Proof of the Sun King

Late April, Old World, Moros Plain, north of Estalia, Imperial Army Camp.

In the golden tent, Ryan and the others sat opposite the imperial alchemist Belshazer-Gelter, the imperial general Bernhardt and others, and the well-trained imperial team was directly in the plain and forest. Camp nearby.

There is a long table in the big tent, and there are some drinks and food on the long table. All the officers of the Imperial Army led by Geert are here to entertain Ryan and others, but who is to be entertained, everyone knows, no doubt. , The only one who can make the empire show such sincerity is naturally only Count Ryan Malcador, who has a good relationship with the empire.

"Why did the Empire's army appear here?" In the golden dome tent, Ryan held up the Imperial Stout in the mug, and he took the initiative to ask: "I don't remember any major diplomacy between Estalia and the Empire. Disputes, and I haven't heard the news of Arabi's invasion again."

"We're looking for one thing." Bershaze-Gelt's face was hidden behind the golden mask, and no one could see his expression. The great alchemist held a golden staff even when he sat down to eat. : "A treasure, such a thing belongs to me and only belongs to me."

"Will you need an army of more than 10,000 people to capture a treasure?" Ryan then asked: "Great alchemist of the empire, I'm not questioning your motives, but under what circumstances would such an army be dispatched?"

Ryan's question was a little too direct. The empire's general Bernhardt and a knight commander of the Sun Knights felt a little abrupt after hearing Ryan's question, and the imperial general immediately asked back: "So, respect Your Excellency Count Malcador, why are you leading fifty Sea God Knights on Estalia's side?"

"Because we encountered some troubles, some self-righteous rogue knights became thieves, and we had to recover the stolen goods." Ryan revealed some of the situation he encountered: "We got news that a few days later, this group of rogue knights The merchants in Estalia will be selling their stolen goods on the Moros Plain, so we ambushing here in advance and waiting for news."

"So, do you need our help?" Ryan's frankness reassured the empire, and Geert asked along the way.

The generals of the empire also nodded, fighting rogue knights and merchants from Estalia? There are not many seizures here, and the troops of Estalia... well-trained, the imperial army that is facing enemies on all sides has been fighting for a long time, and the untrained Estalia army is like a war exercise .

"No, this is a private matter of our family." Federmond said actively, he had the right to speak on this matter: "We are very grateful for the kindness of the empire, but we will solve it ourselves, I represent our Duke of Poldero. The family is here to thank you."

"Okay then." Imperial General Bernhardt felt regretful.

"What about the empire? Why did you come to this place?" Ryan began to ask Geert in turn.

"A talisman, a powerful magical talisman, buried in the tomb of a great lord." Geert did not hesitate, he said very directly: "I need to get this talisman and prevent it from falling into the hands of vampires. ."

"The Great Alchemist..." The imperial general said hesitantly. Obviously, the imperial side was reluctant to let the chivalrous patients in Brittany know the whole thing, because they were afraid that this incident would be unresolved.

Geert raised his golden gloves and motioned everyone to shut up. The great alchemist knew in his heart that Ryan and him were the real ones.

That's right, the real oneself.

The great alchemist of the empire is obviously very prestigious in the imperial team. His contribution to black powder and engineering has made the imperial engineers who have always been far away from magic admire him, and his performance in battle is also Let the Imperial Army really see what it means to change the situation of the war by one's own power. Whenever the war is anxious, the great alchemist will ride on the Pegasus and fly into the battlefield, using his alchemy magic to bring destruction to the enemy, Metal torrents will sweep through the enemies of the Empire, their weapons and armor will turn to lead and clay, and their blood will turn to metal turbidity, whether chaos creatures, greenskins, or vampires can't avoid being powerful in Gelt failed under the spell.

If the problem can't be solved, Gelt's golden retriever will tear the enemy to pieces, and his ultimate alchemy has even turned hundreds of beastmen into golden statues in one go, turning the outcome of the battlefield in one fell swoop.

Therefore, since Geert returned from Nord with the new Emperor Karl Franz more than eight years ago, his magic level has been improving at a rapid rate, and his status has also risen. The Imperial Academy of Wizards and Wizards Under his leadership, the Alchemy Academy in China has continued to rise in status, and has been qualified to compete with the former strongest academy, the Flame Academy. He himself has become the emperor's most trusted right-hand man together with the new Marshal Rick Helberg. Most of the obscure and mysterious affairs related to magic are usually left to Gelt to solve, especially when the emperor goes on an expedition. Gelt, as the emperor's subordinate and close friend, and several other Karl's henchmen, loyally support the emperor's business.

Well, very loyal, even the Emperor sometimes felt that Gelt was a little too loyal.

So this time, when the Great Alchemist offered to send an army to Estalia to hunt for treasure, Emperor Karl Franz agreed without hesitation, on the one hand as a reward for loyalty, on the other hand Some compensation for his meaning.

"Amulet? We are also looking for a talisman, and I have heard that the merchants in Estalia have found one and are happy to send it to Myrmidy in Magritte as a relic of Myrmidia. The Temple of the Lord." Ryan said seriously, and the count's face was a little troubled: "Maybe we are looking for something?"

"That's fake news from us."

"Clam?"

"That's the fake news we released to confuse the vampires." Geert had to repeat: "This was the suggestion of the emperor's courtiers, who thought that if the vampires could be made aware of their desire to compete with me for the sea The golden talisman must face the Empire and the Church of the Goddess of War at the same time, which will make the insidious and cunning vampires think more about whether it is worth fighting, and these midnight nobles are always more selfish."

"This news is so realistic that even I believe it." The muscles on Ryan's face twitched.

"If you want to deceive the enemy, you must first be able to deceive yourself." Geert's words were concise, and he began to talk about the incident: "We tightly sealed the news."

The Seagold Amulet is an ancient and powerful magical amulet, a masterpiece from a time when the High Elves had not yet withdrawn from the Old World. Gelt stumbled upon its existence while researching materials at the Imperial Academy of Wizards.

At the same time, the great alchemist also found that the vampires were also looking for this amulet, so he sent a demon hunter and got the news by assassinating a few vampire scouts, that is, the vampire Count was also trying to find the sea gold amulet, led by Galt. The Imperial Army had already fought against the vampire lord Leopold Haken at the Mabad Mausoleum in Midden. Although the Imperial Army successfully defeated Leopold Haken and his vampire army, the talisman did not. not there.

Then there is only one target left, the tomb of the high elves in Estalia. Galt knew that the vampires were also racing to get there, and the Imperial Army had to fight in a foreign country, so he sent someone to release it. Fake news that Magritte's Merchant Union had discovered a talisman that was relic of the goddess Myrmidia.

The empire has been operating in Estalia for many years, and the news released is enough to be false. Many adventurers and mercenary groups feel that the opportunity to make a fortune is coming, and they set off for Magritte, even Magritte's nobles and wars The Church of the Goddess is convinced.

"Well, this may explain why we encountered higher vampires." Ryan frowned, and he understood that he had also received fake news.

"Higher Vampire? Is it Leopold Harken?" Galt's tone was always lacking in emotion, but he could hear that he was very interested in Ryan and their experiences.

"No, it's a blood descendant of the Laemia family." Ryan shook his head.

The earl told Galt all the experiences of his group.

"So it is." Geert's metal face couldn't see the expression. I don't know what he was thinking. The great alchemist ordered Bernhardt, the general of the empire, "Bring that."

"That?" Bernhardt hesitated: "But that was granted to you by His Majesty the Emperor himself..."

"Your Excellency Ryan is a friend and ally of His Majesty the Emperor, right?" Galt continued.

"...I understand." The imperial general thought of the courtesy Lane received in the empire, he finally nodded and took a roll of parchment from the big tent.

"This is Estalia's certificate of military access. We have multiple backups." Geert handed the parchment to Ryan: "Take it, I can see that you don't have this."

"Thank you very much." Ryan didn't refuse. He took over the permit. He and Duke Poldereau really needed this. Holding the permit, Ryan said with a smile, "This thing must be difficult to get, right?"

"It's not difficult, all the city-states and principalities in Estalia are vying to sell their military access rights, it depends on whether you have a way." Imperial general Bernhardt said triumphantly: "These southerners are for the sake of Money can be sold a lot, there is nothing they dare not do, as long as you hold this permit as a military ally and partner of our empire, you can move freely in Estalia.”

"Don't these southerners have any dignity at all?" Federmond said with a black line on his face.

"No, at least not in front of our giant cannons, hellstorm rocket launchers and my metal torrent." Great alchemist Belchazer-Gelter stood up: "Lord Ryan, can you take a step to speak? I have some I want to talk to you about something."

"Okay." Ryan also stood up.

My own person, since Gelt took the initiative to ask to talk to him, it must be something extremely important.

The two people walked out of the tent one after the other. The well-equipped and well-trained imperial army was camping on the plain. All kinds of powerful war machines made Ryan a little envious. The Brunswick Arms Factory and the Nuer Arms Factory were able to produce them. Lots of amazingly powerful war machines that his realm can't do right now.

Leaving the camp and looking for a small forest, the two walked one after the other. The sun in Estalia was very dazzling. The forest here was far from the pollution of chaos, full of vitality, and the fragrance of birds and flowers.

The Great Alchemist was wearing golden scales, a golden mask, a golden staff, and a golden cloak. His appearance looked vulgar but extremely majestic. Ryan walked behind him with his hands on his back and smiled: "Our Great Alchemist Is there anything you want to talk to me about?"

"A major event has occurred in the empire recently, and it is related to you." Geert whispered: "For this reason, all the electors are convening the imperial parliament in Brunswick."

event? Ryan's eyes rolled around, and he immediately realized something: "Emilia... No, it's Emmanuel?"

"That's right, Emmanuel von Lebowitz-Bernardino, the noble lady who has been missing for many years returned to Nuer under the **** of the army, and then returned to Nuer in the Nuer nobles and the Nuer wizarding guild. With the support of the Nuer Iron Armored Army, she took office as the Duchess of Nuer." Bershaze-Gelt calmly told the recent events in the empire: "But the Duchess Emmanori was not satisfied, she officially reported to the Imperial Parliament. She filed a lawsuit, arguing that her Elector and Grand Duke of Wiesen were unlawfully stolen, and she asked Kaiser Karl-Franz and the Electors to do her justice."

"It doesn't sound easy." Ryan nodded, Emilia had a strong claim to the Elector of Brescia and the Grand Duke of Wesson for granted, but it was one thing to have it, and it was another thing to take office smoothly.

"The emperor accepted the lawsuit, the Imperial Council was officially held, and all the electors rushed to the Brunswick Palace. At the Imperial Council, Emmanuel proved her identity by using the Elector's Holy Sword." Galt continued. : "But the representative of the Schroeder family who is currently regent in Wessenland believes that Emmanuel's identity is not a problem, but she does not know the specific situation of the territory, nor does she understand the current series of threats that Wessonland is facing. There is also a lack of an heir, if this continues, the direct line of the Bernardino family will be extinct."

"That's not the point, the point should be that Jani should hand over all his titles, right? That's the title he stole, and Emmanuel should get everything back~www.wuxiamtl.com~ Ryan said strangely.

"That's right, His Majesty Emperor Carl thinks the views of the Schroeder family are simply nonsense, and the Elector Boris even asked the representatives of the Schroeder family to get out on the spot." Geert nodded: "But obviously, Schroeder The German family is not without allies. For example, His Excellency Albert, Elector of Utterbad and Grand Duke of Stile, and His Excellency Wolfram, Elector of Bekafen and Speaker of the Ostermark League Parliament, believe that, The Imperial Council is not the emperor’s word, and the Schroeder family and the current Elector Jani have the right to speak at the Imperial Council.”

"What are their conditions?" Ryan asked.

"The conditions of the Schroeder family are that Emmanuel must marry Gianni Bernardino, transfer the title of elector through marriage, and at the same time, Emmanuel must stay at Wesson for at least six months each year. Fort, take the elector course." Galt continued.

"Marrying, giving birth to an heir, and taking the course means being locked up." Ryan raised his eyebrows: "Until the heir is born, Emilia is useless."

"Emmanori doesn't accept it for granted." The great alchemist stopped, and he turned to look at Ryan: "She revealed two facts that shocked all the electors of the entire Imperial Council."

"First, the current elector, Gianni Bernardino is also a woman! This is the deepest secret of her distant relative, and the Schroeder family obviously got something wrong."

"Secondly, she is pregnant. The child's father is a famous human hero, Ryan Malcador, the god-chosen champion of the fairy in the lake. This child will inherit all her future titles. She has an heir!"

"Very good." Ryan nodded seriously. He thought for a while and continued: "So, what should I do? What should I do to help Amy... Emmanuel?"

"you should……"
