Nicki Fruz told the whole story of last night in front of Anastasius. Not only Grand Duke Anastasius, but even Justinian, who had known a little bit earlier, looked very serious on his face.

As the messenger of Nicea, it was nothing surprising to leave Fort Wiscaris after knowing that the Moria no longer had the will to surrender to the Rascaris family. However, the Earl George killed the Byzantine guards of the Watergate in order to prevent no one from realizing him. Moreover, from Nichifruz, they also realized that Earl George might have been instructed by others and had other intentions. What's more important is that there were several Assassins lurking in the city that made Anastasius feel even cold. Although the Byzantine Empire did not have much intersection with these pagan killers, anyone would be afraid of Assassin who almost assassined Saladin, especially thinking that these assassins might cut your throat in their sleep one night.

"Are you sure you didn't say anything untrue, Nickifrus?" The old man took a deep breath and looked at Nickifrus' eyes in front of him with a heavy gaze to see if there was any falsehood.

"I'm sure, Lord Grand Duke, I can see everything clearly." But although Nickifrus was a little panicked, it was caused by the terror of recalling what happened before. Anastasius, who had experienced countless storms and waves in his life, knew that he did not lie, but the old man hoped in his heart that this was not true.

It can really be said that one wave has not yet been settled and the other has started again. The George Border Bo has done such a thing, which must have been detrimental to Wiscari, and the successive events have exhausted the Grand Duke Anastasius both physically and mentally.

"Are you still hesitating, Lord Grand Duke? Now you only need to search for the assassins in the city. It is not too late to strengthen the defense of Fort Wiscari." Justinian looked at the old man in front of him and asked. He didn't understand why Anastasius was still hesitating at this moment.

And just then, the old man in front of him suddenly glanced at Nicky Fruce and said, "You retreat first, I have something to say to Justinian alone."

"Yes, Grand Duke." Nicky Fruth did not dare to neglect and hurriedly retreated. For a moment, two old and young were left in the dark room, and both sides were staring at each other with their eyes.

Suddenly, the serious old man sighed, "You shouldn't have come, Justinian. If it weren't for your appearance, the Morian nobles wouldn't have fantasy about rejecting the invitation of the Rascaris family. If I was not mistaken, the other party should have had the intention to kill. Since Morian nobles have clearly not stood on the side of Nicea, then Lascaris would never be willing to be Epirus's help." Having seen too many intrigues, Anastasius fully believed that Nicea would do this. He now finally understood why the prompt on the Green Matsutake Rock was Justinian. It was because of Justinian's appearance that everything changed. He originally wanted to take the spark of the Morian nobles to escape from the land of right and wrong, but the young man in front of him dragged them into a sinister storm.

Of course Justinian understood what the old man in front of him said, and shrugged indifferently: "That's true, but in the end, the greed of the nobles you expected caused all this. I had no interest in you."

"Then what's your intention to come here?" the old man suddenly raised his voice and shouted, looking at the young man in front of him, as deafening as a bell.

Faced with the questioning of Grand Duke Anastasius, Justinian did not hide it and admitted frankly: "Princess Odosia and her daughter are the purpose of my trip, that's all."

"Is it Muzfius's instructions? So that's it. His eyes were so sharp that he actually chose a great little guy like you." After hearing Justinian's answer, Anastasius immediately showed a look, and everything was explained. It seems that Justinian is not just a person from the Ducas family in rumors, but in fact he still has a connection with his original owner Muzfius.

"As long as you do me a favor, I can promise you to solve this problem for you." Justinian made a promise. He was unwilling to stay in this place of trouble, but he wanted to regain Odosia and his daughter from Duke Leo without the help of the old man in front of him. Justinian could do nothing.

Seeing this scene, Anastasius showed a strange expression, then smiled bitterly and sighed slightly: "Justinian, do you believe in things like fate?"

Justinian was slightly stunned. Why did the old man in front of him suddenly ask such a strange question? He was caught off guard and didn't know how to answer.

At the same time, on the sea south of Fort Wiscarri, a Venetian fleet was gathering. They came from Crete, with thousands of people in number. Such a warship fleet is not easily mobilized by ordinary people. As the commander of this fleet, he was Ranieri Dandoro, the son of the Governor of Venice. Although his father was seriously ill in Constantinople, he still had to preside over the overall situation as the Duke of Crete in the Republic. Now he actually led the Venetian Navy stationed in Crete to the fullest.

And his target was nothing else, but the Fort Wiscarri where the Molia nobles were located.

In fact, before, the Venetians had no idea where the nobles of Molia hid in southern Peloponnese, and not long ago Ranieri met a special guest.

"I really didn't expect there would be cooperation between us." Looking at the Byzantine in front of us, Ranieri's expression was meaningful.

But the George Border Beth in front of him did not care about the teasing in the other party's words and said, "This is normal. Didn't Lingzun also provide our Emperor in Constantinople with a lot of information about Henry of Flanders in Flanders? It was just a exchange of interests. I think if this success was successful, the victory would be enough to give you a large enough advantage in the Venetian Parliament, so that the extortion of Lingzun in the Roman Catholic Church might be lifted as soon as possible."

This sentence suddenly hit Ranieri's pain. His father, Governor Dandolo, devoted his efforts to the Republic, but was expelled from the Church for looting Zara and Constantinople. The old man who is now seriously ill can only return to Venice in a foreign land of Constantinople. As a son, Ranieri certainly wanted to lift the extortion order of the Church for his father.
