PS: Recently, some people have complained about water, but I want to say that this is necessary to sort out the plot and various relationships. If I don’t write about these situations, many subsequent plots will appear inexplicable, so please be patient and add an update chapter here~
The face of the Lake God Witch changed several times in succession. She could neither leave nor go in. She was a little at a loss as to what to do.
"Your Highness Morgiana? Just in time, let's order hot pot and let's eat together." Of course Ryan knew what the Lake God Witch wanted to do here. In order not to appear embarrassed, he said repeatedly: "You haven't eaten yet tonight."
"
"Yes, Your Highness Morgiana." Sulia also followed Ryan's words, smiled generously and said: "Since we are here, let's eat hot pot together, it doesn't matter."
Morgiana hesitated for a while, and finally nodded.
The Lake God Witch originally wanted to come to find Ryan at night. She saw that there were no servants in Ryan's room, so she planned to knock on the door and come in.
She never thought that because it was his own castle, Francois did not arrange for his servants to guard outside.
Morgiana was wearing a Baixi classical silk dress today. She accepted the invitation, sat down on the other side of Ryan, and said calmly: "Family eating together?"
"Yes, please, Your Highness Morgiana." Ryan filled the Lake God Witch with red wine. Morgiana's attention was obviously not on eating. She just took a few bites at random, and looked at Sulia's eyes from time to time.
On the body.
This made Sulia feel very uncomfortable. The female knight had stayed at Ryan's house several times and was not completely ignorant of the relationship between Morgiana and Ryan. She smiled at Morgiana gently and pleasantly.
He smiled and said nothing.
She has the full support of the Fairy of the Lake, and even Morgiana cannot threaten her status. Ryan's wife is destined to be her.
Morgiana could feel the kindness and determination expressed by Sulia, and just as Sulia thought, the Lake God Witch could not resist the decision of the Lake Fairy, so Morgiana, who had great authority in this country, could only
Neng nodded toward Lidya Su, stopped looking at her, and ate together.
The appearance of the Witch of the Lake made the hot pot feast a lot less intense. With her present, many things could not be said. Ryan saw this, and so did Francois. Duke Winford simply
The topic shifted to the Lake God Witch: "Your Highness Morgiana, why did you come to Ryan at this time?"
"I came to him to discuss matters related to Mousilon." Morgiana said without blushing and without a beating heart: "As we all know, the army of knights led by the Duke of Cornwall was still unable to capture Mousilon.
Long..."
Morgiana told Francois's family what she knew, what she had said before about the Knight of the Black Holy Grail.
"Msilon is indeed a problem." Francois nodded quietly after hearing this: "But my highness, the kingdom is exhausted now, and there is no way to consider recovering Mousilon anymore."
"But the threat of Musilon is always there. If we don't attack Musilon, we will have no way of knowing what Arkhan did to Mahubard. We also have no way of knowing what the vampire Earl Manfred and the
What is Lich King Arkhan's next plan?" Morgiana expressed her opinion: "This is to sit back and wait for death."
Ryan and Francois both agree on this point, but it is no longer realistic to attack Mousilon at this time.
"The goals of Arkhan and Manfred are actually very clear. The purpose of everything they do is to resurrect Nagash, the Lord of the Undead." At this time, Jarrod gave his own opinion.
The knight put a piece of cooked beef into his bowl: "So we just need to think about what is needed for Nagash's resurrection?"
"First of all, what we can confirm is that the resurrection of Nagash requires several expelling shells that can carry a huge amount of mana, just like Her Highness Morgiana, and there are quite a few. According to the known information, except for the Goddess of Mercy,
In addition to the archbishop, there are also God-chosen priests from other sects who have disappeared." Ryan thought: "Then we can be sure that the targets of vampires will definitely be these God-chosen ones walking in the mortal world."
"Yeah." Morgiana also agreed with this.
"Then... there are the Nine Books of Nagash. Regarding the Nine Books of Nagash, all we can know is that the one located in the Principality of Belion has been taken away by Mahhubard. As for the other nine
According to the book, we can only know that about fifty years ago, Arkhan once summoned an army of undead to attack Brunswick, the capital of the empire.
After serving as the Queen, he took the opportunity to sneak into the underground temple of the Church of Justice and stole one of the nine volumes. This volume was the one in which Charlemagne used the war hammer "Gael Maraz" in the "Battle of the Reik River".
Captured after Nagash was shot in the head." Ryan continued: "Besides the nine volumes of books and sacrifices, what else is needed to resurrect Nagash?"
After analyzing this, Francois's eyes flashed: "Do you think the Rod of Nagash is one of the important magic weapons?"
"The Staff of Nagash? It's very possible! I remember that the staff is now placed in the La-Messena Monastery in the Gray Mountains?" Morgiana's green eyes shone brightly: "That's where you fought.
Defeated Heinrich Kemmler, the great wizard of the undead in the Sanctuary, and prevented Kemmler from stealing the Staff of Nagash."
Almost fifteen years ago, Francois, Duke of Wynford, became famous thanks to the battle of Messenaar Abbey. This battle took place in the church of Tar, the well-known god of nature, in the Gray Mountains.
La Mesnar Monastery, this monastery was first attacked by a Skaven Gray Prophet and robbed a treasure, and then Kemmler
The undead army and Francois's knight army arrived one after another. In the three-party battle, the rat people were the first to collapse. Then the undead army was defeated by the knight army led by Francois. Francois chopped off Cam with a sword.
After squeezing half of his head and regaining the stolen treasure, Kemmler was hacked to the point of unconsciousness by François. Since then, he has suffered a mental breakdown, his strength has been greatly reduced, and he can only be forced to retreat.
This treasure is the "Staff of Nagash".
"Yes, that staff is too powerful. I have ordered the Prophet of the Lake God to re-seal it in Mesnar Monastery and send heavy troops to guard it." Francois nodded: "The staff of Nagash cannot be damaged.
Even if it can be sealed, we cannot seal it in a densely populated area, so sealing it in a monastery is the best option."
"So the Rod of Nagash must also be an important component in resurrecting Nagash." The female knight Sulia said softly. She turned to Francois and said: "Father, that Kemmler must also be Nagash."
An important executor of his own plan to resurrect himself."
"Indeed, that bastard Kemmler is now hiding in the Gray Mountains, and most likely in the Blackstone Fortress. He is secretly corrupting the eastern border of Britannia." Francois's eyes were filled with confusion.
Cold anger, he once vowed to
Kemmler killed: "However, we are helpless against the Blackstone Fortress. It is located deep in the Gray Mountains, with steep terrain and strong city defenses. We only have a few trebuchets here, and our elite troops are all cavalry. How can we possibly break through such steep mountains?
fortress."
Everyone frowned. Yes, the knights could not show strong combat effectiveness in the mountains, and the only siege weapons in Britannia were trebuchets that were difficult to transport and troublesome to assemble. So for more than ten years, Francois
There is nothing he can do about Blackstone Fortress. All he can do is drive away the undead, but cannot completely eliminate them.
For a moment, the only sound left in the dining room was the "gurgling" sound of the hot pot, and several people present were thinking.
"Maybe we can talk to the empire about this matter. They probably don't want to see a vampire fortress in the Gray Mountains, right?" Julius tried to say.
"No, there is a problem here. Human beings cannot settle in the Blackstone Fortress if it is recaptured. Then this fortress will most likely become a ghost town. It is only a matter of time before the vampires reoccupy the Blackstone Fortress." Francois shook his head repeatedly: "This is terrible.
No, and the imperial army is not good at fighting in mountains."
"If the empire can't do it...then, what about the dwarves?" Ryan's eyes lit up. He took Sulia's little hand under the table and said to Morgiana and Francois: "How about we ask our dwarf friends for help? We and
The dwarves have united to regain the Blackstone Fortress. Since we cannot settle in the Blackstone Fortress, how about we simply give the dwarves a favor?"
"Giving it to the dwarves? Hmm~ That's a good idea. It's better to be occupied by dwarves than to be occupied by vampires. As long as we draw good boundaries, form alliances, conduct trade, and provide food supplies, it will be difficult for dwarves and humans to conflict.
, but will the dwarf agree?" Francois thought about the pros and cons.
"Yes, there is a dwarf and his clan who need this castle very much." Ryan smiled: "It is very much needed. He is already a homeless king, and he will never refuse."
The next dinner time was spent in discussions.
"I think it's feasible. Everyone happens to be here these days." After repeated deliberation, Francois and Ryan agreed on a complete plan. Duke Winford was very happy: "I'll leave the discussion with the dwarves to you.
, Ryan, you have always been good at communicating with races such as dwarves and elves."
"No problem, it is the dwarves who want to ask us for this matter, not that we urgently need the dwarfs' help. Although the dwarves... are stubborn and want to save face, as long as they are worded properly and have a sincere attitude, the dwarves will definitely not refuse, and the dwarves will definitely not refuse.
We are not really idiots. We have helped them and they will always remember it in their hearts. If we need help in the future, the dwarves will also lend a helping hand to us." Ryan said with a smile.
The female knight heard that Ryan had so easily solved the problem that had troubled her father for more than ten years. Her graceful and beautiful face was full of smiles. She held Ryan's arm with little stars in her eyes: "Lian, my husband, you
There really is a way."
"It's not that I have a way, Sulia, but I just have this opportunity." Ryan reached out and brushed Sulia's long golden curly hair that smelled of iris: "My wife."
The female knight's face turned red, but her tone was very serious: "Lian, you are great, not the opportunity. Only you thought of these things, not even father."
"Hahahaha~" Francois smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Sulia, you are really... I didn't expect it, so don't tell me! Save some face for me in front of Ryan!"
"Father...Aren't Ryan and us a family anymore?" The female knight's face turned red as she whispered.
"Hahahaha~" The dining room was filled with laughter.
…………
The next day, the empire and Lane formally signed a contract for the employment of Ugor cavalry and an export contract for the opening of a small number of mixed-blood elf war horses and increased wood elf medicines.
As soon as the contract was signed, Boderick, Duke of Bordeaux, immediately stood up and called everyone who was about to leave: "Everyone, please wait a moment."
"I would like to introduce someone to you." (To be continued)
