Chapter 193, The Duke's Secret Talk

phone-reading

The wizard's tower is known as a symbol of status and wealth for wizards. It's no wonder Teresa couldn't forget a wizard's tower of her own before. The sorceress still shares a wizard's tower with her mother.

"Teresa is still obsessed with her wizard tower. I remember that she has always used whether she can come out and own a wizard tower alone as the basis for her independence." In the white snow, Ryan took Veronica's hand The two of them have just finished watching the vineyard. The wine expert sent from the Wenford court can indeed be called a master. Under his care, the grapes in the vineyard have been well maintained. It is expected that next year You can produce high-quality wine.

So the two returned to the vicinity of the castle. Veronica was about to choose a place for her wizard tower. The witch had several requirements for her future wizard tower. First, it should be close to Ryan's castle, and if it was hidden enough, it would not be easily disturbed. place, and then it is relatively convenient to enter and exit.

As for the wind of magic, there is no requirement, because in the main material world, the maelstrom binds the wind of magic, so there is basically no so-called "spiritual gathering place" for cultivating immortals in the whole world, and the wind of magic is complex and changeable And there are no rules at all, the cultivation of wizards depends more on themselves.

"...I don't know what medicine Trovik gave you? Why do you always remember her good things?" Veronica said angrily, holding Ryan's hand, and Katzenberg and Garth Parton took his people to deal with his own affairs. Anyway, they returned to the vicinity of the castle, and they no longer needed to follow the lord.

So only Ryan and Veronica were left. The witch enjoyed the feeling of holding hands in leisure time, but she didn't like Ryan's topic: "Don't you remember the unpleasant things that Trovik brought you?" Do you remember?"

"Veronica~ I'm a Holy Grail Knight. I can't hold on to Teresa's bad parts. It's the first time I come out to take risks. Her performance like that is considered qualified. According to you, then Didn't you also leave me with a lot of bad memories? For example, I said that you kicked me off three years ago..." Ryan waited to say more, Veronica twisted on his arm: "Don't say that! Didn't I apologize later? Now that I've been captured by you, what else do you want?"

"Okay, okay, what I want to say is that Teresa also mentioned to me about building a wizard's tower." Ryan had to change the subject: "I'm a little strange, your witches in Jialan like to talk to people. Are you talking about this? After you became my partner for two years, you have been telling me this all the time."

"??!!" Veronica's face immediately darkened, her eyes moved, and she immediately asked, "You agreed?"

"No, she told me that she wanted to build a new wizard tower, and told me to work harder. I said, what does this have to do with me?" Ryan didn't take the conversation at that time seriously. Repeatedly.

"That's right, she wants to build her wizard tower by herself, it has nothing to do with you!" Veronica's eyes flashed with pride, she took Ryan's arm, and said softly: "You did the right thing !"

The witch didn't think so in her heart, and she was very proud of herself for taking precautions early.

In fact, in the Garland Council, there is an unwritten tacit agreement, that is, when a witch tells a man about her plan to build a wizard tower, she is actually expressing her favor secretly. Veronica can Sure, that's what Teresa meant.

But what the sorceress didn't expect was that Veronica vaccinated Ryan early on. After the relationship between the two was established, the witch often emphasized to him that when a witch talks to you about the wizard's tower, it's them If you want to borrow your money and strength, you must be cautious and vigilant enough on this issue, except for me, they are all bad people!

So Ryan didn't realize Teresa's hidden meaning at all.

I checked a few places,

Veronica took a fancy to an open space about five minutes away from Lane Castle, which is backed by a high mountain. This open space is close to the Oracle Mountains and mountain roads behind Baron Jean. There is a forest beside the open space, and there is a path leading directly to After Lane's Baron's Castle, just build a section of the city wall to link this place with Lane's Castle.

After deciding on the address of the wizard tower, the snowstorm outside was getting bigger and bigger, so Ryan took Veronica back to his castle, and the two sat around the stove to enjoy the snow. Ryan and Veronica snuggled together, and they both felt very warm.

"Boom~ Master, the gift you ordered has been delivered." The door of the master bedroom was knocked, and the dark elf Olika came in with black tea. Olika put the things on the small table, and Ryan Simply took her hand: "Olika, let's go together."

"Okay." The dark elf blushed a bit, but sat down anyway. She took off her black boots and sat next to Ryan. Her long legs in white stockings were very dazzling, contrasting with the witch's beautiful black silk legs.

Veronica glanced at the dark elf with interest, and didn't say much, but there was some hostility in her eyes. Similarly, the dark elf also had some hostility towards the witch, but it was hidden.

"Have all the gifts been delivered?" Ryan asked Olika softly.

"Well, it's all delivered. The ranger knight Hux personally delivered the gift to Wenford, and delivered it to His Excellency Francois." Olika replied, and the dark elf's face was very calm.

"Very good." Ryan told several great nobles he had befriended, such as Duke Boderick, Duke of Boldroux, Berhemond, Duke of Bastogne, Duke François, Duke of Winford, and Ascot. Marquis Connery, Marquis Suria and others all gave gifts. Exquisite venison jerky and wood elf jewellery, silk and fruit wine made up Ryan's gift, which was not priceless, but rare.

And just as Ryan thought, on this day, it was also snowing heavily, and the Principality of Wenford welcomed two distinguished guests.

In the majestic and majestic castle of Duke Helenhild, a tall statue of a pure white horse is about to fly. The sky in the distance is gloomy, and heavy snow is filling the whole Helenhild. On the tower, there is a small At the round table, three great Breton nobles in silk costumes were drinking and enjoying the snow. Apart from that, there was no one on the tower.

Francois, Duke of Wenford held the wine glass in his hand and said with a smile: "Although the wood elf fruit wine sent by Ryan is not as good as our top wine in Wenford, it is indeed rare. I haven't drunk this kind of fruit wine for almost ten years. gone."

Bohemond, Duke of Bastogne, was also tasting the fruit wine. Unlike François, Bohemond sighed: "I don't have red wine as rich as yours here, only occasionally in Courona. While drinking this kind of fruit wine, Ryan sent ten bottles of wood elf fruit wine this time, and I plan to treasure it up."

"Haha, Bohemond, you're lucky. I've just made a batch of the top quality wine 'Lusalus'. When you go back, bring a barrel back." Francois just laughed , and at the same time said to another person in the tower: "You can also take a bucket, our Duke Louis?"

The last of the three was dressed in red and blue silk aristocratic clothing, and his cloak was painted with a leaping lion, and unlike the normal family coat of arms of the Duchy of Connecticut, the leaping lion holds the golden chalice in his hands.

In fact, these three dukes are all holding the Holy Grail in the claws of the red fire dragon of Bohemond, and François' pure white horse is also holding the Holy Grail, which shows their identities as the Holy Grail Knights.

"It's really rare, but I'm no longer a duke, please don't say that." The former Duke of Connecticut "Upright" Louis said relaxedly. He looked like he had just unloaded a heavy burden, and his whole body was extremely relaxed. : "Lauen has taken over my position. Now I am just an ordinary Grand Knight of the Holy Grail Order who is about to go to guard the Lady Cathedral. I stopped by to see Francois when I passed by here. What I didn't expect was that Berhemond was also there."

Yes, the "righteous" Louis is no longer the Duke of Connett. After his legitimate son, Lawn, completed the Holy Grail trial, he officially put aside all his secular duties and prepared to set off for the Duchy of Carcassonne. The Cathedral of the Fairy in the Lake, from now on he will guard the holy place of the Fairy in the Lake all his life.

"Helen Hilde will cover the mountains with heavy snow soon, so I'll hurry over to have a look." Bohemond didn't say much, and the Duke of Red Dragon asked Louis, "Are you so relieved of Lawn? He is an excellent man." A knight, but not necessarily a good duke."

"It doesn't matter, anyway, I have already handed over the affairs of the Principality to him, and he will decide everything after that." Speaking of his son, Louis did not look happy that Lawn had completed the Holy Grail Road. It's just a sense of relief.

Both François and Berhemond knew that the relationship between Louis and his son Lawn was not good.

Lawn is the son of Louis' wife, so he can be regarded as his illegitimate son, but this illegitimate son lived a dissolute life when he was young, and especially liked to go out and mess around. At a young age, he produced an illegitimate son with a lowly biological mother. Considering it a great shame and humiliation, the illegitimate child was abandoned in the wilderness by Louis. Since then, the relationship between Louis and Lawn, the father and son, has become extremely bad.

Fortunately, after this incident, Lawn also understood the mistakes he made, so he grew up from a bohemian ranger knight, and gradually became an excellent knight of the kingdom, and then after being inspired by the lady , he decided to embark on the path of the Holy Grail, and started his Holy Grail expedition as a mission knight.

Five years later, Lawn, who failed the Holy Grail trial for the first time, returned to Connecticut. Compared with a mission knight, the duke's son was more like a beggar. Ragged and muddy, he enters the venue, begging the help of his father and the knights of the principality: a necromancer has summoned an army of undead to overthrow the kingdom.

Under the onlookers and discussions of countless distinguished guests, Duke Louis felt that he had lost face, and was even more annoyed at his own son. However, his virtue as a Holy Grail Knight told him that he should help his son. Perhaps the kingdom of knights is indeed facing the undead. Therefore, he suppressed his dissatisfaction and asked who among the family knights would follow Lawn to fight against the undead.

So when Lawn left the Duchy of Connet again, he changed into brand new equipment, and took away sixteen family knights who were willing to follow him. Since then, there has been no news, until he announced that he had completed the Holy Grail a few days ago. After the trial, he returned to the Duchy of Connecticut alone.

The Knight of the Holy Grail is also a human being and has his own likes and dislikes. Although the fairy of the lake recognized Lawen's virtue and strength and left Louis speechless, Louis still handed over the Duke's affairs to Lawn early and left by himself. .

These are all secrets among the nobles of the kingdom. Only Berhemond and François, who are dukes, know about the conflicts between Louis and Lawn. Leaving the principality early, out of sight, out of sight, and to avoid further conflicts.

"Forget it, let's not talk about this." Francois shook his head and changed the subject: "What is our king doing recently?"

"Richard? He is really struggling with the debt collection of Marienburg." Bohemond shook the goblet triumphantly: "The contract is written in black and white and witnessed by two gods. He really cannot deny it. It is said that he intends to With Le-Angulan's tariffs as a guarantee, I will temporarily seek a loan from Her Majesty Morgiana, and pay part of the short-term debt first to relieve the urgent need."

"Hehe~" François knew why Bohemond was so proud. In the chivalrous war this summer, his third son Gabriel was active in the war and captured a lot of money. Bohemond took advantage of this Chance repaid a large amount of Marienburg's debts, and took the opportunity to wipe out several bandit dens, accumulating a lot of wealth.

So did François, and both he and Bohemond owed Ryan's favor in this matter.

"Speaking of which, Kasvann recently did a stupid thing. He saw that Ryan Malcador was actually capable of establishing a trade relationship with the wood elves and making huge profits, so he sent someone into Aesop Loren Forest also wanted to start a trade with the wood elves, and our Duke Palaion thought that he would get the approval of the wood elves if he offered better terms than Ryan's, so what happened?" Francois laughed loudly: " His trade team and knights were shot into a sieve by the wood elves, leaving one alive, and then returned to Palavon with the wood elf's reply, what do you think the wood elf's message is?"

"What is it?" Both Louis and Bohemond asked with interest.

"That is……"
