Brother Pasioli was holding a pile of scribbled paper and looking at it repeatedly, and he didn't understand what it was until the Moors threw a stone out and traced the path of the stone that the monk began to seriously consider what the large pile of paper was about.

In fact, Ulliu didn't know the meaning of what the master had written on that piece of paper, but that's what Alexander had explained to him at the beginning.

What is written on the paper is actually a parabolic formula.

For Alexander, sometimes the problem was not how to teach what he knew to others, but how to teach it to these illiterate people of the late Middle Ages, who were not even at the level of a schoolboy.

Even some of the wisest and most famous men had a great deal of knowledge in theology, art, philosophy, and rhetoric, and there were so few people who could learn and master mathematics, physics and chemistry in this day and age, which is why he paid so much attention to Leonardo da Vinci and Brother Pacioli, for they were certainly one of the closest people of our age to the level of "students" to his satisfaction.

For example, the parabolic formula that the monk is now struggling to understand, Alexander once tried to teach Gompati in the simplest way, after all, when it comes to living and learning, there is no one more suitable person than Gompati, but even so, after some effort, Alexander found that learning had little effect, although he could somewhat understand the names of the words "fixed-point", "trajectory", "focus" and "quasi-line" in the formula, but when all these things were linked, Gompati would show his characteristic irritable look, That reminded Alexander of the first time he was seen inciting a riot in a tavern in Pisa.

Because of this, Alexander needed a talent like Brother Parcioli, but fortunately, the Moors did their work beautifully and cleanly, and I believe that even now, Milan does not know the whereabouts of Leonardo da Vinci and his companions, who suddenly disappeared.

Although initially angry at the Moorish half-hijacking, Finch reluctantly endured the persuasion of Brother Pasioli.

Especially after meeting Barondi, da Vinci's temper was slightly better.

Barentia showed great respect for the arrival of the two masters, and she personally welcomed the two dignitaries outside the castle, and after formally apologizing to the two masters for the methods taken by the Moors, Barentia sincerely invited the two masters to stay in Montina for a period of "rest".

Although da Vinci was still a little dissatisfied with the future countess's empathetic arrangement, he also knew that people were actually suggesting that he could take refuge here for the time being during this time of chaos, and even the master who liked to pick on him felt a little embarrassed by such a tactful suggestion.

So the two masters decided to stay in Montina for the time being to see what was going on.

And this look made them fall into a lot of accidents.

Alexander spent most of his time in Montina, which was the most satisfying place for him to work, rest, and even make out with Barondi.

So in the vault, he naturally left a lot of things left behind by his usual writings and paintings, and when he saw that others didn't pay attention to it, or even if he was curious, he didn't quite understand what it was, but Da Vinci was deeply attracted by the content described above.

The first time he entered the vault was at Barondy's invitation, but he never wanted to leave, and as he continued to exclaim in surprise, Barendi had to move to a small table in the other corner of the vault.

Leonardo da Vinci believed that he had met a genius he had never met before, and that the whimsy of this man could be indescribably inspired even by a few strokes on paper, reminded him of the logarithmic ruler that Ulliu had brought with him, and at that moment the master began to feel that he had been abducted into this poor rural territory, and perhaps it was not so bad.

And what they came into contact with made both masters deeply aware that perhaps they should stay a little longer to meet the Count of Montina, who was obviously different from the nobles they had known before, and who was equally fascinated by art, as can be seen from the paintings he kept in the vault, but the Count seemed to have a deeper knowledge of knowledge than those who often used art to decorate themselves, and he obviously studied and explored more deeply.

And this knowledge made the two masters have a strong urge to find out.

So Leonardo da Vinci began to find fault with the fact that his room was not comfortable enough, because he had decided to let himself rest here a little longer, in this case, of course, to make the life more comfortable.

Ulliu immediately complied with the master's request, and not only Leonardo da Vinci, Brother Pacioli, and Zorro Astro, but also the students, craftsmen, and others they brought with them were rearranged to live in more comfortable and spacious accommodations.

Then Uliu, in a somewhat apologetic tone, said, "I beg your pardon, Master, that this place is indeed too shabby, and that it is absolutely not in line with the treatment you deserve, and that it will not please my master, but please bear with me, and according to his master's arrangement, you will soon have a safe and comfortable place for you to use." ”

Leonardo da Vinci did not bother to ask what it was, he was now completely distracted by the things that Alexander had left behind in the vault, and he noticed that some of these things had already begun to be realized in Montina, such as the castle under construction, which used a very complicated winch to transport materials and workers, which was connected and fixed with buckles, and was mainly made of wood, which was pulled by various gears of different sizes, and then driven by a very thick main column. And the impetus for all this is a few oxen on leashes and pulled around the main pillar.

Another surprise to Leonardo da Vinci was what the locals called a chiming bell.

At any given moment, a strange-sounding horn sounded in one of the towers of the castle, and whenever the horn sounded, the Montina who heard the horn began their day's work, but Leonardo da Vinci never saw a figure appear on that tower.

It wasn't until one day when he finally got into the tower with his curiosity that he discovered that there was a strange and large stove that was driven by a lot of rubber bands and that needed to be tightened regularly.

The stove was thriving even in such a hot day, and a large copper pot with a long neck on top of the stove was boiling hot water.

"There's something in that big neck that has a plug attached to it, and when it's tightened, it moves on its own, and every time the plug opens on its own, and then the heat in the pot goes up and blows the horn on it along different pipes." The worker who guarded the bell explained skillfully, and he obviously didn't know how many times he had said it to the curious people who came to visit the clock, especially after receiving the bounty, he became more and more energetic, "It's all made by the Earl, but to be honest I don't like this thing, it looks so weird, but the Lord just likes to fiddle with these weird things." ”

"It's really weird," Da Vinci replied, and although he was then denied the request to climb up to see it, he wasn't as angry as usual, "It's a very interesting thing, isn't it just that the adults did this and didn't make anything else?" ”

"I don't know about this, I just sent it to see this clock." The worker pouted slightly, "But the chief manager should know a lot, and the lord told him to do everything, even including arranging those mistresses for him behind the countess's back......"

Leonardo da Vinci obviously did not have time to listen to the workers talk about the Count's lax news, he was completely attracted by the whimsy, and he even had a vague feeling: "It is a pity that such a man is a nobleman who spends his whole day thinking about such frivolous things as fighting wars and fighting for territories, and he can use his ingenuity to do more meaningful things." ”

However, although he longed to talk to the Count as soon as possible, Leonardo da Vinci also knew that the Count should be busy with important matters at this time, so he decided to stay in Montina for a little longer.

When he told his friends about this decision, Brother Pacioli and Zorro Astro both expressed positive approval, the former because he had found a lot of exhilarating goodies like Leonardo da Vinci, and the latter because the food served here was really delicious.

At the very least, it is said that the Count invented several methods of smoking meat, which made Zorro Astro linger.

However, such good times did not last long, and with the news of the invasion of Ferrara by the Papal army, Montina, who had been peaceful, was immediately enveloped in tension and restlessness.

Leonardo da Vinci had already seen the Montina army, and although his connection with the military was more related to the design of various weapons, it gave him some contact with the army.

In Leonardo da Vinci's opinion, Montina's army was not only different from the Milanese army, but also very different from any army he knew.

He could not tell what the difference was, until the news of the invasion of Ferrara by the Papal army came, and while he feared that the days of peace might be over, he also had a clear sense of the peculiarity of this Montina army.

In the face of a possible war, the Montina soldiers showed either panic at an unknowable fate or a high desire for honor and spoils.

They seemed calm, and it seemed that the war that might come was just a training exercise for them as usual.

And what impressed Leonardo da Vinci most about Montina's army was precisely their training.

Leonardo da Vinci remembered that the Milanese army was almost untrained, and they often practiced routine exercises before the war was about to come, such as recognizing the flags of the enemy they were about to engage with, and learning to understand the various horn commands.

In Leonardo da Vinci's view, it seemed as if the Montina army was training from beginning to night.

Queue, Horn, Queue, Flag, Queue, Spike, Queue, Shoot......

Every day, you can see the Montina soldiers of the brigade training in various formations with spears instead of wooden sticks, and there are all kinds of exercises in which the cavalry still runs on foot on the ground in order to cherish horsepower, and repeatedly attack, disperse, concentrate, and detour.

This kind of training is monotonous and boring, which even Leonardo da Vinci can feel from the sidelines.

The soldiers were just as boring and unbearable, but that's when the harsh military regulations came into play.

Whips and batons were the soldiers' best companions, but what made the unruly Balkans endure it all was the modest but punctual payment of their salaries and the land bounty that supposedly came from Wallachia, the Balkan soldiers' homeland.

When the news of the war first came, it did cause some commotion, because the Count himself was not in Montina, which not only made people like Leonardo da Vinci who did not know Montina a little panicked, but even the people in the territory became uneasy.

However, it soon became apparent that the army seemed to be a little too calm about it, or that it was more appropriate to be indifferent.

The soldiers continued to train day in and day out, and the only thing they seemed to be able to do was to repeat the monotonous training movements every day.

However, this calmed down the panicked lords, and as for Leonardo da Vinci, his initial panic was only an instinctive fear of war, and when he found that this did not seem to affect Montina, he was again attracted by the whimsy of the counts.

As for the arrival of the countess's brother, it did not attract too many people's attention.

But suddenly, war came without warning.

Gompati's sudden arrival made everyone aware of Barondi's determination.

Obviously, the Countess could not tolerate the Papal army threatening Montina's safety, and when Caesar himself believed that it was impossible for Barentia to risk intervening while Alexander was not in Montina, she chose this time to invade Ferrara, preparing to not only annex the city between Montina and Venice in one fell swoop, but also wedge a nail in Romagna while all parties were in chaos.

But no one expected that just when everyone thought that Montina would choose to remain silent in the face of this situation, Barendi decided to send troops to intervene.

On July 29, just as the French won their second great victory in Lombardy, defeated the Milanese army again, and then took advantage of the situation to approach Milan, the Duke of Milan, Ludvico Sforza, fled Milan in a hurry, and the French army successfully entered the city of Milan in the evening of the same day, according to the orders of Barenti, Gompati led two Balkan regiments of the Montina army, and the first regiment of Montina, mainly composed of Agri, totaling 4,500 men, to Ferrara.

After a two-year gap with the Venetians near Oroar in May 1497, the second Romagna broke out again!
