Proof of the Sun King

PS: I added a new chapter today, but it may not be there tomorrow.

The two discussed what had happened recently, and Ryan asked about Oliver's group.

"I have already arranged all their words. I have helped Grey Blade to cancel their mercenary group in the mercenary union, helped Blood Axe to solve the problem of their possible downgrade, and paid most of the remuneration, Wilt. They currently rent a peasant's longhouse with the remaining dozen or so people, and plan to spend the Winter Veil in the city, and then consider going elsewhere after the spring." Teresa took out a contract and handed it over. In Ryan's hands: "This is their mercenary contract. I have verified it and signed it."

"And this." Teresa took out a bag of gold coins and handed them to Ryan: "This is the money Oliver gave us, I don't want my share, I'll get yours for you ."

"You don't want your share? It's not like you." Ryan took the purse and weighed it. There were at least one or two hundred gold coins, and the White Wolf Knight calmly collected the money.

He knew that Oliver and Mats, two businessmen, had suffered heavy losses on this trip. Taking their money at this time was a big blow to them, but Ryan took the money with ease and without any psychological burden.

The reason is very simple. If Teresa's spells were not used to repel the Beastmen war gang again and again, and if Teresa and Ryan hadn't dealt with the doomsday bull by themselves, this group of people would have already become a delicious meal in the belly of the Beastmen.

For Ryan, of course, he dealt with the doomsday bull because of Uric's oracle, but from another perspective, he also contributed to the retreat of the merchants.

"Then, I have met Albert Baker, Earl of Mjordenhaven, a middle-aged man of about forty years old, whose title of Earl of Mjordenhaven was held before the Great Holy War The Nord Land has been passed down to the present, so he is a real earl, not a lord of the Nord Kingdom. Albert Baker is characterized by being like a tax collector, and there are many women. It is said that there are female courtiers in his castle. There are as many as a dozen or so, and there are several people in the outer room outside." Teresa took out another document and handed it to Ryan: "This is a nobleman different from Villard. Not from the war, he prefers to study the taxation of the port and wharf rather than the war, and is satisfied with his quiet rule.

"So this is a lord who is inclined to internal affairs?" Ryan touched his chin. After a few days of outdoor activities, thin stubble had grown on his chin.

"According to the current information, this is indeed the case. Albert Baker is not incapable of fighting, but most of his military operations over the years have been to destroy robbers and beastmen tribes. He rarely goes to the battlefield in person, preferring to appoint himself. Although it is rare, when he goes into battle in person, he will ride a half-blood elf warhorse to the front in full armor and use a lance to fight the enemy." Teresa regarded herself as a black jade. With her long hair pulled behind her ears, the woman was leaning halfway on Ryan's shoulders, her expression was lazy, and she had a unique and moving style that ordinary people could not see. The light fragrance of lavender spread into the man's smell.

"Also, here is the list of knights in this town, Mjordenhaven has two kingdom knights and five ranger knights stationed, their lists are all here, I haven't found any particularly famous or particularly powerful, not even a single one. He is a member of the Knights." Teresa was happy when she saw that Ryan didn't dodge subconsciously, and her tone became more cheerful: "So from the current point of view, we will not stay here for a long time, and we should not have too much trouble with them. The need for more contact.”

"Well, you're right." Ryan looked calm on the surface, but in fact he was secretly surprised. He was not surprised by Teresa relying on himself, but by her ability to gather intelligence and arrange various affairs. .

"This is the tax information of this city. This city can pay more than 3,000 gold coins in taxes to their lords a year. Mjordenhaven has a registered population of more than 3,000 households. As the largest port city on the west coast of the Nord Kingdom, the largest The amount of mobilization is five hundred standing troops and two thousand conscripts."

It took only one day to collect all the information on the entire city. Sure enough, the women from Jialan can be called long-sleeved dancers. If it is Ryan, even if he is a kingdom knight, it will take at least three days to do this.

"..." Ryan gently pushed away the sorceress leaning on his shoulders and stood up from the soft sofa. Seeing him stand up, the sorceress also stood up subconsciously, followed behind him, gently asked, "What's wrong?"

"Thinking about it carefully, I think this mission is really a failure." Ryan shook his head with a wry smile: "I set out from Winter City to bid farewell to my adoptive father, and it has been a ten-day period now. Not only has there been no gain, but it has also dragged me down. Oliver and the others, do you know? That doomsday bull led his war gang to find us after being notified by Belt."

"But it's not your fault. Chasing evil is what we should do. If we don't chase Belt, he won't do these things?" Teresa walked behind Ryan and expressed her opinion : "The effect of the Fallen Hunter is like a snowball, if you don't react early, it will become more and more destructive, at least our efforts have forced him to escape from Nord, at least we have eliminated two Beastmen Beastmasters in the journey ."

"But it's not enough, it's far from enough. The only basis for success is to catch or kill Belt, not to make up the numbers with these meaningless things." Ryan shook his head: "We were slow at the beginning, if We were not held back by the Beastmen Warband in Mein Forest, and we had a good chance of catching up with Belt in Kalzenhaven."

"You are right, we are too passive, this may be my fault." Teresa finally admitted her mistake generously: "I should have joined you from the beginning, instead of being angry and thinking that I must do better than you. Good and choose to separate, the blood axe keeps me safe, but it drags us down."

"Heh." Ryan sneered. He never expected those mercenaries to help. As for those wandering knights? Judging from what Ike has done, this kid is more like a philistine mercenary, but also like an opportunistic, well-rounded bandit leader. He never thinks Ike is a knight, he is more to get along with senior mercenaries way of dealing with him.

Moreover, he was able to record the account that he was coerced by him.

Ryan once had an extremely vicious thought in his mind.

If he chooses to leave the sorceress and the mercenary group behind during the encounter in the Mein Forest, let them hold the Beastmen, and then rush to the port overnight, he will probably block Belt.

But he quickly threw the idea out of his head.

First of all, he is a knight. As a white wolf knight, if he does not observe the eight virtues, he will be no different from those wandering knights who are greedy for money and **** for profit.

Secondly, as the heir of that person, he has unparalleled pride in his bones, and he doesn't disdain to do such a rude act unless he has to.

Just thinking about it, the blood axe mercenary group has only had a dozen people from the full 50 people. They have also made terrible sacrifices to protect Teresa. The next words are not easy to continue to say, and Now that Teresa has realized her mistake, it is not easy for him to dwell on this issue, so the man stretched out his hand and pressed the woman's shoulder: "Sit down and talk."

"You stand up, and you sit down." Teresa smiled brightly, like a plum blossom blooming in the middle of winter.

Ryan had an illusion, and the entire room was illuminated by her smile.

This smile makes people fascinated.

Emmm...In an instant, Ryan had the urge to "little heads command big heads", and his old face turned a little red.

So the two returned to the sofa. The difference was that Teresa simply kicked off her high heels and sat on the sofa with her legs bent. Her slender Danfeng eyes first looked at the man and then at herself. Suddenly, He smiled and said, "This is the first time sitting on the same sofa with a man."

"Uh... You don't think I'll take advantage of you." Ryan replied casually with some embarrassment.

"No... I've always felt that we don't have to be so outwardly between us." Teresa stretched out her pale fingers with cardamom nail polish and tapped it in Ryan's palm: "You always think I'm deliberately posing A cold look, that is in front of outsiders, we are people who can trust each other with our lives, I don't mind this as a woman, why are you embarrassed as a man?"

Ryan thought to himself, as if the congresswoman Garland didn't mind, and he didn't suffer any embarrassment.

So the white wolf knight, who had been cautiously peeking at the woman's beautiful body and beautiful face before, gradually became bolder and bolder.

A woman has amazing insight into where a man's eyes are looking, but Teresa doesn't care.

What Ryan didn't know was that Teresa was of course a normal woman. After her menstrual period ended, she would naturally have emotional changes due to changes in her menstrual cycle.

In short, she is more willing to be closer to men these days.

As for which men are worthy of being close to... Does this need to be said?

After making an appointment to have dinner together in the evening, Teresa spent an hour specializing in makeup, and then spent another half an hour picking clothes. Under the guidance of Dietlinde, Teresa carefully recalled Ryan's preferences. , and finally chose this outfit.

Sure enough, facing the man's unstoppable gaze, Teresa felt very satisfied. She had always been confident in her beauty.

Hmm~ What am I thinking about?

The woman's face, like a ripe apple, suddenly turned crimson.

She began to understand what kind of feelings she had for the man in front of her.

"Why did your face suddenly turn red?" Ryan had no idea what the woman was thinking, but he knew that he couldn't interrupt at this time, so he waited patiently for a while before speaking.

"No, it's nothing, by the way, do you remember the mercenary who took care of me during the trip, Emilia?" After figuring out what she was thinking, the sorceress let go of the burden instead, and she moved towards the man again. Getting closer, almost half of his body leaned on Ryan's body: "Don't you think it's a little strange?"

"What's so strange?" Ryan was a little uncomfortable.

"Why do you think this teenage girl who walks alone is clumsy when it comes to taking care of menstruation?" Teresa just wanted to change the subject.

But Ryan suddenly thought of something, and then showed a mysterious smile: "Yes! A girl who lives independently in the wild, a woman who has been a mercenary for many years, is proficient in cooking and medicine, and is literate and proficient in arithmetic, why? Maybe it's so ineffective in taking care of people? So, think about it, what could be the reason?"

"Two possibilities, first, she is afraid of me, she is afraid that I will be bad for her, then either she has magical talent, she is afraid that I will take her to the sky castle to be a wizard apprentice, or she has a special physique and is afraid I'll experiment with her." Teresa held up her first finger.

Ryan stretched out his hand and pressed his fingers down: "It's illogical, as a daughter of a businessman and fleeing, she can't be as afraid of becoming a wizard apprentice like those daughters of aristocrats, and she can get your protection right. She couldn't ask for it. Similarly, a special physique is possible, but the probability of this situation is too low. She has been acting with these mercenaries for two years. If there is a special physique, there is no reason for the mercenaries not to find out. Originally a woman was in It is very eye-catching in the mercenary group, if there is still a special physique, she will definitely stay for a long time."

The lush slender fingers briefly touched the rough hand of the man, and Teresa subconsciously trembled, but she did not break free.

Because the feeling is not bad, she can feel the wonderful touch produced by the fusion of the magic in her body and the energy in Ryan.

The two energies are attracting each other.

"Then there is a second possibility. This girl has a secret on her body, and she doesn't want others to know it." Teresa stretched out her second finger: "Remember when we finally separated at the gate of the Alpine fortress?"

"Well, remember, you let me come back alive, I promised, and I did it." Ryan withdrew his hand and folded his chest.

"That's not what I'm talking about, you know? Before you came, I told Oliver and Wilt to escape, and I'd be left alone to face the Beastmen War Gang, but at this time, Emilia didn't leave... "Teresa told Ryan that the mercenary gave her the sword.

"Gift? After the matter is over, is her sword with you now?" Ryan touched his chin.

"No, after the matter was over, she didn't mention the gift of the sword again." Teresa shook her head. She changed her posture, shifted her body sideways, leaned on the sofa, and showed her beautiful legs directly in front of Ryan. : "This shows that this sword is very important to her. It is completely believable that the sword she said is her family heirloom, then she herself has a secret."

"Yes! She has a secret, and it's a huge secret!" Ryan said very seriously, but the smile in his eyes became more and more obvious.

"Is she a demon?! Or an undead?!" Teresa was very strange: "Impossible? If that's the case, I can't feel it."

"Neither right." Ryan stretched out his index finger and waved it, and then said solemnly, "The real answer is that she is beautiful, and she is no different than you."

"Impossible! It's not like I haven't seen her face... Wait, what do you mean?!" Assemblyman Garland was about to refute, but she immediately understood what Ryan meant.

"Her appearance is very likely to cause trouble for her!" Ryan squeezed his chin with his hand: "She seems to have used makeup and other means, and she is very skilled. Ordinary mercenaries can't see it, even if you can see it. Since she is indispensable, I will do my best to help her keep her secrets, but outsiders are naturally different, and her appearance is likely to cause her trouble!"

"Then it all makes sense." Teresa's doubts were put aside for the most part, but then a new question arose: "How did you know that? And...she's really beautiful?"

"Because when I was looking for someone~www.wuxiahere.com~ I carefully observed and identified." Ryan stared at the sorceress's eyes: "Beauty often brings trouble, especially between women and women. , Jealousy often makes people unrecognizable, she doesn't want to provoke you, am I right?"

Teresa was speechless, the jealousy between women is really hard to explain.

Forget it, what do those low-level people do? It's enough for Ryan to believe that I'm not that kind of person, Teresa thought, trying to change the subject to avoid a possible quarrel.

"...Speaking of which, Ryan, your sword...is also your family heirloom?" The sorceress suddenly brought up a topic she had always been interested in.

Because at any time, Ryan will carry the sword behind his back. Even if he eats dinner and chats with two people on the sofa tonight, Ryan just puts the sword on the big wooden table within reach.

"...Want to know that much?" Ryan's eyes flashed with a smile.

"Can you tell me the reason?" For some reason, Teresa looked at the man like this. She was secretly dissatisfied, she didn't like the way Ryan still had many secrets in front of her, and she wanted to know more about this man.

"This sword?" Ryan stretched out his hand towards the wooden table, using his psychic energy, the one-handed sword soared into the air and flew into Ryan's hand.

Zero-level trick, the hand of the mage.

"Yes, this sword, can you tell me in detail?" The sorceress's eyes were as bright as moonlight. She immediately turned over and sat up, wanting to hear Ryan's secret.

"Oh, I'll talk to you someday when I have a chance." Ryan shook his head: "The relationship between us is not time to talk about this."

"You just need to know that this sword is the only thing my father left to me."
