Chapter 81 New Milestone

In today's Western European world, even the collections of some larger seminaries often do not exceed the number of one hundred volumes.

The Royal Library in Constantinople had a collection of more than 500 books as early as [-] years ago.

We must know that at that time, papermaking had not yet been introduced, and papyrus from Egypt, expensive parchment and silk were often used in book collections.

In the Western world, today, the only library that can be compared with the Royal Library of Constantinople is the Cairo Library of the Ayyubid Kingdom.

"The collection of books in Constantinople, as well as the form of exchanging resources and information through contributions, I have to admit that this is indeed very attractive."

Lothar shook his head and said, "But it is impossible for me to abandon my title and territory and run to Constantinople with you. The identity of a wizard is only a small part to me."

"It doesn't matter, we can first establish a cooperative relationship, and then cultivate mutual trust bit by bit. The Levant Witches Association is not an organization that is eager for quick success."

Anna smiled and said: "We all know that Henry Caesar's perverse actions will not succeed."

"Because there is no wizard who is willing to be driven by people like a hawk. I know this very well, so our Levantine Witch Association is more inclined to cooperate than to control."

"If you want higher-level spellbooks, rarer spell-casting materials, and potion formulas, there will naturally be Basilisa, who is rich in the world, spending a lot of money to buy them for you, but the premise is that you have to exchange them with contributions."

"Equivalent exchange is our principle."

Witch Anna's face was calm.

She very much hopes that Lothar can join the association, because having a wizard with outstanding appearance can attract other witches for the association and increase a lot of bargaining chips.

blah——

The hoofbeats of the patrol gradually approached.

Anna smiled and lifted the corner of her skirt, and gave a lady's salute: "The conversation went well this time. I will visit again later. I hope that by then, our meeting will be accompanied by sweet wine and barbecue." , instead of standing on the street and being exposed to the sun like now."

"Oh, that's right. I have to tell you in advance, don't put the magic gold around, I can smell the smell of that thing, if I feel threatened, this meeting can only be declared over."

Anna turned around, and her figure gradually turned into black mist and dissipated.

quite cautious
That is to say, the threat of the Devil's Gold to witches should be greater than I imagined.

Lothar was thoughtful: "Uldin, do you think this witch named Anna is reliable?"

Uldin thought for a moment, then shook his head and said, "I don't know, but I can't think of any reason for her to deceive you. Moreover, I believe that as long as you restrain your greed, you will never pay the price in advance until you see the equivalent income. , you will never be deceived.”

"Your sentence can be summed up in a proverb, if you don't see a rabbit, you won't scatter an eagle."

"In short, it is definitely a good thing to have one more channel, whether it is to obtain intelligence or knowledge."

Lothar nodded, he is not an orthodox spellcaster.

Although he shared Fringilla's talent, he still knew what it was, but didn't know why.

The collection of books in Constantinople was a great temptation not only to him, but also to Fringila.

But he won't let it stop him.

The identity of a feudal lord is his foundation.

He also doesn't have much energy, so he is bored in the library all day long, studying those ancient classics that are boring and don't know which language they are written in.

...

Return to the main hall of the resident.

Lothar handed the reins to Ryan who came up: "Send a team to support Ulm. I gave him a task. If you find out, you must report back in time, and don't make any claims."

"My lord, I'll take care of things, don't worry."

Ryan immediately took orders to leave.

He could feel that he was gradually being removed from the inner circle of his lord, which made him more eager to make meritorious deeds and was awarded the title of knight by Lothar.

Lothar then ordered to the inspector: "Richard, take Uldin to take a bath and wash up. I have to take him to see His Majesty the King later. He must not still be sweaty."

As soon as he entered the door, Lothar saw Furingilla, wearing a long black silk dress, proudly showing off in front of Prajna.

Although the latter didn't care about her, he just changed the angle and continued to immerse himself in the plot of the novel.

Judging by her seriousness, no one would believe her if she said that she was not reading some literary classics, but Lothar's cool version of fantasy novels with a lot of material.

"Ah, you're back!"

Fringila bounced up to Lothar, lifted the hem of the skirt, and turned around: "Look at the pattern on it, I embroidered it myself. How is it? Does it look good?"

Today, she combed her long white hair into twin ponytails, with soft bangs covering her forehead.

The slender body, revealing the pale, bloodless skin, makes people feel a sense of pity.

"Well--"

If you look carefully, the black silk dress she is wearing has a pattern similar to that of a puppy.

Lothar looked at it for a moment. Although it was difficult to understand why the "dog" was "embroidered" on the skirt, he still showed an expression of approval: "It's amazing, it's so lifelike."

He very cunningly omitted "your dog is lifelike" and replaced it with "lifelike".

Sure enough, Fringila said with a proud face: "The pattern on it is the gargoyle emblem of our blood court, the Tepesh royal family, and only the royal family can use it."

It turned out to be a gargoyle.

I feel that with Fringilla's personality, she doesn't seem like the kind who likes small animals.

Lothar let out a sigh of relief, feeling like he was working hard with a child.

Fringila circled around Lothar, but suddenly seemed to think of something, with a suspicious look on her face, she moved to Lothar's side, and sniffed.

Lothar held her head.

"Don't be like a puppy?"

Fringila asked in surprise: "You have a magical aura, someone put a tracking spell on you, who did you meet?"

"A witch who claims to be the royal advisor to the Empress of the Eastern Empire."

"Flynn, are you sure it's just a tracking spell? There are no other negative effects?"

Fulingira shook her head: "It's a very simple curse seal, and the magic power inside is also very gentle. Do you want me to remove it for you?"

"Then don't clear it up for the time being. That witch regards me as a spellcaster in this world, and wants me to join their assembly. I will visit again tonight."

Fringila said a little excitedly: "I have long wanted to meet the spellcasters of this world, but unfortunately I have never had the opportunity before. It would be even better if I could taste the blood of magic power flowing in their bodies."

At this time, the system prompt sounded in Lothar's ear at the right time:
You have activated the following milestones:
Wizards' Gathering: You have joined a secret society of at least ten wizards. (undone)
Lord of Evil: Under your command, at least five dark creatures serve. (3/5)

Holy Apostle: Under your command, at least five priests serve. (1/5)

Lothar only glanced at the three milestones and ignored the latter.

It has nothing to do with him as to what character is drawn. No matter how hard he tries, it will not increase the progress of the latter two. It all depends on God's will.

Although "God's will" looks like, he is definitely an "evil lord".

On the contrary, the milestone of the wizard assembly can be easily completed. It seems that it is imperative to join the Levantine Witch Association that the witch Anna said.

In addition, the milestone of the model territory is almost completed.

This is due to the fact that Lothar temporarily exempted various villages from taxes during this period, and also lent a lot of farm tools and seeds for repayment, enough to make nearly 1000 people in the territory have enough food and clothing.

But the fact that the [-] wealthy population stumped Lothar.

You can't send money directly, can you?

...

Under the service of the maid, Lothar put on a silk dress after bathing and walked out of the hall.

Uldin still had that old-fashioned look on his face, standing under the scorching sun without saying a word, and he didn't know how long he waited.

"Wait for a long time?"

"No."

"At least find a shady place next time."

Lothar didn't mean to let Uldin go in and wait, because he knew very well that it was more difficult for a person like Uldin to be in the same room with vampires and ghosts than to kill him.

"Come on, let's go to the king."

Uldin said in a deep voice: "I am honored, I have also heard the legend of this leprosy king. Although this world is a different world, I am still very much looking forward to seeing the demeanor of this king with my own eyes."
