Can't I develop my own character?

"I'm going to the prairie." Ryan did not hide it. This time he wanted to solve the problem of the Western Barbarians as soon as possible. The Grand Duke had to lead the front-line battlefield, and the Grand Duke's target was too obvious. Even if someone had never seen him, as long as they saw the Grand Duke's height... well, it would be too easy to be exposed.

As for Ryan himself, he was not worried. The Western Barbarians were blocked from receiving news and were always busy fighting, so it was unlikely that they would know about his situation.

But just in case, if Hainuo can go with us, then there will be no risk.

"To solve the problem of Ximan." Hai Nuo smiled faintly, "Just to be your bodyguard, right? That's no problem."

Ryan was delighted: "Then it's settled... Come on, Ms. Heino, cheers."

Hey~

The crisp clinking of wine glasses was heard, and Casradi's slightly surprised expression was reflected in the swaying red wine.

Wait, what did she hear? The teacher is going to be Ryan’s bodyguard???

Maybe Ryan himself didn't realize it, but Casradi knew how shocking this matter was. She was a teacher, a seventh-level Holy Word Mage, and the Honorary Archbishop of the Gate of Janus. If she didn't want to do it, it would be useless even if the emperor came!

Don’t think that the teacher is ordinary just because she has always been low-key!

"...Then it's settled. I'll let you know once the alliance is concluded." Ryan raised his glass to signal, then walked away.

"Teacher, are you really going to the West with Ryan?" Casradi asked in a low voice, "Didn't you say you were going to wait for your friend to come to Barron?"

Hai Nuo chuckled: "There's still time, right? I'll wait for her here. If I miss the time, I'll leave a letter for her."

"That's not the question..." Casradi said with a strange expression, "Teacher, when did your relationship with Ryan become so good?"

"Eh?" Hai Nuo was startled. "Is there...?"

"There's none?"

Hai Nuo was stunned for a moment, then chuckled: "Lian and I are just friends. He helped me before, so it's only right that I help him now."

"Ryan also helped the teacher? What was it?"

"Casradi, it's not a good habit to ask about other people's affairs."

"Um...sorry."

Casradi lowered his head and looked at the wine in the glass, feeling something strange in his heart.

The Holy Word Mage was very perceptive. For some reason, she always felt that Hainuo was very special to Ryan and a little too close to him.

Back when I was at the academy, the teacher had little interest in anything other than academic research, right? This time, he actually agreed to go to the Western Territory with Ryan. I mean, it's a favor, but... wait, the teacher won't...

Casradi quickly shook his head, and when he came to his senses, he found that Hainuo was looking at Ryan's position, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth involuntarily.

"!!!"

Something is wrong, maybe even nine out of ten!

"Teacher, I want to go to the West too!"

Hainuo: “?”

......

The banquet ended smoothly in a harmonious atmosphere.

Some were very happy, some were confused, and some were helpless... When the party was over, the nobles left the castle one after another and returned to their residences in carriages.

"Sir Ryan, please wait a moment. I have something I want to talk to you about."

'Weine' called out to Ryan who was about to leave.

"Your Majesty, what else do you want to see Ryan about so late at night?" Casradi turned back as he walked to the door.

"Of course it's a matter of state, maybe it's about the Western Territory." Hai Nuo chuckled. "Let's go, Kasradi. Don't overthink it."

"is it?"

The matter in the Western Territory...that's right, Ryan came to see the teacher specially before, it seems to be true.

I think Her Majesty Wei Nei also wants to resolve the hidden dangers of the Western Barbarians as soon as possible.

"Queen Mortis, may I speak with you again about the alliance? It won't take you too long."

'Weinei' said again.

"Of course, that's what I hope for."

"Your Majesty." Duke Shane bowed to Mortis, "Then I will wait for you outside the castle."

"Go."

Shane bowed to 'Vine' again and left.

"Saint, it seems that this time Augustus and the Northern Federation will discuss many topics that we don't know about. Maybe they will really try to deal with the Gate of Janus." Qiao Xi followed Lin Qi and whispered.

Lin Qi didn't say anything, but a hint of contempt appeared in his indifferent eyes, as if expressing some kind of disdain.

Soon, only Ryan, 'Vine' and 'Mortis' were left in the hall.

Ryan coughed lightly. "Well... now let's discuss the issues of the northern continent. Um, the western border must be resolved as soon as possible, and then we must join forces to repel the Arcadian army. Once the rifles are produced, it will be time for us to strike back. In addition, we must develop the navy. Maritime hegemony cannot be underestimated... dwarves, civilization technology and... um? Your Majesty, what are you doing? Queen Mortis... please shut up!!!"

.......

Today I only have 7,000 words. My thumb is still hurting, maybe it's tenosynovitis, I've had it before and it really affects my typing. I can only write this much so far. I'll take a rest early and see how it goes tomorrow. Sigh~~

As usual, I'm asking for monthly tickets. I wanted to exchange my monthly tickets.

Chapter 154: Venetian x Mortis, two empresses competing on the same stage [6k5]

Ryan discovered that communicating with the trumpets and communicating with the adult heroines were two completely different experiences.

Even if their appearance and figure are not very different, when you open the game to check the character's psychological activities during the communication, the nature begins to change. If you integrate the character's perspective at this time, then...

Ryan swore that he was definitely a man with normal XP!

But humans are curious creatures, so Ryan's emotional value increased much faster in the multi-perspective curiosity state than in normal state, so much so that for a brief moment Ryan felt like a pervert? Oh! Damn God of Desire, what on earth did He do to me?

Ryan felt that he should be a proper gentleman, stay rational and stay away from gambling and drugs.

"You know what? Although Augustus's territory is smaller than the Northern Federation, it has a unique geographical location. Asakas in the south is a place where bread is produced in abundance. Vene, it's not far from your former territory."

"Yeah, I've heard of that place too, so yeah..."

'Weinei' and 'Motis' were enjoying the hot dogs that Ryan prepared for the banquet. They were tempted by the taste of the hot dogs and were discussing that the hot dogs must be eaten with hot cheese or with some cream to achieve the best taste.

"The bread from Asakas is big and soft, and has a unique milky flavor. Oh, and when you enjoy it, you must add a hot dog and then top it with carefully prepared butter. It is definitely the most tempting delicacy in Augustus."

"Is Asakas' bread... like this?"

As a native of the Southern Territory, 'Weine' naturally knew how to make a hot dog in Asakas bread. She remembered that she had tried it once before, but she didn't expect Ryan to still remember it.

"Oh oh oh! Yes, that's it. Isn't it great?" Ryan's eyes lit up. The perfect combination of soft bread and hot dog was first-class in both visual effect and taste.

"I'll try it."

'Motis' had never tasted this kind of combination before, and after hearing Ryan's praise, she couldn't help but want to try it.

Taking a bite of the Asakas bread prepared by 'Weine' and the hot dog prepared by Ryan, the first thing you taste is the rich milky aroma of the bread, the soft texture, and the perfect amount of red grape garnish on the bread.

The hot dog was heated and had a slightly hard texture, which perfectly matched the softness of the bread, making 'Motis' feel refreshed.

"Well... Mortis, don't eat so fast. If you want to eat, make it yourself." 'Vine' expressed her dissatisfaction slightly. This hot dog in Asakas bread, a famous dish in the South, was carefully prepared and tasted by her, but 'Mortis' ate it with relish. This was not prepared for 'Mortis'.

10①2二八з零㈨⑧

"How stingy."

Mortis curled his lips and took the half-eaten meal out of his mouth. After savoring it carefully, he said, "Although it's delicious, it's still lacking some cream to smooth it out. If it had some cream, the two would be a perfect combination."

"Right? This should be the perfect combination, but the cream needs to be carefully prepared to perfectly complement the hot dog and bun." 'Vene' raised the corner of her mouth, her bright eyes filled with anticipation. "It just so happens that I know some cream-mixing techniques and can make it on the spot, but I'll need your cooperation, Ryan."

Ryan also said expectantly: "No problem, I can cooperate with whatever you want to do."

"Vene, you can't eat alone," Mortis said dissatisfiedly. "Although the bread of Asakas is famous, you don't know that the deep-sea hunters are actually born gourmets, and the bread we produce is definitely not inferior to that of Asakas!"

As he spoke, Mortis took out the bread he had prepared long ago.

First of all, it looks very big and white, and looks more like a cake. To be honest, Ryan rarely sees such a big bread. He has tasted almost the largest bread in the entire northern continent in the Kingdom of Lot. That feeling is unforgettable, but there are very few breads that can reach the scale of the Kingdom of Lot. Even in Asakas, it is rare to find one. I didn't expect that the bread of the Deep Sea Hunter is also so big.

The milky flavor of the bread is no less than the one brought out by 'Weinei'. It is also garnished with fragrant red grapes, and it is so crystal clear that people want to take a bite immediately.

Then 'Mortis' pushed 'Vene' aside and made a hot dog with the Deep Sea Hunter's special bread. The bread was so big that it almost completely sandwiched the hot dog. 'Mortis' took the first bite and murmured with satisfaction.

"Vine" protested, "Empress Mortis, a bun that's too big will ruin the overall balance. It needs to be perfectly balanced with the hot dog and topped with butter to make it the perfect match."

Mortis gave a provocative smile. "How would you know if you don't try it? The hot dog will be best when it's blended in. If you don't believe me, try it."

"Just try it."

Wei Nei wasn't convinced. She felt that her bread paired perfectly with Ryan's hot dog. Everything requires balance; extremes don't make food delicious... Guh. Wei Nei took her first bite, and her previous thoughts vanished. The hot dog, sandwiched between two large slices of bread, resembled a lotus leaf with its pointed tip. The softness, accentuated by a touch of firmness, brought the flavor of this delicacy to its fullest.

"It's definitely not worse than Asakas...we can say they're evenly matched." 'Vene' said stubbornly.

The actual result was about 64 to 64, and she did lose a point, but as the Empress of Augustus, she would never admit that she was worse than the Northern Federation. This was the dignity of the Empress.

Mortis sneered, "Losing is losing. How can the great Empress Augustus not even afford to lose?"

"Hmph~ That's not a loss. The combination of bread and hot dogs is only part of the delicacy. Ultimately, they need cream to blend in and achieve the most perfect state. Didn't you say that just now?"

"You mean, who can come up with the most perfect flavor?"

"Of course, regardless of taste, a good meal requires color, aroma, and taste. If we want to compete, of course we have to look at the final result."

"Very good, it was you who initiated the challenge, and I accept it."

"Ha~"

'Vine' and 'Mortis' looked at each other, and the battle in each other's eyes was particularly eye-catching, which made Ryan confused... No, where did this unreasonable desire to compare come from?

Bibo Burning Series?

Having said that, Ryan didn't mind being the referee for this competition between the two empresses. Besides, he also needed to provide hot dogs as raw materials, and the key point of the final competition between the two empresses - cream preparation, required his full cooperation.

But problems soon arose.

He was alone, and even if he had to help make the cream, he could only satisfy the needs of one person at a time.

"You go first." Mortis said generously.

Wei Nei snorted. "Don't think I don't know what you're thinking. The performance of the cream container will be greatly improved after the first use, and the mixing time will be longer after the second use. You want to mix it for a longer time to make the cream more mellow, right?"

"I didn't think so. You misunderstood."

"Whether it is or not, you know it in your heart, but it doesn't matter."

A smile appeared in 'Vine's' eyes. 'Mortis' experience in making cream was obviously not as good as hers. He only knew that the later containers would last longer, but he didn't know that the cream made for the first time would have the highest consistency and fragrance. The cream would become thinner as time went on. Even if used for multiple times in a row, no cream would be produced.

Mortis, you are destined to fail in this competition!

Ryan didn't say a word throughout the whole process. As a referee he needed to be fair and just.

"Then, let's get started."

'Vine' prepares the cream.

Her technique is light and flexible.

She held the handle of the cream maker and began to stir it, but not the entire maker at the same time. Instead, she used the agility of her fingers to sometimes rotate it, sometimes pump it up and down, and soon a small amount of cream overflowed from the top of the maker.

Mortis was slightly surprised. This speed was much faster than she had expected.

After all, today was the first time she used the cream maker. Even with the help of magic, according to her experience, the maker would not overflow with cream so quickly. Looking at her expression again, there was satisfaction and appreciation, and it was obvious that she recognized the skills of 'Weine' very much.

For a moment, Mortis couldn't help but feel a little worried. This was her first time competing with 'Vene'. As the empress of the Northern Federation, she didn't want to lose to the empress of Augustus in this regard. This was a contest concerning the honor of the two empires!

Fortunately, except for the cream overflowing at the beginning, there was no change in the subsequent state. Seeing that there was still no cream appearing, "Weinei" felt a little anxious and increased the strength of the mixture a bit.

When she was halfway through the preparation, she tried to combine the hot dog and bread together, trying to make the preparation reach the most perfect state. If the cream could flow out of the bread, the artistic feeling of natural eruption and scattering would be the finishing touch of this gourmet production.

Of course, this method is more difficult. 'Vene' was already a little difficult to modulate, and it is even more so now.

"Why isn't it healed yet?" 'Vine' was a little surprised. "It wasn't like this last time."

Ryan coughed lightly: "I recently strengthened it, so it may be more difficult to use."

"I see..."

"How about you both mix it together? The enhanced mixer will produce more cream than before, which should be enough for the two of you."

"Oh well."
