King of German Mercenaries

After Schwartz took away half of the people, Marin still had 100 people, including strong generals like Kahn, excellent investigators like Sauer, and butler Kohler.

After sending Schwartz away, Marin immediately started his second plan to come to Italy - recruiting Leonardo da Vinci...

So, Marin took 100 of his men and rode to the Principality of Milan...

At this time, Leonardo da Vinci was still serving in the Milan court. He was a court musician and court painter in Milan and was very popular. But what makes people strange is that Da Vinci never married a wife in his life and seems not interested in women. Therefore, many people suspect that Da Vinci is gay...

Da Vinci has a weird temper. Although the place where he lives is close to the Royal Palace of Milan, it is also a relatively remote place near the Royal Palace, a small independent villa.

After Marin entered the city of Milan, although he brought 100 people, he did not bring many people to recruit Da Vinci, but only a few followers. Because it is too conspicuous to bring too many people.

This time he came to Milan to recruit Da Vinci, but he was digging the corner of the Duke of Milan. If the Duke of Milan finds out, not to mention the failure of the plan, he might even be beaten.

You know, he's just a baron, many steps away from a duke. Even if the Duke of Milan beat him up, he didn't deal with it. What's more, Ludovico Sforza, Duke of Milan, is the uncle of Bianca Maria Sforza, the current wife of Maximilian I. The Duke of Milan beat him up, and the emperor would definitely not speak for him...

Therefore, if Marin wanted to recruit Leonardo Da Vinci, an artist from the Milan court, he could only come quietly and not openly, otherwise it would be an act of solicitation.

In the evening, when Da Vinci returned home, Marin immediately visited Da Vinci with several entourages. The polite exchange between the two was very pleasant, and they also talked about some elegant things in art. In fact, Marin had only read some articles in his previous life, but he was really not very proficient in these artistic pretences. After discussing art with Da Vinci for a while, Marin was already sweating on his forehead...

There is no way, half a bucket of water meets an expert, it is really no match. If it weren't for the courtesies of the two sides, Da Vinci also gave face, and Marin would have been embarrassed.

In fact, what Marin wanted to talk about most was mechanics and the natural sciences. However, these things are a bit off-limits during this time period. If it leaks out, there is a danger of being tied to the stake. It was only the first time I met Da Vinci, and it was impossible to talk about these forbidden theories right away. So, the conversation was a bit deadlocked.

No way, Marin can only smash it with money. In order to recruit Da Vinci, Marin offered a super high annual salary of 500 gold coins, which is almost 40 times the income of ordinary people, and several times higher than Da Vinci's current annual salary. However, Marin, who has always relied on money to make money, suddenly lost his hand...

"Baron Marin, thank you for your love, but I'm used to staying in Milan. Besides, there are many artists here, and I get along very well. Here, I can discuss art with those artists every day, and I am very happy."

"The salary you gave me is really tempting. But, I am a bachelor, why do I need so much money? Texel, I know, is just a desolate North Sea island. There are no artists to communicate with me, I I'll be alone..." After speaking, it means that he refused Marin's solicitation...

"I can talk to you about mechanical reconciliation of human anatomy (anatomy)..." Marin didn't want to blurt out.

Da Vinci's face changed instantly, you must know that Catholicism absolutely forbids autopsy of human corpses. Want to dissect? Play with monkey dissection. If you dissect people, the Holy See will tie you to the stake.

After the Renaissance began, although many biologists began to dissect corpses secretly. However, when they dissect corpses, they usually steal the corpses of executed prisoners and bring them home to the basement for an autopsy. Otherwise, there is a risk of being burned to death. Anatomy-related theories are also privately communicated by like-minded people.

Da Vinci didn't know who told Marin that he liked anatomy,

But it was about his life, and he never dared to admit it. Even Da Vinci wondered if Marin was sent by the Holy See to set him up. Because, Marin is too young, and he is not burly, not like the legendary "brother general" who defeated the French king... So, he immediately turned cold and was ready to chase people...

Malin didn't look good, and knew that he was talking nonsense. But he didn't want to give up either. Since Da Vinci was disgusted, normal recruiting methods wouldn't work. So he nodded to Kahn next to him and said:

"Stun and take away!"

...

Then, Leonardo da Vinci, a great artist and scientist of a generation, was struck on the back of the neck with a knife by the bull Kahn and passed out.

Then, Marin found a sack, put the big artist in it, and was about to take it back to the small hotel he had packed...

Before leaving, he instructed Sauer to wait:

"Take away all the artworks here, take off the paintings on the walls, pack them and take them away. Be careful, don't break them! Otherwise, I will rip your skin off!"

After he finished speaking, Marin walked with his hands behind his back and walked with Kahn, who was carrying the sack. Sauer and the others stayed behind to collect the works of art collected and created by Da Vinci...

...

In the middle of the night, Sauer quietly came to Marin's room to report;

"Master, everything is packed. It's just that there are many things in the basement that are inconvenient to pack..."

"What's the matter?"

"Dead bones, a lot of dead bones... There are adults, and there are children... The subordinate thinks, this Da Vinci, is it a murderer? So many bones... It's too cruel... Even children Don't let it go..." Sauer felt a lingering fear. Although Sauer has also killed people, like Marin, he only kills enemies and opponents, and will never attack the elderly, women and children. He was very angry at seeing the skeleton of the child.

"Haha, Sauer, you misunderstood. This Da Vinci is a scientific lunatic. I guess I either stole or bought these corpses. This guy likes to dissect corpses..."

"Ah - what a pervert!" Sauer is just an ordinary person, but he can't understand the enthusiasm of scientists' research. In his opinion, Da Vinci desecrated the corpse...

"Don't worry about it so much, we will leave the city tomorrow morning! By the way, Sauer, you send someone to throw away all the bones in Da Vinci's basement, so as not to be discovered by others!"

"Ah? Why?"

"Master, I want to recruit this person to do things. If others find so many corpses in his basement in the future, they have been autopsied. Maybe this guy will be wanted by the Holy See. How can I dare to take him in?"

"Master Yingming, I'll do it now!"

...

The next morning, after breakfast, Marin arranged for Kahn to skillfully knock Da Vinci unconscious, put Da Vinci in a sack, hid it in the dark compartment of the carriage, and took him out of Milan...
