Chapter 128 Rewards for Being Promoted to Earl

The lady opened her mouth slightly.

The eyes of the hooded female vampire, hidden in the shadows, also revealed a hint of disbelief.

How did this seemingly incompatible combination come together?

"Vampires, werewolves, and a witch who claims to be a knight?"

How on earth did we offend them, so that these guys who should be beaten to death when they meet come together to deal with us? "

The two vampires didn't believe that Jeanne was a knight at all, because the aura on her body was not something ordinary people could possess.

The scorching heat was like the midday sun, and the radiant blood made vampires who were naturally afraid of light feel like their whole bodies were about to burn.

Hans said solemnly: "You two ladies, we have to get rid of these two vampires quickly, and we can't let them interfere with the canonization ceremony of the Lord."

He held up a sword flower in a dazzling manner.

Although his "gun and sword" talent was written on the panel with great fanfare, it was actually slightly better than Jeanne's swordsmanship, which was not mentioned at all on the panel.

But for their level, being strong is also strong.

It is not an exaggeration for Hans to give himself the title of "Sword Master".

Fringilla objected: "No! This is my first time seeing a local vampire. Wouldn't it be too boring to deal with it so easily?"

Jeanne raised a heroic eyebrow and said with a smile: "Then let's play a little longer. With me in charge, these two little vampires can't do anything."

Fringilla snorted softly.

If Jeanne had a system, she would definitely be able to hear the hints of increased favorability. Girls like Fulin are the most susceptible to this trick.

A pair of small and delicate fangs were exposed at the corners of her mouth.

The magic power of blood swirled around her rapidly.

Opposite, the two vampires knew that this battle was inevitable, their eyes turned scarlet, they also stretched out two fangs, and their skin became a little shriveled.

Black magic flowed on the surface of their pale skin, like black snakes swimming.

"go to hell!"

The lady gave a shrill cry.

A ghostly figure appeared behind Fringilla.

But this voice did not cause waves.

As Fringilla's level increases, blood magic that was originally unable to be cast is gradually unlocked. For example, the current blood barrier can perfectly isolate the movement here.

laugh--

The long sword made of blood-colored crystals pierced the noble lady's clothes and made a bloody gash on her chest.

A large amount of viscous plasma spurted out from the wound. They squirmed as if alive and quickly condensed into a sharp claw, grabbing at Fringilla.

But before this bloody hand touched Fringilla, it turned into a pool of pus and blood, dripping to the ground.

"Ha, you two are worthy of controlling blood in front of me?"

Fringilla said enthusiastically.

Hans held an armed sword and asked: "Miss Flynn, do you want me to share an enemy with you?"

"No need at all!"

Fringilla said proudly.

After finally encountering two opponents who were not that weak and whose strength was completely crushed and restrained by her in all aspects, she didn't want to deal with them so easily.

At this time, the vampire, shrouded in a hood, seemed to realize that he was outmatched, and suddenly exploded into a ball of blood mist, and left quickly.

The next moment, a golden light flashed.

Throw a spear through the blood mist.

Before the vampire could let out a scream, he turned into countless black ash and fell to the ground.

The lady looked at her companion in horror, her body trembling.

Jeanna opened her hand, retracted the holy spear, and said with a smile: "Ha, if you want to run away, you will also end up like this. If you want to live a little longer, just play with our Miss Flynn for a while."

A mixture of despair and anger suddenly emerged in the noble lady's heart.

What happened to this world?

When did we, noble and evil vampires like us, be played like beasts in the Colosseum of the ancient empire!

"You guys are a bunch of villains!"

"Can't we just run away?"

Jeanne sneered: "The premise is that you must first pay the price for your assassination."

The lady couldn't help but shed tears of grievance: "I surrender, I am willing to surrender to you, noble daughter of the Tepesh clan, as long as you forgive my life."

The lengthy ceremony finally came to an end.

The king's chariot, under people's gaze, slowly drove towards the towering palace in the distance.

Lothar was riding on horseback, and the continuous beeps from the system in his ears made his ears ring a little.

He opened his personal panel, and the values ​​​​on it were very different from the beginning.

You have completed a new milestone: Real Estate Tycoon [You already own more than ten manors or workshops. Even without a title, you are still a wealthy businessman, but you must remember that wealth without the protection of power is ' The robbers' eyes are a fat sheep waiting to be slaughtered]

Reward: All production equipment of the iron smelting workshop (including blast furnace, hydraulic forging hammer, etc.)

During the next journey, Lothar was a little absent-minded. The generous reward of being promoted to earl washed away all the sleepiness he still had.

He now felt the urge to return to his fiefdom.

A complete iron smelting workshop, with the blacksmith Malus presiding over it, is bound to have the ability to continuously produce high-quality plate armor.

Even if these plate armors are not used to arm their own soldiers, they can be sold to the princes and nobles as high-quality armors at sky-high prices.

Because even excluding the flexibility advantage of plate armor, from a purely aesthetic point of view, bright plate armor is far better than dark chain armor, and those princes and nobles who are keen on comparison are happy to pay for it.

In addition, they can mass-produce inferior breastplates and half-plate armor to arm their own troops.

At the end of the Middle Ages in the previous life, as steel production surged, a free man could buy a good breastplate with less than a year's salary.

There is also an iron mine under development near Sego, affiliated with Yogurtsburg. Based on this calculation, a complete production line has been formed.

There is also the Ancient Tree of Life!

Although the Earldom of Transjordan has developed commerce, it is still relatively wealthy.

But the biggest disadvantage is that there are too many desert areas. If these deserts can be utilized to form large oasis, it is self-evident what this means.

There is also a statue of an angel, which is simply an artifact of stability.

As for the one hundred "Retained Veterans Brigade", Lothar had never heard of such a unit. It sounded like a unit that maintained law and order like town guards.

However, there are a full hundred people in number. Lothar plans to directly recruit unarmed and untrained recruits and transfer them to different professions, which can greatly enhance Lothar's existing power.

The greatest advantage of soldiers who have been transferred through the system is their loyalty!

No matter how impatient he was, Lothar couldn't return to Hebron immediately.

Tonight, he had to stay vigil at the Cathedral of the Holy Sepulchre and perform fasting, prayer and other rituals.

At this time, the heraldry officer came forward and asked Lothar about his design plan for his new coat of arms.

Lothar thought for a moment and then said: "The symbol of the earldom of Transjordan is a green eagle looking to the left. Let's put it together with my original coat of arms to make a double-headed eagle coat of arms."

He took out a bag of coins and handed it to the other party: "The materials for the seal and ring should be more sophisticated. The extra coins will be a reward for the craftsman and you."

The heraldry officer showed a flattering smile: "Thank you for your generosity, Count Lothar."

In fact, a more legitimate approach would be to add the standing lion emblem of the Habsburg family to the coat of arms.

It means that Lothar was born in the Habsburg family, but is not the first heir.

Lothar can now be regarded as the founder of the Habsburg-Transjordan branch. If his descendants settle here, they may change their surname to Hebron in a few years.

But Lothar was not very keen on making his coat of arms as colorful as the other knights. It seemed that with each additional pattern and connections with more nobles, he became more noble.

Although this was somewhat unruly, heraldry in this era was not yet as rigorous as it would be a few hundred years later.
