Ryan's Sword

Chapter 26 No.20 Six Promises
In the center of the camp, Victor leaned against a blazing bonfire, shivering, using the heat from the flames to keep himself warm.Although there was no blood or damage on his luxurious silk robe, his pale face and the uncontrollable sweat on his forehead showed that this short and fat young man was really scared this time. It's not easy.

It is not the first time for Victor to trade with the great merchant Keir, but most of their business trips were within the northern border of Ruien before. Like this time, they went all the way from the imperial capital to Louisburg in the south of Ruien. This is the first time in my experience.Although the short and fat young man has traveled all over the world for a long time and can be regarded as a qualified business assistant, it is the first time for him to face a real team full of blood and flesh at zero distance—even if he is hiding. In the heavily protected carriage.

In fact, facing the broken corpses of the same kind, even human beings, the primates of all things, cannot suppress the fear that grows in their hearts.This is the reverence that life should have for death, and the horror in it is further magnified because of the complex emotions and wisdom of human beings.

It can be said that Victor did not spit it out on the spot, which was already a manifestation of his will.Moreover, the rest of his life is not a bad thing for him. Facing battle and death can promote the cultivation of individual willpower that cannot be underestimated. After this battle, the fat young man is very likely to grow into a big business like Keyer in the future.

"Mr. Victor," Chris saw Victor shivering by the campfire, he couldn't help but walked over and patted him on the shoulder, "Relax, it's over."

"Ah...thank you, Lord Chris..."

Feeling a warm current like water coming from the big hand on the shoulder, it spread all over his body in an instant.Victor knew that this wonderful experience was because the captain of the guard was using his fighting spirit to dispel the chill rooted in his heart caused by fear, so he couldn't help but nodded gratefully to him, and at the same time expressed his thanks.

Battle Qi is a strange energy born in the human body, and its fundamental nature contains a lot of vitality, which is why the stronger the fighter, the longer the lifespan—for the fighter, even if he has been attacked enough to kill him , as long as one can break through the limit and reach a higher level of life, the body will also tend to be perfect.This is also the most precious wealth left by the ancestors who have explored the fighting spirit for the younger generations, an evolutionary path suitable for most human beings.

——Since the golden people disappeared and the silver race disappeared in the world, the weakest human beings were able to establish a brilliant civilization and create the era of black iron, thanks to the invention of fighting spirit.

"Yi, Mr. Ian! You're here too..." Victor, who was feeling much better, couldn't help saying happily when he saw Ian following Victor.As far as he was concerned, he didn't want this powerful young man to die in this terrible battle, even if the other party would not join the firm.

Probably because of the concern between friends, although Victor didn't know whether the other party regarded him as a friend.

Sensing Victor's kindness, Ian nodded, still maintaining a calm appearance.

"...You guys are this?"

Victor, who is good at observing words and expressions, noticed the subtle performance between the two, and couldn't help but wonder.

"Ah, by the way, I almost forgot about the business!" Chris laughed, and said, "Ian has something important to report to Mr. Keyle, so I brought him here, and I'm going to trouble you Let me know!"

"Oh, I see, I'll go now!"

Victor quickly got up, and climbed into Keyer's carriage nimbly. After a while, he jumped out of the carriage with agility that was completely different from his figure, bowed to Ian, and said: "Mr. Ian , Master Keyer asked you to enter the carriage and talk."

"Thank you."

Ian thanked him, jumped easily, and got on the carriage that was half the height of a person.

The carriage that Keir was riding in was half as wide as an ordinary cart, and the outer wall of the carriage was made of mixed metal mixed with magic materials—this kind of mixed metal material required a complicated alchemy process to manufacture, and generally Speaking of it, it will be used in the creation of precious magic weapons, and its value can be seen.

Under close observation, the sequence of runes engraved on the body of the carriage is faintly visible, and they are interconnected to form a complicated magic array. This kind of overall magic array engraved on multiple planes cannot be arranged casually. Yes, Ian can imagine that the archmage who arranged the magic circle for the carriage burned at least [-]% of his brain cells.

Just by taking a rough look before getting into the car, Ian can know that the cost of this carriage is probably not less than [-] gold due to the consumption of these external materials and the magic circle.

When the door was pushed open, the first thing that came into view was a dazzling golden light. Ian squinted his eyes to get used to the light inside the carriage.

Although he was prepared in his heart, when Ian saw the magnificent layout inside the carriage, he still couldn't help but praise him.

"Semi-constant space magic that has expanded at least twice, night pearls produced in the orc wasteland, ice jade stones from the Aujin Mountains, colorful corals from the Storm Sea... Forgive me for my poor eyesight, I can't tell which master is the work of this oil painting, but This hollowed-out golden picture frame is quite similar to the imitation of elf craftsmanship."

In the carriage, Keyer, who was lying on the large and comfortable sofa bed drinking cocktails, heard Ian's praise, his eyes lit up, he sat up, and said with a smile: "Mr. Ian has such good eyesight! Unexpectedly, Mr. At such a young age, not only is she powerful, but she also has such excellent eyesight! This picture of a lady is just a clumsy one, sir, it's really absurd, ah ha ha ha ha..."

Ian rolled his eyes, he casually said "Master", he didn't expect this shameless big fat man to take his seat like this!However, seeing the attitude of the other party, he was not polite, closed the car door casually, walked to the center of the room in the carriage which was actually several times larger than the appearance, and sat down in front of the crystal coffee table opposite Keyle.

In a good mood, Keier quickly took out a few bottles of fine wine from the wine cabinet beside him. In an instant, with his fat hands flying up and down, he skillfully used the metal shaker to mix a glass of brightly colored wine. The cocktail that looked like a burning flame was poured into the goblet, and then a slice of iced lemon was inserted, before pushing the glass to Ian.

"Flame Lover, Mr. Ian, please use it slowly." The fat man said with a smile on his face.

"I didn't expect that Mr. Keyer is really versatile!" Ian took a sip from the wine glass and immediately raised his eyebrows in admiration.

The cocktail made by Keir is not only good in color, but also the unique taste of spicy with sweetness in the mouth made Ian give his thumbs up.Such exquisite skills are justified by the signature bartenders in nightclubs in the imperial capital, but I am afraid that no one would have thought that a chubby businessman could have such skills.

"Thanks for the compliment, it's just a little personal hobby." Keir said modestly with a proud face.

Regarding the thickness of this big fat man's face, Ian has a solid foundation in his heart.He put down his wine glass and said seriously: "Master Keyer, let's talk business."

"Mr. Ian, if you have anything to say, just say it, and I have already listened to it."

Ignoring the flattering gesture of the other party, Ian directly opened the black robe package, and placed it on the exquisite crystal coffee table together with the severed hand wrapped in it.

"hiss……"

Suddenly seeing such a bloody object that was incompatible with the surrounding environment, even with Keyer's concentration, his expression changed slightly.When he clearly saw the obvious krait mark on the severed hand, Keyer's fat face finally darkened, and he said, "Unexpectedly, they really came after them!"

"According to Lord Keyer's words, can I understand that you already knew the existence of this dangerous enemy?"

"Forehead……"

"Concealing information is a very serious matter in the employment regulations, Mr. Keyle." Ian calmly narrated: "Especially when it involves evil organizations that the empire has strictly cracked down on, I have the right to apply to the guild and the empire for this discovery." investigation."

"Please calm down, Mr. Ian!" Keyle wiped off his sweat and said, "I did know some information in advance, but I didn't deliberately conceal it. I have a last resort..."

"I'm not interested in knowing your difficulties, Master Keyer. I just want to remind you that your difficulties have killed many unsuspecting adventurers," Ian interrupted his explanation, and at the same time glanced at the severed hand, adding Said; "If I hadn't mastered a little life-saving means, I guess I should be recorded on the death list now."

"..."

As the saying goes, knowing the elegant meaning by hearing the strings, although Keer, who has been in the mall for many years, is sweating a lot after this conversation, he has concluded that the young man in front of him is not that kind of stunned young man, otherwise, he just needs to keep this kind of It is enough to hand over the obvious evidence to the authorities, so why do you need to come here to find yourself!
"Mr. Ian, I'm sorry for this employment. After arriving in Lewisburg, I will submit an application to the adventurer to change the level of this mission and compensate everyone for double the reward for the mission." Kyle said while wiping his sweat : "At the same time, on behalf of the Golden Oak Leaf Firm, I would like to express my gratitude to you for helping us defeat the enemy! For this reason..." Keier lowered his head, as if thinking and thinking, before raising his head for a long time, and promised Said: "For this reason, you can make a reasonable request to the Chamber of Commerce! I promise, as long as it is within the capabilities of the Chamber of Commerce and does not violate the laws of the empire, we will do our best to do it for you!"
