Chapter 648 Candle Knight

The excitement quickly faded.

A six-star rating doesn't mean anything.

If it is not elite, ordinary six-star combat power cannot be considered the main combat power at this stage, unless it is an auxiliary profession with a percentage gain, or has a powerful talent suitable for sharing with oneself.

He would feel surprised purely because the probability was so small.

It's like pie in the sky.

Whether or not one has this thing is no longer a big deal.

Losa suddenly thought of something and called out to Cherinina.

Under her puzzled gaze, Lothar took out a pendant. On the silver necklace was inlaid a sky-blue crystal filled with magic power, on which flickering magic runes could be vaguely seen - it was the guardian pendant that had just been extracted.

Cherinina's tone was a little hesitant: "What is this?"

"For you."

Losa paused and said jokingly, "Could it be that I am the kind of person who will take it out to show you how pretty it is and then put it away myself?"

"No, of course not."

Cherinina felt a little embarrassed. She really thought so. What if this necklace was just a gift given by Losa to ask her if she was pretty or not, and it was intended to be given to someone else? If she directly asked "Is it for me?" and got a negative answer, it would be too embarrassing.

Losa didn't think so much.

Cherinina is a fragile assassin. Although it is difficult for her to be hit by the enemy, once she is hit hard, the most likely thing to happen is an assassin like her who walks on the edge of a knife.

"It can save lives in critical moments. When you return, remember to test the limit of the damage this necklace's shield can withstand with Fulin."

Losa gave a warning.

This necklace is of extraordinary quality. Although the shield it holds up cannot be called invincible, as long as it can block it, with Cherinina's reaction speed, it will be easy to dodge the next attack.

Just like Solid Stone, although it is only a defensive talent, in Lothar's hands, it has always been a trump card to die together with the enemy, and sometimes the effect it can produce is much better than offensive talents.

Cherinina, however, was not sure what she was thinking. She put the necklace in her hand and nodded absentmindedly.

As the knights took down the double-headed eagle flag on the castle, this guard castle of the city of Semanud was also abandoned by Lothar.

There are quite a few skilled spellcasters in Saladin's spellcaster advisory group headed by Shemail. After this guy got a set of magical weapons, the power he displayed became more and more extraordinary. It is too difficult to defend an ordinary castle without a transcendent person in charge.

After meeting up with Jeanna and the others who were lying in ambush in the rear and ready to strike at any time, the group set out on their journey home.

Hans suddenly rode up to Lothar and said, "Sir, the Saracen general captured by Lady Cherylina wants to see you."

"okay, I get it."

In the prisoner car, Majid saw the iconic figure riding on the giant horse. He subconsciously raised his hand and touched his chest and praised: "It is an honor to meet you, the great Crusader and King of the Eastern Franks."

Losa walked slowly towards him with a smile on his face, but did not correct the other person's address.

"Tell me, what do you want to do with me?"

Majid looked around at the prisoners and said respectfully, "I hope you can let me and my soldiers return to Fayoum. I promise to pay a large ransom as soon as I return."

The smile on Losa's face faded: "Do you think I will agree?"

"Your Excellency, the King of the Eastern Franks, the Holy Son of the Cross."

It seemed that he felt that Losa's smile just now was a sign that he was very happy to hear such flattery. Even though the conversation was very tedious, he still said: "Your magnanimity and integrity are known even to pagans."

"Okay, let's talk about something practical."

Losa waved his hand. Although he sometimes liked fame, that was because in the Christian world, fame could be transformed into actual benefits. In many cases, the word "fame" was more appropriately translated as "reputation".

Forget the pagan flattery.

Lothar was well aware of how bad his image was in the eyes of these pagan lords.

"I regret being your enemy. Adil deceived me. If you let me go, I will persuade my colleagues who have a good relationship with me to give up being your enemy and even obey your rule over Egypt."

Majid chose his words carefully. He guaranteed that any jihadist who came to respond to Jihad had never imagined that his enemy possessed such terrifying power.

Losa narrowed his eyes slightly, and his intuition told him that Majid was not lying.

This guy seems to have a lot of resentment towards Adil. Does he think that he has become a discarded pawn thrown out by Adil to explore the way?
But Losa still did not easily agree to his request. Instead, he changed the subject and said lightly, "To put it bluntly, you plan to remain neutral before Adil and I decide the winner? Do you think that I care whose side you stand on, given the forces you can persuade?"

Majid had a wry smile on his face.

He really didn't want to be an enemy of someone like Losa.

But not daring to be an enemy of Lothar does not mean that he dares to betray Adil. The spellcasters on Adil's side seem to be slightly weaker than those on this side, but it is still easy to deal with him. After so many years, he, the governor of Fayum, still feels like he is trying to survive in the cracks.

Lothar ordered the guards on both sides: "Remove the chains of our Fayoum governor, give him a slightly better package of food and lodging, and put it all on his account."

He then added: "The ransom must not be less than a penny. I will let you go when you deliver it. If I have defeated Adil before then, there is no need to pay the ransom. I will go and get it myself. Then, you can only work in the mines."

After saying this, Losa turned and left.

Most of the Christian slaves in the mines had been liberated by him, but in this era when productivity was not well developed, slaves were necessary for mining. Without Christian slaves, he could only rely on Saracen slaves.

Besides, he is short of money right now.

Every time he saw the shocking deficit in the financial report, he had the urge to plunder all the wealth of the rich in the newly occupied territories.

When he returned to the mansion, Lothar actually opened the newly acquired follower card.

You gain a new follower.

Name: Vivienne von Hohenzollern
Title: Candle Knight
Occupation: Magic Swordsman
Quality: Legendary (six stars)
Rating: 1
Intimacy: Cold
Power: 20
Agility: 31
Stamina: 22
Stamina: 15
Mental Power: 55
Talent: [Swift Shadow Sword] In her early years, the Candle Knight traveled to England, Italy, and Germany, challenging sword masters from various places. She returned to Berlin at the age of 21 and created this skill. With her unique light and shadow techniques, few people can tell which of the sword lights she wields is real and which is fake.

Traditional swordsmanship masters criticized her for using impure sword skills, but in most cases, this did not damage her reputation. It just made her lose the possibility of establishing her own school and passing down this sword art.

[Magic Warrior] The fighting style of the Candle Knight is a typical magic swordsman style, but the Candle Knight is different from those half-baked ones. She is the one who truly masters the essence of the magic swordsman. As long as she wants, she can draw on the spiritual power attribute at any time and add it to any attribute. (Only one at a time)
[Mental Shield] Candle Knight never wears heavy armor in combat. Her combat uniform is thin, breathable, and more suitable for conducting magic. However, it would be a big mistake to think that Candle Knight's defense is her shortcoming compared to those iron cans.

Candle Knight can replace mental resistance with physical resistance.

Skills: [Lighting Candles] The name of the Candle Knight comes from the secret art of lighting candles passed down by the Hohenzollern family. When she fights, she will not only use her swift swordsmanship, but also use the magic candle attached to the sword to perform the art of fire.

[Candle Burns and Shadows Go Out] (Unlocked in Elite Stage 1)

[Candle Flickering] (Unlocked in Elite Stage 2)
Description: If you ask who is the greatest knight in the world today, the Gallic roosters will proudly say "Knight of Distinction". Knight of Distinction is the greatest knight in France and naturally the greatest knight in the world.

But if viewed from the perspective of the Germans, the answer may be debatable.

Among them, the one who appears most frequently must be the Candle Knight, whose appearance and martial arts are impeccable.

The Candle Knight from the Order of the Rose is the eldest daughter of Elector Frederick of Brandenburg. She showed unparalleled talent in swordsmanship when she was a girl. Since she was sixteen, she has defeated countless great swordsmen who are famous in Europe.

At the age of 19, he won the title of champion knight of the Aachen Knight Competition and was hailed as the Flower of Germany.

In order to nominate a soul character to compete with the British Lantern Goddess and the French Knight of Radiance, the German Emperor of Habsburg was not stingy in his appreciation for the Candle Knight and became her strongest supporter.

However, many people scoffed at this. They believed that a young female knight who had not accomplished any great achievements was nothing more than a vase that was praised for her pretty face. She was not qualified to be compared with these two.

Lothar looked at the character on the card... Well, she was indeed pretty, with long platinum hair, a stag-style hood, and a black and white slim-fitting battle suit. Judging from her appearance alone, even though Lothar was used to seeing beautiful women, he still felt stunned.

But she doesn't look like she can fight very well, so it's understandable that she is seen as a vase.

Who would wear this kind of armor as a serious warrior? When Jeanna went into battle to kill the enemy, she also wore full plate armor, but at most the chest and waist parts were different in shape from ordinary plate armor.

But he knew very well that this Candle Knight was definitely not a pretty face. A six-star attendant who could be on par with the Glory Knight, even if there was some water in his reputation, he was still a powerful six-star.

It’s a pity that she is not a supporting talent like Lavinia.

He doesn't have any combat records now, so he can't become an elite six-star combat-type. The role he can play may not be as good as Prajna - but the Candle Knight's talent "Magic Swordsman" is very suitable for him.

Just as he was about to summon the Candle Knight, he suddenly felt something and stopped what he was doing.
