Chapter 53: The beautiful legend of Sicily

Snow-white beaches, blue skies, clear water like emeralds, all of which make up an intoxicating beauty.
Walking on the beach, every step is stuck in the soft and slightly rough sand. The skin is slightly itchy by the fine sand, and the beautiful toes will move involuntarily.
Sophia raised her head and smiled silently at Alexander. Her travel outfit looked a bit cumbersome, not the same as the gypsy clothes she often wore before, but at this time she was carrying the skirt and bare feet on the sand. Walking.
Alexander touched Sophia's head, the girl's soft and thick long hair was smooth to the touch, and her combed bun made her look taller than her peers.
"Sophia, we're going to the opposite of the sea," Alexander raised his finger to the distant sea, where the waves were rolling and the clouds were sailing. Seeing Sophia's open arms made a big movement, Alexander laughed. "Yes. There are many cities there, just like the ones you have seen before, and they are much bigger than Sicily and have more people. "
Alexander said to stop and learned Sophia's arms wide open, as if to embrace what he said, and said aloud: "It's big and big, not only Naples, but also Venice, Milan, Genoa, Bologna, "Speaking of this, he stopped and turned to look at Sophia who listened to him." The most important thing is that there is Florence. Do you know that we will go to Florence someday. "
Sophia nodded, she seemed to understand Alexander's determination at this time, so she nodded so hard that her figure, which was quite different from her peers, also waved up and down.
"Sophia, this world is really big," Alexander took Sophia's shoulders and took her to continue walking on the beach. "And those things that are happening in those places are also particularly fresh, and we will see many from Things I have n’t seen before, I heard a lot of grotesques I ’ve never heard of before. Maybe you will be fascinated by some of them. "
Listening to Alexander's words, Sophia stopped and pressed her chest firmly, then patted Alexander's chest again. There was some seriousness in her eyes, which seemed to be refuting something seriously.
Alexandria realized it after thinking about it. During this time with Sophia, he had already slowly understood some of her eyes, and now looking at her with a slightly unpleasant look, Alexander knew that she was indeed refuting herself.
"Yes, we will not be fascinated by other things. We are in trouble together." Alexander laughed, knowing that for Sophia, from the moment she left the tribe, her destiny had been connected with him. So she always watched him sensitively, always seeming to be afraid that his attention would move away from her.
Sophia smiled, and obviously she was satisfied with Alexander's words, and then she looked towards the passing ships on the far sea: "Ah?"
"Yes, we are going to take those boats," seeing Sophia's bitter image, Alexander asked a little curiously, "Sophia, you will not be seasick, how did you come to Sicily before?"
Sophia's face was still bitter. She pulled on the cuffs of her travel clothes. Then she remembered that although the clothes were not as good-looking as she was, they were very expensive. Feeling sad and vomiting, and sometimes seemingly paralyzed and powerless, looking at the rich expression on her face, Alexander followed with a sigh of exclamations of "oops", "bad" and "too scary".
"We still have to take a boat," until Sophia complained like a "final", Alexander shook his head helplessly and said to the girl, "We have to go to many places, of course, more places have to be walked after, and there are I ’m talking about these places, maybe we will go further in the future, do you know Sophia, this world is really big, even bigger than people think now, especially over there ... " Alexander ’s hand was pointing westward along the beach, where there was a larger expanse of sea.
It ’s over there. It ’s much farther than Naples, maybe a hundred times as far. In a different world, those places can only be reached by a long boat ride. "
Sophia has an incomprehensible look on her face. Although she is a roaming gypsy, it is difficult to think about these words of Alexander. For her, the trip to Sicily by boat from other places has been like another. In the world, while in the tribe, some old people would say that there are larger tracts of land and many cities in the south, but no one has ever told her that there is a larger ocean and world in the west.
What would that look like?
Natural curiosity and wandering habits made Sophia's eyes look westward along Alexander's fingers, but all she saw was large swaths of blue water.
Then she shook her head in confusion.
"I can't see it here," Alexander pampered and patted Sophia's head, even on the coast west of Castile, which was a few months away by boat A place where you can only get there. "Seeing Sophia's unbelievable expression, Alexander smiled." Those places are much bigger than Sicily, and even bigger than the whole of Europe. Compared with there, Europe is like a little bit. "
Said that while shaking his head slightly, he knew that his analogy was actually inappropriate.
Maybe Europe can't compare with the new world, but neither the artistic civilization nor the surging era that has come gradually can be compared with the new world that is still hazy under an original veil.
The Mediterranean in this era is probably already in front of the whole world. Alexander sighed a little, and more curiosity was brewing in his heart.
Why is this era?
Why is this?
Why did a dazzling light suddenly appear on the Mediterranean Sea far away from the East after a thousand years of darkness?
Alexander thinks of the countless books about this era that are so rich and sweaty. In those works, people are always asking the same question non-stop: Why!
Why is it Italy in this era?
Although there have been various calls for breaking the shackles since a long time ago, and the Hussite War launched more than a hundred years ago to gain more freedom in religion, it really made this voice burst out. The great power is a bloodless revolution that takes humanism as its weapon and revives the art of ancient Greece as its banner.
But the impact of this "war" is so great and far-reaching, that even in the future generations far away from this era, whenever people want to write a history book of human civilization, it is inevitable to mention the end of the fifteenth century This is an exciting era.
"Do you know Sophia, we are actually lucky," Alexander said, looking at the sea in the distance. "I mean we live in this place at this time, not when and where, which allows us to see a lot of things. "
Sophia looked far away with Alexander's gaze, but she saw nothing, so she turned to look at Alexander with some doubt.
"I can't see it here," Alexander smiled helplessly, perhaps because he had to leave a familiar place, and this island has a special meaning to him, Alexander felt that he seemed to be a little sentimental, but he continued He opened his arms again "but I will see you soon, maybe even more than we want to see."
In a flash, some familiar names flashed through Alexander's mind.
Botticelli, Raphael, Donatello, these or skillful artistic masters with brilliant talents or ideas, as well as Titian and Caravaggio who inherit their great artistic heritage but are unruly.
The names of each of them are combined with countless great artistic masterpieces handed down from later generations, and even the name of Michelangelo, which is somewhat different from the rumors in Alexander's view, will soon shine with extraordinary brilliance.
This is because Alexander knew that with his patronage, Michelangelo, who had finally got rid of the embarrassment, would leave Sicily with him.
If there is no deviation in history, then this young man who does not seem to be outstanding now will go to Rome, where he will find an opportunity for him to show his extraordinary talents, and then embark on the road of the dazzling master.
And what most aspired to Alexander was naturally hoping to see Finch.
If there are many people who can be called masters in this era, but there can be only one genius, then this laurel can only be worn on Leonardo Da Vinci's head!
Maybe every time there will be a person who is not only shocked but also gorgeous, and will even make his contemporaries completely desperate.
So in this era, Leonardo da Vinci is undoubtedly such a person.
Artists, mathematicians, architects and geniuses, any of these titles is enough to be proud, but Leonardo Da Vinci greedily put all these titles into his arms.
"Sophia, we will meet a lot of people," Alexander walked Sophia slowly on the beach. His eyes had crossed the strait in front of him and cast it on the other side of the city that had just experienced war but still had great power. The city is called Naples. "If you want, you might meet some people you can't imagine, but they are amazing people. Compared with them, we are as inconspicuous as the sand on this beach."
Sophia tilted her head, as if thinking about the meaning of Alexander's words, and then she straightened her small head and showed a serious look to pull Alexander's sleeve hard, and then pushed him forward.
Alexander was a little strange, and then he suddenly understood.
"Haha!" Alexander laughed a lot. He turned and hugged Sophia in a circle. "Yes Sophia, we are not sand, we are ourselves. Those masters may be great, but we don't have to look at them, maybe we can do more than They are even more amazing. "
Sophia smiled on her face. In fact, she didn't know what the words of Alexander meant, or even what kind of future she was facing. But when she saw Alexander laughing, she laughed.
A black young man in a servant costume came from a distance and saw the master who was joking ~ EbookFREE.me ~ Uliu stood and bowed to salute.
Alexander looked at this Moorish youth with some amusement, not knowing what, he always felt that he looked like a dirt bun in front of this Moorish youth.
Think of the rules that have been established in the family since this black guy became his servant, Alexander has a funny feeling as if he was chained.
A girl who will be with you for life, a servant who chooses to loyal to him because of love, and a title of guardian of the lighthouse.
This is what has been achieved so far after Alexander came to this era.
"Dear Master, the ship is ready," Uliu's customary salute, customary report, that serious look made anyone have to converge and frolic, and listen carefully to his words. "Osborne Lord is waiting for you on the pier. "
Alexander nodded and it was time to go.
Goodbye, Sicily. Hope to see you again soon.
Alexander whispered to himself, and then he led Sophia to the pier not far away.
Blue sky and white clouds, blue waves, Alexander stood on the boat and looked at the coast that was going away, and there was a sudden anger in my heart!
Are you really willing to leave Sicily!
Is it not because of the persecution of the noble parliamentary group that you have to leave!
Is almost, as long as you seize Krian, you can take the opportunity to sin Alfonso!
Then even if it cannot stand alone with the noble parliament, it can become one of the important people in Sicily.
The wine of power has been put on the table, but he has to be forced to leave!
Sicily, this place with beautiful legends, you must come back!
Because this is the source of everything!
