The Sun King's Evidence

"It is a white wolf god's cloak blessed by Ulric. This cloak is covered with frost and can effectively resist most attacks." Boris whispered: "Made from the fine white wolf velvet from Miden's collar. .”

"Thank you very much." This gift is quite good. Ryan once heard that only the bravest followers of Ulric can get this kind of reward. The white wolf god cloak will be worn by a champion warrior of Ulric entering the forest with bare hands. Hunt a white wolf and offer it to Ulric, and then the white wolf's wolf skin will be made into the White Wolf God's cloak by the White Wolf Church.

This cloak is very defensive, but Ryan is a little worried. If the female knight wears this cloak all the time, will she get rheumatism when she gets old?

After thinking about it for a moment, Ryan realized that his worries were in vain. Sulia was very talented. He didn't have to worry about the female knight not being able to withstand the cold. The main reason why Sulia followed him in fewer battles and needed protection was because of Suli. Ya is relatively young, and the female knight is only twenty-four or five years old this year. Unlike Veronica and Theresa who are older and have more time to grow up, they can help Ryan.

The fundamental reason is that Ryan grew up too fast. He is the original gene after all, and few people can keep up with him.

A few people walked for a while, and Elector Boris sighed in a low voice: "Sometimes I envy you, Ryan, your territory is a new land, you have absolute authority, and whatever you say is what it is. Since I became Since becoming the Elector and the Grand Duke of Middenland, I have dealt with countless matters. I want you to understand, Ryan, that many of the great nobles in White Wolf City can trace their origins back to the 'Rat Exterminator' Mander more than a thousand years ago. During the time of Emperor Red and even Emperor Charlemagne, it took me a lot of energy to deal with internal affairs every time."

"I understand." Ryan knew how complicated the relationship between the nobles in the empire was.

A few people continued walking a few more steps. It was getting late and they started to return.

"Ryan, we had a meeting before coming here. The empire wants to trade more wood elf medicines and mixed elf war horses from you." After Boris pondered for a while, he finally said tentatively: "I don't know what you mean. how?"

Axel, the grand leader of the White Wolf Knights, also nodded repeatedly: "We need the elf war horse very much, very much."

The main source of horses for the White Wolf Knights are mountain horses raised in the north of the empire. They are good at walking on mountain roads, have strong adaptability, and are fast, but have poor endurance. Carrying heavily armed guys like the White Wolf Knights easily fatigues.

"I have already exported a lot of wood elf medicines. As for the mixed elf war horses... we have to wait until the ponies in my stable mature." Ryan knew that Boris was trying to find out, so he also slapped one Tai Chi.

Now that the real drama is coming, Morgiana, the Lake God Witch, also sets her sights on Ryan. Morgiana knows that it is impossible for Elector Boris to do this series of actions for no reason. He must have something to discuss with Ryan. .

Britannia strictly prohibits the export of pure-blood elven war horses. This is a national policy, and the empire will naturally not touch it. However, the imperial knights are really eager for high-quality horse breeds. In the past, they found people to come to Britannia to buy horses. Either they are being blackmailed wildly, or they are ignored.

Finally, with a lord like Ryan who can trade normally, the empire naturally wants to open a gap from him.

The preciousness of wood elf medicine has been emphasized in the previous article and will not be repeated here.

Ryan's wedding is the best place. In front of this famous human hero in the old world, all the major forces have an excellent excuse to gather together. Although fierce quarrels and debates are still inevitable, bloody conflicts and tearing up are still inevitable. Face-breaking things will be effectively stopped, and many representatives of the two forces who may not have met for decades will sit together and negotiate in an attitude of being as harmonious and trying to communicate as possible.

There is no doubt that from the arrival of the major forces of order until Ryan's wedding, this was a period of time full of behind-the-scenes deals, conspiracies and blackmail. As far as Ryan knew, several verbal promises and contracts had been reached.

These transactions were all hidden under the joy of Ryan's upcoming wedding.

The most important contract among them is the trade agreement signed by Duke Bordeleau, Earl Ryan of Glamorgan, Duke Francois of Winford and the High Elf Supreme Mage Teclis. This contract is expected to bring benefits to Ryan within one year. Come to a huge profit of at least two thousand gold crowns! Same for Francois.

But this is not as good as the harvest of Duke Boderick of Bordeaux. The signing of this trade agreement means that the Inner Ring Kingdom of the High Elves will open up a second stable trade point besides Marienburg! This will be an epoch-making moment since Boderick became Duke of Bordeaux!

The trade agreement has been reached verbally, and Ryan will go to Helenschild in two days to discuss the matter in detail with Francois and Bodrick.

The empire also came to negotiate. Ryan frowned, thinking about the feasibility of this matter: "What can the empire give me?"

"People! The people you want!"

…………

Two days later, Britannia, the capital of the Principality of Winford, Helen Hilde.

"Is this the city of His Excellency Duke Francois? Wow, it's so big, really so big!" Norman, Ryan's adoptive father, sighed as he looked at the garden-like big city in front of him like a countryman entering the city.

"Yes! Father, this place is really big." Ryan rode on his pure-blood elf war horse and smiled at Norman.

Helenschild was built at the source of the Chinon River, in the middle of the valley. In autumn, the refreshing autumn wind blew through the group of people, the clear water of the Chinon River flowed, the majestic castle and tall The family coat of arms on the city gate tells the ancient history of the Aintree family.

The "Pure White Horse" family coat of arms wears a ducal crown, highlighting the noble status of Ryan's future wife. Norman, a country bumpkin from Nord, only felt a little ashamed when he saw it. The lord from Nord only had a small castle and dozens of Squire, a small territory, and now that Ryan was marrying such a glorious and historical family, Norman was very uneasy.

The houses in the city are all brick and stone structures, with white walls and red roofs. The dense crowds and passing vehicles make the city prosperous and full of vitality. It is already autumn, and the city has a unique charm under the dead branches and leaves.

Ryan brought his adoptive parents, Lake God Witch Morgiana, butler Katzenberg and Boris to Helen Hilde. In addition, Belega, the King of the Eight Peaks Mountain, and Dugan Ironhan, the dwarf engineer Belega, who had been reluctant to show up for a long time, heard that Ryan was going to Helen Hilde, so he pretended that he wanted to meet Ryan again, and they could have a pleasant journey together. The powerful King of the Eight Peaks Mountain It can ensure the safety of their group.

Ryan just smiled and agreed simply.

As for Tigris, he continued to stay in Ryan's territory and continued to teach the two witches magic, so Veronica and Theresa also stayed. The little maid Emilia said she was unwilling to follow Ryan out. There was no reluctance.

Ryan had long heard about what Belegar was doing in his territory - the king of the Eight Peaks Mountain watched his army and knights train all day long, and then took a small notebook and kept taking notes, especially the knights and knights' retinues. During their training, Belega never missed a beat, and even made a lot of plastic little figures to play deductions with.

According to Dugan, Belega was quite satisfied with the strength of the Brittanian knights. His original words were "barely able to see".

The group of people gradually approached the castle. Elector Boris looked at Helen Hilde and said roughly: "What I want to say is that White Wolf City is always the largest and most beautiful city in the old world, but this city is not bad either. .”

The towering city walls and more than a dozen pointed towers of the Duke's Castle make up the three-story structure inside and outside Helenschild Castle. The square main castle is located in the middle, flanked by six huge conical turrets. The main castle is in the middle. In front of it is a thirty-meter-tall pure white horse statue.

"Here↑" Ryan raised an arm and introduced to everyone: "Francois said, let's go in through the front entrance."

"Let me tell you, although this castle is large and beautiful, its defensive capabilities are too poor compared to us dwarves, and it doesn't look strong." Belega kept talking: "It pays too much attention to it. It’s beautiful, just like the pointy ears.”

"I think so too." Axel, the grand leader of the White Wolf Knights, also echoed. The bearded grand leader said gruffly: "I heard that Ivan is also here?"

"Not only Ivan, the great alchemist Belshazer-Gelt has also arrived." Ryan said softly: "Let's have a good talk in the afternoon."

"As it should be."

The arrival of Ryan, Morgiana, Boris and others was naturally warmly received by François. Ryan also met his godfather Ivan. Grand Duke Griffin patted him on the shoulder without saying much. , Ivan is also proud of his godson, but now is not the time to reminisce about the past. Ryan is already a noble of Britannia, and Ivan represents the empire across the mountain.

Just after settling in, the two sides held a negotiation in Helen Hilde's conference room.

The participants from Britannia were Fourcade, Duke of Montfort, Casfan, Duke of Palaon, Francois, Duke of Winfort, Berhemond, Duke of Bastogne, Lane, Count of Glamorgan, Morgiana, the witch of the Lake God, and Boderick, Duke of Bordeaux, who arrived belatedly.

From the empire came Grand Duke Ivan of the Griffin, Elector Boris of the White Wolf, Grand Leader Axel of the White Wolf Knights, and Great Alchemist Belshazer-Gelt.

In addition, Belegar, the King of the Eight Peaks Mountain, also participated in the meeting as the envoy of the King of Breeze Castle.

The first content of the negotiation between the two parties was related to the dwarves. Francois, who was sitting in the middle, first said: "After discussions with Fourcade, Casfan, and Bohemond, we believe that the dwarf kingdom is in The history of living in the Gray Mountains is much longer than the history of mankind, so we are willing to recognize the existence of Breeze Castle and its legality as one of the dwarf kingdoms. We hope to sit down and negotiate with the dwarves and empire of Breeze Castle and sign an armistice. Agreement, demarcation of borders, restoration of peace.”

"The empire is willing to be fair." Grand Duke Ivan of the Griffin and White Wolf Elector Boris both nodded.

"agreed, agreed!"

Everyone present voted with a show of hands.

This is a rare opportunity for Britannia to sit down and negotiate with the dwarves of Breeze Castle.

"Yes, peace, this is what the dwarves want too." As the representative appointed by King Rorek of Breeze Castle - Granite Hand, King Belegar of Eight Peaks Mountain sat on a chair piled with three cushions and nodded repeatedly: "We They are not friends with the Brittanians, but they are not enemies either. The dwarves will not engage in civil war with the humans, leaving the greenskins and Chaos to find opportunities."

Ryan was sitting on the right side of Francois. When he saw this, he whispered to his father-in-law: "Although the dwarf is stubborn, he still understands the truth."

Francois rolled his sea-blue eyes and smiled elegantly: "The stubbornness of the dwarves is that they don't give you a chance to meet and propose peace talks!"

"I agree to the peace talks and am willing to sign the armistice agreement, but I want to say that the dwarves of Breeze Castle must recognize that the Principality of Montfort has full legal claim to the Axbite Pass." Duke Fourcade of Montfort said continuously: "There is also , please immediately stop your excessive digging of mines under my territory. Many mines have penetrated deep into my territory. This is a violation of the rights and interests of the Principality of Montfort."

"Rorek asked me about the issue of Axbite Pass." Belegar stroked his white beard and first confirmed the issue of the ownership of Axbite Pass: "The Brittanians have been guarding and patrolling Axbite Pass for a long time. Establish watch belts and sentries to defend against greenskin invasions, and the dwarves of Breezehold are willing to recognize Axbite Pass as belonging to the Duchy of Montfort."

"Huh~" Duke Montfort's heart fell to the ground. The Axbite Pass and the tariffs it brought were Fulkard's lifeblood. He would never give in on this point. Since the dwarf admitted this, then in the future Just negotiate.

The two sides began tug-of-war negotiations on many issues. Two hours later, the three Dukes Fourcade, Casfann and Birhemond and Belega, the representative of Breeze Castle, signed an armistice agreement. The first This time, they divided their respective spheres of influence relatively concretely. The Bretons recognized the existence of Breeze Castle, and Breeze Castle recognized the Bretons' ownership of the Axbite Pass. Regarding the mineral veins under the mountains, the two parties agreed to put it aside. Dispute, joint development, the Brittanians granted the dwarves the right to continue mining in depth, and the dwarves were willing to sell part of the ore to the Brittanians at a preferential price.

Ryan knows that this is a win-win agreement, because the mining technology in Britannia is terrible. Even if the dwarves are driven away, they will not be able to mine on their own. The dwarves can mine with confidence and do not have to worry about finding ore. Not marketable.

Several Dukes and Belega left the meeting room to sign the agreement. Only Francois, Bodrick, Ryan, Morgiana and people from the Empire were left in the room.

"The next question is about the empire's request to further open the export of wood elf medicines and mixed elf war horses." Francois continued: "We want to know what the empire can do to trade with us."

"We are willing to use an army to trade with you." The great alchemist Belshazer-Gelt said in his strange voice full of the sound of metal friction: "An army you need."

"An army we need? I can't think of any army we need in particular." Ryan frowned. Britannia's heavy cavalry was the best in the old world, and he also had dwarf artillery. He couldn't think of any army we needed in particular. .

"We know what you need." The empire took out a contract and placed it in front of Ryan.

"A group of elite Ugor horse archers from Kislev."
