Chapter 583, Midsummer Night's Sato Technique (Realism)

PS: Asking for tickets in the new month, here are 4600 words for this chapter!

At the door of the bathroom, everything was ready. Two middle-aged men in their thirties were barebacked and wrapped in a towel, ready to go in for a hot spring.

Strictly speaking, there are no hot springs under Ryan's Duke Castle, but the dwarves' uncanny craftsmanship and tunnel technology are really powerful. Without hot springs, they just managed it through steam technology and mine tunnel technology.

It is said that Suria asked for it because she heard that soaking in hot springs is good for her body. At that time, Ryan was fighting abroad, and he listened to Suria's internal and external matters, so the hot spring was naturally built.

There is a golden water basin at the door, and water is coming out of it through a beautiful faucet made by a dwarf, and the sound of splashing water permeates the door of the bathroom.

Alfred was a little strange. He walked to the basin and muttered, "I understand the truth. Why is there a golden basin at the door with water in it?"

"It probably means washing your hands in the golden basin." Ryan smiled. He stretched out his hand and washed in the basin: "Wash your hands, wash your hands in the golden basin, Ah Fu, remember, don't be a villain in the future."

"Take the villain?" Alfred didn't quite understand, but he didn't care too much. When he saw Ryan washing his hands, he also washed his hands in a decent manner: "Okay! I won't be a villain again!"

The scalding hot spring water is ready, and there is dense mist in the tiled bathroom. Ryan and Alfred tested the water temperature and felt that it was almost the same, so they immersed their bodies in the hot spring water.

"Wow~ So cool!" Alfred let out a satisfied sigh. The body of the Templar Captain was covered with scars. In the years of experience, Alfred also paid a lot of price, including his There are many burn marks on the back, which is the huge price paid when conquering Mousilon Castle.

Similarly, Ryan has streamlined muscles, and there are also dense scars on his chest and back. Since he left Autergne and the warm little castle of his adoptive father, he has experienced countless hardships. A lot of scars were added, including those left by Carlos, the number one under Tzeentch, then those left by Landuin, and then those left by Matthew Bard.

These are his military medals.

"Oh, Ah Fu, you have a good figure!" Ryan also immersed himself in the water, covered his head with a towel, and said with a smile: "I heard that Mr. Alfred was very brave in the recovery of Mu Xilong?"

"Just kidding!" Alfred was a little smug. He stretched out his hand and pointed a thumb at himself: "I'm super brave, okay?"

"Hahaha,

Not bad, the shoulders are quite strong. "Ryan reached out and pinched Alfred's shoulder.

"Ryan, what are you doing!" Alfred felt that Ryan was making fun of himself, he stretched out his hand to strangle Ryan's neck, and the muscles on his arms tensed up: "Hey, the future King of Knights, try this, wrestling Ritsuji, Alfred's mystery!"

"Wow!" Ryan was strangled and pressed into the water, and the hot hot spring water splashed all over his face. With a strange cry, he broke free from Alfred's attack, and cut Alfred's in turn. Arm, let him also choke a few mouthfuls in the hot spring water: "Look at my beast power! King's journey!"

"Hahahaha~"

"Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha~"

There were bursts of laughter and the sound of water splashing in the bathroom.

The two men in their thirties stopped arguing for a while. After the collision of sweat and muscles, Ryan and Alfred leaned aside, and Ryan suddenly said with great interest: "Ah Fu, I haven't planned yet. Are you looking for a girlfriend? You are a Templar commander now."

"I don't know." Alfred sweated a lot on his forehead. He leaned against the side of the hot spring pool and sighed in a low voice: "I always feel a little unconfident."

Ryan couldn't stop laughing. He reached out and scooped a spoonful of hot spring water on Alfred's face: "What's there to be unconfident about? Alfred, you go to Estalia now, but I can't, that Crowe Miss Dia will refuse again."

"But if that's the case, I really don't understand whether she wants Alfred, or a Templar commander with her own territory?" Alfred nodded, with some hesitation in his tone: "If she Just longing for my status and money?"

"Heh~ We can also think about it the other way around, you just want to find a girlfriend, not a wife." Ryan sneered: "If she just wants to play with you, you can naturally play with her, anyway Isn't there a price tag?"

"If I really just want to play, why don't I spend a handful of silver coins to find a Lyonnaise woman in the town? There are many such people in your town now, good friend, you can find quite a few silver coins. Not bad, why should I find a girlfriend?" Alfred murmured.

Ryan's face was touched, and his face was full of sincerity and excitement: "Ah Fu! You finally see clearly! You are indeed my good brother Ryan!"

"???" Alfred was puzzled at first, and then he splashed water on Ryan's face with his hands in anger and annoyance: "Okay, so you are such Ryan!"

"Crack~" The hot spring water splashed on Ryan's face, and Ryan avoided it with a smile. He said to Alfred, "It's actually very simple. It's just as long as you realize it. I won't say much else. For now For you, you can find a girlfriend casually, but you must be cautious when getting married."

Ryan's implication is very simple, either you find a true love, or find someone who will help your career.

As for Claudia, Ryan thinks it's not Ah Fu's true love, it's just his impulse.

In fact, as Ryan said, it is not uncommon for a maid to successfully marry into a noble family, but there are very few successful examples. Female courtiers can't get along.

Picking up off-the-shelf is not so easy. Strictly speaking, Ryan was picked by the Suria family, which can be regarded as a political marriage, but they also accumulated a lot of feelings along the way, which is quite a good combination.

There are generally only two kinds of wives of great nobles and generals. The first type is the true love who followed him all the way when he was a soldier or had not yet fully developed, and the other type is the one who can help him in his career. political marriage.

Ah Fu doesn't have the former, so Ryan's suggestion is the latter.

Of course, everything goes without saying, Ryan has another meaning, that is, no matter what Ah Fu chooses, Ryan will support him. On the one hand, as his superior nobleman, on the other hand, as his childhood playmate and good friend, he will support.

"Speaking of it, good friend." Alfred understood Ryan's meaning, and he didn't want to discuss this topic any more: "Your reform is going to be modeled after the empire? Build a bureaucratic system as complete as the imperial electors To replace the existing enfeoffment system?"

"How is it possible!" Ryan shook his head again and again: "All copy the bureaucratic system of the empire? Then the country collapsed before I completed the reform."

"Why?!" Alfred asked strangely.

"Think about it, Ah Fu, what are the reasons and characteristics of Brittany standing for thousands of years?" Ryan stroked the hot spring water in the bathroom back and forth with his hands.

"Of course it's the spirit of chivalry, the Holy Grail system and the belief of the lady of the lake." Alfred's research on Britannia is still relatively deep.

"That's right." Ryan nodded, and his face had become extremely serious at this time: "Ah Fu, think about it carefully, if we think the empire's system is good, we must fully accept and learn from this system, and use the existing The system is completely changed, forcing the nobles of the entire kingdom to learn from the empire, asking us to give up our own culture and chivalry, and change everything to the empire. Does that also mean that we deny everything about ourselves? We deny Do you deny your own culture, deny your own beliefs, and even deny the foundation of Brittania?"

"If it's really changed like this, is the Kingdom of Knights still the Kingdom of Knights?" There was something flickering in Ryan's blue eyes, which Alfred had never seen from the eyes of his childhood playmates before: " If we lose our own traditions and desperately cater to the culture of another country, can we still talk about self-esteem, self-confidence and self-improvement? Furthermore, is chivalry backward? Is it eliminated?"

"Of course not. Chivalry has been proven to be the continuation of human virtue and will. It is a belief that will never be abandoned no matter how long it takes." Alfred also became serious.

"It is not advisable to copy everything. If we only see the superior part of the imperial system and the backward part of Britannia and then copy them all, we will always come to the same conclusion. We will only point to the advantages of the empire and keep bragging , said how good the empire is, and then pointed to our own shortcomings, saying how poor we are, as time goes by, the people lose faith, the nobles lose confidence, we will give up the chivalry and chivalry beliefs that have always been, and the nobles no longer rely on having excellent I am proud of my knights and martial arts, and I am no longer proud of myself as a model of chivalry, so the only thing waiting for us is destruction." Ryan sighed softly: "Only in terms of military affairs, Fu, you know that the knight nobles in the entire kingdom If we give up training new knights and knight retinues, how terrible will the consequences be?"

"I understand." Alfred sighed lightly: "I think it's too simple."

"So, we must reform, but we must not copy, we must not give up our characteristics, our beliefs, we must consider our basic national conditions, and create a new knight kingdom with Bretanian characteristics and a new System." Ryan nodded, and he sighed: "What is our tradition? It is the swift assault cavalry and the knight army in heavy armor! It is the fearsome Holy Grail Knight and the chivalry we support when the empire is in trouble!"

"Just because the empire's system is advanced, and because the empire's gunpowder is powerful, we desperately belittle ourselves and say everything about ourselves is worthless. This is the real mistake." Ryan said in a low voice: "We want to change, we It also needs to be changed, but some things cannot be discarded, but must be carried forward!"

"Ryan, you are no longer that Nord." Alfred smiled, and he said meaningfully: "You have that kind of authority."

"Yes, I have. I can change this country." Ryan took the towel off his head and wiped his face: "But how can I ensure that my reforms can continue? How can I ensure that my reforms will continue? After I abdicate, won't my heirs change back? Is there such a thing as the death of a person in history?"

The Templars remained silent.

"If I became the King of Knights, I would be a papermaker like Richard and do nothing, and the whole kingdom would probably be able to survive." Ryan continued: "But that's meaningless, it's nothing more than lingering, everything is in jeopardy." Compromise, what am I doing as a king? On the other hand, if you want to do something practical and make changes, you need to use power, and you have to challenge existing interests. Maybe because of my personal prestige, people don’t They will oppose me, or they will not oppose me explicitly, but they will definitely make small moves in private, and once my rule is over, how can I ensure that my reforms and my system can continue?"

"This is a contradiction in itself. If you do something, offend others, and if you don't offend others, don't do things." Alfred has a deep understanding of this: "This is the case of the Justice Church. Under the crown of Archbishop Vicmar, two great recitations, and then Down there are cardinals, cardinals, regional archbishops, diocesan patriarchs, and then a series of more than ten levels of teaching positions, which are extremely strict. No matter how you try to change, you will touch someone else's cake, that is called Luther- Huss’ combat priest came to the Cathedral of Justice with such enthusiasm, but because he said too many problems, he was almost excommunicated on the spot, and Archbishop Vicma took action to save him.”

"That's right." Ryan went on to say: "Therefore, whether I can change, whether I can complete the change, depends on whether I am recognized by most nobles and most vested interest groups. In this kingdom, the people who support me the most who is it?"

"Obviously the southern faction headed by Duke François and Duke Boderick?" Alfred said casually.

"Wrong! It's the church and merchants!" Ryan couldn't stop laughing, and he leaned against the pool again: "On the contrary, it's the knights and nobles who support Raun! The firm support of the church and merchants is the reason why I won most of the victories." The key, so those who persuade me to touch the church cakes, especially the church cakes of Lady in the Lake, are either stupid or bad!"

"A 2:1 victory!" Alfred thought about it carefully, he really had nothing to say to his childhood playmate: "It is true that Duke Francois seems to have a lot of ideas and ideas, but in fact everything It has become dominated by you, and you are the God-chosen champion of the lady in the lake! You are as glorious as you are, you are favored by the lady, and you are trusted by His Royal Highness Mogiana, so the church will naturally support you firmly."

"Therefore, there is a foundation for the change, and as long as the recognition is obtained, the nobles get enough benefits in the process of bureaucratic reform, and the continuation of the tradition of the knight kingdom is guaranteed, then why should they oppose it? Why would they oppose it? "Ryan laughed and said: "This is the basis for ensuring the continuation of the reform, instead of relying on personal prestige to forcibly fight against vested interest groups!"

"I understand." Alfred smiled wryly: "You take me as a model? But if you keep the tradition of knights, what about the infantry? Without the cooperation of strong enough infantry, the war cannot rely on knights alone, but The entire kingdom has only so many resources, and all of them have raised knights, how can we build a powerful infantry army?"

"That's why you want to fight the Blackstone stronghold, why you want to fight Mu Xilong." Ryan nodded: "A stable kingdom without internal and external troubles, a new principality, a new industrial and commercial center, this country, between nobles and serfs I have opened a gap in the insurmountable gap, and now, I want to make this gap even bigger, and I want to make all the knights in the entire kingdom realize that if they don’t work hard, they will also become serfs!"

"Similarly, I want to let the serfs in the whole kingdom realize that as long as they work hard, serfs can also become master knights! And those serfs who discard the chaff and save the chaff, have experienced one battle after another, and have been tempered in blood and fire Soldiers, it is the source of building an elite infantry! It is the source of breaking the class gap, and it is the future. My real team belongs to me!"

"You mean?" Alfred suddenly thought of a series of recent actions by Ryan.
