There were only a few people when I went, and when I came back, there was a lot of power.

Before the sun set, Ryan returned to the castle, and the Sky Bird rested on his shoulder.

The system asked with some curiosity: "Didn't you just solve Henry in one go?" ”

The sky was red, and Ryan replied in a good mood: "Don't worry, after a while, he can probably scare himself to death." ”

Fear is the best way to torment people, and Henry is very timid.

Ryan was going to wait a little longer, and he wondered why Henry was so hostile to him.

The system sighed softly and let out an excellent sigh.

Amore and Marlene waited outside the castle for the return of the group, and when they saw Ryan on the back of the lead flaming horse, they could clearly see that they were relieved at the same time.

Henry's face was gloomy, and the messenger was that the man wrapped Moses' body in a cloth and followed him tremblingly.

During the return, Ryan dismissed the people and told them to go back to their homes, and the crowd followed his instructions, but did not forget to tell others what they had seen today.

The humble servant lay on the ground, trying to get his back to kiss Ryan's heel.

Ryan shook his head and said that he didn't have to do this, turned over and jumped off the back of the flaming horse, and reached out to gently caress the horse's neck, "Thank you for your hard work today." ”

The Flame Horse raised his mane and rubbed his palm with his head down.

The messenger who came back said that Ryan had angered a high-ranking monster out of greed, but he returned, and Moses was gone.

No one is stupid, it's just that in some circumstances they only dare to talk about people who are inferior to themselves.

"Honorable lord, allow me to serve your mount."

Keeping his mind in his heart, the servant who kept the horse lowered his posture, took the reins from Lane's hand, and returned the flaming horse to the stable in awe.

The Celestial Bird spread its wings and said goodbye to the Flaming Horse, standing comfortably on Ryan's shoulder.

Ryan gently stroked the long feathers on the bird's forehead and strode into the castle, followed by Amore, Marlene, and other servants.

The blood on Asa's arm had clotted, and Al and Toby stopped hesitantly outside the castle, still holding the cloth bag containing the gray-headed duck eggs in their hands, looking sadly at Ryan's back.

They were just the most ordinary members of the guard, and Henry never allowed them to set foot in the castle.

Just as Toby and Al were struggling with each other, Ryan suddenly stopped, turned to them and said, "Why don't you follow?" ”

Al and Toby were overjoyed, but they heard Henry say, "Lord Lane, this is not in order. ”

"Unruly?"

Lane couldn't help but sneer when he heard this, he looked at Henry and asked, "I'm the lord, this is my castle, you talk to me about the rules?" ”

Amore and the others hung their heads in silence, and none of them echoed Henry's words.

Ryan looked at his flushed face and said to Henry and the messenger beside him, "Don't bring anything unclean into my castle. ”

Henry suddenly made a look of disbelief, raised his voice and asked, "Moses is the captain of the convoy, how can you insult him so much?" ”

The loud inquiry aroused the curiosity of the members of the castle's outer guards, who stopped and looked sideways.

Ryan didn't mind his small movements, but took out a diamond-shaped crystal from the space ring with a gentle expression, deliberately looked down at Henry and asked, "Then do you know what he did?" ”

Someone else may not know what Ryan has taken out, but Henry recognizes it as a Flower of Time at a glance.

There are two ways to spawn the Flower of Time, either naturally or by the magic of a time or space magician.

The Flower of Time is able to record and retrace the past that happened somewhere, because of Moses' death, the spatial ring hidden on his body lost the imprint of spiritual power.

After the system recovered the space ring, in the process of returning, Ryan found this flower of time, but there was a forbidden spell on it, Ryan couldn't go back in history, he took it out now just to scare Henry, who knew that the other party's face turned pale when he saw this crystal.

Ryan clenched the Flower of Time thoughtfully, and Henry's face quickly returned to its original state, he looked down and did not look at Ryan, looking humble and pitiful, "Follow your orders, honorable Lord Ryan, please allow me to dispose of this unclean thing in your mouth now." ”

The rest of the people were silent.

If it weren't for the fact that the loyalty count on Henry's panel was so negative that it was about to explode, Ryan would have thought he had a hint of remorse.

Ryan put the Flower of Time into the spatial ring on his finger, then turned and continued towards the castle, followed by the rest of the group.

Henry's eyes never took his eyes off Ryan's spatial ring.

It wasn't until Ryan's figure disappeared that Henry got up from the ground, regained his original face as a tall butler, and turned his head sideways to whisper a few words to the man holding the sack.

The two of them then left the castle together and walked towards the place where there was a grave.

*

Amore, Marlene, and the others re-cleaned the castle from the inside to the outside during the day, and although there was still a bit of a smell, it was much cleaner than before.

After all, a castle with stones will be very uncomfortable if there is too much water.

As the meal approached, the chef in the castle was preparing the food, his work was disturbed, he frowned slightly when he saw a group of people coming in, and smiled again when he saw Ryan.

"Oh, my esteemed lord, you are like the light of the rising sun shining on me."

Chef Buniel, a little old man of a little age, combed his gray curls neatly behind his head, and walked towards Ryan with a mouth full of compliments, and finally asked politely, "I am preparing dinner for you, do you have any instructions for this order?" ”

Chapter 13

No one knows where Bunier came from, but he has been heard saying that he is from the Imperial City.

Before Henry became Aulan's butler, Bunier was already the most famous chef in Oran, and was later invited to the castle to serve the lord's two meals a day.

Successive lords have liked Buniel's cuisine very much, and his attitude towards him is also very tolerant, Buniel is not loyal to any lord, nor is he loyal to Henry, it is his habit to praise people, if he hates anyone, he will spray directly. Being a good chef in Orlan is still quite popular, and even if Ryan doesn't think Bunier's food is delicious, those who have tasted it still find it delicious.

Following Ryan into the kitchen, Amore and the others behind him were full of anticipation, they were curious about the precious food that Ryan mentioned during the day, and even Buniel knew about it.

"It's not a big deal."

Hearing Buniel's inquiry, Ryan bowed his head slightly and looked sideways at Al and Toby, "Take out all the grey-headed duck eggs you just collected." ”

Al and Toby were very excited when they heard this, and carefully put down the rag bag they had held all the way in their arms.

"I'm very sorry, my lord." Asa lowered his head, not daring to look at Ryan, his voice full of humility and apology, "I accidentally lost all the gray-headed duck eggs I found. ”

He was also a sinner, and Asa thought to himself that he had betrayed Ryan and that he should die with Moses instead of standing here in shame and embarrassment.

But the potion ......

Ryan looked at him and asked, "It's not entirely your fault, Moses is the one who threatened you, right?" ”

Hearing Ryan ask, Asa couldn't help but lower his head, and finally whispered in a very low voice, "Yes, lord, I'm sorry for the mistake I just made. ”

The rest of the people didn't know why, and Al and Toby slowed down the speed of picking up the eggs from the cloth bag, and their hearts began to panic slightly.

Lane liked people with an honest disposition, so he looked at Asa and continued: "The real sinner is dead, and although you are guilty, you are not guilty to death. I'm going to think hard about how you should be punished, but it's dinner time, and I'll wait until tomorrow. ”

He saw the curiosity in everyone's eyes, but it didn't matter, curiosity would attract more people to discuss.

Only by spreading the crimes of Henry and Moses could Lane's reputation not be ruined.

Asa raised his head when he heard this, a little incredulous.

With joy on their faces, Al and Toby looked at each other and gave Asa a a few grey-headed duck eggs.

Asa shook his head and refused: "I can't ask for it." ”

"Take it." Al and Toby forcibly shoved the egg into his arms, "These were yours. ”

Although Asa still brought the cub of the Flame Tiger according to Moses' order, if he really wanted to do so, Ryan's counterattack this time would definitely not go so smoothly.

Both Al and Toby knew that of all the members of the Guardians, only Asa was the fastest runner, and the Flame Tiger cub didn't weigh much. Asa had had enough time to steal the Flame Tiger's cub to Ryan's side, but he had been in the forest for a long time, and he had deliberately made such a big noise.

Everyone who listened to the words was silent, hiding their curiosity in their hearts, and they only dared to ask the truth after Ryan left.

After Al and Toby finished discussing, Ryan looked down at the gray-headed duck eggs in front of them, counted them carefully, and took out a bunch of copper coins from the space ring, "I bought a gray-headed duck egg at the price of 5 copper coins, you picked up a total of 32, here are 160 copper coins, the three of you will distribute them by yourself." ”

"Oh my God."

The maid at the end heard this sentence and immediately couldn't help but exclaim, and everyone was surprised, this was the first time they had heard that the lord would actually give money if he wanted something from the guards, not to mention that it was just some ordinary gray-headed duck eggs.

Even Al and Toby found it incredible, they didn't expect Ryan to tell the truth.

Al swallowed his Adam's apple, looked away from the copper coin with some reluctance, and said to Ryan with a firm attitude: "Honorable lord, we can't ask for this money. ”

His monthly salary is only 50 copper coins!

His heart hurts when he says this!

Toby took a breath quietly and hurriedly echoed, "Yes, honorable lord, this is just what we should do. ”

Ryan looked at the loyalty on their panels, rushing directly from plus or minus to plus 40, and raised the corners of his mouth slightly with satisfaction, "This is what I promised before, and you deserve it, I don't want the loyal people who follow me to continue to live in poverty, and I don't want to see the unknown givers, but suffer unfair treatment." ”

After the words fell, many people were emotionally red-eyed.

Money touches people's hearts, words soothe, just these words and those copper coins, many people's heads, suddenly appeared on the same panel as Al, including Amore and Ma Lian, and their loyalty also rushed to 40.

Bunier retracted his subtle gaze and glanced at Ryan, although there was no panel above his head, he didn't open his mouth to continue the unintentional compliment, "Then when you talk about food in the morning, are you referring to these gray-headed duck eggs?" ”

"It's not just these duck eggs, it's more importantly—"

Ryan stroked his left hand with his right hand and took out a flower basket from the spatial ring, which contained some ripe golden-red tomatoes.

Bunier looked at the flower basket, hesitated for a second, and said, "These fruits look beautiful, but can they be eaten?" ”

"Absolutely."

Ryan bowed his head and glanced at him before explaining, "Before coming to Oran, I was lucky enough to meet a mysterious merchant who told me a story. ”

Ryan organized the language, and seeing that everyone was looking at him, he continued: "Legend has it that a long time ago, there was a beautiful goddess who fell in love with an ordinary man, and she expressed her love to the man, and the other party accepted, but on the night of the successful confession, the man died at the hands of the goddess's admirer.

Heartbroken, the goddess walked into the forest with the man's body in her arms, and when she buried the body, her eyes flowed blood-colored tears, and finally a tree grew out of the soil, and the fruit on it was called the lover's fruit. ”

The system hesitated and asked in Ryan's head, "Why haven't I heard this story?" ”

Ryan replied naturally, "I'm making it up." ”

System: "What's the use?" ”

Ryan: "You can increase your value, don't believe me." ”

Only then did the system discover that the emotional Ma Lian shed tears on the spot after listening to the story, and whispered to Amore while wiping the corners of her eyes with the back of her hand: "This is really a tragic love story." ”

System: "Wonderful. ”
