Chapter 1512 The Past of Ancient 1, Look Back 0 Years

"The Druid order is a matrilineal social system. My mother is the pope of the order, so on the premise of enjoying the best education, I can almost be said to be the inevitable candidate for the next pope."

"And as a candidate for Pope, I must give my faith to nature. Learn the ancient druid magic, the power to balance nature. And master the necessary knowledge of medicine, astronomy and divination, these are my Things to do. But even though I had a lot to learn, my mother still felt it wasn't enough."

"The Druid's inheritance power is very old, but it is not strong enough. This was already reflected when the Romans entered the mysterious forest and slaughtered us Druids. So when my mother saw Come on, there is no future for druid magic that will gradually be eliminated. To protect itself and preserve the inheritance of the entire sect, the druid sect must break the shackles of the past and introduce new blood. In this regard, learning more advanced and powerful magic power is the best choice."

"Very far-sighted idea." Hearing this, Zhou Yi couldn't help but praise. Kenneth I, that was the ninth century AD. It is indeed remarkable that a woman in the ninth century AD could have such insight.

As for his praise, Gu Yi first thanked him with a smile, and then said with a sigh.

"From the current point of view, my mother is indeed very far-sighted. But in that era, things didn't say that. The Druids are a very traditional sect, and the tradition is for the Druids. That’s everything. Therefore, when something deviant happens, even if my mother is the pope of the sect and my father is the lord in the name of the king, they can’t stop the anger of those ignorant people.”

"My mother was set on a bonfire made of oak trees, and my father was assassinated by fanatics. I thought I would follow in their footsteps, but thankfully, Kenneth I was a kind king. He After knowing about my father, he protected me and let me inherit my father's property. And that's it, I lived to adulthood safely."

To be honest, when the story came to this point, Zhou Yi was really surprised. He originally thought that this would be a story about a girl who met a magician, and then unfolded like a third-rate knight. It's just that I didn't expect that the opening would be like this.

So the question is, how to develop next? Princess Revenge?

Zhou Yi still couldn't help thinking wildly in his heart, but at this time, Gu Yi continued to tell his own story.

"When I became an adult, I decided to travel to the European continent to study. You know, the British Isle is not a good place for me to live. Those fanatical druids are actually no different from Christian lunatics. This weak woman can resist it. So I sold my father's inheritance,

After leaving his piece of territory that had not produced much for a long time, I came to Europa, the most prosperous French kingdom at that time. "

"With the herbalism I learned from the Druids, I can still make a living in France with certain healing abilities. However, I need to be careful in normal times, because I may be arrested by those fanatical Christians , put on the stake as a witch. To be honest, that era was really not very friendly to us women."

"However, there are always good things about it. For example, magic. Because of the low social status, as long as you are willing to pay the price, many mages will be willing to teach you. And it just so happens that, as a druid sect As a spellcaster, I, who can make many kinds of potions, are just the one who can afford it."

"I wandered on the continent of Europa for seven years, learned a lot of new things, and also had the title of witch. Years of wandering made me regard learning as the only pleasure, and just when I thought this fun was over At that time, a special entrustment came to my door. It opened the door to a new world for me."

"This commission comes from the king of East Francia, the future Holy Roman Emperor Otto III. He hoped that I could refine a potion for him to prolong his life. It's a bit funny to say, I thought these things were bathed in the glory of God The kings below would choose something even more unreliable like the Holy Grail, I never thought that they would be so sensible, and they would ask me, a witch, for their lives."

"It's just a consistent habit of the ruler. There's nothing to be surprised about? If anything, I'm even more surprised by this. You said he asked for you?"

Knowing the history of Europe, Zhou Yi didn't think that the so-called East Franks would be so polite when doing such things. as expected.

"Of course it's a pleading attitude. More than 30 knights and nearly a hundred archers were sent to surround the place where I live. He even said that in order to make me compromise, he even asked people to arrest people from that village. They all grabbed them and threatened me with knives around their necks. This is the biggest scene I have ever seen in my 20-odd years of life, and it shouldn’t be an exaggeration to describe it as a request.”

"As long as you like it."

Unable to tell that Gu Yi was still a joker, Zhou Yi could only shrug his shoulders and signal her to continue.

"At that time, I didn't have the ability to fight against the royal power. I couldn't beat those knights, nor could I watch so many innocent peasants die in front of me. So I can only compromise. However, although it is Compromise, but I can only tell Otto III the truth. That is, I will not make such a potion. In fact, I am even more curious about where he heard that there is such a potion that can prolong human life. The medicine exists."

"Otto III didn't hide from me about this matter. After all, as the only witch in Europe who is proficient in potions, I should be his only hope. He can't count on anyone else except me, so He could only tell me that he had heard of such things from merchants from the East."

"As the son of Smith Zhou, I think you know something about Europe before the first thousand years of AD. When the Roman Empire was alive, it was brilliant and like a pearl. But when the Roman Empire fell , it is like falling into a latrine, becoming stupid and smelly. Those who have nothing but the glory of God in their eyes will notice the civilization from the East. This is simply God's mercy and opening their heads."

"Oh, you can't say that. After all, it is the result of the most primitive desire of human beings. In order to live longer, even a pig knows how to work hard, doesn't it?"

It can be seen that Gu Yi has resentment in his heart, otherwise it would be impossible to say such ugly words at this time. However, Zhou Yi didn't come here specially to listen to her complaints. So, after drinking the tea in the cup in one gulp, he reminded Gu Yi.

"Master Ancient One, I need to remind you. Your story seems to be a bit off the main line. What I want to know is about Smith Zhou. It's not your past history, so can you speed up the progress a little?"

"Men are too impatient, but it will annoy women. As a senior sister, I think I should remind you of this. Besides." Shaking his head, Gu Yi immediately grinned. "Also, I don't think it's an insignificant thing. It's like in a role-playing game, a lot of side plots are needed to promote the main plot. Don't you think it's like me saying everything about the background of the story? Understood, will it be very substituting?"

"Not really." After a moment of silence, Zhou Yi still felt that he was telling the truth. And such an evaluation naturally ushered in the Mai Tai of Master Gu Yi.

"He really doesn't have a sense of humor. But forget it, the background of the story is almost here, and it's almost time to get to the point."

"Otto III's desire to prolong his life is urgent. In order to achieve this goal, he even arranged an operation full of flaws. He asked his five most trusted knights to lead me to the east. I hope that through the With my knowledge, I can find the mystery of the longevity medicine in the east."

"Unfortunately, the mere five knights could not possibly be the opponents of the Mamluks under the Bwehi dynasty. As soon as they left Jerusalem, they had already died in the hands of those Mamluk knights one after another. In my hand. And I, because of magic protection, was lucky to escape. And with the gold gifted by Otto III, I came all the way to the destination at that time, the Palace of Wisdom in Baghdad."

"As the most complete academic institution in the world at that time, I mean without considering the Taixue of Eastern China. The Palace of Wisdom is definitely a paradise for every scholar who is interested in learning. It contains Persian, Indian, Greek manuscripts, involving astronomy, mathematics, natural science, medicine and other disciplines. It is even said that you can find traces of solitary copies handed down from the library of Alexandria here, and even some records of magic and divine arts in ancient Egypt The papyrus. I wanted to study there a long time ago, but I didn’t expect that I could realize this wish because of Otto III. So from some perspectives, I am still very grateful to him.”

"Although the Buwehi dynasty is a usurper, they still respect scholars enough. So even if I am a woman, I still enjoy high treatment in the Palace of Wisdom, and it is there that I have seen more people who belong to The knowledge and secrets of this world itself. For a person who seeks knowledge as a hobby, you should understand how much enjoyment it is. Of course, while enjoying this kind of happiness, I have not forgotten my own job. After all, I am not worthy of the gold bestowed by Otto III."

"Under such circumstances, I began to inquire about the secrets of the elixir of longevity. And it was through such inquiries and contacts that I met your father, the most mysterious mage in the Middle East.")
