Chapter 373 Going to the Imperial City to Debt

Renn basically replied to Greenwood with his words intact.

For Greenwood, who always thinks highly of himself, this moment is like a needle piercing his heart.

As a descendant of a noble family from the Imperial City, this is the first time he has encountered such a situation and was taught a lesson by the "country people below".

You know, in the eyes of the people of Tamriel in the Imperial City, other provinces are all "countryside". Many ordinary people in the Imperial City think so. It is conceivable that those descendants of noble families who grew up in the Imperial City since childhood

will think so. If this matter spreads to other descendants of noble families in the Imperial City, he, Greenwood, will become a laughing stock in the circle.

"You" Greenwood's face flushed, glaring at Renn.

If his trembling hands had not told him at this moment that the young man named Renn in front of him was extremely powerful and obviously above him, he would have rushed up with red eyes.

"You are Renn, do you know who I am?" Greenwood suppressed his anger and said in a deep voice.

"I don't know, but I just saw that the person who couldn't even take my punch just now was talking nonsense."

"Too rude! This is Master Greenwood of the Durham family, and also your superior, the Mithril-level Sword Bearer of the Imperial Capital Sword Bearer Headquarters." The butler Owen on the side was just shocked by Ryan's strength, but at this moment, after coming to his senses, he immediately said excitedly.

"You actually attacked your superior! Didn't Admiral Edward of the Munster Branch teach you to respect your superiors?"

Hearing this, Vieri and Neoro on the side couldn't help but frowned and looked at Ryan worriedly.

Indeed, this is a hurdle that cannot be bypassed.

In the Sword Bearer, a violent organization comparable to the army, subordinates must show high respect to their superiors, such as taking the initiative to salute when meeting, etc. This is a rule that everyone must abide by on the surface.

Otherwise, the entire combat system will fall apart.

If subordinates do not listen to their superiors and do not respect their superiors, how can they convey instructions and cooperate in combat?

Although their captain was strong, and from the previous fight, he seemed to be better than Greenwood, but his status was two levels lower than the other party, which was a fatal flaw.

"Evelyn, you should contact Admiral Edward of the branch immediately and ask him to come over." Neoro said softly to Evelyn beside him.

Admiral Edward also took the same Imperial military airship with them to return to Munster. If nothing unexpected happened, he should be in the Sword Bearer Branch.

And the reason why they didn't dare to take the initiative to attack just now was also because of this.

"Yes! I'll go right away." Evelyn nodded heavily.

She understood what Neoro meant. At present, the only person in the entire Munster Province who could suppress the other party in terms of status was Admiral Edward, the head of the branch.

As the head of a provincial Sword Bearer branch, the status is generally assumed to be equivalent to that of a fine gold-level sword bearer.

And according to Admiral Edward's appreciation of his own captain Ryan before, the current situation will at least not get worse.

But just as Evelyn was about to turn around and leave, Ryan suddenly laughed and said,

"A mithril-level sword bearer?"

"Respect from a superior?"

"Haha, sorry, you are even less qualified."

Ryan's words made Greenwood's originally gloomy face suddenly laugh, and said,

"Why, you are so confident of your strength that you ignore your superiors and subordinates? Haha, I will definitely report this to the Sword Bearer Headquarters. Don't think that you will be fine just because someone in the branch is protecting you."

"Master Greenwood, I think the situation is already very clear. There is no need for us to have a war of words with the other party." Owen, the butler of the Duke of Durham, also flashed a cunning look on his gloomy face.

Although the strength of the Ryan in front of him was far beyond his expectations.

But he obviously had a low IQ and dared to go against the world and let a mithril-level sword bearer who was two levels higher than him salute him, a diamond-level sword bearer.

Such a person, no matter how strong he is, is not scary. He can be dealt with by using the rules in a minute.

In Owen's opinion, staying here is a waste of time.

"Just now you said that I ignored the relationship between superiors and subordinates?" Ryan said with a smile.

"That's right!" Greenwood saw Ryan's smiling expression, and for a moment, he had a bad premonition.

"Very good, then I am a fine gold-level sword bearer, and you, a mithril-level sword bearer, shouldn't you salute me first?" Ryan looked at him with a smile.

Hearing this, except for Anna who had already known the content of the official letter, everyone else was stunned.

The whole scene was so loud that you could hear a pin drop!

"Hahaha! This is the least funny joke I have heard this year, you, a fine gold-level sword bearer?" Butler Owen came to his senses and couldn't help laughing.

"Now, you have another charge, openly forging your identity. You all heard it, your captain actually claimed that he was a fine gold-level sword bearer. You are all witnesses. When the time comes, don't lie or cover up." Owen's face was very good, and his mood instantly turned from rainy to sunny.

He didn't expect that things could turn around like this. He originally planned to withdraw to the imperial capital first, report to Duke Drum, and make long-term plans.

As a result, such a thing actually happened. It was really a blessing from the goddess of luck.

On the side, Neoro, Vieri and others all showed worried expressions.

They knew that their captain seemed to be able to be transferred to the Sword Bearer Headquarters before, but when he first went to the headquarters, he was only a Magic Iron-level Sword Bearer, and the Greenwood in front of him was Mithril-level, which was even higher than Magic Iron-level.

Could it be that their captain remembered the level of the Sword Bearers in the headquarters wrongly?

He remembered the Magic Iron-level as the Fine Gold-level?

But this seems impossible.

And Greenwood knew that Ryan's strength was extraordinary because he had just taken a blow from Ryan. Logically, Ryan's strength should not be said.

Therefore, facing Ryan's words, he was still more cautious and said, "You said you are a Fine Gold-level Sword Bearer, then where is your emblem?"

After all, every adamantite sword bearer is a well-known figure in the Sword Bearer Headquarters. Even in the imperial capital of Tamrith, where there are many powerful people, they are not unknown people. However, he has never heard of Ryan's name.

"I haven't had time to exchange the emblem at the headquarters, but according to the document, I have been an adamantite sword bearer since the day it was issued."

"Tsk! I don't even have an emblem, and I still say I am the guardian." The butler Owen on the side was already impatient. In his eyes, Ryan was just stubborn and confronted them.

The purpose, of course, was not to bow down and give in on the spot.

"Ryan is right. Ryan, the heir of the Drum family, has been promoted to an adamantite sword bearer by Marshal Alfred." At this time, Admiral Edward's voice came from the gate of the mansion.

"I have the original official letter here, do you want to see it?"

Admiral Edward strode in with a solemn face, followed by his secretary Colonel Stanley, Olena and several elite guards.

"What! Really!" Hearing Admiral Edward's words, butler Owen was like a drake with its throat pinched, his eyes widened, and he looked like he had seen a ghost.

"How is this possible? He is already a fine gold-level sword holder at such a young age?"

And Greenwood stared at Ryan.

He practiced hard every day, and at the same time, the Durham family also provided him with various rare resources and guidance from many famous teachers, but even so, he was still half a step away from being a fine gold-level sword holder.

Unlike other levels, if the strength is not enough, even if the task evaluation medals and merit points are enough, it is impossible to be promoted to a fine gold-level sword holder.

After all, the fine gold-level sword holder is already the highest level in the sword holder sequence, representing the face of the sword holder organization, and even the face of the empire, and naturally will not allow those who are unqualified to fill the number.

And this 'countryman' in front of him is actually already one?

In an instant, Greenwood felt that his pride, his self-esteem, and his worldview all collapsed!

As for Neoro and the others, they were also shocked at first. Their captain jumped three levels and was directly promoted to the fine gold sword holder? But the next second, everyone was overjoyed!

Obviously, the original flaw has become an advantage at this time.

Now, it is the turn of the guy in front of him to have a headache.

"Admiral." Ryan smiled at Admiral Edward and bowed.

Then, he said to Greenwood: "Now, tell me what should I do if someone breaks into my mansion and injures my people?"

"This." For a moment, even Owen, the most eloquent butler, was speechless.

After all, Greenwood was the first to injure someone, which everyone saw.

Moreover, it was completely different from what was expected before.

If Ryan's identity was not so difficult, such a small matter as beating someone would be easy to deal with.

It's like a marquis going to a viscount's mansion and beating a servant, which is a small matter that can't be any smaller.

But now it's different.

Now it's equivalent to the marquis rushing into the duke's mansion and beating the duke's people.

I ask, which duke is willing to let it go?

If we let it go, where is the Duke's dignity?

Greenwood not only hated Ryan at this moment, but also felt quite unhappy with the butler Owen.

How did this guy do his investigation? There was such a big mistake.

It's like, the other party is obviously a tiger, but the investigation data says it's a kitten.

You have to know that this is a fine gold sword holder!

Not just a cat or a dog, even the Duke has to look at it squarely.

"I'm sorry, Lord Ryan!" After a slight hesitation, Greenwood blushed and bowed quickly, and was about to turn around and leave.

"Wait, it's one thing to apologize for being rude, but you want to leave just like that after you injured my people?"

"Either pay compensation, or if you can take my blow, this matter will be over." Ryan knew that since Admiral Edward was coming, he couldn't kill Greenwood on the spot this time.

In fact, because of the other party's identity as a mithril sword holder, it was not appropriate to seriously injure Greenwood in front of Admiral Edward.

After all, Admiral Edward had always admired him, and he didn't want to embarrass him because of this matter.

"You" Greenwood felt that he had never been insulted like this.

Not only had the injury of Ryan's subordinate been healed by the elf girl, but the other party's status was even worse than his. He actually wanted compensation?

"Mr. Ryan, how much compensation do you want?" Owen, the butler at the side, asked with a straight face.

"I heard that the Durham family is a major shareholder in the Minster branch of the Axon Auction House, so why don't you transfer 10% of the shares."

"What! 10% shares!" Even if it is 10% of the shares of the Minster provincial branch, it is not a small amount. The annual dividend is as high as 100,000 gold.

Owen stared at Ryan with his eyes wide open!

"Oh, no, I remember that you should be here for the Sam Group this time."

"It just so happens that the Sam Group intended to kidnap Anna last time. If this matter is taken into account, I think that all the shares of the Durham family in the Munster branch must be taken out as compensation, which is barely enough." Ryan said with a smile.

After hearing this, Owen was no longer able to refute anything.

Because he was completely speechless by Ryan's big mouth.

At this time, whether in the eyes of the butler Owen or Greenwood, Ryan had no sincerity and was obviously making things difficult for them.

However, when things came to the current point, Greenwood, as a quasi-legendary master, calmed down instead.

He carefully sensed Ryan's strength and found that the other party did not seem to have reached the legendary level.

Because the other party did not have the glorious will pressure of the title knight, nor the majestic aura of the third-level crystal wizard, this made Greenwood have a flash of an idea.

This shows that the opponent's attack just now was most likely to have used some kind of boxing secret.

In addition, considering that the opponent has just been promoted to the adamantium-level sword holder, the opponent's strength is very likely to have just entered the legendary level.

In other words, the difference in strength between him and Ryan in front of him should not be that big.

After figuring this out, Greenwood suppressed his anger and looked at Ryan and said, "Sir Ryan, you just said that I couldn't even take a single blow. I really want to try."

"Oh, it seems that you chose to take my blow?"

"That's right."

"Clang!" Greenwood drew out the knight's longsword from his waist.

"Master Greenwood has been practicing sword skills with Sword Saint Leon for many years. Holding a sword in hand and being empty-handed are completely two different concepts." Butler Owen saw Greenwood draw out the knight's longsword at this time, and he couldn't help but regain his confidence in his heart.

Although Ryan's punch just now was extremely amazing, Owen believed that no matter how strong Ryan was, he would not be much stronger than Greenwood.

It is almost impossible to win with one blow.

Sword Saint Leon?

Hearing this name, Admiral Edward couldn't help but frown.

As an admiral of the Empire, he naturally knew that there were only seven people in the Empire with the title of Sword Saint, all of whom were strong men at the level of the Empire's Guardians.

The Sword Saint Leon, also known as the Tide Sword Saint, practiced swordsmanship in the sea and was promoted to Sword Saint. Even among the seven great Sword Saints, his strength was ranked third. He had many disciples and was not easy to mess with.

As for Vieri and others, their faces changed when they heard the word Sword Saint. Although they were not as clear as Admiral Edward, they knew what being called a Sword Saint meant.

"Since I'm ready, I'm going to do it." Ryan smiled slightly, and his attitude did not change at all because of the butler Owen's mention of the Sword Saint.

The next second, his lips opened slightly!

"Metal Transfiguration!"

"Cutting Net!"

"Sharpness!"

Three closely arranged metal nets suddenly appeared in front of him, and in an instant, the metal nets lit up with silver light.

"Witchcraft Killer Move: Multiple Cutting Nets!"

As Ryan waved his right hand heavily, three giant metal nets flashing with rich silver light attacked Greenwood!

The rich witchcraft aura made Greenwood stunned.

He never thought that Ryan, who had just used some top-level boxing secrets to repel him, was actually a rare metal wizard.

Moreover, what did the other party say just now, witchcraft killer move? !

Fuck!

Rare metal witchcraft actually has witchcraft killer moves!

Even in the Sword Bearer Headquarters, he had never heard of it.

The butler Owen on the side also had his eyes wide open and exclaimed: "You are not a knight, you are actually a wizard!"

Admiral Edward was also slightly stunned when he saw this scene. After all, this was quite different from Ryan's previous fighting style.

Before, Ryan relied on metal deformation to quickly transform various weapons, and then used a variety of extraordinary combat skills to fight the enemy.

Although there was witchcraft, it was actually relying on various secrets to fight, but this time it was different. The witchcraft killer move that Ryan used was completely powerful at the legendary level.

It can be said that this is the fighting method of a real wizard.

The same thought flashed through the minds of Neoro and others who were standing by. They couldn't understand why their captain's fighting style suddenly changed.

In fact, they still underestimated Ryan.

Ryan's dragon-man transformation was obtained after he killed the corrupt dragon Agnes. After that, he went to the tundra and entered the second form during the first battle with Corasius.

Therefore, except for Anna, everyone present didn't know that Ryan actually had a more powerful killer in the form of a dragon-man general.

In this moment of distraction, three huge silver nets had already arrived in front of Greenwood.

"The secret of swordsmanship, the wind-breaking cross slash!" Greenwood mobilized all his original force and fully poured the ray of will light he had comprehended into the knight's long sword in his hand.

As he swung it continuously like lightning, a sword light several meters long and crossed appeared in front of him, and immediately collided with the attacking silver net.

"Swish!"

In Greenwood's shocked eyes, he found that his first sword beam was unable to resist the cutting of the first silver giant net and collapsed directly. It was not

until the second sword beam that it barely offset the first silver giant net.

But the problem was that there were two more giant nets left, which had already followed and were close at hand.

In an instant, the extremely sharp knight's sword in his hand was cut into small pieces inch by inch, and then his right hand wearing a plate armor glove was cut into small pieces.

"Ah!!" Greenwood screamed.

The fingers of his right hand holding the sword had been cut off by his palm!

"Stop! We'll pay!" Butler Owen was horrified when he saw this scene and shouted.

If Greenwood, the heir of the Durham family, died here, he would be in trouble even if he was trusted by the Duke. After returning, he would most likely die.

The reason was simple. He was in charge of the investigation of Ryan's situation.

Because he misjudged Ryan's strength, he led to the death of Greenwood, a heir of the family. He must die.

If Greenwood was only injured now, he would recover soon after returning to the imperial capital for witchcraft treatment, and the problem would not be too big.

"Ryan!" Admiral Edward also shouted with a worried look on his face.

Greenwood's identity was too sensitive. He was not only a mithril-level sword bearer in the sword bearer headquarters, but also had a certain relationship with the imperial guardian like Leon Sword Saint.

He was not worried about himself, but Ryan was going to the imperial capital soon. It would not be a good thing to kill Greenwood now.

The sharp metal cutting net stopped a few centimeters away from Greenwood's wide eyes.

In an instant, the feeling of being pulled back from hell made Greenwood, a well-trained Mithril-level swordsman, sweat beads suddenly appear on his forehead, and then he began to breathe heavily.

"The Durham family is willing to transfer all the shares of the Minster branch of the Axon Auction House to Lord Ryan."

"Are you sure?"

"Of course, thank you Lord Ryan for showing mercy. However, the transfer of shares ultimately requires the consent of the Duke, so I need a few days to report back to the imperial capital before the transfer can be carried out." The butler Owen, who was frightened and sweating, said immediately.

"Okay!" Ryan nodded and said.

Soon, Owen helped Greenwood away in a hurry, without any of his previous arrogance.

"Captain, will they really transfer the shares to you honestly? I see that the butler has a cunning look in his eyes, and he is not a good person." Neoro frowned and said.

After Neoro was promoted to a wizard, his perception became much sharper. He just felt that the other party seemed to agree too readily.

"Wouldn't it be better if it wasn't transferred? I'm going to the imperial capital soon. Then I can go to the Durham family to collect the debt. My interest is very high." Ryan smiled and said.

In fact, Ryan didn't say one more thing. That is, he felt that the disappearance of Anna's mother seemed to be related to the Durham family. He got some evidence of this from the last time from Sam's group.

This time, he kept such a backhand, partly because he could legitimately find the Durham family.

After all, the imperial capital Tamriel is full of strong people. It is very important to have a legitimate reason.

"Huh?" Neoro and others looked at their captain in surprise.

Go to the imperial capital Tamriel to collect the debt from the Duke's family!

In the whole province of Munster, if someone else said this, they would definitely say that this person is crazy.

But facing their captain Ryan, who has created too many miracles, they couldn't say any doubts.

After all, past experience has taught them that no matter how powerful the enemy is, they are all paper tigers in front of their captain.

At this time, Admiral Edward stepped forward, sighed, and said, "Alas! Ryan, the Drum family is a wealthy family even in the imperial capital, and their power is intertwined."

"You this time..." Admiral Edward hesitated.

"Forget it, let's not talk about this, but, Ryan, I didn't expect you to make such a big fuss in the Howling Tundra in just half a month!" Admiral Edward couldn't help but said with a smile.

Hearing this, Evelyn and the others looked at Ryan curiously. They also wanted to know what earth-shattering things Ryan had done in the Howling Tundra.

Why is it that after not seeing their captain for half a month, it's like a different person.

Not only has his level been upgraded three times in a row, but even his fighting style has changed dramatically.
