Chapter 102: The Imperial Capital Messenger
Because he saw the two guys wearing the uniform of the imperial capital soldiers, Ryan knew in his heart that something very important must have happened, he gave up the plan to find Moses, but turned around and walked towards the top of the Iron Fist Castle.He had only walked less than 100 meters away, and there was a clear sound of horses' hooves behind him, Ryan looked slightly sideways behind him, only to see the five people rushing past him on war horses, and at this glance, Ryan saw clearly the appearance of the two people wearing the uniforms of the imperial capital soldiers.
Young and persistent, this is Lane's first impression of those two people, and those who can have this kind of mental outlook in the imperial capital are mostly trainee knights of the Royal Knights, and those two guys also saw Lane, but at this time, Lane was only wearing a magician's robe, and did not have any clothing that showed his identity, so those two guys were just a little strange that there were magicians here, so they rode by.
Ryan walked back slowly, sending him heartfelt greetings and blessings to everyone who saw him along the way, and Ryan greeted the people on the side of the road as he walked, pausing occasionally to say a few words. This is the advice that Old Bill made to Ryan, since Ryan intends to become the overlord of Cassano, in addition to showing his strong strength, he must also deliberately create an image that is close to the people, and to do this, Ryan does not need to pretend at all, because his original character is like this.
"Your Excellency!" a herald ran down from the top of the hill as quickly as he walked up to Ryan and said in a loud voice, "Lord Vivien, please go to the council chamber at once, there is something you need to attend to." β
Ryan nodded, indicating that he heard it, and the people around Ryan consciously walked away when they saw that Ryan had something to deal with. After the people around him dispersed, the herald lowered his voice and said, "It's a messenger from the Imperial Capital, and Lord Vivien said it was about the Royal Athletic Tournament, which has been suspended for three years. β
Ryan couldn't help but raise his eyebrows when he heard the words "AtlΓ©tico Royale", and his eyes immediately appeared in front of his eyes that he had many unforgettable experiences, but Ryan also knew that now was not the time for him to remember the past, so he nodded again and quickened his pace.
After about 20 minutes, Ryan returned to the council chamber at the top of the Iron Fist Castle, where Vivien and Adela were already sitting and waiting for him, and after seeing Ryan step in, Vivien immediately stood up and poured a glass of water for Ryan, while Adela obediently pulled a chair for Ryan to sit down.
"Just now there were two apprentice knights of the Royal Knights of the Imperial Capital, and they brought a letter from Orlando, the head of the Royal Knights, this one. When Vivien said this, she pushed an unopened letter to Ryan's side, Ryan frowned slightly, and said with some unhappiness: "Why don't you open it?" Didn't I say that you have the right to know everything that involves Cassano, and if I am not present, you can decide for yourself, at most tell me afterwards." β
"Good. Vivien picked up the letter on the table, tore it gently, and pulled out a thin piece of letter paper from it, while Ryan used Vivian's time to read the letter and talk to Adela about the migration of Saranal.
Many people in high positions are particularly fond of grasping power, and they have to personally take care of everything, and even a little matter thousands of kilometers away must be carried out in accordance with the steps he has planned in advance, and even the slightest mistake will cause him to be furious. However, Ryan was not going to do that, because in his opinion, these worldly things were no fun, and Ryan would rather choose a person to specialize in magic, so Ryan would never take care of the affairs that could be delegated, and his conversation with Adela was just to see if there was anything that needed to be solved by himself.
Ryan's approach has greatly mobilized the enthusiasm of his subordinates, because now those people under Ryan used to be the managers of the three families, they are experienced, as long as they point out a general direction and give them a little time to get used to it, these people can handle daily affairs skillfully, and they don't need to think about it anymore.
When the conversation between Ryan and Adela came to an end, Vivien put down the letter in her hand and said: "The letter was written by Faraz, the archon of the imperial capital, and she said in the letter that the competitive tournament that had been suspended in the past three years was caused by the orc invasion, and from this year, the royal athletic tournament was reheld, but the rules have changed slightly, each participant is registered in the name of an individual, and the competition is also held in a 1-on-1 situation. β
"It seems that this tournament is going to have to go. Ryan rubbed his nose and said to Vivien, Vivian knew about Ryan's past, and she also felt that it was very hidden to go to the imperial capital in the name of participating in this competitive competition, so she also agreed with Ryan's decision, although Adela didn't know Ryan's past, but she also thought that this was an opportunity to greatly increase Cassano's fame.
Since it was unanimously approved, Ryan was ready to meet the messengers of the imperial capital and give them an answer, this was the first time Ryan had received outsiders on a formal occasion, so he was extremely particular about his costumes, Vivien and Adela dressed Ryan himself, and they dressed Ryan in a special set of gold-inlaid robes, which made Ryan look much more majestic.
I have to say that after dressing up, Ryan looks more and more handsome and chic, and several maids next to him are blushing and bowing their heads, Vivian saw this scene, she deliberately joked to Ryan and said: "Fabia, I didn't expect you to be so handsome when you dress up, why do you always dress so plainly?"
Ryan said disapprehantly: "Men rely on strength, if I don't have this magical power, even if I wear the king's costume, who will respect me? I'm afraid they will all think of me as a circus clown, right? And now even if I dress as a beggar, for the whole Cassano, people who know me will definitely think that I am doing this with great significance, and I wear a red top hat today, and maybe tomorrow it will become the most popular thing in the whole plain." β
After helping Ryan get dressed, Vivien and Adela also changed into their own clothes, their clothes were much more modest, but still showed their respective identities. When all this was done, everyone gathered around Ryan and walked towards the main hall.
The main hall of the Iron Fist Castle is a place to receive guests, if it is just a messenger, it is impossible to receive them there, just call to the council chamber to meet each other, but since the two messengers are from the imperial capital, they are in respect of the empire, and it is not too much for Ryan to receive them in the main hall.
After Ryan and the others arrived, Old Bill, who was the butler, shouted loudly: "The overlord of the Cassano Plains, the ruler of the Emilio family, the protector of the Saranal family, the conqueror of the Seremis family, Mr. Fabia has invited guests from the imperial capital!"
This order was passed on layer by layer, and after a few minutes, there was a sound of footsteps outside the main hall, and the two messengers from the imperial capital walked in together, and they looked up and found that Ryan, the only one sitting in the middle of the main hall, immediately remembered that they had seen him under the castle, and the two messengers glanced at each other, they never thought that the man who was wearing an ordinary magician's robe just now was actually the target of their trip.
Although the two messengers didn't know anyone in the hall, Ryan was the only person sitting in the hall, and his identity was naturally revealed, so one of the messengers stepped forward and said to Ryan: "Hello, respected overlord of the Cassano Plains, we are trainee knights from the Royal Order of the Imperial Capital, we brought the letter from the head of the group to you, I don't know if you have read it?" If you have any doubts, you can ask us directly, and if you have a final decision, please let us know and we can bring it back to the imperial capital. β
Ryan's mood had completely regained his composure at the moment, and even though it was the first time he had been exposed to news about Faras and Orlando in three years, he was still steady, trying to play the role of Fabia in front of outsiders, and Vivien, who was standing beside him, said, "Please sit down with two guests." β
Several servants brought chairs and sat down the two messengers from the imperial capital, and then Vivien spoke again, "I wonder when this contest will start?
One of the messengers quickly stood up and replied, "The tournament will be held at the end of the year, if you want to send someone to participate, be sure to register at the Royal Knights Barracks before the end of November." As for how many people there are now, I'm sorry, I don't know, but as far as I know, all the cities and villages in the imperial capital that live in more than 500 people have sent messengers, and if each group of messengers can bring back good news, then the number of people participating will be an objective number. β
"Archon, I remember that the archon of the imperial capital should be Luke, how did he become Farrath?" Ryan suddenly spoke: "Also, is Her Majesty Queen Catherine okay now?"
"Oh, yes, three years ago Lord Luke was sick and could no longer handle government affairs, so his daughter Lady Faras took over his father's duties with the help of Victor. Her Majesty is well, and thank you for your concern. β
"Oh, by the way, is there a limit to registration?" said Adela suddenly.
The Imperial Capital Messenger spoke, "Anyone can sign up voluntarily, and there is no limit to the number of places. However, if the number is too large, we will start with a preliminary round and divide the participants into groups by drawing lots, and in any case the final will be held at the beginning of the new year next year, and Her Majesty will personally award the prize to the winner, and can satisfy a reasonable wish. β
"Please tell Her Majesty Queen Catherine that I will definitely go back to the Imperial Capital. Ryan already knew what he wanted to know, and he said lightly, "For something, I am determined to get it." β
The two messengers thought that Ryan was referring to the honor of the champion, so they stood up together and bowed to Ryan: "As you wish, Mr. Overlord of Cassano." β
