Chapter 156 Raymond’s Plate Armor

Early in the morning, there were heavy clouds.

There was a faint earthy smell in the air, as if a heavy rain was about to fall at any time.

"Compared to the desert inland, the climate in Jerusalem is already a paradise. No wonder most nobles are unwilling to stay in their fiefdoms."

According to the geography of the previous life, Jerusalem should have a subtropical Mediterranean climate. Although there will be less precipitation in summer, it is not uncommon.

Lothar washed his face at the edge of the fountain, and the cold spring water made him scream happily.

Fringilla handed over a towel and asked tentatively: "Sir, you didn't explain clearly last night. What is your relationship with that woman Jeanne?"

"what relationship."

Lothar considered it and asked, "Flin, who is the Sun King in your memory?"

Fringilla asked in return: "Are you talking about the king of the Bourbon family, Louis XIV? Although I don't care about human history, this point is still clear."

"Sure enough, a simulated battle is just a simulation."

Lothar sighed softly.

He originally speculated whether after this simulated war, the Sun King in history would become Charles VII - after all, the history of the "Yesterday's Giant Ship" world was originally created by him based on real history. .

Fulin was puzzled: "What do you mean?"

"Let's put it this way, I had a dream. I dreamed that I became Charles VII, won the Hundred Years War, and won the title of Sun King in advance."

"And Jeanne is my most powerful right-hand man."

Recalling the scene in his dream, he actually felt like he was in another world.

Although he is now a [Lord] template, unlike his followers, whose attribute points must be distributed proportionally by default, the attribute points he obtains from upgrading can still be distributed freely.

This should also be considered a privilege.

After he woke up last night, he first allocated ten attribute points to mental power, not only because his most powerful method was still blood magic, but also because he could feel the Dragonborn bloodline in his body being further revived recently. , which continues to have an impact on him.

This is a subtle process.

Make his behavior more consistent with the characteristics that a "superior person" should have.

It's hard to say whether this change is good or bad, or even whether it's all influenced by the dragonborn's bloodline, or whether human nature is fickle - but he still instinctively rejects it.

Of the remaining ten attribute points, four are allocated to physical strength to break through the twenty mark, and half of the remaining six points are allocated to strength and half to agility.

After possessing the Shining Cross Sword, his melee combat ability has also increased. With close combat spells such as Blood Falls, his combat power has soared.

"Just the right-hand man?"

Fringilla was still a little suspicious of Lothar's answer.

In her opinion, although Jeanne is not very beautiful - definitely not as beautiful as her, but she is still very beautiful. They have had the same dream, and they have been together for such a long time, but there are no sparks?

Prajna on the side was packing his luggage, but his movements slowed down a little.

"Yes, in the dream, we are very close comrades-in-arms."

"Then you call her 'honey'?"

Lothar asked: "Does this mean anything?"

Seeing Lothar's calm expression, Fringilla felt relieved and said, "Okay."

"Dear" is indeed a very common title. Lothar also used this title when he wrote to Philip, Duke of Burgundy during the mock battle.

"I seem to hear you talking about me?"

Jeanne held "Grape" and walked towards this side. Her face was obviously not as carefree as usual, as if she didn't care about anything, and there was a hint of heaviness between her eyebrows.

"You heard wrong."

Fringilla hummed with some lack of confidence.

Jeanne mocked: "Do you know that those who lie will swallow a thousand needles?"

Lothar said: "Okay, let's set off."

The group mounted their horses and prepared to leave Jerusalem.

Jeanne suddenly said: "Today, the weather is very similar to the decisive battle between the British and British forces under the city of Reims."

Lothar was convinced: "Yes, so we have to walk faster if we don't want to get soaked in the rain. Just because it didn't rain in Lance that day doesn't mean it won't rain today."

Jeanne hesitated for a moment and then said: "Sir, do you need me to hold the flag for you?"

Lothar shook his head: "It doesn't have to be like this. It was just a dream. It might be a bit more real, but you don't need to change our relationship because of it."

He paused slightly and then asked: "What I'm curious about is, after the victory of the war, why did you choose to give up the title I bestowed on you and leave France?"

Jeanna frowned, thought for a moment, and said, "Maybe it's because the real you has left."

"Can you feel it?"

Jeanne nodded.

After the Battle of Reims City, he was indeed in a state of trusteeship.

Jeanne's expression was a little complicated: "Sir, who is you?"

"Yes. I heard that after you were captured by the Burgundians, I was the one who led 3,000 people and went to fight against the Burgundians regardless of their own abilities. I chatted with you at Chinon Castle and taught you to participate in politics. Join forces to regain Paris, Reims, shine brightly, and I am the one who is honored with the title of Sun King."

Fringilla was a little confused when she heard this.

Jeanne seemed to understand it completely, she said softly: "I understand."

"Thanks."

Lothar shook his head and said: "If you are referring to the first time, there is really nothing to thank you for. As your comrade, I don't even have the money to raise a ransom, so I had to bring someone to force it myself!"

Anyway, it’s not like there’s no chance to come back? "

In the first simulation, although history was restored, there was still a high probability of winning the Hundred Years War script - it was just that he didn't want to win in such a useless way.

Jeanne couldn't help laughing and said: "This is not what a king should do."

"Indeed, but this is what a friend should do."

After speaking, Lothar shouted: "Let's go back to Hebron!"

The group had just left the manor under the banner of a double-headed eagle.

A well-dressed servant came towards me: "Your Majesty, are you leaving Jerusalem?"

"yes."

Lothar recognized that this man was the servant sent by Sibylla to invite him to the manor for a banquet.

He should not only be a servant and be able to wear the coat of arms of his master, but he should also be at least a quasi-noble like a knight's squire.

"Sir, you have only been in Jerusalem for a day, why are you leaving in such a hurry?"

The attendant did not mention the last invitation or Lothar's failure to make the appointment at all, and chatted warmly with Lothar.

"I can't help it. I'm a newly promoted earl, and I haven't secured the throne yet. How can I just let go of my territory and waste my time in Jerusalem?"

The attendant smiled and admonished: "You are joking. How can you say that you are wasting your time in Jerusalem? This is the center of power of the entire kingdom."

"Yes, people say that this city is the center of power of the entire kingdom."

Lothar's voice became a little inaudible.

"But people who are good at playing with power may never understand that there is a saying - the one who has strong soldiers and horses will do it."

Lothar whispered: "Servant, Baron Godfrey and I are the most solid allies. We advance and retreat in the same direction. Instead of wasting time on me, it is better to change the target."

After that, he led his soldiers and retinues and galloped through the streets.

The attendant was left standing there, looking at Lothar's leaving figure with some astonishment.

At Raymond's mansion.

Under the attire of a servant, Regent Raymond wore elaborate plate armor with a red background and a hollow yellow cross emblem printed on the chest.

This piece of plate armor is silver-white in color, with a large number of golden lions, crosses, golden fleur-de-lis on it, and is also inlaid with gold edges.

In Lothar's view, the patterns on this plate armor were too gaudy.

But Raymond is obviously very satisfied with it.

The aesthetics of the aristocrats of this era were very simple - the more gorgeous, the better-looking.

He turned around in front of the huge bronze mirror and took pictures, with an unstoppable smile on his face: "I thought this kind of armor would be very bulky, but I didn't expect that it wouldn't affect my movements at all."

This refined plate armor fit Raymond perfectly.

Because Lothar specifically asked Mallus to build it according to Raymond's figure.

Mallus had met Raymond once, but perhaps this was the skill of a master craftsman. He could make a perfect fit without using calipers to measure inch by inch.

The other was tailored to the figure of Lord Godfrey.

As for those ordinary plate armors, they are mass-produced versions, but with chain armor, armed clothing and other linings, the defensive power is actually not much different.

In the plate armor era, knights who were too fat or too thin would often exchange or sell their family armor if they were short of money after inheriting their father's armor.

If it were some big nobles, they would either give ill-fitting plate armor to their subordinates, or simply hang it on an armor stand as a decoration.

The servant sincerely praised: "Sir, you do look more heroic in this outfit."

Regent Raymond said solemnly: "Count Lothar sent me a gift immediately after the court meeting. Does that mean that he wants to get closer to me?"

In fact, he has no essential conflict with the royal party, and his personal relationship with Baron Godfrey is not bad. At this court meeting, he worked together with the royal party to implement the policy of forming a new standing army.

The servant was silent and did not answer any questions.

Because he knew that his master was not asking him, but was just talking to himself unconsciously when thinking. At this time, it was best to treat himself as air.

"That's right. He doesn't have enough strength at hand. He is just an empty count. Leonard of Chatillon will not obey him."

Whether a lord can control his vassals depends entirely on his own powerful means.

Lothar's strength is still too weak in Raymond's opinion.

"Losa is a talented person. If he and Godfrey join forces, they can be equivalent to most of the southern kingdom in name. It is worth winning over."
