"Honorary Elder?" The term left Fairly scratching her head.

"Nominally, I am the elder of the Osedon family, and when facing outsiders, I am the elder of the Osedon family, but once the Osedon family develops steadily, I will not be the elder of the family." Ryan still didn't want to be tied to death on the big tree of the Oseidons.

"Big Brother Ryan." Philley was about to say something, but was quickly interrupted by Ryan.

"Fairly, Gaudí, it's not that I don't want to help you. It's just that, after all, I'm not a member of the Osedon family, and I can't stay in the Osedon family for the rest of my life. Of course, I will do my best to help you maintain the Ossedon family, and if I advance to the level 7 sword master, when I have enough strength, I will also avenge your father. But when the time is right, I will leave the Osedon family. ”

Speaking of which, Fairly and Gaudí couldn't be forced any longer, in their opinion, Ryan was a very good and good person, and they were not related to them, but they helped them so much.

After daybreak, the lord of the city came in person, and also led a team of guards to investigate the assassination of Count Vic. Although the Osedon family has declined, the assassination of Count Vik, as the hereditary count of the empire, is a very big deal, and it is impossible for the city lord not to deal with it himself.

As the elder of the family, Ryan and the Fairly siblings received the lord of the castle and described some of the characteristics of the Assassin to the lord. However, due to the Assassin's mask, Ryan was unable to provide any useful information, other than the fact that the Assassin was a level 7 swordsman.

Eventually, Ryan told the lord about some of the most powerful families who bullied the Oseidons. Although Ryan doesn't know who is behind the murder, it doesn't prevent him from telling the city lord who is the most suspicious. Of course, it is difficult to investigate who the murderer is, but Ryan's purpose is obvious, through the city lord to put some pressure on these families, so that these families can avoid suspicion in the following days. Don't dare to blatantly bully the Osedon family.

At the time of leaving, the face of the city lord became very ugly, originally. He just wanted to investigate casually and perfunctory the Osedon family, even if the case was closed. Try not to offend other families, and then minimize the impact of the hereditary earl's assassination. After all, the Ossedons family has already declined, and there is no need for him to offend others for the sake of a declining family. However, Ryan gave him a difficult problem, as if he wanted to force him to investigate carefully, and seeing Ryan's posture of not giving up until he caught the murderer, he couldn't be perfunctory at all. Fortunately, the city lord had to ask a few families who had enmity with the Osedon family, and it would be easy to offend these families by doing so.

It doesn't take a day. Throughout the city of Farr, news of the assassination of Count Vic was heard. However, those who are concerned about this matter are more concerned about when the Osedon family will perish, especially those commoners who are born with a deep hatred for the nobility. As for who the murderer is, there are also many people who are concerned. But these people are concerned about what family is so bold and what further actions they will have.

Next, some of Count Vic's friends came to the door to see Count Vic for the last time and comfort the Filly siblings. These friends of Count Vic are all people who have no power and strength, and the one with the highest rank among them. It's just a baron, and the most powerful of them is a level 6 swordsman in his forties who has no hope of being promoted, and most of them are civilian friends. They expressed great anger at the death of Count Vic, but had nothing to do about pursuing the murderer.

Ryan has been accompanying the Fairie siblings and receiving these people who came to visit, and these people did not have much opinion about Ryan, the elder who suddenly appeared and was going to lead the development of the Oseidon family in the future, but just sighed lightly, and seemed not optimistic about Ryan and the future of the Osedon family.

In addition to some of Count Vic's friends, creditors also came to the door, for fear that after Count Vic's death, no one would pay back the money. Ryan didn't bother to pay attention to these people, and directly took out the gold coins to pay back the money, and then asked Aberdeen Butler to drive people out directly. Fortunately, although the number of these creditors is large, reaching more than twenty, the number of gold coins owed by Count Vic is not much, adding up to just over two thousand gold coins, otherwise Ryan's net worth will be emptied.

To a great surprise, only a few of the relatives of the Osedon family came to visit. Although there are not many relatives of the Osedon family now, there are still some of them, especially the two cousins who left the family after failing to fight with Count Vik for the patriarch, and they did not come to the door. I don't know if they didn't hear about Count Vic's death, or if they didn't want to come to the door. The Fieldie siblings didn't mind this at all, because they had heard their father say that they had torn their faces when they fought for the patriarch back then, and they had not been in touch for a long time.

Subsequently, with the help of several temple priests invited by Aberdeen's butler, Count Vic's funeral was quickly prepared. As for the burial place, the Osedian family has a cemetery dedicated to the burial of their clansmen, where all the deceased clansmen can be buried together.

The funeral went on quickly and was very simple and low-key. With the consent of the Fieldie siblings, no one other than a visiting friend was invited to attend. After all, Count Vic died under the assassination, and it is a bit of a wimp to say it, so it is better to handle the funeral in a low-key manner.

The city lord sent someone to participate, but this time he didn't come in person, and it seemed that he was still worried about being calculated by Ryan before.

Then, halfway through the funeral, an unexpected person suddenly arrived.

"Hahaha! Unexpectedly, Vic's brother died young, which is really sad and regrettable! "A fat man with an incomparably large belly, a small stature, about forty years old, with more than a dozen swordsmen, approached the Osedon family cemetery with a big laugh. Looking at his expression, there was no sadness at all, on the contrary, there was some smile.

Ryan couldn't help frowning, the person in front of him came to the door so arrogantly, purely to make trouble, purely to hit the face of the Osedon family. Just imagine, at someone else's funeral, laughing and coming, what else could it be if you didn't come to make trouble?

However, Ryan still held back his anger and didn't have an attack for a while, and he already had some guesses about who was coming.

"Brother Ryan, this fat man is Count Ahan." Fieldie, who was on the side, said through gritted teeth.

Gaudi, on the other side, seemed to want to rush out, but he only took one step before Ryan grabbed his shoulder, and he looked back at Ryan with infinite anger in his eyes.

"Not now! Come back when you're stronger! Ryan shook his head and whispered.

After a while, Gaudí quieted down, and he agreed with Ryan's statement.

"Don't talk, you two, I'll take care of everything." Ryan whispered to Fairy and Gaudí before walking towards the oncoming Count of Ahan.

Ryan had only used Count Ahan as the main suspect in the assassination of Count Vic, and now it is almost certain that Count Ahan instructed the assassination. Because at the critical moment when the city lord was investigating, the other families did not dare to come to the door at this time in order to avoid suspicion. Only this Count of Ahan, known as the most arrogant and domineering Earl in Far, did not take the Ossedons family in his eyes at all, nor was he afraid of people treating him as a murderer, and brazenly came to Count Vik's funeral to make trouble.

"Who is Your Excellency? Today is the funeral of the patriarch of our family, and no guests are entertained. Ryan blocked Count Ahan's way, although his words were not rude, but anyone could feel the coldness in them.

Count Ahan didn't answer, and after staring at Ryan for a moment, he sneered and said, "Who are you?" When will it be your turn to take care of the affairs of the Osedon family? ”

The words are quite domineering, which shows that the arrogance and domineering of Count Ahan is well deserved.

"Since Your Excellency doesn't say who you are, then please leave, we are not a mess of people here to come in." Ryan did not show weakness, at this moment, he could not weaken his momentum, once he was suppressed by Earl Ahan and answered the other party's words, then he would be passive next.

"Presumptuous! When you see Count Ahan, don't you hurry up and salute. Count Ahan was stunned and did not speak, but one of the swordsmen beside him shouted.

Ryan turned his head to look at the swordsman, and found that the other party's sharp eyes were extremely sharp, and there was a sense of familiarity. Rui Anzhong couldn't help but wonder if this swordsman was the assassin who came to assassinate him that night?

However, Ryan didn't pay attention to the swordsman's words, but said sharply, "Count Ahan? Isn't it the suspect who made the murderer assassinate our patriarch? Wasn't he arrested by the city lord for questioning? How dare you come out and walk around? After saying that, Ryan glanced back at the official sent by the city lord, which immediately made the official extremely embarrassed.

Ryan's words were suddenly like a stone thrown into the lake, causing countless ripples, and the people who came to the funeral all made an uproar. When Count Ahan first arrived, these people were very disgusted, but because of Count Ahan's power, they dared not speak out. At this moment, stimulated by Ryan's words, people opened their mouths to condemn and curse. However, these people only dared to scold when everyone scolded together, and if they were alone, they would not dare to scold, for fear of revenge from Count Ahan.

Count Ahan was stunned at first, and then became furious, he came to the funeral this time, the purpose was to humiliate the Osedon family and completely suppress the Osedon family. Unexpectedly, Ryan, who suddenly appeared more than a month ago, was stunned and accused him of being a murderer, which made him so embarrassed. However, Count Ahan didn't dare to admit it, once he admitted that he had instructed someone to assassinate Count Vic, then he would be fine now, Ryan couldn't help him, but then the official officials of the Kaoya Empire would definitely make trouble for him, very big trouble.

"You talk nonsense! You're slandering me! That night, the elders of my family and I were at the ball, and many of us can attest that we didn't leave at that time. Count Ahan exclaimed with some irritation. (To be continued.) )
