Chapter 127 Vampire

Lothar is a little fuzzy.

Baldwin IV's mellow voice suddenly sounded: "Baron Lothar, you defeated many Saracen cavalry one after another in this battle, and made great achievements."

"Now, under the witness of Heavenly Father and everyone, please kneel before me."

hum-

Lothar clearly heard the dense exclamation from the surrounding nobles.

On such a sacred occasion, it is self-evident what it means for Baldwin IV to make Lothar kneel in front of him.

Are you in a hurry?

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Doubtful in his heart, but without the slightest hesitation, he got off his horse and knelt on the ground on one knee.

Prajna followed closely behind him.

She nodded slightly to Baldwin IV, and it was time to salute.

And Baldwin IV didn't think it was disobedient, and said with a smile: "Ma'am, you also made a lot of contributions in this battle. I am very grateful for your contribution to Jerusalem."

He said, raising his tone.

"Archbishop William, I beg you to bear witness here—I, Baldwin, King of Jerusalem by the will of the Father, bestow the title of Lord of Hebron and Transjordan on Lord Lothar, Lord of Jogrisburg, to As a reward for his bravery in killing the enemy."

"Everyone present is a witness to this canonization ceremony."

"May you protect your people and monarch well in the days to come, and defend the kingdom's territory from the infidels."

Archbishop William was a little caught off guard by this. Fortunately, he had already ordered people to prepare holy anointing oil, which is an ointment mixed with spices such as ambrosia and olive oil.

He put his hand into the clay pot, and while smearing on Lothar's body, he whispered, "Your Majesty, isn't this kind of ceremony too crude?

Fasting, keeping chastity in the church, and praying, I haven’t done too much preparation work. This holy anointing oil was originally intended to be used on those newly canonized knights. "

There are not many counts in the entire Kingdom of Jerusalem.

According to the normal procedure, from the beginning of the ceremony to the end, it would be a normal thing to last for half a month-this includes inviting some lords to watch the ceremony and the time it takes to wait for them to arrive.

Baldwin IV smiled and said, "No, it's certainly not crude."

"Under the witness of many princes, nobles, knights, commoners and priests in Jerusalem, there is no more sacred canonization ceremony than this."

The eyes under Baldwin IV's mask carefully looked at the crowd.

The civilians watched the bustle and began to cheer.

When will we ordinary people witness the birth of an earl?
This is not the period of the Republic of the Empire!

Most of the members of the Knights also showed approval, but the nobles of Jerusalem all had indifferent faces and whispered to each other.

They are very dissatisfied with this, but the big nobles are not in the city at the moment, and they don't have a backbone, so they don't know how to object for a while.

In the team, Amalric originally wanted to stand up and take the lead in opposing, but when he thought about his greed for ink, he hesitated for a while.

In fact, Baldwin IV is also worried about extra trouble.

Although Lothar's feats in this battle are beyond reproach, in the final analysis, this battle is not a hearty victory. In essence, it can only be regarded as a draw.

Moreover, Lothar's age is too young. It takes several generations of accumulation for others to go from baron to earl, but it only took him less than a month.

Baldwin IV is not fully sure that he can persuade everyone to obey his will, so he hopes to create an established fact here.

As for future troubles?

Let's settle down on the legal principles first!
Baldwin IV believes that Lothar has the ability to solve all future troubles and secure the earl's position.

On the second floor next to it.

The lady's tone implied disdain: "Heh, this little king is really in a daze, he actually enshrined the Earl of Transjordan to a brat, doesn't he know that Leonard's territory is the gateway to Jerusalem? "

Her companion guessed: "Maybe it's just an empty title? Moreover, Leonard and Saladin are sworn enemies. No matter how dissatisfied he is, he can't defect to Saladin."

It is not uncommon for the earl to be emptied by powerful vassals under his command.

For example, the Earl of Edessa like George Lin is just as powerful as a Baron of average strength.

And Earl Leonard, as the pioneer of dry land sailing, once reached two holy places of Zoroastrianism in Hejaz.

This is equivalent to slapping all the monarchs of the Zoroastrian world severely. He and Saladin are absolutely immortal.

pop-

Applause rang in the ears of the two of them.

"Hey, turn your head and let me see!"

They looked back subconsciously, only to find a white-haired girl sitting on the table, her legs were shaking slightly, with a playful expression on her face.

"Tsk, I finally saw a vampire in this world. It smells really bad, like an old corpse taken out of a coffin, with a musty smell."

The girl's chuckle was full of sarcasm.

The lady's complexion changed suddenly: "Who are you?"

On the young girls, they smelled an aura that was similar to that of blood races, but had an essential difference.

It's like the difference between a stagnant pool of water and a vast ocean.

The girl jumped down from the table. As she walked, she opened her hand, and the blood magic power brewed in it until it turned into a sharp blood-colored long sword.

"Listen well, I am the chief ruling clan of the Blood Royal Court, Fringila of Tepesh, if you two vampires with evil intentions kneel down and surrender to me immediately, I can spare your lives. "

The girl raised her chin, and her high-spirited tone made the two of them feel a trace of anger.

The noble lady snorted coldly: "What kind of blood court, I have never heard of it!"

"You should be a blood race too, right?"

Two fangs protruded from the corner of her companion's mouth: "As the same race, we don't want to conflict with you. If you leave now, we can pretend that we haven't seen anything."

"Ah, that's not right!"

"Even if I agree...the other one won't agree."

Fringila approached the two of them step by step.

"go!"

The two turned to flee.

But when they turned around, they realized that on the balcony behind them, a female knight with blond hair and shoulders carrying a long spear had blocked their retreat at some point.

Just looking at this woman, their eyes seemed to be looking directly at the sun, they subconsciously narrowed their eyes, and large drops of blood oozed from their eye sockets.

"Damn...damn, such a strong sense of oppression, where did this monster come from?"

A guilty conscience and fear, as if being stared at by an eagle, made both of them panic.

"Heh, standing on a high place, dare to show such obvious killing intent, pretending that we don't exist?"

Jeanna sneered and said, "Tell me who is behind the scenes, and I can give you a good time."

In fact, there is nothing to explain. Even if Lothar guesses with his toes, he can guess who hit him.

It's just that he didn't expect the assassins to come so quickly. It seemed that he wanted to stop Baldwin IV and canonize Lothar as the Earl of Transjordan.

The noble lady and her companion glanced at each other. They didn't expect that besides the witch who was following Lothar, there were actually two more, and they had already noticed their intentions.

run!
Without thinking, the two flew up, trying to escape from the direction of the roof.

But just as he broke through the roof, he was knocked down by a man holding an armed sword made by Zhanmojin with a fist and a sword.

"It's a good thing I was prepared, otherwise I might have let you run away."

Hans had a smile on his face, but the two who were knocked down by him didn't seem to have suffered much damage, and quickly jumped up from the ground.

"Who the hell are you?"

The lady let out a sharp growl.

Jeanna smiled and said, "Let me introduce you two. This is a vampire, the other is a werewolf, and I am a knight of the Holy Church who specializes in dealing with monsters like you."
