"Long time no see, Ryan. It's been so many years since we last met. The kid who was not even as tall as my knees has now grown into a big man."
Archer sighed as he looked at the three fifth-level figures behind Ryan.
According to the description the Knight Commander had just given him, these people were helping to defend the city under Ryan's orders.
Looking at the positions of several people now, it means that they are all Ryan's confidants, and not people sent by the Gray family to protect Ryan.
At such a young age, he already has three loyal fifth-level followers. What will his future hold?
Archer's evaluation of Ryan improved again.
Listening to Archer's words, Ryan smiled.
"Thank you, Uncle Archer. I am also a noble of the Empire. It is only natural for me to take action when faced with such a situation."
Then Ryan frowned slightly, with some doubt in his tone.
"I arrived at Amethyst City this evening and saw the guards leaving the city. I also made some inquiries. The order for the guards to leave the city was given by... you?"
Upon hearing this, Archer's face turned pale, but he still suppressed his anger and shook his head.
"No, how could I possibly give such a stupid order? I'm not afraid of you laughing at me, Ryan. It's a traitor in my Morris family."
"The handwriting on the secret letter that was passed on was the same as mine, and it also had my personal mark on it, so it was difficult to decipher. It's understandable that Barron was deceived."
"But I have now identified a few suspects."
Ryan nodded.
So that's it, there is a traitor.
Then Archer sat with Ryan on the dilapidated city wall and looked at the stars in the night sky.
"I heard that you and Ao Chen have a good relationship in the Royal City. It seems that it was a wise decision for me to give the Royal City to Ao Chen."
Archer took out a cigar from his magic device, lit it and started smoking, then took out another one and gave it to Ryan.
Seeing Ryan refuse, Archer didn't force it. He took a puff of the cigar in his hand and spoke.
"By the way, I heard that you were imprisoned by the Emperor after killing a nobleman from the Imperial City. How did you suddenly appear in my Purple Gem City?"
Facing Archer's question, Ryan turned to look at Archer.
"I have something to do, and I have run away secretly. Don't worry, Uncle Archer, my father and His Majesty know it."
Archer was stunned for a moment, then he understood what was going on and laughed.
"Haha, it's because of those stubborn old men in the Empire. Haha, I was really troubled by them back then too."
"Oh, by the way, do you want me to help you block your relationship in Purple Sapphire City?"
Ryan shook his head. "That's not necessary."
Just as Ryan shook his head, he noticed from the corner of his eye that the masked man in the yellow cloak who had just defended the city was standing behind him, standing with Andre and Tally.
Andre and Tali looked at the masked man with puzzled expressions from time to time.
Everyone was puzzled. When did the young master recruit another fifth-level cultivator? How come they didn't know?
Looking at the masked man, Ryan became confused. He thought this man was Archer's backup in the city.
䥍It doesn't seem like that now, so why should we still stand with him?
Although he was confused, after all, the masked man had helped him once, so Ryan didn't say anything.
Then Archer smiled and spoke.
"Uncle Archer, I'm really sorry to bother you when I come to Purple Sapphire City this time."
Upon hearing this, Archer immediately became unhappy.
"What trouble? Ryan, you've helped me so much and I haven't had time to thank you yet. Anyway, as long as we're in Purple Sapphire City, you can do whatever you want."
"From now on, Ryan, you are the best friend of my Morris family, and the Gray family as well. If you have any questions, please let me know."
Hearing this, Ryan touched his head and spoke with a smile. He did not talk about Greta's life, but about the life of the rock element.
"Has Uncle Archer ever heard of rock elemental life?"
"Rock elemental life? Where did you get this information, Ryan?"
Archer raised an eyebrow, then glanced at Qitla behind Ryan and nodded.
