Chapter 329 Aristocratic Entertainment(2/2)
“But you were yelling in Joselin’s ear, saying it was priceless.
"You said you wanted to bet with him with this, and then you lost."
Roger grabbed Henk's arm and said, "Let's go find Joselin, I must know what I lost to him."
He thought, could I lose Sicily?
Just as Roger left his seat and was about to go out, he suddenly stepped on something hard under his feet.
He lowered his head and saw that it was a dice made of wood, which seemed to be one of the three dices he had just played.
Roger bent down and picked it up.
Then he found that something was wrong with the dice.
There are no one and two points on it, but there are two 4 points and two 6 points.
Roger's forehead burst out with veins, and he thought, this bastard actually cheated!
Roger pulled Henk and ran quickly to Joselin's tent.
The guards on duty at the door consciously flashed to the side in Genke's terrifying gaze.
Roger broke into Joselin's tent.
Joselin was still sleeping, and Roger pulled him up with the collar and touched him everywhere.
Joselin woke up and said angrily: "Roger, what are you doing?!"
Roger took out the wooden dice and pressed it on Joselin's nose, and he said, "What is this? What is this!"
Joselin suddenly bleeded, saying, "This is just a toy."
Roger said, "Where is the note I wrote for you? Take it out!"
So Joselin took out a note from under the pillow and handed it back to Roger.
Roger saw that there was indeed his handwriting on it, although it was very sloppy.
He looked closely and found that it was not an IOU.
It's a recipe for black gunpowder.
Sulphur is ten, charcoal is fifteen, saltpeter is seventy-five.
Roger questioned Joselin: "Have you seen it?"
Joselin nodded and admitted: "I've seen it."
"Did you remember?"
"Yes, I remember."
Roger angrily tore the note to pieces.
However, he knew it was useless.
He could not have tear the things that Joselin remembered in his head.
Unless he cut off Joselin's head, he could not do so.
Roger scolded angrily: "Joselin, you stole my black powder recipe by cheating.
“This is a very important recipe, and it can be said to be priceless.
“Now you can’t give it back to me, because you have remembered it.
"You, you are so shameless!"
Joselin said in shame: “I didn’t mean to deceive you with the cheating dice I used to joke with on weekdays.
"It was just that I drank too much last night and lost urgently, so I took it out and used it.
"I was wrong, I can give you all the money I won you.
"Even the money I won by you before and I used cheating to get back, I can hand it over to you.
"But I really can't return the things I remember in my mind."
Roger sighed, and he had no choice but to do anything about it.
He simply did a good job and did it all.
Roger instructed: "Joselin, this black gunpowder is a powerful weapon.
“It can produce violent explosions like thunder.
“Even the strongest city wall will collapse because of it.
“But this thing is dangerous.
"If one day you want to use it, be careful and don't put yourself in it."
Joselin was both ashamed and grateful, and said, "I owe you this matter.
"I promise you that as long as I have something as important as the black powder formula and that you need it again, I will hand it over to you to pay off the debt."
Roger patted Joselin on the shoulder speechlessly, and then left his tent.
On the way back to Antioch, Roger negotiated with Rugero.
He didn't lose the gold coins he lost when gambling.
Roger seriously negotiated an agreement with Rugero.
In this agreement, Roger made it clear that he supported Rugero's continued reign of Antioch.
And he would convince Boschmond to not be in charge of the rule before he became an adult.
Rugero also solemnly promised that when Bosimund became an adult, or when necessary, he would return Antioch to the other party intact.
The two of them then reached a trade agreement.
Roger exchanged 600 sets of those 1,000 good horses with Rugero for 600 sets of them. The other party stored them in the warehouse and seized Turkic leather armor, shields and long swords.
Then Roger went to find Baldwin of Burke again.
He talked to Baldwin about Boschymond and Alice.
He hopes that Baldwin will be the mentor of Boschymond, teaching the latter how to survive and rule on this land.
Baldwin agreed happily.
He said that he would never object to Alice and Boschmond being together.
Roger saw that Baldwin breathed a sigh of relief after saying these words.
He knew that Baldwin had always been worried that Alice, who had been captured by pirates, would not be able to marry because of rumors.
He knew that for Baldwin, Alice was undoubtedly the best choice to marry Boschmond Jr.
If these two people can walk together, it will have an excellent effect in making up for the rift between Antioch and Edessa and strengthening the connection between the two.
Roger felt that the changes in things were beyond his previous expectations.
Originally thought that the biggest obstacle to the rule of Bosimmond was Prince Regent Rugero.
Unexpectedly, it was himself who became the obstacle in the end.
Although Roger has reason to say that such an arrangement is better for Boschymond Jr.
After all, if you agree before coming, let Boximond ascend to the throne of the prince directly.
The final result is likely to be: Little Bosimund, who is completely unable to control the current complex situation, leads Antioch to destruction.
This is a result that no one can accept.
But Roger knew that the fundamental reason for his arrangement was out of his own selfishness.
He thought that when he took over as King of Jerusalem, his primary task was to resist the military oppression of the Turks.
By then, Rugero, who can mobilize Antioch power more than Bosimmond, will become his important help.
