Chapter two hundred and thirteenth, return to tranquility
When Ryan's body was found from the battlefield, almost everyone thought he was dead.
The lady's God-Choose Champion was wearing dozens of wounds, many of which were enough to kill the most powerful Holy Grail Knight on the spot. What's even more terrifying is that his whole body was filled with filthy chaotic energy, and all the knights dared not approach it.
A tragic victory, the battlefield was filled with the bodies of Chaos Devils, Chaos Warriors, and Brittanian Knights.
"Lian!" The female knight jumped down from the sky, and she saw Lian lying on the ground from afar.
The female knight didn't think so much. She was wearing a full set of knight's plate armor and rushed directly to where Ryan was.
"Oh! No, she will kill herself like this!" Some knights exclaimed.
The Duke's daughter seemed to have not heard it. Even if the Chaos Energy could take her life in the next second, she ran towards Ryan without hesitation.
Someone is faster than her.
Mogianna appeared beside Ryan in the flashing white light. She recited a spell to purify the filth on Ryan's body. Seeing Sulia rushing over, the Lake Goddess Witch frowned, trying to reprimand the female knight for his rashness and recklessness.
"No! Ryan, you can't do this. You promised me to watch me win the championship at the Knights Conference!" The female knight ignored the strong corruption of chaos, and she stretched out her arms, and the chaos energy immediately burned the bright arm armor to black.
She doesn't care.
The female knight gently hugged Ryan's body, with panic and fear in her voice: "I'm sorry! I'm really sorry, Ryan, my father and I are late."
Water like pearls dripped on Ryan's face. The duke daughter, who was usually dignified and elegant, and could not speak loudly, was crying. Seeing this, Mogianna couldn't say anything to scold her, so she whispered: "He still has a heartbeat."
"Cough cough." Ryan, who was lying on the ground, coughed a few times. The big hole in his chest could even see his beating heart. The face of the God-Choose Champion was almost squeezed into a ball due to pain and weakness: "Have we won?"
"Yes, we won." Sulia hugged Ryan tightly, and the female knight burst into tears and smiled: "That's great."
"Incredible, you defeated the Chaos Demon!" Lawn was covered in blood. He approached with a long sword, and admired and sighed: "You snatched François and me's spoils, Ryan, did a pretty job."
Duke of Winford François also appeared. The unicorn sword in the duke's hand was covered with the blood of the Nurgle Demon. The duke himself led the army of knights, and King Richard chose to sit in the palace. When François led the army to the battlefield, it was already a little late. The Nurgle army teleported a large number of giant plague bees and plague messengers demons. The knights were stopped and unable to make progress.
"Very good, finally, I can rest." Ryan showed an ugly smile on his haggard face, then he tilted his head and fell into a coma.
"Ryan!!!" Sulia shouted.
"Don't worry, my daughter, Ryan is the lady's God-Choose Champion, he doesn't die so easily." François checked Ryan's injuries and found that Ryan's life was very strong. The Duke patted Sulia on the shoulder. Before he could say anything, under Mojiana's command, several Lake God prophets came out of the crowd. Most of their beautiful faces were overdrawn and pale. These Lake God prophets bandaged Ryan's wounds, and then Mojiana's cold voice rang out: "Send Ryan back to the Holy Grail Cathedral for treatment!"
"Yes!" The Lake God Prophets immediately answered.
"I'm going too!" The female knight walked to the lake god witch, and her dazzling long golden curly hair swayed with her master's movements.
"…Come on." Mogianna seemed not very fond of communicating with the Duke's daughter too much. The Lake Goddess Witch looked at the army of knights gathered in the wilderness and shouted: "In the name of ladies, another victory! Praise the lady!"
"Victory! Victory! Victory!" A deafening cheer sounded, and humanity once again won the victory in fighting evil.
"Thanks to the Lady's God-Choose Champion - Ryan Makado! It was him who defeated the Chaos Demon, and it was him who decided the outcome of the war." Mogianna then shouted: "What should we do in the glory of the Lady?"
"Ran! Ran! Ran!" thousands of knights and knight entourage shouted.
"Dedicate glory to him!"
"For the lady! For the Brittania! Give him glory!"
"Ryan! Ryan! Ryan!"
The knights all over the mountains shouted Ryan's name, which was his supreme glory.
At the same time, Curona, the Church of the Goddess of Mercy.
The Archbishop, who escaped back to the headquarters of the Goddess of Mercy, locked herself in a secret room. She picked up a quill and wanted to write down the formula for the special malaria medicine.
After writing a few sentences, the Archbishop immediately felt someone else in the secret room. She subconsciously reached out and held her staff, shouting angrily: "Who is it?!"
"Don't~ just stay there." A purple-black energy ball hit the Archbishop's back directly. The Archbishop of the Goddess of Mercy was knocked down by the purple light ball and fell on the floor of the secret room paved with smooth stone slabs.
"Soul absorption!" The man in black robe appeared behind her, and the staff burning with blue flames bombarded the Archbishop with another spell. The purple silk thread bound the middle-aged beauty, connecting her magic and her last resistance, all dissipated invisibly.
"It's so simple." The decaying and dry hand grabbed the parchment paper that recorded the special medicine for malaria, but there were no words on the paper. The Archbishop of the Goddess of Mercy struggled and said, "Who is it? Who are you?"
"I'm honored to introduce myself. I am Akhan, 'Black' Akhan, the Lich King, and the most loyal servant of the master."
"You did everything? Is it the same as finding a pharmacy? Is it the same as attracting Nurgle army?"
"So, it's really simple." The man in black robe, or Akhan, exhaled a breath of turbid air. His words were full of politeness, and his every move was graceful and polite, like a gentleman, but he himself was already a rotten corpse, which had to be said to be very strange.
Then the man in black robe and the Archbishop of the Goddess of Mercy disappeared into the secret room.
…………
When Ryan woke up again, it was already two days later.
Opening his eyes, Ryan found himself lying in the suite of the Holy Grail Cathedral where he lived.
The heavy down quilt and blanket were piled high, and two feather pillows were placed behind him. The early spring sunshine shone on his face. Outside the window, the flowers in the courtyard were blooming, and birds were singing. A few rays of faint sunshine fell on his face, which was a little dazzling.
Ryan judged that the time is either early morning or afternoon, and according to the somatosensory temperature, he felt that it should be afternoon.
The fierce battle with the great demon is still vivid in my mind. The pain in my chest and limbs is not fake. Ryan is wrapped in a thick bandage. In addition to the hot pain, there is also a cold feeling under the bandage, which may be because he was ointmented.
His sword, warhammer, and damaged armor were placed on the table in the distance. The psychic seiko power armor was broken, but it didn't matter. Ryan's set of power armor could be repaired by his large amount of psychic energy.
This is the first time that Ryan faces the Chaos Demon. Although he cannot completely kill the Demon because of exhaustion of power in the end, it is enough to be able to do this. He is only twenty-six years old this year, and even the Primroot needs time to grow.
"Um~" I wanted to move a little, and the chest felt like a tear. My internal organs were so painful, and Ryan only felt dry mouth. After he tried a few times, he had to give up: "Is anyone?"
"Are you awake?" The sound of brisk and messy footsteps sounded from one side of the suite. Mogianna appeared with two lake god prophets. Her face was as cold as ever. However, when she saw Ryan awaken, she seemed to breathe lightly.
"You guys, go down." Mogianna said to the two lake god prophets.
"Yes." The two lake gods prophets went down.
"Can you give me a glass of water?" Ryan said with a wry smile: "I'm a little...inconvenient."
Morgianna wore a long tulle silk chiffon dress today, with fragrance wavy hair draped over her soft shoulders, a golden laurel on her head, a gold belt inlaid with gems wrapped around her slender waist, her slender feet floating in the air, flying towards Ryan.
She poured a glass of water and handed it to Ryan: "It's incredible."
Ryan could not reach out to take the water cup. When Mojana saw that he didn't say anything, the Lake Goddess Witch so he fed him water.
Ryan coughed several times, then asked strangely: "Ahem~ Incredible?"
"When you were rescued back to the Holy Grail Cathedral, I was already in a deep coma. I was originally very confident in my magical skills, but... there was almost no healing magic to you. On the contrary, it was yourself who was useful." Mogianna placed the water cup on the small wooden table in front of the bed, and sat on the head of the bed. Her green eyes stared at Ryan, with a strange feeling in her tone: "It took only a few hours for your body to escape from that frequent death, and after just two days, you regained consciousness. From the moment, you only need to rest for more than ten days to walk."
"You have been injured. Even if the Holy Grail Knight can survive, he will have to struggle on the brink of death for several days, and then he will have to be bedridden for at least a few months before he can walk... It's incredible."
"Oh, this is really good news. I want to share this good news with my friends." Ryan's face was haggard and unnaturally pale. He forced a smile, but it looked very ugly.
At least Ryan felt that his smile was no different from crying.
"Almost all the Holy Grail Knights and the Lords in Curona have visited you when you are unconscious. They have given you a lot of condolences, and I have arranged for people to put them in the warehouse." Mogianna signaled Ryan to lie down and continued, "In addition, Marquis Sulia visited you for three hours, and there was also Miss Emilia who claimed to be your maid. She even proposed to live with you, but I drove her out."
"Uh...she is indeed my maid." Ryan said awkwardly: "You don't need to rush..."
"So what if it's your maid? Is the Holy Grail Cathedral where she can enter and exit at will?" Mogianna said bluntly, without any mercy.
That's why I don't like living in this place! Ryan's thought changed his mind, and he could only sigh helplessly. Mogianna was right. The Holy Grail Cathedral should not be entered or exited at will. There are the lake god witches, and there are more than a dozen Holy Grail Knights stationed nearby. In addition to the Lake Fairy Cathedral in the Principality of Kakasong, which has most of the Holy Grail Knights stationed, this may be the third safest place in Brittany.
The safest place is Ryan's territory. No one knows this, only Ryan himself knows.
"You can rest here during this period. When the Knights' Conference is over, we will go south together." Morgianna explained a little: "The upper class of the kingdom is still discussing the rewards to you, but most of the dukes' opinions still tend to be honor and substantial material rewards. You were only named baron last spring. If you were promoted to Earl now... it would be too fast. A first-class cross is a foregone conclusion. You can also pick a few things from the church's treasure house, and in addition to the reward of gold coins."
After knowing that he could not be promoted to the title, Ryan was a little disappointed, but he also understood that he, who was named baron last year, had already emerged as a new force. It was a bit too much to be promoted to the count in just one year. It should be noted that the title has always been a carrot and a pit. Except for the Duke of Connaught, the leader of Brittany fell under the enemy, every inch of land, including deserted places, is ruled by people. The normal process of promotion often requires generations of efforts. Many great nobles' titles have not changed since hundreds of years ago.
Ryan warned himself not to worry that there are many opportunities to fight in the future. He has made great contributions twice in a row, allowing the great nobles of the kingdom to discuss the promotion of his title, which shows that he is very close to the rank of Count.
Furthermore, fighting chaos is an obligation, a guarantee of survival, not a capital to seek credit and reward.
It seemed like there was nothing else about Mogianna, and she just leaned against the head of the bed and chatted with Ryan.
"The Knights' Conference is still going on as usual?" Ryan said lonely as he looked at the sunset outside the window.
"Yes, as usual, people need this conference to heal the pain caused by the war. Since you exiled the great demon without spending too much time, the loss of this war will not be great, so I discussed it with Richard and decided to hold the Knights Conference as usual." Morgianna glanced at Ryan, and her tone suddenly became full of inexplicable meaning: "Worry about Marquis Suriya?"
"You will present her with an award." Ryan did not directly answer the question.
"Yes, she swears she will bring you this trophy back." Morgianna smiled faintly, her smile unspeakable: "If she can do it, then do it."
Ryan thought to himself that it sounded like Mogianna didn't seem to like Suriya?
Strangely, there is no reason. What conflict can there be between the Duke's daughter and the Lake God Witch? She is also the daughter of the Holy Grail Knight François. Why do you hear Mojana's tone seem to disagree with Sulia?
At this moment, there seemed to be an unusual sound in the corner of the quiet suite. The seriously injured Ryan did not respond, but Mogianna immediately noticed someone else in the room.
There are infiltrators!
