The Sun King's Evidence

Since Lion's rise in the old world, especially after killing the Chosen Champion of Khorne and King of Skarins, Aegir-Red Eye, his existence has officially entered the sight of the Four Gods of Chaos.

There have always been countless conspiracies surrounding Lion, but no matter how troublesome it was, he survived (many troubles were solved by the Emperor's Custodes and Angron).

The Four Gods of Chaos also face a problem, that is, their influence on the main material world is limited by the Great Guardian and the Maelstrom. There are still difficulties in directly intervening in the mortal world.

So the evil god placed his hope on the Chaos sect that was active and lurking in the mortal world.

So the question comes again, is the Kingdom of Knights on the other side of the mountain convenient for the activities of the Chaos Cult?

The answer is, inconvenient.

Brittanian knights generally believe in the Fairy of the Lake, and a very small number of knights believe in the sea god Mannann (Boldero), the war goddess Myrmidia (Carcassonne), and the goddess of mercy Thalia. (Kurona), knights are often the guardians of order and firmly control the territory, which makes the corruption of Chaos forces very low among the nobles.

Not to mention the serfs, because they might not understand what these strange guys are talking about after talking for a long time.

Therefore, it is particularly difficult to go to Lane's territory to cause trouble. First, there is no mass base, and second, there is no superstructure.

But it is completely different in the empire. As mentioned earlier, the Chaos Sect in the empire can be described in eight words, that is, a hundred flowers bloom and a hundred schools of thought contend.

The Society of Carpathians is one of them. This sect is the largest Slaanesh sect in the history of the empire. Its history has been accompanied by the glory of the empire since the establishment of the empire by Charlemagne, and it has continued to erode the great noble circles of the empire. , when people were obsessed with many achievements in architecture, art, culture, etc., the Revelers' Association gradually spread among the imperial aristocratic circles. At first, the Revelers' Association was only responsible for providing entertainment and food for the palace, but as time went on, , this association grew larger and larger, eroding many of the great nobles and corrupting them into followers of Slaanesh.

It was not until near the time of the Three Kings that a demon hunter accidentally discovered that the great chanter of the Church of Justice in Nuer was actually a Slaanesh believer. Although countless nobles and clergy tried their best to obliterate this demon hunter and erase the truth, The demon hunter revealed the truth to the public before his death, which shocked the entire empire and sent troops to annihilate him.

But just after that, the famous plague, the Black Death, broke out, which left the Carnival Society breathing a sigh of relief. It began to lurk in Nuer. After learning its lesson, this Chaos Sect is now very, very cautious. They neither participate in the internal affairs of the palace nor the war. They believe that war is Khorne's business, internal affairs is Tzeentch's business, and the pursuit of health and longevity is Nurgle's business. They only want to satisfy their own desires, which keeps them in a Out of sight of the witchers and battle-priests, at least for the time being.

Now, they're setting their sights on something new.

In the darkness, several voices continued the conversation.

"Ryan Malcador's strength is too strong. We must not hope for a head-on confrontation." A distorted voice said: "We must protect ourselves and hide ourselves in order to find opportunities."

"We have confirmed the target. He is indeed located in the large suite on the top floor of the Royal Hotel." Another younger voice said: "But how are we going to implement the plan?"

"Shut up, this is not what you should know. What you need is execution, not understanding." In the shadow, a voice said impatiently: "If there is an exact plan, we will tell you, but now, The fewer people who know, the better.”

"Now, let's see what we can do." The distorted voice echoed in the darkness: "This is Brunswick. It is difficult for us to assemble an army, and no one can deal with Ryan Macado. Even to confirm the target, we have to take advantage of him to take people out to do it."

"No rush, we have a lot of time, this is Ms. Qingrou's will."

"We are hiding and they are hiding. There are many of our people in the entire capital of the empire. We must wait patiently, and right now, there is the best time."

"The Royal Chief Wizard Competition?"

"Yes, wait patiently! We have collected this."

At this time, a faint purple light finally shone in the room. The carpet splashed with hot milk was placed on a table. Several black hands groped on the carpet for a while and picked up a stick from the carpet. Golden hair: "This is it."

The leader began to chant a mantra.

Halfway through the spell, the leader of the Slaanesh cult suddenly stopped casting the spell: "Wait, I feel something is wrong! There is something wrong with the spell. This is not the spell I want!"

No one answered him.

"Damn! You?" The leader of the Slaanesh cult immediately took out a dagger with the holy symbol of Slaanesh from his arms. His hands couldn't help but tremble: "Answer me!"

Still no one answered.

Soon, deathly silence returned to the room.

A week later.

"A large-scale murder occurred in a house of the famous von Schreck family in a wealthy area of ​​Braunschweig. More than a dozen members of the von Schreck family were all killed in the murder. The murderer even He stayed at the scene for several hours before leaving." Sitting in the large suite living room of the Royal Hotel, Ryan read the newspaper and frowned: "This kind of thing can happen in the capital of the empire. I think Karl- Franz is going to send someone to sort things out."

"Karl was very angry about what happened." Emilia hugged her son and fed him. The Imperial Dame felt that this atmosphere of a family of three was exactly what she wanted: "He has sent a large number of It’s been surveyed manually.”

"At this critical moment when the royal chief wizard competition is about to begin, the emperor will not allow any unrest to occur." Ryan still frowned, his blue eyes rolling back and forth: "But this matter has a certain meaning from beginning to end. It’s strange that the murderer was not trying to steal money or have any other purpose, and after the incident, he actually stayed there for several hours before leaving. What was the purpose of this?”

"Mom, I want to eat meat, I want to eat meat~" Little Frederick acted coquettishly in his mother's arms, and at the same time shouted to Ryan: "I want daddy to hold me, and daddy feed me meat~"

"Okay, okay~eat meat~" Ryan quickly put down the newspaper and picked up his son. The little boy happily found a place to sit down in his father's arms, and then pinched his father's face with his hands.

"Hahahaha~" Ryan's face was very hard, and Frederick's hand hurt even though he couldn't hold it. He burst into tears in embarrassment, which aroused laughter from Ryan and Amelia. The Imperial Lady suddenly felt very happy.

In the kitchen, Olica and Sylvia were frying steaks. Emilia looked at Ryan holding her son and talking and laughing. She suddenly remembered something and her face turned red: "Frederick?"

"What's wrong, mom?" The little boy was still very close to his mother.

"Tell me, would it be nice for my mother to give you another brother or sister?" Amelia's beautiful and charming face was red. She was talking to her son, but her eyes were looking at Ryan.

"I want a sister, I want a sister!" Little Frederick shouted happily: "Mom, if it's a sister, what's her name?"

"Can I call you Rem or Ram?" Emilia still stared at Ryan.

"Okay!" The little boy didn't think too much, he raised his hands in the air and responded loudly.

Ryan felt a little stressed. He hugged his son. Before he could say anything, the Imperial Dame rushed to speak: "What do you think, Dad? Okay?"

"Uh..." Ryan was a little embarrassed: "Emilia, it's impossible to tell."

"There's nothing uncertain, so let's decide happily." The little maid waved her hand and settled the matter quite domineeringly. Ryan had nothing to do about it.

After a while, Sulia also came out of the room. At this time, the female knight had returned to her usual dignified, elegant and graceful appearance. She said to Ryan with some blame: "What are you talking about outside, so loud?" , I finally put my son to sleep."

"Look at this." Ryan handed the newspaper to Sulia. The female knight sat next to Ryan with her long legs and took the newspaper. The news in the newspaper immediately made Sulia's expression slightly change: "This is terrible. It's not fun, Ryan, and the kids can't be put in danger."

"Besides this, there is one more thing." Ryan frowned: "According to Olica and Sylvia, on the day we went to visit the Imperial Zoo, a waiter who acted strangely came into the room. When I came here, he was wearing white leather shoes, which is an unusual attire for a hotel waiter."

"Wait... the day we visited the zoo, wasn't that the day this murder happened?" The wise female knight immediately realized that there was something wrong with this: "I think this incident is different from the previous incident. Connected!"

"Calm down, Sulia, this is Brunswick." Ryan stood up. He thought for a moment, then shook his head and sat down: "These two things may be related, maybe not, but we must not mess up. First Let’s just pretend that nothing happened for the time being. In a week’s time there will be a competition for the chief wizard of the empire. At this juncture, the emperor will not give us the power to search everywhere.”

"But our son is here!" Sulia said dissatisfiedly. The female knight was extremely concerned about this matter: "Ryan, this is not what father and mother should do..."

Just then, lunch was ready, and Olica and Sylvia brought it out. Today's lunch was Rick's steak, cauliflower, and macaroni with tomato sauce, served with bread and corn soup.

"Madam, don't think so much, let's eat first." The dark elf placed the steak in front of Sulia, and Olica said respectfully: "Today's lunch is Rick steak."

"Thank you." Sulia could only put away her serious expression and thank Orika. No matter what the situation was, Sulia, as the legitimate daughter of a great noble and a duchess, maintained a perfect posture. Asked Devon Hill, the baby, who was only five or six months old, was often made to cry by his mother.

"Here are the tableware, madam." Olica handed over the knife, fork and spoon again. The tableware was wrapped in a soft napkin. Sulia reached out to take the napkin and slowly opened it.

Halfway through opening the napkin, Lidya Su's expression changed slightly. She immediately closed the napkin again and took out the tableware from the napkin: "Okay, I understand."

Lunch started in the restaurant.

…………I am the dividing line for cutting steak…………

At the same time, the old world, the empire, Talabek territory, and the blood pine forest.

The great alchemist of the empire led an army of about 8,000 people and slowly marched along a relatively wide road in the forest. They were already very close to Brunswick.

Just a month ago, this army destroyed a Chaos army on the high mountain pass of Vostok Province in the north of Kislev, and successfully prevented the other party's attempt to release the ancient dragon demon Korek-Sun Eater. The Great Alchemist also officially won the trust of the Imperial Army with this battle, because when thousands of molten metals fell from the sky, when the Chaos Plate Armor and weapons that the Chaos Army was proud of all turned into Lead and clay, when those terrifying chaos eggs had turned into gold-plated statues during the charge, it was difficult for the empire's troops not to regard Gelt as the savior and reliable partner of the empire.

More importantly, the Great Alchemist was a popular figure under Emperor Karl-Franz, and was trusted and relied upon by the emperor. Originally, some imperial generals were quite critical of this, but when they saw Geert on the battlefield, After taking the lead and shouting "For The Emperor", the imperial generals were ashamed of their previous superficial thoughts, and no one questioned Galt's loyalty and belief.

Unity is the key to victory and a successful return for this army.

But now, what appears in front of Geert is Gottfried Odo, the supreme dean of the Academy of Light, and thousands of troops under his command. The supreme dean of the Academy of Light is riding on an imperial Pegasus. , the army under his command obviously came with bad intentions. This army blocked the road and showed no signs of getting out of the way. They pointed their sharp halberds, muskets and black-hole Imperial cannon muzzles at the army returning from the expedition.

The imperial troops under Gelt's command were obviously filled with grief, anger and disbelief at this scene.

A month ago, for the empire, for humanity, and for the old world, they fought to the death with the Chaos army on the high mountain passes of Kislev Oriental Province. In the severe cold and the thin air of the plateau, these soldiers fought to prevent the Chaos army from releasing the The Elder Dragon Demon Korek-Sun-Eater, without complaint, defeated the armies of Chaos by shouting the name of the Empire and Emperor Karl-Franz.

But now, the scarred and exhausted soldiers can’t even return home?

The army was shaken. When Gelt saw this, he immediately rode out on the Pegasus Swift Silver. A sound like iron scraping was made under the metal mask of the great alchemist: "Odo, are you here to welcome me?"

"I have a proposal, Galt!" Odo, riding on the Pegasus, the supreme dean of the Academy of Light, said calmly: "We are all fellow human beings. Can you and your army be stationed in the Blood Pine Forest for a while? So...a week or two? Don't worry, I have already made clear arrangements for all your food, accommodation and military pay."

"Wow!" The imperial troops who returned from the expedition were in an uproar. What is the dean of Guangming Academy doing? !

Geert's voice was calm: "So, you don't allow me to go back to Brunswick?"

"This is all for your own good, Great Alchemist." Odo nodded, and the supreme dean of Guangming Academy said loudly: "That is not a place suitable for you. This is good for you, good for me, and good for everyone. good."

"Then...what if I say no?" The great alchemist's tone was still calm.

"Then I can only say sorry!"

updated! It's a little late. Yesterday's two updates were too painful. I'm sorry.
