Chapter 423, Griffins and Unicorns

Looking up at the starry sky This dish looks a bit dark and scary from the outside, especially the few dead fried fish all pointing their heads to the sky, which is quite scary.

But seeing Morgiana's expectant expression, Ryan could only choose to use the knife and fork. Privately speaking, Morgiana has that kind of relationship with him. Yu Gong said that Morgiana is his superior, the leader of the whole country. The Holy Grail knights are all loyal to Morgiana, so looking at the expectant gaze of the Lake God Witch, Ryan nodded with a wry smile: "This dish looks a bit scary."

"Northern cuisine is like this. This dish is easy to make, and the ingredients are cheap. If you don't have sardines, you can have herring." Mogiana adjusted her skirt and sat next to Ryan: "Try it , I can guarantee that the taste will never be unpalatable."

After taking a few bites, Ryan found that the taste of this dish was quite good, and he understood a little bit that looking up at the starry sky is actually not bad, but the presentation is too bad.

At the end of the dinner, Morgiana served another dessert, which is also the famous Yorkshire pudding in northern Brittania.

At this time, the sky is already night, and the bright moonlight falls on the valley where the fairy tower in the lake is located. There is always mist here, and the valley surrounded by moonlight and mist is full of green grass and flowers. No matter the seasons, no matter whether it is morning or evening, the flowers will always be there. It is in full bloom here, and the valley is dotted with fluorescent lights.

The lake god witch's long dress dragged the floor, and she held Ryan's arm. The two walked in the valley and chatted about the recent political situation in the kingdom. Ryan wanted to leave after dinner, but Mogiana said very "considerately" that you might She needed a walk to digest food, so she insisted that Ryan come out and walk with her.

"The Knight Commander Eugene of the Korona Branch of the Holy Grail Knights reported to me that most of the northern dukes support Raun as the next Knight King. In fact, after Richard appointed Raun as regent, Richard has basically stopped fulfilling his duties. The duty of the king." Mogiana said to Ryan: "Since Lawn began to preside over the political situation, the situation in the north has improved significantly. The towns and villages destroyed in the barbarian invasion are slowly being repaired. Returning to where they belonged, some knightly expeditionary forces returned home to replenish the number of knights who died in battle."

"I know this. Recently, the empire has temporarily entered a period of stability. The northern barbarians still have at least three or four years of recovery after the failed invasion. The harassment of the green skins has always been limited to the Duchy of Carcassonne and Bastogne. It's a good opportunity, I plan to wait until the end of spring plowing next year, and Francois and I will form a huge coalition to attack the Blackstone stronghold." Ryan also told Morgiana about his plan.

"Heinrich Kemmler, he is a famous necromancer who used to be a human." Mogiana nodded, and she pulled Ryan to sit in the gazebo in the valley, feeling the cold wind blowing on her body. Feeling, introducing the past of Heinrich Kemmler: "He used to be an outstanding human mage, before the savior Ludwig established the Royal Wizarding Academy, before the Great Holy War started It's over."

"Well." Ryan signaled that he was listening, but Morgiana just smiled at the beginning of a sentence, her sharp eyes fixed on Ryan.

You know what to do right?

Ryan fully understood what Morgiana meant. He picked up the Lake Goddess Witch by the waist, put it on his lap, and signaled her to continue.

Morgiana was a little taller than Emilia, about 1.65 meters. She was held in Ryan's arms and leaned against his chest. The Lake God Witch held Ryan's hand in satisfaction and continued. : "Because the empire took an attitude of exterminating and arresting these wizards at that time, Kemler could only choose to stay in the border princely territory,

Kemler's excellent magical talent not only made him quickly become a powerful wizard, but also made him understand one thing, that is, the short lifespan of human beings is doomed not to allow him to be proficient in magic and reach the limit of magic, so Kemler A big decision has been made. "

"...I'm not a human anymore?" Ryan said with a smile.

"This statement is a bit strange, but Ryan, you are generally right." Morgiana snuggled comfortably in Ryan's arms, and her bare feet under her long skirt swayed back and forth, which explained the number one choice of the fairy in the lake. Good mood: "In order to prolong his life, Kemler began to study undead magic day and night. When he was forty years old, he was able to wake up an entire army of undead by himself and make them obey his orders."

"After the available knowledge of undead magic could no longer meet Kemler's needs, he began to lead his army to plunder those religious temples and wizard towers, and grew stronger in a series of wars, but his enemies became more and more powerful. More and more, in order to defeat this terrible necromancer, the border princes sought reinforcements from the empire, and formed a huge army to defeat Kemmler and his army of undead in the Battle of Thousand Skulls. Kemmler left the border princedom and wandered in the Gray Mountains with an army of undead. On the way, Kemmler found the staff of Nagash, an artifact he wanted, and it was stored in La-Messenal In the monastery, you will know the following things. Francois led the knight army of the Duchy of Wenfort to defeat Kemler in the Battle of La-Messonard. In the crucial duel, Francois The sword cut off half of Kemmler's head."

"Chop off half of your head and you won't die..." Ryan complained: "Sure enough, the strength of this great necromancer is extraordinary."

"After being hit hard, Kemler crazily tore up all his magic scrolls, released all his magic power to repel the siege of the knights and Francois' pursuit, and fled into the depths of the Gray Mountains alone. The injured Kemler was greatly weakened and delirious, crazy, but when he was conscious, he never gave up and tried to get back the staff of Nagash." Morgiana held Ryan with both hands and placed it on her The big hands on his body finished the story.

"In fact, four years after the battle of La-Messonard Abbey, he once again gathered an army of undead to try to attack La-Messonard Abbey. Fearing the existence of Francois, Kemmler was replaced by A Soloren Forest entered Britannia, but in the end, his undead army was wiped out again. It was only because the weather was winter at that time and the wood elves lacked the assistance of tree spirits that Kemmler barely escaped. Muller is now lurking in the Blackstone stronghold north of Karak-Windbreeze. It used to be a very strong dwarven fortress, but the dwarves' declining population destined them to be able to hold Windbreeze against the attacks of greenskins and ratmen. It’s not bad.” Morgiana’s tone was tinged with sarcasm: “Stubborn dwarves are unwilling to leave their homeland, even if they are threatened.”

"Even so, we should not underestimate this great necromancer. More than ten years have passed, and Kemler must have formed another huge army of undead. He is just hiding in the Blackstone stronghold, waiting for the opportunity. Ryan thought about the cause and effect, and he was a little strange: "But I don't know why, in a series of previous wars, he had the opportunity to come out and stab a knife in the back, but he was always quiet, and there was no movement in the Blackstone stronghold."

"Kemler's mind is sometimes sober and sometimes in a trance, he has lost the ability to grasp the opportunity of the war." Morgiana replied casually, and the lake god witch's understanding of Kemler is limited to this: "Maybe he is planning something , in short we must be careful."

After chatting with Morgiana in his arms for a while, Ryan took out the pocket watch made by the dwarves from his arms. It was a gift from the dwarf engineer Dugan Tiehan. After looking at the pocket watch for a while, Ryan knew that it was already eight o'clock in the evening. gone back.

Morgiana naturally noticed Ryan's movements, and the golden eyebrows of the Lake Goddess Witch immediately frowned, and she turned her head away: "Are you in a hurry to go back and spend the night with Suria? She seems to be watching you very closely, isn't it tonight? And set up access control? You won't be allowed to enter the bedroom door when you go back later?"

"No, Suria doesn't control me strictly." Ryan thought about the strong sour taste, and he quickly explained: "I just agreed with Suria to go back after dinner , I can’t break my word.”

"Then I'll send a message to your Surya, telling her that you won't be going back at night?" Morgiana was still working hard.

"Mogiana~ I still have something to do when I go back tonight... Or, you can go out with me? There are still a lot of vacant rooms in the winery, go out and stay for two or three days." Ryan stretched out his hand and caressed Morgiana He felt very helpless, Mogiana's petty temper was offended, and he had to be coaxed: "I will live in the winery for this period of time, and there are no outsiders in the winery."

"Going out with you? I'm not the hostess of your winery, but Suria." Morgiana said in a strange tone: "Here, you belong to me, and outside, you belong to Suria."

"Why am I like a ball?" Ryan complained, "Kicking back and forth between you and Suria? Do I still have a deed of sale with your seal and Suria's seal stamped on it? Ownership can be transferred at any time?"

"Pfft~" Morgana was amused by Ryan, and she took a few seconds to make a decision: "Okay then."

"Silphane!" The lake goddess waved towards the grove in the valley, and the unicorn, Sylphane, stepped out of the grove, with moonlight shining on its sharp corners, and the whole body of the pure white unicorn It is Morgiana's exclusive mount. When Morgiana was betrayed by the tree spirit, it was the injured Sylphine who guided Ryan in the direction.

Following Sylphine, there was also a griffin.

This griffin is already as big as a cow. It has the head of an eagle and the body of a lion. It has a silver head, sharp eyes, and thick golden hair on its body. Open, it let out a cry of joy when it saw Ryan and Morgiana, and flew to the front of the gazebo with a flutter, and stretched its head over.

Morgiana reached out and stroked the head of the griffin: "Imperus is growing up gradually, let it grow for a year or two, and it can be used as a mount to go to the battlefield with you."

"Ugh~" the Griffon Impris yelled. It stretched out its tongue and licked its golden hair, rubbed its head against Morgana, and then let Ryan stretch out his hand to stroke it. This Griffin usually It was trained by Morgiana and Ryan, and occasionally let Suria ride it. When Ryan came to see him, it fluttered its wings happily, opened its mouth, and a blue-white lightning ball was in its mouth Cohesion.

"!!!" The griffin spit out a bolt of lightning and flew straight into the sky, then it flapped its wings and flew to the other side of the pavilion. During the secret training of the fairy in the lake, this griffin already possessed the ability to attack magically.

"Let's go, let's go out." Ryan carried Morgiana onto Sylphine.

"Yeah." Morgiana kissed Ryan on the face, then sat sideways on Sylphine's body, and Ryan also rode his pure-blooded elf warhorse Putao. Seeing Ryan coming up, Putao neighed funnyly, Then he stretched out his front hoof towards Imperius, making a strange movement.

The Griffin seemed to be provoked. It ran a few steps and spread its wings to fly in the sky, then followed in the footsteps of Ryan and Morgiana.

…………

The next day, Earl of Glamorgan, early morning at the winery, in the third-floor office.

In Ryan's temporary office, Ryan sat behind a sandalwood desk, the lake goddess Morgiana sat beside Ryan and listened, Countess Suria was still resting, and the dark elf maid stood behind Ryan.

When Olika and Morgiana looked at each other for a moment, there was a smell of electric sparks. Olika looked contemptuous and contemptuous, while Morgiana was jealous in her anger.

A nobleman sat across from Ryan and reported to him about the situation of the winery. He was like a middle-aged gentleman, wearing a decent tuxedo, a black beret, and a single round eye fixed with gold wire: "I Earl, the new grape varieties Gernischt and Pinot Noir have been sown and cultivated, and the famous grape variety Cabernet Sauvignon imported from Winford has also been sown. "

"Very good." Ryan sat behind the big wooden table. He brought the winery's financial report and took a look at it: "Very well done, Pinot, you have worked hard for a while."

"It is my honor to serve the Earl." The middle-aged gentleman bent down.

Jean-de-Pino, a master winemaker of the Wenford court, replaced the dead Durand as the butler of the vineyard under the management of Ryan. Currently, he manages the winery in an orderly manner. This master winemaker is extremely skilled A person who is also an important member of Suria's dowry servant group.

In fact, Ryan is somewhat reluctant to hand over the winery to Suria's people, because Suria's influence has penetrated into every aspect of his territory, but in terms of wine, the Duchy of Wenford and Duchy of Boldro produce the entire winery. The best wines of the old world.

Let this kind of thing come to the professionals.

After listening to a series of reports in detail, the butler Katzenberg walked in from the outside: "My count, King Belegard of the Angrund Clan - Hammer has arrived, and he wants to see you."

"Well, I see, then...Pino, let's come here first today." Ryan waved his hand to signal the master brewer to go down: "Please come in, King Belega."

"Yes." The manor housekeeper withdrew.

Two minutes later, Bellega came in: "Boy Ryan, my first group of people has arrived here, and you are responsible for arranging their board and lodging. This time, a group of elite rangers and dwarf veterans are here. Are you interested in going?" Do you want to see it?"

"Let's go, let's talk about how to capture the Blackstone stronghold for you and your people." Ryan got up from behind his seat.

"Very well, the dwarves like you, a direct-talking human being who is straightforward and not twitchy like pointy ears."

"Please, King Belgar."

"Please, Lane."
