Chapter 358, Departure

"Pavar?"

In the old world, Britannia, the Duchy of Winford, the Earl of Glamorgan, the center of Jean Town, a bar "Holy Grail" on the Avenue of Champions, the Holy Grail Knight Armand and the Kingdom Knight Hux are also chatting. About the knight's promotion order.

This bar is the most high-end bar in the town. Here you can see all the fine wines in the world, including wood elf cider, and the top-quality wines "Obiang", "Latour" and "Luo" produced by several major wineries in Wenford. Salus", the Empire's fine brewed ale "Cobain's Premium" (specially provided by the royal family), dwarf Bagman beer and the ultimate magic brew produced by the high elves.

Even some distinguished guests can taste the "lady's collection" produced next to the fairy tower in the lake, cultivated grapes and brewed by the fairy in the lake.

The "Lady's Reserve" is produced in very small quantities, so only a very few people are eligible to drink it, although Ivan, the Duke of Griffin from the Empire, pointed out the taste of the Lady's Reserve after tasting all the fine wines in Britannia and the "Lady's Reserve" Better than all other wines in the Old World, but still a little inferior to Winford's Super Premier "Lusalus", but all Bretons still firmly believe that the Ladies' Reserve is the best wine in the world.

Francois, the father-in-law of Earl Lane, firmly believes so.

There are not many guests in the bar. There is no doubt that they are all famous figures in the old world, great nobles, holy grail knights, expeditionary knights, and wealthy businessmen. The owner of the bar has always been a mystery. In addition to the count and countess behind the scene, ladies seem to be involved, at least His Highness the Lake Goddess Morgiana sometimes haunts here, and the bar will also provide free drinks and delicious meals to passing expedition knights.

The shiny hardwood floor is as clean as new. A lake god prophet is counting drinks behind the bar. The white magic lamp illuminates the interior of the tavern. The surface of the wooden bar and tables and chairs made of pear wood is reflective, golden The Holy Grail pattern and the iris flower pattern are all over the bar, and most of the knights and nobles present are polite - those who are rude will be quickly dragged out and listed as unwelcome objects.

The nobles of the kingdom, celebrities from all walks of life, and some foreign businessmen who come here most want to come to this bar to drink, but the bar has always only limited seats for 20 people, and some booths have been reserved for one month.

Hux was a little unaccustomed to this knight of the Kingdom with cold eyes and only the ambition of reviving the family in his heart. He was a little cautious. His wine glass was empty. The Knight of the Kingdom was not as confident as Armand, the Knight of the Holy Grail. Refills at Miss Lagoon's Prophet behind the bar—in this kingdom, Lagoon's Prophet enjoys great privileges, ignoring legal constraints, and only the favored ones of Morgiana and ladies like Lane can order them.

As Ryan's subordinate, Hux was in charge of military training, especially the training of serf infantry regiments and sergeants. Because the knight of the kingdom always looked bitter and bitter, the soldiers were afraid of him.

Unlike Hux, Armand, the Holy Grail Knight, only had a relaxed and enthusiastic expression on his face.

The Blood-Red Duke is dead, and the family's vengeance has been avenged. The Holy Grail Knight, who vowed to avenge the Blood-Red Duke since childhood, can finally unload his heavy burden of thought.

Packing lightly on the road, he saw that Hux's glass was empty, so he drank his tankard in one gulp, and stretched out his hand to signal: "Miss, we need a refill."

The Prophet of the Lake God refilled the Imperial Prime Stout for the two of them.

With beef patties and hot milky cod soup, Armand said, "Where were we?"

"A legend from serf to Grail knight, Pavar."

"Yes, Pawar." Armand nodded, and he whispered: "Pawar is a true legend. This respectable man has completed an incredible myth in his life."

"Pawar was born in a remote village. He decided to dedicate all his beliefs to the lady since he was a child. Since he was just a serf, the rest of the road for him was very simple - he became a Holy Grail pilgrim. , followed a famous Holy Grail knight, Ser Larlock, for most of his life, and decades of asceticism made him an excellent warrior."

"After following Sir Lalocke for most of his life, Paval, who is already in his late 20s, is facing a huge test. The Holy Grail Church guarded by Sir Lalocke was attacked by the Skaven army. The Holy Grail Knight led the pilgrimage to the Holy Grail The Ratmen fought a desperate battle with the Skaven, and in the end, Sir Larlock and the Skaven warlord died together, and the Holy Grail Pilgrims suffered heavy casualties, almost all of them died."

"All killed?" Hux could imagine the brutality of this battle. The Skaven must be planning to seize the holy object from the Church of the Holy Grail. The Holy Grail Knights and Holy Grail Pilgrims are outnumbered, but these people will not waver. They will only hold out until the last moment.

"Except for Paval... This serf, who was already in his fifties, was actually alone, guarding the Chapel of the Holy Grail and Sir Laroque's body for three hours! He kept supporting until the reinforcements arrived and wiped out the Ratman! It is said When the Duke's reinforcements arrived, Pavar was soaked in blood, unconscious, and was stabbing the broken sword in his hand into the head of a rat troll!"

"This is simply..." Hux was shocked by Pavar's feat. He has fought against the Ratman army for three hours alone? !

"After the war, Pawar won the title of 'Sratman Slayer' because of his feat, and was praised by the lady. He was brought to Courona to meet the king, and the king directly named him a kingdom in the Holy Grail Cathedral knight!"

"Pawar did not surrender. The pilgrim who had longed for the Holy Grail all his life was not tempted by his status as a nobleman. He made an expedition oath on the spot and started his own Holy Grail expedition."

"This trip lasted fifty years. Pawar's road to the Holy Grail lasted for fifty years. When everyone had forgotten him, he came back. The hundred-year-old Pawar's eyes were red, and his body was full of blood. Flashing the blessing of the God of the Lake, there is no doubt that he is already a Holy Grail Knight. The pilgrim has composed a piece of music that belongs to the Holy Grail with his own life. From serf to Holy Grail Knight, the deeds of this Holy Grail pilgrim have inspired generations after generations. A generation of serfs, he personally proved the justice of the Holy Grail."

Armand said with some emotion: "So you know why there are so many Holy Grail pilgrims? Not everyone can get the attention of the lady. The serfs understand that if they want the lady to pay attention to themselves who are not knights, they need some special method."

"Piety... This method is really special. The lady will always smile at the believers who have spent a lot of time on the battlefield and in the church." Hux sighed at the serf's desire, he hesitated and said: "If a serf Being able to perform like this makes him a noble... I have nothing to say."

"It seems that you still have some opinions on the knight's promotion order?" Armand keenly felt the discomfort in Hux's tone.

"Who isn't? There are so many titles of knights. Some people get more, some people get less. Yes, the nobles in the north suffered heavy losses in the fight against chaos. They may need this, but in our south , there are quite a few young men who can become knights, why don't we transfer some people from the south, but select a few serfs?" Hux complained: "Since it is the lady's will, then I have nothing to say, three Let’s just say three, this number is acceptable to everyone.”

"We always have to give some chances." Armand continued, looking at the bright magic lamp.

"Isn't it enough to be a sergeant? Their whole family is a free citizen! Isn't that enough?" Hux seemed to be stimulated, and said again and again: "Ranger? It's not enough to be able to ride a horse and fight with the knights." Is it?"

"Not enough, Hux, can you tell me what it feels like when you ride a horse, fully armed, raise your lance, and charge while shouting the name of a lady?" Armand murmured .

"I feel like I own the whole world." Hux replied seriously.

After a long time, the knight of the Kingdom who was over 30 years old suddenly turned red: "I understand, Armand, I am too superficial."

"very good."

…………

In mid-November, at night, in the Principality of Bordero, at the Mannan dry dock, a giant high elf ocean-going ship was slowly leaving the shore.

Hundreds of high elves are moving quickly on the deck and inside the cabin, pulling sails, anchoring, and looking out. All the high elves are doing their own thing in an orderly manner, with order in the complexity. Compared with human galleons, they are extremely crowded and there is no one. Compared with the space, although the high elves' ocean-going giant ships accommodate hundreds of troops, everything is so perfect and orderly, there is no crowded place.

The sea breeze was whistling, the galaxy was hanging high, the sound of the waves was still there, and the waves were blooming. Teclis, the high elf supreme mage, stood on the deck leaning on Lilith's staff of the moon, silently looking at the sky, without saying a word.

The Supreme Master was expressionless, looking at the bright Milky Way in the sky and the reflection of the sea surface. Those who knew him well knew that this was proof that Teclis was in a bad mood.

He tried to pray to his goddess of the moon, Lilith, asking her what he should do next, but the goddess didn't respond, and what Teclis waited for was the sound of footsteps behind him.

"Your Excellency Teclis, are you still resting?" A human voice sounded from behind Teclis.

"You're not in the cabin with your new wife?"

"It's still early, Lord Teclis."

Teclis turned around, Ryan's black hair was blown around by the sea breeze, and the champion who had just finished his honeymoon walked beside Teclis.

One person looking at the stars becomes two people looking at the stars.

Unexpectedly, and within reason, the Wood Elves were deeply wary and resistant to the arrival of Teclis. No matter what Teclis said, the Forest King and his wife responded with a skeptical attitude. So, if Azul didn't want to drag them into the never-ending war with the dark elves, or wanted the wood elves to submit to the Phoenix King again.

Eslai would not accept any of them. In the eyes of the wood elves, the forest was everything, and they would never give up the forest unless there were some force majeure factors.

never.

Teclis is not Finnubar, he is not as witty and charismatic as the current Phoenix King. The method successfully visited the king's forest, and re-established friendship with the forest king and his wife, and re-established diplomatic relations between the high elves and the wood elves. Tyrion has the relationship of the eternal queen, and it is not difficult to communicate with the wood elves.

Teclis can't do it, his quiet and cold words can't make the wood elves feel sincerity, he repeatedly emphasized that the coming of the end makes the compatriots in the forest scoff, what does the life and death of the outside world have to do with us?

Wood elves only care about their own forest.

Despite this, Orion and Alaier entertained Teclis with due ostentation. The King of the Forest and his wife listened to Teclis's intentions in detail, and used the power of the Oak of Time to perform divination.

The outcome of the divination was not allowed to be announced to the outside world. Teclis knew that the forest king and his wife must have obtained something from the divination, but what's the use of it? After all, they rejected Teclis' offer of an alliance.

"Isn't there a little harvest?" Ryan predicted the ending. The fairy in the lake had told him that Teclis would be difficult to succeed.

"It's not nothing at all. Eisley is not as ignorant of the outside world as we imagined." Teclis shook his head: "Your friend, Estelle, what you know is that he is a mercenary Traveling across the continent, but actually..."

"Actually, he, and many half-elves and wood elves like him are wandering around the continent as mercenaries. They are ordered by the forest king and his wife, named Youyou, but they actually come out to observe the outside world and collect information." Lane added that he already knew that.

In the wood elf observation station in the Earl of Glamorgan, many wood elves are doing intelligence work repeatedly. The wood elves are not stupid, and their foreign policy pursues "absolute isolation". Their eyes were darkened, on the contrary, the political changes and war situation of the human kingdom and the mountain dwarf kingdom were under their control.

The most typical example is the Kingdom of Brittania. The Kingdom of Knights has encountered several crises since the founding of the country. Whenever the knights fell into a complete disadvantage and struggled, the wood elf army would automatically appear to aid the knights and help them. Destroy the foreign enemies, and then hide in the forest again.

Because if it weren't for Britannia's constant adherence to the country, it would be difficult for the wood elves to enjoy this long-term peaceful life. The knights resisted most of the foreign enemies for the wood elves.

"That's right, I think my efforts are still somewhat useful." Teclis looked at Ryan: "After the divination, Queen Alaier and His Majesty Orion think that you are the one who can allow the wood elves to continue to enjoy a peaceful life." People, they decided to give you the title of 'Friend of Eisley'."

"In all but one title, a troop of rangers will come out of the forest, to be at your command from now on."
