Chapter 232, I Disagree!

It's not that Ryan has tried to recruit Estelle before. The half-elf is always very arrogant. He said that he must be a knight.

Ryan can't give the position of ranger knight casually. The half-elf's strength can't convince the crowd, and he hasn't made too much credit. It is easy to cause dissatisfaction among other knights, especially Estelle is still a long-range knight. In fact, the knights of Brittania all advocated that devout ladies believers must fight in close combat, and charging with spears and killing enemies with sharp swords is the best reward for ladies.

So when they couldn't reach an agreement, Ryan's recruitment of Estelle naturally fell through.

As a result, now Estelle and his half-elf partner came to ask for shelter, which made Ryan very interesting.

Why is it arrogant and then respectful?

"Can you talk in another place, my baron?" Estelle was a little embarrassed, obviously he could see the doubt and banter in Ryan's eyes.

"Okay, let's talk in the living room on the second floor, Olika? Prepare some delicious food, and don't let my friend be wronged." Ryan ordered the dark elf maid to prepare some drinks and food.

Five minutes later, in the living room on the second floor, the two half-elves Estelle and Daisy were sitting. Olika poured a glass of wine for each of them, and served white bread and baked bacon: "Please Slow use."

"Thank you!" Estelle felt that he had a good relationship with Ryan. He used a silver fork to pick up bacon and ate it with white bread. His friend Daisy also learned from him.

It started to rain again outside the castle, and the rain beat against the wooden windows, making a bang, and the icy air blew into the drawing room. The fireplace was burning brightly, and the castle felt like home under Ryan's serious management. , the baron himself sat on the throne, waiting for the answer from the half-elf.

"It's like this, Ryan." After being silent for a while, Estelle finally said with a wry smile: "You should also know that last winter, there was a war in the forest. A brutal war?"

"Yes, I know." Ryan expressed his understanding, and he spread his hands to indicate that he fully understood.

"Daiss and I both participated in this war, and we joined this war as solo rangers." Estelle was a little angry when he talked about this incident, and he angrily reversed his back The bow was untied and placed on the ground, expressing to Ryan that he had no malice.

Seeing this, Dais also took off the compound bow behind him. This compound bow is full of the power of sparks. Under the action of magic, it can shoot straight arrows, and it can also shoot star-fire explosive arrows that penetrate the trunk: "Hello! ,

Your Excellency Ryan, I am Daisy, a former ranger. I serve the Woodland Council and the woodland lords of the wood elves. As you can see, Estelle and I are good friends who grew up together. "

"Well, I understand, and then? Since you serve the Woodland Council, why did you come to my territory to seek shelter?" Ryan raised his palm, signaling Estelle and his little partner to continue.

"Just like Ryan, you know, whether it's wood elves or high elves, they don't have a good attitude towards us half-elves. They always think of us when they need us, and treat us as outsiders when they don't need us." , We are elves when we can serve the woodland lords, and we are humans when we cannot create value." Estelle sighed: "In this war, Dais and I fought desperately and killed a beast man hiss Shaman, originally according to the agreement between us and the Woodland Council, with such spoils, the Woodland Council should have a place for us."

"The Woodland Council must have taken back its promise." Ryan understood what the wood elves thought.

"Exactly." Ranger Daisy also sighed, because of the hood and face scarf, Ryan couldn't see his expression: "Ever since I worked for the Woodland Council as a ranger, I have been doing the hardest job, Do the dirtiest and most tiring job, I can stay in a tree for three days in order to assassinate a Beastman leader, I do all the dryads that the elves can't bear to do, but after I have made so many contributions After that, they didn't even treat me like a standard ranger."

"So after the Woodland Council broke its promise, Dais and I had a big fight with the elders of the Woodland Council." Estelle added: "It seems that we killed the Beastmen, for the sake of screaming shaman, His Majesty the King of the Forest and the Queen of the Forest didn't punish us, but we couldn't stay in the forest any longer, so I thought of you."

"It turns out that I'm still a backup." Ryan complained.

"Not to mention, I am a ranger at the peak of the elite, and I am already very close to the legend, just a little bit. Dais is even a legendary middle-level ranger. His bow and arrow throwing range can reach 300 Mi, I’m a little short, and it’s no problem to shoot through plate armor at 240 meters, you just need to arrange accommodation for us and give us better treatment than sergeants.” Estelle’s first time in Ryan In front of him, he said in a low voice: "We...have nowhere to go for the time being."

"Don't you have any savings?" Unexpectedly, Ryan did not agree. On the contrary, the baron continued to ask questions.

These half-elves are too proud and take themselves too seriously, what kind of irreplaceable characters do they really think they are? Lane is going to hit them today.

"This..." Estelle didn't expect things to turn out like this. He hesitated for a while, his face turned red and white, and then he lowered his head and told the truth: "We rarely use currency in the forest. It's all barter, so I don't have much savings. I still have a batch of goods in my hand, maybe I can sell some money, but...Dais and I don't want to live a life of wandering and on horseback anymore. We have had enough of life, so please, Ryan, my friend, you can take us in, if it is not possible... We can also share a house, and the salary of the sergeant is also acceptable."

"Yes, Lord Ryan, please, there are many people in the forest who don't like us, but if you take us in, even the most demanding woodland lord will not say anything." Daisy also pleaded.

The postures of the two half-elves were lowered enough, and Ryan finally nodded when he saw this: "Okay, you will be my sergeants from today onwards, and I will arrange a new two-story house for you to live in, Esther Er is in charge of helping me train the crossbowmen of the Zeon Archer Company, just teach them how to load, aim and pull the trigger. Mr. Daisy, just work harder and help me scout the Bergerac thieves in the Sharon Forest movement of the group."

"yes!"

Starting today, the two half-elves have made their home in the Barony of Jean. As Ryan expected, the wood elves did not say anything after knowing about it. On the contrary, the woodland lords Vieruodis and Daelina brought some food Condolences to the two half-elves: "Your Excellency Ryan, I'm sorry to trouble you, and you also understand that their position in the forest is very embarrassing and difficult to deal with."

"Is this how Essley treats his hero?" Ryan said unceremoniously.

"Your Excellency Ryan, Eslay is not what you imagined." Dailina tried to explain to Ryan: "Eisley is divided into twelve territories, and not all the territories are welcomed by the local tree elves. Not all territories are willing to trade with humans. In fact, even though the elves have settled in Athel Loren for thousands of years, many native dryads in the forest still do not welcome us. There are also differences in attitudes, with some thinking that the half-elves are our people, while others think that the half-elves are malevolent creatures and curses that should be destroyed."

This is also normal, Ryan has to admit that what Dalena said is also reasonable, just like the Duke of Montfort in Brittany who hates all creatures except humans, and there is also a noble like himself who is willing to hire dwarves. Wood elves can also have various opinions inside. Whether they are willing to accept half-elves is their own freedom, and it is also the freedom of wood elves.

"I see."

…………

The time has entered December, and sure enough, the king has taken action.

In the master room, Ryan, Suria, Katzenberg, Veronica, and Teresa were sitting. They were discussing the information they had just obtained, while Olika was standing behind Ryan.

Ryan sat on the main seat, and the female knight sat on his right hand very, very naturally. Today, Suria is wearing a pure white pearl split high-neck ribbed dress, showing her noble and elegant temperament, brilliant Her long golden curly hair hangs down from her shoulders, her long legs are covered by the skirt, and only a pair of white strappy high heels and pink insteps wrapped in gray stockings can be seen.

The female knight sat beside Ryan like this, and then said directly in a negotiating tone: "The king's order has been passed on by the envoy on the way to Jinling, and it will arrive in the afternoon."

Both Veronica and Katzenberg cast awe and respectful eyes on Suria. In fact, there are many gossips that indicate that Suria has become Ryan's wife is a certainty.

Of course, Katzenberg absolutely supports Marquis Suria. This butler is from Winford College. He has a strong Winford color on him. Of course, he would like to see his young lady marry Ryan.

And for Veronica, the witch is very clear that, judging from her background and Ryan's identity, it is absolutely impossible to become Ryan's wife, so the witch also respects Suria very much, because in During the relationship, Veronica was deeply impressed by the generous, gentle, and non-jealous attitude of the Marquis Suria. The witch can guarantee that she can continue to stay with Ryan's living space.

So Ryan found out very painfully that from his subordinate knights to his steward and tax collector, and even Veronica, it seems that they have been conquered by the female knight and acquiesced in the relationship between the two, only Teresa Before she figured out the situation, she tried to sit next to Ryan, but found that she was preempted by the female knight, and she still stared at Suria with annoyed and unwilling eyes.

Perhaps in the Barony of Jean, she is the only one who hasn't figured out what's going on.

"Ryan, even the father has to consider the consequences of refusing the king's order, but you must not go to the desert. The expeditionary force who went to the desert last time seemed to have evaporated from the world. No one has seen them again. Also, you and The trade of the wood elves, the dwarven blacksmith workshop you established are all based on your personal charm and prestige, the king has no right to let you hand over, this time, father and Lord Behemond and Lord Boderick They will all be on your side!" The female knight brought this news, and she was a little uneasy: "However, the effect of disobeying the king's order is still bad, you must be mentally prepared."

"It's okay, I have a way to deal with it." Ryan said calmly, it seemed that the baron was not in a hurry at all.

"Lian, what will you do?" Suria then asked, the female knight was very concerned about Ryan, and her tone was even a little anxious: "You are the lady's god-chosen champion, but there is nothing wrong with the king's order... ..."

"This problem is not difficult at all, Suria, when the king's special envoy comes this afternoon, you will meet him with me, and then you will know what I will do." Ryan nodded confidently, ending the topic .

In the afternoon, the envoy of the kingdom came, and the baron took all his subordinates to receive the king's order in the hall of the castle.

Ryan, the envoy who came to announce the king's decree, knew that he was the father of the late Marquis of Anci in the Chivalry War, Earl Bonova-Desmond of Gant.

The king's special envoy raised his chin, sprayed hot air from his nostrils, and said impatiently: "Baron Jean Malcador? Please come out and accept the king's appointment!"

Ryan stopped talking. He lowered his head, walked in front of Bonova, knelt down on one knee, and expressed his listening.

"Now order Baron Jean, Ryan Malcador to immediately stop trading activities with the wood elves, immediately stop the operation of the dwarf blacksmith workshop, expel these dwarf refugees, immediately stop the operation of the hospital, and accept it by the king's special envoy, stop immediately Exercising the power of the baron, set off for the capital immediately and wait for the next step!"

"There are other important orders. The king intends to form a Nicohala Desert Expeditionary Army. It is scheduled to depart on the 5th of next month. Ryan Malcador will become the general of the expeditionary army. Please Ryan Malcador get ready. Let's go now!"

Two consecutive king's orders were issued, one more urgent than the other, and the king ordered Ryan to leave immediately.

After reading the two volumes of the king's decree, Earl Bonova looked at Ryan with hatred. To this day, he still feels that his son's death was caused by Ryan, so he deliberately prolonged his voice, and then angrily shouted: "Lian! Do not take orders from the king!"

"I will not accept the king's order, my count." Ryan didn't take the two rolls of parchment at all, and the baron reached out and opened the two rolls of parchment, letting them fall to the ground.

The atmosphere in the castle hall froze. Both Ryan's subordinates and the female knight Suria who came to watch watched Ryan's actions in disbelief.

"What are you doing?!" Bonova pointed at Lane's nose, and he growled at the baron in disbelief: "Do you know what you are doing? You are rebelling! Even if you are the champion of the ladies Do you want to rebel if you do this?"

"Now, immediately, pick up the king's order for me, and then beg me, so I can pretend that this has not happened." Bonova sneered a few times: "If you don't want to be declared a rebel, hurry up, my baron, you Time is running out."

Lane laughed too, and instead stood up: "I'm not going to do it because someone disagrees."

"Someone disagrees? Who is it? Who disagrees?" Bonova sneered again and again, and the king's envoy confronted Baron Jean: "This is Brittany, who can oppose the king?"

At this time, a cold female voice came from the back of the castle hall, and a beautiful figure with endless sacred majesty slowly walked out of it.

"I disagree!"
