"Grandfather, have you seen any other dragons?"

"I haven't seen it, but when I was young and drinking with a monarch who loved to look for strange creatures, I heard him mention that dragons come in several forms, black, green, red, white, etc.

Except for the white dragon, the other dragons found are all pests in appearance, and their body is not large, the 'black dragon' is three to four times the size of a bat, and the red dragon has a thorny tail and is afraid of water.

The white dragon has the best physique, and there is nothing obvious to fear. ”

After talking about the dragons, Brandi went to see Lady Meghan.

"Nope."

Howard shook his head, "It takes women to stabilize my footing, and I'm ashamed of my ancestors." “

After retiring from his grandfather, Bran went to the manor's "arsenal".

In fact, it is a small house with stone walls and tiled boards.

The chain-locked door opens, revealing the killing weapon.

There were javelins, rusty chain mail, knights' swords, rapiers, plate axes, daggers, short bows, hunting bows, crossbows, square shields, round shields, slings...... It's like a small arsenal.

These things were also brought out by two carriages, and they were added one after another over the years for the great cause of restoring the country.

"How many people can be equipped with these weapons?" Bran asked the treasury men.

"Your Highness, if the number of men in the manor is sufficient, and all the weapons are configured, it can arm about thirty-six people, and among them, there can be six sword-wielding riders, which is already a very good number, quite an extremely wealthy knight or even a barony."

Six sword-wielding riders?

Bran calculates at the price of the current market, not counting training, and just matching a rider with all the equipment, about 400,000 in the previous life.

"Give it to me."

Bran took a "short dagger".

This is a gift to himself when his father "Hansen Charman" ordered the blacksmith to build it, Hansen hopes that Bran can become a brave man, not as weak as himself, every parent hopes that their children can surpass themselves, but most parents do not see this moment, Hansen died early.

Bran took it and put it on his waist, and then went to the cavalry yard (stable), where a small black foal had already been washed and dried, and Bran named it "Haus", which means "docile and precious" in Italian.

I touched it, and my fur was dry.

The servant hung up the saddle, and Bran kicked it, got on his horse beautifully, touched House's head first, and then stuffed a handful of grass, and House shouted in response, took the grass and chewed it.

House was born with Bran's help deliver the baby, and the bloody scene is still impressive, and Bran has only ridden on it, so House is very close to the little master.

When someone else comes to feed, it's great to get a look of gratitude, but when Bran appears, he can excitedly call Xiao for a long time.

"Let's go."

"Drive."

The entourage left Carol, Iron Mountain, and a strong guard with "mercenary experience" to accompany them, and the four of them took the four foals of the manor.

The rider of the guard, called "Jack Sieber", was neither tall nor short, neither thin nor fat, wielding a hoe like a peasant, and holding a hammer like a blacksmith.

The only thing that can be noticed is that after taking off the clothes, there are several long scars of centipedes representing bravery, as well as iron scars on the chest.

Jack has been following Howard, and this time is the first time he has been following Bran.

Bran asked, "I heard from my grandfather that you have been to the Holy City?"

"Yes, Your Highness."

"Tell me how you got there, I ask the priests, and they always have one word for the holy city, praise the Lord."

Jack began to tell his story.

"Born into a family of carpenters in the southernmost part of the peninsula, I joined the army as a mercenary for two meals a day, guarding the trade routes for an earl, but often killing people.

Then I had a nightmare.

Soon after, the Holy See said that he wanted to ask for salvation, so he crossed the pirate-infested Mediterranean Sea and went to Jerusalem, the most important holy place of the Illuminati, to defend the holy city with his life, and then he could be redeemed. ”

Brandau, "The saints rest, this is the best city, and the heresy occupies it, and it is also the worst city." ”

Tie Shan also interjected, "Is there a lot of good food?" Holy City?"

"I just want to eat." Carol gave Iron Mountain a blank look.

Then Jack continued the crusade......

……

The period of the Second Crusade (A.E. 1288-1292).

Over the course of four years, 30,000 crusaders died.

In the summer of A.E. 1292, the Crusaders recaptured the holy city that had been lost for twenty years and drove out the powerful kingdom of the Abbasids in the Arabian Peninsula.

The light is great, and heretics retreat!

But then the new Abbasid Sultan did not give up, and the Holy Land was always at risk of being captured.

Jerusalem was the "companion capital" of the Roman Empire, and the tombs of the three popes and the twelve saints were there.

In order to keep the Holy City forever, the Church recruits "Crusaders" every year and sends the warriors to the Holy City by free sailing, with an average of thousands of people responding every year, but many of them are criminals, who rely on fighting against the infidels to wash away their sins and escape cruel punishment.

The debtors also often participated, because the Holy See had issued a fatwa stating that creditors should not force debts against infidels for two years.

Jack was originally there, so he was assigned to the position of squad leader, in charge of eight people, and was responsible for guarding the security of the designated area of the Holy City on weekdays.

The pagans have a different kind of face from the people of the peninsula, and there is a striking beauty under the veil, and Jack, who wants to ask for ransom, even commits several "violations".

Caught in sin, Jack begins to beat himself with a whip rope.

In the second year, a castle 120 kilometers north of the Holy Land was attacked, and Jack was sent to support by the commander, and after the defeat, he was used as a "slave" by the infidels.

He survived by "converting to heresy" to save his life, and was sold back to Florence on the peninsula.

At this time, his body was full of stench, thin skin and bones, and the wound was pus, and if he was not bought, then the owner would dispose of it directly - and throw it to the suburbs when he still had a breath left.

Injack's father, an immigrant from the northern island of Venice, bought it when his "gracious accent" was heard by Howard, who was passing through the labor market.

After two and a half years in the manor, Jack is now twenty-five years old, and his experience as a squad leader has enabled him to draw a bow and a sword, and act as a guard at the manor.

He admired the thirty-eight-year-old Carol very much, and under his military training, his strength increased greatly, and if Jack was born into a nobleman, he was fully qualified to participate in the knight's martial arts competition and win a good ranking.

On the day Howard rescued Jack, he was talking to a bishop about the island of Venice, so he still had a cross necklace on him.

The sun shines through the cross necklace, and there is a soft light, and when I see this scene, I think that it is a divine grace to be able to survive.

God has not forsaken Himself!

Jack reflects deeply in front of the church and vows to live and die with Chaman, and the Grand Duke and his heir, Bran, will be the last two masters in his life.
