Chapter 77 Ways to Make Money

The melodious howl of the wolf, the sorrow turns for a long time.

When Lothar heard the noise and rushed over, Hans had already put on the equipment he had taken off.

He picked up the bent armed sword on the ground, his face full of distress.

Although the quality has jumped to five stars, the armed sword that accompanied him to this world has not been upgraded, it is still just an ordinary weapon.

"Don't feel bad, I will let Marles recast a sword for you."

When Lothar came to the werewolf corpse, he was amazed at the size of the wolf corpse. He raised his head, stared at Hans, and asked, "Did you kill it?"

"Ah."

On Hans' face, there was a complex expression that looked forward to being praised, but was also afraid of being blamed.

After all, he was still a child.

Lothar felt emotional in his heart, but he showed a serious expression on his face: "Remember to notify in advance next time, don't act rashly, everything is about protecting yourself."

Hans scratched his head in embarrassment: "Sorry, my lord, I was indeed a little reckless this time. But I just want to find out how the werewolves in this world fight. You know, I am not born and bred The Wolf Clan of the Two Sicilies has no tradition of how werewolves fight."

"Besides, it's not convenient to transform yourself."

Lothar nodded: "It is indeed excusable."

Hussars are 100% loyal to Lothar.

But Lothar's current subordinates are not all hussars.

Hans pointed to the black werewolf's body and said with emotion: "This is a poor guy. I heard his confession. On a full moon night, he couldn't control the wildness of the werewolf and killed his wife and son. When he woke up, he found the scattered corpses of his wife and children lying at his feet. It is conceivable how painful it was.”

"He tried to seek salvation in the Holy Land, but unfortunately the Heavenly Father did not respond to him. In front of this pagan temple, he used wrong gestures to ask for help, and naturally he would not get a response."

"A poor man indeed."

Lothar sighed, the werewolf cannibalism is certainly hateful.

But the werewolves in this world are also cursed people, and many times their evil deeds are beyond their own control, which makes them look a bit pitiful.

But if you are pitiful, you will be killed if you encounter it again.

Hans said with some regret:
"My lord, if he can control his wildness, I would have wanted to recruit him for your lord. Such a huge werewolf is simply an invincible chariot on the battlefield."

Lothar shook his head and said: "The werewolf in this world is bloodthirsty, I dare not recruit as a subordinate, otherwise I will be excommunicated the next day. Come and transport the body of this werewolf back."

He planned to bring this wolf carcass back to Fringilla for research.

According to many legends in this world, as long as you are bitten by a werewolf, you will be infected and become a new werewolf, but Lothar thinks this statement is not very reliable.

If werewolves were really contagious like zombies, they would have already flooded.

At this time, there was a sound of footsteps in the distance.

A group of people with lanterns came slowly towards this side.

They were dressed in obvious alien costumes, and the well-informed hussars whispered: "It's Turkic. Earl Renard hired such a team under his command. It seems to be called Gazi Warriors."

Turks?
Lothar frowned.

Most of the Turkic tribes who kept moving westward were subject to the Sasanian king.

With a wave of his hand, the Sasanian king gave them Asia Minor, which did not belong to them, as a pasture.

And the Turks lived up to the reputation of bravery. Over the years, they continued to expand their power in Asia Minor, squeezing the power of the Eastern Empire to only the coastal cities such as Nicaea.

In other words, the power of the Turks is often located in Asia Minor, not in the Levant (in a narrow sense, only refers to the eastern Mediterranean coast). Why did they come to Jerusalem?

The leader was a Turkic man dressed as an aristocrat.

He asked in his half-baked Gaul language: "What's the matter? I seem to have heard wolves howling. Have wild wolves broken into the city?"

Lothar gave Ulm a wink, and he immediately understood, took two steps forward on his horse, and said sharply:

"Stop, don't come closer, this is Lothar, the head of the Royal Knights. Heretics, return to your house immediately, otherwise we will identify you as a suspicious person."

A Ghazi warrior drew his straight sword and said angrily, "You bastard! How dare you be so rude to my master!"

The hussars behind Lothar also immediately drew their swords.

The Turkic noble quickly waved his hand and said, "Don't get me wrong, I don't have any malicious intentions, I'm just worried that some wolves will break into the city and threaten our own safety."

Lothar said loudly: "You don't need to worry about the security issue in Jerusalem. Jerusalem has issued a ban. Please return to your house immediately."

The Turkic aristocrats stopped bothering and said simply: "Okay, I understand, please don't misunderstand our reason for coming, we will leave now!"

The Turkic nobles who walked away looked gloomy.

"Prince Jandar, shall we do it?"

"Don't be impatient!"

The Turkic nobleman known as Prince Jandar showed a hint of greed in his eyes: "I didn't expect that there would be a werewolf in this holy place of pagans. It's a pity, how to get it out of the hands of these Franks?" stolen body."

Not all Turkic people have converted to Zoroastrianism. Every nation has a group of stubborn old-fashioned people. For example, among the group of Turkic people who moved westward, a considerable number of them still stick to the shaman belief of Changshengtian.

And Prince Jandar is one of them.

In shamanism, there is an ancient technique that can inject the blood of beasts into warriors to create a group of warriors with beast blood. This is also the reason why Prince Jandar wanted to obtain the corpse of the werewolf.

Watch these guys leave.

Hans said, "There is something wrong with these Turks."

Lothar nodded and said: "Indeed, he couldn't stop staring at the black werewolf's body. If it wasn't for the heathen of the heathen in Jerusalem, I would have ignored Sanqi 21 and locked them up first." never mind."

The reason why Jerusalem still prospered and prospered after the brutal massacre by the Crusaders that year is closely related to its compatibility.

Baldwin IV is also committed to maintaining the relationship between believers of the two religions and developing peacefully.

As a royalist, it is impossible for him to act like Earl Leonard, who attacked the heathen caravan for no reason, or even robbed and killed nobles.

...

Early the next morning.

The news that the Royal Knights had killed a werewolf soon spread throughout Jerusalem.

Last night, that terrifying wolf howl was so penetrating that it almost resounded through most of Jerusalem. Many people still remember it vividly after waking up during the day.

Lothar is waiting, and perhaps soon, Archbishop William will come to the door in person, on the one hand to verify the authenticity of the matter, on the other hand, it is estimated that he will ask for the werewolf's body.

Bodies may then be burned in public, and a pageant will be held for this purpose, used for inspiration.

at this time.

Fringila was standing at the highest point of the tower of the palace and castle. She walked on the outer wall of the tower as if she violated the rules of gravity, and Lothar was terrified when she saw it.

"Silly man, can you give me a little space to be alone with the adults?"

"It is my duty to protect adults."

"Yesterday, you didn't follow the adults all the time!"

Banruo frowned, and found that he couldn't quibble, so he simply chose to remain silent as he always did.

Fulingira said angrily: "You scheming woman, when you hear something that doesn't suit you, you choose to pretend to be deaf and dumb."

Lothar stood up as a mediator at this time: "Most of the trophies obtained from the robbers have been transported to Jerusalem. The damaged ordnance and armor, which coincided with the shortage of ordnance in Jerusalem, were sold for a good price."

"I plan to buy several workshops with this money."

Fringila was a little surprised: "My lord, are you sure you can defend Jerusalem? If the city is destroyed, wouldn't your workshop be destroyed as well?"

"Because the war is approaching, many workshops and shops opened by pagans are selling at low prices. When I buy a workshop, I will not start working immediately. I just plan to take over the group of skilled workers."

Lothar intends to use engraving and printing to print theological classics. With the improved papermaking technology, there is no need to worry about sales in Jerusalem, which has a strong theological atmosphere.

Although many people at the bottom are illiterate, it is also good to use as a souvenir.

In addition, the improvement of dyes is also quite simple.

Thanks to the development of short videos in his previous life, as far as Lothar knows, there are many ways to improve dyes, such as using grape skins to dye expensive purple cloth.

The reason why the current purple dye is expensive is that the dye used by the dyers is a dye made from the juice secreted by the glands of shellfish, and the quantity is extremely rare.

It's just that this thing is too profitable, Lothar thought for a long time, and decided that before he became king, he still had to keep it in his mind.

In his world, the King of France dared to slander the Knights Templar, the coat of arms of two people riding the same horse, as homosexuality and exterminate it.

It is enough to see that wealth without strong armed protection is equivalent to neighbors hoarding guns and I hoarding food, and may make wedding dresses for others at any time.

In fact, Lothar didn't want to work hard all day while fulfilling the duties of the Grand Commander, while also thinking about making money.

There is no way, Yogryusburg is too barren, the only specialty is dates and other crops, the yield is not high, and it is not enough to exchange for food to fill the stomachs of all the citizens.

Of course, if the iron ore discovered by Marles is developed, it can be regarded as a good industry.

It's just that all of this has to be compromised for the war.
