The Sun King's Evidence

Old World, Britannia, Duchy of Bordeleaux, Bodryux.

The banquet gradually entered its peak stage, with guests laughing heartily and various activities taking place in endlessly.

"Ah! It's you!" "Oh! Mr. Lane, we meet again." Just when Lane and Sulia were trying to do a painting activity, a handsome male noble brought a golden A girl with short hair and a petite figure appeared in front of the two people.

The girl with beautiful blue eyes had a face full of disgust, as if she had seen something dirty. Out of politeness, she seemed to say hello reluctantly: "Hello, Mr. Ryan, may your pool be like a fish." As clear as a pond.”

Ryan wanted to laugh a little when he heard this. This was obviously the irony of carrying a gun and a stick, but he was too lazy to get to know this girl: "Hello, Miss Fiona, hello, Mr. Mathhubard!"

"Oh, what a perfect pair! Mr. Ryan, I'm really jealous of you for having a female companion like Miss Sulia." Mahhubard looked very enthusiastic, and he stretched out his hand proactively: "You Okay, Miss Sulia, would you be honored to meet me? I am Mashubade, from the Principality of Connet."

Sulia remained calm. The sincere and brilliant smile on the female knight's face dropped, and immediately switched to a standard aristocratic social smile. Seeing Mathubad's hand paused in the air, she finally Still holding hands with him.

In normal aristocratic communication, if the woman does not take the initiative to extend her hand, the man cannot take the initiative to extend her hand.

Mathhubad's etiquette was perfect. He immediately let go after just a slight exertion, then approached Ryan very familiarly and said enthusiastically: "I told Mr. Ryan, we will meet again."

"Yes, we did meet again." The other party was so enthusiastic, and Ryan didn't feel comfortable giving a cold look. He looked curiously at Fiona, who was holding Mathubad's arm, with an interested look on his face: " Can you share? How did you become Miss Fiona’s best man?”

"It's not convenient to share this." At this point, Mahhubard couldn't help but feel proud, but he still decided to keep this secret.

In fact, as Mathhubad said, the granddaughter of the Duke of Belian next to him is much easier to deal with than imagined.

Before he met Fiona, the little princess wanted to stir up trouble in Bordeaux as always. She first bought a piece of jewelry from a roadside shop, and then falsely accused the shopkeeper that there was a problem with the workmanship and asked for During the return and exchange process, she unreasonably chose a piece of jewelry that was worth far more than the previous one. She said she wanted the store owner to teach her a lesson, and this was compensation for her.

This is actually unreasonable, but Fiona always succeeds because the businessmen are unwilling to offend the nobles, and her method has been tried repeatedly.

So after carefully observing Fiona's temper and character, Mahhubard took action.

This young knight was really handsome, young and energetic. He gave Fiona a three-point favorable impression as soon as he appeared. Then he politely asked what happened, and then "uprightly" adjusted the businessman and the knight. When adjusting the conflicts between the great nobles, he undoubtedly favored Fiona, but he also wisely said some good things for the businessmen, and finally reached an agreement reluctantly.

This was a stepping stone. Relying on his performance, he successfully made friends with Fiona.

Matthew Bader grasped Fiona's temper very well - facing the eldest lady, the young knight treated her as a princess who could not take care of herself, which made Fiona very satisfied. I feel that I have been respected this way.

So he easily established a connection with Fiona. After tactfully revealing that he had no female companion and making an invitation, Fiona naturally became his female companion.

"Your Excellency Ryan, we are really destined. Perhaps it is the glory of the Lady of the Lake that keeps us meeting again and again? I think we can find a place to have a drink together and have a good chat?" Mashubade made another decision Inviting, Fiona turned her head away and looked to the side, obviously not wanting to pay attention to him.

"What do you think? Sulia?" Ryan was a little undecided for a moment. This world is not like when he was on Earth in his previous life. It was easy for each other to meet each other. It is indeed a world where they can meet each other multiple times in a row. Kind of fate.

"I listen to you." The female knight looked gentle, saying that she listened to Ryan.

"Then..." Just as Ryan was about to agree, a richly dressed nobleman in a feather hat and loose dress emerged from the crowd and found Ryan: "Your Excellency Ryan? The Duke has invited me to lend you a little time. What?"

Ryan recognized him. He was Baron Tristan Le Mans, Duke Bodric's vassal, a powerful naval admiral.

"Sorry, Mr. Mahhubard, it seems I'm going to excuse myself." This is the Duke's banquet. He wants to see him. Ryan can't refuse: "Sulia, wait for me for a moment, I'll be back soon."

The well-dressed Duke's daughter shook her head: "It doesn't matter, I'll wait for you to come back."

After making an apologetic gesture, Ryan followed Baron Tristan and left, leaving Sulia, Mathubad and others to talk.

At this time, a new dance music was played in the crowd, and Mathubad immediately said to Fiona: "Miss Fiona, would you be honored to dance with you?"

"It's boring, boring." Fiona wanted the freshness of the banquet, but the girl had already tried various games at the banquet before. This kind of large banquet is not unusual for girls. So she refused: "I'm not interested."

"Um." Mashubade scratched his head and stretched out his hand towards Sulia: "Then...Miss Sulia?"

"No, no need, I'm tired and want to find a place to rest." The female knight shook her head calmly and declined Mathhubard's invitation: "I think many ladies are willing to accept Mr. Mathhubard's invitation. Is not it?"

After saying this, the female knight and Fiona nodded politely and walked towards the corner.

"Hmph, it's really boring. I don't know why Sister Sulia accepted the invitation from someone like that." Fiona muttered impatiently: "That's enough, it's annoying to death. It's really boring. Mahhubard, let's go. .”

Mahhubard nodded quickly and bowed: "Okay, let's go, but where should we go next? Miss Fiona?"

"Didn't you always say that you wanted to go to the port and have a look? Then let's go there and have a look!"

"OK."

…………

Entering the inner courtyard, Duke Bordero, Bodrick, was standing in a turret of the castle waiting.

In the distance, the port of Bordero was glowing in the dark night.

The wharf of Bodliux is still working. Even from such a distance, many workers can still be seen loading and unloading goods with torches. A small town has been formed near the wharf, and many people live in the town. There are also several dirty pubs for residents who rely on the docks to make a living.

Therefore, Bodrick ordered that the port and the castle be completely isolated, and heavily armed infantrymen guarded the road from the port to the city, so that the noble knights would not be affected by the filth and bandits in the port.

The Duke would use every opportunity to clean up the area. If a plague occurred, he would order the area to be immediately razed to the ground, thoroughly cleaned and then rebuilt. This had actually happened three times since Bodrick took the throne.

"My Duke, are you looking for me?" Ryan came to the turret. He noticed that Anatole, the high-precision mage he had met before, was also there. At the same time, the big businessman Ismail, a lake god prophet and a hunter were also there. Demon Abel is also there.

There is also a beautiful witch beside Abel. She has fiery red hair and a strong and beautiful face. Her long hair is draped down her shoulders. She is holding Abel's hand. It seems that she is the one that the witcher will never forget. The witch Jelena.

"Ryan, Ryan Macado, the champion of the ladies." Bodrick stood in front of the turret, motioning for Ryan to look side by side at the Port of Bodriux: "Look, this is the largest port in Britannia. The port is also the place of Mannann's blessing. Countless ships depart from here every day, going to Marienburg, the Southern Kingdom, Ulthuan, Lustria, Seagate Pass and even the Northern Wasteland. Soil trade.”

"I understand, my Duke." Ryan reached out and stroked his chin. He was still young so he didn't have a beard: "This is the pearl of western Britannia."

"But this pearl has been invaded by dark elves all year round. Whenever these beasts have the opportunity, they come here to burn, kill and loot, taking away the population and loot." Bo Derek picked up his wine glass, the goblet was dark red. "Manann's Enjoyment" is glowing in the moonlight: "I have a plan, Ryan, will you listen?"

"I won't make a decision until I hear the plan, my Duke." The sea breeze blew Ryan's face, and also blew his black middle-parted hair slightly. Unlike many knights, Ryan never wore a helmet.

"I plan to launch a complete counterattack against the dark elves, these damn bastards." Bo Derek raised his wine glass and clinked it with Ryan: "I need enough manpower, some more manpower besides my direct vassals."

Ryan lay gently on the window sill, letting the sea breeze blow on his face. The young Holy Grail Knight understood what Duke Bordeaux meant, but he looked a little hesitant: "My Duke, it seems that we should Let’s solve the problem of the Blood Red Duke first.”

"No, the Blood Red Duke matter has proven to be insurmountable even after spending a lot of time and energy. I have given up wasting more energy on this mess." Bo Derek shook his head one after another. He looked very disdainful: "We can We defeated the Blood Red Duke again and again, but once we approached Mousilon, we could only return without success again. I am tired of this cat-and-mouse game, and now my main focus will be on fighting the Dark Elf pirates. .”

Ryan opened his mouth, and the Holy Grail Knight realized that it was inconvenient for him to persuade any more. He could only follow Bo Derek's words and said: "Then what can I help you? My Duke?"

"Your bravery is the best help to me, and everyone here." Bo Derek nodded, and he motioned for everyone present to listen to him: "I need your help, I want to plan this wave of repeated harassment. Dro's dark elf pirates were wiped out in one fell swoop."

"After this group of dark spirit pirates is completely eliminated, I can rest assuredly relinquishing my responsibilities and pursue the Holy Grail."

"Of course, that's why I'm here." Anatole, the high-precision mage, nodded: "The dark elves are our common enemy."

Demon hunter Abel shook his head: "I'm sorry, my Duke, demon hunters do not participate in these secular disputes. The rules between us do not allow us to get involved in these."

Bodrick's brows furrowed, and his tone was full of pressure: "Are you sure, my witcher? Do you know who you are rejecting? You will become persona non grata in Bordeaux, and you The witch you are looking for will also be driven out of this place because of your decision."

Abel also frowned. He realized that he was in a dilemma. If he agreed to the duke, he would violate the witcher's code. If he refused the duke, the witch Elena he finally found would be implicated by him: " this……"

"Wait a minute, my Duke, can you tell me when you plan to take action?" Ryan interrupted Bo Derek's words. It was obvious that he didn't like Bo Derek's strength: "The Dark Elf Pirate's The hauntings are irregular, we can't possibly spend a lot of time waiting here, right?"

"...Currently, my plan is still in the stage of recruiting people. The last time the dark elves appeared was two years ago, and the next time is estimated to be two or three years away." Bo Derek was distracted by Ryan. Gritting his teeth: "The last time they appeared, these damn bandits reduced the entire village to ashes. At the same time, they skinned all the guards and nailed them to wooden stakes at the entrance of the village."

"My Duke, demon hunters need to accept commissions to maintain their lives. They cannot absorb the heat of the sun or the essence of the moon to survive." Ryan made a little joke that made everyone smile, and then continued: "Similarly, I also It is impossible to wait for the arrival of the dark elves in your castle, but I think we can reach some cooperation, the dark elves are a threat to everyone."

"Haha~ Maybe you are right, the lady's champion, I was a little too hasty. You know, I don't have much time." Bo Derek was amused by Ryan, and the Duke's expression eased slightly, and he explained to Ryan Said: "I am over eighty years old this year, Ryan, and the time left for me to pursue the Holy Grail is getting less and less. Unlike you, I have won the recognition of the lady early. I hope you can give more to an old man who longs for the Holy Grail. understanding."

"I will, Lord Bodrick."

The discussion in the corner tower continued.

On the street of Bodrix, a carriage was passing slowly.

"The city looks really lively tonight, as if the Duke of Bordeaux is holding a grand banquet."

"Want to go down and have a look? Catherine?" A mature and sweet female voice came from inside the car.

"Um... no, Congressman, we'd better rush to Baron Jean." A soft voice said with some panic.

"Haha~" The mature female voice was noncommittal, but she soon discovered something: "Huh? Isn't that girl...Catherine? Please help me see, that girl, yes, that's the one."

"Ah! Congressman, isn't that Miss Amelia?"

"Yeah, why is she here?"

Updated, please vote for recommendation! Another: In Hammer 2, the Lake God Witch Morgiana was killed by the Skaven, hahahaha~
