"My lady, let's see. The Spire Palace is an octagonal castle. The ruler of this place is Count Orcarson, a human noble and not a vampire. Thus, Count Orcarson doesn't like to stay in his castle for long periods of time like many other undead lords." Laing carefully organized the information he had and continued, "As a subordinate of the undead, Count Orcarson is under Mu Xilong's rule. However, he treats the people nearby quite well. Because the swamps here are very fertile, Count Orcarson often patrols the villages near the Spire Palace and hunts." Laing pointed at the Spire Palace, "Thus, I plan to seize the opportunity and wipe out Count Orcarson and his main forces when he leaves the Spire Palace."
"What if Count Orcarson isn't willing to fight you head on?" The Lake Fairy placed the golden Holy Grail on the table and focused on looking at the map, "As long as he sees you appear, Count Orcarson will definitely lead his army to retreat to the Spire Palace and seek reinforcements from Mu Xilong."
"Don't forget, Laing, my champion. Mu Xilong's poisonous snakes dug up the graves of the former Duke of Attawa's family. His forces are definitely not inferior to yours." The Lake Fairy seriously analyzed the situation of the battle, "If your army moves on a large scale and crosses the river, then Count Orcarson will definitely defend the Spire Palace and ask for reinforcements. If your forces are too few, then Orcarson will indeed lower his guard. However, if you can't take down the Spire Palace in a short period of time, then reinforcements will come. This way, the army on the other side of the river will be in danger."
"That's right." Laing nodded, "That's why we need Lady Aurora and Morgiana's help …"
(Whispering)
After hearing Laing's plan, the Lake Fairy didn't say anything else, "I'm not a god with a war-related divine domain. My champion, it's good that you've made sufficient preparations."
"My lady, the main problem isn't taking down the Spire Palace. Even if it's a battle in the wild, I'm confident that I can defeat Matthew Bad and his undead army." Laing wasn't concerned about this, "The main problem is, how do we deal with Mu Xilong's corruption? This rotten land is filled with swamps and corruption. "
"Mu Xilong wasn't like that." The nymphs in the lake sighed, and the beautiful goddess picked up the Holy Grail again. "That duchy turned out to be the most beautiful and powerful duchy in Brittania. The original Knight of the Holy Grail, Landurin, was even more powerful than the first Knight King, Arthur. Landurin's nature was a combination of gentleness, generosity, and politeness. Because of this, his heart was even more fragile."
"People who value relationships are indeed like this." Leon had no choice but to stop talking and listen to the fairy in the lake explain the cause of all this.
. "" Randuin suffered three major setbacks in his life. The first was during the twelve battles of the founding of the duchy. When he returned to Mu Xilong, he found that his hometown had been destroyed by the necromancers. The second was when Arthur was fighting the remnants of the Green Dwarfs near Azeroth. Arthur also died of illness after the battle. The third was after Arthur's death. Due to a territorial dispute, Randuin and the first Duke of Lyonasser, Schiluff, had a duel. "
"After defeating Schiluff and leaving an ugly scar on the face of his former partner of the Holy Grail, Landulin was completely overwhelmed by grief. He was immersed in grief day and night, and the land of Muxilon responded to his grief, gradually becoming corrupted and depraved. This was the source of all the depravity of Muxilon. This disaster is known as the 'Great Depression'."
"Then, 'Mad Duke' Merovin became a vampire and killed the king. Then, there was the Tower of Dore incident. The Duke of Mu Xilong, who was also known as the Duke of Connaught, imprisoned the Witch of the Lake. He claimed to have married me and asked to become the king. If it wasn't for Tayloff rescuing the Witch of the Lake, Madred would have succeeded."
"After these three incidents, Mu Xilong became what he is today." The Lady of the Lake said to Laing, "So, the source of all the problems is still Randuin. His grief is the source of Mu Xilong's corruption. We must find his tomb and let his grief find peace."
"I heard that the souls of all the Holy Grail Knights will return to your divine kingdom," Laing said, puzzled.
"Randuin's soul has returned to my divine kingdom, but his grief has not. You must find his tomb, and then I will use you as a transfer point of divine power to awaken Randuin's heroic spirit." The Lady of the Lake nodded. "Only in this way can we solve the problem of Mu Xilong's corruption from the root."
"Then why didn't you …" Laing understood as soon as the words came out of his mouth. "Ah, I understand. You don't have me as a transfer point of divine power. The environment of Mu Xilong's corruption will greatly weaken your divine power and perception range."
The Lady of the Lake's green eyes were filled with gentleness and joy. She reached out and touched Laing's face. "So, you are the best gift from the subspace to me, my champion."
Laing thought to himself, I seem to have heard this from someone before.
"It's good to be able to solve the problem of Mu Xilong's corruption." Laing said casually. "I thought that after I took down Mu Xilong, I would have to sit in the castle at the mouth of the river and use my power to suppress the corruption of the land. I wouldn't be able to take a step away from it!"
“？” The Lady of the Lake was puzzled after hearing Laing's words. The Lady of the Lake asked curiously, "Golden toilet? There are gods who use their power to suppress some terrible existence or purify the land. But why is it a golden toilet? Do you need to use gold as a medium for your power? "
Gold was a precious metal to humans, but to the elves and magic toads who were good at using magic wind, it was a high-quality container that could conduct magic. Therefore, the Fairy in the Lake didn't think that Leon's golden toilet bowl was nonsense.
"No, I'm just saying." Laing shook his head and shrugged. "Just take it as a joke."
"It's almost time. It's already two o 'clock in the morning. You should go back." After hearing Laing's strange joke, the Lady of the Lake suddenly realized that they had been talking for a long time. "Suria is still waiting for you."
"Don't you want to go back with me?" Laing took the Lady of the Lake's hand. "My lady, you have spent a lot of divine power to help me recently, right? We can celebrate the Winter Veil together. "
"Is this an invitation? Or just saying? Or is it your conspiracy? " The Lady of the Lake was obviously moved. The Lady of the Lake deliberately stood there and did not say anything. She held the Holy Grail in her hand and waited to see what Laing was going to say next.
"Of course, this is a formal invitation." Laing knew that the Lady of the Lake was doing it on purpose. He was a little amused. Then he knelt on one knee and issued a formal invitation to the Lady of the Lake. "May I have the honor of inviting you?"
Laing knew that this was what the Lady of the Lake wanted.
Women …
Before Laing knelt down, the Lady of the Lake immediately pulled him. She smiled like a flower. "Okay, I accept."
Walking out from the bottom of the lake, the Lily Island was silent at midnight. The Lady of the Lake and Laing walked out side by side from the center of the lake. The Lady of the Lake was obviously very satisfied with Laing's attitude. She liked the way Laing knelt in front of her the most.
"Do you really plan to let the witch and sorceress make the golem?" The Lady of the Lake continued the previous topic. "The high elves have tried to make the golem, but the engineering and energy supply have always been a problem."
"The engineering of the Empire has already helped us solve the problem of the golem engineering. The fire golem of the Blaze Academy once blew up the head of a green-skinned warlord with one punch." Laing did not have much hope in the golem production. "As for the golem production technology, it can only be used for defense. It is not possible for them to attack. It is impossible for Veronica to control the golem to reach Mu Xilon. She will probably run out of mana before she can reach Chalon Forest."
"Since the golem is not helpful in attacking Mu Xilon, you still let the two court ladies do it?" The Lady of the Lake began to interfere in Laing's affairs out of habit. "And that magic crystal cannon too."
"That is for the long term." Laing shook his head and put his hands behind his back. "It will come in handy one day."
"As long as you have a plan." The Lady of the Lake also gave up on arguing with Laing on trivial matters. It was meaningless.
Laing rode on the pure-blooded elven warhorse while the Lady of the Lake summoned a pure-blooded unicorn. They were ready to leave Chalon Forest and return to Laing's territory.
The Lady of the Lake was going to spend the Winter Veil with Laing and Suria. It had become a custom for the three of them to celebrate the festival together.
"My lady …" Laing hesitated for a moment before saying, "I plan to issue some orders, such as prohibiting the taking of —"
"You want to use the tithes?!" As Laing expected, the Lady of the Lake's tone changed immediately. The Lady of the Lake glared at Laing. "You better think carefully. My champion, who is your biggest supporter?"
"No, no, I will not use the tithes." Laing quickly added. He pulled the reins and said, "I just hope that you can issue an oracle to prohibit the prophets of the Lake and the Lady of the Lake from asking for payment and other things from the serfs."
"I see." The Lady of the Lake's face finally calmed down.
Thinking about it carefully, with Laing's intelligence, he would never touch the tithes. Currently, the most powerful force supporting Laing was the church of the Lady of the Lake. How could he use his own foundation? If Laing really dared to break this iron law of the mortal world, someone would immediately stand up and tell him loudly.
Lady's Chosen of God champion, are you trying to rebel?
Moreover, the tithes collected by the Lady of the Lake were mainly used to pay for the expenses of the prophets of the Lake and the Knights of the Holy Grail. The importance of the Knights of the Holy Grail to this country was self-evident. No matter where the country was, it was normal for the church to collect tithes.
Laing's father's Empire also collected tithes.
What Laing said was about the recent behavior of the prophets of the Lake and the Lady of the Lake.
Since Laing's territory became rich, many prophets of the Lake and the Lady of the Lake liked to visit everywhere. Every time they went to a place, they would ask the local nobles and serfs to provide enough food for them to enjoy, and they would also collect some money.
Laing even heard that a small number of prophets of the Lake had a rather messy private life. They often stayed in the homes of free people, asking these free people to bring out their underage boys to serve them, saying that they wanted to "baptize" them … The next day, after eating and drinking to their fill, with the money given by the free people, the prophets of the Lake would leave with a satisfied face and then continue to knock on the door of the next house.
This wasn't just a rumor. Ryan had sent people to investigate, and it was true. Many boys had been "baptized", and when they were questioned, they often showed a shy expression with their faces flushed red.
The prophets of the Lake and the Lady of the Lake enjoyed a special status in Brittany. These female spellcasters were not restricted by the laws of the Knight King Kingdom. Laing had to personally discuss this matter with the Lady of the Lake.
"I see." After listening to Laing's description, the Lady of the Lake's expression became a lot better. "I will inform Morgiana and let her issue my oracle to stop the problem of asking for offerings. I will also encourage the prophets of the Lake to try their best to find a permanent partner. But I hope you can understand that it is not convenient for me to manage their private lives. Gods belong to gods, and mortals belong to mortals. Some prophets of the Lake like to change their bed partners, that is their freedom, I will not interfere."
"That's enough." Laing smiled. "It's good that you can understand, my lady."
"This is not important." The Lady of the Lake gently waved her hand. "You can tell me if you have something to say."
The Lady of the Lake rode her unicorn closer, and she gently kissed Laing's face. "I like it when you are honest with me."
… I Love Eating Virgin Chicken's section dividing line ….
The arrival of the Winter Veil brought not only festive festivities, but also two pieces of news that made Laing ecstatic.
The first was that another group of dwarves from the Angran clan had moved to the Blackstone Stronghold and Mount Occa. Now, Belegar and his clan had finally regained some of their former glory. Now, there were more than 15,000 dwarves living in Brittany. They brought with them advanced manufacturing, metallurgy, and mining technology, which greatly promoted the development of productivity.
Belegar worked hard to restore production and was preparing to stockpile materials for the expedition to Mount Occa. The dwarves were producing guns, cannons, and other heavy weapons at full capacity. Laing predicted that when they attacked Muxilon in spring, the number of cannons would be enough to make the vampires who lacked long-range weapons suffer.
The second piece of good news made the whole of Count Glamorgan excited.
Laing's wife, Marchioness Winford and Countess Suria of Glamorgan, was pregnant.
The news of the female knight's pregnancy spread like wildfire throughout the Knight King's kingdom. The dukes were either happy, surprised, or frowning. But there was no doubt that they sent people to congratulate and send gifts. Laing happily announced that all serfs in the territory could receive a delicious baked fruit pie and a glass of wine. All registered knights could come to Laing's winery to attend the banquet.
François was also overjoyed when he heard the news. His father-in-law personally brought all the champion knights of the Champion Knights Brotherhood to Laing to see his pregnant daughter.
During the banquet, the Lady of the Lake descended in her true form. The Lady of the Lake happily announced that Laing and Suria's child would receive her blessing. The child would never be affected by disease.
The Lady of the Lake also announced that she had thought of a name for the child. The child in the belly of the female knight would be named Devenhill, and its name would be Devenhill Macado.
Laing was stunned.
