Chapter 221, Returning to the Barony
Morgiana went on to say: "At that moment, a huge greenskin army invaded the Earl of Garrament and went on a rampage. Callard and his brother faced the first battle of their lives. They rode War horse, raise your lance, and fight with countless knights to defend your territory."
"It must have been a tough battle." Ryan could imagine the difficulty of the battle.
"The surrounding knights died one after another, but Callard and his younger brother persisted. They drove back the vanguard of the greenskins back to the forest, but the young knights soon realized that what they eliminated was only the greenskin army. A small part, when the greenskin army attacked again, the knights who were exhausted from the long battle and suffered heavy casualties were routed, and they had to defend the castle to the death." Mogiana continued, watching the chatting in the courtyard. Siblings, sigh softly.
"After defending for two days, support finally arrived. The Knight Commander of the Holy Grail Knights Jules led the knights of the kingdom to come to support. The appearance of Jules turned the tide of the battle. He brought the glorious chivalry and the spirit of the lake. The wrath of the fairies, the army of greenskins was defeated, and Callad was reunited with his sister."
Ryan nodded again and again: "At this time, Ms. Annala must have become an excellent prophet of the lake god. Since she has come out to fight with His Excellency Ules, then she should already belong to Ules."
"Yes, Anara and Karard reunited on the battlefield, and the army of knights finally defeated the army of greenskins. But when Karard returned to the castle, he received the news that his father and stepmother were poisoned. After investigation, the person who offered the poisoned wine was his fiancée Elizabeth. Elizabeth told Callard that she had been worried that Callard's father and stepmother would be unfavorable to him and would take away his first inheritance, so for their love And happiness in the future, Elizabeth first murdered his father and stepmother with poisoned wine." Mogiana's eyes contained anger.
"What a sad and common situation. I saw it a lot when I was in Nord and the Empire." Ryan sighed.
"After Bohemond's ruling, Callard was declared innocent, but he felt very painful about this situation. Facing his beloved fiancée, he couldn't make up his mind to kill him. He expelled Elizabeth from the His brother left him, sworn never to forgive his fiancée for her violence, and in grief and anguish he was compelled to take his father's title as Earl of Garrament."
"After becoming the earl, Calad didn't want to fulfill his duties as a lord. He was often absent from banquets, hunting, competitions, and visits between nobles. He preferred to follow Ulles and fight everywhere as an ordinary knight of the kingdom." Mo Jaina took Ryan's arm: "Sorrow and pain brought Karad strength, and he is already a legendary knight of the kingdom."
"Suffering and setbacks always make us stronger." Ryan broke away calmly, pretending to sigh.
After many days of searching for the Archbishop of the Goddess of Mercy, there was still no result.
Morgiana reluctantly stopped the operation. She knew in her heart that the Archbishop, the Goddess of Mercy, had most likely been killed, and her attempts to search for Matthew Budd did not yield any results, and even Brittany headed by Richard did not get any results. With the support of the sub-royal family, the king did not agree to issue the arrest warrant. During the negotiation with Morgiana, Richard believed that Matthew Budd was the runner-up of the knight meeting anyway, and he would not sign the king's order without conclusive evidence.
At the end of April, Ryan and Morgiana finally set foot on their way home. The Witch of the Lake Goddess will return to her tower of the Goddess of the Lake behind the Fairy Cathedral in the Principality of Carcassonne, and Ryan will return to his territory.
Karard was with them. After completing the mission, Jules continued to be stationed in the Korona branch of the Knights of the Holy Grail. Leader of the branch.
In the prosperous and lush wilderness of Brittania, Morgiana sat sideways on the body of the unicorn "Sylphane", and Ryan rode beside her on horseback, and Calade was alone. position.
"The Duke of Montfort filed an accusation against you. He thought that your taking in dwarves and elves was an act that offended the kingdom's history and traditions. He made representations to the king and asked the king to punish you. This proposal was approved by Palaon The recognition of the Duke and the Duke of Lyonnaise." Morgiana said to Ryan.
"The reason is very simple. My workshop produces a large number of weapons and equipment made by dwarves, as well as the trading post of wood elves. They are nothing more than jealous and affect their income, so they want to sanction me." Ryan There is no good face: "The Duke of Palaon has always wanted to find wood elves to trade in a learned way, but he suffered heavy losses. Montfort has the best craftsmen in Britannia, but the best craftsmen are more skilled than others. I can’t compare to the dwarves’ precision technology, and since they can’t compare to me in terms of quality, they want to use this method to sanction me, which is normal.”
"Jealousness prevents them from getting close to the Holy Grail." Mogiana nodded: "I have already ordered them not to mention this matter again. If they do something secretly, Ryan, you can come to me directly."
"It's not fair, Lord Ryan." Callard said indignantly: "It's always like this now. The lords are suspicious of each other because of their interests. The knights will do everything to squeeze the serfs. I also know that you can impress the wood elves for trade. From what I heard, this is your glory, not theirs."
"Appropriate interests are necessary, Lord Karard." Who knew that Ryan shook his head slightly: "Knights need horses and a complete set of knight equipment to go to the battlefield. Lords need communication and enough military pay. Serfs need Eat a full stomach, at least you won’t starve to death. We need to find a balance between interests and beliefs. Blindly pursuing only virtue is not a qualified lord. Blindly pursuing only interests will keep you away from the Holy Grail and the teachings of ladies. "
"Thank you, Lord Ryan, your words have given me something." Callard was stunned for a while, and he suddenly felt something wrong: "I always feel that hunting, various banquets and competitions are a waste of manpower and material resources. There is too much hypocrisy in the communication between people, but the words of Lord Ryan have taught me."
"This is life, Lord Karard, how to find a balance between governing the territory and tempering ourselves is also the test given to us by the lady. Even the Holy Grail Knights have their own lives. We cannot fill our stomachs by drinking water. The armor can be repaired by sitting and praying." Ryan said with a smile: "Don't think that the so-called Holy Grail Road can only be accomplished by piety and bravery, wisdom and flexibility are also indispensable parts."
In fact, ordinary Holy Grail knights eat 35 times more than ordinary people. These animals eat a lot without getting tired. Knights need a lot of meat, especially Holy Grail knights.
"Taught, Lord Ryan." Callard said admiringly, the kingdom knight in his thirties looked like a junior in front of the twenty-six-year-old Ryan.
Morgiana nodded in satisfaction, her blue eyes staring at Ryan for a long time, this is the ideal lady champion in her mind.
Since there are only three people, they move forward very fast. In this world full of dangers, the lake god witch in the sanctuary plus two legendary knights can indeed ensure that most situations are safe and sound. Ryan was a little wary at first , but nothing happened along the way.
After arriving in the Bastogne Territory, Karard said goodbye to the two people. He had been away from his territory for several months. Even if he didn't want to be a lord, Karard knew that he had to go back to the territory to have a look. .
After only Ryan and Morgiana were left, the speed of the two became faster. Ryan only needed to rest for four or five hours a day. Sylphine the unicorn also hardly gets tired.
Two days later, Ryan's territory arrived.
Since he became Baron Jean, the territory has undergone earth-shaking changes. Tall canals lead the river water into the farmland on the field, and a large number of buildings have been built. The already very rich land has become more densely populated. You can see the thick cooking smoke rising from the village, a large number of brand new farmlands have been reclaimed, and already have owners, many serfs are happily plowing the land, and a team of patrol soldiers is carrying Ryan away.
The vicinity of the village is in full swing. The village, which originally only had twenty or thirty low wooden houses, is being expanded. Caravans are entering and leaving his territory, and the wood elves are leaving with carts of ore and dwarf-produced armaments. .
"It's really a prosperous territory." Mogiana sighed: "It's completely different from what I saw in Carcassonne. In Carcassonne, the serfs are always weak, and the lords even have to stipulate in detail how to go to the ditch. How many centimeters must be dug deep, otherwise the serfs will always cut corners."
"I don't know who is in charge after I leave. It may be my brother or Veronica." Ryan thought for a while. Before he left, he arranged for Veronica to supervise behind him. Patton is in charge of tax collection, Katzenberg is in charge of internal affairs, and Angron is in charge of military affairs, but Angron is capable of ordering Veronica.
"It's okay, I think we will find out soon." Ryan immediately gave up thinking, he didn't need to be entangled in this kind of matter: "Her Highness Morgiana, are you in a hurry to go back? How about staying in my castle tonight Rest inside, I think it is necessary to check the seal again."
A flush flashed across Morgiana's face, and she subconsciously reached out and pressed her belly.
The seal left by Ryan seemed to be heating up, very hot.
It might be time to check it out, but the Lake God Witch didn't refuse: "I see."
A wild hissing in the sky caught the attention of two people.
"It's the Hippogryph!" Morgiana held the reins, and the Lake God Witch shouted coquettishly, and a sharp sword appeared in her hand instantly.
"Why is there a hippogryph here?" Ryan yelled strangely, he raised his warhammer, and at the same time immediately appease the frightened pure-blood elf warhorse Putao: "咴咴!"
The Hippogryph whizzed past the two people, gliding in a large circle above the sky, and then landed in front of the two people. It neighed and spread its wings, showing off its might.
Then a bald man wearing a huge bearskin cloak and a large full plate armor jumped off the hippogryph: "Hey, brother, are you back?"
"Brother?!" Ryan stared dumbfounded at Angron's appearance in front of him. He quickly signaled Morgiana not to do anything, and the lake goddess put down her long sword upon seeing this.
"Ha, brother, let me introduce you. This is my new mount." Angron laughed loudly. He took out a piece of raw meat from his waist and fed it to the hippogryph. The hippogryph neighed and took a bite of the raw meat. swallow.
Ryan: "???"
Angron touched the hippogryph's head with his hand, and said to Ryan proudly: "It is said that many lords want a hippogryph as a mount, so I want to get one too. It took me five days to tame one, and now I am also a Hippogryph knight, hahahaha it is so easy."
Ryan: "??????"
The third update, the ticket dies
