Chapter 273 Proof (Two chapters in one)

Hearing what the other party said, Ryan couldn't help but become curious and looked up at the other party.

The messenger seemed to be organizing his words, and he only heard: "Lord Ryan, it is like this. Due to confidentiality, I only know that a team of sword bearers from other provinces is coming this time."

Ok?
Sword-wielding teams from other provinces?
"In addition, Lords Yumaz and Olena also coordinated other special departments."

Ryan nodded and said, "Are they all reinforcements?"

"Well, I'm not sure about that. Mistress Olena will come in person tomorrow to coordinate this operation. You can ask her then."

"Tomorrow?"

"Yes, Lady Olena should be here by tomorrow afternoon," the messenger said.

"In that case, I have no problem with it. We'll just have to wait for Lady Olena to arrive tomorrow and discuss the details," Ryan said.

"Okay, Master Ryan. By the way, Master Olena asked me to ask you, is there anything else you need?"

"Hmm," Ryan looked thoughtful.

"Please get me ten hardened adamantium ingots."

"Hardened adamantite ingots? Uh, okay, no problem." Although the messenger was a little confused, he nodded in agreement.

Just after noon the next day, Olena, the capable young woman who was the deputy director of the mission hall affairs of the Sword Bearer Branch, rushed to Meister.

In the Earl's living room.

As soon as they met, the capable young woman smiled and said, "Sir Ryan, congratulations!"

"Huh? Congratulations on what?" Ryan looked confused.

Could it be that Olena was congratulating me on the two gold-level tasks I had completed while in Welsh County?

"Hehe, Lord Ryan, you still don't know?"

"That's right. You were not in Munster before. The branch found that your merits were sufficient, so they applied for the title of Viscount for you. Just yesterday, the approval came down. Lord Viscount Ryan!"

"Thank you!" Ryan's face showed realization. He knew about this matter, but he didn't expect it to happen so soon.

It seems that Alyosha's father, Special Envoy Javier, should have played an accelerating role.

It really is true that 'it's easier to get things done if you have someone in the court', and this also applies to other worlds.

"Boom boom boom!"

At this time, a male servant reported, "Lord Ryan, a carriage has arrived outside, and the other party said they are from the province of Gnom."

"It seems that they are here. I will go to greet them. Lord Ryan, will you come with us?" Olena said as she stood up with a smile.

"Okay." Ryan didn't have time to ask Olena some questions just now. Besides, he was a little curious about the sword-bearing team from another province.

The two arrived at the door. At this time, the people in the luxurious carriage seemed to see Olena and Ryan, and three people walked down from it one after another.

All three of them were men. A tall and thin young man wearing leather armor came down, looked around, and smiled at Ryan and Olena.

The other was a young man in a robe, holding a book with a gold cover. He nodded to the two of them and then focused his attention on the book again.

The last one to come down was a strong middle-aged man wearing knight armor and carrying a knight's sword on his waist. He had a blank expression on his face. Judging from his aura, he seemed to be a top knight and should be the captain of this team.

"This must be Captain Langgel, I am Olena, the deputy officer in charge of the mission hall affairs of the Munster Swordbearer Branch. Hello." Olena took the initiative to greet him and said with a smile.

"Hello." The strong middle-aged man named Langgel nodded to Olena and said.

Then, the other party looked at Ryan.

It seemed that Langgel discovered that Ryan's aura was only at the level of a senior great knight. He took a quick glance at him, then looked away and looked around with a slightly disappointed look on his face.

"Captain Langgel, this is Viscount Ryan, also..." Olena introduced.

Langgel waved his hand and said coldly, "Let's go to the conference room first. There are too many people here and they are talking nonsense."

"Well, ok Captain Langgel, let's go to the meeting room." Olena glanced at Ryan and found that there was no anger on his face, so she immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

After all, young people are more energetic!
This Captain Langgel is really something. He didn’t even let people finish their introduction.

It doesn't look that easy to deal with! Olena thought to herself.

Ryan nodded and didn't say anything, but he didn't go up to him and say anything to Langgel.

At this time, the young man in leather armor was very familiar with the situation. He walked up to Ryan and said with a smile, "Don't mind. Our captain has this kind of personality."

"By the way, you look very young, but you are already a viscount? What's your name here? Habsburg? The son of Count Habsburg?"

"No." Ryan shook his head, feeling a little speechless.

The captain of this team from Gnom Province has a dull expression and the team members are chatterboxes.

A group of people walked into the luxurious conference room of Earl Habsburg's mansion.

In addition to an oil painting, there were shields, axes and other weapons hanging on the walls on both sides. In the corners around, there were four fully armed knight dummies, and the surface of their silver armor was polished to a shine.

After looking around, the burly man named Langgel spoke up, slightly displeased, "Sir Olena, where is your team? Hasn't it arrived yet?"

"Well, let me introduce you. This Viscount Ryan represents the team of our branch." Olena said quickly.

At this moment, she suddenly thought of a question.

Although Ryan was the captain of the team, his other two team members were not here. At that time, Ryan came alone to carry out Meister's mission, and it was with his own special approval.

But the problem now is that this will cause misunderstanding to the sword-wielding team in the Gnom Province.

Olena's words obviously stunned several people!
"Besides this young man, what about the others? For example, the team captain?" Langgel glanced at Ryan, then turned to ask Olena.

"This." Olena looked embarrassed and thought to herself, as expected.

"I am the captain. Currently, I am the only one in our team who can participate in this mission." Ryan said.

"Hmm?" Langgel and the other two looked at Ryan.

"Sir Olena, your branch doesn't take this mission seriously enough! You only sent a team of just one person?" Langgel said in a deep voice, looking annoyed.

"Originally, the mission was within your province of Munster and should have been led by you, but now it seems that this is a very dangerous thing."

Mission leadership?
Ryan didn't mind it, but the other party seemed to have gone a little too far.

At this time, the servant came over again and reported: "Sir, outside the door"

"No need to report. Hi~ Sir Ryan, we meet again!" A voice that Ryan was somewhat familiar with suddenly sounded at the door.

Then, a female knight wearing half-body armor that still couldn't hide her good figure walked in with a smile on her face.

"Alexandra?" Ryan was quite surprised.

Yesterday he heard from the messenger that someone from other special departments might come as well, but he didn't expect it would be his 'old acquaintance' Alexandra.

"Yes, Lord Ryan, don't you know that it is our Slittooth Bear Team that is coming this time?" Alexandra, with a scent, sat down next to Ryan and started chatting as if no one was around.

Although not all of the other four members of the Slittooth Bear Team were rescued by Ryan that time, they naturally knew Ryan. They immediately greeted Ryan with a smile and then sat down.

Beautiful women always attract people's attention wherever they go. The three sword-bearers from the Gnome Province looked at each other, and none of them understood why this team of Earthshakers respected this young man so much.

"Hey, Master Olena, now that everyone is here, shall we talk about the mission?"

"Of course, Captain Langer, please go ahead."

"Let me first introduce the situation of the Secret Snake Cult. Two people came here this time. One is the High Priest Ganon and the other is the High Priest Holden. Both are sorcerers. We have almost no information on Ganon."

"But this Holden is a sorcerer who has merged the essence of the Shadow Serpent and can use the Shadow Serpent's innate witchcraft. He is very tricky."

Ok?
The high priest and the chief priest?

Ren frowned slightly.

The chief priest represents the person in charge of a cult in a certain county, so the high priest, even if he is not the person in charge of a province, must be a person who ranks among the top few in the cult in the province.

Such a big figure in the cult came to Meister?

Was it that the conditions promised by the Black Flame Cult were generous enough, or was there something about Mayest that attracted them? Ryan guessed.

"Do we know their purpose now?" Olena asked the question that Ryan wanted to ask.

"It's not clear yet. It seems that there is something that the Secret Snake Cult values ​​very much, and it's in Meister. That's why these two people rushed here." Langgel shook his head slightly and said.

After Langgel finished his introduction, it was Olena's turn to introduce:
"Everyone, let me introduce the situation of the Black Flame Cult in Mayest. According to the latest intelligence, the Black Flame Cult in Mayest County is roughly divided into two groups."

"One group was led by Laxul, nicknamed 'Blood Burner'. It was this group that committed many atrocities in Meister, performing various blood sacrifices and prayer rituals."

"The whereabouts of the other group are more secretive. They are led by a man named Freeman. They also seem to be looking for something in Meister."

"According to our analysis, 'Blood Burner' Laxul is here. Everything he does seems to be an attempt to attract our attention."

"And Freeman is in the dark, but we can't tell what they are looking for at the moment."

"However, we have basically determined the enemy's activity area, which is mainly in the Wild Wolf Hills and the southwest of Shining Gold Town. This means that what they are looking for is likely to be in this area."

"That's all the information we have. As for how to proceed, we still need your suggestions."

After Olena finished her introduction, many people looked thoughtful.

"Since we can determine the approximate range of their activities, my suggestion is to concentrate our elite forces and kill a group of enemies before the Secret Snake Cult arrives. They are the Black Flame Cult!"

"I suggest that our Blade Squad and Earthshaker's Rifttooth Bear Squad go directly to Wolf Hills. As for the Viscount, you can choose to stay here." Langgel glanced at Ryan and said.

As soon as the other party finished speaking, the five members of the Earthshaker team raised their heads and looked at the burly man named Langgel in surprise, as if they were looking at a fool.

Both of them, including Alexandra, had been rescued by Ryan from the cave of the Blood Curse Naga, so they naturally knew how powerful this young Lord Ryan was. He was a monster who could rescue them from the hands of the "Tide Piercer" who was comparable to the title knight.

Now you are going to raid the enemy's lair, but you leave such a great master behind at home?

Did something go wrong?
What a bullshit suggestion!
Of course, the Earthshakers could see that the strong man who was speaking was very powerful and not easy to mess with. However, Alexandra did not tolerate him and muttered:
"What a joke! Let Lord Ryan stay? And then let Lord Ryan save us again?"

The sound was neither too loud nor too soft, just loud enough for everyone in the conference room to hear.

At first, Langgel felt uncomfortable when he was stared at by the members of the Snipertooth Bear Squad.

Now hearing what the beautiful knight said, he immediately became a little angry and embarrassed.

He suddenly stood up and walked to the knight armor dummy in the corner of the conference room.

"Shh!"

"Clang!!!"

There was a cross of silver light flashing, and the knight dummy was instantly cut into four pieces and fell to the ground.

"At least intermediate-level swordsmanship"

"Coupled with the strength of the peak great knight, it is indeed very strong!"

Suddenly, the members of the Sharktooth Bear Squad stopped staring at each other and started whispering.

"I think there should be no problem with my plan." Langgel, who took back the knight's sword, looked around and said in a deep voice.

Ryan didn't mind who led the mission.

But when the Blade Squad Captain Langgel made the suggestion, he felt that he needed to say something.

Because Ryan considered that the Black Flame Cult was difficult to deal with, and now with the addition of the Secret Snake Cult, he still needed help.

If this group of people act rashly and cause heavy casualties, it will not be a good thing for him.

"I'm afraid that the strength of this 'Blood Burner' Laxul is much stronger than that of the average high priest. Add to that the words of Freeman who doesn't know his own limits. I don't recommend you do this."

"It's very likely that the raid will not be successful, but instead result in heavy casualties," Ryan said.

"How do you know that this Laxul is much stronger than the average high priest?" Langgel asked back.

"Because the chief priest of the Black Flame Cult in Wales County who I killed two days ago was once the deputy of this Laxusul, but he was already very difficult to deal with. So, I believe that this Laxusul is very powerful."

Langgel was startled when he heard this. He looked at Ryan seriously, seemed a little unconvinced, and said, "Huh? You killed the chief priest of a cult in an entire county by yourself?"

"how to prove?"

"I can prove it to Viscount Ryan!" said Olena, the capable young woman standing by, straightening her back.

Although Olena said this, the members of the Blade Squad, including Langgel, still looked at Ryan with suspicion.

This made Ryan feel quite unhappy.

I gave you a kind reminder, but you took it as a fool.

However, even though it was unpleasant, we still had to stop them.

Ryan glanced at the knight dummy in the corner and thought that perhaps he should learn from Langgel's display of strength, which would save him a lot of trouble.

Once a battle breaks out, his strength will be exposed sooner or later. Instead of that, it is better to show his strength now.

Thinking of this, Ryan also stood up and walked to the knight dummy in the other corner.

Everyone couldn't help but look at Ryan with some curiosity.

Many people secretly speculated that
The next second, Ryan suddenly pulled out the skull hammer, and in front of everyone's horrified gaze, he quickly hit the knight dummy.

"Buzz!" A sharp vibration sound was heard.

Then, "Crash!"

The steel knight dummy was shattered into small steel chunks the size of a fingernail and scattered all over the ground.

"High-level secret!" The talkative young man from the Blade Team looked at the scene in amazement.

The young man who had been holding the book with a gold cover also raised his head and looked at Ryan carefully.

Langgel looked at the scene in astonishment!
The other party looks like he is less than 20 years old, but he has mastered the advanced secrets?
Langgel felt like he was living like a dog all this time!

Ryan looked at the pile of small steel blocks and thought to himself, 'I don't know if this knight dummy is an antique. Two of them are broken. I hope Claire won't blame me when the time comes.'

"Well, since Lord Ryan thinks it's inappropriate, let's put it aside for now." Langgel said, forcing a smile on his face.

The meeting ended quickly in a friendly atmosphere, and the final consensus reached was to explore the enemy situation first.

Everyone left and went to rest in the pre-arranged guest rooms. There were more than enough guest rooms in the Earl's mansion.

Alexandra deliberately walked in front of Ryan, and her slim waist and plump buttocks began to sway.

When they reached the door, the other party suddenly stopped, turned around and said:

"Sir Ryan, I haven't thanked you for what happened last time. How about coming to my room and sitting down?"

Alexandra said as she licked her red lips with her pink tongue.

Ryan was stunned when he heard this!
Sit down?

I'm afraid I'll just do it!
At this time, Alexandra slowly stretched out her hand and placed it on Ryan's muscular chest, her beautiful brown eyes staring at Ryan in a drawing-like manner.

This made Ryan feel overwhelmed!
"Uh Alexandra, what happened last time was what I should have done."

At this moment, suddenly, Ryan felt someone was staring at him and he couldn't help but look up.

Shatia, who was wearing a maid outfit, was seen at one end of the corridor. She looked at Ryan and Alexandra calmly and pursed her lips.

Although the other party didn't say anything, Ryan still felt a little embarrassed to be seen by Xia Diya.

"Hey Alexandra, I need to go to the training room now to practice my fighting skills. We'll talk next time."

"Oh? Lord Ryan likes to be in the training room? That's no problem." As she spoke, Alexandra suddenly noticed the unnaturalness on Ryan's face and followed his gaze.

I saw a maid in her thirties or forties with a dignified appearance standing at one end of the corridor.

Alexandra glanced at Shadiya, then looked at Ryan, and immediately laughed and said:
"Huh? Lord Ryan, it turns out you like this type."

"She looks like a nun on the outside, but when she gets up, she looks crazy. It turns out you like contrasts! I understand, sister."

Alexandra did not deliberately lower her voice, so Shadiya could hear it clearly.

Her originally calm face could no longer hold back, her face immediately turned red, and she turned around and staggered away quickly.
"Bah! Such a slut can only be dealt with by the young lady!" Xia Diya said angrily.

But for no reason, the head maid's mind flashed through the image of Ryan's young and strong figure——
That night.

Meister County, southwest of Goldshire, Elim Mine.

A group of people in black robes gradually walked into the depths of the mine.

Soon, after passing a fork in the mine, several men in black robes came to a newly excavated area with an amber translucent wall in front and stopped.

I saw a huge creature, which could be vaguely seen through the amber wall. It seemed that it was sealed inside by some powerful force, but after a long time, the energy of the seal was exhausted.

The two people from the Secret Snake Cult became excited immediately, but the High Priest Ganon quickly calmed down and said:

"This is a ground snake for sure!"

"Sir Laxul, may I ask what you need us to do?"

Laxul glanced at the other party approvingly and thought to himself, he is indeed an old fellow, he is really on the right track.

"Our mission this time is to destroy the Dragun Empire's rule in Meister. There are two things that require your help."

"The first thing is a small problem we have encountered. There is a senior knight named Ryan who is guarding the Archon of Mayest, Count Habsburg, and his heirs. I hope your church can help solve the problem."

"Ok?"

"Just a senior knight?" The high priest and Holden looked at each other and were both surprised.

Such a simple exchange?

"You two Excellencies, please do not underestimate him. Although he is only a senior knight, he is a captain of gold-level sword bearers and his combat power should not be underestimated."

Laxul saw the expressions of the two people, thought about it, and decided to tell them all the information he had.

After all, if these two people from the Secret Snake Cult failed, firstly, it would not be of any benefit to their side, and secondly, the people from the Secret Snake Cult would think that they were trying to trick them.

If I explain the situation clearly, I won't have to take the blame if the other party fails.

"A gold-level swordsman?" High Priest Ganon still kept smiling, nodded, and continued to ask: "How strong is he?"

"He is a senior knight who has mastered intermediate or advanced hammer skills, and is very powerful. In addition, he seems to have a natural talent for physical strength, and can perform multiple skills in a row without becoming exhausted."

As Laxul spoke, he gave the two people some of the content that was dictated by the two surviving Protestants.

It's not that Laxul deliberately concealed anything, but the matter of the golem guard was a secret within the church and naturally could not be revealed directly. But in other aspects, he thought he had made it very clear.

In addition, there was a thin mist in the woods at the time. The two surviving Protestants were most impressed by Ryan's repeated knockdown of the golem guards, but they did not see clearly the scene where Ryan changed his shield to block.

"Do you have a special talent, and have mastered intermediate or even advanced mysteries?"

"It is indeed a bit tricky. I'll leave this matter to you, Holdan." The High Priest Canon of the Secret Snake Cult smiled and turned to Holdan who was standing beside him and said.
