Vol 2 Chapter 3: Santa Lucia

The night is vast, the waves are like songs, everything around is dark, except that you can see the little stars in the deep sky, it seems that you have completely fallen into a world of nothingness.
Alexander, who was lying on the wood and tired of his eyelids, barely opened his eyes and looked to the side. Uliu, like him, had taken off the clothes that were close to his body, and used it as a rope to help himself on the wooden board, so that it would not be because of When you are tired, you drop into the water with little attention.
Alexander did not know how long they drifted, but it felt that the wind and waves were not so big, and the sea was much calmer than before.
There is still a dark paint in the distance, and no shadow of the land can be seen. A wave hits, feeling that he was thrown up and down, and Alexander grasped the board tightly.
How is Sophia?
Thought of the girl, Alexander felt a colic!
He dare not imagine the encounter of such a beautiful girl in the hands of those greedy and savage robbers. The thought of taking her out of his own way caused her to be miserable because of his negligence. Alexander could n’t help but smash it hard with his fists. Overhead.
Seeing Alexander like this, Uliu wanted to stop him. But because of the sloshing on the water for a long time, his eyes were a little flowery, and after raising his hand, he put it down again.
Jonini, don't let me meet you again, otherwise I must make you regret that I saved me in Kalibo!
Alexander kept talking about the name. This man saved his life, but almost killed him, and Sophia may now fall into his hands.
Sofia, you must live alive, as long as I live I will find you. Alexander whispered to himself until exhaustion struck, and he could no longer support the lethargy.
Drowse innumerable figures before my eyes, some are like previous life experiences in dreams, some are more familiar encounters in this life, all these are entangled together in the mind of Alexander repeatedly hovering.
Faintly, there was a familiar tune gradually sounding.
The tune was very familiar and so clear, despite being in a dream, Alexander still couldn't help trying to hum along the tune involuntarily.
"Look how bright the evening stars are, shining with golden light, the breeze blowing on the sea, the blue waves are rippling ..."
However, this sound is so clear, it is completely different from the things that have been running around in my head but can't catch the shadow at all.
Alexander woke up with a cleverness, and then he heard the tone from the distant sea surface, although he heard it intermittently.
"Uliu." Alexander pushed the moored youth who was still confused. After the Moors barely opened his eyes, he reached out and pointed slightly. Although it was still dark, he could see the ups and downs in the air. Uncertain Cliff Shadow "Look at that, it's the coast."
"It's really the coast," Uliu couldn't wipe off the salty water on his face, and after a while, he cried excitedly, "Master is the coast, we are saved!"
"We are saved."
Alexander also responded with a little excitement, but immediately because he remembered Sophia was sad again, he turned to look at the sea behind him, only then did he find that there was a hint of shallowness in the distant sea White oozes out from under the horizon, as if something is about to emerge from the deep sea floor.
Alexandria turned his head to look at the shore, and he could already see the shadows of several boats on the sea that were rippling up and down with the waves. It was a fishing boat that went out to fish early in the morning.
Farther away, as the sea line on the back became brighter and brighter, finally a light cloth spread out from all the rays of light shone, a winding bay was already vaguely visible, the sea was blue, the beach was beautiful, and the shore was more The clearer lush green came into view.
The singing voice is gentle, the melody is melodious, the beautiful harbor, the bright sandy beach.
He looked at the fishing boat that had found them rowing over, and Jonini's figure flashed again in front of his eyes, and Sophia.
"Do you know where this is?" Alexander gasped and asked Uliu, who was too tired to move.
Seeing the Moor who put his face on the board and letting the sea wash it away, he blinked hard and said he did n’t know. Alexander also leaned exhausted on the board and watched the approaching fishing boat. He said: "This is Santalu West Asia, this is Naples. "
Santa Lucia, a harbour that is fascinating and fascinated by a prestigious boat song.
In later generations, Alexander was very interested in this charming harbor because he was obsessed with that boat song. When he had the opportunity to walk on the bright sandy beach and watch this harbor, he even thought it was better than the song. Be beautiful.
But now, Alexander and Uliu were taken ashore by the fishermen who rescued them like two ruined chickens. After a rigorous and almost rigorous investigation, the two of them were temporarily arranged in an empty house in the port.
I did n’t feel it when I was at sea, but when I landed, I burst into the bones. The cold made Alexander shivering. He secretly rejoiced that it was summer, otherwise he would have frozen in the late night water without waiting for them to drift to the shore. Too.
Even so, it was still cold to take off his clothes and wrap the blanket. He looked at the Moor who was drinking hot fish soup with his head bowed next to him, and reached out and rubbed it on Uliu's damp hair.
The Moors looked up at Alexander and grinned out their white teeth: "Master, we are saved."
"Saved." Alexander nodded as he did not seem to be fully awake at this time. After all, the life and death of the two worlds made him see the death much less than other people. It was not that he did not cherish life. On the contrary, because it is rare to have two lives, Alexander cherishes this hard-won opportunity, but this experience also made him have a different understanding of the word life.
"We have to be careful," Alexander said in a low voice. "It seems that the Neapolitans are not easy. After all, they just recaptured the city from the French."
When he was under investigation just now, he had noticed that Naples, which seemed to have restored order, was actually still a bit turbulent. Many people seemed to be panicked. It seemed that they still did not escape from the terrible nightmare occupied by the French not long ago, despite the fact that Charlie The time he ruled Naples was almost negligible, but the damage and damage he caused to the city was obvious.
Alexandria knew better than the Neapolitans how much of the broken words were. With the invasion of Naples by King Charles VIII, it was in this land with a long history that was once born in the ancient Roman Empire. In the following decades The protracted Italian war has already begun.
"It's a wonderful time," Alexander whispered sarcastically. He felt that it would be difficult to find such a place in the world. It would be a perfect fusion of war and art, creation and destruction at the same time. The destruction of the wealth of civilization accumulated by mankind for many years, on the other side, burst out the humanistic glory that has been brewing for a long time in an amazing way. "We have to do something Uliu, otherwise we will waste too much the opportunity God has given us. "
"What do you do?" Uliu asked with some doubts, his clever eyes flickered, and seemed to be waiting for Alexander to announce what he was doing.
"I mean we have to leave here quickly."
Alexander smiled, the Moor was very clever. If it were n’t for how he might have died, he did n’t know, but Sophia ... Alexander shook his head so that he would not be disturbed by sadness and irritability. He told himself that since he had decided to find Sophia's whereabouts regardless of life or death, he must first get himself out of the present situation, and only then would he have the opportunity to find Sophia in the future.
The port of Santa Lucia is a beautiful place, with blue sky, white clouds, and sandy beaches. Almost all the romantic elements that can be imagined can be found here. Even because of this beauty, there was a luxurious and beautiful place many years ago. The summer palace, for the summer emperor of the Roman emperor to relax.
Even after a long period of darkness, the Goths did not completely destroy the magnificent buildings left by the Romans because of the beauty of this place, so this harbour that accompanied Naples has been blue and cloud for many years. Sailing like a shuttle.
When there are many people, he is naturally busy. He soon finds a vacant Uliu who has mixed into the crowd from the house and then swaggered forward along the boardwalk. On the road, he even helped others with a little help. A thank you that only local people can understand, and then the Moors grabbed a short vest from the railing and do n’t know whose shoulders were put on the shoulders, just like the footwork that just seemed to be laid off, with the crowd Slowly left the busy port.
"Walking forward there is a large white sand beach, and a corner of the cliff protrudes on the beach, and the host is waiting for me there." Uliu kept repeating the instructions of Alexander before leaving, but he didn't understand How could Alexander know that there are white sand beaches and cliffs? Isn't the owner coming to Naples for the first time like himself?
Uliu did not doubt the owner's words although he was strange. When he saw no one thought about it, he speeded up his steps and soon came to the white sand beach that the owner said.
The toes were twisted in the fine sand, and Uliu walked forward curiously, and then he saw a series of footprints leading straight ahead, out of instinct Uliu followed the footprints all the way until he saw his back far away To him, Alexander standing in front of a low cliff.
"That's it," Alexander caressed on the hard stone walls of the cliff, because of the lack of hundreds of years of erosion of the sea water tide. This is slightly different from his impression, but I can still see the general shadow. "I have been here here."
"Master!" Uliou ran over, his black face still excited, but after approaching, he slowed down, and then bowed a few steps to salute. "As you asked, I came to the master."
Alexander touched his nose, and since Uliu became his servant, he was generally very satisfied. Not only was he clever, but he also worked for his master, but sometimes he felt that if the Moorish etiquette was not so much, he I want to marry this black brother.
"Let's go, but before entering the city we need to find someone to inquire about what is happening in the city of Naples now." Alexander looks at the port of Santa Lucia in the distance. "
After saying this, Alexander couldn't help but smile.
In fact, even what happened to Palermo ~ EbookFREE.me ~ The French invasion did not seem to directly affect Sicily, but nobody knew more about Alexander. In fact, a bold and arrogant Duke of Orleans mixed in Sicily and directed it himself. A farce that almost plunged Sicily into chaos.
So Palermo is no different from Naples, the only difference is that the royal family of Naples today is "poor to die" as the letter sent by Modillo sent.
Charlie Charlie is a young and brutal man. Alexander has heard some strange things about him in Palermo, but the biggest rumor is that Charles VIII has a hobby of loving boys. This is so far he has not yet The reason for the heir.
After the invasion of Naples, it is said that Charlie and his men plundered and made a fortune, and some people said that the fiasco of the battle of Fornovo not long ago was because Charlie and his knights carried too many loot loot. The team collapsed and could not resist the coalition's advancement.
No one really knows whether these rumors, but the city of Naples after the French plunder was probably impoverished. It was probably not false. In addition, when the royal family of Naples fled before, because they were too rushed, they could not bring much from the palace. It is estimated that the present king may have a really hard time.
But it has nothing to do with Alexander. What he wants to know now is who is Napoli who is in charge and which is the final one.
Everything must be understood first. After all, this chaotic period is often when some people start to fish in muddy water.
Alexander walked and thought, and then he saw the wood leaping out of the individual in the distance.
It's not uncommon to meet a person. The strange thing is that this person is naked and naked.
