Hoasan Forgazi Ashurk went out early the next day.
Seeing this Ottoman appear, many Kalibo could not help but stop to watch him.
It must be admitted that in addition to his identity, one cannot help but notice him, as Hulk himself is also a fascinating character.
Magnificent costumes, numerous servants, and the graceful manners that were inadvertently revealed, some elderly people even saw the traces of the early Roman nobles who had fled from the east in his early years.
Those people are also so elegant and charismatic. Even the escape can not conceal the noble temperament that makes the Europeans feel ashamed. Perhaps it is because of this that Europeans always hold both contempt for those Eastern Romans. With indignant thoughts, while mocking that they have become funeral dogs, they deliberately and unintentionally imitated their dress and dress and the kind of exquisiteness that cannot be imitated at all.
Now from Ashulk, the Kalibo people feel this kind of unique charm, which makes those women who were originally afraid of the Ottomans feel helpless, especially when they know that this person is still After a fascinating beautiful man, many women are even wondering if they are looking for an opportunity to approach this mysterious and elegant oriental nobleman. It seems that it is also a good story if they can have a twists and turns with such an interracial man.
However, Ashurk did n’t seem to care much about the women ’s attentiveness. He politely visited several senior officials in Kalibo City the day before and returned to his residence, and the next day he visited the less important ones. However, officials and some wealthy businessmen who also have important responsibilities in the city.
According to Ashurk, visiting these people hopes that when the Ottoman merchant ships can travel freely between the two ends of the Mediterranean, they will learn in advance that they can help them.
"I am indeed the messenger of Sudan, but I also asked the merchants of the empire for information, and when they return, they will pay me enough remuneration, and I can now pay you for the news."
When the Ottomans generously asked the servants to toss bags full of gold coins in front of each other, the Kalibo people readily said what they knew.
Ashurk wanted to know a lot, but the Kalibo could not tell him much.
Although it is the closest port in Sicily to the Mediterranean, but because of its remoteness, it has not become an important port connecting the two sides, but Ashurk does not seem to care about it. All kinds of people met. It wasn't until afternoon that people gradually cared about him like walking on the street and didn't seem to carelessly walk into a humble shop.
The owner of this shop is a Jew.
Like many Jews, the owner of this shop is not very popular with the Kalibo. The Jews are too shrewd, they always take advantage of you inadvertently, and you may still be happy. I think it's a good thing.
When Ashurk walked into the shop, the Jew was sitting in a latticed wooden cabinet near the wall and polished a piece of silverware, which he bought at a very fair price. After some careful polishing, he believes that he can sell for a good price.
When the tall Ottoman figure stood in front of the shopkeeper, the Jews could not help raising their heads. After seeing the appearance of the man in front of him, the Jews first showed a little surprise and smiled.
"I heard that a guest from the East came to the city. It should be you. Can I do anything for you?"
Ashurk waved his hand behind him, and the servants who followed immediately bowed back. They stood there respectfully outside the store, looking like they were ready to take orders to serve, which caused a lot of people on the street. Note, but because every place is such a side show, people do n’t care too much about the novelty.
Ashurk walked up to the Jews and took the shiny silverware from his hand and shone it against the sun, then nodded approvingly.
"This is a good thing, it should make you a little money," the Ottomans said to return the silverware to the Jews, and then took out a ring from the wide pocket of the dark belt and handed it over. "I also have something for you. Look. "
The Jewish man took it a little puzzled. When he looked carefully at the pattern on the ring, the greasy and shrewd smile that had been hanging forever disappeared slowly.
He took the ring from Ashurk's face suspiciously, then walked to the bright place and looked closely. After confirming the pattern on the ring, he looked back at Ashurk and then took the ring in his left hand. , The right hand carefully grasped the edge of the gemstone inlaid above, and twisted slightly.
"Click", the jewel on the ring was loosened as the sound was inaudible, and the Jew looked at Ashurk again. Seeing that he lifted his chin slightly seemed to encourage it to continue. The Jew finally made up his mind. Determined to continue to spin.
As the gemstone was slowly removed from the pure gold setting, a new pattern appeared on the concave and flat setting before the Jewish eyes.
This is a very strange pattern. A pair of gallows. The gallows of the gallows are very large. The empty grommet is dyed black. It looks like a deep cave, waiting for someone to use it. Life fills the void.
The Jew's breathing was quick, and he seemed to be unable to sit down. He grabbed the cup from the side and took a sip, before recovering slightly.
"What do you want me to do?"
"No, it's the owner of this ring who wants you to do something," Ashurk said. "You once vowed to obey the order of the owner of the ring, and now I bring his news."
"Yeah, we did swear," the Jews stared straight at the opposite wall and nodded, then continued as if they were going to resolve. "But that was all my ancestors, even my father was still Very small, some of them are my grandfathers, and some are even great-grandfathers, so ... "
The Jew who wanted to continue talking looked at Ashurk ’s expressionless face and stopped slowly, and then he sighed:
I know it ’s useless, everything is because we are Jews, so We must accept that fate, whether you or them, everyone can decide our fate, because we are Jews. "
Ashurk shook his head without any sympathy on his face.
"No, not because you are Jews, but because of the things your predecessors have done," the Ottoman messenger said coldly. "If the people here know that your predecessors were conquered by the Sultan in the Roman capital. What do you think they will do to you, even after so many years, if they know that you once used the opportunity to rob their wealth when the Romans were in distress, they are willing to provide news to the Sudanese army just for remuneration , Even the death of Emperor Constantine is related to you, what do you think will happen? "
The Jewish man looked at Ashurk with a pale face. He knew that the other party was right. Although it had been many years ago, once those secrets were discovered, it was a terrible fate waiting for him.
"What are you going to do?" The Jew finally stopped resenting. He took a drink from the glass and asked again.
"Tell me some news, I know you must know, and tell me all the people you know, maybe I will need them."
The Jew frowned slightly. He was not unwilling to tell the Ottomans what he knew, but he did not want to satisfy his second request.
"We have done enough for you," the Jews tried to impress this Ottoman nobleman. "Many of us live very well here. Although sometimes we encounter uncomfortable things, they are used to it, and they have a lot of them. People do n’t even know what happened at the time. I beg you not to let them bother them anymore, do good deeds. "
Ashurk's thick black eyebrows frowned. He was not used to this kind of seemingly endless bargaining. In his memory, any order of the Sudan would not allow any violation.
Seeing the Ottoman's hand slowly touching the ivory handle of the long knife in the waist, the Jew took a breath and closed his eyes tightly. He knew that he might be in trouble, and no one could save him.
But imagined that the sharp-cut machete did not cut off. When he slowly opened his eyes, he saw Aschulk picking up the silverware again and looked at it carefully.
"I can make a deal with you," Ashurk said while looking at the silverware. "You helped me in this matter, and then you are free. No one will bother you again, and no one will come." Expose what happened at the time. "
"Really?" The Jews asked in disbelief, but when the Ottomans stared at him, he immediately knew that he was wrong. "Of course, you are a nobleman of Sudan, and you will be confident."
Speaking of which, he watched Ashurk's gaze slowly become calm and calculated.
"So what exactly do you want to know?"
"News about a person." Ashurk gently placed the silverware in front of the Jews. "I want to know everything about this person, especially if he is still alive."
The Jew looked at Ahulk with some surprise. He did not expect that the Ottoman nobleman ran to Sicily just to get a message, but when he heard the name of the man, the Jew immediately understood everything.
It was just that when Ashurk left the shop and looked at the silverware still shining on the table, the Jews felt for the first time that the things in front of him were not so fascinating.
Grogning ’s ship stayed at Kalibo Port for 2 days. How many things happened during these two days, even those parties could not make it clear.
Port officials only knew that the strange shipowner had bought large quantities of cargo import records and various tax forms from them at a considerable price.
The Kalibo knew that the dreaded and curious Ottoman visited the local officials frequently during these two days. The luxurious appearance and the precious gift that everyone took out to make them amazing, made this Ottoman become Kalibo was talked about for a long time.
The abbey of the monastery knew that a local old sailor had visited the monastery in these two days, which made him impressed by the piety of the old sailor.
Two days later, Grogening ’s merchant ship made up all kinds of food and water and left Kalibo. According to the owner ’s own statement, the place they were going to was Naples.
Looking at the Kalibo port gradually away, Grogening thought deeply. The afterglow of the winter shines on the roof of the slightly ruined house in the port. Although it is slightly gorgeous because it is dyed with a layer of gold, it is more or less human. Grogening felt that the sunset had ended. It seemed to be some kind of revelation from God. He looked back to the slightly dim east, looking at the sea where the night descended. Grogening could n’t help but think that everything might be completely different in the future. Idea.
Hoasan Forgazi Ashurk also stood on the deck and looked into the distance ~ EbookFREE.me ~ Contrary to Grogening, he looked at the West, his eyes seemed to have crossed the one that was falling into the sea The setting sun looked towards the continent of Europa.
Ashurk understood how important his mission was. Even when he did not leave Istanbul, he knew whether the trip was successful or not, which might become a crucial event for the Ottoman Empire in the future.
Reaching a dark pocket on the wide belt, Ashurk took a deep breath. In addition to his mission to Europe, he also shouldered a more important mission, and this mission also had a huge impact on the empire. According to the instructions of the Sultan before leaving, even if the mission is unfavorable, it does not matter, but it must be successful.
Giannini was taking people in the cabin to clean up the piles of materials. According to Grogening, after leaving Kalibo, they would not stop at the port along the way, but would not go ashore until Naples, So enough things have been added on board.
Giannini is not unfamiliar with Naples. He used to be a mercenary in the city many years ago.
Maybe I will meet Alexander there, and Jonini pondered while holding the bag of grain on the wall. In fact, he ran to the monastery more than once in these two days, and even followed the scattered monastery far, and saw him in That piece of cliff lingered.
"A lot of things may be clear in Naples."
Despite this intention in his heart, Jonini reminded himself to be careful, otherwise he might be the one who was drunk.
The huge Galen ship sailed towards Naples. At this moment, even the people on the ship themselves did not know their arrival, what would be brought to Naples and even the Apennine peninsula that had already been disturbed.
