What caught Ryan's eye was Sophie, who was leaning against the carriage with a lonely look. She bent her left leg and put it on her chest, with her hands and fingers interlaced in front of her left knee. She had already changed her clothes. , the hair can also be clearly seen to be combed, and the appearance seems to be quite energetic, and lying on the other side of the carriage is Julia who is still in a coma,
"You're here," Sophie said.
"Well, I'm here." Ryan moved his body and sat inside the carriage. The coachman outside seemed to have received Vivian's order, and the carriage moved slowly again.
Sophie's eyes looked at Ryan. As the carriage moved, her body naturally swayed. Sophie wanted to speak several times, but she didn't know how to start. Ryan saw Sophie He seemed hesitant to speak, so he took the initiative to say to her: "Are you hungry?"
"Thank you. Vivian has already sent me a piece of food. It tastes good." Sophie replied,
"Oh." Ryan nodded and continued: "I heard Vivian said, you are looking for me."
"Yes." Seeing that Ryan finally raised the topic, Sophie knew that her fate depended on the other person's thoughts. She took a deep breath, calmed down her mood, and slowly said to Ryan: "Thank you. , Mr. Fabia Magician, if it hadn’t been you last night, I would have…”
Ryan waved his hand to stop Sophie's words, and then he said to Sophie: "After all, it was us who rashly revealed your identity. There is really no need to talk about right and wrong. I think it's better not to think about it anymore. In short, it's all It’s passed, well, what are your plans now.”
Sophie sighed and said to Ryan: "I plan to go to the beach, and then hire a boat to go out to sea, hoping to find an uninhabited island..."
"Their power is so great." Ryan asked: "They can actually spread across the entire continent. Even the king of this empire seems to be unable to reach this level."
"No, if a king wants to kill me, maybe I can escape, but if the organization wants to kill me, I... I have no way to escape." Sophie said: "The killers of the organization are pervasive, because they themselves are They rely on assassinations for a living, and it is said that they have secret sentinels everywhere on the mainland. As long as my whereabouts are slightly exposed,... "
"Oh, what's the name of your original organization?" Ryan asked: "Is there such a terrifying killer organization on the mainland? Is it the number one Soul Eater, or something like that?"
"No, not at all." Sophie shook her head and said, "For a killer, the more famous he is, the worse his strength. Real killers are all nameless, and so are killer organizations. I only know that some people call us 'Shadows.' , the killers in the organization are all shadows, and behind every killer there are several assistants. I was once one of the assistants of a certain killer, responsible for helping him crack the mechanism and track the target."
"Sirius." Ryan heard the name yesterday, so he repeated it,
"Well, he is a very powerful killer. He is responsible for the death of many dignitaries on the mainland." Sophie's eyes showed admiration: "But no one outside has ever known this, because no matter who in the organization Everything that was done was uniformly said to the outside world that it was done by the 'Shadow'."
"I have been trained in the 'Shadow' since I was 5 years old. I can skillfully crack and set up various traps. I can track prey that has been on the run for three days. I can even use the environment to make terrifying murder weapons. As for stealing, I can easily do things like opening locks with my eyes closed.”
"Well, the luckiest thing for a woman is probably to have a good appearance and figure. Unfortunately, the saddest thing for a woman is that she lacks the power to protect her appearance and figure. If it weren't for Sirius, I think I would have been taken over long ago. Become a personal pet, or become a 'swallow' to comfort the killer."
"However, this matter was inevitable in the end. Another killer who had coveted me for a long time openly asked the organization for me, and Sirius naturally wanted to protect me, so according to the rules, both sides carried out a sniper mission at the same time. Kill first The one who targets the target wins, but what I never expected was that when Tianlang killed the target and retreated, he was sniped by the other party, and the one who attacked also included another very powerful killer in the organization."
"Those two killers are ranked below Tianlang. They have long hoped to kill Tianlang and advance their rankings. Targeting me this time is just an excuse, but Tianlang's strength far exceeds them. After paying a certain price, he sniped the two of them together. Seeing that things passed like this, I didn't expect that the 'farmer' who ranked before Sirius in the organization suddenly appeared and severely wounded Sirius."
"Farmer." Ryan was a little curious about this title, so he asked,
Sophie nodded and explained for Ryan: "The names of the killers in the organization are all meaningless. It is impossible to infer his true identity and special skills from this. The name 'Farmer' sounds unremarkable. But he is a magician, and Sirius was injured by his spell."
"It's the kind of spell that made your body stiff last night." Ryan asked,
Sophie's face turned slightly red, but she still nodded and said, "Yes, but that's just one of the spells. I've seen magician killers in the organization use this spell. They can summon huge arms to hold them tightly." Seize the enemy's body, or create terrifying hallucinations in front of the enemy... I don't know much about magic, but I know that once being targeted by such a spellcaster, it will be a terrible thing."
"Oh, it sounds very powerful, but without fighting this kind of magician personally, it's hard to say what the specific situation is." Ryan said softly: "But I think the vast majority of magicians have chosen to be proficient in elemental magic. , it must be more than a coincidence. If the spell you mentioned is so powerful, there is no reason why it cannot be taught openly in the magic academy. Do you have to sell your soul? But it sounds like it is just illusion and spell. As a hybrid, it shouldn’t be that troublesome.”
Sophie shook her head slightly. She knew nothing about the details of this kind of magic. Ryan also stopped talking at the right time and continued to listen to Sophie's story. Sophie also briefly told about her escape at that time. In this situation, it was precisely because of Sirius's protection that Sophie escaped safely, but Sirius died in the battle. Not only that, Sophie also kept telling Ryan how her killer organization was. It’s terrible. People who defected in the past were all captured and subjected to such brutal punishments.
"Hahahaha." Ryan burst out laughing. He shook his head while laughing, while Sophie looked at him in surprise. She didn't know why Ryan felt so funny.
After a while, Ryan slowly stopped laughing. He stretched out the index finger of his right hand and bent it, tapping rhythmically on the carriage. At the same time, he also followed this rhythm and spoke word by word. Sophie said: "Even the supreme God dare not say that he can spread his followers to every corner, not to mention it is just an organization hiding in the dark. If they are so powerful, they will hide obediently."
"But… "
"This is nothing surprising." Ryan said with a smile: "For example, the Royal Knights are known to be invincible to the outside world, but if they use forbidden spells to attack, 5,000 holy knights can really be safe and sound. This is just for the sake of the imperial rulers. It's just some auxiliary means to maintain its own rule, and that organization can't tell you that you can rebel at will, because the organization can't do anything to you anyway."
"I have already offended the No. 1 and No. 2 Soul Eater and Blood Soul in the killer organization. Naturally, I don't care about adding a 'shadow' to them. Sophie, I have always hoped to have a companion who is proficient in traps. It's a pity. I have never been able to find it. Since what happened last night was caused by Vivian and I's recklessness, then I also need to be concerned about your safety. If you don't mind, just stay in my team. As for what you will face Of course, my companions and I will help you solve the pursuit."
"Ah." Sophie was overjoyed after hearing Ryan's words. In fact, in her heart, she also had a vague idea of joining Ryan and obtaining his protection. The magical flame that Ryan showed last night that can burn the soul made Sophie She knew that the young magician in front of her had powerful and terrifying power. At least she had seen and heard of people in her own organization who could do this. After waking up during the day and observing Ryan's followers, she found that Ryan at least had A powerful entourage, and usually the size of a magician's entourage is directly proportional to his strength. With such strength, he should not be afraid of retaliation from his own organization.
It's just that Sophie couldn't take the initiative to speak because she knew she couldn't offer anything worthy of exchange. The only thing Sophie could offer now was her body, not to mention that Ryan didn't do anything to her in that environment last night. She has ulterior motives. Take Vivian for example, she is a beauty who will never lose to her. What qualifications does Sophie have to compete with Vivian
Now Sophie has no choice. Her only way to survive is to take shelter under Ryan's wings. Even if Ryan gets Sophie's body as the price for taking Sophie in, Sophie will pay without hesitation, because last night's The experience made her clearly understand that even if she doesn't do this now, without anyone to protect her, Sophie may fall into the hands of the organization at any time, and her experience will definitely be worse by then.
Although Sophie is not a casual woman, she is a smart woman. Rather than being brutally insulted by a group of people, it is better to serve a man wholeheartedly. Sophie has been in the killer organization since she was a child. Over the years, she has seen countless notorious names. Although the relationship between Ryan and Ryan was very short, in Sophie's view, Ryan should not be a shameless person. Such a man is definitely the kind of man that most women hope to stay with for life. He is no longer old. Too young, does it really have to be transferred from one man's hands to another like goods
That's why Sophie behaved like that just now, and for Ryan, Sophie, as an excellent thief, is of great help to him. As for that organization, anyway, as Ryan himself said, he has offended He has killed several people, and there is no shortage of one more. Moreover, there are many people who want to kill Ryan. If Ryan allows them to succeed easily, then it will not matter whether Ryan takes Sophie in.
Looking at Sophie who was crying with joy, Ryan stretched out his hand with a smile: "I, Fabia, welcome you to join us on behalf of the entire Cassano, Sophie."
