Chapter 131 Let him live a little longer! (Two chapters in one)
At this time.
In Jenny's carriage.
With Ryan's poor Akkadian vocabulary, although he only understood the somewhat blurred handwriting on the cover of the book, the general meaning was: "About. Forging."
Yes, just these two words were quickly distinguished by Ryan.
But Ryan has been attracted!
There is no way not to be attracted.
Because this is a book written in spiritual language (Akkadian) and is related to forging.
Don't forget that Ryan has a blacksmith professional panel.
Therefore, any method or technique that may quickly improve his blacksmith professional level is of great significance to him. It can be said that it is equivalent to the existence of extraordinary combat skills.
Moreover, this is a book about forging written in Akkadian. Perhaps there are some unknown mysteries in it.
This made Ryan's mood a little agitated.
So, in the carriage, Ryan asked Jenny about the origin of this book.
"Miss Jenny, did you find this book in the family library?"
"Yes, Lord Ryan, I was free these two days and found it by accident in the library."
"This book seems to have not been read for a long time. When I found it, it was covered with dust and placed in the bottom corner of the bookshelf."
Jenny looked at Ryan with her bright eyes. She could see that Ryan was very interested in this book, so she said a few more words appropriately.
Of course, she also described it a little exaggeratedly.
In fact, this book was placed in the most precious ancient book shelf of the Crowley family.
When her father, Baron Crowley, was alive, he attached great importance to these rare ancient books, but Jenny had no chance to touch them at that time.
Now, naturally, no one can take care of her.
In addition, this is also the last book about spiritual texts that she can find in the family library.
As for why she said that? Of
course, it is to highlight the family's heritage, so that Ryan, the guardian knight, can pay more attention to the Crowley family and her!
After listening to this, Ryan's eyes lit up slightly, and he thought to himself, can I just flip through it casually?
Tsk tsk!
The family background of the hereditary nobles is really amazing!
In this case , at
the same time, Ryan also had an idea in his mind.
I only heard Ryan say: "This. Miss Jenny. If you have time, can you organize the family's library well? If there are similar books, please remember to let me borrow them, okay?"
Jenny was a little confused when she heard it!
Just now, she was just a little exaggerated, wanting to highlight the strength and background of the family, so that Ryan, the guardian knight, could pay more attention to her and her family.
I didn't expect that Lord Ryan would suddenly make such a request.
Is this request excessive?
Of course not!
Jenny's brain quickly started to work, and in an instant, a flash of inspiration flashed through her!
Yes! Although her own family is gone, she has her best friends.
If it really doesn't work, she will mobilize her best friends to help find it. She doesn't believe that in such a big county city of Mayest County, she can't find a few spiritual books!
So, Jenny said confidently: "Of course, no problem!"
"Miss Jenny, thank you so much!"
Soon, several people took the carriage and arrived at the door of Ryan's house smoothly.
When Ryan helped his mother Emma get off the carriage, the door of the house was suddenly opened, and old Ryan and Mint ran out quickly, with a mixture of anxiety and happiness on their faces.
"Sir Ryan, then I won't go in and disturb you!" Seeing this situation, Jenny naturally wouldn't disturb them.
Ryan guessed that what happened in the church should have spread in Shining Gold Town half an hour ago.
Shining Gold Town is not big, so this kind of thing will naturally spread quickly.
Even old Ryan, who went to work on the farm early in the morning, has rushed back home at this moment.
"Emma, are you okay?"
"Mom!" Mint rushed into his mother Emma's arms.
After a talk, the family's mood finally calmed down a lot.
After Ryan comforted his father and Mint on the side, he went upstairs.
After taking off the tattered knight's plate armor and wiping his body a little, Ryan changed into a linen tunic.
Then, he began to look through the other two spiritual books, looking up the words on the cover of the book to find out what they meant.
After all, the feeling of knowing only half of something is the most irritating.
It's like a woman, 'holding the lute half-covered' is the most provocative.
When Ryan spent more than ten minutes translating the title of the book, he was immediately delighted.
It turned out that the title of the old book meant the following: "Exploration of the Application of Burning Touch in the Field of Forging"
However, Ryan still had a question in his mind, that is, what exactly does this 'burning touch' mean?
Is it some kind of witchcraft? Or a special wonder, or some kind of technology?
Before Ryan could turn to the next page to study, "dong dong dong", a knock on the door sounded.
Mint's childish voice shouted: "Brother, someone is coming downstairs, looking for you."
"Okay, Mint, I'll be right there."
Obviously, there had just been an attack in Goldshire, and Ryan, as the deputy sheriff, still had a lot of things to deal with, so this was not a good time to do research.
Ryan went downstairs and saw a colleague of the Night Watch. He only heard him report: "Lord Ryan, several nobles have come to the church, including Knight Lloyd, and they all want to invite you over."
"Okay, we'll go over now."
However, Ryan thought about it and changed his clothes, changing his linen tunic into the plate armor he had worn before.
Although he has the extraordinary characteristic of "iron skin", it would obviously be safer if there was another layer of protection outside.
After all, whenever you can "stack armor", you naturally have to stack more!
When Ryan returned to the church again, he saw several people wearing knight armor, among whom Knight Lloyd and Perez swordsmanship instructor were "old acquaintances".
Well, Ryan was familiar with these two people, but they were not familiar with him. After all, Ryan's original level was still too low to reach them!
The beautiful Baroness Crowley in the carriage lifted the curtain, nodded to Ryan who was walking over, and smiled slightly.
Among the people at the scene, the only person Ryan didn't know was a middle-aged man with a beard.
"Knight Lloyd, Perez's swordsmanship instructor, I am Ryan. Excuse me, who is this?"
"This is Baron Alonso." Knight Lloyd introduced.
Alonso?
Ryan's pupils shrank suddenly. Wasn't that the mastermind who sent people to attack him last time?
This is him?
At the same time, according to Hamilton's previous introduction, the other party was also Claire's brother.
The eldest son of Count Habsburg!
If Ryan didn't know that the previous incident was done by the other party, he would really be deceived by this "actor" baron.
At this moment, Alonso also looked at Ryan with a "curious" look.
"Good day, Baron!" Ryan bowed slightly and said with a smile.
This action fully demonstrated Ryan's self-cultivation as an 'actor'.
After a brief greeting, Knight Lloyd immediately stated the purpose of asking Ryan to come.
After all, several people really felt that this matter was too absurd and bizarre!
So, Knight Lloyd directly confirmed: "Ryan, did you kill these cultists who have reached the extraordinary level?"
Just now, several of them had checked the bodies on the cart. Judging from the black robes and clothes on the bodies, the other party was indeed a Black Flame Monk.
Moreover, judging from the scars on these bodies, they were all cut in half by someone with an unusually clean and neat knife!
Of course, the angles of the cuts were somewhat different. Some were split in half, and some were split in half diagonally.
But no matter from which angle, the attacks suffered by the other party were very sharp and fierce.
Lloyd thought that he could not do this kind of sword skills and strength, let alone Ryan, who was only a quasi-knight in his impression.
The same question also lingered in the minds of Perez, the swordsmanship instructor, and Alonso.
When they heard Lloyd raise this question, they immediately focused their attention on Ryan.
Ryan nodded and said, "Yes, Knight Lloyd."
Ryan did not intend to hide it, because it was really impossible to hide it.
Hamilton was not here this time, and he was the only extraordinary combat power in the entire Shining Gold Town.
In addition, in addition to his colleagues in the Night Watch who witnessed him killing these Black Flame Monks, many residents of Shining Gold Town who were rescued also saw that scene.
So, it's not that he didn't want to hide it, but he really couldn't hide it!
"Ryan, have you entered the knight?" Perez, the swordsmanship instructor on the side, couldn't help asking.
Before Ryan could answer this question, Baron Alonso on the side answered it for him: "I know this, Ryan entered the extraordinary some time ago!"
A few days ago, he sent his butler Michel to communicate with Ryan, and naturally knew that Ryan had entered the extraordinary.
"It's just that everyone seems to have underestimated your strength this time." Alonso looked at Ryan with an inquiring look, and there were many questions in his heart.
Because, even if you enter the extraordinary and become a formal knight, you will most likely fail to deal with the Black Flame Monk.
And for someone like Ryan, who killed four Black Flame Monks in a row,
I'm afraid no one present can say for sure that he can do it!
"Baron, thank you for your compliment." Ryan smiled slightly and said humbly.
Fully uphold the cultivation of an "actor"!
After all, when it's time to be evasive, you still have to be evasive.
At this time, the noisy sound of horse hooves came from not far away, and it seemed that a large group of people were galloping from not far away.
Ryan looked up and saw a group of cavalry suddenly appeared on the road west of the town of Shining Gold, and the leader was Hamilton with an anxious face.
It seems that the messenger sent by the little Matteo before has finally notified them.
It's just that the time seems to be a little late!
The battle has been over for almost an hour! Ryan thought.
"That guy Dor finally notified the adults!" Matteo muttered beside him.
No wonder Matteo complained. In battle, every second counts. Notifying them so late can actually be considered a dereliction of duty.
Knight Lloyd glanced at the cavalryman next to Hamilton and said, "The previous messenger should have been killed. This was notified by the cavalryman I sent."
"Huh?"
Ryan glanced and sure enough, he didn't see the night watchman named Dor, but saw Lagre, who also looked nervous.
The investigation team that set out in the morning has now returned with the original crew!
After Hamilton got off his horse, he greeted Ryan, Lloyd and others with a gloomy face, and immediately checked the situation at the scene.
As the sheriff of Goldshire, he was the first person responsible for defense. After hearing the news that Goldshire was attacked by cultists, he naturally rushed back as soon as possible.
Ryan exchanged a few words with Lagre, and was called aside by Hamilton.
As for the Church, Priest Rudolf and the four Templar Knights decided to return immediately after hearing that the attackers were the cultists.
After all, the evil knights were in the depths of the Night Song Forest, and as a hidden danger, they would not erupt immediately.
The cult that had been stirring recently was a bit of a headache for Monsoon and the Church of the Goddess of the Sea.
Therefore, Priest Rudolf and the Templar Knights followed Hamilton and checked the bodies of the Black Flame Monks on the cart.
"What a sharp swordsmanship!" a Templar Knight exclaimed.
The others nodded one after another. As Templar Knights who had fought before, they naturally knew how difficult it was to split a Black Flame Monk in half!
"Hey! This is Mitri." Priest Rudolf's eyes narrowed immediately.
Although he still had a blank expression on his face, his heart was already in turmoil.
Although he didn't know the other two, he had dealt with Mitri several times before, but he always let him slip away.
The other party was once a wizard apprentice, but later, for some reason, he got involved with the Black Flame Church. It is said that because he is good at a certain "formula", he is also valued by the Black Flame Church's top leaders.
Unexpectedly, the other party died here.
Although he did not believe that the deaths of the three Black Flame monks were all caused by the boy in front of him who still looked a little immature.
But the facts seemed to keep reminding him that this was the only explanation!
In addition, there are so many people watching here, and logically speaking, this matter cannot be faked.
Of course, this matter is obviously a good thing for Monsoon and the Ocean Church. Whether it was killed by Ryan is actually not important.
The important thing is that the Black Flame Church lost four extraordinary people in the Shining Gold Town, which is considered to be a heavy loss and injury!
"Hey! Priest Rudolf, that's not right. There are a total of one, two and six, a total of six and a half corpses, that is, the corpses of three Black Flame monks, then... Where is the corpse of the other one?" A Templar Knight discovered very carefully and said.
At this time, Matteo pointed to a mass of black ash on the square outside the church and said, "Here! The other one is over there."
Several people immediately followed Matteo's line of sight.
There was a large mass of black ash on the ground.
Patriarch Rudolf and several Templar Knights walked over quickly. Although the other party had turned into a mass of black ash, they could still find some clues.
"Patriarch Rudolf, it's human skin armor." A Templar Knight used his long sword to fiddle with the black ash for a few times, picked out a thumb-sized fragment, observed it, and looked up with a surprised face to report to Patriarch Rudolf.
"What! Say it again!" Patriarch Rudolf suddenly showed a trace of surprise.
"Patriarch Rudolf, it's the Apostle's Token." The long sword of another Templar Knight seemed to touch a hard object, cleaned it up, and couldn't help exclaiming.
A diamond-shaped black flame-shaped token appeared in front of everyone.
"This is an apostle!" Priest Rudolf could no longer maintain his calm expression, and looked at the token with a stunned expression.
"Apostle?" The other two Templar Knights also opened their eyes wide and opened their mouths.
The exclamations of the church members, especially the exclamation of Priest Rudolf, who was always calm, immediately attracted the attention of the other people around.
Whether it was Knight Lloyd, swordsmanship instructor Perez or Hamilton, they all turned their heads to look over.
At this time, Baron Alonso seemed to be struck by lightning, and stood there in shock!
He only heard his heart roaring: "What! Another Black Flame Apostle died?"
"You know, this is a Black Flame Apostle!" "
A Black Flame Apostle whose strength is even higher than that of a senior knight!"
Basically, if the peak knight does not appear, the 'Black Flame Apostle' has never been heard of being killed.
At most, the 'Black Flame Apostle' was repelled by the combined efforts of several senior knights!
Although he and the Black Flame Church had a mutually beneficial cooperative relationship, he was not clear about the personnel deployment of the Black Flame Church in a certain operation.
Before, he heard that the four extraordinary people of the Black Flame Church were killed by Ryan, and he was shocked!
But what he didn't expect was that among the four people, there was actually an "apostle" of the Black Flame Church who was killed!
This is really shocking, shocking to the extreme! !
Compared with other people, it is obvious that the church members who believe in gods, Priest Rudolf and the four Templar Knights, understand the value and difficulty of it better.
At this time, Ryan was being pulled by Hamilton and chatting alone.
"Ryan, did you kill these four extraordinary people of the Black Flame Church independently?" Hamilton also looked surprised and asked, looking up and down at his "capable general" in front of him.
Although he had overestimated Ryan's combat effectiveness as much as possible, the scene in front of him still shocked him to pieces!
After meeting the messenger sent by Knight Lloyd, Hamilton's eyes almost went dark when he heard the news!
In his heart, on the one hand, he was worried that Ryan might have met with an accident, and on the other hand, he would be held accountable for such a major security incident in Shining Gold Town, and perhaps he might even be stripped of his noble title.
At that time, he immediately glanced at the county sheriff, Viscount Hamady, but from the other's shocked expression, Hamilton couldn't tell whether the county sheriff really didn't know or was deliberately covering it up!
However, when he rushed to Shining Gold Town, the situation took a turn for the better!
He didn't expect that he, who was bound to be held accountable, might actually turn a disaster into a blessing!
'Shining Gold Town was attacked by cultists, and Sheriff Hamilton flattered them and left his post without permission, resulting in heavy casualties among the residents of Shining Gold Town! '
"Under the command of Sheriff Hamilton, the town of Goldfinch deliberately showed weakness to the enemy, luring them into a trap and completely annihilating a large number of cultists led by four extraordinary people. Although there were some casualties, the arrogance of the cult was severely hit!"
The difference between the two official reports is so great that it is needless to elaborate!
And the key person in this is Ryan!
"Mr. Hamilton, it was indeed me who killed him. Of course, this was also inseparable from the assistance of my colleagues in the Night Watch!" When Ryan said this, he also pointed to Matteo and others on the side.
This made Matteo and other Night Watchmen feel as sweet as eating honey!
Look! This is a good boss of the Dragun Empire!
Never take the credit!
Instead, he divides the credit among them!
"In addition, my giant bear swordsmanship suddenly has some understanding, and it seems to have been elevated to a different level." Ryan certainly would not expose his true strength.
Instead, he picked out what he could say and expose, and talked about it a little.
However, Ryan really did not lie, because he was telling the truth.
Since the Giant Bear Swordsmanship entered level 6, he felt a clear difference compared to before.
Hamilton had a vague guess in his heart. Could it be that
this made him raise his eyebrows and said with a little curiosity: "Oh? Ryan, then why don't you practice it now and let me see."
"Okay!"
Ryan just wanted to show his improvement in swordsmanship.
As for whether he could make everyone believe that he relied on his swordsmanship talent to solve these four cult extraordinary people, that was another matter.
But at least, he could give them a reason, a lead, to make others believe that he could kill these four people.
Otherwise, if they were allowed to make random guesses, or even send people to secretly observe or monitor him afterwards, that would be passive!
Hearing that Ryan was going to show his swordsmanship, whether it was Viscount Hamadi, Baron Alonso, or Lloyd or Perez and other nobles, they all turned their eyes.
And the priest Rudolf and the Templars who wanted to enter the church to check the situation also stopped, stopped and turned to watch.
After all, after learning that three Black Flame believers and one Black Flame apostle were killed by Ryan, the young knight, the curiosity of almost everyone at the scene was aroused!
In addition, the beautiful Baroness Crowley also walked down from the carriage with Jenny.
Everyone almost formed a big circle, concentrating on watching Ryan who pulled out the glimmering giant sword.
"Hey! It's a pyroxene weapon!" Priest Rudolf whispered softly.
He didn't expect that the young man in front of him would bring him surprises one after another.
Pyroxene weapons are not so easy to find. Either you buy them from the auction house at a high price, or you have to rely on personal opportunities.
Of course, the church has holy weapons that can achieve the same effect as pyroxene weapons, so there is no need to spend money to buy pyroxene weapons.
Ryan saw so many people watching, and he didn't feel nervous.
After all, he was just planning to show his strength, and it was just right to expose the "tip of the iceberg" at this time!
And the giant bear swordsmanship is a very good tip.
Ryan stood in the middle of the field, posing the opening move of the Giant Bear Sword Technique.
A quarter of an hour ago.
East of the town of Shining Gold.
On the Black Sail Pirates side, Phil, who was carrying an exaggerated bow, thought for a moment, then turned to a bearded pirate beside him and said, "Andre, send two smarter ones to scout the town!"
"Yes, boss!" The bearded man said in a muffled voice.
Obviously, it was Phil Kratz, the deputy leader of the Black Sail Pirates, who issued the order to let seventy or eighty bloody rough men turn around and leave without firing a shot, which would be very damaging to morale.
Therefore, Phil decided to send a few people to scout and see the situation in the town.
As long as the defense of Shining Gold was weak, he planned to do it without any signal!
Otherwise, the brothers under him would definitely have a lot of complaints, and in that case, it would be difficult to lead the team in the future.
After all, most pirates have their heads hanging on their belts, and they will listen to whoever can make them rich!
Relying on one's own force to suppress is the worst strategy, and the people under their command may run away to other pirate groups in a moment.
Soon, two pirates who were relatively short and looked like civilians after a little dressing were selected by the bearded man.
The two of them walked quickly and rushed to the town of Shining Gold to perform the detection mission.
Seven or eight minutes later, the two pirate scouts arrived in the town of Shining Gold.
At first, hearing the crying sounds in the town of Shining Gold, the two pirates' eyes lit up and their hearts were ecstatic.
Hey!
It seems that they have just been attacked!
Moreover, there seems to be not much defense force on the street. At least they can't see many security guards.
So, after a short walk, the two planned to return and report immediately.
However, just as the two turned around and prepared to leave, they suddenly heard the dense sound of horse hooves and the slight vibration of the ground under their feet.
The two immediately turned their heads and saw that at the end of the street, on the west side of the town of Shining Gold, a large group of cavalrymen were galloping towards the town.
The two sharp-eyed people immediately saw that there were many knights in full plate armor in the team, and even saw the unique-looking church Templar Knights.
In an instant, cold sweat broke out on their foreheads.
Damn it, if the other party came one minute later, they would have reported the news that "the defense is weak and can be attacked!"
After that, it was unknown how many people in their pirate group would survive, but the two of them would definitely not survive!
Because even if they survived, they would probably be killed by Boss Phil.
"Go! Report quickly! This is a trap!"
"Damn it, no wonder those grandsons didn't even give a signal, they ran away long ago!"
The two pirate scouts complained and returned to the secret valley at a fast pace.
After hearing the description of the two, the Black Sail Pirates also felt a shudder, it turned out to be a trap!
At the same time, they also knew that today's hand was unlikely to succeed.
Although they put their heads on their belts, they were not brainless. It was obvious that the other party had opened their pockets and was waiting for them, so how could they rush up stupidly.
Such stupid pirates had already died!
"Return!" Phil's eyes flickered, and after a little thought, he raised his arm and waved, signaling his men to retreat.
He and the two minions responsible for gathering information had different ideas.
Phil thought that the Black Flame Church was quite reliable. At least they didn't cheat them! Even though they knew it was impossible, they didn't randomly fire flares and let the Black Sail Pirates resist the thunder!
Well, we can continue to cooperate with the Black Flame Church next time.
But
the little thing I promised Baron Norman couldn't be done this time.
Forget it, let the kid with the strength of a quasi-knight live a little longer.
What a lucky guy!
