Chapter 11 The Undercurrent Emerges
Click! A group of strange guards hurriedly passed Ryan down the hallway, and the latter silently bowed his head and left the tavern down the hallway without hurrying, as if it were just a cloud of air, which did not attract the slightest attention from the others, and even the waiter who had just collected his tip did not look at him.

Stealth success.
Mission Update: Targeted to complete, gain 50 experience.
Under Ryan's coercion, Bob confessed everything, and to his surprise, buying a murderer was not Luca's idea. As a warlord, Luka has a good relationship with them due to his frequent training with the guards, and Bob heard a drunken complaint about Ryan at Luka's victory party yesterday, and when he learned of Ryan's absence, he cleverly planned the operation.
Originally, he thought that Ryan, who had not recovered from his serious injuries, was not afraid at all, but he did not expect that as a nobleman, Ryan would seek help from the temple. A level 1 ranger in perfect condition is not something that a few weak robbers can defeat, not to mention that Ryan's six years of experience in "Rebirth" have given him unusually strong combat skills.
As for Bob, when he got the information he needed, Ryan had already handed him over to the stupid big man who had long been resentful, and now he was probably beaten out of shape by that strong man.
In the same way, beating the captain of the city guard at the Giant's Tavern, the big man and his companions must not have any good fruit to eat, and as for whether there will be a few floating corpses on the canal tomorrow, that is no longer Ryan's concern.
Walking through the crowded streets, Ryan looked like a ghost who looked at the crowd like nothing, and his pace did not slow down in the slightest, and soon he was back in the castle that he once hated.
Seeing that the doorman saw him, one of them immediately ran to the executive hall at the signal of his companion, Ryan frowned, and quickly relaxed, as if he did not see the strange eyes of the others, and silently walked towards the restaurant.
Bang! The wooden door was slammed open, and a well-armed guard walked briskly toward Ryan's position.
"Master Ryan, Miss Yuna is looking for you."
"Didn't you see me having breakfast?" Without looking back, Ryan continued to eat, which was not possible in "Rebirth" before. Although the taste of the food is not as good as the original world, I don't know why, this real feeling makes him feel a lot of emotion in his heart.
"Master Ryan?"
Ryan's call woke Ryan from his memory, glanced at the crumb of breadcrumbs crumbs clenched tightly in his hand, shook his head, and got up and walked towards the door: "Lead the way." ”
Yuna is indeed worthy of being the dream lover of countless men, even if she is wearing steel armor and facing the sky, she still has the beauty of an elf.
However, the other party was obviously not in the mood to maintain this kind of beauty now, and his good-looking brows were tightly wrinkled, and the gaze that looked at Ryan seemed to penetrate his heart.
"Eldest sister, are you looking for me?" Ryan didn't rest all night, and he wasn't in the mood to look at the woman in front of him affectionately, and he was the first to speak to break the deadlock.
Seeing that Ryan was still so breathless, the corners of Yuna's mouth hooked up a shallow arc like victory, and then quickly became serious again: "Where did you go last night?" ”
Frowning, remembering the extra item in the prestige bar not long ago, Ryan fell into a short contemplation, and did not answer her question directly: "When did the eldest sister become so idle?" ”
Yuna didn't speak, her eyes were on the delicate sword at Ryan's waist, and there was a very oppressive smell in the air.
"How did you get this long sword?"
"I helped the temple clean up a few carrions and bought them from them."
"As a nobleman, he actually helped the temple. Ryan, you've disappointed me. ”
Yuna's voice was pressed very low, like an unbreakable layer of ice, which made people feel an illusion that they did not dare to face it. Ryan's frowning brows did not relax in the slightest, he was still very unaccustomed to the current rules of rampant royal power: "I am helping the people of Horn Creek City, since you know that there are undead monsters in the North City Cemetery, why don't you send someone to find out?" ”
"I don't need you to teach me how to do things, but I'm curious how you managed to kill that ghoul mage with the strength he was able to cast a two-ring spell?" Yuna rested her chin with her hands crossed on the table, her blue eyes hovering like two sharp swords hovering in front of Ryan.
Fearlessly staring at her, Ryan's eyes revealed a hint of confusion: "Ghoul mage? What do you mean? ”
"Are you playing dumb with me?"
"I didn't get it."
Seeing that Ryan's puzzled appearance did not seem to be fake, Yuna frowned, her fingers regularly tapped on the tabletop, listening to the dull sound in her ears, the look on Ryan's face became more and more impatient, and just when he was about to hold it back, Yuna finally spoke: "There was a battle near the canal last night, and the guards found a corpse in the nearby sewers, a beginner mage. ”
Slightly stunned, Ryan looked surprised: "Who did it?" ”
Am I guessing wrong? Seeing this, Yuna's wrinkles between her eyebrows did not decrease but increased, and she was silent for a while and shook her head: "Forget it, you go back and rest." ”
"The mage...
"That's not what you should care about." Ryan's cold gaze made Ryan shut his mouth in amusement, and Yuna waved his hand and gave him the order to evict him.
Closing the door to the Executive Hall, the look on Ryan's face instantly calmed down. As he thought, Barnard's control of the North City was not perfect, and Yuna didn't mention the cloaked men in the slightest. Of course, it is not ruled out that she is deliberately concealing.
As for Mescal, he has long understood the truth of making a big move, and he naturally will not do such a stupid thing to expose his strength.
Glancing silently at the toolbar, Ryan's face was a little strange, and he couldn't tell whether he was happy or distressed.
Successful in bluffing, and relying on your weak strength, you succeeded in convincing Yuna that the ghoul mage had been killed by someone else, causing her to divert her attention from you. Bluff +1 and gain 50 experience.
In the Consulate, as Ryan closed the door, a halfling suddenly appeared from the shadow in the corner, and Ryan would have been extremely surprised if he was here, because he had not even noticed that there was a third person in the room from the beginning.
"Teacher." Hearing a deliberate noise from behind, Yuna tilted her head slightly, looking at Philip who was close to her, with a rare respect on her face, "It seems that those priests are indeed exaggerating." ”
Without answering Yuna, Philip's deep gaze was fixed on the closed door, unable to discern joy and sorrow in his flat eyes.
"The Bone Cemetery will not give up, although Mescal is the experiment of that old fellow's failure, but with his character, this ghoul is definitely not accidental to appear in Horncreek City."
"And most importantly, his experiment is dead here, and under the propaganda of those big-mouthed priests, I'm afraid it will soon reach his ears."
"Although it can't be proved that Mescal's death has anything to do with us, Ryan has been involved, and that bastard of Ralph, now that he is a high priest, is still so cunning and cunning."
"Azales and the Dragonguards are investigating the lizardman riot near Guangze and won't be back for a while, and our city defense forces will probably have a hard time fighting against the invasion of a group of necromancers." As Philip's words fell, Yuna's face showed obvious tiredness, "Unless, we hand over Ryan... ”
"Yuna!" Philip interrupted her words sharply, the expression on his face was unusually cold, "Ryan is your younger brother, he is also Kylot's flesh and blood, and he is one of Barnard's heirs!" ”
"I'm sorry, teacher." After all these years as Kellot's assistant, Yuna knew better than anyone how terrible this halfling was, and when she saw that he showed signs of anger, she quickly bowed her head and admitted her mistake.
"I'll take Ryan out of Horncreek and bring some experts back to help us. The White Bone Cemetery is 108,000 miles away from here, and this matter is like this first. Taking a document from his bosom, Philip threw it onto Yuna's desk, "A Captain of the Guard was beaten up at the Giant's Tavern today, and according to reliable sources, there are also traces of Ryan in it, so I'm more concerned about Byron's reaction now?" ”
