"Of course, I also feel very honored." Su Liya didn't even hesitate, and the female knight immediately put her little hand in white velvet gloves on Ryan's big hand.
"Thank you very much." Ryan let out a sigh of relief, which made it much easier.
He felt that the female knight always offered a helping hand when he needed it most, which made his heart warm.
Moreover, Su Liya still participated in this banquet in her own name. What this means to an unmarried marquise, Ryan understands, and Su Liya also understands.
There is a tacit understanding between them.
After three days, the two parties agreed to gather at Ryan's side first, and then headed to Poldero together.
Bordreux, the capital of the Principality of Baldello, is not far from the Jean-Legend, the territory of Lion. The road is full and it takes up to two days to walk. Lion intends to arrive a day earlier. By the way, you can also visit the Poseidon Knights first. Headquarters and rich Bodleux.
Ryan doesn't need too many guards, but as a lord, he definitely can't go on the road alone like before. He can do everything himself, which is too cheap.
As always, it was not convenient for the female knight to spend the night here. After an appointment with Ryan, she rode away on a Pegasus, leaving Emilia behind.
After studying in Winford for half a year, Emilia matured very quickly, but in front of Ryan, she was still the charming little maid. She hadn't seen her for a few months. Emilia's eyes were shining, and she was sitting. Ryan's side whispered: "Mr. Ryan, I have heard about you. You destroyed the Ten Thousand Demon Rock and completely defeated the Beastman tribe."
"It's not a big deal, Emilia, I should do it to eliminate those wild orcs in the forest." Ryan didn't take this matter seriously, but Emilia was very serious: "No, Mr. Lane, you have guarded this country. You are the best."
"Speaking of, I could still rely on my disguise technique to help you before, but I can't help you in anything now, Mr. Lane." Emilia pursed her thin lips, her face very aggrieved: "If this goes on, I will be disgusted by Mr. Lane."
"Haha~ How can I dislike you, Emilia, you have helped me a lot in many places." Ryan knew that Emilia always wanted to repay her kindness but couldn't find a way, so He took the initiative to say: "By the way, it happens that I am going to Bodleux next, do you want to go with me?"
"Hey? Can you?" Emilia's eyes lit up.
"Well, Olica doesn't like traveling far, so you can go with me this time. There is nothing wrong with the college, right?"
"No."
"Well, this time you will go to Bodleux with me."
"good!"
...
At the same time, Brittany, the Duke of Connaught, the cursed city of Moussilon.
Many places of the tall city walls have been trapped in the swamps. The port city is occupied by the fleeing serfs and various unidentified creatures. The streets are dark and gloomy. Under the huge wall, the daily sunshine hours No more than three hours, so most of the residents here have pale skin and listless spirits.
The city's economic circulation system is still a mystery. There are taverns, brothels, drug parlors, brawling pits, and other darker and degraded places where people can be addicted. The shops here generally sell pornography, cult ornaments and various poisons and assassination equipment, but there seems to be no normal life shops in any city such as food shops and tailor shops.
Most of the residents seem to have weird work to be done out of the city. Every day there are trucks and ships loaded with necessities that arrive in the city. Among them, the blood lords and vampire cavalry often haunt the crowd, but the blood nobles and the residents here do not. In a situation of ignoring each other, as long as the serfs were willing to pay taxes or sell blood, the vampires allowed them to live here.
At the same time, it is also the biggest den of stolen goods in Brittania. Although they do not want to admit it, in fact, many glamorous rogue knights always like to send their illegal gains here to sell stolen goods. Vampires buy stolen goods in large quantities. Resale and obtain huge profits, but no one knows how they dispose of these goods.
Today, a carriage slowly drove into Musilon, and the carriage was driven by four dead horses.
That's right, the four horses have become undead, and have lost all their flesh and blood.
This made the residents shudder. They took the initiative to avoid the road of bone horses entering the city. The bodies of these bone horses were withered, and only their eyes had the cyan soul fire burning.
In the gloomy carriage, a low, dry, hoarse voice was answering another young and energetic voice.
"Ah~ I don't know how much time has passed and how much time has passed. I finally came to the old world again. The signs of divination and prediction indicate that we need to collect more materials if we want our Lord to return from the darkness." Said the low, dry, hoarse voice.
"Materials? Godfather, if we want the Necromancer to return, what materials do we need to collect?" The young voice replied. This voice sounded extremely bold and aggressive, and at the same time full of hatred.
"We need to find the nine books compiled by our lord. At the same time, we also need to collect enough magical launch vehicles to serve as sacrifices to guide our lord back." The hoarse voice continued, "Ah~ there are only nine volumes. The remaining magic power in the book can solve the mystery, and only enough sacrifices can attract the shattered remnant soul of our lord back to this world and complete the rebirth."
"One of the books was sealed in Brittania. I can sense that it is in the territory of the Duchy of Berleón. My godson, it's time. It's time to start our plan. We It has been prepared for several years."
"The Scarlet Duke proved to be an incompetent man. Pure warfare cannot defeat these chivalrous knights. We need to infiltrate and then disintegrate this country from within."
"I will destroy this hypocritical kingdom based on lies and deceit! Godfather!" The young voice was full of hatred and pain: "I will end it all by myself, with my hands and a long sword."
"Very good." The hoarse voice was full of unexplained happiness: "Besides, we have another goal."
"That is... She has always been mysterious, but we can..."
"Let's get started."
...
Five days later, Ryan waited as expected for Suria who came to meet him.
The female knight took her maid Sylvia and five knights at the same time. They were all loyal knights of the Winford family, who came to protect her and serve her.
At this level, Su Liya, as a marquise, would certainly not be able to do some chores, and her maid Sylvia actually rarely did chores, and those who travelled must be fully prepared.
Ryan did not plan to bring too many people, as he planned, he only brought Emilia and his butler Katzenberg, and at the same time there were five sergeants, received from Baron Jean Bodleux only needs more than a day's journey, and the journey is not dangerous.
It just so happened that Ryan ordered a luxurious carriage, so he arranged the three girls to rest in the carriage, while he was riding on the Thoroughbred Warhorse Grape, in front of the carriage, chatting with his housekeeper, Katzenberg .
"The weather is getting colder and colder. When we get back to Gene, we are almost ready for the winter." Ryan raised his head, and the cold wind in late autumn passed by like a scraper, Brittany. Compared with Nord, Ya is not so cold, but its seaside and humid climate is destined to the power of this damp cold wind. The weaker Emilia wants to come out and speak with him, but Ryan directly drives back. Go into the carriage and wrap yourself in a blanket to keep out the cold.
"Yes, this is a bumper year, my baron, we can have a good year, this is the blessing of the lady." Katzenberg nodded, the butler's face showed a relieved expression: "I Baron, can I tell you the truth?"
"you say."
"I always thought that the Baron, as a holy grail knight, would not be so interested in governing his own territory... but my Baron, your ability in internal affairs is really excellent. Now it seems that you don't need much assistance. There are many things you can handle well by yourself." Katzenberg's tone was calm.
"But because of this, I need you. After all, I am a holy grail knight serving ladies, not a courtier." Ryan nodded first, then shook his head: "My main energy will still be on war."
"Then please allow me to continue to assist you, my baron." Katzenberg said immediately: "We need each other."
"Perhaps this is the case." Ryan agreed to the housekeeper's request. Judging from his performance in several months, he was indeed very good: "By the way, can you tell me about your past? Your family turned out to be what for?"
"It's an executioner, my baron, and I'm a descendant of Baron Baffar. Of course, this is already five or six generations ago. Baron Baffar was once a famous executioner of Winford. When the believer executes the torture, the subject will be tied to the stake and pierced to death, and then completely ignited and turned to ashes."
"Oh, that's really a **** profession." Ryan exclaimed.
"Yes, my baron, but unfortunately, because I am not directly born, I cannot inherit any position or benevolence, and my family is unable to purchase knight equipment for me, but I know I can become a courtier, and I Believe this is my destiny, when Lord Lane appeared in front of me, I knew it was time to come out and look for opportunities." Katzenberg continued.
"that's the truth..."
The conversation outside the carriage continued, and inside the carriage, the three girls were also whispering.
Emilia is wearing a brown leather jacket with a white shirt, blue scarf and brown skirt. The girl's moss boots are placed at the door of the carriage, and her legs are wearing black stockings. The girl puts herself Wrapped in the blanket, it caused the other two female knights to ridicule: "Emilia, I told you that Brittany is no better than Empire or Nord. The climate here is relatively humid and it feels very cold. "
"Well, Sister Sulia, Sister Silvia, don't laugh at me anymore." Emilia said aggrievedly: "I'm just...I'm just..."
"Hahaha~" Silvia and Su Liya both laughed, Emilia's careful thoughts are actually very clear to them, because the two female knights are also dressed in short skirts and stockings, but they are more experienced, not only On the outside of the stockings, long-tube cotton socks were added, and a warm bearskin coat was specially worn.
Seeing Su Liya's dignified and elegant appearance, Emilia was a little bit sad and a little bit self-satisfied. The girl seemed to say casually: "It's great, Sister Su Liya, Mr. Lane has actively invited you to be his female companion. , When he and I were in Marienburg, he said that if there is no female companion, he would take me with him."
The female knight moved in her heart. Emilia's words seemed to mean something, so she wrapped her legs in a blanket, holding a bear doll in her arms and took Emilia's words: " If I knew that, I turned down Ryan's invitation. Then Emilia, don't you have a chance?"
"That's not okay. Sister Suria will be sad if Mr. Lane does this." Emilia looks weak and weak: "Anyway, this is also very good. I am very satisfied to be able to play with Mr. Lane. NS."
"Hahahaha~" Su Liya couldn't help covering her mouth and snickering. Although the girl in front of her was a little cautious, she was still very kind in nature.
But her maid Silvia suddenly said to her with a blushing face: "Miss, it's actually not good for you to directly agree to Lord Ryan's request like this. It's better to talk to the Duke in anger before talking about it. ?"
"No~ different, Sylvia." Su Liya took her maid's hand and said softly: "Maybe the result is the same, but Ryan's perception will be different."
"But..." The serious Silvia blushed and wanted to say something, but the Duke's daughter then shook her head. She paid attention to the movement outside, and then said in a voice that only three girls could hear: " It's not the same, Silvia, Emilia, Ryan obviously lack confidence in him, and this is the time to let him dispel doubts. Don't hesitate a little bit, otherwise our previous efforts will be wasted. ."
Su Liya didn't say what exactly it was. Silvia and Emilia understood.
Emilia looked at the Duke's daughter's grace and grace, and looked at the yin and yang. The girl sighed softly. She wanted to wait for Ryan to settle down here, and then find a chance to slowly get closer to him. As a result, the speed at which the daughter of the Duke appeared was really surprising, and her personality was gentle and beautiful.
Moreover, Ryan has a different way of getting along with her. He still treats himself as a little maid and sister, but he and the female knight in front of him are rushing to the "that" relationship.
Nothing happened along the way. The three girls got along very relaxed and comfortable. The bearings of the carriage slowly rotated. Su Liya remembered another thing. She held Sylvia's little hand and said : "By the way, Silvia, haven't you always hoped that Ryan could give some advice on your swordsmanship? This time is a good opportunity."
"Huh? But... But." Silvia, who was a bit rigid and serious, blushed immediately: "Go straight up to ask for advice... Isn't it good?"
"Why? Silvia, don't forget, you..." Su Liya said in Silvia's ear, and the maid blushed and nodded: "Well, that's true."
While the girls were still chatting happily in the carriage, Ryan, who was riding outside the carriage, met a young knight.
This young knight is riding a standard Bretonian half-blood elf war horse. The war horse is covered with a red and blue war horse harness embroidered with iris flowers. The knight wears a full set of plate armor and is covered with The black blouse, and the shield is engraved with the pattern of a black lion holding a sword and leaping over it.
This shows that he is a knight of the Duchy of Connet, but the fact that he is not a red and blue coat of arms shows that he is not a knight of the Duke or a direct descendant.
Ryan had never seen this coat of arms.
"Hello, traveler from afar, the noble Knight of the Holy Grail, are you planning to go to Polderro for the banquet?" The young knight said immediately, it seemed that he was not surprised by the appearance of Ryan and others.
"Well, it is, I am Ryan Makado." Ryan said in an interface, "May I ask you who?"
"I am Mathieubad, from the Duchy of Connet, and a ranger knight. If you are not abandoned, can I walk with you?"
After finishing speaking, the young knight seemed to set his sights on the luxurious carriage intentionally or unintentionally.
"Everyone needs a companion on the road."
