As soon as York walked into Master Leer's magic laboratory, he saw Ryan sitting at a loss on the chair, and Faras beside him with his head buried deeply. He was stunned for a moment, and then he was overjoyed and said repeatedly: " Great, great, Ryan and you guys are here, why is it so lively, Lille, why didn’t you inform me.”
Lille continued to stuff half of the sausage into his mouth without stopping. He just shrugged his shoulders to show that he heard York's words, but York didn't care and walked straight to Ryan. Ryan had already passed by. He stood up on the chair, opened his arms, and hugged York.
"Did you come here because of the independence of Free Heaven?" As soon as York and Ryan separated, he went straight to the point and asked: "The special envoy of the imperial capital that Chilaviv mentioned is probably you or Farasi."
Ryan sighed slightly and explained to York: "We did escort the special envoy here, but on the way, we encountered Senat's elite. The special envoy died accidentally, and one of his companions is missing..." Ryan said here, Suddenly his heart moved, and he remembered what Chilaviv had said not long ago,
"The purpose of Free Paradise is not to involve disputes between various forces, so when the special envoy from the Northern Imperial Capital and the Southern Lord himself appeared in front of me, our Free Paradise Business Alliance once again stood at a crossroads. We need to Take your choices one at a time.”
"The special envoy of the northern imperial capital and the southern lord himself." Ryan's head buzzed, as if a fireball exploded: "The special envoy of the northern imperial capital... The special envoy of the northern imperial capital... Isn't the Robin he was escorting the special envoy of the imperial capital? Didn’t he already die in the rapids, and his body was escorted to Seawind City by Ryan and his team, so why is there a special envoy from the Imperial Capital here in Free Paradise?”
Originally, Ryan did not pay too much attention to what Chilaviv said, because when the special envoy Robin died, Ryan regarded himself as the special envoy. He and Flanner carefully discussed how to persuade Chilaviv. , how to do his best to get the most benefits from Angidi Capital, so when Chilaviv declared the independence of Free Paradise, Ryan focused on weighing the pros and cons of the matter, and did not notice Chilaviv's words The meaning contained in
Now when York mentioned this matter again, Lane suddenly realized that something seemed wrong about the whole thing. Lane and his party tried every means to escort the special envoy Robin to the south, but were betrayed by Senat on the way. In an ambush by the army, Robin's body was handed over to the guards of the Royal Palace in Seawind City by Ryan himself. Before Ryan and the others came to Free Paradise, it was absolutely impossible for any of them to have any contact with Chilaviv. ,
The first thought that came to Ryan's mind was: "Could it be Senat's conspiracy?" But he randomly rejected this hypothesis. If the decision made by Free Paradise was in favor of Senat, then the so-called northern envoy was It is very likely that they are pretending to be Senat's men. However, the current situation is that Free Paradise has declared independence. In fact, the final consequence of this matter is unfavorable to Senat, because doing so will definitely hinder Senat from going south. expansion,
Based on this consideration, Ryan believed that the special envoy from the Northern Imperial Capital had absolutely nothing to do with Senat. So considering the ultimate beneficiary of this matter, another possibility suddenly emerged in Ryan's mind. This idea initially It just flashed inadvertently, but it was like poison that kept swallowing up Ryan's soul, making his heart sink.
"Of course we already have a candidate for this messenger, but it's not easy to send him to the south quietly..." What Luke said that day flew through Ryan's mind. , when every word appeared in his mind, it gave Ryan a shocking feeling as if he had been bombarded by lightning.
"It turns out that he treated us as pawns from the beginning..." Ryan said to himself: "It's a pity that I still put in all the effort..." Ryan's words were full of bitterness, but his voice was very small, even if it was small. Even York, who was standing beside them, didn't hear clearly.
Once the key to the whole matter was figured out, Luke's plan appeared in front of Ryan as it was, which was to use Ryan and his party as overt pawns to let all the forces focus on them. The reason why Ryan and the others have to wait in Seawind City is that they might even be expected to do something about it. I believe that even if the so-called Double Ax mercenary group hadn't come out to cause trouble, Luke might have arranged for others to do this. ,
As an important port city in the south of the Northern Imperial Capital, it is impossible for Senat and others to have no eye spies. As long as Ryan and the others are exposed to the public, they will inevitably attract Senat's attention, not to mention Ryan's outstanding achievements in the Thunder God Fortress and the Imperial Capital. military exploits, but with the relationship between Faras and Luke, it is impossible for Senat to naively think that Ryan and the others are coming to the south for vacation, and everyone knows what the most important thing in the imperial capital is at the moment, so Ryan and his entourage appear In Seawind City, there happened to be unfamiliar faces among the mercenary group. I'm afraid there is no need to elaborate on what this means. Therefore, Seawind City was attacked that night, and then a few days later, it was ambushed again in the suburbs. All this is easily explained,
And Ryan and the others are actually just part of Luke's entire plan. While Senat is focusing on stopping Ryan and his party, the real messenger can pass through Senat's blockade without anyone noticing and appear in freedom. Paradise, negotiate face-to-face with Chilaviv to obtain the greatest benefits as possible. This is probably the fundamental reason why the Free Paradise Business Alliance can make that decision. With the acquiescence of the Imperial Capital, Free Paradise will only have countless benefits. without any harm,
Anger welled up in Ryan's heart, and he clenched his fists tightly. The thing that Ryan couldn't tolerate the most, apart from the harm to his relatives and friends around him, was to be taken advantage of by others. Just like this time, he was completely Luke was treated as a pawn and manipulated at will. Perhaps this was a very normal method for so-called politics, but from Ryan's point of view, this was completely unacceptable to him.
York didn't notice the subtle changes in Ryan's psychology. He greeted everyone as enthusiastically as ever, and then started arguing with Lille happily. After saying a few words, York suddenly remembered that he was here in Lille. With his purpose in mind, he placed the wooden box in his hand on the table and said in a slightly mysterious tone: "Hey, guess what's inside."
Lear said disdainfully: "It's probably another fake that you got from somewhere."
York curled his lips and did not respond directly to Lille's words. He just said in a neutral tone: "You are greedy. If you say a few nice words, I can let you watch it for two days."
Before Lille could continue to bicker with York, Colin interrupted and said, "What on earth is it? You've made it so mysterious. Why don't you open it quickly and let us see it."
"Come on." Thomas punched Colin hard on the shoulder and said in a contemptuous tone: "You can tell what good things are."
"Tch." Colin stretched out the middle finger of his right hand towards Thomas, but then he clenched his fist again. It is better to avoid such indecent movements in front of Ryan, especially in front of Faras. " I don’t understand, but there are two masters here, why don’t they ask for advice?”
This compliment made Lille and York feel extremely comfortable. They both puffed up their chests and raised their heads in unison. However, after Lille and York looked at each other, they found that their actions were exactly the same as the other's. This made them How could the two of them endure it, so they relaxed in unison, but the movements were exactly the same, so Lear scratched his messy head vigorously, looked at York with provocative eyes, and York used his hands to I kept touching the wooden box to show the ownership of this item.
Originally, if Ryan saw York and Lille being so pretentious, he would definitely smile and say a few words to explain them, but now Ryan is standing there straight and his face seems to be quite ugly, as if he has something on his mind.
Due to the bickering between Lille and York, everyone's attention shifted to the two of them, which also made Faras regain peace of mind. When she saw Ryan looking worried, she pulled Ryan hard with her hand. of his clothes, and whispered: "Guess what's in that box."
Farasi's words temporarily suppressed Ryan's inner anger. He was about to speak, but a thought suddenly appeared in Ryan's mind: "Fani didn't know about this in advance. After all, Luke is hers." Father." This thought shocked Ryan himself. He shook his head vigorously and tried his best to get rid of the thought.
Farasi misunderstood what Ryan meant. She thought that Ryan didn't know, so she smiled and said: "Okay, okay, I don't know if you can just say it. Why are you shaking so hard? Be careful and it will hurt your head." Passed out."
When Ryan saw that Faras had misunderstood what he meant, he didn't explain. He just stopped the action and said to York: "Come on, York, you'd better open it yourself and let us take a look."
York smiled mysteriously and said, "I bet you will be stunned. You will. I worked hard to get this."
"Okay, open it quickly and let us take a look."
"Okay." York reached out to open the box at Ryan's urging and said, "Lian, you are also an expert in this field, but you have to look carefully."
Before he finished speaking, the wooden box was opened by York, and a ball of emerald green light immediately appeared in front of everyone.
