Chapter 375, Brunswick's Winter Veil Festival
How to do?
Ryan only felt that sweat had soaked his clothes and forehead. At a critical moment, such a thing happened? !
He is not a pupil of death, he has a butterfly voice changer, and the voice of Archbishop Vicmar has always been very special. The cardinal is the regional bishop second only to the archbishop. How could he not be able to tell whose voice it is? !
Teclis is already preparing a great spell, and the Supreme Archmage is already ready to go to war.
At the critical moment, just as the cardinal put his hand on the doorknob of the carriage, Archbishop Vicmar suddenly snored. The snore was very low and dull, and it sounded like a dissatisfied snort.
The sound stopped the cardinal who was about to reach out to open the door. It was indeed the voice of the archbishop. The cardinal's expression changed back and forth, and he quickly backed away: "Sorry, I was the one who was abrupt."
The situation was temporarily stabilized, Ryan let out a sigh of relief, he quickly touched his forehead, and his sleeves were full of sweat.
Yet the crisis is not over.
"Your Majesty the Archbishop? If it's all right, please promulgate your decree. This matter cannot be delayed any longer." The cardinal led his subordinates to ask Vikma again: "I know you have something important to go out, but what's the matter?" Is it comparable to destroying the Chaos Cult and bringing light and faith to mankind?"
The carriage became silent again, but the cardinal remained in front of the carriage.
Ryan in the carriage had completely calmed down at this time, and another force in his blood began to play a role. In the sea of consciousness, a phantom of a skinny old man in a black robe showed him a kind smile: "Don't worry, I My child, settle down and think."
"Think." Ryan calmed down completely, and he set his sights on the archbishop: "Then solve it."
About five seconds passed.
The curtain of the car was pulled open, and the right hand of Archbishop Vicmar stretched out from the window.
The archbishop's right index finger and thumb are clasped in a circle, the middle finger, ring finger and little finger are raised high, and the archbishop's ring is worn on the thumb.
This is agreed.
"Yes! Understood!" The cardinal was relieved: "We will obey the archbishop's decree! We will immediately send someone to help His Majesty the Emperor, everyone get out of the way!"
All the people blocking the carriage moved away and let the carriage pass.
The black carriage, carrying secrets and missions, left the Cathedral of the Justice Church.
Thirty minutes later, the Imperial Royal Hotel.
The decoration is luxurious, the floor covered with animal skin carpets is very clean, and the exquisite oak furniture forms an ingenious arrangement in the hall. The flames in the fireplace are crackling, and half-dry firewood is burning in the fireplace.
The female knight Suria was dressed up, and today she was wearing a cute elk wine red bag hip skirt, entertaining Teclis with a smile on her face, and serving him the famous Tyrell cat poop coffee.
Ryan looked as if he had just been in a sauna. He slumped on the sofa in his living room and said to Teglis, "Exciting, exciting."
The face of the Supreme Archmage was very ugly. Holding the first piece of Lilith's crown in his hand, he sighed in a low voice: "It's always like this, no matter how you say it, things in the old world have already drawn a not-so-perfect end. end."
"Are you going back?" Ryan heard what Teclis meant.
"Everything is over, I should go." Teclis nodded: "There are still many things waiting for me to deal with in Ulthuan. Persevere, then I will take a trip, now that the matter is completed, I should go back."
"Can't we go after the Winter Veil Festival together? There is more than a week left before the Winter Veil Festival." Ryan was a little bit reluctant. Teclis came to the old world and brought him a lot of help. His appearance provided Ryan with A strong backup, his mentoring of the two witches allowed Veronica and Teresa to grow by leaps and bounds.
With Teclis around, many of Ryan's affairs, including the signing of the covenant with Emperor Karl Franz and the signing of the trade agreement, were very easy. He also wondered if he could use Teclis' great prestige in the old world to do something else thing.
"The festival of humans is not the festival of elves." Teclis stood up, and he shook his head: "In three days, I will set off and return to Ulthuan, Miss Trovik and Miss Bernadotte If you have any questions, please take the time to ask me.”
"Okay." Ryan could only nod helplessly. Teclis' status determined that he could not stay in the empire for a long time just to endorse Ryan and teach two witches. Being haunted, coming to the Old World for a few months was already a decision made by the fairy in the lake after insisting.
Three days later, Teclis led the high elf army back along the Reik River. They will arrive at Marienburg, and then return to Ulthuan on the ocean-going giant ship.
Ryan and the others stayed, and they planned to return to their territory after the Winter Veil Festival in Brunswick.
On the first day of Winter Veil, Lion woke up from his sleep.
It snowed heavily outside the house again, snowflakes the size of goose feathers covered the entire capital of the empire, and the white snow decorated the heart of the empire into a vast white world.
The Winter Veil Festival is coming. This is the twenty-seventh Winter Veil Festival since Ryan came to this world. Before he knew it, he already had a home, a territory of his own, and a lofty status.
The time left for him is getting less and less.
The thirty-year-old earl barely opened his eyes. He was lying on the soft four-corner bed. The warm environment in the room made him think for a moment that he had returned to his own earl's castle.
But he immediately realized that he was still in the imperial capital.
"Awake, my husband?" Suria, who was wearing a light feather snow velvet silk thin streamline flower shop princess dress, had already woken up. The female knight had a thick blush and happiness on her face, and said to Ryan with a smile: "Happy Winter Veil."
"Happy Winter Veil, my wife." Ryan felt a lot of emotion in his heart, and he recalled the gentle fragrance of nephrite last night.
I also have a family.
The count stretched out his big hand, embraced his wife in his arms, and kissed her directly: "My wife, do you have any plans for today?"
"His Majesty Emperor Karl invited you to go hunting in the outskirts of the city today, have you forgotten?" Suria's long golden hair exuded the fragrance of irises, and the female knight's waist was held by Ryan in her arms, and she kissed her. After a while, the female knight was numb from the kiss, and after a long time, out of breath, she stretched out her pale fingers and tapped Ryan's forehead.
"Ah, yes, the main reason is that the date keeps changing." Ryan was stunned for a while, and then remembered that Emperor Karl had indeed invited him to go hunting.
Open the window, the streets of Brunswick are very lively, every household hangs brightly colored flags, and holds many activities. The imperial people are celebrating the arrival of Winter Veil, especially near the Royal Hotel. In the wealthy district, luxurious carriages come and go, and the festival celebrations of the nobles are going on.
And under the cover of heavy snow, many battle priests and demon hunters are also patrolling the streets, they use
With cold and fierce eyes monitoring every move of the entire block, this made the festive atmosphere a lot less.
There is no way, what Ryan and Teclis have done is too big.
After Archbishop Vikma fell asleep in a daze and woke up in the carriage returning to the Shrine, it took the Archbishop a minute to realize what happened to him.
Afterwards, Vikmar's roar could be heard not only in the entire imperial capital, but at least in the entire wealthy district in the southern part of the capital.
A huge "cult cleansing" campaign was immediately launched on the archbishop. Countless battle priests, demon hunters, and paladins were dispatched to conduct a brutal and bloody search and inspection of Brunswick. The demon hunters would rather kill the wrong one. One hundred, don't let go of one cleansing method. Although many normal people have been wronged, it has indeed dealt a serious blow to the Chaos sects in the slums of the capital. Thousands were burned at the stake.
Emperor Karl was also extremely surprised that someone wanted to assassinate him in the Cathedral of the Justice Church. Rick's guards were ordered to dispatch and bloodbathed the entire Roken family under the leadership of Helberg and Ludwig. Not only was the family that worshiped the evil god of chaos completely wiped out, but Ludwig also followed the clues and implicated hundreds of people.
They ended up being tried collectively and burned at the stake.
Compared with the childish punishment of the capitalists in Marienburg, the empire's punishment for chaos and corruption is extremely severe.
The great nobles of the empire have no opinion, the chaos and corruption must be eliminated, since the evidence is conclusive, the nobles, apart from being happy to watch the massacre, also have the idea of the Roken family property, which was confiscated by the emperor. Including thousands of hectares of fertile land and several storefronts in Brunswick, three warehouses in the dock area, and two riverside workshops on the Riker River.
The cake is so big, the fewer people eat, the more people get.
The emperor withstood the pressure, and he rewarded most of the fertile land to the soldiers who made contributions in this war against the barbarians. He auctioned off the storefronts and took the workshops back to the royal family. The Lichtenstein family's private guards participated in the operation. The Lichtenstein family has a lot of benefits. The Roken family's trade network and many businesses have been taken over by the Lichtenstein family. Called and lost the opportunity to get a share of the pie.
It would be beneficial to firmly follow the line of Emperor Karl Franz.
The chaos in the capital's environment caused the originally planned hunting activities to be delayed again and again, and the time was pushed back again and again. Ryan almost forgot about hunting, but fortunately Suria always remembered.
"Madame" Ryan buried his face in Suria's broad chest, and the huge fullness of the female knight's chest made him very comfortable: "Let's go hunting together!"
"Aren't you going to take Veronica and Miss Teresa?" Surya gently hugged Ryan in turn: "I think they want to go too."
"Of course I can take them there, but it's not appropriate to take them on this occasion." Ryan shook his head: "It's a place for a large group of noble children to communicate, even though the Imperial Academy of Wizardry has been established for more than a hundred years, many The nobles are still unwilling to trust wizards in their hearts."
"But you'd better tell Veronica and Miss Teresa, do you know that every time you make a decision for them subjectively, it is a kind of harm to them?" Suria He said gently: "I know you have always respected me, and you let me make up my own mind about everything, but those two ladies are different, they gave up a lot to follow in your footsteps, maybe they are really not good at participating in this kind of activities , you'd better let them know."
"Yes, I understand. I will follow your orders, my wife." Ryan scratched his head in embarrassment. Zhou, I'll go and talk to them."
The couple tenderly and kissed for a while on the big bed, and then Ryan let go of Suria, who was already blushing, and left the bedroom. The female knight sat on the bed and rubbed her pair of black silk legs uncomfortably, and re-fastened the buttons on her chest. Then he raised his head triumphantly.
What about the heroes of mankind, and what about the lady's chosen champion?
Aren't you being eaten to death by yourself?
After thinking for a while, the female knight's face turned red again. She pressed her belly, remembering that the fairy in the lake told her to have an heir with Ryan as soon as possible. The child he and her would be healthy and strong.
The lady must like Ryan very much too, right? Then why not? The female knight has been thinking wildly in her mind. She has been the most devout believer of the fairies in the lake since she was three years old. After being possessed several times during her honeymoon, Suria is very willing to give half of her husband to the lady.
to find a chance
Fifteen minutes later, Ryan came back, and he told Suria that Teresa and Veronica were both busy learning magic. Taking advantage of Teclis's guidance before he left, the two witches were not free now. Go hunting with Ryan.
"Then let's go." Ryan said to Suria.
"Huh, Sylvia? Steward Henderson?" Suria began to order her maid and her steward, preparing to set off to meet the emperor.
First day of Winter Veil holiday in the Old World, Empire, Reikland, Reikwald Forest.
The bright and snow-covered Rickwold Forest is already considered a safe forest in the empire, but there are still a large number of robbers and beastmen in the depths of the forest, as well as Vlad von Carstein and Mann during the Vampire War. Some vampire castle ruins left by two generations of vampire counts by Fred von Carstein, it is said that there are still a small number of undead creatures haunting them.
Ryan was riding a pure-blood elf warhorse Grape, Suria was riding a pure-blood elf warhorse Richter, and the husband and wife in armor followed Emperor Karl Franz.
Behind them are the Brunswick Royal Half-Griffon Knights and the Griffin Great Swordsmen, as well as the recruits of the Rick Guards and the Rick Guards. These are the children of a group of great nobles. They followed The emperor went out to hunt together, which was also an opportunity to express himself.
Many of the children of the great nobles had hangovers and pale faces. It was obvious that the Winter Veil Festival had given them a lot of sensuality.
Even the emperor himself, Ryan arrived at the scheduled location at ten o'clock in the morning and found that the emperor hadn't come yet, until ten forty-five with sleepiness on his face, the emperor who was haha was late, a rare holiday, Emperor Karl didn't get up until after ten o'clock.
The hunting process was uneventful and smooth sailing. The half-griffin knights and the Rick guards had already cleared the forest in advance, and Karl Franz, Ryan and others soon hung a lot of prey behind the horses: " A bountiful harvest, Your Majesty."
"Your harvest is also good." Emperor Karl looked at a rabbit and two roe deer hanging behind Ryan's horse, and said with a smile: "Your horse is awesome."
"???" Ryan looked puzzled.
"If my horse couldn't carry so much
West. The emperor then tried to ask: "Can you?"
"Your Majesty, Britannia prohibits the export of pure-blood elf horses. This is a national policy." Ryan blocked the emperor's words.
"Ok"
"Your Majesty, we will return to Brittania after the Winter Veil Festival."
"Not staying for a while?"
"No, change it back."
"Which way are you going to go?"
"We'll go overland from Bogenhafen to Hemgard and then to Ax's Pass."
