Lothar is out of some wandering things.

Baldwin IV's mellow voice suddenly sounded: "Baron Lothar, in this battle, you have defeated many Saracen cavalry one after another, and you have made great achievements. ”

"Now, in the presence of the Father and all of you, kneel before me."

Buzz –

Lothar clearly heard the dense exclamations of the onlookers from the nobles.

It is self-evident what Baldwin IV meant by making Lothar kneel before him on such a sacred occasion.

Isn't it too much of a hurry?

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Doubts in his heart, but he did not hesitate at all, turned over and dismounted, and knelt on one knee.

Prajna followed him closely.

She bowed slightly to Baldwin IV and bowed right.

Baldwin IV was not dissatisfied, and said with a smile: "Madam, you have also made a lot of achievements in this battle, and I am very grateful for your contribution to Jerusalem. ”

He said, raising his tone.

"Archbishop William, please bear witness that I, Baldwin, King of Jerusalem by the will of the Father, bestow upon the Lord of Jogrusburg, Baron of Lothar, the lord of Hebron and the lords of Transjordan, as a reward for his courage in slaying the enemy."

"All of you present are witnesses to this canonization ceremony."

"May you guard your people and your monarch in the days to come, and defend the kingdom's realms from infidels."

Archbishop William was caught off guard by this, but fortunately he had already ordered the preparation of holy anointing oil, which was made with spices such as medicine and mixed with olive oil.

He put his hand in the clay pot and whispered as he smeared it on Lothar's body, "Your Majesty, is such a ritual too simple?

Fasting, chastity in the church, prayer with so much preparation that has not been done, this holy anointing oil, which I intended to use on the newly canonized knights. ”

There are not a few counts in the entire kingdom of Jerusalem.

According to the normal process, half a month from the beginning to the end of the ceremony is considered a normal thing - including inviting some lords to watch the ceremony, and the time it takes to wait for them to arrive.

Baldwin IV smiled and said, "No, of course it's not shabby. ”

"In the presence of the many princes, nobles, knights, commoners, and clergy of Jerusalem, there could not be a more sacred canonization ceremony."

Baldwin IV's eyes under the mask carefully surveyed the crowd of onlookers.

The civilians were already cheering.

When will we ordinary people be able to witness the birth of an earl?

This is not the republican period of the Empire!

Most of the members of the Knights also showed expressions of approval, but the nobles of Jerusalem turned cold and whispered to each other.

They were very dissatisfied with this, but the great nobles were not in the city at the moment, and they did not have a backbone, so they didn't know how to oppose it for a while.

In the team, Amalic wanted to stand up and take the lead in opposition, but when he thought of his greed for ink, he hesitated for a while.

In fact, Baldwin IV was also worried about complications.

Although Lothar's exploits in this battle are beyond reproach, in the final analysis, this battle is not a hearty victory, and in the final analysis, it can only be regarded as a draw.

Moreover, Lothar's age is so young that it takes several generations to go from baron to earl, and it took him less than a month.

Baldwin IV was not entirely sure that he would be able to convince everyone to obey his will, so he hoped to establish a given fact here.

As for the aftermath?

Let's settle down the law first!

Baldwin IV believed that Lothar had the ability to solve all the troubles and secure the position of count.

Next to the small two-story building.

There was disdain in the noblewoman's tone: "Heh, this little king is really dizzy, and he actually canonized the Earl of Transjordan to a hairy boy, doesn't he know that Renard's territory is the gateway to Jerusalem?" ”

Her companion speculated, "Maybe it's just an empty title, right?" Moreover, Renard and Saladin were mortal enemies, and even if he was dissatisfied, it was impossible for him to defect to Saladin's side. ”

It is not uncommon for an earl to be overthrown by a powerful vassal under his command.

For example, an Earl of Edessa like George Lin is just a baron of average strength.

And Count Renard, as the pioneer of the dryland boat, once hit the two Zoroastrian holy places of the Hejaz.

This is equivalent to a slap in the face of all the monarchs of the Zoroastrian world, and he and Saladin are definitely immortal.

Bang Bang –

Applause rang in the ears of the two.

"Hey, turn your head and let me see!"

They subconsciously looked back, only to find a white-haired girl sitting on the table, her legs swaying slightly, and a playful expression on her face.

"Tsk, I finally saw the vampires of this world, it smells so bad, like an old corpse taken out of a coffin, with a musty smell."

The girl's chuckle was full of mockery.

The noblewoman's face changed suddenly: "Who are you?" ”

On the girl's body, they smelled an aura similar to that of the blood clan, but with an essential difference.

It's like the difference between a pool of stagnant water and an ocean.

The girl jumped off the table, and as she walked, she spread her hand, and the blood magic brewed in it until it turned into a sharp blood-colored sword.

"Listen, I am the chief ruling clan of the Blood Court, Friengira of Cepesh, you two ill-intentioned vampires, if you kneel down and surrender to me at once, I will spare your lives."

The girl raised her chin and spoke in a high-spirited tone, which made the two of them feel a trace of anger in their hearts.

The noble lady snorted coldly: "I haven't heard of any blood royal court!" ”

"You're supposed to be a Bloodline, right?"

Two fangs protruded from the corners of her companion's mouth: "As a kindred, we don't want to clash with you, and if you leave now, we can act as if we didn't see anything." ”

"Ahh

"Even if I say yes... The other won't say yes either. ”

Frigila pressed towards the two of them step by step.

"Let's go!"

The two turned around and were about to flee.

But when they looked back, they found that on the balcony behind them, a female knight with a spear on her shoulder and a blond shawl had blocked their retreat at some point.

Just by looking at this woman, their eyes seemed to be looking directly at the sun, and they subconsciously narrowed, and large drops of blood appeared in their eye sockets.

"The... Damn, what a strong sense of oppression, where the hell is this monster? ”

A kind of weakness and fear as if being targeted by an eagle on a rabbit made both of them panic.

"Heh, standing on a high place, dare to reveal such an obvious killing intent, when we don't exist?"

Jeanne sneered: "Explain the mastermind behind your scenes, I can give you a good time." ”

In fact, there is nothing to explain, even if Lothar guesses with his toes, he can guess who did it to him.

It's just that he didn't expect the Assassins to come so quickly, and it seems that he had the idea of stopping Baldwin IV and canonizing Lothar as the Earl of Transjordan.

The noblewoman and her companion glanced at each other, not expecting that there were two more than the witch who was following Lothar, and that they had already sensed their intentions.

Run!

Without thinking, the two flew up, trying to escape from the direction of the roof.

But as soon as he broke through the roof, he was smashed down by a man holding an armed sword made of Blocking Demon Gold, with a fist and a sword.

"It's good that I was prepared, otherwise I might have let you escape."

Hans had a smile on his face, but the two people he knocked down didn't seem to be hurt much, and quickly jumped up from the ground.

"Who the hell are you?"

The lady let out a shrill growl.

Jeanne smiled and said, "Let me introduce you two, this one is a vampire, the other is a werewolf, and I'm a knight of the Holy Church who specializes in dealing with monsters like you." ”
