The Sun King's Evidence

Raymond's home is located in a very good stone house in the town of Jean. The entire house is built of solid and beautiful stone. The family coat of arms of Ryan is hung on the door of the house, symbolizing that he is a soldier of the count. There are some plants planted in front of the door. Brightly colored flowers and a large water basin.

Halberdier Raymond made great contributions in the Battle of Blackstone Stronghold, so he was appreciated by Ryan and was made a sergeant. His status in the army also increased. It was later confirmed that in the Battle of La-Messnel Monastery, it was precisely He was the first to discover Kemmler's figure, and this gave Bertrand the chance to kill him with one blow.

That's right, it killed him with one blow. After all, Brittania would definitely not publicize that it was Gül who killed Kemmler.

Morgiana, the witch of the lake, posthumously granted Bertrand and Raymond the special honor of living in a stone house.

The carriage slowly stopped in front of the house door. Juan was the first to get out of the carriage, followed by Ryan. Then he reached out his hand towards the carriage and helped his wife Sulia out of the carriage. After Sulia's high heels fell to the ground, Ryan After looking at Raymond's house, the Count himself had a smile on his face: "This family fled from Lyonnais. They went through many hardships and finally got here today."

"This is all because of your good leadership, my husband." Sulia looked at the neat and clean double-story stone house. The female knight was also in a very good mood. She held her husband's arm and her face was full of happiness.

The tall wooden door had been opened wide, and Raymond's family, including his old mother, Raymond and Raymond's brother Thomas, all came out to greet them, as well as Sir Bertrand and his men Hugo and Guy.

"Salute to you, Lord Ryan, Mrs. Sulia! May you be in good health, and may the lady always protect this blessed land." Everyone immediately knelt down and saluted after seeing Ryan appear.

"Good morning, everyone." Ryan nodded calmly. He stretched out his hand to signal everyone to get up: "Okay, it's hot outside, let's go in and talk."

"yes!"

Before sitting down to talk, Ryan and Sulia first visited Captain Raymond's entire house. It seemed that because they knew Ryan was coming, the house was cleaned very, very clean. The double-storey house where the family lived seemed very spacious. Raymond's old mother no longer does sewing work for the nobles and sergeants to support the family. Instead, she concentrates on taking care of the housework. The family also hires a servant. Compared with when they fled a few years ago, the old mother no longer cares about the family. Both my body and complexion look much better.

Raymond's younger brother Thomas was sent to the Church of Justice to receive education and study under Alfred. The little boy is in his early ten years, with a healthy and rosy complexion. He is wearing white linen clothes and has messy brown hair. The elegant Mrs. Sulia was very shy. She lowered her head and said hello, madam, and also presented some handmade gadgets she made in the church handicraft class, such as a small wooden war hammer, a wooden cross sign and a wooden skull. logo.

Lidya Su was obviously very satisfied with her influence among the people, and she happily touched Thomas' head.

"Thomas! You are so rude!" Who knew that Lidya Su's move frightened the old mother so much that she quickly pulled Thomas over and reached out to spank him.

How could a lowly serf have the right to be patted on the head by a noble person like Mrs. Sulia? !

"It's okay, it's okay~" Lidya Su quickly signaled not to do this.

After visiting around, everyone came to sit down in the restaurant. There was a long wooden table here. Everyone wanted to discuss things here. Of course, Ryan and Sulia sat at the main seats, and Sylvia and Juan The waiter stood behind him, and then the seats were arranged in order according to Bertrand, Raymond, Hugo, Guy and others.

"I see that you are doing well, Mr. Raymond?" Ryan said to Raymond after sitting down: "Aren't you planning to get married yet? There is some calmness in this family!"

"Hahahahahahahahahahahaha~" There were bursts of laughter on the long table, and the young sergeant lowered his head in embarrassment: "I have no plans yet, my Earl, I am still young."

"Why are you laughing, Bertrand, I remember you are not married yet." Ryan then turned the fire on Bertrand. Now it was the turn of the forty-year-old Jazz to be embarrassed, and a burst of laughter broke out on the table again. .

By expressing cordial greetings and joking, Ryan successfully built a relationship with his subordinates, and after a brief exchange of pleasantries, the topic gradually began to get down to business.

"Bertrand, Raymond, this time you went to the Dukedom of Connaught, that is, to investigate around Mousilon. Did you gain anything? Or something more important?" Ryan began to ask: "I must First-hand information, be sure to tell me everything you know in detail, otherwise I will not come to your home to visit."

"My Earl, we discovered a lot of things during our inspection of Mousilon and Lyonnaise." Bertrand nodded respectfully, and he said: "First of all, we found that the Mousilon epidemic prevention belt was under the order of the Duke of Laune. The bottom is strengthened.”

Ryan nodded silently, knowing that this was a symbol of preparing to use troops.

The Musilon Epidemic Prevention Zone consists of more than 20 towers and walls. Less than a thousand troops are stationed along the entire defense line, forming an isolation zone to isolate Musilon's external links. Of course, these troops and towers There was no way to stop the vampire army, but the Knight Kingdom did not want to stop it. The original purpose of the Knight King Taylor's establishment of the epidemic prevention zone was just to isolate vampire corruption and the spread of disease, because no one wanted a new epidemic to break out.

The establishment of the epidemic prevention zone was only to prevent the serfs from leaving on their own and carrying their germs to other principalities. Each tower could achieve self-sufficiency through farming and grazing. Most of the principalities in the entire kingdom sent a small army to garrison the epidemic prevention zone. There were two or three towers, and the soldiers were rotated every two months. Most of the towers were stationed with a knight.

"The Duke of Laune ordered the deployment of more troops to the epidemic prevention zone, and also encouraged the expedition knights and knights errant to patrol this area." Bertrand took out a permission slip signed by Francois, Duke of Winford: " Of course, the knights can freely enter and leave the epidemic prevention zone, and they can also enter and exit freely with a permit signed by the Duke. I took advantage of the time to chat with the local guarding knights and soldiers. In fact, with a sip of wine and A strip of bacon would open up a conversation among these bored men stationed there.”

"Mr. Bertrand obviously has his own experience in gathering information." Sulia praised with a smile.

"Don't dare, Madam Sulia, I just used to be careless and I know the habits of many people." Bertrand quickly said modestly: "Ahem~ Having said that, in fact, Mousilon's epidemic prevention belt rarely faces real challenges. The serfs there tried to leave. I mean, most of the serfs there didn't even know what the world outside the village was like, let alone leaving Musilon. Repeated prohibitions really made the guards troubled. of outlaws and smugglers.”

"Desperados and smugglers?" Ryan thought thoughtfully.

"Yes, many desperadoes will try to cross the epidemic prevention zone and enter Musilon to seek life, and a large number of smugglers often cross the epidemic prevention zone to smuggle prohibited items into and outside Musilon. The guards often have to face challenges from these people." Little Yu Guo whispered: "My Earl, I secretly tried to inquire about the information from the guards. It turns out that as long as enough commissions can be paid, smuggling is often carried out. The premise is that the appetites of the guards and the castle owner must be satisfied. There are also smuggled goods and It has nothing to do with cults. Guard knights often have a secret passage for selling stolen goods and arranging for smugglers to pass through. If they really want to force their way through, the guards will use force to solve the problem."

Sure enough, Ryan was right to ask Bertrand and his gang to investigate Mousilon.

These guys who were born as bandits and thieves originally made a living in the cracks, and they know best how to find this gray area.

"This is the current situation in the epidemic prevention zone, but what about inside Musilon?" Ryan then asked: "How is the life of the people in the territory? And how are the activities of vampires?"

"It's very bad, Lord Lane." Bertrand frowned: "Before they suffered from floods and wars, the lives of the people in the territory were pretty good, but after the Duke of Lawn swept Mousilon twice, the serfs there We have now fallen into extreme poverty. Now the entire Musilon is soaked in swamps. Except for the swamp, it is a swamp. Everywhere is like a quagmire. The villages are even more decadent and dilapidated. Many houses have been seriously damaged and the roads on the streets have been severely damaged. They are all like sewers, and many serfs would rather hide in their homes with their doors closed, eating rats, drinking dirty water and waiting to die, rather than go out to hunt or work in the fields."

"When we were in the field operation in Mousilon, we actually prepared a lot of so-called 'small gifts' with us, including a few small bottles of wine, some dried meat and some bread. But when we came to the village and took out these, we wanted to ask When something happened, the first reaction of the serfs in Mousilon was not to be happy to accept it, but to be extremely frightened." The expression on Bertrand's face was very painful: "They seemed to have seen something very scary, and they ran away desperately. Until it's out of sight."

"There are corpses everywhere in the muddy roads and swamps. The dead souls have not been buried properly. These corpses and souls will never rest in peace. They will either gradually rot, or they will stand up again and become wandering zombies."

After hearing this, Ryan also felt very troublesome. The environment in Musilon was so bad that the human army would indeed face many difficulties if they wanted to fight here. It is no wonder that Raun encountered so much trouble when attacking Musilon.

Sulia closed her eyes unbearably after hearing the tragic scene described by Bertrand, while Juan's face was full of indignation. The young man believed that the evil in this place must be purified, and the maid Sylvia's There was disgust on her face, as if mentioning this issue and place would seriously affect her mood.

Only Ryan remained motionless. He said nothing more except frowning: "Go on, Bertrand, Raymond, what else did you investigate?"

"We investigated several villages and found the same situation, Mr. Lane." Bertrand continued, Lord Winford's face showed a bit of frost and intolerance: "Most of the serfs are marrying close relatives. Suffering from deformities and diseases due to corruption and poor sanitation, we finally found a young man who was willing to answer our questions. He was obviously hungry. After eating food almost like crazy, he told us, All the people of Mousilon were frightened, and Duke Lawn came here twice. Everywhere he went, he immediately formed the Holy Grail Court, and then almost everyone in the entire village would be burned at the stake."

"Because the army of knights led by Duke Lawn cannot tell the difference between the twisted creations of chaos and the deformed serfs, and cannot find a clear dividing line, they simply treat them all as creations of chaos. That is, all of them will be burned at the stake."

"Therefore, the first reaction of the local serfs when they saw us was to run away for their lives, but the young man only talked to us because he was too hungry and wanted to have a full meal with the hope of death. He said The only meal he had had in three months was a frog from the swamp, which he swallowed alive until his stomach beat for a long time."

Bertrand choked up when he said this.

Raymond took over the topic, and the young captain of the Halberd Company said with some caution: "Moreover, the wilderness of Musilon is very unsafe. All kinds of undead, beasts, and creatures of chaos are infested. We met several times along the way. If Sir Bertrand's archery skills were not superb enough and we were equipped with firearms to deal with those powerful enemies, we might not have been able to come back."

"That place is still as corrupt and decadent as ever." Ryan sighed.

The room fell into silence, and only the sound of Thomas doing calculations outside came into the restaurant. Raymond was a little embarrassed and wanted to go out to drink, but Ryan immediately waved his hand to say no.

"So have you ever been close to the lord's castle?" Ryan then asked.

"Yes, there are many lords' castles in Mousilon." It was Bertrand's turn to answer, because he had the best eyesight: "There are many castles, but most of them are dilapidated. Some castles were attacked by the Duke of Laune twice. Longshi was captured, but some castles are still there. The common point among them is that there are a large number of corpses outside the castle. Some of the corpses were left behind when the chivalry army led by Duke Lawn broke into the castle and killed the vampire lord, but more As a warning, the vampire lords destroyed any uninvited guests who dared to invade their territory."

"We can know from the local serfs that these lords and nobles wear black armor and black helmets all day long and lock themselves deep in the castle. They may have ruled the castle in their own names for centuries, and in Mu Xi Long, all the lords are basically undead. It is said that the undead lords are very dissatisfied with the current pseudo-duke of Musilon, Mathubad, because he chose to retreat to Musilon twice when facing Raun's attack and ignored their Angry about interests."

"Very good, now we have basically figured out Mousilon's situation." Ryan said that he understood: "Very well, you have completed more than half of the mission this time, so what about Lyonnas? Raymond, I heard Said you went back to your original village?"

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the room became obviously strange. At this point, Ryan and Lidya Su immediately realized that this investigation might have made important discoveries.

Ryan motioned to Juan to close the door.

"The situation is very bad, my Earl, the situation in Lyonnais is very bad." Raymond finally spoke, and he said mysteriously: "The nobles are fighting among themselves, serf riots and small civil wars, and there are also attacks from wild beasts. The threat of humans and Norscan pirates, the entire principality is now simply a lid placed on a powder keg, and the fuse has been burned into the powder keg."

"This principality could explode at any time, at any time."
