Chapter 20: 1 promising occupation

The Bishop ’s Palace of the Diocese of Palermo is not in the city of Palermo, but in the Monreale Cathedral on a hill called Caputo, not too far south of Palermo.
Whenever the weather is good, the whole valley seems to be bred in a golden halo. This unique scenery was once regarded as a miracle, and because of this, the Palermo Bishop Palace was finally chosen. Monreale.
Like many local buildings with a long history, the Monreale Cathedral is an ancient building with a typical Norman and Arabic style. The only difference is that this cathedral looks too simple in appearance. In addition to the slightly unique front door of the hexagonal church palace, even some houses in the small town of Monreale under the mountain seem to have more momentum than this church.
Ding Mu came to Monreale Cathedral with Osborne at noon the next day.
Standing on the Caputo hill, the towns below can be seen at a glance. If the eyesight is good enough, you can even see the pedestrians on the street through the gaps between the gray roofs that are lined up.
But now walking on the streets of Monreale, most of them are heavily armed Aragonese soldiers.
The small square outside the cathedral has been occupied by soldiers. The two main doors of the church are closed. A line of soldiers lined up in front of the door holding a halberd.
Is different from the cathedral's strong gate, but the bishop's palace is open with gates, so people are always busy.
On the way, Ding Mu had heard from Osborne about the 'catch and stab conspirator'. Although Osborne's account was somewhat exaggerated, Ding Mu could still imagine that the horse The scene when Bishop Lecho was arrested should be quite dramatic.
In fact, when the soldiers rushed into the unprepared bishop ’s palace and into the bishop ’s bedroom, the bishop is using his
scepter of God
to severely punish the singer in the choir, When the soldiers pulled the two of them off the bed, they had to wrap the two of them in a bed and carried them out of the room.
Then the soldiers began to search the so-called "mixed assassins" in the bishop's palace. Although it is still unknown whether they found any evidence, from the soldiers, the sheets wrapped in the pair of bitter mandarin ducks were used as loot and flags, and hung in the bishop's palace It can be seen from the flagpole at the door, regardless of whether it is involved in the assassination incident, the bishop is considered finished this time.
Who will preside over the parish affairs next?
Seeing the priest Alfonso who was already standing in the main seat of the Bishop's Palace, Ding Mu's mind flashed the idea of ​​"sure enough".
Obviously, the priest Alfonso was the beneficiary of the assassination in the palace, which made Ding Mu feel that it was enough to explain the relationship between him and the assassination. As for who else is involved, it is not yet know.
Seeing Osborne and Ding Mu, the priest smiled. He signaled that the two next to him could leave, and then raised his hand slightly to signal them to come over.
"My children, it's really nice to see you, especially at such an unpleasant time," after letting the two kiss the gem on the huge ring in his hand, the priest came down from the main seat and walked along The sidewalk walked backwards. "You should have heard of that shameful thing. This is definitely a blasphemy against Christ."
"Please forgive my rude priest, but this may be a good thing," Osborne shrugged deliberately. "Palermo needs a truly pure bishop, not the kind of person who needs to use sheets as a cover." "Speaking of which, he looked at Alfonso walking in front of him." I think that Mr. Miyazaki thought the same way. "
Alfonso stopped to look back at Osborne, then turned and continued walking forward.
"Sir, I brought this little guy at your command." Osborne was very clever, and he pushed Ding Mu's shoulder slightly to push him forward, then stopped and saluted again. " If there is nothing else, I will say goodbye, and I will prepare the costumes for Master Gongxiang to attend the upcoming Bishops ’Conference."
"That's really hard work again," Alfonso nodded in comprehension. "I think my friend should be persuaded that excessive indulgence in luxury is not the morality of a believer."
"But lord, if Miyazaki really abandoned luxury, then I will lose my job." Osborne deliberately showed a bitter face, then bowed deeply again after the priest slightly smiled, and left.
Ding Mumo stood aside silently, looking at this Osborne's performance, which deliberately exaggerated but would not arouse others' disgust. Ding Mu also admired his ability secretly in his heart. No wonder this person later went smoothly and was able to be a minister Has become a favorite of several monarchs.
But now he has to consider his own situation, because he does n’t know why the priest wants to see himself, Ding Mu ca n’t help but be careful to deal with it.
"A very interesting person, right," Alfonso looked at the back of the tailor who had gone away. "But I feel it. You seem to disagree with him."
Secretly surprised the priest's keen insight, Ding Mu reminded himself that he must be more cautious.
"I'm sorry, I'm not a tailor." Ding Mu showed a slightly conceited smile, which is in line with his current identity, young, does not conceal his ambition, but also has enough confidence.
In fact, Ding Mu does n’t think he can learn that tailor can become a survivor. Do n’t say that he knows nothing about making clothes, nor is he a darling. He is not the path he hopes to take. Minister, including the tailor who just left.
Was not sure about Ding Mu's answer. The priest walked into the living room, where a group of people were busy, and when they came in, they saluted.
"Everything must be replaced with a new one," Alfonso said while walking. "Luxury, impetuous, and even depraved. These are not only blasphemy against the priesthood, but also the original sin, everything must be changed."
Listening to the sentiment of the priest, Ding Mu had an illusion, it seems that this person now regards himself as the bishop of Palermo.
Alfonso walked to the wall, where there was a huge mahogany bookcase, the bookcase looked heavy, and the gaps on the door of the gorgeous hollow pattern cabinet were wiped clean, and some places seemed to be shiny and smooth because they were often opened.
"This is the real gem," Alfonso took a bunch of keys from his belt and opened the door of the cabinet, and an entire row of books appeared in front of them in an instant. "There are so many treasures God has given to the world, but many people only see some flashes. Bright things, "he said, and asked Ding Mu," Do you know? "
"Iliad and Odyssey," Ding Mu nodded. "Homer's handed down works, as well as Sophocles and Aeschylus."
"The Greeks," Alfonso nodded with satisfaction. "Although these people did not receive the salvation of Christ because of their misfortune, they used these works to make future generations remember them. Tell me, what do you think of Oedipus?"
Ding Muluo was surprised to look at Alfonso, and talking about Greek literature with a clergyman who might become a bishop of the diocese is not only weird but also dangerous.
He did not think that it was the priest who set him up because it was unnecessary.
If you want his head, you just need to shout to the outside. He believes that even if there are no five hundred swordsmen waiting for the cup, the priest will certainly not be so bold and alone with himself.
So now he can speak with confidence and boldness. As to whether he has that deep understanding of classical Greek masters, Ding Mu is not worried. Literature and mathematics are different, and there is no need to really "understand". Be careful, you can shake it for a while without being discerned. Ding Mu's previous life has seen someone who, with a half-knowledge, stunned others.
If it was n’t the last time to confuse Hegel with a basketball player, it would be impossible for that person to reveal it.
"Odipus, please allow me to say that when everyone regards him as a hero who fought against fate, he himself actually surrendered to fate," Ding Mushun took the book out of the bookcase "Master, you Can one imagine that after doing a lot of things that have been hinted to happen, can one still believe that everything has nothing to do with oneself? "
"God, you actually understand that," Alfonso seemed slightly surprised. "You are really a strange Greek. If you really say that, then Sophocles is not talking about a hero. Fate, but accusing a sinner. "
"This is just my own opinion, sir," Ding Mu hurriedly stopped. He knew that the priest would not call him purely for the purpose of discussing art. "And now it seems that these things are of no value, so I can have a place to live. The place is already very good. "
Alfonso smiled slightly. He could hear what the young Greek man was suggesting. Although it was a bit straightforward, this kind of naive appeal was not annoying.
"Look at these words," Alfonso took a parchment manuscript wrapped in hemp rope from a lattice in the bookcase and slowly opened it, then sighed softly. "The really magnificent are these things. Elegant and wise, even God will forgive them. Compared with them, gold or precious stones will be overshadowed. "
Ding Mu looked at the manuscript under the instruction of the priest. He recognized that this should be a long poem left by the ancient Romans. Works, but even so, they are still precious.
"There are indeed a lot of books here," Alfonso continued to open the other bookcase next to it. Ding Mu noticed that there were not only more books in it, but even some content topics seemed to be quite keen, which made Ding Mu move his heart. Will Alfonso use this rule to rehabilitate the former bishop, but what Alfonso said next made him a little surprised. "If you want to stay here, I mean you can temporarily be my private Treasurer of the library. "
Library, treasurer ...
Ding Mu looked at Alfonso in surprise, and the priest's suggestion was unexpected, making him feel unbelievable.
"Precious things should be protected, and you are well-suited for the job," Alfonso closed the bookcase and handed the heavy keys to Ding Mu. "This is just my personally arranged position, but there are Fifteen months of Kim Flynn's remuneration, and you can read these books freely. "
Ding Mu no longer hesitated, he bowed carefully and took the key.
Does need to be careful, not to mention that these books will be civilization treasures destined to be invaluable in the future, even in the present, they can be called treasures that cannot be exchanged for gold.
"Precious manuscripts and documents need to be transcribed. You can find some helpers. Your job is not easy." The priest was in a good mood. He looked around the living room again before standing in front of the bedroom door and looking at the inside. Zhang now only has the bare canopy bed and muttered, "I really want to say that Maleccio's behavior can't match those books, otherwise he can be called a perfect bishop."
When Ding Mu left the Bishop's Palace, it was very late. Unlike when he came, he had two more things on his body. The same was a simple gray two short robes. This was the uniform of the treasurer of the priest's private library. The same is a few King Flynn in his pocket. This is the compensation paid to him in advance. Among them, in addition to Ding Mu ’s own expenses, there is also a commission to help the transcript helper as Alfonso said. .
So although the pockets have become heavy, but Dingmu has to be careful. UU reading www.uukanshu. com
There are still many guards patrolling on the street. The whole town of Monray is coming. The small town of Alai appears quiet. Ding Mu and the patrolling soldiers pass by from time to time. Sometimes he smells the blood from those soldiers. taste.
Although there were no casualties in this alleged assassination attempt, Ding Mu believed that it was just a statement from the palace that all riots, large and small, would always have victims, but to varying degrees.
On the way, Ding Mu once saw two heavily-covered carriages passing by from the direction of the church, and the breath of breath was the same as those of the soldiers, but it was thicker and more smelling of death.
Actually, if you think about it a little bit, since Gomez has decided to eliminate the enemy of Maleccio by assassination, in order to be cautious, even if you cannot kill the bishop himself, it is imperative to take the opportunity to eliminate the bishop's partisan.
This is not even Gomez can stop.
This is the medieval Italian peninsula, conspiracy, cruelty and slaughter are the main theme of this era.
This melody seems to never have a rest. It can't stop stirring more and more people to follow and dance together, until it finally falls under those beating notes.
Ding Mu doesn't know if he chose to step on this stage is a wrong choice, but he can't stop now.
Since you can't stop, then dance to the melody until one day let everyone follow their dance steps.
"Bohemians!"
Across the street, Michelangelo was waving his thick arms to greet Ding Mu.
"I'm going to find you in your camp, you are my inspiration."
"But I have found the errand," Ding Mu smiled slightly "and it is a promising career."
