Chapter 123: The Order
"Your Excellency, your good fight, and the lady, is that your newly recruited knight? I would venture to ask, is this female knight married? β
"My lord, I am Anthony of Auvergne, and I was charging behind you yesterday, could you please introduce me to that female knight?"
"Please, Grand Master!"
In my ears, the "warm" greetings of the knights buzzed like a swarm of flies.
Lothar was perfunctory, squeezing through the crowd with difficulty.
In this battle, it seems that he is evenly matched, and even he often has a bright performance, which can be said to be a big limelight in front of everyone.
But his own family knows his own affairs, and this is all due to the "shining cross-sword" and Jeanne's deliberate guidance.
Using the blood waterfall for a long time, as well as magic props, has caused a lot of load on his body, and there is a gap in his attributes after all.
By the time he got to the back, he was almost out of action.
Jeanne saw this, so she deliberately guided the rhythm of the battle to the hard - Lothar was clearly aware that in the back, she was almost using a specific point in her hand to block his multiple attacks one after another, and only then was cut off by the shining cross sword just now.
The fact that a shining sword is "indestructible" does not mean that it is indestructible.
The water is so bad that people can't see it.
It's much better than Hans's stupid boy.
Lothar walked out of the crowd and told Ulm to remember to compensate the knight from Reims for his armed sword, so that he could follow Jeanne, who rode away on the grapes.
The armed sword that the knight lent to Jeanne was actually of good quality, and it could be sold for at least ten Souledes in the market.
That's not a small amount for a knight.
"You're really amazing!"
Lothar gave a thumbs up.
"That's natural, I'm a six-star after all."
Jeanne unceremoniously accepted Lothar's compliment: "But your Excellency is also very good." The 'powerful' here does not refer to the items in your hands, but to the calmness you show during the battle. β
"It must be said that your Excellency is already a very good warrior, and if your physical fitness is stronger, you should be qualified to be my guardian knight in the Holy Church."
"Thanks for the compliment."
At this time, Father Uldin, also carrying the holy spear, also came.
"Father Uldin, thank you for keeping the Holy Spear for me."
Jeanne took the holy spear and carried it back on her shoulder, moving smoothly, highlighting a dashing and uninhibited one.
Uldin replied respectfully, "This is what I should do." β
Jeanna couldn't help laughing and said: "Ha, you still haven't changed this one-dimensional temperament, and you serve under the command of adults, so no one says that you are boring?" β
Uldin glanced at Lothar and said in a calm tone: "After being summoned by the Lord, I have not been with the Lord for long, and I have been by His Majesty's side to treat him for leprosy. β
Jeanne suddenly said: "Yes, your temperament, and the idea of shouting and killing dark creatures at every turn, it is really difficult to attract people." β
She looked at Pranya behind Lothar and smiled closely, "For example, Ms. Pranya, such a beautiful girl, can't be confused with those dirty and ugly monsters. β
Prajna: "."
Lothar was a little embarrassed, and he explained, "Uldin, I didn't mean to keep you with His Majesty, but his illness really can't be delayed. β
Ulding shook his head and said, "My lord, you have misunderstood, I have no intention of complaining.
I am not a combatant in the first place, so it doesn't make much sense to forcibly follow you.
Moreover, my abilities are limited, and the number of people I can treat is limited on my own, so I have recently been thinking about forming a hospital order to teach others the methods of healing and saving people in my head. β
Lothar's eyes lit up: "This is a good idea, I'm afraid you don't know how bad doctors are in this era!" They say they are doctors, but I feel like they don't know anything but 'bloodletting' and 'enema'. Rather than being doctors, I felt more like a butcher. β
Uldin said in a deep voice: "In our world, due to the existence of healers, the progress of conventional medical techniques is also very slow, and I have even heard that in many places, there are still people who use the method of 'mercury steam bath' to disinfect treatment. β
Seeing Lothar's stunned expression, Ulding hurriedly said, "But don't worry, the knowledge I imparted naturally does not include these, they are all proven skills. β
Lothar was still a little uneasy, and chatted with Ulding for a long time before he breathed a sigh of relief.
What Ulding intends to teach is basically some battlefield first aid skills such as disinfection, anti-inflammatory, and trauma management, which sounds like no problem.
There is also the use of some herbs, which is completely beyond the scope of Lothar's knowledge.
"I support you, lack of people and money, just open your mouth."
Ulding nodded, "That's exactly what I mean." β
"No problem, but these things can't be explained in a few words, let's talk about it later, remember to make a list in advance, and tell me the specific amount needed."
"Okay."
Ulding paused, and then said, "My lord, what should be the name of the Order?" β
Without thinking, Lothar said, "Let's call it the Order of the Redemption of St. Lazarus." β
There was no Knights of St. Lazarus in this world, so Lothar unceremoniously plagiarized the name.
Legend has it that Lazarus was resurrected by Jesus Christ on the fourth day after his death, and this name prominently highlights the "purpose" and "theme" of the Order.
In Lothar's vision, Uldin represented the theocratic power under Lothar's commandβand if the Order could develop into a military order that was comparable to the Hospital and the Templar Order, but comparable to the current Teutonic Knights, it would be a great addition to his strength.
"Don't worry about teaching you knowledge, maybe someone will attack you for using 'pagan healing', but don't choke on food, if there is anything, I will bear it for you."
Lothar admonished.
Ulding bowed his head and said respectfully, "I will, my lord." β
News of increased intimacy.
Lothar looked at this ascetic with a somewhat old-fashioned personality and sighed lightly: "When the Order has saved enough people and gained popularity, it will naturally receive donations from all sides, and I hope that one day, your Order will grow into a hospital and a Knights Templar." β
Uldin said in a deep voice, "I will do my best. β
"Huh-"
Jeanne's chuckle rang out.
"You two are very serious when you talk, Uldin, and I will give you a suggestion, you can claim that you have been inspired by your Heavenly Father, as I did, and that you can surely coax a large number of followers if you show your ability to heal wounds."
After she finished speaking, she added: "You just have to worry about being pushed to the stake and burned to death one day, but I estimate that someone will rehabilitate you in the future." β
"It was a tragedy," said Uldin, "ma'am, but fortunately you did not die. β
Lothar nodded and said, "Jeanne's suggestion can be considered, but don't implement it for the time being, my strength in the Holy Land is still relatively weak for the time being." β
As long as the interior of the kingdom is settled, the pressure from the Papal City is actually nothing to be feared.
The Church in Jerusalem was already "indigenized" and did not pay much attention to the papal city's dictations.
The key is whether Lothar can take power in Jerusalem and give Urdin adequate shelter.
Of course, Baldwin IV was also a strong backing after Uldin's formation of the Order, but he was far from being able to say anything in the Holy Land.
This time, it was with the help of the might of the army that he was able to strip Renard of a title.
Otherwise, he would not even be able to punish Renard, a breaker who repeatedly broke the King's rules of peace with the Saracens.
Because killing a heretic is not a mistake in the first place.
And now, the war is over.
Baldwin IV's wartime authority will also be reclaimed.
Except for the two knights, and the city defense army in the hands of Amalric, the queen mother's court minister, Baldwin IV did not have any direct power on the surface.
This power is not even the number one nobility in the Kingdom of Jerusalem, and it can only be ranked second after Raymond, Count of Tripoli.
Moreover, after Raymond returns to Jerusalem, the Knights of Jerusalem will still be under his control, and Baron Gofrey is only the commander, not the Grand Master.
