Proof of the Sun King

I asked the boss, the boss still thinks that the expedition knight is more image, after all, it is an expedition for the Holy Grail, so it will be called the expedition knight in the future.

In the hall of the baron's castle, a handsome and handsome knight was singing indulgently. He had long brown wavy hair, heavy armor, and a shield behind his back. The spear and sword were placed at the door. , in front of everyone, the knight sang aloud, its beautiful voice and touching story made people unforgettable for a long time.

Not far from the knight, a juggler dressed as a clown is making various performances to the singing of the knight. He puts himself in a red and yellow funny pentagram and holds a horse in one hand. The puppet, holding a puppet with a spear in one hand, is doing various funny actions in front of the crowd.

Even though it was raining lightly outside the castle, the fiery atmosphere in the hall was not affected in the slightest.

The person who came was the famous knight and bard, the expedition knight Tristan from the Principality of Boldero. Lane had met him when he went to Boldero and his party before.

Tristan was a famous knight of Britannia, and his singing was blessed by the fairies of the lake, and he was famous throughout the kingdom, he was once invited to tour the kingdom, and all the dukes welcomed him, Let him show his singing voice in his castle hall, after traveling the whole kingdom, Tristan finally decided to let go of all his worldly duties, in pursuit of the Holy Grail, he became an expeditionary knight.

Normally, an expedition knight has always been alone, dedicating his life to the pursuit of the Holy Grail, but Tristan and his jester Jules are really brothers, so he brought the jester, master and servant together. On the way to the Holy Grail.

Today Tristan sings the song of the Holy Grail. This song tells the legend and glory of the Holy Grail. Starting from the first generation of knight king Arthur, how many knights fought **** battles in the name of ladies, how many knights buried their bones in order to fight against evil On the battlefield, only those knights who stayed on the battlefield, only those knights who have truly proved their martial arts and virtues, will have the chance to see the Holy Grail.

Except for Ryan, everyone's faces were full of envy, even Tristan himself, who was singing.

At the end of the song, there was applause from the audience. The Baron and his subordinates all applauded warmly. Tristan put one hand on his chest and gave a knightly salute to everyone present.

"Please take a seat, Mr. Tristan!" Ryan motioned for Tristan to take a seat.

Neither the expedition knight nor his jester refused. Katzenberg had already arranged a sumptuous feast of beef and goose, as well as a large amount of fish and vegetables. The large iron pot was hung on hooks and chains, under the pot. It's a fire, and the chains can be pulled up or down to regulate the temperature. The cooked meat is lifted out of the pot by an iron hook, a meat fork with a wooden handle on the side, and a long-handled, slotted spoon used to stir the soup.

After a longer expedition, Tristan and his jesters were indeed starving, they ate and drank like two hungry wolves, eating more than four times as much as normal people, big chunks of delicious He swallowed the black pepper beef, and drank a few mouthfuls of wine.

Ryan couldn't stop smiling.

If this was the Celestial Dynasty in his previous life, it would be very rude for guests to eat like this.

But to this world, being able to eat knights is a sign of bravery and a symbol of strength.

"Thank you very much, Your Excellency Ryan, you are truly a glorious Holy Grail Knight!" Tristan recovered after a big meal. He put down the silver knife and fork and wiped his mouth with a towel: "Thank you Your hospitality, Tristan will never forget."

Lane nodded, entertaining the expedition knights passing through the territory is what all the lords of Brittany like to do, because it means that once an expedition knight becomes a Holy Grail Knight, they can forge enough friendship.

"My baron, I have brought two news this time." Tristan parted his brown hair with his hands, and his handsome face was a little serious: "I have already said about the rebellion of the Duchy of Berleon before. but I want to stress that this rebellion is very unusual, the rebels have gathered in Gaius, the number has reached more than two thousand, they have allied with Count Tobalo of Estalia to fight Theo together Duke Doric and his army."

"This time the rebel leader was called Sterling. He became rich overnight because he resisted the tax and killed Theodoric's tax collector. Soon those serfs who couldn't survive followed him and launched a rebellion. Now There was a lot of noise, and the situation was a little unstable." Tristan continued: "Lord Ryan, your territory is adjacent to the Duchy of Beleon. Because of your prestige, the rebels may not dare to attack your territory, but you Still need to be careful, Lord Bodrick asked me to tell you that Lord Theodoric may ask you to borrow money and food."

As soon as he heard that he might be borrowed money to borrow food, Ryan's tax officer Gasparton and housekeeper Katzenberg frowned, but Ryan was very calm, so he continued: "Then the second news what is it then?"

"The second news is that Lord Bodrick has learned from Mr. Ismail that the king is very dissatisfied with the fact that you have taken in dwarves and elves. He hopes that you can let go of the wood elves trade and share the technology of dwarves at the same time. Come out." Tristan continued: "Also, Duke Dalheide of Leonasay suggested that he thinks that your talent lies not in governing the territory, but in leading the army. The king plans to organize an expedition to explore Nicohara in the south. Desert, Duke Dalheid thinks you are a suitable expedition general."

"I see, is there anything else?" Ryan was calm after hearing this, his eyes narrowed and his voice was very gentle.

"Uh that, Sir Ryan, I have a ruthless request." Tristan hesitated for a while, and then said a little awkwardly: "I want to visit the lady's tower."

It is no secret that there is a lady's tower in Ryan's territory, and many expedition knights have come here recently.

"Yes, but it's not up to me whether the lady sees you." Ryan nodded.

Ten minutes later, Ryan stood on the high tower of the Baron's Castle, looking at Tristan, who was kneeling and praying in front of the thick fog, and fell into contemplation.

There was the sound of high heels hitting the ground behind him. Veronica appeared behind Ryan in a white wolf velvet coat and a double-sleeve stitched dress. She took Ryan's hand from behind: "Ryan, you want You know, you cannot accept the appointment of the expeditionary force, and the size of your territory is due to your personal prestige and ability."

Lane nodded.

Sending him to the desert expedition is a typical rise and fall. Maybe he can also be promoted to earl by becoming a general of the expedition, but this is tantamount to exile and distribution.

Going to the desert to count the stars?

This is not what he wants.

Ryan is not afraid of the king's order at all. Behind him is the fairy in the lake. From the point of view of the fairy in the lake alone, he will never agree to Richard or Dalhead to send him to the desert to count the stars. In this country, even a king The power of the Lake God Witch is not as great as that of the Lake God Witch. The King can't fight against the Lake God Witch, and Ryan can refute this decree by relying on Morgiana alone.

The problem Lane thought was that, before he knew it, he had come to the opposite side of the conservatives, led by Richard.

In this country, the contradiction between him and the conservatives of Richard and Dalheide, Duke of Lyonasse, and Vercard, Duke of Montfort, has become more and more serious. He employs nobles to do business and encourages serfs to work. , the behavior of accepting dwarves and wood elves is intolerable for these conservative nobles.

If it can still be said that it is a contradiction within the great aristocracy, then the current contradiction has begun to enter the contradiction of ideology. This contradiction is almost unsolvable. Ryan needs money, development, and an excellent army and advanced. Equipment, the moment of the end will not come soon, but it is not too far away.

The country is in decline, Richard cannot be said to be a tyrant and a monarch without merit, but he can only be regarded as a paper craftsman, barely maintaining stability, and it is difficult to do great things.

Looking at the deep night sky, Ryan noticed that the expedition knight Tristan had received some kind of answer. The fog did not disperse for him, but he got up and left full of piety, waved goodbye to Ryan from a distance, and took his own. Rigolet, continue his expedition, the road to the Holy Grail~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Tristan has his own goal, and that is the Holy Grail.

What about your own goals?

"Lane? Are you listening?" Veronica lightly kissed the baron's lips, and she leaned against Ryan's arms: "Are you stunned again?"

"Veronica, what is your goal in life?" Ryan hugged the witch tightly, and he asked softly.

"My life goal? I want to be the speaker of the Garland Council, I want to be the greatest witch ever." Veronica leaned against Ryan's chest, she thought for a while, and her face turned red: "I I also want to have a child with you, the combination of our blood will definitely give birth to an excellent child, you can teach him swordsmanship, and I can teach him magic."

It is very difficult for witches or sorcerers to conceive, because the violent magical elements in their bodies will kill the male's sperm and sons, but Lane is obviously not an ordinary man.

This is why most of the Prophets of the Lake God become Holy Grail Knights, because it is difficult for ordinary knights to impregnate them.

"Really? Then you have to work hard." Ryan smiled. In an instant, Veronica found something more and less on Ryan's face, so the witch asked softly: " What's the matter dear? Is there something wrong?"

"I have a new goal." Looking up at the night sky in Brittany's winter, Ryan said to himself, "Since I have been chosen, let me take it in my hands!"

The next day, the Baron had good news.

The artillery he entrusted to the dwarves was completed, and the dwarf engineer Duggan Ironhan came to his castle and said: "Lord Ryan, the artillery you entrusted to us has been completed, I promise, this is my best work in the past twenty years. !"

"Okay! Let's experiment! Mr. Duggan."

"Of course, the dwarves are the best!"
