Eagle Flag of Epirus

"We only need Agrignon to provide us with trade settlements and tax exemptions, so that the Genoese Navy can also help you. Recently, you are not plagued by pirates, are you?" It seems that this is clearly a gift to these Greeks.

　　 But what he never expected was that Theodore in front of him had no interest in it.

　　 "I remember that I have rejected you in writing twice, Sir Bantik, why are you still not giving up?" Theodore replied coldly and didn't care about the terms given by the other party.

　　 But this angered the Genoese--

　　 "Your Excellency Theodor, our patience is limited." Bantik made his request impatiently.

　　Since the Venetian power has expanded, the position of Genoese commerce has also been in jeopardy. Although they and the Pisa have dealt with the Venetians together for the time being regardless of their predecessors, their maritime bases have become fewer and fewer. If this continues, their situation is extremely unfavorable. In particular, the Venetians carve up three-eighths of Byzantium's land and directly cut off Genoa and their stronghold on the Black Sea coast.

　　 Therefore, Theodore granting them trade privileges is a top priority for Genoa.

　　 But now, these Greeks are very wary of all Western Europeans and are unwilling to have any cooperation. In their opinion, these guys are no different from the Venetians.

　　 Nowadays, Bantik's arrogant attitude makes Theodor not have any favor.

　　 "It's ridiculous, why should I listen to you Genoese people. Just relying on your few words to make me believe it is ridiculous." Theodore sneered looking at Bantic, and issued an order to dismiss the guest. "It is a great kindness for me to allow you to be able to dock. It is a wishful thinking to allow you to establish trading points. Go away, I don't want to see you appear in front of me again, and the guards will see you off!"

　　 "You... well, you will definitely regret it." The angry Bantic saw the other party's oily salt and went away immediately.

　　 Looking at the back of the other party, Theodor's expression also became gloomy. This man was very wary of the arrival of these Genoese, but at present he also knew that he could not directly tear his face with the other party.

"Is this Agrinion?" Arriving here from Rusnina a few days ago, Justinian did not enter the city, but when he really walked into the city, Justinian was still surprised by the city. The prosperity of Ilovan is completely different from the barrenness of Ilovan Castle.

　　 "It should be here." The old military doctor of Ilovin Fort brought Justinian into the city. After inquiring, the Genoese were staying here today, and the doctor was probably there.

　　 But--

After hesitating for a while, the old military doctor told Justinian what he hadn’t said before, “My lord, I didn’t tell you before—that doctor seemed unwilling to treat the Romans. I’m afraid I’m going to beat you today. Water."

　　 But Justinian shook his head and said, "Why don't you take me to see him." Even so, Justinian has gold coins from the Doria family, and he can definitely persuade him to treat Abdera.

"Okay, sir." Seeing Justinian insisting so, the old military doctor nodded and took Justinian to the port of Agrinion, where Genoese ships docked, if there is no accident. A Genoese doctor proficient in surgery should be on board.

　　 "Who?" Seeing someone approaching, the Genoese sailors stopped Justinian and the others. "What do you want to do!"

　　 "We want to ask to see Dr. Christopher." The old military doctor quickly stated his intention. These Genoese were not only merchants but also citizen soldiers of the Republic of Genoa, and he did not dare to provoke them easily.

　　 "Go and go." But the Genoese sailor looked dismissive and looked like he was going to send someone. "Mr. Christopher has already said that he will not accept any Greek request for medical treatment. How many times do I have to say it! It's really annoying."

　　 "What do you mean?" Justinian looked at the other party and asked. He didn't understand why the other party had such an unwritten request.

But the Genoese sailor who was standing by the ship sneered, "What else do you want? Even if you see Mr. Christopher, you can't convince him. Don't waste your thoughts. He is not the same as you Greeks. Yes, a waste of time!"

　　 He did not put Justinian in his eyes at all. The Genoese and the Byzantine Empire were very unhappy in the previous conflict, so the attitudes of both sides were not friendly. With that, the sailor rudely drove Justinian and the old military doctor away.

　　 However, he never thought of how terrifying the person standing in front of him at this time.

"Go away!" Justinian roared furiously, grabbing the Genoese sailor's wrist~www.ltnovel.com~ and punching the opponent in the face, and knocking the rude Genoese from the deck. Fell off.

　　 Seeing this scene, the old military doctor who was next to Justinian was also shocked and completely unexpected that this adult was so impulsive. But Justinian did it deliberately. If you don't make things bigger, the other party won't come out.

　　 It didn't matter if a sailor fell into the water, but a dozen strong men rushed out of the cabin. They watched the brave intruder clenching a stick in his hand and prepared to teach the young man a hard lesson.

　　 "What's the matter?" At this moment, an old voice sounded, and a single-eyed old man slowly walked out of the boat, staring coldly at the messy deck. He was very dissatisfied that someone disturbed him at this time.

　　 "It's you, Mr. Christopher." The old military doctor recognized the single-eyed old man at a glance. It was the Genoese surgeon.

"It's you again? I said, I don't want to see you Greeks again. Drive them away!" Christopher gave Justinian and them coldly, an inexplicable hatred appeared in his eyes. Turn around and leave.

"Mr. Christopher, I would like to ask you to wait. I have something to show you." Justinian was waiting for this moment. He finally waited for Christopher to come forward. Although I don’t know why he hates the Romans so much, this At that time, I couldn't control much for Abudra's safety.

　　 Christopher, who was called by Justinian, did not stop, but at this moment a man's voice came from the dock.

　　 "Who would dare to make trouble on my boat?" From a long distance, Bantik heard that someone was making trouble on the boat. The man who had been annoyed by Theodore suddenly became furious.
