Chapter 677, I Just Want to Disgust You
The Old World, Britannia, the Duchy of Mousillon, the City of Jean, the Duke's Castle of Lane, Winter Veil.
After experiencing the Great Battle of Nur, Ryan wanted to rest for a period of time, and rest assured to rebuild the construction of Mousilon. After all, development is the last word.
But life will never be as Ryan imagined. When he wanted to live a good year, Mu Xilong suddenly broke out a huge commotion.
The rebellion first emerged from the site of the canal at Mousillon, where the workers who were digging the canal went on strike after learning of the Old Guard's investiture ceremony, shouting for change, for more Benefits, more vacations, more pay, they even demanded unions.
As a result, Ryan's originally planned construction period from the Sandnes River in Korona to the Grass Murray River went bankrupt because of the strike, and stopped at a position only about 50 kilometers away from the Grass Murray River.
Ryan had to immediately send people to negotiate with the workers, and then he was amazed at the conditions proposed by the workers. The minimum working hours for equal pay for equal work came out. Can these workers come up with this? What era do they think it is now? Everyone has meat? No need to fight Chaos anymore? It is considered very conscientious for the workers who dig the canal to be able to eat and pay some wages.
What bike do you want?
Ryan could feel that something was wrong, so he immediately sent someone to start an investigation, mixed in with the workers, and started the investigation.
Sure enough, chaos cultists appeared among the canal workers, and they had already formed a fairly tight organization, headed by a secret leader of the "Ultra Hand" sect.
The Hand of Wuzi is one of the Chaos Sects of Tzeentch, and one of the largest Chaos Sects in the Old World. After receiving Tzeentch's oracle, this Chaos Sect followed the immigrants of the empire to Mu Xilong, and secretly developed believers. They carefully protected and concealed their existence. If they hadn't received Tzeentch's oracle, they might have been lurking for decades.
When Ryan discovered the shadow of the Chaos Sect, these Chaos believers had grown to thousands of people, and they had established branches in several baronies of the Duchy of Musillon and even in the city of Musillon. When Lucien, Baron of the Spire Palace led the army When they were going to exterminate them, these strange cultists actually summoned the Tzeentch Demon, which repelled Lucien's attack for a while, and it was not until the reinforcements arrived that they completely wiped out this group of cult gangs.
When the time came to this time, things had already become a big mess, and the industrial belt along the Mousilon River that Ryan had built with great difficulty also showed signs of instability. He had to immediately gather a standing army of 3,000 people and go to the place together with the old guards. Mu Xilong put down the Chaos sect, and Teresa also went with the army.
No matter how powerful the Chaos cultists are, they will naturally not be Ryan's opponents. After spending two weeks, Ryan relatively easily eradicated all the new strongholds of the Crow Purple Hand sect in Mousilon, at least on the surface. existence of sects.
Surprisingly, before, Tzeentch's sect gave a lot of support to the actions of the Black Purple Hand, and even spent their divine power to give magic spells to their followers, give enlightenment and even send Tzeentch's demons, but when Ryan really appeared At that time, the evil god quickly abandoned his believers,
Pretend nothing happened and don't give Ryan any chance to fight back.
Even more disgusting is yet to come.
First of all, because the Black Purple Hand appeared and passed down from the immigrants of the empire, the natives of Musillon suffered a lot from it. This caused Ryan to try his best to make the locals of Musillon and the immigrants of the empire live in harmony. In the areas most corrupted by Chaos and the areas most damaged by Chaos Cultists, the Musilon natives and imperial immigrants produced a lot after Ryan's army left. The conflict was suppressed only by Ryan's own prestige, and it might take longer to return to the previous situation of understanding and helping each other.
This really made Ryan feel extremely disgusted. The delay of the canal's construction period was barely acceptable, but the trust between people was difficult to restore, and the reconstruction of Mousilon urgently needed the help of imperial immigrants. Ryan was working hard to build the building blocks, and finally built half of the building blocks. Tzeentch rushed out from nowhere and pushed the building blocks down, and then slipped away with a sly smile.
This is not the most disgusting thing, waiting closely behind Ryan is the voice of opposition from the nobles of the kingdom.
The conservative nobles of Brittania finally found an opportunity to fiercely oppose Ryan's series of reforms and measures within the royal court, especially the promotion of knights from serfs, the serf household redemption system and the Conservative aristocrats believe that these measures to promote the industrial belt along the Grace Murray River will not only change the status quo in Brittany, but will attract the eyes of evil gods of disaster and chaos. Serfs are Serfs, nobles are nobles, the rules of Brittany have been like this since ancient times, and if one day the serfs stop farming, who will cultivate the land?
Among them, the current Duke of Le-Angulan, Taubote, Duke of Montfort, Fulcade, and Duke of Palaion, Casvann, are the leaders. These three Dukes have always opposed Ryan's reforms. There was a fierce criticism that Ryan's measures were not feasible and hoped to abolish these proposals.
Lawn, who is in charge of the prime minister's affairs in Courona, is a bit overwhelmed by the impeachment of the three dukes. At this time, the old king Richard, who is about to leave office, has helped Ryan in turn. The reason is that Ryan only did this in his own principality and that of his father-in-law François, and did not force other principalities to carry out similar reforms. Naturally, it is their own business. As the regent of the kingdom, Ryan No verdict could be made.
Richard's method is a stupid but effective method. Ryan was a little surprised when he learned that the old king was willing to speak up for him at first, but he soon realized that the old guy was betting on two sides, and his nephew objected, so he Helping Ryan a little bit, if Duke Taubot supports Ryan, he will definitely oppose it.
Boderick, Duke of Boldroux, François, Duke of Winford, and Hubald, Duke of Carcassonne, naturally supported Ryan. The Regent of the Kingdom, Duke Lawn, Duke of Connet, and Adehad, Duke of Lyonnaise, secretly expressed I support it, but if I say it clearly, I will come out and support it directly.
As for the other dukes who are still on the sidelines, they have seen not only the turmoil in the Ryan territory, but also the vitality brought about by the reforms. The most contradictory one is Berhemond, Duke of Bastogne. The most orthodox descendant of Ser is naturally dissatisfied with Ryan's changes, but he can also see the changes that Ryan brought to his territory, especially since Callard is still the godfather of Devonhill. He thought about it for a long time I still decided to take another look, but I have already sent people to start forming my own elite infantry regiment "Red Dragon Guard".
Ryan was distraught by the fierce opposition and the counterattack of the conservative nobles. Although these opposition groups could not affect the overall situation, they could not cooperate.
They only need to object, but Ryan has to solve countless problems, and there are countless pairs of eyes staring at him at any time, waiting for him, as long as the slightest mistake is made, it will be infinitely magnified and become a political enemy. his excuse.
Is Ryan strong?
He is powerful, he wears countless identities, he is the Primarch of the Gray Knights who is not afraid of corruption, he is the noble Son of the Emperor, he is the chosen champion of the fairies of the lake, the patron saint of Britannia, and he is the Mu The Duke of Silon, the perfect man of the eight virtues of chivalry, Landuin-the orthodox heir of the victor, he is the Grand Knight of the Holy Grail, and he is even a traverser. He has actually mastered this country, and his multiple identities and The huge prestige has made him conditionally see his own ideals.
In this way, he was still troubled by a series of recent events.
Obviously, Tzeentch played his own conspiracy in this series of events. In fact, the evil god did not hope to do anything to Ryan. He just wanted to disgust Ryan, and it disgusted Ryan so badly. .
As a result, when Ryan withdrew his troops and was about to return to Jin City, his face was still full of blackness and displeasure.
"What's the matter? Ryan, I rarely see you like this." Right next to Ryan, the sorceress Teresa found it interesting to see Ryan like this.
This time he went to Musilon to suppress the Chaos Cult, Ryan needed a magical helper, Suria and Sylvia would bring Devonhill, and Orika was busy with an important magic experiment, Veronica Still retreating and attacking the sanctuary, Teresa finally went with him.
"There are too many things to worry about." Ryan shook his head in pain. Pieces of snowflakes fell from the sky and fell on his head. Duke Mousilon was wearing a complete ducal dress, and his face was ugly: "I think I have to admit Tzeentch really disgusted me. Thinking of a lot of things that will happen next gives me a headache. On the Ladies Day in the Lake next fall, I will be enthroned in Korona and become the next King of Knights. But when I think about the countless things that are so intricate..."
Teresa could feel Ryan's troubles, but obviously the sorceress didn't know how to comfort people. She thought for a while, and simply joked: "What? Our hero, the Duke of Ryan, who is famous in the old world, will also be killed by everyone. Troubled by the business of the world?"
"I'm also a normal man." Ryan squinted at Teresa, and being teased by the sorceress, he temporarily let go of his inner depression and unhappiness: "Otherwise, I should go to a Holy Grail Church and stay in it, it's okay Just pray, come out and fight if something happens."
"That can't be done! If you do this, I can only be a nun with you." Teresa knew that Ryan was just talking about it, but she was still a little displeased. Due to her busy schedule, she had to study magic again. I also get together less with Ryan, and finally find an opportunity to come out with him. The female sorceress doesn't like to hear Ryan say such things.
"Isn't this very good, Mother Teresa, hahahaha~" Hearing this, Ryan suddenly laughed.
Although she didn't understand what Ryan was laughing at, Teresa gave Ryan a hygienic eye out of a woman's instinct, because she knew that Ryan must have thought of something good, this was her intuition: "You must be thinking something strange again What's wrong?"
Today's sorceress is wearing a black swan high-cold witch robe, slender and straight long legs, wearing tight brown breeches and a pair of black high-heeled boots. This time, she has slightly trimmed her shimmering black long hair It was a bit shorter, from the length reaching the waist to the length reaching the back. The black glasses with butterfly patterns remained the same. Her small hands wrapped in white lace gloves tightened the reins. An elven warhorse is a very respectable thing in the Garland Council. Teresa named this warhorse "Laurel". Laurel is often borrowed by fellow witches for breeding. After trying for a long time, it didn't work, and the smell of the stables was all over the dress.
The 3,000 people led by Ryan continued to advance. Before dusk, they took the time to cross the Grace Murray River and entered the Principality of Bastogne. The 3,000-man army came to a village not far away and began to prepare Stationed, and at the same time replenished part of the supplies to the local serfs.
Naturally, the villages of the Principality of Bastogne could not accommodate so many troops stationed there, but when they heard the Holy Grail Knights appearing, everyone came out to watch and were willing to sell some surplus grain to Ryan's army. Many serfs took the opportunity to sell their grain and Livestock earned a small bag of silver coins, and the village elder gave up the best big house in the whole village for Ryan and others to live in.
After a simple settlement, Ryan and Teresa entered the big house. The old guards and knight retinues had already carpeted the inside of the big house. There was still some time before dinner. The two looked at the rough environment inside the big house In the dim light, they suddenly looked at each other and smiled.
Fourteen years ago, after they set off from Nord King City, they also came to a village. At night, the two of them had dinner together by candlelight, and then chatted. Teresa stepped on her boots and raised her long legs. Leaning back in the chair: "It doesn't feel bad, if I ask you."
"Where does it feel good? Such a simple environment." Ryan also sat on the bed with a smile. Fourteen years ago, he had nothing but the title of a knight of the kingdom and a suit of equipment. Fourteen years later, he was already a famous sportsman. Human heroes all over the world, it is impossible to go anywhere with Teresa to take risks.
"The poor environment?" Teresa looked at the walls of the room full of nostalgia. The walls made of wood were not very strong, and there were even occasional air leaks, but she was full of nostalgia for everything. Touching the table, touching the wall, completely ignoring the dust on the gloves: "But I feel that it is very warm, warmer than my bedroom in the wizard's tower?"
"What's the reason?" Ryan also understood.
"Reason? Do you still need a reason?" Teresa stood up from the chair, walked to Ryan, sat down, and looked at Ryan's increasingly mature face: "Where you are, it is warm." .”
"Teresa..." Ryan held the hand of the sorceress. He was about to say something when Teresa closed her eyes.
"Okay." Ryan also closed his eyes, and the two gradually approached.
At this moment, the sound of footsteps from outside the room caused the two to separate quickly.
"Teresa, Ryan?" Aurora's voice came from outside the door.
The sanctuary witch is wearing a sandalwood butter brown style lace-up long skirt with slits. Under the skirt is a beautiful calf wrapped in black ultra-thin stockings and a pair of nude-colored stiletto strappy high-heeled shoes. Wearing a butterfly sash, the smooth and delicate insteps were exposed outside. An elegant temperament and a glamorous face came from outside the door. Aurora opened the door of the room. The sanctuary witch was a little impatient at first, But she immediately understood something after seeing her daughter and Ryan. Aurora blushed and coughed softly: "Dinner is ready, you... let's eat first, don't be so anxious..."
"Mother, we just..." Teresa also blushed, and the sorceress hurriedly stood up: "Lian and I are just chatting!"
"You... chat?" Aurora glanced at the bed, and the sanctuary witch didn't intend to argue with Teresa: "Okay, whether you want to chat or do something else, let's have dinner first."
"...Let's go, Ryan." Teresa was too embarrassed to continue, and she stood up quickly.
Ryan had to go to dinner with him.
Damn it, I forgot she was here too!
