Warhammer Throne

Willard is a middle-aged man in his fifties. He is very strong and has a thick beard. His sideburns are white. It seems that he is a little sluggish because of the quarrel with the druid. He sees Ryan. When he came, he stood up directly: "You are Ryan! I have seen you!'Bald' Norman really has a good son."

"Thank you, Mr. Willard." Ryan expressed his modesty appropriately, and Willard's gaze quickly shifted to Teresa: "What a charming lady, it is fortunate to know your name. NS?"

"Theresa, Teresa-Trovik, from the Garland Council." Lane introduced casually.

"That's it, hello." As Ryan expected, Willard's attitude became much colder when he heard of the Garland Council. The sorcerer's attitude was neither lukewarm nor warm, and she simply replied a polite remark: "Hello Mr. Willard."

"Please sit down, please sit down." Willard motioned for two people to sit down. Seeing Ryan made him feel better: "It's really been a long time since I saw you, Ryan, the last time I saw you was still with you When you were made a knight of the kingdom, right?"

"Yes, at that time Mr. Willard came to see my canonization ceremony, and I remember it too." Ryan nodded, and Willard also upgraded from a knight title to a lord. He was active on the front line for 20 to 30 years. Now, for such a battlefield veteran, Ryan pays respect.

"Time has turned, and years have passed. You have grown into a great knight, so what's the matter with me?" Willard asked casually, and the lord took out one from his cabinet. A bottle of wine and three glasses were opened and filled with two people: "Try it, this is wine from the southern part of the empire."

Teresa was a little uncomfortable, and Verald's behavior was a bit too direct. Before she said she wanted to drink, the lord had already pulled out the cork.

Upon seeing this, Ryan patted the hand of the sorcerer lightly, signaled her to go to the countryside and do as the customs, and then told Willard about Belt, indicating that he and the two were chasing the fallen hunter.

"That's it." Hearing that a powerful fallen hunter came to his territory, and then took the opportunity to escape from the sea, Willard frowned and explained: "As a lord, in order to protect the safety of the people, During this period of time, the sea will definitely be forbidden. As for the issue of going to sea, you understand, Ryan, the ownership of the ship in the port is in the hands of the owner, but the captain can choose to work. I can't control this."

The implication is that it is none of his business.

"I know this. What I want to ask is, can I ask the defenders and pier sailors in detail? And can you help me contact the owner of the ship that belt went to sea?" Ryan Of course, knowing that Villard would not be willing to take this responsibility, what he wanted was to obtain permission to investigate from the lord.

"So... Laurietz? Laurietz?" Willard hesitated for a while, and after seeing Ryan's serious expression, he shouted to the outside.

A soldier wearing a full set of chain mail, equipped with a standard long sword and kite shield, and wearing a cone helmet ran in: "What's the matter with your lord?"

"This is my guard officer, Laurits, what you want to investigate, Laurits will be there to assist you... Laurits, this is the famous kingdom knight, Mr. Lane, you have to assist him in the investigation. "Villard ordered.

"Yes!"

"Okay, go down, what do you want to investigate, Ryan, just find him, I won't participate." The lord opened an opening for Ryan, but did not give Ryan the investigation power from beginning to end, Teresa said directly when she saw this. : "Mr. Willard doesn't plan to do anything about this?"

"Hahaha~ what can I do? Beautiful Miss Trovik, I am old. When I was attending the canonization ceremony of Ryan, I could still go into the mountains by myself to hunt big bears. A few years have passed. I will go in again this year. I hunted bears in the deep mountains. I couldn’t stand the bears before I found them. I came back and rested for several days before recovering. Therefore, you still have to leave these things to your young people." Vilard laughed. , But looked younger: "Of course, if those Beastmen and Greenskins dared to invade my territory, then I would definitely go to battle and blow their **** myself."

"Mr. Willard is in his prime of life, how can he say that he is old? We will handle our affairs by ourselves. It is good that you can help." Ryan came out to make a round and let the topic stop here. He knew in his heart that Villard was right.

Normal human body functions begin to decline at the age of 30, and begin to decline rapidly at the age of 45. The advancement must be done early. Before the age of 30, it is the best time to hit the legendary level, and generally after the age of 45. , Basically it is impossible to advance to Legend.

Villard's strength is at the peak of the elite, so he declines more slowly than ordinary people. The lord in his fifties has indeed reached the age of aging. The feeling that the powerful abilities of the past are slowly leaving him. It's really uncomfortable.

Only like Ryan or Teresa, after entering the legendary level, the life span and physical fitness will be greatly improved. The normal life span of the legendary powerhouse is over one hundred and fifty years old, and they generally don’t have until after one hundred years of age. It will begin to age, and will not enter old age until one hundred and thirty years old.

Teresa's mother, Aurora Trovik, was on the mainland fifty or sixty years ago, and she looked like a thirty-year-old beautiful woman when Ryan saw her a few days ago. This is the reason.

When the business is finished, Willard obviously wants to talk to Ryandor: "Ryan, you are also twenty-four or five years old this year? Haven't you considered getting married? Would you like me to introduce you to a lady from the lord’s house? Don’t worry, She is absolutely beautiful."

Hearing this topic, Teresa also became interested. She pushed her black-framed glasses with purple butterfly patterns, intending to hear how Ryan answered.

"My time is still long. I don't want these things now. I think it's better to let the flow go." Ryan did not agree.

"Yes, Ryan, your advancement speed is too fast, now you have been married rashly, maybe it hurt you." Willard smiled proudly, then gave the beautiful female warlock a deep look, no longer say.

"You two might as well take a stroll in the city. I have already arranged a banquet. Please come here to join the banquet in the evening." After talking for a while, Willard said that he still had business to do and invited two people to attend the evening. banquet.

The two left the long house of the lord's house, and Ryan noticed Teresa's words but stopped: "What do you want to say?"

"Perhaps these local lords are not as bad as I thought." Teresa chuckled, showing her mature charm: "In my impression, those local nobles are always drunk and dreaming. They only get up from the woman's belly at noon every day. They always hide behind high walls. They don’t know how to do anything except for banquets and taxation. All property is handed over to the butler. A smart butler can always spend a few years turning the nobles’ money into themselves. Yes, this group of nobles is always the first to escape when faced with a battle, but when it is beneficial, they are the first to appear."

"Only those nobles who live in the capital and hold important positions will have some abilities."

"But when I met Mr. Willard today, I found that this is not the case. Despite his advanced age, he is still an excellent fighter, isn't he?" Teresa walked beside Ryan, black suede high heels. The boots stepped on the road and made a clicking sound.

"You are right, but you are not completely correct, Teresa, your thoughts may still stay before the establishment of the old empire." Ryan held the warhammer in his hand and motioned us to wander around first: "The laws and regulations of the new empire, be the superior. When there is a need to fight, all nobles must send troops to respond in proportion to the size of their territory, and those who do not send troops to respond will be severely punished."

"Furthermore, under the new laws and regulations, if the lord faces the attack of those evil forces but is unable to defend his territory before the arrival of reinforcements, then it means that he has lost the ownership of this territory. Can he continue to own this territory? The territory depends on the meaning of the council."

"In the past, the enfeoffment was mainly based on blood. As long as a spoiled waste has a noble bloodline, it can inherit a good fief, but since the restructuring of His Majesty Ludwig, the current enfeoffment is based on military merit, and it can only be achieved on the battlefield. Only military merits are eligible for fiefdom, so most of the current lords have been on the battlefield, and those who have been on the battlefield are naturally not too wasteful."

The two were strolling on the street. Today’s weather was good. The residents were all out for activities. A few bears and children were playing snowball fights. The adults took advantage of the fine weather to quickly work and wash clothes. There were many people dressed as mercenaries in the street. When they acted together, Ryan noticed that a piece of black cloth was wrapped around their arms with a black dagger painted on it.

"That seems to be the mark of the Grey Blade Mercenary Group, are these people here? It seems that there are indeed many caravans stranded here." Ryan said to Teresa, "Bilger, the head of the Grey Blade Mercenary Group. He is an elite rogue advanced dagger master. He likes to use a gray dagger the most. It is said that he has successfully assassinated a high elf before, and I don’t know if it is true."

Teresa frowned and did not speak. From the perspective of the caster, she certainly hated these rogues who liked sneak attacks. Many strong men did not die in a head-on confrontation but died on a simple backstab.

A group of people got together, not knowing what they were doing, Ryan came interested: "Let's take a look?"

"Not interested." The female warlock didn't like to join in the fun, she hated being crowded with a group of stinky men.

"Okay." Seeing that Teresa didn't want to go, Ryan led him to avoid the group of people. It seemed that the group of mercenaries had a dispute with the merchant's guard because of the pay issue. This kind of thing is commonplace. When everyone blocked the road, Ryan stretched out his hand and held Teresa. Two people squeezed through the crowd. After crossing two blocks, they found a small shop to sit down. This is a small restaurant that sells some To eat, Ryan ordered a grilled pork chop, two bowls of rice porridge and a pot of stew, and a simple lunch was done for ten copper coins.

The sorcerer picked up her own bowl and looked at the stew that was battered into a ball of stew. She hesitated for a long time and put down the bowl again: "Why do you choose this place for lunch? It's better to go back to the Butter Beer Hotel and eat it. Okay?"

"We didn't come out to play, Teresa." Ryan said in a deep voice, "Bert hasn't understood yet. We can't be sure whether he has really gone to Marienburg. What if it's a scam? What if Belt just slapped a shot, then found a place to hide it, and waited for us to go out to sea recklessly? You know, there are not many legendary powerhouses in the Nord Kingdom, without you and me, no more Considering the Sky Castle, there are only 20 or 30 legendary powerhouses in Nord, and many of them can't move, especially when the northern barbarians gather on a large scale."

Speaking of the fallen hunter, Teresa also got serious: "You mean, Belt may not have left Nord?"

"It seems that I don’t know at the moment. Maybe he is gone, maybe not, but this is not the reason for us to relax. If it is confirmed that he has left, I will cook a table for you if he cannot go to sea for a short time. No problem, do you understand what I mean?"

"Oh roar? So you are ordering me? I don't need you to tell me what to do, dear Lane, I understand the priorities." The female warlock raised her head, her eyes full of provocations: "Or you think you Is it my boss?"

"Do you want to be better? I'll be with you at any time." Ryan looked at the dissatisfied look of the female warlock amused.

"Tsk, Bibibi... Hmm! Let go of me!" As soon as the voice fell, the kingdom knights pressed the female warlock's two arms to the table with his hands, no matter how hard she struggled, she couldn't get rid of it like steel. With a generally strong shackle, after working hard for five minutes and her entire face turned red, the female warlock murmured: "Don't you know how to be gentle with a lady? Fortunately, you still claim to be a gentleman."

"Of course I am a gentleman, please, beautiful lady, after lunch, let's go to the dock to have a look." Ryan let her go.

Sometimes it's fun to bully this mature elder sister specifically, Ryan thought with evil interest in his heart.

Lunch was just a small episode. At the end of the episode, an unexpected guest suddenly appeared in front of the two people.

This uninvited guest has a very handsome face, smooth long hair, slightly pointed ears, in the eyes of humans, he looks like an elf, but Ryan has seen a real elf, and he knows that if he looks like an elf in the eyes of an elf Humanity.

This is a half-elf.

It was the half-elf I met at the gate of the city before.

"Are you the Sledgehammer Ryan? Hello, introduce yourself. My name is Estelle. I come from the San Lorenzo Forest. I still remember that five years ago, you took part in the game against the Beastmen by the Obre River. Is the encirclement and suppression of the war gang?" The half-elf noticed that Ryan's hand was placed on the warhammer, so he said that he was not malicious, but his tone was quite arrogant.

Ryan's eyes rolled, and he remembered that he had indeed participated in that battle: "Yes, I do remember that a team of half-elf rangers joined Nord's team and made a lot of contributions to that battle. What is it? What are you doing?"

"Can you move further and discuss it in detail?"

"Just say it here."
