Chapter 24 Getting ready to set off

What kind of Shura field is this?

Helping Prajna will obviously reduce Fringilla's intimacy.

And does Fringilla's intimacy matter?

This is beyond doubt.

He is only a knight now, but if he can share Fringilla's talent, he will be able to master the mysterious blood magic immediately and transform from a melee cannon fodder to a noble spellcaster.

In the game, for the sake of balance, Master may not be much better than shooters, warriors, and tanks. He even has major flaws such as being prone to sudden death and having short legs.

But this is reality!

Spellcasters are nobler than melee fighters.

But if he wants to help Fringilla, the relationship he has cultivated with Prajna with great difficulty may also have cracks.

Lothar didn't weigh much.

From a purely profit perspective, perhaps it would be more appropriate to speak for Fringilla.

But he has never been a cold machine who only cares about profit.

"Miss Fringilla, watch your words."

"I don't want you to have a conflict with my most trusted friend when you first arrive in this world, even verbally. As she said, I hope you can have a minimum of verbal respect for me, your master.

."

"This world is not simple. There are many people who are more powerful than you and Prajna."

"Even if you were once enemies, now that you are colleagues, you should work together."

"And you, Prajna, I know very well what kind of existence Fringilla is. So, if you are worried that I will be tempted by her, there is no need to do so."

"Um."

Prajna was still expressionless, but the sound of increased intimacy indicated that she was still very useful to Lothar helping her speak.

However, Fringilla's intimacy level not only did not decrease, but actually increased a little, which made Lothar a little confused.

Lothar took a deep breath and said, "Fringilla, come out with me and I will introduce you to my followers."

The two came to the corridor.

Lothar's tone paused slightly and said seriously: "I have to warn you in advance, restrain your vampire nature, don't attack my followers, and don't hurt ordinary people at will. This is not the Blood Palace, but a place with witches and vampires.

, demons exist, and the water is very deep in a different world. It is best not to reveal your uniqueness at will. "

"vampire?"

She licked the corner of her mouth: "There are also vampires in this world? I can't wait to see these same people and have them surrender under my skirt."

"If you can do it, you'll have a chance."

Lothar paused slightly, then emphasized: "Remember what I said."

Fringilla smiled and dwarfed, saying: "Of course, my respected lord, any orders you give will be obeyed unconditionally."

Lothar nodded: "Now, I have to take you to change clothes first. Although the clothes you are wearing are good-looking, they are too out of tune with this era."

"Okay, Lord."

Fringilla's attitude is very sweet.

But the sound of "Intimacy Decreased" coming from her ears still explained her mood.

I don’t know if it’s because he doesn’t want to be controlled, or because he doesn’t want to change his clothes?

Lothar took a deep look at Fringilla. She couldn't deal with this female vampire who had her heart cut open and both petals were black. She couldn't treat her like a Prajna.

In the setting, there are not even 10,000 but 8,000 humans who died at her hands.

She is an out-and-out female devil!

Lothar took Fringilla to get a set of women's clothing that was very common in this era and put it on.

Like Prajna, she was also required to wear a veil.

It's just that her hair is a rare white color, and she also wears an extra headscarf.

Ding ding ding——

The three consecutive notification sounds of decreased intimacy convinced Lothar that Fringilla was indeed very disgusted with changing into a set of clothes that she considered so ugly.

But Lothar was not in a hurry.

He had already recalled his original setting for Fringilla.

This is a bloody royal lady who lacks discipline and has been unscrupulous since she was a child.

His parents died in the divine court when he was young, and he lived alone in his luxurious palace.

Because of his superb talent and noble blood, he is a little devil that no one can control in the royal court.

On the surface, she is unscrupulous and seems to have the rebellious mentality of a child. She often ignores the ban, runs out of the royal court, and behaves wantonly in the world.

In fact, he has a heartfelt longing for family and love.

She actually expected someone to control her for her own good. To put it bluntly, she was a wild child who lacked the love of her elders.

The reason why Lothar chose to favor Prajna did not disappoint her, but increased her intimacy, because she had always disliked those who treated her differently because of their beauty.

In the setting, any man who is bewitched by her will have all his blood sucked out by her without hesitation.

Therefore, Lothar just needs to take good care of her and control her like a brother.

Even if she appears rebellious and unconvinced, the intimacy will only get higher and higher.

In the game, players need to become elites in order to unlock Fringilla's setting collection bit by bit. After reading these stories, they can then carry out strategies specifically.

But Lothar was different, no one knew the character of these followers better than him.

In a sense, all the retinues that can be extracted in the system are his children.

"Fringilla, this world is very dangerous. Prajna and I once encountered a witch who was more powerful than her. I know you love to be beautiful, but your safety is more important."

Lothar said earnestly.

Fringilla was slightly startled, snorted slightly, and said in a very impatient tone: "I understand, and I won't cause any trouble to you."

Lothar's tone softened: "I've wronged you."

The system beep sounded as expected.

Intimacy increases.

Veneto is located in the northeastern part of the Apennine Peninsula, between the Alps and the Adriatic Sea, and borders the Austrian Border Region to the north.

In the history of Lothar's previous life.

Veneto was also included in the rule of the Habsburg family for a long time, but that was many years after the decline of Mediterranean trade and the advent of the Age of Discovery.

Today, the Veneto region is controlled by the Republic of Venice.

As the undisputed king of the Adriatic Sea, it is one of the most powerful city-states in the entire Mediterranean.

At this time, the only one that could compete with the Venetians in the Mediterranean was the Genoese fleet.

Even the Eastern Empire, which occupied the Eastern Silk Road and was the former suzerain state of the Venetians and mastered the weapon of naval warfare such as Greek fire, had to reach compromises with the Venetians in many aspects.

In all the Crusades, if the army wanted to take the sea route, it would inevitably turn to the Venetian fleet.

The Republic of Venice was able to maintain its independent status even though most of the countries in the entire Apennine Peninsula were brought under the rule of the Germanic Empire.

Its strength is evident.

Although businessmen in this era are despised and ridiculed by others.

But no one can deny that the huge wealth they hold in their hands is beyond the reach of any feudal lord, even the emperor.

In this era, as long as you have money, you can organize a large number of elite mercenaries, who are far more brave and good at fighting than serf levies.

Len and Hans are back.

As soon as he entered the door, Ryan yelled in Swabian country slang: "These greedy, despicable, and disgusting pigs actually dare to offer a sky-high price of three gold coins for a ship ticket. They are just killing us like fat pigs."

!”

Model was a little confused and said: "Did you say we were going to the Holy Land to participate in the Holy War?"

"Say, that damn guy actually told me disapprovingly that if you can't even afford a boat ticket, you will become a hooligan when you get to the Holy Land, doing nothing all day long and bringing dust to the Holy Land."

"I really doubt whether the Venetians really believe in Heavenly Father! These people are no different from the Jews. They are all heretics who falsely believe in Heavenly Father!"

Lothar couldn't help laughing and said: "Maybe the Venetians believe in Hermes."

"Hermes?"

Ryan looked confused.

Hans explained: "It was a pagan god in charge of business that the Greeks once believed in."

In this era, the right to education was mostly in the hands of theologians.

Even as a lord or even a king, it is not uncommon to be illiterate.

Ryan suddenly understood and responded with some embarrassment: "Yes, these greedy Venetians are far less pious to the Father than they are to coins."

"During the last Crusade, the price was already agreed upon, but the Venetians dared to increase the price temporarily. That was because of the Pope's decree."

Lothar smiled and said: "It doesn't matter. Just because he offers such a high price does not mean that others will offer such a high price."

"Now is not the time when all the Crusaders are gathering in the Apennines. The main force of the Crusaders in Gaul is still preparing food and supplies, and they are still far away from Veneto."

"It's too early for them to raise the price. Tell them that if they insist on increasing the price, we will find the Genoese to take the boat."

As merchants, they traveled across the Mediterranean.

For a mere dozen cabins, if he dares to offer three gold coins per person, he is really being taken advantage of.

Lothar had no intention of coming forward in person. If he, a mere businessman, acted too approachable, he would be considered easy to bully.

It wasn't until the afternoon that Ryan and Hans came back again.

This time, although there was some dissatisfaction on both of their faces, it was completely different from the gloomy look they had before.

Lothar asked: "Have the talks concluded?"

"Well, the negotiation was settled, and each of us got a Souledes gold coin. The businessmen also wanted to make a loophole in the contract and put us in the bottom cabin. Thanks to Hans's literacy, we were recognized."

Lothar frowned.

Hard.

The fist is hard.

Lothar was a little confused: "Is there anyone else we can negotiate with?"

He didn't want to take the ship of such a dishonest merchant. He was afraid that instead of going to the Holy Land, he would want to sell them to North Africa to be slaves.

Of course, the only consequence of doing this is that they successfully counterattack and gain a ship's worth of wealth.

The guards hired by the caravan are no match for them.

Ryan shook his head and said: "No, it is said that the route to Crete has been temporarily interrupted because of the recent presence of sea monsters. We have to follow their caravan to the port to take a boat tomorrow."

"All right."

Lothar nodded. He did not plan to stay in Veneto for another month. He would arrive at the Holy Land earlier and start the plan to obtain the fiefdom earlier.

With the system in hand, if you develop it for a month or two, the result may be a world of difference.

As for the Kraken?

He didn't think that with Fringilla here, he couldn't defeat some monsters that relied solely on charming people and being stronger.

"Then it's settled."

"Ryan, Model, Hans, the three of you will organize the leaders to purchase a batch of metal spearheads and shields later. If the bandits still have usable weapons, you can keep them as backup. I plan to first take the male leaders.

The people were classified as spearmen."

Lancers are cheaper and less difficult to train than sword-and-shielders.
