In the Middle Ages, people drew cards to be promoted to nobility.

Lothar said: "Hans, how much do you know about my current situation?"

Hans looked apologetic: "Sorry, Lord, I don't know much. Is this world the historical Middle Ages?"

"Yes, but not quite."

Lothar nodded, briefly summarized his current situation and the background of the current era, and told Hans.

The Crusades were also a key node for the Teutonic Knights.

Hans was born in the Teutonic Knights, so he would naturally have some knowledge of the history of this period.

Hans suddenly said: "So that's it...are there also Teutonic Knights in this world?"

"Of course, it just doesn't have much influence yet."

"I am a knight of the Habsburg family. You should have heard of this famous name. But that was in later generations. The current Habsburg family has not yet become prosperous. The former is the only two heirs. The latter was me in the backwaters of Switzerland, on my way to the Holy Land.”

Hans said respectfully: "With you here, I have no doubt that the Habsburg family will still rise as recorded in our world."

"Oh, I accept your good advice. Hans, from today on, you will be my attendant. I will promote you to a real knight after you have made enough achievements."

"When the time comes, you can use a black eagle on a white background or a black cross on a white background as your personal coat of arms."

Lothar put the armed sword in his hand on his shoulder: "Now, swear allegiance to me."

"Hans, are you willing to swear allegiance to me and be my loyal knight for the rest of your life, serving me with your courage, force and wisdom?"

Hans immediately knelt down on one knee and said respectfully: "Father in heaven, I swear that I will dedicate my loyalty to my master Lothar, abide by the virtues of knights, be loyal, and never leave the left and right."

The system's prompt sounds: the intimacy level between you and your servant "Hans" has been increased to friendly.

"It's really simple."

Lothar was a little helpless. Compared with Prajna, it was too easy for Hans to increase his intimacy.

However, even a low-star retinue is equivalent to a good combat power, and his strength is definitely much stronger than the two "attendants" he brought from Eagle Castle.

But after all, they are only in the category of ordinary people, and there is no way to compare with the high-star followers who are little supermen per capita.

I hope that the next time I draw cards, I can get myself a high-star output-type follower.

Lothar introduced Hans to Ryan and Model and left.

He had no intention of letting Hans share a room with him.

Ryan looked at Hans's sophisticated equipment and was a little in disbelief: "Hans, are you really the lord's new servant, and not the illegitimate son of some high-ranking lord?"

Model's face was full of envy: "Not many formal knights can afford this equipment, right?"

"Do you have Viking horns on your helmet? It's so impressive!"

Hans looked a little embarrassed and said with a smile: "It's just a decoration. I brought my own equipment to serve you. I once trained as a knight in a monastery, but I didn't get the official knight title."

…

The night is getting darker.

Prajna brown eyes reflected the flickering candlelight, and her long black hair, like a waterfall, hung between her snow-white arms.

She is like a sculpture. She doesn't talk much in her spare time, and she doesn't do any little tricks to relieve her boredom.

It can seem boring at times.

But beautiful people are like works of art themselves. They are pleasing to the eye even if they do nothing.

At this time, a hint of surprise suddenly flashed in her cold eyes.

She looked back at Lothar and asked, "What did you do?"

Lothar raised his head and pointed at the pile of gold coins on the table that had lost their golden color and turned dull. All the gold in them had been extracted.

"I just studied the krypton gold system and upgraded you to level ten. I didn't expect it to be so expensive."

After winning the first battle, his own level bar also moved upwards, just shy of reaching level 2.

However, the effect of his upgrade is limited. The reason why the six-star retinue is powerful, in addition to its powerful skills, is that it can gain six attribute points every time it is upgraded.

As a lord, he can only obtain three attribute points each time he upgrades.

But fortunately, if the intimacy between the lord and the subordinate is high enough, he can still use the subordinate's skills. In the future, he may not be able to defeat the six-star subordinate, but his combat effectiveness will never be low.

"The money in your hands is limited, so don't spend it on me. My current strength is enough for the time being. If you encounter a strong enemy, it's not too late to improve it temporarily."

Prajna frowned.

Throughout the ages, if you want to make a career, you cannot do it without money.

Recruit troops and purchase equipment.

A heavily armed armored knight, if used properly on the battlefield, can easily defeat several times or even dozens of times the Magyar light cavalry encountered before.

But the money it costs to arm a knight is not a small amount even for a king.

Lothar's face was full of smiles, and he might have taken it seriously if the system hadn't prompted the sound of an increase in "intimacy".

He said, "Well, that's all for now. When we secure a territory in Jerusalem and make a lot of money, we will definitely upgrade you to the full level."

Prajna nodded slightly: "Thank you."

Lothar said: "It's getting late. We have to continue our journey tomorrow. Let's rest early."

"Good night."

"Um."

Late at night.

The street suddenly became extremely quiet, the chirping of insects and the croaking of frogs all disappeared. It was as if I had witnessed such a terrifying giant thing, and I was so frightened that I didn't dare to speak at all.

Lothar, who was sleeping soundly, felt a strong sense of crisis surge into his heart, and the hairs on his body stood up.

He opened his eyes and found Prajna standing by the window, staring out the window.

He looked questioning.

Prajna shook his head, pointed out the window, and motioned to Lothar to look closer.

Lothar came to the window, and when she saw it, she suddenly broke into a cold sweat.

In the streets outside the window, a huge python as big as a train, covered in black scales, was slowly crawling through the muddy road in the center of the town.

A deep ravine was left in the mud behind him.

At this time, it seemed to have noticed the gazes of the two people. Its head, which was about to go away, was raised high and stretched out in front of the two people on the second floor of the hotel.

Keng——

The black ghost-faced shield was erected in front of her by Prajna, and a terrifying breath of death floated up. Her black hair danced wildly, automatically without wind, and the terrifying momentum was like a storm, flying up all the furnishings in the room.

This was the first time for Lothar to see that Prajna possessed such terrifying power. For a moment, she couldn't believe that there was such awe-inspiring majesty in her delicate body.

The python's emotionless eyes were like two big lanterns, confronting Prajna.

Although it doesn't seem to have any emotional fluctuations, in fact it has regarded Prajna as a major enemy that can threaten itself, and its scales have begun to move regularly.

for a long time.

The giant python lowered its head and crawled toward the distance.

Lothar breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's gone?"

Prajna nodded: "Well, it's not sure of defeating me, or in other words, even if it can defeat me, it's afraid of being hit hard."

"Prajna, you are so powerful!"

Prajna shook his head: "Actually no, this giant python is very strong and is definitely not something I can fight against now. The reason why it was scared away was because it was scared by my breath."

Lothar nodded: "I understand."

In the setting, the full level is the true state of the six-star retinue. The recharge increase is just to unlock the seal on the retinue.

Even if the strength is not up to standard, the "personality" is still there.

"What kind of monster is this?"

"have no idea."

Prajna shook his head, and his tone was rare and solemn: "It seems that this world is really not simple."
