The Sun King's Evidence

PS. In the latest chapter, in order to ensure the original effect, I quoted a short paragraph of the translation. Many people here said that I copied (x). In this case, I will quote the translation part Deleted. I will try my best to avoid using translations to cause unnecessary controversy in the future. I would like to apologize to everyone here.

I did something wrong in this matter, and I will try not to quote it in the future, causing some readers trouble.

I will admit if I make a mistake, but I will not tolerate behavior such as intentionally pacing others. If this happens, I will delete the post.

The knights charged into battle on horseback. Among the fragile beastman troops, there were only some horned beasts and horned beasts who used spears and bows, as well as chaos war dogs. These bastards were completely wiped out by the knights with a simple charge.

Putting away the warhammer, Ryan asked Yules: "Are there beastmen infested here?"

"Every spring, these damn beasts always come out of the Arden Forest." Holy Grail Knight Jules was also helpless about this matter: "You know, even the bravest knights can hardly survive. Racing in the forest.”

The Forest of Arden is the largest forest in Britannia. There is a powerful tribe of beastmen in the forest. Every year, the Kingdom of Knights regularly organizes knights to clear them out.

"We haven't tried to send a large force to completely eliminate it, or... the knights can also dismount and fight." Ryan then asked.

"It's just a small thing that the knights don't want to dismount. They swore to the lady that they would risk their lives to accompany her wherever she is in need." Jules nodded: "But our opponents are very cunning. If too many knights enter the Arden Forest, , they will avoid us, refuse to confront us head-on, and then walk out of the forest to attack the weakly defended villages, or they will try to lure the enemy deeper and ambush us deep in the dense forest. After continuous heavy losses, we have given up. We plan to go deep into the jungle to completely eliminate them."

"Well, that's the only way." Ryan felt helpless. In fact, this was not only the case in Britannia, but also in Nord and the Empire. The beasts could continue to retreat into the depths of the forest and various caves. , they can be defeated but difficult to completely eliminate.

Traveling too far into the forest can easily expose supply lines and fragile marching paths to the beastmen.

Then, after another five days of trekking, the army finally arrived at Kurona, the capital of the Knight Kingdom.

Curona was founded on the banks of the Sannes River. This city is known as one of the greatest wonders of the Old World. It was originally one of the giant cities of the High Elves in the Old World. The huge city was covered with embroidered knights. The flags of the twelve principalities of the kingdom, and the city walls are composed of white boulders, which look very imposing from a distance.

The city wall is twenty-five meters high, enough for ten soldiers to walk side by side. Each city gate is engraved with the story of a first-generation Holy Grail Knight, and then countless pointed square houses stretch to a hill. On the hill is a The huge castle, a spire-shaped cylindrical castle inherited from the elven architectural style, rises tens of meters from the ground. There is even a waterfall flowing down from the heights of the castle in the hill behind the castle - it is said to be a gift from the fairy in the lake.

After the founding of Britannia hundreds of years ago, Arthur did not choose Bastogne Castle, where he was born, as the capital of the kingdom. Instead, it made sense to choose Curona in the north of the kingdom. The transportation here is well connected. , the land here is fertile and wild.

The wandering knight Lops rode up to Ryan and said with a smile: "I have heard for a long time that the Lion Ring Racecourse in Britannia is the largest and best in the old world. I must go and see it this time."

"Haha, is it the Lion's Ring Racecourse? When I was young, I also participated in the Knights Tournament there!" Holy Grail Knight Jules took over the topic with a smile: "That place is the holy place for all the knights in Britannia. oh!"

"Want to hear the details!" Ryan also became interested.

So Jules talked in detail and proudly about this racecourse that made all Brittanians proud from the bottom of their hearts. It was also the largest and best racecourse in the old world. It was a huge stone oval building. Inside, there are layers of seats arranged according to class. The racecourse, which is more majestic than the main castle, is confirmed to have existed before the founding of Britannia. It was transformed by the kingdom after the elves abandoned it.

"That knight's tournament must be exciting, right?" Alfred asked excitedly.

"It's really exciting. I advanced all the way to the semi-finals." Jules stroked his beard, as if remembering what happened when he was young, and smiled from the bottom of his heart.

"The top four? If Lord Jules can only reach the top four, then we may have been eliminated long ago!" Some young knights errant laughed.

"No way, I swear in the name of my lady, I tried my best, but I still lost to a great knight. Francois defeated me in the semi-finals, and then defeated Theodore in the finals. Rick won the championship of that knight's tourney, that was forty-eight years ago. As you know, the tourney is held every five years." Jules still said with a smile, as the Knight of the Holy Grail, He has a good temper and has long looked down upon the past.

"François, who is he?" Alfred continued to ask.

"Hehehe~ I have to ask Yuli and Miss Sulia about this." Ryan said with a smile: "This Mr. Francois is now the Grand Knight of the Holy Domain and the Knight of the Holy Grail. His full name is Francois De-Ann. Terry.”

"Is it?!" Alfred opened his mouth wide, and he looked at the brother and sister.

The female knight showed a beautiful smile but remained silent. Julius replied calmly: "He is my father, the current Duke of Winford."

"...I'm sorry." Alfred apologized quickly, but the Aintree brothers said it didn't matter. On the contrary, they were all proud of their father.

"Speaking of which, can I also participate in the martial arts tournament?" Ryan suddenly became interested. He had heard about the rewards of the martial arts tournament. It is said that they are extremely generous. The Lake God Witch, the chosen one of the Lake Fairy, will also personally award the champion. .

"Your Excellency Ryan is bullying others by participating in the tourney, hahaha~" Jules smiled: "The tourney stipulates that the age of the contestants must not exceed twenty-four years old, and Kingdom Knights or Holy Grail Knights are not welcome to join. Don’t look at me, this is a lady’s rule.”

"Hey, why is this like this? I'm thinking about what generous rewards the champion can get!" Ryan complained dissatisfied.

"Then maybe you can ask Julius to tell you that he is the last champion." Julius always had a smile on his face, and he had already inspired the enthusiasm of the knights errant through his words.

"Her Highness Morgiana asked me not to tell anyone, except the Holy Grail Knight." Julius shook his head in the expectant eyes of everyone: "If you are really interested, I can tell you in private, but not now."

"Okay, okay, I respect your privacy, I won't ask anymore." Ryan shook his head with a wry smile. It doesn't matter what the reward is. He can't participate in the martial arts tournament anyway.

The group entered Kurona, and Ryan was placed in the high-end guest house built by the Church of the Goddess of Mercy. The newly promoted Holy Grail Knight was given an independent small courtyard. He will wait here for a while, and the King of Knights will choose a On an auspicious day, a knighthood ceremony will be performed on him.

Lops and Alfred also stayed in the inn in the city. The army was disbanded and returned to their principalities. Both the knights errant and the knights of the kingdom will receive large sums of gold as rewards.

Then these knights stingily separated a small part of the gold into silver coins and put them into small bags, and then handed them over to the serfs one by one. Many serfs weighed the money bags in their hands and were ecstatic. They thanked the knights profusely and brought a bag full of silver coins. It was obviously a gift from the knights. This money would make their life much better this year.

Ryan witnessed this scene. He thought that if in the empire, if the empire's generals dared to use this money as military expenses to hand over to the conscripts, the yeoman farmers would smash this small bag in their faces, and then ask the empire According to the court, a bag of silver coins was regarded as a small gift and additional reward for the soldiers who fought bravely.

But if it weren't for the existence of the Holy Grail Knights and the fact that they went to fight in foreign countries, these serfs would have gotten even less. Even with this money, it would be difficult for them to keep all of it, because the damaged equipment and weapons need to be repaired and repaired. renew.

But generally speaking, the serfs gained a lot from this war. This bag of silver coins was as much as their normal annual income. The serfs also collected a lot of trophies on the battlefield. Every serf who participated in the recruitment also received a lot of trophies. Obtaining a piece of bacon, a bottle of bad cider, and a basket of brown bread brought smiles to the faces of many serfs, who were so eager for war that all serfs would strive to participate in every call-up.

This may be their only chance to change their destiny.

If the infantry can be appreciated by the knights, they can be promoted to sergeants and rangers. These people will enjoy sheltered military barracks and food rations. Although they are not comparable to the knights' castles and delicacies, at least they will enjoy it. It is one of the best enjoyments among civilians, especially the rangers who can receive double the salary, and it is said that they can also eat meat once a week!

It’s just that the knights are a bit stingy today. Only five lucky people were promoted to sergeants, and a small bag of gold coins was handed into their hands. These lucky people will be able to move into the castle to find a new home, and then they will use this bag of gold coins to build a new home for themselves. Purchase a new set of armor and sword and shield (or other weapons) to better serve their knight lord.

After watching a series of rituals, seeing the jealous eyes of other serfs and the ecstatic looks of the new sergeants, Ryan could only shake his head helplessly, and then asked the Aintree brothers and sisters with a wry smile: "What about you? You can do the same. Leave?"

"Sulia and I will work with you until you reach your own fiefdom." Who knew that Julius said something that moved Ryan deeply: "You may not be clear about many things when you first arrive, and we will help you. "

"Thank you very much." Ryan knew that this might be because they were willing to invest in themselves, but he still kept their willingness to help him as a favor.

The long journey finally reached the end, and that night, Ryan rested in the guest house of the Goddess of Mercy Church.

The night in Corona was quiet. Ryan walked alone in the garden of the hotel, and Amelia followed behind him.

"Speaking of it, Emilia, it's really strange that Ms. Mercy put the church headquarters in Corona." Ryan could see patches of roses stained with dew, and bright red roses stained with dew. and other flowers blooming proudly in the garden.

This is actually very strange. It is only the middle of March and the roses should not be blooming at this time.

This is the gift of Thalia, the goddess of mercy. In her churches and temples, flowers will bloom regardless of the season.

"There's nothing strange about this, Mr. Lane, the Lady of the Lake and Lady Mercy are originally allies, and... serfs are forbidden to believe in the Lady of the Lake." Emilia stood behind Lane and said softly.

"Pfft~" Ryan smiled. Indeed, the nobles of Britannia believed that serfs were not qualified to believe in the Fairy of the Lake, and Thalia was an ally of the Fairy of the Lake, and could collect a large amount of faith here, then she would It’s no wonder that the headquarters is set up here.

My little maid often hits the nail on the head when it comes to problems.

But he didn't say much and continued walking deeper into the garden.

A new country, a new environment, everything in front of him is so complicated, and there are many things he needs to think about and deal with.

He didn't know whether the current King of Knights had the trust of the Fairy of the Lake, or what the attitude of the great nobles of Britannia was toward him. If he just wanted to be a Holy Grail Knight with peace of mind, then these things actually didn't matter. Because of his status, other nobles are unlikely to touch him.

In fact, Ryan has always been depressed. This world is different from the world he lived in before and the world his father lived in. In the medieval background of this world, the sentencing of various punishments is actually very vague. For example, In the Aesthetic Society incident, the nobles did not want to take the lead and strongly advocated not punishing Edmund. Therefore, when Edmond was charged with such a big crime, the House of Lords of Marienburg only gave him a The penalties for banning senators and changing their positions are too light.

But the situation in Marienburg was such that this commercial city had autonomy. Even if Schulz was the Grand Duke of Marienburg, he could not directly convict him.

Edmund was inexplicably saved in this way.

But when the young nobleman was deeply corrupted and accidentally exposed himself at the banquet, the nobles of Marienburg decided to put aside the relationship and collectively decided to kill Edmund. There was not even a procedure involved. No need to leave.

Ryan is also in the same situation now. As a Knight of the Holy Grail, the king has no right to manage him. As long as he doesn't mess around, the king and the nobles will turn a blind eye to many things.

Brittania is the land of knights. In this place, serfs are still serfs no matter how hard they work, and knights are still knights no matter how miserable they are. There is an insurmountable gap between the two.

Have serfs ever entered the aristocracy in history?

have!

From the first Knight King Arthur to the present, serfs have been promoted to nobles five times in hundreds of years of history.

Yes, only five times.

So Ryan must be careful in every next step.

Only he knows what he wants.

After turning an intersection, her golden waist-length curly hair was flashing among the fiery red rose bushes. Seeing Ryan appear, this person was not surprised: "Mr. Ryan?"

A new volume has begun, and the protagonist will change from a knight to a lord and aristocrat. Please support me, readers.
