Chapter 495, Serenade
The captain of the Duke of Magrit, Babro, was loyal and served Rubio for many years. Although Estalia was a relatively peaceful country and rarely attacked by foreign forces, the strength of this captain of the guard should not be underestimated. The thin sword in his hand turned into a spirit snake and hit Ryan's face from the side.
The duels in Estalia have extremely rich experience in this. Generally speaking, people will be instinctively afraid of the sharp tip of the sword like a thin sword. When the tip of the sword approaches the human face, most people will instinctively retreat.
Babro was filled with anger. No matter how powerful or prestige Ryan was, facing her fully armed self, she did not wear any armor or use weapons, which was really a great contempt!
He at least wants to force Ryan himself to get in a hurry, that's enough!
"For Magrit! For Mirmidia!" The sharp sword of the guard captain's sword had approached Ryan's face.
Ryan only made one move, and the Count himself slid sideways, and then he stretched out his hand towards Babro. Compared to the tip of the sword, Ryan's hand speed was so fast that it was hard to see clearly.
"Um!" Before the sharp sword could be reached, Babro found that the collar on his chest had been firmly grasped by Ryan. The captain of the guard could feel the tightness of the collar depriving him of his right to breathe: "Uh!"
This huge force almost suffocated Babro, and he tried hard to hold the sword, and the feeling of weightlessness followed.
He was raised by Ryan with one hand, and in pain, the sword fell to the ground. Babro held Ryan's hand tightly with both hands, struggling with difficulty: "Huh~ha~ I will never..."
Before he finished speaking, the sky was spinning, and the stars in the night sky swung a whole circle in Pablo's growing pupils. Then the sound of heavy objects falling to the ground sounded, breaking the tranquility in Moore's garden: "Boom!"
The captain of the guard was put down in a flowerbed and lost consciousness.
Ryan opened his eyes and turned his eyes into the pavilion in the distance. The Count's meaning was very obvious. Have you finished temptation?
"Pai pa~" Rubio, Duke of Magritte, appeared from behind the pavilion clapped his hands, and said with a smile: "It is an honor to witness the strength of His Excellency Ryan. Please tolerate my little test. Hello, Lord Ryan, introduce myself. I am Rubio, Duke of Magritte, Duke of Magritte, and you can call me Rubio directly. This is my son Juan, the Sun Viewer."
"Hello, Lord Duke, I believe this is not an encounter." Ryan's words were always pale. His blue eyes were shining with a psychic light, waiting for the words behind Duke Magrit: "Of course, I think if I didn't pass this test, maybe I really had an encounter by chance? Lord Rubio? Trouble?"
Ryan's words made Duke Magrit's face look bad, and even more, the Flying Eagle Knights who were protecting the Duke showed an indignant look on their faces. But the Knights immediately noticed Captain Barbro who was lying in the flowerbed with some frustration.
Captain Barbro is already the strongest among them. The Flying Eagle Knights know that the rest of the people are not against Ryan, he is a cruel person.
Regarding this, Estalia and Tyriar are different. Tyriar is known as the "dog of war" and "mercenary kingdom", and there are some strong people at the bottom of the box. Moreover, Tyriar has always been rich in mercenaries. There is even a mercenary group composed of dragon-riding dragon prince mercenaries and a group of green-skinned giants.
Estalia is much weaker. There are no strong people in this place who can show off except for the duel. Except for the three knights of Yanyang, Flying Eagle and Spear of Justice, other knights are all parallels. Magrit's Duke Office always opens the door. As long as anyone hand over fifty gold coins, he can get the title of knight immediately!
If you hand over a hundred gold coins, let alone the knight title, the entire set of knight equipment and a inferior agricultural horse are ready for you!
What, you have three hundred gold coins?! Come on, brother, fill in this form, the Duke of Magrit will provide you with a thatched hut as the headquarters, and will also help you announce the whole city: the new Knights are established in Magrit!
"Lee... His Excellency Lean, it's a great honor to see you!" Juan saw the awkward atmosphere, and the young knight rushed forward: "I have always been your warmest admirer. I swear to Goddess Mirmidia! I have always wanted to be an amazing knight like you since I was nine years old!"
Then the young knight immediately gave a standard apology ceremony, and he smiled shyly, "I'm very sorry, Lord Ryan, the cause of this is all blamed. I'm here to apologize to you on my own behalf."
Ryan nodded with understanding. Juan's performance was relatively normal, because most fanatical fans' first reaction when they saw their idol was not only excited, but they wanted to test whether the idol in front of them was exactly the same as the idol in their hearts. It is inevitable that Juan would have such a temptation: "No more."
The fairy's God-Choose Champion in the Lake reached out and held Juan. Looking at the young man's excited expression, Ryan thought that this guy probably planned to stop washing his hands for several days: "So what? Lord Rubio, Mr. Juan, is there anything to ask me for? If nothing else, I will go back early to rest, and we will leave Magrit tomorrow."
"Ah! Will Your Excellency Ryan leave tomorrow?" Juan was obviously surprised by this situation.
"Can you be lucky enough to invite His Excellency Ryan to the pavilion and chat?" Rubio, Duke of Magrit, invited very sincerely: "Our Sun-Watching Family has a reluctant request."
Sun Watcher Family... The name of the Sun Watcher Family appeared in Ryan's mind, which family is a big coffee table.
Estalia was naturally one of the colonies of the high elves in the old world. It is said that the surname of the Sun Viewer Family came from the high elves, and this human family had a trace of elves. Although it was very thin, some traces could still be vaguely seen from the eyebrows and eyes of Rubio and Juan.
As a guest, Ryan has to give his face to the host.
The three men sat in the pavilion under the escort of many Eagle Knights. The attendant brought tea and snacks. Rubio, Duke of Magrit, expressed his request to Ryan in a very sincere and serious tone.
He wanted to send his son Juan Carlos to Ryan's command and become his official knight. This was not an internship, but permanent. In the future, Juan would fight as Ryan's subordinates.
The Duke sent his legitimate son to become Ryan's subordinate, which was not particularly surprising for Ryan, and he was even a little used to it, because many of his Rangers and Knights, even the Kingdom Knights, came from various noble families in Brittania.
The noble families that produce knights often send their children to other knight families for training and attendance training. Many great noble families often send their descendants besides the heirs to other lords to serve them to find ways to obtain the title of nobles. This is nothing strange. In terms of Ryan's reputation, he also has this confidence. As a human hero who is famous in the old world, many nobles sent their children to his commands.
"Are you serious? Lord Rubio, if you become my subordinate, you must abide by the spirit of chivalry and the way of knights, fight against evil, and stop until death. I will not give him preferential treatment just because he is the legitimate son of the duke, nor will I deliberately suppress him because of his identity. It depends on himself in the future." After some talk, Ryan learned about Rubio's purpose and the count said seriously.
"I swear in the name of Mirmidia! I will die for Your Excellency Ryan!" The young Yanyang Knight was burning with feverish flames in his eyes. The young Yanyang Knight clenched his fists with both hands, knelt on one knee, and his brown curly hair was a little messy. He said in his biggest voice: "Please believe me! Your Excellency Ryan!"
"Juan is my son, Lord Ryan, I will hand him over to you until Juan obtains his noble title or I die, and all his salary will be taken by the treasury of the Principal of Magrit." Rubio said, "I have already purchased Juan's full set of knight equipment and war horses, as are the servants and entourages."
At this point, Ryan had no objection anymore. Juan himself was a formal Yanyang Knight who had completed all courses in the Goddess Academy of War by his own ability. His strength was probably the middle-level elite. This potential stock that was delivered to the door and had no maintenance fees. Ryan had no reason to not.
Seeing Ryan nodding, Juan shouted happily, and the young Knight of the Flame Sun was immersed in joy, wishing to tell everyone in the entire Principality.
Seeing the young man's ecstatic expression, Ryan also smiled. He knew that this young man might not have a good sleep tonight. This is a common problem for young people. It was the same when he was awarded the title of knight for his military merits.
Juan today, Ryan yesterday, the Knight's heritage was passed down from generation to generation. This is the flower of hope, connecting the knight's bond.
After a little instructions on the departure time tomorrow, Ryan said goodbye to Duke Magrit and his future subordinates and agreed to meet up tomorrow morning. It was a bit late, and he knew that he should go back.
The banquet in the Oriental Palace has come to an end at this time. Enzo Moretti, the great mentor of the Knights of Magrit, sat down and drank two drinks with Federmond and left. Veronica also drank a few more drinks in order to open up more trade routes. The Witch of Garland took this opportunity to get to know several key figures of the Estalia Merchant Alliance.
There are many banquets in Ryan's territory. As the hostess, Sulia has always been a representative of long-sleeved dance. Suria is enough to entertain everyone present in just a few words. Compared with the unique Sulia, Veronica is slightly inferior in this regard. However, the Garlan Witch is also studying very seriously. At least from the moment, she has done a good job. Several big treasury merchants also know that she is Ryan's female courtier, enjoys legal status and protection, and are willing to give her some face. The scene is relatively harmonious.
The worst thing is Alfred Templar. Ryan's blonde and blue-eyed childhood friend was drinking alone. The merchants obviously did not like to communicate with the Templar who had "excessive sense of justice". Therefore, when Ryan appeared, Alfred stood up excitedly: "Ryan, you are finally back!"
"Why are you looking forward to my return so much, Ah Fu?" Ryan smiled and said, "Want to go back to see your Miss Claudia? I think she might be off work."
"No..." Alfred said angrily as soon as he heard Ryan's words: "Good friend, you and Your Excellency Federmond spent half an hour specifically advising me. Do you think I am like someone who doesn't listen to the opinions? I just want to say that the time is almost over and it's time to go back to the National Hotel to rest."
Ryan lowered his head and thought for a moment. He suddenly said to Alfred with his ears: "Afu, if you are serious, if you really like that Miss Claudia, you should mention Miss Claudia's name to Mr. Amancio now. This will be very helpful for your pursuit, but you have to think clearly that no one knows what will happen in the future."
This is indeed a shortcut. At least Amancio will definitely give Ryan a face, but this does not mean that the waitress will accept Alfred. The two sides are more likely to be just a dewy relationship. This is too common for the open southern country. Estalia's hot unmarried female citizens don't care about this at all.
This is also a type of clear and real-price transaction.
Alfred was silent. The Templar, who was already drunk, simply said Ryan's subtext: "So she will be wrapped in a blanket and sent to my room?"
"The choice is up to you," Ryan smiled, "Do you want to sing a serenade in your room?"
"..." Alfred's eyes flashed, and he seemed to be thinking. Federmond also came to the two of them with a glass of wine. The Holy Grail Knight whispered: "It's almost done, Lord Ryan, let Ms. Veronica and Mr. Alfred take a break early. We will leave Magrit early tomorrow morning. My father's Sea God fleet has approached the coastline and is ready to land."
"Yeah." Ryan nodded, it was indeed almost time.
"Forget it." At this time, Alfred gave his own answer. There seemed to be something missing on the Templar's face, and something seemed to be more: "It doesn't make sense. For this point, I think the same as you, Ryan."
"I'm glad our Mr. Afu made the choice." Ryan laughed loudly. The Count was not surprised by the choice of his childhood playmate.
After Ryan and Amancio talked, the dinner officially came to an end and the group returned to the State Guesthouse.
With the envious and jealous eyes of several waitresses, Ryan picked up the bright and charming Veronica in the waist and entered the room.
"Dear~" The charming witch Jialan hugged in Ryan's arms, her slender jade feet wrapped in flesh-colored stockings hooked with black fish-mouthed high heels, Veronica's face turned red, and her jade arms wrapped around Ryan's neck: "Do you want to sing a serenade with me at night? Just like you advised Alfred?"
"Of course." Ryan gently kissed Veronica: "I can't wait."
…………I’m singing the dividing line of serenade together……………
Two days later, on the Plains of Morros, Estalia.
Hundreds of yellow and blue tents with the Trident of the Sea God stretched out a kilometer.
Boderick, Duke of Bordro, led the Knights of the Sea God and a small number of entourage troops to station here, and they will ambush the rogue knights here.
