Chapter 509 Faith Is the First Productive Force
() Early in the morning three days later, Morgiana, who had a ruddy complexion, personally sent Ryan and Suria away.
Surya's face was bright and moving, and Ryan's face was still visible.
After leaving the fairy tower in the lake, Ryan took a solid day's rest and felt much better.
Ryan always felt that after returning this time, even Suria seemed to have become clingy, and the female knight was with him all day now, but the Earl could understand after thinking about it a little bit. As a wife, Suria is still Not having an heir was something the Cavaliers could not bear, especially when Emilia was pregnant.
The noble's court is darker and bloodier than imagined. Without a qualified heir, the position of Suria's wife is not completely stable.
Thinking of the little maid, Ryan felt a little worried, and didn't know how Emilia was doing now. He sent Baron Hux of Devon to Brunswick and Nuer, and sent him a letter of approval signed by him, expressing that Acknowledged that he was the father of the child in Emilia's womb, and sent a jar of berry wine and the bottle of diluted eaux-de-vie.
The diluted eau-de-vie was obtained from the dark salon he once participated in in Marienburg, and the berry wine came from the wood elves' apology for the betrayal of Morgiana. The champion Alaros-Hero and the prophetess Liv sent four cans of berry wine, Ryan drank one can in the championship match with Egil, and there are three more cans.
Regarding this matter, Ryan asked the fairy of the lake, and the fairy of the lake gave a positive answer to this point, that is, the water of life and berry wine are definitely beneficial to Emilia's body.
As for whether to go to Nur... Ryan still decided to follow Gelt's advice.
It's not the right time. Now is the time when Emilia is wrestling with the Imperial Parliament to regain her position as the elector. Ryan's appearance will cause too many changes and give Emilia's political enemies an excuse to attack her.
Lane was going to Nur, only to wait until the dust settled.
All we can do now is wait for the result.
Just in time, Ryan was preparing for his next plan while preparing for the war.
That is to audit and reform all the churches in his territory.
Unknowingly, the time came to June.
The climate is getting hotter,
The scorching sun of summer scorched the earth, and the summer in Brittania was not as hot as Estalia or Tyrell. The serfs could still keep working, and the knights continued to train.
Inside the winery of the Earl of Glamorgan, the air conditioner was on.
In the restaurant, Ryan, Suria, and Sylvia were enjoying breakfast together.
"Miss, do you still need some milk?" Sylvia was wearing a standard maid outfit, with a headscarf and era wrapped around her golden hair, and the headmaid with a serious face asked at the same time: "Your Excellency Ryan, do you need it too?" ?”
"I didn't say that, Sylvia, you can just call me Ryan from now on." Ryan held a soft and delicious butter bread in his hand, and once again corrected Sylvia's fallacy: "We are a family , It’s okay to be outside, you keep calling me Lord Ryan at home, isn’t it a bit of a place?”
"Rules are rules! Even if you are the husband of a young lady, there is still one rule that you should abide by!" Sylvia saw Ryan looking at her, and her heroic pretty face blushed for no reason, and she hurried away Looking at him, he said in a strong tone: "You are the master, I am the servant, and I am the lady's maid. Of course I should call you Lord Ryan."
Ryan really felt helpless towards Sylvia, this maid's temper was as hard as a rock.
The count himself was a little unhappy, he shook his head with a wry smile, and stopped talking.
Sylvia thought Ryan would give up on this issue, but Suria, as his wife, immediately realized the change in Ryan's mood, and the female knight spoke: "Sylvie (Sylvia's name), who Is he the Earl of this territory?"
"Of course it is His Excellency Ryan." The maid replied without thinking.
"Then at home, who is the head of the family?" Surya continued to ask with a smile.
Sylvia now understood what Suria meant, and the head maid lowered her head: "But I am Miss's maid..."
"You are the maid of our husband and wife, and Ryan's order is my order." Surya continued, and the female knight elegantly brushed her waist-deep golden curly hair with her hand: "Do you understand?"
Sylvia didn't answer any more, she was just silent.
Ryan knew that Sylvia had already listened, but she had such a personality, so he didn't say anything more. He turned to Suria and said, "Suria, let's go after breakfast."
"Yeah." The female knight nodded, Ryan and Suria planned to visit home today, interviewing a fugitive slave who escaped from Lyonnaise and came to Ryan: "Sylvie, you will go with us, Right?"
"But..." Sylvia was still a little tangled, facing Surya's eyes, Sylvia finally agreed: "I understand."
Fifteen minutes later, breakfast was finished, and everyone was ready to go out. Since they were in the town, Ryan did not bring many men. He, Suria, Silvia, and the newly promoted knight-errant Juan, this is All the hands of their home visit this time.
Inside the cloakroom of the winery.
The room with an area of 30 square meters was filled with Su Liya's clothes, which shows how rich and luxurious the countess is. When Su Lia married Ryan, she used several carriages to load her clothes. More than a year after her big wedding, she added a lot of clothes and various jewelry and shoes.
In addition to the 10,000 gold crowns given by Angron and the 8,000 gold crowns given by François, Suria's dowry also included subsidies from the fairy in the lake and a gift from the Emperor himself. The aristocratic ladies of the entire knight kingdom are envious.
The female knight quickly picked out a sky blue embroidered and carved silk princess dress, paired with a pair of white suede high heels, and she changed clothes under the service of Sylvia.
"Sylvia, don't you like Ryan?" Suria looked at Sylvia in the mirror and said suddenly.
"I don't dislike him." Sylvia shook her head, "I just think he's being unfair to Miss."
"Unfair?" Surya smoothed the wrinkles of the flesh-colored stockings on her calf with her fingers.
"He obviously already has a lady, but he still has a lot of women." Sylvia said indignantly: "It is his great honor to be favored by a lady, but he has two female courtiers alone." , and that dark elf maid..."
"Those were all women he had relationships with before he got married. Ryan promised me at the time that he would not add anyone after the wedding." Suria smiled, and she actually wanted to talk to Sylvie about this issue. Chatting with Ya, the countess really didn't want to have conflicts with her sister's maid and Ryan: "He is willing to make such an oath for me, what are you still struggling with?"
Sylvia bowed her head in silence, the golden bangs on her forehead covered her face.
Knowing that her maid was just being dissatisfied, Suria simply opened up and said: "Besides, what should I do? Do you think I will use my wife's status to make the two female courtiers of Ryan pack their things and leave? This is in line with the requirements of knights. What? If I can do this, Ryan asks you to leave instead? You are making Ryan very difficult."
Sylvia began to realize the countless problems involved, and she stood behind Suria, still silent.
"Sylvie, let me ask you, are you really not planning to leave me to marry in the future?" Seeing that Sylvia was silent, Su Liya knew that she was aware of this problem, so the female knight simply spoke out.
"I want to be with Miss for the rest of my life." Sylvia's attitude towards this matter was very firm.
"Then as my maid, you will one day become Ryan's female courtier." Surya said directly.
"Miss!!!" Sylvia blushed immediately, "I'm just your maid!"
"You are not only my maid, but also my dowry."
……… I am the dividing line for the dowry………
Thirty minutes later, Suria and Silvia got into the carriage after changing their clothes.
In the carriage, Ryan was talking to Suria about some recent events. He noticed that there were more and more churches in his territory: "Suria, have you noticed? Recently, within our territory There are more and more churches of all kinds."
"This is a normal thing. With the prosperity and wealth of an area, the major churches will definitely come here to compete for faith. Don't forget, Ryan, the lady's church is the most powerful supporter behind you." Suria said as The countess is still very clear about the major churches in the territory as the person who usually manages the internal affairs, and the major churches have also visited Suria and obtained permission to preach.
There are many sects in the old world, among which the most famous and powerful Church of Justice has established a temple in Ryan's territory, and the person in charge is Alfred. Due to Alfred's missionary contributions, he was granted the title of a The respected Templars, and because of Alfred's smooth actions, many major sects in the old world have begun to come to Ryan to preach.
Among them, the most famous are the War Goddess Mirmidia Sect, Death God Moor Sect, Nature God Tal and Mother Goddess Leia Sect, Justice God Valenna Sect and Sea God Mannan Sect.
These sects have successively established temples in Ryan's territory and began to preach.
Not only did Ryan not stop it, on the contrary, as the earl, Ryan encouraged the serfs in his territory to choose to believe in God and guaranteed the freedom of belief. The earl said loudly more than once: "Faith is the primary productive force. We hope that anyone can believe in God." Find your own faith."
Of course, there is no need to question Ryan's authority in the territory. He has always been worshiped by the people as a god. Hearing what Ryan said, almost all serfs began to face a kind of happiness trouble, and the major sects also began to believe in scramble.
The Moor Church of Death has successfully infiltrated those occupations and soldiers who are engaged in high-risk jobs, because no one wants to let their soul and body be played by Chaos God or undead magic after their death.
The Church of the Goddess of War, Mirmidia, is spreading among trainee knights and sergeants. The priests of the Church of the Goddess of War are willing to provide military education and literacy education for these people, especially those citizens who have just been promoted from serfs to freemen. People who are eager to read.
The beliefs of Tal, the God of Nature, and Leia, the Mother Goddess, are mainly spread among serfs, hunters, and woodcutters. They rely on the land, forests, and nature to bring them their lives. Only with your own hands can you earn wealth and maintain awe of nature.
The sect of Valenna, the God of Justice, is most liked by scholars, officials, artists and cultural businessmen, because she represents justice and truth, and also means protection and the rule of law.
Sea God Mannan is of course the favorite of sailors and fishermen. Many serfs on the Chinon River who fish for a living have converted to the Sea God Sect under the introduction of the Sea God Priest.
As for the Sect of Goddess of Mercy Thalia and the Sect of the Fairy in the Lake, I have already introduced them before, so I won’t repeat them here.
In Ryan's territory, the most influential one is still the sect of the fairies in the lake. Now every Sunday, the Church of the Holy Grail is often overcrowded, and the serfs almost always come to the church of the Holy Grail to pray first, thanking the fairies of the lake for their blessing and favor, even Many serfs showed some signs of fanaticism.
The previous ban on serfs from believing in the fairies of the lake is gradually breaking down, and even the most conservative and stubborn knights can't say anything about this craze of fanaticism. After all, every devout believer hopes that his god will get more People's approval, especially after Ryan spoke, the knight who opposed the most resolutely could only mutter a few words in private, such as "the standard should always be higher", which is not painful.
Many merchants who often trade in the territory of Ryan even donate large sums of wealth to the Church of the Fairy in the Lake in exchange for protection and status. Poor and uncontractual businessmen are punished.
"Having faith is better than having no faith." Ryan continued, with a smile on his face: "Faith is a sharp weapon against chaos and corruption. Now that the serfs are starting to have a life of food and clothing, and their families have surplus food, they can easily start thinking wildly. And the major sects will bring spiritual sustenance and ensure social stability."
"Speaking of which, Lord Ryan, who are we going to meet today?" The young Juan is still armed, he is wearing a bright and blinding sun knight body armor, the young man is very excited to be able to act with Ryan, he has some He opened the curtain rudely.
"Mr. Juan, didn't your family teach you what is polite? Isn't it rude to open the curtain like this?" The young knight was immediately punished by Sylvia's sharp eyes, and Juan had no choice but to She smiled to cover up her embarrassment: "I'm sorry."
"We are going to see Sir Bertrand and Captain Raymond." Ryan didn't mind, he took Suria's hand and explained to Juan.
"Oh! It's Sir Bertrand the Green Arrow! Is that the Sir Bertrand who shot and killed the great wizard Heinrich Kemmler with one arrow in the battle of La-Messenelle Abbey?" Juan's eyes It lit up, and he looked like a fan of brains: "Oh, this is so cool, I want to write to my father... Your Excellency Ryan, why did you go to see Sir Bertrand?"
"Bertrand and Raymond investigated the surrounding area of Mousillon under my order." Ryan's face was a little serious: "By the way, I also want to see Raymond and his family. Come on, this time I return to my hometown to investigate, and I will definitely gain something from the situation there."
"Understood." Fu Pin Chinese
