Chapter 45 Palermo
The famous detective Roger Kogoro does not need to be substituted for thinking, and then you can just reason.
What choice does Lenurfer have after the parties admit defeat?
He can choose to admit defeat, the price is to lose face; he can also choose to continue fighting, but he wants to fight four. The final result is nothing more than death in battle and surrender, in full view of everyone.
No matter how he chooses, he won't get it.
So even if Lenurfer looked down on that boy, he was happy to listen to the boy's orders and put away the axe, which was the best result for him.
Roger Kogoro came to the conclusion: In this world, many people live in the eyes of others, and each of them hopes to get praise from others rather than ridicule them.
When they can't do it themselves and there is someone who can help them do it, they will be happy to obey the person and do it according to the person's requirements.
And if this person can do this more than once, people will spontaneously recognize his request and obey his orders, and this person will become an authority.
The famous detective Roger Kogoro completed the mission and left.
Roger thought, and when he figured out, he felt relieved. He was ready to take a good sleep to reward himself.
As soon as he closed his eyes, he heard the guards come to report: "Sir, I have passed the mountain pass in front of me, and there are many people to welcome me at the gate of the city, as well as Gentile envoys. The lady instructs you to be sure to cheer up."
So Roger put on a brand new chain mail, a burqa coat with a burqa, a bright red cloak, a shiny iron helmet with a nose guard, and rode a docile white horse. He was handsome, elegant and graceful, as if he had changed his own person.
When Roger crossed the pass, the entire Palermo Basin was revealed before him.
He thought, this is really a beautiful scallop shell.
The lush mountains are like a "c" that surround the Palermo basin, with the gap in the "c" facing a slightly northerly direction in the east, where there is a deep blue, connecting to the Western Mediterranean Sea.
The city of Palermo is located next to the coastline in the middle of the gap in the "c" character. The entire city is basically square, with high stone walls surrounding it.
Two wide and straight stone brick roads are cross-shaped to divide the entire city into four pieces, forming a city gate at the midpoints of the four walls.
Where the roads cross, that is, the center of the entire city, there is a circular square.
To the south of the square is a Catholic church with three red domes, built in stone and looks like a mosque.
On the north side of the east gate, the northeast corner of the city, a hole was broken into the city wall, and deep blue water poured in. It was a natural harbor.
The harbor is deeply sunk into the city of Palermo. In the harbor, the big and small boats are densely packed together, like fish with gills touching neatly arranged gills on stalls.
On the innermost side of the depression is a flat pier. Roger knew that it was the famous agarwood pier, and almost all trade in Africa and Western Europe now passes here.
Roger looked away and looked to the southwest of Palermo City. The stone brick road around the city was adjacent to the city wall, where there was a beautiful garden.
On the east side of the garden is a not-high soil slope, and there is a complex of buildings on the slope. The whole is like a deformed "Sun". The three-story stone building encloses two square atriums in the middle.
This is Roger's new home, the royal palace built by the Arabs on the ruins of ancient Carthage and ancient Rome.
Roger and his party entered Palermo from West Gate. The jazz accompanying him all used their own flags. The entire team was full of flags, and everyone was majestic.
Roger and Adelaide met the city administrators and the city’s citizens’ representatives at the gate.
Roger discovered that most of them were Saracenians in Arab costumes.
He listened to Adelaide speaking nonsense in a solemn tone, still in Norman French.
He saw the Arabs nodding, pretending to be able to understand.
In the end, Adelaide took out Roger in a high profile. Roger also symbolically poses, like a proud peacock.
Then everyone cheered and praised in unison, some of whom spoke Latin and some of whom spoke Norman French were able to understand these Rogers;
Some people who speak Arabic, Roger can basically understand Father Toppo's teachings;
There are also Greek, German, Italian, Roger couldn't understand but could barely tell which language family belonged to;
As for various other local dialects, Roger was completely blind.
Their voices were quite neatly coaxed, but Roger knew that it was all nonsense.
Then the team continued to move forward and went straight to the palace, and everyone scattered and rested.
Those with titles led by the guards to their room, while the lower knight could only set up tents in the open space outside the palace.
Roger learned his lesson this time, and he specifically asked Dennis to arrange more personnel to maintain order. So although there was noisy outside, nothing happened. He himself refused to go out to join in the fun.
Arabic decorations can be seen everywhere in the palace, with repeated geometric figures covering every blank space in the room, inlaid gems, colorful glass, and thick carpets that weave geometric figures.
All of these made Roger very interested. He seemed to have entered the Arab world. But he suppressed his curiosity and just admired it in his room, but he just didn't go out to stroll.
Roger made up his mind not to cause trouble, but he didn't want to let him go. When Danny came to report in a panic, Roger knew that he was going to have a headache again.
He directly intercepted Danny's words and asked, "Is anyone causing trouble?"
"Yes, but they..."
"Are both sides stalemate? No one is willing to give in?"
"Yes, but this time..."
"They are all trash. Let them be the sages and don't bother me."
"But...but..." Danny looked embarrassed.
"Okay, okay," Roger knew he couldn't hide, "Tell me, who started arguing?"
"It's the messenger."
Roger thought that this matter involved the Gentiles, and the general manager really couldn't control it. He asked, "Whose messenger?"
"Heinrich of Heinrich, of the Holy Roman Empire."
"It's a big deal, so you have to be careful, so who should you argue with?"
"And the messenger of Heinrich."
"Where is Heinrich?"
“Heinrich of the Holy Roman Empire.”
Roger felt a little dizzy. He thought he had heard it wrong, so he said, "You report it in detail."
Then Danny reported seriously: "This messenger of Heinrich said that the messenger of Heinrich was the messenger of the pseudo-emperor; the messenger of Heinrich said that the messenger of Heinrich was the messenger of the rebels..."
"Stop, stop, talk about tongue twisters, just tell me which one is the messenger of the Holy Roman Empire?"
"They all say they are messengers of the Holy Roman Empire."
"So which Heinrich is the true Holy Roman Emperor?"
"They all say that their Emperor Heinrich is the true Holy Roman Emperor."
Roger covered his face, then he put down his hand and looked at Danny like a piece of wood.
He shouted angrily: "All the messengers have been reviewed by the Intelligence Manager. You don't know how to ask him who is true and who is false?"
Danny looked aggrieved: "I just asked but I don't know what to do. Muttier said it's all true."
