Chapter 246, Mu Xilong's Past
This group of businessmen happened to be Ryan's group.
Ryan left Suria and Emilia as housekeepers. The female knight's huge prestige in his territory and her status as the future wife made her easily take over the highest power in the baron. Ryan also chose a substitute Staying in the territory, temporarily let Emilia make up the substitute to look like herself to confuse the enemy.
The two half-elven guards are Estelle and Daisy, the blond sword and shield guard is Alfred, the taciturn butler is the kingdom knight Jerrod, and the woman who is under the control of the fat man is Veronica. The hooked-nose maid is Teresa the sorceress, and she is taking off the hooked nose on her face in great pain: "If I don't have a choice, I really don't want to wear this."
The two coachmen were the hired demon hunters Abel and Jule. They had been to Ryan's territory. When they heard that there was a big deal, they quickly agreed. Demon hunters always live on a knife edge. career.
As for the fat businessman Gabe Newell, it was naturally disguised by Ryan. It was not convenient for him to remove his makeup, but he still gave Alfred a thumbs up: "Ah Fu, that's great, you don't look like a paladin at all. , looking like a street bum."
"You want me to feel like we went to eat pies together when we were kids before the show, I think I did it." Alfred flicked his long blond hair, looking obscene, and the corners of his mouth almost reached The ears are on, and he has a little ugly scar on purpose on his face.
Veronica clutched her chest angrily: "Ryan! You're a little weaker, I'm yours too. If you crush it, be careful that our children will starve in the future!"
"Hmph~ If I come to act, there won't be so many problems." Teresa said dissatisfiedly: "If you don't want to act, I can do it."
"Huh? You come? I'm afraid our eldest lady will be seen through at a glance?" Veronica said disdainfully, her sweet face was full of provocation: "Come on, just you? Trovik?"
"You're just flirty, Veronica!" Teresa's cold face was burning with anger.
"It's because you don't look like a woman, Trovik, are you really a woman? Why don't I think you don't look like it?" Veronica immediately returned her tongue, and the witch made the sorceress speechless.
In fact, after Ryan clarified the plan, Teresa immediately fell in love with the role of Veronica, because this character can have close contact with Ryan.
It's a pity that the female sorceress couldn't act that kind of romantic and profane taste. After several "auditions", she was eliminated miserably, and Veronica's acting skills were well received by everyone, including the witcher. Leisa can only play the ugly hook-nosed maid.
"You have to act to the end, Veronica." Ryan was about to comfort Veronica with a hug, but the witch subconsciously avoided, and she looked disgusted: "It's okay for you to touch, but don't use your Put your face on me, Lane!"
"It's not convenient for me to remove my makeup, my great witch." Ryan said innocently.
"Then don't touch me! I only accept you as you are!" Veronica said impatiently, Ryan had to spread his hands when he saw this, and everyone burst into laughter.
"Okay, gentlemen and ladies, let's settle down first, and then start the next step."
Fifty minutes later, everyone cleaned themselves up. Everyone gathered in the big room, and the demon hunter Jule stayed outside to watch the wind. After repeated inspections by Abel and Jule, it was true that no one followed them. .
Outside the hotel, the sky is full of stars.
Sir Jerrod, who had already bathed and prayed, was wearing ordinary linen clothes a little awkwardly. He frowned: "Ryan, according to your plan, we have successfully sneaked in."
Veronica changed into a white woolen sweater and blue knee-high skirt, and put on flesh-colored stockings on her beautiful calves. She sat directly behind Ryan with her legs bent, and put her silk feet on Ryan's lap ,
Witches who like to wear dresses don't show their legs bare-legged under any circumstances, except in the bathroom and in Lane's bedroom.
Teresa changed into a black and white striped blouse and black straight-leg trousers. The sorceress was also sitting on the bed in the big room, but she was a little reserved and not as open as Veronica. Just sit next to Ryan.
"Mousilon, the city of the curse, is also the area currently controlled by vampires. Since the Dole Tower incident, the knights have come to the city of Mousilon more than a dozen times, but they always returned without success. After the lady summoned the flood After that, the conditions for manufacturing siege equipment have been lost outside the city, and my plan is that we create damage in the city, destroy the siege equipment and the site where the siege equipment is manufactured." Ryan said in a deep voice: "As long as there are no siege equipment, there are With Lord Francois and Lord Boderick here, even if the vampires fight for another three months, they will not be able to take Turis."
"In that case, the Red Duke, who is destined to fail, can only retreat." Alfred agreed.
"Hmm... so we have to find out where the vampires made the siege equipment and find a way to destroy them. The time is only three days." Veronica said softly: "Otherwise Ryan's mask will fail."
"Speaking of which, I really admire you, Ryan, you can actually get such an identity." Estelle suddenly said some digressions.
"It's a bit of a coincidence to say this..." Ryan explained what happened.
Marienburg Grand Duke Van der Guber-Schulz, the emperor's special envoy can easily identify vampires. He once secretly executed piles of vampires and businessmen colluding with vampires on the outskirts of Marienburg, and killed A vampire ancestor level figure, one of the businessmen is Hoffman, this businessman has trade with Mu Xilong's vampires, Ryan just borrowed this identity to help him act.
It's just that this businessman is not good at disguising. Emilia used all her abilities, but she still couldn't reproduce the businessman's posture and tone.
So Ryan simply put on makeup to look like a fat man. After a person is obese, his voice, expression, and movements will change greatly, so that the suspicion of vampires is relatively small.
Gerald nodded slowly, and the kingdom knight said with some admiration: "Everything is according to your plan, and our infiltration is generally successful."
"Then the question now is, how do we find the place where the vampires build siege weapons?" said ranger Daisy, and the half-elf didn't talk much: "Mousilon's place is seriously corrupted, and our perception is affected. severely restricted.”
Several people present nodded, and Teresa, the sorceress, approached Ryan slightly when she saw this, and she said softly: "Me too, the wind of magic is very unstable, and there are traces of chaos and corruption everywhere. What is the reason, Mu?" What will become of Shiron?"
"Mousilon?" Ryan sighed. After thinking for a while, he decided to start from the beginning: "Mousilon will start with the founding of Brittany."
"Hundreds of years ago, Brittania was successfully established under the leadership of King Arthur. At that time, there were twelve first-generation Holy Grail knights in the country. Among them, Arthur's close comrade-in-arms, Landuin from Musilon was one of them. one of the
"Landuin is a perfect example of chivalry. Not only was he personally blessed by the fairy of the lake to become the Holy Grail Knight, but there are even many signs that he is stronger than Arthur. His sword "Light of the Lake" ' Having drank the blood of countless powerful enemies, he valued the eight virtues of knighthood even more than life."
"But everything was changed by Arthur's death. Arthur's death brought a heavy blow to Landuin. The first Holy Grail Knight and Duke Musillon fell into complete grief. At that time, Musillon was still A dukedom with a long coastline and fertile land, but Landuin is really too powerful. He is so strong that his own sorrow has infected and corrupted his territory, so Mousilon is gradually eroded by swamps. Known as the 'Great Depression,' Landuin also soon died in grief."
The people present fell into a long silence. Most of the people present were foreigners, so not many people knew about Mu Xilong's inside story.
But there was another person who knew about it, and that was Jerrod. Seeing that Ryan was silent, he continued the matter.
The death of Landuin did not end the tragedy of Musillon, a large number of swamps gradually flooded the Dukedom of Musillon. Two hundred years after Landuin's death, another tragedy happened in Musillon, that is, the "Mad Duke" "The Merovingian incident.
Merovingian used to be a proud warrior. After inheriting the throne, his mind was full of desire to revive Musillon and restore the glory of Landuin's period, but his excessive desire made the Duke himself go astray. Under the misguided guidance of an aide, he became involved in black magic and embarked on a path of no return.
At that time, a plague broke out in Britannia under the conspiracy of the Ratman, and then took the opportunity to invade the kingdom of knights. They first sent troops to aid the Principality of Belaon, and then joined forces with the wood elves and Palaon's army to eliminate the Ratmen, making great military exploits. However, their enthusiasm for slaughter and bloodthirsty has been criticized by many people.
This incident made Meroving very sad, because the Duke still felt that he could stand shoulder to shoulder with Landuin at this time, so Meroving took this opportunity to invite all the dukes and kings to his castle for a banquet , the dukes and kings also gladly went.
The guests at the banquet were at a loss. The castle was covered with countless corpses, and all the servants were tortured to death. Meroving took out delicious food to entertain everyone, and then mocked the king, saying that he was jealous of his achievements.
At that time, the King of Knights was furious. He chose to take out his gloves and demanded a duel with Merovingian. The fallen and corrupted Merovingian had gained great power. After a fierce duel, the King of Knights was killed by Merovingian. In order to show humiliation, Meroving drank the king's blood from a golden cup, and then began to compete for the king's position.
Perhaps it was because of Merovingian's great military exploits in repelling the Ratmen, and perhaps because the dukes were really afraid of Merovingian's bravery. The ideal of my life.
However, his good luck ended here. Only a few days after he came to the throne, the lake goddess of that generation appeared, and she announced that the lake fairy refused to recognize Meroving as the king of Britannia. At the same time, the Knights of the Holy Grail Assembled, the Holy Grail knights brought the trial of the fairies in the lake. The dukes responded to the order of the lake god and witch and made Meroving an enemy, so the outnumbered Merovingian was defeated and killed. After the war, the lake god and witch declared Mu Xi The title of the Duke of Long was cancelled, half of the territory was ceded to the Principality of Lyonnaise, and the remaining half of the territory and the city of Mousilon became the Duke of Connaught, and then a new Duke of Connaught was appointed.
After that, there was the Dole Tower incident, that is, the false Holy Grail incident. This incident has already been mentioned above. After the Dole Tower incident, the Duke of Connaught’s title was also cancelled, and the vampires have been illegally occupying Mu Xilong and Connaught. Duchy to this day.
After a long period of history was finished, Gerald and Alfred's faces were full of resentment, Ryan was a little regretful, Veronica's eyes were shining, and she didn't know what she was thinking, and Teresa had some feelings about these stories. Feeling, but that's all.
"In this way, tomorrow we will hold a steam summer special promotion in Musillon's town." Gabe Newell, played by Ryan, smiled: "Manufacturing siege weapons requires huge manpower and material resources. As long as you search carefully, there will always be There are some clues."
Alfred and others nodded, among them, the demon hunter Abel immediately took over the conversation: "Your Excellency Ryan, leave this matter to us demon hunters, we are best at this."
"Okay, we also shipped a batch of Wood Elf goods this time. Vampires are not interested in these things, but there are many people who are interested in these goods in the city. Vampires cannot exist independently of other creatures because they need blood. Ryan went on to say: "Estelle, Daisy, the task of selling goods is entrusted to you, try to be as arrogant as possible, just like the forest faces those unwelcome guests but has to make false claims with them. "
"Understood." The two half-elves nodded again and again.
"Jerrod, you are in charge of vigilance. We have the permission of the vampire lord. If someone tries to grab something, you can do it directly." Ryan continued to instruct Gerald, and the knight of the kingdom expressed his understanding. Unlike many knights, my cousin was more determined and pious, but also more flexible.
"Veronica, just hide in the carriage with me and listen to the movement outside. Ah Fu, you are hawking over there, be more enthusiastic, and show the energy you used to spread the faith."
"Okay!" "Understood, good friend."
Teresa heard Ryan ordering again and it was not her turn, so the female sorceress was a little anxious: "What about me? Ryan?"
"Just stay in the carriage with me." Ryan added, and Veronica continued with a smile: "Anyway, you can't do much, Trovik."
On the second day, at Mu Xilong's market, a brand new stall opened in the middle of the market.
"Steam summer special has started! In order to give back to our valued guests, Mr. Gabe Newell from Fort Marien highly recommends it!"
"Wood Elf Perfume 51% OFF!"
"Wood Elf Satin 75% OFF!"
"60% OFF Wood Elf Gem Jewelry!"
"33% OFF of Winford wine!"
The various green signs aroused the carnival of the residents. Alfred stood in front of the booth and shouted: "Buy, buy, buy!"
"Buy! I want this!" "I want this!" "Wow! The lowest price in history!" The residents of Musillon silted up the streets, and the residents held up money and snapped up precious commodities.
"Steam summer special, catch your heart, you deserve it!" The fat businessman poked his head out of the carriage, he smiled slightly, his narrowed eyes exuded terrible magic power, and gestured to the residents. thumbs up.
"I'm Gabe Newell, welcome to the Steam Summer Sale, and have fun."
