Ryan looked out through the car window and saw lush trees standing on both sides of the road. Although it was already autumn, the tree crowns were still covered with green leaves, as if proudly proving to the people passing by that the imperial capital today was still full of vitality. Perhaps because of the upcoming competitive competition, there are a lot of carriages on the road, but most of them are trucks transporting goods. After all, tomorrow is the last day for registration, and most of the people participating in this competition have already arrived in advance. Arrived,
In the distance was the towering city of Fernando. Seeing the scene that haunted him, Ryan couldn't help but close his eyes. After 3 years, he returned here again, and just like 3 years ago, Ryan was still Will lead his companions who live and die together to fight against the opponent three years ago, Catherine, who has become the queen of the empire,
Several Cassano warriors who were waiting anxiously not far ahead of the road were very excited when they saw Ryan and his party's carriage speeding towards them. They quickly mounted their horses and joined the team, which was more than 100 meters long. The leading soldier controlled the horses and walked side by side with Ryan's carriage. He respectfully reported to Ryan, who showed his face: "Sir, the resting place has been arranged."
"Well." Ryan nodded slightly. After such a long time, Ryan has learned how to show his authority in front of his subordinates.
"As for the registration for the competitive competition, since they insist that the contestants must go in person, so..." The warrior on horseback hesitated here, but Ryan did not take this to heart at all. He asked: "Each region Is there a quota limit?"
"No, my lord."
"Oh, are there any occupation restrictions?" Ryan asked again,
"No, sir." The warrior on horseback replied: "I heard that regardless of occupation, gender and age, all are randomly drawn and then compete one-on-one in a fixed venue. In addition to not killing the opponent, There are almost no restrictions.”
"Oh." Ryan raised his eyebrows. He had already guessed the intention of the imperial capital from his subordinate's words, because in one-on-one battles, the Holy Knight cannot be said to be the most powerful, but he can definitely be said to be the best at it. Defensively, as long as the Royal Knights send dozens of knights, it will be easy to obtain a higher ranking. If Orlando takes action personally, coupled with restrictions such as the competition area, I am afraid that even Victor will have a headache. After all, "Thunder God's Wrath" also takes 10 minutes to cast.
"Let's go to the resting place and settle down first." Ryan had made up his mind in an instant: "Register in the afternoon."
"As you command, my lord." The warrior on horseback saluted Ryan. At this time, Ryan's convoy was about to arrive at the gate of the imperial capital. The warrior on horseback immediately whipped the horse's butt several times and ran quickly to At the front of the motorcade, he wanted to pass on Ryan's order and at the same time lead the motorcade to the resting place that had been prepared long ago.
Ryan lowered the curtains and leaned quietly against the carriage. It has to be said that power is something that people love and hate. Ryan still clearly remembers the first time he and Faras went to the imperial capital. At that time, Ryan had just left his hometown, and he even had the idea of walking to the imperial capital, but Faras and the others strongly rejected it.
Now Ryan is sitting on the Cassano Plain, with tens of thousands of troops under his command, and hundreds of thousands of people. If he were to return to the time when he was an uncivilized man, I am afraid that Ryan would not be used to it carefully. At that time, Ryan's barbecue was considered one of everyone's favorite foods, but now, Ryan shook his head slightly. He had almost forgotten how to bake.
As for his residence in the imperial capital this time, Adams arranged for someone to buy it here a few months ago. Ryan originally planned to rent a hotel, but unexpectedly, Adams asked someone to buy a residence directly as soon as he opened his mouth. For safety reasons, Lane ultimately did not stop Adams.
Later, according to the information brought back by the messenger, although the newly added residence was in a relatively remote area of the imperial capital, it was enough to accommodate hundreds of people, and the cost was only a few hundred thousand gold coins, which was the price of several magic items carefully crafted by Ryan. , recalling the first mission he took on, the reward was only five gold coins. With Ryan's current status, even if 10 gold coins were dropped at his feet, he would not bother to pick it up.
Just when Ryan was lost in memories of the past, the sunlight outside the car window suddenly disappeared. Ryan knew that this was his carriage driving into the gate of the Imperial City. He suddenly became very interested in the Imperial City outside. Three years ago , Ryan fought bloody battles here, and three years later, what kind of changes has this ancient city undergone under the management of Faras
The carriage galloped on the streets of the Imperial Capital. Ryan gently opened the curtains to browse outside. Everything he saw made Ryan feel so strange. Although the original direction of the orcs' main attack was the north of the Imperial Capital, there were several other directions in the Imperial Capital. It was also attacked by the orc army, and damage was inevitable. Therefore, many of the streets and buildings that Ryan saw were newly built or repaired. It was hard to believe that this huge city had been completely renovated in only three years.
Merchants from different parts of the mainland are present in every corner of the city, and the rich products they bring from all over the world are exchanged here. This kind of commercial behavior has quickly restored the imperial capital to its former prosperity. After the reconstruction of the imperial capital, the main roads It can still accommodate eight carriages walking side by side, and the shops on both sides of the street are filled with people coming in and out from time to time. The young hawkers stand on the wooden boxes and shout loudly...
Everything made Ryan feel very gratified. After all, 3 years ago, he and countless like-minded partners were involved in a bitter battle to protect this city. From the heart, no matter whether this city was controlled by Faras or not, He hopes that the people in this city can live happily, so that the unknown soldiers who sacrificed their lives to defend this place can truly rest in peace.
"Huh." The carriage Ryan was riding in suddenly came to an emergency stop, and he inevitably let his body fall forward quickly in the carriage. Fortunately, Ryan was agile. He stretched out his right hand and pressed lightly on the carriage. He stopped himself from jumping forward, and before he could ask, he heard Vivian yelling angrily from outside: "Damn guys, what do you want to do?"
"Hey, listen." A man with an imperial accent shouted not far away: "My master is the Fernando royal family. Yesterday a maid ran away from our house. She may have been hidden by you, so we want to search your fleet. .”
Ryan couldn't help laughing in the car. This was really a lame excuse. If it didn't contain some terrible conspiracy, then it can only be said that these guys are used to being domineering, and they couldn't see the difference in Ryan's profession. A team of hundreds of people is definitely not easy to mess with.
"Don't you want to live anymore? Do you know who my master is?" Vivian shouted loudly: "How dare you directly block my master's carriage? Is this how the imperial capital treats guests?"
"Little girl, don't yell. You will scream slowly at night." The guy with the imperial accent said a few words seductively, and then shouted loudly: "Come on, this little girl, and over there Those in the car are all our master’s slaves, and they just escaped last night.”
"Yes." Dozens of men's voices echoed, and no one considered whether the guy's words were logical.
"What's so noisy?" Ryan saw that the other party was planning to use force, so he sat in the carriage and spoke. Vivian, who was riding a horse outside, naturally replied in a playful manner: "Master, someone is provoking."
"Very good." Ryan's voice sounded again: "This is how the Imperial City treats their guests, or in other words, this is a world where the weak eat the strong."
"Who do you think you are? If you have the ability, come out." The man with the imperial accent cursed loudly: "Otherwise, get out of here. When will it be your country bumpkins' turn to take care of the affairs of our Fernando royal family?"
After hearing what the other party said, Ryan sighed in his heart. It seemed that the other party came to the door to die. Ryan had carefully considered it before coming to the imperial capital. If he wanted to keep his secret to the greatest extent, he must shape himself into someone else. How could an identity, an overlord who could rule Cassano in a short period of time, be a benevolent person? On the contrary, the more Ryan acted out the image of an ambitious, energetic, cruel and easy-to-kill overlord, the more he became at odds with himself. His appearance was completely different from before, and his identity as the fake Fabia became harder to expose.
"In that case, let's make you the first victim." Ryan said silently in his heart: "Anyway, judging from your tone and your current behavior, it's definitely not a good thing."
The door of the carriage was opened, and Ryan slowly walked down. When the other party saw Ryan's young appearance, he immediately sneered and shouted: "It turns out that he is a pretty boy. It seems that you can't satisfy your woman." Well, why not let me... ah."
The man with the imperial accent only said this frivolously, and immediately let out a painful scream, because Ryan was currently playing the role of an overlord with the power to kill hundreds of thousands of people. How could he calmly face the insults and provocations of the enemy? , and Ryan is also the most disgusted with those guys who try to take advantage of the female companions around him, so he directly raised his hand and there was a bolt of lightning,
Originally, everyone thought that Ryan and the others were just wealthy businessmen from out of town. Faced with the harassment from the families of the dandy boys in the imperial capital, they would probably spend some money to ward off the disaster. Unexpectedly, after getting out of the car, Ryan raised his hand and released a magic spell without saying a word. The man who spoke frivolously was knocked backwards by Ryan's lightning spell on the spot. By the time his body hit the wall of a shop on the street and fell to the ground, he had turned into a blackened corpse.
