From pioneer lord to king

Chapter 186 The time left for you is running out【4K】

The process of annexing the Celtic Territory is very smooth, although it is unknown, it is already real.Most of the nobles in Linton County were dissatisfied, but the Chelt collar was a hot potato at this time. Although they were greedy, they were not fools, so they had to watch helplessly.

During this period, some people also used crooked brains, such as acting as a wave of bandits to rob, and some people actually put it into practice, but the result was that they were wiped out directly, and the corpses were exposed for three days, and they didn't even dare to collect the corpses. It directly poured cold water on the aristocrats who were ready to move.

For these Dreyer reported to Ryan, Ryan just glanced at it and ignored it, and let Drey take full control of it.

It's mid-October, and the weather has gradually become colder. Although the Gothic Province borders the Green Province, the temperature in winter is even colder, and there are even snowflakes in November.

The colder temperature means that the old rivals of the human kingdoms, the orc kingdom, will start to show their fangs again.

The Gothic province is the main battlefield in the southern border facing the orc invasion, so the atmosphere has become very chilling during this period, and everyone is actively preparing for the battle.

Fortunately, the rebellion has subsided and the lost land has been regained. The nobles of the Gothic province can devote themselves to the battlefield with the orcs.

It was finally time for Ryan and other nobles from other places to leave. The military merits had been verified, and the rewards would come down after the year.

After fighting abroad for more than half a year, Ryan thought about the territory and his family in his heart, and led the team on the return journey after raising food and grass at the first time.

Along with Viscount Chells, Baron David Bella, and Baron John, the team has shrunk a lot compared to when they came, but their momentum is completely different. They have already been reborn after being tempered by the battle.

This counter-insurgency war has gained a lot for Ryan. Not only has he made enough meritorious service, but he has also broken through his own bottleneck. More importantly, he has accumulated a weak reputation, allowing more people to pay attention to the city of Kana. Borderlands...

The troops are mainly infantry, so the marching speed is a little slower, and the marching speed is only about forty miles a day.

At night, the army was temporarily stationed by the river, and clusters of blazing bonfires were scattered in every corner of the camp like dots of stars.

Allen and Levi's were leading the army for evening training, and Xiyue also got together with Dania and others, not knowing what they were doing.

Ryan broke away from the crowd and returned to the tent alone. After confirming that there was no one around, he took off the Soul Eater ring from his hand, frowning.

In successive battles, it has devoured tens of thousands of soul powers, and now it is beginning to change in an unknown direction.

His most intuitive feeling is that there seems to be something extra inside. This feeling has been particularly strong in the past few days. He can often feel the ring vibrating slightly, and just now it vibrated several times in a row.

"What the hell is it? Is it really conscious?" Ryan frowned, and couldn't help but think of the chewing sound he heard before, with some anticipation and a little bit of vigilance at the same time.

Carefully poking his spiritual power into it, the ball of light became bigger, but this is not the focus of his attention, it is inside.

"Bang... bang... bang..."

As soon as he entered the interior of the light sphere, Ryan clearly heard a dull sound, which was very regular and rhythmic, just like the beating of a heart in a stethoscope.

It's another brand new change, and each one is weirder than the other, but Ryan hasn't felt any threat yet.

Ryan drove his mental power to swim around, and he found out that there was something floating up and down in a corner of the ball of light.

It looks like a silkworm chrysalis, but its whole body is pitch black, and it is only the size of a broad bean by visual inspection. As it approaches slowly, the dull sound becomes more and more clear.

"This... what is this? The egg of some kind of creature?" Ryan suddenly felt that his IQ was not enough. He wouldn't be too surprised even if something similar to a weapon spirit was born here, but what is it?

Ryan circled around it, and tested it with his mental power, and found that there were indeed life fluctuations in it, although it was a little weak.

"Is it hatching? That's not right. Could it be that the talking and chewing sounds I heard at the beginning were fake?"

Ryan was puzzled, this was the first time he encountered such a strange situation.

After staring at it for a while, I still didn't see anything, but I don't know if it's an illusion, the cocoon-like thing seems to have grown bigger.

"What will pop out of this thing in the end? A butterfly or a moth?" Ryan began to think about this serious question.

"Whoa..."

A gust of wind blew away the curtain of the tent, and Ryan suddenly opened his eyes, only to see a figure standing at the door, looking at him quietly.

"Meilan?" Ryan frowned slightly, and it turned out that the person who came was Mei Lan who had disappeared for a long time.Seeing that it was her, Ryan's tense body relaxed a little, and he said with a little dissatisfaction: "This is a military camp after all, is it really okay for you to be so elusive?"

"Ahem, if I don't take the initiative to expose, no one here will be able to find me." Mei Lan coughed violently a few times and said in a weak voice.

"Are you injured?" Ryan was shocked. He had a vague idea of ​​Mei Lan's strength. He was at least a great magician, and more likely an extraordinary epic magician. He also had the ability to travel through space, plus various powerful spells. Nearby, someone could actually hurt her. Are you going to fight against the legendary magician?
Mei Lan obviously had no intention of explaining. She walked in and found a place to sit down. She seemed to be in a bad state.

Under the reflection of the candlelight, Ryan could clearly see her pale face, and her breath was also very sluggish.

Now Ryan was no longer gloating, and frowned, "What have you been doing during this time, and how did you become like this?"

Originally, he was just asking casually, and didn't expect the other party to answer, but he didn't expect her to be silent for a moment before saying, "I'm going to grab the evil artifact."

"Oh... um! What? Say it again." Ryan's voice changed a little, and he looked at the indifferent Mei Lan in shock, feeling that his brain was a little down. What kind of bullshit was she talking about?
"I, go, grab, evil, god, weapon!" Mei Lan replied seriously.

Ryan immediately made a silent gesture. He went outside the big tent and looked around. He returned to Mei Lan's side after he found no one nearby, and said in shock, "You killed the bishop of the Holy See." ?”

His heart felt as if a magnitude ten earthquake had occurred, and he was extremely anxious. Naturally, such a major event as the death of the bishop cannot be concealed, and no one dared to hide it. Therefore, after the incident, Archduke Douglas conducted a police investigation on everyone. inform.

At that time, although Ryan was shocked who had eaten the bear's heart and leopard dared to touch the tiger's ass in the Holy See, he was just curious, after all, he couldn't find it on his head.

And now Mei Lan actually said that she went to grab the evil artifact. Why did the bishop die because of the evil artifact?Combining the two, he naturally thought that Mei Lan might be the murderer.

It's nothing more than Ryan would think so, Mei Lan does have that strength.

Mei Lan saw Ryan's nervousness, and said flatly: "When I went, the people in the Holy See were all dead. It was the other two forces who did it. I probably know who it is. Do you want to know?"

Ryan met the other party's calm eyes, quickly waved his hand and said: "Forget it, you should keep this secret in your heart. There are some things that I should not touch."

What a joke, curiosity is curiosity, but knowing this kind of thing is not good for him, it's still a dog's life.As long as he knew that the bishop was not dropped by Melanga, otherwise he was really afraid that the Holy See would come to him and purify him along with him.

The corners of Mei Lan's mouth curved slightly, and she exhaled like blue: "One side is the king's person, and the other side is the person who wants to overthrow the king."

Ryan suddenly felt that his facial muscles were a little stiff. He looked at Mei Lan, gritted his teeth and said, "I'm not interested in these."

Mei Lan adjusted her sitting posture slightly, and said calmly: "I think you can understand, after all, this has something to do with you."

"I don't want to know if it's related." Ryan said bluntly.

"Are you sure? This may represent a major reshuffle of the nobles of the Kingdom of Tistan. You are also a noble, so you don't want to know at all?"

Ryan was silent for a moment when he heard the words. He looked into Mei Lan's eyes and said, "Why do you want to tell me so persistently? It doesn't seem to do you any good."

"Indeed, this has nothing to do with me, so let's make a deal. I'll tell you the secret behind this matter, and you will provide me with a place and resources to heal my wounds." Mei Lan looked at him without flinching.

"Hey..." Ryan sighed, he found that his heart was indeed moved, and from the moment he heard the king, he knew that he couldn't refuse.

Taking a step back, Mei Lan had saved his life anyway, and now that the other party came to him injured, could he drive her away?
Although he is not a good person, he can't do such a thing like crossing the river and tearing down the bridge.

"I'll arrange for you to heal your wounds, just say what you want." Ryan compromised, sitting on a chair and rubbing his temples.

"Do you know who the founding king of the Kingdom of Tistan is?"

Ryan looked at the idiot's expression and said, "Aren't you talking nonsense?"

Mei Lan's expression remained unchanged, and he asked again: "The Kingdom of Tistan was founded by William I and has gone through nine kings. Until 80 years ago, when William IX was young, his uncle and regent Constantine launched the 'Nine Kings'. Moon Rebellion', usurped the kingship, and established himself as Constantine I..."

"Stop, stop, is the deal you're talking about telling me the history of the kingdom? Although this period of history has been downplayed and concealed as much as possible, every nobleman knows it very well."

Ryan quickly interrupted Mei Lan, he felt that he was cheated.

Mei Lan ignored it, and said to herself: "Constantine I carried out a bloody purge after usurping power, and the surname William was almost wiped out, which made him sit on the throne with peace of mind.

Among them, a distant uncle of William IX contributed a lot. He became the only survivor of the William royal family, because his hands were also stained with royal blood.

And he was the grandfather of the rebellious Earl William. "

Ryan frowned. He really didn't know about this, but what did it have to do with him?
"No one thought that Earl William would rebel, not even the one who usurped the throne of William's royal family, because the other party has always been his most loyal eagle dog, leaving no room for the purge of the royal family.

And all of this is just appearance, just William's means to paralyze them. It seems that his hands are covered with the blood of members of the royal family, but he also successfully took away the younger brother of William IX who was still in his infancy.

During these 80 years, he raised the prince and used him as a link to contact the former king's old department and formed the King's Guard Army. Their purpose was to overthrow Constantine's rule and re-establish Prince William as the king king.

They have been dormant for 80 years, and they have accumulated huge power in secret. Once it is revealed, the entire Tistan Kingdom will be turned upside down in an instant. What they did in the southern border this time is just a way for them to declare their existence.

Since they dared to expose it, it meant that they were fearless, and maybe they had already started to implement their plan.

Although the southern border is not their base camp, as the kingdom's granary, they also have a huge power dormant here. Once they start an incident, how long do you think you can last?

You may be thinking that you can still choose to join them, but as far as I know, you have performed very well on the counter-insurgency battlefield, and you also provided the news of the coming of the evil god. I am afraid that William wants to tear your heart apart. You don't have to think about this way. "

Ryan's old face darkened when he heard the words. There was nothing wrong with saying this. If the King Wei's army really started an incident in the southern border, he would probably be the one who was killed first.

"They're just rats lurking in the dark. Even if they have some background, I'm afraid it's not enough to subvert the entire kingdom, right?"

"In theory it is, but at your height there are things you can't see.

The ancient country of Tistan is like a giant, although he is very powerful, he is already very old.The country seems to be peaceful, but in fact it is already turbulent. At some point, this huge country will fall apart, and naturally you cannot be alone in it.

Telling you so much is just to tell you, prepare yourself for retreat early, and there is not much time left for you.

And let me tell you a little more, in the past few decades, there have been many outstanding young nobles in the Kingdom of Tistan, and there are many people who are better than you, but most of them died unexpectedly. Do you know why? "

Mei Lan's tone was calm, but it made Ryan feel a chill go straight to his forehead. She said it so clearly, if he couldn't hear it, he would be a fool.

It was clear that someone was hunting and killing these young and promising nobles, and the purpose of doing so could be imagined with their toes.

It's not that he's boasting, as far as he is currently considered young and promising, does it mean that he will also be the target of these people?
For a while, Ryan felt that he was in trouble.

But...how did Mei Lan know such secret information?You must know that Earl William had never been suspected before his rebellion.

Who the hell is Mei Lan...
