Ryan no longer has to personally take responsibility for things like selecting magic apprentices. He leaves this matter entirely to Barbara. Now Barbara is no longer the humble little maid she used to be. She plays an important role in the entire card. Sano's status is almost only lower than that of a few people such as Vivian and Adams. Although she does not have much power, as Ryan's first student, she can accept Ryan's teachings at all times. In a few years, humanity might have a new legendary mage.
More than ten days have passed since the defense battle of Iron Fist Castle. The scouts sent by Ryan have also returned one after another. According to the information they brought, important human cities such as Mochizuki City, Free Paradise, and the Imperial Capital have been affected by the undead army to varying degrees. The attack, but because everyone had been prepared for it, although the pressure increased greatly after the attack, several hub cities were safe and sound. However, only the Cassano area successfully defeated the invading undead army, and several other The smoke from the city hasn’t dispersed yet.
The pressure on the Imperial City is the greatest here. The strength of the undead army is ten times that of Bailey's. Frost bone dragons, dark rune knights, giant skeleton golems... all the advanced and powerful units of the undead army have appeared. Under the leadership of the army commander, Catherine's command put tremendous pressure on the Imperial Capital. Although the undead army had not yet reached the walls of Fernando City, it relied on dark magic and a large number of troops to successfully cut off the connection between the Imperial Capital and the south. This is also the reason why Cassano’s teleportation magic circle has never been able to connect to the imperial capital.
Although humans are currently on the absolute defensive, the undead army's forces have been divided into various battlefields and have never been able to form an overwhelming advantage on any battlefield. This makes Ryan extremely confused. If he were to be the undead, The commander-in-chief of the legion will definitely use part of his troops to hold back the imperial capital, the strongest force in mankind, and take the opportunity to gather the main force to attack the weakest city on the human side, in order to weaken the opponent's strength as much as possible.
"There is a conspiracy. There is definitely something wrong here." Ryan has been thinking about this for a long time, but he still can't guess what Nicholas, the commander of the undead army, is up to. Not only Ryan, but also the Elf Queen Fuli Ya was also puzzled. In order to take precautions, Freya endured the pain of lovesickness and sat in Demon Moon City. They only had a few minutes every day to open a teleportation magic circle to exchange information about each other. By the way, I want to comfort my inner thoughts,
"Speaking of which, Allen is so happy. He doesn't care about anything and just stays with Scheina." When Ryan thought of his good friend, he felt a little aggrieved. Why are we all Cassano? Lord, why do you have to bother yourself so much, while Alando can stay with Shaina and their son? This is really unfair,
But when it comes to Allendo's child with a pair of pointed ears, Ryan actually likes it a lot in his heart. After inheriting the different bloodlines between Allendo and Scheina, this half-elf baby was born not long ago. He has shown great talent. I believe that when he grows up and undergoes rigorous training, he will become an excellent warrior. It will not be surprising even if he breaks through to the legendary realm. This makes Ryan jealous because he and Wei Wei An's son still only sleeps soundly and does not seem to have any particularly outstanding features.
Thinking of his child, Ryan's mood suddenly became much more comfortable, and all the troubles that had troubled him were forgotten. At this moment, the door was pushed open, and Vivian and Adela , Adams and other people came in one after another. Ryan was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at the hourglass on the table. Only then did he realize that it was almost noon, and at this time yesterday, he seemed to have asked everyone to have a meeting. Reporting on Cassano's post-war recovery, thinking of this, Ryan showed a confident smile, walked back to the room slowly, casually pulled up a chair by the round table and sat down.
The purpose of using a round table is not to bring too much hierarchical concepts into Cassano's management. Therefore, in every meeting of this kind, everyone sits casually. After everyone is seated, the meeting will naturally It just started. There wasn't much going on in the whole meeting, but there were too many details to be finalized, and many of them had to be decided by Ryan himself. As a result, by the time the meeting was completely over, It's late at night,
Ryan sat in the empty room with a wry smile, one hand constantly comforting his stomach that had been protesting for a long time. Although he had been hungry for a long time, seeing everyone's concentration, he really couldn't bear to punch him. The most direct price for cutting off everyone's enthusiasm was that he was unlucky. This incident also made Ryan secretly swear that he would never hold any meetings before meals again. If the time was changed to after lunch, at least he wouldn't have to go hungry for two days. It was so miserable,
Ryan, who was thinking about something, suddenly felt his nose twitch because he smelled the strong fragrance in the air, so Ryan blurted out: "Vivian's barbecue."
"Hehe, Ryan, you have a really good nose. If anything is lost in the Iron Fist Castle from now on, I just need to smell it and find it." Vivian, who was full of laughter, walked in carrying a large wooden tray. It was covered with a metal lid, but the aroma of the food inside was irresistible to the hungry Ryan.
"Lian, you are so partial, and so am I." Adela followed closely behind Vivian. She also carried a large wooden plate, but on it were some new dishes and a large glass of water.
Ryan was immediately delighted. He couldn't wait to jump up. He stopped one person's waist with one hand, and then gave them a long kiss on the lips. As a result, the two women put down the wooden plate in their hands with flushed faces, and Ryan himself also She scratched her head in embarrassment, because Vivian and the others did not come by themselves. There were a lot of people behind them. As a result, the intimate scene between Ryan and the two women was all seen by these servants. No wonder they Both of them are going to blush,
Ryan glared and threatened the maids with strange expressions on their faces: "No one is allowed to tell anyone, otherwise I will turn you into little sheep and never change you back." Originally, this sentence was legendary. Those classic lines of evil wizards are said by the villains in many stories. Unfortunately, Ryan usually has a humble personality and is very tolerant towards his subordinates. As a result, his vicious words not only had no effect, but instead caused a burst of laughter. , a maid who had been following Adela for a long time had the courage to tease Ryan and said, "I'm so scared. Our mistress used to be a lion, but now she's much docile than a sheep." The maid's words caused a stir again. Laughing, Ryan saw that his threat was ineffective, so he shrugged his shoulders and gave up the plan. However, after all the dinners were set, Ryan stood up and kicked everyone else out, leaving time and space for the two of them. female,
"Well, tell me, am I a failure as a lord? Why isn't everyone afraid of me?" Ryan said with self-pity while eating the meat that Vivian had roasted for him.
"Hmph, come on, why aren't others afraid of you? You still don't know, Ryan, among the top ten most popular bedtime stories in mainland China, your chance of appearing has been raised to fourth place. Those who don't want to sleep After hearing the murderous deeds of you, the 'bloody butcher', the children are all huddled under the quilt. If they don't sleep, you will catch them and eat them." Adela said with a smile,
"Well, this is a slander." Ryan smiled bitterly. Of course he knew about this, and he also knew that the three brothers in front of him were the evil demon king Aleister Caslavin and the demigod lich. Cons and King Alexander Andrew, who had fought and killed countless people throughout his life, thought that he was only ranked below these three brothers, and that there was an obvious upward trend in the rankings. The only thing Ryan could do was smile bitterly.
"Haha, it actually doesn't matter. Having such a reputation is actually a good thing under certain circumstances." Vivian said disapprovingly: "General Orlando's reputation may be more famous than yours, but there are not as many people who are afraid of him as you are. Don't Not to mention, your revenge alone is enough to scare countless people. As for General Orlando, even though his wife's mansion was destroyed, he finally chose to forgive. Fortunately, Mrs. Sophie is safe and sound."
"That's right." Adela also added: "And isn't this very good? At least you don't put heavy pressure on the people around you. Instead, you make everyone rely on you and trust you, and are willing to talk to you. I am willing to joke with you. This is actually what many people dream of. Do you know, Ryan, when you went to Dragon Island, when the undead army launched an attack on Cassano, many residents who had been arranged to evacuate here were They also took up arms and joined the battle surrounding their homeland, and they all knew that they would pay the price with their lives, but no one backed down. What is the reason for this? Isn't it influenced by your personality charm? "
In fact, Ryan didn't have any special thoughts in his mind at all. He just said it casually, but it still made Ryan very happy to hear such comments. Good meals, fine wine, women, and pleasant topics made Ryan happy. Their hearts began to stir. Vivian and Adela looked at each other, with a hint of shyness in their eyes. Naturally, they knew the meaning of Ryan's eyes, but there was only one Ryan, but they were friends. How should we divide the two sisters? They can't be together... That would be too shameful.
"Bang." A loud noise came, and the door was kicked open by someone, and the beautiful scenery in the room was also kicked away. The person who rushed into the house in such a hurry was Barbara, and she also Brought a terrible news: "The dwarf country is surrounded by the undead army. The dwarf king Reynolds was ambushed by the undead army on his way back to Blackstone City. His life and death are unknown now."
