"Well, that's good." Ryan smiled and said the third request: "We have power to protect, not to kill. In the past few years, the number of people who have died in my hands is probably more than... It’s seventy or eighty thousand, especially in the recent battle of Cassano, where I defeated two of my opponent’s legions by myself. Although the battle report was not compiled when I left, I think it won’t be less than fifty thousand in that battle.”
"However, I caused so many killings not for my own ambitions or anything else. I did it entirely to protect my people. In the Thunder God Fortress, in the Imperial Capital, in Cassano... all my battles were When resisting the invaders, all I do is protect those innocent people, so no matter how much damage I cause, I still have a clear conscience."
"Yeah." Harold actually didn't fully understand the meaning of Ryan's words, but he still nodded his little head solemnly, and then he also said: "Teacher Ryan, I promised you Of the three requests, do you agree to one of them?"
"Hey, you're going to negotiate terms with me, okay, I'll listen to what you want."
"Ahem." The little king Harold pretended to be an adult and coughed a few times at the front of the mouth, then struggled to jump out of Ryan's arms, put his hands behind his back, raised his head and said to Ryan: "Mr. Ryan, as the king Your Majesty’s magic instructor, I will confer you the title of chief royal magician of the empire.” When Harold said this, his expression immediately changed back to that of a child: “You must not lie, you promised to teach me magic, Then you must accept my canonization."
Ryan's brows jumped. It was clear that Harold's condition was beyond his expectation. His eyes once again glanced at Farasi's face aside, and found that although the latter was not surprised at all, she was using colors to indicate He agreed, and Ryan knew that since it was not arranged by Faras, then it was most likely that Orlando was planning it behind the scenes. However, this was good, at least the relationship between us would be much closer in the future, and Faras also felt comfortable when getting along with Harold. It wouldn't be too embarrassing, so he nodded and agreed.
"Since Mr. Lane has agreed to become the chief royal magician of the empire, we will carry out the entire canonization ceremony as soon as possible." Orlando stood up at the right moment and said loudly: "That's it for today's signing ceremony. We have prepared a banquet outside. ,please."
After all the important officials of the imperial capital and representatives from other lords on the mainland left slowly, Faras took Ryan and walked directly to Orlando. The latter waved his hand with a smile and told everyone else to leave. King Harold was also led away by his bodyguard,
Seeing that there were only three of them left in the entire meeting hall, Faras spoke with a half-smiling tone: "Brother-in-law, your move is really powerful, you directly plotted both Ryan and me."
"Yes, I planned this matter, but I didn't expect Harold to be able to do it to this extent. He is just a child. I think when he grows up, he will definitely be a hero."
"Well, just agree to it, so that Ryan won't suspect that it was me." Farasi said angrily,
"It doesn't matter. In fact, I can completely guess that this is the work of my brother-in-law." Ryan spread his hands and said, "Fani is now my wife. If she wants this, she can tell me directly. There is no need to put me in this situation. Such a point.”
"I'm so sorry, Ryan, and Fanny." Orlando said in an apologetic tone: "I am also helpless. We must prove in some way that the future of this empire belongs to the little king Harold. Now Faras You are the Grand Consul of the Empire, and Ryan is the Royal Chief Magician. This not only makes the relationship between Cassano and the Imperial City closer, but also prevents others from suspecting that you have the idea of usurping power."
"Hey, you are very good to this Harold. He is really just the king you randomly selected." Faras looked at Orlando with a smile, but Orlando had no intention of hiding it. He spread his hands and looked at the law seriously. Russ and Ryan said: "Harold is actually His Majesty Fernando's biological flesh and blood."
"Ah, I didn't expect this. Didn't he not get married?" Farasi asked,
Orlando looked slightly embarrassed and did not directly answer Faras's words, but Ryan seemed to have guessed what Orlando meant. He tried to explain: "Harold was probably his majesty who rose up one night... Oops."
Faras turned red and twisted at Ryan. What Ryan said just now reminded the two of them of their madness last night. This made Faras feel very shy. In order to cover up her expression, she used her strength. Go and twist Ryan in revenge for his crazy behavior last night,
Orlando turned a blind eye to the intimate gestures between Faras and Ryan, but said seriously: "I don't know exactly what happened. The first time I met Harold was when His Majesty took me on a tour incognito. At that time, he was in a small manor in the suburbs. At that time, he was only about half a year old."
"Your Majesty told me the whole thing. Harold was indeed left behind on a whim. After the child was born, His Majesty executed his mother and then gave the child to an ordinary farmer to raise. Everything was as an illegitimate child. Deal with it that way.”
"Ah, this, this is too cruel." Faras held Ryan's hand tightly. She never thought that Fernando XIII would be so cruel as to kill the mother of the child when he was still in his infancy. ,
"Unfortunately, when I learned about this, the mother of the child had died a few months ago." Orlando shook his head with a heavy expression: "In fact, from that time on, I only saw Harrow every year. It was only once, and basically he accompanied His Majesty every time. Until 4 years ago, when Harold was only 3 years old, His Majesty also... "
"I understand. I finally understand why, brother-in-law, you always maintained some kind of neutrality before." Faras had a flash of inspiration and suddenly spoke: "At that time, Victor and I were very strange. Brother-in-law, you have always been between me and me. Catherine remained neutral, seeming to be stalling for time and waiting for something. It turns out that you are waiting for this child to grow up."
"Yes." Orlando nodded and answered Farasi's question head-on: "I was indeed waiting for Harold to grow up, but I didn't expect that Catherine turned out to be the incarnation of a lich. At first, I just thought she was just an ambition. She’s just a very serious and scheming woman.”
"Sorry, brother-in-law, I have a question for you." Ryan also interjected: "About when did you master the power of the angel descending."
Orlando stared at Ryan deeply, and then said to him: "After that night, when half of the palace was turned into ruins by two powerful forces, I deeply felt the weakness of my own strength. I asked myself that even at that time Even though I was there, I didn’t have any power to stop anything, so I prayed to my main god, the God of War, Accra, with a pious heart, hoping to wait until he would grant more power, but unexpectedly... "
"Unexpectedly." Both Ryan and Faras were attracted by Orlando's words, and they asked again in unison,
"I never thought that not only the God of War, Akela, heard my prayer, but also our Supreme God of Light. It turned out that it was the God of War who directly destroyed the projection of the demigod Lich plane with the hand of God that night. Carat, although his power is huge, he still has to abide by the laws of our plane. There is no way to deal with Kang Si by force. He can only take advantage of the short-lived moment when the two forces of Kang Si and Ibel explode. Void channel, send a little bit of your power over."
"I devoutly told them the whole process that I knew. Although it contained too many doubts, because I didn't know the truth of the whole thing at that time, but thanks to the wisdom of the two gods, they were still very happy. I soon understood the whole process, and just like that, the God of War, under the instruction of the Supreme God of Light, gave me the power of the angel’s descent.”
"That's how the whole thing happened." Orlando simply explained the matter clearly, and then said to Faras: "Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. If you have time in the evening, let's have a good reunion as a family, and let dad Look how well you two sisters are doing now."
Of course, Ryan and Faras agreed immediately, especially Ryan, who was quite nervous, because he had gone to see Luke before, but he was just a friend of Faras, and now as Faras's husband, he felt completely different, and Back then, he saw with his own eyes that Luke's soul was imprisoned by Catherine. This experience also made Ryan feel ashamed of Farasi. Although Farasi had been comforting Ryan, Ryan still secretly vowed in his heart that he must catch Catherine and use all his strength. All means forced her to release Luke's soul and resurrect Luke who fell into a coma.
