The Sun King's Evidence

Looking at the man in his early thirties in front of her, Aurora, as a female elder of the Gloria Council and a powerful person in the Sanctuary, felt mixed emotions.

When she first met Ryan, he was still a shy knight errant. Apart from Aurora thinking that this boy was quite handsome, she didn't take him seriously at all. A chance meeting , Ryan stood and talked to her almost the whole time, and Aurora didn't take it seriously at all.

This is a common problem among the female spellcasters of the Gloria Council.

Later, when Ryan was twenty-two years old, he defeated the beastman Beast King "Fang" Gor, was named a knight of the kingdom and joined the White Wolf Knights. Aurora began to feel that this young man was a little different. She began to call him "Norman" Claiming to be "the savior", when Norman was suffering from rheumatism due to old age, Aurora also took the initiative to lend a helping hand and visited the Auternay territory twice.

In other words, Aurora was thinking about nurturing her daughter at that time. As her daughter grew up, she wanted to choose a good husband. As for the impoverished Veronica? When the time comes, she won't be able to defend Ryan if she uses a little more tactics.

So does Ryan have a crush on their mother and daughter?

What is certain is that at least there is no ill feeling, because at the banquet where Ryan was inaugurated as a knight of the kingdom, this guy had a dark history of pretending to drop a spoon under the table, and then secretly watching them...

This is also the reason why she sent her daughter Theresa to Ryan to perform the mission together. The Holy Witch did have a little thought in her heart. She felt that Ryan had great potential and might become a powerful lord in the future. Their mother and daughter are the greatest support outside parliament.

Within the parliament, the internal struggle between Aurora and Speaker Margarita has been going on for decades, and both sides are in urgent need of more foreign aid.

However, Ryan's growth has exceeded Aurora's expectations. This young man is now a famous human hero in the old world, and he is also a Grand Knight of the Holy Grail.

Not only did Aurora fail to achieve her goal, she also lost a daughter.

I don’t know how Teresa was completely captured by Ryan. Not only did she build a wizard tower here, but she didn’t even go back to the parliament. Aurora looked at the smiling Ryan himself and felt quite annoyed. She had been there for more than ten years. Before, the young man in front of him had to stand in front of him with his head bowed respectfully and speak, but now he was taking the initiative.

But she still has to keep the enthusiasm on her face, because Ryan is no longer what he used to be. He is not only a powerful earl, one of the most powerful nobles in southern Brittany, but behind him is the Church of the Lady of the Lake. and the support of the Knights of the Holy Grail.

Before Aurora had time to think, Ryan had already begun to applaud. Following the Earl's move, a dozen knights and dozens of fully armed soldiers near the winery applauded almost simultaneously.

"Your territory is simply a pearl in southern Britannia. Your achievements... are as dazzling as the morning stars in the northern sky." Aurora's voice was deep, and it took her a little effort to squeeze out this sentence. Warm words: "Be well, Teresa, my daughter, how are you doing?"

"I'm fine, mother. I hope I have the honor to let you visit my wizard tower this time." Theresa looked very excited about Aurora's arrival.

"I'm looking forward to it." Aurora nodded silently when she saw her daughter looking good and wearing luxurious clothes.

When was the last time you said such a compliment? Aurora almost forgot.

But times have changed. Becoming a strong man in the Sanctuary at the age of thirty or becoming a strong man in the Sanctuary at the age of sixty are two different concepts. Faced with Ryan's current status, even Aurora has to lower her stance and talk about equality. .

"Hahaha, Ms. Aurora, we have known each other for many years. You don't have to go out of your way to praise me like this. This makes me very uncomfortable. I think you said it awkwardly." Ryan said with a smile: "It's cold outside. I have already arranged a banquet and invited visitors from the Gloria Council to attend."

So official! Too formal! Listening to Ryan's words, Aurora frowned almost subconsciously.

Has the shy boy in his early teens turned into this mature, prudent man who speaks aristocratic polite language and has a rich family?

The mature beauty only felt a little irritated in her heart. She still liked the young knight errant who was less than twenty years old and stood in front of her with his head bowed and answered, rather than the fairy in the lake who she entrusted with the virtual snake to choose the champion. .

The inner irritability did not affect the long-sleeved witch of the Holy Land who was good at dancing. With a warm smile on her face, she stepped aside slightly. Only then did everyone notice that there were about 20 witches walking out from behind Aurora. , they were uniformly wearing fiery red Jialan robes and standard knee-length dress skirts. The clothes on their bodies were all made of fine fabrics. Among them were twelve official witches and eight witch apprentices. The ages of the witch apprentices were obviously All under the age of sixteen, it seems that they are the next batch of apprentices who are lucky enough to be sent to Teresa to study.

The weather was very cold, and most of the witch apprentices were shivering. When they saw Ryan asking, they all looked at Aurora expectantly.

"Okay, let's go in, please!"

"Please, Ms. Aurora."

A sumptuous banquet had already been arranged in the lobby of the winery. The maids led by Sylvia and Olica served a variety of local Brittany dishes to the long table, all decorated with silver. Tableware making and large barrels of wine from the Duchy of Winford both show Lane's current wealth.

Behind the window on the third floor of the winery, Lidya Su and Veronica were still standing there chatting. The female knight playfully said to Veronica: "It can be seen that this female elder of Jialan is not used to complimenting others. .”

"She is used to others begging her. This woman has always been strong." Veronica held her delicate face with her small hands wearing black lace gloves. The Witch of Gloria laughed at Aurora's arrival: "There are still people in the north of the empire. In the Kingdom of Nord, the nobles asked Aurora to help them. When the nobles came to Aurora's wizard tower to seek help from her, Aurora could loudly tell them to get out. Those nobles We don’t dare to be disrespectful in the slightest, otherwise we will end up being blown away by a magic.”

"Are there no male nobles who are strong enough?" Sulia asked with interest.

"Yes, but not much." Veronica shook her head: "You also know that the northern part of the empire and the Kingdom of Nord are in a bitter cold, with few resources and constant war with the northern barbarians. People often can only maintain barely enough food and clothing. Can they concentrate on cultivation? To some extent, there are very few even legendary strong men. To cultivate a strong man in the holy realm, one must not only lay a solid foundation at a young age and receive guidance from famous teachers, but also have enough resources and divine support. This is too difficult. "

"That's it." Sulia nodded, and the female knight stood up: "Since Ms. Aurora is here, as the masters, let's go down to greet her!"

The elegant countess also appeared to say hello to Aurora. Sulia slowly approached with a smile and said: "Very welcome, Ms. Aurora from the Gloria Council. Your arrival has made our winery more prosperous." Shenghui, on behalf of all the nobles and serfs of the Earl of Glamorgan, as well as the Duke of Winford family of Redmond the Pure, one of the first twelve Holy Grail Knights, I welcome you."

Listening to this series of titles, the smile on Aurora's face froze. The female elder of Jialan took a moment to look at Ryan's wife, Sulia, and sighed in her heart, thinking that as the news showed, Ryan's wife My wife is the real daughter of a duke, from a noble family, and her strength is no worse than Theresa: "Hello, Mrs. Sulia."

"Welcome, Ms. Aurora. On behalf of the Lady of the Lake, the Knights of the Holy Grail, and the Order of the Saints, I welcome your arrival." The Lake God Witch Morgiana also appeared. She did not seem to particularly welcome Aurora's arrival. , just said hello briefly, and then sat down next to Ryan without hesitation, and Sulia surrounded Ryan on the left and right. Morgiana even deliberately pressed against Ryan so that he could not secretly talk to Ou Ruo. Talk.

This boy's status is now different than before. Even the most powerful Lake God and Witch in this country will personally participate in this banquet, right? The mature and beautiful Aurora only felt the pressure on her shoulders, but out of a woman's instinct, she vaguely felt that Morgiana seemed to have deep hostility towards her.

Maybe it was because the Lake God Witch, as the leader of the local religious and magical forces in Britannia, didn't like her. It made perfect sense to think so. Aurora greeted Morgiana, but she always remained a little stiff. warm smile.

Then came Veronica, whom the Witch of Gloria greeted simply: "Hello, Ms. Trowick."

"Hello, Ms. Bernadotte." Aurora simply replied coldly.

These two witches are opposites in any camp, and they don't even bother to say a polite word.

Everyone took their seats and the banquet began.

In winter, the lively banquet made the originally deserted winery atmosphere become lively. Undoubtedly, the person with the highest interest at the banquet was the sorceress Teresa. She sat next to her mother, held her mother's hand and said Talking about this and that, Ryan also made frequent toasts, and the entire visiting group of witches received a warm welcome.

Aurora brought the newly invented high-yielding grains of the Gloria Council. This kind of grains can partially survive on the extremely cold and extremely harsh Kislev Icefield. It must have been influenced by the wood elves and the lake goddess Morgiana. After research, grain production will reach a higher level.

At the same time, Aurora also brought new technologies about golems and magic crystal cannons. Powerful battle golems can be produced in Veronica and Theresa's wizard towers, and magic crystal cannons can be installed on castles. Or the top of the wizard tower. It is said that this crystal cannon can destroy a small army with one charge.

A group of green-skinned boys from the northern troll kingdom of Kislev were lucky enough to experience the power of the magic crystal cannon. More than a hundred green-skinned boys were blown to pieces by the cannon. Now the magic crystal cannon is ready to be installed. On the walls of the White Wolf City, it was named "Urik's Thunder" by Elector Boris.

Aurora is here to send drawings this time.

Of course, the magic crystal cannon is expensive to build, but there is no reason for Ryan to not want such a powerful war machine. He accepted the drawings and thought that after the banquet was over, he would invite the dwarf engineer Dugan-Tiehan and members of the Angland clan. Chief Engineer Hal Hafer-Gold Digger looked at the drawings to see how to make this magic crystal cannon.

Give me one too!

In return, Llane would provide the Council of Gloria with rare magical plants and many valuable goods from the Wood Elves, as well as imported grimoires from the wizarding kingdom of Savrien, the high elf.

If the High-Elf Magic Book of the Garland Council can still import some from Marienburg, the scarce goods of the wood elves are especially precious. The guys in this group of forests are all stubborn. They only recognize Ryan and only talk to him. In the Lane Trade, no matter what the major forces in the old world think of, the Wood Elves will always shoot the mission into a sieve with bows and arrows, and then send back one alive.

From Ryan's point of view, as a lord, he hopes to diversify the forces in his territory and does not want the Fairy of the Lake to be the dominant force. Therefore, Ryan is quite welcoming and enthusiastic about Aurora's arrival. Especially when Theresa has become his female courtier, the cooperation between this mature and beautiful mother-in-law and Ryan seems logical.

After the meal, Ryan arranged the guest room for Aurora and her party, who were tired from the journey, to have a good rest: "Ms. Aurora, I have arranged the guest room. You have worked hard for coming all the way. Please have a good rest. If you need anything, please contact the maid. Sylvia said, or you can tell me directly if you feel it is necessary."

"Any need?" Aurora had a smile on her face. She stared at Ryan's face: "I just hope that Sir Ryan will treat me better and stop being so harsh. I will be very happy."

"Haha~ It's my problem." Ryan smiled when he heard this. He admitted his mistake frankly. The count himself took the sorceress's little hand and said softly to Theresa: "Dear Theresa, you and Ms. Aurora also have a lot of differences. Haven't seen you for a long time, right? Just stay here tonight."

Teresa nodded after hearing this. The sorceress really wanted to have some private words with her mother: "What about you? Ryan? You and your mother haven't seen each other for a long time. Do you want to stay and chat together?"

"No, I still have something to do." Ryan shook his head. He seemed to have something important to do. After arranging for the witch visiting group to stay, the count himself left in a hurry.

After Ryan's figure disappeared from the corner, the smile on Aurora's face immediately faded a lot. The mother and daughter walked into the guest room. All the furniture in the luxurious guest room was available. Aurora closed the door and set up a magic circle. , put his cowhide bag on the table in the room, sat down, sighed, and then looked at the somewhat embarrassed sorceress with a half-smile: "Are you satisfied now? My daughter?"

"Mother!" Teresa sat opposite Aurora. The sorceress was a little excited, but didn't know where to start: "Ryan is just a little busy."

"Well, it's normal for a man to be busy, and it's also a sign of his excellence, especially for a man like Ryan." Aurora took off her fox fur coat, revealing her proud figure. The wave of mana on the Domain Witch's body fluctuated back and forth. She sighed softly: "But I still like the obedient young man who stood in front of me. Now Ryan seems too mature. So mature that I doubt whether you can control it." You can live with such a man, my daughter, I know you too well, you are not proactive enough in daily interactions, and you don’t know how to win a man’s favor through small actions.”

"Ryan is not that kind of person." Teresa shook her head repeatedly: "He is very good to me. If it weren't for his full help and the invitation of dwarf engineers and dwarf craftsmen, my wizard tower would not be so easy to build. "

"He will accept you and whether you are likeable enough are not the same thing." Aurora shook her head. The Holy Witch looked at Teresa and sighed: "I kind of regret agreeing to let you come here now." A wizard tower is being built here. I encouraged you before because I wanted you to become Ryan's wife. But judging from the current situation, I don't want you to stay with Ryan, but you have become Ryan's female courtier. .”

"He is the man I like, and I won't regret it!" On this point, Teresa was particularly determined. The sorceress walked to Aurora with her long legs and sat down: " You will help me, right? Mother?"

"My daughter, your personality is exactly the same as when I was young!" Aurora lovingly stroked Teresa's cold face and identical long black hair that were very similar to hers. The Holy Witch still loved her after all. Daughter: "I'm here, isn't it? Mother will help you."

"But there is one thing you have to tell me honestly." Aurora suddenly asked playfully: "You are already with Ryan, right?"

"Why...why are you suddenly asking about this?" Teresa's face suddenly turned red.

"Tell me, otherwise mother won't help you." Aurora looked at her daughter's embarrassed look with interest: "How many times a week? How is he doing? With his physique and ability, he should be pretty good. I Looking at the appearance of his wife Sulia, she is obviously very nourished."

"Two or three times a week, Ryan... is still very gentle, and I feel very comfortable when I'm with him." Teresa lowered her head and squeezed out a few words after a long time: "And it's not like you don't understand his hobbies... …”

"very good."

Ryan's situation in China is like a key training target for a department-level cadre in his early thirties. Even if Aurora is still half a level higher than him in apparent strength, her future status is destined to be above her, so Europe Ruola must lower her attitude. This is inevitable, let alone unreasonable.
