Chapter 130: You're not eating alone! (Two chapters in one)

At the same time.

In the dining room of the Earl Harris's mansion in the county town of Mayest County.

Several middle-aged men, obviously dressed as nobles, were having breakfast together.

One of them, a bearded man wearing a noble dress with black stripes, was elegantly cutting a large piece of beef ribs. The knife and fork made of pure silver were very skillfully controlled in his hands.

One piece after another of the square steak was stuffed into his mouth.

Compared with Baron Alonso who was enjoying his breakfast with relish, the two people opposite him were obviously confused, and their eating movements were almost twice as slow.

If Ryan was at the scene, he would find that these two were actually Knight Lloyd of the Habsburg Manor in Shining Gold Town, and Perez's swordsmanship instructor.

Although the two of them were also eating breakfast slowly, they couldn't figure out why they received a message from Baron Alonso, the eldest son of Earl Habsburg, inviting them to have breakfast early in the morning.

The two of them had a very ordinary personal relationship with Alonso.

Therefore, when they received the news, they were still surprised. However, as a knight under the Habsburg family, it was not good to offend the eldest son of the Earl's family for no reason.

Originally, the two of them thought that Alonso invited them to breakfast together, and there must be something important to discuss.

But at this moment, breakfast was almost over, and the baron in front of them still did not mention anything important, but only asked about the recent situation of the Habsburg manor.

In this regard, the two people were very confused. Since there was nothing important, why did Baron Alonso call them over at the same time in the morning?

To win over? Can a breakfast win over two knights?

That knight is too worthless.

At this time, the beautiful maid on the side handed over a hot towel respectfully.

Alonso took it and wiped his mouth, and said with a smile: "My two knights, are you satisfied with the breakfast?"

"Of course, thank you for the rich hospitality of the baron." Knight Lloyd nodded and said.

"Very rich, thank you, Lord Baron."

At this time, the butler Michelle suddenly walked quickly from outside to Alonso and said, "Lord, Baroness Crowley is here to visit, it seems that there is something urgent!"

"Hmm? Jennifer?" Alonso still has some ideas about this young, beautiful, and business-minded Baroness.

Usually, she avoids him.

Why did she take the initiative to find him this time?

This made Alonso a little confused about her intentions.

Could it be that the two family knights of the Crowley family finally forced her to have no choice, so she came to ask for help?

If so, it's good news!

"Lord Baron, since you have guests, we will return to Shining Gold Town first." Lloyd was about to get up and say goodbye.

"Wait, Knight Lloyd, Instructor Perez, please wait a moment." Alonso hurriedly stopped the two.

Alonso's eyes flickered, joking, how can I let you go back to Shining Gold Town now, the Black Flame Church can now hold a blood sacrifice ceremony in Shining Gold Town.

"Michel, let Baroness Crawley come directly to the restaurant." After thinking for a while, Alonso said directly to the butler.

"As you command, Baron."

Soon, Baroness Crawley, dressed as a noble lady, walked into the restaurant. Her beautiful appearance, towering height and fair skin immediately attracted the attention of the three men.

Although the three were nobles and had no shortage of women, they could not help but take a second look at beautiful women.

Especially the extraordinary bodies of formal knights, which often caused their hormones to burst, and their desires in this regard were far greater than those of ordinary people.

"Hey! Knight Lloyd, why are you here?"

The moment Baroness Crawley saw Lloyd, her beautiful eyes widened and she couldn't help but blurt out.

Baroness Crawley had seen Knight Lloyd in several noble cocktail parties before. She knew that he was the head of the Habsburg Manor in Shimmering Gold Town and was quite trusted by the Earl.

"Huh?" Lloyd was confused.

Why, shouldn't I be here?

Seeing Knight Lloyd with a confused look on his face, Baroness Crowley's heart skipped a beat.

"Don't you know that the town of Shining Gold has just been attacked by cultists?"

"What!" Lloyd's face suddenly changed. He looked at Perez and immediately realized that Baron Alonso's call for them early in the morning was probably not just for breakfast.

It seems that the rumors he heard before were not groundless!

Alonso was stunned?

What's going on?

A noble lady who lives a life of luxury is so well-informed?

However, when he saw the look in the eyes of the two knights opposite him, he cried out in his heart that it was bad.

Now, he couldn't stop it even if he wanted to.

"What? Baroness Crowley, is your information accurate?" Alonso stood up and said in pretended shock.

"Of course, Jenny is in Shining Gold at this moment." Baroness Crowley said very confidently.

"Baron, please excuse us!"

Hearing what Baroness Crowley said, Lloyd turned around and left without waiting for Alonso to say anything.

This was a bit rude among the nobles.

And the way the two knights looked at Alonso just now was obviously a bit wrong.

Baroness Crowley, who was good at observing people's expressions, saw all the details in their expressions and thought about it.

"Please wait, Knight Lloyd, I will go with you." Alonso reacted quickly.

He smiled bitterly in his heart. Alonso never thought that the problem in this matter would be caused by Baroness Crowley. What a hell.

Now, he could only volunteer to go to Glittering Gold Town to try to clear himself of suspicion in this matter.

"Wait, Knight Lloyd, I will go with you. After all, Jenny is also in Glittering Gold Town, and I am worried about her." Baroness Crowley said hurriedly.

-

Glittering Gold Town.

Square outside the church.

Although Mitri rushed towards Ryan quickly, he did not rush up to fight him in close combat. His first thought was to use long-range attack to get rid of the "exhausted" Ryan.

He stopped about 20 meters away from Ryan, and carefully controlled a ball of black flame fire and threw it towards Ryan accurately.

This made Ryan secretly say "what a pity".

"Swish!"

Ryan took a side step and dodged Mitri's black flame fireball.

Immediately afterwards, Ryan rushed towards Mitri at a high speed. His agile posture and smooth movements did not show any signs of injury or exhaustion!

Mitri's pupils suddenly shrank, and he exclaimed with an expression of disbelief:

"How is this possible!!"

"How could you not be injured at all?"

"Aren't you exhausted!!"

Facing Ryan, who suddenly turned from a sick cat into a fierce tiger, Mitri couldn't figure out the reason no matter how hard he tried!

Just now, the opponent's muscles were trembling slightly, and he couldn't stand steadily even with a big sword. Mitri was sure that even the best troubadour or opera singer he had ever seen could not perform such a realistic effect!

In the short half second that Mitri was stunned, Ryan crossed a distance of more than ten meters.

The distance between the two quickly closed.

Mitri suddenly looked flustered.

He quickly retreated backwards while exerting all his strength to cast the black flame fireball.

"Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!"

He seemed to have some kind of blessing, and the speed of releasing black flame fireballs was faster than those of the previous black flame monks!

The black flame fireballs immediately attacked Ryan like a string of cannonballs.

"Break the limit!"

As Ryan activated the limit break, his strength and physical agility increased by 35% and his speed increased again!

Several black flame fireballs passed through the afterimage of Ryan's high-speed movement, hit the ground behind him, and exploded one after another, with smoke and dust everywhere.

The distance between the two was getting closer and closer.

Ryan swayed left and right again quickly, dodging the opponent's two black flame fireballs.

Then, the glimmering giant sword made a rare upward slash, directly cutting off the opponent's right hand holding the strange bone staff.

Then, with the experience of the lv6 giant bear swordsmanship, Ryan instinctively took another step to the right, and the greatsword was a slash!

"Sizzle!"

Ryan's left foot braked suddenly, and he stopped from the high-speed movement while maintaining the sideways slashing posture.

"Ah!!!"

A shrill scream came from behind him!

"Plop!"

Then, there was another sound of a heavy object falling to the ground.

Ryan's wrist shook slightly, and the deep red on the sword suddenly became much less.

At this time, he slowly turned around. He

saw that the Black Flame monk had been split into two halves from the right shoulder to the left hip. The sound of the heavy object falling to the ground just now was the sound of the opponent's upper body falling to the ground.

The Black Flame monk's strong vitality has become a kind of shackle and torture at this time, preventing him from dying quickly, and he can only face the coming of death slowly.

This fear of facing death is the instinct of all living things, so at this moment, the opponent is still screaming at the top of his lungs!

But all this has nothing to do with Ryan.

He didn't care about the other party's life or death. He saw Ryan walked forward and picked up the strange bone staff tightly held in the other party's right hand.

It seems that it is because of this thing that the attack speed of this Black Flame Monk's long-range fireballs has been greatly increased.

Moreover, Ryan also saw that it was this thing that played an important role in the evil ceremony just now. At this moment, there was a trace of bloody smell escaping from the blood-colored crystal on the top of the bone staff.

However, when Ryan held the bone staff, suddenly, the system prompt sounded.

This immediately made Ryan stunned!

The system prompt was as follows:

[Ding! The host was detected to have obtained an unknown strange object, triggering the job change - Black Flame Monk! ]

[The prerequisites for promotion to Black Flame Monk are: 1. Possess any extraordinary professional panel; 2. Spirit is more than 12 points; 3. Believe in the God of Hunting or use unknown strange objects. The current conditions are met, yes/no to change to Black Flame Monk? ]

Hey!

My own professional panel system can actually change to Black Flame Monk?

A profession that is obviously in the evil camp?

This made Ryan very curious!

The strange black flame was indeed extremely powerful, and the Black Flame Monk was more like a combination of a wizard and a knight.

If it weren't for his extraordinary characteristic 'Iron Skin Level 2', he would have died several times!

However, when Ryan thought of the scene of the 'snake waist', he shuddered all over!

"Improving my strength is certainly my wish, but becoming a half-human, half-ghost is really..."

"Moreover, after the job change, the original Knight (Extraordinary) panel will definitely be overwritten. Because the total number of my current panels is already 4/4, so it is not a new addition, but a job change."

After thinking about it silently, Ryan shook his head slightly and chose no.

At this time, two cavalrymen came in, bowed respectfully to Ryan, pointed to the body broken into two pieces on the ground, and said: "Lord Ryan, should we move this one outside as well?"

Ryan nodded.

Including the previous bodies, he had three trophies that he had not picked up. Unfortunately, the strongest one "burned himself", and the trophies were also destroyed!

Just as Ryan walked out of the church hall.

"Ryan."

A familiar voice sounded not far away.

"Mother?" Ryan was very familiar with this voice, and immediately turned his head with surprise.

He saw his mother Emma, ​​supported by the noble lady Jenny, walking down from a luxurious carriage on the side.

"How did these two people get together?" Ryan didn't understand it at once.

"Ryan, are you okay?" Mother Emma walked up quickly and carefully checked Ryan's injuries.

"Mom, I'm fine! I have thick skin and strong muscles, don't worry!" Ryan patted his chest and said.

With the extraordinary characteristic 'Iron Skin Level 2', he estimated that his defense power was not much different from that of the Iron Mane Bear. Although he was probably not as good as the Bear King, he was also really thick skin and strong muscles.

After mother Emma took Ryan to take a closer look, she found that it was indeed only charred by the flames, and there was no injury at all. She couldn't help but sighed and finally felt relieved.

"By the way, Ryan, this is Miss Jenny. You should know her, right? The one I saw last time was also Miss Jenny, right?" Mother Emma seemed to have thought of something, and looked at Ryan with a rather angry look, and said.

"Yes, mother, Miss Jenny is my friend." Ryan turned his head to look at Jenny, smiled and nodded.

The affirmation in Ryan's eyes made Jenny happy. She knew that what she had done before seemed to have a better effect than expected.

She cleared her throat and said, "Sir Ryan, I just happened to meet your mother."

Jenny briefly told the story, and Ryan turned his head to look at his mother Emma again. Seeing his mother nod slightly, he couldn't help but really recognize Miss Jenny in front of him.

Not everyone will think about the safety of others in a dangerous environment.

At least from this point of view, this Miss Jenny is still very good.

"Mother, shall I take you home first?" Ryan thought about it and decided to take his mother home to rest.

"Yes, Aunt Emma, ​​you were frightened today. Take my carriage first and go home to rest for a while." Jenny immediately agreed.

"Okay, Ryan, then you..."

"Mother, I will accompany you home first and come back later."

Before Ryan left, he waved to the short man Matteo and said, "Mateo, I leave this to you. I will take my mother home first and come back later."

"Yes, Lord Ryan! Leave this to me." Matteo patted his chest and promised.

So Ryan and his mother Emma got on Jenny's carriage and drove towards home.

In the carriage, Ryan suddenly remembered that Jenny seemed to be looking for him, but because of the attack on Shining Gold Town, they had never had a good chat.

"By the way, Miss Jenny, why are you here this time?"

"Oh! Lord Ryan, I almost forgot that you told me last time that you wanted to learn spiritual language. In addition to the two books last time, this time, I happened to find an ancient book written in spiritual language in the family library. I thought you might be interested, so I personally gave it to you."

Jenny said as she handed Ryan an old book with a slightly damaged appearance.

Ryan took it and looked at it, his eyebrows raised, his expression was quite surprised!

Although he had just started learning spiritual language (Akkadian), this book.——

Lloyd took the lead, followed by Perez, Alonso followed closely with two teams of cavalry, and at the end of the team was Baroness Crowley's carriage and guards.

The group set out from the county town like a long snake and quickly moved towards the town of Shining Gold.

When they were halfway through the journey, they met a night watchman from Shimmering Gold who was on his way to the county town to report the news. So they hurriedly asked, "Shimmering Gold was attacked?"

"Are you Knight Lloyd?"

"Yes, the church in Shimmering Gold was suddenly attacked by cultists during the worship service. At this moment, many residents have been injured or killed!"

The night watchman from Shimmering Gold had seen the head of the Habsburg Manor in several missions and couldn't help but say with joy.

He was the second group of people sent by Matteo to ask for help.

Since there was no news from the first group of people who asked for help for a long time, Matteo sent people again soon.

When the night watchman left Shimmering Gold, Ryan had just arrived at the church.

"How many people are there on the other side? Where is your sheriff, Lord Hamilton?" Lloyd asked anxiously.

"Lord Hamilton went to Nightsong Forest with the church team this morning."

"What!" Lloyd and Perez looked at each other and saw deep worry in each other's eyes!

Shimmering Gold is probably going to be finished this time!

He and Perez are not here!

Hamilton wasn't there either!

The entire Goldshire town didn't have any extraordinary fighting power!

Relying on ordinary security guards and night watchmen, no matter how brave they were, they couldn't resist the cultists led by extraordinary fighting power.

"Who is responsible for the defense of Goldshire Town now?"

"Uh, the new deputy sheriff, Lord Ryan."

"Ryan?" Lloyd and Perez were stunned.

They had heard Hamilton mention a young man named Ryan a while ago. It was said that he had a knight's talent and was appointed as the captain of the night watch.

But when was he appointed as the deputy sheriff?

However, none of this mattered.

The important thing was that Ryan's words alone could not resist the cultists.

Alas! Goldshire Town. I'm afraid it's another tragedy in Monem Town!

Lloyd and Perez couldn't help but whip their horses hard and galloped towards Goldshire Town.

After hearing this, Alonso, who was standing aside, looked heartbroken on the surface, but what he thought in his heart was completely the opposite.

When Knight Lloyd and his party arrived at the outskirts of Goldshire Town, they saw black smoke coming out of the center of the town. At the same time, they did not hear any shouts of killing, and their hearts suddenly sank.

"It seems that the cultists have succeeded in the attack!"

Alonso, who saw the same situation, was slightly happy. It seems that the Black Flame Church was quite quick to complete the blood sacrifice ceremony so quickly.

They should have evacuated.

Calculating the time, it is almost time.

This made Alonso relax a lot, and the overall situation was decided.

As soon as they entered the town, they heard cries of pain one after another.

This made Baron Alonso more confident.

It seems that he just needs to go through the motions.

The only pity is that the original plan was to have the pirates plunder Goldshire to cover up the blood sacrifice ceremony of the Black Flame Church.

But now, it is not appropriate.

I am afraid that the matter of the Black Flame Church cannot be suppressed.

Baroness Crowley, who was in the carriage behind, saw the terrible situation in Goldshire and couldn't help but feel a pang in her heart.

"So many people died, will Jenny be in trouble?"

As they got closer and closer to the church in Goldshire, the emaciated corpses carried out made Lloyd and Perez frown.

Until they approached the church and saw a group of night watchmen in front, they couldn't help but drive their horses forward and said:

"Who is in charge here?"

"It's me!" The little Matteo heard the noise and turned his head.

"Hey! Knight Lloyd, you are finally here!"

"Have the cultists evacuated?" Lloyd's face was as dark as water.

Matteo shook his head and pointed to a cart in the square outside the church: "The cultists are all there."

"Huh?"

Several people couldn't help but look at it in confusion.

On the cart, there were some things that looked like corpses lying in a bloody mess.

"Are you saying that all the cultists are dead?" Lloyd reacted instantly and asked in surprise.

Matteo nodded and said, "Yes, they were all killed by Lord Ryan!"

"That's impossible!" Alonso couldn't help but blurt out.

But he immediately realized that it was not appropriate to say so, so he immediately added, "I mean, don't they have any extraordinary people on the other side?"

"Of course, sir, there are a total of four extraordinary people on the other side."

"That's what I said!" Alonso couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

He just figured out that the captain of the Night Watch meant that the cultists they killed were all here.

Matteo looked at Alonso strangely and said, "The bodies of three of the four enemy extraordinary people are here."

"What? Four extraordinary people, and you killed three of them?" Alonso's eyes suddenly widened twice, and he said with an expression of disbelief.

At this moment, he thought he was hallucinating!

"Yeah, how is this possible? How did you kill them?" Lloyd didn't suspect that Matteo was lying, but he felt that this matter was a bit outrageous.

More than 20 ordinary night watchmen repelled four cultists led by extraordinary powers and killed three of them.

The autobiography of the troubadour didn't dare to write this!

Perez also looked at Matteo in surprise.

Even the beautiful Baroness Crowley lifted the curtain of the carriage and stared at Matteo in surprise.

From the other party's words just now, she heard Ryan's name.

Although she knew that Ryan was very good at fighting, she couldn't believe that he could fight to this extent!

Seeing that several big men focused their attention on him, Matteo also felt pressured.

However, he still felt that these big men from the county city were quite strange, and they seemed to not believe their fighting power.

In addition, he felt that it was necessary to correct the mistakes in the other party's words. After all, this was linked to their meritorious rewards.

Of course, although Lord Ryan accounted for the absolute majority, the Night Watch was a whole, and they could share a little bit of merit.

"That sir, he didn't kill three, but four extraordinary people!"

"Look! There is another one over there, and it has been burned to ashes!"

Matteo pointed to a ball of black ash in the square outside the church.

Now, whether it was Lloyd, Perez, Alonso or Baroness Crowley, they all stopped talking!

Several people stared at the ball of black ash with wide eyes!

The whole scene was silent! ——In

a valley somewhere east of the town of Shining Gold.

Seventy or eighty strong men holding various weapons were gathering here to rest.

The leader was a one-eyed man carrying an exaggerated bow.

He was Phil Kratz, the deputy leader of the Black Sail Pirates. Not only did he have the strength of a senior knight, but he was also particularly good at archery. He was a rare sharpshooter among pirates and was nicknamed "Bloody Shooter".

He was seen pacing back and forth with a puzzled look on his face.

Because this is inconsistent with the agreement of the Black Flame Church!

Before, the other party said very clearly that once the flare was launched at about ten o'clock, they would plunder the town of Shining Gold. For this, the Black Flame Church also paid them a large sum of money.

But it was almost half past ten in the morning, and there was no flare in the sky over Shining Gold.

Instead, there were a few puffs of black smoke. I'm afraid that several families were preparing lunch early?

Damn, the brothers are all hungry!

In addition, he also promised Baron Norman that he would help him deal with a kid with quasi-knight strength this time. It is said that the other party is working in the night watch of Shining Gold and has a knight's talent.

Of course, this kind of small thing is just a matter of convenience!

The main thing is that if there is still no signal, it will be a bit troublesome for me!

Should I retreat or go up?

"Fuck, what are those sneaky cultists doing?"

"I've been waiting for a long time!"

A pirate spit out the grass roots in his mouth and complained impatiently.

"Boss, why do we have to wait for their signal? Can't we just go straight ahead?"

"Yes, let's go straight ahead, Boss!"

"Do we Black Sail Pirates have to obey the orders of those cultists?"

Someone started the conversation, and in an instant, the hot-tempered pirates exploded.

In order to rob the town of Shining Gold, they rushed from the coast in the middle of the night, without even having breakfast, all thinking of making a fortune.

As a result, there is no news about those grandsons now.

Could it be that they are eating alone?
