PS. The following will involve a part of the plot of 40K. Readers who are not sure about it can watch it patiently. I will try to describe the plot as briefly as possible.
The inside of the banquet became quiet, and everyone was watching this incident.
Everyone gathered around, but most of them looked at Julius unkindly. In any case, it was not what a noble should do to take action directly at the banquet. Julius was a little impulsive.
Only Ryan calmly found the Archbishop of the Ocean Church: "Your Excellency Aldrich, I think the House of Lords in Marienburg has made a very big mistake. The chaos corruption in Baron Edmund has obviously not been purified. On the contrary, he is committed to
Spreading his depraved ideas.”
Before Archbishop Poseidon could answer, Schultz appeared. The Grand Duke of Marienburg said in an angry voice: "I said at that time that Edmund would be dealt with severely, but you all didn't agree. Look at him now.
What a big fuss is going on?!"
The members of the House of Lords lamented his misfortune and were furious. The reason why they advocated not punishing Edmund was also because these big businessmen had more or less unclean things in their hands. Who knows what kind of junk would come out one day?
Does it involve them?
The old Earl Huron's favor was on the one hand, and their self-preservation was also on the other hand.
Ryan focused on the key points of Edmund's remarks, and then he said to everyone at the banquet:
"Here I would like to ask you, gentlemen and ladies, what do humans rely on to survive on this continent? What do humans rely on to prosper? Is it based on what Mr. Edmund said? Cherish life?
Is it because of Mr. Edmund's words of wisdom that he can protect himself? Is it because he puts makeup on his face to scare away the army of Chaos? "
No one dared to answer yes, and no one dared to speak for Edmund.
Because this guy has touched the absolutely wrong area, some nobles may have this idea in their hearts, but at this juncture, they must take a clear stand and even be more resolute than everyone else.
"Absolutely not!"
"Human beings have relied on war, courage and faith to get to where they are today."
"He is a degenerate!"
"Destroy him!"
Everyone at the banquet began to denounce Edmund. When Duke Ivan of the Griffin also asked the Marienburg Councilors about this matter, everyone in the Council of Lords knew what they had to do.
"We will give an explanation to the empire. The souls of the fallen must be completely purified in the flames." Edmund had been beaten unconscious by Julius's furious fist, and his nose bone was also broken.
So the senators "friendly" helped Edmund make the decision, that is, he would be burned at the stake and the title of Baron Huron would be inherited by others.
This result was just so-so, so the Griffin Duke nodded and agreed.
"His Excellency Julius, Marquis of Winford, although we can understand your mood, we cannot accept your extreme behavior. We hope that you can stay calm elsewhere." Similarly, Julius who acted excessively
He also had to be punished, and he was asked to leave the banquet. The knight of the kingdom walked directly outside without saying a word.
The title of the Empire is Baron-Viscount-Earl-Duke-Elector-Emperor, and the title of Britannia is Baron-Earl-Marquis (special title)-Duke-King. It is generally called the first heir of a great nobleman.
It is the next level of this noble title, so both Julius and Sulia can call them marquis.
In addition to the hereditary and non-replaceable titles granted by dukes and emperors, Ludwig stipulated that the titles of military nobles would decrease in descending order, so most of the nobles served in the military to ensure their status, and this is even more true in Britannia. To this day
It's rare to hear that there are big nobles in the Kingdom of Knights who don't know how to ride a horse or hold a lance.
Upon seeing this, Ryan also left the banquet with Julius. Following him were the Holy Grail Knight Jules and his sister Sulia. The female knight trotted out with her long skirt in hand, and her high heels made a clicking sound: "
Brother, it’s my fault! Brother, wait for me.”
"Come here! Julius!" Julius, the Knight of the Holy Grail, was angry. He called Julius over and scolded him, but Julius just lowered his head and endured it silently.
The night in early spring was still very cold. The female knight was very anxious when she saw this, and even blamed herself very much. She said: "Your Excellency Jules, this is all my fault..."
Who knew that Jules and Ryan would say at the same time: "This is not your problem."
"???" The two Holy Grail knights looked at each other, and then Jules said to Ryan: "You tell Miss Aintree."
"Ahem~ This is not your problem, Miss Sulia." Ryan coughed, sorted out his words, and then said: "Yuli's starting point is good. He doesn't want you to be contaminated by that degenerate, but he
The method is wrong.”
"Wrong method?" The female knight raised her head and looked at the man in front of her.
"First of all, he underestimated your judgment. He thought you might have been affected by that guy's depraved remarks. But in fact, I can see that you were not affected by Edmund's remarks. Yuri was too impulsive.
"Ryan frowned, and then continued: "Then, he shouldn't hit people directly. From this point of view, he goes against the teachings of the lady. He just cares about you too much."
"It's because brother cares about me that I..." What the female knight was about to say, Ryan just shook his head: "Everyone must be responsible for what they do. He is already a 26-year-old knight of the kingdom. He has done something wrong.
It's a mistake, and there's no point for you to share the responsibility. You know it in your heart, and Yuri also knows it in his heart."
Sulia stopped talking. The meaning of Ryan's words was obvious. Everyone is an independent individual and must be responsible for their own actions. The female knight did not do anything wrong in this matter. The fault was Julius. He was angered.
I got carried away and took the wrong approach.
"Sir Ryan, please don't take it seriously. My brother only cares about me. He is not that kind of person." Sulia in turn said good things to Ryan for her brother, and the female knight apologized softly.
"I know, the relationship between you brothers and sisters is really good." Ryan showed a smile: "I understand."
"Thanks."

After the night's farce was over, Ryan returned home. The three maids at home had already packed up the things at home. Ryan didn't have many things, and he still had a space ring.
He finally sat in the living room of the house at No. 53 Amberstrasse in Marienburg, dazed for a while.
Last October, he and Theresa came to Marienburg to hunt down Bert.
After that, he experienced a series of things, one battle after another, including many battles of wits and courage with many people in many places. During this, he also slacked off and relaxed briefly, and then faced off against the green-skinned army.
This great battle brought a relatively perfect end to his journey in Marienburg.
There are still many things waiting for him next. He has never forgotten his mission. He knows why he came. There are too many secrets in his heart, but Ryan knows that there is no rush for all this. He has to eat his food one bite at a time.
He has transformed from the adopted son of a Nord country bumpkin lord to the Holy Grail Knight of Britannia, Baron Jean. His popularity is now unparalleled on the continent. Many bards tell his story and his hero.
The feat has been adapted into poems by many artists, and even the high elf ambassador came here to have a drink with him today to express congratulations from the high elf.
It's time to embark on a new journey. Although Marienburg is prosperous, it is not a place to live for a long time. He will go to the country opposite the Gray Mountains. His identity is destined to be difficult to get ahead in the empire, so let's go to Britannia.
!There are opportunities of your own there.
The house will be returned to Schulz, and the Archduke of Marienburg has agreed to keep in regular contact with Lane, and he will cooperate with Lane's actions.
Early the next morning, Ryan packed his things. He had already customized a large carriage. This large carriage could not only hold goods, but also his three maids. Among the three maids, except Amelia,
They basically have no fighting ability, so it is better for them to stay in the carriage.
At noon, the Brittanian army, which had finished their full meal, officially embarked on the journey back home from Marienburg. Although Marienburg is not far from Britannia, it still takes more than ten days to walk.
The knights errant were quite surprised to see Ryan's maids. They didn't think that Ryan's three maids were too many, but they felt that there were too few. These days, which knight's family doesn't have a few maids? They were surprised that there were actually three maids among the maids.
There will be a dark elf.
All the way south, farmers are busy everywhere in the early spring season. Spring plowing is the most important time every year. Whether the harvest of the year will be good or not depends on now. Because of this, the empire lacks enough resources for this war against the greenskins.
The army had to seek reinforcements from Britannia.
After spending a few days passing through Fort Lyman and Colson, where they had fought before, the knights entered the Pale Sisters Mountains.
Today they will camp in the mountains.
"Rangers! Come with me!" People were coming and going in the camp. The knights loudly ordered the serfs to set up camp and cook. At the same time, rangers followed the knights to the surrounding area to investigate the enemy's situation. Along the way, Ryan and
We didn't see many enemies, and small groups of bandits often turned around and ran away when they saw this army, so the road was relatively quiet.
Lane's tent and Holy Grail Knight Jules' tent are in the innermost and safest place. The knights use this method to express their respect for the two Holy Grail Knights. Lane's tent is slightly larger, almost fifteen square meters.
When Ryan completed his inspection, the sky was already filled with stars. When he pulled up the tent curtain, he smelled a strong fragrance: "What is so fragrant?"
"It's toasted bread! Mr. Lane." Amelia put the toasted bread into Lane's hands, and then took out an iron box: "This is roasted chicken."
"Master!" Miranda and Orika also lowered their heads and said, the dark elf was not quite accustomed to his situation.
"Well, you worked hard along the way." Ryan smiled and nodded at his three maids. In the wild, they changed back to their normal clothes, cold-resistant cotton coats and leather pants and boots. The weather in early spring was still very cold, especially
When passing through the mountains, you can still see the white snow of the Pale Sisters Mountains during the day.
After a simple dinner, there was nothing for everyone to do in the dark night but to sleep. Among them, Ryan arranged for the dark elf to sleep next to him out of concern for Olica, while Emilia and Miranda
I slept at the other end of the tent.
Not long after he lay down, an extremely strong throbbing and psychic shock stung Ryan's nerves. The Primarch frowned in pain, struggled to get up, and covered his head with his hands.
"What's wrong? Master?" The camp outside was quiet, with only the sound of burning flames and the voices of the night watch knights and soldiers. Olica was awakened by Ryan's movements. The dark elf's sleep has always been relatively light.
"It's okay, you continue to sleep, I can't sleep, go out and take a look." Ryan pressed Olica's shoulder and said warmly.
The dark elf was a little strange, but she knew that there was nothing she could do, so she could only nod in agreement and continue to sleep.
Lane changed his clothes and walked out of the tent, alerting the knights who were keeping watch: "Mr. Lane? What's the matter?"
"It's nothing, I want to go for a walk." Ryan was worried. He could feel that his blood and bones were resonating strongly. His spiritual energy and spirit were constantly reminding him that something big had happened, but it seemed like
It was like a fog and nothing could be seen clearly.
The Primarch looked up at the starry sky. There were many stars in the night sky, and the boundless starry sky showed splendor and splendor towards Ryan.
"It seems like something big happened?" Ryan muttered to himself.

Travel through the eternal giant subspace storm, through countless galaxies and the void of the universe.
Milky Way, Solar System, Holy Terra.
The Human Empire created by the Emperor, the Lord of Mankind, is facing another crisis of destruction.
The Cadian Gate has fallen.
This planet has always guarded the "Eye of Terror", the link between reality and subspace. With the complete destruction of the Cadian Gate, even greater darkness descended on the entire galaxy.
The Imperium had never seen such a warp storm in its history, terror rocking hundreds of planets, their last desperate calls being received before all communications - even interstellar channeling - were silenced.
Billions of scribes and curators searched for answers. They delved into long-neglected records and even opened the oldest crypts. No explanations or consolations were found, only sifted comparisons. The storm of destruction in the Horus Heresy
The galaxy has been torn apart since then, but humanity has been as divided as it is now only once before: the Age of Strife. The scant accounts of it have frustrated scholars. Little is known about that nightmarish era, but the remaining fragments describe a history
The end period, when humanity was almost destroyed and the few survivors became slaves or degenerated into barbarians. That was the end of civilization.
The beating chaos almost cut the galaxy in half. Endless chaos demonic armies poured out from the Eye of Terror. Countless star regions sent signals for help... and even became completely silent. The other half of the galaxy had even completely lost contact.
In this dark age, in this desperate age, mankind can only pray to their supreme emperor in order to be saved.
But at this moment, a terrible news from the Mechanicus almost drove the entire Supreme Council of Terra and the Inquisition crazy.
The mysterious machinery that carried the Emperor's decayed remains stopped, completely, stopped.
Endless darkness filled the hearts of everyone, and even the bishops of the Imperial State Church, who had the purest and most devout faith, were shrouded in the deepest and most terrifying fear.
Has our Supreme Lord, our God-Emperor, abandoned us?
No, according to the Astropath's report, in eleven thousand years, the light of the Star Torch emanating from Holy Terra has never been as bright as it is today.
The always long and heated meeting fell into silence. Finally, these supreme lords who controlled the empire made a final decision, the most desperate decision.
They asked to enter the palace to meet the saint. (To be continued)
