Bard attacked Ryan with both hands, but the dagger in his hand was almost touching Ryan, but Ryan still didn't react. Bard felt a little uneasy in his heart. He just wanted to win, not hurt Ryan, so Bard subconsciously prepared to slow down the speed of the dagger in his hand and just planned to restrain Ryan.
Just when Bud had this idea, a green halo suddenly appeared on Ryan opposite him. This halo was fleeting and almost unrecognizable in clear weather. It was also because of Bud's concentration that You can only discover this by looking at Ryan. Before Bard could think of what Ryan's change meant, he felt his wrist tighten, and the dagger in his hand could no longer thrust.
At this flash of lightning, Bard raised his eyelids and looked down. He found that at some point, Ryan's hands had firmly grasped his wrist. This also caused Bard's sneak attack on Ryan to fail. Bud didn't believe that his strength could not match that of the magician Ryan. He shouted and prepared to break free, but his eyes caught sight of the red halo appearing on Ryan's body. Then Bud only felt that Ryan was holding his wrist. The strength suddenly increased so much that his bones groaned.
"It hurts." From this pain, Bard understood the reason for Ryan's changes just now. He never expected that Ryan, a magician, would actually give himself the "Wild Bull Power" when he was approached by the enemy. auxiliary magic, and then forcibly stalemate with himself,
Bud tried hard to break away from Ryan's hands that were grabbing his wrists. However, Ryan, who was blessed with the "Power of the Barbarian Bull", was obviously much stronger than Bud, so that Bud's hands were forcibly separated by Ryan. And the dagger that was about to hit Ryan was getting further and further away from Ryan's vital point.
"Damn it." Bard took a sharp breath, used his forehead as a weapon, and slammed into Ryan's face. Bard was very experienced in this move. No matter how powerful the opponent was, if he was defeated by him, If he hits his nose, he will burst into tears. Not only will it greatly affect his vision, but it will also make him lose his desire to fight.
Bud's headbutt was fierce, but Ryan seemed to be caught off guard, and was hit in the face by Bud. However, Bud's head passed through Ryan's body smoothly, and he rushed forward involuntarily. But the body of Ryan who was standing there turned into pieces and disappeared into the air.
"Oops." Bard realized that something was wrong when he lost control of his body and rushed forward, but before he could readjust his body's center of gravity, a strong force came from Bard's back, and Bard The force of De's forward thrust coupled with this great force made him unable to hold back and fell to the ground hard.
"This is your punishment for lying." Ryan's faint voice came to Bud's ear, and a palm was placed on his back. The next moment, a powerful current traveled throughout Bud's body, and it touched The pain caused constantly impacted Bard's nerves, causing Bard to scream in agony.
Ryan took Bud's feet and dragged him to the edge of the playing field, and then threw Bud out of the playing field with a casual throw. When Bud's body came into contact with the ground outside the field, the referee of the game promptly Fabia was announced as the winner of this game, and the audience booed. In their view, two people stood together pretending to be together, and then one of them pushed the other to win. This was simply cheating. ,
Only Catherine, who was sitting in the noble box, understood what happened in the battle just now. Out of fear and curiosity about Fabia, she still chose to watch Ryan's last game in the group stage secretly, but unexpectedly she watched It came to a scene that she admired very much,
Ryan did not panic at all after being approached by Bard. Instead, he directly added protective magic to himself and used his own body as a weapon to fight back. He did not adhere to the tradition that magicians are not good at hand-to-hand combat, and ignored the so-called honors of magicians. This It's quite similar to Catherine's own style.
Catherine took a sip of wine. Tonight, Faras and Victor would go to Fabia's residence. They would offer their own conditions to attract Fabia to join. During the day, Fabia's battle But it made Catherine change her view of Fabia. This is a very powerful magician. If Cassano manages it for a period of time, he may really become an emerging force on this continent, so he must not let it happen. He joined Faras,
Catherine carefully reviewed her plan in her mind. After ensuring that everything was safe, she gently clapped her hands. The door of the box was immediately opened, and two men in black walked in quickly. Catherine whispered: "Invite that Fabia to come see me. Well, you can tell him my identity."
"As you command." The man in black lowered his head and agreed, then quickly stepped back. When the door was closed again, Catherine turned her attention back to Ryan who had already walked out of the competition venue. Unexpectedly, she saw the person she least expected to see. When she saw the scene, three magicians wearing high-level magician robes walked towards Ryan one after another. The male magician in the lead was about 50 years old. Catherine was very familiar with him. This man was named The senior magician of "Demos" is an officer with real power in the Imperial City Magic Guild.
"Damn it, the Magic Guild actually got involved." Catherine placed the crystal cup in her hand heavily on the table, and the bright red liquid in the cup splashed out. Catherine suddenly frowned when she saw this scene, and she thought in her heart Said to myself: "Strange, why am I losing control of my emotions? Is it because my plan failed because someone else took the lead, or... because of that magician Fabia."
While Catherine was deep in thought, Ryan met a guest from the Imperial Capital Magic Guild. A senior magician named Demos invited Ryan to visit the Magic Guild headquarters on behalf of the president of the Imperial Capital Magic Guild. For this invitation, Ryan He was very hesitant in his heart. To defeat Catherine and even the demigod Lich Cons, he must rely on the power of the Magic Guild. However, the Magic Guild of the Imperial Capital also has inextricable ties with the Fernando royal family. Ryan was not sure what the other party was inviting him to. mean,
When Faras and Catherine were coexisting in the imperial capital, the Magic Guild chose neutrality like Orlando, but Orlando had always restricted his subordinates from participating in political struggles, while the Magic Guild allowed both Faras and Catherine to hire their own magicians at will. It's just that Faras has Victor as support, and Catherine herself is a powerful magician. Neither side is very short of manpower in this area, so they did not employ a large number of magicians from the Imperial Capital Magic Guild in a similar way to an arms race. , which also made the Imperial City Magic Guild stay out of everyone’s sight for a long time.
Ryan didn't know about these secrets, but his inner hesitation was seen by Demos. The director of the Imperial Capital Magic Guild smiled and dispelled Ryan's doubts: "Please don't worry, the Magic Guild will never If it is not good for the magician, we are the strongest backing for the magician. Today’s invitation is indeed a bit urgent, but there is nothing we can do about it. We need to help you complete some procedures as soon as possible, such as your magician status.”
When Demos said this, he suddenly lowered his voice and said, "When you first came to the Imperial Capital, there were a lot of fights. Although this matter was suppressed by the Imperial Capital authorities, dragging it out is not the answer. If you can If you are promoted to the Imperial Capital Magic Guild, you will hardly have to worry about these things anymore. It is common sense that magicians are not bound by secular laws."
After Demos said this, he returned to his original voice: "Promotion in the Imperial Capital Magic Guild means that you aspire to the Imperial Capital. This will be very helpful for the Empire to officially recognize your rule of Cassano. We Magic The guild will also provide you with support secretly. Of course, there are some conditions and restrictions for joining the magic guild. You can discuss these small details with the president slowly in the afternoon."
The other party had already talked to this point, and Ryan could not refuse at all, so he could only agree to the invitation. However, just after Demos and the others left, several men in black appeared in front of Ryan again. This time, it turned out to be Catherine's invitation. Ryan did not dare to agree to this invitation. Once Catherine recognized his identity, the whole plan would be ruined. So Ryan used the invitation from the Magic Guild as an excuse to send those men in black away.
After the man in black left, Ryan secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Although he had been working hard to defeat Catherine for the past three years, if he really faced the unparalleled beauty of the Queen Lich, Ryan still had no idea in his heart. Confidence, although he has made a lot of progress in the past three years, it is impossible for others to stand still, and Catherine has been a lich for hundreds of years at least. Her true strength cannot be just as much as she showed last time. ,
The further the whole plan went on, the more Ryan felt that he had no chance of winning. He was very frustrated about this. However, on the surface, Ryan still looked confident. He was now the overlord of the entire Cassano. , his every move, joy, anger, sorrow, and joy will affect the lives of hundreds of thousands of people,
It has to be said that power has changed human beings too much. A young man who once hated pretense couldn't resist putting on a layer of disguise when he was in this position. It's just that he and other rulers The difference is that Ryan himself has no real ambitions. He will not change his nature in pursuit of power. If possible, Ryan even plans to directly hand over Cassano to Vivian's management, and he and Faras will be happy together. Life, although Ryan also vaguely knew in his heart that it was impossible, but it was a hope after all. With it, Ryan had the courage and determination to face countless difficulties.
