The Sun King's Evidence

The dirty sludge with extremely corrosive power entangled Ryan's palm, and the terrible corruption was trying to penetrate into his body.

"No!" The first ones to lose their composure were Veronica and Theresa. The sorceress quickly took a step forward but bumped into the light curtain created by Tigris. Veronica was better, and she pressed down with both hands. On the light curtain wall: "Ryan, be careful!"

Emperor Karl-Franz frowned, and the Rick guards covered the emperor in the middle, with their swords unsheathed, looking at Ryan with vigilant eyes. Once the emperor gave the order, they would kill the fallen without mercy. .

However, in the eyes of everyone, Ryan's hands burned with golden flames, and the light blue spiritual vortex flashed in the eyes of the God-chosen champion of the Fairy of the Lake. These threads full of corruption were burned in the spiritual vortex. , purification, the sludge full of corruption is evaporated cleanly in the air, leaving only burning ashes.

Ryan shouted angrily and broke free from the entanglement of the Book of Chaos. He took two steps back. The pure spiritual energy in his body swept around, and all the corruption released from the Book of Chaos disappeared.

There was only a burning smell and bursts of white smoke left at the scene. Rick's guards unsheathed their weapons and pointed them directly at Ryan. If he made the slightest move, the emperor's loyal guards would immediately kill Ryan. Eliminated on site.

"You defeated Chaos, didn't you?" Emperor Karl-Franz whispered.

The emperor was a little unsure, and there was doubt in his eyes, which made everyone nervous.

"...What I defeated was only the corruption of Chaos, not Chaos itself." Ryan raised his hand to indicate that he was fine, and he set his sights on the Book of Chaos: "Just a little bit."

Ryan turned around. There was no abnormality on his body. The blessing from the Lake God and his own power were still surrounding him. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Only then did the Rick guards put their swords away. In the scabbard, Teclis moved forward and came to the wooden table.

The Book of Chaos has burned through a big hole, and the power of Chaos in it has completely dissipated under Ryan's counterattack. Naturally, there is nothing left in the book. Tigris sighed softly: "I told you that I should Come on, Ryan, there is nothing wrong with you being able to fight against corruption and purify corruption, but as you purify chaos corruption, the knowledge and secrets contained in it will disappear. These things are closely integrated with chaos itself, just like magic. Same."

"Sorry." Ryan knew that his behavior was inappropriate, so he had no choice but to apologize.

"Your Excellency Teclis, can you explain a little more clearly? Why did the knowledge inside disappear after the Chaos corruption was purified?" The emperor became interested. He looked at the burnt Book of Chaos with regret and looked towards Taigris. Gris asked.

"The realm of chaos, also known as subspace or 'Isil' or 'Supreme Sky', the source of all magic comes from the wind of chaos, and the realm of chaos, or subspace, is the reflection of the emotions of all living things. Just like a person's shadow, it cannot be eliminated, and the source of all magic is the wind of chaos. You can see the eight-pointed emblem of chaos. That is not a symbol randomly found by the evil god of chaos as a symbol, but an octagonal emblem, which exactly represents The Eight Winds of Magic." Teclis gave a brief introduction: "So, this means that all things begin from chaos. Of course, the evil god of chaos is not the only one in the subspace. There are also many kind and righteous gods who protect the safety of mortals. The endless battle with the Evil God of Chaos."

"The maelstrom has filtered the wind of chaos, but magic is still not a completely safe thing. Likewise, these books that contain the power of chaos contain countless knowledge and valuable treasures, because the power of chaos reveals The origin of the world.”

"It is especially difficult for humans to master the power of the Wind of Chaos, because humans are not a race that is good at using magic. In using magic, you must not only strengthen yourself against corruption, but also avoid excessive pursuit of power and fall, and you must ensure a strong will. To feel the wind of magic, you should not be too stubborn and your will will be unknowingly distorted by chaos. Therefore, I have always believed that the best way for humans to face such taboo objects is to directly purify them without contact." Teclis Looking at the Book of Chaos with some regret: "So, we will never know what Egrim saw... maybe it's better not to know."

Everyone is silent, the threat of chaos is eternal, and mortals have no choice but to resist desperately.

"Despite this, we still need the power of magic. Spellcasters have proven to be powerful weapons against chaos. We cannot close our eyes and pretend not to see because magic is unsafe. That will only make those with spellcasting talents The people of the Empire are forced to fall to Chaos." The Emperor quickly defeated his worries and said loudly: "They must also join the fight against the enemy!"

"Exactly, my Majesty, please allow me to express my appreciation to you." Teclis finally smiled: "You are lucky to think so."

Nothing happened after that, Emperor Karl-Franz also left, and the remaining group spent a whole day visiting the Royal Academy of Wizards in Brunswick, from the Sky Academy with sixteen wizard towers, to The Emerald Academy is built in a beautiful garden. From the Flame Academy where the entire academy is spraying heat waves, to the Shadow Academy located in the deepest part of the slums, the eight academies each have their own characteristics and are consistent with their own magical winds. .

Only the Alchemy School and the Amber School were not built in the city. The Alchemy School was built in a corner of the suburbs, where machines roared, had large chimneys and huge metal furnaces. The great alchemist Bayershazer-Gelt was conducting a It was an important experiment, and I only came out to briefly introduce it to the group. The Amber Academy is located in a beast cave outside the city. Greg Mattak, the dean of the Amber Academy who smells bad, wears animal skins, and has lush body hair, and When everyone met, he was bare-chested, with a few antlers on his back and a totem hanging around his waist, and greeted everyone.

Matak, who exuded the stench of primitive animals, also invited Tigris and Lion to enter the beast's cave. He said that he would offer a cup of special black tea, but Ryan and Tigris refused.

The day's visit ends here.

The next day, Ryan, Sulia, Veronica and Theresa were free to move around. The women insisted on going shopping and asked Ryan to come out to accompany them. Seeing that nothing happened, Ryan agreed to accompany them. They go shopping.

So in the biting cold wind of winter, a man and three women walked directly on the street, visiting the capital of the empire. The guards arranged by Emperor Karl followed a few people at a distance.

The three women are all dressed in plush coats and high-heeled boots. The slight difference is that Sulia's skirt reaches her knees and looks dignified. Veronica is not afraid of the cold and directly wears a short skirt and stockings, while Theresa is Instead of wearing a skirt, the sorceress preferred to wear tight leather pants in cold weather.

The sorceress preferred to wear skirts when she was with Ryan in private.

Even in the affluent area, the streets of Brunswick still look dirty. The buildings on the street are suspected of being excessively built illegally. They are of different heights and appear very messy. Everywhere you look is densely packed with heads. The crowd covers everyone's line of sight, making it difficult for them to see far enough away. There are many small alleys hidden in each street. There are restaurants, houses, or shops, and everything is there. You need to know the specifics. What, it can only be identified by relying on the signboard on the building.

The face of the female knight Sulia was flushed with excessive moisture, or she had been in this state for a while. The countess held her husband's hand, with a searching look on her face: "Prosperity, but Dirty."

Veronica explained empathetically: "Mrs. Surya, this is the capital of the empire. The floating population of this city far exceeds its population capacity. Extraordinary crowding is unavoidable. At this time, the cold winter has ended. Much more, if it’s autumn, the place can be packed with farmers who come to the capital to sell various products.”

"But this is a rich area, right? There shouldn't be so many people." Teresa secretly took Ryan's other arm, and the sorceress said in Ryan's ear: "Lian, have you been to Brunswick? ?”

"I haven't been here before, I just heard about it. This is my first time here." Ryan said with a smile. He was wearing a standard Earl of Brittany's dress today, with the Holy Grail Knight Commander's badge hanging on his chest. The count spread his hands: "Ladies, today belongs to you. Just pick out what you want, and I will be responsible for cleaning the shopping cart."

"If you ask me, Ryan, this is how you should behave, but this performance is not bad. At least I like it very much, my great knight." Veronica gave Ryan a wink: "It's really up to us. how to buy?"

"Whatever, I'm only responsible for paying." Ryan's face remained calm.

Veronica immediately took out a booklet, which recorded all the famous clothing stores and jewelry stores in the wealthy areas. Teresa took out a map of Brunswick, which recorded all the famous clothing stores and jewelry stores in the wealthy areas. A place to visit: “Then let’s get started!”

"Buy, buy, buy!"

"Ryan said he paid for it!"

“If you don’t buy it, you’re not a human being!”

"Mrs. Sulia, come on! Ryan will definitely like this on you!"

This group of people started a shopping spree. The two witches and the female knight began to make purchases. They selected and customized clothes to their heart's content, bought various shoes and jewelry, and also bought many souvenirs.

The Empire is a diverse country, and Braunschweig combines this very well. All trade goods from the entire Old World can be seen in the Imperial capital, from the white fox skins of Kislev to the precious silks of Cathay. Cloth, from the finest velvet stockings produced in Reikland to the leather high-heeled boots produced in Osterland, from the lace clothes produced in the southern town of Nuer to the fine brown sugar syrup produced in Ivyland, and even halflings The "Halfling Gadgets" (all kinds of exquisite snacks) from the Mutt Territory of the Dominion can be seen in Brunswick.

The shopping spree of the three beauties attracted the attention of many nobles, and many young nobles even tried to strike up a conversation. These people soon found themselves being ignored and became angry. However, Emperor Karl-Franz was well prepared, and the big men he sent The sword guard reminded these noble youths that if they really had their thoughts, they could choose between "cherishing" their hard-won life and dueling with the famous human hero "The Pious" Count Lion Malcador.

Seeing the flashing Thor's Hammer in Ryan's hand and the smile on his face, the noble youths fled away one after another.

Ryan was still thinking about whether someone would come to trouble him. Then he would beat the younger ones and take out the older ones. Finally, he would face an army alone and demand huge compensation, but in the end, no one would be able to do it!

It can only be said that his reputation is too high now. The nobles of the empire are not stupid. In this dark and bloody world, fists are the last word. There is no place in the empire that is peaceful for a long time. The nobles attach great importance to military merit in the inheritance and selection. Lane's reputation is known to everyone in the empire, especially in Reikland, which is the most prosperous and has the largest population.

The women went shopping and shopped all the way, moving along the affluent area in the south, first passing by the ring road of the Church of Justice, then going down the "Rickland Road", then walking along the "Auburn Street", and finally along the Walking along "Haisen Street" we came to Rick's Market.

There is a very famous shop here called "Bear of Bonn", which covers an area of ​​more than 200 square meters. It sells various bear dolls and a famous bear-shaped jelly candy, as well as many luxury goods specially provided by the royal family. When Ryan brought Sulia and the others to this store, it was crowded with people, and a huge signboard of a golden bear was shining brightly with the help of magic.

"Ryan! Look at this, I like it so much!"

"The little bear is so cute!"

"Do you still have this golden bear-patterned doll?"

Sulia, who loves bear dolls and bear patterns, couldn't walk when she saw this store. The female knight and the two witches got in and started buying. Ryan also let them shop, and he just paid with a smile. Money never interfered with other things. Lidya Su bought a lot of clothes with bear patterns, even for babies and children, and Ryan followed her.

After buying a lot of things, Ryan noticed the situation on the street outside through the glazed windows in the store.

A force of Reik's Praetorian Guard was passing by on the street, probably dozens of them. They passed quickly along the street. The coat of arms of the iron cross, skull and laurel wreath was enough to make any guards and pedestrians avoid their passage.

The leading imperial general is Kurt Helberg. This imperial general who just won the great victory in the north was officially named Marshal Rick by the emperor a few days ago. Apparently he had just led the Rick Guards to perform a mission. At this time, he was On the way back to Reik's Guard Castle.

At the same time, there are many young people behind Kurt Helberg. Each of these young people is dressed gorgeously. They are wearing expensive clothes that many ordinary people cannot afford with a year's income. Regardless of whether they are beautiful or ugly, most of them have facial hair. With a beautiful mustache and neatly styled hair.

Lane discovered these young people, and the young people discovered him.

"Rudolph, look, there is a Holy Grail Knight there! He is looking at us!" A young man with long brown hair and silk clothes pointed at Ryan behind the glazed window and said.

Soon, a lively discussion broke out among the young people.

"Oh, I think I know who he is. He is Duke Ivan's godson Ryan! I know him, Knight Wagner. Do you know him too?"

"No one in the empire doesn't know Ryan's name. Baron Lehman, please be quiet." A big noble said in a muffled voice.

"Your Excellency Theodrickson, I remember you attended his wedding?" The big nobleman's words did not silence the young people, but triggered a larger discussion: "Can you tell me the specific situation?"

"That's his wife? What a beauty!"

"That's enough! Recruits!" The new Marshal Rick, Kurt Helberg, spoke. His two long mustaches were trembling with the owner's angry shouts: "This is not a place for you to chat! Your Majesty needs Your sword!"

"yes!"
