Chapter 33: Knight, Queen and Pope s: Sorry, my home was disconnected again last night, so I couldn’t post the manuscript.
Today’s chapter only lasts two days, so I apologize for your understanding.
I have to admit that Pope Clement VI is really a good-tempered man, even though he saw his luxurious palace being looted, most of the art collections collected over the years were missing, and other churches and monasteries in the city were also gone.
After being brutally looted, there was an apostate and deviant Lucky Cat statue in the square in front of the Papal Palace.
The Pope still looked calm and showed no signs of anger.
On the contrary, as soon as Pope Clement VI entered the city, he did not hesitate to acknowledge Livy's lofty status as a "saint" and a "paladin", and as a landlord, he sincerely thanked the angels for their salvation.
The city's great benefactor also donated his personal wealth worth nearly 10,000 ducats as "repayment."
Then, he completely ignored the chest-thumping and strenuous opposition of die-hards in the Holy See, and readily accepted Doraemon's "doctrinal innovation clauses" and promised to convene a religious conference as soon as possible to introduce new doctrines such as "the sanctity of cats" Make sure.
Finally, he also led all the members of the Holy See who could be summoned to take the lead in worshiping the newly appeared Lucky Cat Colossus in front of the Papal Palace.
Seeing that even the Pope was kneeling down and praying to the "Holy Cat" statue with a devout look on his face, I didn't think this was suspected of heresy at all.
The citizens of Avignon no longer had any doubts in their minds.
They fully recognized the status of the angels and began to listen wholeheartedly to their novel sermons.
Well, if this situation continues to develop, with Doraemon's enthusiasm and the cooperation of the Holy See, the Catholic Church in this world may soon have another monk who is similar to the Franciscans, Jesuits, Benedictines and other old-fashioned monks.
The eponymous Cat Worshiping Monastery, also known as the Cat Worshiping Society or the Cat Slave Society, laughs.
Seeing that the Pope was so righteous, Wang Qiu, Levi, Doraemon and others who were originally a little worried couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
If the Pope is also the kind of person who insists on denounced "angels" after seeing them with his own eyes.
With the devil's granite head, they were going to be in big trouble, and even had to use magical props to brainwash the poor pope.
No one knew what kind of sequelae this would cause.
Next, after a harmonious secret meeting with Levi, Doraemon and others, Pope Clement VI publicly announced an unexpected decision: In view of the fact that the holy city of Avignon has been saved, but more Countries and cities are still under the shadow of the great plague In the haze, as the supreme leader of Christianity, he will lead the Papal Guards to follow the "angels" to escort the Queen of Naples back to her country for restoration.
He will also tour various parts of Italy, including the Eternal City of Rome, to save those who are suffering.
Italians To put it simply, Pope Clement VI plans to personally go into battle to serve these "angels" and at the same time serve as their guarantor in front of Christians all over Europe.
Although this series of extremely humble and submissive gestures can be explained In the face of an absolutely unstoppable force, he had to keep a low profile, but no matter what, this French-born pope should be regarded as a guy who is very aware of current affairs.
As the day draws to an end and night falls, the city of Avignon is lit up with tiny lights.
Although due to the sharp decrease in population, more than two-thirds of the houses in the city are dark and completely deserted.
But in the remaining popular buildings, there was finally the sound of laughter and laughter, which is very rare these days, and occasionally there were a few "meow" cat calls that were rare in European cities of this era.
Those were the citizens of Avignon.
After donating gold coins or jewelry to the angels, the modern-world domestic cats that Wang Qiu and Professor Guo brought home and cared for carefully were all stray cats that Wang Qiu and Professor Guo obtained from the stray animal rescue center.
They were the least valuable and easiest to feed mixed-haired cats.
After getting rid of the previous wrong prejudice against cats, the cuteness of these clever little animals quickly aroused the love of the citizens of Avignon, especially women and children, and brought a lot of joy to their boring lives.
A touch of novel fun, which somewhat diluted the sadness and despair of those dark days.
It must be pointed out that the reason why so many humans with different cultures and skin colors around the world have a widespread and universal love for cats is based on scientific basis.
Simply put, it is the instinct of all human beings to treat babies well, and this This instinct has been cleverly exploited by cats.
Humans and mammals in infancy have relatively similar appearance characteristics: a larger head-to-body ratio.
The head-to-body ratio is about 1:3 for infants and 1:7 for adults, round and big eyes, and stubby limbs. , and soft skin or hair.
In short, it means "short, round, soft and warm".
One hundred million years of evolution have endowed young mammals with these cute features, mainly so that they can be caressed by their mothers and be nurtured by other female animals when they lose their mothers, thus gaining a greater chance of survival.
As age increases, these characteristics become less and less obvious.
However, in cats, even adult cats still have the characteristics of "short, round, soft and warm".
Disobedient little things like cats rely on their deceptively cute appearance to get caressed, patted and fed by many ignorant people on earth.
Therefore, in the long history of humans and cats living together, loving cats is the truth, while Tmall is heresy and reactionary.
All in all, humans domesticated and raised other wild beasts because they had milk, meat, hair, or labor to use them.
However, cats, who have not contributed a morsel of food or energy to human life and work, have also used all kinds of cuteness as bait, under the banner of eradicating rats, successfully infiltrated into human society, and also created countless cat-loving cats.
Hey cat slaves, who domesticated whom?
Of course, the cute little things that time travelers brought to this era are not just cats that make a living by being cute.
In the aristocratic neighborhood not far from the Papal Palace, in the temporary residence of the Queen of Naples and the Countess of Provence, Queen Joanna, who had just had dinner, was boredly watching the maid tease the cat with dogtail grass, while studying a woman by candlelight.

Powder box from modern society.
In Queen Joanna's eyes, this box was neither made of wood, nor cast of metal, nor polished with stone, nor spliced with shells, but seemed to be made of a material she had never heard of, but no matter what , the appearance of the box is indeed surprisingly smooth and delicate, feels good to the touch, and has a faint fluorescence.
The entire pale pink oval box is very delicately made.
The upper and lower sides of the box are also carved with exquisite roses and inlaid with many colored broken glass, making people unable to put it down.
After gently opening the small oval box, a fragrant smell immediately hit the nostrils, as if it was the smell of some kind of flower, which was very pleasing to women.
Inside this oval-shaped powder box, there is a small mirror that is also oval-shaped.
It is incredibly bright and clear.
There is a groove underneath, and a powder brush is placed inside.
There is also an oval-shaped powder cake.
With Queen Joanna's vision and experience, not to mention the mirror that can make women crazy, even this powder is a rare and high-quality product.
No matter where the lady is, she will definitely regard it as such. treasure.
After playing with it with great interest for a moment, Queen Joanna put down the oval powder box with some reluctance and picked up another bottle of perfume that also came from the modern world.
This was a light pink glass bottle, shaped like a bud.
Delicate flower buds, the bottle wall is smooth and transparent, and not a single pore can be seen.
Holding it in your hand, you can clearly see the brightly colored perfume shaking in the bottle.
Just looking at the appearance, it is a perfect handicraft.
If you hold it in the palm of your hand and gently pull out the stamen-shaped glass cork, an extremely fragrant and sweet floral fragrance will spread from your palm and linger for a long time.
Just one smell can make Queen Joanna feel relaxed and happy.
Feel refreshed.
The above two things were gifts given by Knight Levi when he visited.
In addition, there were some colorful silk handkerchiefs and scarves.
Due to the nature of women who love beauty, Queen Joanna naturally couldn't put it down, and she was very grateful to Li who gave her these things.
Knight Wei, had some crimson fantasies.
This was not a shameful thing in the aristocratic circles of medieval Europe where extramarital affairs were prevalent.
"I never thought that in the wild and foreign land north of the Alps, I could encounter such an adventure.
God really has blessed me.
Could these good things be gifts from angels?
Well, I have decided.
I must charm that knight and take his hand.
Dig out all the good stuff left in it.”
Touching these modern cosmetics and gorgeous silks at hand, Queen Joanna began to think about it like a girl in spring: Should she boldly take the initiative tonight and send her maid to invite the knight Livy for a hot tryst?
Or should she proceed step by step on her way to Naples?
Slowly develop feelings during the journey.
Well, it seems that it is better to be a little more reserved and take your time.
After all, he is a paladin blessed by angels.
Wait, there seems to be something wrong.
The Italians in this wild and exotic land actually view the Western European powers north of the Alps in this way.
Well, how should I put it?
During the Renaissance, Italians indeed regarded themselves as civilized people.
They looked at the people north of the Alps with the same eyes as barbarians, or at least the way rich people in the city looked at country bumpkins.
They looked down at the people north of the Alps with unusual arrogance.
European countries.
To be honest, at least in this century, they do have the qualifications and strength to look at people with their nostrils.
Because the Italians these days are in their most prosperous and arrogant golden years after the collapse of the Roman Empire.
Although in the modern history of the West that the Chinese are familiar with, the Italians who once created the ancient Roman Empire seem to have been in trouble since the collapse of Rome.

They were abused by various powers.
Even the black uncles in Africa could not defeat them. .
Especially during the two world wars, the performance of spaghetti on the street was almost a joke.
That's why there are all kinds of exaggerated and hilarious jokes in Hetalia comics.
But if we go back to the Renaissance, these lovely Italians actually had a glorious era when they were powerful and high-spirited at home.
If we say that after the Age of Discovery began, the main theme of the world was that of Europeans exploring, conquering, and dominating the earth.
So in the Renaissance era before the Age of Discovery, the main theme of the entire Western Christian world was that Italians were leading Europe.
During the Renaissance era in Europe, the once great and powerful Eastern Roman Empire had long since collapsed and disappeared, leaving only a small, declining country with Constantinople as its core still lingering.
The Holy Roman Empire established by the Germans has also come to ruin amid endless divisions and separatism.
But the Italians, who inherited the legacy of ancient Roman civilization, gradually picked up the lost treasures of civilization again starting from the late Middle Ages, sounded the horn of the Renaissance in the dark fog of the Middle Ages, and illuminated the road to modern civilization. .
Italy during the Renaissance was very much like ancient Greece with its many city-states in the Golden Age, and a bit like a mini version of modern Europe.
In such a small land, it had accumulated huge wealth, a powerful army, and advanced Science, technology and enlightenment ideas, as well as outstanding artists such as Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo who have left their names in history.
Almost all the banks, academies of sciences, standing armies, school education, diplomatic embassy system, joint-stock company system, overseas trade and colonial models that modern Europeans are proud of originated from the Italian peninsula.
Although the Italian city-states at that time had a small territory and a small population, their fiscal revenue was incredibly far superior to that of the huge countries such as Britain and France, and they turned the entire Mediterranean world into their own spheres of influence and colonies.
It was simply Like an early version of European colonization of the world in the future.
Militarily, Milan's elite army has long been renowned in Europe for its bravery and proficiency in warfare, and Venice's invincible armada suppressed the entire Mediterranean.
In short, the "spaghetti" at that time was really not "spaghetti" at all.
When other European countries see these prosperous and powerful Italian city-states, they are just like the modern countries in Asia, Africa and Latin America who are afraid, jealous, and a little envious of the "higher civilized people in Europe".
To be more specific, Venice and Genoa, which had been fighting for sea power for hundreds of years, were like Britain and Spain in the future.
Milan, which lacks a seaport and has a strong army, is very similar to Germany in the future.
Since the entire Mediterranean has been almost completely divided, in order to seize their own colonies and maritime sphere of influence, the Milanese have been trying to annex Genoa, and for a time they succeeded.
As for Naples and Sicily in southern Italy, it is somewhat similar to Spain and the Austro-Hungarian Empire in the future.
Although they have declined, they are still members of the inner circle of civilization.
As for the Holy Roman Empire and the Kingdom of France across the Alps, in the eyes of Italian city-states during the Renaissance, they were a bit like the barbaric, backward and huge Soviet Union in the eyes of Europeans in the future.
Although he was in awe of their troops, he could not help but despise their vulgarity.
In short, according to the views of European politicians at the time, if these Italian city-states in the Renaissance could be effectively united, just like the Roman Republic in BC gradually integrated many Italian city-state tribes, then a new Western Empire would be born again However, like ancient Greece in the past, Italy in the Renaissance failed to take the crucial step from city-state to empire.
Although many splendid Italian city-states often work together to fight against foreign invasions, they are also seeking their own hegemony and want to restore the glory of the great Rome.
As a result, these descendants of the Romans spent their blood on the killings of brothers generation after generation.
Countless great heroes went to the battlefield with dreams and then dashed their dreams on the battlefield in Milan, Florence, Naples, Venice, etc.
Genoa In the civil and foreign wars that lasted for thousands of years in Italy, one city after another rose and fell, but no one could become the real winner.
Just like Europe's global colonial hegemony, due to the delay in the unification of the entire Europe, it was eventually drained of blood due to two world wars, resulting in the entire colonial system being unsustainable and rapidly collapsing.
Frequent melees between Italian city-states ultimately failed to create a unified Italian Kingdom.
Instead, they were successively invaded by France, Spain, Austria and even Turkey, resulting in the entire Italy being economically bankrupt, politically weak, and militarily a laughing stock.
The dismal ending is not like the modern European Union.
Countless trading colonies that once spread across the Black Sea and the Mediterranean either rebelled and became independent, or were taken away by Spain and Turkey, prompting the hazy idea of "unifying Italy."
For example, the famous political theorist Machiavelli said that his greatest wish was to assist a wise master in unifying Italy.
Only a unified Italy could compete with the European powers.
And an "International League" that included most of Italy was indeed established for a time.
First, Lorenzo the "Posh" Medici, the leader of the Republic of Florence, took the lead to form the prototype of the Northern Italian League.
He also made it clear that peace in Northern Italy must be based on the balance of power among the states, unlike the core concept of the European Union.
After Lorenzo's death, this balance of power structure collapsed and led to a massive invasion by the French king Charles VIII.
But the Venetians restored the alliance and succeeded in destroying the invading French army.
The future European Community and the European Union were also born during the Cold War in order to form enough size to compete with the United States and the Soviet Union.
Unfortunately, it was precisely because of the advancement, wealth and splendor of the Italian city-states that European countries that had not yet escaped from the savagery of the Middle Ages were generally worried about the birth of a new powerful country, let alone the resurrection of another Roman Empire.
Trying to obstruct the unification of Italy , coupled with the Pope's troublemaker and the Italians' own dissatisfaction, many peaceful alliances and military annexations in history all ended in failure.

The Northern Italian Alliance that appeared at the end of the 15th century only lasted a short time. time, it was disintegrated under internal and external difficulties.
In the following history, with the advent of the Age of Discovery and the prosperity of Western European countries, the Italian city-states, as the forerunners of the era, could no longer maintain their advanced nature and were gradually abandoned by the times.
The successive invasions of Italy by France, Austria and Spain completely destroyed the little vitality the Italians had accumulated from the Renaissance.
In modern times, the Italian peninsula, which was completely scattered and declining, was completely reduced to a hunting ground and colony for Napoleon and the Austrians.
When Italy's modern national hero Garibaldi finally shouted the slogan of "unifying Italy" and made Italy no longer just a "geographical term" in the mid-19th century, it was already too late.
Based on the historical fate of Italian city-states, it seems that some future prospects of the European Union can be glimpsed.
After the end of the Renaissance era, the exhausted Italians degenerated into noodles.
And after the end of the global colonial era, what will the exhausted old Europe look like?
However, although the fate of these Italian city-states in the future will probably be very bleak, at least for this century, they still undoubtedly occupy the center of the European historical stage.
Even if more than half of the population was wiped out in an instant by the Black Death, it could not erase the splendor and peerless elegance of these medieval Italian historical cities.
Of course, there is also the huge wealth of these Italian cities that ranks first in Europe.
Therefore, when the crazy-poor Doraemon arrived, these Italian city-states became the main search targets that made time travelers salivate.
At the same time, in the study room of the Papal Palace that had just been looted, Pope Clement VI was sitting on a white plastic chair that is very common in modern urban food stalls.
With the help of a clay oil lamp that was luckily not confiscated, Leafing through a beautifully framed volume that clearly comes from another era.
Because this luxurious and elegant Papal Palace had been robbed by the "angels" when the owner left.
So after the Pope came back, the slightly embarrassed travelers gave him several sets of cheap plastic and stainless steel furniture to prevent the Pope from suffering from sitting on the stairs and sleeping on the floor in his own mansion.
There was nothing he could do.
The furniture used by the Pope is too high-end.
It would be a shame not to pawn it for money.
Fortunately, Pope Clement VI didn't seem to care much about this.
After receiving the "Holy Seal" and being vaccinated against the plague, and secretly reaching a cooperation agreement with the "Angels" and "Paladin Levi", he carefully read through the books presented by the travelers, in addition to the colorful illustrated brochures. , as well as the new Ten Commandments created by Doraemon in order to change history and earn points.
The general content is as follows:
1.
Cats are sacred animals that cannot be slandered or slandered.
Humans should love cats as much as they love their owners, and at the same time repent of the sins of torturing and killing cats in the past; 2.
Rats are evil animals.
Priests should lead believers to use various methods to eliminate rats.
This is also a practice that can please the Lord; 3.
Regular bathing is beneficial to clean your body and mind, and keep diseases and disasters away from you.
Dirtyness and simplicity are two completely different things.
Refusing to bathe is by no means a reflection of simplicity and poverty.
Even the poorest ascetic should strive to keep his body clean and clean; 4.
Wash your hands frequently before meals and after using the toilet to prevent diseases from entering through the mouth; 5.
In addition to bathing frequently, you should also change clothes frequently.
God never likes to see His lambs covered in dirt, greasy and smelly; 6.
Everyone is responsible for maintaining urban hygiene.
Priests are obliged to regularly organize believers to clean streets and squares instead of asking them to whip themselves; 7.
Open defecation is prohibited.
At least enough public toilets should be installed in monasteries and churches and should be open to the public as much as possible; 8.
The harmful and foolish act of smearing feces on wounds must be strictly prohibited.
It will only cause the wounds of the wounded to fester and suppurate, making them die faster; 9.
The cruel and stupid "witch hunting movement" must be abolished, and the authority of the Inquisition must not be abused; 10.
In view of the drastic population reduction caused by the Great Plague, and with reference to the population recovery strategies in the special period after the Great Flood in the Bible, it is recommended that priests and nuns in the future do not have to remain single, but are allowed to get married and have children, but they must remain monogamous.
One wife cannot divorce or bigamy.
The above-mentioned reform articles mainly include ten items, so they are called the New Ten Commandments, also known as the Ten Commandments of the Cat Worship Club, or simply the Cat Commandments.

Generally speaking, the Catholic Church in the Middle Ages was known for its conservative thinking and stubbornness.
Although there are some progressive figures with open-minded ideas in the church, as a whole, this old organization still instinctively hates any innovation and change.
Therefore, if it were an ascetic monk full of stubborn ideas, he might denounce these things as complete heretics as soon as he saw them, and he would try his best to stop them.
Even if God stood in front of him and gave an order, he would dare to pretend that he had not heard it.
When Jesus first entered the temple in Jerusalem, he refused to listen to the priests' dissuasion and smashed the stalls of many merchants in the temple.
As long as he thought those things should not be in the temple, he would immediately do so.
However, Pope Clement VI was not the kind of ascetic who enjoyed self-abuse.
Although he lived a luxurious life and spent huge sums of money to overhaul the papal palace, he was also open-minded and rewarded academics and art.
More importantly, he was a He is a very pragmatic person, so after the initial shock, he calmly accepted the cat commandments conveyed by the angels, publicly took the lead in wearing cat badges, and even held a white cat for evening prayers.
So, in the dead of night, a crooked confidant bishop quietly sneaked in and asked the Pope why he had abandoned the ancient orthodoxy and followed heretical ideas.
Pope Clement VI calmly replied: "Heretic, who do you think is a heretic?
You accuse angels of being a heretic?
Do you think you are God?
Why don't you admit that they are angels?
If you don't admit it in your heart, what's the use?
In the eyes of the world, they are genuine angels, and the magic power and power they possess What they do is indeed like an angel.
If the Holy See desperately opposes them, then our Holy See will become a blasphemous heresy.
You must know that for believers and God, the Holy See is not irreplaceable.
There are many ambitious people in Rome who want to establish a separate Holy See."
"What's more, these angels have done something so extreme that we need to fight desperately.
They took away some property from the Holy See.
Since the arrival of the great plague, everyone has already passed today.
I don't know if there will be a tomorrow.
Those money are just Things outside the body, used in exchange for oneself Your own life is worth it no matter what.
Not to mention that the owners of many things have long since died, and the dead people don’t need to pay for it.
You are still yelling at me who has been evacuated from the palace.
Why are you so brave?
Aren't you afraid that the angel will be angry and make you get sick again and die?
Then, whether a cat is holy or evil, is this small matter related to the foundation of the church?
The Bible does not mention cats at all, and there is no religious ceremony directly related to cats.
Allowing cats to be raised will not harm the glory of the church, and organizing the killing of cats will do no good to the church.
These angels are not forcing you to raise cats.
Do you suffer from a strange madness that makes you go crazy if you don't kill cats, or do you secretly believe in some kind of worship?
If that's the case with the rat's weird cult, I think you should be tied to the stake and roasted.
The new Ten Commandments are indeed a bit shocking, but if you take a closer look, they mainly advocate bathing and paying attention to cleanliness, and let those who redeem themselves change their asceticism from self-flagellation to sweeping the streets.
It has nothing to do with the authority of the church.
It seems that the church has never been The bar was established by advising people to defecate anywhere.
I have heard a lot about the ridiculous things done by the Inquisition in various places over the years.
It is indeed time to take care of it.
As for allowing clergy to marry, it does have a serious impact on the church, but today's bishops and priests, there are still a few who do not support women and simply give birth to illegitimate children, taking this opportunity to make it public and legal, maybe it is also a good thing” "Finally, and most importantly, why are you so short-sighted and stupid?
You only see the messenger of the Lord as a threat, but you forget that it is beneficial to the Holy See.
Such an unprecedented miracle and the glory of the angel's coming, isn't it?
It just proves the duty and piety of the Holy See.
You think I am Why should we follow them to Italy?
The Queen of Naples needs to use their power to recover the lost territory and restore the royal power.

Don't we need to use the glory of God to recover Rome and re-strengthen the control of the Papal States?"
The Pope hated his incorrigible confidants. scolded.
Many modern people know that the Catholic Church in medieval Europe was extremely powerful and so pervasive that even kings and nobles bowed to it.
This is basically correct.
But the problem is that many modern people mistakenly equate the power of the medieval church with the power of the Holy See, and equate the power of the Holy See with the power of the Pope, and regard the Papal States as the direct jurisdiction of the Pope himself.
However, this is not the case.
The actual status of the pope in medieval Europe was probably a bit similar to that of the Japanese emperor.
Although his position was high, the power in his hands was not necessarily great.
How many bishops and archbishops he could command depended on each generation of popes.
Good or bad luck, good or bad skills.
Generally speaking, many mediocre popes may not even be able to fully control the city of Rome; those who are more competent can probably barely suppress the Papal States, and may be able to control two or three dioceses in Italy; a few outstanding popes can basically intimidate They lived in Italy and exerted some influence on other regions; a few famous popes with a strong fist could probably command half of the dioceses in Europe.
As for ordering the whole of Europe and twisting the entire Christian world into one, I'm sorry, but no pope in history has been able to do such an exaggerated thing.
There was also the notorious Inquisition in the Middle Ages, which was not completely controlled by the Pope.
On the contrary, some Popes were almost arrested.
The popes who moved to Avignon in the fourteenth century unfortunately belonged to the weakest group.
They were unable to control the situation in Rome and did not dare to go to their posts alone, so they were forced to move the Holy See.
Therefore, it is natural to imagine how much control the successive Avignon popes have over Italy and the Papal States, which is just an empty name.
Even Avignon, where they live, did not belong to the Holy See until last year.
Such a pope is basically a puppet of the French king, and he even had the sad experience of being "unable to leave the church door."
Such a frustrating and powerless situation was obviously not liked by Clement VI.
Therefore, not long after he ascended the throne, he sent a Crusader fleet to Asia Minor in 1344, captured Izmir, defeated the Ottoman Turkish pagans, and gained fame through military exploits.
At the same time, he worked hard to restore the authority of the Pope in the Rome area, and managed to resolve the disputes between several local wealthy nobles, which finally enhanced the Pope's presence in the European political arena.
However, his above-mentioned series of twists and turns only increased his sense of presence, and did not even gain widespread recognition.
The Papal State, centered on Rome, is still at odds with the Holy See in Avignon, and the danger of splitting is brewing at any time.
The Italian Papal State actually disobeys the orders of the Holy See and may even become an enemy of the Pope at any time.
This is really a sad reality.
Therefore, when he learned that these winged "angels" and "paladins" Levi actually wanted to interfere in the secular world and quell the rebellion of the Queen of Naples, Clement VI immediately asked for a ride.
Use the power of angels to suppress the opposition of the Papal State.
After the Pope's heartfelt explanation, the confidant suddenly woke up, but was still a little worried, "I already understand your painstaking efforts, but if we want to expedition to Rome and shock the Italian princes, we have the current I'm afraid the military strength is far from enough.
After enduring the catastrophe of the plague, your guard only has twenty to thirty professional warriors left, including only four knights.
If you mobilize the most pious and wealthy citizens in the city, you may be able to gather an army of two hundred people.
Isn’t this small number of troops too shabby?”
"That's enough.
We are not going to fight.
Italians are not pagans.
How dare they openly brandish swords against the messenger of the Lord?"
The Pope waved his hand disapprovingly, but frowned again, "What I am really worried about is another issue: this trip to Italy, our people, the Queen's people, and the Paladin's people combined , no matter what, there must be nearly a thousand people.
I want to carry them all at once.
It is not something that can be done at any time with so many people and luggage crossing the sea.
With the epidemic spreading now, I wonder if the Marseille Port can raise enough ships and sailors.
It would be very difficult to cross the Alps by land.”
Under the dim candlelight, Pope Clement VI murmured to himself and touched his chin, falling into deep thought.
In short, the travelers' trip to the Holy City finally came to a satisfactory end: the citizens of Avignon were saved, and at least within six months, before the vaccine expired, there was no need to worry about the Black Death.
Although he was almost dead before.
Doraemon has raised another asset worth about 1.5 billion yen.

Although the principal of the loan is still not expected, at least the interest for the next month can be paid.
The Catholic Church pinched its nose and accepted a reform proposal that could not be rejected.
Fortunately, it did not seem to cause much harm to the Holy See itself.
Queen Joanna and Pope Clement VI saw the hope of taking advantage of the situation to defeat the enemy and restore their power, and the price was still something they could afford.
Then, on the Book of Time Travel in Wang Qiu’s hand, several lines of golden characters showing rewards appeared: "Put out the Black Death in Avignon and get 500 reward points" "Preliminarily reversed the discrimination and prejudice against cats in medieval Europe and obtained 500 reward points" "Correct some fatal fallacies of medieval European medicine and get 1200 bonus points" "Promoted the religious reform in advance to a certain extent, making it more suitable for social progress, and obtained 2300 reward points" "Currently, we have accumulated 18,500 reward points, please keep up your efforts."
Finally, on the day of departure, when everyone packed their luggage and prepared to go to Italy, Wang Qiu discovered that they were indeed taking a different path this time.
Doraemon had already erected a random door in front of the Papal Palace, and he stepped through it.
Can walk from Avignon to Naples "This Doraemon, didn't you say that in a different world without terrain data, the random door can't be used?
Why can it be used now?"
Wang Qiu looked at the dumbfounded and unacceptable looks of the medieval Europeans.
He quietly pulled Doraemon over and asked.
"Because this world is not based on an imaginary plot and is completely different from the real earth.
It is the historical time and space of medieval Europe.
I only need to go to the 22nd Century Time and Space Administration and spend money to input information into the random door. , you can use it.
Of course, the fee is really expensive, and I would not be willing to waste it like this if it is not very necessary."
Doraemon replied.
"Then why didn't we use it on the way from Marseille to Avignon?"
Ma Tong also came over and asked.
"Because we have to collect property along the way to collect money.
Otherwise, where will the money come from to input medieval information into the random door?
I just finished it."
Doraemon rolled his eyes, "Okay, it's getting late.
Alright, let’s go quickly.”
Um.
No matter what, it's always good to make traveling a little easier, so they set off.
Immediately afterwards, the next moment they stepped through the random door, everyone found that they seemed to have stepped into the death kingdom of the undead oshow7:
