Müller, of course, did not know about the existence of the New World.

However, in some continental legends, there are often descriptions of Viking who once visited a new land called "Vinland".

Some speculate that it is the legendary Lost Atlantis.

There are also arguments that Atlantis is closely related to the mythology of the Greeks and should have been located in the Eastern Mediterranean.

Lothar knew that the so-called Vinland was actually Quebec in North America, and the Vikings sailed through the northern islands of Gael, through Iceland and Greenland, all the way to North America.

But it was useless to know this, he was not even capable of exploring the relatively close East Africa, let alone the unreachable New World.

In three days, the first merchant fleet of Lothar will make its maiden voyage.

They will carry wine, dates, salt and linen from the grape purple dye that had been treated coldly in the Holy Land, and sail with experienced sailors.

Transjordan lacks cost-effective specialties, which is something that Lothar has always been troubled by, and the largest salt mines are monopolized by Renard's territory.

While experimenting with dragon's breath, Lothar was inspired by the sand crystallized by the high temperatures—he intended to try to improve the craftsmanship of the glass of this era.

Cairo, Alexandria and other major cities in Egypt produce glassware that has occupied the glass market in the Levant for a long time.

It was even exported to Western Liao, Tatar, Jin, and Song.

The glass market in Europe was occupied by commercial city-states such as Venice and Genoa.

The "Abyssinians", who were so close to Egypt that Lothar regarded them as the best subjects for wool, were naturally familiar with glass.

If anyone tries to take a worthless green glass bead and exchange it for gold and silver from the Abyssinians, he will be thrown into the sea as a liar.

Scarcity is expensive.

If you want to get a piece of the glass market, or even take a bite of fat, it will never work without making improvements.

Most of the glass in this era was variegated glass, and Lothar felt that this situation should be related to the lack of furnace temperature.

As for how to improve the glass process, it is not what Lothar is good at, he was an unlucky liberal arts student in his previous life, and at most he could only come up with one idea.

It's like gunpowder.

If you really get started, you have to count on Malles, who built the blast furnace.

…

Lothar returning from the port, passing by the Church of St. Andrew.

A priest with a Mediterranean hairstyle, who was preaching to some recently converted believers, saw Lothar passing by and hurried forward.

The church in Port Ayla is under the jurisdiction of the Diocese of Alaindeler and is equivalent to a branch.

In other words, the priest here is the Bishop of Uldin, who has hardly left Jerusalem or arrived in the diocese of Aramdel.

As for the nuns, the monks, they are all laity and do not have the priesthood of holy goods.

The priest drew a cross in front of him: "Praise be to the Father, Count of Lothar, for your persuasion to the pagans to convert to the Faith and to show your saintly spirit, and the Father will bless you." ”

Lothar returned the salute and smiled, "Thank you, Father, for your work." ”

The cymbals smirked, as if they couldn't open their mouths.

Lothar said, "It's okay, Father, you should know that I am actually a very generous lord, and if you need anything, just ask me." ”

Si Cymbal coughed lightly, and said, "My lord, I wonder if it is possible to levy an eleventh tax to repair the church, as you know, since the fall of Ella Harbor, we have become more and more embarrassed here, the frescoes of the church have not been repaired for a long time, and in addition, I would like to buy a piece of stained glass to decorate the icons." ”

Lothar frowned slightly, this is because she heard that she made a fortune by stealing her family, and she wanted to pick money from her fingers?

He then smiled: "Father, of course this is fine, but you must know that Ira Harbor has just stabilized, and it is the time when everything is in ruins. ”

"Building canals, digging wells, buying grain seeds, grapevines, training the shore defense fleet, maintaining a standing army – all of these represent huge expenses."

"If my army is defeated, and the port of Ayla falls back into the hands of the wicked infidels, you know what terrible the consequences will be."

The smile on Si Cymbal's face froze: "Yes, that's true, I can understand your concerns." ”

He sighed in his heart that at least more than half of this money did not have to be spent on those lambs.

But he also knew that if he hadn't paid for it, there wouldn't have been so many converts — and that was a credit to him.

At this time, Lothar changed his words again: "But you can try to find my fiscal steward, he is a devout believer like me, and if I have money left in my coffers, he will not be stingy to hand you a sum of money for the renovation of the church." ”

The priest did not know that there was another village, and he left with a thousand thanks.

Hans chuckled under his breath, "My lord, he must not know what kind of miserly vampire he is about to face. ”

"Oh, don't say that, Coors is your savior."

Hans was slightly stunned, and a hint of shame appeared on his face: "I'm sorry, my lord, I really shouldn't have said that about Mr. Coors. ”

Lothar couldn't help but laugh, "Heh, don't be so serious, I do have the idea of letting Coors deal with this cymbal." ”

Next, he intends to hand over all these messy government affairs to Coors.

As for him?

After so many years of fighting, can't you enjoy it?

…

In the evening.

In the garden of her mansion, Lothar held a bonfire dinner.

Grilled meat sprinkled with spices and grilled with oil is thinly sliced by the chef, wrapped in cleaned cabbage, and served with two cloves of garlic.

Jeanne looked at Friengilla, who had shiny lips, and teased, "Miss Frynn, don't vampires hate garlic very much?" ”

Fringira rolled her eyes: "As the Grand Master of the Holy Knights, how can you not know that the so-called sun, silver, and garlic are all unable to restrain us?" ”

Jeanne gently shook the glass in her hand: "Tsk, although I know that this will not work for you, I thought it would make you feel some disgust. ”

"Speaking of which, give me a chocolate bar."

Fringira hurriedly frowned: "It's not much, there are only a dozen of them every day, where is the extra for you?" ”

"Phew!"

Jeanne snorted.

At the end of the day, this little girl has seen dozens of times stealing food just by her, how can there be only a dozen?

"It's not uncommon for this little girl's snack to be in the future."

Lothar suddenly remembered something and asked, "Oh, by the way, have you ever heard of a girl named Cellinina?" ”

Cherinina's cookie box is an item that greatly increases the probability of drawing her.

But he couldn't remember who Cellynina was. Anyway, it doesn't belong to the top ten masters.

It seems that after I left, the speed of the studio's new followers is a bit fast!

Unexpectedly, you people with thick eyebrows and big eyes have also learned to make money.

Frigila immediately showed a wary look, she carefully put away the cookie box, shook her head, and said, "I haven't heard of it, but it's definitely a glutton." ”

Prajna also shook his head.

She is an Oriental, and she has little to do with most of the subordinates in the Western background.

But Jeanna said thoughtfully: "It seems familiar." ”

She paused slightly, and continued: "If it is not the same name, then it should be an old acquaintance with Uldin, she is a wolf princess of the two Sicilies." ”

"Werewolves?"

Lothar frowned.

Jeanne shrugged: "The wolf clan is a generic name, not necessarily all werewolves. Many of the young wolves are half-bloods and do not have the ability to transform, who have allowed them to take root in the human world for a long time, unlike the group of vampires who live in seclusion. ”

"Miss Flynn, don't you even know this?"

Jeanne teased: "If you want me to say, you vampire princess is not competent at all." ”

Fringilla snorted, "What's the use of me understanding those things?" The people who fought bloody battles with the wolves in the Balkans were all barbarians of the Iskander clan. ”

That being said, Frigila still hates wolf cubs.

It's bloodline.

"That's right."

Lothar was a little disappointed.

Right now, he'd love to get a new Warlock, or a ranged follower like a marksman, and a melee like the Wolf Clan, he really didn't lack much.
