ps: Thanks to the book friends "Lunzhu Dorji", "Moran Zhimei", "Dark Master", "Taihuang Dadi" and "Crying Douzi" for their rewards, thank you very much!
One day in spring, in April, the Earl of Glamorgan encountered a very strong "late spring cold". After a few heavy rains, the entire territory became very wet and cold in an instant.
The construction of the earl's castle was temporarily suspended, and the dwarves complained about the bad weather outside and hid in the house to enjoy the fire. Even the knights gave up training, because their armor was easily rusted in this weather.
The spring plowing has ended, and the serfs of every household are hiding in the newly built houses, enjoying the fire and hot soup. Normally, the late spring cold often leads to large areas of rotten seeds and dead seedlings in grain planting, but who How about letting Ryan's territory be blessed by the fairy of the lake? Under the protection of the fairies in the lake, the food was not affected much.
This caused the serfs to become more devout, and everyone chanted the holy name of the fairy of the lake, praying for blessings, but at least for now, the fairy of the lake still looks down on the serfs here.
In the winery, the wine workers are carefully maintaining the newly planted grapes under the orders of the master winemaker Jean de Pinault. The master winemaker feels a lot of pressure. He just came to Lane and encountered this kind of thing not long ago. Now we can only do our best to rescue and see how much damage can be recovered.
The blessing of the fairies in the lake is limited to food crops, but does not include cash crops. This seems to be some kind of warning from the goddess.
A fireplace was lit in the guest room on the third floor of the winery. It was raining heavily outside, washing the glass windows and walls. In the room, a woman was sleeping soundly. She had waist-deep black hair and icy skin. With a thick blush, there is a faint smile on the glamorous and moving face.
The door of the room opened, and an apprentice witch in an ice-blue robe walked in from outside: "Member, it's time to get up."
"Member?" After calling a few times, the woman didn't respond, and the apprentice witch had to go up and shake her: "Member, I'm really about to get up. The chef is already making breakfast. If it's any later, His Excellency Ryan will be waiting for you."
"Emma?" The woman finally woke up. She opened her eyes in a daze. It took about five minutes. Teresa Trovik, a member of the Garland Council, finally regained consciousness. She felt the feather bed. The softness of the cushion, decided to get up.
Emma, the witch apprentice, was serving Teresa to wash up. The female congresswoman brought the washing utensils, while rubbing her waist, secretly scolding someone for not knowing how to be gentle, and must toss her endlessly, while on the other hand, she was thinking about that feeling again, it was very painful Some can't stop.
Teresa Trovik has been busy building her own wizard tower recently. She has mobilized a lot of people to build her own wizard tower near the hut in the Sharon Forest. The Garland Council is also planning to send a staff of twenty The Ice Department Witch Apprentice Group came to Teresa and handed it over to her for management.
This female sorceress is really ruthless in doing things. She insisted on supervising the construction of her wizard tower with injuries. It was not until the rainy season came that the construction of the wizard tower had to be put on hold. She moved halfway at Ryan's invitation. I went to live in the winery, waited for the end of the rainy season, and then returned to continue to monitor the progress of the wizard tower.
The female sorceress washed up a bit, and finally chose the latter after hesitating to wear pants and skirts. Under the service of her apprentice witch, she changed into a taro-colored classical gorgeous slim waist dress, and took out a pair of fish mouth high heels Come to the dining room.
Today's breakfast is bread, bacon, milk and fried eggs. What makes Teresa happy is that Suria doesn't seem to be there. The sorceress sat down opposite Ryan in a grand manner: "Good morning,
Ryan. "
"Good morning, dear Teresa." Ryan nodded, and he spread his hands: "I'm sorry, I went out very early, and there are some things in the territory that I need to deal with."
"You have been mobilizing supplies and replenishing your armaments recently. I also saw that your knights and infantry are practicing coordinated combat with the dwarves. Are you going to fight again?" Teresa put on black glasses with butterfly patterns: "Ms. Suria doesn't seem to be here?"
"Something happened in the territory just now. The influx of a large number of people made the law and order not very good. There was a dispute between the foreign dwarves and the locals. Suria was meeting them downstairs...Why, I feel that you are Aren't you a little scared of Suria?" Ryan looked at the sorceress in front of him with a smile, and Teresa was still rubbing her waist.
"Why would I be afraid of her?!" Teresa retorted subconsciously, the sorceress's laziness and youthfulness could not be concealed at all, she tried to explain: "I just...discussed with Mrs. Suria gone."
Ryan nodded and said no more. After breakfast, the Earl began to deal with a lot of official business, which often took him three or four hours.
Teresa saw that she had nothing to do, so she decided to sit next to him and chatted with him without saying a word: "You are going to fight again, my God, I didn't do anything during the first thirty years I spent in the Garland Council." There will be more wars after meeting you."
"You should ask those Ugors. They are located in the north of the Linsk River, but they have an encounter with the barbarian tribes in the north almost every month." Ryan was reviewing the official document, and he could focus on two things. The warlock chatted: "Is the Garland Council so little exposed to war? War is the best place for wizards to grow."
"But the casualty rate is also very high. There are many good witch apprentices in the council. They don't want these witch apprentices to die on the battlefield without achieving anything, including me. In fact, I didn't participate in many battles before I met you. Now I want to come to my It was ridiculous at the beginning, how can I release the blizzard immediately after the war, and I will quickly run out of magic power." Teresa sat on the side of Ryan's desk, and she complained that she was too naive and didn't know how to save money before Magic power: "My mother just wrote a letter, and she asked me why I'm not pregnant yet? I was too embarrassed to tell my mother that I had sex with you at the beginning of this year, and then I got hurt again."
"I promised, it will come true, as long as you don't hide from me." Ryan raised his head from many books, and his half-smile expression made the sorceress angry: "Who is avoiding you! Damn Ryan, you This soul is weak! Do you think that giving me the title of female courtier can satisfy me? If you are still a knight of the kingdom, it will depend on whether your mother agrees to marry me!"
"Hahaha~ Then I would also like to thank you for your attention, dear Miss Teresa Trovik." Ryan let out a strange laugh, but the earl didn't laugh for long, and he soon continued to immerse himself in correcting official documents : "Whenever you open your wings, you will have the conditions to conceive."
"Wings?" The sorceress was a little confused at first, so she suddenly blushed after thinking for a minute, subconsciously pressed her lower abdomen, and looked away: "I usually come to you once a week, so when can I open it?" open?"
"That's your face. It's okay to come to me twice more, or to stay here overnight. Veronica always comes to me if she wants it." Ryan was reviewing the official document, and he used the ring to stamp the envelope Going up, she said to Emma, the witch apprentice who was standing by, "Send this letter downstairs to Katzenberg immediately, and let him send it to Winford's court."
"Yes." The apprentice witch took the envelope with both hands, and left the room. Seeing that her apprentice was so obedient, the sorceress propped her elbows on the desk angrily, holding her cold face: "Really, Is Emma your witch apprentice or mine? I think she listens to you more, or should I let her work as a part-time maid for you?"
"No, I'm a fighter and warrior after all, not a spellcaster. I can't teach magic for one thing. Second, I have already agreed with Suria. That's all the people around me. I already have a wife. Two female courtiers and a dark elf maid, what else can I not be satisfied with?" Ryan immediately shook his hands, chewing as much as he could, no matter how many women he has around him now, there will be no shortage of women, this is enough, he doesn't care live by yourself.
The women around him seem to have reached a tacit agreement. In a week, Suria usually takes three to four days, Morgiana takes one day, and the rest is freely allocated, and Olika often steals as his personal maid.
Ryan always felt that this distribution method had a taste of distribution according to production factors.
Teresa raised her long legs, which was a very satisfactory answer to her, but the sorceress still complained habitually: "You may not even know that you are so popular among those witch apprentices." How tall, those little whores in Veronica's Twilight Wizard's Tower always regard you as an ideal type, God knows how they will marry in the future."
"What does that have to do with me, oh, by the way, how is your wizard tower going?" Ryan didn't want to continue this topic, he asked Teresa about the wizard tower instead.
"Wizard Tower? That's it. The foundation is built and three floors are built. The rest of the work is temporarily suspended due to the rainy season. I don't know when it will be completed." Speaking of the Wizard Tower, Teresa's emotions gradually changed from Complaints turned to full of interest. She introduced her plan to build a wizard tower in detail. The sorceress planned to build an ice-type wizard tower that would not lose to Veronica's Dawn wizard tower. She had only built the fourth floor, and the budget was already It took half.
"Your brother is really free every day. The forest hut he built is very close to my wizard tower, and he often rides hippogryphs around my wizard tower, and those few golden corn cobs also like to hang around, have a picnic , Hunting, what are they here for?" Teresa then asked, the sorceress' expression was very tangled: "You look nothing like your brother, he looks like a giant and an ogre, he is Not from Norsca?"
"Hehe~ Elder brother is elder brother. You just need to know that he is my elder brother." Ryan thought Teresa's guess was not completely unreasonable. The northern barbarian tribes had moved inland several times. Many barbarians who believed in chaos or were tired of making a living in the northern wasteland settled in Nord, and they showed that they were particularly strong and tall.
So when Ryan explained Angron's origin, he vaguely said that he was from the north, and the people in his territory were not too strange.
When it was almost noon, Suria came back. The Countess brought her maid Sylvia through the door and came in. Today's female knight was wearing a hawthorn wine red lace collar and fine check shirt dress. She came in Afterwards, he took a narrow look at the sorceress, and said to Ryan, "I've settled the matter."
"Well, the dwarf didn't fight the wood elves, did he?" Ryan was still looking at the file.
In order to attack the Blackstone stronghold, he and his territory must be fully prepared.
"Hey, the dwarves want to save face. The wood elves never listen to any explanations. The two sides quarreled over whether the barrel of ale was half full or half empty, and then started fighting. I thought something big happened." Suria sat On the sofa chair, she covered her head and looked at her husband: "I think the dwarves should be more responsible for such a trivial matter."
"It's normal for dwarves to fight after drinking, so don't pay too much attention to it. It is said that if a human can beat a dwarf in a drunk fight, he can win the friendship of the dwarves." Ryan finally finished correcting the last document. On the sofa chair: "Teresa, when your wizard tower is finished, how about me and Suria visiting your side?"
"Of course welcome, but I don't know when it will be finished." Teresa glanced at Su Liya cautiously, and agreed when she saw that she had no objection. The female sorceress always lacked confidence when facing the duke's concubine daughter. Su Li Ya's methods are so powerful that Ryan's backyard has been subdued by her.
"Father has also started preparing for the war. The Principality of Wenford will send 5,000 troops in this war, including 2,000 knights and two teams of Pegasus knights." Suria picked up the teacup and said to Ryan: "However, the scout's investigation But found some strange signs. There was no movement in the Blackstone stronghold. It seemed that Kemler himself was not in the Blackstone stronghold. However, the Blackstone stronghold was still guarded by a large number of undead troops. My father meant that he should make full preparations again. Consider moving in."
Not in the Blackstone Stronghold? Ryan frowned, thinking about the reasons, which might explain why Kemler didn't make trouble during the successive wars in Brittania.
So... where did Kemmler go?
…………
In the old world, at the southern end of the Gray Mountains, on top of thousands of high mountains.
This is the famous peak "Heart of Doom" in the Gray Mountains. This mountain is thousands of altitudes high, and the snow on the peak does not melt all year round.
At the highest point of the mountain is a frozen lake.
Heinrich Kemmler, the master of undead in the sanctuary, was wearing a shadow cloak covered with skeletons, holding a noisy skull staff, and holding a sharp bone sword in the other hand, and was advancing on the mountain peak.
"It's nearby." Heinrich Kemmler looked like an elegant and easy-going old wizard in appearance. He was several hundred years old with gray hair. Since he was seriously injured by Francois, this The strength of the great necromancer in the sanctuary was not as good as before, and because of this, he sometimes became crazy and sometimes sober. He endured the pain on his head and knew that he had to hurry up.
He must find the tomb of the champion of the Chaos Four Gods!
After setting foot on the frozen lake, the necromancer signaled his legion to quickly clear a path. Kemler could feel the strong power of chaos from the breath in the wind, and what he wanted was ahead.
To Kemmler's exasperation, someone beat him.
A champion of chaos is leading his warband to dig the ice, and just below the frozen lake, a huge tomb is being dug out.
"Oh, yes, yes, I feel it, that's right, Gul's tomb is in front." Kemmler felt the power of the wind of chaos, and the necromancer muttered to himself a little crazily.
Seeing Kemler appear, the Chaos Champion shouted, signaling his warband to stop digging. The Chaos Warband raised their weapons and rushed towards Kemler.
But Kemler was not alone. The great necromancer raised his staff, and thousands of undead were gathering around him: "The ancient tomb army! My servants, kill all these chaotic bastards!"
Behind Kemmler, there are several skeleton legions and zombie legions, two established Grave Guard legions, a complete battle group of dire wolves and dire bats, his elite tomb ghoul legion and a group of Team Tomb Goblin.
And a team of stone mound binding spirits and binding spirit knights.
"Jul's remains belong to me!"
The war on the frozen lake has begun.
