Ryan quietly slipped back to his residence in the imperial capital. He couldn't figure out which force the dark shadow man he met tonight was, and at the same time, he regretted that he had lost a great opportunity, because tomorrow night the emperor would have a grand performance, and although the scene would be chaotic at that time, on the contrary, the defense of those vital places would definitely be stricter.

After a good night's rest, Ryan appeared in front of everyone in a hundred times more spirit, Vivian has long admired the imperial capital, so Ryan had to agree before he left Cassano, and when he arrived in the imperial capital, he would accompany the other party to visit several places of interest in the imperial capital, among which in addition to the sacred cathedral, it was the royal viewing platform that Vivian admired the most.

Vivien couldn't help but get excited when she thought of the millions of humans and orcs fighting for actual control of the continent at that time, but fortunately she didn't know that Ryan was also involved in that battle at that time, and even one of the most successful people in that battle, otherwise Vivien would have pestered Ryan desperately at night, of course, pestering Ryan to tell her the story of the war at that time.

Although there are many places in the current imperial capital that 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 with the imperial capital, of course, it is impossible for him to take the initiative to be a guide, after all, it is easy to expose his identity.

Therefore, Ryan brought Vivian, Adams, Barbara, and the new Sophie, accompanied by 2 subordinates who had been stationed in the imperial capital before, and walked around some major locations in the imperial capital at will, in order not to attract attention, Ryan and his party of 10 people all changed into the costumes of ordinary adventurers, pretending to be a mercenary group that came to the imperial capital to participate in the competitive competition, after all, there were many mercenary groups like this in the imperial capital during this time.

Sophie, a new thief at Cassano, looks a little restrained, and now she wears a magic mask on her face, and she looks like the 30-year-old proprietress who used to be in Mori. Adams was very strange about this, because he obviously saw that Ryan came back that night with a very beautiful young woman, how could he become a mature woman in her 30s after a few days, could it be that Ryan also had a hobby in this area? If this is the case, then it is no wonder that Vivien and Adra, the two flowers now known as Cassano Twin Flowers, have not been picked by Ryan.

Ryan didn't know that Adams had a little dirty thought in his head, he had privately checked Sophie's magic mask, to be honest, the workmanship and selection of materials were far inferior to the one he was wearing now, but the mask of the elf Seres was as vivid as his own, and it could completely deceive everyone.

But now Sophie can only follow Ryan as the boss lady of Mori's Spring, because once she reveals her true colors, her beauty will inevitably attract the attention of the killer organization behind her, although Ryan is not afraid of trouble, but she also does not want to get out of the way before she finishes her business.

"Ah, it seems that the beautiful goddess of luck has been watching over me!" Just as Ryan and his party had just left the house, Bard's singing tone appeared in the ears of Ryan and the others: "But in my opinion, your beauty is better than that of Lady Luck, please make me your unique servant, and I can present you with a song that will be passed on forever!"

Bard in front of him seemed to have forgotten Vivian's fierceness yesterday, and followed Ryan and his party to show great hospitality, Ryan really didn't know if he met him by coincidence, or he had been waiting outside for a long time, but Ryan didn't want such a guy to follow behind him, especially Vivian's beauty was difficult to be covered by ordinary adventurer clothes on his body, if Bud walked all the way and shouted all the way, it is estimated that Ryan's play plan will become a plan to be watched, maybe there are other unsightly guys who come up to find cheap, which is a great thing to ruin the interest。

"Get out of here, or I'll send you to your death!" Despite going out for a visit, Vivien was still fully armed, only wearing a cloak on the outside to disguise herself, and when she saw that Bard was causing trouble again, she drew her scimitar.

"Oh, don't do that!" Bard hurriedly defended himself, "How can we say that we once took risks together and saved a girl who was captured by a demon, do you want to poison your companion who once lived and died together?"

"You!" Vivien was about to reprimand Bard when Ryan spoke, "Maybe you should know that there is a lot of magic that can make a person speechless, and it just so happens that I can do that or two......"

Bard certainly heard the intimidation in Ryan's words, and he quickly closed his mouth. Seeing that Bard understood what he meant, Ryan nodded with satisfaction, and then said to him: "From the small town of Mori to the imperial capital, you have followed us, if you don't want us to misunderstand you, please explain this matter first." ”

Bud was startled, he thought that his means of concealing his whereabouts were excellent, but the other party knew his whereabouts well, which made Bud a little discouraged, just thinking that he was a familiar but not proficient bard, Bud quickly regained his cheerful mood, and he quickly said to Ryan: " Thank you very much for giving me such an opportunity to speak, I am sure you also know that I am a bard, and in general, people like us follow behind a powerful adventurer, solve his worries, follow him through various adventures, and then make up poems to recite ......"

"I don't think so. Ryan shook his head and said to Bard, whose face had turned pale because of this, "I don't need those worldly fame and fortune, or you can change your goal. ”

"Oh, hear me out!" Bud knew that his chances were mostly gone, but he still grasped the last little gap in an attempt to convince Ryan: "I'm not a good-for-nothing guy, I can do anything, I know a lot of people don't want to show off, and now it seems that you are one of them, but you are not a simple adventurer!"

"Oh?" Ryan raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and Bard saw that Ryan was interested in his words, and hurriedly continued: "Please forgive my presumptuousness, in fact, the latest and most important news on the continent recently is about the unification of Cassano, and those sheriffs have released portraits of you and your right-hand men in and around the imperial capital, supposedly to avoid conflict with you. ”

"Oh, of course you're not afraid of a little sheriff, I'm just going to explain how I know who you are. Bard continued: "It seems to me that Cassano is a very small place, but its geographical location is important, especially since you have only brought one maid, and it can be said that there are certainly not enough people at the moment. And I, I know a lot of things, but everything is sparse, it is difficult to grab any good tasks with other mercenaries, but after I stepped into the imperial capital area, because I saw your portrait by chance, and also knew your identity, I thought, instead of going on like this, it is better to take refuge in you, an emerging force, if I can get your trust, I can probably be a little steward, at least worry-free. ”

"You're pretty straightforward!" Ryan nodded, believing Bud's words seventy percent of the time.

"Thank you for your understanding, in fact, the vast majority of people on this continent are busy every day just to eat. Bud said, "I'm one of the vast majority of people, and of course I'm thinking about myself." As for Ms. Vivien, I'm sorry I can't find any excuse to get close to you, and besides, Ms. Vivien is a goddess to me. ”

"We do lack people, but we don't lack people like you, who can only say you can't do. Of course, Vivien didn't want Ryan's subordinates to harass others all day long, so she refused, saying, "And what I hate the most is that you do something inexplicable for the purpose of justice at every turn, which will cause us trouble, a lot of trouble." ”

The bearded Bard smiled wryly at Vivien, and then his eyes were fixed on Ryan, who of course knew who was the leader of the group. A lonely look appeared on Bud's face, and his tone of voice became deeper: "Every child is pure in heart, so most of them will worship the omnipotent hero. Behold, a knight on a white horse slew an evil red dragon alone, and rescued the princess who had been taken by the red dragon, and then the knight and the princess lived happily together......"

"I never denied that this was my childhood dream, but unfortunately when I grew up, I realized that if a king had a choice, he would definitely marry his woman to the evil red dragon, not some knight who claimed to be righteous. My childhood dreams were sweet, but when I grew up, the reality was cruel, couldn't I have a moment of intoxication? Even if I deceived myself in my heart. ”

"When I was a kid, I used to fantasize about being a legendary hero, and when I grew up, I realized that it was impossible, so my only choice now is to follow a hero who might become a legend. Bard shrugged his shoulders and said, "Following in the footsteps of heroes, seeing with my eyes, writing with my hands what I see, and then singing what I write with my mouth, that's what I want now." ”

Listening to Bud's words, Ryan was silent, he was willing to follow Galib to learn martial arts, wasn't it also for his childhood dream? Ryan still remembers how much he paid at that time, other children of the same age can play happily, but Ryan has to carry a wooden stake heavier than his body to run on the path of the Hengduan Mountains, and other boys and girls of the same age are together, but Ryan has to stare wide-eyed and desperately recite awkward magic spells......

After a few minutes of silence, Ryan suddenly spoke: "Why did you choose me? You also said that Cassano's current power is almost the smallest one, and you should have more choices." ”

Bard smiled slightly, he swept his beard, and replied with a wide mouth: "A god, since his mortal days, has followed him step by step until he was promoted to the god of the gods, and finally became the servant of this god, and the person who goes to praise this god after he becomes a god can only be a believer." ”

Ryan and Bud looked at each other and smiled, and at the same time Ryan held out his right hand and said to Bud, "Cassano welcomes you, Bud. ”
