People in the Middle Ages, draw cards to get promoted

Chapter 9 The Second Card Draw

"Okay, ma'am, it's better not to make trouble for me. If your network is so effective, you won't need to make a covenant with my family."

Starting a county sounds tempting.

But there are also many problems to face, and the first one is probably to be cuckolded.

There are quite a few noble ladies in this era, their private lives are very chaotic, it depends on the power balance between the two parties in the marriage, if the husband is strong and the wife is weak, women naturally dare not go too far.

Of course, there are also those who are in harmony with each other, but they are only a few.

For many people in this era, wearing a green hat is nothing at all, everyone plays their own way.

You play with your mistress, I look for my mistress, it's a political marriage anyway.

As long as the child belongs to Lothar, the title of Earl of Augsburg will fall to the Habsburg family.

If Count Werner talked to the countess, he would be happy to agree.

Not to mention the green hat for now.

Whether it is a low-level vassal or a sergeant in the territory, the target of allegiance is the Countess, and it will also provoke a powerful Earl who is backed by Henry the Lion.

This will greatly limit his development.

Moreover, in the traditional Catholic world, if you want to expand, it is easy to cause panic among the neighbors around you.

Historically, Henry the Lion had successively won the two duchies of Saxony and Bavaria, and tried to get his hands on the throne. A group of princes formed the "Anti-Lion Henry Alliance". The two fought for two years. Although Henry the Lion Won, but was later exiled by the emperor, thus losing the Game of Thrones.

Lothar has never underestimated the trendsetters in this world because of his card drawing system. Don't forget that there are witches who control extraordinary powers in this world.

If there is a witch, there will be other extraordinary powers to check and balance, but he doesn't know it.

Wanting to understand this, Lothar immediately became firm: "Madam, please forgive me for not being able to agree to your request."

The countess snorted coldly: "Knight, are you doubting the background of the Calf family?"

Lothar shook his head: "I'm sorry, ma'am. I don't mean to offend. I just think that the emperor who is elected has no strength of his own, and may not be able to sit securely."

"Moreover, Henry the Lion of the Welf family is the most powerful prince in the empire, and he is the powerful heir to the throne."

Henry the Lion has a very strong influence in Bavaria and Saxony, and the power in the empire can completely rival the emperor.

The countess smiled slightly: "But don't you think that because of this, it is even more impossible for him to sit on the throne?"

"Young knights of the Habsburg family, no one wants a strong boss."

Lothar was silent. What the countess said was actually reasonable, but the more so, the more he felt that staying in the Great Germania Empire would restrict his development.

Even if you have worked so hard to win the empty throne, you have to face many resistance forces in the country, which is really bad.

It's better to go to the Holy Land to develop a wave, and one day come back with thousands of horses and horses, which is more reliable.

"Sorry ma'am, your charm is like the stars in the sky, but I shoulder the great mission of defending the Holy Land. My lifelong pursuit is to fight against the heretics for the glory of the heavenly father, so I can only refuse your kindness."

"Ok."

The countess was a little less interested, of course she knew that what Lothar said was just a scene, so her attitude immediately became cold.

"Then tell me, how should I reward you for your heroic help, Knight of Lothar."

Lothar said without hesitation: "Two war horses and some coins are enough. As you know, the Earl of Aargau is a barren place, and my father's support for me is limited."

"This is a great cause and I would like to sponsor you."

The countess nodded slightly.

"You can choose the war horse from the horses left by the Magyars. That should be your trophy. In addition, I will give you another hundred good-quality Suredes gold coins. "

The price of an ordinary war horse is roughly equivalent to ten Suledes gold coins.

The Suledes gold coin is a gold coin minted by the Eastern Empire. It used to have very strong purchasing power, but with the decline of the Eastern Empire, the quality of the gold coin is getting worse and worse.

However, the newly released batch is full of gold, which is said to have reached more than [-]%.

Not only gold coins, but silver dinar coins are also facing the problem of getting worse and worse.

A hundred good-quality Suledes gold coins are indeed a considerable fortune.

But it's just quite satisfactory, after all, the value of the mounts left by the defeated Magyars alone exceeds this figure.

Not to mention the possible losses to the team if Lothar did not appear.

But it's not all about cheating Lothar.

After all, at its root, Lothar only killed six Magyar cavalrymen, and all the spoils were sold off, which was not worth a hundred Suledes gold coins.

"Thank you for your generosity, ma'am."

Lothar saluted the countess with no dissatisfaction on his face.

The countess snorted coldly: "Get back, you ignorant barbarian."

After all, he walked away.

Lothar smiled nonchalantly.

Beside him, looking at his attendant with an expression of looking at a fool, put the heavy money bag in Lothar's hand.

He turned around happily and left. Not only was his mood not affected, but he was extremely comfortable. As a result, he had gained a lot of wealth today and completed a milestone.

Secondly, he finally proved his own strength.

It is indeed fierce!

He decided to go to the next place to stay and use the card drawing opportunity he got for completing the milestone!

That night.

They entered a small town in Tyrol and stayed at an inn.

Lothar and Prajna are still in the same room.

As soon as he entered the door, Lothar said impatiently: "Panruo, today I plan to summon a new comrade-in-arms for you, maybe it's your old acquaintance."

In the background setting, although Banruo has a dull temper, but in the "hell" camp to which he belongs, there are also many familiar followers. If you can summon enough followers from the same camp.

It can also form bonds and increase the attributes of subordinates in an all-round way.

Banruo didn't speak, just looked at Lothar lightly, as if looking at a fool.

Lothar smiled, drew a sign of the cross in front of him, and prayed: "God, please bless me with five and six stars."

Extract was then selected.

The system's crisp notification sounded: Congratulations, you have obtained a one-star defensive follower: Reserve Knight.

Lothar's face suddenly turned black.

In the game, one-star retinues have no choice except for the novice stage, and no one will deliberately train them. Even if they don't have the capital to build all five-star and six-star galaxy battleships, players will at least use three-star and four-star lineups to survive.

The only reason for the existence of a one-star retinue is to pollute the card pool.

So not only are the attributes very bad, but even Li Hui is very sloppy, often not even showing his face, covered with hair or helmet, and has no official name, which can be called cutting corners to the extreme.

This is a probability set by him alone, and he can't blame others.

He gritted his teeth for a while, but he could only choose to accept the reality.

Come out, reserve knights.

A man in iron armor and a mask slowly appeared in the room, far less than the golden light shining like a god descending from the first appearance of Hannya.

Quality: Ordinary (one star)
Rating: 1
Intimacy: cold
Power: 10
Agility: 7
Stamina: 10
Stamina: 8
Mental Power: 5
Skills: None.

Introduction: These are reserve knights trained by the Teutonic Knights who have existed in Prussia since the end of the Middle Ages. They have undergone rigorous knight training since childhood and are excellent fighters on the battlefield.

With just a flash of white light, the reserve knight was summoned by Lothar.

Lothar looked each other up and down.

The reserve knights are much more imposing than those shown in the standing paintings.

He wore a white burqa emblazoned with the Black Cross, over a full chain mail suit.

Holding a kite-shaped shield painted with a white background, a yellow cross, and a single-headed eagle emblem, the other hand holds a knight's sword tightly, and wears a winged helmet with a bull's horn on his head.

Lothar knew that reserve knights could not wear winged helmets according to historical facts. Winged helmets are decorations, honors, and also serve as the commander's logo.

But the problem is that the game he designed never considered pursuing historical facts.

This made Lothar very pleased.

No matter how poor the quality of the reserve knight is, at least this armor is real, the kind that can be exchanged for a village fief - much better than Hannya's tight black motorcycle suit.

In terms of attributes alone, this one-star squire is on par with him, that is to say, he is equivalent to a one-star squire, no wonder Prajna doesn't like him very much.

"You are my Master, right?"

The man's voice was surprisingly magnetic. He took off his helmet, revealing a head of golden long hair and a rather handsome and young Germanic face.

"Yes."

Banruo frowned: "This is the companion you said you wanted to summon me? I have never worked with such a weak mortal."

Lothar said embarrassingly: "Oh, there is a little deviation from the estimate."

"General Prajna?"

There was a trace of surprise on the face of Yixing's retinue: "It's really unbelievable, I didn't expect that I could follow you to fight together?"

Banruo gave him a cold look, and said expressionlessly, "It's not following me, it's following the lord."

Lothar asked, "What's your name, reserve knight?"

Hearing this, Hans quickly knelt down on one knee and saluted, "My name is Hans, and I come from the Teutonic Knights of East Prussia. It's an honor to be your follower."

Hans
How pitiful, even the name is so perfunctory.

Lothar felt a little regretful. As for what Hans said, "from the Teutonic Knights". In fact, he invented it in the background of the game, borrowing the coat of arms of the Teutonic Knights from history.

After all, this is just a one-star follower, so it would be best to save some money.

Of course, there is also the Teutonic Knights in this world, and they are currently also in the Holy Land. The full name is "The German Hospital Knights of St. Mary of Jerusalem", but there is no way to compare with the two major Knights of the Temple and the Hospital.
