Chapter Seventy-Nine: The Levantine Witches Society
Lothar didn't stay long in the Basilica of the Holy Sepulchre before leaving.
Archbishop William already owed him a favor, and now he asked him.
Therefore, after asking a few questions of Uldin, he agreed to admit him to the priesthood of Jerusalem, with the rank of parish priest, more than enough to preside over a pastoral district of a barony.
Lothar didn't pay much attention to the theft of the werewolf's corpse, but just ordered to go down and ordered people to search the city for the traces of the Turks he saw that day.
His instincts told him that it must have something to do with the Turks.
The talent he shares with Hans is not werewolf, but beastly intuition.
On the battlefield, unless he was forced to do so, it was impossible for him to transform into a werewolf in full view of everyone.
Therefore, the beast intuition is far more useful to him than the former.
"When looking for the Turks, be on your guard and remember what I ask you to save yourselves. Father Uldin, come with me back to the palace to see Your Majesty. β
Hussar Ulm asked, "My lord, don't you personally lead the team to find that 'holy relic'?" β
Lothar laughed: "Heh, it's not us who should be in a hurry, I'll help them wipe their butts, it's already benevolent." β
It is Bishop William who is in a hurry, and it is said that he has sent a messenger to the Pope the request for the werewolf corpse to be classified as a "holy relic" the other day.
This would have been an encouraging thing.
But in the blink of an eye, the "holy relics" were stolen, which probably meant that Archbishop William's original plan to succeed the "patriarch" was in vain.
Since the city of Jerusalem was under lockdown and heavily guarded, it was impossible for those Turks, who had an obvious alien appearance, to leave Jerusalem in a short period of time.
Therefore, Lothar intends to get a lease on Archbishop William, and may be able to obtain from him a privilege exempting him from all excesses and miscellaneous taxes in the realm.
In Jerusalem, this was the treatment reserved for only a few orders and knights.
Regardless of the fact that the income of JogrΓΌsburg is very small now, by the time the war is over and the few industries that Lothar is ready to put into operation are on track, there will be more taxes to be exempted.
On the way back to the palace.
A woman in a black robe stood in the middle of the street, facing the galloping war horses, she had no intention of dodging.
With just one glance, Lothar felt a strong sense of oppression in this woman.
"Alert!"
Lotha reined in his horse.
Ulding was silent and wrapped the golden chains of the Bible around his fist.
Although Urding is not a combat servant, he is also skilled in equestrianism, and his attributes surpass ordinary people in all aspects, and even Lothar, if he does not use borrowed talent, may not be his opponent.
It's a really good fight, and it's also a very powerful help.
The black-robed woman was tightly wrapped all over her body, wearing a black face covering on her face, revealing only a pair of turquoise-like eyes, and she was not afraid of being suffocated in this hot weather.
"Oh, a rare wizard, and the other, who also has some kind of special power, no wonder you can defeat a werewolf, Baron Lothar."
The woman spoke.
Her voice was hoarse, and she spoke in a noble Greek tone.
"Witch?"
Lothar pulled out his armed sword and looked cold: "You can think about it, this is in Jerusalem, and many of my subordinates are equipped with demonic gold weapons. β
The woman chuckled, "Lord Baron, you don't need to be wary, I have no ill will towards you. β
Lothar shouted, "Don't hide your head and tail like this if you don't have any malice!" β
"Okay."
As she spoke, the witch ripped off a black robe, revealing a beautiful figure wearing a green bandeau and revealing a snow-white waist.
She spread out her hand, revealing one of the single-headed eagle insignia painted with flying flying: "I am Anna of the Ducasse family, and at the same time the noble purple princess of the Empire, and I am also the royal advisor of the Regent of the Empire, Baselisa, the most pious Lady Augusta Lagaia." β
"It turned out to be the noble Eastern Empire royal family."
Lothar bowed slightly, and the right to salute, the beast's intuition did not warn, which proved that the other party was indeed not malicious.
But the vigilance in his heart has not been lowered in the slightest.
A powerful witch is more than capable of misleading the beastly instincts of werewolves.
As for the Ducasse family, it should be said that it is the former royal family of the Eastern Empire, the royal family before the Komnenos family came to power, and because of the marriage relationship with the Komnenos family, it has never faded out of the political stage of the Eastern Empire.
Empress Lagaia also came from this family, which is why it is often said that the Ducasse family will use this to return to the throne.
Lothar was neither humble nor arrogant, "I don't know what it is that noble lady, you have condescended to visit me, a little baron, in person?" β
Anna the witch smiled: "Lady Lagaia has instructed me to form the Levantine Witches Association, and invite all spellcasters to join, the association is currently in the initial stage, I heard that there is a baron in Jerusalem who can kill werewolves, so I moved the idea to see if I can recruit them." β
"Heh, you're kidding, as you said, I'm a wizard, wouldn't it be a joke to join the so-called Witches Society?"
"The Witches Association is just what we call ourselves, and the association naturally does not rule out the participation of male witches, the reason for this name is purely because the number of men with the talent of spellcasters is too small, if the number of male witches is really enough, there will not be so many witches who will serve the secular monarch for love."
"Witches also want their partners to live forever more than the short lives of mortals."
Lothar wondered, "Why is that?" The caster's talent still depends on men and women? β
It's really chilling.
Anna straightened her chest and snorted softly, "I don't know, maybe this is the Creator's compensation for the blood we shed every month." β
"The patrolling soldiers are coming, if you don't mind, Lord Baron, we can talk in another place."
Lothar shook her head: "No, I mind. β
Anna frowned: "Am I that terrible?" Look at me, man, and in my appearance, no one in all Jerusalem will refuse to be with me, except your unsightly king. β
Lothar's face darkened, and he warned, "Please don't insult the monarch I serve, the consequences will be serious. β
"Oh, what a loyal servant."
Anna didn't think it was upset, and sped up her speech: "Then I'll make a long story short, Henry Caesar built the wizard tower, recruited spellcasters, and recruited talented apprentices to station, showing his ambition, passers-by know, he intends to unify the spellcasting world!" β
Henry Caesar was the Eastern Empire's name given to the Emperor of the Great Germania Empire.
"So, your Barcelesa, Empress Lagaia, intend to do the same?"
Anna smiled, "Yes, but this is just a response to Henry Caesar's approach, we don't force spellcasters to join, and our organization is looser and less binding than ours." β
"What's the benefit of joining you?"
"Of course, the Imperial Library's collection of books is far better than your individual spellcaster's solitary exploration, even if you are unwilling to give up your title and come to the Guild Headquarters for further study, you can still spend your contribution to obtain the resources and information you want from the Guild."
Anna smiled: "How is it, isn't it exciting?" β
