PS. The game was so exciting! Kroos’s killer kill at the end was great!
The candlelight crackled in the conference hall, and Ryan was thinking about what this important news represented.
"In other words, within a year or two at most, Duke Louis will completely give up on worldly affairs, entrust the title of Duke to Lord Lawn, and go to Fairy Lake to protect the Lady's Holy Land, right?" Ryan was the first to realize this signal.
There is an unwritten tacit understanding among the Dukes of the Knight Kingdom. The Holy Grail Knight can rule his own territory as a lord, but if one of his strong-claimed heirs completes the Holy Grail Trial and is determined to inherit his title, then
This Holy Grail Knight will put aside everything and go to Fairy Lake to protect the holy land.
Normally, a legendary level powerhouse can live for 10-150 years. A legendary level Holy Grail knight who drinks the water of the Holy Grail can live for 170-00 years. If he is a holy knight, his life span is close to 400 years. After drinking it,
After drinking the water of the Holy Grail, one can live more than 600 years.
So you can imagine how many people from the previous generation are hidden among the Holy Grail Knights by the Fairy Lake, and how many old antiques have witnessed the changes of several eras and hundreds of years.
Of course, the Holy Grail Knights do not mean that they can live in retirement for the rest of their lives. In fact, these most elite knights in Britannia have never faced less wars than normal knights. The shadows and darkness from all corners of the kingdom need them.
to solve it.
"Exactly, so at this time, Louis is definitely willing to stand on our side." Francois said seriously: "Richard is not even a Knight of the Holy Grail, and his royal power is destined to be fragile and short-lived."
"Well..." Ryan could understand what Duke Winford meant.
To put it harshly, in the eyes of Duke Red Dragon and Duke Winford, they lacked respect for Richard because he was not even a Knight of the Holy Grail.
Thinking of this, Ryan suddenly remembered something. He first raised his hand to signal everyone to wait a moment, and then took out a gold coin from his space ring: "Wait a minute... Lawn, Lawn Leo Conver
Well, I’ve seen him!”
"This is... the Leaping Lion's Oath gold coin, how did you get it?" Francois saw the gold coin in Lane's hand, and even Duke Winford, who had always been calm, was surprised.
"When I was in the Kingdom of Nord, I fought against the doomsday bull Tavus on Mount Skavel..." Ryan told the two dukes about his previous experience. He calmly explained what happened: "In the end, Law and I
When your Excellency said goodbye, he handed me this gold coin,"
"As expected of the lady's chosen champion!" Francois nodded repeatedly: "Then this matter will be easier to handle. When Louis's position is already biased towards us, and you hold this gold coin, he will not be disappointed.
Support our cause.”
"That's three votes." Bohemond also said in a low voice.
"I have an old relationship with Poseidon Archbishop Aldrich in Marienburg. Maybe we can try to gain the support of Duke Bordero?" Ryan continued, and he took out another badge with a statue of a mermaid engraved on it.
"This is a symbol of the friendship of the Poseidon Church." The voice of the Lake Fairy who selected the winner was very calm, but the huge energy possessed by the twenty-year-old young man in front of them made the two Dukes look at him with suspicion.
"Then that's four votes." Francois couldn't help but admire in his voice: "That's enough. The number of people who objected has exceeded one-third. I've been thinking about how to convince Bo Derek. Since Ryan
You have a friendship with Ocean Church, so it will be much easier to win over his support."
The Duke of Bordeaux has always been a special being among the Dukes of Brittany.
Normally, the knights of Brittany all believe in the Fairy of the Lake, because the fairy brings them the power of faith and the code of chivalry. In Britannia, becoming a Knight of the Holy Grail is the lifelong dream of all knights.
But the Duke of Bordeaux is an exception. The title of Duke of Bordeaux existed before the founding of Britannia. It is said that the surname Bordeaux comes from the ocean. The first Duke of Bordeaux, Marcus
Si is the descendant of the sea god Mannann.
This may not be nonsense. When the Bordeaux family fights on the ocean, the ocean will always protect and protect them. When the Duke of Bordeaux raises the family heirloom "Poseidon Trident"
, even on land, the sea god Mannann will respond to his call, and huge waves will appear from the air and submerge the land.
Therefore, the Bordeaux family's first belief is the sea god Mannann, and their second belief is the Fairy of the Lake.
No one in the mortal world prohibits belief in two gods at the same time, and the Fairy of the Lake never said anything. However, this behavior of the Bordeaux family still makes most of the dukes unhappy. After all, in the eyes of most knights
, The Fairy of the Lake should be the first belief of knights, although Bordeaux may be much better at chivalry than these knights who like to talk.
The current Duke of Bordeaux, Grand Master of the Knights of Poseidon, Bodric, is brave and tenacious, and his strength has reached the peak of legend. The Duke, who is skilled in swords and guns, has few opponents in the territory of Britannia, and this great knight has internal affairs.
His ability is extremely outstanding. Although his duchy occupies a relatively small area in Britannia, the wealth of his territory is second only to the Duchy of Connet in the north and the Duchy of Winford in the south. The Knights of Poseidon
He commands more than 80% of the entire kingdom's navy, and has outstanding knights that are not inferior to other dukes.
The only regret is that Bo Derek, now over eighty years old, has not yet embarked on the road to the Holy Grail to pursue the Holy Grail that all knights dream of.
"With four votes, our King will definitely not be able to judge this chivalry war as a negative or a peace, because there are too many people who oppose it." After seeing the golden mermaid gold coin, Francois knew that the overall situation was over.
Determined, Duke Winford suddenly laughed: "It seems that Richard can only accept the fact that the chivalry army has won."
"This is the truth!" Bohemond muttered, obviously the Red Dragon Duke was very dissatisfied with the king's attitude of trying to suppress this matter.
If the king had not planned to suppress this matter, he would not have stood still until now, and the ten dukes would not have rushed towards the capital. All this shows that the king himself is not satisfied with the result, otherwise the king's
The awards and messengers have already arrived in front of Ryan.
Picking up a glass of red wine, Francois gently shook the bright red wine. The Duke of Winford seemed to be thinking: "So, let me think about it, what would Richard do?"
"First of all, he can't punish you in private, Ryan, otherwise he will definitely alert the Holy Grail Knights and the ladies."
"Then, due to the opposition of four or more dukes, he was unable to declare the Chivalry War as a failure in the Duke Council. Especially at the time of such tragic losses, our King also needs victory to maintain his prestige.
.”
"In the end, no one wants to see the armies of Winford and Bastogne return with great honors. We have captured a large amount of the beastmen's accumulation for more than two hundred years. Our army is well preserved and well organized, with a few losses at all.
It cannot be compared with an army that has experienced blood and fire. The young men have been tempered, the serfs have gained a lot, and the soldiers who have participated in the war will no longer be afraid of the beasts in the forest."
Bohemond also sighed: "After we have received so many benefits, no one will be willing to award us the glory of victory and the primary credit for destroying the Demonic Rock..."
"So, Richard needs a model, a model of victory, and this model will not be Ryan..." Duke Winford's face was full of wisdom. He narrowed his eyes and smiled meaningfully: "Then since glory cannot be released,
If you give it to the living, then give it to the dead."
"The dead are not at fault, and the dead cannot be blamed. Adelaide's stupidity leading to the annihilation of the entire army is not worthy of encouragement, but Angie, who never betrayed the lady and the king until the end of the bloody battle, is not."
Speaking of which, smart people such as Ryan and Birhemond have completely understood it, and most of the surrounding kingdom knights have also understood it.
"Then, Anxi will become this hero, and Richard also needs Anxi to become this hero." Ryan touched his chin, and he understood: "So things will become like this, in order for us to succeed, the Marquis of Anxi
He sacrificed himself during the surprise attack on the Ten Thousand Demon Rocks. He led the Chivalry Army to hold back the Beastmen army and successfully gave us the opportunity to surprise the Ten Thousand Demon Rocks."
"Everything was planned. It was the sacrifice made by the Marquis of Anchi in order to turn defeat into victory after the entire Adelaide army was annihilated. So there is no doubt that the greatest contribution to the destruction of the Demonic Rock belongs to him."
"That's it." Both Bochmond and François set their sights on Ryan.
They all have very clear intentions. The time has come for Ryan to choose. Is this young Holy Grail Knight bound to get all the honors in this chivalry war and become a hero of the entire kingdom?
Or is he willing to give in?
No matter what, the two dukes will fight for him with all their strength.
At the same time, Ryan also began to think about the pros and cons of this. If possible, he certainly hopes to accumulate enough fame to become the number one protagonist in this chivalry war, and become the hero who leads the kingdom to turn defeat into victory.
It’s just that the God-chosen champion of the Fairy in the Lake is deeply aware that some things are far from being as simple as they appear on the surface. As a living person and a living saint, Ryan cannot compete with the dead for credit. Doing so is tantamount to offending the knight.
The other great nobles of the kingdom also had an impact on his reputation, although he was the one who turned the tide.
At the same time, if he insists on fighting and announcing the truth, then he will have to bear the consequences, that is, the dukes will quarrel over his affairs, and the entire kingdom will accelerate the confrontation because of this dispute.
There are many contradictions, and considering the overall situation, this is not what Ryan wants to see. Countless dangers and darkness are approaching. He cannot let the kingdom fall into the danger of accelerating division just because of his own selfishness.
It's not good for his future either.
Moreover, the Marquis of Anchi never betrayed his belief in the Fairy of the Lake. If he hadn't led the knightly army to hold back the elite and main force of the beastmen until the end, Ryan would definitely have no chance to surprise the Ten Thousand Demonic Rocks. Objectively speaking,
It is said that the Marquis of Anchy made a significant contribution to this tragic victory, and Ryan would definitely overturn the table and even cause the displeasure of the fairy in the lake.
Soon, Ryan had the answer. The Holy Grail Knight sighed softly and changed his sitting posture: "It seems that we are going to hold a state funeral for this young Marquis?"
"He should be awarded a first-class Holy Grail Medal posthumously. As for you... we will try our best to get you a second-class Iris Medal." Francois let out a sigh.
He liked and appreciated this young man even more.
This young man has many excellent qualities that many people do not possess. The virtues of knights have been carried forward in him. More importantly, he also has a very excellent talent, that is, political maturity. He knows
What do you want, what can you get from it, and what do you need to pay for it.
Only this kind of outstanding young man is worthy of being the chosen champion of the ladies. He has strong strength, decisive command, unfathomable background energy, and outstanding internal affairs talents.
Of course Francois knew that his daughter Sulia had a lot of contact with Ryan. The Duke always turned a blind eye and acquiesced. Compared with those middle school students who were arrogant and either indulged in luxury or satisfied
The young knights who practiced martial arts with their brains were satisfied with his vassals.
Well...satisfaction in every sense of the word.
Maybe the attitude can be changed a little bit in the future.
"Then how much real money does our King plan to spend in order to shut up our Lord Lane?" Bohemond also showed a smile.
"It must not be a small number, otherwise I would not agree to it!" Still feeling a little regretful, Ryan forced a smile and said: "The fight on the Ten Thousand Demonic Rocks can't be in vain, right?"
"Don't worry, Ryan." Francois's face began to turn serious. Duke Winford and Duke Red Dragon looked at each other and nodded.
"If he wants us to keep silent about this matter, Richard must pay a sufficient price and reward."
"We won't ask for any benefits, they are all yours."
"This is your reward for bringing us the army and destroying the Demonic Rock. You deserve everything."
"Yeah!" Ryan nodded heavily.
This concludes the roundtable meeting.
The next day, everyone set off for Curona. This was Ryan's second visit to the capital of Britannia.
After crossing the Sandnes River, one of the greatest urban wonders of the old world appeared in front of Ryan again. After the group entered the city, Francois and Birhemond immediately rushed to the palace. The Dukes would have a mixed experience of this event.
The chivalry war was characterized and final discussions were made.
Ryan, on the other hand, lives in the Kurona branch of the Holy Grail Knights, waiting for the results to be announced.
The interior of the simple room was clean and tidy, and the living conditions were very good. There were paintings on the walls, carpets on the floor, and transparent glazed windows that turned the sunlight from outside into colorful colors and shined into the room. Ryan let out a breath and pulled the
He sat down on a chair and enjoyed this moment of tranquility.
"Dong dong dong~" Before five minutes, there was a knock on his door.
