People in the Middle Ages, draw cards to get promoted

Chapter 17 Rewards
You killed a werewolf to unlock the milestone: Demon Hunter (kill any three dark creatures including werewolves, vampires, demons, and banshees) [Completed 1/3]

You witnessed a witch, unlock the milestone: Witch Hunter (communicate with more than three witches) [unfinished]

You have successfully won the title of the first champion knight, milestone: champion knight [1/3 completed]

A series of milestone messages flashed through Lothar's mind.

Before obtaining the fiefdom, if you want to get the chance to draw cards, you can only work hard on the milestones.

[Witch Hunter] Don't think about it for the time being, but all witches choose to work for the great lord, and the last one is a prince like Count Leopold.

There are two typical examples above, Richard the Lionheart and Henry the Great Germanian Emperor.

Their eyesight is high.

Besides, Lothar didn't like these witches either.

Although the red-robed witch next to Count Leopold should also be a beauty, but compared with Prajna, she is far behind in reality, and the skin alone is incomparable.

Except for witch hunters.

The two milestones of [Champion Knight] and [Chivalrous Knight] can be considered as soon as possible.

The former still needs to win the title of Champion Knight twice. If there is no chance in Venice, it can be done after arriving in Jerusalem.

The latter is much simpler.

In this era, bandits and bandits are everywhere, especially the nomadic bandits near the Holy Land, they are as numerous as flies.Don't worry about encountering them at all.

The Witcher milestone is a bit more difficult.

After all, it is an extraordinary creature, and it is good at hiding among ordinary people, so it is difficult to identify.

Furthermore, even if the identity of the opponent can be identified, it is still difficult to kill him. Prajna is strong, but the advantage does not lie in lethality and speed.

The smell of incense made him drowsy.

In the evening, compared with the medieval buildings, the bathhouse with the ancient empire style has much better lighting, and the bright moonlight shines on the marble floor from the windows of the dome.

Swah——

The sound of water flow sounded.

Lothar woke up suddenly, and then saw a beautiful maid in gauze, swimming towards him like a mermaid.

"Who are you?"

"I am Your Majesty's head maid, Nazi."

The maid paddled the water and came slowly, with a teasing look on her face: "You seem to be not satisfied with the gift we arranged before, so I can only serve you personally."

Lothar suddenly realized.

It turned out that he hadn't touched the maid who had been arranged to serve at the side, and the head maid came out in person.

He quickly shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, I'm not dissatisfied, but I swore to my heavenly father that I would never get close to a woman until the pagans around the Holy Land are expelled."

"Is that right?"

She couldn't help but look down at the place under the water.

"Exactly!"

Lothar tried to empty his mind so that his blood wouldn't flow.

"You are worthy of being a pious knight of the heavenly father. I offended you."

The head maid stood up, under the gauze soaked in water, everything was beautiful and delicate.

She walked out of the bath slowly, pointed to a stack of clothes by the pool, and said, "Please change into your dress and come with me to meet His Majesty. I will wait for you outside."

Lothar changed into a black slim dress with purple tassels, and followed the head maid to the castle.

Purple is a very valuable dye both in the East and the West, especially in the Western world, except for the wealthy nobles of the Eastern Empire, almost no one can afford to wear purple robes.

Therefore, a small purple tassel has also become an important decoration to show wealth.

The road from the bathhouse to the castle is completely paved with marble slabs, and well-equipped sergeants can be seen patrolling around from time to time along the way.

You know, Lienz is not the residence of Count Leopold, it can only be regarded as a residence, and Vienna is his old nest.

Earl Leopold's wealth can be seen.

At this time, the iron gate of the castle creaked and was pulled open by the winch.

Count Leopold stood at the gate of the city and said to Lothar very kindly: "How about little Lothar, are you satisfied with the gift I prepared?"

Lothar said a little cautiously: "Of course I am satisfied."

"Ha, don't be nervous. I didn't even recognize you at first glance. Back then, I led the army with your father. We are very good friends. I hugged you when you were young. "

Leopold patted Lothar on the shoulder and motioned him to follow.

While walking, he said, "Werner is a rigid old stubborn man. You are his son. It seems that you have been infected with such a problem unknowingly."

"We are very close, there is no need to be so strict."

Lothar smiled and said, "Indeed."

Really good at winning people's hearts.

He did not recall Count Werner speaking of any close friendship with Leopold.

"When are you going to accept my canonization? Heralds and craftsmen are ready to make your own private coat of arms, Baron Linshan of Vienna."

Leopold asked with a smile on his face.

Lothar was a little stunned: "Are you going to make me a baron?"

Leopold said appreciatively: "Of course, but not only the baron, I also plan to let you follow me as a personal knight."

"This is the reward I promised before the competition. I'm not a person who just talks about it."

Lothar hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, your generosity is well known, but when I came out this time, I planned to go to Venice to take a boat to the Holy Land to fight against the heretics. I cannot fulfill my vassal obligations."

The appellation "Your Majesty" is not strictly applied. Many courtiers and servants of the lord will use this to refer to their lords. This is more reflected in the east.

As for Leopold's reward.

It is indeed exciting.

But there is no pie in the sky that falls for no reason. The vassal needs to fulfill his feudal obligations. It is impossible for him to stay in Austria as a little baron.

That means he will probably be a baron in his life.

After all, he has no way to expand around, and can only rely on serving Earl Leopold, hoping that the other party will generously gift him a new fief.

The odds are slim.

Because Leopold himself is an earl, the canonization of a baron is already the top of the sky.

It's not like a certain general surnamed Lu jumped back and killed the lord, then his reputation would be completely stink.

Leopold waved his hand and said: "I know this, but don't rush to refuse. I recently plan to seek to upgrade the Austrian border jurisdiction to the Principality of Austria. If this is done, as long as you perform well. Follow-up , I will consider canonizing you as an earl, alongside your father."

Lothar took a deep breath: "I'm sorry, Your Majesty, I really want to nod and agree to your generous request immediately, but the faith in my heart prevents me from violating the sacred oath."

"Your Majesty, you should also know that I have sworn to defend the Holy Land and fight against heretics."

Leopold frowned, looking colder.

"Little Lothar, do you know what a great grace this is? If it wasn't for your chance to kill Abelardo who was disguised as a werewolf in front of so many people, I'm afraid you will only be a knight for the rest of your life!"

For ordinary knights, this is true.

The vast majority of landless knights died in the process of making contributions.

A considerable part of the rest will be lost in the process of continuing to make contributions, and the other part will be a mediocre life spent as a small lord.

Lothar shook his head and said, "I know, thank you again for your generosity, but please forgive me for not accepting it."

Leopold was silent for a long time, and the strong majesty even gave Lothar a sense of fear.

It seems to be in the student days, submissive in front of the dean.

immediately.

"Hahaha, as expected of Werner's son, he really has the same virtue as him."

The seriousness on Leopold's face disappeared, replaced by a hearty smile: "Don't worry, little Lothar, I am also a devout believer of Heavenly Father, how could I be angry because of your piety?"

"On the contrary, I will subsidize you with a sum of money. After you gain a firm foothold in Jerusalem, you can still write to me. I will send someone to deliver supplies to help you."

Seeing the surprised expression on Lothar's face, he patted Lothar's shoulder again: "In short, I will always have a place for you under my command, waiting for the day you come back from the Holy Land."

Lothar said with a smile: "Thank you very much, but don't you plan to go to the Holy Land to participate in the Eastern Expedition, Your Majesty? Maybe we can fight side by side by then."

"Indeed, I will lead the army to set off after I have settled the affairs of the country, His Majesty the Emperor and His Majesty the Pope. At that time, let me take a good look at your ability to lead troops to fight."

The two exchanged pleasantries for a while, and when the host and guest really enjoyed themselves, they bid farewell to each other.

Leopold, who watched Lothar leave, stood by the torch of the castle and did not speak for a long time.

The red-robed witch came to his side, and said with a smile: "It didn't even succeed in attracting him, heh, with a witch beside him, he is not as pious as he says."

Leopold nodded and said: "Indeed. He is ambitious and capable. It is impossible for ordinary people to defeat a werewolf head-on."

"And Jerusalem, obviously, is his best stage."

"In that city, even a tramp from Paris could one day become a noble lord."

The witch's bright red lips drew a charming arc: "Since you can't use it for yourself, let's form an alliance. It can more or less make up for the loss of the werewolf knight I prepared for you."

Leopold snorted coldly: "Shut up, how dare you say such blasphemous words in front of me, I am at odds with the evil werewolf!"

"Forget it, I have nothing to pretend to be. You are a very pragmatic person. As long as you can help the Babenberg family rise, let alone the power of werewolves, vampires, and demons, you will use it unceremoniously."

The witch's white arm was like a boneless snake, entwined around Leopold's waist: "Don't worry, use it boldly, with me, no one can bite you back."

Leopold grabbed the witch's arm, a trace of fascination flashed across his face, but he quickly regained consciousness: "How strong is the witch next to Lothar? How is it compared to you?"

The witch snorted softly: "Why, are you tempted?"

Leopold shook his head and said: "How is it possible, I just want to use this to judge the potential of Lothar, so that I can consider how much it should cost for investment."

The witch nodded, and said in a deep voice, "I don't know, but it must be very strong, not much worse than those two old women in the Witch's Tower."

"I understand."

"came back."

Banruo sat on a chair in the hotel, and only raised his head slightly when he heard Lothar come in.

"Thank you so much for today."

"You are Welcome."

Banruo shook his head, looked Lothar up and down, his nose twitched slightly, and his slightly wrinkled crescent eyebrows stretched—there was no such strange smell.

Lothar hesitated for a moment, and asked, "Hannao, if I really can't beat Abelardo during the day, will you make a move?"

Banruo lowered his eyes and did not reply.

If Lothar failed to use his talent to fight back in the end, she would still make a move at a critical moment.

Rules belong to rules.

Breaking the rules will make it difficult for Lothar in the future, but only if there is a future.

But she would not say such words. Without the tempering of life and death, she always has the mentality of "Prajna will save me". Lothar will never grow into the lord she admires.

Seeing that Prajna was silent, Lothar said thoughtfully: "I understand."
