The Sun King's Evidence

PS: I watched the latest DLC promotional video, steel, (dimensional stone) gunpowder, and faith (horned rat). Is this really the protagonist of Warhammer, (Skaven Rat) Empire? Yesyes!

At around four o'clock in the afternoon, Ryan and others came out of Duke Bilibali's mansion.

Fedmund, the legitimate son of Duke Bodrick, was speechless in admiration for Ryan. He opened his mouth for a long time and then said: "Your Excellency Ryan, I really admire your wisdom. I originally expected many situations. , but you can actually directly win the duel..."

Ryan shook his shoulders and said calmly: "Didn't I say it before? Fedmund, everyone has their own preferences. As long as you like them, you can often win the other person's favor, just like me. It’s the same as doing this the first time. I can choose to watch, but you can also see the benefits of taking action. I probably don’t have the favor of Duke Silva, but at least we got his help.”

Veronica was as silent as a vase. She rarely interrupted when Ryan was talking, and the dark elf was even more aloof. After Ryan answered, Fedmund lowered his head in thought. Obviously, Ryan This approach caused a huge impact on the Holy Grail Knight who had just returned from a long journey.

Normally, according to his logic, he should be trying to discuss with Duke Silva on the grounds of chivalry and lord's responsibility plus a certain diplomatic threat, asking the other party to solve this problem.

Obviously, no matter how he deduce it, Fedmund can imagine how much energy it will take.

Ryan's method of solving the problem not only perfectly used force, but also did not make the local nobles feel the slightest resentment. It also won the unanimous support of the local residents, and finally accomplished the set goal very well.

"Silva, Duke of Bilibali, loves to watch fighting matches. He will take his family to the arena every Thursday and Sunday to watch the matches. There was even a time when the port was harassed by pirates, and bullfighting matches are still held in the city. Or the situation of the duel competition, this is the information we collected, you have to know how to use it, Fedmund, everyone has hobbies." Ryan intended to mention Fedmund a few more words, so he continued: "It's like Your father, Lord Bodrick, loves wine and swordsmanship, and he also particularly likes legends about the ocean."

Fedmund was thoughtful and asked tentatively: "What about you, Mr. Lane? Can I venture to tell you, what are your hobbies?"

As soon as these words came out, Fedmund obviously felt that something was wrong in the atmosphere, because Veronica and Orika looked at Ryan with strange eyes almost at the same time. The dark elf's light wheat-colored face was slightly red, and his hands were crossed. Without saying a word, Veronica stretched out her hand and twisted Ryan's arm, smiling and saying nothing.

"...I also have my hobbies, and now is not the time to talk about this." Ryan calmly changed the topic: "First, let us summarize the current intelligence."

When it came to business, everyone became serious.

According to information from Duke Bilibali's secretary, two waves of wandering knights from the north have recently arrived in the Principality of Bilibali.

Of course, the clerk could not identify which group of people were the people Ryan and the others were looking for, so they could only tell Ryan and the others the whereabouts of the two groups.

There were more than thirty people in a group of wandering knights, the leader was a handsome middle-aged gentleman. They stayed at the Red Bull Hotel, the largest hotel in the city.

Another group of wandering knights were dressed in rags and numbered about seven or eight people. They did not choose to stay. According to enthusiastic city residents, they planned to go to Sahagun, a farm 20 kilometers outside the city.

"In that case, let's split up into two groups." Ryan thought for a while and said, "Feedmund, you and Alfred take the Poseidon Knights to the hotel to find the group of wandering knights."

"Veronica and I went to the farm they were talking about. The farm is located outside the city. Our large-scale mobilization of manpower can easily be noticed by the informants in the city." Ryan motioned to the Witch of Gloria to come to his side: "Vei and I Ronika is a partner and has the best understanding, so we will leave the farm to us.”

"Master, I want to go with you." The dark elf said seriously.

"No, you stay." Ryan whispered: "Feedmund needs your help, they may not know how to interrogate."

"But Master..."

"This is an order." Ryan continued.

"Okay." The dark elf nodded reluctantly: "Then I will wait for you to come back in the city."

"Um."

…………I am the dividing line that divides the troops into two groups……

April in Estalia is different from Britannia, which is still slightly cold. It is full of spring and summer scenery, with birds singing and flowers blooming. People in Estalia have completed spring plowing. They seem to be quite satisfied with their current life. They sing songs, are enthusiastic, optimistic, unrestrained and practical.

Seeing the appearance of Ryan and Veronica, they will neither be as fearful and full of admiration as the serfs of Britannia, nor will they be as full of vigilance and hostility as the Imperial people.

Veronica wore a fiery red leather coat and leather pants, and tied her long hair back. The Witch of Gloria naturally loves beauty. She usually wears a skirt and only changes into it when facing a battle. In this combat equipment, she first looked at Ryan, who was wearing silver gray knight precision power armor, and then looked at the surrounding scenery: "The land here is very barren, but the people here are very enthusiastic."

"The residents of Britannia and the Empire used to be very welcoming to outsiders. Until the forces of Chaos moved south, the mutations in the old world had caused the residents there, both nobles and commoners, to lose their enthusiasm." Ryan rode on his own On the body of the pure-blood elf war horse Grape, he looked at the civilians here: "Only in Estalia and Tyrell, because they are far away from the threat of chaos and green skin, the people here will have this idea and survive, It's just a cold trophy that we snatched from the hands of the Chaos Evil God in this dark age."

"You always seem desperate about this kind of thing." Veronica was riding on a mixed elf war horse, which was naturally a gift from Ryan.

Compared to Ryan's seriousness, Veronica seemed quite leisurely, looking around.

Ryan understands Veronica's thinking, which is that this matter has nothing to do with her. For the Witch of Gloria, she will be willing to join this trip to Estalia just because it is Ryan's request, as a wizard with For a witch at the legendary peak of the tower, she can already achieve self-sufficiency and even profit through the wizard tower. Only the most desperate battle situation can make her leave the wizard tower and lead her apprentices on the battlefield.

The Poseidon Trident is neither her treasure nor Ryan's treasure, so Veronica regards this trip as a trip. She just wants to come out for some air and enjoy the time traveling with Ryan.

In addition, Veronica is actually more indifferent to other things. If Ryan hadn't restrained her more, she might even find living people in Ryan's territory to conduct magic experiments.

But this is a spellcaster. The end of the arcane path is what they are pursuing, which may take their whole life. For the high elves, the level of human magic is just the beginning of their research.

"I suddenly realized that it's been a long time since two of us went out on an adventure like this." Ryan no longer struggled with this issue. He rode along the dirt road and looked ahead: "It's been many years."

"You have a territory, I have a wizard tower, everything has become different." Speaking of this, Veronica also became a little emotional. She clenched the reins with both hands and said sadly: "There will always be this One day, Ryan, with your ability, unless you insist on not wanting a territory, as the number of wars and adventures increases, you will definitely have your own territory. Now that we can still be together, it is already good."

"Well, that's true." Ryan nodded, and then asked: "What's going on with your Gloria Council recently?"

"No, everyone is busy with their own magic research. It is said that the little princess's mother Aurora is planning to lead a witch group to visit your territory. Unfortunately, due to some things, she can't get away." Veronica tilted. He glanced at Ryan.

"Why can't you get away?"

"Isn't it because of what you guys caused? That woman called Salt Grudge, seems to be called Erenasa - Salt Water Hate? She has recently appeared in the Sea of ​​Claws and the Sea of ​​Chaos, attacking barbarian coastal ports everywhere. Because of her The method was too harsh, and many Norscans trading with Nord were also attacked, which greatly affected Ms. Aurora's import of magic stones." Veronica said casually: "The specific matter I’m not very clear either, you know, dear, I’m not in the Gloria Council.”

"The attack of the salt resentment will relieve great pressure on the Nordic coast, even including Osterland and Kislev." Ryan commented: "Although this will indeed have an impact on trade, overall it will be more beneficial than Cons."

"But the merchants and nobles of the Kingdom of Nord have strong opinions on this. They can't see the long-term benefits at all. All they know is that Egil-Red Eyes is dead, and Norsca and the northern barbarians are temporarily unable to go south again. And if we don't take advantage of the opportunity to trade and make a lot of profits at this time, how long will it take? So Nord has not been peaceful at all recently." Veronica sighed.

"It is always the easiest to be generous to others. As long as it is not related to one's own interests, anyone can act righteously and scold others." Ryan said with a bitter smile: "It is really their turn to suffer losses, and only a handful of people will do so." Will stay sane."

Ryan has encountered this kind of thing in his previous life. For example, when it comes to donations, a billionaire who donates one million to a disaster area will be attacked by a group of people. It is really unreasonable to think that he has a net worth of hundreds of millions and donates so much, but it really has to wait until he finds out. If you really want these people to spend a hundred dollars to donate when they are paid...that would be called a bloody storm, because the former is not his money, and the latter is really his interest.

Ryan does not intend to criticize the right or wrong of rich people donating money or ordinary people donating love in this matter. Donating is a virtue, and you cannot be forced not to donate. What he wants to emphasize is that the authorities are blind to the beholder, and when their own interests are truly harmed, , very few people can maintain a clear mind and reason.

While chatting, we hurried on. After the sky gradually darkened, we arrived at the farm.

"Be careful! Something is wrong!" Ryan looked at the entire farm for a moment, and he immediately became alert.

Veronica's eyes turned sharp, and she stretched out her hand to hold the Staff of Yundini tightly. This staff can instantly cast two fireball spells, and the tip of the staff can release a wave of fire to engulf the enemy.

Far away from the windmill and tall houses, a group of crows were circling over the farm. What lay in front of Ryan and Veronica was a hellish scene.

There was a strong smell of blood in the air, and there were more than a dozen corpses along the road leading to the farm. Most of these corpses were mutilated, with blood, flesh and internal organs spread all over the ground. Several carriages were placed haphazardly on the ground. On the roadside, the horses had long since disappeared.

The two immediately turned over and dismounted, Veronica recited a spell, and the Witch of Gloria felt the magical wind nearby: "A fierce battle, without any trace of magic."

No trace of magic being used? Ryan reached out and touched the blood on the ground. He frowned and smelled the blood: "The blood is still very new! This is a massacre that just happened."

"Yes, a massacre." Veronica began to recite the spell. The Witch of Gloria applied a fire shield around herself, and then a flowing fire cloak appeared around her, and then she recited a shield. The light was placed on Ryan: "Could it be those rogue knights who did it?"

"It doesn't look like it." The two people walked along the road. Ryan took out his Thor's Hammer. The head of the hammer flashed with lightning. Hearing Veronica's question, Ryan shook his head. He pointed to a dead horse on the roadside. war horse.

The war horse was wearing a riding jacket, and a big hole was torn open in its abdomen. The internal organs and the limbs of the packhorse had been eaten away: "This is not something rogue knights would do."

A little further away from the horses, there were several corpses of wandering knights. Their armors had been severely damaged and showed signs of being smashed. Veronica walked to the corpses of the wandering knights and squatted down, inspecting their armors. Wound: "It was a blunt object or a heavy object."

"The rogue knights obviously arrived here, but they were immediately involved in the battle." Ryan judged: "It seems that when they arrived here, the farm had been attacked, and this group of rogue knights did not escape. They choose to take action, but they are no match for the enemy."

"So, the enemy is still nearby." Turning his head and looking at the closed wooden door of the farm house, Ryan suddenly felt extremely alert in his heart.

"Danger!"

"What..." Veronica was still trying to check the coat of arms of the wandering knights. Witch of Gloria suddenly felt a tightness in her waist. Ryan hugged her and backed away and jumped a full five meters away: "Be careful! "

"Boom!" The wooden door of the farmhouse burst into pieces, and a huge tree trunk hit the place where they were standing.

A four-meter-tall giant beast appeared in the smoke. Huge muscles were covered with straps and skulls of different sizes. Two curved horns grew from both sides of its head. There was a huge hanging bell beside its spine. Surrounded by a huge tuft of fur.

The ferocious beast grasped a curved tree trunk with both hands and roared ear-splittingly at Veronica: "The meat... eat it... the wizard... eat it!!!"

Ryan put Veronica down and raised his warhammer: "Get ready to fight! My dear."

Veronica's fingertips burst into flames: "Cyclops!"
