Crusader Kingdoms Begins with the Black Beast

This feeling is actually very... How should I put it? In Japanese, it's [负德の感能] - something like that. Levi could only say one thing to Queen Mother Belle: "Don't look at me like this, I'm actually only 17 years old (in my physical age) this year... Karl is 27, I..."

"Oh? You're only 17?! Is that true?"

"……real."

"That's great~~~ I'm going to give you a reward. Let's put it this way, there's someone who's been interfering with our marriage with Lombardy lately... It's so annoying. Maybe you can help..."

"? Who? How to help?"

"A small character." Queen Mother Belle smiled, hugged the boy's neck and said, "It's the small character of the Pope - do me a favor and send a few demons over to mess with him!"

"...?"

"How about this, I'll give you the promised reward first - well, if you give birth now, you'll probably have to wait another ten months. Hurry, time is short and the task is heavy! Xia Lulu will also like having a new brother~"

Chapter 1: Dark Bible ()

The feeling is different when the male protagonist of this anime appears in other anime.

Charlemagne is the serious male protagonist of a comic book. We are not talking about the shitty game "Earth Online" here, we are talking about Charlemagne in this book.

What is a serious male protagonist in anime?

There are several female characters around him, but none of them have reached a romantic relationship or above with the male protagonist. Even if they are married, they just hold hands at most. To say "I love you"... no, to say "the moonlight is so beautiful" requires blushing for a long time, and at least 24 minutes (one episode) of planning. The male genitals have never been used, and even in married life, they must dokidoki, blushing and heartbeating, and "innocent". When he sees a woman's naked body, he screams louder than the woman, and few of them will fall flat on their faces. At the very least, if a woman sees his naked body, he will scream like a woman, not to mention any sexual behavior.

This is the male protagonist of the anime.

This guy is much more capable than the eunuchs in the palace. Those who grew up reading this kind of comics are probably still virgins in their thirties... I already know that there is a Dogecoin user in the group who has been framing me on NGA, so just wait and see!

So what about the serious male protagonist in anime?

...Levi's performance is barely up to standard, but not quite serious.

Within seven days, taking the heroine's blood would be as easy as taking something from a bag.

This is called the male protagonist of anime. Don't tell me about the character of the heroine, this or that. The most successful commercial fan work in the past 20 years is the Type-Moon series. Its most important female protagonist in a commercial sense is none other than Artoria Pendaragon (Saber), who is the main character of the saint type. She is steadfast, proud, and indomitable, with the spirit of a saint.

Within 7 days, he was killed by Shirou Emiya (I particularly like to blacken the female characters I like, I have been doing this since elementary school).

Therefore, whether or not one can handle the heroine within a week is the most basic ethics for the male protagonist of anime.

The serious male protagonists of hentai always solve the problem in one encounter, and the evil ones are considered to have a plot. The ones who are instantly killed and given away for free are everywhere, and there is not even a plot. Compared with the ruthless Asian-looking machines of the male protagonists in the mainstream anime, the ruthless bulldozers of the male protagonists in hentai are actually more boring to watch.

——But the problem is that these two must not meet.

Otherwise it's a Tauren book.

Levi hates the minotaur the most, and he always calls himself a pure love warrior. But the problem is that as long as it is a fan work, it has to be a minotaur. (Except for the possible story line of the male and female protagonists of the original work, which is not an if line)

Otherwise, why do you write fan fiction?

When Levi arrived, he felt that something was extremely wrong!

This Charlemagne is a serious male protagonist. He is pure-hearted, passionate, and as warm to his friends as the bright sunshine in midsummer, but as cold and ruthless to his enemies as the harsh wind in midwinter.

This pure Charlemagne, elegant, classy! He must not be vulgar, he was so elegant! Livius doubted that even his son was not his own.

So damn pure! Levi saw it with his own eyes, he and his wife came over hand in hand, and he even blushed when he held hands!

If Levi hadn't done something unfair to Charlemagne with his mother last night, he would really go over to her and grab her by the collar and ask: Is that child yours?

Levi came to Aachen with the intention of uniting the snobs around Charlemagne, and then when he had mastered his magical powers, he would turn the tables and get rid of Charlemagne.

But after coming here, he only cared about how to cheat on Charlemagne. And this was not Livi's initiative, it was just a young grass jumping into the old cow's mouth, and no one could stop it. The widow held the door and slammed it hard on her feet in the middle of the night, fearing that she would

I don't kick the door.

"Oh, snow."

December 12th is Christmas Eve. The soft snow squeaks under my feet. The snow here is not that cold. Affected by the warm and humid air currents from the Mediterranean and the ocean currents in the northern waters of Europe, the average temperature in the north of France is between -24 and - degrees Celsius.

The average temperature in Aachen in December 2021 is 12 degrees, with a minimum temperature of -0 degrees and a maximum temperature of 5 degrees. This is the temperature in northern Europe. Although it is not as warm as India, where people don't need houses at all, it is much warmer than China in the same latitude.

Levi's feet were just on a thick "snow blanket". A heavy snowfall last night also washed the sky clean. The north wind was a bit biting, but it was only slow and gentle, not as howling as last night. He was wearing a sweater inside, a fur coat outside, and leather warm boots on his feet - of course he was not cold.

"I hope next year will be a good year." Ah Fu looked at Levi, smiled and picked up a pile of snow and said, "The weather here is much better than London - oh, by the way, these people today are all my fellow villagers."

"Britain." Levi nodded and said, "Thank you, Astolfo. I won't treat you unfairly."

"Hey, who are we?" Astolfo patted Levi on the waist and happily hugged Levi's waist: "Dear, we are now great partners with a common little secret."

"..." You said that... "Yes, that's right... Anyway, now we can all make money together. Don't worry about the British affairs, I won't interfere. If there is more or less, the less will be mine, and the more will be yours. I can provide 100 pounds of various spices every month - just for you to have the franchise for Britain."

"That's great - Britain, the most remote corner of the world. It's almost out of reach of the Middle East where honey and milk flow." However, the Ansars were the happiest when invading the Middle East. Facts have proved that you are the most capable: "The spices shipped from the East only have one in ten left in Britain. The price is also ridiculously expensive - the price you gave me is too cheap, even if you sell it at a fair price, there will be people who buy it. My dear, you are so good to me..."

Ah Fu was so touched that he almost jumped up and gave her a kiss.

"What's that? You and I are brothers." The hentai version would probably require the man to be the first to come forward, but the hentai version wouldn't - Levi said with his hands behind his back: "But I still want to meet him."

Large enterprises all have this model, with subcontracting at every level - but I have to see who my henchmen's henchmen are so that I can collect the debt when the time comes.

"We're all here, but... although I know them, after all... maybe they don't have such a good sense of demons. Oh, of course I don't dislike you. In fact, I quite like your face. It looks very suitable for my needs, but... they are different."

"It doesn't matter. What drives everything forward in this world is money, money, and more money. Today is Christmas Eve, let's go see the Chamber of Commerce."

Merchants are a hurdle that Europe cannot avoid.

Now as a national businessman of a large distributor, Levi contacted these people to see Charlemagne's financial system. Using spices as a stepping stone is simply a bug.

Simply put, now all the merchants of the major lords are "international" merchants with lord backgrounds. It's similar to the Five Mountains Sword Sect. Li Wei is trying to become the Songshan Sect to see if he can integrate the Five Mountains Sword Sect.

Winning people's hearts is also important.

First, win people’s hearts, without distinction, even the poor; second, win people’s hearts - forget it if you are not a human being, in this era, to be a human being you must have power and money. Those without money and power are basically not considered human beings. People like Camel Xiangzi are not allowed to cry out in pain even when they are beaten.

"But today is Christmas Eve, and it's snowing." Alfu suggested, "Are you planning to spend the night in church?"

"Hmm..." I don't want to at all! I've never been there and I'm not happy about it at all: "Of course, I actually spend this evening in the church every year."

"That's great - let's go together tonight, maybe we can even sleep together. I'll bring my wife over, and we can spend the night together! By the way, our nun has a cold - do you have a reliable nun? I really don't plan to use the nuns outside. They're too dirty."

"This..." Levi thought for a long time and nodded: "I also have a nun who serves as my own, her name is Kitami Reika - oh, by the way, she seems to like interpreting the Bible. If you want, you can go and see her."

Entering the Dark Bible world line?

Chapter 2 Dark Bible () - His Holiness the Pope's Generous Donation

pope.

Very shocked.

Of course, compared to the kind of powerful pope that everyone imagines, the kind who can turn the Middle East into a sea of ​​blood and corpses with just a flick of his finger, and turn the whole of Europe into a BBQ with just a touch of his upper lip.

The current Pope is nothing but a little transparent, pitiful, weakling and a little fool.

It's not that he is completely weak, but there is a certain gap between him and the powerful pope in our impression. As we all know, Christianity inherited the Roman tradition and was divided into two empires in the Middle Ages. The Eastern Orthodox Patriarch obeyed the orders of the Eastern Roman Emperor, and the Western Catholic Church was centered in Rome, but life was not very good. Not to mention that they could barely make ends meet, at least they were divided into two parts.

179

In this world, I am not as well off as those in the East.

The reason is simple: originally only the west was their sphere of influence, and now four-fifths of Spain was green (you may not believe it, but it was true, and it remained so for a long time). In addition, most of Western Europe was ruled by the Carolingian dynasty, and they did not listen to them at all. The Pope of Rome was fighting the Lombard Kingdom every day... with real swords and guns.

Even though you believe in Christianity, there are plenty of opportunities to fight against the Pope. Is the emperor a kind of person? He is the one with the strongest soldiers and horses, the Grand Vizier, and the law of succession of the Guards.

Because of Pippin's donation of land, the Papal States had an enclave. The Papal States was also very happy to crown Pippin, and they took advantage of each other. In particular, the Carolingian dynasty had always had ambitions for the [Lombard Kingdom] in northern Italy.

But the situation is different now.

Italy is now divided into three parts: the Lombard Kingdom in the north, a German barbarian country; the Papal States in the middle, a charlatan country where a German barbarian is the Pope; and the numerous small feudal lords in the south, theoretically the lackeys of the Eastern Roman Empire. The Lombard Kingdom is always at odds with the Papal States because of territorial disputes. If you touch my waist, I will fall into your arms with a cry; if I touch your hips, we will fight instantly.

When the Carolingian dynasty was still in existence, they were eyeing the Lombard Kingdom covetously - they were just separated by the Alps. We are all Germanic barbarians, why don't we get close and unite?

But after the fall of Pepin, the kingdom was divided into two.

Until now, many people still don’t know who owns the territory between Charlemagne and his brother.

Anyone who has played the Hearts of Iron series only needs to remember: the territorial shape of France, right? It is pretty much the same: the coastal areas occupied by the Nazis in the west and north belong to Charlemagne; the undivided area in the southeast, which is close to Italy, belongs to Charlemagne's brother.

Did you suddenly feel that when the mustache man divided the map in 39, he was quite historically sentimental?

Charlemagne's fuck, the one that Levi slept with.

He liked his eldest son Charlemagne because he was easy to control, but he didn't like his youngest son Carloman because he was difficult to control. So he made Charlemagne divorce his first wife and win the princess of the Kingdom of Lombardy, and he made friends with distant countries and attacked nearby countries. Charlemagne's West Frankish Kingdom and the Kingdom of Lombardy in northern Italy did not invade each other.

Haha, your territories don't border each other, so why do you want to sign a non-aggression pact? — Medieval Special Edition of Soviet-German Non-Aggression

The Papal States was instantly furious.

Am I the next one? So the Pope turned into a pure love warrior and resolutely rejected the marriage.

Pope St. Stephen III was furious.

"What? Demon lord? - No! How can this be possible?! I have never heard of a demon being a lord! Carl Charlie is such a fool, his country is doomed, don't take me with him!"

When the Pope heard that West Francia and the Kingdom of Brittany had signed a treaty and the two sides had become subordinate to each other, he became furious, and then felt a sense of fear.

This pope is St. Stephen III. He is 52 years old this year. He looks very energetic, with eight big rings on his ten fingers and the pope's robe is extremely luxurious - of course, it is luxurious within his financial range.

"Your Majesty, there is nothing we can do about it." Cardinal Adrian, who was already sixty years old and skinny, immediately raised an objection: "After all, Karl is now Karl of the kingdom, and Karl's bishop is Karl's bishop."

"…It's simply depravity." The Pope crossed himself and said indignantly, "Letting a devil be the lord is ridiculous! I've heard that Karl's kingdom is not clean. Letting a woman take charge of government affairs. Karl is a wise king, and he's 27 years old. I heard that he is very capable in both civil and military affairs. How can he tolerate a woman making comments and giving orders about his national policies?"

"I heard..." The old man in his sixties looked at the old man in his fifties, and the cardinal said to His Holiness the Pope: "They have a very good relationship as mother and son. Otherwise, why would the mother, Beltrada, support Karl but not Carloman? Oh... There are some rumors among the people that they are mother and son..."

"How disgusting! - Speak carefully!"

The old cardinal in his 60s excitedly reported to the Pope in his 50s three times! Oh, everyone was excited!

"In the Garden of Eden, the devil transformed himself into a snake and let women seduce men. Such stupid things are still everywhere now, which is really disgusting. A woman should not show her face in public, a woman should not be involved in politics, the greatest contribution of a woman is to give birth to children, and the greatest role of a woman is to work quietly for the family in places where men cannot see."

In the letters that Sterwan III wrote to others, it is true that this is how he evaluated Queen Mother Bertrada, and it is the original historical text.

"Now, Beltrada has facilitated an alliance with the Kingdom of Lombardy - this alliance should be cursed! I curse this alliance to be judged, and the people who facilitated this alliance must pay for their endless sins in hell." Sterwan III said indignantly: "Can't the bishops of West Francia work hard to persuade Karl?"

"They listen to Karl more. After all... they get benefits from Karl, but they have to pay taxes to you." Cardinal Adrian said softly, "When Karl came to the throne, he signed a document in front of everyone and gave two-thirds of the inherited property to Quan Guo.

180

Priests. How could the bishops and priests not support Karl? Karl also tried his best to exempt the diocese from taxation, and we want to collect taxes, so this…"

"Ah, Carl, this bastard! So smart... He's a villain, a villain! Using money to corrupt people, how dirty!"

No, he is just a simple Asian male protagonist. Do a good deed and countless invisible benefits will follow. You can't stop the protagonist's aura.

"Oh, yes. There are a few messengers outside. They just arrived."

"What messenger?"

"The messenger from Brittany."

"...? Brittany? Gone!"

"That's right." Cardinal Adrian nodded and said, "That's what I said. His Holiness the Pope has his own beliefs. Why would we want to meet a messenger sent by the devil? Even if we die of poverty, we will never accept the spices that they sent us, which are loaded on six mules! I will refuse them right now..."

"Wait?" Astir III shook his head like a lion. It was really admirable that a man in his 50s could still move so well. Then he came to Cardinal Adrian in a flash, almost jumping over the water: "What spices? What mules? What six horses?"

In the 15th century, it is still the same today. Vote bribery was rampant in the Roman Catholic Church. It has been a tradition since ancient times and can be regarded as an intangible cultural heritage. At that time, people on the streets of Rome openly said: "Why can he be the pope?" Because he brought six mules of gold coins from Spain.

Levi traveled across mountains and rivers to deliver 600 kilograms of spices.

No less than 12 mules of gold coins.

"...If you think about it carefully, demons can also be good. In a sense, demons can also be good. Well, it's not a bad idea to meet them."

Listening to the sutra for three years and then being born as a human being - this kind of incomprehensible story always exists in religion. Legend has it that in the late Eastern Jin Dynasty, there was a master chanting sutras, and an earthworm listened for three years.

The only thing that can survive is probably the earthworm wearing glasses or a belt tied around its neck.

Then, one time when the young monk was cleaning the room, he accidentally cut the earthworm in half. The earthworm died, but because he listened to the sutra for three years, he was reincarnated into a precious human body.

This weak earthworm.

The earthworm died when it was cut from the waist. Are you kidding me? Do you deserve the last name "qiu"?

Anyway, all kinds of religious stories like to use this useless, six-tusked elephant. Anyway... it can be regarded as persuading people to be good and teaching them to learn. If it can stabilize social order, it can be regarded as contributing to social stability (or suppressing the people).

"The Duke of Brittany, the guardian of the guardians of all Breton Christians; the most loyal lackey of Her Majesty Queen Aulica, the pious Demon Lord - His Excellency Livi, presents to His Holiness the Pope: 100 kilograms of cinnamon; 100 kilograms of pepper; 100 kilograms of star anise, 100 kilograms of clove leaves..."

Now I know that the Julian calendar cannot convert this number.

From now on, we will use the Gregorian calendar, which will not appear for another 700 years.

On December 769, 12, His Holiness the Pope received a small gift from Livy.

The expansion of St. Peter's Basilica will take another 700 years. Now, inside the original church, the cardinals are present - after all, they want to have a share. If you can't eat the meat, it's good to smell it. This scene... Have you all seen the 86 version of "Journey to the West"? Yes, it's when they came back from the journey to obtain the scriptures and announced the names of the scriptures. "The Light Sutra, Volume xxx" and "The Bodhisattva Sutra, Volume xxx" are similar.
