The melodious wolf howl, mourning for a long time.

By the time Lothar heard the commotion, Hans had already put on his gear he had taken off.

He picked up the bent armed sword on the ground, his face full of distress.

Although the quality has jumped to five stars, the armed sword that accompanied him to this world has not been improved, and it is still just an ordinary weapon.

"Don't be distressed, I'll let Marles reforge a sword for you."

Lothar came to the werewolf corpse, and was somewhat amazed at the size of the wolf corpse, he raised his head, stared at Hans, and asked, "You killed it?" ”

"Hmm."

Hans's face had a mixed expression of expecting praise and fearing to be blamed.

After all, it's still a child.

Lothar sighed in her heart, but there was a serious expression on her face: "Next time, remember to notify in advance, don't act rashly, everything is about protecting yourself." ”

Hans scratched his head a little embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, my lord, but I was a little reckless this time. But I just want to find out how the werewolves of this world fight, you know, I'm not a native of the Two Sicilian wolf clan, and I don't have a heritage of how werewolves should fight. ”

"Moreover, it is inconvenient to transform into such a thing."

Lothar nodded: "It's excusable. ”

The hussars were 100% loyal to Lothar.

But Lothar's current command is not all hussars.

Hans pointed to the corpse of the black werewolf and sighed, "This is a poor fellow, I heard his confession, he killed his wife and son on a full moon night, unable to control the wild nature of the werewolf. When he woke up, he found the scattered bodies of his wife and children lying at his feet, and you can imagine how painful it was. ”

"He tried to seek salvation in the Holy Land, but unfortunately the Father did not respond to him, and in front of this pagan temple, he asked for help with the wrong gesture, and naturally he would not have received a response."

"A poor man indeed."

Lothar sighed, werewolves eat people, of course hateful.

But the werewolves in this world are also cursed people, and many times their evil deeds are beyond their control, which makes them a little pitiful.

But pity is pitiful, and if you encounter it again, you still have to kill.

Hans said with some pity:

"My lord, if he could control his wildness, I would have wanted to recruit him for my lordship, a huge werewolf like this is simply an invincible chariot on the battlefield."

Lothar shook her head and said, "Werewolves in this world are bloodthirsty, I don't dare to recruit subordinates, otherwise I will be expelled the next day." Someone, bring back the body of this werewolf. ”

This wolf corpse, he plans to bring back to Friengira for research.

In many legends of this world, if you are bitten by a werewolf, you will become infected and become a new werewolf, but Lothar finds this statement unreliable.

If werewolves really had this kind of contagiousness comparable to zombies, they would have been flooded long ago.

At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps in the distance.

The group carrying the lantern slowly walked towards this side.

They were dressed in obvious alien attire, and the well-informed hussars whispered: "It's the Turks, and Count Renard has hired such a team under his command, it seems to be called Gazi warriors." ”

Turks?

Lothar frowned.

Most of the Turkic tribes that moved westward were subordinated to the Sassanid king.

With a wave of his hand, the Sassanid king gave them Asia Minor, which did not belong to them, as a pasture.

The Turks also lived up to their reputation for bravery, and over the years, they continued to expand their power in Asia Minor, squeezing the power of the Eastern Empire to only coastal cities such as Nicaea.

In other words, the Turkic forces were often located in Asia Minor, not in the Levant (in the narrow sense), so how did they come to Jerusalem?

At the head was a Turkic man dressed as a nobleman.

In half-baked Gaul, he asked, "What's the matter?" I think I heard a wolf howling, a wild wolf breaking into the city? ”

Lothar glanced at Ulm, and he immediately understood, took two steps forward on his horse, and said sharply:

"Stop, don't come any closer, this is Lothar, the Grand Master of the Royal Knights. Heretics, return to your mansion at once, or we will identify you as suspicious. ”

One of the Ghazi warriors drew his straight sword and said angrily, "Bastard! How dare you be so rude to my master! ”

The hussars behind Lothar also immediately drew their swords.

The Turkic nobleman hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Don't get me wrong, I have no malicious intentions, I'm just worried that a vicious wolf will break into the city and threaten our own safety." ”

Lothar said in a loud voice: "You don't need to worry about the security of Jerusalem, Jerusalem has issued a ban, please return to your mansion immediately." ”

The Turkic nobles were no longer entangled, and said very simply: "Okay, I understand, please don't misunderstand our intentions, let's leave!" ”

The Turkic nobles who walked away had gloomy faces.

"Prince Jandal, are we going to do it?"

"Don't be impatient!"

The Turkic nobleman known as Prince Jandar showed a hint of greed in his eyes: "I didn't expect that there would be a werewolf in this holy place of pagans, but unfortunately, how to steal its body from the hands of this group of Franks." ”

Not all Turkic people have converted to Zoroastrianism, and there is a group of stubborn old-fashioned people in all ethnic groups, such as the group of Turks who migrated westward, a considerable number of them still cling to the shamanic belief of immortality.

And Prince Jandal, is one of them.

In Shamanism, there is an ancient technique of infusing the blood of beasts into warriors to create a group of beast-blood warriors, which is why Prince Jandar wanted to obtain the corpses of werewolves.

Watch the group leave.

Hans spoke: "Something is wrong with this group of Turks. ”

Lothar nodded: "Indeed, his eyes couldn't help but glance at the corpse of the black werewolf, if it weren't for the fact that the nerves of the heretics in Jerusalem were already too tense, I would have ignored them a long time ago, and imprisoned them first." ”

The reason why Jerusalem continued to flourish after the terrible massacre of the Crusaders was closely related to its compatibility.

Baldwin IV was also committed to maintaining a peaceful relationship between the followers of the two religions.

As a royal party, it is impossible for him to do anything like the Count of Renard, attacking pagan caravans for no reason, or even robbing nobles.

…

Early the next morning.

The news that the Royal Knights had killed a werewolf soon spread throughout Jerusalem.

Last night, the terrifying howl of the wolf, which was so penetrating that it resounded almost through most of the city of Jerusalem, is still fresh in the memory of many people who woke up during the day.

Lothar is waiting, and it may not be long before Archbishop William will come to the door in person, on the one hand, to verify the truth of the matter, and on the other hand, it is estimated that he will ask for the body of the werewolf.

The corpse may then be burned in public, and a grand party will be held for this purpose to inspire people.

At this time.

Fringilla was standing at the highest point of the castle tower of the royal palace, and as if she was violating the rules of gravity, she walked on the outer wall of the tower, and Lothar was terrified to see it.

"Silly big man, can you give me a little space to be alone with the adults?"

"It's my duty to protect your lordship."

"Yesterday, you didn't follow the adults all the time!"

Prajna frowned, realizing that he couldn't quibble, so he simply chose to remain silent as he usually did.

Fringira said angrily: "You scheming woman, when you hear something that is not to your liking, you choose to pretend to be deaf and dumb. ”

Lothar then stepped forward as a mediator: "Most of the booty taken from the robbers has been delivered to Jerusalem, and the broken ordnance and armor have been sold for a good price at a time when there is a shortage of ordnance in Jerusalem. ”

"I'm going to buy a few workshops for this money."

Fringilla was a little surprised: "My lord, are you sure to hold Jerusalem?" If the city is broken, will not your workshop be destroyed? ”

"Because of the impending war, many heretic workshops and shops are being sold at low prices, and when I buy a workshop, I will not start work immediately, but I just plan to take over that group of skilled workers."

Lothar planned to use the engraving printing technique to print theological texts, and with improved papermaking, there would be no need to worry about sales in Jerusalem, where theology was strong.

Although many people at the bottom are illiterate, it is also good to use it as a souvenir.

In addition, the modification of dyes is quite simple.

Thanks to the development of short videos in his previous life, Lothar alone knows many ways to improve dyes, such as dyeing expensive purple cloth from grape skins.

The reason why purple dyes are expensive today is that dyes use dyes made from the sap secreted by shellfish glands, which are extremely rare.

It's just that this thing is too profitable, and Lothar thinks about it for a long time, and decides that before he becomes king, he still has to keep it in his mind.

In his world, the King dared to exterminate the Knights Templar, the coat of arms of the two riding on the same horse, as homosexuals.

It is enough to see that wealth without the protection of strong armed forces is equivalent to neighbors hoarding guns and food, and they may make wedding dresses for others at any time.

In fact, Lothar didn't want to perform the duties of the Grand Master and work all day long, while still thinking about making money.

There is no way, Jogrüsburg is too poor, and the only specialty is crops such as dates, and the yield is not high, and it is not enough to exchange food for all the people.

Of course, the iron ore mine discovered by Marles, if developed, is also a good industry.

It's just that all this has to be compromised for war.
