There was the sound of footsteps behind him.

Otto, his brother, came to his side and smiled, "I knew you were here, and when you were upset, you always liked to come here to breathe." ”

"It's a great place, with a great view and a refreshing view."

Lothar frowned, "Do you have anything to do with me?" ”

Otto smiled gently: "Brother, I just feel that you are a little nervous. ”

"You're thinking too much, what do I have to be nervous about."

Lothar said with some insincerity.

He had never slaughtered a chicken by himself in his previous life, so he had to go to a distant place, holding a gun and a sword, fighting the enemy, how could he not be nervous?

"Lothar, the Crusades are a sacred cause, the Holy City is surrounded by wolves, and we are fighting for God, this is our mission."

Otto's tone paused slightly, and he was a little stunned: "If it weren't for the emperor being excommunicated by His Majesty the Pope, presumably our Great Germania would have already begun to mobilize." ”

Lothar sighed lightly.

"Otto, do you really think the Crusaders are so sacred? A group of people who travel thousands of miles to other people's homes to burn, kill and loot, is it really justice? ”

Otto frowned and said without hesitation: "His Majesty the Pope has said that killing heretics is not murder, we are saving them from falling into the arms of the devil." ”

"Huh."

Lothar smiled, remembering that in his previous life, during the Fourth Crusade, this group of robbers from the West not only pointed the finger at their brothers, but even stormed Constantinople, burning and looting fiercely.

You must know that the orthodox Christianity and the Catholic Church in the Eastern Empire are all brothers of Christ.

"You're right, it's that I'm thinking too much."

Lothar turned away, not in the mood to argue with the people of his time... He was afraid that if he said too much, he would be regarded by Otto as a blasphemous.

In the blink of an eye, it was time for Lothar to set off.

He took two carefully selected squires, packed up all his equipment, and led his Nisaan war horse to the gate of the castle.

One of the two attendants was a crossbowman named Ryan, and the other was a shield infantryman named Moder, both of whom were standing sergeants of the "Eagle Castle", who had been trained for many years and had excellent combat skills.

The pack horses they led were needed to carry equipment and baggage.

The two are not strictly considered "attendants".

As a reserve nobleman, the knight squire is placed in the countryside, and it can be regarded as a first-class role for the squire.

Some poor knights would use this to collect wealth, taking the children of the burghers as squires in exchange for wealth, and those burghers would use this to achieve class leapfrogging.

But after all, Lothar has just become a knight, and he really wants two knight squires, because it is difficult to pick out a suitable candidate in a short period of time, and secondly, the practicality is not high.

After all, the knight's squire is a lightly armed cavalry who has to follow the knight to charge, and if he wants to ride a serious war horse, he will only need to carry more supplies.

And in the narrow mountains, in the face of possible robbers, two real knight squires will obviously not be more effective than two sergeants.

Before leaving.

With a solemn face, the Count of Werner handed over a letter sealed in wax and stamped with his personal seal: "Lothar, I once followed His Majesty Baldwin in the Battle of Mongisa, bathed in the glory of the Great Cross, and launched a charge against the Egyptians. We have tasted the fruits of our victory, and we have struck many times the infidels of our size. ”

"To this day, I often go back to that day in my sleep."

"You must remember that His Majesty Baldwin is a natural king, and he deserves your bravery to serve him, and he will definitely be worth the money."

"Take my letter, and bring my greetings to Your Majesty on my behalf, and say that Werner from Swabia pays the highest respect to the sovereign whom he served."

Lothar took the envelope and bowed slightly, "I will, father." ”

Baldwin is Baldwin IV, King of Jerusalem.

In Lothar's previous life, some people thought he was a genius, while others thought he was cowardly and mediocre - the so-called Battle of Mongisa was nothing more than a concoction of the imagination of his personal knights.

But Baldwin IV in this world did have extraordinary military talent and charisma. After all, even Emperor Henry had never been so touted by the Count of Werner.

Saying goodbye to Count Werner, Lothar took Ryan and Modell, two squires, and walked on the mountain path.

As soon as he walked a short distance, he heard the sound of horses' hooves behind him.

Otto, riding his horse, chased after him from behind, looking condescendingly at Lothar.

"What's the matter?"

Lothar raised an eyebrow.

Otto was silent for a moment, then threw a cloth bag at Lothar.

Lothar received it in his hand and shook it, and a crisp and pleasant sound suddenly came from the heavy money bag.

"Where did you get all this money?"

Otto muffled, "I stole my father's two favorite silver wine glasses, and the rest are the savings I have saved over the years." ”

Lothar said with some amusement: "Heh, Otto, you are not afraid that I will come back alive and snatch the inheritance with you." ”

Otto jumped off his horse and came to Lothar.

He patted Lothar on the shoulder, hesitated, and then reached out and grabbed Lothar's short hair: "If it really comes to that time, we will each rely on our abilities." ”

"Honestly, I really hope you come back safely."

Lothar was silent for a moment and smiled, "I'll be back." ”

"But not to compete with you for the inheritance of a small county."

"When the time comes, I will receive your salute with a title more honorable than that of the Count of Allgäu."

Otto laughed too, laughing heartily and cheerfully: "It will be, Lothar." I believe you can do great things, and the Habsburgs will be proud of you. ”

Lothar nodded.

The smile faded from his face, and he rolled over and jumped on his horse, lingering no more.

"Gone."

He whispered, and without looking at Otto's expression again, and without waiting for the two horse-leading attendants behind him, he harnessed his mount and galloped through the mountain path.

From this day on, he is a wandering knight.

However, unlike most of the wandering knights who were poor bare, he had a very good set of knightly armor, a half-sword, an armed sword, a riding spear, a war horse, two pack horses, and two heavily armed squires.

Such a power, no matter which lord is loyal to it, will be welcomed.

Behind him, Otto drew a cross in front of him and whispered, "May the Heavenly Father bestow good fortune on my brother Lothar, and may he be invincible on the battlefield, with no blade or arrow." ”

...

In the evening.

Lothar and his party rested in the town at the foot of the mountain, which was still part of the county of Aargau and the direct domain of the Count of Vilna, and was not divided among others.

In the town, in the Habsburg manor, Lothar couldn't wait to go to a closed room, turn on the system, and choose to summon his chief servant "Prajna".

The room suddenly shone with a golden light.

Dazzling, noble.

Majestic, cold.

It is as if a god has descended into the world and purified the world.

After a long time, the light dissipated.

A tall woman in a cross-era black biker suit and holding a black triangular shield looked straight into Lothar's eyes.

In the system, the woman's information slowly emerged.

Prajna:

Quality: Legendary

Level: 1

Intimacy: Lukewarm

Strength: 18

Dexterity: 12

Stamina: 30

Stamina: 30

Mental power: 15

Talent: Solid Stone (When activated, for the next three seconds, Prajna will be immune to all physical damage.) ）

Boost (When activated, with Prajna as the center of the circle, within a radius of 300 meters, all allies gain an increase of stamina +10)

Skill: Fierce Fight (Pranya drinks blood and death, after killing ten enemies in a row, he will gain a 50% bonus to all attributes in the next minute)

Thorns (Elite unlocked)

Ghost Gate (Elite unlocked)

The black-haired woman is really tall, and she is not inferior to Lotha, who is 1.8 meters tall.

She looked into Lothar's eyes and asked with a detached expression, "Are you my Master?" ”

It seemed that the chief servant did not mean anything respectful.

The expression on Lothar's face was a little embarrassed, and this intimacy system was naturally created by him.

In the game, increasing the level of intimacy will not only unlock more voices, but also allow the servant to gain a percentage bonus to combat power, unlocking the bond talent shared by the player and the servant.

But in reality...

This woman named Pranya, holding a triangular ghost-faced shield, is in the background setting, but the role of the janitor of hell will really surrender to herself as an ordinary new knight?

Although she has not been cultivated with a large amount of materials, she is far from the invincible power that sweeps in the backstory, and none of the high-level skills have been unlocked.

But even so, with the attribute alone, she can overturn her own well-trained knight with one hand.

Lothar said quietly, "Yes, ma'am, I summoned you. ”

Fortunately, Prajna only frowned slightly, and bowed his head to show his allegiance: "Then from this day on, I will fight for you, Your Excellency. ”

Lothar secretly breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "Prajna, where are you from?" ”

Prajna frowned: "Your Excellency, as the caretaker of the Ghost Gate, of course I came from the Ghost Gate. ”

Is it based on the setting of the backstory?

Lothar frowned slightly, "Ms. Prajna, you don't seem to think very highly of me. ”

Prajna stared at Lothar, and there was no emotion in his eyes, such as joy and sorrow, but said: "Your Excellency, whether I like you or not, I will use my shield to resist all open and hidden arrows fired at you, because I exist because of you, and it is only right for me to serve you." ”

"That's enough."

Lothar pulled out the knight's sword in his hand and placed it on the other's shoulder, "I accept your allegiance, Lady Prajna, and... I will prove to you in the future that I am a worthy lord worthy of your allegiance. ”
