Sitting in the carriage returning to Purple Gem City.

A'er looked at Ryan who was sitting opposite him, and the admiration in his eyes never stopped.

What a talent! Ford's lion is so lucky. I wish he was my son.

Thinking of this, A'er's eyes turned, it seemed... it was not impossible.

After all, there are several of his descendants who are of the same age as Ryan, and it would be great if they could marry Ryan.

Then isn't Ryan also half his son?

A'er nodded secretly, and arranged for them to meet a few times 'by chance' when they returned to Purple Sapphire City.

Then Aor took out a magic ring from his pocket and handed it to Ryan.

"Ryan, this is my extra reward for you."

"If you hadn't destroyed the forbidden formation in time, my Morris family would have been severely damaged."

"You deserve this."

Hearing this, Ryan withdrew his gaze from the scenery outside the carriage and focused his eyes on the magic ring in A'er's hand.

Looking at A'er's affirmative look, Ryan took the magic ring and examined it.

Ryan's consciousness entered the magic ring, and there was no rare treasure or rare breathing method inside.

But human heads.

The head of the Wrathful Church.

These heads made Ryan's eyes flash.

The hatred between the Empire and the Church of Rage is extremely deep, so every head of the Church of Rage represents a considerable achievement.

Not to mention that there are four heads of fifth-level auras here.

These achievements were enough to make Ryan a high-ranking viscount directly recognized by the empire.

This is different from the viscount status that is obtained through unspoken rules and relying on one's own family.

This kind of viscount recognized by the empire can completely own his own territory and the right to conscript troops.

If the three fifth-level people in the mine had not self-destructed, there wouldn't be much trace left.

Otherwise, Ryan would have been promoted to earl.

By then, if Ford makes another effort, it is not impossible for the Grey family to have two marquises.

Then Ryan returned the magic ring to Aor.

"Uncle A'er, I can't return to the royal city for the time being. How about you help me report these achievements?"

Listening to Ryan's words, A'er was a little confused.

"You're not going back to the royal city? Are you still worried about those old stubborn people?"

"No, I heard that the Empire recently incorporated the Azure Forest into its territory, and the whole country is celebrating."

"And His Majesty has also made a big fuss about the role you and Prince Otto played in this."

"The incident of you killing the nobles has long been suppressed. Even if you come back, those old stubborn people won't say anything."

Ryan shook his head.

"Uncle A'er, I came out this time to gain experience and travel to the Far East. I'm not even halfway through my journey, and I don't want to give up halfway."

After listening to Ryan's words, A'er was silent for a while and then took the magic ring back from Ryan's hand.

"Since you have made up your mind, I can't say much."

"As your elder, I still have some things to tell you."

"The Far East is too far from the Empire, and information is not always readily available. Therefore, you must prioritize your own safety while you are out there."

"If you encounter someone who is too powerful and you can't defeat him, just turn to the backstage. If that doesn't work, just be humble enough to save your life."

Listening to A'er's instructions, Ryan nodded frequently.

While everyone was chatting, the carriage finally arrived at the Purple Sapphire City.

Looking at the lively scene outside the carriage, A'er opened the door.

"Get out of the car, Ryan. You are the protagonist of Purple Gem City today."

Ryan followed Aor out of the car and immediately saw two rows of knights guarding both sides of the street.

The streets were filled with cheering people from the Purple Gem City.

Because Aol vigorously publicized Ryan's contribution to this battle in the Purple Sapphire City.
