Chapter 220, Kalad Garament (Second Update!)

PS. This is the second update today, the third update is expected in the evening.

"I'm sorry, Godfather." Mahhubard's expression was very bad, and he bowed to apologize.

The hand that had been withered stretched out from the black robe and pointed directly at Mahhubard. The ring on his hand was shining. The owner of the hand signaled Mahhubard not to do this. Arkhan's voice was as elegant and polite as ever. Politeness: "It doesn't matter, my godson, things don't always go where we want. This failure just gives you more experience. It turns out that my previous plan was not perfect. "

Among the pale ripples, the fourth volume of Nagash appeared next to Arkhan. The book was opened, and the pages were turned page by page. It told various past events of Nagash, the Lord of the Undead. With all the magic he left behind, Arkhan felt the surging power in the book, and then put the book away: "Another book has returned to its original owner. Ah, the return of our Lord is close again. One step, this sacrifice is of very good quality and will enhance my lord’s strength.”

Mahhubard walked to Arkhan's side. The young knight errant showed his respect again, and then he asked: "Then what should I do next?"

"You may have been exposed, my godson. In order to seize the fourth volume, we may still be a little anxious." Arkhan leaned on his staff and motioned to Mathubard to look to the other side of the cave.

It was a map of Britannia. Britannia faced the sea to the north and faced the northern wasteland across the sea. It also faced the ocean to the west, and faced the empire through the gray mountains to the east.

"I hid it very well, so I shouldn't have been exposed, Godfather, but Fiona has doubted me today." Mahhubard told Arkhan about his experience today.

The Lich King's body has long since decayed, and he can no longer make any expressions. The only fluctuation is his voice: "Oh, my godson, Mathubad, this is a dangerous signal, Kurona, you can no longer Wait, let’s get ready to go to Musilon together.”

"Why? Godfather? I have obviously convinced Fiona to dispel her doubts, and I have gained her trust!" Mahhubard said in confusion. He walked up to Arkhan: "In addition to her, there are Who could possibly suspect me?"

"Too many people, my godson." Arkhan's voice was still so elegant: "The identity we prepared for you is indeed perfect, but it is a false identity after all. Yes, there are many conflicts among the dukes in this country. The new Duke of Connet, Raun, is not yet fully aware of the situation in his territory...but lies will eventually be exposed."

"Furthermore, even in this case, someone may still guess your true identity. My godson, don't think of knights as fools. Most of the knights in this country suffer from chivalry, but smart people There are some." Arkhan shook his head repeatedly: "You are too involved in some things. Making friends with that little girl is indeed a shortcut to going to Belion, but it will leave traces. My original intention was for you to seize the Knights Conference. Champion, in this case you will be promoted to a knight of the kingdom, and you will also receive rewards. Under such a halo, your previous series of suspicious actions will be forgotten...or temporarily forgotten."

"One runner-up is not enough, my godson." Arkhan shook his head repeatedly: "I didn't expect this. You are still careless, my godson."

Fury and embarrassment appeared on Mahhubard's face, his face turned blue, and his excitement could be felt even in the dark cave.

After a long time, the young knight errant sighed: "It was my mistake, godfather."

"I don't blame you for this, my godson. There was also a problem with my original plan. I originally planned to use the attack of Nurgle's army to consume the strength of the Holy Grail Knights. First of all, I didn't expect that the Great Demon Nurgle would be attacked. Defeated like that, and then I didn’t expect that the God’s Chosen Champion of Bichi was injured, causing the Witch of the Lake God to stay in the Holy Grail Cathedral and almost never leave. We have no chance to take action.” Arkhan continued to analyze: “The one with the best chance is In the days after the Knights Conference, if you succeed in winning the championship, while the whole city is intoxicated with the afterglow of the Knights Conference, you make a humble request to Morgiana as a champion and call her out, we will at least There is a 70% certainty of taking her down."

"But there is no need to worry now. The most important thing we lack is time. If this plan fails, we need the power of the Red Duke."

"Retreat, wait until daybreak, we will leave this place and go to Mousilon."

"yes!"

…………

Another ten days or so passed, and by mid-April, Ryan's injury was declared healed.

He still lives in the Holy Grail Cathedral. As the hero of the kingdom and the one who defeated Nurgle, he has become the focus of the serfs and knights. His existence is admired by everyone, and the outside world is also jealous of him.

Under the pressure of Morgiana, Richard had to come forward again and award Ryan a medal. A first-class Grand Cross Medal was hung on Ryan's chest, which was in sharp contrast to the previous second-class Iris Medal. At the age of twenty-six, he had won two high-level medals from the Kingdom in a row. Ryan was indeed proud of himself.

He has already gone through the process of conferring honors, so I won’t repeat it here. Anyway, Ryan can feel Richard’s helplessness and displeasure with him.

In the afternoon after the award ceremony, Ryan followed Morgiana with his hands behind his back. Emilia had already returned to Winford with Sulia. Ryan simply ordered the two knight errants who followed him, Lops and Hux also took the people back to the territory, reported to Angron, and stayed alone in Kurona.

Even if Ryan recovered, Morgiana did not move out of his room, but just rested in a separate bed with him.

"Is there still no news about the Archbishop of the Goddess of Mercy?" Ryan asked Morgiana.

"No." Morgiana shook her head repeatedly, and the voice of the Lake God Witch was a little wavering: "We have searched the entire Kurona and surrounding villages, and she seems to have disappeared. No one has seen her again, Mercy The Goddess Church is already discussing candidates for a new archbishop.”

"Mahubard is also missing." Ryan frowned.

Just after that day's windmill incident, when the Lake God's prophets visited Mathhubard's residence the next day, they learned from the shopkeeper that the knight had a quarrel with the eldest lady of the Duke of Belion's family, and then became angry. And run away.

This incident seemed to give people the feeling that something was wrong, but it seemed that there was nothing wrong. The Lake God Prophet found witnesses and confirmed that the man and woman had indeed had a big quarrel. Fiona shouted, "Get out of here, I Enraged that he didn't want to see you again, Mahhubard left a note and left Kurona that same day.

"My Lord, this seems like a coincidence, but I am almost certain that even if Mahhubard is not the instigator, he is at least an important role in it." Ryan was not surprised by this result, and he continued to talk to him. Morgiana discussed: "If nothing else happens, the next time we see him will be on the battlefield."

"I would also like to thank your Marquise Sulia. If she hadn't defeated Mathubad, we would have faced the champion of the Knights Conference. The knight who was awarded the crown by me was actually a traitor!" Morgiana Sighing softly, she motioned for Ryan to come closer to her: "Don't pay attention to me so far away, lady's champion, come closer."

"I think this is good." Ryan shook his head. The Lake God Witch has great power and power, and her attitude is always cold. It would be better if the two of them were in the suite of the Holy Grail Cathedral without outsiders. Forget it outside.

"..." Morgiana's brows furrowed. She stopped immediately and signaled Ryan to come over: "Come here, lady's champion, an acquaintance of yours is here today."

"Familiar?" Ryan then approached and walked side by side with Morgiana.

"Yes, an acquaintance of yours." Morgiana smiled slightly: "When we first received the request for help from the empire, it was he who led the army of knights to Marienburg to support you."

"Oh! It's Mr. Jules!" Ryan smiled, and he nodded repeatedly: "So it's him!"

"Exactly, Jules was sent by me to clear out some green-skin remnants in the Gray Mountains before, and now he is back." The look on Morgiana's face looked better.

Walking through the corridor along the courtyard, in the lobby of the Holy Grail Cathedral, the Holy Grail Knight Jules and another Kingdom Knight whom Ryan did not recognize were waiting for the reception of the Lake God Witch. When Morgiana appeared, Jules and the Kingdom Knight They saluted Morgiana together: "My Highness."

Ules may be one of the most powerful Holy Grail Knights in the entire kingdom. He once killed two Chaos Giants by himself, destroyed hordes of beastmen by himself, and he once killed a dragon in battle. , eliminated a lurking Chaos Champion in the Principality of Carcassonne, and beheaded the Necromancer in the Awl Marsh.

This famous Holy Grail Knight of the Kingdom is tall and has shining eyes. He wears a chainmail made of mithril and a breastplate full of various artistic patterns. He wears a sparkling A blue cloak and a golden Holy Grail Knight Commander's emblem hung on his chest. His body was covered with countless coats of arms, holy beads, pendants, and portraits of the Lake Fairy that symbolized piety. On the top of his helmet was a golden giant. Dragon statue.

Ryan could feel that Jules' strength was very close to the Holy Realm. The aura on his body was very powerful, just like the sun, warming his compatriots and burning his enemies.

"Hello, Lord Jules, we haven't seen each other for a long time since the Battle of Colleson." Ryan took the initiative to reach out to Jules.

"Hehehe~ Your Excellency Ryan is really amazing. The series of great deeds that Your Excellency Ryan has accomplished since he came here make me proud. I feel very proud to be able to fight side by side with the lady's chosen champion." Jules Said with great respect: "Let us destroy evil together in the name of ladies!"

Morgiana watched the exchange between Ryan and Jules, and the expression on her face seemed much warmer. She said calmly: "What a glorious moment. Let us give glory to the two heroes of the kingdom!"

"Glory!" Everyone in the Holy Grail Cathedral shouted together.

The kingdom knight who looked about thirty years old following Jules also walked up. He said hello to Ryan: "Hello, Your Highness Morgiana, Your Excellency Ryan, I am Kalad, Kalad-Jia. Lament, from Bastogne.”

"I have heard of your name, Kalad." Morgiana nodded with a smile: "Your feats include killing trolls and defeating the invasion of the greenskin tribe. In the name of a lady, you are an outstanding knight."

"This is really a great honor!" Kalad's face is thin but full of power. He has a pair of blue eyes and long black hair. He wears a golden headband on his head and the family crest of a white fire dragon on a red and blue background. Chapter, he saluted Morgiana and Ryan respectfully: "May every lake in the lady be extremely clear."

Ules was ordered to go to the Gray Mountains to wipe out a green-skin tribe that frequently harassed Bastogne. In fact, he lived up to expectations. The Holy Grail Knight and Kalad rode through the entire green-skin tribe on horseback. Ules He directly used his sword "Eternal Blade" to kill the green boss, and then killed him all the way out.

A rather violent, simple, but effective method, the premise is that you must have absolute confidence in your own strength.

Jules stayed with Kalad to partake of the Eucharist, and Morgiana entertained him and Kalad in the glory of the Lady of the Lake, and then blessed them with divine magic.

Ryan did not attend this dinner. This was an honor that belonged to Jules and Kalad. He was unwilling to participate, and for him, eating with Morgiana didn't seem unusual...

But when he went out for a walk and came back, he found that Jules had left and Kalad was still there.

The knight of the kingdom was talking to a very beautiful prophet of the Lake God in the courtyard of the cathedral. The prophet of the Lake God with blond hair and blue eyes was holding Kalad's hand and caressing his face. affection.

"Lover after a long separation?" Ryan came to Morgiana's side and asked curiously.

"Sisters and sisters reunited after a long separation." Morgiana looked through the glazed windows of the church: "That is Kalad's sister, called Anara. She is an excellent prophet of the Lake God under my command, and she is also a member of Ules. lover."

"I understand, it is for this reason that Mr. Kalard can follow Lord Jules, right?" Ryan nodded repeatedly. Most Holy Grail knights have a wife and several lovers (if they have a territory, they are called female courtiers) , many of the lovers of the Holy Grail Knights are the Lake God Prophet. The Lake God Prophet does not prohibit marriage. If necessary, the Lake God Witch will also preside over this work. The noble blood of the Holy Grail Knights must be continued.

"This is Mr. Kalad, Ryan, he is Count Garament of the Duchy of Bastogne." Morgiana picked up the potion Holy Grail, her tone was a little erratic, as if she was remembering something: "Anyone interested in listening Do you want to hear Kalad’s story, Ryan?”

"certainly."

"Calrad is the second child of Count Garament. His sister was taken away by the previous Lake God Witch when she was young due to her excellent magical talent. He was considered dead when he was born. But he survived tenaciously and gradually grew into an excellent knight."

"Calard's mother passed away very early. A few years later, Count Garament remarried and gave birth to another son. Due to the difference in blood, Calard's childhood was not happy. His stepmother did not care about him. Do not care."

"And just as Kalad grew into a knight errant, the attack of a large greenskin tribe changed his destiny forever..."

Callard appears, a very important character.
