Chapter 167, Dating and Meeting

The Ring of the Lions, the largest racecourse in the Old World, is a splendid prehistoric elf structure that existed even before Charlemagne founded his empire.

This is a huge stone oval building, with rows of steps leading straight to the ceiling tens of meters high. The racecourse is covered with ribbons and various banners composed of the coats of arms of the twelve principalities. The entire racecourse looks even more spectacular than the Korona Palace.

The racecourse was originally closed to ordinary people, but this naturally did not trouble Ryan, Suria and others. They easily let the guards let them go and stepped into the racecourse.

In autumn, there was no one in the racetrack. Ryan, Suria, and Sylvia slowly stepped into the racetrack, stepping on the solid soil, and Ryan closed his eyes gently.

He seemed to feel the fanaticism and glory of the knights' meeting, and the passionate roar of countless audiences.

The neighing of war horses, the panting of knights, and the raised lance raised dust all over the sky. The moment they passed by, in the blink of an eye, the outcome had already been decided.

Endless glory will be awarded to the final victor. Under the watchful eyes of the lake goddess Morgiana and King Richard, who can become the champion of the knight tourney through his martial arts and virtues?

Anyway, it has nothing to do with me, Ryan complained in his heart, his age is over twenty-four years old, and the Knights Tournament does not welcome Holy Grail Knights, Mission Knights (Expedition Knights), they are bullying people by entering the competition.

"Ryan, do you like martial arts too?" Su Liya walked to Ryan's side, and the heels of the female knight's silver lace high-heeled shoes made a clicking sound. She crossed her arms and her face was as gentle as water. : "Next year, the four-year martial arts tournament will open again."

"And you will participate, right, Miss Suria, and Miss Sylvia? You will all participate?" The expression on Ryan's face was also very gentle, and he said with a little regret: "It's a pity that I can't participate anymore ..."

"I will participate next year. I will follow in my brother's footsteps and fight for the victory. This is the mission of the family." The female knight looked very serious, and Ryan even felt that she was a little too serious.

The Holy Grail Knight suddenly said: "It's been so long since we've been shopping, let's find a place to sit for a while?"

"Hmm!" The female knight was a little surprised that Ryan didn't plan to take a look anymore, but she didn't object to Ryan. This time, going out for a stroll depends on Ryan's interest: "There is a great bar nearby, West Sylvia likes it too, let's go and see it together!"

"Suria!" Sylvia blushed a little,

It seemed to be blaming the female knight for her self-assertion.

So about twenty minutes later, the three of them came to a "Blue Moon" bar together. Of course, Ryan received the warmest welcome, and the bar owner warmly received him personally.

"No matter where you go, Ryan, you are very welcome!" The female knight sat opposite him, she looked at the Holy Grail Knight badge on Ryan's chest, and she was very envious: "One day, I will also Go on the path of the Holy Grail until you get the lady's approval."

"I will, Miss Suria and Miss Silvia are excellent female knights, I believe that one day you will all become glorious Holy Grail Knights, if... I mean, if you want, I can provide you with some Suggestion." No matter from any point of view, Ryan had a good impression of the female knight in front of him, so he said proactively.

"It's a great honor. I believe Ryan, you must be an excellent knight instructor." Suria adjusted her short skirt a little bit, and a pair of long black silk legs stretched straight and straight under the table. Ryan couldn't help but peeked a few times. Eye.

Ryan's favorite is undoubtedly Veronica's slender and smooth legs in stockings (because he hugged them before), but the long legs of the female knight in front of him are not bad at all or even better, and compared to When getting along with a witch (or a sorceress), Ryan has to spend his brain to interpret every tone and every behavior. He prefers the harmonious atmosphere of getting along with the female knight on an equal footing. .

Although it is a pleasure to fight wits with witches or sorceresses all day long.

Ryan suddenly lowered his head and smiled when he thought of this. He remembered the journey with Teresa after he set off from Nord, and the investigation with Veronica in Marienburg. At that time, he was legally still White Wolf Knight, I didn't expect his situation to change dramatically after just one year...

"Ryan?" Just as the Holy Grail Knight was deep in thought, Suria suddenly interrupted his wild thoughts: "What's the matter? I think you seem to be distracted."

"It's not a gentleman's job to be distracted in front of a lady, Mr. Ryan." The serious maid also reminded softly.

"I'm sorry, I thought of something, Miss Suria, you took me out to visit the city like this, uh... Is it not too good for Your Excellency Francois?" Ryan noticed that the eyes of the two female knights were different. Some danger, he quickly explained.

"It's okay. I told my father and got his consent. If there are no accidents, the meeting between father and the others will last for a long time. Ryan, please be mentally prepared." Suria tied her dazzling blond hair After reaching the ear, he smiled.

"Ok."

…………

The next seven or eight days became the most special time Ryan spent after he came to Brittania. He always cared about the long-delayed chivalry war, but after the Duke's daughter and the maid Accompanied by him, he felt that time passed quickly again. The three of them visited many scenic spots in the whole city one after another. Under the beautiful autumn sunshine, they had a great time.

At the same time, the Royal Palace of Korona, the Throne Hall.

In the dark atmosphere, only a small amount of light from the zenith shines in from the glass on the top, and many magic lamps are shining brightly.

The old King of Knights Dinoir-Jean-Richard Le-Angourant sat behind a high wooden table, which was covered with a large number of books and various works of art, hanging beside him A big map, this is the map of the Twelve Principalities of Brittania.

The family coat of arms of the Principality of Connaught was covered with props. Although it was extremely unwilling to admit it, Brittania had already lost this principality. In the last chivalrous war, King Richard of the Knights gathered all the members of the five principalities in the north. The military force and the Blood Red Duke fought a tragic war under the capital of the Principality of Connaught, Musilon City. Both sides suffered losses. The Blood Red Duke was defeated. The Cavaliers could only return without success once again.

Days of meetings made Richard feel distraught. Even the best ambergris in the room could not calm his mind. Sometimes he asked himself whether he was the king of this country or not. Why can't you give a grand state funeral to your nephew and grandson?

A statue of Arthur made of jade stands behind the throne room, alongside Jules, a great knight-king who led Britannia to its heyday but died for it.

Richard never thought that the opposition he encountered would be so fierce, which made the idea of ​​the Knight King encounter unprecedented difficulties.

The first was the opposition of François, Duke of Winfort, and Berhemond, Duke of Bastogne - which he had expected.

Then there was the objection of Louis, Duke of Connet - something he took into account.

Then there was the objection of Boderick, Duke of Boldroux—something he hadn't expected.

In the end, even Hagen, Duke of Gisoleaux, explicitly opposed his proposal to give Anci a state funeral, which Richard never expected.

"My truly reliable and most beloved partner, Hagen, why did you choose to support François and Berhemond?" Richard found an opportunity in private and asked Hagen.

"It's Marienburg." Hagen shook his head in distress: "You know, that kid is the guardian of Marienburg, and I owe Lord Schultz a lot of money, a lot of money."

The king's position became more and more unfavorable. In the throne room, although all the dukes agreed that the war should be regarded as victory, they still could not reach a consensus on the rewards for the Marquis of Anci and the Baron of Lane.

Francois was still holding the pearl of wisdom. The blessing of the Holy Grail made the Duke himself feel tired after several days of meetings. He continued to raise his opinion: "My lord, I hope you can understand one The fact is that Anxi did not formulate this plan. Ryan's surprise attack on the Demon Rock was entirely his own decision. Please, my majesty, do not continue to discuss this matter on the premise that 'this is already part of Anxi's plan' , we all know what happened.”

At this time, another duke spoke:

"Exactly, in fact, it was his stupidity that led to the annihilation of the entire army. After storming Yursen, he should seek to join forces with Ryan's right army, or withdraw from the forest and head towards the nearest Bath." The Principality of Togne or the Principality of Gisoleoch asked for help, instead of rushing towards Ursen Castle with a dull head, which eventually led to such a tragic defeat."

Boderick de Boldro, Grand Master of the Knights of Poseidon, Duke of Boldroux, chosen champion of Poseidon Mannen, whose opposition was a thorn in Richard's throat, the duke who commanded the entire kingdom for more than 80 % of the naval fleet, the king had to take his opinion into account in many matters.

In addition, Berhemond, who rarely spoke, made Richard deeply jealous, and the special status of the Red Dragon Duke in this country had to make the king wary.

"So, we think it's okay not to hold a triumphal ceremony. First of all, the Kingdom must award Baron Ryan Macado with a first-class Grand Cross, a reward of no less than two thousand gold crowns, and a full set of brand-new gifts for no less than fifty people. At the same time, because each principality suffered heavy losses in this war, the kingdom shall not launch a new chivalrous war for at least three years, and at least eighteen months of fixed military duties shall be exempted. Taxes, this is our condition." François' elegant face was very calm: "If His Majesty can agree to this condition, I think we can discuss the matter of Anci-Desmond."

Before Richard could speak, Dalheide, the Duke of Lyonnaise, couldn't stand it any longer. The duke was also very tired. He tapped on the long table in front of him lightly, and said in a muffled voice: "We finally reached a certain place. Agreed, François, but I want to remind you that it was the sacrifice of the Marquis of Anci that brought the victory of Baron Lane in the War of Chivalry, and he never betrayed his faith in the lady and fought to the end One soldier and one soldier, I think he played a more important role in this war, so I think Onsi deserves a state funeral and a first class Grand Cross."

"At the same time, I think the reward for Ryan can still be discussed."

"That's what I mean too. I know that Ryan Malcador is the champion of ladies, but I also think that a first-class Grand Cross is too much, and a third-class Iron Knight may be a more qualified award. As for the two A thousand gold crowns, my God, no matter how you calculate the annual income of the Baron of Jean, it will not exceed 800 gold crowns, right? Besides, this baron is said to have captured a lot of money? How about counting it at 800 gold crowns?" It was the Duke of Montfort, who was on the king's side.

"I think so too. In this way, a third-class Iron Knight Medal, eight hundred gold crowns, and fifty new sergeant armors are already amazing rewards," Richard added a little bored: "As for others Yes, I promise not to launch a new knightly war within two years, and not to levy a fixed military tax within one year."

"Then I think we can still discuss about the state funeral and the First Class Grand Cross." Francois knew that after several days of arduous negotiations, almost all the price tags of the two parties had been put on the table, and Ryan was willing to take a step back. Although Richard was relieved, the price must be paid.

"This problem is back to the original point. It is the bottom line to hold a state funeral for Angie and award the first-class Grand Cross. He gave his life for chivalry! Francois, I don't understand why Ryan, why do you Do you always want to compete with a knight who died for a lady?" Richard continued, the wrinkles on his face became more obvious, and the king, who was already over a hundred years old, became more and more old after this incident.

Francois is also not easy to take this matter, because just as he analyzed, Ryan is not good at contending with the dead, so the Duke himself changed his tone: "Then I don't understand your insistence on state funerals and first-class awards." What is the significance of the Cross, are you planning to let every coach who died in the Chivalry War receive the same honor? Then the state funeral and the first-class Grand Cross are too cheap."

After a long and tedious negotiation, today's meeting is about to come to an end without a problem.

At this moment, the door of the throne room was gently pushed open by some powerful force, and an attendant trot in from outside, ran to Richard's side and whispered for a while.

"What? Her Highness Morgiana is here!" The king was very surprised: "She has already entered the palace?"

"Yes, Your Majesty." The attendant said with some trepidation: "Her Highness Mogiana is on her way to the throne room!"

Hearing this, all the dukes subconsciously stood up, waiting for the arrival of the lake goddess Morgiana, the mortal spokesperson of the lake fairy.

Twenty-five years ago, the status of the Lake God Witch in this country was fully reflected in that incident-she led the Holy Grail Knights into the palace of Korona, announcing the abolition of John II on the spot. The throne of the Knight King, during the whole process, the tyrant couldn't even utter a word of resistance, and could only kneel and obey orders.

The corner of Francois, Duke of Winford raised his mouth. He knew who Morgiana was coming for.
