The Sun King's Evidence

Chapter 79, City Council Dinner (Part 1)

Early November, afternoon, No. 53 Amber Street, Lane's new home, bedroom on the second floor.

"Catherine, go and clean up the maid's room downstairs. You will live here from now on. There is no maid in the house for the time being. During this period, I will trouble you to... tear it up~ Ryan, please be gentle." A lazy voice said said the voice.

"Yes, Congressman." The apprentice of the Gloria Witch is wearing a red wizard's apprentice robe. She has a beautiful oval face and beautiful big eyes. Her long golden hair is combed into a bun. The girl listened carefully to her mentor. Despite the instructions, he couldn't help but feel happy on his red face.

In the Jialan Mansion, due to the stagnant crowds and the constant flow of people, unless a member of Parliament like Veronica can have a separate room, otherwise they have to squeeze into the Datong Shop. Here there are superior living conditions and clean and tidy rooms. The young apprentice is very happy about the single room, especially since he still lives on Amber Street. If he goes back, he will have a lot of bragging rights!

"Okay, Catherine, you go down first." Veronica waved her hand and motioned for her apprentice to leave: "Don't forget to change into your dress and join me at the banquet later."

"Yes." The female apprentice lifted up her skirt and went downstairs.

On the other side, Ryan was gently massaging Veronica's beautiful silk feet. The woman walked in high heels for a day, and her feet were so sore that she lay on the bed and didn't want to move as soon as she got home: "Lyan, Lady of the Lake How did you say it?"

"The lady said that Belt is at the place closest to Chaos." After searching to no avail, Ryan simply asked the Lake Fairy about Belt's whereabouts. The Lake Fairy's answer was that Belt was in Marienburg, and it was in the distance. The nearest place to chaos.

"The place closest to chaos... Ouch~" Veronica exclaimed softly, and the woman's beautiful feet shrank subconsciously.

"I told you not to wear such high heels all day long." Ryan said with some complaint while massaging the woman.

"I only wear high heels, Ryan, just like I always wear stockings, you understand why." The Witch of Gloria rolled her eyes at the man: "I must have no flaws, and I must tell everyone who I am."

Ryan was silent.

Just like aristocratic succession, the weaker the legitimacy of the heir, the more he has to emphasize his legitimacy, even if he does not hesitate to do a lot of things with twice the result, but the first heir in the full sense does not need to emphasize his legitimacy. , because there is no need.

For example, the savior Ludwig directly wore hunting clothes to attend the imperial palace banquet. This is called fashion and fashion. However, if another baron dares to wear hunting clothes to attend the palace banquet, this is called blasphemy and audacious. He will be ignored by other barons. The nobles dragged him out.

Veronica is not from a wizarding family, nor does she have any background of her own, and her reputation outside is far inferior to that of Ryan. In this case, a strong-willed witch must dress like this all day long. Through this kind of dressing, it is obvious Tell everyone that you are the rich and noble Witch of Gloria, emphasizing your identity.

She needs a hard shell to protect her sensitive heart.

Only Ryan could see her weak and defenseless look.

"...It doesn't matter. I can hug you when you get tired from walking. I can just rub your feet when they are sore. Do what you want to do." The man said softly.

"That's great. I'm just waiting for your words. Don't regret it!" Who knows that the faint sadness on the witch's body has completely disappeared. She happily jumped on Ryan's body and made a V-sign for victory with a smile. Gesture: "Then it's settled! This is an agreement with no time limit! You can't go back on it!"

"...I was deceived by you again." Ryan's eyes became dangerous.

…………

When the little apprentice came to the bathroom to pack her things, she was shocked by the sight in front of her. Why could her mentor take a bath and get it all over the bathroom? There are even water splashes on the dressing table and mirror?

In the bedroom on the second floor, Veronica changed into a purple rose-patterned evening dress. Her long black-brown curly hair was shining brightly. The woman's face was rosy. She took out a pair of white high-heeled shoes from her cabinet full of shoes and put them on, and then said casually. : "So, you have determined that Belt docked at Marienburg?"

Ryan had already changed into a standard aristocratic black tuxedo, a long scarf, and golden epaulettes: "Definitely, according to the workers on Pier 6, Weimei will take over the entire pier that day and transport a large amount of goods." of luxury goods.”

"And we also found the crew from Pier 8 in the canal area... The look in the eyes of those men really disgusted me, like a pack of jackals." Veronica turned around and motioned for the man to help her zip up the zipper. He helped her tie the ribbon, but the two of them kept talking.

"They were obviously a group of sailors who came to have fun. Didn't they say that they had just transported a batch of food and made a lot of money?" Ryan helped the woman zip up, and then helped her tie her hair in the way she liked. Bow tie: "They caroused in a brothel (Harmony) for many days. They were all depressed, but they were still drinking crazily and spending every copper coin they earned."

After both of them put on their formal attire, Ryan saw that there was still some time, so he motioned for the two of them to go downstairs and wait.

Because Veronica's skirt was very long, Ryan carried her up and down the stairs.

"So, you think it's Pier 6?" The two of them were sitting in the living room, Veronica said curiously: "Is it because Weimei Club has reserved that Pier for the whole day?"

"No, I'm sure it's the group of people from Pier 8." Ryan stretched out an index finger and swung it from side to side: "Just because of the crazy carnival, just because they are mentally depressed."

"Apathetic?"

"Well, listless. It's obviously like going through a huge mental stimulation and then frantically searching for the next feeling." Ryan leaned back, pinched his chin and thought: "That's like the initial stage of being infected by the Hedonism Sect. Zheng, do you remember that we asked them about the guests, but no one could tell the reason."

"Indeed." Veronica nodded.

Among the four gods of Chaos, most of the northern barbarians believe in the blood god Khorne, which symbolizes blood and killing, and Nurgle, which symbolizes disease and plague. This is due to the too cold environment of the northern wasteland.

In the human kingdom, these wealthy and orderly people are more likely to be corrupted by Tzeentch, who symbolizes trickery and conspiracy, and Slaanesh, who symbolizes the pursuit of unlimited pleasure and joy (harmony).

"So, it is certain that Belt's passenger ship has arrived at Marienburg..." The two were still discussing. Veronica's female apprentice Catherine came out wearing a white embroidered dress. The girl whispered: "Congressman, I Changed."

Although the female apprentice was only fifteen or sixteen years old, she was already in bloom like a flower. Her graceful appearance reminded Veronica of the time when she first entered Jialan, and she was the same at that time as she is now.

"Katherine, come here." Veronica motioned for her apprentice to come over. The little girl walked closer shyly. Veronica motioned for her to sit next to her, and then introduced to Ryan: "Forgot to formally Let me introduce, this is my apprentice, her name is Catherine, she is sixteen years old, and she is an outstanding girl that I personally selected from the apprentices last year."

"Hello." Ryan greeted politely.

"Catherine, this is the Ryan you have heard about in the parliament and from me all year round. He is my partner and my..." Veronica originally wanted to say something, but the woman stopped immediately. : "In short, his orders are my orders, do you understand?"

"Understood." The female apprentice lifted up her white skirt and made a gesture.

"Also, don't touch things you shouldn't touch. I won't remind you a second time." Veronica held Ryan's hand and gave a warning look.

"Veronica!" Ryan squeezed Veronica's little hand: "I'm not the kind of person who can't control myself."

"It's best if you're not interested." Veronica clapped her hands and signaled everyone to start: "Let's go."

At night, Marienburg was as full of noise and traffic as ever. Crowds of all kinds gathered at the city hall of Marienburg to prepare for the banquet of the Grand Duke of Marienburg.

Banquets are not uncommon in this city. Whenever night falls, banquets are an eternal theme in this city. However, today’s program is a little different. The theme of today’s banquet is to welcome the arrival of the hero Ryan from the north.

The Municipal Council of Marienburg is not so much an office as a huge club, which is decorated with the most luxurious things from the old world. Nobles from the Empire, fine wines and delicacies from Britannia, and high Various luxurious crafts from the elves, various exquisite products from the dwarves, and famous paintings and sculptures from the southern kingdoms together decorate the center of Marienburg.

"The position of the Grand Duke of Marienburg is not hereditary, but is elected. Marienburg has a House of Lords and a House of Commons. The House of Lords is composed of the presidents of the major guilds and the ten richest businessmen. The House of Lords is composed of It consists of the Archbishop of the Church of the Sea, the Archbishop of the Church of Fortune, several great nobles from Marienburg, and a representative of the High Elf. These nobles are both nobles, businessmen, and landowners. They control all the power in the city. "In the carriage, Lane said to the witch and her apprentice: "The current Grand Duke of Marienburg, 'Lender' Vander Guber-Schulz, has mastered several routes by himself. He is the only one who can A super trader who trades with the lizardmen of Lustria, and he also holds the titles of Grand Earl of Marienburg and Grand Baron of Antioch.”

Veronica nodded. The woman was carefully dressed and radiant: "Jialan has been trying to establish a cooperative relationship with him, but the Wizards Alliance has never given us a chance."

The sound of the carriage's bearings turning gradually stopped. Ryan opened the window and found that the road had been blocked by carriages, but the city hall was also in front of him.

So the three of them got out of the car. Ryan got out of the car first, and then stretched out his hand towards the car. A small hand wearing a black lace glove placed on Ryan's big hand. The Witch of Gloriosa, who was as stunning as a purple rose, opened the car curtain. Lifting up the hem of her skirt, she carefully stepped out of the carriage, and then took Ryan's arm.

"Mr. Lane? Welcome, the Duke is already waiting inside. Let me lead you." Mueller, who was wearing a formal dress, immediately spotted Lane in the crowd, and the Duke's courtiers quickly stepped forward to greet him.

Following Mueller into the banquet hall, the Duke walked over with a smile: "Ryan, you're just in time. There are several people here who want to get to know you! By the way, who is this person next to you?"

The Duke was smiling, but his eyes were full of indifference to Veronica, and his words confused Catherine who was following the two of them. The female apprentice thought why she couldn't understand the Duke's language?

Veronica's heart tightened. She knew that the Duke didn't like her. The Duke believed that as a witch, she was not qualified to be Ryan's female companion, so these words were to persuade her to quit!

Because the Duke spoke all in High Gothic, this extremely complex language exclusive to the great nobility was not understood by many in the Gloria Council!

In this situation, it would be a shame if Veronica, Ryan's female companion, didn't understand what Schultz was talking about.

Ryan signaled that it was time for her to show off.

Yes, even Teresa doesn't understand High Gothic, otherwise she would definitely be able to understand what the scriptures on the scabbard of Ryan's one-handed long sword say.

But Veronica does.

Why does Veronica know High Gothic, which even Teresa, a well-off Congresswoman from Garland, doesn't understand?

The reason is simple. Veronica's High Gothic was taught by Ryan. The witch has amazing talent. With Ryan's willingness to teach her, she actually spent several years of hard work mastering the language.

"Hello! Mr. Schultz, I am honored to introduce myself to you. I am Veronica Bernadotte, from the Garland Council. I am currently Ryan's companion and partner." Veronica said. The Duke showed impeccable etiquette (also taught by Ryan).

This woman actually knows Gothic? Schultz raised his eyebrows, and the Duke was slightly surprised.

In his opinion, witches are not worthy of Ryan, especially since Ryan is one of his own.

With his status, if he fails to make trouble for Veronica once, he will not trouble her again, so the Duke motioned to Ryan to follow him and meet some people.

After getting to know the major guilds and several big nobles and big businessmen, Ryan's eyes narrowed slightly.

It's the turn of the aesthetic meeting.

A beautiful woman stood in front of Ryan. She was about 1.65 meters tall, wearing a purple tube top evening dress. Her whole body was covered with rare treasures from all over the world, including pearls, emeralds, gems, Amber, even her fingernails are inlaid with diamonds. She has a beautiful face that eclipses all the women present. This face has the youthfulness of teenagers and the youth of twenties. Beautiful and mature in her thirties, frankly speaking, this is the most beautiful woman Ryan has ever seen, bar none.

She is like a poppy flower, attracting the attention of all men in the room.

"This is the hero of mankind? The White Wolf Knight Ryan from Nord? Well~ he is indeed an extraordinary person! Hello, my name is Anida Klausner, you can just call me Anida~"

"Hello, Ms. Aneda, my name is Ryan."

Anida Klausner, the president of the Weimei Club, smiled charmingly and stretched out her hand towards Ryan: "What a talented young man! Hoho~ There will be a grand performance at Weimei tomorrow night, and I will host it myself. , would our hero be interested in participating?"

After saying that, the female president smiled even more happily: "There is a 'reward'!"

Almost all the men present focused their attention on Ryan.

What would he do?

Let me explain here. The new witch who appears is not a temporary addition by me. I intend to complete the image of female spell casters in the world through two images of female spell casters, one from the aristocratic academic school and one from the civilian practical school. The comparison is very vivid. I hinted at the existence of Veronica in the previous article.
