Drawing Cards in the Middle Ages to Rise in Ranks-Chapter 592 - 366: Celestial Law Enforcer · Lavinia

"Interesting, it seems that while I was asleep these two days, he managed to accomplish quite a feat right under my nose."

In Losa's eyes, Sebastian was just a self-important clown who rose to power through nepotism, yet he surprisingly brought him a "meeting gift" upon waking up.

"Bring Kurs to see me."

After Losa finished speaking, he went straight to the armor rack and casually teased, "How was it? Was the last battle thrilling enough for you?"

The Holy Cross Plate Armor remained silent, seemingly falling back into its previous dormant state upon returning to this world. However, Losa knew it could hear him.

Prajna cautioned, "That blue light probably signifies the power of the Space System."

"Oh?"

Losa was somewhat surprised, "It seems that our esteemed Sebastian has likely teleported a significant figure here."

The setup and consumption of the Teleportation Array was extraordinary, and for Sebastian to arrange it, it would be impossible in this lifetime given his knowledge and connections in the Holy Land, unless he had support from someone powerful.

Moreover, this person's status and power were significant. Losa didn't need to guess to know it's likely Richard the Lionheart or King Philip of Gaul, since Emperor Henry is still busy conquering Sicily, with no time to intervene.

The remaining kings lacked the power, wealth, or prestige.

Chelina furrowed her brows, "Master, what should we do now?"

Losa replied casually, "Send an envoy over there first to assess the situation."

Even if a king arrived, he had ways to respond.

In the shadow cast by the sunlight from the balcony, Kurs slowly emerged, murmuring, "Master, this is my negligence."

Losa waved his hand, "It was my slumber that caused this, it's not your fault. Besides, Sebastian's gathering of magic materials wasn't an obvious act. Many Church rituals use them, so even if I were awake, I likely wouldn't have stopped it."

"Master, how should we respond now?"

"No rush, let's wait and see."

Losa paused slightly in his tone, chuckling, "I have to say, they picked a good time. If they waited a few more days, after the Crusader Lords swore loyalty to me, it would already be a settled matter."

For other lords, loyalty oaths were unreliable, but for Losa, they were the closest and most dependable bonds.

"Kurs, who do you think it might be?"

Kurs shook his head, not knowing much about the European monarchs, as he was a "transmigrator."

Losa smiled and asked again, "Chelina, what do you think?"

Chelina frowned, "Could it be the King of Hungary, Bella III?"

Losa shook his head, "Not enough, the Teleportation Array couldn't bring an army, at most it's a lightweight arrival. Bella III's power isn't weak, he's a dominant force along the Danube, but his prestige isn't enough for Sebastian to rely on him against me."

He turned to Prajna, "Prajna, what do you think?"

"I guess it's Richard the Lionheart."

Losa nodded and smiled, "I think so too. Although King Philip is possible, relying on a Teleportation Array, abandoning an army, and arriving lightly armed doesn't quite match our 'Cunning Fox Philip's style."

He paused slightly in his tone and continued, "For now, let's not consider the identity of the visitor. If he wants to challenge me, the first step would be to deny my legitimacy as the Lord of Damietta; otherwise, even if he's a King of Gaul or Albion, or the Emperor of the Holy Germania Empire, he'd at most be on equal footing with me here."

Within the Catholic World, Losa's recognized titles included only Count of the Outskirts of Jordan, Limassol's Military Zone General granted by the Eastern Empire Empress, and Duke of Egypt from the Coptic Church.

"Kurs, prepare the horses, instead of guessing here, let's see for ourselves."

With Prajna's help, Losa donned his armor. For medieval lords and male nobles, armor was equivalent to their formal attire, even if going to meet a king.

...

In another world.

Under the night in Turin.

The dim mansion stood alone like a man-eating beast.

In the dark living room.

Elmer glanced at the stable on his way back, sighed with some sadness, as the two horses from his arrival were lost by Losa - most likely dead.

From descriptions of Losa's battle scenes, it was clear that such small details were overlooked.

He entered the living room.

Only to discover in the darkness a sharp gaze suddenly turning to him.

"Whoa!"

Elmer jumped in fright.

"Miss? You're still up so late?"

No lights were on either.

Sitting in the living room like this was quite scary.

"Can't sleep."

"Oh."

Elmer didn't dare continue the conversation, being just a small corner figure, a marginal person, with no right to chat intimately with the future Clan Leader.

"Elmer, your partner did another big thing."

"Wh...What?"

"He eliminated a whole elite purge squad under the Wolf Lord, except the leading Inner Guard who escaped to Milan heavily injured."

Elmer remained silent. The purge squad was the Wolf Lord's elite force for clearing internal traitors among the Wolf Race, even mentioning them would make wolves tremble.

"Unexpected, isn't it..."

"I'm surprised too, that kid hid so deeply, such a pity."

"A pity?"

Elmer seemed to realize something, his expression changed slightly.

"Is he dead?"

"Yes, he's dead."

"No wonder he said he'd give the Yakxi an explanation. With his death, debts are wiped, leaving Yakxi nothing to purge."

"Debts wiped" is a rule of the Wolf Race, a tradition handed down over the years.

Without this rule, given the frequent internal strife within the Wolf Race, it's estimated that few ancient families would have survived for centuries.

Elmer remained silent for a long while.

"A pity..."

"Yes, a pity."

In the darkness, two soft sighs echoed.

...

A mountain inn in Dolomites.

Lavinia paced back and forth uneasily,

time ticked by, but the person she awaited hadn't arrived.

Then.

Footsteps were heard from downstairs.

She immediately stood up, walked to the staircase to look, only to find that the newcomer was just a passing merchant, returning disappointedly.

Back in her room, she hesitated for a moment, then simply moved a chair to the window, even though Losa would likely not use the front door even if he came.

At this time, since Losa hadn't arrived yet, he probably wouldn't come at all.

Given Losa's own power, if he were to be caught by the chasing squad sent by the Yakxi Family...
