Chapter 220, Callard Gallament
This is the second update today, and the third update is expected to be in the evening.
"I'm sorry, Godfather." Matthew Bud's face was very bad, and he bowed to apologize.
The withered hand stretched out from the black robe and pointed at Matthew Bard. The ring on his hand was shining. The owner of the hand signaled Matthew Bard not to do this. Polite: "It's okay, my godson, things don't always go where we want them to go, this failure just adds more experience to you, and it turns out that my previous plan wasn't perfect. "
Among the pale ripples, the fourth book of Nagash appeared next to Akhan. The book was opened, and the pages were turned page by page. With all kinds of magic left by him, Akhan felt the surging power in the book, and then put the book away: "Another book has returned to its original owner, ah, the return of our lord is getting closer One step, the quality of this sacrifice is very good, and it will enhance the power of our Lord."
Matthew Bud walked to Akhan's side, and the young knight-errant showed his respect again, before he asked, "Then what should I do next?"
"You may have exposed it, my godson. In order to seize the fourth volume, we may still be a little anxious." Akhan leaned on his staff, and he motioned Matthew Bard to look to the other side of the cave.
It was a map of Britannia. Britannia faced the sea in the north, across the sea from the wasteland in the north, the ocean in the east, and the empire in the west through the gray mountains.
"I hid it well, so I shouldn't have exposed it, godfather, but today Fiona doubted me." Matthew Bard told Akhan about his experience today.
The Lich King's body has long decayed, he can no longer make any expressions, the only fluctuating voice is his voice: "Oh, my godson, Matthew Bard, this is a dangerous signal, Krona, you can no longer Wait, let's go to Mousilon together."
"Why? Godfather? I've obviously reassured Fiona, and I've gained her trust!" Matthew Bud said puzzledly, and he walked up to Arkhan: "Besides her, there are Who could suspect me?"
"There are too many people, my godson." Akhan's voice was still so elegant: "The identity we prepared for you is indeed perfect, but it is a false identity after all. Yes, there are many conflicts among the dukes of this country. The new Duke of Connet, Lawn, is not yet fully aware of the situation in his territory, but lies will always be exposed one day."
"Furthermore, even under such circumstances, someone may still guess your true identity, my godson, don't take the knights for fools, most of the knights in this country suffer from chivalry, but wise men There are too." Akhan shook his head again and again: "There are some things that you are too deeply involved in,
It is indeed a shortcut to make friends with that little girl and go to Belaron, but this will leave traces. I originally wanted you to win the championship of the Knights Conference. In this way, you will be promoted to a knight of the kingdom and will be rewarded at the same time. Under such an aura, your previous series of suspicious actions will be forgotten or temporarily forgotten. "
"One runner-up is not enough, my godson." Akhan shook his head again and again: "I didn't think of this, you are still careless, my godson."
Fury and embarrassment appeared on Matthew Bud's face, his face was blue, and his excitement could be felt even in the dark cave.
After a long time, the young knight-errant sighed, "It was my mistake, Godfather."
"I don't blame you for this matter, my godson. My original plan also went wrong. I originally planned to consume the power of the Holy Grail Knights through the attack of the Nurgle army. Defeating like that, and then I didn't expect that after the Bichi's God's Choice champion was injured, the Lake God Witch would hardly leave the Holy Grail Cathedral, and we had no chance to do it." Akhan continued to analyze: "The best chance is In the few days after the Knights Conference ended, if you succeeded in winning the championship, while the whole city was obsessed with the aftermath of the Knights Conference, you made a humble request of the champion to Morgiana and called her out, we at least There is a 70% chance of taking her down."
"But there is no need to worry now. The most important thing we need is time. If this plan fails, we need the power of the Red Duke."
"Retreat, wait until dawn, we will leave this place and go to Mousilon."
"yes!"
Another ten days or so passed, and by mid-April, Ryan's injury had been declared healed.
He still lives in the Holy Grail Cathedral. As the hero of the kingdom and the one who defeated Nurgle, he has become the focus of the serfs and knights. His existence is admired by everyone, and the outside world is also jealous of him.
Under the pressure of Morgiana, Richard had to come forward again to award Ryan. A first-class Grand Cross was hung on Ryan's chest, in stark contrast to the previous second-class Iris Medal. At the age of twenty-six, he has won two high-level medals from the kingdom in a row. Ryan really has the capital to be proud.
He has already experienced the process of awarding honors, so I won't repeat it here. Anyway, Ryan can feel Richard's helplessness and dislike for him.
In the afternoon after the award was over, Ryan followed behind Morgiana with his hands behind his back. Emilia had already returned to Wenford with Suria. Ryan simply ordered his two ranger knights, Lopes and Hux also took people back to the territory, reported to Angron, and stayed alone in Korona.
Even if Ryan recovered, Morgiana did not move out of his room, but just shared a bed with him to rest.
"Is there no news about the Archbishop of the Goddess of Mercy?" Ryan said to Morgiana.
"No." Mogiana shook her head again and again, and the voice of the Lake God Witch was a little shaken: "We searched the entire Korona and the surrounding villages, and she seemed to have disappeared, no one saw him again, mercy The Goddess Church is already discussing the candidate for a new archbishop."
"Matthew Bud is also missing." Ryan frowned.
Just after the windmill incident that day, when the lake gods and prophets visited Matthew Bud's residence the next day, they learned from the owner that the knight had a quarrel with the eldest lady of the Duke of Berleon's family, and then became angry. And run away.
There seems to be something wrong with this incident, but it seems that there is nothing wrong. The prophet of the lake god found witnesses and confirmed that the couple had indeed had a big fight. Fiona yelled that you get out, I Not wanting to see you again, Matthew Bud was irritated, he left a note, and then left Korona that day.
"My lord, this seems like a coincidence again, but I am almost sure that even if Matthew Bud is not the initiator, at least he is an important role in it." Ryan was not surprised by this result, and he continued to talk to Morgiana discussed: "If there are no accidents, the next time we see him will be on the battlefield."
"I would also like to thank your Marquis Suria. If she hadn't defeated Matthew Bard, we would have faced the champion of the Knights Conference. The knight who was awarded the crown by myself is actually a traitor!" Mogiana Sighing softly, she motioned Ryan to get closer: "Don't be so far away from me, lady champion, come closer."
"I think this is good." Ryan shook his head. The witch of the lake has great power and influence, and her attitude is always cold. It would be better if there were no outsiders in the suite of the Holy Grail Cathedral. Forget it outside.
"" Morgiana frowned, she stopped straight away, and signaled Ryan to come over: "Come here, lady champion, your acquaintance is here today."
"Acquaintance?" Ryan then approached, walking side by side with Morgiana.
"Yes, your acquaintance." Mogiana smiled slightly: "When he received the empire's request for help, it was he who led the knight army to Marienburg to support you."
"Oh! It's Your Excellency Jules!" Ryan smiled, and he nodded again and again: "So it's him!"
"Exactly, Yules was sent by me to the Gray Mountains to wipe out some greenskin remnants, and now he has returned to his mission." The look on Morgiana's face became better.
Walking along the courtyard and through the corridor, in the lobby of the Holy Grail Cathedral, the Holy Grail knight Jules and another kingdom knight whom Ryan did not recognize were waiting for the reception of the Lake God Witch. When Morgiana appeared, Jules and the kingdom knight Salute to Morgiana together: "My Highness."
Ulles may be the most powerful Grail Knight in the entire kingdom. He once killed two Chaos Giants by himself, destroyed hordes of Beastmen by himself, and he once killed dragons in battle. , eliminated a lurking chaotic champion in the Principality of Carcassonne, and beheaded the necromancer in the Awl Swamp.
The famous Holy Grail Knight of the kingdom is tall, with shining eyes, wearing a chain mail made of mithril and a breastplate full of various artistic patterns on the outside, and he is wearing a sparkling A blue cloak, a golden Holy Grail Knight Commander badge hangs on his chest, his body is covered with countless coats of arms symbolizing piety, holy beads, pendants, and portraits of fairies in the lake, and on the top of the helmet is a golden giant Dragon statue.
Ryan could feel that Ules' strength was already very close to the sanctuary, and his aura was very strong, like the sun, warming his compatriots and burning his enemies.
"Hello, Your Excellency Ules, we haven't seen each other for a long time since the Battle of Collesen." Ryan offered to extend his hand to Ules.
"Hehehe, Your Excellency Ryan is really amazing. I am proud of the series of great deeds that His Excellency Ryan has accomplished since he came here. I am very proud to be able to fight side by side with the lady's God's Choice champion." Ules said very Respectfully said: "Let us eradicate evil together in the name of ladies!"
Looking at the communication between Ryan and Ules, Morgiana looked much warmer on her face, and she said calmly: "It's a glorious moment, let us honor the two heroes of the kingdom!"
"Glory!" Everyone in the Holy Grail Cathedral shouted together.
The knight of the kingdom who looked about 30 years old behind Ules also came up, and he said hello to Ryan: "Hello, Your Highness Morgiana, Your Excellency Ryan, I am Karad, Karadgara Mentor, from Bastogne."
"I've heard of your name, Karad." Morgiana smiled and nodded: "Your feats include killing trolls and defeating the invasion of the Greenskin tribe. In the name of the lady, you are an excellent knight."
"It's a great honor!" Callard's face is thin but full of strength. He has a pair of blue eyes and long black hair. He wears a golden headband on his head and the family crest of a red, blue and white dragon on his body. Zhang, he respectfully saluted Morgiana and Ryan: "May every lake of the lady be extremely clear."
Jules was ordered to go to the Gray Mountains to wipe out a greenskin tribe that frequently harassed Bastogne. The fact is that he lived up to expectations. The Holy Grail Knight and Karard rode their horses to kill the entire greenskin tribe. He directly used his own sword "Blade of Eternity" to decapitate the green-skinned boss, and then killed him all the way out.
It is quite a violent, simple, but effective method, the premise is to have absolute confidence in one's own strength.
Jules stayed with Callard to take communion, and Morgiana entertained him and Callad with the glory of the nymphs of the lake, and then blessed them with a divine spell.
Ryan did not participate in this dinner, which belonged to the honor of Jules and Callard, he was unwilling to participate, and it seemed nothing unusual to him to have dinner with Morgiana
It's just that when he went out for a circle and came back, he found that Jules had left, but Callard was still there.
The knight of the Kingdom was talking to a very beautiful Lake God Prophet in the courtyard of the cathedral. The blond-haired and blue-eyed Lake God Prophet was holding Karad's hand and caressing his face. affection.
"A long-lost lover?" Ryan came to Morgiana's side and asked curiously.
"Brother and sister reunited after a long absence." Mogiana looked through the glass window of the church: "That is Karad's sister, named Anna La, she is an excellent prophet of the lake god under my command, and also the leader of Jules. of."
"Understood, it is precisely for this reason that Mr. Callard can follow His Excellency Jules?" Ryan nodded again and again. Most of the Holy Grail knights have a wife and a few female courtiers if they have a territory. Many of them The Holy Grail Knight is the Prophet of the Lake God, and the Prophet of the Lake God does not prohibit marriage. If necessary, the Lake God Witch will also preside over the work in this area. The noble blood of the Holy Grail Knight must be continued.
"It's Your Excellency Callard, Ryan, he is the Earl of Garrament of the Duchy of Bastogne." Morgiana picked up the Holy Grail of the potion, her tone was a little erratic, as if she was recalling something: "I'm interested to hear Listen to Callard's story, Lane?"
"certainly."
"Kalad is the second child of the Earl of Garrament. His sister was taken away by the previous Lake God Witch at a young age due to her excellent magical talent. He was considered dead when he was born. But he survived tenaciously and gradually grew into an excellent knight."
"Kalad's mother passed away very early, and within a few years, Earl Garrament remarried and gave birth to another son. Due to the difference in blood, Karard's childhood was not happy, and his stepmother did not treat him well. Do not care."
"And just when Callard grew into a knight-errant, a large greenskin tribe's attack changed his fate forever."
Callard came on, a very important figure.
