The most conspicuous place of the short sword is where the hilt connects to the sword body, a large inlay with a high-grade magic crystal nucleus embedded in it. This is a very standard style of magic sword, but the hilt of the sword body is much shorter than the standard longsword style.

The body of the short sword is seven inches long, and with the five-inch hilt, the total length is more than a foot long. The sword body is very sharp, Ryan tried it, at least it was the quality of a high-level long sword, but then Ryan entered the fighting qi, but he couldn't push the effect of the magic sword at all.

"This is strange, it stands to reason that as soon as the magic sword enters the fighting qi, there will be some magic reactions more or less, but this short sword has no reaction at all." Ryan then tried to enter it in a magical way, but nothing happened.

"Could it be that the magic array inside this short sword is damaged and cannot inspire magic?" Ryan picked up the magic sword and carefully observed the magic patterns engraved on it, although he was not very familiar with the magic array, but as a level 8 magic master, it was still possible to tell if there was a problem with the magic array on the magic sword.

After a few moments, Ryan was sure that there was nothing wrong with the magic circle on the short sword, and he was sure that the magic array was not the effect of activating ordinary magic swords, but he couldn't confirm what effect the magic array was excitation.

"It seems that I fell into a misunderstanding, and when I saw the style of the short sword being a magic sword, I thought that the short sword was a magic sword. It may pretend to be a magic sword, or even a short sword, but it may actually have other effects. ”

"It's like Kemp. According to the inscription on the hilt of the sword, Ossedon is a key, except that it looks like a short sword. It's easy to explain when you think about it. The high-grade magic crystal nucleus on the short sword provides energy and pushes the magic array. Achieve the function of unlocking. ”

After thinking about it for a long time, according to the long-standing understanding of Kemp. Oseidon's understanding. Especially based on the magic teleportation array in the highest attic of the Oseidon family, Ryan made such a guess, and then the more he thought about it, the more he realized that this was the case.

"So the next question, where is this dagger used?"

"Certainly not among the Ossedons, but with Kemp. Osedon disappeared in connection with the place. Well camp. Where did Osaidon go? ”

"This is a mystery that has plagued the Osedon family for more than three hundred years, and it is basically difficult to solve. But now there is a clue that the St. Andy family, who took out this short sword for auction, is said to have several camps. The belongings that Ossedon carried with him, then the St. Andy family must have known about camp. The mystery of Ossaidon's disappearance. Even if you don't know, at least you know Kemp. The place where Osedon's disappeared. ”

"Want to know more about Kemp. The mystery of Ossaidon's disappearance must be dealt with with the St. Andy's family, who are no more powerful than a money-only merchant like Fliland, and if they can't get along, there will be a fierce battle. ”

Although there may be a tough fight, Ryan is not afraid and he has made some preparations. After explaining some things to Gaudí, he began to go to the Sant'Andy family.

……

The St. Andys, located in the middle of the Kaodian Empire, were not founded in Farr, the second largest city in the empire, like the Osedon family. Instead, choose a small and medium-sized Chestnut Castle.

This may seem like a reduction in the family's influence, but it actually has other benefits, in the small and medium-sized Windchestnut City. With the strength of the St. Andy's family, it is simply an existence like an earth emperor. As long as they don't do anything like rebellion that endangers the empire, the St. Andy's family can do whatever they want in Windchestnut City.

If it weren't for the Kaoya Empire, in order to prevent the St. Andy's family from being dominant. If a person from another place had been arranged to serve as the city lord, so as to contain some of the influence of the St. Andy family, Wind Chestnut City would have been included in the St. Andy's family's pocket. However, now the influence of the St. Andy family in Wind Chestnut City is still very strong, almost to the point where most of the people in the entire Wind Chestnut City will work for the St. Andy family at the point where they will serve the St. Andy family.

The St. Andy family has not been established for a long time, only about a hundred years, and was established by St. Andy, a level 9 sword saint more than a hundred years ago. Speaking of St. Andy's name, even if more than a hundred years have passed, there are still many people who know it, because St. Andy is the most powerful level 9 sword master of that era more than a hundred years ago. St. Andy's name in the early years did not have the word "saint", but later because of his strength to the limit, and he had contributed a lot to the Kaoya Empire, the then Kaoya Emperor specially allowed him to add a "holy" in front of his name, which made the name St. Andy.

Compared to St Andy's, Camp. Osaidon's reputation is much weaker, at least before Ryan participated in the Swordsman Tournament, most people basically didn't know about Kemp. The name of Ossedon. But that doesn't mean camp. Osedon's strength is weaker than St. Andy's, on the contrary, in Ryan's opinion, Kemp. Osedon's strength is certainly much stronger than St. Andy's. The reason why Kemp. Oseidon's fame is weaker than that of St. Andy. Osedon lived more than 300 years ago, which is too long. Osaidon is relatively low-key, and he also hides part of his strength, and it seems that he is not the most powerful level 9 sword master in that era.

After St. Andy, there has never been a level 9 sword master in the St. Andy family, and their family is bound to be unable to maintain the situation when St. Andy was alive, but in the past hundred years, there have also been several level 8 great sword masters, maintaining a situation that is one level lower than the sword saint family, and it is one of the very large families in the Kaoya Empire. This situation is similar to that of the Osedon family, when they were in camp. It took more than 100 years after Ossaidon's disappearance before he began to decline.

Therefore, in Ryan's opinion, the St. Andy's family is now beginning to show signs of decline, which can be seen from the fact that the St. Andy's family has put up several valuable collectibles for auction. Although the St. Andy's family is known as a strong auction house, a discerning person can see that the St. Andy's family is in crisis or has problems such as poor cash turnover, otherwise they would not have relied on selling the collections left by their ancestors to raise funds. Now that they have made this start and tasted this sweetness, then in the future, when they encounter difficulties, they will unconsciously sell their ancestors' collections, and thus gradually decline.

"A level 8 great sword master, and three level 7 sword masters, it's a bit difficult to deal with." After Ryan came to Wind Chestnut City, he didn't immediately go to the St. Andy family manor not far from the city, but stayed in Wind Chestnut City for a while to think about how to deal with the St. Andy family.

Ryan already knew the state of the San Andy family from some of the information Gaudí had collected, but this information was only for information, and perhaps in the end it was a duel to achieve the goal. Ever since Ryan faced the Ice Rank 8 Magister Sharpd Drews in the Otto Empire, he would no longer underestimate any Level 8 Magus and Level 8 Great Swordsman, so when facing a Level 8 Great Swordsman and three Level 7 Swordsmen owned by the St. Andy family, Ryan always considered the problem with the most important attitude.

"There's no good way to do it, so let's salute first and then soldier! If they're willing to talk, then it's okay if I pay some price, and if they can't, then don't blame me for being ruthless. After a long time, Ryan made such a decision, and then he thought of a new question, "Do you want to disclose your identity?" If the identity is revealed, then in the future, when I am not in the Ossedons, they may take revenge on the Ossedons. But if I hide my identity, then they can guess that I am from the Osedon family based on what I want, and they will also take revenge on the Ossedons. ”

Since returning to the Kaoya Empire, Ryan has been worried that he has offended too many enemies and will take revenge on the Osedon family in the future. But after only a few breaths, Ryan immediately made a decision: "No matter, I'll hide my identity first, and then make an excuse that has nothing to do with Oseidon, it's best to be able to get rid of the relationship with the Osedon family, if not, as long as they don't find evidence for them, they won't dare to deal with the Osedon family openly." ”

Then Ryan thought fiercely: "If the St. Andy's family is really excessive, give them a lesson that will not be forgotten, so that even if they know that I am a member of the Osedon family, they will not dare to take revenge on the Osedon family." ”

The next day, Ryan left Chestnut City early in the morning and went to the St. Andy's family estate, although he decided to hide his identity, Ryan did not disguise himself and still appeared with his original face. The identity of the level 8 great sword master and level 8 magister made it impossible for him to make such a humiliating act as disguise.

St. Andy's family estate is easy to find, and to the north of the city is a large plain that is extremely wide and almost unsheltered, and a few miles along the plain you can see a castle-like manor house sitting on the plain, opposite the city of Wind Chestnut in the distance.

"Can't imagine that the St. Andy's estate is so big? Much larger than the Ossedon family estate. Ryan looked at the manor in front of him, which was very similar to the Osedon family, and there were more than a dozen tall attics in the manor. The difference is that all the buildings in the manor in front of you are not dilapidated, they all look new and clean, and they are full of people, which makes the manor full of vitality.

"It is said that there are more than 3,000 people in the St. Andy family, but many of them have gone to various properties, so it is estimated that there are about 2,000 people in this estate." Ryan thought about the various materials collected by Gaudí, and was more clear about the situation of the St. Andy family, but Ryan was not worried about these, those swordsman-level people, no matter how much they could pose a threat to Ryan, what he was worried about was the only remaining level 8 swordsman in the St. Andy family, how strong is the strength, if he can resist Ryan for a long time, then Ryan will be in danger of defeat.

"Haha! The plain in front of the St. Andy's family estate, if I can't talk to them, it just gives me plenty of room to do it. Ryan watched from a distance in the doorway for a moment, then walked straight towards the door of the St. Andy's family. (To be continued.) )
