Why do I want to be friends with you?

Because from the first time I saw you, I was reminded that you had encountered a new six-star servant, Lavinia, and if she was recognized, you could also choose to take her out of the world of combat records. (Limited to one person)

So, Miss Lavinia, you have the honor of being the spare wheel option for the next place, if not if you don't get Miss Valentina's approval.

It's just that this kind of thing can't be spoken.

Lothar just smiled: "A beautiful lady like you, hoping to make friends with you should be considered a very normal thing, right?" ”

"Perhaps."

Lavinia frowned, Lothar was right, whether it was in the family or when she was studying, she had no less suitors, but she always felt that Lothar's purpose was different from those people.

She suddenly said, "Someone's coming." ”

In the open space on the roof, a girl in a silver-gray robe slowly appeared, her eyes swept over the female gunner, Lavinia and Lothar in turn, and then came to Lothar.

Valentina frowned, "Are you alright?" ”

"Nope."

Lothar shook her head.

Lavinia spoke: "Anyway, I will admit your love for this matter today, and I will go first." ”

Valentina frowned: "Wait, you can go, but this guy has to stay." ”

Lavinia turned her head and looked solemn: "Valentine of Saluzzo's family, she shot in the street, trying to attack innocent passers-by, and was later killed by me... The uniform, whether it is reasonable or reasonable, should be taken by me. ”

Valentina was silent for a moment and waved her hand: "Okay, Bologna's family, even if what you say makes sense." So, Lothar was also saved by you? ”

Lavinia shook her head and said, "No, his strength is very strong, even if I don't show up, this assassin may not be his opponent." ”

She said that the gunman had been subdued by her alone, just to omit Lothar's own decision and to put the Assassin at her disposal, rather than really to take credit.

Now, it was Valentina's turn to look the other way at Lothar.

"Let's go."

"Goodbye."

After Lavinia left, Valentina's face softened: "Tell me, what do you think about this attack?" ”

"Miss, it's clear that someone is trying to provoke a war between us and the Bolognese wolf clan."

"Who do you think it is?"

Lothar shook his head: "Anyone can be, Bologna, Yaxi, and even our radicals within Saluzzo, want to take advantage of this opportunity to rightfully annex the territory of the Bologna family..."

A force is always made up of all kinds of people with different minds.

Even the wolves of Texas may not be willing to accept the same status as the stray wolf clan.

Valentina's expression changed slightly, and after thinking for a while, she seemed to have a faint guess, and then said: "You did a good job, to be honest, when Eremer first found me, I was ready to collect your body when you were attacked by a suspected centurion-level gunman." ”

Lothar smiled and didn't speak.

Valentina was a little puzzled and said, "You have this strength, why did you only make a small corner?" I've heard that you don't even have a territory of your own, and you can only receive the poor three hundred lire a month. ”

Lothar showed a shy smile: "I'm sorry Miss, I'm more afraid of death, so I hide my strength." ”

"You're being honest."

Valentina smiled: "Okay, now that you have been exposed, don't think about being lazy anymore, I will promote you to be my guard, treatment... To be determined, I'll have to weigh your strength first, and if you can hold on to my hands for a minute, I'll give you the treatment of a centurion. ”

Lothar said a little helplessly: "Thank you, Miss." ”

"Your mission with Eremer is complete, I will give you a vacation this afternoon to go shopping, a rare trip to Bologna, I suggest you go to the tavern near Poseidon Square for a drink or two, the wine is good, and so is the girl."

Immediately, Valentina vanished.

"Don't leave me any money..."

Lothar muttered a few words, I don't know what the centurion's monthly salary is, don't come to the world of combat records, you have to pay for it yourself.

Lothar returned to the alley that separated him from Eremer and waited for a moment before Elemer came out of breath.

"Are you alright?"

His face was full of astonishment.

Lothar explained briefly, and Ehlermer's expression suddenly became more complicated: "You have really been hiding your strength, and you have been worrying about your safety all the way to me. ”

"Okay, you're okay, I'm okay, everyone is happy."

He shrugged his shoulders and said, "Let's go, let's take a vacation and go shopping." ”

Truth be told, he really wanted to visit Turin and get a taste of the Italian flavor of this era.

...

After the two of them finished touring, when they arrived at Poseidon Square, it was already evening.

"Let's go, I'll treat you to dinner."

Eremer spoke suddenly.

Lothar was as good as a stream: "Okay, I feel the wallet dry up." ”

The two of them found a tavern at random, and saw Elemer order a large pile of food and wine in one go, and the table was full of them.

"Is it so hearty?"

Lothar was a little surprised, Elemer was not a poor man, but he was by no means rich, and a worker in a carton factory worked hard for a whole day—fourteen hours, often earning only four lira.

So, this meal is equivalent to a full day's salary for five carton factory workers.

"Who let you save my life!"

Elemer's face was a little embarrassed: "To be honest, I was afraid that when I saw you again, there would only be a corpse left, because I knew that with my strength, it was impossible to avenge you." ”

Lothar patted Elemer on the shoulder.

"What are you doing with me?"

Lothar looked at Eremer with a puzzled face, withdrew his hand in disdain, and said in his heart, this is the approval of the Duke of Lothar, put aside my world, I don't know how many people dream of it, and want to be photographed by me.

"Don't be ignorant, this is the future centurion's recognition of you, and the young lady is ready to accept me as a personal guard."

"Really?"

"What are you lying about, when I am on the rise, don't argue to follow me as a follower."

The two of them began to eat, chatting as they ate.

Lothar suddenly remembered that Ulding was also a well-known figure in Northern Apennines of this era, so he casually asked: "Have you heard of Bishop Uldin?" ”

"Which Uldin?"

"Uldin Canossa." "The one who used to be the Archbishop of Milan. ”

Elemer suddenly said: "Oh, it's this Uldin, of course I've heard of it, he's quite famous, and many poor people miss him when he was there, and he is indeed an admirable figure regardless of his position." ”

"When he was the Archbishop of Milan, it was said that there was an annuity of fifteen thousand francs, or three hundred thousand lire, of which he kept less than a tenth for himself, and the rest was donated to the charity hospital, the homeless, the workers whose arms were crushed and their limbs cut off by the machines of the factory..."

Lothar was a little staggered: "Fifteen thousand francs? ”

In this era, the precious metal currencies of various countries are equivalent.

A five-franc coin weighs the same as a one-dollar coin, but the face value is different, and in fact it is equivalent to about twenty-five grams of silver.

In the same way, a coin with a face value of one hundred lire in Lothar's hand can also be exchanged for a five-franc coin of equal weight, and as for a lira coin, it can only be exchanged with "Su".

Of course, the face value of the currency seems stable, but in fact it fluctuates frequently, for example, when the price of gold is high, people are more willing to melt down gold coins to exchange for more silver coins, which is why the great powers have abandoned the gold and silver standard in favor of the gold standard.

It's just that the Apennine states did not have this gold reserve, so they had to continue to operate the silver standard, or more precisely, the gold and silver double standard.

"He's such a nice guy."

"Yes, even his enemies can't deny it!"

Eremer sighed with emotion: "It's a pity that he is on the opposite side of us. When he was the archbishop before, he sheltered the enemies of our family, and the patriarch sent two gunmen to solve the matter, but he was killed by this Uldin—if he hadn't run fast enough, the young lady might have retrieved his head herself. ”

Lothar couldn't help but be stunned.

Heart, no wonder Uldin's prejudice against the wolf clan is so deep.

It turns out that Ulding left his hometown to become an ascetic monk for another reason.
