Chapter 709 16: Knights of Prague
Losa removed his iron gloves, and at his fingertips appeared a glowing golden card.
"Is that a beautiful Gwent card?"
Baron Charlie, standing nearby, exclaimed instinctively.
The design of the Gwent card is entirely replicated from Yesterday's Giant Ship card system.
No matter how exquisite the craftsmanship, even if much gold dust is used, the legendary-level card's value is nowhere near the genuine ones.
"Sir, are you thinking about some rounds of Gwent to relax?"
Looking at Baron Charlie's smiling face, Losa said sternly, "It's been so many days, and the power of Dragon Blood is not yet fully mastered, yet you still have the mood to play cards?"
After being reprimanded, Baron Charlie laughed sheepishly and retreated back into the lineup.
Cherinita watched the scene with some curiosity: "Sir, is a new colleague about to arrive?"
Losa nodded: "Have you heard of the Candle Knight?"
Cherinita's usually calm expression changed slightly: "It's her... the first swordsman of the Germanic faction, well-known in the Extraordinary World alongside Lady Jeanne and Lady Nightingale, the Lantern Goddess."
"Anything else?"
Cherinita shook her head: "Beyond that, I don't know much. The Candle Knight is a member of the Rose Knights, which is a knight order with monastic characteristics. Therefore, strictly speaking, Candle Knight and Lady Jeanne are nuns, naturally opposed to the Wolf Race, and have never participated in the knight competitions of the Apennine Region."
She thought for a moment and added, "Lady Jeanne should know more about her since they are the biggest competitors to each other."
"Alright, understood."
Losa now has somewhat understood the process of summoning attendants. To his knowledge, this card's essence is merely a medium to summon attendants, without actually sealing them inside.
With Candle Knight's unelite strength, she might be difficult to handle at this stage.
But if in the simulated battle world, she would surely become a powerful ally.
After all, the simulated battle world is also part of Yesterday's Giant Ship World, only on a different timeline. This means that when Candle Knight is summoned, she is likely to retain all her strength, rather than having it compressed to a non-elite level like when summoned directly to this world.
After forming this idea, Losa did not hastily attempt but first consulted the system to see if his notion was feasible.
He had previously researched the system. It's not very intelligent, even among AI, it's considered one of the dumb ones, but it can handle simple queries if made clear.
If this is feasible, but once Candle Knight is summoned over, and there's no way to summon her back to this world, it'd be a huge loss.
Soon, a smile appeared on his face.
He didn't expect his spontaneous thought to be actually feasible.
Realizing he could have an ally as renowned as the Knight of Radiance and in her prime, he felt he could now proceed with the simulation battle.
Moreover, if during the simulation battle he could form a good relationship with Candle Knight, he might even gain a new talent.
Among Candle Knight's three talents, the one most beneficial to Losa is undoubtedly the "Demon Swordsman" talent.
He himself is not a pure swordsman; his highest attribute is spiritual power. If he could enhance any attribute during battle, it would be an explosive enhancement, effectively offsetting his current lack of attack power.
As for the Swift Light and Shadow Sword and Spiritual Shield.
The former requires mastery of Candle Knight's unique Light and Shadow Techniques. Losa's strongest battle force is not in human form, and even if he mastered a sophisticated swordsmanship, he wouldn't use it much.
The latter is definitely a divine-level talent for fragile casters.
Although Losa focuses on spiritual power, he is not fragile. While his spiritual defense is high, it can't compare to his almost "perverse" physical defense. Such a swap would be entirely a negative enhancement.
…
Yesterday's Giant Ship World, Kingdom of Bohemia, Prague.
"Miss Viviana!"
The impeccably dressed housekeeper, with neatly combed white hair, bowed respectfully: "Congratulations on gaining Champion Knight's honor once again."
The female knight, dressed in a black and white robe with long platinum hair, sat on the steps beside the garden corridor, her sword resting on her closed legs, with a book titled "Faust" in golden embossed letters.
"Mr. John, could you give me some personal space, please?"
Viviana regretfully closed the book, knowing her personal time officially ended now.
"I'm sorry, but it's time for visitors now."
The housekeeper displayed a hint of apology and glanced at the pocket watch from his vest: "The first guest is the nephew of Your Majesty, Count Hoffman of Nuremberg; the second guest is your cousin, William of the Teutonic Order. You must duly receive both guests."
Viviana sighed lightly.
The Emperor from the Habsburg Family and relatives from the Hohenzollern Family are Viviana's greatest supporters, guests that others might refuse, but not these two, who must be cautiously entertained.
This is the source of her current status.
But no one ever asked if she wanted such a status.
She stood up.
The garden's architecture is at its most beautiful now, yet she couldn't pause for a moment to appreciate it.
"Apart from these two, can I refuse other guests?"
The housekeeper appeared troubled: "I'm afraid... not."
As one of the Empire's most prosperous cities, coupled with the grand knight competition, the city's population probably exceeded millions, only slightly less than Vienna in the Empire.
So, currently, Prague is filled with numerous high-ranking nobles. Even after sieving through a large batch, many distinguished guests awaited Viviana's reception.
