Skimming over this unpleasant topic, the atmosphere of the conversation between the two returned to harmony.

The Lionheart was clearly a man of high heart, but Lothar's prominence in the Holy Land, and the power he now wielded, were enough to make the monarch put aside his arrogance and treat him as an equal.

He looked behind Lothar, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and then he said: "Marquis of Lothar, I don't know which one is the legendary Knight Captain Jeanne?" ”

Jeanne wrapped her helmet and blonde hair shawl in one hand, and took the initiative to speak: "It's me, Your Majesty." ”

"It's hard to imagine, Lady Jeanne, I've carefully studied several of your classic battles, and your acumen on the battlefield is amazing, and I'm looking forward to fighting alongside you, and the Marquis of Lothar."

There was a smile in her expression, and she especially remembered that the enemy she faced at the beginning was under the banner of the Three Lions.

At that time, even long after her "death", the British regarded her as a slut, a witch, and a spokesman for the devil, but now, the king of the English has praised her in his words.

She and Lothar looked at each other and smiled.

"What are you two laughing at?"

Richard felt a little baffled.

What he said before was not polite, and with his arrogance, he has never been able to raise much polite interest in people he doesn't like.

"Your Majesty, the scorching sun is high here, let's go to the banquet and talk about anything."

Due to the rush of time, the banquet was held at a manor outside the city.

The banquet was staggered, but the atmosphere was not very warm.

This king came alone, and although he added a general to the crusaders, he also laid the groundwork for the division of the crusaders.

Two monarchs who are qualified to command the crusaders were present at the same time, so who should the crusaders listen to?

Originally, the Crusaders were full of factions, natives, ponies who had just arrived in the Holy Land, Germans, Gauls, royal parties, post-parties, knights...

It is conceivable that when this king arrived, most of the Crusaders from Albion, as well as some of the Gallic Crusaders, would spontaneously unite around him and form a rivalry with Lothar.

You Lothar can sit as the Duke of Egypt, but no one else can sit as the Duke of Egypt? Duke Alexander?

Lothar was obviously not in much interest, and when she was halfway through the banquet, she got up and exchanged a few words with Richard, and then took her leave, and he still had to deal with Lavinia and Valentina.

But Sebastian suddenly stepped forward, the bishop was wearing a golden crown and a magnificent robe, and there was a faint sense of grandeur in his tone.

"Marquis de Lothar, you have accepted the coronation of heresy, which is a rebellion against His Majesty the Pope and an insult to the Ecumenical Church, and I hope that you, a devout guardian of Christians, will be able to come astray."

Lothar sneered, "Jesus Christ lived among fishermen and beggars, Cardinal Sebastian, greed and pleasure have never been qualities that a clergyman should have. ”

In fact, it is understandable that people have traveled thousands of miles to come to the Holy Land for the sake of God's radiance.

Indeed, there are quite a few people who do.

But more people are all about land, wealth and fame.

Among them, fame is often the pursuit of higher nobles, and a nobleman with high moral character, even if he loses all his land and squats at home, may suddenly be elected king by a certain country.

Sebastian wanted real estate, he wanted wealth, and he could understand that, but he would never back down unless he was a cardinal and willing to swear allegiance to him, which was impossible.

Lothar did not want to be subject to the struggle between royal power and clerical power in the future, so he simply strangled him to death at the root.

Sebastian's face changed slightly, and his expression became even more gloomy.

Lothar's words are really too damning, the bishops and priests of the major dioceses, who are not rich, full of servants, and live more luxuriously than the secular aristocracy, including His Majesty the Pope.

Lothar whispered, and added, "I suggest you learn from Bishop Uldin, who I think is more qualified than you to sit as Patriarch of Alexandria." ”

"But it's a pity that what you said doesn't count."

There are five patriarchates in Christendom, according to the name of the Eastern Empire, namely the five patriarchates: the Papal City, Constantinople, Antioch, Jerusalem and Alexandria.

The status of the patriarch is evident.

Sebastian had spent so much money to obtain the mandate of Patriarch Alexandria from His Majesty the Pope, and even gave up his own posthumousness, how could he give it up so easily.

Lothar sneered and strode away.

At this banquet, most of the people who greeted the Lionheart King were his people and the small nobles who had little strength, and when the crusaders who had gone out to fight against the infidels returned in the next few days, it was the big drama for both sides to use their own means to win over the factions.

…

Doge's Palace.

With Lothar, who was covered in heat, she strode into the mansion.

Prajna stepped forward to help him remove his armor: "What is your impression of this king?" ”

"It's okay, at the very least, he shouldn't be a person who likes to play with intrigues."

Lothar smiled: "If the cunning fox arrives, I may be more jealous." ”

He remembered Baldwin IV's previous speculation that Baldwin Jr. (Princess Scipera's son) had been attacked.

At that time, Baldwin IV had suspected the Anjou family, and now that I think about it, it should not be, at least not the Lionheart's doing.

The throne of Jerusalem was coveted, but the Anjou family apparently did not put much effort into it.

Otherwise, at least you have to lobby in the Holy Land, although the royal family of Jerusalem is also a member of the Anjou family, it does not mean that the king can only be succeeded by the Anjou family after his heir.

"I don't want to be an enemy of the Lionheart, but I'm afraid I can't be an enemy."

The Lionheart would not be resigned, but it was impossible for Lothar to obey his orders.

Lothar changed into crisp and dry clothes and went back to her room.

…

Combat records in the world.

In the dark room, Lothar's voice suddenly sounded: "Miss." ”

"Who?"

Valentina frowned, "Lothar? ”

Her expression changed slightly, as if she had thought of something, and sighed faintly, "Do you have any wishes?" ”

Lothar was stunned for a moment before she reacted, and couldn't help but smile: "Miss, you misunderstood, I'm not dead." ”

"So you're now..."

Valentina was a little confused.

She couldn't even sense where Lothar's voice was coming from.

Lothar explained, "It's a little complicated, miss, you remember when you were in Saluzzo..."

"It turns out that person is really you!"

Valentina was a little amazed: "The giant ship of yesterday that roams the long river of time... It's amazing, so, Cellinina and Knight Yao, are in your world now? ”

"Yes, that's right."

Lothar explained in detail, almost knowing everything.

"I'm really from the fact that you're from our Saluzo family... You liar! ”

She accentuated her tone.

"I'm sorry, miss."

"Okay, don't call me that, can you let Nina say a few words to me?"

Lothar shook her head, "I'm sorry, Miss Valentina, but I had to talk to you. ”

"Well, Lothar, your proposal is actually very exciting, and you can see that the Apennines, the wolf clan, are a muddy pool, but my family is here, you know, I can't leave everything behind and follow you to another world. At least, not now. ”

Lothar smiled with relief, "I understand, miss. ”

Valentina's refusal, he had expected it.

...

On the other side:

On the treacherous mountain road, Lothar's voice suddenly sounded: "Nia, sorry, I'm late. ”

Lavinia, who was on the way, looked around with some surprise: "It's good to come... Where are you, why don't you come out and meet me. ”

"Nia, remember the other world I told you about?"

Lothar explained slowly.

And the dish is revealed, without reservation.

Lavinia was silent for a moment and asked, "Lothar, do we have a day to come back?" ”

"How else did I get here?"

Lavinia's voice was firm, she looked around and whispered, "Then take me away, Lothar, I'm looking forward to the new world you talked about, maybe there, I can find a way to change the status quo of the wolf clan." ”

A golden glow filled the room.

A system prompt sounds: You have activated a new milestone: Lord of the Wolves (with at least five Wolf Clans of epic quality or higher)

Hans, Cellinina, Veneto, Lavinia, this milestone is easy to complete, only the last one is missing.

After a moment, the golden light converged, transforming into Lavinia's slender figure.

Seeing Lothar, Lavinia's mood relaxed a little, she looked at Lothar seriously for a while, and couldn't help but smile: "It turns out that your real appearance is like this..."

"Better than the original?"

"It's okay, it's not much of a difference."

After Lavinia finished speaking, she suddenly realized something, and frowned: "My strength has become much weaker. ”

Before she came, her strength was probably at the level of the just elitist, but after she came, she changed to a new level, not to mention that she became much weaker.

However, Lothar soon replenished the gold coins, raising Lavinia's strength to the maximum level.

"Let's go meet with everyone first."

Lothar said with a smile.
