Looking up at the starry sky is a dish that looks a bit dark and scary from the outside, especially the several fried fish that are staring at the sky with their heads pointing to the sky, which is quite scary.
But seeing Morgiana's expectant expression, Ryan could only choose to use the knife and fork. Privately speaking, Morgiana had that kind of relationship with him. Gongzhen said that Morgiana was his superior and the leader of the entire country.
The Holy Grail Knights were all loyal to Morgiana, so looking at the Lake God Witch's expectant eyes, Ryan nodded with a wry smile: "This dish looks a bit scary."
"That's how northern cuisine is. This dish is easy to make, simple, and the ingredients are cheap. If you don't have sardines, you can have herrings." Morgiana adjusted her skirt and sat next to Ryan: "Try it.
, I can guarantee that the taste will never be unpleasant."
After eating a few bites, Ryan found that the taste of this dish was quite good. He understood somewhat that it was not unpalatable to look up at the stars, but the presentation was too poor.
At the end of the dinner, Morgiana served another dessert, which was also the famous Yorkshire pudding in northern Brittany.
At this time, the sky has fallen into the night, and the bright moonlight shines on the valley where the Fairy Tower is located in the lake. It is always filled with fog. The valley surrounded by moonlight and fog is filled with grass and flowers. No matter the season, no matter morning or evening, flowers are always there.
It's in full bloom here, and the valley is dotted with fluorescence.
The Lake God Witch's long dress was touching the floor. She held Ryan's arm, and the two of them walked in the valley. By the way, they chatted about the recent political situation in the kingdom. Ryan wanted to leave after dinner, but Morgiana was very "considerate" and said that you might
She needed a walk to eat, so she insisted that Ryan come out and walk with her.
"Knight Commander Eugene of the Knights of the Holy Grail in Curona reported to me that most of the northern dukes support Raun as the next king of knights. In fact, after Richard appointed Raun as regent, Richard has basically stopped fulfilling his duties.
The duty of a king." Morgiana said to Ryan: "Since
Since Lawn began to preside over the political situation, the situation in the north has obviously improved. The towns and villages destroyed in the barbarian invasion are slowly being repaired. The escaped slaves have returned to where they belong in the security order. Some knights have gone on expeditions.
The army returned home to replenish the number of knights who died in battle."
"I know this. The empire has temporarily entered a period of stability recently. The northern barbarians still have at least three or four years of recovery after the failed invasion. The harassment of the greenskins has always been limited to the Principality of Carcassonne and the Principality of Bastogne. This
It’s a good opportunity. I plan to wait until next year’s spring plowing is over, and François and I will form a large coalition to attack the Blackstone stronghold.” Ryan also told Morgiana of his plan.
"Heinrich Kemmler, he is a famous necromancer who was once a human." Morgiana nodded. She took Ryan and sat down in the pavilion in the valley, feeling the cold wind blowing on her body.
It feels like Heinrich Kemmler's past was introduced: "He was once an outstanding human mage. That was before the savior Ludwig established the Royal Academy of Wizards and before the Great Holy War began.
It’s over.”
"Yeah." Ryan indicated that he was listening, but Morgiana just said the beginning of the sentence and smiled without saying a word, her sharp eyes staring at Ryan.
You know what to do, right?
Ryan fully understood what Morgiana meant. He picked up the Lake God Witch by her waist, put her on his lap, and motioned for her to continue.
Morgiana was taller than Emilia, about 1.65 meters. She was held in Ryan's arms and leaned against his chest. Only then did the Lake God Witch hold Ryan's hand with satisfaction and continued.
: "Since the empire at that time adopted an attitude of exterminating and arresting these wizards, Kemmler only
Being able to choose to stay in the Border Prince Territory, Kemmler's excellent magical talent not only allowed him to quickly become a powerful wizard, but also made him understand one thing, that is, human beings' short life span is destined to fail to allow him to master magic and access it.
The limits of magic, so Kemmler made a fateful decision."
"...I'm no longer a human being?" Ryan said with a smile.
"This statement is a bit strange, but what you said, Ryan, is generally correct." Morgiana snuggled comfortably in Ryan's arms, and her bare feet under her long skirt swayed back and forth, which illustrates the choice of the first choice of the Lake Fairy.
Good mood: "In order to prolong his life, Kemmler began to study undead magic day and night. When he was forty years old, he could single-handedly awaken an entire army of undead and make them obey his orders."
"After the available knowledge of undead magic could no longer satisfy Kemmler's needs, he began to lead his army to plunder religious sanctuaries and wizard towers everywhere, and developed in a series of wars, but his enemies also became more and more powerful.
More and more, in order to defeat this terrible necromancer, the border princes sought support from the empire and formed a huge army. They defeated Kemmler and his undead army in the Battle of Thousand Skulls, and were forced to...
Kemmler left the Border Princedom and wandered with an undead army in the Gray Mountains. During his wandering, Kemmler found an artifact he wanted, the Staff of Nagash, which was stored in La-Messenna.
In the monastery of Le, you will know what happened next. Francois led the knight army of the Duchy of Winford to defeat Kemmler in the Battle of La-Maisonnare. In the key duel, Francois
One sword cut off half of Kemmler's head."
"You can cut off half of your head and you won't die..." Ryan complained: "Sure enough, this undead wizard's strength is extraordinary."
"After being severely wounded, Kemmler frantically tore up all his magic scrolls, released all his magic power, forced back the siege of the knights and the pursuit of Francois, and escaped alone into the depths of the Gray Mountains.
The injured Kemmler was greatly reduced in strength and became delirious and crazy, but when he was conscious, he never gave up and came back to try to regain the Staff of Nagash." Morgiana held Ryan in her hands and placed it on her
The big hands on the body tell the story.
"In fact, four years after the battle of La-Messinaire, he once again gathered an army of undead to try to attack La-Messinaire. Due to fear of Francois's existence, Kemmler changed his way to Ai
Soloron Forest entered Britannia, but the outcome was that his undead army was wiped out again. It was only because the climate was winter and the wood elves lacked the assistance of the tree elves that Kemmler
Barely escaping, Kemmler is now lurking in the blackstone stronghold north of Karak-Breeze Castle. It was once a very strong dwarf fortress, but the dwarves' continued decline in population is doomed to make them unable to survive among the greenskins and ratmen.
It's good enough to defend Breeze Castle during the attack." Morgiana said with a hint of sarcasm in her tone: "The stubborn dwarves are unwilling to leave their home, even if they are threatened."
"Even so, we still cannot underestimate this great undead wizard. Now that more than ten years have passed, Kemmler must have formed a huge undead army. He is just hiding in the Blackstone Stronghold, waiting for the opportunity.
"Ryan thought about the cause and effect, and he was a little strange: "But I don't know why, in the previous series of wars, he had the opportunity to come out and stab him in the back, but he was always quiet, and there was never any movement in the Blackstone Stronghold."
"Kemler's mind is sometimes sober and sometimes in a trance. He has lost the ability to grasp the opportunity of fighting." Morgiana replied casually. The Lake God Witch only knew about Kemmler so much: "Maybe he is planning something.
, in short we must be careful.”
After chatting for a while with Morgiana in his arms, Ryan took out the pocket watch made by the dwarf from his arms. It was a gift from the dwarf engineer Dugan Tiehan. After looking at the pocket watch for a while, Ryan knew that it was already eight o'clock in the evening, and he should
Went back.
Morgiana naturally noticed Ryan's actions, and the Lake God Witch's golden eyebrows immediately knitted together, and she turned her head away: "Are you in a hurry to go back and spend the night with Sulia? She looks at you very closely, isn't it at night?
And set up access control? If you come back later, you won’t be allowed to enter the bedroom door?”
"That won't happen. Lidya Su is not strict with me in this regard." Ryan thought it was so sour, and he quickly explained: "I just agreed with Lidya Su that I would go back after dinner.
, I can’t break my promise.”
"Then let me send a message to your Sulia, telling her that you won't be going back tonight?" Morgiana was still working hard.
"Morgiana~ I have some things to deal with when I go home tonight... Or you can go out with me? There are still a lot of empty rooms in the winery. Let's go out and stay for two or three days." Ryan reached out and caressed Morgiana gently.
He felt helpless, Morgiana's little temper was violated, so he had to coax her: "I will stay in the winery for this period, and there will be no outsiders in the winery."
"Go out with you? I'm not the hostess of your winery, Sulia is." Morgiana said in a strange tone: "Here, you belong to me, outside, you belong to Sulia."
"Why am I like a ball?" Ryan complained: "Kicking it back and forth between you and Sulia? Do I also have a contract of betrayal with your badge and Sulia's badge stamped on it?
Can ownership be transferred at any time?”
"Pfft~" Morgiana was amused by Ryan, and it took her a few seconds to make a decision: "Okay then."
"Sylfane!" The Lake God Witch waved to the grove in the valley. The unicorn Hilfane stepped out of the grove. Its sharp horns were sprinkled with moonlight, and the whole body was pure white.
It is Morgiana's exclusive mount. When Morgiana was betrayed by the tree spirit, it was the injured Sylphan who guided Ryan's direction.
Following Sylphan, there was also a gryphon.
This griffon is already as big as a cow. It has the head of an eagle and the body of a lion. It has a silver head, sharp eyes, the golden hair on the body has become thick, a pair of sharp claws pressing directly against the ground, and brown wings spread out.
When it opened, it screamed happily when it saw Ryan and Morgiana, flew to the front of the pavilion, and stretched its head over.
Morgiana stretched out her hand and stroked the gryphon's head: "Imperius is gradually growing up. Let it grow for another year or two, and it will be able to go to the battlefield with you as a mount."
"Uh-huh~" the griffon Imperius cried out. It stretched out its tongue and licked its golden hair, rubbed its head against Morgiana, and then asked Ryan to reach out and stroke it. This griffon usually
It was trained by Morgiana and Ryan, and occasionally Sulia was allowed to ride it. When it saw Ryan coming to see it, it flapped its wings happily, opened its mouth, and a blue-white lightning ball was in its mouth.
Condensation.
"!!!" The griffin spit out a bolt of lightning that shot straight into the sky, and then it flapped its wings and flew to the other end of the pavilion. Through the secret training of the Lake Fairy, this griffin already had the ability to attack with magic.
"Let's go out." Ryan carried Morgiana onto Sylphan.
"Hmm." Morgiana possessed Ryan and kissed her on the face, then sat sideways on Hilfaen. Ryan also rode on his pure-blooded elf war horse Putao. When Putao saw Ryan coming up, he neighed funny,
Then he stretched out his front hooves towards Imperius and made a strange gesture.
The gryphon seemed to be provoked. It ran a few steps quickly, spread its wings and flew into the sky, and then followed the footsteps of Ryan and Morgiana.
…………
The next day, Earl of Glamorgan, early morning at the winery, in the third-floor office.
In Ryan's temporary office, Ryan is sitting behind the sandalwood desk, Lake God Witch Morgiana is sitting next to Ryan and listening, Countess Sulia is still resting, and the dark elf maid is standing behind Ryan.
Orica and Morgiana's eyes met the smell of electric sparks when they looked at each other. Orica looked contemptuous and contemptuous, while Morgiana looked jealous in her anger.
A nobleman sat opposite Ryan and reported to him the situation in the winery. He was like a middle-aged gentleman, wearing a decent tuxedo, a black beret, and a single round-framed eye fixed with gold wire: "I
The earl, the new grape varieties Cabernet Sauvignon and Pinot Noir have been sown and cultivated, and the famous grape variety Cabernet Sauvignon imported from Wynford has also been sown.”
"Very good." Ryan sat behind the big wooden table. He took the winery's financial report and took a quick look at it: "Well done, Pinot. You've worked hard these days."
"It is my honor to serve the count." The middle-aged gentleman bent down.
Jean-de-Pino, a wine master of the Winford court, replaced the deceased Durand as the manor steward of the vineyard under the jurisdiction of Lane. He currently manages the winery in an orderly manner. This wine master is extremely qualified.
A person who is also an important member of Sulia's dowry servant group.
Ryan is actually somewhat reluctant to hand over the winery to Sulia's people, because Sulia's power has penetrated into all aspects of his territory, but when it comes to wine, the Principality of Winford and the Principality of Bordelao produce the entire
The best wines of the Old World.
This kind of thing is better left to professionals.
After listening to a series of reports in detail, the butler Katzenberg walked in from the outside: "My count, Belegar-Ironhammer, the king of the Angrond clan, has arrived, and he wants to see you."
"Well, I understand, then...Pino, let's get here first today." Ryan waved his hand to the brewmaster to go down: "Please ask King Belega to come in."
"Yes." The manor's butler retreated.
Two minutes later, Belega walked in: "Boy Ryan, the first group of my tribe has arrived here. You are responsible for arranging their food and accommodation. This time a group of elite rangers and dwarf veterans are here. Are you interested?
Do you want to take a look?"
"Let's go, let's talk about how to capture the Blackstone stronghold for you and your people." Ryan stood up from behind his seat.
"Very good, dwarves like humans like you who speak directly and are straightforward, not as coy as pointy ears."
