Since he saw the two guys wearing uniforms of the Imperial Capital soldiers, Ryan knew in his heart that something very important must have happened. He gave up the plan to find Moses, but turned around and walked towards the top of the Iron Fist Castle, and then he left. Less than 100 meters away, the clear sound of horse hooves came from behind. Ryan turned slightly sideways and looked behind him, only to see the five people riding on war horses rushing past him, and in this glance In the meantime, Ryan saw clearly the appearance of the two people wearing imperial uniforms.
Young and persistent, this was Ryan's first impression of those two people. Most of the people with this kind of mental outlook in the imperial capital were trainee knights of the Royal Knights, and those two guys also saw Ryan, but at this time Ryan only wore a magician's robe and did not have any clothing that showed his identity, so the two guys were just a little surprised that there was a magician here, so they rode past.
Ryan walked back slowly, and everyone who saw him along the way sent him heartfelt greetings and blessings. While walking, Ryan greeted people on the roadside, and occasionally stopped to say a few words. It was Old Bill who suggested to Ryan. Since Ryan plans to become the overlord of Cassano, in addition to showing his strong power, he must also deliberately create an image that is close to the people. To do this, Ryan does not need to pretend at all, because His original character is like this,
"Sir." A messenger quickly ran down from the top of the mountain. He quickly came to Ryan and said loudly: "Sir Vivian, please go to the meeting hall immediately. There is something you need to handle."
Ryan nodded, indicating that he heard it. When the people around Ryan saw that Ryan had something to deal with, they all walked away consciously. After the people around him dispersed, the messenger lowered his voice and said: " It’s a messenger from the Imperial Capital, Lady Vivian said it’s about the Royal Athletic Competition that has been suspended for three years.”
When Ryan heard the words "Royal Athletic Competition", he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. His unforgettable experiences immediately appeared in front of his eyes, but Ryan also knew that now was not the time for him to remember the past. He nodded again, Speeding up his pace,
About 20 minutes later, Ryan returned to the meeting hall located on the top of the Iron Fist Castle. Vivian and Adela had already been sitting there waiting for him. After seeing Ryan walking in, Vivian immediately stood up. Come and pour a glass of water for Ryan, while Adela, who is a step slower, obediently pulls a chair for Ryan to sit down.
"Two trainee knights from the Royal Knights of the Imperial City came just now. They brought a letter from Orlando, the leader of the Royal Knights. Here, this is it." Vivian said this and handed over an unopened letter. The letter was pushed to Ryan's side. Ryan frowned slightly and said unhappily: "Why don't you open it? Didn't I say that you all have the right to know anything that involves Cassano? If I am not present , you can make your own decision, at most you can just tell me afterwards."
"Okay." Vivian picked up the letter on the table, gently tore it open, and pulled out a thin piece of letter paper, while Ryan used the time that Vivian read the letter to chat with Adela. Regarding the migration to Saranar, Adela was a little restrained at first, but after chatting for a while, she gradually relaxed and told everything that happened during this period. came out,
Many people in high positions especially like to seize power. They have to personally deal with every detail. Even small matters thousands of kilometers away must be carried out according to the steps they have planned in advance. Even if there is a small mistake, they will get angry. However, Ryan does not intend to do that, because in his opinion, these mundane things are no fun. Ryan would rather choose to study magic alone, so Ryan will never take over the tasks that can be delegated. He and he Adela's conversation was just to see if there was anything she needed to resolve.
Ryan's approach has greatly aroused the enthusiasm of his subordinates, because now those people under Ryan were the managers of those three families. They are rich in experience. As long as they give them a general direction and give them a little bit more As time goes by, these people will be able to handle daily affairs skillfully, without Ryan having to worry about it any more.
When the conversation between Ryan and Adela came to an end, Vivian put down the letter in her hand and said: "The letter was written by Faras, the consul of the imperial capital. She said in the letter that the athletic competitions that had been suspended in the past three years were due to It was caused by the invasion of orcs, and starting from this year, the Royal Athletic Competition will be held again, but the rules have been changed somewhat. Each participant registers in his or her own name, and the competition is also conducted on a 1-on-1 basis."
"It seems that we have to go to this competition." Ryan rubbed his nose and said to Vivian. Vivian knew Ryan's past, and she also felt that going to the Imperial Capital in the name of participating in this competitive competition was very hidden. So she agreed with Ryan's decision. Although Adela didn't know Ryan's past, she also believed that this was an opportunity to greatly enhance Cassano's reputation.
Since it was unanimously approved, Ryan was ready to receive the messengers from the imperial capital and give them a reply. This was the first time that Ryan met outsiders on a formal occasion, so he was very particular about his clothing. Vivian and Adela personally dressed up Ryan. They put Ryan in a special set of gold-encrusted robes, which made Ryan look much more majestic.
It has to be said that after dressing up, Ryan looked more and more handsome. The maids next to him all blushed and lowered their heads. Vivian saw this scene. She deliberately teased Ryan and said, "Fabia, I didn't expect that. You look much more handsome when you dress up, why do you always dress so plainly?"
Ryan said disapprovingly: "A man relies on his strength. If I didn't have this magical power, even if I put on the king's costume, no one would respect me. I'm afraid they would treat me as a circus clown. And now Even if I dress like a beggar, in the whole Cassano, people who know me will definitely think that I do this very meaningfully. If I wear a red hat today, maybe tomorrow it will become the most popular thing in the entire plain. .”
After helping Ryan get dressed, Vivian and Adela also put on their own clothes. Their clothes were much simpler, but they could still indicate their respective identities. When everything was completed, everyone gathered around Following Ryan, he walked towards the main hall.
The main hall of Iron Fist Castle is a place used to receive guests. If it is just a messenger, it is impossible to receive them there. Just call to the meeting hall to meet them. However, since the two messengers are from the imperial capital, they are in a position to face the empire. With such respect, it would not be too much for Ryan to receive them in the main hall.
After Ryan and others arrived, Old Bill, the butler, shouted loudly: "The overlord of the Cassano Plain, the ruler of the Emilio family, and the protector of the Saranal family, Seremi Mr. Fabia, the conqueror of the Si family, has guests from the imperial capital."
This order was passed on level by level. After a few minutes, footsteps were heard outside the main hall. The two messengers from the imperial capital walked in together. They looked up and found the only person in the main hall sitting in the middle seat. Ryan immediately recalled that he had seen him under the castle. The two messengers looked at each other. They never expected that the man wearing an ordinary magician's robe just now was actually the target of their trip. ,
Although the two messengers did not know anyone in the hall, Lane was the only person sitting in the hall, so his identity was naturally obvious, so one of the messengers stepped forward and said to Lane: "Hello, Dear Overlord of Cassano Plain, we are trainee knights from the Royal Knights of the Imperial City. We have brought you the letter from the leader. I don’t know if you have read it. If you have any questions, you can ask directly. Us, if you have the final decision, please tell us so that we can take it back to the Imperial Capital."
Ryan's mood has completely returned to calm at this moment. Although this is the first time he has been exposed to news about Faras and Orlando in three years, he still has a calm expression and tries hard to play the role of Fabia in front of outsiders. Vivian, who was standing next to him with her hands tied, said, "Please let the two guests sit down."
Several servants moved chairs and asked the two messengers from the imperial capital to sit down. Then Vivian said again: "I don't know when this competition will start. How many people have signed up so far."
A messenger quickly stood up and replied: "The competition will be held at the end of the year. If you want to send people to participate, please be sure to register at the Royal Knights Military Camp in the Imperial Capital before the end of November. As for how many people there are now, I'm sorry. I don’t know very well, but as far as I know, all cities and villages with more than 500 people living in the imperial capital have sent messengers. If each group of messengers can bring back good news, then the number of people participating will be an objective number. number."
"Consul, I remember that the consul of the imperial capital should be Luke. Why did he become Faras?" Ryan suddenly spoke: "Also, is Queen Catherine okay now?"
"Oh, that's the case. Lord Luke was unable to handle government affairs due to illness three years ago, so his daughter Ms. Faras took over his father's duties with the help of Archmage Victor. Her Majesty the Queen, everything is fine. , thank you for your concern."
"Oh, by the way, are there any restrictions on registration?" Adela suddenly spoke,
The imperial messenger said: "Anyone can sign up voluntarily. There is no limit on the number of places. However, if the number of people is too large, we will conduct a preliminary round first and divide the contestants into several groups by drawing lots. In short, the finals will be held next year Held on New Year's Day, Her Majesty the Queen will personally award the winner with a reward and grant him a legitimate wish."
"Please tell Her Majesty Queen Catherine that I will definitely return to the Imperial Capital." Ryan already knew what he wanted to know, and he said calmly: "I am determined to get certain things."
The two messengers thought that Ryan was referring to the honor of the championship, so they stood up and bowed to Ryan: "As you wish, Mr. Overlord of Cassano."
