Lothar walked into Jeanne's tent with a smell of wine.

"Drinking so much alcohol?"

Jeanne frowned at the smell of alcohol, and she suspected that Lothar had drunk at least a few barrels of beer in oak casks at least—why didn't this good thing take me with her?

"I did drink a lot. Can you prepare me a bucket of bath water? ”

Lothar is sober, his physical fitness is not what it used to be, a few barrels of beer, no problem at all.

"Cut, I have to fight for you on the battlefield, and I have to wait for you to take a shower when I get off the battlefield - will I have to move myself when you lie in bed?"

Jeanne's response was as sharp as ever.

Lothar said with a straight face: "That's not it, it's just some low-alcohol wine, you just need to lie down in bed later." ”

"Hey, I didn't promise you to do that kind of thing."

Jeanne rolled her eyes, and subconsciously glanced at the door of the tent, which didn't seem to be closed yet.

But Lothar's hand had reached into her neckline dishonestly.

"Hey, as Saint Lothar, shouldn't you be a little more reserved? I've heard of some devout women who are even asked not to make a cheerful voice when they do it. In this way, Prajna looks like a devout female believer. ”

In the eyes of some dogmatic priests, the sole purpose of mating is to reproduce, and if you shamelessly enjoy the pleasure of mating, you are a degenerate; Many men and women will even swear to their chastity after having a child that they will never do it again.

The church will also praise this act, and even canonize the chaste woman, which is quite similar to the chastity archway in the East.

Sexual behavior between normal couples is regarded as such, not to mention cheating, self-desecration, mouth, backyard, and engaging in foundations, which is simply an unforgivable sin!

On a higher level, sexual perversions such as fucking goats and intercourse with livestock are considered to be possessed by the devil, and they should be immediately burned at the stake and burned to death along with the devil in their bodies.

"I'll tell her."

Jeanne said proudly: "Go, I'm not afraid of her, she is not my opponent now." ”

Seeing that Lothar's breathing became heavier and heavier, the scorching heat burned two red clouds on her cheeks: "Wait a little longer, at least take a shower first, and I'll go and ask the kitchen to bring a bucket of hot water." ”

"Hmm."

Lothar stared at Jeanne's slender back.

He liked Jeanne's figure, thin where it should be, plump where it should be, and trained legs that were slender, smooth, and elastic.

He pulled Jeanna's thin blanket to cover the lower half of his body, and while waiting for the bath water, he forcibly changed the topic: "Your speech today is wonderful. ”

Jeanne turned around and didn't pay attention to Lothar's small movements: "It's just to tell the truth, under your command, they have far more opportunities to make meritorious contributions than under other lords." ”

She suddenly thought of something, and sat down beside Lothar with some excitement: "By the way, speaking of which, has the current Prajna changed anything compared to before?" ”

"There are still changes, there are slightly more words than before, and the voice and facial expressions are more vivid."

Lothar pondered earnestly.

"That's not all I want to know."

Jeanna raised a hand and pinched it: "What about the feel, is it moist?" ”

Lothar subconsciously recalled last night's experience, her heart rippled for a moment, and she immediately reacted and straightened her face: "How can I tell you this?" Do you want to tell others about our experience in bed behind your back? ”

"Just say it, I don't care anyway."

Jeanne crossed her legs, took a bottle of wine from the table, bit the cork with her teeth, and poured her head up: "Oh, by the way, how about today's banquet?" I see you're having a good time. ”

"It's not good, it's bloody."

Lothar shook his head and said, "For tonight's banquet, I have invited more than a dozen well-known wealthy Jewish businessmen, and I need their money to cover the military expenses. ”

"Killed?"

Jeanne made a clicking gesture around her neck.

She knew that Lothar and Curs had been planning to make a fortune from the Jewish merchants who had hoarded Juqi for the past two days.

Those people are indeed hateful.

When they raised the price of food to the sky, they never thought about whether the poor at the bottom would still have enough to eat.

"How is it possible, I'm not Adolf... Just killed a few people who were more ruthless in raising prices, and were sent by Duke Raymond to hang them on the gallows in Galilee, which not only set an example for chickens and monkeys, but also used to calm the anger of the people. ”

Jeanne couldn't help but laugh and said, "Then you are really merciful." ”

"Not really."

Lothar sighed, he didn't have that much bad feeling towards the Jews, and there were many Jewish people in Hebron under his rule.

Hoarding was not only done by Jewish merchants, but also by the Genoese and Venetians.

But after all, this is a holy place, the closest place to the Father, and as Christians, they have to be taboo and not go too far.

Lothar continued: "The supplies and money copied from these wealthy Jewish merchants have been donated to the crusaders by their lords, and if this material is in place, we should be able to set off. ”

"Tsk, worthy of being a crusader prince, ideological consciousness is high."

"It's not gratuitous, they have all sent the second sons of their respective families to swear allegiance to me, and if I take Egypt, I will definitely give them a fief as compensation, Raymond and I tonight have been talking about the title of Duke of Cyrenaica, but we have been talking for a long time."

Duke Raymond, as the largest lord in the north of Jerusalem, would be greatly weakened by the opposition of Duke Raymond.

"In order to get his help, the condition is to take the title of Duke of Cyrenaica in exchange, and at the same time, Duke Raymond also drew a cake, claiming that if this battle is successful, he will elect me to be king of Egypt."

In fact, if it weren't for the system requirements, Lothar really didn't care much about the false title of a king.

Baldwin IV was king, but in Jerusalem the regent had more say than the king, after all, half of the kingdom was the private domain of the family, and a third of the nobles of the entire kingdom had sworn allegiance to him.

So Lothar finally accepted Duke Raymond's terms.

In any case, the Duchy of Cyrenaica has long since declined, and the pearl of the sea that once flourished in the Greek and imperial era is now in ruins, and the rebuilt city of Cyrenaica has long since lost its former glory.

In short, the status of the commercial hub has long since been replaced by Alexandria, and the most valuable thing is that the land is neither barren nor fertile.

Duke Raymond was actually more interested in the Duchy of Alexandria, but was immediately rejected by Lothar.

In the whole of Egypt, the two most brilliant pearl cities are Alexander and Cairo, and Raymond is about to take half of it with his mouth open, and unless Lothar is crazy, he will never agree to such a request.

As for the vast tracts of arable land in the fertile Nile Delta, Lothar has also taken half of it and divided it into dozens of portions, waiting for the donors to choose.

Lothar was blinded by the devotion shown by the people, the fanatical adoration of him, and the flattering face.

He always believed that only by forming an alliance of interests would these people do their best to support the crusade's southern expedition, rather than shouting for the withdrawal of troops as soon as the rear was attacked by the first king Amarric when he went south to Egypt, and prioritized the protection of his own territory.

"You're really good at the same thing."

"I'm not painting bread, as long as I conquer Egypt, I will fulfill all my promises."

Egypt's cake is big enough, and he can indirectly control the land by turning soldiers from the canonization system into vassals, so if he conquers Egypt, he only intends to govern Alexandria and Cairo.

This means that Lothar can now trade Egypt's vast territory for a boost without fear of being attacked by it.

"Speaking of which, why did you think about coming to me tonight, I thought that you and Prajna should be the right time to mix oil in honey now."

Because Prajna is busy writing a new book.

After finishing his business last night, after he relayed the general plot of the follow-up story of the witcher, Jeanne was completely immersed in it - the immortal state of the book is not only better than before, but also easier to immerse.

Lothar thought so in her heart, but said, "Of course it's because I miss you." ”

"Huh."

The tall female knight was a little unconvinced.

In terms of appearance, Praruo is undoubtedly the most outstanding among them, and in terms ,,,of feelings, well, it is expected that my relationship with Xiaoqizi should be the deepest, and Praruo's stuffy gourd is definitely not as good as me in this regard.

"Well, even if you get through. Go take a shower, I'll be waiting for you in the bed inside. ”

"Can't we wash together?"

"I can't."

Jeanne simply refused.

This made Lothar a little stunned, or my family was more intimate and coaxing.

"But I'd like to try something more sinful."

"What?"

Lothar's gaze was fixed on Jeanne's rosy lips.

"Get out!"

"I owe you a personal favor."

"Get out!"

"Okay."

In the end, I can't do what I want.
