Chapter 1091 From the Lord to the Princess and vice versa
The carriage continued to move forward. Emilia and her daughter Rem carefully delivered the black tea to Ryan and Talleyrand. Talleyrand was frightened, and Ryan took it with a smile. At the same time, he took a sip under his daughter's expectant eyes.
Then he nodded to indicate that the soak was good.
The eldest daughter Rem's face turned red with excitement. For her, getting her father's recognition is the best reward.
But Emilia didn't need this kind of reward. The Imperial Countess looked sideways at Talleyrand drinking the black tea respectfully, and thought to herself, if you say it doesn't taste good, I will kill you.
Talleyrand simply said nothing.
The Imperial Baroness has been in a bad temper recently because she should go back to Nuer. Nuer's entire court has indeed stayed in Britannia long enough. What Nuer needs to do now is to provide technical support and prepare to use the existing
The four steam boilers were removed from the Emmanuel-class land cruiser, and then the solar engine was installed and testing began.
After testing, the power of Forgan's modified solar engine is quite perfect. With 1,500 horsepower started at full speed, the Emmanuel-class land cruiser can reach 38-40 kilometers per hour at full speed, and there is still extra leftover. Unfortunately, even if
After the Dulong City dwarves strengthened the transmission device through runes, the speed of 40 kilometers per hour was already the limit of the Land Cruiser.
Therefore, after many discussions, Nuer simply proposed to re-install the bumper. Anyway, the transmission device cannot be improved, and the fastest will be 40. The extra power is also a waste. It is better to cancel it for weight reduction.
Replace the missing corners.
As for the dismantled new steam boiler, which will be modified to the base of the Sunstorm rocket launcher, Lane plans to change the rocket launcher into a rocket launcher tank. The first chief engineer Dugan-Tiehan, the second chief engineer Urban, the third chief engineer
Kalashnikov completed his own design concept. The four rocket launcher steam tanks will be designed as war machines that can load a large number of rocket launchers and increase the range.
This new type of rocket launcher tank is named "Katyusha" and there are four in total.
As for the energy source of the solar engine, we have roughly figured it out. There are two charging methods for this thing. The first is direct charging, which requires spiritual energy filling or light wind filling. After complete filling, it can travel about 500 kilometers.
Distance, the second type is indirect charging. The instructions sent by Fulgen indicate that indirect charging requires the use of something called the "Grand Plan Slate". Don't think about it, just charge it directly.
Very good, but in the end you still want me to be used as a human battery? Ryan is too lazy to complain about this.
You all regard me as a human battery, right? A power bank, right? A mobile power supply, right?
I seem to have gotten used to it.
Thinking of this, Ryan gently stretched out his hand to embrace Emilia in his arms, holding the Imperial Lady in his arms. They would soon be separated.
Upon seeing this, Talleyrand immediately apologized and said that I would go ahead to explore the way, leaving the space for Ryan and Emilia.
"Lane, you have to pay attention to Frederick's affairs. He is also your son." Emilia is 1.6 meters tall and looks very petite in Ryan's arms. When she saw Talleyrand gone, she immediately changed.
The tone of his voice turned off Ryan's ears: "Do you also want to exert some influence on the matter we discussed before? For example, in White Wolf City?"
"Emilia!" Ryan said angrily: "Karl Franz is still alive! And he's jumping around!"
"Hmph! I don't care, he is your son and my son anyway." Emilia muttered a few words, and Ryan faintly heard her complaining about something. For example, how come the emperor is safe and sound? There is even more on the forehead of the King of Knights.
Veins popped out.
Compared with Lidya Su, Amelia seems to be smaller in this aspect.
His little maid has always wanted to send her son Frederick to the throne of the emperor. She has been working hard to build momentum for Frederick since he was born. And little Frey herself is quite ambitious, and she is even more satisfied as a mother.
Have these thoughts in your head.
After getting along for many years, Ryan knew his little maid very well. Due to her early experiences and her wandering mercenary career for several years, Emilia was very insecure inside. This sense of security was brought by Ryan.
Her protection, spiritual sustenance and having a son made up for most of it, but Emilia was still a little irritated about the uncertainty of the future deep down in her heart, and letting her son become the emperor of the empire was something that the little maid believed could completely solve her worries.
way.
This idea became stronger and stronger as Frederick grew older.
And from a certain perspective, Emilia has a paranoid side to her character.
"How old is Frey this year?" Ryan complained unceremoniously: "He? He also wants to be the emperor? If he wants to get my support, at least wait until he is thirty years old. In domestic affairs, diplomacy, and military matters
Let me be satisfied."
"Thirty years old." Emilia complained: "I will be old by then!"
"You won't grow old." Ryan shook his head: "Emperor Karl-Franz broke through to the Holy Realm level and won the hearts and popularity of the people in this battle. The emperor's authority is now unparalleled, even if he hates him the most
The Nuer and Miden leaders did not dare to disobey his orders. It would be difficult for the entire empire to do so.
If you really think about Frederick, you might as well cooperate with his decree. I can see that Karl is also determined to solve the current situation of the empire. This victory has brought him enough prestige, and some
He can start doing things, but I'm a little worried..."
"What are you worried about?" Emilia leaned on Ryan's body with attachment. The Imperial Baroness had a habit of not thinking about anything when she was with Ryan.
"I'm just a little worried about whether...it's too late." The King of Knights sighed. Karl Franz's battle finally united the entire empire, just like Ryan before Kurona.
Just like defeating Mahhubard.
However, it was too late for Karl Franz to establish his personal authority. Compared to Ryan, it was a full 13 years later!
How many years does this emperor, who is over fifty years old and has been on the throne for more than twenty years, still have to carry out reforms?
…………I am the dividing line for 13 years…………
The person who came to receive the King of Knights and his entourage was Adriana, the female councilwoman of the Sorceress Assembly. This is a legendary sky witch. She originally did not want to come to Britannia to live under someone else's roof, but after
With Veronica's wooing, she now has her own independent wizard tower, which is naturally very nice.
Following Adriana were thirty witch apprentices, almost all of whom were wearing fiery red glory robes, summer shirts, pleated skirts and small leather shoes. Seeing the great Sun King appear here, the witch apprentices were in awe
The light and heat were almost irresistible. They stretched out their hands to hold the skirts in unison, took a step back, half-crouched and saluted Ryan.
Fort Margherita is a castle with a huge area, and it is built on the high mountains of the Gray Mountains. There are several abandoned military camps just outside the castle. They were the camps established here by the imperial expeditionary army, and now they are
Attached to the external training camp for witches, this castle purified by the emperor covers an area of about 2.5 hectares. The main castle is twelve stories high and has three spiers outside, namely the Rose Tower, the Gloria Tower and the Violet Tower.
In addition, there is an astronomical tower built in the castle annex.
Daily necessities, draperies, murals, and even the faucets in the bathroom are decorated with the shape of Gloriosa flowers everywhere in the castle. As for the domestic water supply in the castle, dwarf craftsmen are asked to make it in the valley hundreds of meters high.
, build a reservoir to store the clean water flowing out of the stone crevices, and use the natural power of water pressure to provide water for the entire fort, including the top floor.
"As expected of Veronica, it's a better place to live than me." Emilia, dressed in a maid outfit, took her daughter Rem and pointed everywhere, praising the beautiful environment and luxurious decoration of this castle. The Empire
There was a dazzling light in the Baroness's eyes: "Wow, it's not worse than my Elector's Palace. If possible, I really want to stay here for a while."
"Welcome at any time, Her Majesty the Imperial Baroness." Congresswoman Adriana said with a smile: "We welcome you to check in at any time. In fact, Margarita Castle also provides hotel and restaurant services, you can enjoy it here
Browse a world of magic and fantasy."
"Okay, we're not here for tourism." The steeple door opened, and the twenty- to thirty-meter-high dome was filled with magic chandeliers of various colors. The long carpet was spread dozens of meters away, and dozens of long tables and quilts were laid out.
Putting it all together, Ryan noticed that almost every window in the castle had little lolita staring at the group of them, their eyes were like hungry wolves, and some of the little lolita could not help but lick their mouths and swallow their saliva.
The four Gray Knight recruits were surrounded by the witch apprentices. This was a bit overwhelming for the young people. Ryan did not control it too much, but asked directly: "Where is Veronica?"
"The Speaker is in the Speaker's office in the main castle." The female congressman came up and said, "She is making a magic scroll."
"take me."
"yes."
"Amelia, are you going?" Ryan turned around.
"You're going to discuss things with Veronica. Why should I go? I'll take Rem around." Emilia shook her head.
When Ryan saw this, he did not force himself. The King of Knights greeted Raymond and asked him to restrain his soldiers, and then asked Talleyrand to check the various recent reports of the parliament, and then walked towards the speaker's office alone.
The spiral staircase is very long, and at the end is a shiny oak door. The door is imprinted with the pattern of fiery red glory orchids and bright red roses. A tall stone statue blocks the door. It is a fire demon statue. It only has the upper body and the head.
There are two horns on it, and behind it is a row of fine gold magic transmission lines. When someone appears, the demon statue lights up with flames, and it blocks the road: "Please answer the secret order."
"Secret order?" Ryan was stunned for a moment. Why is Veronica still playing this game?
The King of Knights instantly understood that this was his chief female courtier who was losing her temper with him.
The source still lies with Ciel Trovik. Ryan knew that his decision to let Ciel Trovik inherit the Glory Council in the future had offended Veronica.
"Any tips?"
The voice of the fire demon continued to sound: "Phoenix or fire, who comes first and who comes last?"
"..." Ryan thought for a while: "When the world was born, flame should be the first, and the phoenix should be the crystallization of fire."
"Correct." The fire golem moved out of the way before Ryan could finish what he said, which made Ryan doubt whether it really listened to his answer.
Behind the door is a spacious, beautiful circular room. Veronica almost arranged her office according to Margarita's previous layout, behind a large cherry wood desk that is four meters wide and two meters long.
The female speaker was sitting, lying on the table, with flames and beams of light coming out of her fingertips, and she was making a magic scroll.
Today, Veronica is wearing a set of gold-plated fiery red phoenix and charming diagonal skirt. It is low-cut and backless. There are only two thin suspenders hanging on the tender white shoulders. The two round and full semicircles are
Exposed, her long dark brown hair was slightly combed and fixed with an Ulthuan golden phoenix hairpin. Her sweet and delicate face was covered with light makeup, and her round, almond-shaped eyes were full of seriousness.
"What are you busy with?" Ryan strode in, and he suddenly flashed behind Veronica like a normal person.
"Oh, you didn't even say a word when you came in!" Veronica was startled by Ryan. Seeing that it was Ryan, the female speaker angrily stretched out her fist and hit him on the head: "Why did you come here all of a sudden?
Me? Aren’t you going to be with your Lake Witch, Imperial Lady or Knight Queen?”
"Let's see you." Ryan smiled and put his arms around Veronica's neck, and the King of Knights secretly glanced down.
Well, it's big and white.
Veronica is wearing black suspender stockings today. The stockings have a fiery red Gloriosa flower pattern on the top of the stockings. Veronica's beautiful legs can be compared with Sulia in terms of slenderness, and compared with
For Sulia, who likes to wear pantyhose, the female speaker prefers to wear garters.
Seeing the man looking down, Veronica was angry and amused. She pushed Ryan away from behind. The female speaker's black silk jade feet found her pair of fiery red high heels behind the table, and then she stood up,
He said angrily: "Is this why you came to me?"
"I came to you mainly for two things." Seeing Veronica's cold attitude, Ryan pulled up a chair and sat down: "First, the Emmanuel-class land cruiser is basically ready for actual combat.
Therefore, the plan to retrofit your Light Demon Riding Instruments into the Land Cruiser has matured. Secondly, I hope that the Sorceress Assembly can be prepared. I need your strength for this Orbion Expedition."
"That's it?" Veronica was a little disinterested after hearing this. The female speaker shook her head. She put her hands on her hips, and the golden belt showed her alluring waistline in front of Ryan.
"Why, you don't want to?" Ryan asked with a half-smile.
"Both the Assembly and I are your vassals. Is it useless if I say I don't want to?" Veronica still shook her head. She raised the corner of her mouth and looked helpless: "Anyway, you want us to form a witch group to expedition to Obien. You
It’s enough to just issue the king’s order, why do we need to make a special trip? It’s unnecessary?”
"I respect you." Ryan said naturally.
"Respect me?" Veronica sneered: "If you really respect me? Then can I refuse?"
"I will allocate you 30,000 gold crowns every year." Ryan calmly took out a thick stack of bills: "Besides, you will still have unpaid bills sent to my palace every few months.
I also paid for you, but now, you tell me that you are not willing to go on an expedition to Obien?"
"The expenses in the first few years of rebuilding the parliament were always huge. Everything had to be rebuilt, and I spent all the money." Veronica looked a little stressed, and the female speaker moved sideways to her wine cabinet: "
Besides, it’s not your money… What would you like to drink?”
"It's the country's money!" Ryan said impatiently: "So much money flows to you every year. If Sulia and I hadn't been suppressing each other, we would already have opinions in the palace... Give me a glass of iced cocoa."
"I guessed it." Veronica had already poured the ice cocoa at this time. The female speaker sat down opposite Ryan. She put her long black stocking legs together and looked at Ryan's majestic face now, a little lost: "
I already guessed it."
"What's wrong? Honey?" Ryan was a little uncomfortable being looked at.
"Hey, Ryan, when did our relationship start to become like this?" Veronica sent Ice Coco in front of Ryan: "So utilitarian, so simple, only interests? I will use the parliament to coerce you, you
Are you threatening me with money?"
"Isn't this your choice?" Ryan couldn't help but touch his chin, and the King of Knights laughed: "Since you chose to take over the legacy of revitalizing the Parliament from Margarita, this is inevitable.
Or, we are no longer the little warriors and little witches we once were. I am now the King of Knights, shouldering the expectations of all people. You are now the female speaker, the great witch of the sanctuary, with more than 20 legendary powerful men under your command, and thousands of witch apprentices.
People, we all have a bright future."
"Pfft..." Veronica was amused. The female speaker laughed first, and her mature laughter enveloped the entire office: "Pfft hehe haha~"
Ryan didn't say anything, just looked at her and smiled.
After laughing for about twenty seconds, Veronica stopped smiling. The female speaker picked up Coco and let her long hair cover her eyes.
"Don't you feel a little sad? My dear, I was the one who came here first, whether we went on adventures together, whether we celebrated festivals together, whether we had sex together, or whether we built a new wizard tower, it was all me who came first, but...
…Why do I always feel that as time goes by, my presence and status in your backyard are constantly declining?”
Veronica's voice was without any emotion: "Obviously I have given so much, why do you like Lidya Su the most?"
"This is indeed a question, do you want to hear lies or do you want to hear the truth." Ryan didn't seem surprised at all.
"I want them all."
"Then... the lie is that I like everything about Sulia, especially the noble way she shows shyness and strange expressions in my arms. I feel particularly accomplished." Ryan spread his hands and said.
"...What's the truth?" Veronica frowned, she didn't understand Ryan's taste yet? But it wasn't just Sulia, she herself was bullied like this all day long by Ryan?
"The truth?" Ryan's expression became serious: "The truth is actually very simple."
"The truth is, on the surface, your status is from princess to lord. You started from a little witch and ended up becoming the female speaker, the leader of a force."
"But to me, to me, Ryan Macado, Veronica, your identity to me is that you have changed from a lord to a princess."
"But Sulia, from beginning to end, is my queen, my equal queen."
