Chapter 456 Byzantine Thieves

The next voyage was very smooth. In less than five days, it crossed the Dardanelles Strait to Constantinople. The ship is looking for sellers of goods at the port, negotiating and unloading. Zhang Fan and the ship owner agreed on a return date, so they went to be busy.

Aken and Jin Ling naturally went straight to the Hagia Sophia, and the two treasure thieves went to survey the terrain. Zhang Fan took two women to visit the greatest city in the West in the Middle Ages, which, along with the Millennium Empire of Byzantium, ruled Eastern Europe for nearly ten centuries! Although it has begun to decline, its accumulation of nearly a thousand years has made this ancient Greek city glorious! Its luxury and prosperity are not inferior to several major cities such as Chang'an and Yangzhou during the heyday of the Chinese Tang Dynasty.

Zhang Fan actually saw an ancient hospital in this church! And here, Zhang Fan actually got the support of scene language communication and learned some Byzantine medicine and herbalism developed in the ancient Greek medical system! Zhang Fan has benefited a lot. Moreover, I also bought a series of ancient Byzantine medical books in the store. Because the ancient papermaking technology is not yet mature, the price of paper is very high! Therefore, the price of this set of books is very expensive, but it is very beneficial to Zhang Fan's medical skills.

The Byzantine medical system believes that blood, mucus, yellow bile and black bile are the basis of human physical pathology classification, and all diseases are caused by the four disorders of dry, wet, cold and hot. This is very different from ancient Chinese medicine, but after careful analysis, it is actually similar! It seems that the exchange of various ethnic cultures is very beneficial to the development of world civilization.

Green Wings and Dark Sakura bought the special clothes here, Mediterranean light style, robes, shawls, waist cloth, leather boots, even in modern times. And the clothing fabric is cotton and linen, which is very comfortable to wear. Even Yoda has customized a set. This Goblin is very familiar with the Western world, and some Byzantines can actually recognize this race. Although it's a little surprising, it's not repulsive. Isn't this the legendary dwarf (dwarf) elves?

On the fifth night of Constantinople, three sneaky figures followed the dark path dug up in the past few days and got into the palace of Constantinople! This place is more defensive than the 'St. Sophia Cathedral'. Of course, it is not the Byzantine Gothic guards who do not do their duty, but the boundary in the church, which makes the mice really drill seamlessly. Aken and Jinling discussed and stole the palace first, and then let the treasure hunters enter the church to steal the treasure through the cover of the spearhead sacred objects! Even if you miss in the church, you won't come back empty-handed.

Long night, dark moon and high wind...

"What are you? How dare you rob my wealth!" A gray-blue shadow appeared on the treasure pile. He must have been very noble, dressed in gorgeous clothes and majestic!

Aken looked at the ghost appearing in the underground treasury of the palace with tears and laughter. It seemed that it must be a generation of Byzantine kings, guarding the treasure he had accumulated here. How could the red-skinned mouse take care of him? He drilled into the treasure pile and began to carry the property professionally. However, their work was quickly interrupted by the angry ghost. A group of ghost guards rushed over, raised their broken swords, slashed at the red-skinned iron-toothed rats, and only drove these red-skinned rats away!

"Summon the little brother with me?" Aken sighed and sacrificed the 'Yellow Spring Ghost Record'. The huge page was opened, and a group of skeleton warriors in scales rushed to the Byzantine ghost guards! These souls of war have been upgraded. The scales they wear look so familiar, as if they are a little like the scales of sea snakes...

"There are more than souls, I'm never afraid of you! ..." Aken looked at the ghosts and souls fighting together and sneered. However, it seems that those ghost guards are stronger than Aken's soul of war, which may be the weakening of the soul of war caused by the difficulty of the scene.

Jin Ling, the king of rats beside him, said snewardly, "With all due respect, brother, you don't have to let them fight in groups, just use this enhanced version of the 'hundred ghost book' to collect those ghost guards..."

"Yes?!" Akan was enlightened and suddenly realized how hard it was. With such a powerful ghost nemesis, he still competed with this old ghost who has been dead for many years. Aken's mind turned, his hands were imprinted, and his mouth muttered a spell. The 'Huangquan Ghost Record' emitted a white light and shrouded the spot, sweeping away the ghosts in this huge treasure house...

... In the darkness in the early morning, the gate of the palace suddenly opened, rushed out a large group of Byzantine Gothic guards and searched the whole city!

And in the dark path of Hagia Sophia, three amazing thieves are running out of the city with a big pocket on their backs! Behind them, a group of red mice either held gold cups, biting gems, or dragging the Pope's exquisite slippers, rolling and crawling away. The last group of iron-toothed rats are responsible for burying the secret road...

"Quick! You greedy guy, tell you not to go to the Pope's dormitory, you have to go!" Aken scolded, and he hurriedly put on a bright suit full of jewelry.

"Don't you also sneak into the beautiful princess's boudoir and steal her underwear..." Jin Ling defended that he actually used a beautiful shawl as a headscarf and covered his face. Can it be so that others can't recognize it?!

"Shut up..." In the face of these two shameless thieves, Yoda also ran away. Its space bag was actually filled with countless treasures, which stretched into a large pocket, making it very difficult to carry.

On the top of the mountain outside the city, Akan and Jinling hurriedly divided the stolen goods. Jinling was very generous, and the two thieves ran away. Aken did not dare to meet Zhang Fan, but just greeted him, so he took Yoda to swim across the narrow Bosphorus Strait and went directly to Syria by land from Asia Minor through the Turkic Seljuk Empire. The Byzantines absolutely dare not pursue this road.

The best royal astrologer in Constantinople prayed for divination with the Orthodox archbishop, but found that the divination results and astrology were extremely confusing, only vaguely pointing to Jerusalem and Muslims.

"The friends of Wanyue come from the sacred land, kill the enemies of the sea, invite the darlings of the earth, steal the luck of the saints, and erase the hope of the cross. They come from the far east and will surely disappear in the long river of history!" In our opinion, the rhetoric is not obscure. Generally speaking, divination is very successful, but the origin of the precept holder is too special to make the divination unpredictable.

The Byzantine Grand Duke, who presided over the divination ceremony, listened to the analysis of the astrologer and said to the archbishop: "It seems that things are very clear. Saladin is a common enemy. Maybe we should listen to the messenger's opinion..."

The Archbishop of the Orthodox Church hesitated, "It's just that the visitors don't mean that side. If we participate in it, will we make them have scruples and break the tacit understanding of the balance over the years..."

"I'm afraid we can't care so much now. We already have a reason for war..." The Byzantine Grand Duke threw down the result of the divination, and the archbishop trembled and picked it up and sighed...

............

"This guy..." Zhang Fan heard that Aken had fled and couldn't laugh or cry. In the morning, a number of defenders from Constantinople came to the port to search several times. The streets have also been completely under martial law. All ships are not allowed to leave the port at will! Zhang Fan and Green Wing Dark Sakura, who were wandering in the city, were also investigated by soldiers of several guard troops. Green Wing and Dark Sakura almost fought with them. If Zhang Fan hadn't stopped them, the three would have been detained!

And when these soldiers began to cross-examine the origin of Zhang Fan, the situation was even worse. They heard that they came on a Muslim ship, and these soldiers were facing the enemy. Fortunately, after asking Zhang Fan's name, some of the soldiers had heard of Zhang Fan's reputation. The ring reminds Zhang Fan of his reputation, and it is also China's victorious reputation against the Arabs. These search soldiers kindly let them go, and the three of them finally escaped. I didn't expect that this unknown reputation would work here!
