Soon it was early November, and it was only 20 days before the registration for this Atlético Royale tournament was completed, so Ryan finally got out of the territory construction in full swing and began to prepare for this trip.

As the guard of the Moon Temple, Celes naturally has to follow, after all, if a battle breaks out, with Celence there, Lane can also have one more helper, so the training of the entire archer unit is temporarily handed over to Letoz, who already knows Cerres's true identity, and naturally swears that he will definitely train those shooters according to the plan made by Cerres.

In order to create an image of a Cassano overlord, Ryan went to the imperial capital this time with great fanfare, he brought a huge team of more than 50 people, these people are carefully selected from the three elite troops of Cassano that have not been formed for a long time, with their existence, I believe that it is difficult for others to associate the current Ryan with the young man who was born in a civilian back then.

After Ryan used the amethyst to make a magic ornament for her, Barbara took it with her all day to meditate, and the arcane energy in her body grew rapidly, and now Barbara can skillfully release magic missiles.

Of course, Alendor and Shayna were also in the team, but when they marched to the Valo Mountains, the two quietly separated from Ryan and took another road to the imperial capital first, while Ryan slowly traveled north with great momentum.

Since the orcs attacked the imperial capital, the situation on the mainland has gradually become out of the control of the imperial capital, it can be said that there are thieves everywhere, and if you don't go out in a group, your life may be in danger at any time, which also makes the mercenary's life more and more enjoyable.

Ryan also encountered a lot of thieves along the way, but under the protection of Cassano's selected guards, Ryan didn't even get out of his carriage at all, and those thieves who didn't open their eyes were easily put down, and even Vivien and Barbara played a game with great interest.

In order to show the demeanor of the aristocracy, Ryan and his family will stay in the best inn every time they go to a larger city, and enjoy the best local food, but Vivien is still not satisfied with Ryan's performance, because although Ryan pretends to be arrogant on the surface, he actually does not do anything too excessive, unlike those real gentlemen who are exposed to scandals such as robbing women from time to time.

Time passed day by day, Lane and they were getting closer and closer to the imperial capital, this day Lane and his party arrived at the transportation hub of the southern part of the imperial capital, Mori Town, where it was more than a day's journey to the north, and it was the only way to go to the imperial capital in cities such as Saike City in the south of the continent.

Although the town of Mori is called a small town, it is much larger than the Iron Fist Castle, and it was originally just a small town, but after many years of north-south trade and exchanges, it gradually gathered popularity and became a real "big town". Ryan's group of more than 50 people was also very easy to settle down, and Vivian came forward to directly charter a hotel and solve the problem of accommodation.

It is still nearly seven days before the deadline for registration, and at most 5 days from Mori to the imperial capital, the time is quite rich, so Ryan and their mood are very relaxed. After dinner, Ryan takes Vivien and Barbara on a tour of the small town of Maury.

Compared with big cities such as the Imperial Capital and Paradise of Freedom, the most impressive thing about Mori City is the number of inns that are as many as cows, no way, who said that the number of merchants and mercenaries here far exceeds the number of aborigines in Mori Town. However, the merchants and mercenaries who stayed here were all in a hurry, and they had no intention of wandering around here, so Ryan took Vivien and Barbara around for a long time, but found that there was no pastime at all, as long as he chose the simplest and most primitive kind, which was to go to the bar.

The favorite place of the mercenaries from the south to the north is the bar, where they drink a few large glasses of spirits after a hard day's work, brag and talk about women, and if they are willing to pay a certain price, maybe there are women who throw themselves into their arms, and they can enjoy a good night, so when the three of them walked into the bar called "Mori's Spring", they were startled by the mercenaries full of them.

I have to say that the name "Mori Spring" is full of reverie, and the owner who runs this bar is actually a beautiful woman in her 30s, but this is enough to attract those mercenaries who want to get into it. Ryan didn't have any of these thoughts, and he and Vivian and Barbara found a secluded spot in the crowded bar and reluctantly sat down.

Seeing that there were new guests coming to the door, the landlady naturally wanted to be courteous, she first introduced herself, and then enthusiastically recommended all kinds of spirits in the bar to Ryan, and also misled Ryan with quite ambiguous actions and words, so that Ryan could pay a lot of money because he wanted to get into it.

Ryan has seen such a woman, just ordered a few random things and sent her away, and the proprietress named "Sophie" left a little disappointed, and after a while all the things Ryan ordered, and then never came to deal with Ryan and the three, maybe in her opinion, Ryan and they were just a few guys who sneaked out to have fun, and they didn't have the courage to have no gold coins.

Without anyone else to disturb them, Ryan and the three of them sat leisurely in a secluded corner, enjoying this rare leisure, while Barbara was still the first time to come to this kind of occasion, so she was naturally full of curiosity, while Vivian and Ryan chatted casually, and then they could listen attentively to the conversations of the other mercenaries in the bar in order to obtain more information.

"Hey, you've heard, the wool in the south has risen by 5 percent!"

"Oh, is it true? Isn't our boss going to get rich this time?

......

"Hehe, that girl was really excited last night, but it's a pity that the asking price is too expensive. ”

"You, sooner or later, you will die on a woman!"

......

"Damn, that Tempest Mercenary Group is so arrogant, it actually stretched out its hand to the Heaven of Freedom, which still doesn't let us live!"

"Okay, who made them rich and people? Free Heaven is not your family, and they follow the rules, even the merchant federation doesn't say anything, what else can you do?"

"I said, when this trip is over, we might as well try our luck on the Hurricane's side, I heard that they are hiring. ”

......

"Do you know? I heard that this royal athletic tournament is for the archons of the empire, and that chick is not a man yet, and it is said that she will choose her husband from this competitive tournament. ”

"Ah, if I am chosen, won't I be one step to the sky?"

"Die, it's up to you? If you want to choose, you will choose me. ”

"Hey, I said, is this true? You're not drunk and talking nonsense, are you?"

"Hmph, believe it or not, my uncle is a figure with a face in the imperial capital, and the son of the old man next door to his third cousin's fourth aunt's nephew is an apprentice in the shop opposite Luke's mansion, and I overheard the palace maid who came to buy it. ”

The conversation of several mercenaries next to him attracted the attention of Ryan and Vivian, and after listening carefully to them after telling the whole story, Ryan finally learned that he didn't know when, there was such a rumor, Farath, who inherited his father's position and became the archon of the empire 3 years ago, has always been single, I don't know how, in the imperial capital began to spread rumors that she would choose her husband in this competitive competition, not only that, the characters who can enter the finals of this competitive competition will be reused by the imperial capital, and the final winner will even have the opportunity to have dinner with Her Majesty。

After hearing this rumor, Vivien couldn't help but rush up to teach those nonsense mercenaries a lesson, but Ryan shook his head slightly to stop her, Ryan didn't believe that Farath would do anything to be sorry for himself, as if he hadn't done anything to be sorry for Farath so far, as for how others want to spread it, let them go.

However, for this year's competition, Ryan guessed the intention of the imperial capital, since the orcs attacked the imperial capital, the competitive competition held every year for 200 years has stopped. This year's re-operation and the restoration of the original rules may mean that the imperial capital has passed the most dangerous juncture, and at the same time, it can also use this opportunity to re-establish the prestige of the imperial capital, and can also use it to select talents, which can be said to kill multiple birds with one stone.

It's just that Ryan still doesn't know whether the Royal Knights and the Royal Wizard Academy will send personnel to participate, and participate in the competition in their personal name, whether the warriors and magicians will compete in the same field, and other details, but I believe that since the imperial capital dares to hold such a grand event with great fanfare, there will inevitably be many measures to ensure that their side has an advantage, and Senat and other unscrupulous lords may take advantage of this opportunity to wreak havoc on the prestige of the imperial capital, and it seems that the game will be very exciting at that time.

Just as Ryan was lost in thought, the door of "Mori's Spring" was kicked open, and a loud bang almost caught the attention of everyone in the bar, and Ryan was no exception, and when he turned his gaze to the door, he saw a burly man at a glance.

The man had a full beard, his age was indistinguishable, he was dressed in a clean adventurer's attire, and he actually carried a long sword in his hand. After seeing that he had attracted the attention of everyone present, the man shouted angrily: "Bah, evil Gadir, you escaped from Elfa's prison and dared to rob merchants along the way, killing at least seven people. Now that you have no way out, hurry up and accept my righteous judgment!"
