The Sun King's Evidence

Chapter 8, Teresa Trowick



"Thank you, Theresa. I saw traces of the battle about an hour away from here. Are you... okay?" Ryan stood in front of the sorceress.

"It's much better than you think." The sorceress said while leaning on her staff. Her bright silver eyes looked at Ryan through black-rimmed glasses with butterfly patterns. She was obviously dissatisfied with Ryan's limelight.

Ryan completely understands this.

The sorceress is very strong, very strong. Logically speaking, she who has already stepped into the legendary level will not show this level of strength in this battle. As long as she is given enough time to prepare, let alone a beastman. Even if there are two or three warbands, she can eliminate them one by one.

The key issue is that the sorceress has already fought. On the way here, Ryan found traces of a large number of spells used, which proves that the Blood Ax mercenary group led by Theresa has fought at least one beastman before. The gang had fought against each other, and it was the Explosive Demon who fought, so that meant that Theresa was already in a state of empty mana before this battle started.

Moreover, in order to track the witcher during this period, Teresa used a lot of mana. The sorceress is not a hunter and can track prey through experience. What's more, the witcher is a hunter herself and has first-class anti-tracking capabilities. The sorceress can only use Using her own magic power to seize the clues left by the witcher, Theresa's magic power has never been fully restored and has been in a state of consumption for a long time.

In the empty state, he also forcibly released a sixth-level spell. Ryan knew that Theresa was probably very reluctant to stand now, and she might not be able to cast a spell for several days.

"Better than I imagined? Do you know what I imagined?" Ryan complained. He brought his horse over and hung the head of the beastman leader on his horse: "Okay, during this period, I will protect you. safety."

"This is what you were supposed to do. For an uncertain clue, you almost killed an entire mercenary group!" Teresa was still holding on to her staff, breathing heavily and bending slightly. The waist, the proud figure was fully exposed, and Ryan even saw a pair of full breasts trembling slightly.

"But I have found Belt's clue...forget it, it's useless to talk about it now." Ryan looked at the sorceress standing still, rolled his eyes, and immediately understood something, and took the initiative to reach out: " Come on, get on your horse, and I will lead the horse for you. Think about it, if Ryan, the 'Sledgehammer' of the Nord Kingdom, personally leads the horse for you, it won't be an insult to your status as a member of the Gloria Parliament, right?"

"...Find a place to rest first. The Blood Ax Mercenary Group can no longer fight. Boris is also injured. This time our Glory Council owes their Blood Ax Mercenary Group a huge debt. I I really doubt whether it’s worth it to spend so much time chasing Belt.” Teresa remained still, and Ryan knew that the last bit of strength in the sorceress had been exhausted, and now she was holding on not to fall for her own sake.

This is the talent of a warlock. When the magic power is exhausted, the warlock can forcibly overdraw his physical strength to replace the magic power.

The mercenaries were cleaning the battlefield. It was difficult to clean the bloody and snow-covered battlefield, but it had to be done. With heavy losses, the mercenaries hoped to recover some losses by cleaning the battlefield.

Ryan had no interest in cleaning the battlefield. Those rags of the beastmen were really worthless. Seeing Theresa still standing still, Ryan reluctantly pulled the horse closer and wanted to put the sorceress on the horse.

"What are you doing!" The hand of the Kingdom Knight reaching for Teresa's butt was opened by the sorceress with a staff. The sorceress's pale face was a little angry, but because of the use of the staff, the sorceress, who had already exhausted her physical strength, almost fell down. .

After all, she didn't fall directly into the snow. Ryan simply picked her up by the waist, and the two of them got on the horse together, and then patted the sorceress on the shoulder: "You must be happy if I do this, right?"

After saying that, Ryan jumped off the horse again. He was now fully clothed in equipment, and the horse could not support the weight of two people.

"You bastard." The sorceress realized that she was thinking too much. Thinking about it, Ryan was not the kind of person to take advantage of others' danger, so she quietly rode on her horse while the mercenary group cleaned up the battlefield and simply removed the corpses of her companions. Burned with fire and then buried hastily, many mercenaries looked sad. The imperial merchant took his two guards to find his lost carriage, and the group was ready to set off again.

The mercenary group suffered heavy casualties and remained silent. Oliver and the others were thankful to have escaped death and recovered the goods, but seeing that the atmosphere was not good, they all remained silent.

The team was marching through the forest, and the moon was already high in the sky.

"There is no enemy that my blizzard can't freeze. If I hadn't blocked the action of the beastman leader, you wouldn't be the opponent of so many beastmen. If you freeze it, naturally anyone can go up and kill it. Hmm, reinforcements. He always arrives after the battle is over." The sorceress suddenly said to Ryan walking in front while sitting on her horse.

With her beautiful face, shimmering black hair, refreshing night leather coat and noble white fox fur coat, the sorceress looks like a goddess under the moon.

"If I hadn't arrived in time, are you sure you could have killed the beastman leader? Oh, maybe you could set off another blizzard, and everyone would be able to kill all the beastmen after they calmed down, don't you think?" Ryan felt There was a moment of speechlessness. Everyone knows how powerful the beastman leader is. Even though he was injured and frozen and couldn't move his legs, Ryan still used all his strength to kill it. The kingdom knight can be sure that the beastman leader's hands will still be strong. As long as they can move, these mercenaries still go up to deliver food.

Well, maybe the mercenary leader named Boris had a chance, but the fact was that Boris had already suffered a serious injury at that time, Ryan thought.

Some people couldn't stand seeing the sorceress bickering with the knights of the kingdom.

It was the young mercenary named Banda. He took the initiative to trot forward and help Teresa lead the horse. Then he whispered to the sorceress: "Ms. Trovik, you are right. You blocked the action." Under such circumstances, that beast can't escape death in the face of anyone. What does that knight have to brag about? If it were me at that time, I would definitely be able to take off its head."

After saying that, Banda smiled flatteringly at the sorceress.

"Haha." Unexpectedly, Teresa just sneered, glanced down at him, then looked at the two-handed sword behind his back, and then looked away disdainfully, not even bothering to say an answer.

The hot face touches the cold butt, and the atmosphere is quite awkward.

Ryan secretly felt funny when he saw this situation.

Theresa Trovik, from the Gloria Council, is the daughter of Aurora Trovik, the elder of the Gloria Council.

The Glory Council is also known as the Council of Female Spellcasters. This organization is famous throughout the continent.

One hundred and fifty years ago, the savior Ludwig led the army of Order to defeat the army of Chaos and chased it all the way to the northernmost Chaos Wasteland before withdrawing because supplies could not keep up. The female spellcasters were also among the coalition forces of Order at that time. played an extremely important role.

After the end of the second Chaos invasion, eighteen female spellcasters whose strength was at or above the legendary level held a meeting in Skydome Castle to discuss various injustices against women in the realm of spellcasters. The meeting was held. After a few days, these female mages reached a consensus. They jointly established a so-called Parliament of Female Spellcasters. The Parliament only accepted female spellcasters to join. The purpose of the Parliament was to advocate that male and female mages should be treated equally and to concentrate the power of female spellcasters. Seeking to counter the dominance of male spellcasters on the continent by speaking with one voice.

The Gloriosa flower is like a burning flame, gorgeous and elegant, representing the strength and independence of women. Therefore, the Council of Female Spellcasters named the Gloriosa Council and was partially recognized by Emperor Ludwig. It became a formal organization, Sky Castle. Therefore, it has become a holy place for female spell casters.

Theresa is a sorceress from the Gloria Council. She grew up in that environment and was deeply influenced by it, so her ideas can be imagined.

It’s not that the female spell casters of the Gloria Council look down on men. In fact, they have never said something like “men are trash.” The female spell casters who join the Gloria Council do not prohibit marriage.

They look down on "useless men".

Unfortunately, this mercenary named Banda was a "useless man" in Teresa's eyes.

Judging from the aura, Banda is just an ordinary-level warrior. Since he has never seen him take action, Ryan thought that if he died, he would be just an ordinary high-level warrior. Even an elite-level warrior like Boris had advanced to berserker. The sorceress actually didn't take him seriously, let alone a mere ordinary-level warrior.

Want to step on me to win Teresa's favor? You may have chosen the wrong person~ Ryan shook his head. He did not want to be serious with Banda. Teresa was in a high state of fatigue. The knight of the kingdom chatted with Oliver: "Mr. Oliver? We meet again."

"Ah! Yes, yes! We meet again, Mr. Lane, thank you very much this time!" Oliver said quickly with a look of relief.

"We are lucky this time. The power of the beastmen is not great in Nord. We only encountered miscellaneous fish such as chaos warhounds, razor beasts, and horned beasts. Only the horned beasts are relatively obscene. Even the beast king They are all just evolved from ordinary horned beasts. In addition to these truly powerful beastman tribes, there are also taller and stronger war horned beasts, trolls, cyclops, and even giant-horned tauren and chaos giants. We really want to meet them. With this kind of beastman tribe, I can only turn around and run away." Ryan laughed, but the words coming out of his mouth were frightening.

"Is there anything to be afraid of? Mr. Lane knows about the Battle of Blood Pine Forest, right? After our emperor's new emperor, His Majesty Franz-Frederich ascended the throne, he led an army of 100,000 into the Blood Pine Forest and wiped out more than thirty It is said that the bones of the 50,000 beastmen of this battle group have piled up into mountains. If there really is such a tribe of beastmen, our great emperor will definitely roast them all again!" Oliver said proudly.

"Same." Ryan said no more.

The empire located to the south of the Nord Kingdom is the most powerful human country on the continent. The Nord Kingdom was originally part of the empire and is now a vassal state of the empire. The main reason is that the empire is tired of guarding against the endless harassment from the northern barbarians. and invasion, so Ludwig the Savior appointed his lieutenant Harald Frank as the Grand Duke of Nordland and became independent from the Empire.

Ryan and Oliver chatted for a while. After about two hours, Ryan estimated that it was almost seven o'clock in the evening.

At this point in time, it’s almost time to set up camp and rest. The mercenary leader Boris’s injury has not healed, so the deputy leader Wilt is temporarily in charge of the command. Wilt is also a veteran mercenary with elite level strength. The warrior advanced to become a great swordsman, wielding a two-handed sword. Banda seemed to be his apprentice.

The team found a place to camp next to a stone mountain and close to a water source. Since the beastman leader was dead, the beastman tribe in the forest must have been in civil strife and had no time to care, and everyone was not too worried about enemies.

Everyone was busy setting up tents and setting up fires. The heavy snow that had fallen for two days and two nights finally stopped. The weather was still very gloomy. The mercenaries took out pots and pans, boiled water, and then took out dry food to soak. Hot water is edible. Originally, we should at least collect some wild vegetables or other things to make soup in the wild. However, in the middle of winter, there are very few of these things in the wild, so everyone can only make do with it and wait until they arrive in town tomorrow.

"Ms. Trovik, let me help you dismount!" Banda saw Teresa sitting on the horse and not getting off the horse. The young mercenary immediately stepped forward and said respectfully.

Who knew that he was still given a cold face? The sorceress's hand was still holding the horse's reins, and she didn't even look at him. Instead, she actively said to Ryan, who was checking the terrain in the distance: "Lian? Please make arrangements!" "

"Okay, okay, I know!" After hearing this, Ryan approached and took the initiative to lift Teresa off the horse. After confirming that the sorceress's high-heeled leather boots were on the ground, he let her go: "You want me to help you Can you find a more comfortable place?"

"Isn't this what you should do?" Although Theresa looked very pale and even had to walk with the help of a staff, the woman still refused to admit defeat.

"Haha, are you using the staff as a crutch? Well, one staff can be used for multiple purposes." Ryan complained directly when he saw this.

"Oh? Doesn't your warhammer also serve as a fire stick in your hand?" Who knew the sorceress would retort, and Ryan laughed after hearing this: "Hahahahahaha!"

Just now, in order to light a fire, he put a warhammer with a fire attribute into the pyre to start a fire. It seemed that Teresa saw it.

The way the kingdom knight and the sorceress made peace made Banda secretly grit his teeth. The damn knight knew how to please Ms. Trovik, and Ms. Trovik seemed to trust him more. She had to find a way to get him out. Otherwise, it would be difficult for him to have a chance to impress Ms. Trovik.

"Master Wilt, can you do me a favor?" Banda secretly walked to his master, deputy commander Wilt. Wilt looked to be about the same age as Boris, and his appearance was not as rough as the mercenary leader. He was arranging the camp location and arranging for everyone to boil water for meals. When he heard his apprentice's request, he smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Banda, please clarify your own situation. Ms. Trovik is a member of the Garland Council. Do you really understand the status gap between you?"
