The Sun King's Evidence

The newly established Earl of Glamorgan has jurisdiction over eighteen villages and three towns (Jean, Chinon, and Devon). It has a legal claim to half of Chalon Forest. At the same time, what the Earl of Glamorgan owns can be seized. The legal claim also includes the two villages currently occupied in the Principality of Belion, as well as the vampire stronghold - Spire Palace on the banks of the Graysmoray River in the north of Chalon Forest.

Three new baron titles can be added to the earl territory. Ryan also has ten quotas for kingdom knights and eighty quotas for knights errant. There are strict restrictions on the quotas for kingdom knights, but for the earl, knights errant are theoretical. You can seal as many as you want - provided your finances allow it.

With a population of approximately 56,000 people, the Earldom is already a wealthy land.

Ryan began to send people to gradually take over his new territory. Among them, Theodoric, Duke of Belion, was angry that the king had given part of his land to Ryan, but he had nothing to do - those lands were currently in Estalia. According to the law, since the land was lost and could not be regained for a long time, the king had the right to confiscate and cancel the title.

And something happened that made Theodoric open his mouth.

After Count Tobalo of Estalia heard about this, he took the initiative to order the two villages to be abandoned and allowed to be taken over by the people sent by Ryan, and all the troops were withdrawn.

The southerners were afraid. Every time Ryan came out with news in the past few years, it shocked the continent. He had accomplished countless feats and destroyed countless powerful enemies. Count Tobalo was really afraid of this lady's divinely chosen champion. He and Duke Theodoric had been fighting each other for many years and knew each other's background, but facing Ryan, he really didn't want to fight with the God-chosen champion of the Fairy of the Lake.

This guy is so powerful.

Count Tobalo also sent an envoy to the town of Jean with Estalia's specialties to express his goodwill. Ryan did not refuse and accepted all the orders.

The vassals of my vassals are not my vassals. The war between the Principality of Belion and Estalia is Theodoric's own war and has nothing to do with Ryan. The king can intervene in this war, and other dukes can intervene. , Theodoric's earl can intervene, but it has nothing to do with Ryan.

In July, the height of summer, the Earl's Castle in Lane.

After being promoted to earl, Ryan still set up his headquarters in the town of Jean and his baronial castle. The former Earl of Glamorgan's castle had long since disappeared inside the Chalon Forest. It is said that after experiencing a tragic siege, was razed to the ground.

Ryan's base camp has long been managed by him like an iron barrel, and there is no need for him to move the base camp.

In the morning, the sun was already very dazzling, and at this time Ryan was installing a brand new magic device in the reception room on the second floor.

The sorceress Teresa wore a pearl-mixed waist dress, her long black shimmering hair was tied into a ponytail and placed on her plump chest. She directed the craftsmen to install the magic instrument.

Ryan stood next to her, looking at the sorceress's serious look. The man's eyes held a little pity and unknown emotions. His tone was very soft: "Teresa, do you feel better?"

"Much better." Teresa looked at Ryan with resentment in her eyes, and her silver eyes were full of dissatisfaction: "You will only think of me when something happens."

"I visited you every day when you were in a coma, and I visited you every day after you woke up. I would stay with you for at least half an hour before leaving. Have you forgotten?" Ryan, wearing a crimson earl dress, He is already tall and handsome. After years of testing one after another, Ryan now has a very confident and majestic aura.

This is the hero of mankind.

The beautifully decorated reception room is equipped with all kinds of wooden furniture, and thick curtains have covered all the windows. Even so, there is still a feeling of hotness in the reception room, which can't be helped.

The castle has never been a suitable place to live. It is safe, but not livable. It is very cold in winter and very hot in summer. If it is winter, the castle can be solved by a fireplace, even if it is like Duke Francois. Rich people can install "earth dragons", which are underground heating equipment, in their castles.

There is nothing you can do about it in Xia Tian, ​​just bear it.

Ryan came up with the air conditioner. It is not difficult to make an air conditioner. The magic technology in this world is definitely enough to make similar things. As long as there is a stable energy supply, the air conditioner can run.

Taking advantage of the opportunity when the sorceress woke up but had nothing to do, Ryan told Theresa his idea. Theresa said that it was too simple. Set up a magic circle, and then use metal guidance that can conduct magic power, input With enough energy, the air conditioner can run. It does not require much magic power. With just a little bit of magic power, Ryan can make an air conditioner run continuously for several days.

So many rooms in his castle were equipped with air conditioners. The biggest beneficiary of this was the dark elf Orika. The count's personal maid was born in the cold Nagaros. She didn't like the sultry weather. She had been feeling sick all day, and Olika felt much better after having the air conditioner.

"There are twenty-four hours in a day, Ryan." The sorceress still had complaints in her tone.

"There are only twenty-four hours in a day, Theresa." Ryan complained. He was indeed energetic, but as the new baron, he did have a lot to deal with. If his army hadn't made good progress in taking over the territory, he would have There may be more to do.

"Mother wants to send some witch apprentices to practice in your territory, not only to enhance their spellcasting experience, but also to help you build your territory. Do you need it?" Teresa activated the magic circle and said with anticipation.

"Of course, I welcome it, but my opinion is to wait for you to settle down here first." Ryan nodded, pointing to the luxurious wizard tower outside the window: "Veronica's Dawn Wizard Tower will be opened at the end of this year. It will be completed. Speaker Margarita has spoken to me. She will send twenty witch apprentices here to train Veronica, and a new covenant will be signed between me and the Gloria Council."

Teresa frowned naturally when she heard the news. She knew that she was taking another step slower.

The sorceress wanted to discuss this matter with her mother. Ryan is now a hereditary Earl with increasing authority. She is now a little unsure about how to get along with Ryan: "I'll discuss it with my mother." .”

There are no more than three hundred people in the old world who hold the title of earl. Ryan is already standing at the top of the great noble pyramid, and he is also a very powerful Holy Grail Knight and the God's Chosen Champion.

"Okay, also, the location of your wizard tower should be decided as soon as possible." Ryan nodded.

"Of course, I will definitely build a wizard tower that is not inferior to Veronica." Teresa said angrily. Before Veronica appeared, she was very close to confirming the relationship with Ryan, but in the end she didn't. What comes to mind is that Veronica had an affair with Ryan several years ago, and now she is lagging behind in everything, and even slower than her, which really makes the sorceress very unhappy.

But Ryan is so good that she can no longer keep other men in her eyes. At the peak of legend at the age of twenty-eight, how many people in this world can achieve this by being promoted to earl on their own?

"By the way, there seem to be a lot of knights-errant coming to Jean Town recently? I see that all the hotels in the town are full." The sorceress talked about a topic she was interested in.

"They all want to get enfeoffment from me and come to me for spurs." With a faint smile on Ryan's handsome face, he pointed at the crowd in front of the castle: "Britannia, the country of knights, The descendants and children of every noble automatically enter the knight class, but dear Theresa, do you understand what it takes to truly become a knight?"

"Let me think about it, if you want to become a knight, you have to start as a knight's retinue, until you become a trainee knight, and then wait for the canonization of the nobles, so these knights come to you to be canonized?" Teresa said with great interest. , she took the initiative to hold Ryan's arm.

"There are no trainee knights in Britannia. Knight followers automatically become knights errant when they are recognized, but there are still differences." Ryan nodded: "There is a difference between real knights and virtual knights. For example, Luo in my territory Puth, Olivier and others have real titles, with positions and salaries, while those knights errant have false titles, with nothing but a knighthood, so..."

"Can't you just talk about wandering knights and knights errant? Why make it so complicated?" The sorceress gave him an angry look.

Yes, after Ryan became the earl, the young knights-errant in the entire Knight Kingdom who had not yet been enfeoffed were shocked. Who doesn't want to fight under the lady's chosen champion, and who doesn't want to gallop on the battlefield with the Holy Grail Knight?

By the afternoon, almost the entire town had been filled with self-recommended knights errant. A large group of nearly a thousand knights crowded the streets. They led war horses and wore chainmail or plate armor, under the fierce sunlight. Sweating profusely, he waited for the opportunity to meet Count Lion Macado.

Le Angoulet's "Blue Sea Monster", Bastogne's "Red Fire Dragon", Connet's "Leaping Lion", Lyonnaisé's "Red Lion Head", Bordeaux's "Poseidon" "Trident", Winford's "White Horse", Berleon's "Axe", Carcassonne's "Red and Blue Sword", Montfort's "White Castle", Palaon's "Yellow Pegasus" , the "White Stag" of Gisoleaux.

Today's Jean Town is simply holding a Britannian family heraldry expo. These knights errant will meet with Ryan one by one and undergo inspections of martial arts and culture. The outstanding ones will receive a "probation period" from three months to one year. ”, if they perform well within the probation period, they will be officially appointed as Lane’s knights errant.

Among them, many knights errant are also eyeing the Kingdom Knight quota in Ryan's hands. It is a hurdle for knights errant to advance to the Kingdom Knights. Kingdom Knights mean having their own fiefdom.

Ryan thought about how it was like promoting filial piety and integrity.

Several knights errant who had followed Ryan before were all named Kingdom Knights by him. The five Kingdom Knights are Angron, Armand, Lops, Olivier, and Hux. Ryan also left five Kingdom Knights. quota, waiting for canonization.

Every time a kingdom knight is canonized, it means losing a village directly under the jurisdiction of the kingdom. Currently, Ryan still has fifteen villages under the jurisdiction of the village.

The new Earl began his painful process of selecting knights errant.

At the same time, in the guest room in the castle, the female knight Surya was sitting with her maid Sylvia having afternoon tea.

Sulia was wearing a deep sapphire blue sleeveless and elegant short dress. Her long blond hair hung down to the back of the chair, showing her graceful and luxurious temperament. She picked up the teacup and said with a smile: "It seems to be very lively outside."

"Yes, miss, it is said that more than 800 knights came this time, all wanting to be canonized by Lord Ryan and fight alongside him." The maid Sylvia was wearing a pleated colorful dress with a natural style. She tied up her blond hair. In the back of his mind, he talked about the recent anecdotes: "It is said that many knights errant are looking for people to find out where Lord Lane usually appears in the town, which bar he likes to go to, what kind of drinks he likes to drink, and then they follow suit. Many pubs have It’s sold out.”

"It's normal. Isn't it the same with my father? After he completed the Holy Grail expedition, my father returned to the principality. He liked to go fishing on the river very much, so several knights errant drowned because of this the next year. My father liked to get up early in the winter. After wandering around Helen Hilde, within two days the knights errant began to form a group to hang out together early in the morning, creating 'accidental encounters'." Sulia pursed her lips and smiled.

This is the status of the Holy Grail Knights in the country. Their every move will attract countless people to imitate them. Many people know it and don't know why, but this does not prevent everyone from imitating what the Holy Grail Knights do, because this may make people imitate. They are close to the Holy Grail.

"Speaking of which, Lord Ryan is really amazing. He is already an earl. Miss, you are so happy. He is the person you like, the person who matches you, and the lady's divine champion." Sylvia Her character is very serious, and she said with some sigh: "Your Excellency Ryan's future is limitless."

"Competing every day, there is a lot of pressure." Sulia was also very satisfied with the marriage, but the female knight still said in a low voice: "There is no way, if you want me to be satisfied and have a comparable status, then it is impossible not to Competition, if I don’t compete, the person I’m not competing with is either dissatisfied with me, or the status is unequal, which is why most of us, the daughters of dukes, have unhappy marriages. I’m really lucky.”

"Miss, what do you have to worry about? Emilia and the dark elf Orica are just maids. The witches from the Gloria Council are inherently unable to compete with the lady. Just give them the status of female courtiers." ." Sylvia said disapprovingly.

"...Forget it, you don't understand even after I tell you." Lidya Su glanced upstairs thoughtfully.

For now, the female knight is indeed invincible, but she is always a little uneasy. She always feels like there is a behind-the-scenes manipulator controlling her marriage to Ryan.

…………

The selection of knights errant took three full days. Ryan selected sixty knights errant, all of whom were leaders in various principalities. These knights errant would form the count's knight army.

Having just finished recruiting knights errant, Ryan received another piece of good news.

Veronica's wizard tower is completed ahead of schedule.
