Chapter Fourteen The Third Fragment

The appearance of Grand Duke Anastasius completely broke the plan of Leosgros, who was indeed the leader of the Moria nobles, but this was only because the autocratic man was old and unwilling to interfere in secular affairs.

More time is spent in the monastery doing his own literary creation, but today this old guy appears here, which is really as expected by Duke Leo.

Leo had difficulty guessing what the old man wanted to do, but he didn't dare to act rashly at this time. The noble status of Anastasius was not only his title of autocratic duke, but also because of the Latino victory.

At that time, it was this man who paid the unimaginable ransom for the Achaia vassal state to allow the Moria nobles to evacuate safely and escape to the south. When he arrived in Fort Wiscar, many down-and-out nobles also received the generosity of the old man.

Therefore, its prestige among the nobles can be imagined. More importantly, the important defensive force in Fort Wiscarri was also composed of the guards of this autocratic public, so no one dared to attack Anasta

Sius has any disrespect.

However, what surprised Leosgros even more was Justinian in front of him. He seemed to be completely surprised by the appearance of Anastasius in front of him, and seemed to have expected his appearance.

But in fact Justinian was also facing the old man in front of him, and the other party was completely different from anyone he had contacted. The existence of such a superior person was not in Justinian's memory. This is

The most terrible thing is that Anastasius has enough power but Justinian knows nothing about him. To some extent, his fear of this old man is even greater than that of Alexe III and

Tsar Karoyan. More importantly, the appearance of the other party gave him another feeling!

But after Anastasius appeared, he did nothing. At his command, the dinner was presented at some point. The main dish was roasted lamb, bacon, and cooked sea fish. The side dish was carrot.

, cabbage, garlic, onion, pumpkin, lettuce, are not very luxurious, but they are well-dressed. The nobles are like a family having dinner happily, and Anastasius is like the elders and juniors with Moria.

The nobles talked about some gossip, and they did not shy away from Justinian, but they were really just gossips, such as which noble children had just grown up, which girl was at the age of getting ready to get married, and whether she was ready to marry.

, but he did not mention the matter that he had discussed with Justinian about the Tripolis property before. Anastasius did not even take a look at Justinian.

The atmosphere was a strange silence. Anastasius did not express his opinion, and no one dared to say anything more, including Leos Gross, who was ready to take the opportunity to win over Justinian.

This time was spent, and a dinner soon ended.

I saw the old man slowly stood up from his seat with the help of his servant, looked at Justinian and said lightly: "I think you should be tired today, it's not too late now, what do I think there is

It’s better to solve the important things the next day! What do you think?" The old man smiled when he said this, but it puts invisible pressure on people, and no one dared to raise objections.

Justinian's reaction was also very calm. He knew that since the old man had already made his statement, it would be a waste of time to continue to negotiate, but he had no interest in it. He stood up politely and said goodbye, and Justinian took the initiative.

He left with Arslan, and a banquet dedicated to negotiating and taking the opportunity to solicit Justinian ended in vain, and all the nobles looked very good.

And Grand Duke Anastasius also noticed this, and looked at Justinian leaving, sighed slightly, "It seems that you are still blaming me."

"Where do we dare to disrespect you, Lord Lord! It's just that the best time was obviously!" Of course the nobles did not dare to express their dissatisfaction, but they were still unwilling to accept it. Since Justinian had already admitted him

If you privately invade the fiefs of the nobles, it will not be difficult to force them to submit with both soft and hard methods.

But Anastasius sighed, "Not that simple, you underestimate that boy too much. The Latins who were defeated in the Alfios River rely on more than just marching and fighting.

The talent is so simple, otherwise he would not have been a [little fox]." After saying that, the old man tightened the crutch in his hand.

...

...

...

On the other side, Justinian and Arslan got on the carriage as soon as they left the Governor's Mansion and returned directly to his hospitality residence. Arslan also found that the young man in front of him looked a little ugly.

What he had never seen before, Justinian always gave him a sense of calmness and confidence, but now it is completely different. There was a hint of shaking in his blue eyes.

"Master Justinian, are you... okay?" Ahlslan asked carefully at Justinian, but the young man in front of him did not say a word.

"Let Nickifrus go, before the other party found clues about us." After a long time, Justinian, who broke free from his contemplation, seemed a little tired and waved his hand and said.

"Let him go? But-" Arslan looked at Justinian in surprise. As soon as they arrived at the residence arranged by the nobles of Molia, they took the opportunity to ambush halfway after Nickifrus left.

He knocked him out and tied him back. This is why the other party couldn't find Nicky Fruce for a while and had to let Baron Isaac replace him. Justinian only learned from Nicky Fruce's mouth

There is a lot of information here that was not known to him, such as the identities of various nobles of Molia, the important figures among them, and the Grand Duke Anastasius who was hidden behind the scenes and was not known to the outside world. But now, Joss

But Tenny asked Arslan to let go of Nickifrus, who was tied to the wood-room behind, which puzzled Arslan.

"But what if something goes big, why not..." Arslan's face showed the unique ferocity of the Turks, and proposed to kill and silence him.

However, Justinian gave the other party a blank look and said, "That's a forced step to go. Nicky Fruce said a lot, something that is not important and something that shouldn't be said. He is a smart man.

It would be easier for him to hide this matter from him. Otherwise, he would lose the blame. Now we can no longer reveal any flaws." A sigh couldn't help but sigh, and a trace of it appeared in Justinian's eyes.

Solemn, and seeing the expression on Justinian's face, Arslan also realized that Justinian was not just a simple statement. It seemed that there was something important. No more to say anything, Arslan

Then he stepped down and dealt with the release of Nicki Fruce.

But Justinian was thinking about another thing at this moment. He was too careless. Because of defeating the Latins, he came to Fort Wiscary and subconsciously saw the nobles of Molia too much.

However, Anastasius's appearance made him realize an unprecedented threat. As soon as he met, he felt the sense of the fragments of the ark of the covenant on his body, which was the third piece of fragment he encountered. (Unfinished)
