Chapter 609, Carpe Die Association

Since Ryan's rise in the old world, especially after killing the champion of Khorne, the king of Scalins, Egil-Red Eye, his existence has officially entered the sight of the four gods of chaos.

There have always been countless conspiracies surrounding Lion, but no matter how troublesome, he survived (many troubles were solved by the Emperor's Custodian and Angron).

And the four gods of chaos also face a problem, that is, their influence on the main material world is limited in the great guardian and the maelstrom, and there are still difficulties if they want to directly intervene in the mortal world.

So the evil god pinned his hopes on the Chaos sect that was active and lurking in the mortal world.

So here comes the question again, is the Kingdom of Knights across the mountain convenient for the activities of the Chaos Sect?

The answer is, inconvenient.

The knights of Brittania generally believe in the fairies of the lake, and a very small number of knights believe in the sea god Mannan (Boldeiro), the war goddess Mirmidia (Carcassonne), the goddess of mercy Thalia (Courona), the knights are often the guardians of order and firmly control the territory, which makes the corruption of the forces of chaos among the nobles very low.

Not to mention the serfs, because maybe they didn't understand what these strange guys were talking about after talking for a long time.

Therefore, it is very difficult to go to Ryan's territory to do things. First, there is no mass base, and second, there is no superstructure.

But it is completely different in the empire. As mentioned earlier, the chaos sect in the empire can be described in eight words, that is, a hundred flowers bloom and a hundred schools of thought contend.

The Association of Carpenters is one of them. This sect is the largest Slaanesh sect in the history of the empire. Its history has been accompanied by the splendor of the empire since Charlemagne established the empire. , when people were obsessed with many achievements in architecture, art, culture, etc., the Carpe Die Association gradually spread among the imperial aristocratic circles. The earliest Carpe Die Association was only responsible for providing entertainment and food for the court, but as time went on, , the association grew larger, corrupting many of the great nobles and corrupting them into followers of Slaanesh.

Until the era of the Three Emperors, a demon hunter accidentally discovered that the great reciter of the Justice Church in Nur was actually a Slaanesh believer. Although countless nobles and clergy tried their best to obliterate the demon hunter and erase the truth, The witcher revealed the truth before his death, which shocked the entire empire and sent troops to exterminate it.

But just after that, the famous plague and black death broke out, which left the Carpegasy Association a sigh of relief. It began to lurk in Nur. After learning the lesson, this Chaos sect is now very very cautious. They neither Participating in the internal affairs of the palace, and not participating in wars, they think that war is a matter of Khorne, internal affairs are a matter of Tzeentch, and the pursuit of health and longevity is a matter of Nurgle. They only want to satisfy their desires, which makes them always in the hunt. Out of sight of daemons and battle priests, at least temporarily.

Now, they're targeting something new.

In the darkness, several voices continued to talk.

"Lian Malcador's strength is too strong, we must not hope for a head-on confrontation." A distorted voice said: "We must protect ourselves and hide ourselves in order to be able to find opportunities."

"We have confirmed the figure of the target. He is indeed located in the large suite on the top floor of the Royal Hotel." Another younger voice said: "But how do we implement the plan?"

"Shut up, this is not what you should know. What you need is execution, not understanding." In the shadows, a voice said impatiently: "If there is a definite plan, we will tell you, but now, The fewer people who know, the better."

"Now, let's see what we can do." The distorted voice echoed in the darkness: "This is Brunswick, it is difficult for us to gather an army, and no one can deal with Ryan Malcador, Even to confirm the target, we have to take advantage of him to take people out to do it."

"Not urgent,

We have a lot of time and it's the will of the gentle lady. "

"We are in the dark, and they are in the light. There are many of our people in the capital of the empire. We must wait patiently. Right now, there is the best time."

"The royal chief wizard competition?"

"Yes, wait patiently! We have collected this."

At this time, a faint purple light finally shone in the room, and the carpet splashed by hot milk was placed on a table. Several black hands groped on the carpet for a while, and picked up a stick from the carpet. Blonde Hair: "That's it."

The leader began to chant mantras.

Halfway through the incantation, the leader of the Slaanesh Cultist suddenly stopped casting the spell: "Wait, I feel something is wrong! There is something wrong with the spell, this is not the spell I want!"

No one answered him.

"Damn! You?" The leader of the Slaanesh cult immediately took out a dagger with the holy emblem of Slaanesh from his arms, and his hands couldn't help shaking: "Answer me!"

Still no answer.

Soon, the room returned to a dead silence.

a week later.

"A large-scale murder took place in a well-known house of the von Slack family in the affluent area of ​​Brunswick. A dozen members of the von Slack family were all killed in the murder, and the murderer even died after the murder. Stayed at the scene for several hours before leaving." Sitting in the living room of the large suite of the Royal Hotel, Ryan read the newspaper, frowning: "This kind of thing can happen in the capital of the empire, I think Karl- Franz will send someone to rectify it."

"Carl is very angry about what happened." Emilia hugged her son and fed him. The Duchess of the Empire felt that this family of three atmosphere was exactly what she wanted: "He has sent a large number of It was checked by hand."

"At this critical time when the royal chief wizard competition is about to usher in, the emperor will not allow any turmoil to happen." Ryan still frowned, his blue eyes spinning back and forth: "But there is a trace of turmoil from the beginning to the end of this matter." It’s weird, the murderer didn’t want to rob money, nor did he have any other purpose, and after the incident, he actually stayed in place for several hours before leaving, what is the reason for this?”

"Mom, I want to eat meat, I want to eat meat~" Little Frederick acted like a baby in his mother's arms, and at the same time shouted to Ryan: "I want Dad to hug me, Dad feed me meat~"

"Okay~ eat meat~" Ryan quickly put down the newspaper and picked up his son. The little boy happily found a place to sit in his father's arms, and then pinched his father's face with his hands.

"Hahahaha~" Ryan's face was very hard, Frederick couldn't pinch it and felt pain in his hands, tearing up with grievances, which caused Ryan and Emilia to laugh, and the Duchess of the Empire suddenly felt very happy.

In the kitchen, Olika and Sylvia were frying steaks. Emilia saw Ryan hugging her son, talking and laughing, and suddenly remembered something, and blushed: "Frederick?"

"What's the matter, Mom?" The little boy was still very close to his mother.

"Tell me, mother will give you another brother or sister, okay?" Emilia's beautiful face was flushed, she was talking to her son, but her eyes were on Ryan.

"I want a sister, I want a sister!" Little Frederick shouted happily: "Mom, if it's a sister, what's your name?"

"Could it be called Rem or Ram?" Emilia's eyes were still on Ryan.

"Okay!" The little boy didn't think too much, he raised his hands and said yes loudly.

Ryan felt a little stressed. He hugged his son, and before he had time to say anything, the Duchess of the Empire rushed to speak: "What do you think, Dad? Okay?"

"Uh..." Ryan was a little ashamed: "Emilia, it's impossible to say."

"There's nothing in doubt, so let's make a happy decision." The little maid waved her hand and settled the matter quite domineeringly. Ryan had nothing to do about it.

After a while, Suria also came out of the room. At this time, the female knight had resumed her usual dignified, elegant, and graceful appearance. She said to Ryan with some reproach: "What are you talking about outside, so loud?" , I managed to put my son to sleep."

"Look at this." Ryan handed the newspaper to Suria, and the female knight moved her long legs and sat beside Ryan, took the newspaper, and the news on the newspaper immediately made Suria's expression slightly changed: "This is terrible. Not fun, Lane, kids can't be in danger."

"In addition to this, there is one more thing." Ryan frowned: "According to Olika and Silvia, on the day we visited the Imperial Royal Zoo, a waiter who acted strangely once came into the room He was wearing white leather shoes, which is unusual for a hotel attendant."

"Wait... the day we visited the zoo, wasn't that the day when this murder happened?" The wise female knight immediately realized that there was a problem: "I think, this incident and the previous incident Connected!"

"Calm down, Suria, this is Brunswick." Ryan stood up, he thought for a while, and sat down shaking his head: "These two things may or may not be related, but we must not mess up. Let’s pretend nothing happened for the time being, a week later will be the match of the chief wizard of the Imperial Royal Family, at this juncture, the emperor will not give us the power to search everywhere.”

"But our son is here!" Suria said dissatisfiedly, and the female knight was very concerned about this matter: "Lyan, this is not what fathers and mothers should do..."

Just then, lunch was ready, and Olika and Sylvia brought it up. Today's lunch was Rick's Steak, Cauliflower and Macaroni with Tomato Sauce, served with bread and corn chowder.

"Madam, don't think too much, let's eat first." The dark elf put the steak in front of Suria, and Olika said respectfully: "Today's lunch is Rick's steak."

"Thank you." Su Liya had no choice but to put away her serious expression, and thanked Olika. No matter what the situation, Su Liya, as the daughter of a great nobleman and the duchess, maintained a perfect posture, and she also The five or six-month-old baby who asked for Devonhill was often made to cry by his mother.

"This is the tableware, ma'am." Olika handed over the knife, fork and spoon again. The tableware was wrapped in a soft napkin. Suria reached out to take the napkin and slowly opened it.

The napkin was opened halfway, and Surya's face changed slightly. She immediately closed the napkin again and pulled the tableware out of the napkin: "Okay, I see."

Lunch started in the restaurant.

………I am the dividing line for cutting steak………

Meanwhile, Old World, Empire, Talabekland, Bloodpine Forest.

The great alchemist of the empire led an army of about 8,000 people slowly marching on a relatively wide road in the forest. They were already very close to Brunswick.

Just a month ago, this army wiped out a Chaos army in the northern part of Kislev, on the mountain pass of the Eastern Province, and successfully prevented the other party from releasing the ancient dragon demon Kerek-Sun Eater. The great alchemist also formally won the trust of the imperial army by virtue of this battle, because when thousands of molten metals fell from the sky, when the chaos armor and weapons that the chaos army was proud of all changed Turned into lead and clay, when those terrible chaos eggs have turned into gilded statues when they charge, it is difficult for the imperial army not to regard Gelt as the savior and reliable partner of the empire.

And more importantly, the great alchemist is a popular man under Emperor Karl Franz, and he has won the trust and reliance of the emperor. At first, some imperial generals were quite critical of this, but when they saw Gelt on the battlefield After taking the lead and shouting "fortheemperor", the generals of the empire were ashamed of their previous superficial ideas, and no one questioned Gelt's loyalty and belief.

And unity is the key to this army's victory and successful return.

But now, what appeared in front of Gelt was the supreme dean of the Academy of Light, Gottfric Odo, and his thousands of troops. The supreme dean of the Academy of Light rode on an imperial flying horse. , the army under his command was obviously not good at coming. This army blocked the road and showed no sign of moving away. They aimed their sharp halberds, muskets and black holed imperial cannons at the army returning from the expedition.

The imperial army under Gelt's command obviously felt grief and disbelief at this scene.

A month ago, for the sake of the empire, for mankind, and for the old world, they fought to the death with the Chaos army on the mountain pass of Kislev Oriental Province. In the severe cold and thin air of the plateau, these soldiers tried to prevent the Chaos army from releasing The Elder Dragon Krek-Sun Eater, without complaint shouting the name of the Empire and Emperor Karl-Franz, defeated the Chaos army.

But now, the scarred and exhausted soldiers can't even return home?

The army was shaken for a while, and Gelt immediately rode out on the Pegasus Xunyin when he saw this. There was a sound like iron scraping under the metal mask of the great alchemist: "Odo, are you here to welcome me?"

"I have a proposal, Gelt!" Odo was riding on the pegasus, and the supreme dean of Guangming Academy said calmly: "We are all human beings, can you and your army be stationed in the blood pine forest for a while? So... for a week or two? Don't worry, I have already arranged clearly for all your board, lodging and military pay."

"Wow!" The imperial army returning from the expedition burst into an uproar, what is the dean of Guangming Academy going to do? !

Gelt's voice was calm: "So, you won't allow me to go back to Brunswick?"

"It's all for your own good, Great Alchemist." Odo nodded, and the supreme principal of Guangming Academy said loudly: "That's not a suitable place for you. Doing this is good for you, good for me, and good for everyone it is good."

"So... what if I say no?" The tone of the great alchemist was still flat.

"Then I can only say sorry!"
