The Sun King's Evidence

"Pawar?"

The Old World, Britannia, the Principality of Winford, the Earl of Glamorgan, the city center of Jean Town, a bar in the Champion Avenue "Holy Grail Praise", the Holy Grail Knight Armand and the Kingdom Knight Hex are also chatting about something. Regarding the knight promotion order.

This bar is the most upscale bar in town. Here you can see all the fine wines in the world, including Wood Elf fruit wine and the fine wines "Obiang", "Latour" and "Lü" produced by several major Winford wineries. Salus", the empire's premium craft ale "Cobain's Premium" (specially provided to the royal family), the dwarf Bagman beer and the finest magical brew produced by the high elves.

Some guests who are distinguished enough can even taste the "Lady's Reserve" produced next to the Lake Fairy's tower, and cultivated by the Lake Fairy herself.

The production of "Lady's Reserve" is very small, so only a few people are eligible to drink it, although Ivan, the Griffin Duke from the Empire, pointed out the taste of Lady's Reserve after tasting all the fine wines in Britannia and the "Lady's Reserve" in turn. It is better than all other fine wines in the old world, but still slightly inferior to Winford's super first-class fine wine "Lousalus", but all Brittanians still firmly believe that the Lady's Reserve is the best fine wine in the world.

Including Earl Lane's father-in-law Francois firmly believes so.

There are not many guests in the bar. There is no doubt that they are all famous figures and nobles in the old world, Holy Grail Knights, Expeditionary Knights and wealthy businessmen. The owner of the bar has always been a mystery. People only know about the "Holy Grail". In addition to the earl and countess, ladies seemed to be involved behind the scenes. At least Her Highness Morgiana, the Lake God Witch, would sometimes appear here. The bar would also provide free drinks and meals to passing expedition knights.

The shiny hardwood floor is as clean as new. A prophet of the lake god is counting the drinks behind the bar. White magic lights illuminate the interior of the tavern. The surface of the wooden bar and tables and chairs made of fine pear wood is reflective and golden. Patterns of Holy Grails and fleur-de-lis are scattered throughout the bar. Most of the knights and nobles present are polite - those who are rude will be quickly dragged out and then listed as unwelcome objects.

The kingdom's nobles, celebrities from all walks of life, and some foreign businessmen who came here most wanted to come to this bar to drink. However, the bar has always limited seating to twenty people, and some booths have been reserved for a month later.

Hux was a little unaccustomed to it. This Kingdom knight with cold eyes and only the ambition to revive his family was unusually reserved. His wine glass was empty. The Kingdom knight was not as confident as Armand, the Holy Grail knight, who dared to loudly ask the person who sat down Miss Lake God Prophet behind the bar refills the glass - in this kingdom, Lake God Prophet enjoys great privileges and ignores legal restrictions. Only Morgiana and the favored ones of women like Ryan can order them.

As Ryan's subordinate, Hux is responsible for military training, especially the training of the serf infantry regiments and sergeants. Because this kingdom knight always has a bitter and hateful look on his face, the soldiers are more afraid of him.

Unlike Hux, Armand, the Holy Grail Knight, only had relaxation and enthusiasm on his face.

The Blood Red Duke is dead, and the family's great revenge has been avenged. The Holy Grail Knight, who has sworn to avenge the Blood Red Duke since childhood, can finally unload his heavy ideological burden and travel lightly. When he sees that Hux's cup is empty, he puts his own He finished his large beer glass in one gulp and stretched out his hand to signal: "Miss, we need a refill."

The Lake Seer refilled the two men's bottles of Imperial Stout.

Over beef patties and milky white cod soup, Armand said: "Where were we?"

"The legendary figure from serf to Grail Knight, Pavard."

"Yes, Pawar." Armand nodded and whispered: "Pavar is a true legend. This respectable man has completed an incredible myth in his own life."

"Pawar was born in a remote village. He decided at an early age to devote all his faith to the lady. Since he was just a serf, the rest of the way for him was simple - he became a pilgrim to the Holy Grail. , followed a famous Holy Grail Knight, Sir Larocque, and fought fiercely for most of his life. Decades of asceticism made him an excellent warrior."

"After following Sir Larocque in battle for most of his life, Pavard, who was in his fifties, faced a huge test. The Holy Grail Church guarded by Sir Larocque was attacked by the Skaven army. The Holy Grail Knights led the pilgrimage to the Holy Grail. The pilgrims fought a desperate battle with the Skaven, and in the end, Sir Larok and the Skaven warlord died together, and the pilgrims to the Holy Grail suffered heavy casualties, with almost all of them killed."

"All killed?" Hux can imagine the brutality of this battle. The Skaven must be planning to seize the holy relics from the Holy Grail Church. The Holy Grail Knights and Holy Grail Pilgrims are outnumbered, but these people will not waver. They will only hold on until the very end.

"Except for Pavard... this fifty-year-old serf actually guarded the Holy Grail Church and the body of Sir Larocque alone for three hours! He continued to support it until reinforcements arrived and all the Rat Destroyers were killed! It is said that When the Duke's reinforcements arrived, Pavard was covered in blood, delirious, and was stabbing the broken sword in his hand into the head of a rat troll!"

"This is simply..." Hux was shocked by Pavard's feat. He had been fighting against the rat army for three hours alone? !

"After the war, Pavard won the title of 'Rat Man Slayer' for his feats, and was even praised by the lady. He was brought to Kurona to meet the king, and the king directly named him a kingdom in the Holy Grail Cathedral. knight!"

"Pavar did not surrender. This pilgrim who had longed for the Holy Grail his whole life was not tempted by his noble status. He took an oath of expedition on the spot and started his own Holy Grail expedition."

"This has been fifty years. Pavar's road to the Holy Grail lasted for a full fifty years. When everyone had forgotten about him, he came back. The hundred-year-old Pavar's eyes were red and his body was red. Flashing the blessing of the Lake God, there is no doubt that he is already a Holy Grail Knight. The pilgrim used his own life to compose a piece of music belonging to the Holy Grail. From serfs to Holy Grail Knights, the deeds of this Holy Grail pilgrim have inspired generations. A generation of serfs, he personally proved the justice of the Holy Grail."

Armand said with some emotion: "So you know why there are so many pilgrims to the Holy Grail, right? Not everyone can get the attention of a lady. The serfs understand that it takes some effort to get a lady to pay attention to themselves who are not knights. Special method.”

"Piety... this method is really special. The lady will always smile at the believers who spend a lot of time on the battlefield and in the church." Hex sighed at the serf's desire. He hesitated and said: "If a serf To be able to perform like this and make him a noble... I have nothing to say."

"It seems you still have some opinions on the knight promotion order?" Armand keenly felt the discomfort in Hux's tone.

"Who isn't? There are so many knightly titles. Some people get more, and some get less. Yes, the nobles in the north suffered heavy losses in the fight against the Chaos. They may need this, but in our south , there are many young men who can become knights, why don't we transfer some people from the south, but select a few serfs?" Hux complained: "Since it is the will of the lady, then I have nothing to say, three Just three, everyone can accept this number."

"We always have to give some chances." Armand looked at the bright magic lamp and continued.

"Isn't it enough to become a sergeant? Their whole family is a free citizen! Isn't that enough?" Hux seemed to be stimulated and spoke repeatedly: "Ranger? It's not enough to be able to ride a horse and fight with the knights. What?"

"Not enough, Hux, can you tell me what it feels like when you mount a war horse, are fully armed, raise your lance, and charge shouting the name of the lady." Armand murmured to himself .

"It's like I own the whole world." Hux replied seriously.

After a long time, the thirty-year-old Kingdom Knight suddenly turned red: "I understand, Armand, I am too superficial."

"very good."

…………

In mid-November, at night, at the Mannann dry dock in the Principality of Bordero, a high elf ocean-going giant ship was slowly leaving the shore.

Hundreds of high elves were moving quickly around the deck and cabin, hauling sails, weighing anchors, and looking out. All the high elves were doing their own thing in an orderly manner. There was order in the complexity. Compared to human sailing ships, they were extremely crowded and impersonal. Compared with the space, although the high elves' ocean-going ships accommodate hundreds of troops, everything is so perfect and orderly, without any crowded places.

The sea breeze roared, the stars hung high, the sound of the waves remained, and the waves bloomed. The High Elf Supreme Mage Teclis stood on the deck leaning on Lilith's Staff of the Moon, silently looking at the sky without saying a word.

The Supreme Mage looked expressionless as he looked at the bright Milky Way in the sky and the reflection on the sea. Anyone who knew him well knew that this was proof that Teclis was in a bad mood.

He tried to pray to his moon goddess Lilith and asked her what he should do next, but the goddess did not respond. What Teclis waited for was the footsteps behind him.

"Your Majesty Teclis, why don't you rest?" A human voice sounded from behind Teclis.

"You won't be in the cabin with your new wife?"

"It's still early, Lord Teclis."

Tigris turned around, and the black hair of Ryan, who was wearing an earl's dress, was blown by the sea breeze. The divinely chosen champion who had just finished his honeymoon walked next to Tigris.

One person watching the stars becomes two people watching the stars.

Unexpectedly, but within reason, the wood elves were deeply wary and resistant to Teclis's arrival. No matter what Teclis said, the forest king and his wife responded with a skeptical attitude. Perhaps in Eisler's view , if Asul didn't want to drag them into the never-ending war with the dark elves, he wanted the wood elves to surrender to the Phoenix King again.

Eislay would not accept any of them. In the eyes of the wood elves, the forest is everything. Unless there are some force majeure factors, they will never give up the forest.

never.

Tigris is not Finubar. He is not as witty and charming as the current Phoenix King. He is not Tyrion either. He has a handsome appearance and a strong natural affinity that the gods are jealous of. Finubar can use his own The method successfully visited the King's Forest and re-established friendship with the Forest King and his wife, allowing the high elves and wood elves to re-establish diplomatic relations. Tyrion has a relationship with the Eternal Queen, so it is not difficult to communicate with the wood elves.

Teclis can't do it. His quiet and cold words can't make the wood elves feel sincerity. He repeatedly emphasizes the coming of the end, which makes the compatriots in the forest sneer. What does the life and death of the sentient beings outside have to do with us?

Wood elves only care about their own forests.

Despite this, Orion and Alaire entertained Teclis with due pomp. The Forest King and his wife listened to Teclis's purpose in detail and used the power of the Oak of Ages to conduct divination.

The outcome of the divination was not allowed to be announced to the outside world. Teclis knew that the King of the Forest and his wife must have divined something, but what was the use of it? They eventually rejected Teclis's alliance proposal.

"Isn't there a little gain?" Ryan anticipated the ending. The Fairy of the Lake had long told him that it would be difficult for Tigris to succeed.

"It's not nothing at all. Eislay is not as ignorant of the outside world as we thought." Tigris shook his head: "That friend of yours, Estelle, what you know is that he is a mercenary. Traveling around the continent, but actually..."

"Actually, he and many half-elves and wood elves like him are wandering around the continent as mercenaries. They are ordered by the forest king and his wife. They are called traveling, but in fact they come out to observe the outside world and collect intelligence." Ryan added that he already knew this.

In the Wood Elf Observation Station in the Earl of Glamorgan, many Wood Elves are repeatedly doing intelligence work. The Wood Elves are not stupid. Their foreign policy pursues "absolute isolation", but this does not mean that they are outside the forest. His eyes darkened. On the contrary, the political changes and war situations in the human kingdom and the mountain dwarf kingdom were under their control.

The most typical one is the Kingdom of Britannia. The Kingdom of Knights has encountered several crises in the thousands of years since its founding. Whenever the knights were at a complete disadvantage and fighting hard, the wood elf army would automatically appear to assist the knights and help them. Destroy the foreign enemies and then disappear into the forest again.

Because if Britannia hadn't always held on to its territory, it would have been difficult for the Wood Elves to enjoy such a long period of peaceful life. The knights had resisted most foreign enemies for the Wood Elves.

"Yes, I think my efforts are somewhat useful." Teclis looked at Ryan: "After Queen Alaire and His Majesty Orion did the divination, they thought you were the one who could allow the wood elves to continue to enjoy a peaceful life. Man, they decided to give you the title 'Friend of Islay'."

"In addition to a title, a group of rangers will come out of the forest and obey your command from now on."
