The Sun King's Evidence

Chapter 566, Mu Xilong’s night talk

PS: This chapter is 4700 words long, I wish you all a happy reading.

Mousilon has been recovered. After nightfall, the entire city is now controlled by the human army. Patrolling armies are exploring the entire city, searching for possible enemies. By the way, many soldiers are attacking the ruins of collapsed houses and some The wealth in the old house was still unforgettable, and they rummaged through boxes and cabinets, looking for a windfall that might have been forgotten.

It is true that a very small number of lucky people found a little fortune by luck. This matter was reported to Devon Baron Hex. Hex thought about it carefully and felt that there was no need to stop it, so he turned a blind eye to it. alright.

The city of Mousilon is really too big. In fact, after entering the city, even an army of more than 20,000 people is not enough to search every part of the city, especially in the shanty towns and the lost areas. There are many hidden passages, cellars and secret basements that the army spent a lot of time searching but could not clear. At this time, it may be good news that some soldiers are willing to take initiative and search door to door.

After the Great Enfeoffment, Ryan and others stayed in Landuin Street in the center of the river. Ryan chose a three-story middle-class noble mansion for himself to live in. The things inside were cleaned up and changed to a very simple one. Temporarily, he was used as Ryan Residence here.

Today, Lane is hosting a banquet here for the Imperial General Dietrich from Empire Nuer, his lieutenant Boris von Zhukov, Lane's Baron Lucien of the Spire Palace, and his good friend Alfred.

Due to the decrease in food reserves and Mu Silon's busy schedule, Lane's treat was very simple and did not strictly follow the order of serving. Lane prepared a total of four dishes for this banquet.

The first dish is a large cassoulet filled with potatoes, corn, pork, chicken, lamb, bacon, and various spices.

The second dish is Brittany's famous veal béchamel. The reason why it is called béchamel is because the sauce poured on this dish is white. This dish is made from veal breast or shoulder meat, boiled in water with carrots, celery, and onions. Beef Blanc and Beaujolais are a perfect pairing.

The third course is Lyonnaise fish soup, which consists of fish soup, bread slices dipped in garlic and potatoes. This coastal delicacy is a perfect treat when paired with a red wine from Bordeaux Breaks Vineyards.

The last dish is Mousilon’s famous frog dish. Mousilon has nothing else but snail frogs. This kind of amphibian was put on the dining table of Brittanians a thousand years ago. To this day, it is still the main source of meat dishes for many people here in Mu Xilong. The tender frog meat is served with garlic butter and parsley. After eating it, you can feel the wonderful taste, and it also has the effect of prolonging life. It is said that Mu Xilong The Long people eat one million frogs every year. Ryan doesn't know how he calculated this number, but since he arrived in Mousilon, he had to do as the locals do and taste the famous frog dish.

On Ryan's side was his female courtier Theresa. Due to the hot weather in July and the previously frozen underground river, which consumed a lot of mana, Theresa had been at rock bottom for a while, so she just happened to accompany Ryan for activities. , that is, just take a rest and vacation.

On the dining table, the sound of silver plates and knives and forks clashing could be heard endlessly. Two imperial generals sat opposite Ryan, and they ate with some restraint.

The person in front of them is now a duke, and has the same status as Emmanuel, the Duchess of Nour whom they are loyal to.

And more importantly, they witnessed Ryan's bravery throughout the entire battle to recapture Mousilon.

Needless to say, the personal prowess of the Lady of the Lake champion. The two imperial generals compared Nuer's most powerful warrior, Nuer Champion and Nuer Justice Theodore Bruckner, with Ryan. It's all a sigh, because it's far inferior. Theodore Bruckner's strength is even worse than Kalad, not to mention fighting against Tzeentch first, then Landuin, and finally in Kurona, where everyone is watching. Ryan defeated Mahhubard before.

The strong will be respected no matter where they are. Dietrich and Boris's original dissatisfaction with Ryan disappeared after seeing Ryan's strength with their own eyes, especially Boris von Zhukov, they thought to themselves It is not without reason that Duchess Emmanuel would like Ryan.

And in a few years, he will become the king of this country.

But because of this, both of them were a little embarrassed. After all, they had complained about Ryan in front of Duke Lawn. They didn’t know if these rumors had reached Ryan’s ears and they had said bad things. Naturally, these two people stood up in front of Ryan. Can't afford the waist.

"Mr. Dietrich, Mr. Boris, you have worked hard for coming all the way. You have also suffered a lot in this battle. You don't have to rush back and just rest for a while." Ryan asked why Dietrich and Boris Silent knew it well, and he didn't say anything. Duke Mousilon had a vague smile on his face: "You shouldn't be in a hurry to return to Nuer, right?"

Dietrich secretly cursed in his heart that Musilon was wasting his time now. Aren't we staying here in vain for you? The imperial general pretended to think for a while and then said in a low voice: "It would be better to go back earlier. Now that Musilon has been recovered, there is no use for us to stay here. Moreover, our losses this time are huge, including siege equipment." We have also lost more than half, and when we return to Nuer, Her Majesty the Baroness will definitely blame us."

Dame is the honorific title given by the empire to Emmanolly, who holds three great noble titles. Otherwise, Emmanolly holds the three top titles at the same time (Duchess of Nour, Elector of Brescia, and Duchess of Wesson). Li had to shout out a long introduction every time she appeared, which seemed a bit too complicated among civilians. Therefore, the citizens of Nuer gradually used a single title of "Baroness" to call Emmanuel. This title soon became popular among the upper class. It became popular among the nobility.

As soon as he said this, Ryan smiled meaningfully. He could see that Dietrich and Boris both respected Emmanuel, also known as Emilia, and they didn't know what the little maid used. The method was actually able to train Nuer's superiors and subordinates into obedience. Speaking of the losses caused, the two imperial generals were a little scared.

Theresa, who was sitting next to Ryan, was suddenly stunned.

The sorceress is wearing a set of Night Star Pearl Buds strapless dress today, which exposes her snow-white and pink shoulders. Together with her cold temperament and beautiful appearance, it highlights her arrogant temperament and her character of keeping away from strangers. , unlike Veronica, Teresa never wears low-cut clothes, and the length of her skirt is slightly above her knees without exposing her thighs. Her long and straight legs stretch out from under the skirt, and her delicate feet are not wearing stockings. She did not wear high heels, but simply wore a pair of wood elf-style flat sandals, with blue nail polish on her toenails. She sat next to Ryan very quietly, thinking about the past.

Emilia is Emmanolly! Unexpectedly, the female mercenary at the time had become one of the most powerful people in the empire. When the sorceress thought of this, she felt that things were really unpredictable. At that time, both Ryan and her felt that the female mercenary was a bit unusual, but it was really not the case. People think that she actually...

Teresa thought of this and suddenly shifted her gaze to Ryan.

Yes, who would have thought that the White Wolf Knight who took risks with him ten years ago would now turn into Duke Mousilon, the future King of Britannia? !

"Amy... If Emmanuel talks about this, you will say that I am the one who wants to apologize. In order to recover Mousilon, the imperial army also made great efforts in this war. As long as you do this Tell her, she will definitely not blame you." Ryan said with a smile.

"Thank you very much!" This is what Dietrich and Boris were waiting for, and the two imperial generals immediately thanked them.

"The Imperial Army has a lot to learn, and I learned a lot during this war." At this time, sitting aside, Lucien, the newly appointed Baron of the Spire Palace, spoke while putting a piece of grilled sausage into his On the plate, he continued: "Mr. Dietrich, Mr. Boris, when you return to Nuer, can you mail me a set of military training materials? I can pay for the postage and book fees."

"This matter is not difficult." Dietrich nodded. This veteran in his fifties said: "Leave it to us, Your Excellency Lucien, but you need to leave us your mailing address and contact information, and Mu Xi There is no postal system here in Long, and the most we can do is send it to Helen Hilde, the capital of the Principality of Winford, or to the town of Jean, Lord Lane."

"Then please send it to Jean Town." Lucien immediately left an address for them.

Ryan was silent for a moment, and he suddenly said to Lucien: "Lucien, do you have any problems there? Do you need me to send someone to help you?"

"Of course that's good, my Duke." Lucien was stunned for a moment, and the young Baron of the Spire Palace immediately responded: "Thank you very much!"

Ryan granted the Spire Palace and its surrounding areas to the young knight from the Duchy of Winford. However, among all the enfeoffments, the land allocated to Lucien was probably the worst.

This does not refer to the land with the worst quality, because the swamps near the Spire Palace are notoriously fertile. It refers to the town. In a series of previous wars, the entire Spire Palace Castle was melted, which means that Lu What Xi'an was assigned was a piece of white land without decent military defense facilities. In the current unsafe environment of Mu Silon, there was a big question mark whether this knight could protect his people.

This made the newly appointed Baron of the Spire Palace feel very distressed. Even if the castles assigned to other barons had been captured, at least there were ready-made castles that could be reused after repairs. When it was his turn, he became A real piece of white land, Lucien knew that he was the least qualified, and it was already good to be awarded the title of baron, and he had nothing to say about it.

Five hundred gold crowns would be enough to repair an old castle, but if it were to build a new castle, the thousand gold crowns that Ryan rewarded would not be enough, at least not for Lucien.

A pure-blooded elf war horse is worth one thousand gold crowns, and its price is unparalleled.

"Well, you can go back to Glamorgan later and find Katzenberg. He will help you, but my help is secondary. It mainly depends on yourself." Ryan said to the baron under his command The guidance said: "If possible, let the merchants and those churches participate. Don't forget that the pontoon near the Spire Palace is one of the few important transportation hubs that can cross the Grays Murray River!"

"I understand!" Lucien thought for a moment and immediately understood what Ryan meant.

"The most important thing is the population, Ryan." Theresa poured herself a bowl of beef stew with white sauce, and the sorceress made her own suggestion: "Musilon can accommodate at least one million people, but we There are only 120,000 people now, and even if you can move some people from Glamorgan, the gap is still too big."

"Leonasse will send more than 20,000 refugees over." Ryan nodded. Theresa's words made sense.

"It's not enough, only 20,000, even 200,000 is not enough." The sorceress said bluntly. She said in front of the two imperial generals and Lucien: "We need enough population, otherwise it will be impossible to rebuild Musilon's former power. luminous."

"Indeed, Ms. Trovik is right, my Duke, we need a population." Lucien also agreed with Theresa's point of view. He then said: "Without enough population, how can we revitalize this place? Now The situation is that we don’t even have enough people to farm.”

"Hmm..." Ryan pursed his lips and nodded in agreement. Indeed, his Musilon needed people.

"This time, we have to ask our imperial brothers." Ryan thought for a while and turned his attention to Dietrich and Boris: "Nur and Wesenland have a large population, right?"

"???" Dietrich was startled, and the Imperial General quickly said: "This... Sir Lane, Nuer and Wesen Territory do have a large population, but there are not many excess people. Do you want Are you moving people from our place to Musilon? Uh... we can help you issue an announcement, but..."

"No, I have no intention of bringing in people from Nuer." Ryan shook his head and said calmly: "Even if I do, I will bring in technical talents, scholars, and human engineers from Nuer."

"Then...how does Mr. Ryan plan to solve the population problem?" Boris asked doubtfully.

"Besides Nuer, aren't there other big cities in the empire? Especially downstream of you, where there is a population, and there are a lot of people." Ryan's tone was very calm: "Not only will the population there not be helpful to that city , and it has become an extremely heavy burden. Even so, aren’t the people from the entire empire still frantically gathering there?”

"You mean... the capital city of Brunswick?!" Dietrich immediately thought of something. The Imperial General thought about it for a moment, and suddenly felt that this matter might really be possible.

The city of Brunswick, the capital of the empire, has always been troubled by crowding and congestion. Its city walls have reached their limit after several expansions. Its city can accommodate a population of about 200,000 to 300,000 people. Ten thousand.

But actually?

Brunswick has a floating population of around one million year-round. Every year during the lean years, refugees, adventurers, escapees, and those escaping from the war from all over the empire will head towards the capital in waves. Look for any job you can find in Braunschweig.

Therefore, the entire city is forever overwhelmed by the crowds, stinky smells and noisy sounds. At this time, the population is no longer a resource, but has become a heavy burden.

Dietrich can be sure that if Lane proposes to accept part of Brunswick's population, then Emperor Karl-Franz will definitely be willing to sit at the negotiating table and conduct a negotiation with Lane in which each side gets what they need!

"That's right, it's Brunswick." Ryan nodded: "I discovered this problem the last time I went to Brunswick. I think Emperor Carl Franz is definitely willing to release part of the population to me. I can With the urgently needed population resources, he can also reduce the population pressure on the city. However, I will definitely not let him keep all the high-quality population and give me all the old, weak, sick and disabled. This can only be discussed slowly. .”

"In addition, I will also leave for Brunswick next year, and then go to Nuer." Ryan took out a gilded envelope with a skull, laurel wreath and iron cross printed on it: "This is Emperor Karl Franz personal letter."

"Our Emperor invites you to Braunschweig?" Boris von Zhukov asked.

"He invited me to watch the ceremony, and Emmanuel must have been invited as well." Ryan raised the corners of his mouth and said with a faint smile on his face: "Because there will be a major personnel change next year."

"Next year, the eight magic schools of the Imperial Royal Wizarding Academy will gather in Braunschweig for a competition."

"In this competition, the new royal chief wizard and the new supreme dean of the Royal Wizarding Academy will be selected!"
