ps: The manuscript fee has come out, blood collapse, I beg all readers to support, if this continues, I will run out of food! ying ying ~

The next day, early in the morning, in the corridors of the winery, the morning light penetrated through the glazed windows, sprinkled on the wooden floor and the expensive paintings on the walls.

The new head maid, Sylvia, was wearing a set of standard maid outfits, with her soft blond hair coiled up high, white stockings and black leather boots on her legs, holding a stack of clothes, and passed by the door of the master bedroom.

Since Emilia left, Sylvia has taken over the position of head maid and is responsible for managing the daily life of the entire servant group and the scheduling of the castle. It can be said that her ability is still very good. Milia focused more on Ryan, and Sylvia performed her duties as head maid better.

Because of this, she was very dissatisfied with many of Ryan's habits, such as dining etiquette. In the noble etiquette of Brittany, each kind of tableware has extremely strict rules on how to use different tableware and which one to use. For hand use, there is a set of special rules, such as the placement of napkins, and the small one that the spoon cannot touch the tableware. In the court, these are very important etiquettes that determine whether a nobleman can reflect his identity.

This is not nonsense. In the aristocratic etiquette of Brittania, there are four types of table knives alone, which are bread knives, butter knives, main kitchen knives and fish knives. There is a difference when to use which knife.

And Ryan obviously didn't care much about it. The Earl himself often asked Suria to share a round table with him for dinner, and in Britannia, it was a great honor to eat at a round table with the Holy Grail Knight, but Ryan's meals are like this.

For issues like this, Ryan was often criticized by Sylvia. He always said he knew about it, but he didn't change much.

However, Ryan has a high status and strength. Sylvia often can only criticize and dare not do anything. This makes Sylvia feel very uncomfortable. She always feels that she has not performed well. Duties of the head maid.

The new head maid thought I should find a chance to talk about him again.

Just in time, the door of the master bedroom opened, and Ryan came out of the door wearing a simple robe.

The man's robe was not neatly dressed, revealing his muscular body. Ryan had a perfect streamlined figure, and his black hair had obviously just been washed. He simply tied the belt around the waist of the robe casually. He was full of handsomeness. With a faint smile on his masculine appearance: "Good morning! Sylvia."

"..." Sylvia was about to say hello, but for some reason, she just felt her face turn red,

Then he turned his head away: "I put the clothes here."

"My head maid, I don't seem to have offended you?" Ryan took the clothes, and he made a joke casually.

"No... please step aside, my lord count, I'm going to prepare breakfast for you." Sylvia looked serious, and she put on a businesslike look: "Madam, are you up?"

"I'm up, Sylvia, and breakfast should be in thirty minutes." Su Liya was wearing a silk nightgown, her long golden curly hair was a little messy, her face was rosy and shiny, and the countess was full of carelessness. Lazy and satisfied, he said to his maid: "Wait until you have breakfast with us."

"Understood." Seeing Suria's appearance, Silvia almost immediately thought of something. She blushed and walked away quickly, leaving only the ribbon behind the maid's turban floating in the air.

"Sylvia has done a good job recently. She has taken care of all aspects of the family." Ryan said with a little deep meaning, looking at the back of the head maid.

"Lyan, Sylvia is just not used to it." Suria immediately understood Ryan's metaphor, and she said immediately, "I think she will find a suitable way of getting along that belongs to us."

Thirty minutes later, in the restaurant of the winery, there were only three people sitting on the long table. Suria carefully spread the honey and jam on the bread with a table knife, and then held it to Ryan with both hands: "Veronica Have you informed over there?"

"Notified, she is already packing." Ryan also filled a cup of hot milk for Suria: "And Orika, she has also packed her things."

"Mr. Alfred is going too?" Suria nodded, and the female knight casually mentioned: "Then why don't you ask that half-elf ranger to go with you? Don't you just need such a long-range shooter?" ?”

"Half-elf? Estelle?" Ryan put down his knife and fork. He remembered the half-elf who had met him and fought side by side in Nord. The earl nodded first, then shook his head again.

A few days ago Estelle finally managed to break through to the legendary level, and officially changed his job to become an official ranger. However, judging from the age of the half-elf who is already ninety years old, if he does not have many adventures in the future, then he will never be able to do so in his entire life. That's about it. The lifespan of a half-elf is usually 150 to 200 years. For humans, Estelle is already a man of nearly 40 years old. Will be over two hundred and fifty years old.

It can be said that this half-elf has been left far behind by Ryan.

Ryan first thought that having such a ranger would really help him on his trip to Estalia. The combat power of the ranger is indeed obvious to all, especially when he has himself personally. Er is unlikely to face difficult melee combat.

But thinking of the existence of Orika, Ryan finally rejected this suggestion.

Needless to say, the relationship between the dark elves and the high elves is a deadly feud. The relationship between the dark elves and the wood elves is also obvious to all. Orion, the king of the forest, once led an army of wood elves to reach Naggarond using the roots of the world. The Witch King Malekith was beaten violently. In the end, the witch queen Moras agreed to teach the forest queen Alaier the dark magic to make the wood elves retreat. An area within the forest of Athel Loren has become eternal night.

Afterwards, the three ancient treants, Adanhu, the oldest treant, sacrificed himself to heal Alaier, and restored the queen of the forest to her senses. Alaier was hit hard after waking up, and the queen of the forest seldom left king forest.

In Ryan's territory, all his subordinates know that there is a dark elf maid beside Ryan, but one is Orika who always stays at home, either practicing, or serving Ryan's daily life, rarely going out, and few others chance to meet her.

Out of sight, out of mind, neither wood elves nor half-elves care much.

But if it is brought out to form a team together, it will be different. In Ryan's words, the three views are completely different, and there will definitely be conflicts during the journey. The hatred within the elves far exceeds the hatred between them and different races. This is not a casual talk.

"No, there are benefits to having fewer people." Ryan said directly after thinking for a while.

Seeing what Ryan said, Suria stopped expressing her opinion on this, and the female knight said softly: "Be careful all the way, I am here in the territory."

"I won't be gone for long."

...I am the dividing line ready to go to sea...

Three days later, Pordero, Mannen dry dock, Boldelo galleon "Maennen's Fury".

The sea and the sky meet, and the blue waves are endless. Ryan stood on the deck of the galleon, looking at the blue sea and clear sky in the distance, the busy sailors on the deck, the heavily armed knights, and the huge Poseidon Trident family crest on the mainsail. The count smiled at the female courtier standing beside him: "This is the pride of the Poseidon fleet, the Britannia galleon, my dear, how do you feel?"

The Poldero galleon is the pride of the Principality of Poldero. They are the most powerful ships in the Poseidon fleet. They are manufactured by carefully selecting oak wood and transporting it into the dry dock of Mannanen. Every keel is laid. A grand ceremony of blessing, and many feasts and holidays when the ship is launched, the people of Bordello love the galleons of their country, it is their pride.

A large sailing ship can carry hundreds of well-trained sailors and soldiers. The powerful giant ship is like a floating castle filled with firearms and bed crossbows. Most sailors are equipped with scimitars and muskets. There are hundreds of cannons, and the powerful firepower can ensure that any enemy will be attacked by various firearms and crossbow bolts like a thunderstorm when they approach. Even if the opponent barely approaches, the sailors and Poseidon knights on the deck will not be afraid of jumping to fight And the string battle.

The bow of the ship has a trident mermaid statue that symbolizes the sea god Mannan. Under the blessing of the sea god, the mermaid statue can not only guide the ship to maintain stability in the ocean current and strong wind, but also release lightning. It is said that it is "invincible" in Estalia In the battle during the sinking of the "Fleet", the lightning strike released by the mermaid statue sank the large southern warship, which shocked the Estalians, and even many small warships began to flee on the spot.

Duke Boderick's Poseidon Fleet is one of the few blue-water navies in the Old World, and it is also the foundation of the Knight Kingdom's defense of the ocean. In addition to the Poseidon Fleet, Knight King Richard also owns a naval fleet in Le-Angulan, but that fleet At best, it is a yellow water navy, dominated by a large number of privateers and pirate ships.

On the deck, the sailors were singing the Boldero naval song "Heart of Oak", Ryan took Veronica's hand and strolled along the ship's strings, in the sea breeze, blue waves and slightly salty air, there was a special feeling. fun.

"I want to be glad that you still remember me. I thought you had forgotten me." Veronica held Ryan's arm, and Witch Garland had a sweet smile on her face. It was obvious that she offered to Ryan She came out satisfied with it.

Witch Garland is thirty-three years old this year. Due to her powerful mana and the guidance of the Supreme Sorcerer Teclis, Veronica's progress in light magic and fire magic can be described as fast. Thanks to her accomplishments, the witch still looks like a young girl in her twenties, but Veronica is more mature and cold than when Ryan first met her. Now she is wearing a fiery red robe and looks like a great wizard. The aura of Witch Garland standing on the deck made the sailors dare not approach,

In addition, Veronica also received a large number of high elf spell books and magic scrolls presented by Teclis, so in the recent period of time, the witch has always been busy with her own experiments and more esoteric cultivation. Magic, if Ryan hadn't told her that she had a mission to come out, Veronica might have spent several years digesting this knowledge.

"If you have something to ask for, you just say how I always interrupt your research. If I don't look for you, you are afraid that I will forget you." Ryan joked: "You make me, the earl, very embarrassed."

"So you have to find the right time, stay with me when you should be with me, and let me practice when you should give me enough time to practice. The mysteries of magic are endless." Veronica stretched out her index finger delicately at Ryan She poked her face: "For a long trip like this, it would be very appropriate for you to call me. Of course, it would be even better if your dark elf maid didn't come with you... Where is she?"

"Olika, she's in the cabin." Ryan looked into the cabin. Dark elves don't like to show their faces and hate crowded decks and cabins, so she chose to stay in the cabin.

A large number of soldiers were loaded on the galleon, and the area left for everyone was very small. Ryan and others were divided into two cabins about 15 square meters in size, and then a very tragic thing happened. Of course, Veronica and Orika It was a matter of course to live with Ryan. Both the Garland Witch and the Dark Elf Maid said that it didn't matter if they could squeeze together, but Alfred could only live in a room by himself.

This is not over yet, considering how crowded the galleon is, it is obviously unrealistic for Alfred to enjoy a cabin by himself, so the serious red-nosed navy captain offered to requisition this cabin, and let Alfred go and talk to those sea gods. The knights squeezed into the upper and lower bunks.

"In Ah Fu's words, the cabin is full of 'hell' and 'devil'." Ryan put his arms around Veronica's slender waist with a smile: "I always feel a little sorry for him."

"Oh? Why do I think you don't want him to disturb us at critical times?" Veronica said maliciously. The witch closed her eyes and held Ryan's big hand on her waist with her small hand, leaning against Ryan. In her arms, she really enjoys this time when two people are alone: ​​"So you made this arrangement."

"Ah Fu is the same age as me, and I'm in my thirties this year, and I haven't been married yet." Ryan changed the subject calmly: "Veronica, do you have any suitable candidates? For example, Jialan A newly promoted female member of parliament or something, introduce one for me?"

"Oh, that's enough of you, a witch and a Templar? I guess they're going to fight within five sentences." Veronica's black-brown shawl-length hair smelled of roses, and Garland The witch glared at Ryan angrily: "Are you serious?"

"Okay, then let's not talk about this." Ryan just said casually, he suddenly reached out and brushed Veronica's face and slender neck, and said softly: "Close your eyes, honey, I I have something for you."

"What kind of gift?" Veronica closed her eyes obediently, and the witch felt sweet in her heart.

"The tenth anniversary of our acquaintance, this is our exclusive memory. I will give this to you now. In my heart, you will always be that stubborn witch covered in thorns." Ryan took out a small box.

Inside the box was a golden ring. The ring was made of some unknown metal. In the flame-shaped diamond, a golden hammer was imprinted with the power of lava. ancient runes.

"Give it to me?" Veronica immediately fell in love with the ring, and said happily: "Thank you, I like it very much, please put it on for me, dear."

"I asked one of my brothers for this, he is an excellent craftsman." Ryan carefully put the ring Veronica on her left ring finger: "You will definitely like it."

"Thank you... Ryan, you are so kind." Feeling the moving power contained in the ring, Veronica only felt that she was a little drunk. She closed her eyes and stood on tiptoe, her cherry red lips printed on Ryan's face. mouth.

Right on the busy deck of the Bordereau galleon, everything disappeared.

All that was left was the salty sea breeze and the sound of the waves lapping on the ship's side.

The sea breeze is endless, the blue sea and the blue sky.

a long time.

"It's windy outside, let's go in!"

"Ok!"
