Chapter 99, Aftermath and Parting
PS. Two updates today! Ask for all kinds of tickets!
PS2. Many people say that the protagonist is weak, and that any star warrior recruit can beat him. That’s overthinking. It’s really a comparison of strength. It is certain that Zhonggu is not as good as 40K, but Zhonggu is not necessarily weaker. In terms of magic and power in many aspects, the Middle Ages is no worse than 40K. The powerful medieval heroes can also fight against Chaos Demons. There are not many battle leaders in 40K who can fight Chaos Demons, right?
The headquarters of the Aesthetic Society was seized.
Countless artists cried for this, and there were waves of complaints and willing crowds, but Schulz was unmoved, especially after it was proved that the Aesthetic Society is a chaotic sect. Let go of this matter.
The House of Lords urgently negotiated, and no one was willing to take the blame for this matter, and no one was willing to stand up for Weimeihui.
This organization that had prospered in Marienburg for decades has thus become history, and Edmund Huron, the House of Lords, became the only victim. The Earl colluded with the Aesthetic Society, took in the fallen hunters and murdered the vice president of the Demon Hunters Guild. There is a lot of evidence to confirm this fact. As a punishment, Earl Huron was banned from being a member of the House of Lords. The nobles fought for the vacant position, but this matter has nothing to do with Ryan.
The Church of the Sea God officially announced the details of the extermination of the Aestheticism Society. The story of Ryan and Veronica teaming up to eliminate the Khorne Champion Slayer spread across the mainland, and Ryan's name once again resounded across the mainland.
Then, there was another grand banquet.
There was a lot of wine and guests, and the Marienburg City Hall was so prosperous today.
The focus of the banquet was naturally Ryan. Nobles, businessmen, and celebrities from all walks of life congratulated Ryan, and Ryan responded one by one. He was drunk. At the end of the banquet, the Grand Duke of Marienburg Gently delivered a small bag to Ryan's hand: "You deserve it."
"Thank you~" Ryan opened the bag and looked lightly at the corner of his mouth, unable to stop smiling. The bag was full of god gold coins, at least hundreds of them.
This money is almost equal to the annual income of some young electors, which is a real windfall.
In comparison, the reward of 300 gold coins offered by the Justice Church was negligible.
"If you're not determined to want that painting, you can get more," Schultz joked with Lane, the Duke and the Primarch standing on a small balcony in the corner of the banquet.
"That painting is what the lady wants, and I should do something for her." Ryan spread his hands, saying that it was what his boss wanted.
"Lady of the Lake? Well, although His Majesty personally enlightened me, I still don't agree that she is a so-called god. She may be very powerful, but that's all." Schultz took a sip of wine, and was eligible to be inspired by the emperor. , the strength of this duke can be imagined.
The arrival of the Grand Duke of Marienburg was almost at the same time as Ryan, obviously he was also part of the Emperor's plan.
Ryan shrugged, he doesn't care about this issue, he is now the God of the Fairy in the Lake, and he took her benefits and did things for her. In this case, he is willing to serve the fairy of the lake.
Lion is fundamentally different from other Primarchs.
The Emperor, great Lord of Men, had twenty sons, and with Lion, twenty-one.
But all the sons were not born in the normal way, how the Primarch was made has been submerged in history, but they were all made by the Emperor using his own genes through the combination of warp technology and high technology embryos, they were born with more than a dozen genetic modification operations and enhancements.
But Ryan didn't, Ryan's body was already broken during the time travel, it was the emperor who used his supreme power to help him reshape his physical body, during this process Ryan almost turned back into a baby, he has not undergone genetic modification surgery ,
Nor is he enhanced by the power of the warp, in the sense that he grows more slowly, and his brothers are better endowed than he is.
However, the Emperor clearly preferred Lion, calling all Primarchs except Lion just a cold phrase: "a bunch of spoiled children".
Because Ryan is the purest, he is a human being, never mixed with other things.
"Father is father, he is not some god, he is just my father." Ryan said softly, looking at the cold night sky.
"Yes, for you, he is your father, but for us, he is a god, or he is greater than a god." Schultz didn't care to dwell on this topic. It can be seen that after receiving the emperor's revelation, He doesn't struggle with many problems: "If you need anything, just come to me, that's why I'm here."
"OK!"
As always, in the middle of the banquet, Ryan took Veronica and left.
As soon as the two got into the carriage, Veronica got into his arms and hugged him tightly.
"What's wrong?" Ryan felt that Veronica's emotions were a little unusual.
"The congressman has sent a recall order." Veronica leaned on the man's chest, and the woman's voice was angry and anxious: "I'm about to be recalled! It's still an emergency recall order."
"Recall?! At this time?" Ryan was surprised, and the man's voice was full of puzzlement: "How could it be?"
Ryan has been in contact with the Garland Council for many years, and Ryan is very aware of the rules of the Garland Council. Generally, after a task is completed, the Council of Female Spellcasters will give the members a period of rest before assigning the next task.
In about two weeks, it will be the Winter Veil Festival. How could the Garland Council urgently recall Veronica at this time?
"How do I know! Normally at this time, unless it's something special, there would be no urgent recall, but I just received a notice from the council, and Catherine has already gone to get the recall order!" Veronica pouted, and the woman He seemed aggrieved: "I still wanted to spend the Winter Veil Festival with you."
"Me too." Ryan also felt very strange: "Take a closer look when you get home."
Late at night, 53 Amber Avenue, Fort Marienne.
The carriage slowly stopped at the door of the small building, Ryan carried Veronica out of the carriage, and the two of them opened the door together.
Two maids came to greet her quickly, and Catherine took out a roll of parchment: "Member, this is your recall order."
Veronica snatched it from Catherine's hand, and then opened it for a second look to understand what was going on. The woman sighed and signaled Ryan to go upstairs to talk to her.
Thirty minutes later, on the second floor, the master bedroom.
Veronica has already changed into a long lace nightgown. The woman is sitting on a long sofa chair with a pair of beautiful legs in silk stockings. The previous beaded emerald hair has been completely removed, and the long black and brown hair hangs down. Her delicate shoulders and sweet face were full of grievances and anger.
"What's going on? Veronica, have you figured out the reason?" Ryan also changed into his pajamas, and the man saw the woman was unhappy, so he comforted him: "It's okay, you can decline, and leave after the Winter Veil Festival .”
"Hey~" Witch Jialan stretched out her hand and patted her side, and Ryan sat beside her when she saw this: "Lian, you don't understand, this is an emergency recall order for Jialan, all Jialan who saw this recall order Witch Lan must report back to the council immediately, and judging from the time, this emergency recall order was issued as soon as our task was completed."
"Issue it immediately?" Ryan held Veronica in his arms and checked the emergency recall order.
"Obviously, someone in the council doesn't want me to stay outside, or...to stay by your side." Veronica sneered, and the woman kissed the man lightly on the face: "My existence does not Not in line with what some people think, so I have to go, look, who signed this emergency recall."
Ryan took a closer look at the recall order, and sure enough, he saw the signer: Aurora Trovik.
"Elder Aurora? She called you back? Wait...you mean?" Ryan is not a fool, he quickly understood what Veronica meant.
In the bedroom, a bright floor-to-ceiling magic lamp illuminates the figures of two people on the sofa.
"Obviously she doesn't want to see me by your side. For her, Ryan Malcador is a friend of the Garland Council, the godson of the Duke of Griffin with unlimited potential, and a legendary mid-level player under the age of twenty-five. The strong, powerful foreign aid, and Teresa Trovik, is her daughter." Veronica stretched out her small hand and intertwined with the man: "And I, Veronica Bernadotte , I have some kind of relationship with Ryan, and most importantly, I am the apprentice of Speaker Margarita."
Lane got it, got it all.
On the surface, two female spellcasters, Veronica and Teresa, are vying for Ryan as a high-quality partner, but hidden behind this is the fierce factional struggle within the Garland Council. Speaker Margarita and Oro Pull the faction battle among the elders.
It had affected Teresa, it had affected him, and now it had affected Veronica.
After a long silence, Ryan's face changed slightly, he tightened the woman in his arms, and his tone became a little indifferent: "So, things have become like this?"
"Yes, things have turned into this. I will leave tomorrow morning to go back to the Garland Council. As long as I want to continue to be my Garland Councilor, I must accept the Council's emergency recall order, even if it is unreasonable, but... The rules are the rules." Veronica reached out and brushed the man's handsome face: "After a short meeting, we will part again."
"Yeah, we are going to separate again. By the way, this is your money. This money is enough for you to build a wizard tower." Ryan took out a bag with fifty god gold coins in it: "Remember our Is it a promise? I promised you that you will have a wizard tower of your own."
"Sure enough, although I don't know why you can gain the trust of Lord Schultz so easily, and I don't know why Lord Schultz gave you so much money, but I know that this is my partner, a A great man... is also my man." Veronica gently stretched out her hand and pushed away the money bag in Ryan's hand: "You keep it first."
"You don't want money? It's not like you." A smile flashed in Ryan's eyes.
"Some things are more important than money, and some things are more important than strength. This is what you taught me, Ryan. I often think that without you, maybe I would have fallen." Veronica sighed softly Witch Jialan continued, "It's not that I don't want the money. What I mean is that the money will be saved with you first. After you become the lord, I will directly build the wizard tower in your territory!"
"If my predictions are correct, you will soon have your own territory, right?" Veronica's eyes flickered with cunning: "My great knight?"
"If there are no accidents, there will be news after the Grass Festival." Ryan didn't say everything, but he still answered Veronica's question from the side.
He is so powerful now, there is no doubt that whether it is Britannia, the Empire, or the Nord Kingdom, he will be invited to be the lord, because this world needs a strong man, and his current strength is comparable to many knights. head of the team.
Since he is the chosen champion of Fairy in the Lake, his choice is self-evident.
"Lane~"
"Ok?"
"Time is running out, let's start now, I want to take the feeling you gave me and go back to Jialan."
"Okay, let's get started!"
... (abbreviated below) ...
Early the next morning, Ryan carried Veronica, who was unable to walk, out of the room. The little apprentice Catherine had already packed her things into a big box, and looked at the three-story luxury house she lived in with a look of reluctance. .
"You really don't want me to send it?" Ryan said with a half-smile as he carried Veronica into the carriage.
"No need." Veronica was sitting on the carriage, and the witch's beautiful almond eyes looked straight at him, filled with reluctance: "Every time we separate, it always makes me feel more uncomfortable, it shouldn't have become like this. "
"The separation is for a better reunion. Go back to Jialan, where you can show your talents." Ryan said softly, holding Veronica's little hand.
"It used to be, but now I'm not sure... goodbye, honey." Veronica finally gave Ryan a soft kiss on the mouth, then turned her head away from him.
"Don't be sad, Veronica, this is a gift from me, wearing it can protect you from corruption." Ryan put a silver pendant on Veronica's hand: "Goodbye. "
The witch accepted the pendant, and kept her gaze out of the window, never looking at Ryan again, because she didn't want to lose her composure in front of her apprentice.
After speaking, he got off the carriage, Ryan stood at the door of his house, watched the carriage disappear at the end of the road, sighed, then turned and returned to his home.
There was unstoppable anger in his heart.
This anger was not aimed at Veronica's departure, because Ryan knew that the relationship between him and Veronica was not a lover relationship in the true sense, they were more like partners and bed partners with deep affection, the two Individuals take what they need from each other, this woman will not and cannot stay by his side for a long time now, she is like a proud bird, she has her own things to do.
And both Ryan and Veronica understand one thing. Veronica has no chance to become Ryan's wife. This is determined by her status as a witch, and she knows it very well.
What Ryan was really angry about was the unreliability of the Jialan Council. He didn't expect that Jialan, one of the three major spellcaster associations in the mainland, had such serious internal struggles that he couldn't get a stable teammate at all.
Veronica was his partner, but Garland sent Teresa to partner with him.
There was a tacit understanding with Teresa just after they partnered, and Jialan recalled Teresa and replaced it with Veronica.
The mission had just ended, and Jialan immediately called Veronica back.
Are repeated recalls an emergency? No, it was all due to the struggle between the speaker and the elders.
He felt that he needed to cooperate with another spellcaster organization.
After opening the door, Ryan didn't look up, he just noticed a figure walking towards him out of the corner of his eye, so he complained while thinking: "In just a few days, there are only two of us left in this family."
He was answered by a mature and elegant voice.
"And what does my champion want to do?"
