After that night of long talk, Ryan and Faras rested for a day in the imperial capital, and took time to visit friends at the Cathedral of San Nebiro. On the third day, Ryan took his wife and father back to Cassano through the teleportation magic circle. The news that Ryan and others had returned safely had already reached Cassano through teleportation magic when he arrived in the imperial capital, so when Ryan walked out of the teleportation magic circle, he once again received a warm welcome.
Looking at Alando in front of him and his elf wife Scheina behind him, Ryan opened his arms and walked over, hugging Alando tightly, while Farasi walked towards Scheina and talked to her. Whispering, after patting Ryan on the back a few times, Alando let go of Ryan and said with a smile: "I heard that you were so powerful in the underwater world this time that you even demolished the Naga Palace."
"No way." Ryan shook his head and denied: "It's just that some older palaces were flattened so that they can rebuild them according to their wishes."
"Haha, that makes sense." After Alando said this, he stepped aside and pointed at Vivian and others behind him and said, "Here, if I don't get out of the way, they will probably eat me."
Allen Duo's words made Vivian and Adela blush slightly. The two of them stepped forward and greeted Faras first without speaking to Ryan. As a result, Faras took one by one and took them away. This made Ryan, who was about to hug him, slightly disappointed, but he also knew that there was no need to rush, so he said to Adams and Flanner who came up from behind: "Thank you for your hard work in the past two years."
After chatting with his two most capable friends and subordinates, Ryan looked around, but could not find Jialibu and Catherine. Allendo seemed to have guessed Ryan's thoughts, and he explained: "Galibu At the end of last year, Teacher Bu took Catherine back to her hometown over the Hengduan Mountains. They didn't say when they would come back, but they will definitely come back before that hateful demon general."
"Oh." Ryan nodded. With the strength of Teacher Jialib, it is estimated that there is no one in this plane who can make him suffer. Therefore, Ryan has nothing to worry about their safety, but he cannot immediately report to him. Teacher Ghalib asked for advice. Ryan only felt it was a pity, but fortunately, he had obtained the power of two gods during his trip to the bottom of the sea. If he spent more time, he might be able to gain a lot.
After the warm and brief welcome ceremony, the important figures in Cassano gathered in the meeting hall and listened carefully to Ryan once again telling the story of their trip to the bottom of the sea. This time, Ryan did not mention anything other than those personal details, not even himself. He didn’t say anything about his promotion to the field, but simply said in an understatement that he helped Tisilis win the New Year’s Sacrifice, and then the Naga royal family who once fell into disrepute in the human world ascended the throne and became the new Queen.
After saying this, Ryan began to listen to Allendo and others telling him about the development of Cassano and the situation on the entire continent two years after he left. With Allendo and others in charge, Cassano was naturally calm and calm, and came south. Caravans from the north used to travel through the small town of Mori, but after that area turned into a ruined battlefield, everyone unanimously chose Cassano as a transit point. This naturally caused Cassano's economy to grow rapidly.
With money and enough land, Cassano developed much faster than Ryan expected. For a city on the rise, population naturally became the biggest demand, and with the legendary strongman Allendo With the leader in charge, no one would dare to cause trouble here, so the dwarves and naturalized orcs quickly integrated into the city.
The weapons and agricultural tools forged by the dwarves are all of high quality. Whether it is the Imperial Capital in the north or the Moon City in the south, the goods are in short supply. Many caravans bring enough wine to buy the iron tools they make from the dwarves. The orcs are brave and good at fighting, and serve as mercenaries. Often one can defeat three or five thieves, and has become the favorite of various caravan managers. As for the small number of elves settled in Cassano, in addition to teaching magic and making art in the magic guild, there are actually many people organizing He formed a singing and dancing troupe. The elf's handsome appearance and heavenly voice made him famous throughout the southern part of the continent almost overnight.
After everyone who stayed behind in Cassano had finished introducing the situation here, Ryan repeated what he had said to Luke and the others in the Imperial Capital. An open Cassano was something that the people here were looking forward to very much. , but Adams and others are also worried that Ryan's full liberalization will lead to external forces taking the opportunity to infiltrate Cassano, which may complicate the prosperous situation here.
In response to everyone's concerns, Ryan has already thought of countermeasures. The reason why Cassano can reach today's status is inseparable from Ryan's strong rise. It can be said that as long as Ryan is still there, he is still strong enough to maintain a huge advantage. , you don’t have to worry about other forces plotting against Cassano. The simplest example is the New Year’s Sacrifice battle in the underwater world. Sadurina, who stands opposite to Ryan, and more than a hundred legendary strongmen around her are fighting one after another. fell in the continuous battles, and it seems that all the legendary strongmen in the land world only add up to a dozen people. If someone attacks Cassano desperately, I'm afraid it's not enough for Ryan to slap him down.
Since there are no security concerns, why should Cassano worry about the infiltration of others? As a member of the Six-Party Alliance, Cassano acts as a middleman. Without its existence, the other five parties may not join it. Come, so from the moment the Six-Party Alliance was established, Cassano's future has been determined. The faster Cassano develops, the faster the integration of various ethnic groups on this continent will be. For Cassano Nuo's infiltration will not allow Cassano to be assimilated by others. It will only force the infiltrated forces to follow Cassano's pace and ultimately achieve the goal envisioned by Ryan.
After finishing what he was thinking, Ryan realized that five or six hours had passed since he returned to Cassano. Now the sky was getting dark and it was almost time for dinner, so he clapped his hands and said, He said to everyone present: "Okay, that's it for today. As for what I said before, even if you want to implement it, you can't do it in one or two days. It will take a long time." , it may take decades or even hundreds of years, so let’s not worry about it now and let’s have a meal together tonight.”
When Ryan said this, of course the others had no objections, so everyone filed out and walked towards the restaurant. Halfway through, Ryan met a familiar face, but it was his first student Barbara. Originally, Barbara Bara should have come to greet Ryan in person, but according to the arrangement, it was her turn to teach at the Cassano Magic Guild today, so she could only rush over in the evening. After not seeing each other for two years, Barb has grown a lot taller. Her face has also become more delicate. Compared with her image a few years ago, Barbara is now a slim and youthful girl.
"Teacher." Barbara stood on the roadside and saluted Ryan respectfully. Behind her was the adult red dragon Wallace who had signed a dragon guardianship contract with Barbara. At this time, Wallace appeared in human form. , although he had not seen him for several years, he still looked like a sloppy old man. However, when Wallace saw Ryan, his expression immediately changed. The previous sloppy and cynical appearance disappeared in an instant and was replaced. His face was full of disbelief,
Ryan smiled. He knew that Wallace had probably guessed that his strength had greatly improved. Although this guy was not strong enough, he had spent the longest time squatting on Dragon Island among the three adult red dragons. Therefore, for a particularly powerful red dragon, The character has a very keen insight. Who allows the old guys who stay on Dragon Island to have a life span of more than ten thousand years? According to the dragon clan's convention, the older they are, the stronger they are. Even if a guy of this age has not entered the The domain level is probably at the peak of the legendary powerhouse. The invisible pressure they brought to Wallace was exactly the same as what was coming from Ryan at this time.
"You, you..." After saying a few unrelated words, Wallace scratched his head and couldn't help but said: "It's not that I saw it wrong."
Ryan smiled noncommittally and nodded to Wallace, and then continued to say to him: "Wallace, you have worked hard these past two years. Without your help, Barbara would not have been able to make such rapid progress in the past two years. I look at the emblem on her chest, and it seems that she has been successfully promoted to a magister." The reason why Ryan said this is because Barbara's previous strength may be able to compete with the magister, but competing does not mean a guaranteed victory, and at the same time, It does not mean that you can pass the Magister's test. This is just like how Ryan was able to defeat the Magister with a pressing force even though he only had the title of apprentice.
"Of course, I passed the test of the Magister at the beginning of this year. Now the Cassano Magic Guild is short of teachers. I will teach some basic knowledge every few days." Barbara quickly explained to Ryan that she did not go to greet him today. Although she knew Ryan wouldn't care about his reasons, as a student, she still had to do and say what she should do.
Barbara's strength was too poor, and her knowledge was far inferior to that of Wallace, so she didn't even notice the strength of Ryan standing in front of her at this moment. Anyway, she was used to Ryan's progress being much faster than hers. , so even if she could detect something wrong with Ryan, she didn't take it to heart. Barbara just felt that her contract guardian was always cynical on weekdays, why did she suddenly become stupid today? He looks like an idiot,
"Very good. I haven't been in Cassano for the past two years. You should pay more attention. Oh, by the way, where are Seres and the others? Why didn't they see anyone?" Ryan said and asked about another signing. He didn't want Wallace to be too entangled in his promotion field, so he quietly changed the subject.
""Oh, Seres said he needed to find a place where no one was around to concentrate on practicing. Uncle Allendo said he was likely to break through to the legendary realm in the near future. "Barbara looked envious. After all, her dream at this time was to enter the realm of legend, just like her teacher Ryan.
