Proof of the Sun King
Chapter 272: , the imperial comer
Dear~ The domain name of this site: \"166 novel\" is the abbreviation homophonic, easy to remember! Good-looking novels are highly recommended: the footsteps of winter went to the earl of Glamorgan, and also to the castle of the earl.
The first heavy snow in the middle of winter came earlier than usual. Britannia is located in the south relative to Nord. It is indeed too early for the heavy snow to fall at the end of November. When people get up in the morning, the sky is full of white snow. I don't know when it covered the sky of the town, and the sky was full of dark clouds.
Winter has indeed come. The townspeople in Jien Town hurriedly built fires to keep warm, starched their clothes, and did handicraft work by the way. Due to the heavy wind and snow, many buildings in the territory were suspended, and the serfs took the money they earned. Went to the pub, drank cheap barley wine, ate brown bread and scrambled beans, and chatted loudly about all kinds of interesting things.
Dozens of taverns have opened in the town, and new taverns are constantly appearing. There are even special taverns for dwarves and wood elves... Of course, it is very expensive, at least the serfs can't afford it. Barley wine is only a few copper coins, but a glass of wood elf fruit wine cannot be bought without a few silver coins.
The guys at each bar stood at the door and greeted customers warmly, one by one: "Gentlemen, folks, it's cold, come in and have a drink, we have the best bard, we have the best barley wine ."
Savvy bar owners know that this year's "folks" have quite a few glittering coins in their pockets.
In the Earl's Castle, Ryan and Suria were leaning against each other, drinking hot coffee and tasting delicious jam cakes. The heavy snow outside the window did not affect Ryan's good mood. On the contrary, it brought a difference for the two of them. kind of mood.
Ryan's hand was not very honest around Surya's waist. This was the first time the female knight sat with Ryan and had a good conversation since she became engaged to him. Before, every time she came to see Ryan, she was called to the lake. The Middle Fairy Tower went to receive "training". Ryan didn't know what the Fairy in the Lake had trained Suria, but it was true that the two couldn't meet.
Until Ryan complained to the fairy in the lake: "Ma'am, are you engaged to Suria or am I engaged to Suria?"
The fairy in the lake laughed until her tears came out, and only then did she release the female knight to reunite with him.
"The snow is so heavy, Ryan, brother and the others... will they be okay?" Suria leaned on Ryan's shoulders, covered with a thin blanket, a little worried on her dignified and noble face. The female knight was wearing a dress today. A dreamy peach pink and orange bouquet windbreaker with a fine white wool sweater inside. It is beautiful but not very warm, especially a pair of skin-colored pantyhose under the knee-length skirt to keep out the cold. Lane wrapped the girl with a blanket. The knight's beautiful legs left only a pair of small feet wearing bear slippers, and then comforted, "Don't worry, everything will be fine."
"Well, I believe you." Sulia had a kind of fascinated trust in Ryan. This may be the reason for the engagement, or maybe it is because Ryan has created too many miracles.
The atmosphere in the room was very quiet, Olika was sitting by the fireplace, slowly adding wood, and delicious pies were being baked in the fireplace. This would be their lunch today.
"Suria, are you staying here for a few days? The envoy from the empire will arrive here soon, you and I will meet him." Ryan touched Suria's tender little hand and said softly .
"Envoy of the Empire?" The female knight blushed a little, she thought at first that Ryan had bad intentions.
"Well, the envoy of the Empire, and also my old friend and righteous brother, Anton Ferdinand, Earl of the Griffin." Ryan leaned his body into the sofa chair relaxedly: "This meeting will have a lot of meaning. , I need you to meet my righteous brother with me."
"Of course I will meet your righteous brother with you." Surya nodded again and again, and the female knight asked curiously: "Anton? I have heard the name of Ivan the Griffon Duke for a long time, but I have not yet had your righteous brother. heard about it."
Ryan shook his head with a wry smile: "Godfather, he didn't get married until he was in his fifties... Speaking of which, Yuri hasn't planned to get married yet? Are we not too good to be in front of him?"
The female knight smiled bitterly after hearing this topic, she leaned on Ryan's chest: "Brother, father is too lazy to talk about him, brother is only thinking about fighting and knighthood, father has asked someone to introduce Carcassonne to him. The granddaughter of Duke Hubbard, the second daughter of the eldest son of the eldest son of the Duke of Bastogne, and the daughters of several counts, the elder brothers are not very satisfied... Now my father is too lazy to talk about it, compared to most Duke's daughter, I am now... very happy."
"It's my honor to be engaged to you." Ryan's face was a little fortunate. The female knight has a good character, excellent strength and noble status. It is his luck to marry her.
This is all thanks to François's good teaching and pampering. It is very important to Ryan that there is a gentle and virtuous lady in the family who can help him a lot.
The duchess of Palaon, Kasfann, has a well-known and evil wife. The duchess is of noble birth and is the great-granddaughter of the previous knight John I. Since she married Kasfann, the duchess has gained notoriety. It's spread all over the old world, she's not pretty, she's very bad-tempered, always trying to catch any fault of her husband and then blaming wildly, biting Kasvann like a mad dog, it's really annoying. bored.
Ryan believes that some minor conflicts between husband and wife are inevitable, and mutual tolerance and understanding are very necessary in life, but this is not the case with the Duchess of Kasfann. The Duchess likes to gossip in front of others, and then do everything possible to shake it. The embarrassing incident of her husband won everyone's sympathy, and her nit-picking way of doing things made all the knights unhappy, and she herself didn't realize it.
Francois once said dissatisfiedly that the Duchess especially liked to break in when the dukes and the king were meeting in the capital to discuss matters, and then took the opportunity to pour out her dissatisfaction in front of all the dukes and let Cass. Vann lost face time and time again, and under her influence, Cas Vann's temper also became grumpy and gloomy.
It can be seen how important it is to have a lady like Sulia for a newly rising aristocrat like Ryan. Divorce between nobles is very difficult and involves a lot, especially for a god-chosen champion like Ryan. Under the given marriage contract, it is almost impossible for him to divorce.
Looking at the heavy snow outside the window, Ryan was silent for a long time, and then said softly to Suria: "Suria, the purpose of this imperial envoy is not that simple. First of all, I used my godfather's relationship to buy value data from the empire. The magic ore of the daughter of Mark, due to the preciousness of these ores, Anton is likely to bring the Griffin Knights personally, and recently, the friction between the Duke of Palaon and the Empire has become more frequent and intense... ...I suspect the Empire is here to test it."
"Try? Test your position with... father?" Suria immediately realized something, the female knight raised her head, and she took some seriousness in her delicate beauty. As the daughter of the Duke, her political sensitivity was even Even stronger than Ryan: "The empire... is already preparing to go to war with the Duke of Palaon?"
"Maybe... We won't know until we meet Anton."
"Ryan... Can I ask your position? How did you plan?" Suria hesitated for a while, and she asked in a low voice, "Father and the Empire have always had a good relationship..."
"It is unwise to consume the precious power of human beings in infighting. On this point, I support Your Excellency the Duke." Ryan decided to give the female knight a bottom line to reassure her.
"Thank you, Ryan, you are so kind." Surya subconsciously felt that Ryan didn't want to embarrass herself in the middle. The female knight felt warm in her heart. She thought about it for a while, and finally made up her mind to raise her head and give to Ryan. his own kiss.
The two of them tangled on the soft sofa chair for a while before getting up. Suria blushed and smoothed the wrinkles on her dress. She couldn't raise her head shyly. Ryan let go of her with a chuckle, and the count himself was a little smug. A box was moved in from outside: "Suria, look what I got?"
When you open the box, you will find high-quality beef with a beautiful marble pattern on the surface.
"This is... Snowflake beef?!" Surya said in surprise, "Lane, how did you get so much Snowflake beef?"
Snowflake beef is a kind of beef. It is famous in the old world for its fragrant, fresh and tender meat. The output of this kind of beef is very small.
"It was sent by His Excellency the Elector Boris, I think we can eat it together." Ryan laughed, beef can be regarded as one of the most precious foods in this world: "Bring some when you go back, Give the Duke and the Duchess a taste!"
"Ryan...Thank you." The female knight was very happy, she let Ryan hold her little hand, and the two came to the kitchen together.
"Today I'm going to teach you how to make a pan-fried snowflake steak~"
"Fried?" Surya became interested. The cooking methods that the female knight knew were nothing more than stewing, roasting, and boiling. This was a cooking method she had never heard of.
"Yes, come, I'll show you~" Ryan embraced Surya's beautiful body from behind and whispered in her ear: "After you learn it, you can go back and make it for the Duke and Duchess, or you can Dedicated to the lady."
"Ryan, don't say that, it's too utilitarian~" Surya turned her head shyly, and all she heard was Ryan's laughter.
The castle of the Earl of Glamorgan under the heavy snow is not warm and fun.
…………
Anton's arrival was three days later. The Earl of the Griffin led dozens of half-griffin knights and more than a hundred great swordsmen to land from the Principality of Boldero, and then escorted a large number of goods to Lane. territory.
Ryan opened the gate of the castle and led the remaining knights and his retainers to welcome the arrival of Count Anton Ferdinand of the Griffin. He was wearing a Brittanian standard earl's dress, and Surya beside him was a standard one. The dress of the marquis, in the heavy snow and cold wind, looks like a pair of beautiful people.
"Welcome, Anton, on behalf of the Kingdom of Brittany, I would like to extend my sincere greetings to you and wish you good health." Ryan saw the figure in front of him in bright golden full-body plate armor and took the initiative to step forward.
"Hello, Ryan, my brother, I bring greetings from His Majesty the Emperor of the Empire and Duke Griffin. May your pond be as clear and beautiful as the melting snow on the mountains." With shining eyes, the imperial general with short black hair and sideburns rode on a huge griffin, leading dozens of half-griffin knights and more than 100 imperial swordsmen to the front. Count Griffin, Ryan's brother-in-law, Anton Ferdinand.
Anton Ferdinand brought a huge amount of magic ore this time, as well as several barrels of fiery oil, which are the goods that Ryan desperately needs. After he wrote to his godfather, Duke Ivan, Ivan also paid for it. Specially asked the Emperor Karl Franz to discuss it.
These things have always been listed as strictly regulated rare materials in the Empire. If they want to sell, they must be approved by the Emperor or the elector himself. Fortunately, Ryan's prestige and his special relationship with the Empire finally let Karl Franz This order was passed, and in exchange, Ryan would export six half-blood elf warhorses and a large number of wood elf medicines to the empire.
Britannia is very short of ore, especially magic ore.
Some people may feel unbelievable about this situation. Brittany was founded hundreds of years later than the empire. Logically speaking, the mining of ores should be far inferior to the mining of the empire. How could there be a shortage of magic ores?
It can't be counted that way, because elves had colonized the area for thousands of years before the Bretons appeared on this side of the Grey Mountains.
"Long time no see, Ryan, you are already an earl. It's really unpredictable. When you swore to me that you would get a chance here, I thought you were a speculator, but I didn't expect... You won the bet? "Anton looked at Ryan in the Earl's costume with interest: "What you want, my father bought it for you."
"Thank you so much!" Ryan thanked him sincerely. The dwarf's blacksmith workshop needs fierce fire oil, and Veronica's wizard's tower needs magic ore~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Ivan is willing to help and Ryan is relieved.
"What's this? We also need your medicine and half-blooded elf warhorse." Anton shook his head: "That's why my father agreed to help because we needed each other."
"No, don't I remember that there is a trade route from my side to Marienburg? The imperial merchant Mr. Oliver is in charge of the operation of this trade route. You can buy the medicines of the wood elves in Marienburg." Ryan looked With Anton jumping off the griffin, he said suspiciously.
"It's too few. The wood elf goods from your side have been robbed almost instantly. Many nobles and businessmen are desperately buying and hoarding the rare wood elf medicines. We can buy them on the black market of Marienburg. To some, but those black-hearted businessmen took the opportunity to raise the price several times." Anton shook his head: "We need more... Who is this?"
Earl Griffin noticed the female knight standing beside Ryan.
"This is my fiancee, Surya-Kumani-Antry-de-Wenfort." Ryan took Surya's hand and introduced to Anton: "This is my righteous brother, Anton Ferdinand, Count of the Griffin."
"Hello, beautiful Miss Suria, my future younger brother and sister." Anton's eyes lit up, he knew that Suria was Francois's direct daughter.
He had one more point of confidence in completing the task.
"Hello, Your Excellency Anton." Sulia expressed her respect towards Anton with perfect etiquette.
"Let's go in, Ryan... I'm here this time because I want to discuss something with you." Anton quickly turned his attention away from Suria, and he whispered to Ryan.
"I understand." I want to chat with more like-minded people about "Warhammer Throne", WeChat pays attention to "Youdu Literature", chats about life, and finds confidants~166 Novel Reading Network
