"The Hall Necklace was once the treasure that propelled my Grey Family to prominence. It disappeared after the death of the previous Grey Family Master. I never expected that old dog Kui Qi would obtain it."
When talking about the hall necklace, Ford's eyes were hot, but then he thought about the current situation, and the heat in his eyes gradually dimmed.
Now that Ryan was in a bad condition due to the chain repair, accepting this declaration of war would be a sheer embarrassment.
It seems I have to make other plans for the hall necklace.
After listening to Ford's explanation of the hall necklace, Ryan became more and more interested in the hall necklace, which was once the family treasure of the Gray family.
"Did the Kuili family use it themselves after obtaining it?" Ryan was a little confused.
"Use? What use does he have? Without the direct bloodline of the Grey family, he has no use at all." Ford curled his lips.
Ford's words immediately made Ryan nod his head in understanding. It turned out that there were conditions for its use.
Then Ryan thought for a moment and put the declaration of war on the table into his magic ring.
Ryan walked to the door and opened it, "I'm leaving. I'm going to school."
…
Drake drove the carriage with two teams of knights and slowly left the family and headed towards the academy.
As soon as he arrived at the entrance of the academy, Ryan heard the discussions of the students at the entrance.
"I heard Bernd is challenging Ryan to a duel right now, and the stakes are high."
"Really? The Grey and Kuei families are fighting again?"
"Yeah, I heard Bernd declared war on Ryan last night. I heard from my father that he was betting ten spots in the secret realm."
"What!? Ten? That many?"
Listening to the whispers of the crowd, Ryan ignored them and went straight into the academy.
After entering the academy, Ryan quickly arrived at the top floor of the Magician's Tower, the laboratory of Dean Cliff.
As usual, Ryan pushed the door open without knocking.
"Dean, I'm here."
Cliff adjusted his glasses and looked at Ryan, then put down the book in his hand.
"Oh Ryan, you're here."
"I searched through all the books in the academy last night, and I didn't find any record of a situation like yours."
Regarding Ryan's current condition, Cliff, who had returned from the Magicians' Association a few days ago, had already given Ryan several physical examinations.
But not surprisingly, all indicators of Ryan's body were normal.
Even Cliff, who had lived for such a long time, had never seen such a strange "mistake" in repairing the chain as Ryan.
Ryan smiled at this, "It's okay, Dean, I think I'm almost done with it myself."
Ryan walked to the table nearby and poured two cups of hot tea.
Hand one of the cups to the dean.
The dean took a sip and said, "How about I take you to the Elf Forest? They should know what's going on with you."
"I have a good relationship with the Elf Queen. She should be able to offer a solution."
When Ryan heard the words "Elf Forest", his eyes revealed a strong interest, but then it disappeared.
"No need, Dean. Give me another half month. If I'm still like this, it won't be too late for you to take me to the Elf Forest."
The dean nodded slowly, "Okay, then I'll wait for you for another half a month."
Then the dean began to examine Ryan in all aspects.
…
At noon, Ryan slowly walked out of the magician's tower.
As soon as I walked out, I saw Bernd surrounded by a group of people, bragging arrogantly.
Bernd stopped talking when he saw Ryan walking out of the magician's tower.
"Hey, isn't this our academy's fallen rising star, Ryan?"
"You should have received my challenge letter, right? Why haven't you responded all morning? Are you scared?"
"Respond? Everyone in the academy knows that something went wrong with my chain repair. Why should I respond now? I'll play with you again when I recover."
After hearing what Ryan said, Bernd frowned.
He came to challenge Ryan just because he saw that something went wrong while repairing the chain. If he waited until Ryan recovered, he would be in trouble if he used the Sword of Judgment on him.
"If you don't dare, just say you don't dare. Didn't you, Ryan, claim to be the one who would carry forward magic? Now you can't even accept this small challenge from me. What are you promoting?"
Bernd's words were full of disdain, hoping to use provocation to get Ryan to accept the challenge.
But Ryan seemed to have sensed Bernd's intention. He glanced at Bernd and ignored him, then walked towards the academy gate.
He remained indifferent even though Bernd kept mocking him behind his back.
…
After returning to his family, Ryan sat at his desk and continued to look at Bernd's recent information in his hand.
Bernd, a first-level assassin.
He practiced the poisonous Feather Snake Breathing Technique. This breathing technique imbued Bernd's fighting spirit with Feather Snake venom. A short-term poisoning would paralyze the nerves, while a prolonged poisoning could quickly lead to death...
After reading Bernd's information, Ryan also understood why Bernd was such a challenge target.
First, Bernd is an assassin who is naturally antagonistic to the magician Kru.
The second is that Bernd's strength at the primary level is just within the range of selection.
Ryan had already known Bernd's fighting style, and this time Bernd was still wearing the mark of the ancient book.
That's exactly what he wanted Bernd to do to help him solve the ancient book challenge.
After all, Ryan, who possesses the ancient book, is not afraid of an assassin like Bernd who uses poison.
Ryan pondered in his heart, but at least he needed to put forward some conditions.
For example... prohibiting equipment such as magic stone equipment and tools that are extremely disadvantageous to magicians.
After all, things are not like before, when magic power can be unleashed fearlessly.
Ryan stood up and walked to the window, looking at the afterglow of the sunset, with a slight smile on his face.
Now he has made it clear whether he should fight or not. It is the Kuili family that should be anxious.
As long as they are anxious, Ryan will naturally put forward some conditions.
"Then... let things ferment for a while."
