Ryan quietly slipped back to his residence in the imperial capital. He couldn't figure out which force the shadow man he met tonight belonged to. At the same time, he was very sorry that he had lost an excellent opportunity, because tomorrow night God will There will be a grand performance, and although the scene will be chaotic, on the contrary, the defense of those key places will definitely be stricter.
After a good night's rest, Ryan appeared in front of everyone full of energy. Vivian had long admired the Imperial Capital, so Ryan had to agree before leaving Cassano. After arriving in the Imperial Capital, he had to agree. Accompany her to visit several places of interest in the imperial capital. Apart from the sacred cathedral, the royal viewing platform is the one that Vivian admires the most.
Vivian couldn't help but get excited when she thought about where millions of humans and orcs were fighting for the actual control of the continent. Fortunately, she didn't know that Ryan was also involved in that battle at the time, and even He was still one of the people with the most outstanding achievements in that battle, otherwise Vivian would have pestered Ryan desperately at night. Of course, she would have pestered Ryan to tell her the war story at that time.
Although many places in the current Imperial City were newly built after Ryan left, the general framework of the entire city has not changed much, so Ryan can be regarded as the most familiar person in the entire team who is familiar with the Imperial Capital. Of course, it is impossible for him to offer to be a guide. , after all, it is easy to reveal one's identity,
Therefore, Ryan took Vivian, Adams, Barbara, and the newly joined Sophie, accompanied by two subordinates who had been stationed in the imperial capital before, and walked around some major places in the imperial capital. Without attracting anyone's attention, Ryan and his group of 10 people all changed into the costumes of ordinary adventurers, pretending to be a mercenary group coming to the imperial capital to participate in a competitive competition. After all, there are so many mercenary groups like this in the imperial capital during this period.
Sophie, the new thief who joined Cassano, seems a bit restrained. She always wears a magic mask on her face. She looks like the 30-year-old boss lady from Mori. Adams is very surprised by this because he clearly sees it. That night when Ryan came back, he came back with a beautiful young woman in his arms. How could he turn into a mature woman in her 30s in a few days with still charm? Could it be that Ryan also has a hobby in this area? If so, then it’s no wonder Vivian and Adela, the two flowers now known as Cassano's twin beauties, have not been picked by Ryan yet.
Ryan didn't know that Adams had some dirty thoughts in his head. He had checked Sophie's magic mask in private. To be honest, the workmanship and material selection were far inferior to the one he was wearing now. On the contrary, the mask of the elf Seres is as lifelike as his own, and can completely deceive everyone.
But now Sophie can only follow Ryan as the proprietress of Morrie Spring, because once she reveals her true face, her beauty will inevitably attract the attention of the killer organization behind her. Although Ryan does not I'm afraid of trouble, but I don't want to cause trouble before I finish the business.
"Ah, it seems that the incomparably beautiful goddess of luck has been looking after me." Just after Ryan and his party had just left the house, Bard's singing-like tone appeared in the ears of Ryan and others again: "But in my opinion, Come, your beauty is better than the goddess of luck, please let me be your unique divine servant, I can offer you songs that will last forever."
The Bud in front of him seemed to have forgotten how fierce Vivian was yesterday, and was following Ryan and his entourage to show his courtesy. Ryan really didn't know if he met her by chance or if he had been waiting outside for a long time, but Ryan didn't want such a guy. Followed behind, especially Vivian's beauty, which can hardly be concealed by ordinary adventurer clothes. If Bard walks like this and shouts all the way, it is estimated that Ryan and the others' travel plan will become a plan that will be watched. There might be other unscrupulous people who come looking for an advantage, which would greatly ruin the fun.
"Get lost, or I'll send you to death." Although she was out for fun today, Vivian was still fully armed and only put on a cloak to cover it up. When she saw Bard coming to cause trouble again, she pulled out her cloak. took his own scimitar,
"Oh, don't be like this." Bard quickly defended himself and said: "After all, we have taken adventures together and saved a girl who was captured by the devil. Are you going to kill your companions who once lived and died together? "
"You." Vivian was about to scold Bard, but Ryan spoke up: "Maybe you should know that there are many magics that can make a person speechless, and I happen to know one or two of those..."
Of course, Bud heard the intimidation in Ryan's words. He quickly closed his mouth. Seeing that Bud understood what he meant, Ryan nodded with satisfaction, and then said to him: "From the town of Mori You have been following us all the way to the Imperial Capital. If you don’t want us to misunderstand you, please explain this matter clearly first.”
Bud was startled. He thought he was very good at hiding his whereabouts, but the other party knew his whereabouts very well. This made Bud a little discouraged. He just thought that he was a person who knew everything but didn't know everything. A proficient bard, Bard quickly returned to his cheerful mood. He quickly said to Ryan: "Thank you very much for giving me such an opportunity to speak. I believe you also know that I am a bard, and generally speaking It is said that people like us will follow a powerful adventurer, solve his worries, follow him through various adventures, and then compile poems to be passed on..."
"I don't think I need it anymore." Ryan shook his head and said to Bud, who turned pale as a result: "I don't need those worldly fame and fortune, or you can change your goal."
"Oh, please listen to me." Bud knew that most of his chances had disappeared, but he still seized the last little gap in an attempt to convince Ryan: "I am not a useless guy, I can play any position. , I know that many people don’t want to be ostentatious, and now it seems that you are one of them, but you are not a simple risk-taker.”
"Oh." When Ryan heard this, he raised his eyebrows, and Bud saw that Ryan was interested in what he said, so he quickly continued: "Please forgive my presumption, in fact, the latest and most important thing on the mainland recently The latest news is about the unification of Cassano, and the Public Security Bureau has published portraits of you and your capable officers in the imperial capital and its surrounding areas, supposedly to avoid conflicts with you."
"Oh, of course you won't be afraid of a small Sheriff's Department. I'm just explaining how I know your identity." Bud continued: "In my opinion, Cassano is a very small place. , but its geographical location is very important, especially since you only brought one maid. It can be said that there is definitely a shortage of manpower now. As for me, I know a lot of things, but everything is sparse and it is difficult to grab it with other mercenaries. What a good mission, but after I stepped into the Imperial City area, I saw your portrait by chance and also knew your identity. I thought, instead of hanging around like this, I might as well join you, an emerging force. If I can gain your trust, I can probably do a small job as a steward, and at least I will have enough food and clothing."
"What you said is very straightforward." Ryan nodded. He already believed 70% of Bud's words.
"Thank you for your understanding. In fact, the vast majority of people in this continent are busy every day just to eat." Bud said: "I am also one of the vast majority of people. Of course, I have to consider myself. As for Wei Ms. Vivian, I'm really sorry, I really can't find any excuse to get close to you. Besides, Ms. Vivian is indeed like a goddess in my heart."
"We are indeed short of people, but we are not short of guys like you who can only talk but not do anything." Vivian certainly didn't want Ryan to have a guy like this who harasses others all day long, so she refused and said: "And what I hate most is You always do some inexplicable things for the purpose of justice, which will bring us trouble, a lot of trouble."
The bearded Bud smiled bitterly at Vivian, and then his eyes were on Ryan. Of course he knew who was the leader of this group of people. A lonely look appeared on Bud's face. The tone of his speech also became deeper: "Every child is pure in heart, so most of them will worship the omnipotent hero. Look, a knight on a white horse killed an evil red dragon alone. , rescued the princess captured by the red dragon, and then the knight and the princess lived happily together... "
"I have never denied that this was also my childhood dream. It's a pity that when I grew up, I realized that if a king could choose, he would definitely marry his woman to the evil red dragon instead of some personal I am a knight of justice. My childhood dreams are sweet, but the reality when I grow up is cruel. Can’t you let me indulge in it for a moment, even if it’s just to deceive myself in my heart?”
"When I was a child, I often imagined that I was a legendary hero. When I grew up, I realized that was impossible, so my only choice now is to follow a hero who might become a legend." Bud shrugged. Said: "Follow in the footsteps of heroes, see with your eyes, write everything you see with your hands, and then sing what you write with your mouth. This is my current wish."
After listening to Bud's words, Ryan fell silent. He was willing to learn martial arts from Ghalib for his childhood dream. Ryan still remembers how much he paid at that time. Other children of the same age can Playing happily, Ryan has to run on the path of the Hengduan Mountains carrying wooden stakes that are heavier than his body. Other boys and girls of the same age are making love to each other, but Ryan has to open his eyes and desperately recite awkward magic spells...
After being silent for several minutes, Ryan suddenly spoke: "You also said why you chose me. Cassano's current power is almost the smallest. You should have more choices."
Bard smiled slightly, swept his beard, opened his mouth and replied: "A god, starting from his mortal time, followed him step by step until he was promoted to a god, and finally became the god's Those who follow God and God's servants, and then praise the God to the fullest after he becomes a God, can only be believers."
Ryan and Bud smiled at each other. At the same time, Ryan stretched out his right hand and said to Bud: "Cassano welcomes you to join, Bud."
