The Sun King's Evidence

In the end, Ryan didn't go to the lord. He happened to meet Oliver when he came out, so he stayed at Oliver's place for one night. If you hadn't gone, you wouldn't have known that Oliver's caravan was really quite big, with more than a dozen carriages and dozens of people. The carriage was filled with goods. The empire merchant helped him clean up a clean room and came out. Ryan stayed there for the night.

Early the next morning, as previously agreed, Ryan and Teresa met at the door of the hotel, and the two of them went to the Church of Justice first.

The wind and snow swept through the streets, and people came and went on the streets. The cries of vendors and the bargaining sounds of travelers came one after another. Someone was sweeping the snow at the door of every house. Everyone was wearing fur hats and heavy linen clothes. The Nords Being in the cold all year round, the residents have developed a certain degree of resistance to the cold. However, some businessmen from outside were wearing large cotton-padded jackets and shivering from the cold. This was inevitably ridiculed by the locals and cursed by the outsiders. Why is the weather in the north so cold?

The roads in Kalzenhaven are not specially built. Generally speaking, they are still mud roads. The snow on the ground mountains has been swept away, revealing black soil. The soil is frozen hard, and it is quite comfortable to step on it, because Ryan is walking in front. , the citizens and travelers along the way avoided him.

In this era, nobles were still in a dominant position in society. Even wealthy businessmen were nothing more than useful chess pieces in the eyes of the nobles. Once they were no longer needed, they would be killed or replaced by those who controlled the military. The nobles decided that only in Marienburg, the status of merchants would be higher, but that was only because the Grand Duke of Marienburg was the largest and richest merchant.

Today, Teresa Trowick changed into a firefox fur coat, with a white wool sweater and tight trousers underneath, black suede boots, and her long, shimmering black hair was tied up and combed She had a ponytail hanging in front of her body. Compared to her usual arrogance, the sorceress was dressed more modestly today, but the sparkling light in her eyes still showed that her nature had not changed and she had always been proud.

Ryan also changed his clothes. Since he was already in the town, there was no need to wear a full set of chain armor. Today he was wearing loose blue Nord noble standard clothes, a large silk ribbon tie on his chest, and a long suit jacket. Inside are a vest, a white shirt and blue trousers. Different from the tight trousers popular among the palace, the trousers worn by Ryan are relatively loose, and the trousers are partially stuffed into riding boots.

However, since Ludwig was crowned emperor of the new empire, it is true that tight-fitting pants have become less popular. Ludwig preferred to wear hunting clothes or loose clothes to attend banquets. Some nobles of the old empire felt that Ludwig The habits of the countryside were brought into the noble imperial court, and the new military nobles followed suit.

This young man is already handsome. He is holding a golden war hammer. The head of the war hammer is a curved triangular prism. It looks like a gryphon holding the hammer head with its talons, showing the force of spreading its wings and soaring. Coupled with his With an astonishing momentum and a calm face, Teresa had always imagined the heroic young hero of the British Kingdom.

It’s just that this person’s attitude was not very good: “Good morning, Teresa.”

After saying that, Ryan walked directly in the direction of the Justice Church.

The sorceress hurriedly took a few steps to catch up: "Last night you..."

"Sleeping in a doghouse, haha, I also formed a deep friendship with a big yellow dog... But this has nothing to do with you. After the affairs of the Justice Church are done, I will inform you before setting off." Ryan said lightly, owning With his extraordinary physique, he is not afraid of the cold, so his clothes are only about politeness and rules, rather than about keeping warm.

"..." There seemed to be a slight estrangement between the two people. For Theresa, it was the limit for her to take the initiative to speak. She would not ask any more questions anyway, so she kept silent all the way to the Church of Justice. .

White paint, tall building, the door of the Church of Justice is more than two meters high. On the door, the holy emblem of the God of Justice is engraved - a huge blue shield, a scale placed on a warhammer. It was shining, and there were two paladins wearing full plate armor and helmets at the door. They were holding swords and looking around warily. However, when one of the paladins saw Ryan, he was slightly startled: "Eh? This Isn’t it Mr. ‘Sledgehammer’ Lane? Is he here to collect the bounty again?”

"How can there be so much bounty to collect?" Ryan complained, saying that he was here to get something.

Upon seeing this, the two paladins opened the door of the church: "Mr. Lane is really an evil enemy and an old friend of our church. If you have anything to say, please come in."

Since he has been collecting bounties in the Church of Justice all year round, Ryan's appearance has been widely broadcast in the Church of Justice. In addition, paladins from various places are often mobile, so many paladins recognize him. The two paladins in front of him Although Ryan couldn't pronounce his name, he looked familiar.

"Since I am your old friend, have you prepared my Holy Communion?" Ryan joked casually, and the paladins also laughed: "It's not easy for Mr. Ryan to eat. Just tell us and we will." I'm going to prepare it, but I think Mr. Lane, our cook, might not like it."

"That's true." Ryan followed a paladin into the Church of Justice.

"You are so familiar with these people." Theresa followed Ryan into the Church of Justice. The paladin at the door noticed this beautiful and dangerous woman, hesitated for a moment, and did not stop her.

"Indeed, they are quite familiar, because they are my parents who provide me with food and clothing. With the salary I get every year, I can barely support myself at most. You see, I don't even have any followers, I am very poor." Ryan said with his hands Alas, the sorceress glanced at him sideways and said nothing. According to the known information, Ryan had indeed always walked alone.

There are actually very few knights like Ryan who travel alone. Generally, knights will be equipped with at least two knights when traveling, one is responsible for the logistics of horses, and the other is responsible for the logistics of weapons and equipment. For example, Ryan never uses the lance, because During the battle, the lance broke after charging to the peak, and it needed to be protected by the knight's retinue and to replace the weapon.

In fact, Teresa knows that many knights travel with more than two retinues. The knights always go out with more than ten people behind them, and some even bring their lovers to travel with them. The cost is high. Well, Ryan's statement that his salary is not enough is barely justified.

However, the bonus Ryan receives every year from the Church of Justice or the Kingdom's Minister of Finance is already several times his salary, so he cannot afford to hire a few followers.

Then he just doesn't want to, rather than having no financial means, Teresa thought.

The interior of the Church of Justice in Kalzenhaven is clean and full of simplicity. In the courtyard, some young paladins are practicing with their swords. In addition, there are also some people praying. They walk through the wide courtyard and come to the lobby. The God of Justice The statue of the god shines and exudes warmth in the cold air. The stone statue contains majesty and love, full of hatred for evil and justice for all things in the world. Despite this, the several-meter-high statue looks a little... It's sad. In the statue, the eyes of the God of Justice are missing. What's left in the eye sockets is deep darkness. One of his hands holds a scale, and the other hand holds the famous artifact, his beloved sword. --Judge.

Whenever he walks into this hall, Ryan will always have infinite admiration for the God of Justice. The God of Justice is not a native god of this world. Like the Fairy in the Lake, he is a foreign god. About one year ago, He only came to this world 1,800 years ago. Before that, seven Gods of Justice had already fallen. This God of Justice is already the eighth God of Justice.

The God of Justice is really a high-risk industry.

His eyes were gouged out by the Evil God of Chaos himself during the first Chaos Invasion, and his left hand was chopped by the Son of Chaos during the second Chaos Invasion. This god is always on the front line against evil. His disabilities and numerous wounds symbolize unwavering justice and sacrifice. Because of this, the teachings of the God of Justice are the most widely spread throughout the continent and have the largest number of pan-believers.

The pastor in charge of this church had something to do and hadn't returned yet, so the two of them sat down in the courtyard of the Justice Church on a stone table and chairs. A pastor brought two glasses of water and motioned for the two of them to drink. Ryan took them without hesitation. Theresa was a little hesitant after taking a sip. The sorceress was not used to drinking water.

This world is not safe at all. It is difficult for civilians to find clean water sources. Therefore, except for clergy and believers who drink water purified by the church, the vast majority of civilians consume water through rice porridge and soup. Through various low-quality fruit wines and ales, Teresa's family was wealthy. She usually drank various fruit drinks, soups and porridge at home, and occasionally drank some wine. She rarely drank pure water directly.

"Drink it, it's holy water." Seeing Teresa hesitate, Ryan said directly: "A small church in this place cannot be like the large church organization in Winter City. Archbishop Innocent saw through it at a glance We have the ability to be corrupted by Chaos, but the priests here don’t have it, so we can only gain their trust by drinking the holy water.”

The sorceress's beautiful silver eyes stared at Ryan for a while, and after making sure that he was not talking nonsense, she drank the holy water. A burning feeling ran through her throat, which was a bit uncomfortable, like something spicy.

Ryan frowned as he looked at Teresa's uncomfortable look. He suddenly grabbed the sorceress's arm wrapped in a long white lace glove without any explanation, and directly stretched out his hand to press on her wrist.

"What are you doing?!" Teresa shouted angrily, but Ryan's wrist strength was not comparable to that of the sorceress. Her wrist was pressed firmly on the stone table, revealing a beautiful little hand, slender. Her fingers were painted with purple nail polish, but Ryan didn't care about that at all. His big hands pressed firmly on the sorceress's wrist.

"Asshole, let go!" Teresa's physical strength was still at a low point. She struggled hard, her eyes filled with humiliation. Seeing this, Ryan realized that she had misunderstood, so he quickly said: "The reason why you feel uncomfortable when drinking holy water is You are corrupted by Chaos! I'm checking it for you!"

The sorceress stopped moving.

Light blue energy appeared from Ryan's palm and rushed directly into Theresa's wrist. When the black chaotic energy met Ryan's light blue energy, it was like a mouse meeting a cat. It didn't take long. It was completely wiped out.

Only then did Ryan let go of her wrist and sighed: "Teresa, you must be careful not to use up all the magic power again. A caster in this state is a delicious meal for the evil god. If you don’t want to end up in destruction like those crazy magicians, you must be careful.”

"... Got it." Teresa was not a person who couldn't figure out the situation. Her mother also taught her about the mad magician.

The vast majority of spellcasters need to use the magic network built by the goddess of magic to cast spells. In this case, only those who are saint casters who have experienced and come into contact with the origin of magic can cast spells without the help of the magic network. It is simply the lifeblood of a spellcaster. Without the magic net, the spellcaster's spellcasting ability will be greatly reduced. A six-ring legendary mage may have great difficulty even casting a four-ring magic.

Under this situation, the so-called "crazy magicians" appeared, that is, the so-called wild mages who refused to use the magic network to cast spells. These wild mages were more violent and wild. They were greatly affected by the elements, such as the mad magic of the air system. Magicians will generally go completely bald after a few years and their skin will turn gray. Fire magicians' hair and beards will turn fiery red and their tempers will turn irritated. Life magicians will not like to take baths and will be dirty and greasy all day long. Getting along with wild beasts and the like.

In fact, it doesn't matter. What's more important is that these mad magicians almost have the same destination, which is to fall, because the chaotic energy wandering among the elements between heaven and earth will also be sucked into their bodies. It won't take too long, These crazy magicians will advance very quickly because of the chaotic energy, and they will also fall quickly because of the chaotic energy.

To use an analogy from Ryan's perspective, if the human soul is the school cafeteria, then the caster's soul is the staff restaurant. Of course, the most valuable thing is the soul of the elf, which is the Michelin meal.

"Do you treat everyone like this?" Theresa picked up her lace gloves and put them on again, and said angrily. She had accepted Ryan's statement, but she still had some dissatisfaction.

"No, it's just because it's you." Before Ryan's words could make the sorceress feel complacent, she shattered her mood: "You are an important collaborator. I still need a spell caster to assist me now." When fighting against powerful monsters, with a spellcaster as your companion, many problems will be solved, right?"

"Oh? Haha, I think as long as you can entangle the opponent and ensure that I am not disturbed when singing, it is enough. I can deal with the enemy and so on. You don't need to rush up to fight with the enemy while dancing the hammer slowly and clumsily. Don't you think this is stupid? In every sense." Teresa slapped the Kingdom Knight's hand away and said with a look of contempt.

The sorceress quickly turned her attention to the light blue energy in the man's hand, and finally couldn't help but asked curiously: "Can you tell me something, Ryan?"

"you say."

"What is your... occupation?"

The profession of the protagonist is very special, hehehe, very special. Someone will naturally guess it later.
