The Sun King's Evidence

In the old world, in the west of Rick's Land, in Bad Smile Village, inside the village chief's big house.

The best house in the village was left to Ryan. The house had been cleaned and tidy. Three roast chickens were roasting on the fire in the middle of the house. Ryan took off his armor and sat on a wooden chair. With a half-smile, he just looked at Veronica cooking three roast chickens, and said to the demon hunter Abel sitting aside: "Mr. Abel, it's been a long time no see, how are you lately?" "

"It's a lie to say that we are doing well." Abel smiled bitterly and shook his head: "I can only say that it is not bad. In addition to ensuring the money for repairing equipment and purchasing medicines, I can barely have a full stomach."

"Does it cost so much to repair equipment and buy potions?" Theresa was wearing a black leather coat with a rose red hollow. The sorceress did not change out of her combat clothes. Instead, she played with a pair of fire blunderbuss in her hands.

Blue Beloved, a treasure that Ryan got from under the Relics Hall of the Church of Justice in Brunswick, a pair of enchanted rune fire guns, which can be filled with magic power.

"In addition, I also need to spend money to repair the Tal's Horn Fortress. It used to be the Demon Hunter branch of Helmgart, but it is now very dilapidated. Sule and I decided to rebuild the Tal's Horn. And restore the fortress into a branch." Abel continued, spreading his hands: "Insufficient manpower and insufficient money, we can only take our time."

"Well, that's true." Ryan had nothing to say about this, he could only nod.

"And... thank you, Mr. Ryan, your decision has saved me a lot of pressure." Amber turned his attention to several roast chickens. The fragrant roast chickens were coated with sauce, Veroni Ka is controlling the flame, which is also a test for the witch to herself.

After understanding Ryan's hint, the village chief immediately caught seven or eight big roosters as a reward for Ryan. Ryan also accepted it and kept three of them. The remaining chickens were given to Rudolph and the others, and the two Rick banned Wei and the group of knights' retinues have fought hard, and it's time to eat some meat.

How much are seven or eight big roosters worth? Even in this season, the price of seven or eight big roosters on the market will not reach one gold mark, but by doing this, Ryan not only relieved the villagers of Bad Smile Village from their heavy psychological burden, but also regarded it as a blessing to Albert. There must be an explanation for your hard work, otherwise Ryan will receive nothing, and the demon hunter will bear great pressure from the villagers.

"Mr. Amber, are you going back to Helmgart? Then let's go together." Veronica used flames to roast the chicken. The Witch of Gloria was very good at her craftsmanship. Since she is Ryan's friend, Veronika Nika naturally had a good-looking face and took the initiative to respond. Unlike Teresa, the sorceress was always wary of Abel's identity as a witcher.

"Hoo~ho~" At night, it snowed heavily outside the house. The ability of large houses in this kind of village to keep out the cold was naturally not as good as the Earl's Castle in Lane or the Royal Hotel in Brunswick. The cold wind blew howling outside, and inside the room, Su Lia's servants were working, and they had a lot to prepare. Sulia was checking the inner rooms for possible loopholes and secret passages.

"The roasted chicken is ready~" Veronica brought three golden and crispy roasted chickens to Ryan and Amber. Amber quickly waved his hand to indicate that he didn't want it, and Ryan took the initiative to break off a chicken leg and handed it to Aibel. Burr: "Don't refuse, you're hurt too."

"Okay then." The demon hunter no longer refused.

He also needs to eat some meat, meat is very important for such a powerful professional.

After dinner, there won't be much activity for civilians, because when it gets dark, civilians either roll on the sheets or just sleep. Candles are not a luxury for civilians. But it is not a small expense to use it for lighting for a long time.

After a simple bath, Ryan opened the door to the back room. Sulia had already changed into a white velvet nightgown and was sitting on the bedside reading a book. A goose-yellow magic lamp hung above the bed. Seeing Ryan come in, the female knight Putting down the book: "Don't you talk to your demon hunter friend anymore?"

Ryan also went to the bed. He held Lidya Su in his arms and kissed her beautiful face: "Me and Abel? What's there to talk about? At most, we can talk about recent things. He is a native of Helmgart, and he will set out with us tomorrow morning."

Sulia hugged her husband back. At this time, she felt that she was the happiest woman in the world. The female knight leaned on Ryan's chest, feeling a touch of warmth: "I'm not against your contact with the demon hunter... forget it. , you must have your own ideas, my father just told me to be careful and keep it short when talking to the witcher."

"Mr. Abel is not a bad person. On the contrary, he is committed to reviving the witcher branch in Helmgart. He said that there is a fortress on the Gray Mountains called the Tal's Horn Fortress where witchers once operated. , he and his companions have taken over there." Ryan gently massaged Sulia's legs, and he could feel that the female knight's body was a little stiff.

Whether it is the exquisite vibranium plate armor blessed by the Emperor himself, the sword of Leonese blessed by the Fairy of the Lake, or the cloak of the White Wolf God blessed by the White Wolf God of War Yuric, they are all weapons blessed by the gods. Sulia equips these at the same time, which is a great burden on the body of the female knight.

Not to mention the golden double-headed eagle wedding ring on her left ring finger.

Sure enough, Ryan could feel the tightness of Sulia's back and thigh muscles, which was a sign of fatigue: "Are you tired?"

"It's okay, it's just that it was uncomfortable to wear this set of equipment at the same time at first." Sulia let Ryan press and use psychic energy to help her relax her muscles, but she blushed a little.

Although this man is her husband, Sulia, who was born into a noble family, is still shy.

"Slowly, you will adapt." Ryan helped his wife massage and took advantage of it. The man looked at the heavy snow outside the window: "Also, at any time, please do not take off the ring I gave you."

"Any time?" Lidya Su changed her position, lying on the pillow and letting Ryan massage her slender waist: "But the lady once asked me to take it off, and I did so, and she quickly returned it. I’m gone, doesn’t it matter?”

That's why the Lake Fairy can easily possess you! My stupid wife! The muscles on Ryan's face twitched a little. He was not opposed to the three of them being together. Since Lidya Su agreed with him, he had no reason to object. What hurt him was that his wife was the most devout believer of the Fairy in the Lake. In addition, there were many The clingy Lake God Witch Morgiana, unknowingly has been firmly tied to the camp of the Lake Fairy, and the tie is still very tight.

Forget it, that’s fine. If Ryan wants to become a king, he absolutely needs the support of the Lady of the Lake. Ryan dare not say how much the Lady of the Lake likes him, but at least for now and in the future, he and the Lady of the Lake have the same goals. .

Fight against chaos and prepare for the end.

"What's wrong? Ryan, what are you thinking about?" Sulia noticed that Ryan was distracted.

"I'm thinking whether my next plan is to prepare to attack the Blackstone stronghold occupied by the undead wizard Heinrich Kemmler, or to prepare to recapture Mousilon." Ryan moved the topic without leaving a trace.

"Why do you think of this all of a sudden?" Sulia's long golden curly hair covered her back. Ryan's fingers went through her hair and massaged her: "This involves strategic planning. The former is helpful for me to unify all the countries in the country. The power of the Duke and win the friendship of the dwarves, which will help to enhance my personal prestige and advance towards the position of Duke."

Sulia lay on the pillow and thought for a while. She whispered: "Personally, I would rather you attack the Blackstone Stronghold, because the undead wizard Heinrich Kemmler is my father's mortal enemy. The existence may also threaten the Principality of Winford. If you plan to attack the Blackstone Stronghold, my father will definitely support you fully."

"Yes, this is a reason." Ryan nodded. Although the female knight's argument was selfish, it was still a very reasonable suggestion. The Principality of Winford has been prosperous for many years, and there are more than 4,000 registered knights! Ryan only had two hundred knights from his own money.

"The second reason, Ryan, you have risen too fast. Now you want the nobles of the kingdom to see your abilities and make them feel that you are qualified to continue to move towards the position of Duke. If you are so rash and direct Attack the Dukedom of Connaught or the city of Mousilon, then the nobles in the entire kingdom will know that you aspire to become a duke, which will leave everyone with the impression that a lady's chosen champion is eager to add to his crown." Sulia Then he said softly: "Don't forget, you have been in Britannia for seven years and have already jumped three levels. In terms of normal seniority, even if you have the blessing of a lady, you are really too fast."

Ryan thought about it carefully and felt that it was indeed the case. Baron, earl, he was now the husband of a marquis.

That's right, since marrying Sulia, Ryan has added the title of Marquise Husband to his title, which is equivalent to another half-level promotion in his title of Earl. Although Sulia's title of Marquise is somewhat watery ( There are only two villages in the fief), but the title of this Marquise is genuine.

Just because Sulia prefers the title of Countess does not mean that she gave up the title of Marquis.

"Also, Ryan, you should start making barons." Seeing Ryan's silence, Sulia knew that he had listened, but her opinion was not in line with Ryan's expected thoughts. The countess simply continued: "You always It’s not good to have direct jurisdiction over all your own territory.”

"Isn't it good to have direct jurisdiction?" Ryan smiled and said, "I can take charge of it."

"Then can you take care of yourself in the future? Ryan, my husband, you always like to do things yourself. You can do this when you are a baron, and you can do this when you are an earl, but what about the future? If you become a duke or king , do you also want to do everything yourself? For example, Hux, Olivier, and Armand, they are all very capable people, but they have no chance to show their talents. Hux is an outstanding talent who graduated from Imperial College. Your subordinates are only responsible for training the infantry regiment. Olivier is an excellent knight recommended by the Grand Duke of Marienburg. You only let him deal with bandits. And Armand, Lord Armand is a Holy Grail Knight. He can't be you forever. flag-bearer, right? And that Lucien, he is a knight who graduated from Winford College. He is very talented. His father gave him to you specially, and he has not been reused yet." Sulia stroked Ryan's face: " Be prepared early so you won’t have no one available when you need it in the future.”

Ryan sighed: "My wife, I am so lucky to have you as my wife, and Yuri is so unlucky!"

"Brother's misfortune? Ryan, what are you talking about?" Lidya Su felt sweet after hearing the first half of the sentence, but felt a little strange after hearing the second half.

"With your wisdom, there is no problem being the heir of Francois." Ryan also lay down, hugged Sulia in his arms, and joked: "Uri does not have this level. He seems to be preparing to start the Holy Grail test. Already practiced.”

"You are not allowed to talk about brother! Brother is just cold and obsessed with the way of knights. It's not that he really doesn't understand some things, but he doesn't want to spend time thinking about them!" Sulia pinched Ryan's waist angrily. : "It was the same when my father was young. It wasn't until he completed the Road to the Holy Grail and came back to inherit the title of Duke that he gradually began to calm down... When my father was young, he even dueled with other knights for a dancing girl!"

"Oh oh oh! Please tell me in detail!" Ryan said with a smirk. I didn't expect that my father-in-law, who is full of wisdom and elegant demeanor, has such a past?

"Ah! Ryan, you guy!" Sulia realized that she had said something she shouldn't have said. The female knight's face turned red: "It's time to rest."

"Yeah, it's time to rest." Ryan's hands gently untied the waist tie of Sulia's white nightgown.

…………

Two days later, Sirik led Helmgart.

In the wind and snow, Ryan and his party arrived at the foot of the Gray Mountains. Amidst the clouds and mist in the distance, a majestic city built on the mountainside came into view.

Helmgart is a very important trading town in Reikland. It is both a city and a fortress. The city has about 3,800 permanent residents. The empire has thousands of troops stationed here, guarding the axe. Bite the pass to deal with frequent bandits and greenskins, while also guarding against the possible invasion of Britannia.

The entire fortress city is composed of three walls. These walls are carved out of the mountainside made of granite. The city is located in mid-air from a distance. There is also a wall extending from the city to the other side of the valley. No stowaways can sneak there. Tall walls and a single gate.

"The ruler of Helmgart is Count Reinhard von Mackensen. His count title is more special. He is a border count, half a rank higher than an ordinary count. The emperor granted him relatively independent financial and military power, but If he cannot hold Helmgart, the border count may be replaced at any time." Rudolf introduced to Ryan: "Helmgart said it has only 3,800 permanent residents, but in fact the permanent population should be five There are more than a thousand, and the floating population can reach more than ten thousand. This city has always had generous taxes, but the military pressure is also heavy. Didn't the Battle of Helmgart just break out a few days ago."

Ryan shrugged. He watched that battle. Emperor Karl relied on a perfect side charge to finally defeat the army of Duke Kasfan of Palavon.

"Helmgart has more than a thousand troops garrisoned, the most famous of which is the Mackensen Musketeers. Those more than three hundred musketeers are all good. They fight with the greenskins, bandits, and beastman tribes in the Gray Mountains all the year round. "Wagner also explained: "This musketry team is equipped with the best long-barreled muskets produced by the Noor Military Factory."

The group of people gradually approached Helmgart. As usual, when they saw the crest of the Knights of the Reik Guards, the guards did not dare to neglect and immediately waved to let them go.

Not long after entering the town, a group of hawking dwarves caught Ryan's attention.

"All kinds of iron gloves, shields, pickaxes, and axes are for sale! All kinds of two-handed axes, two-handed hammers, and handguns are for sale! All kinds of dwarf gauntlets, dwarf helmets, and dwarf plate armor are being made to order!" A group of dwarves were looking at him. Selling in the market of Helmgart. The market of Helmgart is a famous border trade market. Wine and brandy produced in Britannia, fine cloth and high-quality war horses are sold here. Dwarf merchants sell iron here. Ingots, lead ingots, silver ingots and weapons made by dwarves, and of course the Reikland merchants who sell imperial stout and grain are indispensable.

"Eh, isn't that???"
