guilty. Although Sophia looks happy now, he can imagine the kind of anxiety she felt when he was not around her. From now on, she would still often be unconscious. Grasped his clothing corner tightly, seemingly afraid that he would be able to see it in a small motion that disappeared out of thin air.
Alexander never asked what she had encountered during her separation, because she was afraid of touching her heart that might cause her to collapse.
Sophia was a taboo that Alexander could not touch, but now an inexplicable stranger suddenly touched the taboo without any care, and even made the kind of request that made him angry.
Alexander couldn't remember the expression on his face when the queen's entourage left, because he had already made up his mind for this matter, and it seemed that Joanna had to estimate it once more.
The door opened gently, and Sophia walked behind Alexander quietly like a raccoon cat, but she didn't notice that her figure was completely exposed in a large mirror next to her, so when she was about to reach out and cover Alexander's eyes, Alexander had already Suddenly turned around, when Sophia screamed in fright, she lifted her with both hands!
Sophia's feet immediately kicked in the air, and the soft cloth toes on her feet kept kicking on Alexander's belly. At the same time, she pressed her hands firmly to Alexander's shoulders, and a slightly hoarse laugh continued in her mouth.
Alexander gently lifted Sophia, looked up at her with a smile, and then slowly put her down, but let her feet step on her instep, and then slightly harder to make her tiptoe almost the same as herself height of.
"Sophia, we will go very far in the future, go to those places that we have never been to, you will see more things and people," Alexander carefully looked at her big girl with Sovia's cheek. Eyes "You remember, I will always be by your side at all times. I have lost you once, but I will not let myself lose you a second time."
Sophia, who was originally smiling, slowly put her smile away. She nodded seriously, and then issued a series of monophony in a way that only two people could understand, watching Alexander nod from time to time, frowning, or disagreeing. Shaking her head first, and then after she gently kissed him and nodded her head, Sophia gave a cheerful laugh.
It wasn't until Sophia got bored that she curled up and leaned back in Alexander's arms and slowly slept.
And Alexander was sitting on the bench facing the bay with the girl's soft body, letting her lie as comfortably as possible while looking at the pale blue bay outside the railing.
This is a villa on the top of the hill in the bay of Santa Lucia. Because it was used to escape the summer heat, the entire villa is very transparent. For example, in this room, the entire wall is only empty by a few Roman columns. In design, the thin white gauze between the pillars separates the room from the outside terrace, while the terrace as wide as the room protrudes far away from the second floor, supported by a few thicker marble Roman columns below.
The villa that Modillo gave him was not very big, but Alexandria liked it very much, because here he could spend every day with Sophia undisturbed, because he knew that something would happen soon. Let him do it.
Gonzalo led the coalition long past the Roman city that was once threatened by the French, and entered a very far-reaching place in Upper Italy. The situation of the French became worse and worse. Modillo's plan did not seem to be effective. This can be seen in the count's increasingly ugly face.
Modillo had already proposed to him that he would prepare another batch of grain to be shipped to the north, and in the words vaguely revealed that he hoped that he would personally him this time.
Obviously, that James Columbus disappointed Modillo. According to the news brought back by the dispatched people, James's grain transportation team was not smooth along the way. Most of the food was lost for various reasons. But in the end, because the "unlucky robbery" fell into the hands of the French, it was simply not enough to help the French army through the difficulties.
This made Modillo very annoyed, but there was no way he could send his own man to help that Columbus, nor could he easily leave Naples. As Frederick got closer and closer to the coronation, Modillo had to think about his situation .
It seems that only Alexander can do this.
Alexandria not only has food, but also has a small Bohemian army that is sufficient to deal with all kinds of dangers, and Modillo also knows that he is spending a lot of money on recruiting people. More importantly, Alexander will not cause much attention even if he leaves Naples. After all, he is still a small lord in a small place.
Alexander was not going to take Sophia to the north, but the news brought by Joanna made him change his mind.
Looking at the girl who was sleeping soundly in her arms, Alexander lowered her head and gently kissed on her smooth silk temples, Sophia immediately arched her head like a kitten, and then her legs slightly closed to Alexander He squeezed his arms twice and went to sleep.
Alexander smiled slightly, gently placed Sophia on the bench, and then slowly hung a cold layer on his face.
He pushed through the corridor and pushed a wooden door at the end into the room.
This room faces away from the harbour because the sun does not shine, and it is slightly dark even during the day.
Alexander walked to a row of wooden racks against the wall and picked up a musket from the rack.
With a light buckle, the crisp sound of the hammer strikes in the room.
The musket is very special, unlike the now almost completely straight handle, the slightly bent handle looks like a roasted rabbit leg, and in order to maintain balance, a prototype copper weight head mounted at the end of the handle flashes With a yellowish luster, the barrel half buried in a groove with a right and shallow depth seems to be integrated with the undercarriage, not so abrupt.
But what is really important is that the rudimentary hammer, which was originally simply bent and popped with an iron hook, has become a complicated looking device.
The tongue-shaped bite tail hammer replaces the humble iron hook before, and a small piece of flint is tightly clamped in the tail hammer's tongue.
A piece of iron in the front of the ram is smoothed like a small cutting board to ensure that when the flint hits it, it can hit a spark that is enough to ignite the medicine in the medicine tank.
This is a firearm that has been remodeled. No such thing has appeared in this era.
A more sophisticated and dangerous killing tool!
Alexander felt that there would be no protests against calling it "Flintlock."
Pulling the gun again, feeling the force of slightly force when tongue-shaped hitting the iron buckle, Alexander suddenly flat-ended the rifle pointed forward.
Since the decision to bring the flintlock gun into this era, although he has used this weapon several times, he has never tried to kill someone like this!
Although he didn't know what the man who claimed to be from the Netherlands was, he no doubt had angered him completely.
Alexander took out several small bags from the cloth bag beside the shelf, which were ammunition prepared for the flintlock.
While still in Agri, he began to use very few resources to make this flintlock that could be used by the Bohemians. Although the quantity produced was really pitiful, Alexander was not discouraged.
Packing up the guns and ammunition, Alexander wore a dark cloak. Fortunately, during the national funeral, the whole city was covered with mourning clothes, and the streets were full of black, so his dress would not cause anything. Note, and it can be hidden very well.
Back in the previous room, looking at Sophia, who was still asleep, Alexander walked over and kissed her cheek gently.
From the beginning, he had decided to solve the matter by himself without letting Sophia get involved.
Alexander quietly left the house from the back door, and there was still a long way from the villa on the hill to the place the man had agreed with him.
He didn't care about Joanna knowing that he was going to that person, because both his donation and the debt of the Dutch were very disgraceful to Joanna.
Given her current situation, it would be impossible for her to take the initiative to let others discover that she was related to the upcoming murder if she was not too stupid.
That's right, Alexander decided to kill that person!
"Guest from the Netherlands," this is what Joanna's entourage told him about the man. "It is a rich man with a lot of money and a huge fleet."
Alexander didn't care if the man was rich. He was angry that the news that the man brought to him clearly suggested that it was related to Sophia's previous experience, which caused Alexander to make a killing.
The meeting place that person had set was not surprising. It was the house of Mrs. Olgala. What Alexander had done in that lady ’s house had already spread throughout Naples. The reputation is even greater.
A specially designed holster was hung in Alexander's cloak. The opening of the holster was inclined downwards. This was done to prevent the projectile from falling out of the gun barrel, or to loosen the fire due to insufficient ramming.
He hadn't thought of hiding his whereabouts deliberately, and he knew that since the other party had set the location at Mrs. Olgala's house, someone would definitely know about the meeting.
Alexander just wanted to make a shot that would take him for granted, without letting others take the chance.
As for why that person wanted to see him, he did not intend to delve into it.
There are still many guests in Mrs. Olgala ’s house, but now the most talked about here is not the affair, but the upcoming coronation.
I do n’t know when it started. There was a rumor that was inexplicably spread among the crowd, that is, Frederick seemed to suspect that his wife was unfaithful to him, because of this, the future king seemed to be intending to find another happy Marriage.
This rumor came quite abruptly, which caused many people to imagination after accident.
And the first person Alexander thought of when he had just heard the rumor was the Elliott of Taranto.
After all, only a few people knew how Frederick tried to marry Ruosha, and Elliott was just one of them.
Coincidentally, he is also one of the opponents.
Now it seems that Elliott's means to destroy Frederick's plan is quite novel, at least if this rumor is heard by Frederick's wife, the wife of the prince who is now rebellious in her own territory, what will happen This kind of reaction is worth guessing.
But Alexander was not concerned about this now. He led the servant to the second floor along the side stairs. When he walked to the door of Mrs. Olgala ’s bedroom he had been to before, he saw the original character. This kind of lady is standing by the door and waiting for him.
"Sir, please come in," Mrs. Olgala moved to the side and whispered, "My master is waiting for you inside."
Olgara's words made Alexander's heart twitch, and he felt that he had not brought Sophia right.
He didn't want to imagine what happened to Sophia when he was by that person, and he didn't want Sophia to think of things that might be unbearable when she saw him.
Alexander secretly stroked the musket under his cloak ~ EbookFREE.me ~ and he touched the hilt with the other hand.
In this chaotic era, many people will wear fine inner armor in their clothes for self-defense, and the musket may not be completely effective against this inner armor. At this time, it is necessary to rely on a sharp sword to solve the problem.
The room was quiet, and the unique smell of the Ottoman hookah he had smelled was still floating in it.
Alexander calmed his heart as much as possible. He hadn't killed anyone before, but this time he might be more important.
A figure appeared behind the curtain, and as the curtain lifted, a man came out of it.
It was a middle-aged man who looked very spirited, or somewhat handsome, and what Alexander noticed was his fairer skin that looked slightly different from most locals.
"I'm so happy to see you, Master Gombray," the man had a slightly strange tone. When he stood in front of him, Alexander found that his shoulders seemed to collapse slightly on the other side. "I hope you are not here to kill me." For this site, please search for "" or enter the URL:
