Eagle Flag of Epirus

Vol 4 Chapter 20: Thread of Destiny (Part 2)

In front of Anastasius, Nicky Fruss told the whole story of last night, not just the Grand Duke Anastasius, even the face of Justinian who knew something about it before. The look is also very solemn.

As the messenger of Nicaea, it is not surprising that the Moria nobles left Fort Wiscari after knowing that they had no intention to join the Lascaris family. However, the Earl George tried to prevent anyone from noticing it. He left the Byzantine guard who killed Watergate, which was obviously abnormal. And in the mouth of Nicky Fruss, they also realized that Earl George's cover-up might be someone else's instigation and another plan. More importantly, there are a number of Assassins lurking in the city, which makes Anastasius' heart cold. Although the Byzantine Empire does not have many intersections with these pagan killers, these Assassins who almost assassinated Saladin were successful. , Everyone will be terrified, especially thinking that these assassins might slit your throat in your sleep one night.

"Are you sure you didn't say anything untrue, Nicky Fruss?" The old man took a deep breath and looked at Nicky Fruss in front of him with a heavy gaze, hoping to see if there was any falsehood in it.

"I'm sure, Grand Duke, I can see everything clearly." But even though Nicky Fruss was a little flustered, it was caused by the unpredictable recollection of what happened before. Ana, who has experienced countless winds and waves in her life. Stasius knew that he was not lying, but the old man hoped in his heart that it was not true.

It can be said that a wave of unrest has occurred again, and that George Frontier must have done something like that in an attempt to disadvantage Viscari, and the successive occurrences have made Grand Duke Anastasius physically and mentally exhausted.

"Are you still hesitating, Your Excellency? Now we only need to hunt down those assassins throughout the city. It's not too late to strengthen the defense of Fort Wiscari." Justinian looked at the old man in front of him and asked. He didn't understand why. At this juncture, Anastasius was still hesitating.

At this moment, the old man in front of him suddenly glanced at Nicky Fruss and said, "You should withdraw first. I have something to tell Justinian alone."

"Yes, Grand Duke." Nikifrus didn't dare to neglect and quickly retreated. There were two people left in the dark room, one old and one young, and both sides were watching each other with their eyes.

Suddenly the serious old man let out a sigh, "You shouldn't have come, Justinian, if it weren't for your presence, the Moria nobles would have no illusions to reject the invitation of the Lascaris family. If I'm not wrong, the other party should have been murderous. Since Moria’s nobles have made it clear that they will not stand on the side of Nicaea, Lascaris will never want him to be Epirus’ help. "I have seen too many intrigues, and Anastasius fully believes that Nicaea will do this. He now finally understood why the prompt on the turquoise stone was Justinian, it was because of Justinian's appearance that everything changed. He originally wanted to take the fire from the Moria nobles to escape from the land of right and wrong, but the young man in front of him got them involved in a sinister storm.

Of course Justinian understood what the old man was saying, and shrugged his shoulders indifferently: "That said, but after all, the greed of the nobles you expected caused all this. I had no interest in you. "

"Then what are your intentions when you come here?" The old man asked suddenly, looking at the young man in front of him, deafening like a bell.

Facing the question of Grand Duke Anastasius, Justinian said frankly without concealing: "Princess Odosia and her daughter are the purpose of my trip, nothing more."

"Is it Muzifius' request? That's it. His eyes are so sharp that he picked out such an incredible little guy like you." Hearing Justinian's answer, Anastasius immediately revealed Ran's expression, in this case everything will be explained. It seems that Justinian is not just a member of the Dukas family according to the rumors, but actually still has connections with his original owner, Muzfius.

"As long as you do me a favor, I can promise you to solve this trouble for you." Justinian made a promise. He was unwilling to stay in this place of right and wrong, but wanted to learn from Duke Leo. Taking back Odosia from the hands of mother and daughter Justinian could do nothing without the help of the old man in front of them.

Seeing this scene, Anastasius showed a weird look, and then let out a wry smile and sighed slightly: "Justinian, do you believe in such things as fate?"

Justin Ni was slightly startled, why the old man in front of him suddenly asked himself such a strange question, but he was caught off guard, but he didn't know how to answer it.

At the same time, on the sea south of Fort Wiscari, a fleet of Venetians is gathering ~www.ltnovel.com~ They come from Crete, there are as many as thousands in number. A warship fleet of this size cannot be easily mobilized by ordinary people. As the commander of this fleet, he was Ranieri Dandro, son of the Governor of Venice. Although his father was seriously ill in Constantinople, he had to preside over the overall situation as the Duke of Crete of the Republic. , And now he led the Venetian navy stationed in Crete out of the nest.

And his goal is nothing else, it is the Fort Wiscari where the Moria nobles are located.

In fact, before, the Venetians had no idea where the nobles of Moriah hid in the southern Peloponnese, but Ranieri received a special guest not long ago.

"I didn't expect that there would be cooperation between us." Looking at the Byzantine in front of him, Ranieri's expression was meaningful.

But George Frontier in front of him didn’t care about the teasing in the other party’s words, saying: "This is normal, but the father is not in Constantinople who provided us with a lot of information about Flanders for our emperor in Nicaea. Is the information of Henry of Valle? It’s just an exchange of interests. I think if this is successful, the victory will be enough to give you a large enough advantage in the Venetian Parliament, so that the excommunication of the patron at the Holy See may be It can also be lifted as soon as possible."

This sentence immediately hit Ranieri’s sore spot. His father, Governor Dandolo, was desperate to do his best for the Republic, but he was expelled by the Holy See because he ransacked Zara and Constantinople. The old man who is now seriously ill can only return to Venice in the foreign land of Constantinople. As a son, Ranieri certainly wanted to lift the vatican excommunication order for his father.

But he was hesitating again as to whether what the Byzantine was saying was true.
