Chapter 52: Enamel Box

readx;?β€œ Redheads, redheads! Then another lookout on the wooden tower in the bow of the ship shouted, "What? The commander held his hands on the edge of the wet wooden tower pheasant, and sure enough, he saw a man dangling on the ship that was galloping like a pony, with hair in the shape of a pottery bowl, and red hair with particularly spicy eyes fluttering, and then he was very alert to the side of the ship.

"That coffin is a hoax, hateful Bohemond, bandit, liar!" Atali's galleys immediately raised their sails and paddled, and one by one they sped up, chasing the fleeing ships.

At this moment, on the tower of Atalya, several servants climbed up the pedal path out of breath, and said to Brenus, who turned back, "Her Royal Highness the Purple Princess is on the postpartum couch of Philadofiam, and she heard about it, and she said that this is definitely a trick of Bohemond and Gawain, and you must not believe it. ”

"But the emperor has already issued a decree, and we are only responsible for carrying it out." In the storm roar, Brenus and the Grand Earl of the Navy Assasidus both answered with their hands spread.

Before everyone could say anything, the towers at the northern end of Rhode Island suddenly lit up a bright beacon, indicating that a sudden situation had occurred on the sea, and then the entire stormy holy sea islands were lit one after another to give alarms.

The next day, the islands of Smyrna and Samos began to be in flames, and the island of Lespos could be seen very clearly under the clouds, and the next day Magrendius had brought the injuries of the two archers of the Emperor's Janissaries under control, and wrote a prescription, and the two wounded men were wrapped in wounds and lay on the beds in the corridor, and the other twelve archers stood in a line respectfully, and the leading vice-captain said with a sad and guilty face, "It seems that a great incident has broken out in the whole sea of arches, and it should be about His Majesty's arrest of Bohemond." For the safety of you and Miss Agnes, Mytilene, who has little defense, cannot stay any longer, and please come with us to the fortress of Mycemna. ”

This is, of course, superficial rhetoric, but the inner meaning is, "Twelve of us, we are too strong to supervise you two in the chaos at once, and it is time to send your grandchildren back to Maisem." ”

Magrundius, who was washing his hands in the washbasin, was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then nodded his head and said yes, "Since the flames of Smyrna have been lit, we should also take an attitude of avoiding itβ€”but Plani's manor and most of the fields, cattle, and servants are still here, and I would like to entrust it to my steward, Pucripps, to give me some time to explain." ”

"Yes, I left four of my comrades here. The rest of you, come with me and get ready to go. Soon, at the gate of the manor, a wagon was parked, and the lieutenant and the other seven soldiers were carrying their luggage and weapons into the wagon, and the two wounded were carried up, and the servants of the manor were also parked there carrying the other shoulder, waiting for the grandchildren of Maglendius to give an explanation.

The butler, who had heard the news, took his nephew and a few helpers with him to the parlor of the manor, where on the front seat, Magrundius, who had just been tired and senile from the operation, withered there, his silver-white hair a little messy, while Agnes stood beside his grandfather, looking at Pucreps with disdain and indignation.

"After all these years, it's time for us to talk." Grandpa had a hoarse voice.

"Sir, you can stay at Masem for a while, and the land contracts here can be entrusted to me with peace of mind, and I will defend these properties to the death, whether they are pirates or enemies." The housekeeper rubbed his hands and bowed pretendly, but in fact he blatantly seized the master's property.

Grandpa sighed, "At the beginning, you emasculated yourself from the countryside of Paphragonia and ran to the imperial capital to become a eunuch, but your plan did not succeed and your money ran out, and you were driven out of the relief monastery because you did not have a certificate, and almost froze to death in the streets. At that time, I was a patriarch in the imperial capital, and I pitied you......"

"Master, what are you talking about such old things? Now that my nephew is not also a palace guard, and perhaps your ancestor was only a Paphragonia or a peasant of Brasilon, who can fathom the Lord and know the fate of his predecessors and descendants? ”

"My house is in Antioch, it's 600 years old. It's a shame that you've served me for so many years, and it's still unclear. Maglendius replied, and begged the officials to respect his lintel and lineage, and not to be so cruel to him. But all he drew was the butler's ridicule, and his nephew laughed stupidly. Then the steward became impatient, and went up to the old man to threaten to hand over all the documents of his possessions, and before Maglendius went to the fortress on the north-west of the island, he handed over the deeds and books of the Prani manor and the farms, cattle, mills, and storehouses in his name.

"Remember my kindness and affection for you, Pukripps." Magrunius was pitiful, and then he held up an enamel box with a Persian pattern beside him, "There is also a purple ink and gold edict given to me by His Majesty the former Emperor, you should keep it for me like you cherish your eyes." ”

Pukrips smirked and took a few steps forward and took the box in a hurry, "Of course, I will cherish these things as much as my own property, lord." ”

At this moment a wind passed through the corridor from the living room to the corridor, and brought with it the long sound of horns outside the headland, and an Arnie maiden standing by the window turned her head curiously: she saw a ship flying the flag of the Red Cross, and behind her two smaller ones, under the gray-black sky, cleaving the waves, and several armed merchant ships of Hot Duck coming in the direction of Smyrna Bay, lined up, for the Emperor had previously asked the two city-states to assist the Imperial fleet, So during this time, it became the norm for them to shuttle back and forth in this area.

The disappointed girl exhaled and turned her face away.

Pucripples holds an enamel box and stands at a distance from Maglendius. On the marble floor about ten feet away from the little sunfish, Lord Plani and the little sunfish pressed the switch on the box with great joy, and he wanted to inspect the thick title deed for himself, as well as the edict given by Emperor Mikhail, as long as he handed it over to His Excellency the Grand Governor of the Court, on the one hand, half of the island of Lespos would be assigned to the Imperial Property, and on the other hand, he would be closely connected with the Komnenos royal family, and become the most powerful agent to oversee the place.

With a "pop" sound, the upper part of the enamel box pops open lightly.

Then in an instant, the Ani Maiden and the Bow and Arrow Forbidden Soldiers, all saw the sides of the box, as the switch turned rapidly with two small gears, and then with the excited sparks, the pupils were dizzy when Puclopston flashed violently, and he tried to throw the box away, but it was too late......
