Warhammer Throne

After asking the boss, the boss still thinks that the expedition knight is more image. After all, it is an expedition for the Holy Grail, so it will be called the expedition knight in the future.

In the hall of the baron’s castle, a handsome knight is indulging and singing. He has long brown wavy hair. He is wearing heavy armor and a shield behind his back. The spear and sword are placed at the door. In front of everyone, the knight sang loudly, his beautiful singing voice and touching story made people unforgettable for a long time.

Not far from the knight, a juggler dressed in a clown is making various performances following the knight’s singing. He put himself in a red and yellow funny five-pointed star suit, holding a horse in one hand. The puppet, holding a spear puppet in one hand, is doing various antics in front of everyone.

Even if it rained lightly outside the castle, the fiery atmosphere in the hall was not affected at all.

The visitor was the famous knight and bard, Tristan, an expedition knight from the Principality of Poldero. Ryan met him when he went to Poldero and his party before.

Tristan is a famous knight famous in Brittany. His singing is blessed by the fairies in the lake. He is well-known throughout the kingdom. He was invited to tour the kingdom and all the dukes welcomed him. Let him show his singing voice in his castle hall. After traveling the entire kingdom, Tristan finally decided to lay down all his secular duties. In order to pursue the Holy Grail, he became an expedition knight.

Normally, the expeditionary knight has always been alone and dedicated his life to chasing the Holy Grail, but Tristan and his jester Jules are really like brothers, so he took the jester, the master and servant together Embarked on the road of the Holy Grail.

Today Tristan sings the song of the Holy Grail. This song tells the legend and glory of the Holy Grail. Starting from the first knight king Arthur, how many knights fought **** battles in the name of ladies, and how many knights buried their bones in order to fight evil. On the battlefield, only those knights who stayed on the battlefield, and only those knights who have truly proven martial arts and virtues, have the opportunity to see the Holy Grail.

Except for Ryan, everyone's faces are envy, even Tristan himself who is singing.

The ballad ended and the audience was full of applause. The Baron and his subordinates all gave warm applause. Tristan stroked his chest with one hand and extended a knightly salute to everyone present.

"Please take a seat, Mr. Tristan!" Ryan motioned for Tristan to take his seat.

The expedition knight and his jester did not refuse. Katzenberg had already arranged a sumptuous meal of beef and goose, as well as a large amount of fish and vegetables. The big iron pot was hung on the hook and iron chain, under the bottom of the pot. It is a fire, and the iron chain can be pulled up or down to adjust the temperature. The boiled meat is lifted out of the pot by an iron hook. This iron hook is a meat fork with a wooden handle on the side, and a long-handled slotted spoon is used to stir the soup.

After a long expedition, Tristan and his jester are indeed starving. They eat and drink like two hungry wolves. They eat more than four times that of normal people. They are big and delicious. He swallowed beef with black pepper, and drank a few mouthfuls of wine.

Ryan smiled more when he saw this.

If this is the celestial dynasty of his previous life, it would be very rude for the guests to eat like this.

But for this world, the ability of a knight to eat is a performance of martial valor and a symbol of strength.

"Thank you very much, Lord Ryan, you are truly a glorious holy grail knight!" Tristan eased after a big meal. He put down the silver knife and fork and wiped his mouth with a towel: "Thank you. Tristan will remember your hospitality."

Ryan nodded, and entertaining the expedition knights passing through the territory is something that all lords in Bretania like to do, because it means that once expedition knights become holy grail knights, they can forge enough friendship.

"My Lord Baron, I brought two news this time." Tristan split his brown hair to the sides with his hands, his handsome face was a bit serious: "I have said before about the rebellion in the Duchy of Berleón. But I want to emphasize that this rebellion is very unusual. The rebels have gathered in Gaius. The number has reached more than two thousand. They have formed an alliance with the Count of Tobalo of Estalia to fight theo together. Duke Doric and his army."

"This time the leader of the rebel army is called Sterling. He became rich overnight because he resisted taxes and killed Theodoric tax collector. Soon those serfs who could not survive followed him and launched a rebellion. Now There is a lot of noise and the situation is a bit unstable." Tristan continued: "Your Excellency, your territory is adjacent to the Duchy of Berleon. Because of your prestige, the rebels may not dare to attack your territory, but you Still need to be careful. Your Excellency Boderick asked me to tell you that Your Excellency Theodoric might ask you to borrow money for food."

As soon as he heard that he might be borrowed money for grain, Ryan’s tax officer Gasparton and butler Katzenberg frowned. Ryan felt very calm, so he continued: “Then second news. what is it then?"

"The second news is that Lord Boderek learned from Mr. Ismail that the king is very dissatisfied with your taking in dwarves and elves. He hopes that you can let go of the wood elves trade and share the technology of dwarves at the same time. Come out.” Tristan continued: “Also, Dalheide, Duke of Lyonasse, suggested that your talent lies not in governing the territory, but in leading the army. The king plans to organize an expeditionary army to explore Nicohara in the south. In the desert, Duke Dalhead thinks you are a suitable general for the expeditionary army."

"I see, is there anything else?" Ryan remained silent after listening, his eyes narrowed and his voice was very gentle.

"Uh, Lord Ryan, I have an unrelenting request." Tristan hesitated for a while, then said with some temptation: "I want to visit the lady's tower."

It's no secret that there is a lady's tower in Ryan's territory. Recently, many expedition knights have come for this reason.

"Yes, but it doesn't depend on me whether the lady sees you." Ryan nodded.

Ten minutes later, Ryan stood on the high tower of the Baron’s Castle, looking at Tristan, who was kneeling before the thick fog and praying, lost in thought.

Behind him came the sound of high heels hitting the ground. Veronica appeared behind Ryan wearing a white wolf wool coat and a two-sleeve stitching dress. She took Ryan’s hand from behind: "Lyan, you want I know that you cannot accept the appointment of the expeditionary army. The size of your territory is due to your personal prestige and ability."

Ryan nodded.

Sending him to the desert expedition is a typical rise and fall. Perhaps he can also be promoted to earl by becoming a general of the expeditionary army, but this is tantamount to exile and dispatch.

Count the stars in the desert?

This is not what he wants.

Ryan was not afraid of the king's order at all. Behind him stood the fairy in the lake. From the standpoint of the fairy in the lake, he would never agree that Richard or Dalheide sent him to the desert to count the stars. In this country, even a king. The power of the Lake God Witch is not as great. The king can't fight the Lake God Witch. Ryan can dismiss this decree by relying on Mojana alone.

The problem that Ryan thinks about is that, before he knows it, he has gone against the conservatives headed by Richard.

In this country, the contradiction between him and the conservatives of Richard, Dalheide, Duke of Lyonace, and Vulcade, Duke of Montfort, has become more and more serious. He appointed aristocrats to do business and encouraged serfs to work. , The behavior of accepting dwarves and wood elves is intolerable by these conservative nobles.

If it can be said to be a contradiction within the great aristocracy, then the current contradiction has begun to enter an ideological contradiction. This contradiction is almost insoluble. Ryan needs money, needs development, and needs an excellent army and advanced. Equipment, the final moment will not come right away, but it will not be too far away.

The country is declining. Richard cannot be said to be a tyrant and a monarch with no merits at all, but he can only be regarded as a papermaker, barely maintaining stability, and it is difficult to do much.

Looking at the deep night sky, Ryan noticed that the expedition knight Tristan had received some kind of answer. The fog did not clear for him, but he got up and left with reverence, waved farewell to Ryan, and brought his own. Jester, continue his expedition journey, the road to the Holy Grail.

Tristan has his own goal, which is the Holy Grail.

What is your goal?

"Ryan? Are you listening?" Veronica kissed the baron's lips softly, and she leaned against Ryan's arms: "Are you dumbfounded again?"

"Veronica, what is your goal in life?" Ryan hugged the witch tightly, and he asked softly.

"My goal in life? I want to be the Speaker of the Garland Council, and I want to be the greatest witch ever." Veronica leaned against Ryan's chest. She thought for a while, and her face flushed: "I I also want to have a child with you. Our blood connection will definitely give birth to an excellent child. You can teach him swordsmanship, and I can teach him magic."

It is very difficult for a witch or a sorceress to get pregnant, because the violent magic elements in their bodies will kill the male essence and harmony, but Ryan is obviously not an ordinary man.

This is why most of the lake **** prophets became holy grail knights, because ordinary knights can hardly make them pregnant.

"Really? Then you have to work hard." Ryan smiled. In an instant, Veronica realized that Ryan's face was more and less, so the witch asked softly: " What's the matter my dear? Is there anything wrong?"

"I have a new goal." Looking up at the winter night sky in Brittania, Ryan said to himself: "Since I have been chosen, let me take it in my hands!"

The next day, the Baron received good news.

The artillery he commissioned for the dwarf was completed, and the dwarf engineer Dugan Tiehan specially came to his castle and said: "Your Excellency, the artillery you commissioned us to make has been completed. I promise, this is my best work in the last two decades. !"

"Okay! Let's experiment! Mr. Dugan."

"Of course, the dwarves are the best!"
