In the afternoon, it was the intensive preparation stage.

The army goes out on the expedition, and everything is cumbersome.

It was not until the evening that Lothar was at ease.

Since it happened to be a day of fasting and fasting some meat, Lothar only had a meal at noon and returned to the main hall in the evening hungry.

However, Leonard had already prepared a plate of pigeon eggs and spiced grilled fish, which was probably some kind of trout, and when the skin of the fish was browned, the snow-white flesh was revealed, and the taste was not bad.

This guard officer is not good at training, and he is by no means a talent with leadership, but he is quite competent for playing the role of "butler".

Had dinner.

Lothar reclined on a chaise longue and looked into the distance.

Tomorrow should be regarded as the largest battle he has to face since he crossed over, and it is not appropriate to describe it as a battle, it should be said that it is a war.

Moreover, in the role of a cavalry commander.

These days, he gets along fairly well with the knights of the Royal Knights, and it is still a little heavy to think that so many lives are hanging on him.

However, pressure is pressure, and after all, it is not like at the beginning, and it will be constrained because of this.

Frigila hung upside down from the roof, her long snow-white hair hanging down, and muttered with some dissatisfaction, "Hasn't that woman come yet?" My lord, she won't let us pigeons. ”

Prajna was still reading the book with her legs crossed.

The posture is a bit lazy.

Unlike Flynn who faints at the first sight of a book, she rarely reads with a bookish aura, neither like the fury of war, nor like the usual indifference.

It's called... Intellectual beauty?

She suddenly closed the book and said softly: "Little bat, your perception is really a little bad, lately, have you been a little too slack?" ”

Fringilla let out an "ah", a little surprised, and then realized that "Ah, she is already here!" Yes, I said how I felt irritable, like smelling the smell of an old woman. ”

"Little girl, you are really rude to treat guests so rudely."

The candlelight flickered, and a black speck emerged from the wall, and quickly blurred like ink dripping on white paper.

Anna wore a red dress, slowly emerging from the shadows behind Lothar.

"Ms. Anna."

Lothar bowed slightly to her.

Fringira looked at her with some hostility, large scarlet ripples quickly forming in her eyes.

Unlike Lothar, Friengira could clearly sense the threat coming from the other party, a powerful witch who was far stronger than her current level.

Just like a silver player, there is no way to understand the game of professional players during the lane, they will only shout "I can do it if I go up".

"There are two witches by your side... In addition to this, there are two transcendents who also possess mystical powers, what are they? A deity of a pagan god? ”

Anna pulled out a chair and sat down across from Lothar.

Praruo got up quietly and came to his side, and on the black shield that never left his hand, the ghost-faced relief began to come alive.

Even if Lothar had said it a long time ago, there was a high probability that this witch would not be an enemy.

But in the face of such an opponent, it is absolutely impossible not to mention 100% vigilance.

"What is the deity of the pagan gods?"

Lothar furrowed her brows: "Is there really a god in this world?" ”

After speaking, he quickly added, "I mean, other gods besides Heavenly Father?" ”

Anna smiled, "Don't be nervous, as a wizard, it's rare to be a true believer - I can tell you with certainty that there is a god in this world, but not omniscient." ”

"In fact, pagan gods are no more noble than sorcerers, I have traveled to Scandinavia and Rus' countries, which are wild and primitive, full of all kinds of pagan gods, and traces of the life of giants and dragons, in a sense, pagan gods are just powerful alien beings like dragons."

Lothar was silent for a moment, then asked the question she was most concerned about: "What about the Father?" ”

Anna raised her head, looked at the arched dome, the icons made of mosaic bricks, smiled and shook her head: "I don't know, but even if there is, it won't be as described in the scriptures." ”

"I see."

"Well, have you thought about it?"

Anna folded her hands and said straight to the point: "Join the Levantine Witches Guild - maybe we will change our name and become the Levantine Wizards Guild." ”

Lothar nodded, "Of course I joined, not only me, but also my two friends, she is Prajna, my most trusted partner, and the other is Friengira, who is my sister." ”

Frigila raised her eyebrows slightly, and glanced at Pranya a little defiantly, obviously dissatisfied with the other party's first mention.

"It's an honor!"

Anna's face was full of happiness: "I really didn't expect that there would be an unexpected joy, and good luck will really favor beautiful people." ”

She spread out her hand, and the pocket coat of arms engraved with a yellow cross on a red background and a golden double-headed eagle revealed: "This is the coat of arms of the association, and after injecting magic power, you will be able to contact me through this - it doesn't have to be me, after all, as the president of the association, I am still very busy, but someone will definitely reply to your message." ”

"Thank you."

Lothar handed the two coats of arms to Prajna and Frien.

"If there's anything you want to ask, just ask, and I'll answer three of your questions for free."

"Do you have to charge for answering questions?"

Anna held up a finger: "This is the first one, equivalent exchange, is the first principle of the association, the association will not do anything to restrain you, and there will be no pie falling from the sky." ”

Lothar played with this delicately crafted pocket coat of arms in her hand: "How could it not, isn't this it?" Wouldn't I have made a fortune by getting a magical prop for nothing, and selling it as gold? ”

Anna's eyes widened, and after a while, she said angrily, "Ask, ask, ask, but first, I'll only stay with you for a quarter of an hour." ”

"Ms. Anna, why do I always feel that most of the transcendent beings in this world are in two parallel lines with ordinary people? If a dragon breaks into a human realm, how should the king and the knights deal with them, or use the magic gold? ”

"Of course, the effect of the Demon Blocking Gold on the restraint of magic is extremely significant, and there are also many wizards and human lords who are interdependent, you should find that in recent years, there have been few ancient legends of knights crusading against dragons, right?"

"Sorry, I don't feel that way."

Lothar thinks that not long ago, in the mouth of the bard in the tavern, she had heard the legend of an adventuring party of knights and mages crusading against the dragon that devoured women.

"Ah, this kind of old-fashioned story is still being told?"

Anna was a little helpless: "This happened before, but in the past hundred years, the number of dragons has become smaller and smaller, and most of them live in places where people are rare, and those extraordinary creatures not only have extraordinary abilities, but also excellent potion materials in the eyes of wizards, and the extraordinary creatures near densely populated places have almost been completely eliminated." ”

Lothar let out a sigh of relief: "So, I don't have to worry that one day, my enemies will send a cavalry riding dragons to descend from the sky?" ”

"One can't be, one can't."

Anna shrugged: "Who can say for sure, just because it hasn't happened for so many years doesn't mean it will never happen, otherwise why would those European monarchs all have to raise wizards?" ”

"I see."

Lothar looked at Flynn: "For the rest of the time, Flynn will ask Lady Anna about witchcraft." ”

...

By the time she saw Anna off, it was far beyond a quarter of an hour.

Wizards are indeed more like scholars than combatants.

Even a scumbag like Frigila can come up with a series of spell-casting theories that sound like a book from heaven in Lothar.

And Anna, naturally, also developed a deep interest in the blood magic of another system, which led to her leaving, and she agreed with Flynn to communicate with heraldry.

A system prompt sounds: You have completed the milestone "Wizard's Gathering".

Get a reward: a new gacha.

Lothar did not hesitate, and no longer prayed sincerely before drawing cards as he did at the beginning, and the so-called number of card draws increased, and people became numb.

A cyan glow flickered.

The streamer swirled, condensed in the palm of Lothar's hand, and it was a golden ring engraved with a hideous ghost face.

You have received a four-star item, the Gargoyle Ring.

This is the royal family of the Blood Royal Court, a prop inherited by the Tsepeš clan.

In a designated area, two Vampire Guards can be summoned, and they will have the template of a three-star servant, as well as the combat power of a standard adult vampire.

Vampire Guards: As the guardians of the Blood Court, true vampires with a higher rank than blood slaves, they are often transformed by the vampire nobles they serve through the first embrace.

They often don't have the talent to learn blood magic, and instead fight through their agility and vampires' "hard to kill" traits.

While asleep, the vampire guards guard their master's coffin.

In the event of an invasion, the vampire guards are tasked with sacrificing themselves to awaken their sleeping masters in advance.

Template:

Quality: Extraordinary (4 stars)

Level: 1

Intimacy: None

Strength: 13

Dexterity: 20

Stamina: 20

Endurance: 8

Mental power: 5

Talents: Blood Falls: Vampire Guards always have blood magic called Blood Falls, and consume blood in exchange for maintaining the cost of this magic.

Skill: Blood Explosion: Detonates the vampire blood in the body, which explodes into a thick and corrosive mass in an instant

Comments: Vampire guards, who are dead soldiers, never mind paying the price of death for their allegiance to their lord for the gift of eternal life.

Although this is often seen by others as a "demagoguery" of demons.

But "immortality" always comes at a price, doesn't it?

Fringilla was surprised: "My lord, why did you summon the ring I stored in the drawer of the study, this thing is purely an ornament, what use can it be?" ”

Prajna's slightly mocking voice sounded: "Idiot, it was just an ornament for you before, but for you now—heh, how many low-level bloods can you beat?" ”

Flynn raised her voice, "Silly big man, do you want to fight?" Don't think you're better than me, I'm afraid of you! ”

Lothar rubbed her eyebrows.

Fight, fight, as long as you don't let me arbitrate, it's easy to say.
