In the Middle Ages, people drew cards to be promoted to nobility. - Chapter 726
c723 Dragon Taming
Jeanne was delighted to hear this: “The Bourbon kid who is in power now is really capable of beating the British. After this war, his prestige may surpass Napoleon’s.”
The prestige of the Napoleon family was originally the highest among all the French royal families, but unfortunately Napoleon III emerged and became a stepping stone for Emperor Franz the Great to unify Germany.
Viviana hesitated to speak. As the eldest daughter of the Hohenzollern family, she couldn’t help but worry about her family and motherland. After all, that war was a disaster that killed and injured tens of millions of people in Losa’s words.
Standing at the crater.
Losa opened his hand, and the gold stored in the king’s ring on his finger fell in batches.
These beautiful golden elves immediately attracted the attention of the demon dragon Ladon. It pretended to be indifferent and hummed: “A gift for meeting? Then I will accept it with pleasure.”
As it said, the head in the middle opened its mouth eagerly, and the poisonous head next to it was not to be outdone. It hummed and opened its mouth quickly: “Pour it here, pour it here!”
However, these gold coins quickly lost their color when they fell into the air.
The gold faded, replaced by lead gray, and then turned into a burst of flying ash.
“Hey, hey, what are you doing?”
“My money!”
The demon dragon, who was looking heartbroken, suddenly swelled up a circle, and he shouted excitedly: “I’m back, I’m back! My power is back, praise you, the great Lord of the Old Days!”
His body continued to expand as the gold coins fell, and soon it expanded more than ten times from the original one meter long.
When the last gold coin fell, what appeared in front of everyone was a huge beast that was more than ten meters long.
“Why did it stop?”
The cheerful dragon was stunned, and the three heads looked at him unwillingly.
“Why, you are not convinced?”
Lothar’s tone was a little unkind. He upgraded you to the maximum level as soon as they met, but the intimacy was still “cold”. You know, he is not rich now, and this little money is earned by collecting “junk”.
The flame dragon head in the middle snorted: “It’s not that I am not convinced, but I feel that my current strength is unlikely to help the captain. If I can recover to the peak period, I promise to serve you sincerely.”
The poisonous head next to him gritted his teeth: “Captain, do you have to force me to kneel down and beg you?”
The cursed head looked helpless and didn’t want to pay attention to his two stupid brothers at all.
Lothar sneered: “It’s good enough to let you recover so much.”
“Okay, I understand.”
The Flame Head snorted two flames from his nostrils: “Don’t you have to work to get the benefits?”
The Curse Head showed a somewhat flattering smile. It was hard to imagine that a dragon could squeeze out such a subtle expression on his face: “If we can recover our strength with gold, Captain, does it count if the three of us go out hunting by ourselves?”
Lothar shook his head decisively and said: “No.”
God knows whether this guy will rob his vassals.
The Flame Head was furious when he heard this: “This is not okay, and that is not okay.”
The Toxic Head next to him hurriedly tried to smooth things over: “Well, if it’s not okay, then it’s not okay. That. Captain, why don’t we talk about our next treatment? How about this, you pay tribute of two cows and five sheep every month, don’t use big animals like camels to make up the number… and there must be a pair of human sacrifices every month, regardless of gender.”
“Human sacrifice?”
The smile on Lothar’s face became a little colder.
“All of you, make way. I’ll have a good fight with this new colleague.”
Even after returning to full level, the three-headed dragon’s strength was still far from the peak of 100 meters. Lothar didn’t even need to transform into a real dragon to easily subdue it – of course, Lothar still transformed into a real dragon.
With just one dragon claw, he grabbed the three-headed dragon that was more than ten meters long, making it unable to move at all.
“Don’t, don’t do it!”
The head of the poison exclaimed. Compared with the treatment the Ottoman family had given him, what he just proposed was nothing.
Especially human sacrifices. Every year, it dealt with countless losers in the power struggle, Armenian, Kurdish, Greek, Slavic rebels, and enemy prisoners.
If it weren’t for its gastric juice that could melt even bones, the bones in the Dragon Garden would have piled up like a mountain.
The Fire Dragon Leader was furious: “Let me go, even if you are our new contractor, you can’t humiliate the noble real dragon like this!”
The Curse Leader watched coldly: “Dear old His Majesty, please teach these two fools a lesson at will, just ask Your Majesty not to harm the innocent.”
…
The next morning, the shrill dragon roar that lasted for half the night last night made many citizens sleep poorly.
The municipal government quickly posted a notice, and the news that there was a new dragon nest outside the city, and the dragon tamed by His Majesty the King lived in it, and it was quickly spread.
The Crusaders were used to this. As a miracle worker, although Lothar did not admit it, many Crusaders and pilgrims had already regarded Lothar as the new Son of God, the incarnation of Christ.
Lothar’s territory was regarded as the legendary “Kingdom of Heaven”.
The Copts were similar. In the few days since the Crusaders entered Alexandria, five giant buildings rose from the ground outside the city. What else could this be but a miracle?
During this period, the Crusaders and the residents of the city generally got along peacefully, after all, with Losa’s prestige, but small conflicts continued, especially in places like taverns, where street fights were the most frequent.
The best outcome between the two is to keep out of each other’s way.
The differences among the Franks are huge, not to mention the Copts, but no matter how big the difference is, it is not as big as the difference between the Franks and African blacks.
Most Copts have brown skin, which is a common skin color in the Mediterranean region.
Not to mention like black people, even in the 20th century, Europe had a special black zoo to display this precious “animal” in the eyes of Europeans.
Everyone is originally Christian, with religious beliefs as a bond, plus policy support, it will take less than a generation for the gap between them to be greatly reduced. The key is not the Copts, but the Saracens.
Losa wanted to create a country in Egypt with religion as a bond, and the first thing to bear the brunt was religious conflicts.
Nowadays, religious conflicts in the territories under Lothar are relatively mild, after all, they are all big cities with a strong commercial atmosphere.
But as many Crusaders march inland in batches, religious conflicts will soon become more and more acute. After all, people who dig for food from the ground are always the most conservative. Egypt has been occupied by Saracens for more than 500 years.
Many Copts have been completely converted to Zoroastrianism. Although the population still accounts for the majority, their civilization has gradually been integrated into the Saracen civilization.
To solve this problem, Lothar thinks that he still has to start with the land.
Dividing the land is always the best way to win the loyalty of farmers.
Perhaps the land owned by the big landlords is not enough for distribution, but Lothar still has two “fertile” lands with vast land and sparse population – Transjordan and Sinai Peninsula.
The development of the former is already very good. With the thriving growth of the two trees of life and the power of faith provided by more and more pilgrims, the hydrological conditions in Transjordan have been greatly improved.
It’s just that Lothar has no time to transfer a large number of immigrants there.
As for the Sinai Peninsula, although several groups of liberated white slaves were sent before, the development time was still late, and the tree of life did not receive a lot of nutrients like its mother plant.
Therefore, the only area that has been improved is the area near Frayma Castle. The thousands of white slaves who migrated there and many Bedouin captives have built a large number of hill farms around this area, forming a large town that is more prosperous than before and can accommodate 5,000 people.
Although there is a promising future, it cannot be put to great use in a short time.
At the cost of conversion, a large-scale land distribution movement was carried out, and local propaganda was vigorously promoted to highlight the Crusader King’s feat of killing gods in the Battle of Lake Bruluc. With these two axes, Lothar was confident that he could recover the entire Egypt and quell the civil unrest in the shortest time.
