Chapter one thousand and ninety-three love and greed
Lane is not the Riddler, Margarita Castle is not Gotham City, and Veronica is not Mr. Bruce Wayne.
The man named Bruce Wayne at Afu's place is only a few years old this year and is still receiving basic education.
So Ryan quickly told Veronica what happened.
Before the trip to Ulthuan, there was an incident that triggered the conflict between Llane and Surya. This incident has been described previously. In summary, it was the first time that Surya took on the role of daughter-in-law after the arrival of the Emperor.
With his identity, he bypassed or broke the existing rule system to exert pressure and influence on Ryan, prompting him to change his behavior.
This incident actually ruined Sulia's image, because before this, Ryan had always thought that Sulia was a woman who followed the rules, respected and abided by the rules.
Judging from the storm in Ryan's backyard, Sulia is not a person who would do such a thing. First of all, although Ryan doesn't care much about the fight between dragons and tigers in the backyard, he always controls the situation, and the fights between women are even more serious.
It's like a game, everyone shows off their skills, but the decision-making power and rules of the game are always in Ryan's hands, including the fairy in the lake who sponsored the game. Ryan will give her some preferential treatment at most, but never
The rules haven't been changed for her.
Of course, women are not that abiding by the rules. As Ryan often encounters, they don't speak when asked to speak. Instead, they speak when they are not allowed to speak, trying to interrupt other people's speeches, and trying to bribe the referees privately.
Ryan, or threatening other players, such as Orika and the Lady of the Lake are keen on this, but everything is still within Ryan's control.
Of course, the premise of all this is that Ryan's status and personal ability are very strong, so he has the ability to "I want it all". Generally speaking, most men, including Tai Ritian, are unlikely to be able to do it all by themselves like Ryan.
The power to suppress this group of women who are considered to be among the best in the old world in terms of appearance, talent and status.
In most cases, such a male protagonist who is ambiguous with many people is actually a kind of "pseudo harem". The male protagonist is the trophy of the final victory, the prize, and the target for everyone to compete for. And if there is no such thing as Ryan
If status and strength suppress everyone on the one hand, but are aloof on the other, then the male protagonist will fall into a dilemma. His sense of existence is not strong, but he is indeed the referee, and he decides who wins.
So further speaking, why do many otaku male protagonists have to be set up as "confused, cowardly, cautious, hesitant and impotent men" or "wood, steel, titanium alloy idiots, middle-class straight men"? They are always hesitant, hesitant, and can have invincible bluntness.
Sensitive, ignoring any confession or any show of affection, not even feeling any intrusion, letting them out with righteous words even when they are under the covers, facing all kinds of temptations without changing their expressions or blushing.
The reason is very simple. Isn't the referee's duty just to watch? If the referee leaves the field or gives a decision, how can the story be written? Once the choice is made, it means that the story is about to end. Everyone should admit defeat.
It’s time to retire, it’s time to have a honeymoon.
As we all know, Lidya Su had the last laugh and became Ryan's wife.
But Sulia is different from others. She is essentially independent and autonomous. Her status is noble and is a necessary condition for Ryan to compete for the Knight King. She and Ryan are "enemies". If her wife's identity is not
It can explain the problem, then the Imperial Princess who was canonized by the Emperor himself has raised her status to even more than that of Ryan himself.
She has no need to compete for favor, and Ryan's control over her is very limited, which is why Ryan is always on guard against her, always suspicious of her and unclear about what she wants.
"I have always been a little uncertain and uneasy about Sulia." Ryan continued: "This fear reached its peak when she bypassed me and told her father that she wanted to go to Ulthuan with me. She has become accustomed to the sense of control.
, when faced with this uncontrollable situation, I became afraid of Sulia for the first time."
"You are afraid of her, you have no idea what she wants to do, and you are afraid that you will change from the controller to the controlled one." Veronica nodded lightly, she was envious and jealous at the same time: "But you can't
Suppress her or control her, as you said, she wants nothing from you and is your enemy?"
"Yes." Ryan took the initiative to admit all this, and the King of Knights said in a deep voice: "So I finally made up my mind to find a place and an opportunity for the two of us to talk openly and honestly."
"'Date A Live'? You brought your wife to the chocolate workshop in Lothern?" Veronica felt her heart twitching with jealousy.
"Yes, Date A Live." Ryan nodded with a smile, and the King of Knights finally showed a sweet expression: "I made her shy through dating, and she used her shyness to conquer me."
At that time, Lidya Su's confession was extremely shocking to Ryan.
The Primarch of the Gray Knight never thought about why Sulia would take the risk to break the rules, why would she do such a thing?
She has obviously received everything, the highest level of reward.
Because she loves him, it's that simple.
In order to express her love, Knight Ji did whatever it took. She broke through the existing tacit understanding and order by showing her power and influence, her free will, her firm determination and strong desire. Sulia, who has always been extremely stable and at ease,
She was willing to take such a huge risk, just to break Ryan's heart, just to let Ryan know her love for him. She felt that Ryan was working hard, and she felt that she could help. She wanted to be with her husband.
In order to say she loves you, even the emperor dared to use her!
Ryan felt the sincerity that transcended formats and routines, and felt the hidden heart behind Sulia's courage to break her own principles and existing rules for him.
This strong love even awakened Sanguinius' pure soul.
At that moment, Ryan was completely defeated.
As a guy who essentially possesses strong Malcador cold-blooded thinking and harsh logic, Ryan finally fell.
Just like Kurumi Tokisaki in the original "Date A Live" (Kurumi is the best in the world!), why is Kurumi so popular? In addition to her excellent character design, Kurumi herself is independent and free.
Willfulness, uncontrollability, and elusiveness are also very important reasons. Her behavior cannot be controlled. It seems that she is a teammate with the same goal but often conflicts. If she loses control, she will be curious, and if she is curious, she will be looking forward to it.
Tohka, who is really the first heroine, has already entered the third stage of complete vassalization. Naturally, she seemed a little marginalized and had a low sense of presence in the previous plot.
"I lost..." After hearing everything, Veronica finally fell down. The female speaker leaned on the chair helplessly, her eyes blank: "I lost completely, I am not Suli at all.
I admit defeat to Mrs. Ya’s opponent, and I will never dare to think anything of myself again.”
"This is why Olika commented that you only have little cleverness and no great wisdom." Ryan concluded today's exchange: "You can give the order to start preparations. My dear, Obien's expedition is different from the previous one.
In that expedition, we will go deep into the thick fog and fight those ancient beings, magic is very important."
"When?" Veronica gave in completely, and the female speaker finally understood that she and Lidya Su were not in the same rank at all.
"As soon as possible, the army has gathered in Kurona." Ryan stood up: "Emilia will stay here for the next two days."
"What about you?" Veronica stood up: "Don't you want to stay? I will receive you personally."
"Me?" Ryan suddenly smiled maliciously. He put his arms around Veronica's slender waist and pressed her gently on her desk: "Then, it depends on your sincerity.
Already."
The fiery red phoenix dress was gently lifted up, a beautiful leg wrapped in black stockings with suspenders was exposed, and a beautiful black stocking foot with fiery red high heels was gently lifted up.
She stood up until the instep covered with ultra-thin black stockings was pressed against Ryan's face. Veronica, whose knot was untied, pushed her man embarrassingly with her hand. She quickly said: "Wait...wait, wait,
Don't be so impatient, I have another question! You..."
"Loved me." Ryan answered quickly.
"You... um..."
Veronica's mouth was gagged, and she had no chance to continue. The female speaker had not been gentle with Ryan for a long time. She had been branded with spiritual patterns on her lower abdomen for a long time. She had no resistance or thoughts of resistance. She could only
Sighing unwillingly, Ryan hugged his whole body.
Inside the speaker's office, only the closed door and the bookshelf were shaking slightly.
There is also a strong psychic flame and an upgraded spiritual pattern brand.
"The Speaker will not teach today, everyone will study by themselves."
…………I am the dividing line of shaking and shaking……
One day later, Ryan left Emilia and Rem to continue staying at Margarita Castle. At the same time, he urged Veronica to gather the immediate combat power of the Gloria Council as soon as possible to meet in Kurona, and then left with the people.
to the sorceresses' coven.
"I personally think, Your Majesty, it is necessary for you to beat this female speaker." Talleyrand sat in the luxury carriage, the lame man smiled and said: "Few people can lead such a large organization of spellcasters, twenty
Don't be too ambitious when you have a legendary wizard and thousands of wizards and wizard apprentices."
"She is not that kind of person." Ryan looked at the majestic peaks of the Gray Mountains, and the King of Knights shook his head slightly.
"She has followed you successfully several times." Talleyrand continued. The lame man did not agree with Ryan's idea this time: "People can change. Your Majesty, are you willing to listen to me?"
"Say what you want to say, Talleyrand, but I may not listen." Ryan nodded.
"We can think of the first success as recapturing Mousilon. We can think of it as a breakthrough from 0 to 1." Talleyrand laughed, leaning hard on the ground with his crutches: "A difficult process, usually
The biggest enemy at this stage is not a strong opponent, but a teammate. In order to regain Musilon, His Majesty formed a strong team and won a great success."
"Uh-huh." Ryan said hesitantly.
"After the first success, it is the easiest to win the second success, Your Majesty." Talleyrand continued: "Because the first success has proved that we have an excellent team and the correct guiding philosophy.
Therefore, as long as we maintain this team, maintain the existing chemical reaction, and have excellent running-in, the second success will be relatively easy to come, such as the victory of the Bafeng Mountain Expedition, which is 1 to 2."
"Of course, some unfavorable factors have also begun to appear. The most typical one is the problem of greed for too much. Your subordinates will begin to demand more rewards, higher status and have their own small selfish ideas. You must mediate them.
, suppress them, and with your Majesty's victory and fame, your enemies also began to design tactics against you and find ways to restrain you. For example, Skarsnik once forced the expeditionary force into a desperate situation."
"That's true." Ryan felt that what Talleyrand said was quite reasonable, and the King of Knights couldn't help but nodded in agreement.
"It's already very difficult after the third success. Your Majesty, it's not just the decline in ambition." Talleyrand spread his hands to express his acceptance of Ryan's praise. The lame man smiled playfully: "Because everyone is used to success, and everyone also
Everyone begins to think that they have succeeded. Everyone will want more, and if they are greedy for more, they will continue to upgrade. Many people are no longer limited to asking for higher status and rewards.
, they will start to be presumptuous, start to think that they can't do it without me, start to think that I can do it with me, some people will start to try to challenge your leadership position, and the exquisite plans and rewards given by His Majesty will be taken for granted, and any slightest thing will appear.
Mistakes will be magnified infinitely. To be more specific, Your Majesty, I was not optimistic about your support for the Empire in the battle against Motekin."
"It was really difficult at that time." Ryan sighed.
"For normal people, by that time, it is actually very likely to fail." Talleyrand looked very serious and serious. He said with great sincerity: "Only you, Your Majesty, rely on your unparalleled mental power to surpass the normal."
A leader’s personal abilities and extraordinary charisma,
In order to continue to achieve epic victories like the Battle of Three Kings, this is one of the solutions. You convince everyone, and your prestige and personal ability can be more than one or two levels higher than everyone else at a height visible to the naked eye, because
If it exceeds too much, no one will have anything to say."
"If we don't have your level, then there is only one way left, that is, these people should be replaced. Those who can't keep up, those who start to only think about themselves, and those who start to act unscrupulously and boldly, all of them must be replaced.
." Talleyrand said calmly: "If they are willing to accept it, then replace it. If they are not willing to accept it... Your Majesty, then I have only a few words to advise you."
"Say." Ryan watched Talleyrand make a knife gesture with his hand.
The lame man gently moved his palm down: "Be ruthless with your heart, be steady with your hands, and be accurate with your sword. We are not being ungrateful. We are doing this for the sake of our team and the future of our country!"
"Then it's your turn to take over, right?" Ryan said with a half-smile.
This cunning cripple really never forgets to test me as a king.
"...I can't hide anything from His Majesty." Talleyrand didn't care. The lame man lowered his head, pointed his head at Ryan, and raised his eyes: "Then do you think I am suitable?"
"You don't look very good. I don't think you have a chance."
"How about you take a look again? Look at it carefully again?"
The king and his ministers looked at each other and smiled, feeling like they were close friends in life. Ryan took out the apple sparkling wine he got from Veronica, opened the stopper with a bang, and filled two bottles with the golden wine.
goblet.
"Ding~"
"Come on! Hahahaha!"
"Please! Hahahahaha!"
In the spring sunshine and the peaks of the gray mountains, only the cheerful laughter of the King of Knights and the High-Elf Cripple remained.
In May, the Chivalry army was fully assembled in Curona, preparing to start the second great expedition of Obiun.
At this time, Alisala and her party also arrived at Haimen Pass.
All the chess pieces were in place on Nagashzar's Bone Table, and Manfred watched everything with satisfaction.
The elf chess pieces and dwarf chess pieces are accumulating at Haimen Pass. The three guards of the Badlands have retreated to guard the Eight Peaks Guard and the Iron Guard. The empire's chess pieces have suffered huge losses and the main force is even on the way to the squadron. Britannia's chess pieces are all accumulating in the north of the kingdom.
When Manfred takes action, the most threatening Knight King and his army will be in Obien, and someone promised Manfred that he can guarantee that the Knight King and his army will not come back for a while.
