Chapter 513, Witch Visiting Group
Looking at the man in his early thirties, Aurora, as the female elder of the Garland Council and a strong man in the sanctuary, felt mixed feelings.
When she met Ryan for the first time, the other party was still a somewhat shy knight-errant. Aside from thinking that this boy was quite handsome, Aurora didn't take him seriously at all. It was a chance meeting , Ryan stood and talked to her almost the whole time, and Aurora didn't care at all.
This is a common problem among the female casters of the Jialan Council.
After Ryan defeated the Beastman Beast King "Finger" Gore at the age of 22, was granted the title of Knight of the Kingdom and joined the White Wolf Knights, Aurora began to feel that this young man was a little different, and she began to call him "Norman" When Norman was suffering from rheumatism due to old age, Aurora also offered to lend a helping hand and visited the territory of Auterna twice.
That is to say, Aurora was thinking about nurturing her at that time. Her daughter gradually grew up and wanted to choose a good husband. As for the poor and down-to-earth Veronica? At that time, if she uses a little trick, she won't be able to keep Ryan.
So does Ryan have a crush on their mother and daughter?
What is certain is that at least there is no ill feeling, because at the banquet where Ryan became a knight of the kingdom, this guy also made a black history of pretending to drop the spoon under the table, and then secretly watching them... This kind of black history.
This is also the reason why she sent her daughter Teresa to Ryan to perform missions together. The sanctuary witch did have a little thought in her heart. She felt that Ryan had great potential, and maybe he could become a powerful lord in the future. Their mother and daughter are the biggest help outside the parliament.
Within the parliament, the internal struggle between Aurora and Speaker Margarita has been going on for decades, and both sides urgently need more foreign aid.
However, Ryan's growth has exceeded Aurora's expectations. This young man is now a famous human hero in the old world, and even a Holy Grail Grand Knight.
Aurora not only failed to achieve her goal, but also lost a daughter.
I don't know how Teresa was completely captured by Ryan. Not only did she build a wizard tower here, but she didn't even go back to the parliament. Aurora looked at the smiling Ryan himself and felt quite annoyed in her heart. The young man in front of him had to respectfully stand in front of him with his head bowed to speak, but now he was faintly taking the initiative.
But she still has to keep the enthusiasm on her face, because Ryan is no longer what he used to be. He is not only a powerful earl, one of the most powerful nobles in southern Brittany, but behind him is the Church of the Fairies of the Lake. And the support of the Knights of the Holy Grail.
Aurora didn't have time to think,
Ryan had already started to applaud. Following the Earl's move, a dozen knights and dozens of heavily armed soldiers near the winery applauded almost simultaneously.
"Your territory is simply a pearl in the south of Brittania. Your achievements... are as dazzling as the morning stars in the northern sky." Aurora's voice was deep, and it took her a little effort to squeeze out this sentence Enthusiastic words: "You are safe, Teresa, my daughter, how are you doing?"
"I'm fine, mother, I hope you will have the honor to visit my wizard tower this time." Teresa was very excited about Aurora's arrival,
"I'm looking forward to it." Seeing her daughter with a good face and luxurious clothes, Aurora nodded silently in her heart.
When was the last time you said such a compliment? Aurora almost forgot.
But times have changed. Becoming a strong man in the sanctuary at the age of 30 or becoming a strong man in the sanctuary at the age of 60 are two concepts. Facing Ryan's current status, even Aurora has to lower his stance and talk about equality. .
"Hahaha, Ms. Aurora, we have known each other for many years. You don't have to praise me like this. I am not used to it. I think it's awkward for you to say it." Ryan said with a smile: "It's cold outside, I have already arranged a banquet, and I have invited the visitors from the Garland Council to participate."
So official! So formal! Listening to Ryan's words, Aurora frowned almost subconsciously.
Has the shy boy in his teenage years turned into this kind of mature and dignified man who is full of aristocratic politeness and deep in the city?
The mature beauty only felt a little irritated in her heart. She still liked the young knight-errant who was less than twenty years old and stood in front of her with his head bowed and answered, rather than the fairy in the lake who entrusted her with a false snake in front of her. .
The little irritability in her heart will not affect the long-sleeved and dancing witch of the sanctuary. With a warm smile on her face, she moved away slightly, and everyone noticed that there were about twenty witches walking out behind Aurora. , they uniformly wore fiery red Garland robes and standard knee-length dresses, and the clothes on their bodies were all made of high-quality fabrics. Among them were twelve official witches and eight witch apprentices. The ages of the witch apprentices were obviously All under the age of sixteen, it looked like they were the next batch of apprentices lucky enough to be sent to study with Teresa.
The weather was very cold, and most of the witch apprentices were shivering. Seeing Ryan asking questions, they all looked at Aurora expectantly.
"Well then, let's go in, please!"
"Please, Ms. Aurora."
A sumptuous banquet has already been arranged in the hall of the winery. The maids led by Sylvia and Olika served a variety of local Bretanian dishes on the long long table, all served in silver. The cutlery and vats of wine from the Duchy of Winford all show Lane's current affluence.
Behind the window on the third floor of the winery, Suria and Veronica were still standing and chatting, and the female knight said to Veronica playfully: "It can be seen that this elder Jialan is not used to complimenting others. .”
"She is used to being begged by others. This woman has always been strong." Veronica held her delicate face with her small hands in black lace gloves. In the Kingdom of Nord, those nobles asked Aurora to help them. When the nobles came to Aurora's wizard tower to seek help from her, Aurora could tell them to get out loudly. They don't dare to be disrespectful in the slightest, otherwise they will end up being blown away by a spell."
"Aren't there any powerful male nobles?" Surya asked with interest.
"Yes, but not many." Veronica shook her head: "You also know that the northern part of the empire and the Nord Kingdom are located in bitter cold, with few resources and years of war with northern barbarians. People often can only barely eat and wear, can they concentrate on cultivation? How many, even legendary powerhouses are rare. To cultivate a sanctuary powerhouse, you must not only lay a solid foundation when you were young, get guidance from famous teachers, but also have enough resources and gods, which is too difficult. "
"I see." Suria nodded, and the female knight stood up: "Since Ms. Aurora is here, let's go down to meet her as the master!"
The elegant countess also appeared to say hello to Aurora, and Suria approached slowly with a smile on her face and said, "Welcome very much, Ms. Aurora from the Garland Council, your arrival has made our winery flourish." Shenghui, on behalf of all the nobles and serfs in the Earl of Glamorgan, and the family of the Duke of Winford, the 'Pure' Redmond, one of the first twelve Holy Grail Knights, I welcome you."
Hearing this series of titles, the smile on Aurora's face stagnated. The elder Jialan looked at Ryan's wife Suria for a while, and sighed in her heart, thinking that as the news showed, this lady of Ryan The wife is the real daughter of a duke, a nobleman, and her strength is no less than Teresa: "Hello, Mrs. Suria."
"Welcome, Ms. Aurora, on behalf of the Lady of the Lake, the Knights of the Holy Grail and the Order of the Holy Maiden, I welcome you." The lake goddess Morgiana also appeared, and she didn't seem to particularly welcome Aurora's arrival , just simply said hello, and then sat down next to Ryan without hesitation, surrounded Ryan on the left and right with Surya, and Morgiana even stuck to Ryan on purpose so that he could not secretly talk to Aurora. pull to speak.
This kid's status is not what it used to be. Even the most powerful lake god and witch in this country will personally participate in this banquet, right? The mature and beautiful Aurora only felt the pressure on her shoulders, but out of a woman's instinct, she faintly felt that Morgiana seemed to harbor deep hostility towards her.
It may be because the Lake God Witch, as the leader of the local religious and magical forces in Brittania, doesn't like herself. It makes perfect sense to think so. Aurora greeted Morgiana, and she remained a little stiff all the time. enthusiastic smile.
Then there was Veronica, whom Witch Garland greeted simply: "Hello, Ms. Trovik."
"Hello, Ms. Bernadotte." Aurora replied briefly and lukewarmly.
These two witches are opposites in any camp, and they don't even bother to say a polite word.
Everyone is seated, and the banquet begins.
In winter, the lively banquet makes the originally deserted atmosphere of the winery become hotter. There is no doubt that the person who is most interested in the banquet is the sorceress Teresa. She sits beside her mother, holding her hand and saying: This and that, Ryan also toasted frequently, and the entire witch visiting group received a warm welcome.
Aurora brought the latest high-yielding grain seed invented by the Garland Council. This grain can survive part of the extremely cold and extremely harsh Kislev Ice Field. After the research, the grain production will go up to another level.
At the same time, Aurora also brought new technologies about golems and magic crystal cannons. Powerful battle golems can be produced in Veronica and Teresa's wizard towers, and magic crystal cannons can be installed on castles. Or the top of the wizard's tower, it is said that this crystal cannon can wipe out a small army with a single charge.
A group of green-skinned boys in the northern troll country of Kislev had the honor to experience the power of the magic crystal cannon. More than a hundred green-skinned boys were blasted to pieces. Now this magic crystal cannon is ready to be installed On the wall of White Wolf City, it was named "Ulric's Thunder" by Elector Boris.
Aurora came here to send the drawings this time.
Of course, the magic crystal cannon is expensive, but there is no reason not to want such a powerful war machine, Ryan. He accepted the blueprint, thinking that when the banquet is over, he will invite the dwarf engineer Dugan-Tiehan and members of the Angrund clan. Chief Engineer Hal Haver-Gold Digger Look at the blueprint, how to make this magic crystal cannon.
Give me one too!
In return, Lane will provide the Council of Garland with rare magical plants and many valuable goods from the Wood Elves, as well as imported spellbooks from the High Elf Safray Wizarding Kingdom.
If the Garland Council of high-precision magic books can still import a little from Marienburg, the most precious thing is the scarce goods of the wood elves. The guys in this group of forests are all brains. For Ryan trade, no matter how the major forces in the old world think of a way, the wood elves will always shoot the envoys into a sieve with bows and arrows, and then let one go back alive.
From Ryan's point of view, as a lord, he hopes to diversify the forces in his territory, and does not want the power of the fairies in the lake to dominate. Therefore, Ryan is very welcoming and enthusiastic about Aurora's arrival. Yes, especially now that Teresa has become his female courtier, the cooperation between this mature and beautiful mother-in-law and Ryan seems logical.
After the meal, Ryan arranged the guest room for Aurora and his team, who were exhausted from the journey, to have a good rest: "Ms. Aurora, I have already arranged the guest room. You have worked hard from afar. Please take a good rest. If you need anything, you can talk to the maid. Chief Sylvia said, or you can tell me directly if you feel it necessary."
"Any need?" Aurora had a smile on her face, and she stared at Ryan's face: "I just hope that His Excellency Ryan treats me better, don't be so awkward, I will be very happy."
"Hehe~ it's my problem." Ryan smiled when he heard the words, and he admitted his mistake frankly. The count himself took the little hand of the sorceress and said softly to Teresa: "Dear Teresa, you and Ms. Aurora also have a lot of problems. Haven't seen you for a long time? Just stay here tonight."
Teresa nodded when she heard the words. The sorceress really wanted to have some private conversations with her mother: "What about you? Ryan? You and your mother haven't seen each other for a long time, do you want to stay and chat?"
"No, I have something else to do." Ryan shook his head. He seemed to have something important to do. After arranging the stay of the visiting witch group, the Earl himself left in a hurry.
After Ryan's figure disappeared into the corner, the smile on Aurora's face immediately disappeared. The mother and daughter walked into the guest room. All the furniture in the luxurious room was available. Aurora closed the door and set up a magic circle , put his cowhide leather bag on the table in the room, sat down, sighed, and then looked at the somewhat embarrassed female sorceress with a half-smile: "Satisfied now? My daughter?"
"Mother!" Teresa sat opposite Aurora. The sorceress was a little excited, but she didn't know where to start: "Lyan is just a little busy."
"Well, it's normal for a man to be busy, and it's also a sign of his excellence, especially for a man like Ryan." Aurora took off the fox fur coat outside, revealing her proud figure, St. The wave of mana on the witch's body fluctuated back and forth, and she sighed softly: "But I still like the submissive boy who stood in front of me back then, but now Ryan seems too mature, so mature that I doubt whether you can control it." To live with such a man, my daughter, I know you too well, you are not active enough in daily relationships, and you don't know how to use small actions to please men."
"Lian is not that kind of person." Teresa shook her head again and again: "He treated me very well, if it weren't for his full help and the invitation of dwarf engineers and dwarf craftsmen, my wizard tower would not have been so easy to build. "
"He will accept you and whether you are likable enough are not the same thing." Aurora shook her head, and the sanctuary witch looked at Teresa and sighed: "I regret that I promised you to come here now." The wizard tower is built here. I encouraged you before because I wanted you to be Ryan's wife, but now, I don't want you to stay by Ryan's side, but you have become Ryan's female courtier again. .”
"He is the man I like, and I won't regret it!" Regarding this, Teresa was particularly determined. The sorceress walked to Aurora's side with her two long legs and sat down: " You'll help me, won't you, mother?"
"My daughter, your personality is exactly the same as when I was young!" Aurora lovingly caressed Teresa's glamorous face and long black hair, which were very similar to herself. The sanctuary witch still loved herself after all. Daughter: "Aren't I here? Mother will help you."
"But there is one thing you have to tell me honestly." Aurora suddenly asked with some playfulness: "You are already with Ryan, right?"
"Why...why are you asking this all of a sudden?" Teresa blushed suddenly.
"Tell me, or mother won't help you." Aurora looked at her daughter's embarrassed look with great interest: "How many times a week? How is he doing? With his physique and ability, he should be good. I Judging by the appearance of his wife Suria, she is obviously well nourished."
"Two or three times a week, Ryan... is still very gentle, and it's very comfortable to be with him." Teresa lowered her head, and it took a long time to say a few words: "And it's not like you don't understand his hobbies... ..."
