Let me introduce you, this is my girlfriend, the Israeli boxing champion

Since ancient times, both the Eastern Romans and the Green Romans have had a common understanding that the Fourth Crusade in 1204 was the real reason why Constantinople became Constantiniere.

And in that battle, it was the Venetians who played the greatest role.

"Venice has the best sailors, the best craftsmen, and the most powerful navy in Europe. And with the Hundred Years' War between England and France at an impasse, the Holy Roman Empire caught up in the Hussite Wars, and Poland and Hungary experiencing several disastrous defeats, who else do you think you can turn to for help?"

Although it sounds unpleasant, at present, this is the only support that can be sought from the Catholic world. After all, the entire Mamluks are almost fooled by Alvin, and the Middle Eastern cavalry will gather in a few days and advance towards the Anatolian Peninsula.

But even without Alvin, they still understood the principle that if one loses the other, the other's teeth will be in danger.

"Then Vlad the Impaler of Romania—"

"He is now receiving asylum in Hungary. By the way, Attila is now besieging Belgrade, so there is no chance."

"...So this is the only way we can go, right?"

Alvin really didn't want to deal with the Venetians. They were like born businessmen, which made people disgusted, and they were too slow in doing things.

"Since we are completely outnumbered on land, the only way to break the deadlock is to fight at sea. The key to the problem lies in how to convince the Doge of Venice and their Council of Ten to decide to send troops. This must be the reason why the Emperor sent you and Leonardo to Venice."

El-Melloi II patted him on the shoulder. He knew that this was a difficult thing for Alvin, but the facts were there and this was the only way.

"Okay, but I want to ask what month it is now?"

"In February 1453, Giovanni Justiniani from Genoa will arrive in half a month."

It is totally impossible to travel back and forth between the two places by bus No. 11 in three months. Let's see what genius ideas Leonardo da Vinci had.

"If we do succeed, can I go to Hagia Sophia and carry Enrique Dandolo's coffin?"

"You can do anything except set fire to the palace and the library."

......

"Da Vinci, what are you making? Why are there so many pieces of wood? Are you playing with Lego?"

In the courtyard downstairs, Alvin looked at the raw materials on the ground, feeling nothing but confusion.

"I don't have the mood to play with Lego these days. Alvin is here just in time. Help me get the one in that corner and put it here."

Nearly half a month after arriving at the singularity, Alvin saw Leonardo da Vinci wearing glasses again. The eyes behind the glasses were like a clear blue wave, so affectionate, so kind, so moving, and also faintly contained wisdom and confidence.

"Okay, okay, I'll play with you here today. Just remember to pay me for my work."

"It's a beautiful thought."

In fact, it can be seen from the skeleton that Da Vinci intends to assemble a car on the spot, and in connection with the order he received from the Gate of Charisius a few hours ago...

"How long will it take?"

"About three hours. Then we can drive the thing out of town to test the car. After all, Constantine XI gave us the order to do it tomorrow morning, so we can use it to test it out."

“I guess there will be another unsolved mystery in the world.”

"There are actually quite a few unsolved mysteries in my world. One more is not much, and one less is not much."

The afternoon sun shines on the besieged city. Constantinople, a city that has been besieged for nearly 800 days, is making its final self-salvation for the continuation of the empire.

"It will take us three days to drive from Constantinople to Venice, and that's the fastest speed we can imagine without the interference of fantasy species and soldiers on the road."

"It actually takes three days?"

"The roads these days are not so easy to travel on. In order to ensure your own safety and reduce external interference, you have to take the forest paths, which requires a lot of effort in the vehicle's own shock absorption and safety. By the way, it only takes four days to travel from Venice to Constantinople by sea."

"It's a bit fast."

"The Venetians are like this. No matter how much you dislike them, they still have a firm grasp on navigation."

What Alvin said about Lego bricks was not false. In fact, assembling this car is just like playing with Lego bricks. The only difference is that magic power is used instead of gasoline for power, that's all.

"I never thought that the magic crystal I just developed would become a victim like this... It's sad. I would rather be with Ritsuka and the others."

"Actually, Da Vinci, you could have left on your first day in Constantinople, but now it seems that you are enjoying it."

"That's what I said, but I have to be responsible for you..."

PS1: The Doge of Venice and 1453 are actually overused memes. A true Roman will not get angry when hearing them, but will play the memes with you. In fact, in real life, it is already a joy to meet someone who knows that Byzantium is Rome.

PS2: Enrico Dandolo, the Venetian Doge who Paradox players always say is going to be hanged, was finally buried in the Hagia Sophia in Constantinople, and his tombstone is still there.

(But the person has been poached by Osman)

Chapter 026 Black High-end SUV.GIF

As Leonardo slowly drove the makeshift car out of the small door in shock, Alvin noticed El-Melloi II's confused look.

"Jeep(R) Wrangler Rubicon 10th Anniversary Limited Edition..."

That was a look of envy.

“Although I changed it to a two-seater seat because it was just you and me, but when I saw El-Melloi II’s expression, I felt something was wrong. What’s going on?”

"Don't be fooled by the teacher's literary appearance. In fact, he is very wild at heart. I can tell you the story between me and the teacher when I have time on the way."

Before he could finish his words, Alvin felt the gaze behind him become extremely hot and violent. He had no idea about it and even whistled.

"Teacher, it's not too late for you to kick me off the car and go in my place."

"...Let's forget about this..."

If Alvin hadn't seen the grief-stricken look on El-Melloi II's face, he would have thought he had been deceived.

Ah, Lanis, you are such a good person! I finally have something to brag about!

Of course, there were still people like Leonidas I and Boudica who didn't understand. Of course, their ignorance was not about the car itself, but about its design.

“Why did you choose to use an off-road rack?”

"Ahem, this is a long story. In 49 BC, the great Caesar Julius broke the taboo that generals could not lead troops across the Rubicon River, and led the great Roman legions across the Rubicon River to start the final battle with Gnaeus Pompey over the ownership of power..."

"Get to the point!"

Don't even think about it, this must be the voice of El-Melloi II.

"...Jeep(R) Wrangler Rubicon is like the Caesar of the four-wheel drive world. It can conquer all terrains since its birth. It is also the best tribute to the off-road holy land Rubicon Trail!"

"You're just promoting yourself here. Your personality has only gotten worse after not seeing you for a few months. Don't tell me that it was Lanis who taught you that."

"That's about right. After all, Lanis is my true master, teacher."

"How did you learn all of her bad character? And if she knew you called her by her name like that, what would the consequences be..."

"She's not here now anyway."

As they were talking, the two of them subconsciously took out cigarettes from their pockets, took out lighters and lit them for each other. The process was so skillful that it was astonishing.

"After smoking too much of this kind of cigarette, I unexpectedly miss the taste of Xuan He Men."

"what is that?"

"A common tobacco that is loved by the common people."

Although the common cigarettes that can be found everywhere on the streets have been gone from his world for a long time, there was always a period and a night when they accompanied him.

By the way, I remember that when I first came here, I vowed to quit smoking. In the end, not only did I fail to quit, but I became even worse.

"Okay, let's get back to the point. Originally, it was planned that you and Ms. Leonardo would walk back and forth, but after she conjured a car out of nowhere, the trip might be greatly shortened."

The distance from Constantinople to Venice is 1451 kilometers, which is 900 miles in the units of this era. Even if one takes into account the need to avoid attacks by fantasy species and obstruction by human soldiers on the way, one can reach the Apennines on the third day at the latest.

“Is that why you designed it to be off-road?”

"You can't ask for more road conditions in this era, that's about it."

After seeing Da Vinci's expression, he took a few more puffs, stepped on the cigarette butt, waved his hand, and got into the black luxury SUV.

"I'm leaving now and will be back in a few days."

The long-awaited Da Vinci started up, and the SUV sped away and disappeared from their sight.

"... Brat."

Da Vinci still didn't finish her words. Although she said that the maximum speed reached by the pure natural and pollution-free magic power provided by burning magic crystals was 60 kilometers per hour, looking at the scenery outside and then at the dashboard in front of her, it was already approaching 100.

"Don't be so sure, Alvin."

There was a hint of pride in her words and she winked at him playfully. He lost this time, but it wasn't a big loss.

"So I have to see what you changed."

Alvin compared the original plan with the black high-end off-road vehicle he was currently sitting in. It would have been fine if he hadn't looked at it, but once he did, something serious had happened.

"...Your technique is already considered OOPArt."

"Ahem. It's hard to succeed without the technology of this era, so I made some improvements within the technological level of this era."

“Fast forward to the Renaissance?”

"I'd like to state in advance that there really is no engine in here."

Of course, Alvin, who was sitting in the passenger seat, couldn't just sit there and do nothing. He turned on the Chaldea Bracelet 2.0 and entered the 15th century European map to guide Leonardo da Vinci.

Since we have chosen to do this, we will naturally lose the support from Chaldea.

"Where are we now?"

"Inside Edirne, heading towards Macedonia."

"Edirne... I remember that we encountered a small army of the Hun Empire there last time."

"Well, it's about ten kilometers from here. Do you want to go take a look?"

At one point, Leonardo da Vinci had the thought of "going", but she chose to suppress the idea and continued to move towards Venice.

"Let's take a look when we get back."

According to the route planned by Alvin, they would first enter Macedonia and then turn to Skopje, and then follow the Adriatic route of Serbia-Bosnia through Hungary and Austria before entering the Apennine region.

"Actually, I've always had a question for you, Da Vinci."

"What? You're not asking me why I chose to stay in Constantinople?"

Seeing Alvin's sudden stunned look, Da Vinci burst out laughing.

"Your question is so obvious that I can guess it right."

"But to be honest, I also want to ask myself why I did this... I could have gone to the better and more reasonable side, but I chose to stand with you on the night I contacted Romani..."

"Maybe I myself also want to do something impossible like this once."

PS1: "I will 1000% not have my clothes torn off"

After thinking about it, I decided to go and see Coin. Tsuburaya never disappoints.

PS2: The dog-headed man was once infected with the new coronavirus, but now he has recovered and has antibodies. People can't help but sigh that this is the TOP1.

But it’s good that everything is alright. I didn’t expect that the Kobold would be on the news in this way.

Chapter 027: Noah's Ark Pilgrimage to the Holy Land

"Good morning, Your Majesty Nero. I have an important request."

"Well, you can say it anyway. I'm very tolerant, right?"

Tolerance... Ritsuka twisted his mouth.

If you are really tolerant, then why do you use the treasure when singing? Everyone should be locked in the theater to listen to the singing!

That's not a chorus, that's murder!

"Ahem, it's like this. In order to allow us to move around safely in this era, we want to go out for a while."

"Well, you can go directly there."

Lazily Nero lay on the bench, took a bunch of grapes from the coffee table in front of him, and bit off the purple pearl with water droplets in one bite.

"After all, I am not an emperor now."

"No, this time we hope you can give us a written document or something to let us out."

"..."

Nero scratched his head. Yes, because of the wartime, the guards at the door were extremely strict. It seemed that this task could not be accomplished without it.

So how did you get in?
