Chapter 346, Wedding Eve
Brittany, late autumn, just a few days before Ryan's wedding.
Ryan and Teclis walked out of the fairy tower in the lake. One of them turned green and the other turned blue.
"...Tegris, do you think...Alaros listened to it?" Ryan was wearing a silk aristocratic costume, with his hands behind his back, and he smiled helplessly: "I don't think he listened to a word."
"Perhaps it was a mistake for him to come to see Lilith." Teclis, who was wearing the robes of the archmage, had a very ugly face: "You probably didn't tell Alaros that Lilith is here often, did you?"
"No." Ryan closed his eyes and shook his head again and again.
Ryan stayed in Helen Hilde for almost a week. During this period, the major forces signed countless agreements and reached a lot of consensus. This diplomatic event made many nobles either satisfied, joyful, or worried. , or frowning, everyone's needs and positions have been fully expressed, and contracts have been signed one after another.
The dwarves of Breeze Castle negotiated peace with the Bretons, and further exchanges between the Empire and the Bretons. Casvann, the Duke of Palaion, also signed an armistice agreement with Liv, the representative of the wood elves, and Casvanen made symbolic compensation. The Wood Elf warned the Duke of Palavon to stay away from the forest, and the entire Wood Elf had and only had Ryan as its trading partner.
The plan to unite the Anglund clan of Belega to attack the Blackstone Fortress is under preparation, and Ryan is not in a hurry to propose to Belega, because now both the Britannia and the Angland clan are in the post-war fatigue period, At this time, everyone needs to recover. Ryan first tried to ask Bellega if he needed food support. Faced with Ryan's inquiry, Belega hesitated and said: "The dwarves have encountered some difficulties. Of course we can solve them by ourselves, but human brothers The dwarves will remember it if they lend a helping hand."
The implication was that it was not enough, Ryan saw this and gave Belle some more food.
The next thing is that Ryan took Alaros to meet the fairy of the lake. As mentioned above, the fairy of the lake was noncommittal about whether to see his rumored object Alaros, but Ryan didn't care.
Teclis insisted that the High Elf High Magus considered Alaros and his wood elf army to remain a significant force.
After discussing for a period of time, because Teclis always insisted that the fairy of the lake meet Alaros, Ryan took Alaros to the fairy tower of the lake, and let Alaros meet the fairy of the lake.
Next, a scene happened that left both Ryan and Teclis dumbfounded.
Alaros recognized Lilith, and after recognizing that she was the elf goddess he had rescued in Athel Loren Forest, he was ecstatic and burst into tears. When Teclis and Ryan came back to their senses, they found that Alaros was singing to the nymph of the lake.
Ryan listened for a while, and the lyrics probably meant this.
"You are the strong wind in May, blowing through the stamens in my heart~"
"You are the fierce sun, breaking my fragile heart~"
"You are the eternal long summer, guarding my bright fragrance~"
"Your love wipes away all the slander of the world, your love erases the brand of shame for me, what has anything to do with me in the world? You are my universe, a ray of morning light in my life, please listen to my singing, Your figure is deeply rooted in my heart, without you, what kind of disaster will I face?"
"In the whole world, I have nothing to worry about except you."
There are many allusions and obscure ancient elven language in Alaros's lyrics, and Ryan can only hear the general meaning.
The fairy in the lake was quite proud, and deliberately glanced at Ryan with playfulness in her blue eyes.
I still have a lot of admirers, look, my champion, here is one of my admirers!
Alaros spent a lot of time expressing his longing for the goddess Lilith, and then saw that he planned to pick up his beloved goddess and run away,
Ryan and Teclis quickly stopped him. Alaros's aggressive actions even surprised the fairy in the lake. They hurriedly stopped Alaros from approaching him. Look at Alaros' posture. If the fairy in the lake is really brought back to the forest by him Maybe the first thing inside is to close the door and OOXX.
The three gods sat down to discuss matters. They discussed with the fairy in the lake about the coming of the final moment. Teclis was going to the empire to contact the emperor Karl Franz and told him to be prepared. Ryan's The opinion is that we also need to unite the power of the dwarves while trying to weaken the power of the northern barbarians.
The weaker the northern barbarians are, the fewer the Chaos army will go south at the last moment. Ryan believes that this is the only way to weaken the God of Chaos and Archaon's grasp of the future.
Ryan and Teclis discussed carefully and made a general plan.
As for Alaros... This guy didn't understand what Ryan and Teclis were talking about from beginning to end. He only had his goddess in his eyes, and he loudly stated that no matter what Lilith ordered, he would obey.
The Fairy of the Lake revealed the truth, that is, to fight against chaos, the "Crown of Lilith" must be recast. This powerful artifact allows the Fairy of the Lake to gain the power to approach the main god of elves.
The production of the Lilith Crown is very cumbersome, and the materials will be handed over to Teclis and Alaros to collect.
After the topic was discussed, Alaros wanted to ask him if he could stay here today. After getting a no answer, he begged Teclis and Lion to go out first. He needed some time alone with his goddess.
Only then did Teclis and Ryan have green faces and blue faces.
"He can't see us anymore, and he can't listen to us. For him, the lady is everything to him." Ryan sighed, and he continued: "This may be a short-term impact on our plan. It is beneficial, but in the long run..."
"Are you worried that he will make excessive demands on Lilith?" Teclis understood Ryan's meaning, and he slowly turned around with his staff: "...Yes, it is very possible."
The two reached a consensus very quickly, that is, Alaros is a licking dog. This famous hero of the wood elves doesn't care whether the world is threatened or not. He will be willing to join them only because of the fairy of the lake Lilith.
For him, for his beloved goddess, he is willing to give everything.
"I remember... Alaros should already have a partner, right?" Ryan asked curiously before Alaros came out.
"I already have two daughters." Teclis said calmly: "Actually...if you can get the help of Alaros, it doesn't matter if Lilith sacrifices a little, it's all to prevent the last moment."
Ryan frowned upon hearing this.
The implication of Teclis is that if he can win Alaros, he doesn't mind his goddess selling her hue to Alaros, because it is worth it.
Teclis is such a person. Compared with the enthusiasm and sensibility of his elder brother Prince Tyrion, Teclis has always been a representative of extreme rationality. For him, as long as he can achieve his goals, many things can be sacrificed , he will feel guilty, but he will not regret it.
"You don't seem to agree with me?" Teclis noticed that Ryan's brows were frowning, and he asked proactively.
"If this kind of thing happens for the first time, there will be a second time, and if there is a second time, there will be a third time." Ryan said in a deep voice: "Whether Ma'am is willing to let this go Will he have the energy to go through life and death? All he wants is his goddess! He doesn't care about outside things at all!"
"It makes sense for you to say that, but I think you are jealous." Teclis' face was still so calm, and his dead fish eyes squinted at Ryan: "You have selfish intentions."
"I didn't!" Ryan immediately argued.
"You have." Teclis did not continue to press, he nodded lightly: "But I also agree with your point of view, I was not thinking carefully before, and from the performance of Alaros, he can only use serious, Not reusable."
What Teclis means is that you can hand over many miscellaneous and tedious matters to Alaros, and he will be able to handle them well, but the most important things must not be entrusted to him, because Alaros is irrational, he is a A valiant warrior and a mighty hero, he prefers to use his spear and bow to solve problems rather than mind.
The two were still discussing, and Alaros came out. He looked a little lost: "She still rejected me."
"Lord Alaros?" Ryan wanted to know what happened to Alaros and the fairy in the lake.
"Everything is like a dream, and it was nothing in the end. From the time I rejected her in the forest, the ending was doomed." Alaros was still a little lost. The hero of the wood elves, the champion of Queen Alaier's God's Choice, barely pulled himself together: "Sorry, I need to be alone for a while."
"Please." Teclis stretched out his hand to signal Alaros to be free, and after watching the wood elf hero leave quickly, the High Archmage said bluntly: "It is obviously a case of courtship failure."
"Did you expect it?" Ryan's tone changed a bit. He had known for a long time that the fairy in the lake was destined not to give Alaros another chance.
"For sure." Teclis looked at Ryan meaningfully: "I know that Lilith has re-selected her future partner, but more importantly..."
"more importantly?"
"More importantly, licking the dog is doomed to nothing in the end."
"Are you talking about yourself?"
"...Come here, Ryan, let me show you a baby."
"I reject!"
…………
The wedding date is getting closer and closer. The great nobles of Brittania and the empire, the envoys of the dwarves and wood elves, and the special envoys of the high elves, Ryan's wedding ceremony will be unprecedentedly spectacular. In addition to the imperial emperor's coronation, There will not be so many forces gathered together.
The wedding scene had already been prepared a few weeks ago. The Holy Grail Knights of the Holy Grail Order and the Lake God Prophets of the Holy Maiden Order had already arranged the inside and outside of the Cathedral of the Fairy in the Lake, with piles of barley flour, wheat flour, and oat flour , oats, soybeans, and peas were stored for the wedding banquet, and hundreds of livestock were waiting to be slaughtered. In addition, the lake goddess Morgiana also opened her storage room, and a large amount of sugar, honey, cheese, and butter were collected. Taking it out, Francois took out his own inventory, and barrels of Winford's fine wine were transported to the Cathedral of the Fairies in the Lake.
Britannia also seems to hope to dilute the cloud of chaos invasion at the beginning of the year through this grand wedding. Ryan's reputation in this country is even worse for a while, so even the lords treat their serfs kindly during this period many.
The Marquis of Suria will not marry in alone, and her entire servant group and more than a dozen guardian knights will follow her to marry in. There are nearly two hundred people in total, from servants to maids to chefs. When it comes to stewards and guards, the female knight will have a whole team independent of Ryan. In addition, her fiefs in the two villages in Wenford Principality will also be retained.
These people have nothing to do with Ryan. It doesn't mean that after Suria married Ryan, these people are Ryan's subordinates. No, everything about them is very clearly divided. The servant group is only responsible to the Marquis and has nothing to do with the Earl , the two villages only provide taxes to the Marquis, and the money will not pass through Ryan's hands, and will be in the hands of the Marquis Suria's steward and court ladies.
Just two days before the big wedding, the last group and the most important guests finally arrived in the Earl of Glamorgan.
Late autumn, Sharon Forest, Angron's cabin in the woods.
Five colored lights descended from the sky.
The Primarch of the World Eater had already stood there waiting: "Brothers, you are really late enough, the day after tomorrow is Ryan's wedding ceremony."
"Angron..." An extremely indifferent voice looked at the Primarch of the World Eaters, who was dressed in shiny dwarven mithril plate armor and wielded two vibrating gold battle axes: "I really want to kill you."
Blood was still dripping from the Zhenjin battle axe, and Angron had several wounds on his body that had just been bandaged.
"Traitor... traitor..." A distorted and dry voice sounded casually.
"Here we are! My brother! Angron, you have completely changed back to your original form?!" A loud voice full of enthusiasm and inspiration: "This is really good news!"
"Welcome, brothers, welcome." Angron ignored the three people who were talking, and he looked at the Ultramarine Primarch Guilliman in blue Seiko power armor, and Magnu in yellow power armor. On Si: "Our new Imperial Regent and Astrowatcher are here too? I thought you wouldn't be here... Magnus, what's that thing around your neck?"
Magnus, all in scarlet, wore a collar around his neck, which was still shining.
"It's a bomb specially made by my father." Roboute Guilliman, the Primarch of the Ultramarines, had a troubled face: "In order to prevent Magnus from escaping, this bomb can accurately ensure that Magnus just stuns, and then It will not harm anyone nearby."
"Hahaha... who owns the switch?" Angron laughed.
"In the hands of Jonson." Guilliman put his gaze on Angron's side: "What is this? An unwelcome guest?"
A headless wreck of Khorne was lying down next to the hut in the forest. Its head was hung at the door of the hut in the forest. The head of the monster with four horns and a bull face was still dripping. blood, the body was cut into several sections.
"A bloodthirsty monster under Khorne came here to disrupt Ryan's wedding and was killed by me." Angron spat: "It has some strength, it claims to be the skull king of Khorne's first army, It took me a little work to kill it."
