Ryan listened to the man dressed as a butler talking more and more unbearably, and lost the desire to continue listening. He directly patted the man on the shoulder. The body of the man dressed as a butler shrank violently like a shrimp, and then he kissed the man in his mouth. Cursing, he quickly turned around. When he saw Ryan, he was so surprised that he couldn't close his mouth from ear to ear. Then he squeezed a smile from his face and said gracefully: "Ah, it's you, respect." The Lion Wizard."
Ryan looked up and down at the man who looked like a butler and found that he didn't recognize him. As soon as the man who looked like a butler guessed Ryan's thoughts when he saw Ryan's face, he explained: "You are in the Royal Athletic Competition." My master went to watch all those games, and he even put 10,000 gold coins on you, and you really defeated the Royal Knights team."
Ryan nodded, and he asked the man directly: "What happened? I heard what you said about the magic teleportation array."
"Ah, don't you know?" The man who looked like a butler showed surprise on his face, and he asked Ryan: "With your relationship with Lord Luke, don't you know that last night, our family knew After learning about the orcs’ attack, the magic teleportation array in the palace has been operating at full capacity since this morning, and my family has been scheduled to do so in the afternoon. In fact, it has already started.”
"The teleportation array." Ryan asked, "It's teleported to Seawind City."
"Yes." The man who looked like a butler replied, "But due to the limited power of the magician, he can only carry a small number of followers and belongings."
"Then he is."
"Hehe, his sister is my beloved concubine. If it weren't for his sister's begging, I wouldn't come to him at this moment." The man who looked like a butler explained: "Because the quota is limited, anyone who knows about this matter The vast majority of people will not show it around, just in case.”
Ryan nodded. He understood what the words that the man did not say were. If others knew that they could escape through the teleportation array, it might cause chaos and affect the evacuation of these people. This is probably the reason, this The housekeeper then came out to find someone in person.
The man who looked like a butler saw that Ryan had no expression, so he continued: "Well, Mr. Magician Ryan, because of limited time, I have to rush to the palace, otherwise I won't be able to leave." After that, he cast He saluted, and then said to the man in tattered clothes, "Are you leaving or not?"
The man in tattered clothes shook his head and said, "Master, I, I have my family and my children, how about you?"
The man who looked like a butler said repeatedly: "Bah, bah, bah, bah, you are not done yet." Then he looked up at the sky and said nervously: "Damn it, I have to go, otherwise my master will wait for this The teleportation is over, but there is no chance to leave." After saying that, the man who looked like a butler picked up the hem of his clothes and ran away quickly on tiptoes.
Ryan watched the back of the butler-looking man disappear around the corner of the street, and suddenly remembered something. He asked the man in tattered clothes who was still there, "Aren't you residents of the Imperial City?"
The man didn't know Ryan, but when he saw that the usually arrogant housekeeper was polite to the young man in front of him, he thought that Ryan was some kind of big shot. He replied respectfully: " Yes, my lord, since my ancestors we have lived on a farm outside the city."
"Then when did you enter the city?"
"Yesterday, sir, the army forced us to move away. There are still a lot of things in my house that I haven't had time to move. My neighbor sneaked back this afternoon. He couldn't bear to part with those things and said he wanted to move them all in. And "
Ryan asked a few questions casually, but couldn't find anything, so he took out a few silver coins and threw them to the man. Then, with the man's grateful voice, he left with Alando.
Ryan and the two quickly caught up with the large army and returned to Luke's mansion. Along the way, Ryan heard rumors more than ten times that the magic teleportation array had been activated and that a large number of officials and nobles from the empire had left. Ryan was He knew about this matter, but now the negative impact of this matter in the city has appeared. A large number of specious rumors have impacted millions of residents who are at a loss. Ryan is very worried about those who have left the place where his ancestors have lived for generations and have to live in the imperial capital. How would the civilians sleeping on the street react when they learned that the imperial officials and nobles had abandoned them and fled
After arriving at Luke's mansion, Ryan was ready to inform Luke of the matter immediately, but found that Luke had already led his men to the city wall area to set up city defenses with General Orlando. Ryan shook his head helplessly and The whole thing was told to one of Luke's followers exactly, and he was asked to tell Luke immediately. After finishing the matter, Ryan took Alando and others straight to Catherine's residence. He was going to start performing his mission. Yes,
"Please come in." The female knight Christina's eyes flashed with brilliance, and she said loudly to Ryan: "Her Majesty the Queen has ordered you to come over. Mr. Ryan, you can enter directly without further notification." Ryan nodded slightly to Christina, and then brought Alando and Flanner walked into Catherine's room,
Catherine lives in the VIP room in Luke's mansion. Her room is divided into two floors. The inside is a bedroom, and the outside room, where she meets Ryan and others, is decorated as a small study. ,
Ryan walked into the study and found that Catherine was not sitting alone in it. Faras and Alina were accompanying her. Ryan thought this was Luke's arrangement, but he didn't know that it was Catherine's plan. Because yesterday That incident at night, both Ryan and Sophie mistakenly thought that the heroine was Faras, so Catherine invited Faras early in the morning, in order to prevent Faras from having a chance to talk with Ryan or Sophie. What happened last night, to prevent it from being exposed,
Catherine was talking to Faras. She saw Ryan at a glance, and felt panicked for no reason. She did not dare to look directly into Ryan's eyes, for fear that Ryan would recognize her, so she lowered her head slightly. This action was very subtle. Even Farasi, who was sitting next to her, couldn't notice it.
When Faras saw Ryan coming in, she said to Catherine: "Your Majesty the Queen, Ryan must have something to do with you, so let's leave first."
Catherine's mind turned around quickly, and she felt that she could not let Faras leave. If Faras went to find her sister, and Sophie mentioned what happened last night, it would be troublesome, so Catherine said: "Fani, please stay. You are not an outsider anyway."
"But"
"Haha, Fanny, as the Queen, I appoint you as my Royal Magic Advisor, and you will stay with me from now on." Catherine said with a smile: "I am so bored alone, and you are here to accompany me. ."
Faras was about to refuse, but Alina clapped her hands and said, "Okay, okay, sister, just agree." After that, Alina said to Catherine: "Your Majesty the Queen, I want one too."
Faras was shocked. Alina's tone was not respectful enough. It would be troublesome if Catherine got angry. However, Catherine didn't care about it at all. She thought about it and said, "Then you can also be my magic consultant."
"Thank you, Your Majesty the Queen." Alina said excitedly, her smiling face was very cute and rosy. Based on this appearance alone, no one would know that the little girl in front of her was once known as the "Man's Nemesis" in the Royal Athletic Competition. Alina, the little witch,
Seeing that she couldn't shirk it, Faras had no choice but to agree: "Your Majesty the Queen, you are a magician yourself, so you don't need any consultants. But since Her Majesty the Queen has already said so, Alina and I have to do it reluctantly."
Catherine nodded, then looked at Ryan, but cleverly lowered her gaze so that Ryan could not directly see her gaze, so as to arouse Ryan's suspicion, "Lian, Luke has told me, in During this period, my safety, as well as that of Farasi and the others, all depend on you."
Ryan stood at attention, performed a military salute in a military manner, and said loudly: "I will protect your safety to the death."
"Now I am announcing my first order." Catherine said with a smile: "These are extraordinary times. All etiquette is simple. Unless it is on a formal occasion, please call me Catherine and treat me with the etiquette between friends. .”
"Ah, this" Ryan hesitated for a while. He had never studied etiquette and didn't know whether it was appropriate or not.
"Why." Catherine looked at Ryan's hesitation and said with an angry expression: "Don't you look down on me and don't want to be friends with me?"
As soon as Flanner heard Catherine's tone, he gently tugged on Ryan's clothes behind him, signaling Ryan to agree quickly. After thinking about it, Ryan replied: "Yes, Emperor Catherine."
Although Faras felt that this was not very etiquette, Ryan had already agreed, and although Catherine had the status of a queen, she had no real power at all. What's more, when the orcs came to the city, many lives and deaths depended on it, so why worry about one person? As for her title, Faras more or less guessed the purpose of Catherine's doing this. At this time, if she still doesn't win over the hearts of her subordinates to protect her, then Catherine is not worthy of being the queen. All she has paid is Some meaningless things can bring people closer to each other and make subordinates swear to protect their own safety.
When Catherine saw Ryan agreeing, a happy smile appeared on her face. This smile immediately infected everyone in the room, and even the air was filled with a peaceful atmosphere.
