Proof of the Sun King

At 4:30 in the afternoon, in the officer's dining room of the Poldereau galleon "Mannann's Wrath", Ryan gave Federmond a face-to-face advice: "We didn't give him these gifts for nothing, wait until we catch those Rogue knight, catch the mastermind behind the scenes, if there is really evidence that the Estalians ordered it, we can go directly to the main shrine of Myrmidia in Magritte with our weapons and go to Archbishop Giovanni or Lo Lord Renzo, ask for an explanation!"

Isabella Giovanni, Archbishop of Milmedia, the most powerful man in Estalia, a woman.

Lorenzo Marco, head of the Knights of the Eagles.

Both of them have unparalleled political energy in Estalia, and even the most powerful Duke of Magritte, Rubio-Sunwatcher, dare not provoke them, after all, more than half of the entire Estalia The army is all followers of Myrmidyar.

Federmond frowned, he was silent, the face of the new Holy Grail Knight changed, no one knew the reason.

Olika let out a sneer. On the one hand, the dark elf laughed at the fact that humans used such a troublesome way to get back their belongings. It's really hard to say.

For the dark elves, they have to spend their lives in endless blood, killing and conspiracy since they grow up. Even if they are adults, they cannot slack off even for a moment. The same is true for Olika. She has always tasted the eternal struggle. Spend her life in murder and conspiracy until becoming Lane's maid...

Still the most handsome and powerful master! The dark elf thought happily.

Ryan somewhat understands why Boderick asked himself to take his son with him.

As a Holy Grail Knight, Federmond's bravery and virtue are qualified.

But as a ducal heir, Federmond's political skills and political sensitivity were unqualified, and after the long Crusade of the Holy Grail, Federmond became fond of using force and invoking chivalrous virtues to solve problems.

Duke Bodrick is not satisfied with this, and the embarrassment is right here. Duke Bodrick is not a Holy Grail Knight, and he is sometimes not very good at pointing fingers at Federmond's words and deeds.

So I'm here to help you take your son, right? Lane thought so.

Forget it, there are still many benefits to bringing this future duke heir. Ryan needs such a strong iron. Francois is, and so will Federmond in the future, and the conditions given by Duke Baudric are really good. .

"It's not what I imagined. I thought we could start the investigation as soon as we got to Billy Barry. Now it doesn't seem that simple." Federmond can refute Boderick's guidance to him because he My father is not the Holy Grail Knight, but this person is not only the Holy Grail Knight Commander, but also the God's Chosen Champion of the Fairy in the Lake.

"This is the mortal world, the kingdom of mankind, we are the people of order, we have always ruled our people through faith and law, and similarly, since we want to land on Estalia, we must cooperate with the local The nobles are dealing with the nobles." Ryan took a sip of Imperial Stout, and he continued: "People are social, we can't play aggression in the name of looking for rogue knights, then what is the difference between us and the Norsca people who believe in chaos ?"

"But... we don't have many clues at the moment." Federmond finally reluctantly accepted Ryan's opinion, but due to the theft of the family treasure and the hatred of the ancestral grave being dug, he was only temporarily calm. It's just down: "If you waste too much time, I'm worried that those rogue knights will transfer the Seagod Trident away."

"How did you determine that the rogue knights were in the Duchy of Billy Barry?" Lane asked.

Federmond began to tell the story of the matter.

After the tomb was stolen, Duke Baudric's first reaction was that the vampire army of Musillon in the north wanted to steal the Trident of the Sea God, so he sent troops to guard the ports and Musillon epidemic prevention belts, check travelers and The passers-by did not find the Seagod Trident.

Just when Duke Boderick was at a loss, the sea **** Mannan asked him a dream, saying that the person who stole the sea **** trident was heading south, and Duke Poldro immediately led the sea **** knights south, and finally caught it in Berleon. Got a... serf.

The serf took the initiative to find Duke Bodrick and wanted to flatter him. He said that he had news of the rogue knight and used it as a reward. The duke, who had no time to grumble with the serf, tortured the serf on the spot, and the serf who was dying was tortured. Forced to open their mouths, it turned out that this group of rogue knights had a premeditated plan. They took advantage of the chaotic political situation in Berleon and were stationed here. The serf happened to overhear their conversation when he was hunting in the mountains.

Several Estalians paid a lot of money to hire this group of rogue knights to steal the Trident of the Sea God, and agreed that the two parties would deliver it in the forest near the Principality of Bilibaly.

This is what happened. The serf didn't know anything else, and some time had passed since the incident. The rogue knights must have been close to arriving in Billy Barry to prepare for delivery.

"So that's the case, so we have to take back the Seagod Trident from the rogue knights before they deliver it?" Veronica also felt the difficulty of the problem. This kind of military operation in other countries always requires Be very careful, one bad will face the siege of the whole country.

"What if we arrive at Billy Barry and find that the Seagod Trident has been traded by the rogue knights to the Estalians behind the scenes?" Templar Alfred asked his own question.

"That must also recapture the family artifact of our Duke Boldero family." Federmond's attitude towards this was concise.

"It shouldn't be so easy to deliver." Ryan raised an objection to this, he shook his head: "If those Estalia people really intend to hide behind the scenes, then the delivery must be very cautious, and In terms of the confusion in Estalia... Anyway, wait until we get to Billy Barry and see what's going on, Federmond, is there any other news besides this?"

"No more." Federmond shook his head.

"Well..." Ryan picked up the information on the table.

The Duchy of Bilibali is mainly composed of three forces, namely Silva, Duke of Bilibali, the Merchant Alliance of Estalia, and the branch of the Sun Knights mentioned above.

Silva, Duke of Bilibali, controls part of the army and navy of the duchy. This duchy is located in the north of Estalia and controls part of the coast. The land here is very desolate and the cliffs stand, so the main income is relying on maritime trade. , As the Duke of Billy Barry, Silva has a powerful fleet to protect the law and order.

In addition, the merchant alliance of Estalia also has a place here. In the more free southern countries, people are more free and disorderly because they are far away from the threats of Chaos and Greenskin, so the merchants are like in the Marienburg has achieved a certain status as well.

Then there is the branch of the Empire's Sun Knights. There are less than 60 knights from the empire in total, but no one dares to look down on them, because they have a powerful country behind them.

"Karl Franz is probably the leader who is best at using diplomacy." Ryan pointed his finger on the map, and the count smiled: "Because of him, Estalia has always lacked a strong army that he can handle. , because in Estalia, all the armies are eager to join the empire and serve the emperor. Compared with the divided Estalia, the powerful empire is obviously more attractive to the people here, the glitz of the empire And the power is so eye-catching that every year a large number of high-quality people flow to the empire to serve the emperor Karl Franz. This is the 'imperial minister' diplomacy established by the emperor Karl, mainly for the southern countries, every year the empire can Get a large population."

"Duke Billy Barry is a mercenary and tyrannical monarch. He only cares about his port, and he doesn't care about the beastman tribe that is raging in the southern forest. The merchant alliance sees money, and they will only seek more wealth and development. The new route, and at their instigation, the Estalians have had sea power disputes and border frictions with us many times, these people will only hinder our investigation!" Federmond frowned: "Finally It is the Sun Knights branch of the Empire, they are too few, I can't think of how they can help us."

"The problem can't be thought of that way, Federmond." Ryan shook his head, and he first put his finger on the port of the Duchy of Billy Barry.

"As you said, Silva, Duke of Billy Barry, is a tyrant. This may be a disaster for the territorial people, but for us, this is something we can't ask for."

"I can't ask for it?" Federmond was a little puzzled.

"People have their own demands. Since Duke Silva of Billy Barry can ignore the Beastmen tribe in the southern forest, as long as we find his hobbies, he can also investigate our investigations. Even sending troops into the country to fight without paying attention, isn't this good news for us?" Ryan said slowly.

"Yes, indeed." Federmond nodded again and again.

"As for the Merchant Alliance, we don't have to worry about them embarrassing us at all. On the contrary, these businessmen will receive us as VIPs." Ryan continued.

"But this group of businessmen always instigated the nobles of Estalia to go to war with us in Britannia..." Federmond seemed to have caught something vaguely.

"Yes, this is a businessman. The identity of a businessman is destined for this group of people to follow the flow of interests. They obey the basic order, but they yearn for enough chaos." Ryan continued: "It's not that they really want a full-scale war to encourage war. Merchants just want to create chaos, creating chaos means price fluctuations, and merchants are profitable, but we only need to make a gesture, that is, if we can't find the Trident of the Sea God, we will lift the table and cut off the business route. What are you trying to challenge us? Their escorts? Mercenaries? Are you so insecure about your skills and the Poseidon fleet behind us? Fredmond? It's even weaker than imagined, and the situation is really tense to a certain extent, and they will definitely stand up to help us."

"So it is! I understand!" Federmond breathed a sigh of relief, and the eldest son of the duke had already made up his mind after listening to Ryan's series of analyses: "Then what about the Sun Knights?"

"The Sun Knights will be our allies. We must know how to use them." Ryan moved his fingers along the trade route from Estalia to the Empire, all the way to Tara, the headquarters of the Sun Knights. Behheim: "The Empire and Brittany have a covenant for hundreds of years. In the face of many enemies, we have always fought side by side. The Knights of the Sun also attach great importance to chivalry. In addition, I have signed many covenants with the Empire. And the terms of cooperation, it shouldn't be a problem to communicate with them."

"The Sun Knights have operated the trade routes between the Empire and Estalia for five hundred years. They have strong influence and conscription channels in Estalia, and all major roads have their peripheral personnel. Even a small fortress, if I'm not wrong, looking for the whereabouts of the rogue knights, maybe these scorching sun knights can provide us with more clues."

After some words, it was already six o'clock in the evening, and the chefs served a feast of bread, cheese, bacon and fresh fish, accompanied by Bordeaux wine.

"Lord Ryan, I really admire your wisdom!" Federmond calmed down a lot after Ryan's series of analysis, and he took the initiative to fill Ryan's wine glass with red wine: "This time with you and Together, we will definitely be able to recapture the Seagod Trident!"

"It's not these people that I'm worried about now." Ryan still frowned: "Our fellow human beings still obey some rules. What I'm really worried about is...According to the information, Estalia has been ravaged by a tribe of beastmen recently. Many villages were destroyed."

"There will be a solution, Ryan, it's useless for you to think so much now." Veronica patted Ryan's hand: "Our Garland Council has an office in Magritte, and Ms. Melissa will help We help."

"I remember that Ms. Margarita, the Speaker, was born in Estalia?" Ryan suddenly remembered something.

"Magritte, Margarita, dear, don't you understand yet?" Veronica smiled tenderly: "Just listen to this name~www.wuxiamtl.com~ you know she should be Ace Thalia."

"I've never been too concerned about this kind of problem..." Ryan spit out: "Let's not say anything else, Nord is called Ryan, Britania is called Leon, Estalia is called Leo, but these three The meaning of the word is lion, is it that the person who is called a lion is a member of a country?"

"It's all human." Alfred concluded the dinner.

"Hahaha~"

After dinner, Ryan and others returned to the cabin, and Alfred said goodbye to them: "Then... good friend, I'll go down."

"I wish you a good night, Alfred." Ryan also said goodbye to Alfred, and then he opened the door of the room, the Count himself fell on the sofa in a bored state, and the dark elf made black tea for him: "Master , please have tea."

"And Ms. Veronica."

"Thank you." Veronica kicked off her high heels and sat on the bed naturally. Witch Garland sarcastically said, "You really came to bring a son to Duke Boderick."

"Why not?" Ryan motioned for Olika to come over and let him hug him, and the dark elves maid took off her shoes and got into Ryan's arms obediently.

"That old nephew of yours still needs to be trained~ He's in his fifties, so he still seems so immature." Veronica rubbed her waist, she always spoke straight in front of Ryan.

"Old nephew...hahaha~" Ryan couldn't help laughing after listening to Veronica's words. What the **** is an old nephew? Federmond was in his fifties, and he was in his early thirties.

"By the way, Olika, Veronica, have you discussed it, who sleeps on the sofa at night?" Ryan hugged Olika's soft body and smiled maliciously.

"No one sleeps on the sofa at night, Master." The dark elf answered intriguingly.
