Proof of the Sun King

Intelligence? Aurora was okay, but Teresa went through it in her mind. The sorceress immediately began to think about the gains and losses of helping Ryan to build the intelligence department. There is no doubt that Aurora and Teresa now need Ryan. Shelter and wizards who need his resources.

Aurora's eyes lit up when she heard Ryan's words. What she was most afraid of was that Ryan said that I didn't need your help at all. Where to go back and forth, then things would be really troublesome. On the contrary, if Ryan needed her and special With Leysa's help, then they can naturally rely on Ryan's orders and the status of Teresa's female courtier to automatically obtain part of Ryan's authority and enter Ryan's court, which is very important to Aurora.

Teresa thought for a while, and she said softly, "But Ryan, don't you already have an intelligence department under your command?"

Ryan nodded slightly, and Teresa was right.

Lane's forces have their own intelligence department, which is mainly divided into two parts.

The first part is jointly managed by Suria and Ryan. Relying on the Oliver Chamber of Commerce, it is specially responsible for collecting the major forces and major trends in the old world. This department can do not many things. At most, it can only collect intelligence and Pass messages, and sometimes provide a place to hide.

The second part is managed by the dark elf Olika. It is a small team that closely monitors chaos corruption and cult activities in the territory, including vampire activities and Skaven activities. The dark elves follow the culture of blood The method of the Kane Assassin, the God of Hands, specially trained several maids and established a peripheral structure. There are not many people in this group, and they all follow Orika's command.

"All the Oliver Chamber of Commerce can do is to collect intelligence, they can't carry out deeper work, and what I need is not a passive source of intelligence, I want a source who can actively help me with intelligence in the Kingdom of Brittany The organization of the work, I have thought about it, and I think you are the most suitable. My initial plan is that you can send your subordinates to Boldero and Helen Hild to establish branches first." Ryan pointed his plan to Teresa. And Aurora's mother and daughter said in detail: "As for housing and opening a store, you don't have to worry about it, I will naturally help you prepare."

The ice witches are indeed a special kind of existence. This kind of magic is a kind of chaotic magic, but it does not mutate. It only makes the caster become cold in character. The ancient saint's ruins have acquired the secrets and tricks of cultivating ice magic. Due to the characteristics of ice magic, these witches practice magic indifferently, do not like to participate in politics, and are not easily corrupted by chaos. Even if they fail to practice, they will change. The ice sculptures die silently, which will not affect the citizens and cause panic. They are very suitable for hiding in cities or suburbs. Compared with many wizards who abuse magic to cause panic or cause explosions, the ice witch will not be so. Trouble, they are quiet and like to do their own thing behind closed doors.

The only thing that made the ice witches extremely disgusted was male mages, because the first-generation Kislev Tsar Miska came to the conclusion after reading the mysteries in the ancient holy ruins that men could not practice ice magic. Therefore, there are only ice witches and no ice wizards. Ice witches are inherently hostile to other male wizards and are prone to conflict. The mystery passed on by the ancient sage clearly stated that they were too much with male wizards. Approaching or combining causes the ice magic to gradually weaken and disappear forever, so when a male wizard tries to get close to the ice witch, a battle is often inevitable.

In this regard, Brittany has a natural and excellent environment. As we all know, all young children with magical potential will be led by Morgiana if they are not sent to the Imperial Royal Academy of Wizards or the Wizarding League of the Southern Kingdoms. Take away the prophets of the lake god, the boys will disappear forever, and the girls will be trained to become the new prophet of the lake **** and return, so in Brittany, the number of male wizards is very small, only some of the great nobles. There are male wizards hired or invited from the Imperial Academy of Wizards within the court, minimizing the possibility of conflict.

Lane's remarks, whether it was Aurora or Teresa, nodded again and again. Aurora, the witch of the Sanctuary and the female elder of the Garland Council, suddenly felt that the dangerous place of the Garland Council might indeed have nothing to stay. She He has already begun to figure out how to move a few congresswomen, hundreds of official witches and witch apprentices under his command, but he is a little reluctant to give up the network and the wizard tower he has built up over the decades.

Aurora is still thinking, but Teresa has already asked her own question: "Lane, it's not that I don't want to help you, I want to ask you first, why don't you find Surya or Orika?"

"Suria... It's not suitable, she has basically taken charge of most of the internal affairs in the territory, and she decides big and small matters when I'm not around. If this kind of thing is handed over to her, one is that she doesn't have enough energy. , she has to bring Devon Hill, and the second one is not suitable."

"As for Olika... She's too cruel." Ryan couldn't help but smile when he said this: "It's better for her to deal with non-humans like Chaos cultists and vampires, but her methods are too vicious to deal with her own people. I don't want this, I don't want this."

Even though the dark elf is a soft and fragrant pillow in front of Ryan, and he likes to act coquettishly and give some ideas to him, he feels that Olika is a harmless maid. This dark elf from Nagaros is quite cruel by nature. The enemy is often cut into adult sticks a few times, hung with a butcher's hook, and let the other party bleed until death. She also proposed to Ryan more than once to implement slavery and capture prisoners as coolies.

"I don't feel relieved that this kind of internal work is handed over to Olika." Ryan said calmly: "I still keep her by my side, at least she listens to me."

"Understood." Teresa and Aurora looked at each other, and after getting a positive look from her mother, Teresa was still a little hesitant: "Lane, there is no problem with your request, and we are willing to help you. , but do you really have no problem entrusting such an important matter to us?"

"Then who else can I give it to?" Ryan asked back, the crown prince of the knight kingdom, the Duke of Musilon, and the champion of God's Choice of the Fairy in the Lake shook his head with a wry smile: "I choose to choose, who else can I choose? Nothing more than It is to choose one of the three types of knight nobility, church, and wizard. The knight nobility headed by Surya controls the administration, and the church headed by Morgiana controls the legislation and justice, so it can only be supervised by your wizards."

Speaking of which, Aurora and Teresa have no objection.

At the end of the evening chat, the attendants also boiled hot water. Ryan asked Aurora and Teresa to take a bath first. He walked around the small village, walked around the grassroots, and greeted the elders and villagers in the village. He brought greetings from the Holy Grail Knight, and at the same time took out a few bags of wheat and a few hanging pork from the remaining rations, specially rewarding those serf guards in the village.

Seeing that the legendary Lord Ryan was so generous, the serf villagers present were moved to tears, but Ryan also noticed that they were not particularly excited, just expressed their gratitude and kowtow, and checked the food reserves in the villagers' homes. Lane is relatively satisfied. Most of the villagers still have surplus grain for the winter, and a few Lane ignore it. This is not his principality.

Most of the lords of the Duchy of Bastogne are Holy Grail Knights. This principality is known for its piety and low administrative efficiency. The result of the Holy Grail Knights being lords is that they are relatively more sympathetic to the hard work of the people, so the oppression of the serfs is not enough. At the same time, because the Holy Grail Knight spends most of his life practicing martial arts and pursuing virtue, the Duchy of Bastogne is famous for its inefficiency in administration. Weak chicken in internal affairs.

Therefore, when Ryan carried out the reform of changing the 9th tax to a fixed tax, the promotion of the Duchy of Bastogne was hardly hindered. The Holy Grail Knights believed that since this was in line with the virtues of chivalry and would not unduly hurt their interests, so be it Let's do it, after that, many of Lane's reforms have been successfully implemented here, the entire principality has become vibrant again, and the serfs are at least guaranteed to be able to feed themselves.

Lane walked to the street of the village, and in the dark night, he exhaled a white breath.

Yeah, who else can I use?

As a duke, his subordinates are nothing more than knights, nobles, churches, and wizards.

Didn't he know about the infiltration of the Surya family into his territory? Does Aurora's bachelor party proposal also infiltrate his territory? Even Morgiana, the witch of the lake god, is everywhere building the Chapel of the Holy Grail in Mousillon, is it an infiltration? Doesn't he know that? He didn't know that the tax bureaucrats trained by the church also infiltrated him?

So what can be done? Besides these people, who else can Ryan use? In this kingdom, who has read books? Who has an orthodox education? It's not these people, it's not the knights, the nobles, the wizards or the church, these three people are chosen.

Old guard? For the time being, the Old Guards are just a nascent force. This army was born in the military and has a low level of education. At most, it can only recognize a few hundred characters and can read and write. It is not possible to transfer to administration, at least not now. , These soldiers from serfs are not suitable for immediate transformation into bureaucrats, and there will be very serious consequences. As for the consequences, you know.

What Ryan has done so far is just a small step in the evolution of the entire Brittany from aristocratic politics to clan politics. He has opened up a channel for class ascent, that's all, and the empire is already under the savior Luther. This step was taken after the reorganization of Vichy.

"I'm ashamed, so I just did a little work." Ryan looked at the curling smoke rising from the inside of the village, and his blue eyes gradually became firm: "I can't stop, I still have a lot of things to do."

After wandering around the village and returning to the big house, the fire was lit in the warm room, the windows were closed tightly, dispelling the chill in the middle of winter, Ryan took a nice bath and put on a light Clothes, opened the door of the back room, his eyes lit up immediately.

Teresa was sitting on the bed reading a book and taking a shower. Her previous black swan coat and leggings breeches had been replaced with a violet retro gothic court dress, showing her beautiful body. The lines, the standard oval face and the long, shimmering black hair still had some water vapor, and she was obviously wearing make-up, and the lilac eyeshadow and bright lashes were feminine and moving.

A pair of slender legs are exposed like two jade pillars, and the black velvet stockings as thin as cicada's wings are wrapped around the slender and fair legs. Simple elf sandals, seeing Ryan come in, Teresa raised her head from the pages of the magic book, she reached out and adjusted her black-framed purple butterfly pattern glasses: "Washed?"

"Well, it's done." Ryan nodded with a smile. He walked over to Teresa and embraced the sorceress in his arms: "It's really comfortable."

The room was filled with the scent of lavender, and Teresa's face gradually turned red. She reached out and held Ryan's hand: "Lane, how would you develop if I let my mother come over here too?"

"Ms. Aurora? She is willing to accumulate for decades?" Ryan hugged Teresa and said with a half-smile, "I know her, she is reluctant."

"You sound like you know your mother better than I do." The sorceress rolled her eyes at Ryan, and she sighed lightly: "You are right, mother is a little reluctant, she is still hesitating."

"It doesn't matter, she still has a lot of time to think." Ryan shook his head, and he kissed Theresa's red lips lightly: "I promised that I would welcome you at any time, but since you have come to my territory, you must obey me rather than occupying the mountains as kings in the Sky Vault Castle."

"Forget it, let's not talk about this, that... Ryan, my mother told me, let me have a baby for you, it's better... It's better to have the surname Trovik, this is our family's surname, it must be Pass it down." Teresa leaned on Ryan's shoulder, blushing at the question, but unspeakably firm: "What do you think?"

Ryan thought to himself that even if we had a child between us, it would be impossible for your child to have the surname Macado with me. Only the child of me and Suria could have the surname Macado.

The man pretended to ponder for a while~www.wuxiamtl.com~ In the end, his face was not good, and he seemed to nodded reluctantly: "Okay, if you insist."

"That's great, thank you!" Teresa could feel Ryan's embarrassment, thinking that Ryan still promised herself, the sorceress was sweet in her heart: "Then, have you decided what to name the child?"

"Name~" Ryan put his arms around Teresa's waist, and he said with some wickedness: "If it's a man, it's called Siegfried, and if it's a woman, it's called Teresa or Karen? How about it's called Kiana? also."

"What are these strange names?" Teresa obviously didn't like these names: "Cecilia is better, but I don't like it either. I don't want it."

"If you don't like it, you can discuss it again." Ryan said with a bad smile, "The premise is that we want to have one."

"Well... we have one."

…………I am the dividing line of Kiana’s time now…………

It took a few days for the army to pass through the Sharon Forest and arrive at Ryan's territory. Both Ryan and Teresa were in good spirits, while Aurora's spirit was not very good. She was obviously angry and dissatisfied. Under the state, Ryan always pretended not to see.

On the way back to the territory, the lake **** witch Morgiana was already waiting with a team of Holy Grail guards. Seeing Ryan and Teresa appear, Morgiana frowned first, and then unnaturally arranged her long golden hair. : "Lane? Are you back?"

"Yes, what happened, why did you come in person?" Ryan asked strangely.

"The Regents of the Kingdom, the Dukes of Laun and Adehard, Dukes of Lyonnais, Berhemonds, Dukes of Bastogne, François, Dukes of Winfort, and Baudric, Dukes of Bordeaux, have arrived, and they have just stayed with you. The castle." Morgiana nodded: "They have something to look for you."

"Very well, it's finally here."
