Proof of the Sun King

Chapter 72: , Sea Breeze and Waves (Part 2)

It is indeed a long and boring time to stay at sea for five days. When returning to his room at night, Ryan noticed that Teresa was reading a book, so the man walked up and sat beside the woman: "What are you reading?"

"I'm looking at something left over from the Wizarding Empire." Teresa saw Ryan coming, so she leaned into his arms deliberately. Ryan neither refused nor accepted, but let her, It made Teresa feel very happy, so the sorceress simply leaned against his arms: "Are you interested in learning about it? There is a reward!"

"What reward?" Ryan asked curiously.

"...Go and wash yourself, and then I'll tell you." Teresa motioned for the man to take a shower in the cubicle.

Fresh water and hot water are precious resources in the ocean, but it is not difficult for Ryan and Teresa to obtain fresh water. After Ryan cleaned himself up, he found Teresa sitting on his bed, a woman The window of the cabin was opened, and when she saw Ryan coming out of it, the woman's eyes flickered incessantly, and she motioned for Ryan to sit beside her: "Come and sit."

The woman's purple high heels were placed under the bed, and the man sat on the bed: "Where's the reward?"

"Don't worry..." Teresa got into the man's arms and sat on his lap: "Do you like it? This is the reward."

"I don't think I can say I don't like it." Ryan hugged her gently, and the two of them just leaned against the window, watching the waves rolling in the dark night.

After a while, Teresa said leisurely: "Exploring the ruins is very important to me, and it involves my father."

"Your father?"

"Well, my father." The scent of lavender came, and Teresa sighed: "My father... disappeared into the ruins."

"I'm sad." Ryan expressed his sadness.

"This matter has nothing to do with you... Although many years have passed, my mother and I still hope that my father is still alive. We both believe that a person as powerful as he is not so easy to die." The sorceress shrank into the man's arms. He shrank, as if to absorb some warmth: "So, the exploration of Polis must continue."

Polis, located in the Tazir desert, was once the capital of the human wizarding empire, and now all its former glory is buried under the ruins, whether it is the Garland Council, the Imperial Royal Wizarding Academy, or another major spellcaster in the mainland. The organization of wizards, the Wizarding League, is trying to unearth the mysteries and treasures left in it. However, the ruins under the ruins are extremely dangerous, all kinds of terrifying evil creations and alchemical corruption are saturated with terrible ruins, and there is a serious magic imbalance. In that magical place, sometimes a chaotic wind can instantly wipe out an army, and it is possible to restore all physical and magical power to a desperate traveler in an instant.

"Your father... how long has he disappeared in the ruins?" Ryan thought about it for a while, and then took the initiative to speak.

"Twenty years." Teresa sighed deeply, this time was indeed too long.

"Then I have to tell the truth, unless your father has amnesia or simply escaped and never returned home, otherwise, even if he is still alive, he is no longer your father... He has become something else It's gone." Ryan said without hesitation.

It stands to reason that he should comfort the sorceress at this time, saying something like "your father is sure to be fine" or "you will definitely meet again", but he doesn't think it is necessary, the sorceress is not a fool.

"I know, but if you live to see people and die to see a corpse, even if he becomes something else, my mother and I will end his pain with our own hands."

"You know best."

"Okay, rest, Ryan, I'm not going anywhere tonight, but you're not allowed to do anything else." Teresa took out a pillow.

"You bother me even more, Teresa."

"Well... well, you can touch what you like... but you are not allowed to do anything else..." The voice became smaller and smaller until it was barely audible.

"It's almost..."

Then there was the sound of the two people being covered by the quilt, and the thin breathing covered by the waves.

Early the next morning, Ryan stood on the deck, enjoying the sea breeze. A lot of acquaintances came. Half-elf ranger Estelle, Alfred, Lops and others he knew were all on deck superior.

The half-elf was obviously not very used to the boat ride. Ryan saw that his face was very bad, so he took the initiative to chat with him: "Ace, you don't want to continue to be Mr. Matz's bodyguard?"

"That would have been a deal, my friend, the forest told us not to stay in one place for too long, Nord is too cold, if it wasn't for Mr. Matz's high price, I would definitely not have chosen to go with you. Such a dangerous journey." The half-elf covered himself with a hood, and it was winter and it was very cold.

Due to the constant power of the sea **** Mannan, the ocean will not freeze before December. The current time is the beginning of November, and the shipping can still operate. After the ice freezes in December, it will wait until the next February in Nord. The coastline will thaw.

"It was indeed a very dangerous journey. We almost died in those few battles. After that, I met the four-armed bull demon by myself, and the journey ended, and we encountered this terrible encounter again. ." Ryan spread his hands, this series of battles made him suffer a great test, but it also made Ryan gain a lot.

In any case, Nord's journey is over, and the next destination is Marienburg. Ryan has four gods' gold coins alone. He is thinking that he may need a foothold and a cover to cover himself in Marienburg. true purpose identity.

Estelle looked up at Ryan, and suddenly said in a low voice: "I admit that you are a warrior, Ryan, I admire your fighting ability and willpower. The forest brings us sharp vision and excellent shooter instinct, but It took away our arm strength and powerful magic."

Ryan sat next to Estelle: "There is always something to give."

"Mr. Lane, are you planning to go to Marienburg?" Lops was extremely bored alone. He was not the paladin Alfred who could spend a day with a holy book by himself, a young wanderer. The knight likes to be lively and various activities. After hearing that there is a passenger ship going to Marienburg, this guy forcibly squeezed up and said that I would also go to Marienburg together.

"Why am I still on this passenger ship if I don't go to Marienburg?" Ryan thought to himself that this young man's conversation skills were really lame, so he complained mercilessly.

"Hey, I just want to know if you need entourage." Lops touched the back of his head and laughed.

"I don't need it for the time being, by the way, Estelle, do you know who the current Elf King is?" Ryan still asked Estelle.

"I don't understand which one you're talking about? The Forest King? The Phoenix King? Or the disgusting Witch King?" Estelle said puzzled.

"Hey, have the forest king and the sorcerer king changed during the time since the establishment of the empire? I will definitely ask you about the Phoenix King." The wood elves and the dark elves' kings are forever the same, only the Phoenix King can Change.

"What you said about the Phoenix King... In fact, our forest had nothing to do with Assur, but we all know the current Phoenix King, his name is Finnuba." Estelle nodded: "He is in two or three hundred He visited our forest years ago. At that time, the king of the forest, Orion, gave the friend who came from afar the warmest reception, but our king refused to return. Later, the phoenix lord named Finnuba He will become the next Phoenix King."

"'One Piece' Finnuba?" Teresa appeared beside Ryan, and the sorceress took Ryan's arm very naturally: "There is a lot of news about him, in the great holy war one hundred and fifty years ago It was the Phoenix King who got in touch with His Majesty Ludwig. He dispatched the high elf great magister Tegris to lead a team of high elf mages and a team of Hess swordsmen to aid the empire. They played an extremely important role in the Battle of Sand, and the Meteorite summoned by Tegris alone destroyed several regiments of Chaos Demons."

"After the war, the empire and the high elves concluded a trade contract, and Tegris officially stayed in the capital of the empire. It took more than 20 years to establish the Imperial Academy of Wizards and wizards before returning to Ulthuan." The sorceress explained this passage History speaks out.

High elves are the crown of the continent in terms of soldier quality, navy level or spellcaster background, but the low fertility rate and long time to become a talent limit their ability to send troops and military strength, especially in the thousands of years with the dark elves. In the War of Despair, the war power and population of the High Elves have fallen into a serious decline.

Their army is still the strongest in the world, but it is no longer invincible. Their navy is still rampant on the sea, but it is no longer easy to divide troops and conduct dual or even multi-line operations at the same time.

With the economy and productivity declining and not expanding, one of the pillars supporting the high elves' economy has become trade with humans. Humans like high elves and various luxury handicrafts, spices, high-end foods and various magical items. Elves need a lot of raw materials and ores from humans.

"By the way, Ryan, what do you know about this?" the sorceress asked curiously: "High elves are not easy to deal with. Except for a few strong human beings, they don't treat us as human beings."

"Fort Marim is the main trade point between the empire and the high elves. When we get there, we will definitely deal with the high elves." Ryan shook his head.

In Nord, he is a knight of the kingdom and can investigate more freely, but in Marienburg, it is not the case, it is a very chaotic territory, his knighthood is useless, but his strength and prestige are useful.

Just have to wait and see.

"A'Fu and I... In short, when we get to Marienburg, let's find a place to live first, and then slowly start investigating." Looking at the blue waters, Ryan made a temporary summary.

…………

At the same time, news of the victory in the championship matchup spread across the continent.

Marienburg, the largest trading center and largest port in the old world, has a large amount of gold and currency flowing into this port every year, but very little outflow. Countless young people who are eager for opportunities and wealth continue to come to this place.

The entire city has several districts, each of which is comparable to an independent city. The deep-water docks that can carry millions of tons of displacement are constantly in and out of large ships. The city is located in the cursed swamp at the mouth of the Rick River. The city established on the island in the middle of the Rick River Triangle was connected to the Coastal Road, allowing its merchants to enter the empire by land.

People who have seen Marienburg say that this is a giant beast that devours gold and sea water.

The permanent population of Marienburg is about 150,000, but the actual population of the city may be 500,000 or more. Since the "Savior" Ludwig allowed Marienburg to become independent 150 years ago, The city seems to have been freed from its shackles, developing extremely rapidly in a crazy and morbid way, with more buildings rising every day, on top of existing buildings, even on bridges. And the shallow water area, every day criminals dig deeper tunnels in the hope of smuggling precious items through them, the entire city's originally planned blocks have become blurred, and the influx of more people has gradually made Marienburg unstoppable. Just a city, it is more like a large city circle.

The aristocrat now ruling Marienburg is the Grand Duke of Marienburg "Lender" Vander Cooper-Schultz, a great nobleman in his fifties who may be the richest man in the world, and his blood It is also very strange. In essence, he is an imperial man, but his family crest is an iris flower that has deep roots in Brittany.

On the high castle, Vandergouber-Schultz, Grand Duke of Marienburg, who is in his fifties, is sitting in his splendid office, carefully examining the IOUs.

The names of many great nobles in this world can be seen on the IOUs, especially the IOUs from the Dukes of Brittany. The IOUs in this world cannot be denied, because every IOU in Schultz’s hands contains No noble can deny the divine power that has been justified by the God of Justice.

"Your Excellency Behemond still owes me ten gold marks, Mueller, do you have any news from your side?" Schultz rubbed his eyebrows. The scrolls were full of divine power, which seemed to make him Some dazzling.

The courtier named Mueller immediately stepped forward and told the duke: "Your Excellency Berhemonde said that you need some time."

"Okay, tell him to settle the balance before Winter Veil, but if it is delayed beyond Winter Veil, I will charge interest."

"Understood, Your Excellency Duke, the Empire is pressing for this year's defense expenses." Courtier Muller immediately wrote down the Duke's order~www.wuxiamtl.com~ The money must be given, and Karl Fran should be notified as soon as possible. Your Majesty, please send the army to fetch it. The Duke also nodded. Marienburg has to pay a "protection fee" to the Empire every year to ensure its independence and safety. In exchange, if it encounters an enemy that cannot be faced, the Empire will send an army to protect the city. City.

"Also, according to the news from the front line, the werebear tribe that was raging in Nord was defeated. The reason for the defeat was that a young white wolf knight killed the famous bear tribe chief, Chaos Champion Birui in the championship duel. Grid." Mueller pulled out a new record.

"Championship showdown? Interesting, Nord still has this kind of warrior?" Schultz touched his chin with interest, his bushy beard was carefully groomed by the Duke, and it was bright and clean: "Young white wolf knight? Could it be the big one? Hammer or something?"

"Yes, Duke, that young man is none other than Sledgehammer Ryan. According to our sources, he is sailing to Marienburg."

"He's coming to me? Strange, he can win the championship match, doesn't Nord or the Empire reward him with a title or something? Someone who can fight like this is not a serf, and there is no reason why no one invites him." The duke was a little bit. strangeness.

"Ryan is a white wolf knight, and... the Convent of Saintess issued a statement that he is now the godly choice of the lady in the lake." Courtier Muller called up Ryan's detailed file: "The major forces should have invited him in preparations. Yes, but if there's going to be action, it should be after Winter Veil."

"Then this is very interesting. All the strengths are competing for this rising star... Interesting, you say, what if I recruited him as another guardian of this city during this time?"
