Chapter 434 Shadow Dragon Thief
As the hands of time passed, twenty-four hours passed quickly. The personnel who participated in the secret realm re-examination and the remaining task execution personnel were transferred back to the first floor of the Astrologer's Platform one by one.
The Erida sisters were also teleported to the Astrologer's Platform through the positioning of the thin slice.
"Lord Ryan."
The two slightly restrained women came to the door of Ryan's lounge under the leadership of Tatia.
"You are back? It seems that you are not injured. That's good." Ryan looked at the two women. Except for some traces of battle on their bodies, there were no obvious injuries.
They should have encountered enemies, but they were successfully resolved.
"Well, we encountered two groups of enemies, one of the 'Four Black Flame Knights' of the Black Flame Cult, Kleia, and a legendary strongman of the Plague Cult."
"With the cooperation of Lord Baldwin, we successfully killed Kleia and the legendary strongman of the Plague Cult." Sister Erida briefly narrated.
"Yes, Lord Ryan, the dark plague of the legendary warrior of the Plague Cult is really difficult to deal with, and almost all three of us were infected." Sister Elida seemed to still have some lingering fears.
"Oh? Plague Cult?" Ryan nodded.
This cult organization has a long history. It is said that some famous black death, undead plague and insect plague in the history of the empire are related to this cult organization.
However, the other party is mainly active in the southern provinces of the empire, so Ryan did not encounter much of the other party's personnel when he was in the Münster Province on the coast of the central empire.
"Lord Ryan, your golem has returned one, and there is another one." Major General Tatia came in and said.
"Well, I know." Ryan waved his hand and said with a smile.
The other one actually exploded.
After he was hit by the void dragon into the outside void, he immediately let the golem carrying the black-robed girl start to self-destruct.
Because he knew very well that the three Barnes who were dying had attracted a lot of void beasts. If he left the container of the black-robed girl, the goddess of the underworld, Hela, in the secret realm, a large number of void beasts would be attracted in a few minutes.
Moreover, this process might be very fast. Even if Lambert or the Ereda sisters returned, it would be too late.
Once infected by the black-robed girl, the consequences would be unpredictable and could be disastrous.
Therefore, Ryan made a prompt decision and let the improved Hellfire golem explode.
"By the way, Lord Tatia, this is my elder sister Ereda, and this is my younger sister Ereda. They are now my followers. Please help me solve the legal status of the two of them."
"No problem, Lord Ryan, leave this matter to me, but it may take two or three days and it needs to go through a process." Tatia looked at the charming Ereda sisters, then looked at Ryan, and immediately smiled.
These two are more beautiful than what they saw on the oval stone platform before.
Thinking of Olena, the capable young woman who was transferred from the Munster branch of Ryan, Tatia couldn't help but think a little more.
"Are there any difficulties?" Ryan couldn't help asking when he saw Tatia's slightly meaningful eyes.
"The main reason is that the identities of the two ladies are relatively sensitive, so the processing requires the guarantee of the headquarters, but don't worry, Lord Ryan, it will take no more than three days. I will handle it." Tatia smiled and said.
"Okay, then I'll trouble you, Sir Tatia." Ryan smiled.
However, Tatia's words made the Erida sisters feel uneasy, and they immediately began to communicate telepathically.
"Sister, do you think the Empire will accept us?"
"It shouldn't be a big problem. Look at the way this female major general addresses Lord Ryan and the degree of respect he has. I don't think there is anything to worry about."
"Yeah."
"Actually. If I really have to worry, I'm more worried about the Secret Snake Cult." Sister Erida frowned and said.
"By the way, Lord Ryan, there is one more thing Marshal Alfred asked me to tell you."
"Oh? Please tell me, Lord Tatia."
"You spent a lot of energy to defeat the incarnation of the goddess of the underworld and the void dragon for the benefit of the empire this time, but you failed to complete your dragon language mark task. Although this will affect your re-examination results, you don't have to worry."
"Headquarters will communicate with the assessment committee to ensure that you can participate in the final two-way selection of dragon knights. And your place does not occupy the list of six people selected in this re-examination, so you don't have to worry about causing criticism."
"In addition, once you become a guardian of the empire, you can directly apply to communicate with the dragons that the empire has not yet signed a contract with."
"Thank you, Lord Tatia, please be sure to convey my gratitude to the marshal." Ryan bowed slightly and said.
Originally, Ryan felt a little regretful because he was teleported back early and didn't have time to obtain the dragon language mark of any dragon offspring.
This result is naturally the best.
"Okay, Lord Ryan."
A few minutes later.
Ryan and the Erida sisters got on the luxurious carriage that had been waiting at the door and drove from the Astrologer's Terrace to their own mansion.
However, the carriage had only been driving on St. Paul's Street in the capital for a few minutes when it slowly slowed down.
The little Matteo said from the coachman's seat in the front of the carriage:
"Lord Ryan, the carriage with the royal emblem is parked on the side of the road. The Earl Buchanan who visited you last time is waving and greeting you. It seems that he wants to talk to you. What do you think?"
Ryan thought for a moment and said, "Speed up and leave. Don't worry about him."
He didn't want to be hypocritical with the other party anymore.
Because soon, the other party will know the death of Barnes and the other two in the secret realm, and it can be said that they have completely torn their faces.
"Shhh!"
Suddenly, the carriage braked sharply, and the little Matteo said anxiously and angrily: "Lord Ryan, the other party's carriage suddenly stopped in the middle of the road."
"Sir Ryan, I'm Buchanan. I have something important to discuss with you." At this time, Buchanan's voice came from beside Ryan's carriage.
"Oh? So, Sir Buchanan stopped my carriage directly on the road?"
"Don't be angry, Sir Ryan, the groom of the Second Prince is quite impulsive! Please forgive me!" Buchanan specifically mentioned the three words "Second Prince", and his intention was self-evident.
"Creaky!"
The door of the carriage opened, but Ryan did not get off the carriage, nor did he invite Buchanan to get on the carriage. Instead, he spread his legs, looked at Buchanan casually, and said:
"Go ahead, Sir Buchanan."
The shrewd Buchanan naturally understood the meaning of Ryan's gesture, but he came with a mission, and although he was angry in his heart, he still smiled and said:
"Well, Sir Ryan, I heard that you gained a lot in the secret realm this time, especially the blood essence of the young void dragon."
As he said, Buchanan glanced at the box at Ryan's feet.
He was naturally familiar with the mark on it, which was the symbol of the Dragon Scale Brotherhood.
It seemed that the informant's information was correct.
"Oh? Lord Buchanan's information is really well-informed." Ryan did not deny or confirm.
"It's like this, I want to buy the Void Dragon Blood Essence in your hand."
"Are you talking about this? Then I'm sorry, Lord Buchanan, I refuse!" Ryan waved his hand, interrupted Buchanan's words, and said.
"Goodbye!"
"Pop!" Elida immediately closed the door again.
This immediately made Buchanan tremble with anger!
Since he became the steward of the second prince Everton, when has he ever received such courtesy!
However, soon, Buchanan's mouth corners showed a hint of satisfaction.
Because he saw a slender figure in front of him, directly disappearing into the air.
He knew that Quinna was on the move!
At the same time.
In the carriage.
A slender hand seemed to appear out of thin air, and grabbed the box at Ryan's feet like lightning.
Just when the other party was about to disappear with the box, a hand like a clamp grabbed the wrist of the "thief" with a "snap".
Then, Ryan shook his wrist, and a huge force pulled out the person who was about to cut into the shadow.
The upper body of the other party was revealed, with exquisite curves, and it was actually a woman in leather armor.
Since Ryan merged with the blood of the void dragon, his perception of space has become more acute.
Therefore, as soon as Quinna's hand stretched out from the shadow, Ryan noticed it.
Quinna, whose wrist was held by Ryan, was even more surprised!
Because she had calculated her own speed of attack, it was about 0.01 seconds, which was several times faster than the speed of a cat. Ordinary people could not see her movements at all, and even for the title knight, this time was too fast.
Although the title knight could see it and the visual reaction was in time, if the muscle reaction was added, it would basically be too late.
But how could she not be shocked when the man in front of her could actually grab her wrist firmly in an instant!
However, Quinna could not just sit there and do nothing. At this moment, she was pulled out of the shadows, holding a dagger in her other hand, and stabbed Ryan's abdomen with a swift and fierce slash.
"Be careful!"
Alida's reaction was also very fast. She grasped the handle of the war blade and immediately slashed at the "assassin" who suddenly appeared, trying to stop him.
However, the obstruction from the war blade made her react. The space in the carriage was too small, and the war blade in her hand was cutting the carriage open!
In a flash.
Ryan still had a smile on his face, and he grabbed Quinna's other hand holding the dagger again in the same way.
This made Quinna's face change immediately!
She knew that she had met a top powerhouse.
At this moment, both of her hands were held by Ryan, and because of Ryan's great strength, she continued to fly into Ryan's arms. In this case, the only counterattack plan Quinna could think of was to activate her bloodline transformation.
But before she had time to activate her bloodline transformation, she suddenly felt herself falling down like a meteorite!
With a "pop", she penetrated the wooden board layer at the bottom of the carriage!
Before she could feel the pain from her face.
With another "bang", her pretty face smashed directly into the main road of the imperial capital paved with small pieces of granite!
Suddenly, Quinna felt her pretty face hurt, and her whole body seemed to fall apart.
Not to mention transformation, it was even difficult to move!
Ryan just suddenly felt a familiar breath rising from the other party, knowing that the other party wanted to perform some kind of bloodline transformation, and immediately exerted a little force with both hands to interrupt it directly.
The sudden disintegration of the carriage and the splashing granite fragments immediately caused the pedestrians around to exclaim and scream.
As for Buchanan, who was not far away looking at Ryan's carriage, the expectation and smile on his face suddenly froze!
Because he saw that when the smoke and dust dissipated, Ryan slowly stood up, holding Quinna, who was motionless like a puppet.
Obviously, the operation failed!
Not only did he not get the box, but he also caught Quinna in the act!
At this time, Ryan turned and looked at Buchanan not far away, and said: "Mr. Buchanan, it turns out that after your communication failed, you sent someone to steal."
"Uh, Mr. Ryan, you are joking. I don't know this person." Buchanan's eyes flickered, and his face was not good.
"Oh? Really? I thought this person was Mr. Buchanan's subordinate, and I was going to show mercy, but it seems that I don't need to. I will send her to the Sword Bearer headquarters later. I think she should give me some surprises."
Ryan smiled and said.
"Well, that's your freedom, Lord Ryan. Lord Ryan, I have some urgent matters to deal with, so I'll take my leave first." Buchanan's face darkened and he turned and left immediately.
"Lord Ryan, do you need to dispatch another carriage?" Matteo said respectfully.
"No, go to the Astrologer's Platform and ask Major General Tatia to send someone over and arrange a carriage." Ryan was carrying a person at the moment, so it was more appropriate to take a carriage.
"Okay, Lord Ryan."
The movement here naturally attracted the attention of the security patrol team, and soon, a team of guards surrounded him.
However, they saw that Ryan was very imposing and was carrying a person in his hand. The captain of the guard stepped forward, bowed slightly, and said:
"This sir, this is..."
"I am the Imperial Sword Bearer. This person attacked me. Someone from the Sword Bearer headquarters will come to contact you soon." Ryan showed the Sword Bearer emblem and said.
"Okay, sir." The captain of the guard immediately stood at attention and saluted.
At this time, Erida said to Ryan: "Lord Ryan, do you want to torture him? My sister and I can do it for you. We are good at torture."
"Yes, Lord Ryan, my sister is more familiar with the witchcraft of confusing the mind. As for me, I am quite proficient in some torture methods." Sister Erida also immediately agreed.
As followers, the two of them did not play any role just now. At this moment, they were still a little nervous.
"Not for now, let's talk about it in two days." Ryan smiled and nodded.
Soon, the carriage of the Sword Bearer Headquarters arrived.
Along with the carriage came Major General Tatia and several Magic Iron-level Sword Bearers.
"Lord Ryan, have you been attacked?" Major General Tatia looked up and down at Ryan, who had no scars at all, and then looked at the 'assassin' lying on the ground, wrapped in hardened fine gold like a cocoon, and was a little puzzled.
Which family was so stupid that they actually sent someone to assassinate a 'quasi-guardian'.
"She's a thief, Sir Tatia. Please detain her at the Sword Bearer Headquarters. I'll deal with her in two days." Ryan picked up Quinna, who had been controlled by him, and gave her to several Sword Bearers behind Tatia.
Ryan had already learned the answer he wanted from Buchanan's eyes.
This "female thief" must be related to Buchanan, and judging from the breath of dragon blood on the other party, it is very likely that the other party is from the Dragon Scale Brotherhood.
In addition, Ryan considered that if this "female thief" was imprisoned in his own mansion, it would be very likely to attract the other party's rescue, which would affect the safety of his family. Therefore, he proposed to Tatia to imprison her at the Sword Bearer Headquarters.
"No problem, Sir Ryan."
Soon, Ryan took the carriage arranged by the Sword Bearer Headquarters and returned to the mansion.
Ryan learned that the barbarian girl La Grey accompanied the beautiful woman Jennifer to Munster.
After introducing the Eredar sisters to everyone in the mansion, Ryan had dinner with his family and then returned to his study to think carefully about his next move.
The first thing was the choice of a new career.
Since he successfully changed his job to the legendary class 'Dragon Vein Wizard', there is an additional position on the job panel, which has been upgraded from the original (6/6) to (6/7).
Just like the last time he changed his job to 'King of Thousand Blades', Ryan also wanted to choose a job with more subsequent promotion steps to learn.
The purpose, of course, is to obtain enough skill points and attribute points.
Just like the previous blacksmith career promotion system from blacksmith apprentice, blacksmith, armorer, all the way to great armorer, or the tailor career promotion system from tailor apprentice, tailor, master tailor, to witch pattern tailor.
Although the initial jobs of these two systems are not impressive, and the subsequent core skills of the jobs are not very good, the skill points and attribute points contributed are enough, which has brought great convenience to Ryan's subsequent learning of witchcraft and extraordinary combat skills.
Just as Ryan was thinking seriously, suddenly, the voice of the servant came from outside the door.
"Lord Ryan, there is a Lord Hamadi visiting outside."
Hamadi?
Ryan immediately remembered who the visitor was.
"Please ask him to come to the study."
"Okay, Lord Ryan."
Soon, Hamadi, with a smile on his face, came to Ryan's study.
After a brief greeting, Hamadi took out a dark brown wooden box and said,
"Sir Ryan, this is a gift that Senator Trena entrusted me to bring to you."
This was actually a line Hamadi had thought of a long time ago.
In Hamadi's view, since Ryan had a good impression of Trena, a high-ranking and beautiful female federal congressman, he naturally had to make full use of her.
Even if it was impossible to really ask a distinguished female federal congressman to do anything, it would naturally be okay to use her name to do something convenient. After all, everything is for the federation.
"Oh? What is this?" Ryan raised his eyebrows and said.
Hamadi smiled mysteriously and immediately opened the wooden box on the coffee table. He saw three old parchment scrolls placed in it, and the witchcraft aura was more intense than the other.
"Sir Ryan, I wonder if you have heard of witchcraft killer moves?"
"Of course I have heard of it. Could it be that these three witchcraft can be combined into a witchcraft killer move?" Ryan nodded, his mind slightly changed, and said.
"Yes, these three witchcrafts, after being proficiently mastered, can be combined into a witchcraft killer move. Sir Ryan might as well take a look first." Hamadi said with a smile.
"This... is too expensive. Even if it is a personal gift from Ms. Trena, I can't accept it." Ryan shook his head and said.
Ryan knew very well that there would be no free lunch in the sky. The other party's purpose was either to win him over or to ask him for something.
"Sir Ryan, Senator Trena particularly values the friendship between you and Sir Ryan. This is a metal witchcraft killer move that she spent a lot of effort to find. This is also a personal gift."
"Senator Trena is thoughtful. Is this a metal type?" Ryan raised his eyebrows and his heart moved.
This surprised Ryan a little.
After all, metal-based witchcraft is notoriously rare, and very few have been passed down, and even fewer can be combined to form a killer witchcraft move.
Another reason that made Ryan excited was that he had successfully changed his job to a dragon vein wizard. If he could master more powerful witchcraft, especially metal-based witchcraft, it would undoubtedly be very beneficial to the improvement of his own strength.
This.
After thinking about it, Ryan decided to take a look first.
He picked up a witchcraft scroll and flipped through it.
