Proof of the Sun King

François and Laurent came into the mansion's drawing room, wearing an elegant men's shirt and breeches, with the ancestral sword of Colony dangling from his waist. Ryan stood up to greet him. The Duke of Connet, who was named "Lion Heart", was a noble Holy Grail Knight like them.

"Long time no see, Raun." Francois said with a smile: "Congratulations, you have returned from the trial."

"Long time no see, Mr. Lawn, it's an honor to meet you." Ryan also said, "I think there must be something important to talk about during such a long-term visit?"

"Indeed."

Lawn's age seems to be about thirty people, and his breath is stronger than that of Ryan's legendary high-level. He should have reached the peak of legend. His blue eyes are full of piety and wisdom, but Somewhat annoyed, the clean and beautiful brown goatee was decorated very carefully, the white Holy Grail Knight's cloak was worn behind him, and the golden Holy Grail Knight badge was hanging on his chest: "Can you take a step to speak? Here... it's not suitable."

Francois nodded: "Open that room."

The mansion owned by Duke Winford is not very big, but in the mansion, there is a room like this. This room has only one door and faces the garden and the pool on three sides. It is specially used for secret conversations.

A round table was placed in the middle of the small room, and the servant brought some melon and fruit snacks and a few goblets, and then hunched over and walked out.

"What happened to make our Duke of Connet come to visit at this time?" Francois sat down calmly, and Lane asked strangely.

Neither Ryan nor Francois had any special friendship with the new Duke of Connet. Among them, Ryan was better. On his way down the mountain after defeating the Doomsday Bull, he met Law, who was still a knight of the mission at the time. Well, the two of them had a chat, but Francois really didn't have any friendship with Laun. According to the Duke himself, he didn't even meet Laun once.

"I'm really embarrassed to visit late at night." Lawn nodded embarrassedly, with a calmer expression on his face, and he continued, "It's just that I've been thinking about it. Before leaving office, my father told me that if I have any hesitations, I can look for it. Lord Francois discussed it, and it happened that Ryan was here."

"What's the matter?" Francois asked, following Laun's words.

"...Your Excellency François, Ryan, you should have heard of it, right? There have been some omissions in warehouses in the Duchy of Connet recently."

"It's the language of the blood race." Francois shook his head: "Maybe we need one..."

"Serve your master, or die, you know that Gul's real master is not you." Lane read directly.

"You can speak vampire?!" Francois said in surprise.

"Yes, my duke, there is only so much content on the note. It's like a warning." Ryan touched his chin, and the content of the preamble made him feel very strange: "Nothing else. something else."

"Will this be like a request for a merger?" Lawn also said suspiciously: "A certain upper vampire asks a lower vampire to obey his orders? Then what is the master?"

"Whether it's a vampire or an undead, they have only one master." Ryan said lightly: "The undead master, Nagash."

After hearing this name, both Francois and Lauen's faces became very solemn.

Ryan stood up: "I go directly to the Cathedral of the Holy Grail to report to His Highness Morgiana?"

"Wait, Ryan!" François shook his head quickly: "Lane, don't be impulsive, the effect of what you do is not necessarily good, but there is a danger of scaring the snake. Besides, what can we prove with just such a paragraph? You know, there are so many vampires lurking in the upper class of this country, and it is not good for us to act rashly."

"I think so too. I think the vampires are planning something." Raun squeezed his chin, and he asked Francois: "Could it be Kemmler-Heinrich?"

Kemler-Heinrich, the great necromancer, tried twice to enter Brittany to find something, the first time was defeated by the army led by Francois, the second time Kemler-Hein Richie learned his lesson, and he led the undead army to enter Britannia from the forest of Athel Loren...

Then there is no then, only for sure that Kemmler is not dead.

"Possibly, doubtful, but not certain," said François, and the grand duke seemed to have taken it to heart. "So, what are the vampires looking for?"

"A book, a book that records the life of Nagash, the necromancer's master of magic." Raun said suddenly: "You must remember that I broke into my father's banquet in rags and asked him to ask him. help."

Both Ryan and François nodded. This is a relatively well-known matter. The Holy Grail Knights know it, and even the great nobles of the entire kingdom except the Holy Grail Knights know about it. Fortunately, it was Raun who finally succeeded in becoming a The Holy Grail Knight is a good talk, otherwise it must be a joke.

"At that time, a necromancer named Medlon led an army of undead from the underground river on the north bank of Connet to the capital Curona." Lawn recalled the past. The corners of my eyes were full of grief: "I found out about this, and I knew that no one would believe me when I said that the undead marched from the underground river, so I returned to the family's castle alone and asked my father for help."

"Sixteen knights rushed with us into the underground river in the cave. We suffered huge casualties. In the end, everyone died, and there were hundreds of undead troops, even my best friend Bulka. De was also burned to death by the necromancer Medron using magic and turned into a mass of molten iron, leaving me alone." Lawn said sadly: "In desperation, I rushed up and hugged me. I fell into the underground river with Medron and sank into the underground lake. In the desperate cry of the evil wizard, I learned that his goal was to obtain the death of Nagash in Britannia. One of the nine volumes of the Spiritual Book."

"Then, when I woke up, I found myself at the bottom of the lake and I didn't drown, I knew it was the lady who saved me, and I could even feel her power still healing me, so I held on tight The sword of her blessing penetrated Medlon in the water." Lawn ended his memories, and it could be seen that the Holy Grail Knight felt very guilty for the sixteen family knights who were willing to follow him away but all died in battle.

"Salute to you, Lord Lauen." Ryan was in awe, and Francois also expressed his respect.

A knight who can be recognized by the fairies of the lake has no doubts in the eight virtues and strength of knights.

"So, to sum up, the undead came to Britannia to find one of the nine volumes of Nagash, the undead master, and their current goal is to concentrate?" Francois moved towards Lawn said: "In this way, you and I will first send people to investigate this matter. His Royal Highness Morgiana is not easy to contact, so Ryan will be in charge. Once there is any news, immediately notify the Holy Grail Knights branch in Corona. Knight Commander Eugene of the Ministry, I will also be dispatched in person!"

"I see!"

At this time, there was a rumbling sound of thunder outside.

"It's raining." The light rain sounded, Lane and François sent Lawn out of the gate of the mansion, and the new Duke of Connet rode away on his horse, even in the rain. The Holy Grail Knight walked quickly, and he disappeared on the street corner.

"Get ready, this knight's meeting may not be peaceful, Raun is a trustworthy person." Francois walked to Ryan's side and whispered: "If he is not loyal, Louis will not rest assured. The title of Duke is handed over to him, and the lady will not recognize him."

"I'm not worried about this." Ryan shook his head, he always felt as if something was wrong: "The Holy Grail is a gift from a lady, I naturally won't worry, I'm just worried... If the vampire is not looking for the nine volumes of books, or other of what?"

"What do you mean?" Francois was also thoughtful. The wise duke had fought many times with vampires, and he knew that this creature was the most cunning: "Is the search for the nine volumes just a pretense?"

"No, I mean, the nine volumes are indeed invaluable to vampires, but... is there something else that is attracting vampires?" Ryan began to have some associations.

He thought of Morgiana being cursed by a powerful undead, and more of what Morgiana said about the attack in Berleon and the night of blood.

Does this have anything to do with the vampires' plans?

Nobody knows.

…………

More and more knights began to pour into Curona, ready to participate in the knights conference. Lane and others estimated that at least five or six hundred young ranger knights would participate in the knights conference.

Young knights from the Duchy of Winford also came to the registration point to sign up, and ranger knights from twelve duchies signed up here.

The registration site was very crowded. Young and passionate knights kept shouting their names and reporting their coat of arms. Behind the white boulder arch~www.wuxiaspot.com~ a white-haired marquis was Presided over the registration ceremony, a long line of knights lined up for two blocks. In order to express their piety and virtue to the lady, all the knights lined up in person, even the duke's daughter, Surya. Standing far away in the crowd, waiting for the fast-moving team.

Lane, François, and Julius stood far away, and François saw the white-haired aristocrat with a strange smile on his face: "It's really hard for him. ."

"It's hard for him? My duke, who is he?" Ryan asked curiously, because he found that even Julius, who was so serious and rigid, couldn't help but laugh.

"His name is Charles, he is Richard's eldest son, he is also the Marquis of Le-Angoulan, and he is the first in line to the Duke of Le-Angoulan." Julius explained: "From a certain point of view, He is still Crown Prince and Crown Prince, and as long as Richard appoints him as his heir and His Highness Morgiana agrees, he will be the next King."

Crown Prince? Looks like an old man in his 70s and 80s? Ryan thought to himself that this guy has few hairs on his head, can he still be a king?

"He's really His Majesty Richard's eldest son? Why do I think he looks older?" Ryan complained.

"That's because his strength is not good. He is only an elite middle-class. At the age of seventy, he naturally looks very old." Francois took over the words, and there was always a strange smile on his face. : "He was established as the first heir to the duke at the age of three, and was named the Marquis of Le-Angouran at the age of ten."

"But sixty-seven years have passed since then, and the toddler has become a gray-haired old man, but Charles still can't wait for the day when he inherits the throne, um, he Also waiting for Richard to pass the throne to him."
