Chapter 268, Leisurely Early Winter

"Yuli, from the first time I met your sister, I knew that I'm committed to you as a friend." Ryan held his glass and jokingly elbowed Julius's arm, "What, you Don't you want your sister to marry me?"

"If I don't want to, do you think you can get engaged to Suria?" Julius leaned on the railing of the courtyard, holding a wine glass in his hand, "But I still have to say, Ryan, you are such a wicked soul." light."

"Being able to marry Suria, I'm either a soul or a soul." Ryan said with a thick-skinned smile.

"Can I throw you off the courtyard?" Julius was annoyed when he saw Ryan grinning. He really wanted to punch Ryan's face that needed to be punched.

But the legitimate son of the Duke of Winford also knows that Ryan can be called his brother-in-law for a while. At least Julius can't think of a better partner than Ryan. Unless his sister is sent to Be a nun in the Convent of the Saintess, otherwise she must marry someone, and how could François be willing to send Suria to become a nun? The Duke himself only has this prostitute daughter.

The countess who became the champion of God's Choice is not a bad ending. Most of the marriages of the duke's daughters are unhappy, because most of the marriages of the duke's daughters are political marriages.

"I will leave Suria to you, Ryan, I know that you are the God-Chosen Champion of ladies. Over the years, countless enemies have died in your hands. The way of chivalry has been perfectly reflected in your body. You Your feat inspired the knights of the kingdom and pierced terror into the hearts of the female enemies, but I still want to emphasize that if you treat my sister badly, I will hold a sharp sword and demand a duel with you." Juliu Si looked at Ryan and said bravely, "At that time, guess who Suria will support?"

"This kind of thing won't happen, Yuli." Ryan said seriously, holding the wine, "Never."

Julius nodded upon seeing this, and the two men stood together by the railing of the courtyard, looking at the rich Helenhild, the capital of the Wenford Principality, it was already late autumn, and under the withered yellow leaves was a prosperous city, For his future father-in-law, Ryan is of course not hesitating to open up business routes. Dwarves' precision weapons, wood elves' various goods, and a large number of magic potions produced by Veronica's Dawn Wizard Tower can all be sold in Winford's market. See you on

Julius stared at Ryan for a long time with his handsome and cold face, which made Ryan a little embarrassed, "What's wrong, Yuli, I'm a little scared when you look at me like this."

"Before I knew it, I was pulled away by you." Julius sighed, "I urgently need more training, but the whole kingdom has been quiet recently, and there is no war. I heard that you plan to recruit troops during the winter slack period. , prepare for a new war"

"A small war aimed at cleaning up the Beastmen and Greenskin tribes in Sharon Forest. I will recover some lost land, then build villages and reclaim farmland." Ryan held his wine glass, "There won't be too many people. There is an army of more than a thousand and dozens of knights, and I will not personally participate in this war, and my bannerman Armand will lead this army."

"Then please let me participate." Julius said seriously, "I need war to hone myself."

"It can be, but" Ryan frowned.

"I will follow the command of His Excellency Armand." Julius added immediately.

"In that case, be careful, I hope you will live to attend my formal wedding with Suria."

"I certainly will."

With several heavy rains in autumn, winter in Brittania has arrived, and this year's winter has arrived extraordinarily early. The cold wind is blowing the earth, and people have to wear thick clothes and animal skin cloaks to resist the cold. , with the complete sowing of winter wheat, the serfs began to enter the slack time again.

In the early winter afternoon, it was raining heavily. Ryan sat in his master bedroom and read a book quietly. He looked at the heavy rain outside the castle. Winter is here, and this heavy rain brings a deep cold that penetrates into the bone marrow. kind of rainy day,

Even the knights will suspend their activities and hide in the room to warm up by the fire.

The new earl was wearing casual clothes, and he leaned leisurely on the soft armchair. Ryan wasn't too afraid of the cold, so he didn't wear much clothes, but Olika, who was sitting in front of the fireplace, couldn't do it. The elf was wearing a thick maid's long skirt, and breathed out cold air.

"It's really cold, master." Olika focused on the fireplace, and the dark elf carefully added firewood to the fireplace. "The firewood is almost gone. I'll go get some back."

The sparks in the fireplace made a "crackling" sound, Olika put on her white bear fur coat, went out and brought back some firewood for the fireplace.

The best wood elf carpet is on the floor of the master bedroom. Ryan stipulated that he must change into slippers when entering his room. The earl breathed a sigh of boredom. Since he was engaged to Suria, the chance for the female knight to meet him On the contrary, it has become less. One of the reasons is that Helen Hilde will block the mountain with heavy snow. The only chance to meet each other, the fairy in the lake will immediately find an excuse to let Suria go to her tower to carry out " Learning before marriage".

She did it on purpose, Ryan thought with black lines all over his head.

Although they are engaged, Ryan and Suria will not get married so soon. It will take at least two to three years to prepare for the entire wedding, and it will take longer if it is another nobleman.

"How are the preparations at Armand's place?" Ryan asked Orika.

"The army of 1,500 people has been assembled, and now we can start when the rainy season is over, and Miss Veronica is also ready." Orika nodded, "The dwarves and wood elves are also waiting, This is a rare opportunity for actual combat, and everyone attaches great importance to it."

"Very good." Ryan nodded, and he smiled, "If I guess correctly, she will be here soon."

When "she" Olika was a little strange, the door of the room rang.

"Lian is me." The sorceress' voice sounded outside the door.

"Dear Teresa, please come in." Ryan put down the mug and said towards the door.

The door of the room opened, and Teresa's slender figure appeared at the door of the room. The female sorceress put on light makeup on her glamorous face. She was wearing a light chiffon shirt with apricot-carved tulle and a wine red lace collar. The fine plaid dress, the perfect waistline is fully exposed in front of Ryan, the slender and straight legs under the skirt are wearing black stockings, the sorceress's well-proportioned black silk long legs and beautiful black silk feet make Ryan unable to resist I took a few more glances.

Seeing Ryan looking at her lap, Teresa blushed a little, but she still reached out and pushed her black butterfly-patterned glasses, "Lian, you're looking for me"

Ryan stretched out his fingers to the wood elf carpet on the ground, and Olika immediately gave Teresa fluffy slippers. Seeing this, Teresa bent down to untie the lace of her high heels, and painted the toenails of her little feet in stockings. Wearing blue nail polish, the sorceress's casual movements show her endlessly charming style. Teresa, who just turned 30 this year, is in the best time of a female spellcaster's life.

"Olika, you go out first, I have something I want to talk to Teresa." Ryan took the initiative to welcome Teresa's arrival, and the dark elf should have seen it, and left the room.

"Lian" Teresa saw that Ryan's eyes kept rolling on her head, and the sorceress couldn't help but feel a little happy in her heart.

Without saying anything, Teresa thought about it for a long time when she heard that Ryan was going to see her, and decided to dress up specially.

"Teresa, sit down." Ryan signaled the sorceress to sit down on the chair next to him. Two cups of black tea have already been brewed on the small table, as well as the fairy blueberry cake made by Ryan and the fairy in the lake. We haven't chatted in this leisurely way for a long time since we went to the hotel in Noordmejorden Haven."

"You also know, Ryan, I thought you had forgotten our time of adventure together." Teresa looked at Ryan's half-smile with her silver eyes, and said unhappily, "I heard that this winter offensive will attack you." Arrange for Veronica and her apprentices to participate"

"Yes, this war will not be too dangerous. The Beastmen and Greenskin tribes in Sharon Forest have been cleared many times by my elder brother Angron. In this cold season, the beasts The combat effectiveness of humans and green-skin tribes is very low, and this is a good opportunity to gain enough actual combat experience." Ryan put down his teacup, and he set his sights on Teresa's, "Speaking of it, Teresa, take advantage of this opportunity , I want to ask about your plan? You really plan to build a wizard tower in my territory, so what about the Garland Council?"

Teresa's beautiful eyebrows raised, and she kind of knew why Ryan was always worried about him.

Veronica has always been alone, she can devote herself to Ryan without any scruples, but Teresa is different, she is the daughter of Elder Aurora, Ryan is a little worried about whether she is three minutes .

"Mother and Speaker Margarita have reached an agreement on certain issues." Teresa raised her head, and her plump softness was shaking behind her shirt, "Garland will build a branch here, and Veronica and I will build a branch here in the future." will stay with you forever.”

Ryan thought to himself, aren't Aurora and Speaker Margarita from two factions?

"Ryan, you have grown up too fast. The council once deduced that you should be able to be promoted to earl within ten years, but this is the third year you have come to Britannia." Of course Teresa saw Ryan question, the sorceress said softly, "Trust me, Ryan."

"Of course I believe you, dear Teresa, we sneaked into Musillon together this time. If you hadn't resisted Manfred desperately, we would have died there. I have always believed in you." Ryan shook gently The earl saw all of Teresa's devotion to him, "But I still won't let you go with the army on this expedition, because I have other arrangements for you."

"Anything else?" Teresa asked curiously.

"This winter, you can live in the guest room on the third floor." Ryan handed a thick book to Teresa, "In the past few months, I will teach you Gothic. If my female courtier If you don’t speak High Gothic, then many things will be difficult for you.”

"Who's going to be your female courtier?" The sorceress blushed at Ryan's sudden words, but she didn't say anything. "Before I met you, I always thought you were a gentleman, but you turned out to be a playboy. "

"Didn't I say it, I've always been a gentleman." Ryan complained, "Don't ask me for the universal value of those church pastors, what must be single-minded, must be a rigid old man, I am not, I have no world There are always a lot of people like this, they first make up a honest and honest image of the Holy Grail Knight, and then forcefully take this image with me, and they are disappointed when they find out that it is not, but I have never, never been that kind of person.”

"It is true that the Holy Grail Knight is a living saint, but the only standard for our behavior is our own understanding of the eight knight virtues. Many people like to impose their superficial understanding on us, but the Holy Grail never lies."

"Pfft." The sorceress couldn't help laughing, "So you refused my partner's proposal repeatedly during the trip, and it was at this time that you became single-minded again, and you turned around and got engaged to the Duke's daughter."

"Abiding by the spirit of the contract is two different things, please don't confuse them." Ryan said with a smile, "So, you can stay with me these few months and wait until you have fully mastered Gothic. Let's talk about your wizard tower construction."

"Okay, but I also want to get your full support like Veronica." Teresa thought of being able to stay with Ryan all winter, and she felt a little excited, her beautiful legs wrapped in black stockings trembled slightly Then, she set out her own condition "to do my best, without reservation."

"Of course, I promise." Ryan nodded, "In the past few months, I will teach you a lot of things, some you know, some you don't know, and even some things you can't imagine, Theresa, I Let me ask you one last time, have you really made up your mind? Once you learn these things, you will only be my female courtier from now on."

"If I didn't want to, I wouldn't have chased you to your territory." Teresa said quietly, "You know how much courage it takes for a proud Garland congresswoman to chase a man's territory what?"

"That's for you," Ryan said softly, "I understand, I understand."

"I want that too" Teresa's tone changed, her always proud and glamorous face was blushing, "Veronica told me that you can engrave your own woman with a kind of spirit pattern"
