Chapter 169: Initiation

Like the selection of magic apprentices, Ryan no longer has to be personally responsible, he left this matter to Barbara to deal with, now Barbara is no longer the humble little maid before, her status in the entire Cassano is almost only under Vivian, Adams and a few other people, although she does not have much power, but as Ryan's first student, she can always accept Ryan's teachings, maybe in a few years, there will be a new legendary mage in the human race.

It has been more than ten days since the defensive battle of the Iron Fist Castle, and the scouts sent out by Ryan have also returned one after another, according to the information they brought, Mochizuki City, Free Heaven, Imperial Capital and other important cities of mankind have been attacked by the undead legion to varying degrees, but because everyone has been prepared for a long time, although the pressure has increased greatly after being attacked, but several hub cities are safe and sound, but only the Cassano region has successfully defeated the invading undead legion, and the gunpowder smoke in several other cities has not dispersed.

Among them, the pressure on the imperial capital was the greatest, ten times the strength of the undead army of Bailey, the Frost Bone Dragon, the Dark Rune Knight, and the Giant Bone Golem...... Although the forces of the Undead Legion have not yet reached the walls of Fernando City, they have also relied on dark magic and a large number of troops to successfully cut off the connection between the imperial capital and the south, which is why Cassano's teleportation magic array has never been able to communicate with the imperial capital.

Although the human race is currently on the absolute defensive, the strength of the undead legion has never been able to form an overwhelming advantage in any one battlefield because it has been divided into various battlefields, which makes Ryan feel extremely confused, if he is replaced by the commander of this undead legion, he will definitely use part of his strength to drag down the pace of the imperial capital, the strongest force of mankind, and take the opportunity to gather the main force to storm the weakest city in the human side, in order to weaken the opponent's strength as much as possible.

"There's a conspiracy, there's definitely something wrong with this!" This point has been thinking about in Ryan's mind for a long time, but he has never guessed what the commander of the undead legion Nicholas is doing, not only Ryan, but the elf queen Freya is also puzzled, in order to prevent accidents, Freya endures the pain of lovesickness and sits in the Demon Moon City, and they only open a teleportation magic array for a few minutes every day to exchange information with each other, and by the way, comfort their inner thoughts.

"Speaking of which, Alendor is happy, he doesn't care about anything, and stays directly by Shaina's side. As soon as Ryan thought of his good friend, he felt a little indignant in his heart, why should everyone be the lord of Cassano, why should he bother to work hard, while Alendor could be by Shaina and their son's side, this is really unfair.

However, speaking of Allendo's child with a pair of pointed ears, Ryan has a lot of love in his heart, after inheriting the different bloodlines between Elendor and Shaina, this half-elf baby who was born just now has shown great talent, and I believe that when he grows up and undergoes rigorous training, he will definitely become an excellent warrior, even if he breaks through the legendary realm, it is not unusual, which makes Ryan's heart jealous, because the son born to him and Vivian will only sleep until now, and it doesn't seem to reflect anything particularly outstanding。

Thinking of his child, Ryan's mood suddenly became much more relaxed, and the troubles that plagued him were also left behind, and at this time, the door was pushed open, and a large group of people such as Vivien, Adela, and Adams walked in one after another. Ryan was slightly stunned, then turned his head to look at the hourglass on the table, only to find that it was almost noon, and at this time yesterday he seemed to ask everyone to have a meeting to report on Cassano's post-war recovery, thinking of this, Ryan showed a confident smile, slowly walked back to the room, pulled a chair at the round table and sat down.

The use of the round table itself did not want to bring too much hierarchy into Cassano's management, so everyone sat casually in every such meeting. Once everyone was seated, the meeting would naturally begin. There weren't many things to talk about in the whole meeting, but there were too many details to be finalized, and there were no fewer of them that had to be decided by Ryan himself, and by the time the meeting was completely over, it was already the second half of the night.

Ryan sat in the empty room with a wry smile, one hand kept comforting the stomach that had already protested, although he had long felt hungry, but seeing everyone's attentive look, he really couldn't bear to interrupt everyone's enthusiasm, and the most direct price was that he was unlucky, and this incident also made Ryan secretly swear in his heart that he would never have any more meetings before meals in the future, if the time was changed to after lunch, at least he wouldn't have to be hungry for two meals so badly.

Ryan, who was thinking about something, suddenly had a twitch in his nose, because he smelled the rich fragrance coming from the air, so Ryan blurted out: "Vivien's barbecue!"

"Hee-hee, Ryan has such a good nose, if you lose anything in Iron Fist Castle in the future, you just need to find it if you smell it. Vivien, who was smiling, walked in with a large wooden plate, and although it was covered with a metal lid, the aroma of the food inside was irresistible to the hungry Ryan.

"Ryan, you're so biased, and me. Adela followed closely behind Vivien, who also carried a large wooden plate, but on it was some new dishes, and a large glass of water.

Ryan was suddenly overjoyed, he couldn't wait to jump up, stopped the thin waist of one person with one hand, and then gave them a long kiss on the lips, but the two women put down the wooden plate in their hands with a flushed face, and Ryan himself scratched his head embarrassedly, because Vivian didn't come by herself, and there were a lot of people behind them, and as a result, the intimate scene between Ryan and the two women was all seen by these subordinates, and it was no wonder that the two of them blushed.

Ryan glared at the maids with strange expressions on their faces and said, "Don't say anything about it, or I'll turn you into little sheep, and I'll never turn you back." Originally, this sentence was the classic line of those evil wizards in the legend, and many of the negative protagonists in the story said this, but it is a pity that Ryan usually has a humble personality and treats his subordinates very leniently, but his vicious words not only did not have an effect, but caused a lot of laughter, and a maid who had followed Adela for a long time had the courage to joke with Ryan: "I'm so afraid, our mistress used to be a lion, but now she is much more docile than a sheep!" The maid's words caused another burst of laughter, and Ryan, seeing that his threat had no effect, shrugged his shoulders and gave up the plan, but when all the dinner was set, Ryan stood up and blasted the others out, leaving time and space for the two girls.

"Well, do you think I'm a failure as a lord, why aren't you afraid of me?" Ryan said to himself as he ate the meat that Vivien had roasted for him.

"Hmph, how can others not be afraid of you? You don't know, Ryan, among the top ten most popular bedtime stories in the mainland, your chance of appearing has been increased to the fourth, and those children who don't want to sleep are all cowered under the quilt after listening to the killing deeds of your 'bloody hand butcher', if they don't sleep, they will be captured and eaten by you!" said Adela with a smile.

"Uh, this is a slander, isn't it?" Ryan smiled wryly, of course he knew about it, and he knew that the three men in front of him were the evil lord Aleister Kasravin, the demigod Lich Conse, and the Alexander Andrew King who had fought and killed countless people throughout his life. Thinking that he was only below these three guys, and that there was a clear upward trend in the rankings, the only thing Ryan could do was to smile bitterly.

"Haha, it's actually nothing, it's a good thing to have such a reputation and a certain situation. Vivien said disapprovingly, "General Orlando may be more famous than you, but there are not as many people who are afraid of him. If nothing else, your revenge alone is enough to make countless people shudder, and what about General Orlando, even though his wife's mansion was destroyed, he finally chose to forgive, but fortunately Mrs. Sophie was safe and sound. ”

"That's it. Adela also added: "And it's not very good, at least you don't have to put a lot of pressure on the people around you, but let everyone have a kind of dependence and trust in you, willing to talk to you, willing to joke with you, this is actually something that many people dream of." Did you know, Ryan, when you went to Dragon Island, when the Undead Legion launched an attack on Cassano, many of the residents who had already been evacuated took up arms to join the battle to encircle their homes, and they all knew that they would pay with their lives, but no one flinched. Isn't it because of your charisma?"

In fact, Ryan didn't have any special thoughts in his heart at all, he just said it casually, but it still made Ryan happy to hear such an evaluation, delicious food, alcohol, women, and pleasant topics, which made Ryan's heart begin to move, Vivian and Adela glanced at each other, the gaze in their eyes revealed a trace of shyness, and the meaning expressed in Ryan's gaze naturally made them know, but Ryan only has one, but they are two good sisters, how to divide it? You can't always ...... together That's just a shame.

"Bang!" came a loud bang, and the door was kicked open, and the beautiful scenery in the room was also kicked away. The person who rushed into the house in such a hurry was Barbara, and she also brought terrible news: "The dwarf kingdom is surrounded by the undead legions, and the dwarven king Reynolds was ambushed by the undead legions on the way back to Blackstone City, and his life and death are now unknown!"
