Chapter 399, Homecoming

ps: Let me make a complaint here. Before g and w were engaged in re-enactment of chess pieces, I was very excited to find three chess pieces in the official store, which cost more than a thousand. Marshal K. Helberg, the three plastic villains spent six weeks across the ocean to receive the goods. After that, I found a big hammer hammer to help me OEM. He has known me for many years and gave me discounts and friend prices. The weather is cold and the coloring is slow, and it took a lot of time. I bought the chess pieces in early October, harvested them in November, and then sent them to the boss for OEM. It turns out that it is almost Chinese New Year and I haven’t finished it yet. It hurts. I will do it later I'm a sand sculpture when I touch a plastic villain with a hammer. Kuangsha Literature Network

The Old World, Brittania, the borders of the Duchy of Montfort and Bastogne.

A delicate carriage is slowly moving in the field.

There was a stove burning inside the carriage, and thick blankets and quilts covered the interior of the carriage. The carriage was shaking slightly with the action. The sky outside was very dark, and it looked like another snowy day.

Teresa Trovik, the sorceress of the Garland Council, woke up from her sleep: "Yeah"

Teresa woke up and found herself lying in the soft quilt. She wanted to struggle subconsciously, but the pain in her shoulder and right arm made her hum softly.

The sorceress immediately recalled the series of things she had experienced before, her face immediately turned red, she quickly covered herself with a quilt, her cold face was full of shame and joy, as if she was thinking about something .

However, there are other people in the car.

"Are you awake?" Veronica, who was leaning on the other side of the carriage, was wearing a Garland Flame Dress and a white fox fur coat. Her long black-brown hair fell down her shoulders and was covered with a quilt. Witch Lan looked a little pale, but she still put down the book in her hand, and said with a sneer, "Dreams come true, our little princess Jialan! Tell me, how do you feel?"

Teresa thought it was bad luck that this person was there.

She said nothing and covered her head with the quilt.

"Why, you still don't want to say it?" Veronica continued to sneer, "Are you still thinking about the aftertaste? It's been a few days!"

"What else?" Teresa finally decided to speak. She wanted to lift the quilt to fight back, but then the sorceress found that the injury on her shoulder was still not optimistic. She sighed and could only lie down resignedly: " I imagined many scenarios, but I didn't expect my first time with Ryan to be like this."

"What about the process? Don't change the subject. I'm asking you how you feel? I didn't ask you that." Veronica's sweet face was slightly sour: "Is it very comfortable?"

"It's... not bad." The sorceress whispered, "It's just that there is an injury...he has some concerns, so he is very gentle..."

"Well, just find some time later for Ryan to make up a few more rounds for you." Veronica said nonchalantly: "He's back to the territory now, so he should have more time, especially if you are injured. It's somewhat privileged."

"Then... what about you? How was your first time with Ryan?" Teresa took the opportunity to stir up the topic, and the sorceress chose to lie down and asked back.

"That was all many years ago. What else can I do? The poor witch couldn't find a gift to congratulate her partner on becoming a knight of the kingdom, so she took out a ribbon, tied a bow on her own, and wrapped herself I gave it to him." Veronica reached out and wiped her long black and brown shawl hair, and there was a pink bow on it.

Only then did Teresa recall her impression that Veronica always liked to tie a bow in her hair. It turned out that there was such a story.

The silver eyes of the sorceress gleamed, and she really envied Veronica now. The relationship between her and Ryan lasted the longest and longest.

After getting along with Ryan for a long time, the sorceress knows that on the surface, Ryan seems to be humorous and considerate, and he seems to be a good man.

But it is very difficult to really get into his heart, Veronica is his first woman,

In terms of getting along peacefully, she could feel that Ryan treated Veronica differently than he treated herself.

"I know what you're thinking. As I said, we are now two patients on the same card. I have no intention of arguing with you about who comes first. What I want to tell you is that our two female courtiers , This amount is enough, what do you think?" Veronica pulled her long hair behind her ears, revealing her pearl earrings.

Teresa nodded silently. This is what she wanted too. The number of two spellcaster female courtiers is enough. No outsiders can and should not join.

It seems that a tacit agreement has been reached.

"What about him?" Teresa asked.

"He's outside, with Mrs. Suria, Marquis Julius and Sir Gerald." Veronica picked up the book again: "The Duke heard about Hemgart, so he hastened to send Ten knights and dozens of knight retinues were led by His Excellency Julius and Sir Jerrod to meet them, and it is said that His Excellency Duke Francois is still waiting at the border with people."

Surya's family background and talent... The sorceress can only sigh in her heart.

"I remember that Julius is Lady Suria's brother, and Sir Gerald is..."

"It's the cousin of Duke Francois, that is, the cousin of Mrs. Suria." Veronica read with an ancient high elf book, and there was some sneer in her tone: "Don't think so much, especially Lovek, the genealogy of the Aintree family can be traced back to the founding knight King Arthur himself. This is a big family that has been passed down for thousands of years. Don't think that your mother is a female elder of the Garland Council, and she can be compared with Mrs. Suria .”

"I didn't!" The sorceress was a little annoyed.

Veronica couldn't stop laughing when she heard this, she could tell that Teresa thought so.

"Did he engrave that for you?" Veronica continued to tease the sorceress.

"What was engraved?"

"The spirit pattern on the lower abdomen."

"It's...it's a pain, but it's also a reassuring...comfortable feeling." The scene of the sorceress covering her face with the quilt, being held in Ryan's arms and imprinting the spirit pattern on her lower abdomen may be the scene that she will never forget all her life. can't forget.

"That's good." Veronica also secretly reached out and pressed her belly.

Mine is mature enough to have a baby.

…………

Outside the carriage, the sky was clear and cold after a heavy snow day. On the field of the Principality of Bastogne, the sight of the knights was covered by white snow and rolling hills. In the distance, the snow scene of the Ardennes Forest was very spectacular and gorgeous.

The knights of the Kingdom of Brittania wearing gorgeous burqas and silver plate armor are marching in the field. Their gorgeous decorations show the identity and status of the knights and lords. The kingdom knights of the Principality surrounded the dwarves' wagons and carriages, and marched across the snowy field.

Ryan's brother-in-law Julius and cousin Sir Jerrod were both present, Ryan and Suria were also slowly moving on pure-blooded elf horses, and King Bellegar of Eight Peaks was sitting in a car with his legs stretched out. On the dwarf truck, he was counting the goods, but his eyes always glanced at a few knights who were chatting from time to time.

He was eavesdropping on the knights' conversation.

"Ryan, there seems to be a lot of noise in your carriage." Suria, a heroic female knight in military uniform, wore a marquise dress and a mink coat on the outside. She smiled and said to Ryan.

"They? Two patients, what else can they do? At best, they quarrel. I'm used to it. I'd be surprised if they don't quarrel." Ryan sighed softly, and turned his head to Julius and Gero "I was taken aback that you would pick us up at the axe pass," De said.

Julius, Gerald and Ryan are already a family, and there is no need to use polite language and honorifics. Julius kept a straight face. He looked at his sister's happy face and nodded without a trace. , and then said in a deep voice: "Father was very anxious when he found out about Hemgart. Not only did he send us to pick you up, but he also led two hundred knights to pick you up and Suria himself on the border of the Principality. "

"Yeah, we didn't realize how serious the situation was until we came to Monteverl Castle. The whole of Hemgard had been destroyed, and the Duke of Flkard was still leading the knights to fight the Skaven, biting the pass with an ax It's in chaos, and God knows how much this trade route will be restored to its former size when everything is over." Gerald stroked his goatee, with a bit of pity on his serious face: "Fulcade is still so stubborn, he Insist on solving the problems in your own territory by yourself.”

"The ax biting the pass is the lifeblood of Fulkade, and he won't allow it." Ryan shook his head.

Even in the kingdom, the Duke of Furkad is notoriously stubborn. He hates all alien races, including elves, including dwarves. Because of this, he accepts Ryan's blatant activities of wood elves and dwarves in his territory. The trade was very dissatisfied. For this matter, the Duke of Furkad had protested to the king many times and asked to deal with Ryan.

Richard had already suffered when he ordered Ryan before, and he knew that the king who had the support of the fairy of the lake behind Ryan was He Mui. After Furkad mentioned it a few times and saw that the king did not express his opinion, he knew in his heart that Ryan was the fairy of the lake It's hard to deal with the God's Chosen Champion, especially after meeting Ryan's older brothers at the wedding scene. Suo couldn't see it. When Ryan passed by the ax bite pass, the Duke used his busy military affairs as an excuse No face.

Ryan didn't find it strange. In this world, generally speaking, gods belong to gods, and mortals belong to mortals. Boderick, the Duke of Boldeiro, claims that he is the prince and descendant of the sea god. The nobles in the country don't like it. He still doesn't like his dual beliefs. Even though he has several demigod brothers and true god fathers, some big nobles still don't like him.

I just need to unite with the majority, it is impossible for everyone to like him.

And from another point of view, the Duke of Montfort’s treatment of the serfs in his territory may be the best in the entire kingdom. This duke not only established the almshouse system, but also cooperated with the Church of the Goddess of Mercy. He often does charity. In his territory, there is not only a sanatorium for the goddess of mercy, but also the largest church of justice in the Kingdom of Britannia.

The Duke hates alien races, but he especially welcomes humans. The largest number of imperial people live in the Principality of Montfort.

"The relationship between the Duke of Furkad, the Duke of Berhemond, and his father is not good." Julius, who was wearing mithril rune knight plate armor and holding a unicorn golden cross helmet in his hand, faced Ryan. Said: "The territorial dispute between the Principality of Bastogne and the Principality of Montfort has never stopped since the founding of the country."

"The people of Bastogne are always arrogant, and the knights in this place are probably the most arrogant in the entire kingdom." Sir Gerald also said: "After all... this is the birthplace of Arthur, the founding king of knights."

"Yeah." Ryan nodded. Arthur, the founding king of knights, was not from Korona, he was from Bastogne, and he was the lord of the Bastogne tribe at that time. Before he met the fairy in the lake, he had slaughtered a real dragon. , so his family got the title of "Red Fire Dragon Family", and the Duke of Bastogne's family is also called "Red Dragon Family".

The Duke of Bohemond is a direct descendant of Arthur. The red dragon armor made of dragon skin after Arthur slays the dragon is still placed in Bastogne Castle.

Therefore, the knights of Bastogne look down on the knights of other principalities the most. They always clamor that the will and glory of the former king began here. The knights of this kingdom like to brag and boast about their glorious history.

However, they do have the capital to boast about. Almost all the nobles and lords of the Principality of Bastogne are Holy Grail Knights. The virtues and strength of the Holy Grail Knights are unquestionable, and they have a long lifespan. Therefore, the rule of this Principality is relatively stable.

"Recently, after seeing the effect of your reforms, Duke Bohemond has also started planning to change the tithe to a fixed tax." Gerald continued: "Since most of the lords and nobles are Holy Grail Knights, Therefore, compared with the gradual advancement of Brother François, the Duke of Bastogne faced much less resistance to reforms. , they prefer to pray for a long time in the Church of the Holy Grail."

"Then we can't expect all the nobles in the kingdom to be Holy Grail Knights." Ryan complained: "That's too unrealistic."

Both Julius and Jerrod are a little envious of Ryan being able to become a Holy Grail Knight at such a young age. Julius has already planned to start the Holy Grail expedition. Although Jerrod is older than Julius However, they are still familiar with territorial affairs and accumulating experience, and it is still far away to be able to carry out the Holy Grail expedition.

"By the way, Duke Hubald has finally completed the Holy Grail trial and returned to the Principality of Carcassonne. The Dukedom has ended its history of being jointly governed by the Prophet of the Lake God and the Earl of the Regent, and returned to the rule of Duke Hubald." You Lius frowned and said, "I don't know Duke Hubald's attitude towards the current situation in the kingdom, but he is very interested in your goods, Ryan, and has sent people to propose to import dwarf equipment and wood from your territory many times." Spirit medicine."

"I'll talk about everything when I go back." Ryan nodded. Duke Hubald's personality was very harsh and cold. Being able to offer to trade with Ryan actually showed his attitude.

After marching for several days, everyone has approached the Sharon Forest.

"Ahead is the Kuyleu ancient tomb belt."

"Before the founding of Brittany, it was the cemetery group of the Cuileu tribe, one of the 14 Breton tribes. My father was already waiting for us there with the army."
