Chapter 249, Mistress of the Barony
Time is approaching summer, Brittany, Barony of Jean, Baronial Castle.
Marquise Suria is sitting behind the desk, which is where Ryan usually works.
The female knight was wearing a white Marquis de Bretania shirt and a pink-purple hip-wrapping skirt. Her long legs were wrapped in thin gray stockings. She wore fluffy bear slippers on her silk feet, and her bright golden long legs The curly hair almost covered her entire back, and the dignified and noble beauty was full of seriousness. Ryan left, and the affairs of the territory were completely taken over by the female knight. Suria could feel Ryan's trust, not only touched, It's also stressful.
The double left by Ryan is not very reliable. He showed poor acting skills. Suria chose to take over the military and political power by herself. The double stayed in the castle as a mascot most of the time, and occasionally showed up. He didn't even have the basic knight temperament. They can't act well, let alone the heroic aura on Ryan.
A lord's control over the territory is inversely proportional to the time he leaves the territory, but Ryan is different. He left a set of effective team, and then completely handed over the power to Suria. With extremely high prestige in the territory, her orders are unimpeded.
"Miss, this is the latest number of inflows." Katzenberg still called Miss as before.
"To tidy up, I need to know how many artisans, how many serfs, and how many freedmen there are in this group of refugees. I want to see a detailed report at night." Su Liya said calmly.
"Yes." The butler went away in response.
"Miss, there are people violently resisting taxes in the territory. I have brought people to arrest them. How should I deal with them?" Gasparton, the tax officer, reported the situation in the territory.
A large number of migrants are a mixed bag, and many refugees are just interested in the generous benefits that Gene receives, and don't want to work hard.
"How did Ryan deal with this kind of thing in the past?" Su Liya put down the document, her long golden hair hanging from her ears, the female knight was thinking about what had happened, her milk-like skin shone with a moving halo in the sun.
"The baron will hang those who lead the trouble, and imprison the rest to do hard labor. Those who did not participate in the trouble will be scattered to all the villages." Gasparton said cautiously.
"If Ryan is not here... In this way, as long as all those who participated in the violent tax resistance were hanged, and those who did not participate in the riots were assigned hard labor, the mines in the territory just needed manpower to develop new mines. I asked Mr. Angron and Mr. Delong to send them Going to them is for work, don’t kill people.” Ryan’s absence is even more strict, and Suria immediately made a decision.
"Yes." The tax officer also went out.
After one afternoon, all the internal affairs of the Barony were dealt with. The female knight was proficient in the laws of Brittany and knew how to invoke Ryan's handling methods. The arrangements she made were well received by the citizens.
It was around four o'clock in the afternoon, and the door was pushed open, and Olika, who was wearing a maid outfit, pushed the dining car in. The dark elf maid said, "Your Excellency Suria, afternoon tea is ready."
There are many pastries and a pot of black tea in the dining car.
"Miss, take a rest." The maid Sylvia also came in from the door. The girl was wearing the standard aristocratic dress of a dark red coat and a white shirt: "Emilia is here too."
The beautiful and charming little maid also came in from the door in a maid outfit.
The three girls came to the reception table, and Olika served black tea and pastries for the three of them: "Please use it slowly."
"Miss, the situation in the territory is generally stable recently, and most people should not have noticed that the baron has left." Sylvia first described the situation: "The only thing that is a little disturbing is that almost all the knights in the territory follow His Excellency the Duke. Left, if someone really hits, without the Cavaliers, our defense may not be very optimistic.
"
"Well, I will arrange enough rangers to patrol to prevent rogue knights from affecting the security of the territory." Su Liya picked up the black tea, and gently tasted the black tea with her cherry red lips: "Don't worry too much for now, Wood elves and The dwarves have sent someone to emphasize that they will stand with us, and there is Mr. Angron here."
Thinking of Angron who wiped out a whole team of blood knights by himself, the three girls felt at ease, and Emilia jokingly said, "Still called Mr. Angron? Sister Suria, should your name be Angron?" Brother Lang?"
The jade-faced, blushing female knight hurriedly said, "Isn't it... not too late?"
"Olika, you have the closest relationship with Ryan. Can you tell us why you came to Marienburg? Is it because of the war?" Emilia was wearing a shirt and skirt, holding the wood elf's hand. Earthenware teacups.
Hearing this, Suria and Silvia also turned around, and the female knight carefully looked at Olika's beautiful figure. The maid outfit on her body had a natural sense of harmony and beauty. There was a hint of cunning in Surya's sea-blue eyes: "Can you tell me? Orika? Actually, I'm also interested."
The dark elf's amber eyes looked in other directions unnaturally: "I failed in the war and was captured by the high elves..."
The female knight in front of her is putting a lot of pressure on the dark elf, she seems to have advanced to the legendary level.
"Is that so?" Su Liya picked up the teacup, and the female knight had a faint smile on her face: "Is there nothing else?"
With a heavy sense of oppression, the dark elf hesitated. Suria will be Ryan's wife in the future, and her attitude largely determines her own destiny. The female knight in front of her is generous and gentle, but this does not mean that she will let yourself go.
Suria is the daughter of a duke, a marquis from a standard feudal aristocratic family. The education she received since she was a child and her position determine how she will deal with things, not because of her character.
Olika finally decided to reveal some details about her origin: "About two hundred years ago, I was born in the distant and cold Naggaros..."
Olika told a little bit about her experience, whether Suria, Silvia or Emilia could see that the dark elf had reservations, but the female knight was already very happy because the dark elf was willing to speak.
Surya is not jealous, but she will not allow a woman of unknown origin to stay with Ryan, she cannot let Ryan be in danger.
Olika also considered this, so she selectively revealed some of her background, and then she thought for a while, and then gritted her teeth and added: "There are some things I can't say now, this is what I promised Master ,lady."
After hearing the word "madame", Suria smiled. She had already got what she wanted, and the dark elf was surrendering in disguise, surrendering to herself.
She has the support of a lady. In the dream, the fairy of the lake has given her the opportunity.
…………
In the evening of the second day, the city of the curse, Mu Xilong.
Everyone gathered in the big room of the hotel. There was a map on the wooden table in the room. The two half-elves had returned, and Ryan and the others gathered around the table to discuss the situation.
Estelle's robe was a bit damaged. He and Daisy didn't encounter too many problems when following them, but they encountered trouble on the return journey. Mousilon is a city with strict entry and exit restrictions. He and Daisy It took a lot of effort to explain that the two were reluctantly approved to leave the city to buy some special food for the fat merchant. As a price, Estelle and Daisy were searched brutally.
But Ryan kept thinking, being frisked, he was frisked. Why did Estelle and Daisy hold their buttocks: "What's wrong with you? Could it be that the vampire guarding the door is...that?"
"Lian, you bastard, I regret it." The handsome half-elf held his butt in pain, and then whispered in Ryan's ear: "I'm really... vampires suspected that the two of us were secretly carrying prohibited items. They Searched every place on my body, including...that damned vampire just stuck his fingers in and scratched for a long time."
"Pfft~" Demon hunters Abel and Jule couldn't help laughing, Veronica and Teresa covered their mouths and tried their best to hold back the laughter until their faces turned red, while Gerald was a little embarrassed He turned his head away, pretending not to hear.
None of the knights who believed in the Fairy of the Lake had that kind of habit. It seems that the reason was that the Fairy of the Lake hated it very much. On the contrary, there were many such people in the southern country.
"Hahahaha~ dear Estelle, and Daisy, this task has been hard. If you can complete it smoothly, you can get half a month's vacation when you go back." Ryan said with a smile, and he patted Ai Si vigorously. Steer's back: "How is it, can you walk?"
"Sure!" Estelle clapped Ryan's hand away sullenly: "You'd better give me enough vacation."
"No problem, ladies and gentlemen, let Estelle and Days introduce the situation for us."
"We followed Old Deckard's convoy, and his convoy advanced about 20 kilometers until it came to this place on the banks of the Grace Murray River." Estelle's glove touched the Grace Murray River. square place.
"This is a river beach covered by sparse forests and hills. The vampires build siege equipment here. They use water power to help build siege towers and siege weapons, and then transport them directly to the front line." Gerald immediately judged.
"Speaking of such a good place, why don't we go directly to investigate there, but also come to Musillon?" Demon hunter Abel raised his own doubts.
"Because along the Grass Murray River, there are a dozen places like it," Teresa added.
"Very well, get ready, we will leave Musilon now, and we must arrive there at night." Ryan made a decision.
"clear!"
Taking advantage of the evening, Ryan and his party quickly left Musillon. Since the city has always been strict in entry and exit, Ryan's departure did not encounter any trouble. They drove the carriage and rode horses, and hurriedly left the city all the way. Then disappeared into a chaotic wilderness.
Matthew Bard was a bit late after receiving the news, and the young knight-errant still had doubts in his heart, but the Lich King Akhan found him: "We should leave, my godson."
"Godfather? Why?" Matthew Bard looked very puzzled: "Isn't the matter just at a critical moment?"
"Yes, the matter is halfway through, but we have to leave, and the matter here is handed over to Manfred." Akhan shook his head: "We have wasted too much time here."
"But we haven't caught Morgiana yet. We only took away her magic power, but we haven't got her body yet." Matthew Bard knew that the Lich King was meticulous and methodical, so he must have stayed. It's a surefire solution, but the young knight still can't accept giving up halfway.
Akhan shook his head slowly, only white bones remained on its rotten and withered face, and the blue flames in the deep eyeholes: "I can't predict where Morgiana is, she may be hiding in the In a few places, our insider in the Knight Kingdom told me that she was protected. The place is not difficult to guess, at most three or four, but how do we withstand the attacks of dozens or even hundreds of Holy Grail knights, and then go to the She snatched it out?"
Matthew Bud was speechless.
"Before the plan starts, we can spend a long time preparing, because our life is eternal, but once the plan starts, we must complete it as quickly as possible, otherwise it will drag on for a long time." Akhan said in a low voice: "Furthermore, There must be other terrifying forces in Britannia, and I still can't believe that the entire blood knight of the banner team disappeared in the Sharon Forest."
"So where do we go next?"
"Go to the south, Skaven, where the first book of the nine books of Nagash is hidden."
…………
At night, the banks of the Grace Murray River are covered by stretches of woods and rolling hills. After being washed away by the flood, many small towns along the river have all been reduced to ruins, which is providing a large number of vampires. Open space to build siege weapons, where vampires built camps and made more siege towers.
Several carts of stone and hardwood were transported into the camp. The guards stationed outside saw Old Deckard's cart from a distance and shouted, "You're late again! Old Deckard!"
"I'm not late." Old Dyke said blankly while sitting on the cart.
"Come in, come in!" The guards are servants of vampires, human beings hired by them.
The convoy entered slowly.
"What a strong wind!" It was approaching summer, and at night, the wind in the field was very strong, and it was blowing head-on, and the two guards standing on the sentry posts felt that they could not keep their eyes open due to the wind.
Ryan and the others, who were hiding behind a bush and a small tree, set their sights on Estelle and Daisy: "It's up to you."
"Leave it to me!" Ranger Dais felt the strong wind, and the half-elf raised the compound bow behind him, pulled the string, nocked the arrow, and then shot two arrows at the same time in the opposite direction of the sentry post.
"Hoo!" Two arrows were shot high into the sky, and then in the strong wind, the trajectory of the arrows was changed, and the direction of the two feathered arrows deflected in a large arc, whistling towards the sentry post under the gust of wind and go.
"Yes! What a strong wind!" Another guard covered his face with his hands, and he turned his head to say something to his companion.
"Shua!" A feathered arrow came along with the strong wind, and instantly pierced his head.
"Oh!" The companion screamed before he could come, because almost at the same time, a sharp half-elf feather arrow pierced his skull from his temple.
"Plop~" The two guards fell down at the same time, and there was no sound from the sentry post.
