The next awarding ceremony has nothing to do with the king. The lake **** witch under the possession of the fairy in the lake arranged the whole process. In the eyes of countless people, she personally pinned the second-class iris medal to Ryan's. Chest.

Then, the goddess's divine power surged, and golden wings appeared on the holy grail knight badge on Ryan's chest, which was the proof of promotion to knight commander.

The ceremony continued. Due to the possession of the fairy in the lake, this originally extremely grand ceremony was even more sacred and mysterious.

Richard also knelt down with all the knights. At this juncture, the mission knight did not look like a king at all. On the contrary, his position was to be behind the holy grail knights.

Failure to become a holy grail knight has always been a pain in his heart. The Duke of Leangourang has conducted three holy grail trials. He put down his lance, mounted a horse, and brought luggage, just like all knights who longed for the holy grail. He also tried, walking as far as the empire.

For various reasons, he did not succeed after all.

And now, the fairy in the lake tells him clearly in this way: I am not satisfied with your handling of this matter!

But what can he do? Watching the king's power fall? Can the duke in his own country be able to gesticulate in his throne room?

In this kingdom, no one can disobey the lady's will, and Richard can only kneel to the ground.

After a complete and serious honoring ceremony, the fairy in the lake not only did not release her possession, on the contrary, she stayed with great interest and watched Ryan's performance on the spot.

Riding, swordsmanship, and spear riding are three basic skills that belong to knights. A knight must show his strength in line with it.

In the eyes of everyone, Ryan stepped on his pure-blood elf warhorse and took the lance from the hand of the rebel.

Under the knight's skilful training, the pure-blood elf warhorse Song Cone and the master's mind were connected, one by one, crossing various obstacles, rushing straight towards the target.

Before the door of the palace, there was already a string of hoops lined up.

Ryan is not a person who often uses a lance, but the champion of the fairy in the lake has never disappointed the goddess. The lance flashed, tearing the air, and there were already two hoops hung on the lance.

Then there are three, five, eight.

When the charge was over, the horse hoof was raised, and Ryan's lance was covered with twelve iron rings.

The Chosen Champion conquered all the knights in the palace with his superb skills.

The training of riding a lance has always been a very, very difficult training. A qualified knight has to learn to use a lance from the age of eleven or twelve. This kind of long-handled weapon with a length of two to three meters is no matter if it is in cloth. Letania and the Empire are the constant first choices of the knights, but it is also a very difficult task to master it proficiently. In the full speed of the war horse, the knight used this long-handled weapon with a coin-sized gun. Sharp hits the weak points of the enemy's armor accurately. It is very difficult to do without years of training.

Because of this, training a good knight is a long process, which requires a lot of manpower and material resources and several years of time. Once trained, the group charge of the knights becomes a treasure to control the war situation and win. .

There were cheers in the palace, but the fairy in the lake was not satisfied. Any holy grail knight can do this level of riding and spear skills.

"Chang!" The fairy in the lake drew out her short sword.

"Madam?" The behavior of the fairy in the lake caused tension and gaze among the holy grail knights around. The fairy in the lake smiled softly and did not give instructions. Instead, she gently rolled up her long golden hair.

The dagger was held by the goddess, and a strand of hair was cut by the lake fairy using the dagger, and then in everyone's eyes, the lake fairy gently braided her hair into a small hair circle.

The diameter of this hair ring was only about five centimeters. The fairy in the lake didn't say a word. She stretched out her Qianqianyu hand and threw the hair ring from the stand.

The golden hair ring flew out of the stands in the cool autumn air, and the eyes of countless knights followed the trajectory of the hair ring.

Those eyes are fanatical, longing, and full of the lifelong expectations of countless knights. If it weren't for Ryan's performance, maybe a large number of young knights would frantically scramble for this hair ring, which is the blessing of the goddess!

"Drive!" No one understands the meaning of the fairy in the lake better than Ryan. After the fairy in the lake made this action, the champion of the selection immediately urged the horse to move forward. The horse charged again.

The lance was held high, until it gradually leveled, a silver-gray electric light whizzed past the stands, raising countless dust.

The fairy in the lake was always indifferent, and at the same time she even had free time to talk to Mogiana: "Mogiana, was the experience last night pleasant?"

"My lady!" The lake **** witch's body was taken over by the lake fairy, but her consciousness was still sober. Encountering this problem made her very embarrassed: "I have obeyed your oracle."

"Ryan's existence is an alien. Even I can't eliminate many terrible corruptions and curses, but he has a way." The fairy in the lake gradually became serious: "He helped you dispel the curse?"

"No, he said he was not strong enough, but he put a psionic seal on my body, allowing me to avoid the curse from further erosion on me." Morgiana's expression is extremely respectful: "His psionic seal The light has purified the filth that bothered me, and I feel much better now."

"There is no doubt that he is the silver horse. We need his power, Morgiana, you are my spokesperson, he is my choice, I hope you can get along well." The fairy in the lake went down again. An oracle: "Perhaps, the way to save this country will fall on him."

"Understood, my lady." Mojianna has never heard such a clear oracle, and has never been possessed for so long. The lake **** witch feels very strange in her heart, but as the spokesperson of the lake fairy And a devout believer, Morjana will not test the thoughts and power of the fairy in the lake, she will only obey.

At this moment, the huge noise drew the attention of the fairy in the lake back to the field.

Her chosen champion came to her with a smile on his face.

On the tip of the lance, a golden hair circle was shining with moving light.

The sacred ceremony ended in the mountain whistling tsunami.

The next day, the Lake God Witch Mogiana, Duke Winford, and Lane will lead their remaining army back to their territory to prepare for the winter.

Ryan once again showed his noble side. He spent all the 1,500 gold crowns he had received, and the money would be used as a pension for the soldiers who died in battle.

With just fifty pairs of brand-new sergeant armor, Ryan and the others embarked on their way home.

At this time, the time has come to the beginning of October. When everyone returns to the Duchy of Winford, it is already late autumn. In a few weeks, Brittany will have its first heavy snowfall.

Also accompanied by Ryan and others is Boderek, Duke of Poldero. The champion of Poseidon had a lot of communication with everyone on the road. This is a duke with a strong personality and tolerant of everything like the sea, but at the same time He is also as cold as the sea.

In the golden field, the lake **** witch Mogiana sits sideways on the unicorn "Silfan", Ryan is riding beside her, and at the same time the Duke of Francois and the Duke of Bodric, These four people with the highest status are walking together.

As the spokesperson of the Fairy in the Lake, Morjana has never had a good temper. In other words, the Witch of the Lake God has always been an unpredictable person. She is the great wizard of the sky and life. Usually unpredictable, often appear in Brittany, punish those evil wizards or rogue knights who do not abide by the morality of knights, secretly help the oppressed serfs and the mission knights who are undergoing the Holy Grail trial.

And she usually shut herself in a marsh wizard tower near the Fairy Lake in the Principality of Kakarsong, and no one knew what she was doing in the tower.

There is a very interesting story about the witch of the lake god: she has a hobby, she will turn the object of punishment into a frog, such as a wizard who provokes her, or a rogue knight who fails and is punished. Therefore, the serf of Breton Girls often like to play a game "Kissing the Frog", that is, looking for frogs from ponds and swamps, and kiss them when they see them, hoping to lift the curse of the lake **** and witch through the girl's kiss, thereby changing their destiny.

I don't know if it is true or not. Ryan is not interested in trying it anyway.

"We have passed the Principality of Lyonasse, and then we will go south to pass Connaught." François approached from behind riding a war horse: "The cursed place Moussilon."

"The Scarlet Duke is fairly honest recently, and the Rangers haven't noticed his new movement." Boderek, Duke of Poldero, looks probably in his forties, and his true age is already in his eighties. Even if measured by a legendary powerhouse, he has entered middle age. In recent years, it has been reported that the Duke himself wants to put aside his worldly affairs and embark on the path of the Holy Grail. However, the frequent raids of the dark elf pirates, the vampires in the domain The haunts and the army of the undead knights of the Northern Scarlet Duke made him incapable of being cloned.

Morgiana's face was cold, she just nodded.

Moussilon Castle is located at the mouth of the Grismerry River. The birthplace of this river is the Ardennes Forest. The former small and prosperous Duke of Connaught has now become the world of the undead. The entire castle seems to be gradually changing. Submerged by the swamp, but it seems that because of some special spells or repeated caps, the castle always stands at the mouth of the river.

Even if I no longer want to admit that Brittany has actually lost this port city, the knights did not work hard after the Dol Tower incident. The Blood Duke could be defeated again and again, but the knights could not capture Mu. Silom.

Ryan once asked why, François smiled bitterly and told him: "When you face a city wall that is 60 meters high and 20 meters wide, it is difficult for you to have the idea of ​​capturing it. Ryan, remember , The undead does not need to consider manpower and material resources."

"So that's it." Ryan understood.

The undead don’t need to consider manpower and material resources. These sleepless creatures can cap the castle indefinitely. The knights themselves lack the ability to siege the city. Brittany is a country that has a relationship with dwarves and no artillery. Such a strong city, the knights can only return without success.

"Speaking of which, when did the Blood Duke appear and why did he get such a title? Why would he claim to be one of the heirs to the throne of Bretania?" If you don't understand, ask, as Ryan is completely Qualified to ask questions.

The Lake God Witch Mogiana turned her head and glanced at Ryan, her emerald eyes flashed brightly: "The real name of the Red Duke has been sealed by the lady, but in any case, he is a genuine Duke of Aquitaine. ."

Both Duke François and Boderek were silent. Obviously they knew the story, but the Lake God Witch was more suitable as the person to tell.

"The Duke of Aquitaine? I have never heard of this title." Ryan asked curiously.

"The title of the Duke of Aquitaine existed when Brittany was founded. The first Duke of Aquitaine was a close comrade-in-arms of Arthur, the Knight of the Holy Grail, Fredmond." Mogiana nodded, and she continued: "Things are going to happen. Speaking about 500 years ago, do you know the Chiyan Expedition?"

"Of course!" Ryan nodded.

The Chiyan Expedition is a familiar story for knights.

About five hundred years ago, Bretania and the Empire were attacked by a country called Arabi that faces the southwest across the sea. The cavalry from the Arabi Desert slaughtered civilians along the way, arousing public outrage throughout the old world. .

For the sake of avoiding infighting and preserving strength, the tacit understanding of war between humans is that they never slaughter civilians, and rarely kill nobles, and generally lock them up for ransom.

The Empire and Brittany formed an army of knights to sweep the Arab invading army, and launched a majestic expedition under the call of the king of knights and the emperor. There were dozens of knights and tens of thousands of knights participated in this Field expedition.

The knights fought across the sea, and the desert civilization was completely destroyed. The expeditionary army returned to their hometown with countless gold and trophies. At the same time, they also brought back the head of Arab King Jafar and the endless glory.

"The Red Duke is the last Duke of Aquitaine. He responded to the lady's call to participate in this war." Seeing that Ryan knew about the Chiyan Expedition, Morjana directly omitted a part: "But on the way back, this The duke fell ill."

"The Duke was wounded in the desert, became seriously ill again, had a high fever, and fell into a complete coma, but he persisted stubbornly until he returned to Britania before passing away in his bedroom."

"A grand funeral tells of the Duke's departure, but everything is not over. A mysterious undead knight appeared in his territory."

"On a rainy night three days later, the Scarlet Duke was resurrected. He was no longer a noble knight who fought for the lady, but became a detestable undead. In the next few hours, he slaughtered his family. Together with the family knights, they resurrected them and formed their own army of the undead, declaring that the Principality of Aquitaine has become the world of the undead. The serfs called him the Blood Red Duke based on his **** appearance."

"So that's the case." Ryan expressed his understanding, and then he motioned to Morgiana to continue, while François and Boderek both sighed slightly.

"The warned knight king led an army to defeat the Scarlet Duke, and the undead fell apart. Under the auspices of the lady and the witch of the lake god, the Scarlet Duke was sealed, the castle of Aquitaine was razed to the ground, and the surrounding soil also used the Holy Grail. The salt blessed by the knights was ploughed. Due to the fact that the Aquitaine family fell and annihilated, the title of this duke was cancelled. The land of the Duchy of Aquitaine was replaced by the Duchy of Polderro, Duchy of Berleón, and Barstow. The Principality of Nirvana is divided equally."

"Originally, all of this was over, but in the Dol Tower incident two hundred and eighty years ago, the witch of the lake **** of that generation was imprisoned, and the evil wizard took the opportunity to release the sealed Duke of Blood. He was defeated again, but This time the knights failed to catch him, so this situation has continued to this day." Mogiana slowly shook his head: "To this day, the Blood Duke still claims to be the Duke of Aquitaine, competing for the throne of knights. Qualifications."

"The existence of the Scarlet Duke is like planting a cancer in the kingdom. We have to arrange for rangers to patrol and establish outposts near the Duke of Connaught. This constrains a large amount of military power in the kingdom." Sova nodded: "Every year a large number of serfs who cannot survive escape into Connaught, any fugitive serfs can get asylum in that place and find a job to support their families. Therefore, in recent years, Moussilon’s economic and Instead, the population is showing a trend of prosperity."

Ryan understands, understands thoroughly.

It seems that the Breton knights were unable to conquer the castle of Moussilon, but in fact, the essential reason for the Scarlet Duke to make trouble was the gradual collapse of the serf system.

The Knight Kingdom is declining, and a greater crisis is approaching. He must not be triumphant because of the small victory in front of him. There is still a lot to do for Ryan.

At the same time, the roof of the world, the sky fort, and the headquarters of the Garland Council.

It was another boring winter night. The Skydome Castle was located at an altitude of one thousand meters. It was covered by snow and ice most of the time. It is said that Speaker Margarita decided to set up the headquarters of the Garland Council here because the cold weather is conducive to restraint. The violent magic elements in the female casters.

This is also the 28th year that Teresa Trovik has spent in the Sky Fortress.

After completing an undifficult but very tedious task of inspecting the seals of the castle, Congresswoman Garland finally returned to the wizard tower owned by herself and her mother. The wizard felt a little tired, and she opened her room. Throwing the leather boots at the door and hanging the coat on the hanger, Teresa lazily fell onto the sofa in the room.

Just a few minutes after "dongdongdong", the door of her room was knocked: "Miss?"

"What's the matter?" The sorcerer felt irritated. Since traveling with Ryan, her temper is a little better, at least she won't be angry with the apprentice and the servant casually.

"You have a letter." The apprentice witch knew that his mentor had a bad temper, or that few of the congresswomen Garland had a good temper: "Can I come in?"

"Um!"

So the door was opened.

"I don't want to watch it now, you can put it on the table for me!" Teresa waved her hand and signaled the apprentice to put things away and go out.

"But this is an express confidential letter from Brittany, famously from Baron Ryan Macado, the Knight of the Holy Grail." The apprentice witch first put the letter on the table carefully, seeing that her councillor did not want to read it, so she was weak. To add a sentence.

Hearing the words Ryan, Teresa turned over from the sofa and sat up.

"Give it to me! Now!"

The sorcerer is out! Will the witch be far away?
