"No, Kabeamia, as long as my kingdom can master the power of demons, it will be invincible." Gawain vetoed Kabeamia's conjecture, then turned around and looked her in the eye, "This demon's name is called Money. ”

"Money, after the end of the Holy War, rises in this ocean?" The female consuls became more and more confused.

"Yes, that's my prophecy, but it will soon come true. I have been in Italy for quite a long time, and I have a deep understanding of the state of things in the whole ocean. Why is the land of the Franks so wild and backward? It was because the Crescentists and Danish pirates had ravaged the seas for a long time, bringing the maritime trade to a standstill, and the powerful churches and monasteries began to cast gold and silver into ritual vessels to prevent looting, hiding them in cellars, and the previously unified areas were also fragmented - the circulation of money was seriously insufficient, trade returned to the level of barter, and gold and silver coins became signs of accounting. But now, as soon as the pilgrims' expeditions open the passage between Asia Minor and the Levant, the maritime trade will resume, and a large number of Franks will come to the Holy Land, and they will envy all that it has here, and will be eager to bring luxury goods and customs back to their distant homeland, so that the maritime city-states will rise with the help of the east wind, and the merchants and fleets of Venice, Pisa, Amalfi, and ****** will flock to the Levant. Once shipping resumed, the demand for luxury goods was strong, and now the Frankish and Norman lords, who had made great fortunes through hard battles, were soon channelled into the hands of the merchants of these city-states, and money, a yellow and clear thing with great magical power, would shine brightly. Let everyone who has them become hot - faith will soon give way to money, and then decide the Levantine seas to compete and fight. It will be the demons behind it - gold and silver. ”

"So, what should we do?" Kabeamia is even very smart. But Gawain's prophecy still seems to be understood.

"Get a piece of the pie first, and use the power of the devil as well. We divide the lords who have arms with money, and we use arms against merchants who have money, so we are naturally invincible. "Gao Wencheng is in the chest.

"Where's the soup?"

Gawain took the muttering holy sister in his arms, "It's chaos now, and I don't have a clear answer."

"That About the Placement of True Believers"

"I have my own faults, but Holy Sister, I have been negligent about your teachings recently." Actually, the meaning of the high text comes. It was really necessary to know the Letters of Paulicianism, because he had recently acquired Anna's excellent genes and could read any doctrine and text without hindrance. But Kabeamia's face was red to her neck, her eyes watery, she pointed to the large, warm bear blanket laid out in the scarlet tent, hummed softly, and then took him by the hand and walked to it.

It was a gift from Cuman Khan to Gawain, which was later given to Kabeamia. The blanket was spread on the ground, still in the posture of a mighty bear, with its limbs spread out and its mouth outstretched.

"This way. It's about the same as you. After pointing to the dead bearskin, Kabeamia sat down with her slender feet in her arms. It is clear that she has a peachy misunderstanding of the topic of "doctrinal exploration."

Gawain didn't refuse, and did imitate the posture of the dead bear. But it's the other way around, lying on your back on a warm top. Putting her hands on her head, she said, "Holy sister, sit on top of me, and read the essence of your doctrine to me as you move." ”

The holy sister is really annoyed and angry now, what a shameless request this is!

But after a while, the military servant outside heard the intermittent and disorganized reading of the golden hand consul, accompanied by the flickering candles in the scarlet tent, and sat down farther away, and Sabina poked her head out and sniffed him intimately. Diem, who was nibbling on piece after piece of bread, shouted, "The Grand Duke and the Archoness are really hardworking, I seem to have heard a discussion of the essence of theology, but the shadow of the Archoness seems to be a little wrong, what new etiquette is she doing?" ”

Muzafi Adin rushed up and slapped him, "Do you want to go in and discuss with them?" Goliath, who was a little stupid at this time, looked at the shadow's movements, and finally realized that something was wrong, so he hurriedly crouched down on the side of the fence, and continued to nibble on the bread.

About two days later, a group of pilgrims along the Marash Road, thousands of people, also walked along the west bank of the Falfa River, walking in billowing smoke and dust.

Now all the procession of pilgrims regrouped in the wilderness beneath the city of Atta, and tents like ants covered the land.

At the meeting of the cardinals, Bohemond began to face to face, accusing Gawain and Baldwin of their crimes:

unwarranted denial of entry into the city of Adana to wounded believers;

During the previous raid on Tarsus, there was suspicion of killing believers;

Acting presumptuously, he entrenched himself in Cilicia and attacked Prince Reuben, an ally of the Ecumenical Church.

Gawain and Baldwin, on the other hand, took it upon themselves to display the Holy See's letters, pointing to the words "My heart is very comforted", and vigorously retorted and ridiculed Bohemond.

The whole situation was once again in chaos, but thanks to the mediation of Ademar, Peter and Flanders Robert, the situation did not deteriorate.

What is even more peculiar is that this time Bohemond was in a big rage, but Raymond and Robert of Normandy. Curtis and Stephen of Blois stood idly by, and Gawain keenly felt, "They must have been at odds with the Normans during their previous march." ”

So after returning to the camp, Gawain learned from the spies that all the contradictions originated from the precious war horses: the Normans kept all the horses in Armenia for their own use, even if they were unbearable to ride on the battlefield, they also sent them to pull heavy supplies, and did not support their companions.

Now there were only two or three hundred horses left in Raymond's army, and the two Robert and Stephen, each with less than a hundred, especially the Count of Normandy, Robert, who was already in debt and poor, and now his mount was also sick and dead, and he could only walk up and down the barracks all day, begging from his companions: Lend me your mount on the battlefield of the future, dignified Robert. Curtis, a descendant of William the Conqueror, must not walk barefoot on the battlefield to fight!

"If you can't do it, you can only ride mules, donkeys, and even bulls." Robert made the worst plan, he begged Stephen and Raymond, but the other party was helpless and helpless.

That night, however, Gawain brought thirty horses of Cappadocia and handed them into the hands of the stunned Count of Normandy. (To be continued.) )
