They said it would take a while, but in fact Ryan and others waited outside for quite a long time.
After Veronica and Morgiana came over after discussing how to distribute their relationships, and after Ryan had played rolling with the panda outside for a while, the Emperor and little Devin Hill came out.
It was a rare opportunity to see the emperor. Except for Surya and Olika, who looked at ease, the women present all dressed up very seriously, hoping to show their best side to Ryan's real father.
But the emperor obviously didn't care about this very much. The Lord of Humanity appeared with little Devon Hill. Apart from a slight nod to Sulia and a glance at Orica, he didn't say a word and didn't change his expression at all. It seemed that
The grandfather who brought his little grandson just now disappeared.
Veronica was very excited. There were very few opportunities for the Chancellor to see the Emperor. She quickly put on the long slit wood elf satin dress that she was most reluctant to wear and the relatively more solemn one. She always wore her favorite
The big wavy hair is tied up on the back of the head.
The Emperor did not completely ignore Veronica. The Lord of Mankind did not look at her, but he glanced at the ring with the salamander mark on her hand and did not know what he was thinking.
The fairy in the lake looked aggrieved. Seeing this state, the goddess specially changed herself into an Ulthuan light yellow tube top and soft fantasy princess dress. Not only did she dress up and put on makeup, but she also took the initiative to salute with the low posture of a daughter-in-law.
The result!
As a result, when arranging seats, she was ranked behind Sulia and Orika, but in the end, she was even worse than Veronica! At the signal of the Forbidden Army, she was forced to sit behind Veronica!
The goddess bit her handkerchief with tears in her eyes, feeling extremely wronged.
Don't be such a bully!
But without giving her a chance to redress her grievances, the Emperor had already spoken: "You did a good job in the two things this time, going to Ulthuan to steal the Fire of the Phoenix Mantra and resisting the invasion of Chaos. Ryan, I am impressed by your performance.
See it in your eyes."
"Yes." Ryan responded in a low voice, and he said humbly to the emperor: "The soldiers used their lives, dispatched well, and at the same time all strategies and tactics were used, so that we could achieve such results in the end."
"I just said it was pretty good, not a good job." Unexpectedly, the emperor said coldly: "Compared to Jonson and Guilliman, you always have hesitation and inattention, and you always think
You must not make mistakes. For this reason, you have missed many better opportunities. At the same time, there is another problem. You knew that Russ threatened you with the Spear of Dionysus, but you still agreed to support. As the commander of an army, you should not act on impulse. This
I hope you should learn more from Zhuang Sen."
Father, you should educate Guilliman and Russ first, Ryan complained in his heart, but the original Gray Knight could only bow his head and accept it. Facing the Emperor, he had no power to refute, and this matter was indeed not handled well.
good.
Little Devonshire stood next to the emperor, and the Lord of Mankind's big hand even pressed his shoulder. Seeing that his father was being scolded by his grandfather, little Devonshire could not hold his head up. Little Devonshire inherited the sea blue from his parents.
Her big eyes were shining brightly, and she was watching this scene with watery eyes, feeling extremely interesting.
"Also, what you and Fulgen did when you sneaked into the Phoenix Flame Pyramid was too stupid. I know that you had no choice but to do it, but in fact, if Asurayan and I hadn't negotiated, it would have been almost impossible for you to obtain the scroll."
The emperor continued to say coldly: "It won't be so easy next time. You need to find your own way. In fact, you already have a broad road, but you just didn't find it."
After saying that, the Lord of Humanity turned his attention to the goddess sitting quite far away.
"Uuuuuuu~" The fairy in the lake felt even more aggrieved. She could only whisper: "Asuyan has never said a word since he ordered the gods not to interfere in mortal affairs. I have also thought of many ways.
But it's not ideal. If you want to break into the Flame Pyramid, you have to risk your life, even for Ryan and Fulgrim. How did I know that you would suddenly decide to steal something from the Flame Pyramid? This would have taken hundreds of years of careful planning."
"Yes, so from the beginning, there was a problem with Ryan's choice." The emperor's tone was still cold, and the Lord of Humanity stared at the fairy in the lake: "Since he has chosen to fully lean on you, then he can no longer do it.
Establish a strong relationship with Asuryan, Kunos, Kane and other elven gods. These three gods are the key to stopping the civil war among the three elves. Now, even I can't do anything about it. Soon, the elves
It's going to be a total civil war and all your efforts are so ridiculous."
"Ryan's choice cannot be miscalculated, father." Before Ryan could speak, Sulia took the initiative to come out to fight with the emperor. The knight queen stood up directly. She wanted to salute at first, but the emperor shook his head and said no. The female knight said seriously:
"It's a paradox. If Ryan didn't choose a lady, then he would
No matter how strong you are, you will never be able to achieve your current goals and have the status of the leader of a country. If you can be invited to visit Ulthuan and have enough contact with the wood elves and even the dark elves, my foster father, what do you think?
Everything he said is only based on Ryan's existing foundation, which is a paradox in itself."
"There are always people who will take the initiative to defend the value of talent, belief and cognition instead of empirical truth. How do you know that if Ryan had not chosen this alien god, he would not have become the master of a country?" The emperor said lightly.
: "No matter who they are, they cannot deny that everyone has their own cognitive flaws and limitations. In fact, there are several possibilities for Ryan's future, all of which are in my plan."
"But I firmly believe that nothing is better than the current situation." Sulia was still determined. She stood up and faced the Lord of Humanity: "No matter what choice you make, it will not be better than now. Lord foster father,
Ryan has bypassed countless obstacles and taken countless shortcuts to obtain the highest power in Britannia. More importantly, Madam has always provided the most complete and powerful support! This is something that cannot be achieved by any route!
In other words, it cannot be done in a short time, Lord foster father, you must understand."
The atmosphere suddenly froze. In the courtyard of the cabin in the forest, Sulia, the daughter-in-law, suddenly publicly contradicted the Lord of Humanity!
"Are you going to fight me in the ring?" There was no emotion or anger in the emperor's voice: "Don't you know how many people want to be my daughter-in-law?"
"Sulia!" Ryan came out quickly. He first subconsciously protected his wife behind him, and then immediately knelt down on one knee: "This is my choice, father. I will bear the consequences. Sulia was just a little excited and said
He said some inappropriate words."
After saying that, Ryan took Lidya Su and planned to kneel down together.
"Shut up! Who said that Sulia said something inappropriate?" Who knew that the emperor's voice became even colder, and the Lord of Humanity said: "I'm talking to my daughter-in-law, why are you interrupting? Go down.
, sit down!”
Angron couldn't help covering his mouth and laughing.
"Uh..." Ryan was extremely embarrassed by the emperor's words. The original body could only respond in a low voice, gave Sulia a wink, and sat back in his seat.
Ryan secretly looked at everyone's reactions.
Angron and little Devonshire couldn't stop laughing when they saw Ryan.
The Imperial Guards kept their expressions unchanged and were alert to their surroundings.
Orica said nothing, her amber eyes watched all this with great interest, the dark elf was obviously thinking about something again.
The fairy in the lake really didn't expect that Sulia would come out to speak for her. The goddess was touched and worried at the same time. She wanted to stand up but was stopped by the emperor's eyes.
Sylvia's face was full of anxiety. She knew that her status was low and she was not qualified to speak, so she could only hold the hem of her skirt tightly.
What surprised Ryan the most was that Veronica was very cautious on this matter. The female speaker lowered her head and deliberately marginalized herself, obviously not wanting to get involved.
There is no fuel-efficient lamp in the backyard!
"I'm just telling my foster father a fact." Sulia's beautiful figure stood in front of everyone. The female knight obviously didn't intend to give in: "My foster father sometimes has too harsh requirements on Ryan. I know Amy
Leah might be an alternative
plan, but even if Ryan marries Emilia and becomes an elector, what will happen? Can he get the full support of the Lady Church? Can he reform while being restrained by the city council and the military?
Can he launch the Great Crusade so smoothly?"
"I am not denying Lion's ability in several great expeditions." The Emperor said: "I am pointing out that there are some things he did not do well enough, and some choices he made too hastily. Even this is not okay?"
"Fair enough, this is what I want to fight for Ryan." Sulia said seriously. The female knight could feel the terrible pressure coming from the emperor, the kind of pressure that would only make mortals feel humble and awe.
However, people's physiques cannot be generalized. Sulia will face the difficulties today! Because she feels that the emperor's choice of Ryan and his evaluation of the fairy in the lake are unfair!
"Unfortunately, Nur has the most complete industry and the most advanced science and technology in the human world." The emperor said: "But in Britannia everything has to start again. How is the level of industrialization in Mousilon? Everyone knows
clear."
"Sir foster father, please don't change the subject!" Sulia looked directly into the emperor's black eyes, and the female knight said directly: "I just want to say that Ryan faced many choices when he was growing up, and he has already made them
This is the relatively best choice, including the lady, who has tried her best to help him in this process. You can’t deny everyone’s efforts with just one sentence!”
"So you want to get recognition and praise from me for your lady?" The emperor was still cold.
"That's not what I meant." Sulia was slightly shaken by the emperor's rhetorical question, but she still gritted her teeth and said, "I just think that the foster father should not deny all our efforts over the past twenty years."
"What efforts have you made?" the emperor said disdainfully: "You are just an inconspicuous one among the countless human women I have seen. The goddess you believe in, the chivalry you believe in, why are you
Your love for Ryan is nothing but an illusion. What else have you done besides giving birth to a child for Ryan? Those mediocre administrators? Or are they self-satisfied intermediaries? Most of your power comes from me, and part of it comes from me.
From your lady, how much of it is truly yours?”
"..." Sulia opened her mouth. The female knight found that she could not answer this question. Two lines of tears had already flowed down. She had never felt so uncomfortable, but she still shook her head stubbornly.
"Devenhill?" The emperor turned his eyes to his little grandson. The figure of the Lord of Humanity was cold and emotionless: "Do you think your mother is right?"
The little guy thought for a while and said crisply: "Yes!"
"Oh? Why do you think your mother did the right thing?" The emperor showed a surprised expression this time.
"Because every victory is great, every victory is priceless." Little Devon Hill said seriously: "Grandpa, you can't equate your victory with the victory of your father and mother.
This is inherently unfair to them, and my father’s choice was not wrong! Any big victory is accumulated through small wins.”
"Then do you know how many such victories I have won in my life?" The emperor nodded slightly, and a smile finally appeared on the face of the Lord of Humanity.
"Countless!" Little Devin Hill said seriously: "During the Great Crusade, grandpa won thousands of victories, saved countless worlds, and saved mankind from a race that was already on the verge of extinction!"
"But I am the emperor now, and I am the lord of mankind. I no longer need such praise and recognition. All of this is pale and insignificant to me. Even so, do I still have to praise it?" the emperor said meaningfully.
.
"That's because grandpa did not forget his original intention and kept his mission in mind. Otherwise, grandpa would not have been able to stand up in that chaotic and dark era, unify Terra, create the Primarch, restore the glory of mankind in the Great Crusade, and kill Ullanor.
Emperor Pi." Little Devon Hill's eyes were filled with little stars: "Grandpa, he is our number one warrior!"
"The first warrior? Hahahahaha~" The emperor laughed: "My grandson is really interesting, hahahaha. I made Malcador the regent of the empire, I made Horus the warmaster, and I made Waldo the custodian.
Marshal, I gave the major legions to the commanders of the original bodies, but now, my grandson actually tells me that I am the first warrior of mankind? Hahahaha!"
Ryan breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this, and the atmosphere in the venue finally calmed down. The emperor gently stroked the head of little Devon Hill, pointed at Sulia and said: "Then, you also think that your
Does that mother Lilith need my approval?"
"Not everyone is Uncle Jonson!" Little Devin Hill shook his head: "Mortals need praise, because everyone needs self-identity, only the weird guy Uncle Jonson doesn't need it, but Grandpa, Uncle Jonson is so weird, he is a weirdo
uncle!"
"Hahahaha~" The emperor laughed for a while and finally nodded: "I wanted to teach Ryan and Sulia something, but it turned out that it was you who said these words. Sit down, Sulia, my daughter-in-law
,listen to me."
"Yes." Lidya Su had to sit down.
"I actually want to tell Ryan through this matter that you have to make a choice many times." The emperor thought for a long time and then slowly said: "For example, if you choose Sulia, you are destined to be with the empire.
I have no chance with Emilia and Noor, and I am destined to have no chance with other noble ladies in Britannia."
"For another example, among the high elves, you choose the alien god and the supreme mage Teclis, then whether it is Tyrion, Imric or Fenubar, you can try to maintain goodwill with them.
But he is destined not to be a figure in the same camp."
"Similarly, if you choose Orica, you are destined to be unable to be in the same camp as the Witch King, Witch Queen and those witches and executioners."
"In the same way, if you are always a count, then your female courtiers Ms. Veronica and Ms. Teresa will definitely have a falling out one day, and you will have to make a choice between them then." Emperor Dynasty
Looking at Ryan, he said: "Even now, do you know why there are still constant conflicts between them?"
"It's resources, father, resources are limited." Ryan could only say helplessly: "A person's energy and time are always limited, and one must stand on a stand."
"If you want to do something, you must offend people, and you must have enemies." The emperor said: "Always want to be smooth on all sides, always want to be good to you, me, and everyone, and always hope that everyone will get things done happily. Such people
You can never accomplish anything by yourself. In Gutera, I usually call this kind of person - jester!"
"Sulia!" The emperor then said to Sulia: "It's good that you will come out and argue with me."
"Sir foster father..." Sulia wiped her tears with a handkerchief. She just shook her head: "I didn't mean that."
"In fact, Asuryan is the key to salvation. Only he, as a god, has the ability to confront Chaos head-on." The emperor ignored Sulia's words and continued: "But since you have chosen Lilith
, then you can’t waver anymore, because this is your choice. Now that you have made your choice, then go ahead firmly! You have to learn more from Lidya Su and Ryan. It is your fault to be afraid of making mistakes and acting on impulse.
Something wrong."
"Understood!" Ryan lowered his head.
"Return the Sunfire Talisman to you." The Emperor took out the Sunfire Talisman of the Lake Fairy from his arms and threw it to Lilith. The Lake Fairy quickly took it and the Lord of Humanity nodded: "This time
You may have made some contribution to Sanguinius."
"Immediately, I will take Sanguinius' soul to Baal, where the swarm is fighting the Blood Angels."
"But before that, Sanguinius said that he had something to give to his sister-in-law, Surya."
