Chapter 322, The Night After the War

The flame was ignited in the hall, and the Lake God Prophet Anara gave Karad a few words at last, and then stepped into the flame with a sad smile.

"No! Sister! No!" Callard wanted to reach out, but was discouraged by everyone: "Kalad! Calm down!"

"No, sister, you don't have to do this!" Karad wanted to say again, but Anara's figure had disappeared into the flames, and her white figure withered in the flames.

Before leaving, she leaned over Jules, showing a smile, and stroked the peaceful face of the Holy Grail Knight Commander with her hand. The fire was burning, and the lake god prophet dissipated the power bestowed on her by the fairies in the lake. engulf.

"It's her choice, Karad." Dalhydra grabbed Karad's clothes: "You have to respect her choice. In this country, no one can order a lady's prophet of the lake god..."

"I'm the only one left, really I'm the only one left." Calad pushed Dalhaide away dejectedly, and walked out of the auditorium alone.

He also made up his mind to start his Holy Grail expedition.

…………

After the war, Lyonnaise was already in ruins. Except that the inner castle area was not captured, the entire castle was actually in a mess. The barbarians would rob everything they saw and smash the door when they saw it. If it weren't for the knight army led by Ryan to carry enough food, the castle may be in danger of running out of food.

Hubald led 3,000 knights and 3,000 knight retinues to pursue the fleeing barbarians. The defeated barbarians boarded the dragon boat and retreated while the knight army was besieging the Scarlet Guard. When he was very flustered and left the old, weak, and sick, Hubald gave a simple order to these old, weak, and sick, that is, all of them should be executed.

At night, on the tower of Lyonne-Seneborg.

A three-story tower in the inner castle was assigned to Ryan and his servants to live in. The decoration inside was quite exquisite and luxurious. The hero of Brittany was wearing a bathrobe and sitting on the bed to rest. The area was still bandaged, and a soft quilt was covering his body.

He was not there, and Suria was the supreme commander of the knight army. No one dared to disturb the fairy of the lake, the chosen champion, to rest. The countess was dealing with various affairs below.

Ryan was thinking about the outcome of this war.

Egil's death meant a lot.

Egil is the king of Scalins, the overlord of the northern wasteland, and the lord of the Norse tribes,

The Chosen Champion of Khorne, hunter of countless fearsome creatures and nightmare to southerners, his death meant much.

First of all, the barbarians lost their leaders. There is no doubt that these countless barbarian tribes lost their leaders. Egil relied on his great prestige and strong personal strength to establish a tribe centered on the Scalins, surrounded by a large number of A kingdom where small tribes pay tribute in peacetime and send troops in wartime, this kind of kingdom would be very powerful when Egil was alive, but as long as he died, everything would be wiped out, and this system would collapse instantly.

Secondly, it can be said that Scalins lost all its elites in this war. Usually, this tribe controls a large number of small barbarian tribes, relying on the elites and a large number of troops. Now, the elites of Scalins are here If all battles are over, the future will range from three to five years to ten years or even longer. The pressure on the empire and Brittany to plunder the northern barbarians will be greatly reduced, which is undoubtedly a good thing.

In the end, Brittania also had to face her own dilemma.

This chaotic invasion caused Britannia to suffer heavy losses. Lyonnaise also lost more than half of the total mobilization of the Principality. Four Holy Grail Knights including Jules died in battle. The reinforcements who came also lost more than 40%. After this battle, the strength of the nobles in the north of the kingdom was greatly damaged. It may take several years for them to recover.

Ryan was still thinking about what he could gain from this war when his door rang.

"Dong dong dong ~ Ryan, it's me, can I come in?" A mature voice came from outside the door.

"Please come in." Ryan knew who was coming as soon as he heard the voice. His room was located on the third floor, and the first to third floors were full of knights. There were Veronica and Teresa outside. With the magic circle set up, it is impossible for anyone to sneak in here.

The tall and slender figure of the sorceress appeared behind the door. Teresa seemed to have just taken a shower, her hair was still moist and her face was slightly flushed. Gradient lapel dress, from the slits of the dress, her tender long legs can be seen looming.

"You are very leisurely. Your fiancée is still downstairs holding endless meetings with a group of nobles." Teresa's silver eyes were shining, she moved a chair, and then took out a chair from behind her. A glass bottle and two goblets: "Would you like a drink?"

"Teresa, I'm injured and can't drink." Ryan said with some complaints.

"This is not wine, this is fresh orange juice, and I added a little medicine in it to ensure that you can heal faster." The sorceress looked narrowly at the somewhat embarrassed Ryan: "You are injured, knight, have a drink. "

"Well, I took it for granted." Ryan took the goblet, and the mouth was sweet and sour orange juice, with some deep taste in it. Obviously, the sorceress covered up the medicine under the taste of the juice, allowing him to Good entrance.

After a glass of fruit juice, Ryan put down his book and chatted with Teresa: "Suria is down there?"

"Well, Miss Suria...or it should be said that Mrs. Suria is in a meeting below. The war has captured a lot of money. I really don't know what kind of place the northern wasteland is. Why are the barbarians so poor in all supplies? , but all kinds of precious metals are very rich? We seized gold, silver and copper worth more than 30,000 kronor in the barbarian camp, and there are countless rare metals. The dwarf you brought...is called Dugan Right, he said he has never seen so many good things in his life." Teresa raised one of her long legs, and she could see that she was very relaxed: "Suria hopes to help you fight for more benefits .”

"The northern wasteland is a magical country, Teresa, where the products are barren, and it is blown by the wind of chaos all the year round. but hidden in dire peril are also riches—inexhaustible, inexhaustible mines of gold, iron, and other mountains containing veins of precious metals." Lion said with a smile: "You don't see too many At that time, the Nords were at war with the barbarians, but the trade continued intermittently. Some small tribes in the south of Norsca used a large amount of ore and metal to exchange food and daily necessities with the Nords. Many trading posts are important to the kingdom. The source of the ore...it's just that no one has put this matter on the surface."

"Hmm." Teresa answered absently. She looked at Ryan with an obscure expression behind her butterfly-patterned glasses, which looked like pride, but also worry and confusion.

Ryan saw it, and he took the initiative to speak: "What's the matter? Teresa?"

"It's nothing... have you broken through the sanctuary?" The sorceress stared at the handsome man leaning on the bed, but still asked her own question: "I can feel that your strength has become stronger."

"Yeah, what's wrong? I've been stuck at the legendary peak for a long time." Ryan grabbed Teresa's cold little hand: "Is there anything strange about my breakthrough?"

"Thirty years old, you have become a strong man in the sanctuary at the age of thirty, and there is no second one except His Majesty Ludwig, the savior of the world one hundred and sixty years ago... And, Ryan, your breakthrough is as good as I imagined There is a difference between them." Teresa was obviously happy with Ryan's initiative, she held Ryan's hand in turn, and said in a low voice: "Do you know how my mother broke through to the peak of legend and advanced to the sanctuary?"

"Appreciate further details."

"My mother locked herself on the top floor of the Wizard Tower for nearly three months, and the overflowing frost energy prolonged the winter for three months. It was not until a beam of light soaring into the sky enveloped the Wizard Tower that Mother broke the ice and appeared, declaring that she had entered the world. High-level sanctuary, and Ryan, your advanced sanctuary is like eating and drinking water, except for the powerful aura that flashed across your body at that time, I can hardly confirm that you are already a strong sanctuary." Trey Sha shook her head, she held Ryan's hand: "You are really special, really."

Sanctuary means the limit of mortals, and advanced sanctuary means that mortals have reached the limit of life in a certain aspect. Every sanctuary powerhouse is the most precious resource of their respective forces, and they will not use it unless they are forced to.

From another point of view, it is actually not easy for ordinary people to reach the limit in a certain aspect, just like the 100-meter race, ordinary athletes can run for 13 or 4 seconds, the school team and the provincial team can run for 12 seconds, and the national team can run for 10 seconds. One second, the time seems to be shortened by one second, but the effort and price to be paid are geometrically increased.

But Ryan is the son of the emperor, and he was born without such shackles. The threshold of the sanctuary may be out of reach for ordinary people, and it may take a long time to accumulate, from quantitative change to qualitative change, but for Ryan, these do not exist , When the strength is reached and the growth is enough, he will naturally break through.

"Every situation varies from person to person, Teresa, don't force yourself." Ryan's tone was soft: "It's enough to be yourself, we are partners."

Teresa heard that Ryan was deliberately changing the subject, but she liked the Earl's attitude now. The sorceress no longer cared about this issue, and her tone became a bit complaining: "Are we still partners? The one next to you now There are so many women, there is a fiancée, a partner, and two personal maids. The contract between us has ended in Marienburg. Now I am just an expired partner, oh, and I am still an old woman in her thirties~ "

"Don't say that, Teresa, thirty years old is the beginning of your best years. Since you came here to find me, our contract has continued and there have been new developments." Ryan changed slightly Make the down pillows on your back more comfortable: "I never break my promise."

"Also, my sorceress, don't underestimate your charm." Ryan closed his eyes and inhaled the fragrance from Teresa deeply: "The lavender on your body smells so good...you are like snow on a high mountain Like a lotus, it is not easy to see your beauty, dear Teresa, you are so beautiful tonight."

"Lian~" Teresa's eyes flickered for a moment, and the sorceress only felt that Ryan's words were scratched. Obviously, she deliberately went to take a bath first, changed into a beautiful dress, and specially applied perfume. Come to see him.

The sorceress carefully checked Ryan's wound, and said angrily: "Are you going to use this kind of sweet talk to fool me from beginning to end? I'm not a little girl like Emilia. You can make her feel good with a few compliments." Happy days."

"Miss Teresa, sweet words have to be divided into people. Obviously, facing you, I just subconsciously said what I said from the bottom of my heart. I am a knight, and honesty is a virtue." Ryan then laughed: "And you, let me easily fulfill the truth." With this virtue, you are simply my lucky star."

"..." The expression on Teresa's face changed again and again, and finally she lowered her body helplessly: "I really lost to you."

Cold lips were pressed against Ryan's mouth, and the room became quiet again, except for the sound of tangled tongues.

"Boom~" A few minutes later, the door was knocked again: "Honey? Can I come in?"

"Come in!"

Veronica, who was wearing a pure black dress, pushed the door in. She noticed that Teresa was blushing and was smoothing out the wrinkles on her clothes. Witch Jialan laughed a few times with interest: "Ha Haha~ Looks like I'm bothering you, Trovik, maybe I should get out and give you another five minutes?"

"Veronica!" Ryan shouted dissatisfiedly: "You come up now, I want you to understand!"

"That's not okay, my dear, Mrs. Suria, me and Trovik have all emphasized that you are injured now, so let us not spend the night with you." Veronica shook her head quickly, she was Ryan kissed on the face: "But obviously someone wants to come and eat."

"No, I'm just afraid that Ryan will be alone, so I came to talk to him." Teresa looked very calm on the outside, and she straightened her clothes: "You must be here for something?"

"There is good news, Ryan, didn't you keep saying that you wanted to make a handy ax for Brother Angron, but you didn't have any raw materials?" Veronica was still smiling, leaning on Ryan's shoulder : "Now there is."

"Zhenjin?" Ryan became more energetic: "Have you found Zhenjin?"

For it was not only Angron who didn't have a weapon at hand, his hammer was shattered, and he needed a new one too.

Lane also needs Vibranium.

"Yes, not only did we find a lot of vibranium in the barbarian camp, but... my dear, guess where else there is vibranium?" Veronica deliberately kept it a secret.

"Could it be...?"
