The Sun King's Evidence

The sweet and lovely Veronica walked in quickly from the door of the reception room. Her eyes were bright and she shouted aggrievedly: "You guys are here, Uncle Norman, Aunt Sally, Ryan bullied me!"

"Oh! It's Veronica. Why did Ryan bully you?" Norman's lord's wife, the white-haired old lady Sally, said kindly. There was a smile on Veronica's pretty face. Sitting next to the old lady, holding her arm, she pouted and complained: "He is going to marry another woman behind my back!"

"???" Ryan looked confused and didn't understand what was going on.

"Hmph! Although I am old, I am not stupid yet. If this boy Ryan dares to bully you, I will be the first to refuse." Norman, a shrewd old man, knew what was going on as soon as he heard this, and he deliberately made a face : "Just come to me! I still don't believe I can't teach him a lesson!"

There is no doubt that among the women around Ryan, the one who is most familiar with the Normans and has the best relationship is Veronica. After the Witch of Gloria and Ryan became partners, she would often follow Ryan back to the territory of Auternay after the mission was completed. Celebrate the holidays together (and live wildly together) and stay for a few days.

Veronica is a very smart person. She has always acted well-behaved and considerate in front of the Normans, and she is deeply loved by the Normans.

"Veronica~" Ryan knew that he was in the wrong, so he could only lower his head in embarrassment.

The Witch of Gloria just took the opportunity to hit Ryan, meaning that she has a backer, you are not allowed to abandon me, and she doesn't really want to do anything.

"Veronica, does that tall wizard tower we saw when we came here belong to you?" Mrs. Norman kept her eyes fixed on Veronica. The old lady took the hand of the Gloria Witch and said with a smile. .

"Hmph! Ryan is a conscientious person. Yes, that tower is mine, and Ryan helped me build it." Veronica immediately smiled sweetly when she heard the Normans talking about their wizard tower. : "I'll take you to visit later."

"Okay~Okay~"

"Hello, uncle and aunt." Teresa also appeared. She immediately saw Ryan's parents. The sorceress also politely came forward to greet him. The sorceress was also familiar with Ryan's adoptive parents. When she returned to Gloria, During the time in Parliament, I visited the Normans many times.

After Norman got old, he suffered from rheumatism and many diseases. It was Aurora who refined a lot of potions to help him cure his diseases. Norman was very grateful for this, and Ryan also remembered this kindness very much.

"It's Miss Theresa. You are also here with Ryan. This boy Ryan..." Norman immediately understood what was going on. The little old man smiled and said: "Did Ryan bully you too?"

"Hmm~ Yes...a little bit." Teresa couldn't decide whether she should file a complaint or protect Ryan's face. In the end, she could only blush and give a specious answer, but she didn't know This attitude of his own completely exposed himself.

"Hahahahahahahahahahahaha~" Everyone in the entire reception room laughed loudly, and the room was filled with a happy atmosphere. Ryan could only smile bitterly at this.

…………

With the arrival of the Norman couple and the Elector Boris, more distinguished guests arrived one after another. However, some of the distinguished guests did not come to Ryan's territory, but were stationed elsewhere, such as the Royal Wizarding Academy of the Empire and the Alchemy Academy. The alchemist Geert arrived at the royal capital of Kurona. For example, Ryan's godfather, Duke Gryphon, Ivan, went directly to Helen Hilde. Most of the distinguished guests did not come directly to Ryan's territory.

The reason is simple. We can’t live any longer. Ryan has already received Tigris’s elite army, the visiting King of the Eight Peaks Belegar and the Elector Boris, and Axel, the grand leader of the White Wolf Knights. More to come. He can't arrange for too many people.

Although many people wanted to come and visit Tigris, the Supreme Mage announced that he would refuse all visitors. He said that he had something to do for the time being (teaching two witches at Ryan's request) and that he would wait until after Ryan's wedding.

Hearing that Belega, the Lord of the Eight Peaks Mountain, had come to his territory, Ryan also made a request to meet. Who knew that this guy Belega complained that he didn't plan to meet Ryan now, and deliberately staged a show to make Ryan shut out. The King of the Peaks also knew that this was not polite, so Todugan gave Ryan some exquisite dwarf muskets produced by the Angland clan, and sent a message that it was not appropriate to meet now. Ryan had no objection to this, and these muskets changed hands. So he gave them to his two maids, two witches of Gloria, and the businessman Oliver. If he was rejected once, he could get several exquisite dwarf muskets. He would be rejected every day.

Just like that, another two weeks passed, and now it was less than a month before Ryan's wedding.

Today, there is an additional hunting team in the Autumn Sharon Forest.

"Sand~Sand~" The heavily armed Elector Boris, Grand Leader Axel, Earl Lane and Lake God Witch Morgiana all rode their mounts in the forest, among which Lane rode a pure-blood elf war horse. Grape, with his little griffon Imperius, Morgiana riding on the unicorn Sylphan, Elector Boris and Grand Master Axel both riding mixed elf war horses, and There was no doubt that they were "robbed" from Ryan's stable. These two gangsters broke into Ryan's stable to look at his mixed elf war horses, and then each picked one. Ryan had no choice but to give it away to them.

After Morgiana drank the magic potion given by Tigris, she recovered part of her spellcasting ability at an accelerated rate. She is now almost a legendary mid-level spellcaster. When she saw Ryan and others going out to hunt, the Lake God Witch offered to follow them. When she went out for a walk, she spoke very little along the way and mostly just listened to Ryan's conversation in silence.

Several people shot two deer, a wild boar, a few pheasants and hares in the forest, but their main focus was not on hunting. On the contrary, they came out to hunt mainly to chat about recent events.

"...So, the barbarian threat pressure faced by the northern part of the empire and Nord is greatly reduced?" Ryan's boots stepped on the soft forest land, and the dead branches and leaves were crushed by the earl, making a "clacking" sound. .

"You have helped us a lot, Ryan. Imperial General Heilberg has just led the army to win a great victory in Nord that will go down in history. They annihilated more than 20,000 barbarian troops who marched south to plunder. This time there was no one. A barbarian escaped." Boris stared at his one eye and shook his head: "It won't take three to five years for the barbarians to recover."

Ryan was not surprised at all. Once Egil died, it was inevitable that the northern barbarians would be in chaos.

The barbarian tribes that believe in Chaos are themselves representatives of chaos and disorder. These tribes have been fighting and fighting each other in the northern wasteland all year round. No one obeys anyone. No barbarian obeys the rules. They bully the weak and challenge the strong, always in order to obtain Chaos. The four gods just glanced at each other and started fighting with each other.

Therefore, even the barbarian armies that plundered south showed poor discipline and combat effectiveness. They were in internal chaos and attacked each other. Although the barbarians had strong individual combat effectiveness, it was difficult to take advantage when fighting against the well-trained troops of the empire. .

At this time, only the powerful Chaos Champion and Chaos God's Chosen Champion used bloody and iron-fisted methods to unify the entire tribe, make these barbarians obedient, and condense into a powerful fighting force. Therefore, after the death of Egil, the northern barbarians lost a powerful The leaders of the tribe, especially the Skarins tribe near Nord, lost all their elites, their leaders died, and fell into endless civil strife. The little chiefs under Egil refused to obey anyone and hurriedly plundered supplies. Moving south, it was no surprise that these chaotic ragtag groups were wiped out by well-trained Imperial troops.

"That's good news." Ryan nodded silently. The barbarian was sore from being beaten now, and it will take at least a few years.

"I'm just not very happy. That puppy of Karl Franz refused to let the White Wolf Knights fight again. They relied more on their own Rick Guards and the group of chicken knights sent to him by the Griffin Knights... We The brave and powerful White Wolf Knight can only stay in White Wolf City, waiting for the opportunity." Axel's big bald head reflected in the sparse sunlight in the forest, and Ryan noticed that Axel was not bald, he was just Because bald heads are easy to take care of, both Boris and Axel have full beards, which is a symbol of masculinity in the Ulric sect.

Ryan originally wanted to keep it, but his maid, the two witches, and even the Lake Fairy all made it clear that they didn't like him having a beard. Goatees and mustaches were also more popular in Britannia, so in the end Ryan didn't. Grow it into a beard.

"You are asking knowingly, Boris, you know why." Ryan complained helplessly: "Karl Franz was able to narrowly defeat you to become emperor, and you know why."

"It doesn't matter whether I, Boris, become the emperor." Elector Boris said impatiently: "I'm just fed up with the prejudice of Karl Franz's puppy! Ever since he became the emperor, I have been doing the same thing. I do my job well and obey his command, but he would rather let the soldiers led by Rick cross my territory to assist Nord than let the nearby White Wolf City send troops!"

"Hehehe~" Ryan laughed repeatedly: "There will be a time when you are asked to send troops, and Boris, you have nothing to do. There are countless beastman tribes in the Dracowald Forest waiting for you to exterminate. "

"Beastman, Beastman, damn Beastman 'One-Eyed' Kazik, I must kill him." Boris got angry when he mentioned Beastmen: "I took the White Wolf Knights deep into Draco some time ago. We went to Walder Forest to clear out the beastmen, but found no trace of One-Eyed Kazik. After wandering around the forest for more than a month, we only wiped out a few small tribes of beastmen."

"...Besides, is there any other news about the north?" Ryan continued to ask.

"Heilberg is in the limelight this time. According to rumors, Karl Franz will make him Marshal Rick." Axel, the grand leader of the White Wolf Knights, took over the topic. He said boldly: "The Empire In three years, the Royal Academy of Wizards will re-elect the Royal Chief Grand Wizard. The current Chief Grand Wizard Cernus Gehrman, the Supreme Light Mage Odo of the Light Society, and the Great Alchemist Belshazer Geltdu of the Alchemy Academy Confirm to run for election.”

"Hey, Ryan, do you know? Belshazer Geert is a popular person in front of Karl Franz. The emperor consults him on almost everything, and this sneaky guy wearing a gold mask... ...It’s really amazing. I still can’t figure out how he turned hundreds of beastmen and minotaurs into gold-plated statues with a wave of his staff.” Boris walked on the forest path and said roughly: "Although I don't like him, I have to admit that Karl Franz is indeed capable. His Excellency Edbrand Ludendorff, the Grand Duke of Hawkland and Elector Herzig, has already given birth to his son Conrad. - Ludendorff was sent to Nur for training, and King Frank of Nord also decided to send his grandson, Baron Theodrickson, who came to attend your wedding, to serve in the Reik Guard."

This is actually like being a hostage. The electors in the northern part of the empire send their children to the army or academies in the southern part of the empire. On the one hand, they want their children to receive the best education, and on the other hand, they also express their obedience.

The strongest knights in the empire are gathered in the Rick Guards, and the richest and most powerful imperial nobles are also among them, including several sons of electors and local nobles. Some people in the family have become Rick Guards. Guarding is a supreme honor, similar to becoming a Holy Grail Knight in Britannia.

"Is the title of Grand Duke Noor still vacant?" Ryan asked casually with a glint in his eyes.

"Yes, this title was originally supposed to be inherited by Gianni Bernardino, Grand Duke of Wesenland and Elector of Brescia, but Gianni is a teenager and not a direct descendant of the Bernardino family, so he is the most qualified. Emmanuel, who inherited this title, disappeared again. The archmages of the Sky Academy used astrology and compasses many times to predict that Emmanuel was still alive. Emperor Karl-Franz refused to allow Jani to be the Grand Duke of Nuer. , and Jani himself is not interested in being elected emperor. He is now receiving instruction from a Knight Commander of the Knights of the Sun from Talabheim, and wants to become an official Knight of the Sun."

"When do you plan to send your child to be raised by Emperor Karl-Franz?" Ryan said deliberately.

"No!!! My child will only be taught in front of Yurik's holy fire!" Boris immediately yelled: "No one knows what my son will be trained like if he is sent to the empire. I only believe in Yuri." Gram gives me strength! Only within the White Wolf Knights can my sons not be led astray!"

Morgiana, who was riding on Sylphan, rolled her eyes. It was clear that only the Holy Grail Knight was the most powerful knight.

"By the way, Ryan, when you come to Britannia this time, my Lord Yurik has prepared a gift for your wife." Boris realized that he had been teased by Ryan when he came back to his senses, and he didn't take it seriously. , laughed out loud and whispered in his ear: "A priceless gift, we decided to give it to your wife."

"What gift is it?"
