Chapter 730, Take a Break
ps: I'm a little late today, sorry, I'm a little tired recently, in various senses.
In the lobby of the hotel, the black-hearted Rip and his deputy Durant were having dinner.
The two mercenary chiefs were not popular people. The Holy Grail knights disliked the black-hearted Lepp and Durant's mercenaries and bandits, and naturally looked down on his so-called Principality of Britska with less than 5,000 residents and his The self-proclaimed "Prince Britska", if it wasn't for the fact that the black-hearted Repp had the strength of the legendary pinnacle and was indeed canonized by Ryan as the head of the Brittany Independence Regiment and the title of Baron of the Border, the knights would not even will talk to him.
Among them, the Holy Grail Knights will be better. These living saints will at least maintain respect and justice, and those knights who have noble blood but are not Holy Grail Knights despise black-hearted Lepp the most. After speaking, Black Hearted Rep could still feel the disdainful breath coming out of their nostrils.
The black-hearted Lepp, who is already in his seventies, is very open about this. He is used to it. The difference is that Durant, this border warlord is only in his early thirties this year. Human impulse, Durant is indeed a leader in the army, he is very good at using the long-barreled firecrackers produced in Hawke, and he is not afraid of close combat, so he always feels that he has capital.
But what was quite different from what he had imagined was that those young and beautiful Jialan witches didn't like him at all. Every time they spoke, they stared at him like thieves, which made Durant very hurt.
Black-hearted Lepp and Durant's dinner was very simple, two grilled meals + vegetable salad + red wine. Because they were not popular, their conversation was also whispering. Black-hearted Lepp said to Durant: "You are such an asshole , God, Charlemagne, don't come to me next time, I know better than you how unpopular I am."
"Oh, please, Mr. Littlebird, you know, this is one of the few chances to see Scarlett!" Durant's face was full of pleading: "Help me, you are the king's big red people!"
"Big red man? Please don't say that, Durant, you obviously misunderstood something. I can become the baron of the border and the head of the independent regiment because I am useful." Black-hearted Repp sighed softly, and he shook his head: "If you can't recognize your own value, you will be abandoned sooner or later. Durant, you have to know how good you are. Fighters like you can't be said to be everywhere in the old world, but they must be Not uncommon."
"Can a fighter like me catch up to Scarlett? Mr. Littlebird." Durant looked at a certain direction on the first floor of the hotel lobby with fascination: "Do you understand my heart? I, her .”
"...You are a young man, do you know what it is called?" Black-hearted Rip shrugged, his bald head reflected light under the chandelier in the hall.
"She just drinks her bath water." Durant straightened his bow tie vigorously. The border warlord wore a one-piece gentleman's suit today: "I would like to drink Scarlett's bath water! Littlebird Sir, come and check me out, how do I look? Handsome? Handsome? Can I impress her?"
"Many times it is not the appearance that impresses women,
Durant. Black-hearted Rip shook his head: "Especially for witches, appearance is a low-ranking item among several scoring criteria. Also, I think I have to remind you that it's good to wear gentleman's clothes, but you should at least The seam was removed from the cuffs and front pockets. "
"Hahahaha!" As soon as Black Hearted Rep finished speaking, the apprentice witches at the table next to him couldn't help bursting into laughter. It was obvious that they had endured Durant's clothing for a long time.
"Oh, I, this...yes, Mr. Littlebird, you...you are right!" Durant realized that there were still seams on his front pockets and cuffs, and he flushed red. Face, beyond embarrassment: "I, I think I'm going to tidy up."
"Go now." Black-hearted Rep watched Durant rushing to his room in a hurry, and smiled playfully. The mercenary leader now focused on Durant's goddess Scarlett: "Okay Well, let me see what is so attractive about that girl."
A witch with golden-brown wavy hair, charming lake green eyes and thick red lips, the fiery witch caught in the eyes of Black Heart Rep, her sexy and mature appearance made Black Heart Rep secretly praise her , I thought this is also a big beauty, no wonder Durant is so fascinated by her.
"Catherine, that nasty mercenary boss is spying on us." Scarlett, wearing a standard Garland Witch long-sleeve shirt and fiery red skirt, noticed the black-hearted Rip's target, and she looked like I ate something disgusting: "It's really uncomfortable, I don't understand, why did the instructor let those two mercenary leaders live in the same hotel as us? Is there no other hotel in Haimenguan?"
Catherine, who was wearing a blue-gray shirt and a red plaid skirt, rolled up the spaghetti with a fork, she shook her head again and again: "That's not true, Scarlett, I heard from my instructor that Black Hearted Repp is very useful, he is very familiar with the frontier princes. Otherwise, it would be impossible to pull up a large team in a year, and he also collected the newspapers from Haimenguan and Heishuiwan, including the movement of green skins in the badlands. From this point of view, he is still very useful.”
"Wow, Catherine, you know so much!" Scarlett reached out and pulled her dazzling golden-brown hair behind her head, her eyes were full of light, and she asked tentatively: "Speaking of it, Catherine, what do you do?" The tutor's personal apprentice must often have the opportunity to meet His Majesty the King, right? Can you tell me what kind of person he is?"
After hearing Scarlett's question, some thoughts flashed through Catherine's mind. She shook her head: "No, the instructor rarely gives me the opportunity to contact His Majesty Ryan. Even if there is an occasional opportunity to meet, she will often be there."
"Sigh~" Scarlett didn't believe it after hearing this, she thought for a while, and asked again: "No way, if the mentor didn't believe you, why would he arrange you for Lord Carrad?"
"I don't know about this either. I can only follow the orders of my mentor." Catherine said cautiously, "Since this is the arrangement of my mentor, I will follow Lord Karard."
"Hey~ Mentor Mentor, Catherine, you will always be like this, so listen to what your teacher says." Seeing Catherine like this, Scarlett knew that there was nothing to be done from her, so she sighed and said, "I want to be like my teacher too." Also next to His Majesty Ryan, a good man with strength, charm and financial resources, new magic books, new experimental materials, new staff and robes, and of course living expenses, my God, I just calculated it casually It takes at least 500 gold kroner to meet my minimum needs for a year, where will this money come from?"
"..." Catherine didn't answer. As Veronica's personal apprentice, Catherine can naturally get a lot of funding for experiments, and she can also borrow from Veronica's private library, but Catherine rarely tells others that witches are the easiest Jealousy and tearing bī), these witches who know magic are self-aware that they are superior to others, and no one will obey anyone. She knows how many people in this witch group want to take shortcuts like Veronica, and how many witches are hostile to her. himself, coveting his own position.
But if you think about it carefully, can you really take a shortcut by going to Ryan? Catherine frowned secretly. When Ryan came to visit Veronica, she found a chance to have private contact with Ryan, but obviously Ryan was not interested in her at all. On the contrary, she took a big risk at that time. She Get to know Veronica's personality.
Moreover, His Majesty Ryan already has Ms. Trovik and a mentor, and the dark elf maid next to him is obviously also a sanctuary wizard. The choice may be a hell difficulty!
"Speaking of which, Catherine, how does it feel to be partnered with Lord Callard?" Just as Catherine was thinking, Scarlett tried again: "In various senses?"
"Your Excellency Callard seldom speaks, and when he speaks occasionally, he just gives orders." Catherine shook her head, but she froze for a while, as the Bright Fire Witch caught something in her heart.
Maybe it's time to change your mind?
……… I am the dividing line that changes my thinking………
In the evening, on the third floor, in the best "King Room" of Sea Dragon's Breath Hotel, Veronica and Orika prepared a very sumptuous meal for Ryan.
A curry feast from Indy.
Curry chicken, curry crab, curry lamb chops, curry potatoes, curry shrimp, the curry imported from Indy constituted the big meal tonight, and after many years, Ryan finally had rice, which made the King of Knights feel very good. After coming to this world, he hadn't eaten rice for a long time. The fragrant rice was paired with thick curry, and Ryan ate several plates of rice by himself.
Veronica and Orika also ate a lot.
After dinner, Veronica rubbed her belly with her hands, and sat on Ryan's lap with a satisfied face. Today, Witch Garland is wearing a small dress with colorful maple dew, pink stamens and floral flowers, showing off her hotness. Spicy profile and a pair of beautiful black silk long legs, wearing a pair of wine red stiletto high heels on the black silk jade feet, and a gold anklet hanging on the small ankle wrapped in ultra-thin black pantyhose, this anklet is The emperor gave Surya gold among the nine jewels.
At the beginning, the emperor gave Suria nine jewelry that was blessed by him. Each of them is composed of earrings, necklaces, rings, bracelets, and anklets. They have strong protection capabilities and the effect of strengthening physical fitness. As for whether there are other functions , needs to be further explored.
Suria kept the diamonds for herself after she got them, and Ryan’s backyard could choose the others. The fairy in the lake chose the platinum first, Veronica chose the gold, and Morgana chose the emerald. Leisa chose Jade, Emilia chose Pearl, and Olika chose Opal. At present, Suria still has sapphire and crystal in her hands.
From this point of view alone, Suria is indeed very generous. Ryan can bet that when most women get these nine jewels, they definitely only think about how to match them, not sharing them.
"Honey, do you want me to ask the chef here to learn how to make curry?" Veronica was tired of Ryan, she was shaking her pair of black silk legs back and forth, hooking her toes wrapped in black pantyhose Wine red high heels, shaking back and forth: "It looks like you like it?"
"Hehehe~" Ryan hugged Veronica's waist with a smile, and shook his head again and again: "Curry is only delicious if you eat it occasionally. Who can bear it every day? It will be greasy, and curry tastes very thick , dear, don't you smell, you smell like curry?"
"Hmph! It's because you smell like curry all over your face, so you're ashamed to say me!" Veronica stretched out her pale jade finger and tapped Ryan's forehead, then stretched out her hand to pinch Ryan's face: "You should too. Take care of your knights! Did you know? Catherine told me that several witches had boyfriends, and it was you, knights!"
"Ha, what's wrong?" Ryan said with a smile: "This is to promote the harmonious relationship between knights and wizards!"
"What kind of harmonious relationship, my dear, you don't understand what it's like between apprentice witches. Over the years, I've rarely seen jealousy, bi) wars, gossip, thumbtacks, and drugging each other?" Vero said. Nika clasped her hands angrily: "I don't object to witches falling in love with knights, but you have to see when it is! Let me tell you, things like jealousy will affect the combat effectiveness!"
"Just like you and Olika?" Ryan joked: "Or you and Morgiana? How do I feel that your combat effectiveness has improved instead?"
"Ryan!!!" Teresa obviously remembered something, and Witch Jialan blushed, and she was furious: "I didn't mean that!"
"Okay, I will give the order to let the knights pay attention." Ryan finally nodded in agreement: "I have no objection to serious contacts, but it cannot affect the army. I plan to temporarily rest at Haimen Pass for two weeks. In January next year, we Attack the Fort Armory."
"January next year?" Veronica hesitated after hearing Ryan's plan: "Honey, winter is not the right time for me and my witch group to fight. January is the coldest time in Haimen Pass, are you sure?"
"It's okay, there's Olika." Ryan shrugged: "I understand your difficulties, my dear, but this big expedition can't be delayed, you have to understand that the 50,000 gold crowns obtained from the first phase of the Bafengshan national debt are very important For the army of the Great Expedition, it’s just more than a month’s military expenses, and I’m already preparing to release the second and third issues.”
"I understand, honey." Veronica frowned, she simply stood up, and the sound of her high heels came from the room: "Then do this, my witch group and I will try our best to support you .”
"I will also assist you, master." The dark elf who has been hiding in the dark and observing secretly also spoke. Today, Olika is wearing a tiered dress with lace and carved suspenders of Earl of the Night. She said sweetly: "Just Master has been replenishing enough magic power for me, master, you have to work harder! Otherwise, if the magic power is not enough, I won’t be able to help you.”
"Make up! You can make up for everything!"
