Chapter Seventy-Six: The Situation in the Imperial Capital (3)

Ryan listens to Larry introduce himself. also took the initiative to say: "Hello, my name is Ryan, and we are both from a mercenary group." ”

Larry nodded, smiled at the four of them, and said, "Come in and sit for a while, they'll have to walk for a while." ”

Ryan thought for a while, and then agreed: "Then thank you, just when you are tired of walking, take a rest." ”

The four of them followed Larry to the inside of the shop, which was an antique shop, and Ryan and the others looked around and found that there were quite a few things outside. Although Faras is not good at these things, his father Luke is the biggest official in the empire, and even if he doesn't buy it, his subordinates will send a lot of it.

Officials generally give gifts rarely give gold coins such things, first, a large number of gold coins are too heavy, but also a lot, inconvenient to store, and second, in case something happens, you can't shirk it at all, and send antiques and the like is much better, the value is high and easy to preserve, and more importantly, if it is found out, you can shirk it with personal hobbies, and if it is really not good, you will say that it is a fake, although it generally seems that I have not heard of a subordinate who sent a fake when he sent something to his superiors.

Therefore, Faras has been accustomed to seeing these things since he was a child, and he will naturally have a higher vision, and he will not be able to look down on those who are too poor. Larry's decades of experience naturally understood Farath's thoughts, so he explained with a smile: "Actually, the really good things don't put out on the outside, they are all worthless things." I mainly rely on the officials and nobles of these empires, and only they can afford to buy things that cost tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands. ”

Ryan nodded, his eyes swept over these small things, and sure enough, as Larry said, they were all old rings, ornaments and other things, and in one corner there were two sets of armor made in an unknown era, which had been slightly damaged, and there were several oil paintings hanging on the wall, the painting was average, even if Ryan didn't know anything about it, he could see that these paintings were far inferior to what he saw in the palace.

Ryan smiled self-deprecatingly, comparing an ordinary antique shop to the treasures in the palace? Ryan casually picked up an old ring and looked at it casually, this ring was made of bronze, but the style looked a little familiar. Ryan wondered in his heart, he began to remember where he had seen something similar to this ring?

"Ahh Ryan suddenly burst out, he remembered the ring on Bart's hand, the style was very similar to this, Ryan hurriedly took out Bart's ring from his body, and compared it together, the two were indeed somewhat similar in style, and the luster of the appearance was similar.

Larry's eyes were sharp, and he could see the style of the ring that Ryan took out clearly, and he smiled and said, "Hey, you should have bought this ring from me?"

Ryan hurriedly asked, "Do you remember this ring?"

Larry nodded and said, "Of course, you have to know that my kind of business usually doesn't have customers every day, and many times it only sells one thing a month." It's been a long time, though, so let me think about it. ”

Ryan and the others looked at Larry quietly, everyone had a look of anticipation on their faces, and no one expected to find a clue here.

"Ah, I remember, it was a young man who bought this ring, well, I was very impressed with him, he picked it out with me for a long time, and it took me half a day to bargain with me. This young man, hey, just a few dozen silver coins, as for it?"

Ryan and the other four were all overjoyed, and Ryan continued to ask, "Do you know the young man who bought this ring, and do you know where he lives, or where his tailor's shop is?"

"How did you know he was in the tailor's shop?" asked Larry, curiously, "I only found out by chance later." ”

"Do you know where that tailor's shop is?"

Larry shook his head and said, "If you're looking for that young man, I don't know where he's gone, I've heard he's gone north." As for the tailor's shop, it's closed. ”

"How so?"

Larry looked at the door, didn't find anyone, and whispered, "Some time ago, His Majesty got married, you should know about it, right?"

Ryan and the others nodded together, even if they were not in the imperial capital, how could they not know such a big thing.

"What about the tailor shop, the craftsmanship has always been good in the imperial capital, Your Majesty's wedding, because the time is too tight, the tailors in the palace are too busy, so I asked the tailors of several tailor shops in the imperial capital to help, and the tailor shop you are looking for is also among them. ”

"Ah, so they're in the palace?" asked Faras.

Larry shook his head and said, "Hey, how do you say this?" On the night of His Majesty's wedding, he died a mysterious death" Speaking of this, Larry desperately lowered his voice: "It is said that someone rebelled, and the entire palace and the imperial capital were in chaos that night, and the rich area was basically burned to the ground, and then after dawn, many people disappeared mysteriously, and the tailor of the tailor shop you were looking for, as well as his daughter, don't know where to go, hey!"

Hearing this news, Ryan's heart sank, if Josa died in the ** that night, it is estimated that he would not even be able to find the body. Faras also felt a little uncomfortable, after all, her father Luke was also involved that night, and many things could not have happened without Luke's acquiescence or even intentionally sending someone to do it, such as the fire in the rich area.

Ryan said to Larry disappointed, "Thank you then, we still have something to do, let's go first." ”

Larry didn't hold back, but he stood up and whispered in Ryan's ear, "Don't spread what I just said." During this time, the imperial capital is quite chaotic, it's okay or don't come out, if you can leave here quickly, let's leave quickly. ”

Ryan and the other four walked out, and Farass said to Ryan cautiously with a worried face: "Maybe, maybe she's okay, she's just hiding somewhere." ”

Ryan took a deep breath and looked at Faras, not sure what to say. Even putting aside the relationship between Faras and himself, Luke is also very good to Ryan, and if it is a friendship, Ryan knows Luke much earlier than Bart.

"Hey, what should I do now?" said Ryan with a sigh.

"There may be something wrong with Josa!" Flanna said suddenly. Hearing this, Ryan raised his head, looked at him, and said, "You don't have to comfort me. "No!" Flanner interrupted Ryan with a very affirmative word, and continued, "How did the Emperor die?" Lord Luke said vaguely, but we all knew it in our hearts. Do you think that when the ruler of an empire is assassinated, those who are temporarily recruited into the palace are not suspicious? Who can guarantee that Josa is not an assassin? Why should we investigate it in detail?"

"Then it won't take that long, right?" Ryan counted the time, and then said, "It's been almost a month, how can I find out something?"

Franner smiled bitterly and said: "Ryan, now those guys don't pay attention to this at all, it doesn't matter to them how Fernando XIII died, the key is that he died, and that's enough." Now the question is who will be Fernando XIV! As for the few tailors, they will be locked up, and even if they are secretly killed, maybe they will be reported to die of a violent illness and buried. ”

The four of them looked at each other, and Franner's words could be said to be the key to the whole thing, if everything was as Franna said, then Josa's matter would be very troublesome, because once it comes to the killing of the ruler of the empire, many things become tricky, and if Ryan and they get Josa out through Luke's connections, there is no guarantee that someone will use this matter against Luke in the future.

"Why don't I talk to my father in the evening?" Faraz saw that Ryan's face was really bad, so she whispered, "Maybe it's not too much of a problem." ”

"No, absolutely not!" Flanner immediately stopped, "Actually, you and I both know what does an ordinary tailor have to do with it?" but we can't let Luke be passive because of this trivial matter, especially now that the empire is in crisis, if Luke is suspected of being the mastermind behind it because of Josha, the consequences will be extremely serious. ”

Ryan sighed and said, "I promised Bart that I would take good care of Yosha, so if Josa is still alive, I will definitely rescue her and let her have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of her life." But what Franner said has a point, I think so, Fani, you and Uncle Luke, ask him to strengthen his guardianship of those tailors, and not let them suffer. Once the orcs are defeated, we'll figure it out slowly. ”

"You, do you want to see her?" Faras saw Ryan's dejected look and asked, "It shouldn't be a problem to see her?"

"No!" Ryan refused without even thinking about it, "Meet, what do I say, tell her that Bart is dead? Now that the enemy is present, my previous actions were a little too capricious. But thank you so much for always being there for me. ”

Franner laughed and said, "Hehe, Ryan, you know what?"

"What?"

"Ryan, although you are not yet 20 years old, you can talk and act like an old man with decades of human experience, and your strength is far beyond your peers, I guess even if a magician-level magician fights you face-to-face, it may not be your opponent, your smooth magic is too perverted!" I don't know how your teachers trained you, but I'm sure you definitely put in the hard work and sweat. ”
