The Sun King's Evidence

Ryan had no idea what Teresa and Aurora were discussing. The Earl himself returned to the study room in the winery to sit down and sort out some information.

The large desk was filled with various documents. Ryan breathed a sigh of relief. He drank a lot today. After the banquet, everyone went back to their rooms to rest. However, as an earl, he still had to sort out the documents and the Fairy in the Lake. I made an appointment with him to meet at Lily Island in Sharon Forest at midnight.

Various materials for the attack on Mousilon were already being prepared intensively. As the earl, Ryan had to personally review a lot of information. Ryan, who had had a few too many drinks, was a little irritated, but he had to do it himself because Bree Tania is different from the Empire. In the Empire, each elector has a mature bureaucratic system to maintain his rule. As long as they need it, the bureaucrats will get things done quickly.

In Britannia, the nobles have to take on these troublesome chores themselves. Sometimes Ryan is very glad that he has a wife like Sulia who is extremely talented in internal affairs and gentle and considerate. She can always handle all kinds of things. Well done.

While reviewing the documents, Ryan thought that the bureaucracy is indeed very annoying, but it is extremely necessary to exist because it can ensure efficient administrative capabilities, efficient handling of various daily affairs, and efficient material allocation capabilities. Britannia's relatively backward vassal system was completely unable to catch up.

For example, Emperor Karl-Franz sitting in Braunschweig wants a box of oranges. He only needs an order. In an hour, the bureaucrats appointed by the emperor will send a box of oranges to the palace. The emperor himself will Once you give the order, you don’t have to worry about it anymore.

And what about Brittany? King Richard wants a box of oranges. He has to send someone to the warehouse to check, right? Richard must then order his servants to go to the market to search for him, hasn’t he? Then he would sign a collection order and go to the orchard to collect it.

Maybe a few days passed in this process, and Richard had to give orders at every step.

This is the difference between the two systems.

With his own bureaucracy, Emperor Karl-Franz could free up his hands to handle major military and political affairs, or personally lead troops on expeditions. He did not have to worry about the entire imperial court being in chaos in his absence. Simple and tedious tasks would naturally be completed by someone. , the emperor himself only needed to focus on the important things.

The lords of Britannia were not able to do this. They were forced to deal with many tedious daily affairs on weekdays. If they left their territory, they had to appoint regents and acting officials.

But this is not without benefits in Britannia. It is precisely because of this vassal system that military expenditures and various supplies are issued by the knights themselves, and the knights themselves will not embezzle their own money.

The empire is different. The more troops there are, the longer the supply lines. Military expenditures and materials are distributed at all levels, which naturally gives bureaucrats opportunities to get their hands on. When Richard's valet entered the palace with a box of oranges, the valet Really only one box of oranges was confiscated in his territory, and when Emperor Karl-Franz was tasting oranges in the palace, his officials had most likely already confiscated two boxes in the name of the emperor. Oranges, even four boxes of fruit.

In the process of handing it over, three boxes of fruits disappeared. Where did these things go?

No one knows, and everyone knows.

And as time goes by, the bureaucracy will become larger and larger, more and more decayed and decayed. It is like a precision-operated gear. Today it is turning to maintain its rule, and tomorrow it will continue to operate seamlessly. The entire system Inertia will gradually develop.

After thinking wildly for a while, while Ryan was immersed in correcting documents, the study door was pushed open.

Sulia, who was wearing a white fox velvet, low-collar, charming light pink pleated satin dress and a brown windbreaker, held a silver plate and pushed the door directly in. The long golden curly hair was shining with water, and the female knight's face was filled with emotion. With endless tenderness, she came to Ryan and put the plate on the table: "My husband, thank you for your hard work. This is a midnight snack."

There is a glass of hot milk and a mille-feuille on the silver plate. It is made of three layers of brown multi-layered pastry and two layers of sweet cheese sauce. Although the ingredients are simple, the pastry making process is extremely complicated and the producer must fold the pastry repeatedly. , so that the pastry is delicious enough.

Ryan looked up from the large number of books. When he saw the exquisite craftsmanship in the pastry, he immediately understood something: "Did you make it yourself?"

"The lady taught me how to do it." Sulia smiled, and then the countess screamed. She was picked up by the waist and put on her husband's lap. The female knight was startled: "Ryan! You guy! "

"Madam~" "You are still the best to me!"

"Of course, I'm your wife!" Sulia stretched out her index finger and tapped Ryan's forehead. The female knight's breathtakingly beautiful face was filled with deep happiness: "Okay, eat it while it's hot. , Do you want to go to Lily Island tonight?"

"Well, Madam's Oracle, what we have been preparing for is about to come to fruition." Ryan nodded, but he did not intend to let Sulia go. He held his wife's body on his lap: "Sulia, Is there anything else? Come talk to me."

"Of course." Sulia looked at the heavy snow outside the window. The gentle and pleasant female knight leaned obediently into Ryan's arms: "Lian, I always feel that your behavior today is a bit strange. You seem to be doing it on purpose." Miss Aurora."

"Why did I alienate her? I led my subordinates to greet her outside the winery and applauded her." Ryan hugged his wife and said with a smile.

"That's not what I meant. You have done enough etiquette. What I am saying is that if it is true as I understand, you and the female elder Aurora have known each other for more than ten years, but today you behave like He is a guest who has only met her a few times, and the distance is obvious." Lidya Su took the opportunity to ask questions that she was concerned about.

"I did it on purpose." Ryan's fingers slid through the ends of Sulia's long golden curly hair.

"on purpose?"

"Well, actually my relationship with the female elder Aurora and Teresa is quite complicated. You must also know that Aurora once saved my adoptive father Norman in a war." Ryan nodded, and the couple The two of them tasted the hot milk and delicious mille-feuille crisps sent by Sulia while listening to Ryan's story: "I also used to speak condescendingly in front of her."

"Ryan, you don't seem to be such a vengeful person." Sulia said amusingly: "You are not King Belega."

"It's not that I hold grudges, it's just that my status has changed now, but it is very likely that Aurora's perception of me has not changed. Maybe in her impression, I am still the one who has to bow in front of her and stand up to speak. , a groveling young man." Ryan said with a wry smile: "If I act very close, maybe Ms. Aurora really feels that she is still the unattainable holy witch, and that will be troublesome, I just want Equality, it’s that simple.”

"So you are pretending to be cold just to make her realize the reality, because you are no longer the little knight who can make her round and flatten at will?" Sulia immediately realized what Ryan was thinking.

"Sometimes a little distance is not a bad thing." Ryan nodded: "I can't let my subordinates think that I am weak and can be bullied. Besides, I am the lady's chosen champion."

"Yes." Lidya Su leaned lazily in Ryan's arms, and the couple enjoyed a warm moment: "Just think about it."

"Except for Veronica, witches all have this common problem. They look down on men who are too weak, but men who are too strong...forget it, I think you know it, Sulia." Ryan's expression was a bit complicated. : "Actually, I have repaid a lot of favors to Aurora and Theresa over the years. I feel that I owe them nothing. Theresa is indeed my female courtier, but once I lower my posture, Aurora La Bing will make a lot of conditions and demands, and if I refuse them all, it will appear that I am a little too cold, which is not chivalry."

"No wonder you have always doted on Ms. Veronica." Sulia seemed not to care about Aurora's affairs. The female knight thought that if Ryan could not refuse some conditions then, as a wife, she would come out to stop it. The female knight But he was completely indifferent to this female elder of the Gloria Council.

The two were cozy for a while. After Ryan finished correcting the last document, he stood up and said, "Then I'll go out."

"Well, I will wait for you to come back." Sulia nodded. The female knight knew that the oracle of the Lake Fairy asked Ryan to go to Lily Island to meet her at midnight.

Ryan kissed Sulia gently for a few seconds, turned around and left the room, leaving Sulia alone in the room.

Looking at the heavy snow outside the house, Lidya Su picked up the pen and was about to write something.

An unexplained nausea suddenly surged into the female knight's throat, and Sulia took two deep breaths to calm down.

Immediately, she seemed to suddenly realize something, and her originally pale face was suddenly stained with red clouds.

…………I am the dividing line that suddenly makes me sick…………

Deep in the forest of Chalon, in the Holy Land of Britannia, on the Lily Island, deep in the middle of the lake, under the ground.

Within the vortex formed by the condensed power of the fairy in the lake, ten teenage boys lay quietly. Most of them were locked in mysterious devices. A pure spiritual vortex enveloped them, and the lake The golden power of the fairy is also flowing around these boys.

The fairy in the lake, who had not appeared for a long time, walked in front holding the golden Holy Grail: "These are all the remaining heirs of yours. Only ten of them persisted to the end. The rest either failed to pass the test and died, or were unable to bear it. The energy exploded, and some were swallowed up by the Chaos Realm and turned into a ball of ashes."

Today’s goddess is wearing a high-quality fragrant ribbed knitted silk skirt. The slits in the skirt reveal her slender legs, which are slender and well-proportioned under the black pantyhose. The neckline of the long skirt is stretched tightly by the goddess’s plumpness. Her ankle-length golden hair hangs down like a waterfall. The fairy in the lake wears a corolla made of golden iris on her head. Her body is covered with all kinds of pearls, especially the one she got from Sulia. The whole set of white gold jewelry is the favorite of the fairy in the lake.

The beautiful and unparalleled goddess was frowning now. She followed suit, with a pair of black stockings and fiery red high heels, and said with some complaint: "Ryan, you'd better ensure that your heir is strong enough. Otherwise, the price we paid for this experiment was really huge."

"The number of surviving Gray Knights has always been very low. Even with me as the original body here, it is already a miracle that ten of the three hundred boys can survive." Ryan frowned and followed behind the Lake Fairy. He checked one by one. Looking at the training chamber of these boys, the Gray Knight Primarch looked at his remaining ten descendants: "My lady, I remember that I only asked you to help me transform these boys, and I did not ask you to inject your divine power into them. In the body, right?"

"My champion, please don't doubt my motives!" The Lake Fairy turned around and stretched out her little hand wearing a platinum bracelet and platinum ring with the emperor's blessing, pinched Ryan's face, and said angrily: " Without my divine assistance, perhaps only one or two of the three hundred boys would have survived.”

Ryan's brows furrowed even more after hearing what the Lake Fairy said. He opened his mouth, but didn't say anything in the end.

The secret army-building plan of the Gray Knights belonging to this world had already begun a few years ago. Last Winter Veil, the Emperor and Clarkson who arrived brought more than a dozen Gray Knights' gene seeds to Ryan, and also cultivated the Gray Knights. Skills for Cavalier Recruits.

Lane immediately began his plan to build an army.

Through the channel and help of the Fairy in the Lake, over a few years, Ryan has secretly collected three hundred boys with sufficient psychic talents, and stored them underground in the deepest vortex of the Lily Island Lake in the Sharon Forest. Use the secret relics left by the ancient saints to implant and incubate gene seeds.

However, the success rate was appallingly low. In the first month of the transformation experiment, more than half of the 300 boys died.

But this is the price of creating Gray Knight recruits. Gray Knights are the last genetic legacy of the Emperor. A powerful spirit and a holy body are the most precious gifts given by the Emperor to the Gray Knights Chapter. Even Belisar, the Great Sage of the Mechanicum, Liu Caul has improved the manufacturing technology through the blood of the Primarch Ryan, even though Ryan's own psychic powers can protect and guide the minds of these boys, making them more tenacious and tough. These boys with psychic talents They still died in droves.

It can be seen from this that in the absence of the Primarch, the Gray Knights trained new recruits at a high cost.

By the way, when the emperor left, nearly a thousand milliliters of blood was taken from Ryan's body. It took Ryan several days to recover.

Nearly a year later, only ten of the three hundred boys are left. These remaining ten boys will be implanted with the Gray Knight's gene seeds, and then slowly grow in the cultivation chamber until the gene seeds are integrated into their bodies and bodies. soul.

These boys will become the Honor Guard of the Gray Knights Chapter.

They will fight alongside the Primarch until the end of the world.
