Kryptonite lords v. 19
Hiring Andrew for an hour costs 50 silver to buy magic silver grass, but it's worth it.
And the system secretly told Ryan that although Andrew is still a mid-level fighter, his strength has almost reached the edge of a small breakthrough, but he hasn't discovered it yet.
*
A simple morale boost, and then there was nothing to do with Ryan, after all, compared to him, Andrew knew how to deal with this group, and even ordinary people who were not warriors and had average physical fitness.
When Andrew easily knocked all the members of the escort team to the ground with one move, Ryan knew that it was done, because the group of people who were beaten not only had no opinion, but increased their loyalty, and Andrew's action also confirmed that this was a really powerful person.
In this world, almost no one does not worship the strong, and even some people begin to wonder if Andrew will accept himself as a disciple if he works harder.
When the training began, Ryan and Andrew explained some things, although they were hired through the system, but Andrew's attitude was very good.
Ryan watched the training of the crowd for a while and left, because Henry was imprisoned in the dungeon, so Ryan asked Asa to join the training of the others, and then asked a valet to lead him to the place where Henry was being held.
Although it is said to be a dungeon, it is actually the basement of the castle, after all, Henry is stingy with all the money in his own pocket.
The basement has been useless for a long time, the environment is a little bad, and the manservant who led Ryan over retreated on his own with great vision, and Ryan walked slowly in front of Henry.
Henry's wig was gone, and the powder on his face was stained with sweat, revealing bruises and bumps on his skin, which looked very funny.
The Celestial Bird didn't like this kind of place very much, and shrunk quietly on Ryan's shoulder.
The imprisoned magic had failed, and Henry immediately stood up from the ground when he saw Ryan, looking at him with resentment and viciousness in his eyes.
If it weren't for Ryan, he would still be Orlan's big butler, how could he have fallen to such a point.
Ryan smiled when he saw his eyes and asked softly, "What benefit did Dylan give you to target me so much?" ”
Asa hid in Henry's room last night, and Dylan was the recipient of the letter, but it was a pity that Asa hid it from a bad angle and did not read all the contents of the letter.
After hearing this name, Henry's face suddenly changed, and he asked with a gloomy face, "Since you know this name, why do you still ask me?" ”
He didn't know how Ryan knew the name, but he used a magic item to send the letter, and if the person who received it wasn't the one it was intended for, the letter would be automatically destroyed.
Ryan's eyes were cold, "I'd rather hear your own explanation." ”
Henry looked at Ryan with gloomy eyes and sneered, "Do you think I'll say it?" ”
Then he rolled his eyes, "Looks like you just know the name." ”
"Actually, I'm a benevolent person." Ryan sighed, "But once in a while I can pretend to be the Thunderbolt King. ”
Henry asked vigilantly, "What do you want to do?" ”
"Nothing." Ryan smiled, "Do you want to taste the feeling of thunder and lightning swimming in flesh and blood, being shocked by lightning until you can't survive and beg for death?" ”
Henry swallowed his Adam's apple, his mouth stiff and silent.
Ryan pondered for a few seconds the more interesting torture tools in his memory, and suddenly raised his lips and smiled.
Although his appearance is not too dangerous, Henry, who has black hair and black eyes, is nervous and has not suffered too much sin, and is directly frightened by him.
Ryan: "? ”
It's touching porcelain!
He hasn't done anything!
*
In the end, with the help of the system, Ryan, who bought hypnotic props in the store, still knew the reason why Henry would target him.
Before Ryan arrives in Oran, Henry receives a letter from the Imperial City, sent by a mysterious Raven Witch, signed by Dylan, and refers to himself as a high-ranking nobleman living in the Imperial City.
The letter portrays Ryan as a demon who does all kinds of evil, his presence brings calamity and misfortune, and the witch uses a crystal ball to make Henry see the prophecy that Ryan Campbell will destroy everything in Orlan's territory.
At the end of the letter, Dylan also promised Henry that if he could steal Lane's three things and kill Lane, Henry would succeed him as the new lord of Oran's realm and become a vassal of the Imperial City as a new nobleman.
Dylan didn't know who Henry was, and the letter burned automatically after Henry read it, and even the Raven Witch disappeared into white smoke after the divination prophecy.
Chapter 26
Rather than Dylan, who claims to be a nobleman, Ryan actually wants to know the identity of the Raven Witch.
Unlike mages, witches are a very special profession.
Although witches can also learn magic, most witches are better at refining potions, divination, and double puppets, and because of the Temple of Light, some witches who have mastered black magic are considered ominous, especially the Raven Witch.
The most common place for witches is the Witches' Forest, but they also banish the Raven Witches. Wherever there is a Raven Witch, the Temple Inquisitors will go on a witch hunt.
According to Henry, the letter writer Dylan was a high-ranking nobleman living in the Imperial City, and the messenger was the Raven Witch.
The system has mentioned to Ryan that the base camp of the Temple of Light is in the Imperial City.
Ryan didn't fully believe Henry's words, he held the hypnotic prop in his hand, looked at Henry and asked one last time, "So you really don't know who that witch is?" ”
"The person who wrote to me is from the Imperial City, and he told me to steal your three things......"
Henry sat on the ground with blank eyes, and Ryan asked, all he knew was repeating what he had just said.
Seeing that he couldn't ask for more useful information, Ryan was a little confused, but he didn't think too much about it, so he left the dungeon and decided to come back tomorrow.
Instructed the manservant to guard this place, Ryan and Tianmiao returned to their room together, and when he entered the room, he couldn't help but say to the system: "The position of lord is really troublesome, but how can there be such a stupid guy, obviously he doesn't even know who Dylan and the witch are, and he believes it to be true with just a crystal ball divination prophecy, and bullies me at will for a good person with a good character and a good heart." ”
System: "You're right, you're a good person." ”
The host was kryptonite just now!
Seeing that these words did not arouse the sympathy of the system, Ryan lowered his head and pondered for a few seconds.
System: "So what are you going to do with Henry?" ”
"I don't know, I haven't thought about it, I can't put it in the end, anyway, let him stay in the dungeon first."
Ryan pulled out a chair and sat down, picked up the parchment on the table and said to Amore, "Please help me get Suo and Bart, thank you." ”
"Honorable lord, you don't need to be so polite, just tell me to do it next time you have something."
A thank you made Amore honestly frightened, and she quickly bent over her head and strode towards the door.
Ryan stroked his hair.
It has become a habit to say hello and thank you, and it is a bit difficult to change it for a while.
But now that Henry has been locked up by him, Ryan feels that he can start making money.
Seeing that Ryan pulled out his quill, as if he was planning to depict it on the parchment scroll, the system kindly reminded him, "Your city lord's seal is still with Henry." ”
"Lord's seal?"
Ryan was about to ask the lord what the seal was for, but suddenly remembered something, "Don't you say I almost forgot, I still have money with Henry!" ”
He is worried that he has no money to hire Andrew for a long time!
With that, he put the quill down, and Ryan got up and prepared to walk out the door, but as soon as he went out, he found Amore running towards him.
"My lord, something is wrong!"
Amore gasped and ran to Ryan to stop, looking a little flustered and said, "The manservant Beecher told me that Henry is inflated!" Hurry up and check it out! ”
Ryan: "??? ”
The system detected the situation in the dungeon at this time, and the cold machine voice rose slightly: "Ah, he really swelled." ”
Ryan: "Can't you just talk to yourself?" ”
He's curious!
*
When Ryan arrives in the dungeon with Amore, he realizes that what they say is not adulterated at all.
Henry, who was already fat, was like a crazy inhaling sphere at this time, not only the body muscles, but also the cheekbones on both sides of his cheeks were bulging, squeezing his eyes into slits, and the fat was so swollen that his clothes were about to burst, and his round body seemed to be detonated at any time.
Ryan's eyes widened, looking at Henry, who was floating on his toes off the ground, and asked the manservant Beecher in disbelief, "How did he become like this?" ”
Henry seemed to have lost his sense of self at this time, indifferent to Ryan's arrival, silently allowing his body to swell, unaware of pain, like an unconscious puppet.
Beecher kept trembling, and replied with some fear: "Not long after you left, Butler Henry suddenly started talking to himself, I remember...... He seemed to have pronounced someone's name, and his eyelids suddenly became like this. ”
"Whose name was pronounced?" Ryan looked sideways at Beecher, "Do you remember who he was talking about?" ”
Beecher thought about it for a while, and finally whispered uncertainly, "He seems to be reading ...... Aria. ”
"Aria?"
Ryan watched as Henry repeated the name.
When the name came out of his mouth, Henry's body suddenly expanded faster, his whole body was bloated to the extreme, floating into the air like a balloon, and his face was like a dough that stretched out, engulfing his facial features, and finally bursting with a 'bang'.
Shattered flesh and blood splashed in all directions like rain, but fortunately, Ryan was prepared in advance, and all the squirting blood and bones were blocked by a protective shield.
Beecher was so frightened that she knelt on the ground, and Amore was so frightened that her face turned pale.
When Henry exploded, Ryan closed his eyes, and when the movement stopped, Ryan looked at the dirty dungeon in front of him and asked in his mind, "Commander, do you know what the situation is now?" ”
It's not that he's bold, it's that this scene is a bit fake for Ryan, who is used to watching the big screen, and it's even less terrifying than the special effects of the coded movie. And the blood of a normal person should be red, but Henry's blood after the explosion is black, even the broken bones, and it smells extremely bad.
System: "He sold his soul to a witch and escaped through a puppet using his name as a medium." ”
Ryan spat out, "So these are all fakes, right?" ”
He didn't feel right in the first place, and he should have thought that something was wrong.
System: "It's true. ”
Ryan: "? ”
System: "These are the blood of all kinds of beasts, and the scraps on the ground are the bones of kittens and puppies who died at birth. ”
Ryan: "......"
Carelessly, this is even more terrifying than the dead!
Ryan held his breath and took a few steps back, turning his head to Beecher who was trembling with fright, and said, "Henry is not dead, he made a deal with the evil witch and escaped from Orlan with a double puppet, which is full of the blood and bones of wild beasts. ”
Beecher cried and hiccuped, "So Henry didn't he die?" ”
Ryan nodded, "Yes." ”
Amore breathed a sigh of relief, and then Ryan said to Becher: "Henry not only deceived us, but also tried to destroy Orlan with the evil witch, fortunately, the great Lord Ryan saw through his plot and saved Oran, we must expose all his crimes!" ”
