Chapter 135 Family Motto

Early in the morning, Lothar woke up from her sleep.

Facing the faint morning light coming from the window.

A cold greeting sounded in Lothar's ears.

"Good morning."

Outside the curtain.

Prajna was lying on a soft couch covered with brocade, holding a book in his hand and said: "Last night, I compiled the first volume of Songs of Winter and Summer."

The word "organizing" is a bit of an understatement. In fact, it also includes polishing, revising, and filling--this is a big project.

Although Lothar's memory has improved significantly due to the improvement of his mental power, it is impossible to be accurate word for word when dictating. There are still many details that need to be filled in for his story.

So Prajna is actually an excellent novelist?

"Actually, there's no need to be in such a hurry."

Lothar explained: "Because the printing workshop has not been moved here, even if you sort it out, you can't print it."

"Um."

Prajna was silent for a moment: "I know, but I have nothing else to do."

Guarding the gate of hell is a boring life.

"Do you want to take a nap?"

Prajna hesitated for a moment and said: "No, but I want to take a bath, so during this time, please be sure to stay with Knight Jeanna and Flynn."

Lothar couldn't help laughing and said: "Of course, no problem. Do you need me to prepare hot water for you?"

The five Persian female slaves given to him by Saleh are still in Yogurtsburg. This time, Ulm is sent back to pick up the blacksmith Malus, and he also has the idea of ​​​​bringing them back.

Such a large castle cannot be cared for entirely by guards.

Things like taking care of women are also inconvenient.

Prajna shook his head slightly and said, "No need, hot or cold water makes no difference to me."

"good."

Before looking for Fringilla and Jeanne, he first drew cards for the new week.

Because there is no hope, it is also very casual.

But surprisingly, although the rewards were average and even repeated, they met Lothar's needs.

The reward is a first-level city wall, which can strengthen the first-level city wall of Yogurtsburg to the second level.

However, since Lothar has the idea of ​​building a new city, he will naturally not use this reward on Yogurtsburg.

It is destined not to be the center of gravity of one's rule.

When building a city in the desert, stones were too difficult to find, so he originally wanted to build a wooden castle first.

In this way, at least the problem of the castle's outer wall, a major consumer of stone, has been solved. The next step is to see when Ulm can explore a location that meets his requirements and plant the Tree of Life.

In the lobby on the first floor.

Jeanne was holding a wine glass and receiving a glass of fragrant wine from the oak barrel.

Seeing Lothar coming down, she said casually: "My lord, what is your family motto? It may not have been important when you were just a baron, but now you are an earl. If you don't even have a family motto, But people will laugh at you."

Lothar was stunned for a moment.

He ignored this.

It also has something to do with the times. Heraldry and other knowledge in this era are not yet perfect. In a hundred years, let alone the earl, even the knight family will basically have a motto of their own.

He subconsciously thought of "A.E.I.O.U", translated as - Austria will have the last laugh.

A more domineering translation is - all the earth in the world is auspicious.

But this was obviously inappropriate, because at this time the Habsburg family had not yet taken over Austria, which was still in the hands of Count Leopold of the Babenberg family.

"This is really difficult for you."

Family mottos often don't need to be complicated, simple and easy to understand is best, but because of this, Lothar couldn't think of what to pick for a while.

"I'll come, I'll meet, I'll conquer, how about that?"

Jeanne raised her eyebrows: "With all due respect, sir, this will make you look like a war madman, and the person who said this will not end well."

These words were spoken by Gaius Julius Caesar when he defeated the Pontus in Anatolia. Later, he was betrayed by his adopted son Brutus and assassinated with the senators.

Lothar asked with implicit sarcasm: "What should the design be? Do I bring peace to the world?"

Jeanne smiled and said: "Why don't we call it the beautiful wine and delicious food that you can't live up to? It means eating well and drinking well."

Lothar: "."

Outside the castle, there was the sound of horse hooves.

A burst of exclamations sounded immediately.

Among the remaining veterans of the castle guard, no one had ever seen such a majestic giant like Mallus. They were all dumbfounded: "Is this also your lord's servant?"

"Oh my God, he is the Malus that Master Model mentioned, right? If I look at it, he should be called Malus (God of War)!"

"Malus is back?"

Lothar stood up in surprise.

The blacksmith shop prepared for him is the biggest money bag in Lothar's future plan for the territory.

Not just the carved, refined full-body plate armor that was ready to be sold to wealthy lords of all parties.

There are also inferior breastplates that are easy to mass-produce. This kind of armor is almost made of two steel plates. Its defensive power is reasonable and the cost is very low. In the late Middle Ages, even the spearmen holding spears in the phalanx were Affordable.

In addition, a dyeing workshop is also being prepared.

Cloth dyed with grape skins is not so easy to fade due to the addition of alum ore, but the color is lighter, not as deep as mussel purple, and is durable.

Moreover, Lothar's experiments with some natural dyes are still in progress.

Although Lothar's investigation revealed that there was no purple dye that could replace Murex Purple, the Gauls knew how to dye purple using lichen, moss and other materials.

However, this kind of purple has shortcomings such as uneven color reception and easy fading.

The one dyed with grape skin is much stronger.

In addition, there is another problem. In this era, due to the relationship with the church, people generally advocate simplicity. In holy places with a strong religious atmosphere, most of the clothes you see every day are black and white clothes.

In short, there are many difficulties faced, and the dyed cloth may not be popular.

But give it a try, it doesn’t cost much anyway.

Lothar also plans to promote Grape Purple in the "new book", the "Song of Winter and Summer", and render it as a color that, according to the "ritual system", is exclusive to the royal family in Westeros. Apart from snail purple, it is the only purple color that princes can enjoy.

Anyway, the production of Murex Purple cannot meet the needs of noble gentlemen. In other words, the vast majority of nobles simply cannot afford Murex Purple.

The meager output every year is monopolized by the wealthy Eastern Empire, and it is not considered a competitor to Grape Purple at all.

Mallus, Ulm, and Pepin strode into the palace.

During this time, the giant's skin became darker.

His strong and plump muscles and giant-like height made Lothar couldn't help but think about how brave this man would be if he were a warrior model, wearing heavy armor and running rampant on the battlefield.

"Malus, you have worked hard during this time."

Mallus shook his head and said, "Sir, this is not hard work for me. I have something to report to you."

He paused slightly, and without waiting for Lothar's reply, he said: "In the mine in Sego Village, I found a giant beast estimated to be ten meters in size."

Lothar's expression became serious as she listened.

In Transjordan County, it is not that there are no other iron mines.

But the iron ore near Sego is not only less difficult to mine, but the quality of the iron ore produced is also very good, and it happens to belong to its own territory.

Should we give up this iron mine because of a giant beast?

Lothar was thinking about it.

At this time, the system prompts: Activating Milestone: Dragon Slaying.

In your territory, a sleeping earth dragon appears. It feeds on iron ore and can roam freely underground.

Now, it has occupied an iron mine in your territory, which is a great provocation to you, the lord.

Kill it and bathe yourself in the dragon's blood.

You will complete the milestone - slaying the dragon.

And your Dragonborn bloodline will allow you to absorb its essence and gain a certain number of attribute point blessings.

"Is it actually a dragon?"

Lothar looked heavy.

"Marrus, what do you think I should do?"

Mallus was silent for a moment and said: "My lord, that is your territory. You cannot just sit idly by and ignore it."

"Indeed, what you said makes sense."

Lothar stood up and said: "Please follow me first. I have built a blacksmith shop with a full set of tools for you. Killing the evil beast that slaughtered the people of my territory is what I should do. I will never Will refuse."

Mallus's face showed a touch of emotion: "Hey, I'm sorry, sir, that monster is very dangerous. It is not easy to destroy it. The loss or need is greater than a village."

Lothar shook his head and said: "This is the obligation that as a lord, you must protect the people of your territory. How can it be measured by the pros and cons?"

If there are no milestones.

To be honest, Lothar really doesn't necessarily want to go.

Now, it depends on the age of this dragon.

The Earth Dragon is not a powerful dragon species, and it doesn't even have wings.

But if they are adult earth dragons, their scales are extremely strong. Since they are covered with a layer of iron ore, they are not afraid of the magic-blocking gold at all. If they want to appear in the territory of other lords, it is basically impossible to deal with them. .

He learned all this knowledge through heraldry and Anna Witch of the Levant Witch Association.

In short, let’s go and investigate on the spot first.

To collect a family motto, please leave a message in this chapter. I decided to copy the book review.
