Proof of the Sun King

When Ryan and Suria rode the pure-blooded elf warhorse to the commercial street in the rich area of ​​Noor, it happened to be about an hour before the start of "afternoon tea" every day.

The entire wealthy area has begun to get busy. Almost every aristocratic mansion drives out of the extremely ornately decorated carriages, decorated with flowers, portraits and fine silks, and shuttles back and forth on the streets. Inside, there is a noble lady or noble lady who is beautifully dressed. Most of them are wearing fox fur coats or waistcoats outside, wearing low-cut silk long dresses, with many In the domed wide-brimmed hat with feathers, stockings and high-heeled shoes, Yingying Yanyan's splendor would have been truly refreshing, if not so many guards and servants following the carriage.

On this point alone, Noor is different from Brunswick. Brunswick is relatively crowded, even in a wealthy area. If noble ladies and noble ladies do this, it is easy to block traffic. Finally, It attracted the attention of the capital's army and the emperor, and for the military nobles of the empire, they were quite annoyed by this. The noble ladies and noble ladies naturally dared not engage in such a big battle, and there were very few large-scale gatherings.

Nur is different. First, the ruler of Nur was the regent Schroeder family before, and then the ruler was Emmanuel, the queen of the empire. They are not very strict in this regard. After all, Ai Manoli, that is, Emilia herself, was a woman, and she didn't get much involved, but she understood.

Second, the streets of Noor are much wider than Brunswick, and they are very orderly, making it difficult to block.

Therefore, the female nobles in the entire city have gained a certain degree of autonomy, and the female nobles hold various activities throughout the day to pass the boring time.

In Nuer, the entertainment life of female aristocrats is still very rich, various art gatherings and activities of Nuer University, reading clubs, dinner parties, horseback riding picnics, watching various competitions in the city, shopping, and Nuer. The most important aristocratic traditional afternoon tea party in Erlang.

A mighty group of female nobles went directly to Noor University in carriages. It seemed that there was a book club today, where you could listen to lectures, socialize, and finish afternoon tea by the way.

This is a circle that countless women want to enter. Whenever women in the old world talk about the exquisite life of the Nuer noblewoman, they are always fascinated, and it takes a long time to wake up from their dreams. .

Because of this, Ryan never blamed the waitress at the Magritte State Guest House. There is always a dream. What if it comes true?

From this point of view, the Duchess Surya, who was riding a pure-blooded elf warhorse, seemed rather unusual.

Suria also felt this, the female knight was wearing a satin textured mocha warm forged shirt, a retro cherry wine red late-autumn coat, a white lace striped one-step skirt, and a pair of slender straight slender legs wrapped around He was wearing thick black opaque tights and a pair of black high-heeled boots.

Even if Suria is not wearing a noble dress now, no one will doubt that this beautiful female knight is a real female noble, because her temperament is so outstanding, no one can be like Suria, With such a perfect blend of heroism, extravagance, intelligence and motherhood belonging to women, her appearance has even attracted the attention of some male nobles in the wealthy area, but the Holy Grail Knight next to her is obviously her husband , I haven't dared to take the initiative to strike up a conversation for the time being.

Suria's fair and charming face had a hint of ruddy. She rode a pure-blooded elf warhorse and said to her husband: "Think about it carefully, Ryan, there are really not many opportunities for us to go out alone like this. I remember the most. The funny one was the mill and windmill in Curona, but unfortunately we didn't have much time alone when Matthew Bard and Fiona interrupted us... Now we have Devon Hill..."

"Why, Madam also wants to have an afternoon tea party?" Ryan's answer meant something.

"Lane, you know that's not what I want." Surya pulled on the reins and motioned Richter to walk slower. She said angrily, "You did it on purpose!"

"Hehe~" Ryan looked at the other end of the neat and clean stone street, and sighed slightly: "I have too many things... I also have a lot of women, and I didn't spend enough time with you. This is true. My fault."

"This is a common problem with good men, Ryan." Suria shook her head: "Father is the same. When he is busy, he rarely has time to accompany his mother... But this is the hero in my heart."

After speaking, Sulia seemed to have thought of something, and she continued: "Okay, let's not talk about this, Ryan, how do you plan the next time?"

"Let's go to the Von Lack family's mansion first to see if there are any clues." Ryan nodded, and he continued, "Then you make arrangements, and by the way, we can talk about what to do next."

"Let's go to the Lac family's mansion now?" Surya thought for a while, and the female knight quickly agreed with her husband's point of view, and she continued: "Then we can go to the famous cafe in Noor, I also heard that there is an event at Noor University in the evening? How about having dinner outside?"

"Of course, dear, I listen to you." Ryan nodded with a smile.

Without further ado, the two of them rode the pure-blooded elf warhorse and walked directly towards the mansion of the Von Lack family.

This family's mansion is located on the edge of the wealthy area of ​​Nuer. It is said to be a mansion. In fact, it is just a three-storey house with a basement and a small garden. There are only five rooms in the house, and the building structure is very narrow. The floor area is 70 to 80 square meters.

But for such a small house, the estimated value is 5,000 gold marks. If an ordinary farmer in the empire earns 15 gold marks a year, he can save enough money to buy a house if he does not eat or drink for more than 300 years.

Ryan always has an illusion, it seems to be the same everywhere?

After the tragedy of Baron Werner, the mansion fell into a serious dispute. Two collateral children of the von Lacker family fought for the right of inheritance. They have now resorted to the Noor court and the city council. , everyone is waiting for Emilia to make a decision.

Because of this, the small house is currently locked and unoccupied. The tall, dark-painted ticket reads "Von Lack, 6 Reuben Street."

Turning over and dismounting, Nur was still very cold in February. Ryan walked to his wife and carried her off the horse, then knocked on the door: "Is there anyone?"

"dong dong dong~"

"Is anyone there?" Ryan knocked on the door, but there was no answer for a long time.

Surya stretched out her hand to the sword of Leonassai around her waist, and she nodded towards Ryan.

Ryan asked again, "Anyone?"

After waiting for a minute, Ryan gave up, took out the door key he got from Emilia, and opened the door: "Excuse me!"

The small courtyard was only thirty or forty square meters in size, and there were some simple flowers and plants in it. Ryan and Suria led the pure-blooded elf warhorse into the courtyard, and the high wall immediately blocked their sight.

There was a lot of snow in the courtyard, and it was clear that it had not been cleaned for a long time.

The husband and wife walked into the courtyard. Surya let go of the reins of her horse, Richter. The pure-blooded elf warhorse was obviously very dissatisfied with the smallness of the courtyard. It snorted and shook its head. Use body language to express displeasure to his owner.

Similarly, the same is true for Ryan's mount, Grape, which also raised its hooves towards Ryan and pointed at the wall, signaling you to push this wall for me, otherwise it would be difficult to walk.

Lane had to use Elvish language and psionic energy to communicate with Grape, signaling to Grape Uncle to take it easy, and aggrieved your old man and your wife to stay here for a while, let's go in and have a look.

That's right, the two horses, Vine, the warhorse of Ryan, and Richter, the warhorse of Suria, have given birth to several pureblood foals.

After handing the fodder consisting of carrots, soybeans, black beans, peas, honey and corn, the two pure-blooded elf war horses quieted down. Wait here.

"According to your calculation, this courtyard costs a thousand gold marks, which is enough to buy a pure-blooded elf warhorse in Britannia." Suria stood on the steps, she obviously had a lot in mind: " I think the price of land in this city is enough to buy half of Brittany."

"Oh, so why is it forbidden to export pure-blooded elf war horses." Ryan let go of the reins, walked up the steps as well, took his wife's little hand, and said gently, "You must know very well that the price of land is false, and the price of real goods is real. , if we really let it go, the Nuer people can buy out all the pure-blooded elf warhorses in Britannia tomorrow, and then we will only get a few pieces of useless land."

With Suria's cleverness, she has deeply realized the impact behind the high land price in Nuer.

Such a shock would be devastating to Brittany's estate economy and tax in kind.

"But why is Nur's land price so expensive?" The female knight was still puzzled that Nur's land price was so expensive.

"It's hard to understand." Ryan smiled: "The development of industry and commerce has formed agglomeration and central effects, and land prices will naturally rise. Nuer's Chamber of Commerce and those steel guilds have already reached various conditions with the local nobles. Hoarding is strange. As time goes by, the price of land will naturally continue to rise. Whether it is Brunswick or Nur, it is not only an important city that radiates the entire empire, but also receives resources from the entire empire. Don’t forget, the empire is only these two cities There are military factories."

"In addition, security is also a very important reason. Nuer's army and city defense are too strong. Living here can make people feel safe, which is very important to the empire."

"Well, the citizens and nobles are also contradictory about this. For the citizens and nobles who have land, the rise in land prices is something that benefits them, and these people occupy most of the city of Nuer [.] Real estate, so even if there are some dissenting voices outside, there is nothing they can do about it. As for your little maid, she is the largest landlord in the entire Nuer, and naturally she will not object. The rise in land prices or at least not fall is what they like, and They will even use the power in their hands to prevent the land price from falling." Suria immediately figured it out, and the female knight shook her head helplessly: "I always feel that your thoughts in Musilon are the same."

"You are really smart, my lady." Ryan held his wife's little hand and said with a smile: "At that time, I will be the biggest landlord in Mousillon, and you will be the landlord's wife, and Devonhill will be the small landlord."

"Who wants to give you the local mistress? What an ugly title!" Suria blushed, she suddenly lowered her head and muttered to herself: "I once thought that I would be a countess and a duchess in the future, but I didn't expect... "

"Isn't that bad?" Ryan smiled and put Surya's little hand on top of his big hand, and said seriously, "You deserve the best in the world, my lady."

"Ryan..." In the cold weather of February, Suria looked at her husband affectionately, her face flushed.

Until the grapes snorted.

Uncle Grape neighed, raised his hoof and pointed, signaling you to come in, why are you standing at the door? We are waiting for you!

Both Ryan and his wife were a little embarrassed. Duke Musillon quickly stretched out his hand and pressed it on the door of the mansion. As blue psychic energy penetrated the crack of the door, there was a sound of a spring behind the door, and the door opened.

There was a gust of hot wind oncoming, and the expressions of Ryan and Suria changed immediately. Ryan held Thor's Hammer with one hand, and Suria's sword of Leonasay was immediately unsheathed, and the white-gold flame was in the blade. The top was burning, and the two carefully stepped into the mansion without taking off their shoes, so they stepped in like this.

As mentioned earlier, this mansion is very narrow, with only the dining room and kitchen on the first floor, the floor is covered with good carpets, and the decoration style is relatively antique compared to Brunswick, adding a lot of Nuer's steel and gunpowder Elements, including some sculptures of artillery pieces and the coat of arms of golden griffins.

"There are signs of fire in the kitchen, but it's not something that happened recently." Ryan checked the kitchen, and because the window was open, a thin layer of ash had accumulated in the kitchen: "Strange, normally, even Baron Werner He died in Brunswick with a group of his subordinates, but Noor's mansion will not be unmaintained? If this mansion is uninhabited, it will age quickly."

"Is it a temporary cold treatment due to the struggle for inheritance?" Sulia moved her long black silk legs to inspect the restaurant, and the female knight carefully observed the silver tableware and some red wine locked in the cupboard: "There should be No outsiders have come in~www.wuxiaspot.com~ These are all good wines, if I were a thief, I wouldn't let them go."

"If they don't know the goods?" Ryan carefully inspected the interior of the restaurant, and when he heard Surya's opinion, he laughed casually: "Not every thief knows wine like my wife."

"But there's no reason for them not to take away the silver cutlery." Sulia picked up a small silver spoon and shook it in front of Ryan: "This thing is easy to get rid of, put it away in the furnace and recast it. For a moment, no one will recognize the original owner."

"Hahaha, obviously, I was persuaded by my wife." Ryan immediately said playfully, "Okay, let's go to the second floor and have a look."

The husband and wife had nothing to gain on the first floor and decided to go upstairs to have a look.

When they carefully walked to the door on the second floor and saw the scene in front of them, both Ryan and Suria frowned.

An elderly man in a housekeeper's tuxedo had died at the door of the living room on the second floor, with a purple dagger stuck in his back.

"Looks like we're late." Suria immediately crouched down to examine the body of the deceased: "He's been dead for a few days, but the weather is cold and his flesh is frozen, so no one found him."

Ryan also squatted down, he checked carefully, and soon found something wrong: "Suria, look, he has a square scarf in his hand."

"Let me see." Pulling the square scarf out of the hand of the dead old butler, Ryan gently opened it.

A special pattern was printed on the scarf, with the green female siren in the middle, surrounded by her split tails, and there were some coffee stains on the scarf.

"This is... the pattern of the banshee siren?" Suria looked at the pattern and fell into contemplation.

"Wait, what is this pattern?!"
