Chapter 262 Outsourcing? (Two chapters in one)
With Grant's death, the huge ice shield formed by his innate magic began to disintegrate instantly!
Ryan quickly pulled out the hardened golden short spear, but before pulling it out, he had used metal deformation to straighten and shorten the front end of the short spear.
"Plop!"
The sound of a heavy object falling to the ground rang out!
Grant, the 'Ice Messenger', fell on his back on the ground, his eyes wide open, looking at the sky.
Ryan looked around with a calm look.
Although he killed people in the street, no one around dared to look him in the eye.
Instead, the pedestrians who saw this scene, whether ordinary people or knights, saw their eyelids twitching and their mouths dry.
Because the man who was just killed was obviously a formal wizard, and anyone with good eyesight could see that the other party was also a rare ice wizard.
But now, the other party was lying on the ground, with a look of unwillingness to die.
This means that the strength of this young man is even higher than that of the powerful ice wizard, which naturally makes everyone in awe!
Claire's eyes widened at Ryan's clean kill, and she was stunned on the spot!
After a while, she murmured to herself: "It would be great if the family could have such a master."
The one who was originally going to say that the other party seemed to be Ryan's maid Xia Diya,
but she didn't say anything at this moment. Because although the other party looked like Ryan, his strength was too strong, and the strength was not very similar to Ryan. And
Asani, who was not far away, was numb at this
moment! He dared to swear that his little eyes had never opened so wide in his life!
But the body of Grant, the 'Ice Messenger', was placed not far in front of him, and Asani could not refuse this result.
In an instant, he thought of many things!
For example, if this adult died here, it would definitely cause a lot of trouble for their auction house, even though the other party was from the imperial capital.
In fact, when Grant, the 'Ice Messenger', just arrived in Munster, Viscount Fabien had implicitly reminded him at the reception banquet, to the effect that if there was no absolute certainty, it was recommended to take action outside the city.
As a result, Grant said, "Are you teaching me how to do things?", which made him blush.
Now it's good!
Grant, the 'Ice Messenger', is also quite famous in the imperial capital. The sword holder can investigate and find out about the Axon Auction House.
Oh! What's this?
No, I have to report to Viscount Fabien and ask the head office to clean up the mess quickly, such as arranging an undercover identity for Grant. Immediately
, Asani turned around and went back at a faster speed than when he came just now.
At this time, Ryan hung the hardened adamantine short spear in his hand on his knight's arm armor, giving others a feeling that Ryan had already carried a short spear. It
can be used to mislead the enemy tactically, so it can be covered up a little.
In the previous battle, Ryan did not use his best hammer technique, nor did he use the advanced secret technique 'Crushing Hammer'.
Throughout the battle, Ryan basically fought with metal deformation as the core.
Especially at the beginning, Ryan crushed the opponent's ice blade with one hand, which shocked the opponent for a short moment.
Although it was only a moment, when masters fight, being able to seize a moment means taking the initiative!
Ryan could feel that the opponent wanted to suppress him, so he instinctively chose to do the opposite.
In fact, facing the ice wizard, if the melee profession chooses to defend and counterattack, it basically falls into the opponent's attack rhythm, and the powerful witchcraft that follows will follow one after another.
Because the ice system is not the water system.
The low temperature unique to the ice system witchcraft will make people move stiff, and the freezing of the ground will make the melee profession miserable. The rhythm of the battle is completely disrupted, and the level of 10 can't play 60%.
Therefore, facing the attacking ice blade at the beginning, Ryan immediately decided-'Since you plan to let me defend, then I have to attack, and I have to beat you to defend. '
Now it seems that it should be said that it has achieved very good results.
Ryan bent down and picked up the crystal staff that was faintly emitting energy fluctuations. It felt cold in his hand.
It was a beautiful weapon, and it should be very valuable.
Because Ryan killed Grant so quickly, the guards at the entrance of the Sword Bearer Division not far away had just noticed that the battle was over two or three hundred meters away.
When the panicked crowd dispersed, the guards saw clearly that the one who was attacked was actually Lord Ryan who had just walked out of the gate!
He dared to attack and kill the Sword Bearer at the entrance of the Sword Bearer Division. He was so brave!
This immediately made the guards angry and ran over immediately.
"Lord Ryan!"
"Go, contact the sheriff of the administrative district immediately!"
"Protect the scene!"
The guards immediately alerted Ryan and the scene.
Lord Ryan?
Hearing the call in the carriage, Shadiya's eyes suddenly widened. She quickly shook Claire who was lost in thought and said, "Miss! Miss! That's Ryan!"
"Huh?" Claire looked at Shadiya with an expression as if she was looking at a fool.
The opponent was able to kill Grant, the 'Ice Messenger'. This kind of strength is absolutely top-notch among the great knights. How could it be Ryan!
Moreover, Claire just repeatedly and carefully experienced the opponent's response at the beginning and the connection between the three moves, and she felt that it was quite beneficial to her.
She had been thinking about something just now, but after thinking for a long time, she still couldn't figure it out.
That is, if she was not mistaken, Grant, who had cast his innate magic spell "Ice Shield", had clearly defended against the opponent's attack, and Grant also dodged the position of the spear tip by moving sideways, so how could he still be hit in the middle of his forehead!
What's going on?
It's impossible that the short spear would turn, right?
Claire looked at the short spear that Ryan placed on his arm armor, her eyes confused.
Although it was an administrative district, the security guards and the city guards always came a little later. After hearing what the guards of the Sword Bearer Branch said, a Sword Bearer was attacked at the entrance of his branch.
Everyone was immediately filled with righteous indignation, but after seeing the body, including Sheriff Logan, they were silent for a while.
The attacker turned out to be a formal wizard.
The power behind this is not ordinary!
At this time, Melanie, the deputy minister of the Ministry of Assistance and Promotion, who was in the administrative building, came out with a team of guards.
She had just walked out of the administrative building when she heard the movement outside the door.
As she approached, she saw the large pieces of ice fragments on the ground and the corpse in a white robe lying on the ground. Her eyes suddenly shrank, and her eyes changed when she looked at Ryan again.
Although Melanie knew that Ryan was very powerful, she didn't expect that he was so strong!
The other party was obviously a rare ice wizard, but he died in Ryan's hands.
"Sir Ryan, are you not injured? I heard from the guards that you were assassinated just now?"
"Yes, Sir Melanie."
"It's really abominable, Sir Ryan, leave the follow-up matters to me." Melanie noticed the imitation imperial scepter on Ryan's waist and knew that Ryan should have a mission.
"Okay, then trouble Sir Melanie." Ryan thought about it, and did not say that the other party might be from the Yaxon Auction House, but took the crystal short staff and planned to leave.
Because some things are better to let others investigate.
At this time, Ryan suddenly noticed from the corner of his eye that a luxurious carriage was parked not far away.
This carriage seemed to have just been there when he started the battle, and he could sense that the person in the carriage must have observed him before.
However, when Ryan saw the familiar Kali bird emblem on the surface of the carriage, he couldn't help but be a little surprised.
Isn't this the emblem of the Habsburg family?
Why is the Habsburg family's carriage here?
At this time, the head maid Shadiya opened the door of the carriage with excitement and walked down a little hurriedly.
However, the other party seemed a little hesitant, so after getting off the carriage, she didn't come forward, but stared at Ryan.
Head maid Shadiya?
Why is she here?
Ryan was slightly startled, and then took the initiative to walk over.
At this time, Shadiya was much more excited than Ryan, because from the other party's expression, Shadiya could be sure that the other party was Ryan!
It was really Ryan!
She was not wrong!
As for why Ryan's strength had become so strong, she couldn't figure it out, so she didn't think about it anymore.
"Maid Shadiya, why are you here?" Ryan smiled and greeted.
"Baron Ryan, little..." Shadiya was so nervous that her tongue was tied.
Because Ryan's momentum was too strong now.
Ryan came over with the aura of killing a formal wizard, which made Shadiya, an ordinary person, feel nervous when facing Ryan.
At this time, a figure familiar to Ryan and often appeared in his dreams when he was young walked down the carriage again.
This instantly made Ryan's eyes widen, and he couldn't help but blurt out:
"Miss Claire, shouldn't you be in the imperial capital?"
Claire smiled and said, "Ryan, no, I should call you Baron Ryan now. Long time no see!"
"Long time no see!"
Somehow, Ryan thought that his strength was far above the other party, but when facing the goddess in his heart when he was a child servant, he was still a little uncomfortable or a little nervous.
Looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar tall boy in front of her scratching his head with a straightforward look, Claire couldn't help but chuckle.
Suddenly, the plump and tight body trembled with laughter, which was beautiful.
Claire found that although the boy's strength had undergone earth-shaking changes, even she couldn't catch up, his figure was no longer thin, but tall and burly.
But the clear eyes and familiar movements of the boy in front of her seemed to be the boy Ryan in her memory.
"Ryan, it doesn't seem appropriate for us to chat here, how about..." Claire calmed down her emotions, looked around and looked at the eyes that frequently looked at her and Ryan, and said.
"Of course, Miss Claire, how about you go to my place and sit down, it's not far away."
"Okay, Baron Ryan, then please lead the way." Claire smiled lightly.
"Miss Claire, you should still call me by my name, Ryan, just like before."
The three of them did not get on the carriage, but walked towards the nearby villa.
It seemed that they had not seen each other for more than half a year. Although they did not feel strange, for a moment, they did not know where to start.
At this time, Claire seemed to have thought of something, and her face became serious. She said: "Ryan, do you know the origin of the ice wizard you just fought with?"
Ryan nodded.
"He should be sent by the Axon Auction House."
Claire looked at Ryan in surprise. She did not expect Ryan to know the other party's origin.
It seems that there should be some entanglement between the young man in front of him and the Axon Auction House.
"Miss Claire, do you know this ice wizard?"
"Yes, the other party's name is Grant Savage, and he has the title of 'Ice Messenger'."
"I once met this person at the headquarters of the Axon Auction House in the imperial capital."
Claire's words made Ryan raise his eyebrows.
At first, he thought it was a top killer hired by the Axon Auction House from somewhere?
But he didn't expect that the other party was actually a master under the name of the Axon Auction House.
They did this.
However, Ryan immediately thought of something and asked again:
"Miss Claire, during your time in the imperial capital, do you know the background of this Axon Auction House?"
Claire looked at Ryan with approval. Unexpectedly, the young man in front of him realized the key to the problem so quickly.
"The major shareholder of Axon Auction House is Duke Ferdinand, but... It is said that Axon Auction House is supported by the second prince of the empire." Claire revealed a secret.
Hmm?
The second prince of the empire?
"No wonder he is so arrogant." Ryan murmured.
"Yes and no."
"Oh, Miss Claire, is there any other explanation?" Ryan asked curiously.
"Well, in fact, some masters including Grant, the Ice Messenger, actually work for the Axon Auction House, but on the surface, they belong to another independent mercenary group."
"Axon Auction House uses the method of purchasing services to obtain the services of these masters."
"Using this method, the auction can avoid a lot of unnecessary troubles. At the same time, it can also do some more sensitive things." Claire said slowly.
These secrets can only be easily understood in the Imperial Royal Academy, where there are many children of great nobles.
So that's how it is.
Ryan couldn't help but be stunned!
Isn't this the outsourcing he heard most often in his previous life?
Contract workers take the blame when something goes wrong?
Who said that the Dragun Empire is backward?
This point is very advanced!
Seeing Ryan's face turn ugly, Claire couldn't help but laugh and said, "Ryan, things are not as exaggerated as you think. The other party has both witnesses and evidence. It will be difficult for Axon Auction House to explain this time without bleeding."
"It's just that it's more difficult for you to find trouble with Axon Auction House from Grant."
Ryan nodded and said, "Well, thank you Miss Claire for clearing up my doubts."
Since Axon Auction House has a strong background, he naturally won't choose to hold on to it now.
Of course, this also depends on the follow-up of this matter. How will Axon Auction House deal with it? Otherwise
, Ryan and his three people will soon come to the villa.
The beautiful women Jennifer and Jenny are not there, but went out to see a noble mansion that was just about to be sold.
In the living room.
After a few pleasantries, Claire organized her words a little in her mind. She planned to have a serious talk with Ryan about Meister.
At this time, there were hurried footsteps outside the door, and at the same time, a young and crisp female voice said:
"Sir Ryan, I heard that you were attacked. How are you? Are you not injured?"
The beautiful girl who suddenly appeared interrupted what Claire wanted to say.
"Alyosha, why are you here?" Ryan was slightly surprised and stood up.
Claire looked at the big-eyed cute girl who suddenly appeared outside the door, and realized at a glance that she must be from a noble family, and not just an ordinary noble, because the layered tunic she was wearing at the moment had many pure gold applique embroidery.
Judging from the style, it seemed to be the latest model of Menel, a famous women's clothing brand in the empire, and it was expensive.
Claire looked at the beautiful girl in front of her carefully again, and she vaguely had a scholarly sense of wisdom.
Alyosha seemed to be slightly surprised when he saw Claire, but soon he elegantly lifted the hem of his long coat and smiled and performed a lady's salute.
Then, he turned around and took a wooden box from the hand of the attendant beside him, and handed it to Ryan, saying:
"Sir Ryan, this is a special healing potion, which was made by my mentor, the pharmacist Cabrera of the Royal Pharmacist Association."
"This. Miss Alyosha, thank you for your concern."
When Claire heard the name of the pharmacist Cabrera, a flash of lightning flashed through her mind.
She remembered that the person in front of her was the famous genius pharmacist girl from the Royal Pharmacist College. Even in the Imperial Royal College, she had heard her friends mention her.
You know, pharmacy is a subject that requires accumulation over time. In the entire empire, geniuses in pharmacy are actually much rarer than geniuses on the road of knights.
That's right, she remembered that Master Cabrera of the Royal Pharmacist Association accepted a talented pharmacy genius named Alyosha.
Claire also heard that the other party was the daughter of a marquis. Unexpectedly, the other party's attitude towards Ryan was so intimate.
For a moment, Claire felt uncomfortable.
How to say it?
It's like a child has his own toy, but he doesn't play with it much. He has been put aside for a long time. Suddenly one day, the toy is favored by another child and he plays with it with great interest.
This made Claire realize that even if the boy in front of him is still the same boy, the people and things around him are completely different.
At the same time.
Asani rushed into the study on the third floor of the Axon Auction House, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said hurriedly: "My Lord Viscount, it's bad. Lord Grant was killed on the spot by Ryan."
"What?" Viscount Fabien was originally sipping the Yoton black tea leisurely, but at this moment, his right hand trembled and almost dropped the teacup in his hand.
"What are you kidding? Asani! Even if Lord Grant was no match for Ryan, he couldn't have been killed on the spot by Ryan!" Fabien immediately thought of something unreasonable.
"Really! Although I don't know why, Ryan killed Lord Grant, the 'Ice Messenger', on the street. This scene was not only seen by me, but also by a group of people!"
"And, Lord Viscount, you would never have thought! Ryan only used three moves to kill Lord Grant!" Asani said with lingering fear.
"Three moves?" Viscount Fabien was stunned!
The more he talked, the more outrageous it got!
However, what did Asani say just now?
Killing in the street?
That arrogant Grant actually killed an imperial sword bearer on the street!
This idiot!
Is his brain also made of ice?
Viscount Fabien immediately came to his senses after losing his composure.
Now this is where the trouble is. Grant is dead, but the problem is that no matter whether it is the sword bearer or the administrative office, they can be investigated by a little investigation.
"Asani, contact the head office immediately! Report this situation immediately!"
"As you command, Lord Viscount."
Ten minutes later, there was a knock on the door!
"Knock, knock!"
As soon as he opened the door, Viscount Fabien saw the sheriff Logan of the administrative district, who was looking at him seriously. At the same time, there was a capable young woman with a team of guards beside him.
"Viscount Fabien, excuse me!"
"This is Ms. Melanie from the Imperial Sword Bearer Branch. We are investigating an attack."
"Just now, an Imperial Sword Bearer was attacked and killed on the street. Although the attacker has been killed, there are witnesses who saw that the Axon Auction House received this attacker."
Viscount Fabien did not expect the investigation to come so quickly!
He looked at the portrait of the attacker presented by Sheriff Logan, and was silent for a long time before he said, "Mr. Morgan, Ms. Melanie, although we have received this wizard Grant, in fact, I don't know why he did this?"
"I think you two can write to our head office"
-
Meister, Wild Wolf Hills.
A secret place.
A Black Flame monk wearing a black robe with black flames on his sleeves and collar was reporting something to a middle-aged man sitting on a large and luxurious chair.
"Lord Blood Burner, we just got the latest news that Count Habsburg's daughter Claire seems to be about to return to Meister from the imperial capital."
"I think if we can capture her alive, we should be able to use this to threaten the Habsburg family." Black Flame monk said.
"Oh, when will the other party come?" The middle-aged man seemed to be quite interested in this news.
"They should arrive in the next two days. I have arranged people to follow them inside and outside the county city."
"Very good, a good plan, but we need to further investigate the guards around them. We have to succeed in one go and not alert the enemy."
"Forget it, I'll do it myself." The middle-aged man thought for a while and said.
"The old man Habsburg has been seriously injured by Lord Freeman. His daughter came back this time to help the Habsburg family maintain the situation in Meister."
"The cornerstone of the rule of the Dragun Empire is these feudal nobles. Without their constraints, Meister County without the Habsburg family will soon be completely controlled by us."
"Now several sects such as the Limb Removal Cult, the Poseidon Cult and the Secret Snake Cult have tied up a large number of the empire's elite forces in other places. We must seize this opportunity."
