Chapter 272: Signing Ceremony (2)
"Well, that's good." Ryan laughed 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 at my hands is probably more than 70,000 or 80,000, right? Especially in the recent battle of Cassano, I single-handedly defeated the opponent's two legions, although the battle report was not counted when I left, but I think that the battle will not be less than 50,000. ”
"But I did so much killing, not for my own ambition or anything, but for the sake of protecting my people. In Thor's Fortress, in the Imperial Capital, in Cassano...... All my battles are about defending against the invaders, all about protecting the innocent, so no matter how many massive kills I inflicted, I still have a clear conscience. ”
"Hmm!" Harold didn't fully understand the meaning of Ryan's words, but he still nodded his little head solemnly, and then he also spoke: "Mr. Ryan, I agreed to your three requests, did you also agree to me one?" ”
"Hey, you're going to talk to me about the conditions? Okay, I'll hear what you want. ”
"Ahem!" the little king Harold pretended to be an adult and coughed a few times before opening his 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 His Majesty's magic teacher, I canonize you as the chief royal magician of the Empire!" Harold said this, and his appearance immediately changed back to the appearance of a child: "You are not allowed to cheat, if you promise to teach me magic, then you must accept my canonization." ”
Ryan frowned, obviously Harold's condition was beyond his expectations, and his gaze once again glanced at the face of Farass on the side, and found that the latter, although he was rarely surprised, was signaling him to agree with his color. Ryan knew that since it wasn't arranged by Faraz, it was very likely that Orlando was planning it behind his back, but that was fine, at least the relationship between everyone would be much closer in the future, and Faraz wouldn't be too embarrassed when he got along with Harold, so he nodded and agreed.
"Since Mr. Ryan has agreed to become the Empire's Chief Royal Magician, then we will proceed with the entire canonization ceremony as soon as possible. Orlando stood up just right, and he said loudly: "That's the end of today's signing ceremony, we have prepared a banquet outside, please!"
After the important officials of the imperial capital and the representatives of other lords from the mainland all slowly left, Faras pulled Ryan and walked straight to Orlando, and the latter smiled and waved his hand, causing everyone else to retreat, and the little king Harold was also led away by his personal guard.
Seeing that there were only three of them left in the entire council room, Faras spoke in a tone that seemed to be smiling rather than smiling: "Brother-in-law, your trick is really powerful, and you directly counted me and Ryan into it." ”
"Yes, I planned this, but I didn't expect Harold to do it to this extent, he is just a child, and when he grows up, he must be a hero. ”
"Well, it's good if you agree, so that Ryan won't suspect that I'm doing it. Faraz said puffingly.
"It's okay, in fact, I can completely guess that this is my brother-in-law's handiwork. Ryan spread his hands and said, "Fani is my wife now, and if she wishes so, she can tell me directly, there is no need to put me in such a situation." ”
"I'm sorry, Ryan, and Fani. Orlando said in an apologetic tone: "I am also forced to do so, we must somehow prove that the future of this empire belongs to the little king Harold, and now Faraz is the archon of the empire, and Ryan is the chief magician of the royal family, which not only makes the relationship between Cassano and the imperial capital closer, but also does not make others suspect that you have the idea of usurping power." ”
"Hey, you're pretty good to this Harold, he's really just a king you chose casually?" Faras looked at Orlando with a smile, and Orlando didn't intend to hide it at all, he spread his hands and said to Faras and Ryan seriously: "Harold is actually His Majesty Fernando's own flesh and blood." ”
"Ah, I didn't expect that, didn't he get married?" asked Faras.
Orlando's face was slightly embarrassed, and he didn't answer Faraz directly, while Ryan seemed to guess what Orlando meant, and he tried to explain: "Harold is probably the one that His Majesty rose up one night...... Oops!"
Farass twisted in Ryan with a flushed face, and Ryan's words just now made the two of them think of their madness last night, which made Farath feel very shy, in order to hide his expression, he twisted Ryan hard to retaliate for his crazy actions last night.
Orlando turned a blind eye to the intimate little action between Faras and Ryan, and just said very seriously: "I don't know exactly what happened, the first time I saw Harold was when His Majesty took me on a patrol in a small manor in the suburbs, at that time, he was about half a year old." ”
"Your Majesty told me the whole thing, and Harold was indeed left by him on a whim, and after the birth of the child, His Majesty executed his mother, and then gave the child to be raised by an ordinary farmer, and everything was treated as if it were an illegitimate child. ”
"Ah, this, this is too cruel!" Farrath gripped Ryan's hand tightly, she never expected that Fernando XIII would be so ruthless as to kill the child's mother while it was still an infant.
"Unfortunately, when I learned about this, the child's mother had died a few months earlier. Orlando shook his head with a heavy expression: "In fact, since that time, I have only seen Harold once a year, basically every time I have accompanied His Majesty, until 4 years ago, when Harold was only 3 years old, His Majesty also ......"
"I see, I finally know why you always maintained some kind of neutrality before, brother-in-law!" Faras had a flash of inspiration and suddenly spoke: "At that time, Victor and I were very strange, brother-in-law, you have always maintained neutrality between me and Catherine, it seems that you are stalling for time, waiting for something, it turns out that you are waiting for this child to grow up!"
"Yes!" Orlando nodded in response to Faraz's question, "I was indeed waiting for Harold to grow up, but I didn't expect Catherine to be a lich incarnate either, I just thought she was just an ambitious and scheming woman at first." ”
"I'm sorry, brother-in-law, I have a question for you. Ryan also interjected: "When did you master the power of that angel descending?"
Orlando stared deeply at Ryan, and then said to him: "After that night, when half of the palace was reduced to ruins by two powerful forces, I deeply felt the weakness of my own power, and I asked myself that even if I was there at the time, there was no power to stop anything, so I prayed with a pious heart to my Lord God, Accra, hoping to wait for him to give him more power, but unexpectedly, ......"
"Unexpectedly?" and Farrath were both captivated by Orlando's words, and once again they asked in unison.
"I never thought that not only the god of war Accra heard my prayer, but even our supreme god of light also heard it, it turned out that the one who directly destroyed the projection of the demigod lich plane with the hand of God that night was the god of war Accra, but although his power is huge, he still has to abide by the laws of our plane, and there is no way to force it to deal with Cons, so he can only take advantage of the short void channel generated when the two forces of Cons and Iber exploded, and teleport a little bit of his own power. ”
"I reverently told them all I knew, and although there were too many doubts about it, because I didn't know the truth of the whole thing at the time, but thanks to the wisdom of the two gods, they quickly understood the whole process. In this way, the god of war, at the behest of the Supreme God of Light, gave me the power of angelic descendation. ”
"That's how it all went. Orlando explained the matter briefly, and then said to Faraz, "Okay, let's not talk about that, if you have time in the evening, let's have a good reunion as a family, and let my father see how you two sisters are doing now." ”
Of course, Ryan and Farath agreed immediately, especially Ryan, who was still a little nervous in his heart, because he went to see Luke before, but he was only a friend of Faraz, and now as Faraz's husband, it feels completely different, and he saw Luke imprisoned by Catherine back then, this experience also made Ryan feel ashamed of Farath, although Farath has been comforting Ryan, but Ryan still secretly swore in his heart that he must catch Catherine and use all means to force her to release Luke's soul and resurrect Luke, who fell into a coma。
