People in the Middle Ages, draw cards to get promoted - Chapter 866: The Concept of Overseas Languages

He looked at the only two people still standing in the field, a man and a woman who were dressed gorgeously with even the corners of their clothes not dirty, and automatically classified them as the new spellcasters recruited by Lothar.

"Sir Balian is here!"

A knight who was wailing on the ground holding his stomach struggled to get up and shouted, "Sir Balian, you've come just in time. Stop this liar who dares to pretend to be a member of the royal family!"

"Ser Balian, we cannot let him go."

Just now, this man and woman knocked down more than 20 strong men while strolling leisurely, including several famous swordsmanship masters in Jaffa City, and judging from their relaxed appearance, it was obvious that they were able to do it with ease.

Bellian coughed lightly and said, "I'm sorry, everyone. I have to tell you that this is a misunderstanding. Sir Rudolf is indeed a member of the Habsburg family recognized by His Majesty Lothar."

"what?"

"how is this possible?"

As the news that Baldwin IV intended to let Lothar serve as the King of Jerusalem spread, Lothar has now become the most dazzling monarch in the entire Christian world. His family members and family tree have been studied by many people.

"You are frightened, Lord Rudolf. I am sorry that this happened, but I also hope that you can understand that the Jaffa people did such an irrational thing out of respect for the Habsburg family."

Bellian looked at the man in fancy clothes with a sword on his shoulder. The man raised his stiff eyebrows and smiled warmly: "It's okay. I should be the one to apologize. I'll leave this money for everyone's medical expenses."

He put the heavy purse on the table.

"Ok."

Rudolf looked at Lady Mary beside him with an apologetic look: "It's all my fault that I was stubborn and unwilling to remain anonymous, which ruined our first adventure in Jaffa."

Mary looked at the gloom on Rudolph's face, which had completely disappeared, and smiled and shook her head, saying, "This experience is quite interesting, Rudolph. I think it would be nice for us to be a pair of chivalrous wandering knights in the future."

"Mary, in this world without rumors, newspapers, red tape, and court intrigue, take off all unnecessary identities and let us start over!"

For the first time, Mary did not call Rudolf "Your Highness". The two looked at each other lovingly, and it seemed as if threads could be drawn out between their eyes.

Bellian felt that if he didn't do something, the two of them would probably start fighting on the streets of Jaffa. This immoral behavior would be disastrous if the deacons of the church who were in charge of regulating the morals of the citizens were to come.

He coughed lightly and urged: "You two, His Majesty is still waiting for you, we have to get going quickly."

"Sorry to keep you waiting."

After watching them leave, the two soldiers left behind by Bellian in the tavern picked up the purse left by Rudolf and distributed the coins in it to the wounded.

Suddenly someone suddenly realized: "I understand!"

"Your Majesty is truly magnanimous and merciful, allowing a bastard to continue to use the family name."

A bastard mercenary leader sighed: "If my 'brother' could be half as tolerant as Your Majesty, I wouldn't have come to the Holy Land to be a bloodthirsty mercenary."

Lothar actually had high expectations for Crown Prince Rudolf. After all, what he lacked most was domestic affairs talent.

No matter how incompetent Rudolf was, he was trained as the crown prince of a country.

However, as the crown prince of the empire, he was a liberal like his mother, and even publicly supported the republic. It was really difficult for him to entrust him with important tasks from the beginning.

He felt that what Rudolf lacked most was experience at the grassroots level and was not close to the sufferings of the people. He should gain some experience as a country lord like an ordinary knight of the Imperial Order.

"Captain, I'm sorry for causing this."

When he came in front of Losa, Rudolf admitted his mistake very straightforwardly.

He somewhat underestimated Lothar's status in people's minds. After all, in Vienna, even if some nobles openly insulted the emperor or even participated in rebellion, they would not be punished.

For example, Count Andrassy, ​​who had openly participated in the Hungarian rebellion and had an affair with Princess Sissi, was not only not liquidated afterwards, but he even took the high position of Prime Minister of Hungary.

But ordinary people in the Holy Land, the citizen class, lower nobles and knights all eagerly hope that Lothar can become their king.

"It was just a misunderstanding."

Losa had no intention of holding Rudolf responsible: "From Alexandria to Jaffa, what do you think of the journey?"

“It’s very prosperous. Although there are still traces of war, it’s much better than I imagined in the Middle Ages.”

At that time, except for the relatively developed economies of Austria, Veneto, Lombardy and the Crown of Bohemia, it is not an exaggeration to say that areas such as Galicia, Hungary, Nitra, Croatia, etc. were still in the Middle Ages.

On the contrary, Egypt has been on a downward spiral since it moved from the Ayyubid dynasty to the Mamluk warlords, where there was endless fighting, and then to the rule of the Ottoman Empire.

Wars, land desertification, natural disasters, plagues and many other factors caused Egypt in the Victorian era to be even worse than in the Middle Ages for a long time.

It can be said that Egypt today is at the peak of its development.

Rudolf once envisioned compiling a "Lehtanian language" to solve Austria's ethnic problems.

Later, because Austria unified Germany, all the crown territories gained autonomy, and this idea was completely shelved.

"You mean, compiling a foreign language?"

Rudolf hesitated. "But the languages ​​of Gauls, Germans, Latins, Greeks, Saracens, and Coptics are so different from each other. It would be very difficult to compile them into one language. Moreover, even if we really create an overseas language, it would only be a dead language if no one uses it."

Fortunately, we have a blank piece of paper on which we can freely paint. However, the difficulty is that few people can even write their own language. If we want to popularize an overseas language, even if we succeed in doing so, it will be a long-term and difficult problem to spread it.

"As for how to get people to use this new language, you don't need to worry about it."

"It may sound unpleasant, but the administrative efficiency of Austria under Emperor Franz may not be much better than that of my kingdom."

The Vienna government at that time might not have been able to make the so-called Leitanian language spread throughout the country through universal education, but that didn't mean Losa couldn't do it.

Losa's eyes were filled with hope: "No problem, get in touch with more ordinary people and listen to their voices. Perhaps this will answer many of the doubts that have been buried in your mind for a long time."

He looked at Mary again and said, "Lady Mary, Rudolf may still need your care in many aspects. You two are like canaries that have just escaped from a cage. What you should do most right now is not the work I assign to you, but to fly freely."

Mary bowed gratefully: "Thank you, Your Majesty."
