Chapter 178, The Road to Bordereau

"Of course, I am also very honored." Suria didn't even hesitate, and the female knight immediately put her small hand in white velvet gloves into Ryan's big hand.

"Thank you very much." Ryan breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, it would be much easier to handle this way.

It warmed his heart that the Cavaliers were always there to help him when he needed it the most.

Moreover, Suria still participated in this banquet in the name of a person. Ryan understood what this meant to an unmarried Marquis, and so did Suria.

There is a tacit understanding between them.

The two parties agreed to meet at Ryan's side after three days, and then head to Boldero together.

Bodleix, the capital of the Principality of Boldro, is not very far from Ryan's territory, Jean Territory. The road is full of loads and it takes at most two days to walk. Ryan plans to arrive one day in advance. By the way, he can also visit the Poseidon Knights first. Headquarters and fertile Bodleix.

Ryan doesn't need too many guards, but as a lord, he certainly can't go on the road alone like before, and he can do everything by himself, which is too cheap.

As usual, it was inconvenient to spend the night here as a female knight. After making an appointment with Ryan, she left on a Pegasus, leaving Emilia behind.

After studying in Wenford for half a year, Emilia matured very quickly, but she was still the charming little maid in front of Ryan. After a few months of absence, Emilia's eyes were shining brightly. Ryan's side said softly: "Mr. Ryan, I have heard about you. You destroyed the Demon Rock and completely defeated the Beastmen tribe."

"It's not a big deal, Emilia, it's what I should do to wipe out those beastmen in the forest." Ryan didn't take it seriously, but Emilia was very serious: "No, Mr. Lane, you have protected this country, you are the most powerful."

"Speaking of which, I used to be able to help you with my disguise technique, but I can't help you now, Mr. Ryan." Emilia pursed her thin lips with aggrieved face: "If this continues, I will be disgusted by Mr. Lane."

"Haha~ How could I dislike you, Emilia, you have helped me a lot in many ways." Ryan knew that Emilia always wanted to repay his kindness but couldn't find a way, so He took the initiative to say: "By the way, I happen to be going to Bodleix next, do you want to go with me?"

"Hey? Can you?" Emilia's eyes lit up.

"Well, Olika doesn't like to travel far, so you can go with me this time, is there anything wrong with the academy?"

"No."

"Well, this time you will go to Bodleix with me."

"it is good!"

…………

At the same time, Britannia, the Duchy of Connaught, the cursed city of Musilon.

Many parts of the tall city wall have fallen into the swamp. The escaped serfs and various unidentified creatures occupy this port city. The streets are dark and gloomy. Under the cover of the huge city wall, the daily sunshine hours No more than three hours, so most of the residents here are pale and listless.

The city's economic circulation system is still a mystery. There are taverns, brothels (harmony), drug parlors, fighting pits, and other places that are darker and more addictive. The shops here typically sell forbidden books, cult trinkets, and various poisons and assassination devices, but there don't seem to be any normal life stores like food stores and tailors in any city.

Most of the residents seem to have weird jobs to go out of the city to complete. Every day, trucks and boats arrive in the city full of daily necessities. Among them, blood lords and vampire cavalry often haunt the crowd, but the blood nobles and the residents here In a situation of ignoring each other, as long as the serfs are willing to pay taxes or sell blood, the vampires allow them to live here.

At the same time, it is also the largest den for selling stolen goods in Brittania.

Although unwilling to admit it, in fact, many rogue knights on the surface always like to send their illegal gains here to sell their stolen goods. Vampires buy a large number of stolen goods and resell them for huge profits. How do they sell these goods? No one knows who got rid of it.

But today, a carriage slowly drove into Mu Xilong, and the carriage was driven by four dead horses.

That's right, four horses that had become undead, having lost all flesh and blood.

This made the residents shudder, and they took the initiative to avoid the road of bone horses entering the city. These bone horses were dry, and only their eyes had blue soul fire burning.

In the dark carriage, a low, dry hoarse voice was talking to another young and energetic voice.

"Ah~ I don't know how much time has passed and how much time has passed. I finally came to the old world again. The signs of divination and prophecy indicate that we need to collect more materials if we want our Lord to return from the darkness." Said the low, hoarse voice.

"Materials? Godfather, if we want the Lord of the Dead to return, what materials do we need to collect?" The young voice replied, this voice sounded very bold and unruly, but also full of hatred.

"We need to find the nine-volume book compiled by our lord. At the same time, we also need to collect enough equivalent magic activation carriers as a sacrifice to guide the return of our lord." The hoarse voice continued: "Ah~ there are only nine volumes The remaining magic power in the book can solve the mystery, and only enough sacrifices can attract the shattered remnant soul of our Lord back to this world and complete the rebirth."

"One of the books is sealed in Britannia. I can sense that it is in the territory of the Principality of Belarion. My godson, it's time, it's time to start our plan, we It’s been years in the making.”

"The Red Duke proved to be incompetent. Pure war cannot defeat these chivalrous knights. We need to infiltrate and dismantle this country from within."

"I will definitely destroy this hypocritical country built on lies and deceit! Godfather!" The young voice was full of hatred and pain: "I will end it all with my own hands, with my long sword."

"Very good." The hoarse voice was full of unexplained happiness: "Besides, we have another goal."

"That is...she has always been mysterious, but we can..."

"Let's get started."

…………

Five days later, Ryan waited for Suria who came to meet him as he wished.

The female knight brought her maid, Sylvia, and five knight retinues. They were all loyal Winford family knights, and they came here to protect and serve her.

At this level, as a marquise, Suria would definitely not be able to do some chores herself, and her maid Sylvia actually seldom does chores, so the servants must be fully prepared when traveling.

Ryan didn't plan to bring too many people, just like he planned, he only brought Emilia and his butler Katzenberg, and at the same time there were five sergeants, led by Baron Jean It only takes more than a day to travel to Bodleix, and the journey is not dangerous.

Coincidentally, Ryan ordered a luxurious carriage, so he arranged the three girls to rest in the carriage, while he rode on the pure-blood elf warhorse Grape, in front of the carriage, chatting with his housekeeper Katzenberg .

"The weather is getting colder and colder. When we get back to Jean, we can almost prepare for the winter." Ryan raised his head, and the cold wind in late autumn was like a bone scraper, blowing straight through. Brittany Arya is not that cold compared to Nord, but its seaside and humid climate is doomed to the power of this damp and cold wind. Emilia, who is weaker in physique, wanted to come out to talk with him, but Ryan drove him back directly. Go inside the carriage and wrap yourself in a blanket to keep out the cold.

"Yes, this year is a bumper year, my baron, we can have a good year, this is the blessing of the lady." Katzenberg nodded, and the housekeeper showed a gratified expression: "I Baron, can I tell you the truth?"

"you say."

"I always thought that the baron, as a holy grail knight, would not be so interested in governing his own territory... but my baron, your talent in internal affairs is really excellent. It seems that you don't need much assistance now. You can handle many things well by yourself." Katzenberg said calmly.

"But because of this, I need you all. After all, I am a Holy Grail Knight serving ladies, not a courtier." Ryan nodded first, then shook his head: "My main energy will still be on war."

"Then please allow me to continue to assist you, my baron." Katzenberg said immediately: "We need each other."

"Maybe that's the case." Ryan agreed to the butler's request. Judging from his performance in the past few months, he is indeed very good: "By the way, can you tell me about your past? Your family turned out to be What do you do?"

"It's the executioner, my baron. I'm a descendant of Baron Bafar. Of course, this was five or six generations ago. Baron Bafar was once Winford's famous executioner. He was responsible for killing rebels and evil spirits." When the believers are executed, the target will be tied to the stake and impaled to death by him, and then completely ignited and reduced to ashes."

"Oh, that's a bloody profession," Ryan sighed.

"Yes, my Baron, but unfortunately, due to my non-lineal birth, I cannot inherit any positions or fiefs, and my family cannot afford to buy knight equipment for me, but I know that I can become a courtier, and I am also a courtier." Believe that this is my destiny, when Lord Ryan appeared in front of me, I knew it was time to come out and look for opportunities." Katzenberg continued.

"that's the truth……"

The conversation outside the carriage continued, and inside the carriage, the three girls were also whispering.

Emilia was wearing a brown leather jacket with a white shirt, a blue scarf and a brown skirt. The girl's moccasin boots were placed at the door of the carriage, and black stockings were worn on one pair of legs. The girl put herself Wrapped in a blanket, it caused ridicule from the other two female knights: "Emilia, I told you, Brittania is no better than the Empire or Nord, the climate here is relatively humid, and it feels very cold. "

"Well, Sister Suria, Sister Sylvia, don't laugh at me anymore." Emilia said aggrievedly, "I'm just... I'm just..."

"Hahaha~" Sylvia and Suria both laughed. They were actually very aware of Emilia's little thoughts, because the two female knights were also dressed in short skirts and stockings, but they were more experienced, not only I added long cotton socks to the outside of the stockings, and specially wore a warm bearskin coat.

Seeing Suria's dignified and elegant appearance, Emilia was both sad and self-pitying, and the girl said casually: "That's great, Sister Suria, Mr. Ryan took the initiative to invite you to be his female companion , When he was with me in Marienburg, he said that if he really didn't have a female companion, he would take me with him."

The female knight's heart moved, and Emilia's words seemed to be pointing, so she wrapped her legs in a blanket, holding a bear doll in her arms, and accepted Emilia's words: " If I knew this earlier, I would have rejected Ryan's invitation, so wouldn't you have a chance, Emilia?"

"That's not okay, Sister Su Liya will be sad if she does this." Emilia looked weak: "Anyway, this is also very good, I am very satisfied to be able to play with Mr. Ryan gone."

"Hahahaha~" Su Liya couldn't help covering her mouth and giggling. Although the girl in front of her was a bit cautious, her nature was still very kind.

Instead, her maid, Sylvia, suddenly said to her with a blushing face: "Miss, it's actually not good for you to directly agree to Your Excellency Ryan's request like this. It would be better to talk to the Duke first in a fit of anger." ?”

"No~ it's different, Sylvia." Su Liya took the hand of her maid and said softly: "Maybe the result is the same, but Ryan's perception will be different."

"But..." The serious Sylvia blushed and wanted to say something, but the Duke's daughter continued to shake her head. She paid attention to the movement outside, and then said in a voice that only the three girls could hear: " It's different, Sylvia, Emilia, and Ryan obviously don't have enough confidence in themselves, and this is the time for him to dispel his doubts. We must not hesitate a little bit, otherwise our previous efforts will be in vain .”

What is the specific effort, Suria did not say, Sylvia and Emilia both understand.

Emilia looked at the duke's rich and generous appearance, and she felt a little uncomfortable. The girl sighed softly. She originally wanted to wait for Ryan to settle down here, and then find a chance to slowly get closer to him. , it turned out that the speed at which the Duke's daughter appeared in front of me was really surprising, and she was gentle and beautiful, so it was hard not to feel good about her when getting along.

Moreover, Ryan's way of getting along with her is different. He still treats himself as a little maid and sister, but he and the female knight in front of him seem to be running for "that" relationship.

Nothing happened along the way, and the relationship between the three girls was very relaxed and comfortable. The bearings of the carriage rotated slowly. Suria remembered another thing. She held Sylvia's little hand and said : "By the way, Sylvia, didn't you always hope that Ryan could teach you your sword skills? This time is a good opportunity."

"Huh? But... but." Sylvia, who had a somewhat rigid and serious personality, blushed immediately: "Going up to ask for advice...isn't it good?"

"How could it be? Sylvia, don't forget, you..." Suria whispered something in Sylvia's ear, and the maid nodded blushingly: "Well, that's true."

While the girls were chatting happily in the carriage, Ryan, who was riding outside the carriage, met a young knight.

The young knight was riding a standard Breton mixed-breed elf horse. The horse was covered with a red and blue horse harness with patterns of irises embroidered on it. The knight wore a full set of plate armor with a A black smock, and a yellow lion with a sword on a black background engraved on the shield.

This shows that he is a knight of the Duchy of Connecticut, but not the red and blue coat of arms shows that he is not a knight or direct descendant of the Duke's family.

Lane had never seen this coat of arms.

"Hello, traveler from afar, Your Excellency the Holy Grail Knight, are you also planning to go to Bordeaux to attend the banquet?" The young knight said immediately, it seemed that he was not surprised by the appearance of Ryan and others.

"Well, that's right, I'm Ryan Malcador." Ryan said, "May I ask who you are?"

"I'm Matthew Bard, from the Duchy of Connecticut, a knight-errant, never give up, can I walk with you?"

After finishing speaking, the young knight seemed to focus on the luxurious carriage intentionally or unintentionally.

"Everyone needs a companion on the road."
