Chapter Twenty-Four: Preparing to Leave

What kind of Shura field is this!

Helping Pranya will obviously lose Fringira's intimacy.

And Does Frigila's intimacy matter?

There is no doubt about it.

He's only a knight now, but if he can share Frigila's talent, he'll be able to master the mystical magic of blood in no time, and transform from melee cannon fodder to a noble spellcaster.

In the game, for the sake of balance, the mage may not be much stronger than the archer, the warrior, and the tank, and even has major flaws such as easy to die and short legs.

But it's a reality!

The caster is to be nobler than the stinky melee.

But if you want to help Fringira, the relationship that you have cultivated with great difficulty with Prajna will probably also be cracked.

Lothar didn't weigh it up.

From the point of view of pure profit, it may be more appropriate to help Fringira speak.

But he was never a cold machine focused on profit.

"Miss Frigila, watch your words."

"I don't want you to have a conflict, even in words, with my most trusted friend when you first come into this world. As she said, I want you to have the least respect in words for your lord and me. ”

"This world is not simple, and there are many people who are more powerful than you and Prajna."

"Even if you were old enemies, now that you are colleagues, you should work together."

"And you, Prajna, I know very well what kind of existence Frigila really is. So, if you're worried that I'm going to be seduced by her, you don't have to. ”

"Hmm."

Prajna was still expressionless, but the sound of her intimacy rising showed that she was still very useful to Lothar for her to help her.

However, Frigila's intimacy not only did not decrease, but rose a little, which made Lothar a little incomprehensible.

Lothar let out a secret breath and said, "Frigila, you come with me, and I will introduce you to my followers. ”

The two came down the hallway.

Lothar's tone paused slightly, and he said solemnly: "I have to warn you in advance, suppress your vampire nature, don't do anything to my followers, and don't hurt ordinary people at will." This is not the Blood Court, it is a different world with witches, vampires, demons, and deep water, so it is best not to show your uniqueness at will. ”

"Vampires?"

She licked the corners of her mouth: "There are vampires in this world too?" I can't wait to see these people and make them bow under my skirt. ”

"If you can do it, there's a chance."

Lothar's tone paused slightly, and then emphasized, "Remember what I said. ”

Frigila smiled and said, "Of course, my esteemed lord, any orders you give will be obeyed unconditionally. ”

Lothar nodded: "Now, I have to take you to change your clothes first, although the clothes on your body are beautiful, they are too out of place in this era." ”

"Yes, my lord."

Fringilla's attitude is very well-behaved.

But the prompt sound of "declining intimacy" in her ears still explained her mood.

I don't know if I don't want to be disciplined, or if I don't want to change my clothes?

Lothar gave Frigila a deep look, she couldn't deal with this female vampire with her heart cut open and both petals black.

In the setting, the humans who died at her hands were not ten thousand, but eight thousand.

It's an out-and-out female devil!

Lothar took Fringilla and took a very ordinary women's outfit of this era and put it on.

Like Prajna, she was also required to wear a veil.

It's just that her hair is a rare white color, and she has an extra turban.

Ding Ding Ding –

Three consecutive beeps of declining intimacy made Lothar sure that Frigila was indeed very disgusted by changing into a dress that seemed so ugly to her.

But Lothar is not in a hurry.

He had already recalled his original vision of Frigila.

This is a blood royal court lady who lacks discipline and is unscrupulous when she is young.

His parents died in the divine court when he was a child, and he lived alone in his luxurious palace.

Because of his superb talent and noble bloodline, he belongs to the little demon king who no one can manage in the royal court.

She is unscrupulous on the surface, and seems to have a child's rebellious mentality, often ignoring the ban, running out of the royal court, and acting recklessly in the world.

In fact, he has a heartfelt longing for family and love.

She is actually looking forward to someone who can control her for her good, to put it bluntly, she is a wild child who lacks the love of her elders.

The reason why Lothar chose to favor Prajna, and instead of disappointing her, made her intimacy increase, was because she always disliked people who treated her differently because of their beauty.

In the setting, any man who is bewitched by her will be sucked dry of all blood by her without hesitation.

So, Lothar just needs to take good care of her like a brother and control her.

Even if she is rebellious and unconvinced on the surface, the intimacy will only get higher and higher.

In the game, players need to be elite in order to unlock Frigila's set of settings bit by bit, and after reading these stories, they will focus on the strategy.

But Lothar was different, and no one knew the character of these servants better than he did.

In a sense, all the extractable servants in the system are his children.

"Frigila, this world is very dangerous, and I once met a witch who was more powerful than her. I know you love to be pretty, but your safety is more important. ”

Lothar said earnestly.

Fringira was slightly stunned, snorted softly, and said in a very impatient tone, "I know, I won't trouble you." ”

Lothar's voice softened: "I've wronged you." ”

The system beep sounded as expected.

Intimacy increases.

...

Veneto is located in the northeastern part of the Apennine Peninsula, between the Alps and the Adriatic Sea, bordering the Austrian frontier to the north.

In the history of Lothar's previous life.

Veneto was also part of Habsburg rule for a long time, but that was many years after the decline of Mediterranean trade and the arrival of the Age of Discovery.

Today, the Veneto region is controlled by the Republic of Venice.

As the undisputed king of the Adriatic, one of the most powerful city-state republics in the entire Mediterranean.

At this time, the only one who could compete with the Venetians in the Mediterranean was the Genoese fleet.

Even the Eastern Empire, which occupied the Eastern Silk Road and was once the suzerainty of the Venetians, had to reach a compromise with the Venetians in many respects.

In all the Crusades, if the army wanted to go by sea, it was bound to ask for help from the Venetian fleet.

The Republic of Venice was able to maintain its independence while the vast majority of the countries of the Apennine Peninsula were brought under the rule of the Great Germania Empire.

Its strength can be seen.

Although the merchants of this era were despised and ridiculed.

But no one can deny that the vast wealth in their hands is beyond the reach of any feudal lord, not even the emperor.

In this era, as long as there is money, a large number of elite mercenaries can be organized, and they are far more brave and good at fighting than serf conscripts.

Ryan and Hans are back.

As soon as he entered the door, Ryan scolded in Swabian country slang: "This group of greedy and contemptible pigs dares to offer a ticket for three gold coins, which is simply slaughtering us as fat pigs!" ”

Moder was a little puzzled, "Did you say that we are going to the Holy Land to participate in the Holy War?" ”

"Anyway, that damn guy actually told me disapprovingly that if you can't even afford a ferry ticket, you will be a ruffian when you get to the Holy Land, and you will be idle all day long, and the Holy Land will be covered with dust."

"I wonder if the Venetians really believe in the Father! These people are no different from the Jews, they are heresies who believe in the Father! ”

Lothar couldn't help but laugh and said, "Perhaps, the Venetians believe in Hermes." ”

"What Moss?"

Ryan looked confused.

Hans explains: "It was the pagan god of commerce that the Greeks once believed in. ”

In this era, the right to education was mostly in the hands of theologians.

Even as a lord or even a king, it is not uncommon to not be able to read a single word.

Ryan suddenly and with some embarrassment, he responded, "That's right, these greedy Venetians are far less devout to their Heavenly Father than they are to their coins. ”

"At the time of the last crusade, the price was originally negotiated, and the Venetians dared to temporarily increase the price, which was due to the Pope's oracle."

Lothar smiled: "It doesn't matter, if he opens such a high price, it doesn't mean that others will also drive so high." ”

"Now is not the time for all the Crusaders to gather in the Apennines, the main forces of the Crusaders in Gaul are still preparing for the grain and heavy loads, and they are still far from the Veneto."

"It's too early for them to raise their prices, and you tell them that if they insist on increasing the money, we'll go to the Genoese and take a boat."

As merchants, they traveled to and from the Mediterranean.

There are only a dozen cabins, and he dares to offer a price of three gold coins per person, which is really taking him as a big wrong.

Lothar didn't have the idea of coming forward in person, and if a businessman behaved too approachable, he would be considered a bully.

It wasn't until late afternoon that Ryan and Hans returned.

This time, although the faces of the two were a little dissatisfied, they were completely different from the previous gloomy clouds.

Lothar asked, "Talking?" ”

"Well, it's down, one gold Suredus coin each. The merchant also wanted to make a hole in the contract and put us in the bilge, which Hans recognized thanks to his literacy. ”

Lothar frowned.

It's hard.

The fist is hard.

Lothar was a little puzzled: "There is no other house to negotiate?" ”

He didn't want to be on the ship of such discredited merchants, he was afraid that instead of going to the Holy Land, he wanted to sell them into slavery in North Africa.

Of course, the only consequence of this could be that they succeeded in fighting back and were pleased with the fortune of a ship.

The caravan hired guards could not be their opponents.

Ryan shook his head and said, "No, it is said that the route has been temporarily suspended because of the recent appearance of a kraken on the route to Crete." We'll have to follow their caravan to the harbor tomorrow to board a ship. ”

"Okay."

Lothar nodded, he didn't plan to delay in Veneto for another month, he would arrive at the Holy Land earlier, and he would start his plan to acquire the fief earlier.

With the system in hand, if you develop it for a month or two, the result may be the difference between heaven and earth.

As for the Kraken?

He didn't think that Fringira was there, and he couldn't solve some monsters that relied on charm and strength.

"Then it's decided."

"Ryan, Moder, Hans, the three of you will organize the people to purchase a batch of metal spearheads and shields, and if there are any weapons in the bandits that can be used, you can also keep them for backup. I'm going to make all the male lords pikemen first. ”

Lancers are cheaper to train and less difficult to train than sword and shield bearers.
