General Orlando thought about it for a long time, and he decided to start with Ryan. With the relationship between Ryan and Faras, it is very likely that Ryan will become Luke's son-in-law like Orlando in a few years. And Ryan, both in terms of magical power and personal Orlando admires his character very much. In public and private matters, Orlando hopes that Ryan can become his beneficial assistant. And another very important reason is that Victor, the only great magician in the empire, also admires Ryan very much. Maybe he can pass it through Ryan's relationship was used to bridge the gap between His Majesty and Victor. After all, Fernando XIII was too reckless. Not only did he remove Luke from his post, but he also offended Victor.
Orlando let out a long breath, and did not hide anything in front of Ryan: "Lian, I didn't expect you to have such great achievements. I just learned about your today's record from General Clark. Counting that you are in Thor During this period of time in the fortress, we killed a full 5,000 orc warriors, good guys, a whole brigade of elite human soldiers."
Ryan's face turned red when he heard Orlando's compliments. He scratched his head in embarrassment and wanted to say something, but Orlando interrupted what he wanted to say in time and continued: "I just received the news from the Imperial Capital. Six days ago, His Majesty held a coronation ceremony in the imperial capital."
Orlando told Ryan in detail about the appearance of Fernando XIII at the coronation ceremony. After hearing this, Ryan sighed. The legendary dragon suddenly appeared in the imperial capital of the human world. It was still that kind of thing. Undead creatures that were possessed by some kind of magic after death. Could it be that the undead army from 200 years ago is about to resurrect
Ryan thought of the lich he met when he and Faras were adventuring together. Although its strength was much worse than what was recorded in the books, it had also created many undead creatures. Maybe it was in some remote place on the continent. There is a group of necromancers looking at humans with jealous eyes. Unfortunately, the power of the empire is now hindered by the orcs in the north and the scheming lords in the south. It is impossible to search for the existence of those guys with all their strength.
"Forget it, don't think about these things." Orlando saw that Ryan was also lost in thought, so he changed the subject and said: "In the letter sent by His Majesty, he also told me that he was planning to marry Catherine as his wife. Calculating the time, it will be better." For half a month, I probably won’t be able to attend his wedding in person.”
"Ah." Ryan was completely shocked by the news from Orlando. His Majesty the Emperor was going to marry Catherine. Ryan looked at Orlando in confusion and asked: "I remember His Majesty the Emperor is almost 30 years old, why did he get married?"
Orlando explained: "In order for future generations to avoid being indulged in women and disrupting the government, Fernando I had a decree that he would not be crowned or marry a queen if he was under 30 years old. Your Majesty has just turned 30, so getting married now is normal, but that is called Catherine's female magician appeared in front of us not long ago. Although I sent capable subordinates to investigate her, unfortunately nothing could be found in the past six months. I only know that her teacher is a bard, and both Catherine's parents Death, she was adopted by her teacher since she was a child, and lived in seclusion to learn magic, that's all."
"Oh." Ryan agreed casually. His only impression of Catherine was the level 8 fire magic floating in the air. Other than that, he had no contact with Catherine at all and had no impression at all.
Orlando saw that Ryan was indifferent to what he said, and knew that Ryan had little experience in this area, so he explained to him: "Don't underestimate what I just said. In fact, it's not just Catherine, even you, it's Alina or Oz, etc., the empire has sent personnel to investigate."
After hearing what Orlando said, Ryan became interested. Orlando continued to explain: "Lian, the hometown of Dense Fog Town where you were born, there was also a person who went there dressed as a businessman. Master Delanai didn't see it, but Galibu did. Live in a wooden house outside the town.”
"Ah, Brother Orlando, are my parents in good health?"
Orlando saw that Ryan didn't care about secretly investigating him, but cared about his family, so he comforted him and said: "Don't worry, Ryan. Your father is in good health now and often goes hunting. Your mother At the end of last year, I felt a little unwell, but after a few days of recuperation, I was fine."
"Ah, is my mother not feeling well? This is her old problem." Ryan's eyes were a little red: "She has had this problem since she gave birth to me. She feels a little uncomfortable every winter. It's a pity that I didn't have it last year. Find a way to stay with her."
Seeing that Ryan was unhappy, Orlando explained calmly: "Okay, Ryan, after you defeat the orcs, you can take Faras home for a walk. Luke is not one of those decadent nobles. I won’t go against you.”
When Ryan heard what Orlando said, he couldn't help it. He blushed and lowered his head. Orlando laughed and continued: "Whether it is you or Alina and others, as long as we go to the place where you used to live, we will definitely find you." After all, you didn’t lie about the traces of your life, but Catherine’s past is like a blank sheet of paper, written in a few words, and there is no way to confirm it even after spending a lot of manpower and material resources. This is a headache.”
Ryan asked in confusion: "Why do we have to check these?"
Orlando said: "For the safety of the empire, and for you to gain the trust of His Majesty the King in the future, there is absolutely no harm in investigating your past. This kind of investigation will not disturb your family, it is just to confirm, because there was once a South The lord sent spies to sneak into the Royal Knights and steal the secrets of the Holy Knights, so this rule was introduced later, well, don’t take it seriously, this is not directed at any one person."
"Your Majesty now favors Catherine. After all, the latter once took a risk to save the pen. If Catherine is a spy for the southern lords, it is unlikely that she will risk her life to protect your majesty. Instead, it will be more in the interest of the southern lords if she sits back and watches your majesty die. Yi Archbishop Bell also wrote me a letter. He said that he had tested Catherine with light magic to prove that Catherine did not use transfiguration, illusion magic or other means to change her appearance. Since there was no way to prove that Catherine had evil intentions, And since His Majesty insists on marrying her, I think this is the only way to go. Anyway, as long as I am here, no one can even think of hurting Your Majesty in the slightest."
After talking for a while, Ryan saw that Orlando was not in good spirits, so he persuaded him to get more rest, and then left,
Ryan returned to his residence, lifted the tent curtain and walked in. There was a steaming barbecue on the table in the tent, while Faras stood with her back to the door. Tenderness emerged in Ryan's heart, especially after what happened to Orlando just now. These words made Ryan make up his mind. After repelling the orcs, he would take Farasi home. So Ryan walked gently behind Farasi, stretched out his hands and hugged Farasi,
Faras was startled at first, and then she felt the familiar aura on Ryan's body, and her stiff body returned to its original softness. Faras nestled her head in Ryan's arms and said softly: "Lian, thank you, This dress is really "
"Shh." Ryan put his right index finger gently on Farasi's mouth, and then said in Farasi's ear: "Don't say these, there is no need for words like thank you between you and me."
"Yeah." Faras said softly, "You must be tired. You were so good today. You killed at least 500 enemies."
"Haha." Ryan said with a smirk on his face: "What's the reward?"
"I hate it."
"Fani, how about this, 100 orcs kiss each other, okay?"
"Go to hell, you have a beautiful idea."
"No, how about 200? Oops." Ryan was still trying to bargain with Farasi, but suddenly he felt pain in his ribs. It turned out that Farasi was shy and didn't want Ryan to continue talking, so she pinched Ryan's ribs hard with her fingers. On the ribs, although Ryan was killing everyone on the battlefield, he did not bless himself with stone skin at this moment, so his body was defenseless to Farasi.
"It hurts, it hurts, Fanny." Ryan begged for mercy softly in Farasi's ear. Although the latter looked angry on his face, the strength in his hands was getting weaker and weaker.
"Fanny."
"Well, is something wrong?"
"No, I just wanted to call you."
"OK."
"Fanny."
"Um."
"After I defeat the orcs, I'll take you out for a walk."
"OK."
"We have seen the grasslands in the north and the sea in the east. Alando and I have also established a mercenary group in the south. Why don't we go to the west of the continent and have a look."
"Um."
"Hey, let's go to Dense Fog Town."
"Um."
"Hey, it's Dense Fog Town." Seeing that Faras didn't say anything, Ryan said it deliberately,
"I know, don't you just want to go back to your hometown?"
"Uh." Ryan was startled by Farasi's words. Could it be that she had guessed what he was thinking
"You." Faras turned around and poked Ryan's forehead hard with her finger: "We women in the Redia family all have the tradition of striving for their own happiness."
"Ah." Ryan was dumbfounded after hearing this, but it was normal to think about it. Ryan still vaguely remembered that Farasi's sister Sophis Redea had resolutely married General Orlando regardless of other people's opinions. ,
"Humph." Faras said to Ryan: "Now you are satisfied. Don't you just want to hear this from me when you go around? I tell you, if you are sorry for me in the future, I will..."
"I swear, if I ever feel sorry for Fani in the future, I will be banned from the curse." Before Ryan could finish swearing, Farasi's little hand gently blocked his mouth.
No matter how stupid Ryan is, he knows what to do now. He will never ask at such a delicate moment like the idiot in a certain story: "Can I kiss you."
"Hey." Farasi's soft lips were kissed hard by Ryan. After fighting for a whole day, Ryan's physical and mental fatigue disappeared without a trace in this kiss. Just now My stomach, which was still growling in protest, died down in front of the steaming barbecue behind me. In the small tent, there was only the heartbeat of a pair of intimate lovers.
