In the Middle Ages, people drew cards to be promoted to nobility.

The melodious howl of the wolf, the sorrow lasts for a long time.

When Lothar heard the noise and came over, Hans had already put on all the equipment he had taken off.

He picked up the bent armed sword on the ground with a look of distress on his face.

Although the quality has jumped to five stars, the armed sword that accompanied him to this world has not been improved and is still just an ordinary weapon.

"Don't feel bad, I will let Mallus reforge a sword for you."

Lothar came to the werewolf corpse and was a little amazed at the size of the wolf corpse. He raised his head, stared at Hans, and asked, "Did you kill him?"

"Um."

Hans's face showed a complex expression of both expecting to be praised and afraid of being blamed.

After all, he is still a child.

Lothar sighed inwardly, but with a serious expression on his face: "Next time, remember to notify us in advance and don't act rashly. Your own safety is the most important thing."

Hans scratched his head in embarrassment: "Sorry, sir, I was a little reckless this time. But I just want to find out how the werewolves in this world fight. You know, I am not born and raised here. The Two Sicilian Wolf Clan has no inheritance of how werewolves should fight."

"Besides, it's not convenient to transform."

Lothar nodded: "It is indeed excusable."

The Hussars are 100% loyal to Lothar.

But Lothar's current subordinates are not all winged cavalry.

Hans pointed to the body of the black werewolf and sighed: "This is a poor guy. I heard his confession. On a full moon night, he couldn't control the wildness of the werewolf and killed his wife and son." . When he woke up, he found the scattered bodies of his wife and children lying at his feet. You can imagine how painful this was."

"He tried to seek salvation in the Holy Land, but unfortunately the Heavenly Father did not respond to him. In front of this pagan temple, he asked for help with the wrong gestures, and naturally he would not receive a response."

"A poor man indeed."

Lothar sighed, it was hateful for werewolves to eat people.

But the werewolves in this world are also cursed people. Many times their evil deeds are out of their control, which makes them seem a bit pitiful.

But pity is pity, if you encounter it again, you will still be killed.

Hans said with some regret:

"Sir, if he could control his wild nature, I would have wanted to recruit him for you. Such a huge werewolf would be an invincible chariot on the battlefield."

Lothar shook his head and said: "The werewolves in this world are very bloodthirsty. I dare not recruit them as subordinates, otherwise I will be expelled from the church the next day. Someone, bring this werewolf's body back."

He planned to bring this wolf corpse back to Fringilla for research.

According to many legends in this world, anyone who is bitten by a werewolf will be infected and become a new werewolf, but Lothar feels that this statement is not reliable.

If werewolves were really as contagious as zombies, they would have become a disaster long ago.

At this time, there was a sound of footsteps in the distance.

The group of people holding lanterns slowly walked this way.

They were dressed in obvious alien attire, and a well-informed wing cavalry whispered: "They are Turks. Count Leonard hired such a team. It seems to be called Ghazi Warriors."

Turks?

Lothar frowned.

Most of the Turkic tribes that continued to move westward surrendered to the Sasanian king.

With a wave of his hand, the Sasanian king granted them Asia Minor, which did not belong to them, as pasture.

And the Turks live up to their reputation as brave. Over the years, they have continued to expand their power in Asia Minor, squeezing the power of the Eastern Empire down to only Nicaea and other coastal cities.

In other words, the Turkic forces are often located in Asia Minor, not the Levant (in a narrow sense, only refers to the eastern coast of the Mediterranean). How come they came to Jerusalem?

The leader was a Turkic man dressed as a noble.

He asked in half-baked Gallic: "What's going on? I seem to hear a wolf howling. Has a wild wolf broken into the city?"

Lothar winked at Ulm, who immediately understood, took two steps forward on his horse, and said sternly:

"Stop, don't come any closer. This is Lothar, the grand leader of the Royal Knights. Heretic, return to your house immediately, otherwise we will identify you as a suspicious person."

A Ghazi warrior drew his straight sword and said angrily: "You bastard! How dare you be so rude to my master!"

The hussars behind Lothar also immediately drew their swords.

The Turkic noble quickly waved his hand and said: "Don't get me wrong, I have no ill intentions, I'm just worried that evil wolves will break into the city and threaten our own safety."

Lothar said loudly: "You don't need to worry about the security issues in Jerusalem. Jerusalem has issued a ban. Please return to your house immediately."

The Turkic nobles stopped entangled and said simply: "Okay, I understand. Please don't misunderstand our purpose. Let's leave now!"

The Turkic nobles who walked away looked gloomy.

"Prince Jendal, shall we take action?"

"Don't be impatient!"

The Turkic nobleman known as Prince Jandar showed a trace of greed in his eyes: "I didn't expect that there would be a werewolf in this holy land of pagans. It's a pity, how to get it from the hands of these Franks?" His body was stolen."

Not all Turks have converted to Zoroastrianism. Every nation has a group of stubborn conservatives. For example, a considerable number of Turks who migrated westward still cling to the shamanic belief in the Immortal God.

And Prince Jendal is one of them.

In shamanism, there is an ancient technique that can inject the essence and blood of beasts into the bodies of warriors to create a group of beast-blooded warriors. This is why Prince Jendal wants to obtain the werewolf corpses.

Watch the group leave.

Hans said: "There is something wrong with these Turks."

Lothar nodded and said: "Indeed, his eyes couldn't help but glance at the body of the black werewolf. If the nerves of the heretics in Jerusalem hadn't been too tense, I would have ignored them and killed them first. Just imprison him."

The reason why Jerusalem still thrived after the brutal massacre by the Crusaders was closely related to its inclusiveness.

Baldwin IV was also committed to maintaining the peaceful development of relations between believers of the two religions.

As a royal party member, it is impossible for him to do things like Count Leonard, who attacked pagan caravans for no reason, or even robbed and killed nobles.

…

Early the next morning.

The news that the Royal Knights had killed a werewolf quickly spread throughout Jerusalem.

Last night, the terrifying wolf howl was so penetrating that it resounded through almost half of Jerusalem. Many people still remembered it fresh after waking up during the day.

Lothar is waiting. Perhaps not long after, Archbishop William will come to visit in person. On the one hand, he will verify the authenticity of this matter. On the other hand, he will probably ask for the werewolf's body.

The body may then be burned in public and a pageant held to inspire people.

at this time.

Fringilla was standing at the highest point of the palace castle tower. She seemed to be violating the rules of gravity, walking on the outer wall of the tower, which made Lothar feel terrified.

"Silly man, can you give me and the adults some space to be alone?"

"It is my duty to protect you, sir."

"Yesterday, you didn't follow the adults all the time!"

Prajna frowned, realizing that he couldn't argue, so he simply chose to remain silent as he always did.

Fringilla said angrily: "You are a cunning woman. When you hear words that don't suit your mind, you choose to pretend to be deaf and dumb."

Lothar stood up as a mediator at this time: "Most of the trophies obtained from the bandits have been transported to Jerusalem. The damaged ordnance and armor were sold at a good price when there was a shortage of ordnance in Jerusalem."

"With this money, I plan to purchase several workshops."

Fringilla was a little surprised: "My lord, are you sure you can defend Jerusalem? If the city is destroyed, won't your workshop also be destroyed?"

"Just because the war is approaching, many workshops and shops run by pagans are on sale at low prices. Once I buy the workshop, I won't start working on it immediately. I just plan to take over the skilled workers."

Lothar planned to develop engraving printing technology and use it to print theological classics. With improved papermaking technology, he would not have to worry about sales in Jerusalem, which has a strong theological atmosphere.

Although many people at the bottom are illiterate, it is also good to use them as souvenirs.

In addition, the improvement of dyes is also quite simple.

Thanks to the development of short videos in his previous life, Lothar knew many ways to improve dyes, such as using grape skins to dye expensive purple cloth.

The reason why today's purple dye is expensive is that dyers use a dye made from the juice secreted by the glands of shellfish, which is extremely rare.

It's just that this thing is too profitable. Lothar thought for a long time and decided to keep it in his mind before he became the king.

In his world, the King of France dared to eradicate the Knights Templar, whose coat of arms was marked by homosexuality.

It is enough to see that wealth without strong armed protection is equivalent to my neighbor hoarding guns and I hoarding food, and I may make wedding clothes for others at any time.

In fact, Lothar didn't want to perform the duties of the grand leader and work all day long while thinking about making money.

There is no way, Yogurtsburg is too barren. The only special products are dates and other crops. The yield is not high, and it is not enough to exchange for food to fill the stomachs of all the people in the territory.

Of course, the iron mine discovered by Malus could be considered a good industry if developed.

It's just that all of this has to be compromised for the sake of war.
