The Sun King's Evidence
Chapter 677, Family Ethics Theater
The dinner was very simple, consisting of simple ham, steak, delicious fish, vegetable salad, butter bread and ordinary apple cider. The waiter lit candles in the room, and the simple wooden table with a hole in it was filled with food. During the food, Ryan and Theresa sat on one side, and Aurora sat on the other side. Ryan also noticed Theresa's official apprentice Emma standing behind Aurora, like a maid.
No, it’s not like, but it’s just that, the witch apprentices of the Gloria Council all started as handymen and servants of their mentors. The reality is not a fairy tale, it’s not that girls with magical talents receive an offer from the Celestial Castle. You can enter platform nine and three-quarters with a notification letter and enjoy your own college life, no.
After the apprentices entered the parliament, they all started working as busboys and servants. Many apprentices stayed as busboys and servants throughout their lives from young to old. At most, they learned some zero-level tricks and one or two-level minor spells.
After a considerable number of apprentices have been eliminated, the remaining apprentices will have the opportunity to receive magic education and teaching. This is not an easy life at this time. They have to be assistants to their instructors while receiving education. This has been done before I’ve said it before, so I won’t repeat it here.
Only when a large number of witch apprentices advance to the elite level and become official witches can they truly gain a certain degree of freedom. At the same time, they must begin to recruit apprentices and accept tasks assigned by the council or other nobles to earn living expenses and research funds for themselves. , every wizard is a big spender. Someone has calculated that if a wizard wants to advance to the legendary level or even see if he has a chance to touch the threshold of the holy realm, he will consume a minimum of seven to eight thousand gold crowns, which usually costs More than 10,000 yuan, or even 40,000 to 50,000 yuan is not surprising.
For example, why was Veronica able to enter the country so quickly within more than ten years after coming to find Ryan?
Ryan was willing to spend a huge sum of money to help Veronica build the wizard tower, and all the needs were met.
He put down his face and asked the High Elf Supreme Mage (referring to Tigris) to teach Veronica magic. At the same time, he also managed to get a large number of magic books for her to study.
At the same time, he also continuously injected a large amount of his spiritual energy into Veronica's body through a special method to help her practice. With the help of Ryan's spiritual energy, Veronica would be difficult to be affected by the wind of magic. corrupt and negatively affected.
As for the special method, you know.
Therefore, raising a wizard is indeed very expensive, very expensive.
Similarly, the rewards brought by successfully cultivating a wizard are also very amazing. What a powerful wizard can do has been mentioned before and will not be repeated here.
In general, Ryan, this brat, is really powerful. When he was a baron, he could afford to support Veronica's huge expenses. Later, after he became an earl, he was able to support two wizards in one go. Looking at Ryan While dining with Teresa, Aurora's thoughts went back and forth. No matter how much she had any objections, she didn't dare to say she was dissatisfied with Ryan as her son-in-law. In fact, if she didn't worry about the relationship between Teresa and Ryan , the empire’s royal chief wizard Galt and speaker Margarita had already taken action.
"Mother, what's wrong? You only ate a little." Teresa took the buttered bread from Ryan's hand and pushed the scooped broth in front of Ryan. The sorceress was just about to enjoy the meal for the family of three. A sense of warmth, but found that Aurora stopped eating after eating a little.
"I don't have much appetite." Aurora reluctantly took a few more bites. She forced a smile and shook her head: "You can eat."
Ryan frowned slightly when he saw Aurora like this. Before he could speak, Theresa immediately took over the topic: "Mom, are you not used to the food here?"
Aurora said nothing.
Ryan secretly laughed in his heart. Any lack of appetite is an excuse. The real reason is that Aurora has been pampered for decades and has become accustomed to a luxurious and exquisite life. This is a small village in the Principality of Bastogne. Even if the villagers have taken Providing the best food to their group, these foods are still not acceptable to Aurora.
What the witches of Gloria love most is luxurious life enjoyment, which is the same for everyone. The only difference is that Veronica lived a difficult life in her early years, so she can accept both good and bad. After Teresa was educated by Ryan several times, She is willing to endure temporarily when she has no choice, but Aurora cannot accept it. She has been here for decades. She wants the most exquisite food to eat and the best environment to live in.
This is not a common problem among the witches of Gloriosa. Each of the supreme wizards and college deans in the empire can have their own private kitchen and special food, depending on whether they need it. Lake God Witch Morgiana Needless to say, spellcasters always have privileges.
During this trip, Ryan deliberately did not let Aurora bring her private kitchen. When they returned, the special meals provided by the Holy Witches had already been finished.
After the meal, the attendants came in to clean and clear the table.
Outside, the snow was falling heavily, and the ancient lands and villages of the Principality of Bastogne once again received heavy snowfall. The white snow covered the distance as far as the eye could see, dyeing the fields and forests of Bastogne. A white land, in the dark night, except for the torches outside the house and the troops patrolling the village with torches, both the night sky and the forest in the distance are black.
Ryan stood alone in front of the window, looking at the snowy scene in the distance. His figure was like a straight pine tree. Duke Mousilon said nothing. He seemed to be thinking about something.
Teresa stood up. She walked to Ryan and closed the window: "Lyan, it's so windy and snowy outside, why are you still standing in front of the window."
"I'm thinking about something." Ryan shrugged.
"Don't think about it at the window." Teresa led Ryan to sit in front of the fire in the middle of the big house. The sorceress whispered: "Just in time, mother has something to tell you."
"What's going on?" Ryan turned his attention to Aurora.
"That's it." Aurora dangled a pair of slender black silk legs in front of Ryan: "Lian, many nobles and knights in your territory are unmarried, right?"
"Yeah, that's right." Ryan nodded.
"Then, can you do me a favor? There are many official witches and even female congressmen under my command who are unmarried." Aurora said calmly: "We can... have a party? A bachelor party?"
"Um..." Ryan had a strange expression on his face after hearing this. He shook his head repeatedly after hearing this: "Ms. Aurora, do you know Sally?"
"I know, what's wrong?" Aurora's mature and beautiful face was slightly surprised: "What's wrong with Sally Kohler, an official witch in the parliament?"
Ryan smiled and talked about a past event. When he was still a knight errant in Nord, one of his colleagues once pursued this official witch. The official witch saw that Ryan's colleague was a knight of the kingdom. He also agreed to get along first.
The communication in the first meeting was pretty good. Both parties had a good conversation and felt that they could have further contact.
Then the nightmare of the kingdom knight began.
The witch has high expectations for love. She requires both parties to exchange at least one love letter every day. Once, the knight of the kingdom went out to fight and had no time to write a love letter. As a result, he was dumped in a bad face. The witch required the knight to apologize with a bouquet of flowers.
Nord is only warm for three months every year, and the remaining nine months are cold and freezing. Where can I find flowers?
The witch saw that there were no flowers, and her whole face was dark. In the end, the knight had to sneak into the magic-blessed flower garden in the palace (it was also a magic circle made by Aurora), and secretly picked a few roses at the risk of being executed. satisfy.
Later, a famous imperial theater troupe came to Nord to perform, and a ticket cost ten gold crowns. The witch said she wanted to see it, and the knight thought about it for a long time and reluctantly paid for it. However, because he was not decisive enough to pay, the witch paid five gold crowns. After ignoring him for six days, on the day of the play, the knight himself rode his horse and his retinue to her residence and begged her for nearly two hours before letting her come downstairs. By this time, the play was already halfway through.
After watching the play, it was already very late and it was snowing heavily. The witch named Sally also required the knight to be chivalrous and send her home. The knight had no choice but to brave the heavy snow to send her home. He did not wear any clothes. The cloak was covered in snow.
The next day, as expected, the knight fell ill and was admitted to the Lady Mercy Nursing Home.
"Isn't this... a bit too much?" Aurora and Theresa both frowned upon hearing this, especially Theresa who said directly: "Didn't she go see your colleagues?"
"Yes, she went to see her." Ryan smiled and nodded repeatedly: "She went to Sallya Nursing Home and sat in front of my colleague's bed for two minutes, asking for help. I was there at the time."
As he spoke, Ryan's expression began to change more subtly: "Do you know? The expression on Ms. Sally's face when she visited was that she was touched by herself. When she expressed condolences, her words were filled with the feeling of being loved. The happiness, I could tell, was that she was getting a lot of satisfaction from tossing my colleague."
"But my colleague is not a fool. After this incident, he found an excuse to say that it might not be appropriate and proposed to break off the relationship. Then dear Ms. Sally became furious and spread the word that my colleague was a scumbag and among men. of scum.”
Aurora:"…………"
Teresa: “…………”
After a pause, Aurora held her forehead weakly: "No wonder Sally is almost forty years old and still alone."
"After that incident, I didn't have any good impression of you witches of Gloria at that time." Ryan nodded with a smile: "I thought at the time, no one I would look for would look for you witches."
"That's wrong." Aurora immediately caught the core of the whole problem: "Then why did you choose to become a partner with Veronica later? Are you not contradicting yourself? Where is your chivalry?"
Ryan smiled bitterly and shook his head: "People can never escape the law of true fragrance, but please listen to me patiently first."
"As a man, I probably only have two tendencies in choosing a mate. The first is the tendency to consume, and the second is the tendency to help."
"Consumption tendencies focus on biology. I don't need her to do anything for me. Fair skin, good looks, long legs, stockings, high heels and glasses. This is my biological preference. In this case, I don't have many requirements for women. Gao, as long as he is obedient and takes care of my physical and psychological needs, I will give him love and accommodation, as well as care and a certain degree of tolerance."
Hearing Ryan's words, Aurora, who was wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, immediately turned red. Teresa thought of her own clothing preferences. She also blushed and nodded to express her understanding: "So Victoria Ronika satisfies your consumption tendency?"
"The second is the tendency to help." Ryan ignored Theresa's question: "The tendency to help is also very simple. I need the other person to be able to help me in adventure, war, and internal affairs. In this case, biological Learning is not so important, but what I want to emphasize is that in this case, I will neither be a licker nor provide care and accommodation, nor will I pay out real money for no reason. Both of us will They are independent individuals, there is no clear division of labor, and both parties are equal.”
"The Witches of Gloria can neither satisfy my tendency to consume, because witches like to be independent and have their own careers and magic to study, nor can they satisfy my tendency to help, because the witches of Gloria like to be lavished with money and coaxed along the way. Yes, after all, they are noble spellcasters, not ordinary people."
"Only Veronica is different, she is... different." Ryan finally concluded: "Apart from her, Sulia is also unique, a good match who can meet both of my needs at the same time. So when Francois proposed an engagement, I immediately agreed without even thinking about it, but now it seems that both Olica and Emilia have become like this, God knows what happened.”
"What about me?" Teresa asked unwillingly, "Am I so unbearable?"
"That's not the case." Ryan looked at the flames splashing in the fire. He smiled and shook his head: "When I knew that my partner was you, I refused at first, but I later discovered that even though you have a princess temperament, you are generally It's okay, not to the point where we can't get along with each other, but if we want to date, forget it. In fact, if you hadn't come to my territory and approached me proactively, we would have been ordinary friends for the rest of our lives."
"Your Excellency Ryan is so proud. Do you know how determined Theresa is to take the initiative to come here to find you?" Aurora said angrily: "How great do you really think you are?"
"How amazing am I? Ms. Aurora, you can go to the old world and ask anyone, how amazing am I?" Ryan looked at his mother-in-law with a sneer: "Why, you witches of Gloria are allowed to be picky, not allowed Do I have my own conditions?”
"..." Aurora was speechless for a moment.
"Mother!" Teresa always felt very embarrassed. Why was there always so much tension between Aurora and Ryan?
"Ms. Aurora, I want to say that in the marriage market, essentially, men compete with men for women, and women compete with women for men." Ryan stood up: "Rather than men competing with women."
"So you agreed to have a bachelor party?" Aurora said impatiently. After Ryan said this, her mind was a little confused.
"The reputation of the witches of Gloria in my territory is not very good." Ryan shook his head: "I admit that a large part of the reason is that some men are constantly frustrated in their attempts to pursue these witches and witch apprentices, so they vent their anger everywhere, secretly There are rumors that are unfavorable to you, and they are eager to demonize you so that your reputation will be damaged, so that they can have a balance in their hearts. I will send people to rectify this, but also, many small nobles and old guards are congratulating you. The dissatisfaction and complaints caused by the extremely poor experience with Witch Lan are also one of the reasons."
"I will strengthen management." Theresa said seriously.
"Very good, I understand. When the time is right, I will arrange it." Ryan lowered his head and thought for a moment, then said: "By the way, Theresa and Ms. Aurora, I have a request, can you help me? What?"
"What request? If mother and I can do it, we will definitely help you." Teresa also said seriously.
"Can you help me set up my own intelligence department?"
