The next award ceremony had nothing to do with the king at all. The lake **** witch under the possession of the fairy in the lake arranged the whole process. In the eyes of countless people, she pinned the second-class iris medal to Ryan's chest.

Then, the divine power of the goddess surged, and golden wings appeared on the Holy Grail Knight badge on Ryan's chest, which was the proof of promotion to Knight Commander.

The ceremony continued. Due to the possession of the fairies in the lake, the originally grand ceremony was even more sacred and mysterious.

Richard also knelt down with all the knights. At this juncture, the knight of the mission did not look like a king at all. On the contrary, his status was to be ranked after the knights of the Holy Grail.

Not being able to become a Holy Grail Knight has always been a pain in his heart. The Duke of Le Ancourt has undergone three Holy Grail trials. He put down his lance, mounted his horse, and brought his luggage. Like all knights who yearn for the Holy Grail, He also tried, and went as far as the empire.

For various reasons, he failed in the end.

And now, in this way, the fairy in the lake clearly told him: I am not satisfied with your handling of this matter!

But what can he do? Watching the king fall by the side? Is it possible to point fingers in his throne room just by looking at a duke in his own country?

In this kingdom, no one can defy the lady's will, and Richard can only kneel on the ground.

After a complete and serious award ceremony, the fairy in the lake not only did not release her possession, but on the contrary, she stayed with great interest and watched Ryan's performance on the spot.

Horsemanship, swordsmanship, and lance, these are the three basic skills of knights, and knights who are enshrined must show their strengths in line with them.

In the eyes of everyone, Ryan stepped on his pure-blooded elf warhorse and took the lance from the squire's hand.

Under the knight's skillful training, the pure-blooded elf warhorse Songguo has the same mind as its owner, one by one, jumping over various obstacles and rushing straight towards the target.

Before the gate of the palace, a series of iron rings were already lined up.

Ryan is not a person who often uses a lance, but the champion of the fairy in the lake has never let the goddess down. The spear flashed, tearing the air, and two iron rings had already been hung on the lance.

Then three, five, eight.

At the end of the charge, the horse's hoof was raised, and Ryan's lance was covered with twelve iron rings.

The Chosen Champion conquered all the knights in the palace with his superb skills.

The training of lances has always been a very, very difficult training. A qualified knight begins to learn to use lances at the age of eleven or twelve. This kind of long-handled weapon with a length of two to three meters, whether it is in cloth. Both Ritania and the Empire are the constant first choice of knights, but it is also a very difficult homework to master it proficiently. In the full speed of the horse, the knight threatens to use a coin-sized gun with this polearm. It is very difficult to accurately hit the weak points of the enemy's armor without years of training.

Because of this, cultivating a good knight is a long process, which requires a lot of manpower, material resources and several years of time. Once cultivated, the knights' group charge has become a treasure that controls the war situation and wins. .

There were cheers in the palace, but the fairy in the lake was not satisfied. With this level of riding and spear skills, any Holy Grail Knight can do it.

"Qiang!" The fairy in the lake drew out her dagger.

"Ma'am?" The behavior of the Fairy in the Lake caused tension and stares from the surrounding Holy Grail Knights. The Fairy in the Lake smiled softly and did not give an order. Instead, she gently rolled up her long golden hair.

The short sword was held in the hands of the goddess, and a strand of hair was cut off by the fairy in the lake using the short sword. Then, in the eyes of everyone, the fairy in the lake gently braided her hair into a small hair ring.

The diameter of this hair ring is only about five centimeters in size. The fairy in the lake didn't say a word. She stretched out her jade hand and threw the hair ring from the stand.

The golden hair tie flew out of the stands in the cool autumn air, and the eyes of countless knights followed the trajectory of this hair tie.

Those eyes are fanatical, longing, and full of the life-long expectations of countless knights. If Ryan was not performing, perhaps a large number of young knights would frantically compete for this hairpin, which is the blessing of the goddess!

"Drive!" No one understands the meaning of the fairy in the lake better than Ryan. After the fairy in the lake made this move, the champion of God's Choice immediately urged the horse to move forward. The warhorse charged again.

The lance was held high until it was gradually flattened, and a silver-gray electric light whizzed past in front of the stand, stirring up countless dust.

The fairy in the lake has always been indifferent, and at the same time she even has time to talk to Morgiana: "Morgiana, did you have a pleasant experience last night?"

"My lady!" The witch of the lake **** was taken over by the fairy in the lake, but her consciousness was still awake. She was very embarrassed to meet this question: "I obeyed your oracle."

"Lion's existence is for an alien. Even I can't eliminate many terrible corruptions and curses, but he has a way." The face of the fairy in the lake gradually became serious: "He helped you dispel the curse?"

"No, he said he was not strong enough, but he put a psionic seal on me, allowing me to avoid the further erosion of the curse on me." Morgiana's demeanor was extremely respectful: "His psionic power The light cleansed the filth that plagued me, and I feel better now."

"There is no doubt that he is the silver horse. We need his strength, Morgiana, you are my spokesperson, he is my divine choice, and I hope you can get along well." The fairy in the lake came down again. An oracle: "Perhaps, the way to save this country falls on him."

"Understood, my lady." Morgiana had never heard such a clear oracle, and had never been possessed for such a long time. The lake **** witch felt very strange in her heart, but as the spokesperson of the fairy in the lake And devout believers, Morgiana will not test the thoughts and powers of the fairy in the lake, she will only obey.

At this moment, the huge noise drew the attention of the fairy in the lake back to the arena.

Her god-chosen champion came to her with a lance and a smile on his face.

On the tip of the lance, a golden hair tie was shining with a charming light.

The sacred ceremony ended in a tsunami.

The next day, Morgiana, the witch of the lake god, Duke Winford, and Lane will lead the rest of their army back to their lands to prepare for the winter.

Ryan once again showed his noble side. He spent all the 1,500 gold crowns he had received, which would be distributed as pensions for fallen soldiers.

With only fifty new sergeant armors, Ryan and the others set out on their way home.

At this time, the time has come to the beginning of October, and by the time everyone returns to the Principality of Winford, it will be late autumn, and in a few weeks, Brittany will usher in the first heavy snow.

Along with Ryan and others, there is also the Duke of Bordeaux, Boderick. The Sea God's Chosen Champion has communicated a lot with everyone on the road. This is a Duke with a strong character and is as tolerant of all things as the sea, but at the same time. He is also as cold as the sea.

In the golden field, Morgiana, the witch of the lake god, sat on the side of the unicorn "Hilfarne", Ryan followed her on horseback, and at the same time there were Duke Francois and Duke Baudric, These four men of the highest status walk together.

As the spokesperson of the fairy in the lake, Morgiana has never had a good temper. In other words, the witch of the lake **** has always been an unpredictable person. She is the great wizard of the sanctuary of the sky and life. Usually unpredictable, often appear in Britannia, punish those evil wizards or rogue knights who do not obey the morality of knights, secretly help oppressed serfs and mission knights who are undergoing the Holy Grail trial.

Usually, she usually locks herself in a wizard tower in a swamp near Fairy Lake in the Duchy of Carcassonne, and no one knows what she is doing in the tower.

There is a very interesting little story about the witch of the lake god: she has a hobby, she will turn the object of punishment into frogs, such as the wizard who provoked her, or the rogue knight who failed and punished. Therefore, the serfs of Brittany Girls often like to play a game "kiss the frog", that is, find frogs from ponds and swamps, kiss them when they see them, and hope that the curse of the lake **** witch can be lifted through the girl's kiss, thereby changing their fate.

I don't know if it's true or false, Ryan is not interested in trying it anyway.

"We have passed the Principality of Lyonnais, and we will go south through Connaught." Francois rode a horse and approached from behind: "The cursed land of Mousillon."

"The Duke of Scarlet has been honest recently, and the Rangers haven't noticed any new movements in him." Baudrillard, Duke of Bordeaux, looks like he is in his forties, but his real age is in his eighties. Even if it is measured by a legendary powerhouse, he has already entered middle age. In recent years, there have been rumors that the Duke himself wants to put aside his worldly affairs and embark on the road of the Holy Grail, but the frequent looting of dark elf pirates, the vampires in the territory The haunts of the North and the army of the undead knights of the Scarlet Duke of the North made him invincible.

Morgiana's face was cold, she just nodded.

Mousillon Castle is located at the mouth of the Grismery River. The source of this river is the Arden Forest. The former small and prosperous Duchy of Connaught has now become the world of the dead. The whole castle seems to be gradually changing. Swamped by swamps, but it seems that because of some special magic or repeated capping, the castle always stands at the mouth of the river.

Even if he is reluctant to admit it, Brittany has actually lost this port city. After the Dole Tower Incident, the knights did not fail to work hard. The Scarlet Duke could be defeated again and again, but the knights could not capture Mu silon.

Lane once asked the reason, and Francois told him with a wry smile: "When you are faced with a city wall that is sixty meters high and twenty meters wide, it is difficult for you to have the idea of ​​capturing it, Lane, remember. , the undead do not need to consider human and material resources."

"So it is." Ryan understood.

The undead do not need to consider human and material resources. These sleepless creatures can build castles indefinitely. The knights themselves are incapable of attacking the city. Britannia is a country that has a general relationship with dwarves and no artillery. Such a strong city, the knights can only return without success.

"Speaking of which, when did the Blood Scarlet Duke appear, and why did he get such a title? Why does he claim to be one of the heirs to the throne of Brittany?" He asked, as Lane's identity completely Qualified to ask questions.

Morgiana, the witch of the lake god, turned her head and glanced at Ryan, her emerald eyes flashed with light: "The real name of the blood red duke has been sealed by the lady, but no matter what, he is a genuine duke of Aquitaine. ."

Both Dukes Francois and Baudric were silent, obviously they knew the story, but the witch of the lake **** was more suitable as the person to tell.

"Duke of Aquitaine? I haven't heard of this title." Ryan asked curiously.

"The title of Duke of Aquitaine existed when Brittany was founded. The first Duke of Aquitaine was Arthur's close comrade-in-arms, the Holy Grail Knight Fredmond." Morgiana nodded, and she continued: "The matter is From about five hundred years ago, do you know about the Great Expedition of Chiyan?"

"Of course!" Ryan nodded.

The Great Crusade of Crimson Flame is a story that knights are familiar with.

About five hundred years ago, Brittany and the Empire were attacked by a country called Araby across the sea to the southwest. The cavalry from the Araby desert slaughtered civilians along the way, causing public outrage throughout the old world. .

In order to avoid infighting and preserve strength, the tacit understanding of war between humans is to never slaughter civilians, and rarely kill nobles, usually locked up and waiting for ransom.

The Empire and Brittany formed an army of knights to swept the Arab invading army, and launched a heroic expedition under the call of the king of knights and the emperor of the empire, with dozens of knights and tens of thousands of knights participating in this. Field expedition.

The knights fought across the sea, the desert civilization was completely destroyed, and the expedition returned home with countless gold and spoils, as well as the head of the Arab king Jafar and endless glory.

"The Duke of Scarlet was the last Duke of Aquitaine. He responded to the lady's call to participate in this war." Morgiana saw that Ryan knew about the Red Flame Expedition, so he omitted part of it: "But on the way back, this A duke has fallen ill."

"The duke was wounded in the desert, became seriously ill again, had a high fever, and fell into a complete coma, but he persisted tenaciously until he returned to Brittany before passing away in his bedroom."

"A grand funeral tells of the Duke's departure, but it is not over. A mysterious undead knight has appeared between his domains."

"On a rainy night three days later, the Scarlet Duke was resurrected. He was no longer a noble knight who fought for the lady, but a hideous undead. In the next few hours, he slaughtered his family. And the knights of the family, resurrected them, formed their own army of the dead, declared that the Duchy of Aquitaine became the world of the dead, and the serfs called him the Duke of Blood according to his blood-colored appearance."

"So it is." Ryan expressed understanding, and then he motioned Morgiana to continue, while Francois and Baudric sighed slightly.

"The king of knights, who had been warned, led the army to defeat the Scarlet Duke, and the undead fell apart. Under the auspices of the lady and the lake **** witch, the Scarlet Duke was sealed, the castle of Aquitaine was razed to the ground, and the surrounding soil also used the Holy Grail. The salt blessed by the knights has been ploughed. Due to the fact that the Aquitaine family has fallen and genocide, the title of this duke has been cancelled, and the land of the Duchy of Aquitaine has been replaced by the Duchy of Bordeaux, the Duchy of Beleon, and the Duchy of Barstow. The Duchy of Nirvana is divided equally."

"Originally, all of this was over long ago, but in the Dole Tower incident two hundred and eighty years ago, the lake **** witch of that generation was imprisoned, and the evil wizard took the opportunity to release the sealed Blood Scarlet Duke. He was defeated again, but This time, the knights failed to catch him, so this situation has continued to this day." Morgiana shook her head slowly: "To this day, the Duke of Scarlet still claims to be the Duke of Aquitaine and is competing for the throne of the Knights. Qualifications."

"The existence of the Scarlet Duke is like planting a tumor in the kingdom. We had to arrange patrols with rangers and set up an outpost near the Duchy of Connaught, which contained a lot of the kingdom's military power." Fran Sauvage nodded: "Every year, a large number of serfs who cannot survive flee into the Connaught Territory. Any fugitive serf can be sheltered there and find a job to support his family. Therefore, in recent years, Mousillon's economic and Instead, the population is booming.”

Ryan understood, completely understood.

It seems that the knights of Brittany were unable to conquer Mousillon Castle, but in fact, the essential reason why the Scarlet Duke was able to make waves was because of the gradual collapse of the serf system.

The kingdom of knights is declining, and a bigger crisis is approaching. He must not be complacent just because of the small victory in front of him. Ryan has a lot to do.

At the same time ~www.wuxiamtl.com~Roof of the World Mountains, Sky Dome Castle, Garland Council Headquarters.

It was another boring winter night. The Sky Castle is located at an altitude of 1,000 meters. It is shrouded in ice and snow most of the time. It is said that the reason why Speaker Margarita decided to set up the headquarters of the Jialan Council here is because the cold climate is conducive to suppressing the situation. The violent magical element within female spellcasters.

This is also the twenty-eighth year that Teresa Trovik has spent in Skydome.

After completing a difficult but very tedious task of checking the seals all over the castle, Senator Garland finally returned to the wizard tower owned by herself and her mother. The sorceress felt a little tired and opened her room. Throwing the leather boots at the door and hanging the coat on the hanger, Teresa lazily fell on the sofa in the room.

"Dong dong dong" just a few minutes later, the door of her room was knocked: "Miss?"

"What's the matter?" The sorceress was agitated for a while. Since she went out with Ryan, her temper has gotten a little better, at least she won't get angry with apprentices and servants casually.

"I have your letter." The witch apprentice knew that her mentor had a bad temper, or that there were very few good-tempered congresswomen in Garland: "Can I come in?"

"Um!"

So the door was opened.

"I don't want to look at it now, put it on the table for me!" Teresa waved her hand, indicating that the apprentice can go out after putting away her things.

"But this is an express confidential letter from Brittany, famously from the Holy Grail Knight Baron Laine Maccador." The witch apprentice carefully placed the letter on the table. Seeing that her MP didn't want to read it, she was weak and weak. added a sentence.

Hearing the words Ryan, Teresa rolled over from the sofa and sat up.

"Give it to me! Now!"

The Sorceress is here! Will the witch be far away?
