Chapter 1091, From Lord to Princess and Vice Versa

The carriage continued to move forward. Emilia and her daughter Rem carefully delivered the black tea to Ryan and Talleyrand. Talleyrand was apprehensive, and Ryan took it with a smile. Then nod to show that the bubble is good.

The eldest daughter, Rem, blushed instantly with excitement. To her, getting her father's approval was the best reward.

And Emilia doesn't need this kind of reward. The Duchess of the Empire squinted at Talleyrand's respectful drinking of black tea, thinking that if you say it's not good, I'll kill you.

Talleyrand simply said nothing.

The Duchess of the Empire has a bad temper recently, because she should go back to Nuer. The entire court of Nuer has indeed stayed in Britannia long enough. Now what Nuer has to do is to provide technical support and prepare to transfer the existing The four steam boilers were removed from the Emmanuel-class land cruiser, and then the solar engine was installed on it to start testing.

After testing, the power of Fulgan's modified solar engine is quite perfect. Under the full speed of 1500 horsepower, the Emmanuel-class land cruiser can reach 38-40 km/h at full speed, and there is extra surplus. Unfortunately, even if it is After the Dulong City dwarves took a shot to strengthen the transmission through runes, the speed of 40 kilometers per hour was already the limit of the Land Cruiser.

Therefore, after many discussions, Nuer simply proposed to reinstall the ram angle. Anyway, the transmission can’t be improved, and it can reach 40 at the fastest. The extra power waste is also a waste. It’s better to cancel it for weight reduction. Make up for the lost angle of impact.

As for the new type of steam boiler that was dismantled, it will be refitted on the base of the Sunshine Storm rocket launcher. Ryan plans to change the rocket launcher into a rocket launcher chariot. Kalashnikov completed his own design concept, and the four rocket launcher steam chariots will be designed as a war machine that can load a large number of rocket launchers and increase the range.

This new type of rocket launcher is named "Katyusha", and there are four in total.

As for the energy source of the solar engine, I have roughly figured out that there are two charging methods for this thing. The first is direct charging, which requires psionic filling or bright wind filling. After full filling, it can travel about 500 kilometers. The distance, the second is indirect charging. The instructions sent by Fulgen indicate that indirect charging requires the use of something called a "big plan slate". Don't think about it, let's charge directly.

Very good, do you still want me to be a human battery in the end? Ryan didn't even bother to complain about it.

You all treat me like a human battery, right? Power bank, right? Mobile power, right?

I seem to be used to it.

Thinking of this,

Ryan gently reached out and embraced Emilia in his arms, holding the Countess of the Empire, and they were about to part soon.

Upon seeing this, Talleyrand immediately apologized and said that I went ahead to explore the way, leaving space for Ryan and Emilia.

"Lian, you should also take care of Frederick's affairs. He is also your son." Emilia is 1.6 meters tall and looks very petite in Ryan's arms. When she saw Talleyrand leave, she immediately changed The tone of voice caught Ryan's ears: "Do you want to exert influence on the matter we discussed before? For example, White Wolf City?"

"Emilia!" Ryan said angrily: "Karl Franz is still alive! And alive and kicking!"

"Hmph! I don't care, he is your son and mine anyway." Emilia muttered a few words, and Ryan faintly heard her complaining about something, such as why the emperor was safe and sound? Blue veins appeared on the King of Knight's forehead.

Compared with Suria, Emilia appears to be small in this respect.

His little maid has always wanted to send her son Frederick to the throne of the emperor of the empire, and she has tried her best to promote him since Frederick was born, and little Frederick herself is still doing well, and being a mother is even more satisfying. brain these thoughts.

Having been together for many years, Ryan knows his little maid very well. Due to her early experience and her years of wandering as a mercenary, Emilia is very insecure in her heart. This sense of security is brought by Ryan. The protection, spiritual sustenance and having a son make up for most of it, but Emilia is still a little irritated about the uncertainty of the future in her heart, and letting her son become the emperor of the empire is a way that the little maid thinks can completely solve her worries. way.

This idea grew stronger as Frederick grew older.

And from a certain point of view, there is a paranoid side of Emilia's character.

"How old is Frey this year?" Ryan complained unceremoniously: "Just him? Want to be emperor too? If you want to get my support, at least wait until he is thirty years old. Let me be satisfied."

"Thirty years old." Emilia complained, "I'll be old by then!"

"You won't grow old." Ryan shook his head: "Emperor Karl Franz broke through the sanctuary rank, and even won the hearts and popularity of this battle. The emperor's current authority is the same for a while, even if he hates him the most. The Nuer and Midden leaders dare not disobey his orders. The entire empire is united. If you really think about Frederick, you might as well cooperate with his orders. I can see that, Karl He is also interested in solving the status quo of the empire, this victory has brought him enough prestige, he can start to do some things, but I am a little worried..."

"What are you worried about?" Emilia leaned on Ryan with attachment, and the Duchess of the Empire was used to not thinking about anything when she was with Ryan.

"I'm just a little worried, will it be...too late." The King of Knights sighed. Karl Franz's battle finally united the entire empire, just like Ryan before Courona Defeated Matthew Bard as well.

However, it was too late for Karl Franz to establish his personal authority. Compared with Ryan, it was a full 13 years later!

How many years does the emperor, who is in his fifties and has been on the throne for more than 20 years, still have to carry out reforms?

……… I am the dividing line for 13 years………

The person who came to receive the King of Knights and his party was Adriana, a member of the sorceress assembly. This is a legendary sky witch. Under Veronica's win over, she now has her own independent wizard tower, which is naturally very fragrant.

Following Adriana were thirty witch apprentices, almost all of whom were wearing fiery red orchid robes, summer shirts, pleated skirts and small leather shoes inside. Seeing the great Sun King appear here, the witch apprentices saw The radiance and heat were almost irresistible, they stretched out their hands to hold the hem of the skirt in unison, took a step back, and squatted down to salute Ryan.

Fort Margarita is a castle with a huge area, and it is built on the high mountain of the Gray Mountains. Just outside the castle, there are several deserted barracks. They were the camps established by the imperial crusade army here, and now they have become Attached to the external training camp of witches, this castle purified by the emperor covers an area of ​​about 2.5 hectares. The main castle is twelve stories high, and there are three minarets on the outside, namely the Rose Tower, the Garanta Tower and the Violet Tower. In addition, there is an astronomical tower built in the castle's deputy castle.

Daily necessities, drapes, and murals decorated with orchids are everywhere in the castle, and even the taps in the bathroom are decorated with the shape of orchids. In terms of domestic water in the castle, dwarf craftsmen were asked to build a reservoir in the valley hundreds of meters high to store the clear water flowing out of the stone crevices, and use the natural force of water pressure to provide water for the whole castle including the top floor.

"As expected of Veronica, it's better than mine." Emilia, wearing a maid outfit, led her daughter Rem to point around, admiring the beautiful environment and luxurious decoration of the castle. There was a dazzling light in the Countess' eyes: "Wow, it's not worse than my Elector's palace. If possible, I really want to stay here for a while."

"You are welcome at any time, Your Excellency the Countess of the Empire." Councilwoman Adriana said with a smile, "We welcome you to check in at any time. In fact, Fort Margarita also provides hotel and restaurant services. You can enjoy yourselves here. Browse the world of magic and fantasy."

"Okay, we're not here to travel." The steeple gate opened, and the dome 20 to 30 meters high was filled with magic chandeliers of various colors. The long carpet stretched tens of meters away, and dozens of long tables were covered with Putting it all together, Ryan noticed that almost every window on the castle had a little loli staring at them and his group, their eyes were like hungry wolves, and even some little loli couldn't help but lick their mouths and swallow their saliva.

The four gray knight recruits were surrounded by apprentice witches. It was a bit overwhelming for the young ones. Ryan didn't restrain him too much, but asked bluntly, "Where is Veronica?"

"The speaker is in the speaker's office in the main castle." The female member came up and said, "She is making a magic scroll."

"take me."

"yes."

"Emilia, are you going?" Ryan turned around.

"You're going to discuss things with Veronica, what am I going to do, I'll take Rem around." Emilia shook her head.

Ryan was not reluctant when he saw this. The King of Knights and Raymond greeted him and asked him to restrain his soldiers, and then asked Talleyrand to check the various recent reports of the parliament, and then walked towards the speaker's office alone.

The spiral staircase is very long, and at the end is a shiny oak door. The pattern of fiery red orchids and bright red roses is branded on the door. A tall stone statue blocks the door. It is a fire golem. It only has an upper body and a head. There are two horns on it, and behind it is a row of fine gold magic power transmission lines. Seeing someone appear, a flame lit up in the golem, and it blocked the road: "Please answer the secret order."

"Secret order?" Ryan was stunned for a moment. Is Veronica still playing this?

The King of Knights instantly understood that it was his chief female courtier who was having a temper tantrum with him.

The source still lies with Seele Trovik, and Ryan knew that his decision to let Seele Trovik inherit the Garland Council in the future offended Veronica.

"Any hints?"

The voice of the fire golem continued to sound: "Phoenix or fire, who comes first?"

"..." Ryan thought for a while: "At the beginning of the world, fire should be the first, and the phoenix is ​​the crystallization of fire."

"Correct." The fire golem stepped out of the way before Ryan finished speaking, which made Ryan wonder if it really listened to his answer.

Behind the door is a spacious and beautiful circular room. Veronica almost made her office according to Margarita's previous layout. Behind a large cherry wood table with a width of four meters and a length of two meters The female speaker was sitting, and she was lying on the table, with flames and light beams spraying out from her fingertips, and she was making a magic scroll.

Today, Veronica is wearing a gilded fiery red phoenix dress with slanted slits, low cut and backless, with only two thin suspenders hanging on her tender white shoulders. Exposed outside, the long black-brown hair was slightly combed and held in place by an Ulthuan golden phoenix hairpin. There was light makeup on her sweet and delicate face, and her round almond eyes were full of seriousness.

"What are you up to?" Ryan strode in, and he suddenly flashed behind Veronica like a normal person.

"Oh, you didn't say a word when you came in!" Veronica was taken aback by Ryan. Seeing that it was Ryan, the female speaker angrily stretched out her small fist and hammered him on the head: "Why did you come to find me all of a sudden?" Me? Not going to be with your Lake God Witch, Queen of the Empire, or Queen of Knights?"

"Come and see you." Ryan smiled and put his arms around Veronica's neck, and the King of Knights glanced down secretly.

Well, big and white.

Veronica is wearing black suspender stockings today, with a fiery red aloof orchid pattern on the top of the stockings. Veronica's beautiful legs can be compared with Suria's in terms of slenderness, and compared with For Suria, who likes to wear pantyhose, the female speaker prefers to wear suspenders.

Seeing the man looking down, Veronica was annoyed and funny. She pushed Ryan away from behind. The female speaker's pair of black silk jade feet found her pair of fiery red high heels behind the table, and then stood up. He said angrily, "That's why you came to me?"

"I came to you for two main reasons." Seeing Veronica's indifferent attitude, Ryan pulled a chair and sat down embarrassingly: "First, the Emmanuel-class land cruiser is basically ready for actual combat. Therefore, the plan to modify your light magic instrument to the land cruiser is mature, and secondly, I hope that the sorceress assembly will be ready, and I need your strength for this Obien expedition."

"That's it?" Veronica lost interest after hearing this, and the female speaker shook her head. She put her hands on her hips, and the golden belt showed her alluring waistline in front of Ryan.

"Why, you don't want to?" Ryan asked with a half-smile.

"The assembly hall and I are both your vassals. Did I say that I don't want to be useful?" Veronica still shook her head. It’s enough to issue the king’s order, so why make a special trip? It’s superfluous?”

"I respect you." Ryan said naturally.

"Respect me?" Veronica sneered: "If you really respect me? Can I refuse?"

"I will allocate 30,000 gold kroner to you every year." Ryan took out a thick stack of bills lightly: "Besides, you still have unpaid bills sent to my court every few months. I also paid for it for you, but at this time, you tell me that you are not willing to go on an expedition to Obien?"

"The first few years of rebuilding the parliament were always expensive, and everything had to be rebuilt. I spent all of this money." Veronica had a little pressure on her face, and the female speaker moved a step sideways to her wine cabinet: " Besides, it's not your money... what do you want to drink?"

"It's the country's money!" Ryan said impatiently: "So much money flows to you every year, if it weren't for Suria and I in the palace, there would have been disagreements... Bring me a glass of iced cocoa."

"I guessed it." Veronica had already poured the iced cocoa at this time, and the female speaker sat down opposite Ryan. She put her long black silk legs together and looked at Ryan's now majestic face, a little dazed: " I already guessed it."

"What's the matter? My dear?" Ryan was a little uncomfortable.

"Hey, Ryan, when did our relationship become like this?" Veronica sent ice cocoa to Ryan: "So utilitarian, so simple, only benefits? I will use the council to coerce you, you Coerce me with money?"

"Isn't this your choice?" Ryan couldn't help touching his chin, and the King of Knights laughed: "Since you chose to take over the will to revive the parliament from Margarita, this is inevitable. Or, we are not the little warriors and little witches we used to be. I am now the king of knights, and I am the hope of all people. You are now the female speaker, the great witch of the sanctuary, with more than 20 legendary powerhouses and thousands of witch apprentices. People, we all have a bright future."

"Pfft..." Veronica was amused, and the female speaker laughed first, and her mature laughter enveloped the entire office: "Pfft ha ha ha ha ha~"

Ryan didn't speak, just looked at her and smiled.

After laughing for about twenty seconds, Veronica put away her smile, and the female speaker picked up Coco, letting her long hair cover her eyes.

"Don't you feel a little sad? My dear, I was the first to come. Whether it's adventures together, holidays together, sex together, or the new wizard tower, I'm the first one, but... ...Why do I always have the feeling that as time goes by, my sense of existence and status in your backyard is constantly declining?"

Veronica's voice was emotionless: "Obviously I have paid so much, why do you like Suria the most?"

"This is indeed a question, do you want to hear lies or the truth." Ryan didn't seem surprised at all.

"I want it all."

"Then...the lie is that I like everything about Suria, especially the way the noble girl shows her shy and strange expression in my arms, which gives me a sense of accomplishment." Ryan said with his hands spread out.

"...What is the truth?" Veronica frowned. She still doesn't understand Ryan's taste? But it's not just about Suria, isn't she also being bullied by Ryan all day long?

"The truth?" Ryan's expression became serious: "The truth is actually very simple."

"The truth is, on the surface, your status is from a princess to a lord. You started as a little witch until you became the female speaker, the leader of a force."

"But for me, for me, Ryan Malcador, Veronica, your identity to me is from a lord to a princess."

"And Suria, from the beginning to the end, is my queen, a queen who is equal to me."

"Can you understand what I mean?"
