Ryan's Sword

Chapter 3 Act [-] Robe Town

The fiery clouds in the sky engulfed the last rays of the holy day, burning most of the sky recklessly, and the orange-red sunset glow reflected the Rob Town, which was built next to the Yilan Forest, into a warm-toned country.

The townspeople returning home at dusk and the merchants and travelers who used to flow on the street seemed to be much less at once, and a strong smell of toasted bread and ham permeated quietly, making the tired people speed up their respective tasks unconsciously. Hurried pace, just looking forward to filling my hungry stomach before nightfall.

As the branch manager of the Golden Oak Leaf Firm, Keir was extremely tired of the day-long recruitment of guards.You know, a successful businessman at his age should have sat on a comfortable gold-encrusted lounge chair and enjoyed the meticulous service of a group of young girls, instead of leading the team of the firm to rush around, crossing mountains and rivers, almost across the Ryan Empire Small half of the map.

"If it wasn't for that one who wanted to deliver such a cargo, my old bones wouldn't have to go to this backcountry to suffer..." Standing up from the comfortable leather cushion, I moved my round body like a ball , Keir raised his voice and shouted to the surrounding caravan members: "Everyone has worked hard! Today's recruitment is over, it's time for us to enjoy the red stuffed veal steak and Welsh wine brought from the imperial capital Heck!"

Amidst a burst of echoes, the members of the caravan cheered and began to dismantle the temporary signboards and fences that had been erected to recruit guards. The temptation of food and fine wine obviously gave them great motivation.Everyone's thoughts at this moment are undoubtedly the same, that is to sit in the warm hotel lobby and enjoy a dinner that is no less than the banquet level of the imperial capital.

"Excuse me, do you still need guards?"

Heaving a sigh of relief, Keer, who was about to turn around, suddenly heard a slightly immature but mixed with serious inquiry. Under a slight astonishment, the big fat businessman turned around with a big belly, and then saw, A young man wearing a dark red cloak stood erectly in front of his counter.He looked a little dirty, especially the messy short black hair, which had obviously not been taken care of for a long time.

The first impression of the young man is that he is a professional adventurer, but judging from his appearance and appearance, he is really too young.

At this moment, he was quietly watching Keir with a pair of bright and divine eyes with a sense of inquiry.

"Son, have you come to the wrong place, I don't have a stage for the hero play game here. You see, we are all very tired, um... Maybe you can have a nice dinner with us, but please You go home and sleep quickly, don't worry your parents!"

Kyle joked in his characteristic thick voice.The busy subordinates around him couldn't help laughing out loud when they heard his teasing words.From their point of view, this young man dressed up like an adventurer is at most just a wild boy who was dazzled by the popular warrior novels on the market and sneaked out of the house.They have met no less than four or five children like him along the way, and every time this time, they can always reap a piece of joy that is not often found in the boring journey.

"I need a job, sir."

The boy's posture was still calm. He ignored the mocking laughter and mocking eyes from all directions, and said solemnly: "I have trekked in the forest for at least two weeks. I need a warm and comfortable bed, but now my pocket Not a single silver oak leaf in it."

Regardless of the material, the coins of the Ryan Empire are engraved with the bust of the founding emperor Norn I and the royal family's coat of arms "oak leaves surrounded by thorns" on the front and back, so Ryan's coins have silver oak leaves, gold oak leaves, etc. And so on.

"Ahem..." Keyer coughed twice, turned around and undisguisedly squeezed his squinted eyes at the subordinates who stopped working and watched, and then turned around under their knowing and laughing eyes, helplessly Shrugging his shoulders, he said to the boy: "Okay, my little warrior, I can give you a job, but you know, the guards I recruit are all strong and good guys! Uh... look Have you reached the stone pier over there?" He pointed to the half-person-high stone pier not far from him that was used to support the signboard of their firm, and smiled narrowly at the young man, "A qualified fighter It should be easy to leave a mark on such a stone pier, how about it? Warrior, let us see how strong you are?"

Together with the onlookers who gradually gathered, his subordinates burst into cheerful laughter again.

The young man pondered for a moment, just when Keyer thought he would blushed and ran away shyly, he said seriously again: "I can try as you wish. But I want to make sure, breaking this way No one in Shidun should ask me for compensation, right?"

"Oh ho ho ho ho... Don't worry, warrior, no one will claim compensation from you! Even if there is, our firm will compensate you for all possible losses! I swear in the name of the branch manager of the Golden Oak Leaf firm!"

The exaggerated laughter from Keir clutching his stomach pushed the joyful atmosphere to a climax, and everyone laughed along with him, as if they were watching a comedy—obviously, they had foreseen that this was still happening. The picture of the stubborn boy finally eating and escaping.

As if he got the answer he wanted, the young man raised his feet as if he was relieved, and walked towards the stone pier.The laughter of the crowd has not stopped, but there is no expression fluctuation on the young man's quiet face.

Just when everyone realized that he seemed to really want to do something, the young man who was walking abruptly raised his hand to his waist, and immediately drew his sword neatly, and raised his hand!The unique icy cold light of the steel blade flashed, and then disappeared without a trace as if it had never appeared before.

By the time the onlookers came to their senses, the young man was already like a battle-hardened veteran, meticulously putting the long sword back into the scabbard along the thumb of his left hand holding the scabbard.

At this moment, like a cock being strangled by the throat, everyone couldn't help suppressing their laughter until it disappeared.No one would doubt whether the sword light had appeared, because at this moment, accompanied by a soft "crack", the upper part of the stone pier that had been here for several years had already moved along the smooth surface. The broken part of the crack slid down, and with a "bang", it kicked up smoke and dust all over the place.

Cold field.

Seeing the stone pier fall to the ground, Keyer shivered involuntarily. The "bang" sound seemed to hit the bottom of his heart, and he woke up suddenly.A thought that would have been unbelievable to him a minute ago appeared in his mind, and he filled his fat face with a sincere smile as if an old friend was reunited almost instantly.

"Oh, my God! Victor, where are you? Hurry up and get our record book, I want to register this warrior myself!"

A short and fat boy with brown curly hair hurriedly pushed aside the crowd, and respectfully presented a hardcover black leather notebook to Keir.Keir didn't even look at him, took the notebook and took out a slender and delicate quill from his breast pocket, and asked the boy in front of him with an increasingly flattering smile: "My dear warrior, May I ask what your name is?"

The young man glanced thoughtfully at the notepad and quill in his hand, paused, and responded, "My name is Ian, Ian Grant."

————————————————————————————————————

The warm sunshine shone on the eyelids, and Lin En, who was sleeping, rolled over comfortably, wrapped tightly in the warm quilt, and was about to fall asleep again.I don't know what he was dreaming about, but this guy who was sleeping in a daze suddenly opened his eyes, his scattered eyes focused on the clothes and equipment placed on the bedside, he was stunned for a while, and then he let out a breath of relief, sit up.

"Almost forgot, this is Azure..."

After more than ten days of trekking out of the Yilan Forest, Lin En, who was sitting on the edge of the bed, recalled the previous experience, and felt in a daze——

"Ghost knows what I've been through!"

He finally made it to the end of this journey without supplies and companions.

Perhaps there is indeed the blessing of the goddess of luck in this world. Lin En, who had eaten half a month in the Yilan forest, finally had a change of luck the moment he walked out of the forest - a small town stood quietly in the forest At the end, his tired heart was filled with ecstasy of returning to the world, and he wished he could express his excitement by screaming up to the sky.

The steeple buildings in the Ryan style, the tidy roads paved with stone slabs, and the familiar scenes of Ryan's town made Lynn's heart settle down all of a sudden.Then, he saw the Golden Oak Leaf Firm that was setting up a stage to recruit, and with the sword in his hand, he found himself a job as a guard.

"Sure enough, those who are capable can find a meal wherever they go."

Sighing so, Lynn got out of bed to wash, put on a brand new shirt and leather armor - when signing the employment contract yesterday evening, Lynn asked for an advance payment of part of the salary.Based on his impressive sword, Keyle, the president of the Golden Oak Leaf Chamber of Commerce, that fat man who was as fat as a big leather ball readily agreed to this slightly excessive request.

Fortunately, Lin En is indeed not a liar who came here to defraud money.He quickly walked around this small town called Rob Town, and used the five gold coins that Keyle had advanced to him to purchase a brand new set of armor and equipment, as well as the necessary food, Medicines and other consumables.He even took the time to go to the branch of the Adventurer's Guild in Rob Town to update his adventurer information. After being besieged by wolves, his predecessor's identity certificate and mission log were lost somewhere in the forest. He had to reapply as soon as possible to make his employment contract with the Golden Oak Leaf Firm effective.

So far, a young adventurer named Ian Grant escaped from an unimaginable disaster, but no one knows that this young man's body has been replaced by a soul from another world.

"My name is Ian, Ian Grant."

"Yes, that's it."

After packing up his things, before leaving the door, Lynn took a photo in front of the huge bronze mirror in the guest room, and said while looking at the figure in the mirror.

As he said, from this moment on, he was Ian Grant.
