Lothar frowned, thinking about which attribute points to assign next.

In the distance, there was a neighing of war horses, and on the saddle bag, the "grapes" painted with the crest of the double-headed eagle galloped towards this side with the mounts of Lothar and others.

They rushed straight under the lush canopy of the Tree of Life, where there was a small lake from which the water flowed was clear and sweet.

"Poor grapes, I don't know how much I have suffered along the way."

Jeanne jumped off the wall.

Leonard, who saw this scene on the side, opened his mouth and wanted to ask, how many holy apostles do you have?

Can you count me as one?

He didn't dare to speak.

"Alright, Leonard, send someone to prepare fine fodder and reward these heroes. Prepare another dinner for us, not too rich, and we'll spend the night with you tonight. ”

Leonard hurriedly said, "Yes, my lord." ”

"My lord, would you like one?"

Frigila shoved a chocolate bar into Lothar's mouth, and he tasted it, matcha-flavored.

He thinks that with the characteristics of this chocolate biscuit box, it should be called "Forrest Gump's cookie box", because you never know what flavor you will eat until you draw one.

He went to the edge of the city wall and sat down, side by side with Fringilla, and ate this box of rare desserts.

In the end, he decided to take out eighteen of these twenty-five attribute points and distribute them evenly to strength, agility, and physical strength.

As for stamina, although as a lord, he should focus on "saving his life", but he felt that his defense at this stage was completely sufficient.

The rest was not immediately added to the spiritual power.

The higher the mental power, the worse the effect of the meditation method, and he planned to keep it in his hand when he was in battle against the enemy, or wait until the effect of the meditation method decreased sharply.

Anyway, bathing in dragon blood this time didn't have any impact on him, which proved that his spiritual power at this stage was sufficient.

"Frynn, do you think it's more practical for me to ask Anna for Transfiguration, or spatial spells?"

Actually, Potions is also very good, but he certainly doesn't have the energy to study it.

Could it be that he wants the Earl of Jordan to hide in the gloomy basement all day long, stirring the cauldron with a spoon and being an alchemist?

As for counting on Fringilla?

Lothar looked to the little girl who was squinting and munching on biscuits, thinking she was dreaming.

"It's still a spatial teleportation spell that is more suitable, and it can better ensure your safety."

"But it's a bit difficult, and I'm not sure you'll be able to learn it."

Lothar nodded.

The threshold for space is indeed relatively high, and the effect is very slow.

A powerful witch like Anna can only use Transfiguration to get away when the situation is urgent, and you can see that spatial spells are not that practical.

"The legend of the Trojan horse in this world is said to be related to space sorcery."

Lothar touched the stubble that grew from her jaw, beards were common in this era.

But he found it very unhygienic, and often saw rough knights, wiping their mouths with their beards, which were already covered with vegetable soup, after eating, and then getting up and leaving.

Therefore, he still retained the habit of shaving, which was not a deviant thing like shaving his head, but the latter could be mistaken for an Orthodox monk.

Catholics have a "Mediterranean" hairstyle.

"Perhaps, I should have asked Anna for advice in person - but she mistook me for a powerful wizard in a weakened period - well, that's actually my responsibility."

"So, the advice I got from her mouth probably won't be very suitable for me."

Fringira gave a suggestion: "If it really can't be done, just ask for the young sea dragon that she has been boasting about all day long, who can revive the glory of the Eastern Empire's navy." ”

Lothar rubbed Fringilla's hair, good head, not only good to hear, but also good plate.

"Pirates on the Red Sea don't need a sea dragon to deal with, Hogg and his ghost ship are enough."

"Moreover, I am different from the Eastern Empire with a long and narrow coastline, at this stage, I still have to rely on land power."

The reason why it is said at this stage is because in Lothar's concept, once the granary of Egypt is taken and the navy is not developed, how can it get a piece of the Mediterranean trade?

The Crusader fleets, the fleets of the Venetian and Genoese, and the fleets of the Eastern Empire, said to be the brothers of Christ, are not really very reliable.

It's normal to in the same room.

Then.

The tree of life shimmered green, and a fresh, as if it were brewing with a vibrant breath, permeated the whole of the new Habsburgs.

"The tree of life is about to enter its youth."

Lothar stood up.

The people in the castle, in the market, and in the villages, were also attracted by this vision and walked towards the tree of life.

The battle during the day, Lothar had already sent someone to explain, and they were not worried about being in danger.

With the increasing number of "pilgrims" gathered under the tree of life.

Lothar seemed to see a faint line of threads running from the top of the pilgrims' heads to the canopy of the Tree of Life.

"What is this?"

"It's faith."

At some point, Jeanne came to his side.

"The little tree is about to become a god, just like the totemic gods and animal gods worshipped by people in black Africa."

"My lord, you have a special connection with the little tree, otherwise you wouldn't have seen this kind of line."

Jeanne paused slightly, adding, "I am the Grand Master of the Holy Church Knights, and I have a lot to do with 'faith', so I can see it. ”

Lothar frowned: "Then why didn't the holy relics and icons in the church become gods?" ”

Jeanne shrugged: "The Tree of Life is originally a totemic god worshiped by the elves, and the little tree is probably just awakening its original ability." ”

"And, you must know that there is no guarantee that there are no real gods behind those holy relics—if they exist, people's faith will go to the gods behind these holy relics, not in the utensils."

Lothar suddenly said: "That's right. ”

Becoming a god does not mean that the tree of life will immediately usher in some kind of transformation, and the totem gods of some tribes in black Africa are often used by wizards to decoct medicine, or to make magic weapons and props, but they are not tall at all.

"One more thing, sir."

Jeanne stretched out her hand, took a green point of light falling from the sky, watched it dissipate in the palm of her hand, and couldn't help but smile and said, "My lord, what holy relics have you seen that you can say without shame - those holy relics and holy artifacts have not become gods?" ”

Lothar is as good as a stream: "Indeed, Jeanne, you have thought more about this matter than I do. ”

In my ears, a chime sounds.

You have bathed in the rain of life, and in a year, you will have a hard time suffering from disease.

It's a gift.

Many pilgrims can feel their external injuries, and their backs, legs, and hands, which are painful all day long due to exertion, have been significantly relieved.

In Lothar's sight, the threads of faith became more eye-catching.

"If it weren't for the fact that I was the Earl of Transjordan, I would have to worry that the Tree of Life would be branded as a pagan god, and I would have to prepare for the crusade of the Crusaders one day."

Not now.

The Jerusalem Catholic Church is a "revised" church with oriental characteristics.

It is not too difficult to add a sacred relic to the "Tree of Life", or to ignore it.

Of course, this requires Lothar to hold the authority, and if Emperor Henry, King Lionheart Richard and other European monarchs come over, it may not be Lothar's turn to speak.

These European monarchs not only had powerful armies and vast territories, but also had the power of wizards.
