The Sun King's Evidence

Facing the envious and jealous eyes of all the men present, Ryan seemed to think for a moment, then shook his head slightly. He stretched out his hand to hold Veronica in his arms, and then said with a smile: "I have my female companion, Agnie." Ms. Da, I have a date with her tomorrow night, so I’m sorry.”

"That's really... a pity~" Anida smiled sweetly: "Mr. Lane, you are always welcome to be a guest at the Aesthetic Society. I also want to see the difference between the warriors of the north and the men of the south. "

This man knows how to look! The men in the venue saw Ryan rejecting it. On the one hand, they felt that Ryan was sensible, and on the other hand, they felt that there was something wrong with Ryan's brain. This man would actually refuse the personal invitation of the president of the Aesthetic Society?

Is this an opportunity that many men can’t get even if they spend a lot of money?

After meeting around, Schultz found a secluded place and signaled that he wanted to chat with Ryan alone. Veronica saw this and took her apprentice to find a place to wait outside.

A secluded balcony.

"It's hard to imagine that you actually rejected Anida's invitation." The Grand Duke of Marienburg stood beside Ryan with a smile, with a strange light shining in his eyes: "But I'm not surprised, you know, we all hate this It’s always disgusting to see someone like this and spread hedonism, but when half the parliament is falling for her, I can’t say anything.”

"She always has a putrid smell on her body, just like..." Ryan gestured a symbol in the air: "That believer."

"Are you sure?" Schultz's eyes widened slightly.

"You know what I am, you know that I am most sensitive to that kind of breath." Ryan spread his hands.

"Then I have to ask, do you have any mission in this world?" Schultz possessed him and whispered: "Inquisition? State religion? Defense Force? Navy? Or Astartes? Look at your logo. Are you supposed to be an Astartes?"

"Only because I am His son." Ryan also replied quietly.

Schulz's heart jumped like an electric shock, and his pupils were at their maximum. The Archduke of Marienburg opened his eyes and looked at Ryan carefully for a long time. He shook his head wildly: "Impossible! This is absolutely impossible!!! "

"Nothing is impossible." Ryan stretched out his hand, and a golden double-headed eagle engraved appeared in the center of the palm. This was left to him by the emperor and was his most powerful proof of identity.

Seeing the mark with endless power, Schulz no longer had any doubts. If it weren't for the emperor's will, he would not appear here, so he asked carefully: "Then who are you..."

"neither."

"Impossible, there are only twenty primarchs!"

“Can’t He make something new?”

Schulz's surprise became more and more serious, and the Archduke of Marienburg was sweating on his forehead. Finally, he stretched out his hand and quietly made a sign of "twenty-one."

Ryan nodded now.

"I understand, great Son of God, just go ahead and do whatever you want. I will provide you with support." Schultz's face showed almost neurotic enthusiasm and admiration, and the Grand Duke looked at Ryan's eyes. As if wanting to eat him: "Don't worry, the House of Lords is under my control."

"For Your Majesty! For Holy Terra!"

"For father!"

Fifteen minutes later, after the secret discussion was over, Ryan and Schultz walked out with smiles on their faces, and then shook hands and said, "Lane, there are many other fun and delicious things here. You can go and look around. I There’s something else.”

"Okay." Ryan said goodbye to the Grand Duke of Marienburg and came out. He saw Veronica talking to a tall demon hunter. Seeing Ryan coming, Veronica walked over with a smile and took Ryan's arm: "Lian , Vice President Jacob is here.”

The visitor was nearly two meters tall, wearing a long hood and a wide-brimmed hat. His face was covered with scars. The muscular demon hunter said hello to Ryan: "Hello Ryan, I'm here to track Belt. "

Jacob is a veteran demon hunting master who was earlier than Belt. He is much older and has been on fewer missions in recent years.

"Is the problem already so serious?" Ryan saw the vice president of the Demon Hunter Guild appeared, and the man's face became very serious. He motioned for several people to move towards a small room.

Generally, in such large-scale banquets, the organizers will provide a large number of small rooms. These small rooms have various uses...discussing things is also one of them. However, when several people searched for several rooms, they all found that there were hangings on the door of the room. He read the "Do Not Disturb" sign, and then there was a strange sound coming from inside.

In the end, the four of them could only find a corner of the banquet. The tall Jacob found a place to sit down, and then he grabbed the food with his hands and ate it. The high-end wine was like drinking juice in the hands of the witcher. Same thing, cup after cup.

Many nobles and businessmen frowned when they saw the way Jacob attended the banquet. However, seeing that the protagonist of the banquet, Ryan and his female companion, were chatting with Jacob, they couldn't say anything, and the demon hunter The master's body is full of bloody and vicious aura, and he doesn't look easy to mess with.

Banquets are inherently a medium. The nobles and merchants of the world's largest trade center need a reason to gather everyone together. Before communicating and whispering, maybe a new trading partner will be born, or a transaction worth hundreds of dollars will be made. The transaction intention of thousands of gold coins was completed.

Ryan fetched red wine and filled it with Veronica and her female apprentice. Catherine's little face was full of excitement. The female apprentice was very, very happy to have the opportunity to attend such a large banquet, while Veronica was very excited. Gently adjusting her skirt, while telling her little apprentice not to lose her composure, she just listened quietly to the exchange between Ryan and Jacob. She looked like a beautiful vase, but the light kept flashing in her eyes. It shows that she is thinking a lot, but she just doesn't speak.

This is very interesting. Ryan thought to himself that Theresa was always eager to show off when she attended the banquet, but Veronica was more silent. But after the banquet, Veronica always gained more, thinking of Here, he suddenly understood a series of Theresa's performances during the journey, because there was a witch with no background who was better than him in many aspects. The pressure was really great, so much so that Theresa's behavior was... Change it.

The two sides exchanged existing information.

"I have a very important piece of information to tell you, Ryan. During Belt's defection, he seemed to have changed his mind." The Demon Hunter Vice-President's voice was hoarse: "We all know that when Belt defected, he Those who believe in the Lord of Plagues.”

"But from the signs I got, it seems that Belt has changed his faith. He has switched to believing in the Blood God. I don't know why he changed his faith, but this may be good news for us... or it may be bad news. information."

"That's good news!" Ryan touched his chin: "This means that Belt has incurred the hatred of the Plague Lord, and at least one force will not help him."

Yes, the four gods of chaos are not as monolithic as many people think. On the contrary, the internal fighting and war between the four gods of chaos are never-ending. Their invasion of the main material world is more like their fun and snacks after dinner. .

In the chaotic space of the subspace, the demons belonging to the four gods will engage in eternal bloody battles. The four gods hate each other. They will devote all their troops to a bloody battle for any piece of land or any small excuse. Since the demons will not truly die, so The bloody battle will never stop.

Only in rare cases, the four gods of chaos will temporarily reach an agreement and send a small force to jointly invade the main material world. For example, there is the birth of the eternal god of chaos, or for example, his father is trying to spread science and technology in the main material universe. Enlightened thinking completely eradicates the energy source of Chaos. Even so, the main focus of the Four Chaos Gods is on the internal fighting in the Chaos Realm.

(Even under such circumstances, the intelligent creatures in this world must try their best to have a chance of survival.)

Jacob drank heavily and ate meat. The vice-president of the Demon Hunter came from the Kislev Kingdom in the northernmost part of the continent. That country was almost bordering the Chaos Wasteland. Every time Chaos invaded, this country was the first to suffer. Yes, but their home was rebuilt again and again, and they still united under the banner of the bear god Esun, fighting against Chaos and fighting to the death.

"I asked the lady, and he told me that Belt is in Marienburg, and it is located in the place closest to chaos in Marienburg." Ryan frowned. The prophecy of the Lake Fairy was indeed useful, but the specifics were a bit vague. Ryan still I plan to ask the master demon hunter for advice. Jacob is over a hundred years old, and his experience is far longer than mine.

The master demon hunter wiped the corner of his mouth, and the soup splashed everywhere. Many noble ladies subconsciously raised their skirts, but Ryan remained unmoved. He motioned for Jacob to continue.

"It is true that as you said, Belt should indeed still be in Marienburg, because the news from our side also shows that he is still in Marienburg." Jacob is really a bit old, he said When he came, he couldn't stop food from occasionally flowing from the corner of his mouth: "A demon hunter used visceral divination to determine his location, but that demon hunter also paid a huge price."

Prophecy and divination both require an equal price. Among them, prophecy of chaotic creatures is especially the most dangerous. Many prophets and diviners can easily be blinded or corrupted by Chaos in the process.

"For now, the three places are the most suspicious. The first is the Arena. Marienburg's Arena is famous for being huge and containing everything. A large number of gladiators and various strange creatures are stranded in the Arena, especially Bell. Te is also a believer of the Blood God, so it’s not surprising that he would hide in the arena.” The demon hunter coughed a few times and first named the first possible place.

"Secondly, Marienburg is densely populated and extremely crowded, but this city has countless underground tunnels and various secret passages connecting the outside. It is said that there are even huge residential areas and the existence of dark elves in the underground tunnels. Belt It’s possible to hide in here.”

"Finally... I always feel that there is something wrong with that woman." Jacob looked up, and Ryan followed his gaze and found Anida, the president of the Aesthetic Society, who was chatting happily with several nobles.

"In this case, Veronica and I will go investigate the arena and the Aesthetic Society. I'll leave the underground tunnel to you, Vice President Jacob." Ryan thought about the division of labor. His identity is more suitable. In dealing with the upper class society, demon hunters are more suitable to negotiate with common people and guilds.

"Okay, I will go with my boys to find Belt's whereabouts." Jacob suddenly hesitated, and then whispered: "The action is going to speed up, Ryan, I understand that you have been dragged down because of the war. The steps have slowed down, but...it seems that some other master demon hunters have also started to become weird..."

"I understand." Ryan could sense that the growing black shadow was approaching the continent.

Jacob left. This kind of banquet itself did not welcome a demon hunter who was full of blood. Ryan was still sitting in the corner thinking, but an uninvited guest immediately interrupted him: "Oh! Mr. Ryan! Can you be here? What a blessing to meet you!”

It's Oliver, the businessman we worked with before!

This businessman from the empire was dressed in jewels. His hands and body were covered with as many jewels as possible, and he was so sparkly that Veronica pursed her lips and snickered.

"Haha~ Hello, Mr. Oliver, is everything going well?" Ryan smiled.

"What kind of success is that? The goods are gone and the guard is dead, but luckily, I still managed to save my life, hahahaha!" Oliver proudly showed off his magic ring and big belly: "Who is this? "

"I am Veronica Bernadotte, from the Gloria Council. I am Ryan's female companion. Hello Mr. Oliver, this is my apprentice." Veronica smiled sweetly when she saw that she was Ryan's old friend. , showing the bright temperament.

"Oh oh oh! Hello, hello!" Oliver thought to himself, why did Ryan change his side?

However, this witch is not as arrogant as the sorceress at all. Instead, she smiles sweetly and is full of etiquette and respect. Especially her appearance is very sweet, which makes people like her instantly.

Oliver then sat down and chatted with Ryan for a while. This upstart was very popular right now, and there were countless benefits to being able to establish a relationship with him. Oliver could be considered a big businessman in Nord, but he was just a little grasshopper in Marienburg. Why? He was jumping around without making much noise. He was able to attend this banquet because the Grand Duke of Marienburg learned that he had an old relationship with Ryan, so he specially invited him.

During this process, Veronica still didn't say a word. She just held Ryan's arm and smiled without saying a word. Oliver thought to himself that this woman was not very good. She seemed to be just a beautiful vase and Ryan's temporary bed partner. .

Thinking of this, Oliver's tone and face couldn't help but feel a little contemptuous of this woman. Veronica felt it, but the woman didn't express it and continued to smile. Instead, her little apprentice glared at Oliver.

"By the way, Mr. Lane, how was it when you met President Anida earlier? She is really a beauty, isn't she? She is known as the Rose of Marienburg, the Flower of the Empire!" The topic quickly shifted to strange things. In the direction, Oliver thought that this woman was just a vase anyway, so he teased Ryan: "That's Anida Klausner's invitation. It's hard to get, but you didn't agree?"

"Why do I have to agree?" Ryan held up the wine glass, and the bright red wine swirled in the goblet following the man's movements: "I have my female companion, and I'm not interested in that kind of carnival."

"Oh, you are so! There's no harm in giving it a try! Mr. Lane, just tell me, what is President Anida's appearance like? Speak rationally, neutrally, and objectively~" Oliver felt sad for Lane's ignorance. It seemed that attending the banquet of the Aesthetic Society at Aneda's invitation was a waste of money. He really didn't understand why Ryan refused.

"I admit that President Anida's appearance is the most beautiful among all the women I have ever seen, bar none... Well!" Ryan was saying calmly, but a burning pain suddenly came from the Holy Grail engraving on his chest. .

Then an annoyed voice sounded in Ryan's heart: "Lian, my champion, I will give you another chance. Who is the most beautiful woman you have ever seen?"

WTF? ? ?

twenty one? nonexistent!
