Chapter 626, Forget the Pain when the Scar Is Healed
() "Thanks to my knowledge, they helped me and saved me..."
Vincent talked about his experience.
After the first battle of the Abbey of La-Messenelle, Vincent almost collapsed because of his delay, and was almost executed by an angry François for failing to hold his position and prevent Kemmler from escaping. In the end, because of Suria's intercession, he was instead assigned to the Imperial Oster Territory as an ordinary diplomat.
Ostland is a place of bitter cold, with a shortage of supplies, and repeated battles with the northern barbarians, the beastmen in the Shadow Forest, and the Chaos War Gang in the Brass Fortress of the Central Mountain Range. It is really a dangerous and tormenting place, Vincent When Te first arrived there, his life was also very miserable. As a diplomat, he could barely make ends meet.
But after all, he came from a great nobleman. Vincent may not be an excellent knight in Osterland, a place where the general education level is low, but he is indeed an excellent scholar. As an ordinary diplomat, he quickly He was favored by the Elector of Wamir, and was responsible for helping the Elector of Wamir to write some propaganda articles, announcements and reward orders. By the way, he also helped the Elector to write a lot of things. Wolfenburg got a job.
"That's how it is." Ryan remembered the past, and nodded self-deprecatingly: "Indeed, I used to be like this in Nord, even the nobles can at most ensure that they can read and write, and many nobles write love letters and letters. You have to go to those court clerks or even bards to help you write documents and invite letters. It is said that some people make a living by doing this, it seems that they are called automatic scribes?"
"That's right, I'm one of them." Vincent smiled wryly, "At most, I wrote fifteen love letters a day for Elector Vamir, and they were divided among the six ladies."
"How is the north now?" Ryan asked casually.
"Not very well, my Duke." Unexpectedly, Vincent frowned: "Just as I left Ostland, ominous signs of a human civil war have appeared. There have been several large-scale fights between Starland and Hawkland due to territorial disputes."
"It's all full!" Ryan's face was slightly angry, but then he sighed helplessly, and he knew why.
The northern provinces of these three empires are all enjoying the bonus period. Ryan killed King Egil of Scalins-Red Eye's bonus period. Although this bonus period has basically come to an end, the northern barbarians may make a comeback at any time, but these nobles I don't think they started to have ideas again after enjoying a short period of peace.
That is a territorial dispute.
As we all know, the Kingdom of Nord was not originally a province of the Charlemagne Empire. It was the empire that gradually formed after the emperor Sigismund II conquered the Judons. Province, after the era of the Three Emperors, Nord was also part of the territory that was announced to give up the territory. The Nords at that time were very miserable. They were driven by the Midden leaders in the south, and plundered and massacred by the barbarians in the north. This allowed them to survive by also making themselves very savage, so that the blood of the Nords flowed at the same time with the blood of the Norsca, the Thuringians (Middenlanders) and the Judons. During this period, a large number of Norse tribes were unwilling to believe in the four gods of chaos and moved south to settle in Nord.
Later, after the Great Holy War, Ludwig was committed to reintroducing Nord into the empire. He gave one vote to elect the emperor and made his deputy Harald Frank the Grand Duke of Nord. When he was alive, everything was fine, but after Ludwig took off the crown and disappeared, Harald Frank began to express his dissatisfaction. There are certain complaints, he thinks he deserves more than being king of the mountain in a bitter cold place.
He began calling himself King of the Nords, and did things including but not limited to the following.
Sent many of his men to other provinces of the empire to forge noble title claims.
Marry off the female members of many families one by one and then take the opportunity to seek the noble title of her husband's family.
Recruit the noble children who have strong claims in the provincial courts of other empires to the Nord Kingdom to give them a noble title, and then use this as an excuse to start a succession war.
In the end, he even let his eldest grandson and first in line heir (his eldest son has long passed away) Theodoric Geisel to declare himself Prince of Marienburg, just because his wife Lived in Marienburg for a few days.
The problem is that when the empire was established, there was no Nord to lead this province, and Harald Frank had a high status, and he was once Ludwig's adjutant. Maybe Emperor Karl Franz came to him Would you like to shout great-grandfather in front of you?
The confusion of claims gave the Nords an excuse to launch a war, and the reduction of external pressure caused by Egil's death gave the Nords the conditions to launch a war. They have long coveted the good cedar and oak that Hawke led for a long time up.
It can only be said that human beings always repeat the same tragedy.
Emperor Karl Franz was also troubled by this matter. After the Winter Veil Festival, the emperor sent a small number of imperial troops to the north. Debrand-Ludenhof invited to go to the hills of Weiss to wipe out the Beastmen and the remnants of the green skins, but in fact everyone knows that the emperor used this method to warn the Nordland not to act rashly. After all, the Hawke The area is indeed small, the army is elite but not many.
"I remember that the eldest son of Elector Edbrand is being taught in Nur?" Ryan pinched his chin.
"That's right, Emilia said that Konrad Ludenhoff is studying at Nuer University." Suria gave an affirmative answer.
"Mr. Vincent, since you have expertise in this area, then serve as my clerk in my court in the future." Ryan nodded.
"Dare not to obey." Vincent naturally did not dare to object. His greatest wish now is to be able to accompany his daughter quietly.
After explaining Vincent's matter, Ryan turned his attention to Oliver: "Oliver, what good news did you bring me?"
"It's not good news, Lord Ryan." Oliver seriously pulled out a list of goods from his handbag: "According to your instructions, we checked the source of the first-class Obiang wine in the Bordeaux Valley .”
"What did you find?" Ryan took the cargo list.
"Over the years, only three barrels of this wine have flowed into Nuer, one barrel was purchased by Countess Emmanuel, one barrel was purchased by Nuer University as a drink for academic exchanges, and the other barrel was purchased by the Speer family "Oliver expressed his confusion: "We can't check the Countess Emmanuel and Nur University. As for the Spier family, it seems that they held a grand banquet on the night of the arrival of the goods, and they drank everything completely. .”
"A grand banquet?" Ryan suddenly realized something.
"Yes, a grand banquet, a masquerade ball." Oliver continued.
Masquerade? ! Ryan and Suria looked at each other.
"Oliver, have you found out when the next Spear family masquerade will be?" Ryan asked casually.
He also wanted to test Oliver.
"In April, it will be held in Nuer's Golden Smile Hall." Oliver did not disappoint Ryan, and the big businessman took out another list.
"Very well, my wife, it seems that we are going to stay in Nurdo for a while." Ryan nodded slightly, and his face became firm: "Things can't be left halfway, for Emilia's Ann, and for Xiaofu's sake." Redrick's Ann, we must root out the Society of the Carpenters!"
"That's right!" At this moment, the door was kicked open by a high-heeled shoe: "Boom!"
Emilia suddenly walked in from the door of the room, and the face of the Duchess of the Empire was full of anger: "I don't allow it! I can't! I can't! These Chaos believers actually want to be in Nur! Want to be in my city Inside, do something like this!"
"Emilia? You know?" Ryan said in surprise.
"I've known it for a long time, I've always known it!" Emilia's face was burning with anger, which made her originally beautiful and charming face a little hideous: "You think you've kept it from me? Ryan, you are How to be a father like this?!"
After finishing speaking, Emilia jumped directly on Ryan's body like an angry lioness, pinching Ryan's face with her hands: "Such a big thing happened, it's in the city of Nuer, you don't know let me know?!"
"Calm down, Emilia!" Ryan had to hug Emilia to calm her down: "We are thinking of a solution."
"I will mobilize the Nuer army! Whoever participated in this concert will be killed on the spot!" The countess of the empire was full of blackness, and she waved her fists and shouted: "If you dare to touch my son, I will kill you on the spot!" Die!"
"Emilia!!!" Ryan finally yelled, and he was also angry: "Then everything is over! The clues we finally found out! You must calm down! Any movement of the army will make the Carpenter Association aware And run away!"
Ryan's roar was full of psychic impact, and Emilia's brain was hit by Ryan's psychic power on the spot. The Queen of the Empire shuddered and finally calmed down. She gritted her teeth: "Then what do you say? ? You are the child's father! You must take responsibility."
"At that time, Suria and I will go to that masquerade ball." Ryan thought for a while, and then said: "By the way, let Olika act together, we are in the open, and Olika will cooperate with us in the dark .”
"No problem, master." The dark elf nodded with a smile.
"No, it's not you and Sister Suria, it's me, we, participating in this concert." Emilia objected and said, "Masquerade? It's a rather mysterious banquet, and a large number of artists are often invited to appear. Including aristocrats, sculptors, bards and painters, this is a gathering of the Nuer elite circle, for outsiders, only those who provide a huge sponsorship fee are eligible to enter, all wearing masks and drinking* *, in what capacity are you and sister Surya going to attend the masquerade ball?"
"..." Ryan was silent.
"It can only be me, and it must be me." Emilia said firmly: "Only if I take you to the masquerade ball will it not attract suspicion, Ryan, you are an outsider, and you are a stranger to Nuer. You don't understand many etiquettes and rules, you need my help."
"Well, let's do this!" Ryan thought carefully for a while, and he had to admit that what Emilia said made sense.
"Okay, let's get ready."
In this way, Ryan and his group temporarily stayed in Nuer. On the surface, Ryan continued to place orders with the Nuer military factory as the Crown Prince of Britannia and the Duke of Mousilon, and at the same time tried to get the guns from Nuer. The college introduced high-tech talents, because the negotiation was not particularly smooth, so Ryan and his party temporarily lived in the palace of the elector, but the great nobles of Nuer did not say anything about it.
The two children, Devonhill and Frederick Jr., were crazy about playing. The two little boys got on well with each other. Both the elder brother and the younger brother were called together, but they often quarreled and got into trouble.
It is worth mentioning that when Ryan visited Nuer University, he finally met a large group of challengers. Many young and energetic children of the great nobles of the empire took out their white gloves, and pieces of white gloves flew towards Ryan like raindrops .
"For Countess Emmanuel, please fight me! Your Excellency Ryan!"
"Your Excellency Ryan, I want to challenge you!"
"The Holy Grail Knight on the other side of the mountain! Take it!"
"If you lose, leave our Countess!"
Various challenges emerged one after another, and the great nobles of Nur were obviously venting their dissatisfaction in this way. Just the moment Ryan entered the campus of Nur University, he received a challenge request from more than a dozen white gloves.
Ryan was very calm about this, he said don't worry, everyone has a share, come one by one, I am here, I can't escape, the children of the great nobles calmed down after the excitement.
Ryan went on to say that it's good to have challenges, but that doesn't mean you don't have to pay anything, right? In this way, a challenger challenges 200 gold marks once, and gets a 200 discount immediately for a one-time purchase of 1,000, and free shipping (referring to the Church of the Goddess of Mercy for treatment), how about it? fair right? I, Ryan, as the God's Choice champion of the Ladies of the Lake, am very convincing with virtue. Don't worry, I'm very light-handed (meaning I won't kill anyone).
The children of the great nobles got together to discuss it, and thought it was quite fair. The nobles of Nur all have money, and no one is short of this money, so they agreed, set the rules of the challenge, and asked Ms. Notarized by the Archbishop of the Lenna Church.
In the afternoon of that day, Ryan earned 6,600 gold marks, and after deducting the 5% commission from the Fair Lady Church, his net income was 6,270 gold marks.
The next day, there were more than 20 more injuries in the Goddess of Mercy Church, and most of the symptoms were fractures and concussions.
The champion of the fairies in the lake was carrying a few bags full of gold marks, weighed the weight of them, and smiled.
If you want to send money, I can't refuse, right?
……… I am the dividing line of money ability………
In April, the Old World, the Roof of the World, Black Rock Castle.
This used to be the famous fortress of the dwarves, the seat of Karak-Daz. In history, it was under continuous siege by the green skins and finally fell. Most of the dwarf clans in the fortress were killed in battle, and a small part fled to the eternal peak Karaz-a-Kalak resides.
The green-skinned warlord Spirit Gefang is the ruler of this green-skinned fortress, and it is a very powerful green-skinned warlord.
At this time, Black Crag Castle was already the most powerful stronghold of the Greenskins in the Roof of the World and the Badlands, but it was about to face a severe test today.
Tamu Khan and his Western Expeditionary Army are here!
