Proof of the Sun King
Chapter 383: , a warm snowy night
?Old World, west of Rick's Land, Smile Village, inside the village chief's mansion.
The best house in the village was left to Ryan. The house had been cleaned and tidy. Three roast chickens were roasting on the fire in the middle of the house. Ryan took off his armor and sat on a wooden chair. With a half-smile, he just watched Veronica cooking three roast chickens, and said to Abel the witcher who was sitting on the side, "Mr. Abel, it's been a long time, how are you recently? "
"It's a lie to say it well." Abel shook his head with a wry smile: "It can only be said that it's okay, in addition to guaranteeing the money for repairing equipment and buying potions, I can barely eat enough."
"Does it cost so much to repair equipment and buy potions?" Teresa was wearing a black leather jacket with a phantom rose red cutout. The sorceress didn't change out of her battle clothes. Instead, she played with a pair of firearms in her hand.
Blue Beloved, the treasure that Ryan got from the Basilica of the Church of Justice in Brunswick, the treasure, a pair of enchanted rune guns, which can be filled with magic power.
"Besides that, I also need to pay to repair the Tar's Corner fortress, which used to be the witcher branch of Helmgart, but it is now very dilapidated, so Sule and I decided to rebuild the Tar's Corner. The fortress, and restore it to a branch." Abel continued, spreading his hands: "There is not enough manpower and money, we can only take it slowly."
"Well, that's true." Ryan had nothing to say about this, he could only nod his head.
"Also... Thank you, Your Excellency Ryan, your decision has relieved me a lot of pressure." Abel set his eyes on a few roast chickens, the fragrant roast chickens were coated with sauce, Veroni Ka is controlling the flame, which is also a test of the witch to herself.
After understanding Ryan's suggestion, the village chief immediately grabbed seven or eight big roosters as a reward to Ryan, and Ryan accepted it with a smile. He kept three and gave the rest to Rudolph and the others. Two Ricks were banned. Wei and the group of knights have fought hard, and it's time to eat some meat.
How much is seven or eight big roosters worth? Even in this season, the price of seven or eight big roosters on the market will never reach a single golden mark, but Lane's doing this not only relieves the villagers of Smiley Village from a heavy psychological burden, but also considers it a great deal to Abe. There is an explanation for Er's hard work, otherwise Ryan will not receive anything, and the witcher will bear great pressure from the villagers.
"Mr. Abel, are you going back to Helmgart? Then we are going the same way." Veronica used the flame to roast the chicken. The witch Garland's craftsmanship is very good. Since she is Ryan's friend, Vero Nika naturally had a good-looking face, and she took the initiative to respond. Unlike Teresa, the sorceress was always vigilant about Abel's identity as a witcher.
"Hu~hu~" At night, it snowed heavily outside the house. Naturally, the ability of this kind of village to keep out the cold is not as good as that of the Earl's Castle in Lane or the Royal Hotel in Brunswick. The cold wind was blowing outside, and inside the room, Su Leah's servants are working, they have a lot of things to prepare, while Suria is checking for possible loopholes and secret passages in the room inside.
"The roast chicken is ready~" Veronica brought three roasted golden and crispy roast chickens to Ryan and Abel. Abel quickly waved his hand to signal him not to, and Ryan took the initiative to break a chicken leg and hand it to Aibel Burr: "Don't say no, you're hurt too."
"Okay then." The witcher no longer refused.
He also needs to eat some meat, which is very important for such a powerful professional.
After dinner, there will not be many activities for the commoners, because when it is dark, the commoners are either rolling in the sheets or sleeping directly. Candles are not a luxury and are used for a long time. Lighting is also not a small expense.
After simply taking a shower, Ryan opened the door of the inner room. Suria had changed into a white velvet nightdress and was sitting on the bedside reading a book. There was a goose-yellow magic lamp hanging on the bed. Seeing Ryan come in, the female knight Put down the book: "Have you stopped talking with your witcher friend?"
Ryan also went to the bed. He took Sulia in his arms and kissed her beautiful face: "Me and Abel? What's there to talk about, at most, about recent things, He's from Hemgat and he'll be leaving with us tomorrow morning."
Surya hugged her husband back. At this time, she felt that she was the happiest woman in the world. The female knight leaned on Ryan's chest and felt a touch of warmth: "I'm not against you and the witcher... Forget it. , you must have your own ideas, my father just told me to be careful and brief when talking to witchers."
"Mr. Abel is not a bad person. On the contrary, he is committed to reviving the witcher branch in Helmgart. He said that there is a fortress called Tar's Horn Fortress on the Grey Mountains, where witchers used to work. , he and his companions have taken over there." Ryan massaged Surya's legs gently, and he could feel the female knight's body a little stiff.
Whether it is the Seiko Vibranium Plate Armor blessed by the Emperor himself, the Sword of Leonathay blessed by the Fairy in the Lake, or the White Wolf God's Cloak blessed by the White Wolf God of War Uric, they are all divinely blessed weapons. Surya is equipped with these at the same time, which is a great burden on the female knight's body.
Not to mention the golden double-headed eagle ring on her left ring finger.
Sure enough, Ryan could feel the tightness of Surya's back and thigh muscles, which was a sign of tiredness: "Are you tired?"
"It's okay, I just wore this set of equipment at the same time at the beginning, it's very uncomfortable." Suria let Ryan press and use psionic energy to help her relax her muscles, but she blushed a little.
Although this man was her husband, Surya, who was born noble, was still shy.
"Slowly, you'll get used to it." Ryan helped his wife with a massage, and took advantage of it. The man looked at the heavy snow outside the window: "Also, at any time, don't take off the ring I gave you."
"Any time?" Surya changed her position, lying on the pillow and letting Ryan massage her slender waist: "But the lady once asked me to take it off, and I did the same, and she quickly returned it to her. I'm okay, okay?"
That's why the fairy in the lake can easily possess you! My stupid wife! The muscles on Ryan's face twitched a bit. He didn't object to the three of them being together. Since Sulia agreed with him and had no reason to object, he felt that his wife was the most devout believer of the fairies in the lake. The sticky lake **** witch Morgiana, unknowingly, he has been firmly tied to the camp of the fairies in the lake, and the binding is still very tight.
Forget it, that's fine. If Ryan wants to become a king, he absolutely cannot do without the support of the fairies in the lake. Ryan can't say how much the fairies in the lake like him, but at least for now until the future, he and the fairies in the lake have the same goals. .
Confront Chaos and prepare for the end.
"What's wrong? Ryan, what are you thinking?" Suria found that Ryan was distracted.
"I'm thinking, whether I plan to attack the Blackstone stronghold occupied by the great undead wizard Heinrich Kemler, or prepare to retake Musillon." Ryan moved the topic without a trace.
"Why do you think about this all of a sudden?" Surya's long blond curly hair covered her back, and Ryan ran his fingers through her hair to massage her: "This involves strategic planning, the former will help me unify all the countries in the country. Duke's strength and the friendship of the dwarves, who helped to increase my personal prestige and march towards the Duke's throne."
Surya lay on the pillow and thought for a while, she whispered: "Personally, I would prefer you to attack the Blackstone stronghold, because the undead wizard Heinrich Kemmler is the mortal enemy of his father, he The existence of it may also threaten the Duchy of Winford, if you plan to attack the Blackstone stronghold, my father will support you fully."
"Yes, this is a reason." Ryan nodded. Although the female knight's argument was selfish, it was still a reasonable suggestion. The Duchy of Winford has prospered for many years, and there are more than 4,000 registered knights! Ryan had only two hundred knights at his own expense.
"The second reason, Ryan, you have risen too fast. Now you want the nobles of the kingdom to see your ability and make them feel that you are qualified to continue moving towards the position of the duke. If you are so rash and direct Attack the Duchy of Connaught or the city of Mousillon, and the nobles of the entire kingdom will know that you aspire to be a duke, which will give everyone the impression that a lady's chosen champion is eager to add to his crown." Suria Then he said softly, "Don't forget, you've been in Brittany for seven years, and you've already triple-jumped. In terms of seniority, even if you have a lady's favor, you're too fast."
Ryan thought about it carefully and felt that it was indeed the case, baron, earl, he is now the husband of the marquis.
That's right, since marrying Suria, Ryan's title has been added to the title of a marquis husband, which is equivalent to raising his earl title by half a rank. Although Suria's marquis title is somewhat watery, But this title of Marquis is real.
Surya prefers the title of Countess, which does not mean that she has given up the title of Marquis.
"Also, Ryan, you should start to make a baron." Seeing that Ryan was silent, Suria knew that he had listened, but her opinion did not meet Ryan's expectations, and the countess simply continued: "You always It's not good to govern all of your own territory directly."
"Isn't it bad to be directly under the jurisdiction?" Ryan said with a smile: "I can manage it."
"Then can you manage it in the future? Ryan, my husband, you always like to do things yourself. You can do this when you are a baron, and you can do this when you are an earl, but what about the future? If you become a duke, a king , do you want to do everything yourself? For example, Hux, Olivier, Armand, they are all very capable people, but they have no chance to play. Hux is an excellent talent who graduated from Imperial College. Your subordinates are only responsible for training the infantry regiment. Olivier is an excellent knight recommended by the Grand Duke of Marienburg. You only let him deal with bandits. And Armand, His Excellency Armand is a Holy Grail Knight. He can't be you forever. The flag officer, right? And that Lucien, he is a knight who graduated from Winford College. He is very talented. His father specially gave him to you, but he has not been reused yet." Sulia stroked Ryan's face: " Get ready early and you won't be unattended when you need it in the future."
Ryan sighed: "My lady, it's my luck to marry you, Yuri's misfortune!"
"Brother's misfortune? Ryan, what are you talking about?" Suria was sweet at first after hearing the first half of the sentence, and a little strange when she heard the second half.
"You have no problem with being the heir of Francois." Ryan also lay down, took Suria into his arms, and joked: "Julie doesn't have this level, he seems to be ready to start the Holy Grail test. Practicing."
"You are not allowed to talk about brother! Brother is just cold and obsessed with the way of knighthood. He doesn't really understand some things, but he doesn't want to spend time thinking about it!" Suria pinched Ryan's waist angrily. : "My father was also when he was young. It wasn't until he completed the road to the Holy Grail and returned to inherit the duke's title that he began to calm down... When my father was young, he even went to a duel with other knights for a dancer!"
"Oh, oh! Tell me in detail!" Ryan said with a smirk. He didn't expect a wise and refined old man to have such a past?
"Ah! Ryan, you bastard!" Only then did Sulia realize that she said something she shouldn't have said, and the female knight blushed: "It's time to rest."
"Yeah, it's time to rest." Ryan's hand gently untied the waist tie of Surya's white nightdress.
…………
Two days later, Cyric led, Helmgart.
In the snowstorm, Ryan and his party arrived at the foot of the gray mountain range. In the distance, a magnificent city built on the mountainside has come into view.
Helmgart is a very important trading town in Rickland. It is both a city and a fortress. There are about 3 permanent residents in the whole city. The empire has thousands of troops stationed here, guarding the axe. Bite the pass and deal with frequent bandits and greenskins, while also guarding against a possible invasion of Brittany.
The entire fortress city consists of three walls, which are carved out of the granite mountainside, the city is located in mid-air from a distance, and a wall extends from the city to the other side of the valley, and no stowaways can smuggle there. Tall walls and a single gate.
"The ruler of Helmgart is Count Reinhardt-von Mackensen, and his title of earl is quite special~www.wuxiaspot.com~ is a frontier earl, a half-level high ordinary earl, and the emperor granted him more independence. However, if he cannot hold Hemgart, the frontier earl may be replaced at any time." Rudolph introduced to Lane: "Helmgart said that there were only three permanent residents, but in fact The resident population should be more than 5,000, and the floating population can reach more than 10,000. The city has always been rich in taxes, but the military pressure is also very heavy, and the Battle of Helmgart broke out a few days ago."
Ryan shrugged, and he watched the battle. Emperor Karl relied on a perfect flank charge and finally defeated the army of Palaon Duke Kasvann.
"Helmgart has a garrison of more than a thousand troops, the most famous being the Mackenson Musketeer Team. The more than 300 Musketeers are all good, and they are always at war with the greenskins of the Grey Mountains, bandits and beastmen tribes. "Wagner also explained: "This musket team is equipped with the best long-barreled firearms produced by the Noor Arms Factory."
The group gradually approached Helmgart, as usual, seeing the coat of arms of the Rick Guards Knights, the guards did not dare to neglect, and immediately waved to let go.
Not long after entering the town, a group of hawking dwarves caught Lane's attention.
"Sell all kinds of iron gloves, shields, pickaxes, axes! All kinds of two-handed axes, two-handed hammers and handguns are on sale! All kinds of dwarven gauntlets, dwarven helmets, and dwarven plates are on sale!" Selling within the bazaar of Hemgat, a famous frontier trade fair, where wine and brandy from Brittany, fine cloth and high-quality warhorses are sold, and dwarf merchants sell iron Ingots, lead, silver, and dwarven weapons, and of course, the Rikling merchants who sold Imperial stout and grain.
"Huh, isn't that???"
