Proof of the Sun King

At the end of November, Teresa and Aurora finally got out of the complicated affairs of the Garland Council. They packed up their things and came to Lane's territory with only a few official witches and a dozen witch apprentices. On the one hand, it is to avoid the limelight and find a clean place. On the other hand, Aurora also wants to see if Ryan has risen, and whether she can get enough benefits from the rise of Ryan.

The relationship between wizards and nobles is quite strange. Normally, nobles need wizards to answer their doubts about magic, wizards to provide extraordinary power and help in war and daily life, and wizards as a deterrent force. , while the wizards need the nobles to provide sufficient economic resources and legal status, as well as the power to call the army.

The two complement each other and need each other.

Aurora originally planned this as well. She asked her daughter to win over Ryan. In this way, Ryan became their mother and daughter's foreign aid in the Garland Council. With the improvement of Ryan's status, Teresa will be in Ryan's court. Occupying an important position, in this way, Aurora and Teresa's mother and daughter not only received strong foreign aid, but also took the opportunity to solve their daughter's marriage problem. This is the best of both worlds.

It's just that the plan can't keep up with the changes. First of all, Ryan has risen so fast that Teresa can't keep up with him at all. It took him twenty years to rise from a ranger knight to the Duke of Brittany! The speed of this promotion is simply unimaginable. Normally, an ordinary knight needs at least three hundred years of accumulation to become a duke, and he must also have enough luck.

Then came the appearance of Veronica. This Garland witch almost abandoned all the achievements she had worked hard for many years in the Garland Council, and went directly to Lane's territory to build a wizard tower at any cost. Aurora thought about it for a long time and did not Understand, where did Veronica get so many gold coins? It is said that in order to build her own wizard tower, Veronica invested more than 10,000 gold crowns. Where did the money come from?

Ryan is so willing to spend money on Veronica?

That is, from this time on, Aurora began to be dissatisfied with Ryan. If she wanted Teresa to be close to Ryan at first, then when Aurora got the news that Ryan became an earl, she did not want Teresa. Go to Ryan.

It's a pity that Teresa's temper is exactly the same as that of Aurora. At first, as the daughter of an imperial nobleman, Aurora ran away for love at all costs. When Teresa also expressed her determination to her mother to find Ryan, Aurora Ruo La can't object, her daughter is an adult, she has the right to make choices, and she has the consciousness to be responsible for her own choices.

Now, Ryan is not only a duke, but also a crown prince.

Aurora saw the standardized noble smile on her face, leading her wife Suria and a group of men to welcome her, and her anger kept on her face, this dead man! He even gave his daughter to him, yet he still has such a business-like attitude.

But what can be done? Now the status of the two sides has been reversed, and more importantly, will Ryan now ask Aurora and Teresa for help because he needs magic answers?

No, Ryan no longer needs to ask for help. As long as he needs it, many people will take the initiative to help him answer.

For example, the first choice of the fairies in the lake in front of me, the lake **** witch Mo Gianna, today's Mo Gianna is wearing a pleated skirt with cinnamon, cinnamon, snow, clear lotus, and even a smile on her face. , his expression was very cold, and he also carried some kind of deep hostility that made Aurora feel uncomfortable.

In terms of rank alone, they are both high-level sanctuaries. The strength of Aurora and Mogiana will not be much different, but when it comes to real strength, Aurora is definitely not as good as Mogiana. Mogiana is not only the sky and the life. She is a great sanctuary wizard of the department, and she is also the first divine choice of the fairies in the lake. She has her own unique magic system, so Morgiana's strength has been stabilized by a level higher than that of Aurora.

"Welcome, Teresa, and Ms. Aurora, welcome to my territory." Ryan took the initiative to greet Aurora, while Suria and others just watched from a distance.

"Ryan, it took a long time for you to go to the empire this time." Teresa took the initiative to walk up, and the sorceress said to Ryan, "I'm sorry, I was studying the great spell before, and there was no way to clone."

"It's okay." Ryan shook his head: "Let's chat while we eat."

A grand banquet was held in the duke's castle. Except for Veronica, who was retreating and attacking the sanctuary, everyone was here. Everyone expressed a routine welcome to Aurora's arrival. Ryan was with Teresa the whole time. Discuss what's going on with the Garland Council.

"You mean, Kislev's situation is getting worse now?" Ryan asked Teresa while drinking red wine, "Can you describe the specific situation?"

The glamorous sorceress nodded lightly. She really hadn't seen Ryan for a long time. Teresa let her long black hair fall down her shoulders. Her face was a little red, and when she heard Ryan's question, she whispered. : "The Norsca and the Kurgans are making a comeback, and just as we were leaving the Garan Council, Marshal of the Bear Cavalry of Kislev Voroshilov and Marshal of the Kislev Shooting Army Alexandrovich were Leading more than 10,000 Kislev troops to the north of the Linsk River to fight against the Norsca tribe, Her Majesty Katarin clearly refused our support, she stubbornly believed that Kislev alone was enough for her own strength against the enemy."

"Normal, most of the Mrs. Keisler will never leave their land in their entire lives. Many of them always feel that the Queen is the master and center of the world." Ryan shook his head, the Queen Catalin and his father Bao Unlike Rhys-Bokha, Katarin rarely leaves her ice palace in Kislev City, nor does she often visit the front line in person, nor does she like to patrol the territory. Like most Garland witches, her favorite is Guan. Do your own research.

"Katarin's strength is not as good as her mother." Teresa gave Ryan a wink and returned to her territory. The sorceress felt quite happy. Considering that she had been separated from Ryan for a long time, Surya took the initiative to let her sit. Next to Ryan, he is responsible for entertaining the guests: "I want you to know, Ryan, I have worked hard to get my mother to agree to come here for the Winter Veil Festival."

"Hehe~" Ryan's face was half-smiling, "Oh, is that so? So how can I express my sincerity when the female elders and congresswomen of the Garland Council are so honored?"

"Just keep it in your mind." Teresa said calmly, "If we are in trouble, you can help us, or at least support us."

"That depends on the situation." Ryan nodded slightly, and he said seriously: "Teresa, I am different now than before."

After Ryan finished speaking, Teresa didn't have time to answer, Aurora picked up the words, the witch of the sanctuary held a wine glass, and her tone was very strange: "So I said, daughter, men become bad when they have money and power. , is not trustworthy at all, and he will go to your wizard tower to find you in the future, you can let him get out on the spot."

"Mother~" Teresa said helplessly, the sorceress didn't know what was going on, why did her mother keep making trouble with her man?

"Otherwise? Ryan, let me ask you, if one day we run into trouble, would you be willing to speak for us?" Aurora asked Ryan unceremoniously.

Ryan frowned when he heard the words, this was to be courteous.

"Ms. Aurora, I would like to ask a question, Ryan's brother Fugen has a winged cavalry general 'Felix of Steel' from Kislev, you know more than once that he was exiled, how come I never listened I said that you took the initiative to plead for his majesty Queen Catalin." Olika, who was standing behind Ryan, suddenly spoke up, and the dark elf smiled sweetly: "Elder lady ate a few dishes today, and she is drunk. so?"

The tit-for-tat words made the banquet hall suddenly silent.

"Why can an elf appear here?" Aurora was holding a wine glass, her silver eyes burning with anger, staring at Ryan's personal maid.

"How many times do you know how to ask for favors after helping the master a few times? Did the master never repay you or did he accept your favors and never reciprocate?" Orika's face showed a sunny smile, her delicate and small face Full of energy under the candlelight at the banquet scene, the dark elf wore a white woolen sweater, a black winter coat, and a straight skirt. The beautiful legs wrapped in white pantyhose under the skirt looked extremely pink. She wore a pair of black pointed high-heeled ankle boots on her little feet in stockings: "Did the master not pay you? Or did he not give back to your precious daughter?"

The dark elf's words made the whole banquet hall smell of gunpowder.

"Olica, don't talk like that!" Suria also took the initiative to speak. She first stopped the dark elf from talking, and then took the initiative to apologize to Aurora: "Sorry, Ms. Aurora."

Before Aurora could answer, Ryan finally spoke: "Aurora, and dear Teresa, if you run into trouble, I will always welcome you here, but the Garland Council is not under my jurisdiction. , I am not the emperor of the empire or the chief wizard of the imperial royal family."

"Then I hope you will keep your promise." Aurora first snorted coldly, and then sighed lightly: "Thank you for your hospitality. I'm a little tired. I'll go to rest first."

As Aurora left, the banquet scene returned to a fiery atmosphere.

"Sorry, Ryan, mother has been under a lot of pressure recently." Teresa found an opportunity to explain to Ryan: "The Jialan Council has been under great pressure both internally and externally. The entire council has been suppressed as a whole, and mother is the one who is mainly attacked by the speaker. object."

"I understand." Ryan nodded slightly, and he sighed lightly: "But I hope Ms. Aurora can understand that before my words only represented myself, now I not only represent myself, but also a country, and the lake. Ms. Zhong's will, her request is for me to interfere in the internal affairs of the empire, I can't do this, I have to be responsible to my citizens."

"I will try to persuade my mother more." Teresa whispered, "Mother... She is used to her previous attitude, and she is still a little bit stuck."

"It's okay, who made her my mother-in-law." Lane joked in a low voice, "She gave me her most precious things, so she's naturally dissatisfied with me."

"Okay, you guy, you took advantage of it and sold it!" Teresa's blushing blushed, she seemed to remember something, and then said: "Lane, I bought a good thing, wait for me. Check out the wizard tower!"

"Good stuff?" Ryan became interested: "What?"

"It's a life-size unicorn doll, plush, with four legs." Teresa gestured to her new toy: "I bought it from an auction in Osterling."

"Don't wait, let's go now." Ryan seemed to have thought of something.

"Don't continue the banquet?" Teresa gave Ryan a roll of eyes.

"The award ceremony will be in a few days, and there will be a banquet at that time." Ryan stood up: "Now, let's go and see your plush toy!"

"Okay~"

…………I am the dividing line of unicorn toys…………

A few days later, the knighthood ceremony before Winter Veil officially opened outside Lane's Duke's Castle in Jean City.

Under the warm winter sun, there were about 800 old guards lined up in several rows. They all wore standard old guard uniforms, half-body plate armor made of dwarves, shirts, jackets, trousers, and tall bearskins. On the hat are multicolored feathers, red and blue epaulets, golden braids, and a new coat and hat, with dazzling embroidery and glittering feather tops, and the flowers are beautiful.

The serfs gathered from all directions, and almost all the citizens of the whole city came. They gathered together and watched the military appearance of the old guards. At this time, whether it was serfs or free people, their eyes were red. , high spirits, they are constantly crowded, want to see the style of the old guard.

There must be something important to announce today!

Even the old guards themselves were uneasy.

They used to be serfs and joined the army with dreams. Following the rise of Ryan, these serf-born soldiers have also experienced many battles and have long since become true elites between blood and fire.

This time I went to support Nuer. In the battle of Nuer, the old guards also made great achievements. The Nuer city council bought rich gifts for the old guards. Not only did everyone get a full salary, There is also a large bounty, and now that His Excellency the Duke has gathered them together again, it is obviously to be rewarded for meritorious deeds!

The crowd was full of anticipation.

While everyone was talking about it, someone in the crowd suddenly shouted: "The Duke and Madame are here!"

The chattering sound before the entire Duke's castle disappeared immediately, and all the old guards stood up straight and stood with their heads raised. I saw Duke Ryan and Duchess Surya appear together in front of the gate of the castle, taking steady steps. , came out full of majesty.

Today's Ryan is wearing a standard Brittany Duke dress, the family coat of arms on his shoulders gleaming in the sun, and just behind him, tax collector Gasparton, secretary Vincent , Baron Katzenberg, Baron Hux of Devon, Baron Armand of Merovingian, Olivier Baron Richard, Baron Oise Lopes, Baron Biocari Baron Juan, Baron Lucien Baron of the Spire Filed out with Alfred, head of the ancient church district of Freya~www.wuxiaspot.com~ In addition, Morgiana, the witch of the lake god, Francois, Duke of Winford, and Percy, Duke of Bastogne Mond and Boderick, Duke of Boldero also all arrived, and they all came to watch the ceremony.

Ryan coughed twice. His Excellency the Duke has been invincible and invincible in recent years. His majesty and powerful strength suffocated everyone. No one dared to make any noise in the open space before Nuoda's castle. The territorial people all held their breaths, waiting for Ryan's announcement.

"I announce that the award ceremony of the old guards has officially started!" Ryan looked around the group of old guards under the stage with his blue eyes, and he said loudly: "Bring that up!"

Several Holy Grail Knights carried several large and exquisite iron boxes and placed them beside Ryan.

"My soldiers, today, thirty old guards will be officially awarded the title of knight!"

"Wow~" As soon as Ryan said this, the whole scene was like boiling water, and it was fried directly! People are like a batch of gunpowder bombs thrown into the haystack, and they crackle and burst into flames.

Your Excellency, do you really want to grant the title of knight to us lowly serfs? !

The noise of the whole scene was like sea water, and the waves were higher than the waves, and even the old guards were shocked with their mouths open.

Knight title! A real knighthood title!

Then... Then wouldn't he become a real nobleman? !

"Now, please come to the stage with the old guard who read his name." Ryan took the list from Surya without any pause.

"The first person to win the title of knight was from the Sharon Forest..."
