Chapter 542 The Lionheart King’s Plan

After watching everyone leave, Lothar came to Cerinina: "Nina, I'm sorry, Valentina doesn't want to come over."

The afternoon sun is no longer overpowering.

Chelinina relaxed her brows, smiled and shook her head: "Sir, you don't have to apologize. This is something I have expected. After all, Tina's family is still there."

Lothar carefully studied Cellinina's expression and saw that her mood was indeed normal, so she relaxed her brows and said, "As long as you understand."

"Sir, would you like a biscuit?"

"Okay."

Lothar took the chocolate biscuits from the iron box. The long-awaited sweet taste made Lothar feel much happier: "Can I have some more?"

"of course can."

Cellinina handed over the iron box, hesitated for a moment, and then asked: "Sir, how is Texas now?"

While chewing the biscuits, Lothar shook his head and said: "I'm not sure. In Piedmont and Lombardy, it's rare to hear news about the New World. It should still be in the reconstruction period, but don't worry, in a short time, the Wolf Lord should There will be no energy left for a second expedition."

Chelinina asked curiously: "What happened?"

Lothar showed a proud smile: "I killed an inner guard and a whole liquidation team."

"Liquidation team?"

When they were chasing her, the Yaxi family didn't even send such elites.

Cherinina's expression was obviously suspicious, and she immediately reacted: "Miss Lavinia's laws are so powerful?"

Lothar knew that Cherinina had misunderstood something, but she had no idea of ​​explaining it.

After all, the process of him burying an entire liquidation team was completely impossible to replicate in the real world.

That is a method that can only be used as a last resort and when the right time, place and people are indispensable.

"Tomorrow you can try to spar, you, paired with Lavinia, against Jeanne."

Cherinina's eyes brightened slightly: "That's tomorrow too. Sir, why don't you let me see how much progress you have made in the past few days of sleeping?"

Lothar thought for a moment, then nodded in agreement.

He also wanted to see how much his experience in the world of combat records had improved him.

"let's go."

Chelinina, who was following Lothar, suddenly thought of something and asked with interest: "By the way, sir, since you have also made such a big name in the wolf clan, the wolf clan should also have something for you." Nickname?"

Lothar couldn't help laughing and said: "Yes, it's called the Flame Demon Wolf. It's so stupid."

"Actually, sir, judging from the aesthetics of the wolf clan, this name is already quite fashionable."

Lothar was stunned: "Then what was your original nickname?"

Chelinina was silent for a moment and then said: "The invincible man with two swords."

Seeing the smile that quickly widened on Lothar's face, she quickly explained: "That was the nickname I gave when I first debuted. Later, as I completed more and more tasks, people changed my name to Saluzzo's Blue. The nightmare is coming.”

Lothar laughed and said: "The Invincible Dual Sword Man, hahaha, I'm sorry, Nina, I don't want to laugh, but it's really funny."

At the banquet.

Lothar's departure did not dampen the banquet much.

Baron Godfrey, who had just returned from the war and entered the banquet, looked back at Balian, who was following him, and said, "Remember to be respectful to this king. All the nobles in Jerusalem owe him a favor." .”

"I understand, Father."

Balian nodded. He had followed Baldwin IV and served as an attendant for a long time. Naturally, he knew that Baron Godfrey was referring to the "Holy War" that Richard's father left to the Holy Treasury in Jerusalem. Funding".

Godfrey paused and then said: "But you don't have to be too close. You have to understand that we are members of the royal party and Duke Lothar's closest allies."

Balian didn't ask why he had to reject such stupid talk from the other side when he was close to one side.

The two of them looked at the Lion-Hearted King at the banquet. As the protagonist and the undisputed center of the banquet, the Lion-Hearted King carried a noble temperament in his every move, but did not appear to be bossy. Every nobleman who talked to him, They were all flattered by the king's approachability.

It is true that in the eyes of many nobles, the king is just a larger feudal lord, but the Lionheart King is different.

He is the most influential and noble king in Gaul, on par with Philip II, the titular monarch of all Gaul. For Baron Godfrey, who was born in Gaul, he has a different kind of ability. significance.

Baron Godfrey saw someone whispering quietly for a while next to the Lionheart King. The burly monarch immediately strode in front of the two men holding a wine glass. Almost subconsciously, Bellian put his hand on the sword at his waist, with a vigilant expression on his face.

After taking the dragon blood potion, he felt that the person coming was like a tyrannosaurus covered in human skin, and his body contained a noble aura that made him feel scared. This was something he only felt from a few of Lothar's subordinates. The temperament that has been there.

"Don't be nervous, Ser Balian."

There was a spring-like smile on Richard's face: "And Baron Godfrey. It's an honor to see you two in the Holy Land."

Baron Godfrey quickly bowed forward and kissed Richard's finger: "It's an honor to meet you."

Godfrey, who was born in Provence, once had his family's territory not far from Aquitaine.

Richard saw off the last wave of guests with a smile on his face and a blush from alcohol on his face.

These days, there is an endless stream of people coming in and out of the manor where the Lionheart King is staying. Even if you have no intention of seeking refuge with him, you still have to follow the proper etiquette.

The smile on his face gradually faded.

After these guests heard that he had brought only a janissary army to the Holy Land, the enthusiasm on many of their faces immediately faded. Even though he hinted at wooing him, they actually resisted.

A bunch of idiots whose mind is dominated by quantity.

Although there are only a few dozen of his personal guards, they are all elites who have taken magic potion. With them as the vanguard, even a thousand troops can be defeated like a hot knife cutting through butter.

"Martha, how do you feel?"

Behind Richard, a lady wearing a black robe, but still showing her slim silhouette, shook her head and said: "I don't understand, Your Majesty, if you want to compete with the Duke of Lothar, you shouldn't leave Her Majesty the Queen in London. .”

"My brothers are not very peaceful. Only one of the queen and the king can leave my kingdom."

Richard frowned and said, "That's not actually what I want to ask. Martha, what do you think of the Marquis Lothar and the strength of his witches?"

When he said "Marquis", he emphasized his tone.

"It's unfathomable." Martha's voice was full of solemnity. "At the very least, it's impossible for me to deal with them by myself."

"That's it..."

Richard was silent for a moment, and then said: "The power of magic is really fascinating. You would never have imagined that this Lord Marquis was just a country knight six months ago."

Although he didn't show it, deep down in his heart, Richard actually looked down on Lothar.

Just like the vast majority of the Crusader nobles from Gaul, who looked down on the German nobles, Gaul was the center of Europe.

If it weren't for the power of magic, in his opinion, people like Lothar could only be a poor knight working in the fields with farmers in the backcountry.

As for the so-called "miracles" such as the Guardian of the Holy Spear, they are obviously deceptions and forgeries - no one knows magic better than him who married a witch as his queen.

In Albion and Gaul, he and Philip did the same thing. Even some small lords would claim that they were favored by the Father.

He came to the Holy Land to gain prestige, and also wanted to fight some happy battles.

But he has no troops available for the time being.

With only a few dozen Guardsmen, could they attack Alexander directly?

He originally planned to rely on his personal prestige to replace Lothar as the Crusade commander through elections.

But he found that the Marquis of Lothar's position in the Holy Land seemed to be quite secure, and people seemed to be convinced that as long as they followed him, they could regain the Alexander Diocese that had been lost for hundreds of years.

He patted the sword on his waist: "How is Lothar's strength?"

Martha shook her head: "Don't think about it, you are no match for him."

Richard frowned: "I can't even use the Sword in the Stone?"

Martha still shook her head firmly: "In my eyes, what is unfathomable is not only the witches of Marquis Lothar, but also himself. He is by no means an ordinary person. If he takes the potion, no matter how legendary or powerful the demon is, Even medicine cannot produce such a strong person."

Now, it was Richard's turn to be envious again.

"He actually stepped into the extraordinary realm by himself."

"What a lucky boy."

In Europe, there are far more witches than wizards. Even though he has mastered some extraordinary powers by chance, it is either with the help of foreign objects or the power of magic potions, and he is not a true extraordinary person at all. .
