Proof of the Sun King

"Who?" Julius frowned, and he put his questioning eyes on his father.

"Go and have a look." Francois glanced at the door: "If it's a girl, ask her to go with a few silver coins."

Julius nodded to show his understanding, he held the hilt of his long sword, slowly approached the door, and then slowly opened the door.

Sure enough, the one who appeared at the door, wrapped in the cold wind, was an ordinary girl. She had blond hair, her face was red from the cold, and she was dressed in plain linen clothes. When Julius opened the door, the girl found him There was no Holy Grail Knight badge on his chest, and there was hesitation in his voice: "That... Your Excellency the Baron asked me to come..."

"Go out, go." Julius's grim poker face showed no expression. He took out a few silver coins and stuffed them into the girl's hands: "Come on, don't let me say it a second time!"

"But!" The girl was happy to take the money, but her eyes were still looking into the house from time to time.

"Go!" Julius' voice was full of anger, and he closed the door forcefully.

Only then did the girl disappear into the cold winter night with a few silver coins in her pocket.

In the room, Francois poured the aperitif into the mug and smiled at Ryan and Gerald: "Normal, whenever the Holy Grail Knight stays in a town, the local lord often thinks that we will need it, so Always arrange for some young virgins to come and serve actively."

Ryan picked up the aperitif, the sweet and sour taste made him feel very comfortable, and he shook his head: "I have encountered it too, and I also refused."

"Well, the way of knights don't care about these subsections. Occasionally there are Holy Grail bastards. This is a kind of honor for serf girls, but for us Holy Grail Knights, although it is not a stain, it is also not very glorious. Especially for lords like Ryan and me." Francois smiled: "If you don't want to wait until the serfs bring their children to come to you to recognize relatives from time to time, you'd better take care of yourselves, It is normal for each person to have several female courtiers, but there is a fundamental difference between legalized illegitimate children and lowly illegitimate children."

This was the Duke's exhortation, and several people nodded.

Ryan's heart moved, Francois was actually telling him what he said.

There are actually quite a few women around the Lady's God's Choice Champion. Some of them were accepted by Ryan, such as Olika and Veronica, because Ryan needed them.

Some women were actually unplanned by Lane, like Teresa and Morgiana.

In the plans and visions that Lane listed for himself, the shadow of the lake **** witch and the sorcerer never actually appeared. These two women were both unplanned. His original plan was to be a lady, a witch, and a witch. maid.

But the plan couldn't keep up with the changes. Teresa had already done this for Ryan. If it wasn't for her desperate protection, Ryan might have died in the siege camp on the banks of the Grismore River.

Morgiana was even simpler. If she hadn't rescued her at that time, she might have died long ago.

François saw Lane nodding, and the duke himself knew that he had listened, so he immediately avoided the topic: "We will go to the market tomorrow to buy some dry food and meat. It will take a few days to cross the Grey Mountains, and we will reach the opposite side of the Grey Mountains. The town of Ubetheric, which is the territory of the Empire."

Gerald stroked his goatee: "Umbetherik, the trading town of the Empire, with a population of about 3,500 people, is located in a small estuary in the lower reaches of the Toifel River, which originates from the Grey Mountains. This is the Not far from where Count von Jung Freud ruled was Helmgart, the empire's main fortress against the invasion of Brittany."

If you don't consider the "Road of Curona" of territorial disputes, there are three ways to cross the Grey Mountains. They are the road of Guisoleaux in the north. This is the road that Lane took when he came to Britannia. The road is not easy to walk, you can march, but you cannot do business.

The second road is the famous "Axe Bite" road. This road is known as the safest mountain road in the Empire and Brittany. There are a large number of castles built on the Axe Bite Road. Montfort, the capital of the Duchy of Montfort The castle is also situated in the middle of the gorge of the Axe Pass, the most reliable trade route between the Empire and Brittany.

Because of safety.

The Duchy of Montfort, like the Duchy of Palaon, is a mountainous area with few places for farming, so customs clearance has become the main source of income for the Duke of Montfort.

The tax is very heavy. It is said that the highest tax can reach thirteen. However, under such a heavy tax, the Montfort knights worked hard to ensure the safety of the axe-bite pass. Any caravan encountered an attack as long as it can persist for ten to ten. In five minutes, the patrolling knight troop could immediately lead the army to the rescue, and nine out of ten caravans that passed through the axe bite could pass through safely. This is already an amazing survival rate for the caravans in this world.

The third road is the "Gray Lady" road from Grennell here in the Principality of Palaon.

The "Grey Lady" route starts from Grennell and ends just across the mountain in Uberselik.

The tax on this road is not very high, but there are very few caravans taking this road. Because it is very dangerous, the mountain road is full of beastman tribes and greenskin tribes. In addition, vampires also have a castle inside the mountain road— - Eternal Dragon Rock.

The vampire Count Constant-Longyan stationed in the castle was killed by Francois in the decisive battle between Francois and the necromancer Heinrich Kemmler more than ten years ago, but there is still a lot in the castle. Inhabited by swarms of dark creatures, they frequently strike and harass passing travelers.

No matter which way it is, the end point is Helmgart, a big city in the Empire's Rick Land, where the Empire is stationed with heavy troops to guard against the invasion of Brittany.

"I know a knight of the Moorish Knights in Uberseric, and he will arrange accommodation for us." François used a silver knife to cut pork, and the knights were in great demand for meat: "Or... ... Ryan, is there anything you can do?"

"Yes, this is the customs clearance document issued to me by my brother-in-law, Earl Griffin, Anton Ferdinand." Ryan took out a parchment with the seal of Duke Griffin: "This customs clearance document allows us to Most cities and gates in Reikland of the Empire are unobstructed."

"very good."

The next day, Francois and his party set foot on the road of the "Gray Lady".

The icy cold wind blew the faces of the four knights, and the rugged mountain road could not defeat the mighty knights. The cloak of Ryan's pure platinum cup squeaked on the mountain road: "What a strong wind!"

Looking up, the mountain road was filled with mist, the top of the gray mountain range was covered with thick white snow, and the peaks several thousand meters high looked like a beautiful landscape painting.

There were a few footprints left on the mountain road, and in the gap shrouded in the clouds, the bright sun proudly shed its own light on the mortal world, illuminating the path of the Holy Grail Knight.

The cold air was inhaled into Ryan's lungs. The lady's chosen champion was unaware of the harsh environment, because he had experienced it many times during his travels, and Francois enjoyed the test from the wild. The Duke of Winford He regarded every difficulty he encountered as a blessing from the lady. He enjoyed looking at the granite plateau and the huge rock walls on both sides of the mountain road. Even after being pampered, he never forgot the lady's teaching to him. After smelling the air in the mountains and the fragrance of the white snow, Francois said to his own son Julius and his cousin Gerald: "Now let you experience it, and when you are all on the road of the Holy Grail, you Sooner or later you will experience this.”

"That's really... not easy!" Julius struggled to drag his body out of the snowdrift. He could feel the icy cold that pierced into the bone marrow, even in the thick winter coat and the enchanted board. Even armor was unable to withstand such a strong burden. The plate armor, which used to feel light as nothing, now made the young Marquis feel extremely heavy. Just like his father, Julius also felt that this was the lady's test for him.

I can overcome it, the young kingdom knight said to himself.

"Ah~ I can understand why this mountain road is so difficult to walk." Gerald turned into a snowman, and he trudged between the mountain roads with the same difficulty, unlike the light steps of Ryan and François, Jarrod's footprints were deep and shallow, very heavy, and the strong wind swept the cold into the gaps in his armor: "But I will persevere."

"Everyone must persevere, because this is just a little test for the lady on your path of knighthood." Francois looked at the difficulty of his cousin and his own son, and said in a deep voice: "I am on the path of the Holy Grail. Once my luggage fell into a deep valley, I survived by hunting and drinking snow water, and when I climbed down the cliff after all the hardships, there was a group of greenskins waiting for me."

"Father..." Julius's voice was a little shaken.

"I killed them all, and then sang the hymn of the lady, a group of imperial peasants found me wounded, took me back to the village, and gave me their black bread, the best I had ever eaten in my life A meal." François's eyes turned cold, he stared at Julius and Gerald: "Just this level of difficulty makes you succumb?"

"No!!!" The passion of the journey was ignited by the Duke again, and both Julius and Gerald responded loudly. The two kingdom knights worked hard to get rid of their depression and depression, and they kept up with the Holy Grail. The pace of the knight.

A few days passed like that.

The scenery changes, the sparse mountain meadows gradually fade away, and the scenery of thousands of hills and valleys unfolds in front of several people. The muddy gray-white snow piles up at the highest point, covering the ridges of the undulating mountains, and the complicated mountain roads. Fragmented, gradually submerged by mountain cliffs,

Ryan pulled the reins of his pure-blooded elf warhorse Grape, standing at the top of the mountain road, silent.

"Ladies' champion, why did we stop?" Francois's plate armor and blouse were still as shiny as new, he walked to Ryan's side and teased with a smile.

Julius and Jerod staggered and barely kept up, and they came behind Ryan.

Ryan raised his head and motioned a few people to look forward. On a small flat ground not far away, there was a boundary monument.

Brittany, 936.

This is the border area of ​​Brittany, and further on, is the territory of the Empire.

"We're halfway through this trip." Julius nodded lightly: "The next step is the Empire."

"No, we have completed a quarter of this trip at most." Francois turned his eyes to the distant mountains, and he reached out and held the unicorn sword around his waist: "Did you hear that? ?"

"I heard." Ryan picked up his griffin warhammer, and his face was indifferent.

Jerrod was about to say something when an extremely disgusting roar sounded from the top of the snow-covered mountain. Several groups of black evil figures were jumping on the top of the mountain, and then roared and charged down.

It's an undead creature!

Jerrod immediately remembered the battle more than ten years ago. At that time, Francois led the army of the Duchy of Winford in a decisive battle against the undead wizard.

"Vampire!!" Julius shouted loudly, he took out his weapon - a two-handed broad-blade sword, the duke's first son lifted the cloak on his body, revealing the family crest of the pure white horse under the cloak Caps and translucent plate armor.

Dozens of vampires jumped down from the mountain, carrying the power of thunder like a landslide. They roared and drowned out the low roars of several knights. These dark creatures were more than one meter high even when they were lying on their backs. They had strong The limbs and huge mouth, the four fangs are frightening in the cold wind.

"Fight! For the lady!" Ryan let go of the reins of the grapes. It is really not suitable for horses to rush into battle on the mountain road~www.wuxiaspot.com~ The lady's chosen champion burst out with a strong power, he is like a strong bull , rushing directly towards the vampire.

"For the lady!"

The two forces collided, and their power made the mountains tremble. With one hammer, Ryan would headshot the headed vampire beast. The brains that splashed out could not stop Ryan. He turned around and hammered a vampire beast into the sky. fell off the cliff.

Julius stabbed the blade of his great sword into the mouth of the vampire, and pierced through the back of its head. Jerrod's sword was as fast as lightning, and a vampire couldn't avoid it and was stabbed into the heart.

Just then, Francois moved.

Duke Winford's sword, the Unicorn Sword, was unsheathed, and a dazzling bright light shot out from the sword. All the vampires within a five-meter radius of the Duke himself were directly vaporized into ashes after being irradiated by the strong light.

three.

Francois turned around magnificently, and the blade of the unicorn sword precisely slashed the neck of a vampire.

two.

As Duke Winford raised his hands, the three vampires were beheaded one after another. The Duke's powerful performance aroused deep fear among the vampires, and more vampires surrounded François.

one.

Francois stepped back a little, dodging the combined attack of several vampires, and the unicorn sword in his hand drew a semicircle in the cold air.

The strong light flashed, and all the vampires within five meters of the Duke were once again evaporated to ashes in the dazzling light.

Lane's eyes widened, it was the first time he saw Francois take a shot.

This is the strength of his future father-in-law, the patriarch of the "Pure White Horse" family, one of the three major families of the Knight Kingdom, the enemy of the undead, and the Duke of Winford "Long-legged" Francois!
