Proof of the Sun King

ps. I wish everyone a happy Mid-Autumn Festival, and I hope that everyone will support the genuine version at the starting point. Every subscription of yours is the driving force for my writing.

"I'm sorry, there is no accommodation service here. If you need Mr. Lucian, you can spend thirty silver coins to go to the Pink Fairy Club in Jean Town. I think Mrs. Sarah will definitely be willing to arrange someone to relieve your loneliness." Veronica sarcastically said that the young Lucien blushed at the satire, and the knights of the kingdom laughed together, but did not take it seriously. Veronica's meaning is obvious, visiting is for visiting, and no one is welcome in the wizard's tower. Men stay overnight.

Of course, this certainly does not include a certain person. When everyone came to the door of the stairs connecting the sixth floor to the seventh floor, a huge iron gate blocked everyone's way, and the heel of Veronica's high heels lightly touched the ground. After stomping lightly, the witch turned around: "Thank you for your visit, ladies and gentlemen, today's visit is over here. The seventh and eighth floors are my private areas, please come back."

The knights also knew that the private area was not suitable for visiting, so they dispersed one after another. Ryan also planned to turn around and leave, and Veronica immediately took his arm.

"My dear, it's them, you come with me."

"Wait!" Seeing that the knights really dispersed like this, Teresa said quickly, "I'm going too."

Veronica frowned, and Witch Garland immediately thought of something, and then answered with a smile: "Okay, Trovik, come with you."

Teresa quickly followed from behind, Veronica opened the iron door, the fire-red carpet was paved with her own road, and the entrance, windows, colonnade, etc. in the luxurious private area were all domed arches, on the floor. It depicts an ellipse in the shape of the earth, with animal and plant motifs on it, the dome symbolizing the stars moving in the same direction as the sun in the sky, and a chandelier made of gold-colored brass plates.

"His Royal Highness Morgiana also wanted to visit your wizard tower, but after I considered many factors, I finally told her not to come." Ryan walked up the steps, his hands behind his back, and smiled at Veronica. : "I can't imagine how Morgiana would react if she saw your renovation?"

"What else can I do? If I have nothing to do with you, her first reaction is probably to tie me to the stake and burn me? ... Oh, yes, I'm not afraid of flames." Veronica smiled: "Dear, you did the right thing, remember to continue to protect me in the future!"

Ryan smiled bitterly, seeing that Teresa was still a little confused, and Ryan began to explain the reason to the sorceress.

Morgiana is the spokesperson and the first choice of the fairy in the mortal world. She holds great power in this country. As a religious leader, she has a lot of power, and she is also quite excluded from the mages in the kingdom, especially the dukes. Hired male court wizards, many court wizards often lock themselves in the attic of their rooms and drink stuffy wine, and their words are full of complaints about the lake **** witch.

Now there are twenty Holy Grail Knights and more than a dozen Lake God prophets stationed in Lane's territory. If Morgiana visits Veronica's Wizard Tower, there will be at least a few prophets and at least eight Holy Grail Knights to protect them. Not only is her strength strong, but she only obeys Morgiana's orders. Ryan is really worried about the sudden attack of the witch of the lake god. The ghost knows if Veronica violates the thousands of pages of laws?

"But I think you have the ability to make Her Royal Highness Morgiana quiet, dear, you always have a lot of ways to deal with women." Veronica said with a half-smile.

Teresa was still a little confused, but neither Ryan nor Veronica continued the topic. Instead, the place came.

Veronica's private space consists of her own private magic workshop, bedroom, living room, dining room, study and bathroom, and both Ryan and Teresa are enlightened when Witch Garland opens her bedroom door. .

Veronica's bedroom is not big. Brown wallpaper, tapestries and landscape paintings decorate the bedroom of about 20 square meters. The room is full of mild warm colors. Several cabinets and furniture made of cherry wood are placed in the room. On the side near the main door, there is an exquisite dresser, a beautiful floor lamp, and a fireplace made by dwarves.

When you open the glazed windows, you can see the beautiful countryside scenery. On the left is Lane's horse farm and farmland, on the right is the clear Chinon River and the majestic Oracle Mountains. From the windowsill, you can overlook Lane's Count Castle, The wooded hills were followed by the mountain road leading to Helenhilde, the capital of the Duchy of Winford, and the direction to the tower of the fairy in the lake was filled with thick fog.

"It's so beautiful." Ryan sighed, and at the same time, he set his eyes on the bed in Veronica's bedroom, and suddenly smiled: "I like this bed, I have always liked it."

"I like it too." Veronica gave Ryan a coquettish look. This bed was exactly the big bed she brought all the way from Skydome to Ryan's territory. This bed was re-reinforced with fine red-winged wood, It was big and soft, carrying many fond memories of Veronica, and Witch Garland clapped her hands: "Okay, Trovik, you have visited all the places that should be visited, now you can go back and spend the time Leave it to me and Ryan, and also! Don't touch my bed!"

Teresa still wanted to reach out and touch the sheets of the big bed. After hearing Veronica's words, she frowned, but she knew it was best not to bother with Veronica in front of Ryan, so the sorceress had to pull one. The bench sat down: "It's a luxurious wizard tower, Veronica, I don't think you need to leave this place in the future."

"This matter has nothing to do with you, Trovik. You don't need to tell me about my affairs. By the way, when are you going to go back to your council? Don't make your mother wait!" Veronica retorted, Jia Witch Lan sat directly on Ryan's lap, and then deliberately kissed him on the mouth: "Don't disturb me and Ryan again, okay? I beg you."

"You!!!" Teresa was so excited that she wanted to get angry again.

"Okay, two ladies." Ryan finally spoke, he tightened Veronica in his arms and let go gently, he stood up, stood in front of the window, and said calmly: "I have some I want to discuss something with you."

Hearing Ryan's words, the two witches knew that Ryan had something important to discuss with them. Veronica kicked off her black high-heeled shoes, and her long black silk legs were slender and straight, exuding moving charm. Sitting lazily on the bed: "You said, dear, you must have encountered a problem now?"

"Ryan, what's the matter?" Teresa turned her head and moved her black glasses with butterfly patterns, looking at Ryan who was standing by the window.

"I have several plans. First, I plan to reduce taxes on my entire territory. The serfs live too hard." Ryan said in a deep voice, his eyes looking out of the window: "I need to reduce taxes and strengthen them. positivity.”

As far as the eye can see, it is full of farmland and prosperity, the serfs are working hard to cultivate, and the wheat waves are turning in the middle of summer.

"This matter means that you have to challenge the existing 'Ten Tax Nine System', dear." Veronica immediately realized something, and she frowned: "Dear, what are you going to do? If you If you want to do something like tax, then it means you have to go to war with the vast majority of nobles in the entire kingdom, and your territory will also be unstable."

"Lane, you must be careful about taxes." Teresa also said, "Even if you are the champion of the Lady of the Lake, doing so will arouse the opposition of the nobles."

"So, be careful about all this." Ryan frowned, he thought for a while, and told Veronica and Teresa what he thought: "In this way, the lord who cultivated farmland in the forest worked hard for more than five years. In 2008, those who paid their taxes on time, their families were promoted to serfs and serfs were entitled to tax reductions, and their taxes would be reduced from the seventh tax to the sixth tax, how?”

The new earl knew that if he wanted to change the tax system that Britania inherited from the founding of the country to the present, he would shake the foundation of his rule. Don't think about it, it must be unanimous opposition, and the only people he can discuss are Veronica and Teresa.

"No!" Veronica first complained: "Ryan, you must not move the tax. If you don't want to face the condemnation and hostility of the entire kingdom, you must not move this tax. If you want to die, hurry up. Come on the bed, leave me a child, and you can find a tree to hang it."

"That's right! Ryan, don't move this tax. Think about it, the vast majority of serfs in the entire kingdom are 'Ten Tax Nine', and Duke Francois's Ten Tax Seven has already caused him a lot of damage. Criticism and pressure, Francois is a descendant of Arthur, and the Holy Grail Knight is under such enormous pressure, if it were you, your foundation in this country is still shallow, you can't do it, Ryan." Lisa also said softly, "Don't."

Lane turned from the window, and the earl really felt the pressure from the whole society and the whole class.

Neither Veronica nor Teresa belonged to the aristocracy. Their starting point was for Ryan's good. Even so, they held a negative attitude towards Ryan's ideas.

It is conceivable that if Ryan called a meeting of his knights, he would encounter fierce opposition.

"Lane, remember, don't think it's easy to reform the tax system, you will make countless enemies in this kingdom, if the kingdom is reduced from ten tax seven to ten tax six according to you, how many ranger knights will lose their positions and Salary, how many kingdom knights will go bankrupt because of this?" Veronica added seriously: "You will be against the knights of the entire kingdom!"

Ryan nodded slowly, he let out a long sigh, sat beside Veronica, and asked softly, "Let me think about it... Or we can change it another way, that is, change the tax to a fixed tax. , just levy the tax according to the standard of farmland production. We invite the Church of the Goddess of Mercy and the Church of the God of Justice to do justice and set a general standard. If the serfs can pay the corresponding tax according to this standard, then the rest If the serfs can't do it, then we will levy the tax according to the 7th tax, how?"

"You mean, the tax is fixed, and the more you work, the more you get?" Veronica motioned for Ryan to hug her.

Ryan held the warm and fragrant nephrite jade of Witch Garland in his arms. He stretched out his hand to wipe oil on Veronica's black silk beautiful legs, enjoying the tender touch. Veronica let him do what he did, Witch Garland. The eyes were full of attachment, she thought for a while, then nodded: "If this is the case, then the opposition you will face will be much smaller. On the surface, the interests of the knights have not been lost. And you are now enjoying a huge aura with the prestige of killing the Scarlet Duke and the newly appointed Earl... You are indeed capable of accomplishing this, but... dear, shouldn't you really sympathize with the serfs?"

"Hehe~ How is that possible." Ryan thought to himself that he came to this world to fight chaos, not to engage in charity and land reform. It is necessary to properly improve the living standards of serfs and liberate productive forces, but as he said before Yes, the main people who fight against Chaos are the knights and nobles. These serfs with weak beliefs have cultivated a leading party of Chaos and the undead.

Certain theories are not universally applicable. There are gods and chaos in this world, and if they are not well controlled, they are all reserved for chaos. This world is idealistic, not materialistic.

Letting the serfs exert their own value is the fundamental purpose of Ryan.

"Also, I plan to issue an order that all bandits and bandit groups in the territory will be restricted to bring their people to vote within one month. Depending on the situation, I will forgive the past or reduce the crime. If the time does not come, then Hehe." Ryan grinned.

"It's a good idea. Bandits and bandits are high-quality populations. Ryan, your reputation in the kingdom is so high now that bandits don't have the guts to fight against you." Both Veronica and Teresa are concerned about this. Approve in favor.

"Finally, I plan to halve some of the miscellaneous taxes for all infantry regiments. After two years of service as my soldiers, they will be exempted from the furnace tax, mill tax and wood cutting tax. Sergeants and Rangers also There will be additional exemptions from hunting tax and marriage tax." Lane added that he wanted to encourage serfs to join the army actively.

In war, not only knights, but also infantry are indispensable.

The miscellaneous tax is innocuous, it is entirely up to Ryan to have the final say, and the two witches have no more opinions.

"Then do it!"

Old World, Southern Kingdoms, Tyrell, Miragliano.

The Emperor, Guilliman, Fulgan, and Kaul were strutting around the streets of Miragliano, and many people on the road were looking at these people with surprise, but that was all. Now, they thought these people were the bishops or guards of a certain sect, and maybe some high elves' visitors.

Miragliano, the capital of art, is the capital of the kingdom of Tyrell, famous in the old world for architecture, fashion, art, painting, opera, tourism, in this place ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ countless artists and singing Homes take root here, merchants, wizards, and mercenaries form the main rulers of the Tyrell Kingdom. They restrain each other and jointly create the current prosperity of Tyrell.

Huge flow of people, numerous art galleries and museums, this metropolis, which has been famous for more than 1,500 years, still maintains its former prosperity after the high elves left.

However, because the Tyrell kingdom is composed of countless city-states, and the environment of free trade is also corrupted, thousands of churches in the city worship hundreds of strange gods, many of which are even unheard of, the four gods of chaos. It can be openly worshipped here through simple disguise, elves, dwarves, and even mutant demihumans move freely on the streets, unsupervised, murders and thefts occur every moment and every second of the streets, and even some People blatantly selling cult books and accessories on the street are ignored.

Because of this, the Emperor and others were moving freely on the streets. The long black hair of the Lord of Humanity fluttered in the summer wind. Guilliman and Fulgrim were separated from each other. The Ultramarine Primarch Guilliman said dissatisfiedly: "Father, although this city is prosperous, it is too chaotic."

The Emperor did not answer Guilliman's question; instead, he stopped.

"Look there, Guilliman, Fulgan, tell me, what did you see?"

Guilliman and Forgan looked up and saw a boar sitting on the throne, wearing a crown on its head, making a "snoring" sound, and advancing under the protection of a large number of elite mercenaries.

"The pig with the crown?" Fulgan said strangely. "Worshiping some false god?"

"No, that is Prince Tyrell elected by the princes of the city-states." The emperor said calmly: "It has been in power for nine years." If you want to chat with more like-minded people, follow "Youdu Literature" on WeChat , talk about life, find confidants~
