Eight hundred and ninetieth eight chapters shy goddess
The Cave Paradise of the Ancient Saints indeed has magical power. As soon as the Enterprise and the Landuin left the waters near Ulthuan under the escort of the high-elite fleet, the entire weather became very cold.
After a sudden change in decoration, from the simple and practical minimalism of the dwarves to the gorgeous style and complicated decoration typical of the high elves, the Lady of the Lake renovated the King's Suite on the Enterprise and moved in as a matter of course.
Ryan did not stop her and Lidya Su's design, because it was not an important matter in Ryan's opinion.
The King of Knights had nothing to do and fell asleep after lunch.
I slept from 1pm to 4pm.
It wasn't until Ryan heard the sound of Sulia talking to the Lake Fairy in the living room outside that he reluctantly got up from the bed. The weather was very cold, and it was bone-breaking cold above the sea. The natural temperature in the room was also very low. Although Ryan was not afraid of the cold,
, but at this time, everyone wants to stay in the warm bed for a while.
And the king has been a little weak lately.
Happy, happy every day, Ryan spreads his limbs to make a "tai" shape, lying on the soft bed, thinking about what to do next.
The next step should be to accumulate strength, continue to deepen reforms, promote industrial transformation, establish a new industrial belt headed by the Mousilon Industrial Belt, build a complete industrial system, carry out industrial upgrading, and ensure the stable development of society.
The general plan is to build high walls, accumulate supplies, and train elite soldiers.
Lane is ready to continue to promote those reliable and useful people from the serf class as free people, strengthen and expand the power of free people, yeoman farmers, workers, small traders, low-level bureaucrats, and now the entire free people class in Britannia
He only recognizes Ryan as the King of Knights.
We will train elites from the free people to form a new army. At the same time, we will continue to suppress and select the knights and nobles. Ryan closed his eyes and thought, first of all, he must force the big nobles to give out more benefits and limit their privileges.
Then we will ban some incompetent little nobles, send them all to Araby, and arrange a holy war to see how many reliable ones can be left.
Well, let those fair-weather friends (referring to the Grand Masters of the Knights of the Arabi Expeditionary Force) make arrangements.
Alas, the life of a knight king is often so simple and unpretentious.
And boring.
As for the northern knights and nobles headed by Lawn, who had just barely breathed a sigh of relief from the previous series of wars, Ryan's current headache is the southern knights and nobles headed by Francois, Berhemond and Bodrick.
These knight nobles were the first die-hard supporters of Ryan and the first people to place bets on him. To a certain extent, it is not an exaggeration to say that they are Ryan’s base, especially Francois, this cunning and cunning man.
The old guy not only married his daughter to Ryan, but also touched Ryan all the way across the river and reaped all kinds of dividends. The Principality of Winford also relied on Ryan's talent to become the most prosperous and prosperous country in Britannia.
A powerful principality.
But now these people have gradually evolved into a vested interest group. Ryan thought to himself, it depends on whether Francois and the others are aware of it. Since they have benefited, they must follow my route and policy in a down-to-earth manner, otherwise
...Don't look at the fun now, be careful about making a list in the future!
The King of Knights showed an evil smile. He hugged the pillow and rolled twice on the bed. Then he clamped the quilt between his legs. After thinking about it, he thought it would not happen.
First, Bohemond's internal affairs ability is worrying, but this does not mean that the Red Dragon Duke does not understand things. On the contrary, the old Duke, who is close to the demigod at the peak of the Holy Domain, knows very well how much he has. Since the rise of Ryan, he has other
No matter, as long as he sided with Ryan and the Lady of the Lake, he didn't have to worry.
Then Duke Bodrick and his eldest son, Baron Fedmund, combined their interests in sea trade with Ryan to the point where it was impossible for them to cut off their own financial resources. They gave up such huge profits from ocean trade and various shipyards because of their brain problems.
Large orders.
So François was left.
Ryan thought about it carefully and felt that Francois would not be against him. At most, it was just a partial exchange of benefits.
Because in this world, the situation is different. The first is that Ryan's personal martial arts is so strong that the power belongs to him. The second is that he has the unconditional support of the Fairy of the Lake and the Lake God Witch. The third is Fran.
Sova himself should know better, my father-in-law
Although he is cunning and cunning, he is still a Knight of the Holy Grail at the pinnacle of the Holy Realm. His personal virtue is unquestionable. When Kemmler invaded Britannia, he also stood up to defend the Monastery of La Messenel.
He knows clearly what is most important.
After thinking for a while, Ryan finally decided to get up.
"Ryan, are you up?" In the king's suite, Sulia was sitting on the sofa chatting with the Lake Fairy. The female knight was wearing a cross-button white-collar shirt and a pink hip-hugging skirt. Under the long skirt,
Slightly thick gray unicorn velvet pantyhose wraps her long legs.
Today, the Fairy in the Lake is wearing a Snow Love Song Azur Rabbit plush sweater and a purple hip-covering skirt. She has turned her original moon-white long hair into gold. Under the hip-covering skirt, she looks exactly like Sulia.
The beautiful legs were wrapped in gray unicorn velvet pantyhose. If Ryan guessed correctly, his two wives should be wearing the same style of stockings.
These stockings are still bright silk, with a faint fluorescent reflection on them.
As soon as she saw Ryan coming out, the Lake Fairy immediately blushed, grabbed the blanket on the sofa and wrapped herself, huddled behind Lidya Su, and said softly: "...Good afternoon, Ryan."
"What's the matter?" Ryan thought to himself that the Lake Fairy was really weird. Ever since she got married, she was really afraid of looking at Ryan. As soon as the king sat on the sofa, the Lake Fairy immediately fled on the sofa.
He moved a few times and hid behind Lidya Su. He wrapped himself in a blanket and turned into a purple potato dumpling, not daring to look at Ryan.
"I will definitely wake you up if something happens." Sulia couldn't help laughing when she saw the Lake Fairy looking so shy. She patted her side and motioned for Ryan to come closer and sit next to her.
After Ryan got closer, Sulia simply stretched out her hand to pull out the Lake Fairy hiding behind her and pushed her into Ryan's arms. The Lake Fairy was so ashamed that she buried her head in Ryan's arms: "Sulia, don't
, don’t do this.”
With Ryan's soft and fragrant jade in his arms, the King of Knights secretly stretched out his hand to rub oil on the beautiful gray stocking legs of the Lake Fairy, and also touched her curled up stocking feet. The Lake Fairy's slender feet were small and cute, and they were also painted with oil.
Pink nail polish, five pieces
The jade toes that were as beautiful as suet and jade were simply works of art, especially the hazy stretch of gray fluorescent stockings between the fingers was even more alluring. The King of Knights was in a good mood, and he said to Sulia: "The high elf's
Have the gifts been counted?”
"After counting, the total value of the gifts purchased by the Phoenix Royal Court for us is about 300,000 gold crowns. If you include the 10,000 gold dragon coins, the total value is about 550,000 gold crowns." Sulia smiled.
Nodding, she took out a pamphlet. The little stars in the female knight's eyes kept flashing: "I really made a lot of money this time."
"The high elves are really rich." Ryan sighed with the soft goddess in his arms.
"Not yet...it's all yours yet." The Lake Fairy buried her head in Ryan's arms: "Mine...just use it if you need it."
"Hahaha, okay, okay." Ryan couldn't help laughing. The King of Knights lowered his head and kissed the fairy in the lake gently on the lips. The goddess became even more shy. She stretched out her small fist and punched Ryan's chest several times.
, and then lay still: "Lidya Su is here, you can't bully me!"
"There is still some time before the tide of destruction comes. Next, we must return to the country to continue deepening reforms and preparing the army." Ryan ignored the words of the fairy in the lake. He said to Sulia: "I don't know what we will arrange before leaving.
What is the situation of a series of things."
"Laun and Morgiana will solve the problem." Sulia thought for a moment, the female knight leaned on Ryan's shoulder and said very relaxedly: "Father, they will support you as always."
"I...I will always support you." The fairy in the lake said softly.
The door to the room suddenly opened, and Olika, who was wearing a black and white maid uniform, pushed some fresh vegetables, seafood and meat in from the outside. The dark elf seemed a little unhappy: "Master, you must also take care of your close friends.
The guards and those dwarves!"
"What's wrong, Olika, what happened?" Ryan asked curiously. Olika never expressed her opinions on these things, so why did she suddenly say this today?
"Belega gave birth to a good son." Orica reluctantly let go of the cart, and the dark elf maid told what she had seen.
In short, the little Thor Green-Iron Hammer, a group of mustachioed dwarves, have obtained a lot of "artistic portraits" and "artistic picture books" of high elves in Ulthuan during this period, all of which are of female elves.
Picture, as we all know, the high elves can be called masters in this regard, and their restrictions are not as strict as those in the old world.
So this group of mustaches became "traitors" and secretly obtained a batch of art photo albums, which they now sell everywhere on the Enterprise.
What made Olica speechless was that many of the knights and old guardsmen who accompanied the team on this expedition actually paid for them, and they gathered in groups to take a peek, and occasionally made exclamations of surprise.
and complimented her, and was noticed by Olica who happened to be passing by.
Orica originally didn't want to care about this matter, but she was a female elf anyway, so she had no choice but to come back and talk to Ryan.
"..." Ryan really didn't know what to say.
"How about a little rectification?" Sulia responded quickly: "We don't want to prohibit soldiers from holding such things, but we don't allow them to be made public, otherwise they will be confiscated?"
"The main reason is that there is almost no private space on the ship." Ryan said something fair. The Knight King shook his head helplessly: "This kind of great expedition is indeed a kind of torture and test for the body and mind."
Seeing that Ryan had already characterized the matter and essentially agreed with her opinion, Lidya Su followed suit and said, "Why don't you go to the ship for inspection? It's not convenient for us."
"Okay." Ryan agreed.
In the evening, after dinner, Ryan inspected the Enterprise and asked the soldiers to restrain themselves. Occasionally, just take it out for private appreciation. What's the point of gathering a crowd to watch?
After the patrol, Ryan returned to his king's suite.
As a result, Sulia, the Lake Fairy, and Orica had all changed into special outfits and were waiting in the bedroom. Seeing Ryan appear, Sulia smiled slightly, with a charming face and gentle sea-blue eyes.
With deep meaning, Olica smiled charmingly and licked her lips.
Only the fairy in the lake wrapped herself in a quilt, revealing only a pair of beautiful blue eyes. The goddess stared at Ryan, with shyness and expectation in her eyes.
Ryan suddenly felt a little weak, his face turned green, and he was about to retreat, but the bedroom door had closed automatically.
"Lian, don't think about running away!" Lidya Su smiled lightly and motioned for her husband to come over: "Don't forget, you and the lady are still on your honeymoon now!"
Ryan nodded helplessly, it seemed that he couldn't escape this night's troubles.
Damn it, it will take at least two months to return to Britannia. As the King of Knights and the Primarch, I will never admit defeat!
…………I am the dividing line between following a strategy and never admitting defeat……
At the same time, in December of the year 2513 of the Imperial Calendar, in the old world, in Curona, the capital of the Kingdom of Britannia, the Palace of the Knight King.
The regent of the kingdom appointed by Ryan, Duke of Connet, Lawn-Leo Cornwall, is sitting in the palace working.
Compared with the high-spirited time when he competed with Ryan for the throne, Lawn has become more restrained and calm now as regent. The Mathubad Rebellion dealt a huge blow to him, but fortunately the lady forgave his sins, and the king
He also trusted him and made him the regent of the kingdom.
Lawn knew very well what Ryan wanted to do, which was to appease the knights and nobles in the north with his tolerance and preferential treatment, implying that the king would treat all nobles in the kingdom equally, regardless of north or south.
This move is very effective. The knights and nobles in the north have suffered heavy blows in the previous series of wars, and Ryan is surrounded by southern nobles. They have always been worried about whether they will be excluded from the inner circle of the Knight King's court.
, now that Lawn is the spokesperson and regent, the knights and nobles in the north are relatively at ease.
But what followed was that Lawn himself had to face the political demands and pressure from the northern nobles.
For example, regarding the matter of Obien, although Ryan did not agree with Obien's expedition, Duke Taubot of the Principality of Ele-Angoulan, Duke Adehad of the Principality of Lyonnais, and his own Conner
The northern nobles, led by the local knights and nobles of the Principality, the Holy Grail Knight De Leones, are willing to fight Obien again and again, especially when Ryan is not around, their requests come to Lawn again and again.
At the table, he even emphasized that it doesn’t matter if the king doesn’t want to fight, we will fight ourselves!
This gave Lawn a headache.
What about the Regent's own thoughts?
Looking at the gloomy weather outside the house and the large patches of snow in the palace, the bare trees and the mountains in the distance shrouded in white snow and clouds, Lawn frowned. He knew that deep down in his heart, he also wanted to beat Obien.
of.
Why?
Because Lawn did not participate in the Great Expedition to the Eight Peaks Mountains, and after the Great Expedition to the Eight Peaks Mountains, those who participated, whether they were nobles, free people or serfs, all won generous rewards and formed their own identities from the Great Expedition.
This sense of identity was nicknamed the "Bafeng Gang" within the court.
The problem with Lawn is that he did not participate in the Great Expedition. Firstly, he did not receive any benefits, and secondly, he did not receive glory. This resulted in his lack of confidence as a regent. For those who have made numerous achievements, gained rich harvests, and gained face and honor,
The nobles of the Bafeng Gang automatically became shorter.
This is also the reason why the northern nobles basically want to fight Obien.
And what's even more terrible is that it's not just the nobles who want to fight, everyone from freemen to serfs wants to fight.
Why? Because they want to rise!
Now after Ryan's reforms, the serfs and free people who had been suppressed for thousands of years finally saw a bright channel for advancement, and that was war! All the surviving serfs who participated in the Bafeng Mountain Expedition were all promoted to free people! And from then on
A total of one or two hundred free people were promoted to become knights! In addition, there were even Old Guards who received the highest honor of drinking the Holy Grail!
How could this not make the entire class of serfs and freedmen overjoyed!
Who wouldn’t want to be a glorious Old Guard and Knight?
I can! I can! I also have a chance!
Serfs and freedmen were even more enthusiastic about war than knights.
Everyone wanted to fight from top to bottom, which made it difficult for Lawn to handle.
While the regent of the kingdom was still having a headache, an attendant came in from outside.
"My Lords, the Dukes, and Her Highness Morgiana have arrived at the palace one after another, preparing for a meeting! Also, Ms. Aurora Trovik, the head of MI7, said she has news she wants to tell you!"
