Proof of the Sun King

In late April, along the mountain road behind the Baron de Jean, a group of knights were riding their horses. . .

Surya did not come alone. The two kingdom knights led a number of ranger knights to protect the Duke's daughter. The internal security of Britannia, especially the vicinity of the Principality of Winford, was not very good. Although the 'female' knights Even those with high-ranking elites cannot come alone.

The kingdom knight sent by the duke to protect his 'daughter' is naturally a good player. These two kingdom knights have the strength of the peak of 'elite', and they also have their own titles. One is called Bull Knight Baptiste, the other They are called Buck Knight Gaston. They are all over thirty years old. They are dressed in 'fine' knight plate armor, with a long sword hanging from their waist and a shield on the rear 'legs' of their horses. They carefully watch the road on both sides of the road. movement.

Only the Holy Grail Knight rode his horse indifferently and chatted with the Duke's daughter: "So, the law and order in Wenford is not as good as you think?"

"Yes, Your Excellency Ryan, we spend a lot of 'energy' in clearing up bandits every year." The 'female' knight rode on her pure-blooded 'spirit' spirit horse and explained to the baron seriously: "A lot of The fortresses of robbers are built on the frontiers of the principalities, or hidden in the forests, and we have also lost many knights to destroy them."

"No reason?" Ryan groaned: "Can't the knights of the duchy be able to solve this threat?"

As soon as this sentence came out, many of the young knights in the knight team had an uneasy look on their faces, but since the person in front of them was the Holy Grail Knight, they couldn't say anything, at most muttered a few words: "It's not that we don't work hard. , all the thieves are too cunning."

The bull knight Baptiste had a beautiful mustache and shaved a big bald head. Hearing Lane say this, the knight said a little embarrassedly: "Please, Your Excellency Lane, the bandits are very cunning. They often attack the village. The knights would gather, and they would hide in the depths of the mountains, or the forests, and hide in those fortresses."

"Then you won't attack the city?" Ryan then asked, not wanting to save face for these knights at all.

The virtues of the Holy Grail Knights cannot be questioned, and the knights present were a little ashamed. Seeing this, Suria took the initiative to take over the words: "That's it, Your Excellency Ryan, the siege equipment is cumbersome and difficult to carry into the depths of the forest or mountains, cunning. The robbers never confront us, and it is very difficult for us to conquer those fortresses when they are defending them."

"Well~" Ryan 'touched' his chin, but he really thought about this question.

Brittany, the kingdom of knights, the land of knights, has the most powerful heavy cavalry in the whole old world.

The knights' group charge is indeed powerful in the field, but this has advantages and disadvantages. In the case of raising the knights with all the power of the country, the lack of powerful siege weapons and powerful long-range troops in the knight kingdom is one of its disadvantages. This country has no artillery, when When bandits built their castles in those deep forests or in the interior of rugged mountains, heavy catapults, unlike artillery, could not be transported into them, and knights had to dismount to fight.

Therefore, the knights felt a little helpless towards these bandits. They could only passively defend. The cost of recruiting a large army was too expensive, and it was not an option for the Duke to consider.

Thinking of this, Ryan somewhat understands why the 'female' knight found himself.

"Miss Sulia wants me to help His Excellency the Duke solve this problem?" Ryan was still smiling, and he looked calm.

"Yes, we want to ask Mr. Lane to help us, otherwise the harassment of these bandits will cause a lot of losses to the principality every year, people will be displaced, caravans will be robbed and killed, and cultivated farmland will be destroyed." The 'female' knight stretched out her hand A strand of blond hair was pulled behind her ears, her figure was like a blooming iris 'flower', and her face was full of sincerity and seriousness: "I hope Your Excellency Ryan can lend a helping hand to us, this is my personal request."

Having said this, Ryan did not hesitate at all, and he immediately agreed: "No problem, I agreed, Miss Surya and Yuri are my friends, and the Aintree family is my friend of Ryan Macado. It has helped me a lot along the way, and I have no reason not to agree."

"That's great, thank you very much." Suria's delicate face burst into a smile.

Ryan also smiled kindly, in response.

This eldest lady is gentle and talkative. She and the family behind her have repeatedly shown goodwill. Ryan has no reason to refuse. The Aintree family has helped him all the way from Marienburg to Brittany. a lot of.

The virtue of chivalry does not allow him to turn a blind eye to it, and only willing to accept the benefits and not to pay is a shameless person.

Entering the interior of the Principality of Winford, the air is filled with sweet aromas, this principality is surrounded by the Oracle Mountains, where the Chinon River originates from the depths of the mountains, the land here is fertile and wild, the climate here is cold in winter and cool in summer, and it has the best wines of the old world. Estates and olive oil manufacturing workshops.

Looking up, in the blue sky, only the sun is warming the earth, the hard-working serfs are ploughing, and the stone-paved roads are full of tourists, caravans and villagers.

"What a land full of vigor and vitality!" Ryan praised: "This is a paradise on earth."

Hearing the praise of the Holy Grail Knight, the ranger knights and the two kingdom knights felt honored, and the stag knight Gaston immediately responded loudly: "Exactly, Lord Ryan, whenever I see this I am willing to devote my life to this land, and when I go out to fight, Lady and Winford are the firmest beliefs in my heart."

Along the broad road, the knights headed towards Helenhilde, the capital of the Duchy of Winford.

This is a huge city like a 'flower' garden, built in the middle of a river valley. The clear water of the Chinon River flows through the fields next to the city. "The family coat of arms, the golden 'color' crown of the Duke is located on the coat of arms, telling that ancient history.

The houses in the city are built of bricks and stones, with white walls and red roofs. The streets are very lively, people come and go, many trees are planted in the streets, and there are fresh ‘flowers’ and shades everywhere.

The Duke's castle is located deep in the city and backed by the mountains. The towering city walls and spire towers form the Duke of Winford's giant castle. This huge castle has three floors inside and outside, showing a conical rise with a circumference of a thousand meters and is composed of towering towers. Made of 'granite' granite stone, it is a symbol of the wealth and power of the Duke.

The castle is close to the Chinon River, with a square main fort on both sides, surrounded by six huge conical turrets on both sides. The first Duke of Winford, who followed Arthur to fight in all directions, returned to the world.

On the road, in the 'flower' bushes, in the square, 'minds' and acrobats are performing various shows, the knights pass through the main 'gate' of the castle, and the lush sea of ​​'flowers' catches the eye, However, Ryan and others did not stop here, but followed the Duke's daughter straight to the inner courtyard, where he will visit the Grand Knight of the Holy Land, the Knight of the Holy Grail, and the Duke of Winford "Long 'Leg'" Francois-Antry .

Today's luck is not very good. His Excellency the Duke did not stay in the inner courtyard of his own castle. The loyal 'servant' and 'daughter' told the Duke's daughter that the Duke was tasting wine in the pavilion outside.

"Mr. Ryan, please go to meet my father first. I will go to meet you after I change my clothes." The Duke's daughter euphemistically said that she would stay first, while Ryan nodded friendly: "Okay."

Then, under the guidance of Bull Knight Baptiste and Buck Knight Gaston, along the marble courtyard, Ryan came to the pavilion of the castle.

The pavilion of the castle is built on a hill, and standing in the pavilion is enough to overlook the entire Helenhilde and even the surrounding fields.

In front of the pavilion, there was a long line of people, and countless seekers were lining up to be received by His Excellency the Duke. Among them were the heads of various trade unions, businessmen from other places, manor owners from the duchy, and even some from cloth. The wandering 'wandering' knights outside of Litania longed to meet the duke himself, or to sell themselves, or to speak of difficulties.

They were going to be disappointed today, as Baron Jean, who was wearing a full Brittanian baron's dress and had the insignia of the Knight of the Holy Grail on his chest, asked to see the Duke, so the guards and knights who were on duty at the castle immediately received the Duke's message. Notice: Today's meeting is over, and the two Holy Grail Knights will discuss an important matter.

So with unwillingness and regret, the waiters can only dissolve on their own.

Inside the pavilion, several ranger knights wearing shiny silver 'color' full-body plate armor were standing guard. In the pavilion, a tall and stalwart figure stood with his back to the person coming. His height, Ryan, was slightly taller, about 1.9 meters.

Looking at this stalwart figure, Bull Knight Baptiste and Buck Knight Gaston never concealed the enthusiasm and love in their eyes. They respectfully lowered their hands and signaled that Ryan could move forward.

"Long years no see, esteemed keeper of Winfort, owner of the Oracle Mountains, beloved His Excellency François-Antry-de-Winfort, Knight of the Grail, Ryan Malcador, wishes you good health Healthy." Ryan leaned down, put his hand on his left 'chest', and paid respect to this stalwart figure.

Like his godfather, Winford "Long 'Leg'" Francois is also a truly respectable person. The Duke became a knight at the age of 18 and participated in several wars. At the age of 23, he He won the crown and was named a knight of the kingdom at the Wushu Tournament in Curona, the capital of Brittany. At the age of 35, he took the road of the Holy Grail. At the age of 39, he killed a flying dragon and a doomsday bull by himself. Trial of the Holy Grail, and then returned to the realm, succeeding his father as Duke of Winford.

The difference between Francois and the dukes is that this grand duke is very good at internal affairs. His many years of war have never affected his wisdom. Under his governance, the originally rich Duchy of Winford has gone further and has become almost a paradise on earth. like appearance.

His military ability has never been abandoned. 11 years ago, the great necromancer Heinrich Kemmler led an army of undead to invade Brittany. It was Archduke Francois who led the knights to stop him. This attack, and the total expulsion of the dead from the borders of Brittany.

"Welcome to Winford, the champion of the 'lady', the guardian of Marienburg, and the winner of the championship match, Ryan Macado~" The Grand Duke turned around.

Like Julius and Suria, the duke has bright gold 'colored' hair and navy 'blue' eyes, a bushy short hair that makes him look extremely 'spiritual', and wide-fingered eyebrows' 'hair' , The tall 'tall' nose bridge and the beautiful short mustache were taken care of very 'spiritually'. It is hard to imagine that this grand duke is already in his early seventies, and he looks as handsome as a man in his thirties.

But when Ryan turned his eyes to his eyes, the impression of the duke's appearance had faded. These were a pair of eyes that were as deep as the sea. These were eyes that could truly penetrate people's hearts. Wisdom is in this 'wave' 'The rough sea is rolling, brewing, waiting for the next 'wave' 'tide' to come.

A silk dress of the Grand Duke of Brittany adorns his stalwart body. It seems that because there is no formal event today, the Duke himself dresses a little more casually: "I waited for several days and you didn't come to visit me, so I had no choice but to invite you here, my baron?"

The Duke's voice is heavy and full of magnetism~www.wuxiamtl.com~ has a strong sense of precipitation of the years.

After confirming that the Duke's face was full of smiles, Ryan replied cautiously: "I was negligent. I just arrived in the territory, there are a lot of things, and I plan to visit you again after I've dealt with it."

"Wise decision! This is a qualified lord." The Duke first affirmed Ryan's approach, and then smiled: "You are very 'outstanding', even if I knew that you were Ivan's godson, I didn't expect you to be like this. outstanding'."

"The reality is always imagined even more incredible, my Duke." Who knew Ryan smiled a little unnaturally: "I didn't expect such a day, when I was desperate in the championship match, it was the 'lady' It gave me the strength to fight."

"And your feats along the way have been worthy of the title of 'Ladies' champion, this is why I welcome you, sit, in this beautiful 'spring' day, there is nothing more comfortable to drink a glass of wine. "The duke made a 'color' to the 'waiter' who was serving behind him, and the 'waiter' immediately brought two ivory cups, and a bottle of very old wine was opened, dark red 'color' The wine was poured into a 'jade' white' ivory cup: "This is Younger wine from 1462, for the 'lady'!"

"For 'lady'!" Ryan took the wine glass, and the red wine in his mouth had a mellow taste and a long history, with a strong smoky and roasted smell.

"emmm~ truffle 'dew' fungus, mint, leather, black cherries, and a little bit of dwarf miner's smell, with a combination of hardness and softness, with distinct layers." Lane tasted it with his eyes closed.

Duke Winford hasn't replied yet, but a surprised voice came from behind the baron: "I didn't expect Lord Ryan to be someone who understands wine?"

The baron opened his eyes subconsciously and turned to look behind him.
