King of German Mercenaries

Marin quickly found the blacksmith shop that specializes in the manufacture of screw extrusion oil presses. The blacksmith shop in this era can make anything. Everything from sewing needles and nails to oil presses can be made.

The blacksmith found by Marin is the best manufacturer of screw extrusion presses in Milan. With a big wave of his hand, Marin directly smashed it with gold coins, and packaged and hired the 10 craftsmen in the blacksmith shop together with the boss (the boss was also an excellent craftsman). Those craftsmen's eyes narrowed as Marin took out a large pile of gold coins. Moreover, Marin directly offered a high salary of 2 shillings a day. This treatment, even the owner of the blacksmith shop, could not resist the temptation. You must know that their blacksmith shop does not have big business every day. On average, the daily profit is about 1 shilling. Following Malingan is more than opening a blacksmith's shop, and you don't have to take risks.

And Marin was in a good mood after hiring these 10 craftsmen who were good at making screw extrusion oil presses, so he started to play in Milan...

On a bridge in the north of the city, Marin stopped and watched the surrounding scenery and...beautiful...

There are many Italian beauties. Of course, it is not that Italian women are beautiful, but the women here are good at dressing themselves. Even going out to buy a needle and thread, Italian women dress themselves up beautifully. This habit, which became popular during the Renaissance, is now in vogue.

Marin saw that the aunts who came out to buy vegetables were all dressed beautifully. As for those young women, not to mention.

No, Marin saw a 17- or 18-year-old beautiful woman approaching, but her brows were furrowed, as if she had encountered some trouble. And in her hand, she was holding a paper bag, and she didn't know what was inside.

However, Marin took a closer look at her appearance and almost fell off the bridge in fright:

"Fuck me! Is this the Mona Lisa?"

Marin calmed down and observed it carefully again, and found that it really looked like the Mona Lisa. Of course, Leonardo da Vinci's masterpiece "Mona Lisa" was completed around 1503, when the Mona Lisa was about 22 years old. And now is 1499, the girl who looks like Mona Lisa in front of you is seventeen or eighteen years old, and it is very likely that Mona Lisa herself...

Marin was instantly excited, Mona Lisa! That is the goddess who has been famous in the world for 500 years! Whether in history class or art class, "Mona Lisa" is a timeless classic and an important topic that cannot be ignored.

Marin has seen the "Mona Lisa" too many times, and is naturally familiar with its appearance. It's just that the Mona Lisa in front of me is not smiling, but frowning...

"Beautiful lady, where have we met? Is your name Mona Lisa?" Marin stepped forward impatiently and asked in Latin.

The beautiful woman who was walking with a frown paused slightly, frowning as she watched Marin. Marin thought that the other party could not understand Latin, and wanted to ask an Italian translator to help. Unexpectedly, the beauty spoke, also in Latin, but not very proficient:

"Sir, I think you've got the wrong person. My name is Lisa Giocondo, not Mona Lisa..."

"Lisa Giocondo? Yes, there is such a saying!" There are many versions of who the Mona Lisa is. One of the widely circulated versions is-Mona Lisa's real name is Li Sa Giocondo was the wife of a Florentine merchant. However, that was in 1503. And the "Mona Lisa" in front of me is only seventeen or eighteen years old, and obviously she is not married yet...

At this point, Marin had already determined that the "Mona Lisa" in front of him was the Mona Lisa written by Leonardo da Vinci. So, he used his brain... Of course, Marin didn't use his brain for the beauty of Mona Lisa, but the oil painting...

"Mona Lisa" is Leonardo da Vinci's most classic painting and the most expensive oil painting in the world.

It is also a national treasure of the world power of France, and its value is immeasurable.

Marin took Leonardo da Vinci to East Friesland, which made the immortal world famous painting "Mona Lisa" lost its chance to be born. But, with the Mona Lisa in sight now, Marin decided to coax this beauty into East Frisian as a model, and then ask Ada to paint her a painting... oh no, a few... Then, these oil paintings can be collected in the palace of Marin, as the treasure of the palace, to improve the force of the palace of Marin...

Then, Marin followed Lisa Jiaocondo stubbornly, and began to talk...

"Mona Lisa" is still very young after all and does not have enough vigilance. After Marin revealed his status as an earl, the little girl regarded him as a good person. Under Marin's language inducement, the little girl said everything.

It turned out that the little girl's father, also a painter, once served the Milan court, and Da Vinci was a colleague, and they had a good relationship with each other...

Marin immediately understood, no wonder Leonardo da Vinci was willing to paint for it later in Florence. It turned out to be the daughter of an old friend...

However, just a few years ago, the father of the "Mona Lisa" probably suffered from lung disease due to long-term exposure to toxic painting dyes. It's not the kind that kills, but it's deadly. Because her father can no longer work because of this. Not only that, but also need to spend a lot of money, take medicine to maintain. Also, the price of medicine is not cheap...

Therefore, the "Mona Lisa" family immediately changed from being rich to being poor. The little girl just went to the pharmacy to buy medicine from her father.

Because of the high cost of medicines, Lisa Giocondo's family has become unsustainable and is about to go bankrupt. Before that, a middle-aged wealthy Florentine businessman fell in love with Lisa Giocondo and wanted to marry her as his successor (the businessman had previously died of his wife), and Lisa was having a headache.

If it was a young businessman, Lisa might have agreed. However, it was a man in his forties or fifty years. In modern times, maybe he is still middle-aged and can live for a long time. But in this thought, people in their 40s and 50s died because of poor medical conditions. If the husband dies not long after the marriage, it is very bad, and the life of the widow is very difficult.

However, the conditions given by the businessman are very generous - Lisa's father will pay for the future medicine expenses...

For this reason, the "Mona Lisa" hesitated. Although she doesn't like that uncle, her father really needs medicine to maintain his life...

Mona Lisa, who was suffering from inner suffering, happened to meet Marin who came out to play...

Marin was worrying about how to kidnap the "Mona Lisa" as a model for Leonardo da Vinci. When he heard about this situation, he shouted for luck...

Lisa's father's medical expenses were nothing to Marin. Moreover, her father's mild lung disease may be cured by two Mongolian doctors...

So he said to Lisa:

"Miss Lisa, I have two genius doctors from the East who may be able to cure your father..."

"Really? Lord Marin, please help me!" "Mona Lisa" immediately smiled when she heard that her father might be cured.

Marin shuddered - it was the taste, it was the recipe! Mona Lisa's smile!

"There's no problem with this. Helping others is my greatest hobby!" Marin said shamelessly.

"only……"

"Just what?" Lisa Giocondo asked.

"I'm going back to China soon, and it's impossible for my two doctors to stay in Milan. In order to facilitate treatment, your father may need to return to my territory with us..."

"But... our family can't afford the travel and expenses to East Frisian..." Lisa Giocondo hesitated immediately.

"It's okay, it's just a small amount of money, I don't care!" Marin said boldly.

Just kidding, if the world famous painting "Mona Lisa" appeared and was collected by Marin, what would it be for a few people and a little money for medical treatment...
