"No, it's delicious even if it's warm."

Andrew held up the straw basket in his hand towards him, "Do you want to eat the cake together?" ”

Ryan shook his head slightly, took back the small piece of strawberry cake in the grass basket, and took out a whole piece of oversized strawberry cake directly from the space ring, and shared it with the flower elves and copper and iron under the moon.

*

After the sharing of the food, most of the flower fairies planted the companion flowers in the soil, said goodbye to Ryan, and rested in the flowers very comfortably. Ryan magically sent the copper and iron back to their stone house, then returned to the lord's chamber with the Sunflower Flower Elf, the Wind Elf, and the Celestial Bird sleeping soundly on his shoulder, along with Andrew.

Andrew said goodbye to Ryan and left the room to go back to his bedroom.

The alien cubs, who were still digesting their strength, felt the familiar breath and slept soundly. The flower fairy inserted her sunflower into the flower pot, said goodnight to Ryan softly, and slept with the wind fairy in the flower.

Tusentoski was in their room in Ajel, and as Ryan put the bird into its nest and returned to his bedside to meditate, there was a soft knock on the door to the lord's bedroom.

Ryan magically pulled the door open inward, and Cecil entered, holding a thick magic envelope wrapped in the tip of a snake's tail.

Cecil stopped in front of Ryan and handed Ryan the magic letter curled up in his tail.

The surface of the magic letter was printed with a gargoyle pattern, Ryan reached out to take it, and took out the small straw basket containing two tiramisu from the spatial ring, "Thank you Cecil, it's so late and I bothered you to come over." ”

Cecil shook his head as he swallowed the snake letter, took the straw basket from his hand with the tip of his tail, and quietly waited for Ryan to check the letter.

Ryan opened the magic letter, which, as he thought, had been sent back by Atwood, along with two of Essex's letters to him and Isidore.

Ryan first opened Atwood's letter, and there was a parchment scroll inside, which stated that he had gained the trust of Essex, and together with Essex, he killed the soulless fake body, and called all the soldiers back to Ockel on the pretext of the lord's summons.

There is no need to collect Isidore's tokens, and Ryan is pleased with the speed of Essex and Atwood.

The borders of Oran are uninhabited, and even if someone takes advantage of their departure to occupy the border, it will be enough to fight back when the time comes, not to mention that he is a new nobleman appointed by the king of the imperial city.

Preventing Atwood from being pretended to be trusted by Essex as a bad guy, Ryan took out the quill and parchment scroll, and he also took out a seal that Isidore had asked for when he was looking for copper and iron. After writing his reply, Ryan packed the seal into the envelope for Atwood, and then opened the letter that Essex had sent back.

The Essex letter was similar to the Atwood letter.

Isidore was supposed to have a way to contact Essex, the letter was very sincere, and on the way back, Essex caught some strange thieves and rescued a merchant who had come to Oran to buy stones.

Essex is currently on his way back to Orlan with the rescued merchant and the strange thieves he caught.

Ryan was a little surprised that a merchant was willing to come to Oran, but only a little. Ryan also wrote a reply to Essex, and when he was done, he picked up the letter that Essex had written to Isidore.

Ryan was not in the habit of opening other people's letters, he took Isidore's envelope in his hand, and his mental power sensed that the light had not yet rested, so he turned his head sideways and said to Cecil: "Do you want to go with me to meet Isidore, or are you waiting for me here?" ”

Cecil raised his tail and followed Ryan, meaning to go with him.

Ryan put the two letters of reply into the envelope separately, turned around and left the room with Cecil with Essex's letter, and quickly stopped outside the bedroom where Isidore was resting.

Without Ryan raising his hand to knock on the door, Isidore, who felt him coming, immediately opened the door with magic.

Isidore, who had changed into a nightgown, lit the magic lamp, walked over to Ryan with a respectful attitude and asked, "Dear Lord Ryan, why are you here?" ”

"Cecil's friends, together with Essex, got rid of the fake Essex. I received a letter from Essex, and yours. ”

Ryan handed over Essex's letter, "I don't know if you need a reply, but we can send it together." ”

Isidore thanked Ryan and Cecil, reached out to take the letter, and opened it in front of them.

When Isidore finished reading the letter, he looked up at Ryan and replied, "Dear Lord Ryan, Essex said that it was not only those strange thieves, but he also felt a strange and dangerous feeling among the merchants who came to Oran, but that group of merchants did have proof that they came from the city of commerce. ”

Isidore pondered for a few seconds before looking up and asked, "Honorable Lord of Lane, do you need Essex to ask their true purpose on the way as an honorary paladin, or do you want to kill that group of people directly in secret?" ”

He would never have been able to say such a thing when he was the Son of Light, but now he is Isidore, the Light Mage of Oran.

And if there is something that can make Essex, who is a paladin, feel dangerous, it must be an extremely evil existence.

Ryan replied and asked, "Tong, do you know the identity of that group of merchants, and do the merchants prove it to be true?" ”

"There are real merchants there who have obtained merchant certificates, and their goal is indeed to come to Oran to buy stones."

The system replied calmly, "But if you see those merchants, you must not use time magic lightly, because there is a wisp of dark consciousness mixed with it. ”

Chapter 138

Although Oran used to be rich, but now there are few wanderers in poor Oran, but suddenly a group of thieves and a group of merchants have arrived.

"The thieves...... Could they be related to the people of Thunder City? ”

Ryan's eyes drooped slightly, and he continued to ask in his mind, "As for that ray of dark consciousness, what exactly does it refer to?" ”

"Thieves are real imposters."

The system simply answers, then remains silent and does not answer the latter question.

It's a real impostor, maybe it's not a thief from Thunder City, or a guy who came to scout for information. Combined with the system's mention of not using time magic, Ryan quickly made a decision in his mind, and he looked sideways at Isidore.

Isidore took out the letter paper and magic pen from the spatial ring, and looked at Ryan, "Lord Ryan, what do you mean?"

"Don't do anything for now, wait until they come...... Just let Essex pretend he doesn't know what to do. ”

Ryan whispered back, "If they really have merchants to prove it, even if Essex executes them in the name of an honorary paladin, it's not very appropriate. Maybe Essex was vaguely aware of the discomfort, maybe it was because there was no one among the merchants who could contact the demons of the City of Commerce. ”

"I see." Isidore felt that what Ryan said made sense, and quickly wrote on the parchment scroll with a quill in his right hand, and continued to ask after the reply was finished: "Dear Lord Ryan, tomorrow ...... Do I need to set up a Light Barrier in Orlan? Avoid that group of businessmen discovering things they shouldn't have discovered. ”

There are many secrets in Oran, but it is not difficult for merchants with merchant certificates to meet the lord of a small place, unless the lord is not at home.

Ryan thought for a moment, "It's good to set up a small enchantment, I'll go and explain the situation to Eli later, if that group of merchants comes to the castle and Eli will deal with it." Anyway, don't show your face yet, lest you fall into the trap of the City of Thunder. ”

"Yes, my lord."

Isidore put the letter he had written in the envelope, "If you are going to reply, please help you forward this letter to Essex, he should be back in two days." ”

Ryan whispered yes, and packed the three letters into an envelope, placing an enchantment on the surface of the letters. If someone other than Essex and Atwood had opened the letter, it would have been destroyed, and Ryan looked sideways at Cecil with a small straw basket hanging from the tip.

The small straw basket is not very large, and there is not much room for two tiramisu in it, and if you stuff a thick envelope into it, the surface of the envelope will definitely get dark chocolate powder.

Ryan condensed a magic paper crane in the air with his fingertips, pulled a spiritual power rope to scatter and wrap around the four corners of the envelope, making the envelope float with Cecil's side, and put some small chocolate desserts in the grass basket, "Thank you Cecil." ”

Isidore instantly understood that Cecil had brought the letter back, and bowed his head to Black Serpent in thanks. It's just that his attributes and Cecil's attributes are too opposite, and Isidore doesn't have anything suitable to give back.

Black Snake understood Isidore's eyes, smoothly supported the grass basket with the tip of his tail, and swallowed the snake letter to Ryan and Isidore to say no thanks.

Delivering a letter is a trivial matter for Snake Snake, but getting food from Ryan is a big deal.

Cecil rubbed his head against Ryan's palm, meaning that the duck meat was delicious.

Ryan smiled and touched his smooth scales, "The cake is delicious too." ”

Cecil looked sideways at the straw basket hanging from the tip of his tail, and wanted to eat it in one bite, but he wanted to share it with Katyusha.

The matter of replying to the letter was settled, and Ryan turned and retreated from the room with Cecil.

Ryan looked at Isidore and said, "See you tomorrow, rest Isidore early." ”

Isidore bowed back to the mage, "You too, may you have a good night's sleep." ”

*

Ryan and Cecil leave Isidore's room, and Black Snake swallows the snake letter, saying goodbye to Ryan and heading back in the direction of Katyusha's room.

There were no magic lights on the walls, and the feathers placed in the transparent magic balls shimmered, illuminating the corridor. Ryan walked down the corridor towards Eli's room, thought for a few seconds, then changed his words, and asked in a low voice in his head, "Are those merchants from the city of commerce?" ”

If it was a merchant from the City of Commerce, then Lisa and Stas might have to hide in the forest to avoid attracting the gaze of the greedy demon.

The system replied in a calm tone, "Their merchant proves to be usable, but the proof is not from the City of Commerce. ”

Ryan hummed softly, quickly comprehending the meaning, "So you mean, those merchants forged false evidence, right?" ”

"It can be understood that way."

System: "But it is difficult for ordinary people, including some of the main cities, to detect the authenticity of the proof, because the certificate bears the mark of the Temple of Light. ”

"The temple that prides itself on being bright has forged false testimony."

Ryan stopped in the corridor, "Then can I change my mind and let Essex kill them now?" ”

Good fellow, the fake certificate is playing on his head. After Isidore arrived in Oran, he was no longer very friendly with the Temple of Light, and it was better to strangle the danger in the cradle.

"Yes, but it's recommended not to kill them all." System: "While the merchant proves to be fake, their merchant identity is indeed real." ”

"That's related to the dark consciousness you talked about earlier."

Maybe there is a secret in it that is not easy to say directly, and the system is a little vague, but Ryan is not confused. He continued to walk towards Eli's room, and asked as if he was fine, "So what is that dark consciousness, and could it have something to do with the City of Thunder?" ”

It wasn't until Ryan was about to stop in front of Eli's door that the system lowered his voice and replied softly, "That consciousness possessed person is a doppelganger that Dylan successfully made with black magic. But the predecessor of the doppelganger, who had been the Pope's Guardian Knight, had been lost in a war of purification by dark magicians. ”

"The corpse of a dead or a living person is made into a body in black magic. Without the Pope's acquiescence, he would not have been able to get his hands on the knight's body. Ryan took a deep breath and exhaled, his mind full of doubts: "But Dylan, how did he do it?" ”

Musel, Orn...... The princes of the main cities, even the Pope of the Temple of Light, know it, and they don't know what price they have paid, and they can still get their hands on the Pope's guardian knights.

"That dark consciousness is attached to this body, what is he going to do when he comes to Oran?" Ryan clasped his fingers, "And I'm still a little puzzled, Dylan knows so many people, but why hasn't he really done anything to me?" ”

System: "50 gold." ”

Ryan: "Buckle." ”

"Thank you for your patronage."

System: "The dark consciousness may not be for you, but Dylan's doppelganger is for you." As for why Dylan didn't dare to make a move against you, it was because of the protection of the descendant of the gods in the imperial city, and the guardian of the stars, he was also monitoring Dylan's movements according to the king's orders, and you were the lord of the king's own orders. ”

"That is to say, if Dylan were to attack me himself, it would mean that he had challenged the majesty of the descendants of the gods, and it also gave the king a reason to sanction and execute him."

Ryan, who had once pretended to be the guardian of the stars, blinked, "But all of them, do I know even the descendant of the gods in the Imperial City?" ”

The system suddenly sighed and said, "If there are 1,000 moons in the sky, then at least 990 moons and countless stars are friends with one of the moons. ”

Ryan: "......"

Is that moon the god of the sea!

Although Ryan thinks that he does like to make friends, in this case, Aquaman must bow to the wind.

Ryan suddenly became confident, "With the protection of the gods, then am I invincible in the world?" ”

"The blessings of the gods have a time limit, and Dylan just can't do anything to you."

The system calmly replied: "And most people don't agree to Dylan's request, which is also because of the Imperial City." ”

Ryan felt that these things were getting more and more complicated.

Although he knew that the body was Dylan's doppelganger, and his predecessor was the Pope's guardian knight, Ryan did not know who that dark consciousness was. In the end, Ryan thought that he might know more if he met the king's birthday.

Ryan finished his conversation with the system, and raised his hand to tap on Eli's door.
