Chapter 315 Siren (two chapters in one)

"Okay, Lord Ryan." Olena nodded and said.

At this moment, Ryan was thinking about two things in his mind.

The first thing is whether he should take Anna with him when he goes to the Blood Curse Naga Cave?
For the Sam's Group from the imperial capital, there are no major concerns about taking action in the city of Munster. This can be seen from the attitude of the original 'Bloodtop Mercenary Group'.

As a mercenary group from the imperial capital, they have an innate feeling of superiority. Even if they fail in a battle, they will think that they have simply capsized in a ditch.

Therefore, once he leaves Munster, the other party will most likely kidnap Anna directly.

Naturally, he couldn't accept this.

In this case, he decided to take the initiative and eliminate the hidden dangers in the bud.

As for the Duke of Durham who came to his door afterwards, he also found a suitable excuse.

'Sam's group sent people to follow Anna, and he went to her house to ask for an explanation, but Sam's group took the initiative to attack him, and then he wiped out Sam's group.'

This was the explanation Ryan had come up with.

As for whether the Duke of Durham believed it or not, that was another matter.

As for the second thing, let’s talk about it after the first thing is done.

"By the way, Lady Olena, please help our team arrange the earliest Imperial military airship to Meister this afternoon." Ryan looked up and said to Olena.

"Sir Ryan, why don't you choose the morning?" Olena seemed a little puzzled.

"In the morning, I have a little thing to take care of." Ryan smiled and said.

Fifteen minutes later.

Munster Auctioneers.

Viscount Fabien was leisurely sitting in his office, leaning back in a large armchair, sipping a glass of Yodon black tea with an extremely comfortable look on his face.

Ever since he diverted the conflict between the two big shots, Sam and Ryan, and let them resolve it themselves two days ago, Fabien instantly felt a lot more relaxed.

At the same time, he was also quite proud of his own intelligence and talent.

For this reason, he also thought of a sentence to evaluate himself, which is "Big men come and go, but Fabien is forever."

No matter how the equity changes or how the struggles unfold in the Axon Auction House, he, as an old employee of the Münster branch, can still stay in his position and still live a comfortable life in the cracks.

That’s the thing!
"Dong dong dong!" There was a knock on the door.

"Come in!" Fabien said casually.

"Pfft~"

After Fabien saw clearly who the person who came in was, the Yodon black tea in his mouth suddenly sprayed out, splashing all over his body. The table was also covered with tea, looking quite embarrassing.

But he didn't have time to wipe it, and immediately stood up in a hurry and shouted respectfully:

"Master Ryan, why are you here?"

Although he is also a viscount and Ryan is also a viscount, there is a difference between viscounts.

He was able to become a viscount only after relying on his family connections and trying his best.

But Ryan is different.
Viscount, that was just a small node in the other party's promotion.

If Fabien doesn't understand this, then all his time will be in vain.

"Sir Fabien, excuse me for bothering you. I want to ask you something." Ryan smiled and went straight to the point.

"Please go ahead, Lord Ryan, please take a seat." Fabien nodded quickly and said.

"I want to ask, where is Mr. Sam staying now? I want to visit him."

"this and that"

Fabien wiped the sweat from his forehead, his eyes wandering.

Although Ryan's tone was quite calm, he knew that there was a high probability that Ryan was going to cause trouble for the other party himself.

It sounds nice to say, "visit", but I'm afraid a fight might break out after just a few words.

The key is that he doesn't want to get involved in this matter!

If he led Ryan, then if Sam's group came to trouble him later, he would be in trouble. But if he didn't tell them.
It seems the problem is more serious!
It is very likely that he will be in trouble now.

It’s very simple to choose.

"It seems that Sir Fabien doesn't want to help me with this."

"No, no, Lord Ryan, of course I am willing. They are staying in a guest house not far from here. I will take you there right away." Fabien said quickly.

"Very good." Ryan nodded with satisfaction.

He planned to get rid of Sam's group before going to Meister.

Soon, Ryan, Fabien and their group arrived at the reception mansion.

"What? He left yesterday and never came back?" Fabien asked in surprise after hearing the servant's answer.

"Lord Ryan, I'm really sorry. You didn't need to tell me about their actions. I really didn't know they left yesterday."

Ryan first looked at Fabian's expression, which did not seem fake, and he felt a little disappointed.

In this case, he would have to take Anna with him.

As for his family, Ryan wasn't too worried.

After all, the other party's target was clear: Anna, not him.

The other party also belonged to the Axon Auction House. Although they were the power of the head office, they would not attack the family of this shareholder for no reason.

Because if they attacked, it would only anger him, and Duke Drum behind Sam's group would not be able to protect them.

Therefore, unless Sam's group is stupid, they will not do that.

"Mr. Fabien, please inform me immediately once Mr. Sam returns. Thank you."

"Of course, of course."

After Ryan left, he did not go to the new mansion, but went to the Sword Bearer branch.

Before leaving, he had to do the second thing, go to the exchange hall, and exchange the ninth and last extraordinary combat skill that needed to be mastered - 'Rockdilo's Guardian Cane'.

An extremely rare and extraordinary fighting skill involving a cane.

The inventor of this extraordinary fighting skill, Rockdilo, is actually a high-level wizard, but he also practices the path of knighthood. Since he is not a metal wizard, the weapon he usually carries with him is a cane of about 1.5 meters in length.

Therefore, he gradually explored and perfected this set of extraordinary fighting skills using a cane as a weapon.

To perform this fighting skill, one condition is required, that is, to have a sufficiently sturdy walking stick.

Rockdilo's weapon is the famous iron cane.

Except for the top of the cane, which is not covered with iron sheet due to the need to communicate with the mysterious energy, most of the cane body is covered with thick metal. It can be used to block and parry some close-range attacks. It is very convenient and easy to use.

This was also what Ryan learned from a conversation with Neolo by chance when he had been thinking and looking for his final secret for the past few days. There was actually such an extraordinary fighting skill as a cane.

Although it seems a bit useless to him.

But Ryan felt that he was also a wizard, and if he held a cane in his hand, it would have a very good effect of confusing the enemy.

Half an hour later, Ryan returned to the mansion with a satisfied look on his face.

After asking Vieri to inform everyone that they would go to Munster to carry out the mission in the afternoon, Ryan found Anna.

"Anna, you may need to prepare and come with me to Meister to carry out the mission. After all, if you stay here, the other party may come to your door." Ryan said.

"Ah? That's great!" Anna clenched her fists and waved them excitedly, and continued to ask, "When do we leave?"

Seeing Anna's excited expression, Ryan was stunned and swallowed back what he was about to say.

Originally, he thought it would take a lot of effort to convince Anna.

"We'll leave in the afternoon, and there will most likely be a fight, so you need to prepare a little."

"Yes, okay." Anna nodded heavily.

at dusk.

The airship landing point in the fishing port town of Meister.

After Ryan and his group got off the airship, they hurried all the way from the fishing port town to the cave where they had encountered the ancient blood-cursed naga.

In addition to an elite squad belonging to the army, there is also a regular member of the Rock Squad stationed here at this time.

Because of his weakened strength, he was arranged here by Captain Batista to serve as a liaison and be responsible for vigilance.

When he saw Ryan and his group coming, he immediately stepped forward and said anxiously, "Lord Ryan, you are finally here!"

Ryan took a quick look at the other person and saw that he looked exhausted. Obviously, during the 24 hours when the Rock Team lost contact, he had not slept for a moment and his mind had been in a highly tense state.

"Don't worry, tell us what you know, so that we can better rescue the Rock Team." Angus had performed many missions in the military and was very experienced. He stepped forward, patted the other man on the shoulder and comforted him.

"Well, thank you!" The other party looked at Angus gratefully, then turned to Ryan and said:

"About thirty hours ago, Captain Batistan, Remire and two other team members entered the cave. According to the agreement, there will be a summons every two hours, but until now, there has been no summons or news."

"So, something must have happened to them!" the other party introduced quickly.

Has it been so long since we lost contact?
Ryan thought for a moment and said, "You guys stay here. I'll go in and take a look."

"Captain, let me accompany you." Neolo took the initiative to say.

Ryan was stunned when he heard this.

He didn't expect that Neoro, the heir of the Marquis, would be the first to jump out and say that he wanted to go down with him.

"Aren't you afraid?" Ryan asked with a hint of curiosity.

Neoro smiled calmly and said, "It is precisely because I am afraid that I have to go."

"Yes, Captain, we know we are far inferior to you in strength, but we can't always live under your wings." "When we were in the military, we often suffered casualties when we went out on missions." Angus and Vieri said.

“Captain, although I know you are worried about the danger inside, we are a small team. Moreover, we can only grow through hardships.” Evelyn also echoed.

“Moreover, I believe in the captain. As long as the enemy is not a legendary strongman, other enemies will not be a match for the captain.” Evelyn chuckled.

"Ryan, I want to go with you too." Hearing Ryan's teammates saying this, Anna also showed eagerness on her face.

"Okay, let's go down together." Ryan smiled and nodded.

Inside the forbidden door.

Inside was a deep and empty cave, with skeletons of various large marine creatures piled up along the way. Some were more than ten meters high and forty or fifty meters long.

There are skeletons similar to those of giant whales, and there are also slightly smaller ones, such as the skeletons of deep-sea plesiosaurs. Of course, there are also smaller ones, such as the remains of ferocious beasts several meters long, such as horned turtles.

At the deepest part of the cave, there were seven or eight broken purple eggshells. Most of the eggshells had disappeared, and there was nothing inside.

These were once the eggs of the Demon Tail Three-Headed Sea Dragon.

Under the huge skeleton on the side, there is a complex formation carved, flashing a flickering light of light green.

If you look closely, you can see clearly that there is an egg on the inside bottom of the skeleton. Most of it is buried under the ground, with only a small part exposed.

Moreover, even this small section is obscured by the skeleton.

Next to the huge skeleton, two people were talking about something.

The taller one among them was a male Blood Curse Naga who was over three meters tall and extremely tall and strong. He was wearing a two-meter-long pointed-tail conch on his left hand.

He was respectfully speaking to the six-armed female Naga beside him:

"Your Excellency the High Priest, your plan is really effective. By using the sirens' singing, we have captured the second batch of elite human combat teams."

"Each of these people is a great knight, and one of them is the top great knight who escaped last time."

"In addition, there is another official wizard. Using their blood and flesh essence to awaken the eggs of the Demon Tail Sea Dragon should have the best effect." Tide Piercer Rulgatz said with a smile.

However, he lost his left eye, and looked even uglier when he smiled.

"Rulgatz, thank you for your hard work! Although we are still short of some sacrifices, we should be able to get them all soon." The high priest smiled, nodded and said.

"But this time, you need to be careful. Humans are not stupid. With elite teams disappearing one after another, they will definitely find something wrong."

“So, even if the enemy coming this time is not of the same level as the Dragon Knight, the one coming this time is definitely a more difficult enemy.”

"Don't worry, high priest, as long as the opponent is not a dragon knight, I think with your help, we will win." Rulgatz's ugly dragon face smiled again.

"Yes!" The high priest nodded with satisfaction.

At the same time, she looked at the broken sea dragon eggs not far away and couldn't help showing regret.

Due to being sealed for a long time, in order to maintain the activity of the eggs, these eggs were put into a sleeping state by the three-headed sea dragon, and fell into sleep with it.

Until the forbidden door was opened, the dragon knight Menia suddenly appeared, and all the eggs were completely destroyed by the shock wave in that battle.

But when a Blood Curse Naga scout returned by chance, he found an intact sea dragon egg hidden in a hidden place inside the white bones nearby.

She was naturally overjoyed when she received the news!
She did not inform the Poseidon Cult about this news.

Because for her, once she is able to contract a magic-tailed three-headed sea dragon cub, her strength will be able to overcome that chasm and reach an extremely high level.

However, there are many problems that need to be solved.

This sea dragon egg has almost merged with the huge bone remains due to its long-term contact with the huge skeleton.

This is why the sea dragon egg was not discovered, but it also caused a problem.

That is the sea dragon egg, which is almost impossible to move. If she tries to move it, it may cause damage to the sea dragon egg at any time, making her plan fail.

Just when she was racking her brains over how to solve this problem, good news came from the Poseidon Cult.

It is said that the human dragon knight has left the area, and they have received reliable information that the dragon knight will not return in a short time.

In addition, the Cult of Poseidon also hopes that the Blood-Cursed Naga Clan can secretly go to the human coast again and set up a stronghold to facilitate their subsequent counterattack.

The arrival of these two pieces of news one after another was simply a godsend.

However, when they arrived at the forbidden gate, they encountered a second problem.
-
at the same time.

Not long after Ryan and his group went deep into the cave, they saw traces of the battle that he had left last time.

There are still a lot of scattered rubble on both sides of the passage, but the passage has obviously been cleaned and reinforced twice, otherwise it would be completely impassable.

Because Ryan remembered very clearly that at that time, he basically collapsed most of the passage, which blocked the pursuit of "Tide Piercer" Rulgatz.

"This way." Ryan walked in front, with the greyhound war dog 'Cookie' beside him.

"Captain, you seem to be very familiar with this place." Neolo couldn't help but feel curious.

"Well, I came here last time and fought a fierce battle with the ancient blood-cursed naga." Ryan talked about the situation as he walked.

Soon, everyone arrived at the underground hall where Ryan killed the leader of the Blood Curse Naga last time.

The hall still maintained the style that Ryan had seen before. The walls were made up of pale blue strips of stone, and in the center of the hall, there were two rows of Doric-style columns.

At this time, a strange singing voice slowly sounded from all around.

Since there are three channels here, the sound waves will be reflected in various ways after being transmitted here, so it sounds like surround sound and it is difficult to determine the original position of the sound.

"Why is there someone singing here?" Anna asked in surprise.

Everyone looked up and around, looking for the source of the sound.

"There's something strange, everyone be careful." Ryan said in a deep voice.

Ryan felt something was wrong, and the singing made him feel a little uncomfortable.

At this time, the sound became louder and louder.

Soon, Ryan suddenly found that his vision blurred, and then he could no longer see the figures of his teammates and Anna.

Ok?
Illusion?

Hallucinations caused by sound waves?
Immediately, Ryan thought of a solution.

He quickly closed his eyes and relied on his super perception to explore his surroundings.

Only then did he realize that Anna's familiar breath was not far from him, but was moving quickly in the opposite direction of him.

In an instant, Ryan understood the enemy's plan.

The other party intended to use this hallucinogenic singing to break up his entire team.

Once you succeed and solve the problem for everyone, it will definitely be easy and enjoyable.

No wonder the previous gold-level team 'Rock Team' fell into the trap.

Regardless of how strong the enemy is, this tactic alone would easily allow them to be defeated one by one.

Without caring about anyone else, Ryan quickly rushed towards the direction of Anna's breath.

Just as his big hand was about to touch Anna, Anna let out a horrified scream, then immediately transformed into a giant antler deer and charged towards Ryan.

This startled Ryan, but he quickly understood what was going on.

This song is very extraordinary, it can even make people misjudge friend or foe!

After Ryan pressed down Anna's huge antlers with his big hands, he immediately shouted:

"Anna, it's me!"

But the giant elk under Ryan's command was still struggling violently.

Because in Anna's perception, at this moment, she was grabbed by the antlers of a huge demon, and laughed at her, "Come on, little cutie, come into my arms, little cutie."

This made Anna panic and she struggled with all her might.

Seeing Anna like this, Ryan couldn't help but shook his head.

It seems that this is the only way!
"Roar!"

Ryan's neck suddenly bulged and his mouth opened wide. The next second, a huge white sound wave shock wave was released from his mouth.

Suddenly, circular air waves hit the surroundings.

Anna only felt a sharp pain as if her eardrum was torn, and then her eyes suddenly blurred, and the person who appeared in front of her was actually Ryan.

This made Anna feel a little confused.

"you you."

She didn't know whether it was true now or just now.

Ryan smiled, and quickly thought of something, saying, "That day, we were in the beech forest of the mansion, and I held you in my arms."

"what!"

Anna immediately performed Transfiguration and restored her human form. Her pretty face suddenly turned red. She covered her face with her hands and said, "Stop talking. I know you are the real Ryan!"

Ryan nodded and said, "This sound wave is strange. It seems to have a strong illusion effect."

He looked around and found that the other four people had already quickly left in several different directions. Each of them was waving their hands and feet as if they had met a ghost.

For example, Neoro cast several scrolls in succession and launched a fierce witchcraft attack towards a wall in the hall.

Ryan's voice interrupted the strange singing for a while, and now the singing began to appear faintly again.

"Hey, what's that sound?" Not far away, the 'Tide Piercer' Rulgatz, who was about to launch an attack, suddenly stiffened with his huge body.

Such a familiar voice
Soon, he realized that it was the owner of this voice who blinded one of his eyes!
"It's that guy! Human, how dare you come back!"

"This time, I will never let you slip away again!" A low voice filled with anger came from Rulgatz's throat.

He just swung his huge snake tail, increased his speed, and sped towards the direction where Ryan was.
