People in the Middle Ages, draw cards to get promoted

Facts have proved that the defense of the dragon scale armor is really strong!

To put it bluntly, it is made of belly leather that is flexible, seemingly soft, but actually has an excellent protective effect on sharp objects, and is decorated with a layer of dragon scales strung with iron wire.

It weighs only ten kilograms, but its defense is at least three times stronger than plate armor.

Even if the armor is loose or lifted, the dragon skin underneath can still provide a strong defense.

Lothar went all out and used a very sharp and shining cross sword, but it only left a white mark on the armor.

Probably after some kind of quenching process, the defensive power of a single scale of the dragon scale armor not only did not become weak due to the death of the ground dragon, but its strength was even stronger than that of his life.

Sure enough, he is indeed the chief master craftsman of the Poly Federation!
"It's my turn!"

Jeanna took out the Holy Spear, eager to try it.

Lothar took two steps back subconsciously, and he said solemnly: "The dragon scale armor is so precious, how can it let you directly mount the holy spear, what if it is damaged?"

"You have to know that the piercing and installation of the armor on the dragon scale armor are time-consuming and labor-intensive processes because of the hardness and toughness of the material itself."

He explained solemnly: "Jeanna, you must respect the fruits of Marles' labor."

"Hey, my lord, aren't you afraid?"

Jeanna raised her eyebrows and laughed.

Lothar snorted softly and said, "I have the 'cast iron body' and the Prajna talent 'hard stone'. In terms of defense, I am stronger than you. How could I be afraid?"

Jeanna thought about it for a while, and thought it made sense.

But I was still dissatisfied: "I always feel that I was beaten for nothing by you, and I haven't had a chance to get back."

"You narrow-minded woman, you care so much about me, are you naive?"

Lothar looked at Rianna, and thought of the scene when he was a child and his friends, you hit me, I hit you, and you had to shout "Ping".

Jeanna rolled her eyes and said in a low voice: "No matter what you say, I still feel bad and want to call back."

...

The gold and silver utensils and porcelain antiques copied from Rahman's house can be exchanged for at least [-] Suledes, and real estate such as real estate and manors are even more immeasurable.

As soon as the money fell into Lothar's hands, he had to be prepared to spend part of it.

The venue for the banquet, the knights' arena, and the hunting grounds all had to start intensive preparations.

Although it doesn't matter if it is simpler, this is the first banquet he held after taking office. Even if it can't be called extravagant, at least it is passable.

As for why you want to build a hunting ground?

The reason is very simple. Noble gentlemen can't smear animal excrement on their bodies like those hired hunters, can they climb mountains and climb trees to catch prey?
He must be sitting on a plush chair with a wine glass.

Wait for the servants or the knights under them to ride their horses and gather the beasts together, and then Shi Shi ran to catch the prey with a spear or a bow.

There must be bards during the banquet, and good food and wine will add to the fun.

There is a detailed description of this in The Song of Winter and Hot Summer - thinking about it, should I continue to launch "Song of Winter and Hot Summer", as well as the next few parts of the "Witcher" series?

Lothar thought for a moment.

I feel that this matter can't be delayed any longer. Although I don't make money by selling books, I can have more reasons to prepare to create a new card group for sale when I publish a new book.

The monster deck has been basically perfected, but Lothar thinks that this deck belongs to the "evil way of playing", which is too shocking, so it is better to put it aside for the time being and create an Eastern Empire deck.

Part of the remaining coins went to Lothar's small treasury, and the other part was directly handed over to Mueller, who was going to let his shipyard help him build a coastal defense fleet and recruit sailors.

There are also farmers and soldiers. Lothar has also made up his mind to carry out standing military reorganization, and their land in Alandele can be handed over to tenants for farming.

Because at present, he really lacks military strength under his command.

The defense strength of the Bishopric of Alandele is seriously insufficient, and this may be improved when some of the Redemption Orders under Uldin's hands move over.

But right now, the peasants and soldiers can foresee that it will be impossible to disarm and return to the fields for a long time, and the cost will not be saved much because Lothar is unwilling to give them the title of "standing army".

If that's the case, it's better to just settle down directly.

Although this will bring serious financial pressure to Lothar, it is really not possible. Isn't there Muller, the loyal imperial knight, who is behind it?
Although this big businessman is limited by his vision, strength, and courage.

But after so many years of accumulation, the wealth accumulated under his hands will only be more, not less, than the wealth accumulated by Rahman who relies on squeezing the bottom people and farms.

Return to the mansion in the city.

Lothar walked into the inner house and heard chatter and laughter coming from a room inside. He couldn't help but probe in and take a look, and found that Fringila was still "talking on the phone" with the witch Anna.

"Sir, you are here."

Fringila heard the movement and beckoned Lothar to come in: "Miss Anna promised to give you a meditation book, and asked when you plan to ask for it, and she will send someone from the association to bring it to you."

Lothar came closer and said, "Thank you so much, Miss Anna."

In the coat of arms, Anna's slightly mocking laughter came out: "It's nothing, but I advise you not to have too much expectation, the talent of the wizard in meditation is already inferior to that of the witch, and you are a secular Lord, the time you can spare to meditate every day is limited, and it is difficult to make a big improvement."

"It's okay, I'm just trying."

He also tried Furingilla's meditation method, and the effect was really mediocre—to be exact, he didn't feel any effect at all.

At that time, he felt that it would be more suitable for him to exercise in the martial arts arena. At least, when he first crossed over, his attributes improved during exercise.

It's just that as his attributes gradually strengthened, the current regular exercise has become very limited in improving him.

"Oh, by the way, Miss Anna, I have now opened the mouth of the Red Sea, where pagan pirates are rampant, why don't you give me your recipe for Greek fire?"

Lothar opened his mouth and came.

On the other side of the coat of arms, Anna, the witch in the Constantinople palace, couldn't help showing a grinning expression.

This Lothar is simply shameless!

"If you are sick, treat the disease, don't say some crazy things here."

Although Lothar knew this was the result, he still tried to say: "What do you need, I can exchange it for you. Anyway, I only have one ship under my hand now, and I don't even have sailors. I just want to use the Greek fire." To deal with pirates, it is impossible to pose a threat to the sea power of your Eastern Empire."

"Don't even think about it, this is the secret of our imperial people!"

Anna changed the subject: "If you are really worried about pirates, why don't you let me take my young sea dragon to your territory for a while? Even though it is still young, it is not a problem to sink a few pirate ships."

"I can't afford your appearance fee."

Lothar chatted with Anna again, and then left the room. Greek fire just casually said that it was the most important secret recipe of the Eastern Empire Navy.

Even if it can be exchanged, the price paid is probably enough for Lothar to summon the Norwegian Kraken after Captain Hogg became an elite.

Speaking of which, can the Kraken beat an adult sea dragon?

"I don't know if Captain Hogg's Norse Kraken can reproduce. According to legends in this world, there are many Norse monsters living in Northern Europe."

Lothar touched the stubble on his chin, and felt that there was a high probability that he couldn't do it.

Because of the curse, both Captain Hogg and the Norwegian troll have been undead. This certainly gave them the powerful characteristics of the undead, but it also lost a lot.

For example, Captain Hoag never needed to eat or drink - because he lost even his sense of taste.

Go into the next room.

Banruo is crouching in front of the desk, writing something earnestly.

Hearing the movement, she asked without looking back, "Where did you go?"

"I went out for a trip and tested the new armor sent by Marles."

Lothar came behind her, and glanced at her black hair, the faintly visible white shoulders, and along the collarbone, a deep gully could be seen.

He was a little engrossed in watching, and could smell a faint fragrance from the tip of his nose, for a moment he forgot what he wanted to say.

"Does it look good?"

Banruo raised her head slightly, and the gap between the slender neck and the shirt became wider.

"nice."

Lothar said subconsciously.

Facing Shang Banruo's indifferent eyes, he couldn't help but feel a little guilty: "How is the preparation of the new book? I mean the song of winter and hot summer and the witcher, not your own book."

Banruo is so serious about his original novel that it can be said to be strict, and revises it word by word.

"I should be able to write a copy in three days if you want."

Lothar looked at her understatement, and couldn't help laughing: "What about your book, when do you plan to finish writing it?"

Banruo frowned: "It may never be finished. What I enjoy is the process, rather than thinking that one day I will finish writing and sell it for people to taste."

Lothar nodded and said, "Well—that's right."

Banruo looked indifferent, thinking, there are too many private contents in those manuscripts, if others see it, she might have the urge to kill and silence her.

At the very least, Fringira will definitely laugh at herself for the rest of her life.

That can't be done, it's only for her to laugh at Flynn, and she must not change the position of offense and defense!
