From pioneer lord to king

Chapter 141 The Weird Ring【4K】

After bidding farewell to Cheers, Ryan led the team back non-stop. He was concerned about the whereabouts of the thief, so he didn't dare to delay.

After two days of rushing, the group finally came to a newly built town in the territory. This was one of the three towns that Ryan had previously planned to build to house the refugees who fled.

After more than half a year of vigorous investment, this place has begun to take shape, with the appearance of a small town.The rice fields are about to enter the harvesting stage, and the farmers are working in the fields, occasionally laughing.

What the people at the bottom want is as simple as that, to have food to feed their stomachs, to live in earthen houses, to have clothes to keep out the cold...they are satisfied.

"He didn't choose to escape from the territory. Is it because he is a daring person, or..." Looking at the small town in front of him, Ryan narrowed his eyes slightly, although he already knew his hiding place in detail.

However, what kind of means the other party has, whether it is a transcendent, these are all unknown.

Their group looked very eye-catching and abrupt in this peaceful town. Fortunately, they all knew the military uniforms of the Kanna leader army, so they didn't cause any riots.

"Take your men and block off all the main roads in the town, and declare to the outside world that the lord is patrolling, so as not to cause riots and panic, but you must also pay attention to suspicious people with triangular eyes or sneaky behavior. kill!"

Ryan turned his head and said to his left and right commanders that he brought out only one team this time, only 100 people, which was a little short of manpower.

The soldiers unsheathed their sharp knives immediately and headed towards the various entrances and exits of the town, while Ryan himself led the rest of the people straight to the thief's residence.

Soon, they came to a remote and dilapidated thatched hut, which was obviously an old building, because the town was expanded on the basis of a village, and this kind of marginal building with no influence would not be pulled down reconstruction.

They are often used as temporary residence for the refugees assigned here. Although there is no refugee area in Kana now, there are refugees rushing to Kana collar all the time. They will be assigned to various small towns, waiting for housing and housing arrangements. land.

"This guy is really smart. He pretended to be a refugee and lived here. He stole my old nest and is still receiving my relief money. He is so defiant!"

With anger in his eyes, Ryan ordered the soldiers to seal off the hut. He pushed the door and entered alone, without the expected sneak attack and resistance.

Very quiet, eerily quiet.

On the dilapidated bed, a figure was sleeping on it. In such a hot weather, he was covered with a thick quilt, which looked abnormal no matter what.

And it's daytime now, and the other party, as a fugitive, is unaware of the movement outside, which is too suspicious.

The doubts in Ryan's heart became more and more intense. He pulled out his saber and carefully lifted the quilt off his body, revealing the pair of triangular eyes specially marked in the information, which looked really wretched.

It's just that his current state is obviously not very good, his face is gray, his eyes are sunken, his lips are blue, his body is thin, and he looks like a manifestation of excessive indulgence.

But Ryan doesn't think so. Can such a thing sneak into a defensive and airtight castle?What a joke.

Looking at his slightly rising and falling chest, he can be sure that he is still alive, but his breath is weak, and he is probably not far away from death.

He patted his face with the blade of the knife, but there was no reaction.

Ryan frowned, what's going on, could it be that rat caller did it again?Not only providing information, but also directly solving the target?

The service is so considerate?If something goes wrong, there must be a demon. He didn't believe it was so simple.

The soldier who called the guard outside said: "Take this guy under control, you must treat it with the highest standard, and then carefully check to see if there are any wounds, whether it is poisoned or something, in short, I need him to live now, and search for the stolen goods by the way. .”

"Obey, Lord Baron!" The soldier gave a military salute, and then went outside to prepare, and soon he brought an iron rope as thick as a forearm, and tied it firmly to the thief.

With this specification, Ryan could only stare blankly when he was tied up.

Ryan nodded in satisfaction, and then called another soldier and said, "Call the mayor of the town to see me, I have something to ask him."

The soldiers took the order to leave, and Ryan went outside, quietly waiting for the inspection results and the mayor.

The mayor of the town is an extremely fat and short middle-aged man. Ryan and the others made such a big commotion, of course, as the mayor of the town, it is impossible for him not to know.

After receiving the news, he rushed over at a speed of almost [-] meters. When he arrived, he saw the soldiers slashing their swords and their eyes were fierce. He felt a little guilty and didn't dare to take the initiative, so he had to stand in the crowd and wait.

Under the scorching sun, the pores on his body were sizzling with oil, mixed with sweat and dripping down, which made people feel disgusted. His fat and short hands held a soaked handkerchief and kept wiping his forehead , My heart is up and down.

After such a long time, everyone has figured out the lord's temper after he came out to hang out. He is afraid that something will happen to him here, and it will be uncomfortable at that time.

Just when he was about to pass out from waiting, a soldier came forward and asked loudly, "Is the mayor here? Your lord is looking for him!"

The fat mayor suddenly woke up like a dream, and quickly waved: "I am here, I am here."

While shouting, he moved his chubby lower limbs and squeezed out of the crowd with difficulty. It was only a short distance, and he was almost exhausted to death. It felt like lunch was about to be squeezed out.

After taking a few breaths violently, he nodded and said, "I... yes, I am the mayor, Forma."

The soldier obviously didn't expect the mayor to be such a "monster", and he was slightly taken aback before letting Forma follow him.

Ryan sat high on the horse, watching a lump of "meat mountain" approaching towards him, he couldn't help but widen his eyes. It is no exaggeration to say that the pigs he raised all year round in his previous life did not have this size. Tire feed?
Looking at his extremely uncoordinated legs, Ryan was afraid that they would break off in the next moment. Seeing that he was about to bow and salute, Ryan quickly waved his hands and said, "No need to be too polite, just move him a stool."

Forma glanced at him gratefully. Standing was indeed a heavy burden for him. The soldier brought a bamboo chair, and he sat down on it. The bamboo chair made a "creak" sound immediately.

He glanced at Ryan with embarrassment on his face.

Ryan frowned indiscriminately. He didn't look like an official, who was full of food.

He suppressed the dissatisfaction in his heart and said, "Your name is Forma, right? Do you have any impression of who lives here?"

Forma wiped the sweat from his brow, thought carefully, and said with a smile on his face: "Go back to Lord Baron, I have an impression that he is a refugee who arrived in the territory a week ago.

According to the policy you set, after basic inquiries and inspections, I sent someone to arrange accommodation and relief for him, which should have arranged work for him.

But his health didn't seem to be very good, he looked very weak, and he couldn't even walk steadily.I thought it was because he had been hungry for too long on the way to escape and his body was weak, so I made an exception and let him rest for a few more days.

There were no other refugees during this period, so he has been living here alone, and two meals a day were delivered, and he never went out.Did he do something wrong? "

At the end, he asked a question cautiously.

Ryan was a little surprised. He didn't expect that the mayor, who was as fat as a pig, actually knew something.

How did he know that the reason why Forma had such an impression on the little refugee was that the "rent" was too much, and the money was not something a refugee could afford.

But, what does it matter?The other party will leave after staying for a period of time, and I will get a large amount of money, even if the other party is a wanted criminal, it doesn't matter, as long as he leaves on time, who would know that he is still involved?
It's a pity that the weather is unpredictable. Before the appointed time, Ryan came to kill him. When he knew that the lord sent troops to surround the town, he even had the urge to run away for a moment.

Fortunately, he remembered in time. The servant he sent out to deliver food at noon today said that the man seemed to be dying. He didn't eat the food he delivered. He didn't get up from morning to afternoon to collect the dishes, and there was no food. moved.

Luckily, he thought in his heart, what if the other party has already gone to see the Lord of Holy Light?Don't you just sit back and relax?That's why I mustered up the courage not to run away directly.

Perhaps he should be grateful for this choice, because the soldiers outside the town have already been ordered, and anyone who wants to run away will be caught or killed on the spot!

Ryan didn't know the twists and turns inside, but felt that he was still judging people by their appearance after all. Although the other party was fatter than a pig, he was not a vegetarian after all.

After pondering for a while, he knew from Forma's words that the thief had already behaved abnormally when he came, perhaps this was the reason why he hadn't left the territory yet.

After leaving here, there is no human habitation for nearly a hundred miles outside the territory, and if you are in ill health, you can only wait for death.

But why did such a thief become physically ill after fleeing for such a short distance?

"Could it be that someone killed someone to silence him? That's not right. If that's the case, there's no reason for him to live until now. Could it be that he was poisoned?"

The thoughts in Ryan's mind were not smooth, and it was a bit difficult to start.

Just as he was pondering, the soldiers in the room had already checked, he stepped forward respectfully and said: "There is no wound on the target, and it doesn't seem to be poisoned, and I don't understand the reason for the coma for the time being.

We found this under his bed, full of tools and gold and silver jewelry, it should be the stolen property of the castle. "

The soldier handed over a leather armor, the pockets of which were densely packed were bulging. At least Ryan saw his stolen gems.

When Forma on the other side heard that the other party was only in a coma, his heart suddenly became cold, and when he heard that the stolen goods of the castle were searched, he suddenly felt a little dizzy, and he was going to be killed this time!
Ryan picked up a few tools inside and glanced at it, then snorted coldly, and two scorching air streams spewed out of his nose.

Forma was startled, and the sweat on his body became more severe.

Ryan looked at him strangely, why did this guy react so much.

"This thief can't die for the time being, pass the order down and take the team back to the city."

"Obey!" The soldiers immediately reined in their horses and told all squads to withdraw.

Ryan glanced at Forma appreciatively and said: "You did a good job, I will tell Hevian when I go back and deal with the matter, wait for the reward."

His words made Forma want to cry. If the man died, he would happily wait to receive the reward. The key is that he is still alive, although it sounds like he won't live long.

But who is the lord?If he is saved, and the other party confesses himself again and convicts him of harboring a fugitive, wouldn't the crime of negligence and dereliction of duty be over?
"This... this is what I should do." With tears in his eyes, Fuerma struggled to bow his body to salute, using it to hide the panic on his face.

"Isn't it just a reward? As for being moved like this? Could it be that the salary I gave them is too low?" Ryan reflected on himself, but didn't delve into it, and hurried away with the team...

Back in the castle, Ryan first gave him a whole alchemy potion and took it, but it didn't get any better, and the people who called the pharmacy couldn't see why.

Ryan suddenly became a little numb. It is too difficult in this world without a medical system.

"Should we still go to Hawley City to invite a priest back?" Looking at the half-dead thief, Ryan thought to himself.

Just the next moment, he keenly found something in the opponent's hand, it was a ring, nothing special, just inlaid with a black gemstone.

It was the Viscount Kaiser's one that Ryan captured before, but he never found it useful. He wore it for a long time, but he didn't notice anything special about it.

But at this moment, even though it was still the same ring without any changes, he felt that the ring seemed to be different, and that was a deep feeling.

He took off the ring, wrapped it up with his spiritual power and inspected it carefully, and he really discovered the clue. The inlaid gem gave off an uncomfortable aura.

That kind of feeling is very faint, if it is not for Ryan's spiritual power to wrap it up, he will not be able to find it.

"Why is there such a change? Could it be that it is behind the scenes?" Ryan quickly connected the two, and there seemed to be no logical problem.

It's just that he wore it for so long, during which Liman also took it to study, and nothing happened. Why is it different on him alone? Is there anything special about him?
At this moment, the thief's gray face was slowly returning to normal, his blue lips gradually became rosy, and his breathing gradually became stronger.

Now it's a real hammer, it's the ring that has a problem!

Ryan seemed to have thought of something, put his hand on the other person's forehead, and the mental power spread out, turning up and down his whole body.

"Sure enough, he doesn't have extraordinary power in him, he is a mortal. And since this ring appeared, both I and Liman have been extraordinary.

Although Kaiser, who was the first to handle it, was also a mortal, he hid it in his clothes instead of wearing it. It was obviously more convenient to carry it, but he didn't.

Obviously he knows something, so it makes sense! "

Ryan suddenly understood, and suddenly felt that he had grasped the truth of the matter!
