Conquer the Dawn of Heaven

Mahimo walked briskly through corridors and spiraling stairs.

He was wearing sandals tied with a double belt and stepped on the marble floor with a crackling sound. Although it was sultry June, Mahimo's mood was surprisingly good.

This was the first day that he became the secretary of the Roman City Defense Officer. Although there was nothing to be done by him, the monk had already felt his identity change.

Perhaps it was Giovanni ’s death that really frightened the Romans. Nobles dared not raise any objections to Alexander VI ’s decision to appoint Alexander as Roman official, even though Rome nominally had its own city hall, and Alexander VI The world can rule only the Vatican.

How scary the pope's anger will be, no one wants to try it, especially what a pope with the pain of bereavement will do is no one dare to guess.

Everyone has suspicions. I don't know when this rumor really spread.

Although people had known this in private before, it seemed that this statement was made public directly after Alexander entered Rome.

The first person he publicly questioned was actually Skop of the Farne family.

Although he was not said to be the murderer, if he publicly questioned whether Skop might benefit from Giovanni's death, it immediately caused anxiety throughout the city.

Because people are very clear, if even the Farnese family is suspected, does that mean everyone is suspected?

The comers are not good, this is the impression of countless Romans on Alexander.

Although many people knew that they were really unfair to this Neapolitan before, they never thought that the foreigner would return to Rome in such a way.

Even worse, this time he seemed to have the power to determine the fate of some of them.

Mahimo walked up the stairs in the respectful eyes of a group of servants, inferior officials, and even a few nobles. The Roman City Hall was not high, but there was an unusually large spiral staircase, and the staircase always led to the room The top, so when Mahimo came to the roof, he saw Alexander standing on the edge of the roof and looking down.

"Sir, you are not in your office, is it because of the uncomfortable layout inside?" The monk walked over and stood side by side with Alexander, then looked at the Town Hall Square below, and he nodded. "But this is indeed a very good place Place, standing here is like, like ... "

While the monk was still wondering what words to use to describe his mood at this time, Alexander raised his finger to a place on the square.

"Just there, someone tried to attack me and Sophia."

Masimo was stunned, and then he remembered what happened to Alexander, who had heard about it in the letter, when he first arrived in Rome when he executed a sentence that executed a betrayal maid.

At a critical moment, Sophia killed the female prisoner who was almost robbed with a short crossbow, and the man trying to do so was a man with a mask on his face.

Mahimo didn't know why Alexander suddenly mentioned this, but he knew it was not time to express his inner emotions, so he whispered immediately: "Master, we are ready, you can tour the whole Roman city at any time."

Alexander looked at the monk. He could imagine how proud Mahimo was now, but the excitement on the monk's face made him feel a little funny.

Let the Romans know our adults. This is what Mahimo told others.

After returning to Alexander, Mahimo immediately seemed to be the first person beside Alexander.

Even those soldiers who had just fought Alexandria **** the battlefield were commanded by him.

As for Aufrei, according to Mahimo, "people who make a difference on the battlefield may not be able to swim in the quagmire of Rome."

Mahimo said very well, Rome is different from Oral, Chimone or Montina, there is no howling shells and deafening gunshots, there is no terrible flow vector flying everywhere and can be killed at any time Spears and swords, but here is no safer than the battlefield.

Even more terrible!

Piazza della Caracillas, a small place that was not famous before, has become the most famous place in the city of Rome.

Before entering the irregular long square, you can feel some kind of unspeakable silence, which is in sharp contrast to the bustling Jewish gathering area formed by the disorderly houses all around.

The Dracula Square is a long strip running from north to south, and the slightly curved center is the center of the square. A small fountain that has dried up has become the only view on the square. Resting and chatting next to the closed fountain, sometimes there are a few entertainers selling art here to make some change.

But at this time, the small fountain was quiet around, and that kind of quietness was even a bit scary.

Giovanni died under a stone alcove in a square opposite the fountain.

It was a Virgin who wished to pray for an alcove and fell slightly into the alcove of the wall. Mary's expressionless eyes stared down at a place in front of her, which was later found to be Giovanni's death.

Giovanni's body was found in the Tiber River, and it was finally confirmed that the place of the killing was this place in Dracala Square.

Alexander did not know how the officials of this era surveyed the crime scene, but he did see a darkened stain on the stone ground in front of the alcove.

Even if not sure, Alexander, who has seen too many lives and deaths on the battlefield, still instinctively recognized that it was a blood stain.

So, Giovanni really died here?

Alexander deliberately pondered that the death of Giovanni, even a few hundred years later, is still an unsolvable mystery, just like countless unsolvable mysteries in history, except for the key such as the main messenger and the murderer. In fact, there are speculations about where he died.

It was said that Giovanni had just come out of a house belonging to Xia Sang on the day of his death. Such rumours Alexander actually did not believe it.

He knew that Giovanni was an unruly man, even because he was also infected with a romantic disease, and he and Xia Sang did have some unclear relationship. This is also well known.

But at this time, entangled with Xia Sang? Alexander felt that Giovanni would not be so stupid.

Caesar has been to Naples for some time, and no matter what the outcome of the talk should be, there is already an answer, and Xia Sang is the younger sister of Afan, the husband of Duke Billichelli, whom Caesar is going to find for Lucrezia.

Whatever the purpose, Giovanni would not want to see Caesar's success at this time, especially after hearing that Caesar actually took advantage of the opportunity to marry his sister and tried to pursue the daughter of King Frederick of Naples. Giovanni must have been very angry.

At this time, Giovanni will feel the mood to continue fooling around with Xia Sang?

Presumably he would only think that Xia Sang had stood with Caesar.

After all, for Xia Sang, it is good for their brothers and sisters to reach this family matter, so why not stand on Caesar's side.

What's more, according to some rumors, apart from the husband Jeffrey, it seems that the brothers have a different relationship with Xia Sang.

Alexander crouched down and rubbed his fingers gently on the rough stone. The black dry stain seemed to have completely penetrated the stone, and there was no strange feeling in it.

Alexander stood up and looked down from a higher place.

The whole stain showed a radial splash to the surroundings, and there were several irregular small spots on the farthest spot.

Alexander pondered a little, then raised his fist and suspended it over the stain, then released his palm and made a weird gesture.

"Adult," Mahimo, who had finished praying in front of the statue of Our Lady of the Alcove, came over and asked curiously, "Did you find something?"

"What can I find," Alexander smiled softly. "To know that many things can't be found, but some things have to be discovered."

For the inexplicable words of Alexander, Mahimo just nodded inexplicably. The monk knew his identity very well. He was a secretary, and sometimes he also served as an ambassador for the count, or he was a messy errand, and he did n’t care if necessary. He made a pimp for Lord Lord, but the only thing he shouldn't do is to be too smart.

Massimo has seen many self-assured guys, most of them have nothing to end.

Lord Lord may be a good master. Not only does he eat and drink, but he also solves a lot of trouble for him.

At least some Naples tavern owner, after some enlightenment from the lord lord, no longer sees Massimo and wants to chase him down half a street.

Because of this, Massimo felt that it was necessary to treat the Lord ’s master more.

Watching Alexander staring at the blood stain on the ground, the monk pondered for a while, and finally asked, "Master, do you really want to find out who killed Giovanni?"

Alexander looked at Massimo, he knew what the monk was suggesting.

Or anyone in the city of Rome can think of who is most likely to murder Giovanni.

Whose face did Alexander VI wish to see?

Alexander lowered his head and continued to look at the stain on the ground.

Suddenly he turned and said to Massimo: "Go to Gilpitts Palace."

The last time Alexander came to the Gilpitts Palace, it was Giovanni who instructed him to frame another Giovanni. At that time, no one except Alexander would expect Giovanni to be put in a cold coffin and lie In the main hall of the palace where the owner was lost, and then let people who came to see him look past the coffin one by one, and then these people will praise Giovanni generously, and in their praise, Giova Neran is already a saint.

But this is nothing, because everyone knows that all this is meaningless to Giovanni.

He is dead.

Alexander walked into the Gilpitz Palace and got a small nose clip from the door.

Of course he knew what it was for, so he didn't hesitate to use that nose clip to hold his nose.

But even so, the faint stench still makes people sick.

Because of the hot weather, even if the coffin was covered with spices, the disgusting stench still came.

Giovanni has rubbed a thick powder on his exposed skin, but he can still see the thick water that is slowly flowing out from the holes of the flesh and skin that are beginning to ulcerate.

Masimo clutched his nose tightly. He thought he was about to vomit, but he could not violate the order of the lord.

He carefully asked the Duke of Gandino, who was sitting beside him, but when he saw the Duchess of Gandino showing an angry expression, Mahimo immediately became lowered.

"Just take a look, ma'am, just take a look."

"What are you doubting?" The Duchess of Gandino, Giovanni's wife, and Maria de Luna, one of the properties he inherited from his brother Louis, looked at him with suspicion. Monk.

The unexpectedly calmness of the newly-wed widow made Alexander feel incredible. He even felt that there seemed to be something that could be called the Duchess's expression.

"My host wanted to see the wound when the Duke was assassinated." Mahimo said cautiously, he knew that he could not offend the Duchess at this time, but he did not understand why Alexander must see Giovanni's wound .

Someone in the City Hall has already recorded the conditions on Giovanni's body. According to the records, the one who stabbed Giovanni should be a cone with a short sword but a narrow front and a wide front. Self-defense shortsword, the shortest part of this short sword is probably only one finger, and the wide part can reach nearly four fingers together.

This is a typical armor-defense sword.

When he saw this record, the first reaction that appeared in Alexander's mind was his unusual familiarity with this weapon, because according to his knowledge, there was a person with such a strange weapon.

He can even remember the inscription “Pray, piety, courage, and dedication” inscribed in Latin on the spine of the sword.

That sword belongs to Caesar Borgia.

Looking at the body of a deceased duke is obviously an unacceptable move.

Although it cannot be compared with the extreme respect for the dead by the Orientals, this has indeed aroused the surprise of many people.

People looked at Alexandria standing alone in front of the coffin, seemingly completely unmoved by the unbearable stench. Then look at the frowning monk who stood in front of the Duchess. After a while, he could not help but talk in the Palace of Gilpitz Run away.

Maria de Luna looked angrily at the monk in front of her. She knew who this person was, the Naples secretary who had been fortunately appointed by her father-in-law as the Roman city defender, or the Cosenza The attendant beside the countess.

But what made the Duchess unbearable was that such a person dared to make such a request to himself.

"Duke Gandino is the most devout believer of God, and his soul has been returned to heaven, so his body in the world can not tolerate any further violations," the Duchess ’s gaze turned to stand not far away, standing in front of the coffin and just looking down at it. Alexander, who had actually started to decay, "As his wife, I have the responsibility to maintain his last dignity in this world ~ www.ltnovel.com ~ including even if it is because of this that the real murderer escapes?" Alexander turned his head Look to the Duchess "Or you don't care who killed your husband?"

There was extreme anger on Maria de Luna's face. She opened her mouth and stunned what she wanted to say, but the oncoming stench made her feel sick.

Alexander looked thoughtfully at the duchess, and when he was about to speak again, there was a sudden rush of horseshoes outside the Gilpitz Palace.

Accompanied by the tumbling footsteps of the boots on the marble floor, several figures of wind and dust appeared at the entrance of the main hall.

"Let me see him, look at Giovanni!"

A loud voice reverberated in the hall. When the shapely and vigorous figure appeared, everyone in the hall could not help whispering.

Caesar Borgia, is back.
