The wizard starts by trimming the donkey's hooves

With Grant's death, the huge ice shield formed by his innate magic began to disintegrate instantly!

And Ryan quickly pulled out the hardened fine gold short spear, but before pulling it out, he had used metal deformation to straighten and shorten the front end of the short spear.

"Plop!"

The sound of a heavy object falling to the ground rang out!

'Ice Messenger' Grant fell on his back on the ground, his eyes wide open, looking at the sky.

Ryan looked around with a calm look.

Although he killed people in the street, no one around dared to look at him.

Instead, the pedestrians who saw this scene, whether ordinary people or knights, saw their eyelids twitching and their mouths dry.

Because the man who was just killed was obviously a formal wizard, and as long as there was no problem with his eyes, he could see that the other party was also a rare ice wizard.

But now, the other party was lying on the ground, with a look of unwillingness to die.

This means that the strength of this young man is even higher than that of the powerful ice wizard, which naturally makes everyone in awe!

Claire's eyes widened at Ryan's clean kill, and she was stunned on the spot!

After a while, she murmured to herself: "It would be great if the family could have such a master."

And the one who was originally going to say that the other party seemed to be Ryan's maid Xia Diya, but she didn't say anything at this moment.

Because although the other party looked like Ryan, his strength was too strong, and the strength was not very similar to Ryan.

And Asani, who was not far away, was numb at this moment!

He dared to swear that his little eyes had never opened so wide in his life!

But the body of Grant, the 'Ice Messenger', was not far in front of him, and Asani could not refuse this result.

In an instant, he thought of many things!

For example, if this adult died here, it would definitely cause a lot of trouble for their auction house, although the other party was from the imperial capital.

In fact, when the ‘Ice Messenger’ Grant just arrived in Munster, Viscount Fabien had implicitly reminded him at the reception banquet, to the effect that if there was no absolute certainty, it was recommended to take action outside the city.

As a result, Grant said, ‘Are you teaching me how to do things?’, which made him blush.

Now it’s good!

‘Ice Messenger’ Grant is also quite famous in the imperial capital. The sword holder can investigate it and find out about the Axon Auction House.

Alas! What a matter!

No, I have to report to Viscount Fabien quickly and ask the head office to clean up the mess quickly, such as arranging an undercover identity for Grant.

Immediately, Asani turned around and went back with a fat body at a faster speed than when he came just now.

At this time, Ryan hung the hardened adamantine short spear in his hand on his knight’s arm armor, giving others a feeling that Ryan had already carried a short spear.

It can tactically mislead the enemy, so it can naturally be covered up a little.

In the battle just now, Ryan did not use his best hammer technique, nor did he use the advanced secret technique ‘Crushing Hammer’.

Throughout the battle, Ryan basically fought with metal deformation as the core.

Especially at the beginning, Ryan crushed the opponent's ice blade with one hand, which shocked the opponent for a short moment.

Although it was only a moment, when masters fight, being able to grab a moment means grabbing the initiative!

Ryan could feel that the opponent wanted to suppress him, so he instinctively chose to do the opposite.

In fact, facing the ice wizard, if the melee profession chooses to defend and counterattack, it basically falls into the opponent's attack rhythm, and the powerful witchcraft that follows will follow one after another.

Because the ice system is not the water system.

The low temperature unique to the ice system witchcraft will make people move stiffly, and the freezing of the ground will make the melee profession miserable. The battle rhythm is completely disrupted, and the level of ten can't play six points.

So, facing the attacking ice blade at the beginning, Ryan immediately decided - 'Since you intend to let me defend, then I will attack, and I will make you defend. '

Now it seems that it has achieved very good results.

Ryan bent down and picked up the crystal short staff next to the other party, which was faintly emitting energy fluctuations, and felt a chill in his hand.

Very beautiful weapon, it should be very valuable.

Because Ryan killed Grant too quickly, the guards at the entrance of the sword-bearing division not far away just noticed that the battle was about two or three hundred meters away, and it was over.

When the panicked crowd dispersed, the guards saw clearly that the person who was attacked was Lord Ryan who had just walked out of the gate!

He dared to attack and kill the sword-bearer at the entrance of the sword-bearing division. He was so brave!

This immediately made the guards angry and ran over immediately.

"Lord Ryan!"

"Go, contact the sheriff of the administrative district, Mr. Logan, immediately!"

"Protect the scene!"

The guards immediately put Ryan and the scene on alert.

Lord Ryan?

Shadiya, who heard the name in the carriage, suddenly widened her eyes. She quickly shook Claire, who was lost in thought, and said, "Miss! Miss! That's Ryan!"

"Huh?" Claire glanced at Shadiya, looking at a fool.

The opponent was able to kill Grant, the 'Ice Messenger'. This kind of strength is absolutely top-notch among the great knights. How could it be Ryan!

And Claire just repeatedly and carefully experienced the opponent's response at the beginning and the connection between the three moves, and she felt that it was quite helpful to her.

Just now she had been thinking about one thing, but after thinking for a long time, she still couldn't figure it out.

That is, if she was not mistaken, Grant, who cast the innate magic 'Ice Shield', clearly defended the opponent's attack, and Grant also dodged the position of the spear tip sideways, so how could he be hit in the middle of the forehead!

What's going on?

It's impossible that the short spear will turn, right?

Claire looked at the short spear on Ryan's arm armor, her eyes confused.

Although it is an administrative district, the security guards and the city guards always come a little later. Hearing what the guards of the Sword Bearer Branch said, a sword bearer was attacked at the entrance of his branch.

Everyone was immediately indignant, but after seeing the body, including the sheriff Logan, they were silent for a while.

The attacker was actually a formal wizard.

The power behind this is not ordinary!

At this time, Melanie, the deputy minister of the Ministry of Assistance and Promotion, who was in the administrative building, came out with a team of guards.

She had just walked out of the administrative building when she heard the noise outside the gate.

As she approached, she saw the large pieces of ice fragments on the ground and the white robed corpse lying on the ground. Her eyes suddenly shrank, and her eyes changed when she looked at Ryan again.

Although Melanie knew that Ryan was very strong, she didn't expect that he was so strong!

The other party was a rare ice wizard at first glance, and he died in Ryan's hands.

"Sir Ryan, are you not injured? I heard from the guards that you were assassinated just now?"

"Yes, Sir Melanie."

"It's really abominable, Sir Ryan, leave the follow-up to me." Melanie noticed the imitation emperor's scepter on Ryan's waist and knew that Ryan should have a mission.

"Okay, then trouble Sir Melanie." Ryan thought about it, and did not say that the other party might be instructed by the Axon Auction House, but took the crystal short staff and planned to leave.

Because some things are better to let others investigate.

At this time, Ryan suddenly noticed from the corner of his eye a luxurious carriage parked not far away.

This carriage seemed to have just been there when he started the battle, and he could sense that the people in the carriage should have observed him before.

However, when Ryan saw the familiar Kali bird emblem on the surface of the carriage, he couldn't help but be a little surprised.

Isn't this the emblem of the Habsburg family?

Why is the Habsburg family's carriage here?

At this time, the head maid Shadiya opened the door of the carriage with excitement and walked down a little hurriedly.

However, the other party seemed a little hesitant, so after getting off the carriage, she didn't come forward, but stared at Ryan.

Head maid Shadiya?

Why is she here.

Ryan was slightly startled, and then took the initiative to walk over.

At this time, Shadiya was much more excited than Ryan, because from the expression on the other party's face, Shadiya could be sure that the other party was Ryan!

It was really Ryan!

I was not wrong!

As for why Ryan's strength has become so strong, she couldn't figure it out, so she stopped thinking about it.

"Maid Shadiya, why are you here?" Ryan smiled and greeted.

"Baron Ryan, little..." Xiadiya was so nervous that her tongue was a little tied.

Because Ryan's momentum is too strong now.

Ryan came over with the aura of killing a formal wizard, which made Xiadiya, an ordinary person, feel nervous when facing Ryan.

At this time, a figure familiar to Ryan and who often appeared in his dreams when he was young walked down the carriage again.

This moment made Ryan's eyes widen, and he quickly blurted out:

"Miss Claire, shouldn't you be in the imperial capital?"

Claire smiled slightly and said: "Ryan, no, I should call you Baron Ryan now, long time no see!"

"Long time no see!"

Somehow, Ryan thought that his strength was far superior to the other party, but when facing the goddess in his heart during the boy servant period, he was still a little uncomfortable or a little nervous.

Looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar tall boy in front of him scratching his head, with a straightforward look, Claire couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle.

Suddenly, the plump and tight body trembled with laughter, beautiful beyond words.

Claire found that although the boy's strength had undergone earth-shaking changes, becoming even beyond her reach, his figure was no longer thin, but tall and burly.

But the clear eyes and familiar movements of the young man in front of her seemed to be the young Ryan in her memory.

"Ryan, it seems inappropriate for us to chat here, how about..." Claire calmed down, looked around and saw the eyes that frequently looked at her and Ryan, and said.

"Of course, Miss Claire, how about you go to my place and sit down, it's not far away."

"Okay, Baron Ryan, then please lead the way." Claire smiled lightly.

"Miss Claire, you should still call me by my name, Ryan, just like before."

The three of them did not get on the carriage, but walked towards the nearby villa.

It seemed that because they had not seen each other for more than half a year, although they did not feel strange, for a while, both of them did not know where to start.

At this time, Claire seemed to think of something, her face became serious, and she said: "Ryan, do you know the origin of the ice wizard who just fought with you?"

Ryan nodded.

"He should be sent by the Axon Auction House."

Claire looked at Ryan in surprise. She didn't expect Ryan to know the other party's origin.

It seems that there should be some entanglement between the boy in front of her and the Axon Auction House.

"Miss Claire, do you know this ice wizard?"

"Well, his name is Grant Savage, and he has the title of 'Ice Messenger'."

"I once met this man at the headquarters of the Axon Auction House in the imperial capital."

Claire's words made Ryan raise his eyebrows.

At first, he thought that it was the top killer hired by the Axon Auction House from somewhere?

But he didn't expect that the other party was actually a master under the name of the Axon Auction House.

They did this.

However, Ryan immediately thought of something and asked again:

"Miss Claire, during your time in the imperial capital, did you know the background of the Axon Auction House?"

Claire looked at Ryan with approval. She didn't expect that the boy in front of her realized the key to the problem so quickly.

"The major shareholder of the Axon Auction House is Duke Ferdinand, but it is said that the Axon Auction House is supported by the Second Prince of the Empire." Claire revealed a secret.

Hmm?

The Second Prince of the Empire?

"No wonder he is so arrogant." Ryan murmured.

"Yes and no."

"Oh, Miss Claire, is there any other explanation?" Ryan asked curiously.

"Well, in fact, some masters including Grant, the 'Ice Messenger', although they actually work for the Axon Auction House, on the surface, they belong to another independent mercenary group."

"Axon Auction House uses the method of purchasing services to obtain the services of these masters."

"Using this method, the auction can avoid a lot of unnecessary troubles. At the same time, it can also do some more sensitive things." Claire said slowly.

These secrets can only be easily understood in the Imperial Royal Academy, where there are many descendants of great nobles.

So that's it.

Ryan couldn't help but be stunned!

Isn't this the outsourcing he heard most often in his previous life?

If something goes wrong, the contract worker will take the blame?

Who said that the Dragun Empire is backward?

This point is very advanced!

Seeing that Ryan's face became not so good, Claire couldn't help laughing and said, "Ryan, the matter is not as exaggerated as you think. The other party has both witnesses and evidence. It will be difficult for Axon Auction House to not bleed this time."

"But if you want to find trouble with Axon Auction House from Grant, it will be more difficult."

Ryan nodded and said, "Well, thank you Miss Claire for clearing up the confusion."

Since Axon Auction House has a strong background, he naturally won't choose to hold on to it now.

Of course, this also depends on the follow-up of this matter. How will Axon Auction House deal with it? Otherwise

Soon, Ryan and his three people came to the villa.

The beautiful women Jennifer and Jenny were not there, but went out to see a noble mansion that was just about to be sold.

In the reception room.

After a few greetings, Claire organized her words a little in her mind. She planned to have a serious talk with Ryan about Meister.

At this time, there were hurried footsteps outside the door, and at the same time, a young and crisp female voice said:

"Sir Ryan, I heard that you were attacked. How are you? Are you not injured?"

The beautiful girl who suddenly appeared interrupted what Claire wanted to say.

"Alyosha, why are you here?" Ryan was slightly surprised and stood up.

Claire looked at the big-eyed cute girl who suddenly appeared outside the door, and realized at a glance that the other party must be from a noble family, and not an ordinary noble, because the layered tunic she was wearing at the moment had many pure gold applique embroidery.

From the style, it seems to be the latest model of Menel, a famous women's clothing brand in the empire, and it is expensive.

Claire carefully looked at the beautiful girl in front of her again, and she vaguely had a scholar's wisdom.

Alyosha seemed to be slightly surprised when he saw Claire, but soon he elegantly lifted the hem of his long coat and smiled and performed a lady's salute.

Then, he turned around and took a wooden box from the hand of the attendant beside him, and handed it to Ryan, saying:

"Sir Ryan, this is a special healing potion, which was made by my mentor, the pharmacist Cabrera of the Royal Pharmacist Association."

"This. Miss Alyosha, thank you for your concern."

When Claire heard the name of the pharmacist Cabrera, a flash of lightning flashed through her mind.

She remembered that the person in front of her was the famous genius pharmacist girl in the Royal Pharmacist College. She had heard about her friends even in the Imperial Royal College.

You should know that pharmacy is a subject that requires accumulation over time. In the entire empire, geniuses in pharmacy are actually much rarer than geniuses on the road of knights.

That's right, she remembered that Master Cabrera of the Royal Pharmacist Association accepted a talented pharmacy genius named Alyosha.

Claire also heard that the other party was the daughter of a marquis. Unexpectedly, the other party's attitude towards Ryan was so intimate.

For a moment, Claire felt uncomfortable.

how to say?

It's like a child has a toy of his own, but he doesn't usually play with it. It has been put aside for a long time. Suddenly one day, another child took a fancy to the toy and started playing with it with great interest.

This made Claire realize in an instant that even though the boy in front of her was still the same boy, the people and things around him were completely different.

at the same time.

Assani hurriedly rushed into the study on the third floor of Axon Auction House, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said hastily: "Lord Viscount, it's bad, Lord Grant was killed on the spot by Ren."

"What?" Viscount Fabien was leisurely sipping Yotun black tea, but at this moment, his right hand shook and he almost dropped the tea cup from his hand.

"Are you kidding? Assani! Even if Mr. Grant loses to Renne, he can't be killed on the spot by Renne!" Fabien immediately thought of something unreasonable.

"Really! Although I don't know why, Ren killed Lord Grant, the 'Ice Messenger' on the street. I wasn't the only one to see this scene, a group of people saw it!"

"Furthermore, Lord Viscount, you must have never imagined that! Renne only used three moves to kill Lord Grant!" Assani told with lingering fear.

"Three moves?" Viscount Fabien was stunned!

The more you talk about it, the more outrageous it becomes!

But what did Assani just say?

Attacked in the street?

That arrogant Grant actually attacked and killed an Imperial sword wielder in the street!

This idiot!

Is his brain also made of ice lumps?

Viscount Fabien also woke up immediately after losing his temper.

Now the trouble is here, Grant is dead when he dies, but the problem is, whether it is the sword holder or the administrative office, a little investigation can lead to them.

"Assani, contact the head office immediately! Report this situation immediately!"

"As you command, Lord Viscount."

Ten minutes later, there was a knock on the door!

"Dong dong dong!"

As soon as he opened the door, Viscount Fabien saw Logan, the Sheriff of the administrative district, looking at him seriously. At the same time, there was a capable young woman with a team of guards beside him.

"Viscount Fabien, excuse me!"

"This is Ms. Melanie from the Imperial Sword Bearer Division. We are investigating an attack."

"Just now, an Empire sword-wielder was attacked and killed on the street. Although the attacker was already killed, witnesses saw that the Axon Auction House received the attacker."

Viscount Fabien did not expect that the investigation would come so quickly!

He looked at the portrait of the attacker presented by Sheriff Logan and was silent for a while. After a long time, he said: "Mr. Morgan, Ms. Melanie, although we have received this Wizard Grant, in fact, I don't know why he Want to do this?”

"I think you two can write to our head office."

——

Meiste, Wolf Hills.

A secret place.

I saw a black flame monk wearing a black robe with black flames tattooed on his sleeves and collar, reporting something to a middle-aged man sitting on a large luxurious chair.

"Lord Bloodburner, we have just heard the latest news. Count Habus's daughter Claire seems to be returning to Meist from the imperial capital."

"I think if we can capture each other alive, we should be able to try to blackmail the Habs family." Black Flame Monk said.

"Oh, when will the other party come?" The middle-aged man seemed to be quite interested in the news.

"We should be able to arrive in the next two days. I have arranged for people to follow us both inside and outside the county."

"Very good, a good plan, but we need to further investigate the security forces around the opponent. We must succeed at the first time and don't alert the enemy."

"Forget it, I'll take action myself." The middle-aged man thought for a while and said.

"The old guy Habs has been seriously injured by Lord Freeman. His daughter should come back this time to help the Habs family maintain the situation in Mayist."

"The cornerstone of the Dragon Empire's rule is these feudal nobles. Without their constraints, Meist County, which lacks the Habs family, will soon be completely controlled by us."

"Now, several sects such as the Limbless Cult, Poseidon Cult, and Secret Snake Cult have restrained a large number of elite forces in the empire in other places. We must seize this opportunity."
