A team rushed back to Dorman City, and as soon as they arrived at the city gate, Ryan found that something was wrong, there were soldiers guarding the city gate, and the city walls were also heavily guarded, looking like they were facing a great enemy.

Ryan was puzzled in his heart, and said secretly: "Is there something wrong?" ”

Their group quickly attracted the attention of the soldiers at the city gate, and the leader was a commander, who recognized Ryan at a glance, and hurriedly trotted forward, and gave a military salute: "The first battalion left guard, the first team, the left commander salutes you!" ”

In order to make it easier to distinguish between the 52 military system, Lane stipulated that "five" should be represented by numbers, and "two" should be represented by left and right.

"It's hard work, what's going on in the city?"

Ryan nodded and returned a military salute.

The officer was a little flattered, but after hearing Ryan's question, he hesitated and said, "You don't know that a few days after you left, a thief broke into the castle at night to commit theft, and it is said that the loss is not small.

In view of this situation, the Administrator, Lord Hervian, and the Legion Commander, Lord Delai, jointly decided to lock down the city, and it has been several days, and there is still no trace of the thief. ”

Ryan was taken aback and hurriedly said, "Are there any casualties?" ”

The officer hurriedly waved his hand and said, "If nothing happened to the person, the property was stolen." ”

Ryan breathed a sigh of relief, although the loss of money was heart-wrenching, as long as the person was okay. But then there was anger in my heart, grandma drop, The castle is its own base camp, nest, and center!

If he didn't want money but killed, wouldn't his mother and sister be more than lucky?

Thinking of this, he slammed the horse's belly and rode the horse on the long street. Alan and the others hurriedly followed, and hurried all the way back to the castle, and Ryan first reprimanded the captain of the guard fiercely, and then slammed it low.

Then he came to Karinman's side, knelt down with a "bang" and said: "Mother, my son is late to come back, and you are frightened, I will definitely find out this hateful thief!" ”

Kai Lin Man smiled and helped Ryan up and said, "You are a lord, a nobleman, you can't kneel at every turn in the future." I'm fine, it's just that Susan's jewelry was stolen, and I'm sad these days, so you have to comfort her. ”

Ryan was suddenly afraid for a while when he heard this, the other party actually entered Susan's room to steal, in case the other party was a little evil, wouldn't he regret it for the rest of his life?

He didn't care that he was still wearing a stinky armor, and hurriedly came to Susan's room, Susan had been resting at home for the past few days, and had not gone to school.

There was a soft knock on the door, and Susan's voice came from inside, "I said I won't go out." Listening to the voice, it was a little angry, obviously still angry.

Ryan thought for a while, didn't make a sound, he first asked the soldiers waiting outside to go back to the camp to rest, and after settling Xiyue, he left the cubs of the three silver-winged blue wolves.

Then he went to wash up, took off his stinking armor, and knocked on Susan's door again with a wolf cub in his arms, and the answer was the same as ever, but this time there was a hint of impatience in his tone.

He said outside the door, "If you don't come out, can you let me in?" ”

As soon as the words fell, there was a "thunderclap" sound in the room, as if a lot of things had been knocked over.

The door creaked open, and a smaller figure rushed out, hugging him tightly like an octopus.

"What's the matter, still angry? It's my brother's fault that I didn't arrange it when I left, which frightened my dear sister. ”

Patting the little head in his arms, Ryan smiled and said, "Good, my brother brought you a gift, you see." ”

Susan didn't react, just whispered: "I'm not angry with anyone, I'm just angry with myself, the thieves are all in my room, and I don't notice it at all." Brother, I'm useless. ”

Ryan stretched out his hand and hugged her tightly, "Nonsense, my sister is a genius, who can compare?" And, I don't want you to fight the gangsters, I don't want you to get hurt, get it? ”

His younger sister is not very old, but her mind is very heavy, and she is not at all like the rich lady of ordinary people, and he believes that if she finds out at that time, she will definitely rush to fight the gangsters, even if she is not yet ten years old.

"Look at the gift I brought you."

Susan raised her head when she heard this, and met a pair of fierce eyes, which were the cub of the silver-winged blue wolf, waving its little paws in Ryan's arms, trying to show its fierce side.

"Wow, what a cute puppy." Susan's eyes lit up as she snatched the cub and rubbed it in her arms.

Ryan smiled slightly, she was still a little girl after all, and she couldn't resist the temptation of these kittens and dogs.

Silverwinged Wolf: "You're the dog, your whole family is a dog!" ”

"Huh? You're talking at such a young age. Susan was amazed, holding the little wolf and looking left and right, she had communicated with many animals, and she was a little experienced.

Ordinary domestic animals can basically only express simple meanings, such as: eating, drinking, sleeping, running, etc.

The higher the level of the Warcraft, the more complete the meaning expressed, such as Ryan's current mount, the wildebeest, as a second-level Warcraft, it already has the ability to express a seven- or eight-year-old child.

But at the first level, and at a very young age, the ability to express himself is very poor, and this little wolf can already express complete sentences, which is almost the same as a wildebeest.

"Huh? What does it say? Ryan asked casually, he didn't expect to be so smart with such a small thing.

"Nothing, does this puppy have a name?" Susan rubbed its head vigorously, completely ignoring the fact that it was a wolf.

"It's given to you, of course, it's up to you."

"Well—let's call it Little Ash, then." Susan pinched its cheek and took on an unusual name.

"Poof, little ash? Ahem, it's good, it's good. Ryan almost choked to death in one breath, and a picture could not help but appear in his mind, which gradually coincided with the little wolf in front of him, don't you really say it, it's really quite appropriate.

Susan glared at Ryan strangely, what kind of expression is this?

"Ahem, if you like this gift, you can rest well, I'll go and arrest that guy back for you to dispose of." Ryan patted her head and said.

After calming his family, he went to his teacher, Sterling, to learn more about the situation.

He made his way to the backyard and found Sterling absent, while his apprentice Levi was walking in Zama, his hands dangling heavy bricks and sweat soaking the ground, which seemed to have lasted for a long time.

"Where's the mentor?" Ryan was a little puzzled, since he can remember, his mentor is a simple person, formerly known as an otaku in the world, but he hasn't seen anyone today, which is a bit abnormal.

"You're back. The mentor went to arrest the thief, and he said that he had betrayed your trust, that he was too careless, and that if he didn't get him back, he wouldn't have the face to protect the Black family anymore. ”

Levi's teeth chattered a little as he spoke.

Ryan frowned tightly, this method doesn't look like a physical exercise, but more like a simple punishment?

"What have you done that the mentor is going to punish you physically?" Stirling was a gentlemanly mentor, and his harsh but never meaningless corporal punishment of his apprentices, for it did not serve any purpose other than physical harm.

"That night, I fell asleep and forgot to patrol, and the instructor punished me." Levi's tone was full of guilt, and he thought that if it weren't for his negligence, the man would not have been able to get into Miss's room.

"The training task is so heavy every day, and you are not a robot, how can you not be negligent? It's not your fault...... Eh, you squat down first.

Although you are not wrong, but after all, the punishment is set by the mentor, and I have no right to change it, you bear it first, and I will help you intercede when I meet the mentor. Ryan patted him on the shoulder and said seriously.

Levi, who was just about to get up, had to squat down again, looking at Ryan with a resentful face, and was happy in vain.

Since Sterling wasn't there, he went back to his office and sat down in his seat to think about whether it had anything to do with anything else.

The defense of the castle can be described as unusually strict, three steps, one post, five steps and one sentry are not exaggerated, and there are high-level knights in charge, no matter how you look at it, how can a small thief come and go easily?

It's hard not to think of something more to him, how dare an average thief come to the castle to steal, is there someone else behind the instructions?

This can't help but make Ryan a little anxious, in the castle, in addition to his relatives, there are many secrets, whether it is paper or green sugar, and even printing, papermaking, trebuchets and other drawings.

These are important secrets of the territory, and if stolen, it will cause a lot of unnecessary trouble.

Thinking of this, he hurriedly checked the drawings and documents in his secret compartment, and sure enough, there were traces of being flipped, but none of them were missing, which made him a little relieved.

A second check revealed that only the belongings had been stolen, including the seized ring.

"It seems that I really think too much, and the other party is really a bold thief.

But it also reminded me that the castle may be impregnable for ordinary people, but there are many strange people in this world, and in their eyes, the defenses here are useless, like a rag full of holes, and it is time to strengthen the defenses. ”

Ryan thought about it for a moment and realized that he still had to rely on the power of runes in the end, so he set off for the laboratory, just as he still had something to look for Liman.

As soon as he walked downstairs, he was stopped, it turned out to be Hevian who was in a hurry, as soon as the other party saw him, his eyes were shining, and he hurriedly said: "You are finally back, I have been waiting for you for a long time." ”

Ryan looked at it, yes, he didn't have to go anywhere today, every time he was caught by the other party, he couldn't get out easily, he spread his hands helplessly and said: "My lord, I've only been gone for a few days, what's wrong?" ”

The two of them went back to the office, and before their butts touched the bench, Hevean explained his intentions......

It turned out that three days ago, when Ryan and the others were still in the Demon Beast Mountain Range, a large caravan came to the Kanna Territory.

Their lead steward claimed to be Viscounty Brandon from County Toure, which was also in the province of Green, but was in the northernmost part of the province, while Lintonshire was in the southernmost part and had little intersection.

It was the first time that the Kanna Collar had accepted such a large caravan, and Hervian took it very seriously, taking out many conventional goods to trade with the other party.

The other party has a lot of money, whether it is fur or medicinal materials, the visitor does not refuse to accept all the orders, but it doesn't take long for the other party to vaguely mention that he wants to buy special goods, and the price is guaranteed to be fair.

Kanna's special commodities are well-known to the outside world as beast furs and medicinal herbs, but the other party definitely doesn't refer to these, so the answer is about to come out, they want green sugar!

This made Hevian bittersweet, happy that he had finally opened the first step in the foreign trade of the Cana Territory, and worried that he also knew that the green sugar had always been sold by Viscount Chels's family, so would he be at odds with the Marton family?

Hevian couldn't make up his mind, so he kept pretending to be deaf and dumb, and after the other party knew that the lord was not there, he didn't leave directly, and waited for Ryan to come back.

No, just got the news of Ryan's return, he directly threw down all the government affairs to discuss with him how to deal with this matter.

Ryan rubbed his chin, it is naturally a good thing to have a large caravan to trade, and he is ready to gradually open up the restrictions, maybe this is also an opportunity.

It was not in Lane's interest for the Chels family to dominate, and he needed more dealers so that he could maximize his benefits. But we can't ignore Chels's attitude, after all, the two sides are not enemies, and they have a lot of care and help for Ryan.

Ryan couldn't do this kind of thing after eating and kicking the pot, and after thinking about it, he finally met and talked about it first.

"You call the steward of the caravan, I want to talk to him, this is an opportunity."

"He's already waiting outside, I'll call him in."

Ryan couldn't help but be dumbfounded, nodded Hevian and smiled, "You're really fast." I'm not sure what to do, I've already made a decision, and I'm going to test my attitude, next time you can decide for yourself, I'm sure you can handle it. ”

Hevian didn't move when he heard this, he just bowed and smiled, but his heart was still warm, and he felt like he was dying for his confidant.

Soon, the head of the caravan was called, a short middle-aged man, who looked a little sharp-beaked monkey gills, he bowed slightly the whole time, and the distance of each step was not bad at all, fast but very steady.

He came up to Lane and respectfully presented a letter: "Honorable and merciful Baron Cana, I only extend my sincere greetings to you on behalf of my master, Viscount Brandon. ”

Signaling Hervian to take the letter, Ryan looked at it, confirmed the identity of the other party, and couldn't help but smile and said: "Say hello to Viscount Brandon, what do you call Your Excellency, why do you want to see Benjue?" ”

"You can call me Neo, and as you may have guessed, we want to be able to buy the recipe for making green sugar, or work with you, just like you did with Viscount Marton."
