Chapter 598, Visiting the Empire
The birth of a child is a big event. When he got the news, the first person to react was Katzenberg, who is now the butler of Musillon. This butler suggested that Ryan hold a big banquet to celebrate his recovery of Musillon. , and celebrating the birth of his eldest son.
"Having a banquet is not the purpose. In this way, you can show the Duke your connections, your status, your control over the kingdom, and most importantly, you now have an heir." Katzenberg was very enthusiastic about this suggestion. He even strongly urged Ryan to do something special.
Of course Ryan knew that from Katzenberg's point of view, he certainly wanted to make a big deal of everything, because as the butler, this matter would give him a chance to show his skills, and from his Winford's point of view, his family Katzenberg was naturally very happy that Miss gave birth to such a baby boy.
After thinking about it for a while, Ryan also felt that it was time to make a big fuss.
So, when Devonhill was full moon, Ryan held an extremely grand banquet in his Duke's castle, swearing to the whole country his strength and the birth of an heir.
Everyone understands the meaning of this, so at the full moon banquet, all the dukes of Brittany, including Hubald, the Duke of Carcassonne, who rarely left the territory, also came to the banquet, and the scene was once very spectacular .
Even the former king John II, who had been imprisoned for many years, and Richard, who is still on the throne, came. John II had white hair and dark age spots on his face. When he saw the fairy from the lake, this Hot tears flowed from the cloudy eyes of the deposed king. He knelt on the ground and kowtowed a few times, and then was helped down by his servants. A small table was placed in the corner of the banquet for him to enjoy the food alone.
During the whole process, the fairy in the lake didn't look at him or say a word.
Richard also took the initiative to propose a toast to Ryan. After drinking a glass of red wine, all the grievances and grievances over the years have been wiped out. Similarly, Richard also seemed to be aging a lot. He patted Ryan's arm lightly: "The future will be handed over to you." Here it is, this kingdom, and I will say nothing else."
Ryan nodded silently.
In addition, the Empire, Estalia, Tyrell, Wood Elves, and Karak-Breeze Castle all sent envoys to congratulate. Such a huge scene also allowed people to see Ryan's strength.
In the middle of the banquet, Suria came out to meet everyone with Devonhill in her arms. The female knight had almost recovered in about a week after giving birth. She spent some time exercising and quickly restored herself to her pre-pregnancy perfection. figure.
At this time, the female knights were only faced with congratulations and blessings. The noble ladies surrounded the female knights like stars holding the moon, and they kept asking what an heir meant. Everyone knew what an heir meant.
The little baby Devonhill seldom cries, he always likes to look at the world with his eyes wide open. He has been raised for a month. The pink and chubby baby is very cute, especially he doesn’t cry He doesn't make trouble, he can still bark a few times, and he already knows how to speak some basic languages. He laughs or shakes his fists from time to time. A group of noble ladies always scream collectively, and everyone is vying to hug him.
The child's godfather, Ryan, has already chosen for him, that is, Calad-Galament, Earl of Garrament of the Principality of Bastogne, the Grand Knight of the Holy Grail will be Devonhill's godfather.
Callard is powerful, has outstanding virtues, is of the right age, and has a good personal relationship with Ryan. Suria fully agrees with Ryan's ideas, and when he learned that Ryan actually chose him as Devonhill's godfather, Callard was still very happy. A little flattered, but he did not refuse, but accepted Ryan's request very seriously.
After the banquet was over, Fulgan also led his men to leave. He had many things to do and it was impossible to stay here for a long time at Ryan.
The appearance of the Primarch in Britannia has indeed caused a sensation. It is said that he has received hundreds of love letters during this period.
Forgan is gone, but the Norscan woman Ingrid stayed.
This has to mention a major "accident" that happened a few days before the banquet.
At the banquet scene, the female Norse came to the Templar Alfred and deliberately provoked him.
"The hero who defeated Mu Xilong looks nothing more than this. Look, you are half a head shorter than me!" The female barbarian with a height of 1.85 meters stood in front of Alfred.
"If this lady doesn't mind, I can immediately close the gap between us." Alfred is not to be outdone, the Templar Captain is now famous and a famous hero in the old world, and his deeds have spread. , naturally began to have arrogance.
So the two sides found a place to have a glorious duel.
In the end, even though there was no winner, Alfred and Ingrid fought for a long time but couldn't make a decision, but let the barbarians have a good fight, and then for some reason, Alfred suddenly proposed to hire this The female Norse, the reason is that there is a need for such a legendary strongman to sit in the church area. Ingrid saw that the price Alfred offered was good, and she was a little moved. Finally, she stayed after Fulgan agreed. .
After the banquet, there was a series of personnel transfers and arrangements. Ryan began to build a large number of workshops and new manors along the lower reaches of the Grace Murray River. Part of the swamp of Musillon has begun to fade, and the newly opened A large amount of farmland can be used for farming, and waves of serfs seeking opportunities were directly moved to Musillon by Ryan to reclaim new land.
After several months, Ryan finally completely laid out the entire industrial belt. Karak-Breeze Castle in the upper reaches of the Grace Murray River and the Angrund clan dwarves in the Blackstone Stronghold can directly pass the river Continuously transport ore and various materials to the downstream.
Suria also played a very important role in this, and the female knight's talent in internal affairs was fully demonstrated.
When the time came to November, Ryan formally signed the "Old Musilon Agreement" with Adehad, the Duke of Leonasse, as the Duke of Musillon, and Leonasse returned his land in the south to Musillon again. The Duke of Long, in exchange for a huge military fund of 10,000 kronor, a large amount of food, and military assistance, this also means that this piece of territory that has been ceded for five hundred years has returned to the Principality of Musillon again. embrace.
Along with the return, there are also rebellions. Since the nobles of Lyonnaise have occupied a large number of manors and lands in the old domain of Mousilon, they continue to emphasize these territories when faced with whether to return to Lyonnaise or choose to accept the rule of Ryan It was obtained legally by itself, and Ryan was required to accept their conditions, guaranteeing them "independence" and "autonomous rights."
Ryan's answer is also very simple, either surrender, early surrender can get "Andu", just like Earl Durin and Earl Larotte, you only need to be loyal and accept Ryan's reforms, and surrender later is fine, although the land will be destroyed Confiscation, noble status and knight titles can also be retained.
Either hit.
In the end, the war against the rebellion was still carried out. Baron Armand of Meroving led the old guard and 3,000 troops to defeat the entire rebel army outside the city of Mousilon. More than 30 knights were deprived of their knight titles successively. and aristocratic status, reduced to serfs.
The entire kingdom remained silent about Ryan's confiscation and deprivation of so many knight titles in one go. One is that Ryan's meritorious deeds are now attracting worldwide attention, and no one dares to oppose his will. Second, the rebellion did happen, and the vassals will not have any harm to the traitors. The pity is finally the support of the Fairy Church in the Lake.
When the rebellion was all put down, the time had come to winter.
The second Lane's Backyard Turkey Feast takes place in the Ladies' Court at the Duke's Castle in Lane.
At the banquet, a resolution was passed on a more reasonable allocation of Ryan's personal time, a resolution on how to ensure internal unity and unanimity to the outside world, and a resolution on absorbing the head maid Sylvia to join.
The closing ceremony of the turkey feast, Suria delivered a speech as the Duchess.
After finishing the Winter Veil Festival and learning about everything, Ryan officially set off from Musillon as the Duke of Musillon, the God-Chosen Champion of the Fairy in the Lake, and the Crown Prince of the Knight Kingdom, and brought his family to visit the empire upon invitation.
Emperor Karl Franz extended a warm welcome to the Ryan family.
Emperor Karl Franz invited Lane to take a boat trip on the Riker River together, and welcomed Lane to visit his hometown again, and introduced the customs and customs of Rikerland and the buildings along the way to Lane.
The Duke of Lane said that he was very glad to have the opportunity to visit the Empire again, to visit Brunswick, the hometown of Emperor Karl, which has beautiful scenery and a strong cultural and artistic atmosphere. Many major historical events have occurred in this fertile land of civilization, and a large number of heroes have been bred and cultivated. , especially the series of anti-chaos, anti-greenskin, and anti-vampire wars in the old world paid huge sacrifices and made important contributions, which is the pride of the empire and the people of the empire.
On the giant ship of the Rick Navy, Ryan and Emperor Karl Franz, while admiring the coastal scenery, talked about the historical and cultural exchanges between the two countries and the unity and cooperation in fighting against foreign enemies. Ryan sincerely said that the Empire and Bremen Tania's consensus on deepening mutual trust and cooperation is unbreakable. At present, both the empire and Brittania are in a rare period of peace. Under the current situation, the two sides must deepen strategic cooperation, in order to protect the peace, tranquility and stability of the old world and the mortal world Keep contributing.
Emperor Karl Franz expressed his approval of the views of Duke Lane. The emperor said that the current structure of the old world has undergone tremendous changes. The Chaos Eternal Chosen has appeared in the north. The external risks and common challenges faced by the Empire and Brittania are on the rise. , Emperor Karl Franz emphasized that no matter in the past, present or future, the Empire and Brittany are good neighbors that cannot be moved away and true partners that cannot be separated. stand together.
Emperor Karl Franz emphasized that win-win cooperation always takes mutual trust as the cornerstone, strengthens mutual strategic support, increases mutual support on issues involving each other's core interests, vigorously promotes people-to-people bonds, consolidates the foundation of public opinion for generations of friendship, and encourages All walks of life and localities of the two countries have strengthened exchanges and mutual learning, and jointly passed on the baton of friendship between the Empire and Brittania from generation to generation.
The two sides agreed to deepen political mutual trust, strengthen strategic communication, increase mutual support, and issue a statement that the two countries should jointly respond to challenges in the field of strategic security, strengthen strategic coordination on regional security hotspot issues, and coordinate operations when necessary, Duke Lane Seriously express that the empire has persisted for two thousand years under the situation of being surrounded by enemies. The knight brothers on the other side of the mountain will not sit back and watch our empire brothers encounter difficulties. As fellow human beings, the knights will do their best to support the imperial people and work together for Continue to work hard to resist the chaos from the south.
Under the talks between the Duke of Lane and Emperor Karl Franz, the relationship between the two countries was raised to an unprecedented new height.
Subsequently, the Empire invited the Duke of Lane to temporarily stay in Brunswick to watch the competition for the selection of the next Royal Chief Wizard at the Imperial Academy of Wizardry, which will be held in January next year.
It was already the end of December at this time, and Brunswick was still as prosperous and crowded as it used to be. It was snowing in the sky, and the snow was as white as cotton wool, covering the entire capital of the empire. every corner of the
Ryan and others naturally received the highest standard of courtesy. Emperor Karl Franz arranged for Ryan and his party to live in the Brunswick Royal Hotel, and occupied an entire floor.
Ryan didn't bring many people this time. Except for the 200 old guards and some knights, he only brought his wife Suria, head maid Sylvia, personal maid Olika and the Templars. The chief Alfred came to Brunswick, and for some reason, the Norscan woman Ingrid also came.
"Dad! Dad, play with me!" Devonhill was crawling on the ground. The baby is only five months old now, but he already knows how to stand and talk. He looks very cute. The baby is holding a The fluffy doll with a gun came to Ryan with unsteady footsteps, half-crawled and half-walked: "Dad, look, ride a gun!"
"Hey hey hey~" Ryan was very excited. The father picked up his son and turned around twice, allowing him to poke the pistol doll on his minibus: "My dear son, give dad a kiss!" !"
"No, don't want a kiss from Dad, but a kiss from Mom!" Devonhill stretched out his fleshy little hand to press Ryan's face, pushed him away, and turned to look for his mother: "Mom~"
"Hey! Mom is here!" Su Liya took her son from Ryan with a smile. The female knight has already recovered her amazing beauty, and her face has a more maternal brilliance. She hugged Devin Hill, the little guy giggled when he saw that it was his mother. His cute appearance made the whole room much more lively.
"Master!" Olika leaned on Ryan's back, and the dark elf maid obviously liked Devonhill very much: "It's so cute."
I don’t know why recently, Olika likes to lie on Ryan’s back. The dark elf maid originally didn’t want to come out to show her face, but since it was Ryan’s order, she came out, and occasionally walked on the street. mask.
"Hehehe~" Ryan said with a smile on his face, "Of course, that's my child."
"Dong dong dong~" At this moment, there was a knock on the door outside the big suite.
"I'll open the door!" The head maid Silvia stood up and went to open the door.
As soon as the door of the room was opened, a little boy about two or three years old, wearing a black and gold silk dress of an imperial aristocrat, rushed in. He had golden hair, good features and was very beautiful.
"May I ask who you are?" Before Sylvia could understand, the little boy stared at Ryan, and immediately pointed to his nose and shouted: "It's dad! It's my dad, that's right! It feels like he is my dad !"
After finishing speaking, he rushed up and hugged Ryan's thigh: "Dad!"
What's the matter, Xi Dang Da? Who is this child? Ryan was still a little puzzled, and the sound of high heels stepping on the carpet came from the door.
"Long time no see, Mr. Lane~ Are you a father again?"
