Chapter 201, Uninvited Guest

After listening to Francois' words, Ryan thought a lot. He once thought about returning the property rights of the land to the serfs, liberating productivity, and promoting commercialization, but Francois' words made him understand immediately.

In this world, what is the main contradiction facing human beings? Is it the contradiction between serfs and knights, nobles and civilians?

No, not at all, what the human beings in this world are facing is the fundamental contradiction of life and death, surrounded by countless external enemies, and countless internal corruptions, vampires and Chaos sects lurk in the upper layers of human beings, Beastmen and green skins in the forests and fields Raging, in the not-so-distant northern wasteland and the farther Chaos wasteland, powerful and evil Chaos armies are waiting for their masters.

What do you rely on to defend the country? By serfs? No, knights and nobles constitute the main body of a country's combat power. From this point of view, the empire is the same, and so is Brittania. The slight difference is that the main force of the empire is composed of diversified troops, while Tania devoted all her efforts to raising knights.

François disapproves of reform? No, the Duke himself is actually in favor of reform. The Duke has noticed that the serf system in this country is on the verge of collapse. He also believes that hundreds of years have passed since the founding of the country, and the old chivalry and codes are gradually becoming superficial decay. Toys, the knights were in great pain for not being able to touch the Holy Grail, and the serfs were also living in dire straits.

But the Duke is teaching Ryan, and I agree with your idea of ​​reform, but the process must be cautious. The existence of knights is the basis for protecting and maintaining this country. If it is not the most powerful knight in the old world guarding this country , then Britannia has long been in ruins, serfs cannot undertake the task of defending the country, surrounded by countless foreign enemies, if they mess up, the country may collapse and perish at any time, chaos and vampires will not leave time Slowly reunite humanity, and they will appear immediately, destroying the kingdom of knights.

Ryan knew that merchants without faith and serfs with weak faith could never be counted on to fight against evil. After all, defending the country required knights who gave their faith and loyalty to the fairy in the lake. Only they were the backbone of the country. .

As the Holy Grail Knight, Francois saw it clearly, and Ryan also understood that his series of actions had already made many nobles in the kingdom see some clues. Francois specifically found an opportunity, tactfully Warn him: I support you, but now is not the time, the time is not ripe, just like the Cavendish thing, the serfs will not appreciate you at all.

He is already the biggest beneficiary of this system, and he will not do such stupid things as picking up the bowl to eat meat and putting down the bowl to scold mothers.

Moreover, there is a god in this world, and as long as one is devout enough to be sick, one can heal through prayer. The first article of some theories is rejected here.

Firm faith and order are the sharp weapons against chaos and corruption.

The more knowledge and wisdom you have, the more you need firm faith and will to avoid being corrupted by Chaos.

While thinking, Ryan and Francois followed the man in black to a market.

People were coming and going in the market, many vendors were selling fruits and vegetables, and some were selling meat. The man in black quickly got into the crowd. Ryan and Francois wanted to try to catch up, but the Holy Grail Knight His appearance instantly ignited the heat of the whole street, and the crowd surrounded Francois and Ryan. They sang the name of the Holy Grail Knight loudly, and the street was completely blocked.

In order to get rid of the crowd, the two had to yell at the crowd to get out of the way. As a result, the man in black immediately noticed the appearance of Ryan and Francois, and he turned around and disappeared into a two-story wooden house.

"Damn it, it's not suitable for us to come out to find someone like this." Ryan said to Francois distressedly: "Our identity is too obvious, and wherever we appear, people will surround us and sing praises."

"You're right, Ryan." Francois frowned: "Is that like a tavern?"

"In any case, let's go back to the hotel first. If we go to the tavern to investigate again, it will reveal our intentions." Ryan shook his head: "My Duke, I will order someone to keep an eye on this place."

"Then I'll leave it to you." Francois ordered naturally. At his level, the Duke himself rarely takes action himself. Today's situation happened by chance.

Ryan nodded, so he and Francois went back to the hotel. The three-story hotel was directly booked by the Duke himself. Seeing that Francois and Ryan had returned, the Duke's daughter said strangely: "Father ? Ryan? Sylvia said you went out together in the afternoon?"

Seeing his beloved daughter, Francois's face was full of smiles: "Father, isn't this just for you?"

Surya blushed immediately: "Father...Father, what are you talking about!"

The muscles on Ryan's face twitched. He always felt that what Francois said was more like telling him, but he didn't bother to pay so much attention now: "Hex? Emilia? Come with me. "

Hux immediately responded, his expression didn't change, he always had a bitter face, only Emilia, who was sitting next to Suria, asked in a low voice, "Do you need my help?"

There was a little excitement in the girl's voice.

"Yes, I need your help, Emilia." Ryan waved at his little maid: "Come with me!"

"Yes... yes!" Emilia's eyes shone brightly, and the girl trotted to Ryan's side, the sound of her little leather boots clicking, and she looked like a cheerful butterfly.

"My Duke, Suria, Miss Sylvia, let's go first." So Ryan took Emilia and Hux and set off to the place where the man in black robe disappeared just now.

Today's Emilia is wearing a blue wool sweater and black plaid knee-length, a white cape, a pair of black leather shoes, white opaque pantyhose on her slender legs, and long blonde hair Tied into a beautiful princess hair ornament, her blue eyes blinked, and she had a charming temperament. It seemed that after being led by the female knight for a while, Emilia became a lot more cheerful: "Lian ? Are we going?"

"Emilia, you pretended to be a noble lady and asked me to protect you and walk around in the market." Ryan first directed to Emilia, and then said to Hux: "Hex, Just pretend that you are still a knight-errant wandering around, go to that tavern to have a few drinks, and ask the owner of the hotel if there is a man in black going in for the night."

"Understood!" Hux, a knight-errant, had an advantage. He was a native of Le-Angulan.

There is such a custom in Brittany, if the serfs are not allowed or ordered by the lord, they seldom leave their villages too far, so after hundreds of years of accumulation, different customs have formed in different places Habits and some local language customs.

Hux, who was born in the Principality of Le-Angulan, can understand this best. A knight-errant who can speak some local dialects and understand a lot of inside information can easily integrate into the environment in the bar without being confronted. To other drinkers or serfs secretly repulsed, so that it is more convenient to detect intelligence.

Sure enough, with a few dialects and a few subconscious actions, the hotel owner immediately regarded Hux as a local: "Dear Sir Knight, what do you want to drink?"

"Have a glass of Porter beer." Hux took out some silver coins: "Remember, if you mix it with water, I will overturn your tavern! The lighthouse of Le-Angoulant will prove everything!"

"No, no, at least I don't dare to deceive Lord Knight, hahaha~" The giant lighthouse of Le-Angulan is a high-precision spectacle famous throughout the old world. Hearing this code word, the tavern owner immediately understood what was going on in front of him. The knight was not easy to be fooled, so he reached out and filled a glass of porter beer from the wooden barrel with a wooden beer glass. This beer has a black color and a lot of foam, but it actually tastes better than what Hux likes to drink in the territory. Much worse for the typical ale.

It's just that this porter is a specialty of Le-Angoulant.

The knight drank half of the glass in one sip, and then burped as if he had no wine: "Ugh~ the taste of home."

"Hehehe, Master Knight must be returning home after a long trip to watch the knight meeting?" The tavern owner's business is not good today, and he is also happy to talk to the knight: "Recently, the knight meeting will be held soon, and a lot of foreigners have come. , they are all going to watch the knight meeting, and just now, two Holy Grail knight masters appeared on the street!"

"Yeah, I saw it too." There was no smile on Hux's face, and he continued to ask: "A man in black robe came in here just now?"

"Ah? Oh." The tavern owner's face was stunned, and he said casually: "Yes, yes, a man in black robe came in here just now, and he also ordered two glasses of ale beer and some food ,Take away."

"Can you elaborate a little more?" Hux's face was full of seriousness.

"Master Knight, we are in business, and there are basic rules to follow in this business. I can only tell you so much, that is, he ordered two glasses of ale and left in a hurry. His accent didn't sound right. Like here or over there in the empire, um...that's all." The tavern owner said to Hux.

The stern Hux clenched his fists. He wanted to ask again, but the well-educated knight-errant in the empire knew that he couldn't ask any more questions, so he drank the beer in the wooden cup, and then He took out a gold crown and stuffed it into the hand of the tavern owner: "Then did you see which direction he went?"

At the same time, the ranger knight also put the long sword at his waist on the bar.

"..." The tavern owner hesitated for a while, put Jin Kelang into his sleeves calmly, then paid attention to the left and right, lay down, and said in a low voice next to Hux's ear: "I saw you outside. Is that black carriage one road away?"

Hux cast his gaze outside the tavern. Indeed, in an alley across the street, there was a black carriage.

"He went up." The tavern owner whispered, "Don't say I said it."

Hux nodded, and the ranger knight pushed the wooden cup, then got up.

At this time, Ryan and Emilia were pretending to be shopping, and the girl happily followed Ryan. The vendors were trying their best to sell their goods to the noble Holy Grail Knight, and their faces had strange fanaticism.

"20% off! Your Excellency the Holy Grail Knight, we have the best southern country fabric here, and it only costs five silver coins!"

"This is the apple nearby, Holy Grail Knight, it is the sweetest!"

"Pork, the best pork! Thirty-five copper coins per catty!"

Ryan and Emilia looked around and bought a lot of things. He felt that Emilia seemed very happy and wanted to buy things like a little bird, while Ryan was waiting for Hux's movement.

The ranger knight squeezed through the crowd and came to Ryan: "My baron, have you seen that carriage?"

The black carriage stayed in the alley, alone, without any response to the outside world.

"The man in black got into that carriage?"

"Well, yes, the tavern owner said that the black-robed man had a strange accent, not like that of the old world. He ordered two glasses of ale and some food, and then got into the black carriage." Hux whispered.

"...will ask for something to eat, which proves that the man in black robe is not a dead person or a vampire." Ryan thought for a while, but decided to take another look: "Don't act rashly, Emilia, I need your help."

"Yes!" Emilia took out many disguises from her body, and the three of them found a hidden place.

Ten minutes later.

A tall beggar with a face full of mud and a tattered robe staggered close to the carriage. He stretched out his withered hands, leaned against the front of the black carriage, and said to the curtain of the carriage: "Ah~ sir, sir, please do me a favor, I haven't eaten for three days, sir!"

"Yeah, please do me a favor, sir!" A few beggars on the side of the road also came up immediately, and several withered hands stretched out behind the curtain of the car.

The curtain of the carriage was lifted, and a staff burning with blue flames stretched out from the carriage, and pressed it on the head of the beggar.

The leading beggar seemed petrified by this terrible turn of events, and he immediately raised his hand: "God bless lady! Praise lady! I don't mean anything else, I just..."

"Get out!" The person in the carriage hesitated for a while, and then said in a low voice when he heard the beggar kept shouting the name of the fairy of the lake.

"Yes, yes! Praise lady! Praise lady! I'll get out, I'll get out." The beggar backed away pale, and rolled out of the street corner like a bereaved dog.

Seeing this, the black carriage started to move. It was strange that there was no driver to drive the carriage, but the pack horse moved on its own, walking towards the depths of the alley.

Inside the carriage, a young voice said, "Godfather, why didn't you kill that beggar?"

"No, haven't you noticed? Holy Grail Knights just appeared nearby. If we kill people randomly, we may attract those two Holy Grail Knights at any time! Now, it's important to complete your goal first. You must get winning!"
