Chapter 279, Annual Leave in the Winery (Part 2)

"What, what is that?" Ryan's eyes widened, Winter Veil Festival, how could such a beast appear in his winery?

"That's the Sphinx." The dark elf Olika reacted immediately: "It shouldn't be here, master, it should be active in the Nicohala Desert!"

"Damn it!" Ryan saw this creature wreaking havoc in his vineyard. It grabbed the corpse of the dead vineyard steward with its pincers and ate it into its stomach. After a full belch, it continued to look for its next prey.

Coming out for the holidays, Ryan didn't wear his psychic power armor today, nor did he bring his own warhammer!

"Olika! Protect Morgiana and Emilia!" Ryan stretched his hand behind his back: "I will deal with this beast!"

"Clang~" Ryan didn't bring his own warhammer and armor, but Nemesis always carried it with him.

Nemesis burning with white flames was unsheathed, and Ryan jumped directly from the window. In the howling wind and heavy snow, the champion of the fairy in the lake landed lightly on the ground. He raised his sword, He yelled at the beast: "Come here, Sphinx, this is not a place for you to run wild!"

"Roar~Wow~!!!" The sphinx beast saw another human appear, and it let out a huge roar.

Ryan's roar attracted not only the beast in front of him, but also the Holy Grail knights stationed in the winery. The lights in the annex were almost turned on instantly, and the Holy Grail knights were reacting rapidly and Wearing gear, they never slacked off on their goddess, even in a resting festival like Winter Veil.

The Sphinx fluttered its huge wings, and rushed directly towards Ryan with a swoop. Its hands were two huge pincers. A bloody and ferocious grin appeared, and the pliers suddenly stretched forward, about to cut off Ryan's body directly.

Like it ate that human.

"Drink!" Ryan had already understood the intention of the evil beast. He held the hilt of the sword tightly with both hands. The Nemesis radiated a light blue light in the cold night. Almost at the moment when the pliers arrived, the sword edge of the Nemesis fell.

"Bang!" Silver sparks and fierce friction sounded on the sphinx's pliers at the same time. With the scream of the beast, Ryan chopped off the entire pliers with his sword, and the yellow blood It sprayed out from the wound, and the evil beast suffered pain, and it howled miserably and kept backing away.

The offensive was interrupted, and Ryan took advantage of the victory to pursue him. He kept walking and rushed towards the Sphinx.

On the second floor of the wine castle, Morgiana came to the window with Emilia's support, and the lake goddess's face was full of shock: "Necromancer Sphinx, why did you appear here?"

The long sword at Emilia's waist was trembling constantly. The little maid noticed the movement of her sword, but she acted as if nothing had happened: "Necrosphinx?"

"This is a half-biological, half-metal construct in the Nicohala Desert. It is a war monster of the Tomb King, but...how did it appear here?" Mogiana couldn't help being surprised.

The dark elf Olika frowned slightly. She also recognized this creature. Olika first saw Morgiana's unsteady posture, and then at Emilia and the trembling sword at her waist.

She began to chant a spell, summoning her staff.

Through the window sill, the sphinx beast is fighting Ryan. Its metal-covered body filled with flesh and blood is harder than steel, but it doesn't bother Ryan at all. Nemesis waved, those sturdy The metal is easily cut through.

"Roar~" The Sphinx suffers continuously, but its body is really strong and abnormal, and the Nemesis can cut open its carapace,

But it was difficult to pierce something deeper, and it retreated a little, and then slammed forward.

The biting cold wind made Ryan unable to open his eyes, and he immediately turned over to avoid it. The Sphinx rushed forward continuously and trampled a piece of vines.

"For the lady!" The Holy Grail knights appeared. They were fully armed, holding up their swords and shields, and surrounded the Sphinx beasts.

The evil beast obviously felt something was wrong. It could tell that the humans surrounding it were all powerful, and the humans in front of them could not be defeated after fighting for a long time, let alone so many Holy Grail knights.

Under continuous siege by the Holy Grail Knights, the evil beast fell into a disadvantage. The necromantic sphinx lowered its head and let out an angry roar. Its human face and mouth opened wide, and a large blue flame spewed out.

The Holy Grail knights held up their shields to resist, but the blue flames could not break through the blessing of the fairy in the lake.

The evil beast took this opportunity to spread its wings suddenly, and it flapped its wings and flew into the sky. The evil beast roared in the sky, and it spit out blue flames, covering a vineyard in the blink of an eye. Fortunately, due to the large amount of snow, The flame did not burn.

"Oops!" Ryan's face changed slightly, and the beast flew directly towards the wine castle!

Above the wine castle, the faces of Morgiana and Emilia also changed, and the little maid hurriedly helped the Lake God Witch: "Her Highness Morgiana, the sphinx beast is coming towards us, please stay away for now." a bit!"

"Damn it!" Morgiana subconsciously wanted to mobilize her magic power, but her body was empty, only the spirit pattern engraved by Ryan contained a psionic energy left by him.

Morgiana didn't want to use this power, so she had to try to use it at this time.

At this moment, Olika was chanting a mantra: "Power of Chaos, listen to my order, the name of Ess, pale flame."

At some point, a huge staff appeared in the dark elf's hand. This staff was dark blue in color, with a huge ruby ​​inlaid on the top.

The dark elf's body was filled with purple-black magic power surging and surrounding her. These magic powers entered her body and gradually turned into a purer dark purple color. Olika's waist-deep hair fluctuated with her master's movements. , she stood in place, gently shaking her staff, the power of black magic gathered between the staff.

Then, the dark elf released all the mana in one breath: "Huh~"

"Seven-ring magic, destroy the magic arrow!"

The sky exploded, and violent lightning was released from a purple-black light cluster. The pale lightning thicker than a bucket tore through the cold air in the night, and directly hit the body of the Sphinx.

"Boom~crack~boom~" With the deafening explosion, the sphinx was torn apart in the air with almost no resistance, and its golden wings were blown to pieces. It exploded at an altitude of 500 meters and turned into ashes, leaving only a cloud of green smoke and countless fragments.

"Wow! Sister Olika! You are so powerful." Emilia let out a sigh of relief when she saw that the crisis was over, her pretty face was full of envy: "I didn't even know you were so powerful." magic."

After releasing such a powerful spell, the dark elf's face turned slightly pale. She raised the corners of her mouth and looked at the Lake God Witch with disdain.

Morgiana's face immediately sank.

After a while, Ryan came back, with some snow on his body, and the count took the Nemesis back into the scabbard: "I don't know where the beast came from. Durand is dead. According to the Holy Grail knights, it seems to have come from The nearby Oracle Mountains flew over to look for food..."

"Master~" Ryan was only halfway through his words when Olika suddenly changed from calm to weak. She barely moved a few steps crookedly and then fell towards Ryan.

…………

About three hours later, the Winter Veil dinner continued. The only difference was that the dark elf sat on Ryan's lap, enjoying Ryan's feeding: "Master, I want to eat this."

"Okay, Olika, I'm going to trouble you this time." Ryan used a fork to pick up a piece of toast coated with honey, and sent it to the dark elf's mouth: "If it wasn't for you, we would have been in a lot of trouble this time, and I would I don't know how to deal with this thing."

"Master, I still want to eat this."

"Master, I have no strength."

The dark elf took the opportunity to act like a baby to Ryan, with a strange blush on her face, and accepted Ryan's feeding frankly.

Emilia is okay, Morgiana's face turned black, and the lake god witch scooped up the corn and vegetable soup with a spoon, trying to divert Ryan's attention: "Why did the Sphinx appear in the Oracle Mountains? And I will come to your territory again, I think there must be a conspiracy, the Sphinx is a war monster of the Tomb King, could it be Settra? Or Arkhan?"

"I don't know too well. The only thing we can know is that this evil beast is stuck in the Oracle Mountains for some reason." Ryan fed the dark elf, and Emilia cut off the turkey drumsticks for Ryan. Send it to Ryan.

Under the bright magic lamps and silver candlesticks, the house was full of joy. The attack of the evil beast did not affect the mood of Ryan and others during the festival, except that Morgiana's face was too ugly.

"The Sphinx needs to forage for food, and it needs to replenish its calories." Morgiana's tone was slightly angry, and her speech was not pleasant: "The Nicohala Desert is hot and rainless all year round, and the Sphinx Sphynx can sleep for a long time, but Britannia has a mild and rainy climate, especially the cold winter makes Sphinx very uncomfortable, so it has to come out to look for food."

"Then the question is, why did the Tomb Kings arrange this creature in the Oracle Mountains? I remember that there is no hatred between me and the Tomb Kings." Ryan fed the dark elves the thick soup, and he thought carefully Said: "Then... Arkhan, the Lich King? It doesn't look like that either."

Akhan did come near his territory, but he was wiped out immediately, only the Lich King himself was spared. In this case, Akhan would not have time to put the Sphinx beast Oracle Mountains to go.

Ryan found the whole thing odd.

Ryan and Morgiana discussed this topic for a while, and couldn't say anything new. Seeing this, Ryan changed the topic, and he said with some regret: "Durand is dead, and half of his body was taken by the Sphinx." The beast swallowed it, and the rest of the body fell into the vineyard, I think I need a new winery director."

"Sister Suria has many excellent winemakers." Emilia's tone also contained some regrets: "Mr. Durand is very dedicated, but he still lacks in management ability. There are many excellent winemakers, as long as you talk to Sister Suria, Ryan, many winemakers are willing to work under your command."

"Really." Ryan didn't say anything more, he responded casually.

The Earl knew that his team was full of various factions, including Gasparton, the tax officer sent by the Fairy of the Lake, Morgiana, the Witch of the Lake Goddess, Katzenberg, the housekeeper from Winford College, and his fiancée Su Li. Asia, also includes many foreign knights and local knights, as well as dwarves and wood elves, and even dark elves like Orika.

There needs to be a balance between the factions, but when it comes to the ability to make wine and run the winery, there is no doubt that the Duchy of Wenford has the best wine masters in the old world.

The next few are the master winemakers of Bordereau and the winemakers of Carcassonne.

"In this case, I will write to His Excellency François, asking him to send me a new person in charge of the winery." After thinking about it, Ryan decided to ask his father-in-law for help.

Winford's wine culture is so famous. It has the only super first-class winery in the old world and two of the five first-class wineries. Nether Principality and Aviland of the Empire.

Francois, Duke of Winford, has been supporting and infiltrating Ryan since his rise, and even married his daughter to him. Ryan's rise has largely benefited from Francois' support. Naturally, they reciprocated. Wood elves' goods, dwarves' precision weapons and armor, and various magic potions produced by Veronica's wizard tower greatly promoted the continued prosperity of Wenford Principality.

There will be rewards if you pay, and there will be no gains if you don’t pay.

After dinner, it was already very dark outside. Due to a lot of time delay, it was already past ten o'clock in the night after dinner, and it was time for everyone to rest.

"His Royal Highness Morgiana, I will be with Olika at night, so I won't go there." After dinner, while Emilia was washing the dishes, Ryan said to the Lake God Witch: "Olika...is a little weak. "

"She's weak? I saw that she was very energetic before." Morgiana said angrily, "She was weak as soon as you appeared."

Ryan couldn't say anything about this, so he could only smile back. Morgiana was obviously sulking, and she was more angry at herself for being useless. If she was in a normal state, it would be no problem for a high-level magic to solve the Sphinx , but this time it was overtaken by the dark elves, who were regarded as enemies.

Back in the master bedroom, after a brief wash, Ryan lay in the middle of the bed, Olika lay on his chest with a flushed face, and the dark elf was wearing a purple velvet nightgown, revealing a pair of black silk legs under the nightgown: "Master , things are a little strange today."

"Yes, I also find it very strange." Ryan hugged his exclusive pillow and blew softly in her ear: "Olika, you performed well today. If it weren't for you, things might go wrong." Very troublesome."

The dark elf put his arms around Ryan's neck: "Master, do you think the Sphinx came down for Highness Morgiana?"

"Otherwise? I suspect that the sphinx beast came for Morgiana. The vampire never gave up looking for Morgiana's whereabouts." Ryan nodded.

"No...Master, I think this evil beast is probably coming after you."

"What?" I want to chat about "Warhammer God" with more like-minded people, follow "Youdu Literature" on WeChat, chat about life, and find a confidant~
