Chapter Ninety-Six: A New Mount
"Cellinina, although you have served me for a short time, I remember all the feats you have made, and you have played a vital role in hunting tyrannical dragons, eradicating the rebellion and evil spirits of the empire, and eliminating the source of the plague."
"In this short period of time, you have done an excellent job in every task I have done, and I am honored to have the allegiance of a warrior as good as you." Lothar's tone paused slightly, and with a solemn expression, he put the tip of the cross sword in his hand on her shoulder: "In the name of Her Majesty the Empress and the general of the Limassol Military District, and Her Majesty's Majesty the Lord, the Count of the Frontier of Transjordan, Lothar von Habsburg, in the presence of Her Royal Highness Anna Ducasse, the purple-clothed eldest princess of the Eastern Empire and the president of the Levantine Wizards Association, I grant you the qualifications for promotion. The corners of Anna's mouth curled up, and she gave a very reserved look of encouragement.
Although I don't know what Lothar is called
"Promotion" with the knights
What is the difference between "bestowing" or knighthood, but this is obviously not an important issue. Cellina raised her head and said with some shame: "My lord, the meritorious service made by his subordinates is not as good as that of Ms. Pranya and Miss Frynn. Lothar smiled and said, "You don't need to be ashamed, promotion is not only a reward, but also a heavy responsibility, you just have to take it." Cellinina glanced at Flynn and Prajna again, the former of which was naturally smiling, but even Prajna rarely gave her an encouraging smile, which flattered her a little.
The short ceremony was completed. The aura on Cellynina's body changed slightly, and it didn't seem to be much different from before in terms of intensity, but in Anna's eyes, Cellinina became even better
"Drifting", the sense of threat to her life is getting stronger and stronger. It was as if she could melt into the air at any time if she wanted to, and handed her a deadly sword.
Your subordinate Cellynina has unlocked the second skill [Wind]. Skill Description: Cellina understands the meaning of the wind, and she can either move forward against the wind, greatly increasing her speed, or wielding a powerful blade of air.
Comment: And go with the wind. In this regard, Lothar's evaluation is: good sewing. Skills sewn to sew, but that doesn't mean it's not easy to use, Cellina as
The "Executor" originally only relied on his extremely high agility attribute to fight, and in terms of physical skills, he was inferior to an assassin with special abilities like Curs.
[Wind] not only enabled Cellina to master a strong body, but also gave Cellinina a certain long-range combat attack method, making up for an important shortcoming.
"Your Highness Anna, thanks to you today, this promotion ceremony has become full of gold." Lothar spoke politely to Anna.
Anna rolled her eyes: "I remember you weren't so polite yesterday, why didn't you see you all night, you all look like you haven't seen me for a long time?" ”
"Ha, isn't this eating people with a short mouth and being soft on people, of course you have to be polite." Lothar snorted and put the matter aside.
Trust is trust, during the battle record, they themselves will be in a very vulnerable state, after all, it is equivalent to a deep sleep, just like the night of the Battle of Song and Jin, if no one guards, they will not be able to detect the abnormality if they are touched closely.
"Why did you come to me so early today, you didn't want to urge me to pay back the money, did you?" Before the end of the World of War Records, he instructed Hogg to send the proceeds of this period of looting and treasure hunting to Constantinople.
The pirate captain has had a lot of money lately, and gems such as coral, pearls, agate, and jade have been brought to the market of Constantinople, and they are all rare commodities that can be rushed into a frenzy.
If this money is in place, Lothar will not only be able to pay off the arrears, but also have the balance for a wave of promotions from many servants, of course, Captain Hogg must be indispensable among them.
Although he didn't follow him, Lothar thought that Captain Hogg would definitely be at the forefront of his hardest work.
"Don't worry, it's just a little money, I'm not in a hurry to ask you to pay it back." Anna said angrily: "It was His Majesty the King of your family who sent a message to Nisaya, and he received news that Saladin had put down the rebellion of more than ten chiefdoms, and the Kurdish uprising led by the heir of Nur al-Din was stillborn. And the Sassanid king, not only did not send troops to intervene, but also changed his aggressive attitude in the past, and seemed to be on the opposite side of the Khitan Liao State again, so he had no time to take into account Saladin's measures. ”
"So Your Majesty wants me to go back early?" Anna snorted lightly: "Well, I guess I'm afraid that you really stay in the empire and don't move your ass anymore." Lothar thought for a moment, shook his head and said: "Don't worry, Your Highness Anna, Saladin is not a villain who does not believe in his word, although the war will start sooner or later, but it will never be now, Saladin will tear up the armistice treaty with his own hands." ”
"Therefore, I will not leave Constantinople immediately during this time, and I may not have time to take care of the expedition to Sicily, but it is still no problem to help the empire recover a few cities in Asia Minor." Anna was slightly stunned, shook her head, and said: "The most important cities along the coast of Asia Minor that can act as trade nodes are still in the hands of the empire, as for those nomads in the ravines who do not obey the king, let those Turkic chieftains have a headache." "The loss of most of Asia Minor's territory was a great loss to the Empire, but it was also a huge expense to govern after the repossession.
In a short period of time, this is definitely a loss-making business. Anna saw this very well.
"Then forget it." Lothar revealed
"Then I can't help it", he also expected this result. … Send Anna away. Jeanne reminded: "By the way, it's time for adults to draw cards again, right?" ”
"I don't need you to remind me, I'm ready for a long time." Lothar remembered that her next ten card draws would increase her chances of getting the Wolf Federation's followers.
The Wolf Clan Federation is just an elite wolf clan, that is
"Jiaotou" is estimated to have a four-star level. As for the average centurion, it may not be of a five-star level. After all, Hans is only level fifty, which is equivalent to the level of a centurion.
However, the more elite centurions are much stronger than Hans, and five stars must be appropriate.
A moment later. A giant horse-like creature with a swarthy body and a head height of two meters, which looked like a giant compared to ordinary war horses, especially the Mongolian horses that would be brought with the Tatar expeditions in the future, appeared in front of Lothar.
It has a spiral-shaped unicorn on the top of its head, similar to a unicorn, but the color is diametrically opposite, the ground under its feet will leave scorched black marks, and its body is full of fire attribute energy, although it seems insignificant to Lothar, but it is enough to prove that it is a horse with magical powers
"Warcraft". Unicorn Dream Monster. Four-star transcendent mount. This is a mount that is many times more precious than Jeanne's two-star rare quality sweat and blood BMW, the former is a pure mount, and the latter, even if the mount attribute is excluded, it still has not weak combat power.
Looking at the fierce appearance of the unicorn dream demon horse, Lothar tentatively reached out and gently patted its neck, not only did it not resist, but also grinned very flatteringly, its mouth full of small sharp teeth, and its wet and soft long tongue left a somewhat sticky water stain on Lothar's hand.
"It looks wild, but it's still quite tame." Jeanne searched curiously. She didn't dare to get too close, after all, it was a dark attribute mount, and if she was frightened by her aura, it would be bad if she went straight away.
Cellina said, "After all, the Lord is a dark lord, so it is normal for him to be close to him. Lothar smiled, "Then follow me." "This horse is obviously not suitable for assignment to Jeanne, after all, the attributes are incompatible, and the unicorn dream demon horse will show obvious rejection just a little closer to Jeanne.
And Lothar was really fond of the horse.
"By the way, didn't you draw out a non-wearable horse coat before drawing a card? Take it and put it on, and ask the craftsmen of Constantinople to make a set of saddles, shoes, horse armor, and helmets for it. "The full set of equipment for a war horse should include the helmet of the war horse that can lower the blindfold during battle, the neck armor that connects the horse helmet to the body, the side armor that is attached to the sides of the body, and some will also add a layer of leather armor to the horse's belly to prevent stabbing wounds.
The crusader knights preferred to use horse coats that were often unarmoured, and their decorative effect was far greater than their protective effect.
"Ha, sir, you really want to ride this monster around the city."
"What the hell, I've heard that in Alexandria, there are spellcasters who often ride manticores, unicorn tiger lizards and other fierce beasts, Constantinople has not seen much of it, but it is obviously not so conspicuous." Lothar took two more steps, taking in the appearance of the Unicorn Dream Horse.
"You see, it's a little bigger than a war horse, and if it's covered with a full set of horse armor - I think people would be more willing to believe that the horn on its head is just a decoration." Thanks to the legend of the unicorn, many horses would have a single horn added to their helmets, or feathers and crowns, and medieval knights were happy to have their mounts more ornate and different.
Jeanne clasped her hands to her chest with a childlike smile on her face.
"It's like finding a new toy that interests you, and it's rare to see him like this."
