On the other side, Edward gave him a look. Seeing that look, the Prince of Moscow roughly understood something, but he didn't speak and just waited.

Edward's subsequent introduction also explained his identity, proving Rostislav's suspicion that he was the illegitimate son of King Andrew.

However, what made the Prince of Moscow somewhat concerned was that Edward said that Zyrgey took the initiative to follow him after hearing that he wanted to see the Prince of Moscow.

But the strangeness only lasted for a while, and the Prince of Moscow did not take it seriously.

He thought it was because the illegitimate son wanted to get to know more people and prepare for the future.

After all, he was an illegitimate son, and his half-brother, who was bound to go into exile, was unlikely to be able to support him - if nothing else, he couldn't stay with his brother because of his aunt's attitude.

Perhaps due to his illegitimate status, Zyrgery was very reserved when facing Rostislav, and there was obvious envy in his eyes.

Obviously they are similar in age, but Rostislav is already a well-known general in various countries.

For him personally, what struck him was Rostislav's status as a direct descendant. After all, he was an illegitimate son with no status and was ordered around by others.

However, Zyrgery quickly adjusted his expression and mood and began to tell the prince of Moscow about the past and present life of Hungarian paganism.

Zyrgery obviously had a deep understanding of Hungarian local paganism, and through his explanation, Rostislav was able to understand this sect.

As early as when the Magyars were still wandering in the grasslands, this belief system headed by Isten, the god of the sky, accompanied them, believing that the gods would choose messengers to come among the people and lead them to a better future.

Even when they came to Pannonia, this belief still existed in people's hearts. The Magyar raiders fought and killed in the name of Isten, spreading the killing and death, and the reputation of the gods far away.

It was not until the reign of King Stephen that the country was converted to Christ, and the king was crowned King of Hungary by the Pope.

Although the king led the king to convert to Christianity, just like Ross, it was easy to convert, but it was very difficult to popularize the Christian faith in this land.

King Stephen himself suppressed countless pagan riots and used fire and sword to promote the faith, but even so, the actual scope of the Kiev Church's control was still very narrow.

After his death, Hungary fell into civil strife, foreign invasion and pagan rebellion. Chaos became the theme song of the country. During this period, pagans made a comeback. Countless churches were burned and countless priests were killed.

The pagan temples that had been torn down were rebuilt.

The largest pagan rebellion occurred in 1046. The scope of the rebellion spread to the entire country. It was not until the leader of the enemy rebels, Chief Watta, was killed that the chaos came to an end.

However, the power of paganism is still strong. Out of the need for a united war against paganism, after everything was over, King Andrew did not launch a bloody trial against the pagans. Hungary, which had experienced decades of chaos, could no longer withstand such a large-scale trial.

Internal cleaning.

It is also for this reason that Janos, the son of Watta, still serves as the local chief and inherits everything from his father. He is still very prestigious among the pagans today.

However, compared to his fanatical father, Janos seemed very calm, and he acted honestly as a vassal of the Arpad family without any signs of rash action.

Janos chose to sit on the sidelines during the previous civil war. It seems that the pagan chief has no intention of intervening in the internal affairs of the Arpad family.

The chief was now said to be staying on his property, and what happened in Fekheshwar did not seem to interest him.

After listening to Zheergyi's explanation, Rostislav first glanced at Zheergyi unexpectedly. This illegitimate son of the king actually knew so much about things in the countryside.

But he didn't think much about it. He was digesting the information, and that's when Edward's words came in.

"Rostislav, what are you doing? Why are you so curious about Hungarian paganism?"

Edward really wonders why he cares about those pagans.

"That's because I always have a bad feeling..."

The Prince of Moscow rode closer to Edward, and then told him about his worries and what he had experienced in the market.

There were so many pagans near Fekhshvar that they openly held pagan religious ceremonies under the city walls of God, and the city was forced to ignore them.

Rostislav smelled something wrong in the pagan air. It was an indescribable feeling. He had experienced that feeling in Kiev on the eve of the pagan uprising.

And the grease deal, and the pagan emblem that was handed to him, it all added up to a disturbing feeling.

Therefore, he was very worried. It would be terrible if the pagans in Fekhshvar rioted.

Listening to Rostislav's words, Edward did not immediately deny it, but began to ponder and think.

As an Anglo-Saxon nobleman who had lived in Hungary for decades, he was very clear about the situation in this land and naturally understood the fact that this land was full of pagans.

And he also has some of his own experiences, such as being attacked by pagans when he was a child, and the reason for their attack was his identity as a Christian.

This land is also like that. Even when walking on the road, some places are not very safe.

Although Rostislav's worries have no beginning or end, the risk does exist.

"Then what do you want us to do?"

After thinking about it for a while, Edward felt that he still couldn't ignore Rostislav's feelings.

He asked Rostislav directly what he intended to do, for he knew that was why the Prince of Moscow was here.

"I hope you will keep the troops in the camp alert and prepare for chaos that may occur at any time. The same is true for me. Also, please find a few more trustworthy Magyars. I will investigate it myself.

"

The Prince of Moscow planned to conduct a thorough investigation in the city himself, find the old man's tribe, and inquire about the news.

Although he could speak Magyar, he was really unfamiliar with that language and had to find a few people to cooperate with him.

Edward agreed with all Rostislav's words, and it was nothing.

As for Edward's manpower, he was in trouble. He didn't have many men to lend to Rostislav.

You must know that maintaining this army depends entirely on his people. Without his people, the farmers and herdsmen would have collapsed long ago.

What's more, those Magyar nobles are not something he can mobilize, and they are not his subordinates.

Zyorgy is suitable because he knows many languages ​​and also understands Hungarian paganism.

But Edward couldn't bring himself to let him follow Rostislav.

He thought he didn't have that much face. He couldn't command those Magyar nobles, let alone the king's illegitimate son in front of him.

Although he was only beaten and scolded by Mrs. Anastasia, his identity was there.

The blood of the Arpad family is flowing in his body, and nothing can change this fact.

"Let me go with Lord Rostislav, Lord Edward, I think I am qualified for the job."

Zheerji interjected, which surprised Edward a little. He didn't expect that Arpad's illegitimate son would take the initiative to take over the task and relieve the embarrassment.

"Since they all asked for it, let's go to Zyrgey. Sir Rostislav, he is indeed the most suitable."

But Rostislav just glanced at the young man again. His initiative made the prince very concerned, and he suspected whether he had any plans.

But he didn't refuse. The person in front of him was indeed the most suitable, and his plan was nothing more than close.

"In that case, Zhelgi, then come with me and we'll talk about how to investigate on the way."

Rostislav said as he turned the horse's head, and Zyrgey followed behind him, like a prince's entourage.

Edward watched them leave, and when he looked at the back, he felt strange, why Zheerji was so active this time, unlike the usually silent one.

After thinking for a while, but unable to come up with a result, Edward could only shrug his shoulders and forget about it. He had other work to deal with.

————————

"Really? Boss, it turns out that cheese sales are so good during this period."

"Yes, there are so many foreigners recently. Although it makes the street too noisy, it also makes our business better. Speaking of which, these foreigners are really generous. They buy so much every time. I have had several purchases this month.

This time I went out of the city to find farmers for supplies."

"Thank you very much, boss."

"It's nothing, nothing, it's nothing."

In front of a cheese seller's stall on the streets of Fekhshvar, Rostislav, dressed as a wine merchant, was having a lively chat with the boss.

This excitement was mainly due to the fact that Rostislav gave the boss a bottle of wine, so he was able to obtain this information.

If not for the sake of the wine, who would want to talk so much with a Russian who speaks poor Magyar and therefore always has a translator by his side.

Recently, this Russian man has been asking people everywhere in the market, mainly about the flow of goods, but no one finds it strange.

After all, after the arrival of the team of Russian princes, wine merchants can be seen everywhere in Fekhshvar. These Russians brought a lot of wine from Moldavia. They sell wine here, and naturally they also need to buy some goods.

.

After bidding farewell to the boss, Rostislav and Zergy found a tavern to sit down, and the Prince of Moscow quickly ordered beer and barbecue.

I ran around all day again today and was really tired. He was already moving his index finger.

Before the waiter came to deliver the food, the Prince of Moscow carefully looked at the documents in his hand and made some calculations that were incomprehensible to outsiders. As the calculations progressed, his expression became more and more serious.

It wasn't until the tavern waiter brought the black bread that Rostislav's expression relaxed, and he subconsciously hollowed out the black bread the tavern waiter brought to use as a plate. The same was true for Zergi opposite.

"Lord Rostislav, I don't understand why you are so focused on the investigation of merchants. Together with the investigations of others, we have visited almost all traders, big and small, in Fekhshvar in the past three days."

Zheergyi also looked tired. He really didn't understand what Rostislav was doing these days, which made him curse. What on earth is going on? It's such a mess.

Initially, they were looking for the tribe Rostislav mentioned selling grease, but they found nothing.

Just when Zergy thought everything was over, the prince of Moscow took him and started running around the streets and alleys of the city, asking if there were any bulk orders for various products.

Sometimes you even have to spend money to get it from the boss, which really makes him confused.

Zheerji once secretly read these things, but soon he fainted because he couldn't understand them at all.

He really can't understand those dense records that are so detailed that they even include selling oil residue. It's okay to ask him to read some biblical works, but he really doesn't catch a cold with these data, and it's difficult to catch a cold, and he doesn't know Rostislav
