Chapter 150 A little trouble, already dealt with (two chapters in one)

Since Tokkar Hammer Technique has entered level 4 (3/1000), Ryan is now comprehending some fragmented Tokkar Hammer Technique training memories in his mind.

These memory fragments are scattered fragments of Hammer Technique training, which are being quickly digested and absorbed by Ryan and integrated into muscle memory. The

whole process gave Ryan the feeling that he suddenly had the experience of practicing Tokkar Hammer Technique for a year.

Some details of Hammer Technique that were previously neglected have also been improved and supplemented.

In addition, Ryan also noticed that his Knight (Extraordinary) professional level has reached level 3 (476/500) and will soon be able to enter level 4.

Of course, since the professional level of the wizard apprentice is already level 4, it is still a long way to go before being promoted again.

"Ahem. Ryan, I really didn't expect that you could kill Adams." Hamilton patted Ryan on the shoulder and said with a look of relief.

However, it seems that because of the counterattack damage from the 'Secondary Physical Reflection Shield', Hamilton's physical condition is not very good at the moment.

His body has been injured by some unknown energy and he is coughing non-stop.

"By the way, are you going to apply for the bounty directly this time, or report it as the deputy sheriff of Shimmering Town?"

"Uh" Hamilton's words made Ryan think involuntarily.

He is no longer a newcomer in the imperial system, and he certainly understands Hamilton's implication.

If he applies directly, he will get a reward of 1,000 imperial gold coins, and by the way, he can further improve the level of the bounty hunter.

If he reports it as the deputy sheriff of Shimmering Town, there will be basically no gold coin rewards, which will be converted into merit points. In addition, killing Adams will be included in the resume as a separate deed.

"Well, with your performance in this battle, I think you can definitely get a lot of meritorious rewards. Once you pass the canonization assessment, you will most likely be promoted immediately."

Hamilton saw Ryan hesitating and expressed his opinion tactfully.

In fact, Ryan was inclined to the first option. In the previous battle, he saw Adams's combat power and the combat power that a third-level wizard apprentice could burst out after having a few witchcraft scrolls in his hands. Obviously,

all of these require money, that is, gold coins to support!

But

if the official gets bigger and bigger, will there still be a shortage of money?

Think about the remuneration given by the Crowley family for hiring him as a guardian knight.

Thinking of this, Ryan couldn't help but smile.

In addition, if the latter is reported, Hamilton and his colleagues in the Night's Watch can add more or less beautiful things to their resumes and get a certain amount of meritorious rewards.

"Of course, Lord Hamilton, then report it in the name of the coordinated killing by the public security forces of Shining Gold. By the way, please don't be stingy with words for your and your colleagues' contributions in the battle." "

Good boy, you are thoughtful!" Hamilton couldn't help laughing while coughing.

Ryan's words naturally made the night watchmen hear it.

Many people were injured by the female ghost. They were originally treating their wounds with grimace. At this moment, their expressions were much more relaxed, and some even laughed.

Sometimes, as ordinary people, the night watchmen are more of a job to maintain their lives.

If they can get a little more and make their family's life better, even if the mission is sometimes dangerous and they will get hurt, they will still feel it is worth it.

"Apart from other things, the adjutant is really generous in terms of military exploits!" This is the voice of most of the elite night watchmen present.

Thinking of the female ghost, Ryan turned around and looked around, and found that the other party seemed to have disappeared on the spot with the defeat of Adams.

Ryan recalled that when the battle just ended, he vaguely saw that the opponent seemed to have a smile on his lips when he disappeared at the alley.

"Sheriff, lieutenant, look at this body." An elite night watchman reported.

"Leave it to the lieutenant!" Hamilton smiled and waved his hand.

At this time, Ryan remembered that he had not yet picked up his spoils.

I wonder what kind of spoils this strongest enemy he has encountered so far will bring him?

Ryan couldn't help but feel a long-lost sense of anticipation.

But when Ryan walked to the pile of black robe meat, he couldn't help but be a little dumbfounded!

This... is really a bit difficult to start with!

After hesitating for a moment, Ryan resisted the sticky and warm touch from his hands and searched the black robe.

The bottles and jars in the opponent's waist bag had been shattered, but the contents had not yet leaked.

So Ryan was very cautious not to turn them over first, but chose to collect other items first.

Soon, Ryan found all the spoils, a twisted wooden stick similar to a cane, a thin white finger bone, an iron key and a purse with a small amount of gold coins.

There was nothing else

. This made Ryan a little disappointed.

This feeling was very similar to the online game in Ryan's previous life, when a group of people killed a big BOSS, but the result was garbage dropped.

However, Ryan still carefully examined the three spoils.

First was the wooden stick, or more accurately, a short stick, with a slightly thick head and a much smaller bottom. The whole body was dark gray, and seemed to be polished from a whole unknown wood. As soon as

Ryan took it in his hand, he felt a sense of coolness, delicateness and heaviness. Obviously, this wood had a high density.

For a moment, Ryan couldn't tell whether this material was precious or how much it was worth.

And the thin white finger bone aroused Ryan's interest even more.

Since Ryan's mental power has reached 20 points, he immediately distinguished that the white finger bones had a more obvious breath of the female ghost.

So the finger bones are likely to be the remains of the other party before she died. Of

course, there is also a possibility that the finger bones have nothing to do with the female ghost before she died. It was just that after being transformed by Adams in some way, the finger bones became a medium for performing spells.

Next, it was the purse. Ryan opened it and saw only thirty or forty imperial gold coins.

This amount of wealth is really not proportional to the other party's strength.

He weighed the purse and put it away.

Finally, Ryan held the iron key and played with it.

"Obviously, the items left by Adams are completely incompatible with his strength. It is likely that they are hidden somewhere."

"Perhaps, this iron key in my hand is the key."

"It's a pity that I can't directly locate and find the other party's secret through this key."

At this time, Ryan saw two familiar slender figures appear at the entrance of the alley from the corner of his eye.

It was Lagre and Anna.

Both of them came.

Ryan was not surprised that Lagre could sense the movement here.

After all, the barbarian girl was experienced in fighting, and this place was not far from her bedroom. If she was still unaware of such a fierce battle, Ryan would find it strange.

But

how did Anna wake up?

Now they each have their own room.

By the way, Ryan suddenly remembered that Anna and he practiced basic meditation at the same time, which should be the effect of basic meditation.

Practicing basic meditation will gradually enhance mental strength, and naturally, perception will also increase.

"Anna, Lagre, how did you get here?" Ryan called.

"Ryan, here" The two looked around. Because the alley was dark, they did not see Adams' body at the end of the alley.

"A little trouble, it has been dealt with." Ryan comforted.

Little trouble?

Hearing what Ryan said, Hamilton's mouth twitched!

A wanted criminal with a reward of up to 1,000 imperial gold coins, in your eyes, is just a little trouble?

Well, you are the winner, you have the final say!

"Woof woof!" At this time, the greyhound 'Cookie' also poked out a dog head beside Lagre's beautiful legs.

This action

is exactly the same as his sister Mint! Ryan couldn't help but complain in his heart.

Hey!

A flash of inspiration flashed through Ryan's mind, and his eyes suddenly lit up!

He ran quickly towards the alley where Lagre and Anna were.

The two women saw Ryan rushing over, and their thoughts were different.

"It seems that Ryan and his team should have won the battle just now. This is great!"

"Hey, Ryan ran towards me. Isn't he going to give me a hug after the victory?"

"Then should I respond? Or should I hug him gently?"

Anna was a little entangled.

When Lagre saw Ryan rushing over, she immediately thought that Ryan should want to hug her and Anna.

"This guy is really getting more and more outrageous!"

"Aunt Emma is really something. She always instills in her son that as long as he becomes a noble lord, he can have a wife and a lover, no, a wife and multiple lovers!"

"He doesn't know that we barbarian girls are very traditional!"

"Oh! Forget it, it's okay to hug!" Lagre thought.

Just as the two girls were entangled and nervously waiting for Ryan's hug, suddenly, Ryan squatted down under their noses.

Ryan picked up Cookie's dog head and said, "Cookie, come with me."

In an instant, Cookie's dog eyes were shining!

Judging from his expression, it seemed to be saying that his family status in the master's heart was already above the two mistresses?

I don't know if it was Ryan's illusion, he always felt that Cookie seemed to have become smarter after taking the mutant growth potion.

Ryan took Cookie and quickly came to the pile of black robe minced meat.

This made the two women look at each other, and suddenly, they all felt a sense of loss.

Ryan then directed Cookie to first smell the bloody black robe on the ground, and then the short staff and iron key.

Then, Ryan gestured, and Cookie's eyes suddenly lit up, and he ran towards the north of Shining Gold Town while sniffing.

This made Ryan happy immediately.

Sure enough, the book in the previous life said that the sense of smell of dogs is thousands of times that of humans, and it is true!

"My lord, maybe we will have some unexpected gains." Ryan turned to Hamilton and said.

Hamilton looked at the greyhound running while sniffing, and immediately understood the meaning of Ryan's words.

He couldn't help laughing and said, "I won't go. It would be a burden if I go. You pick a few people to accompany you."

"Okay, my lord." Ryan nodded.

Ryan waved to Matteo from a distance.

Matteo ran over quickly.

"Call two smart ones to go with me." Ryan said.

"No problem, Adjutant! Vares, Lennon, you two follow me." Matteo's face lit up, he patted his chest and said.

Ryan's closeness made Matteo feel that his recent performance should still satisfy the adjutant.

"Yes, Captain!" Two elite night watchmen stepped forward and said.

Just as Ryan and the other three were about to follow Cookie to the north of Goldshire, he soon realized that there were two familiar footsteps behind him.

He turned around and saw that it was Lagre and Anna.

"Ryan, do you need us to accompany you?"

After a little thought, Ryan said, "Anna, you should go home first. It may be dangerous later. Lagre, then you can come with me."

Anna nodded, and at the same time, she lowered her head slightly, her eyes dimmed.

Sure enough, Ryan must have felt that he was a burden.

She glanced at Lagre, who was holding a brand new metal shield and looked heroic, and couldn't help but feel envious.

When will I be able to be like Lagre? How great it would be!

Soon, Ryan and his group of five arrived at the north of Goldshire.

However, what puzzled Ryan was that even though the greyhound Cookie came to the northern edge of Goldshire, it continued to run forward without any sign of stopping.

Could it be that Adams' residence is in a manor somewhere outside of the town of Shining Gold? Ryan couldn't help but guess in his heart.

But an hour has passed!

'Cookie' continued to run while sniffing, and it seemed that he was getting closer and closer to the county town.

In an instant, Ryan immediately reacted!

Yes, a master of Adams' strength is naturally most likely to hide in the county town.

After all, the resources needed by a third-level wizard apprentice to improve are basically impossible to provide in a small town.

In other words, it is very inconvenient for such a master to obtain resources if he lives in a small town.

The group of five people quickly passed through the city gate, and then 'Cookie' ran to a place that Ryan was becoming more and more familiar with.

Hey!

This is near Frank's Tavern.

A flash of inspiration flashed through his mind!

Ryan instantly thought of a perfect place.

Could it be that Adams usually hides in the Bat Market?

Sure enough, the greyhound Cookie walked into the alley with the bat mark, and then it barked a few times, looking at Ryan with a dog-like expression.

It seemed to be saying, "It should be here, but the breath is cut off here, there is nothing ahead!"

Ryan smiled and turned to Matteo and the other two and said, "Your uniforms are too obvious, wait here first."

"Yes, adjutant!" Matteo said with a smile.

After thinking for a while, Ryan said to Lagre, "Your shield and figure are too obvious, so you should wait for me here with Matteo and the others."

"Okay!" Lagre tightened her hand holding the shield and nodded.

The gap between her and Ryan's strength is a bit big now, so she didn't raise any objections.

Ryan grabbed Cookie and walked into the Bat Market.

The four people on the side looked at Ryan with surprise as he suddenly disappeared in front of them!

Immediately, the four of them looked at each other in surprise! ——At

this time, the sky had begun to dawn.

Perhaps, in the general morning market, early merchants and pedestrians should have come in, but in the Bat Market, the flow of people was extremely sparse, and the streets were empty.

As soon as he entered, Ryan put down the greyhound "Cookie". "Cookie"'s dog eyes regained their previous agility, sniffed with his nose, and began to quickly explore the road ahead.

Soon, one person and one dog came to a store with a sign with stars, sun and moon hanging on the door.

"Woof!" "Cookie" called in a low voice.

After that, it wagged its tail and walked back and forth in front of the closed store.

Obviously, this is the place where "Cookie" identified Adams as having stayed before.

Ryan raised his eyebrows and showed joy.

He tracked all the way from Shining Gold Town to the county town, and now, he finally found a place where he was suspected to have stayed.

Ryan looked around and found that no one on the street was paying attention to him and Cookie. He then walked around the store and observed carefully.

Soon, he found that one of the windows of the store was half open.

After a little thought, Ryan began to use his newly mastered core skill of the beast tamer, "Eye of the Beast".

The next second, Ryan's vision switched to "Cookie".

Cookie took a running start and jumped in from the window about 1.5 meters high.

After a while, a male voice came from inside: "Where did the stray dog ​​come from!"

Soon, "Cookie" jumped out of the window again.

At this time, Ryan also ended the skill "Eye of the Beast" and smiled.

"There is only one adult male inside, who is very weak. He seems to be Adams' servant. Of course, he may just be an ordinary employee who helps to watch the store."

"It should be easier to solve."

So Ryan stepped forward and knocked on the door.

"Knock, knock, knock!"

At this time, the person inside asked cautiously, "Who's outside?"

"It's not business hours yet, the fortune teller is not here." The other party explained again.

Fortune teller?

It seems that this is most likely a fake identity used by Adams to cover up.

Not opening the door?

Ryan raised his right hand wearing a plate armor glove and hit the wooden door hard!

"Pah!"

Wood chips shattered!

Ryan chose to break in directly.

A basin-sized hole suddenly appeared on the wooden door of the shop. Ryan pulled the bolt on his own, pushed the door open and walked in.

"Who are you?" A man in his twenties inside saw Ryan, who was so powerful in knight armor, and couldn't help but step back repeatedly, asking with some fear.

"As Adams' accomplice, you are arrested!" Ryan said loudly.

"Adams?"

"Sir, are you mistaken? We don't have this person here." The young man answered with a confused look on his face.

"Do you know this?" Ryan took out the cane from Adams from his back.

The white finger bones, Adams may not have shown it, but Ryan felt that Adams would not hide this unprepossessing cane.

Sure enough!

"The boss's cane?" The young man's eyes suddenly widened twice, as if he thought of something, and said in a lost voice.

"Your boss's real name is Adams, a wanted criminal of the Empire. Do you have anything else to say now?"

"Sir, I am innocent!"

"I just joined this fortune-telling shop last month. I didn't even know that our boss was a wanted criminal of the Empire." The young man's legs softened and he slowly collapsed against the wall, shouting in disbelief.

"Well, if it is true as you said, you will be released soon."

"Now, please cooperate with my work. I ask you, where is the bedroom of Adams, your boss?" Ryan asked leisurely.

Ten minutes later, Ryan walked out of the fortune-telling shop carrying a large black bag, followed by a dejected young man.

Just as Ryan was about to leave the Bat Market, two hooded black-robed men walked towards Ryan from the front of the street.

Ryan's pupils shrank and his face was stern.

He could feel the active mental power of the two people opposite him.

It seemed that they were not worse than him, that is, the level of a second-level wizard apprentice.

Of course, they could also be higher than him, such as a third-level wizard apprentice, and then deliberately concealed at the level of second level.

"Young man, fighting is not allowed in the Bat Market. If there is any fighting, you need to apply to the market manager." One of the black-robed men said.

"Are you the managers of the Bat Market?"

"I'm here to catch Adams, the wanted criminal of the Empire. I think even the Bat Market cannot shelter wanted criminals, right?" Ryan pointed to the emblem on the chest of his knight's plate armor.

"This." The two black-robed men didn't expect Ryan's answer to be this.

The two looked at each other for a while and said, "Since it is an official of the Empire performing his duties, it is naturally another matter."

Sure enough, it is good to lean on a big tree to enjoy the shade! Ryan thought to himself.

When Ryan walked out of the Bat Market, Matteo, who was waiting at the door, immediately came up to him and heard Matteo say, "My lord, is it going well?"

"Matteo, detain this person and interrogate him about his relationship with Adams later."

Although Ryan was basically sure that the employee in front of him was just an ordinary person, the only difference was that his mental power was a little higher than that of ordinary people, but this situation was relatively common in the Bat Market.

Generally, the shop assistants are young people who are selected from ordinary people and have relatively strong spirits.

"Yes, sir!"

Then, Matteo asked the two elite night watchmen behind him to escort the other party and follow Ryan to return to the town of Shining Gold.

Two hours later, Ryan, who returned home, immediately came to the utility room and put the black package directly on the table.

Ryan's face was delighted, and he waved his hands heavily in the air!

This harvest can be called huge!

After calming down the excitement in his heart, Ryan planned to start counting his harvest this time.

A crystal ball, two witchcraft scrolls, three books written in spiritual text (Akkadian) and a lot of messy materials.

At present, Ryan did not know the effects of these things.

Therefore, the first thing Ryan opened was the three books written in spiritual text.

"That's right!"

"He's not a serious person."

"He has a diary!"

"In that case, I should be able to roughly identify the origins and uses of these things in my hands!" Ryan looked at the book he was holding and smiled.
