Ryan's Sword

Chapter 44 No.40 Encounter in Four Acts
In the early morning, the sky just turned pale.

Victor, who is used to getting up early, got up early to wash up, and once again sorted out yesterday's income and expenditure accounts in the room, and then came to the hotel lobby, preparing to settle his own breakfast.

"what?"

When he went downstairs, Victor saw a familiar figure in the hall. He couldn't help speeding up his pace in surprise, and said aloud, "Mr. Ian, you're back!"

Hearing the shout from upstairs, Ian, who was holding a bowl of sweet oatmeal porridge, raised his head, waved to the short and fat young man who was walking towards him quickly, and said with a smile: "Oh, morning Ah, Mister Victor."

"It's great to see you again!" Victor came to Ian's side and said with a smile, "Yesterday you disappeared early in the morning, and we all thought you left without saying goodbye!"

"Uh... Actually, I was supposed to come back last night, but I was interrupted by a little accident." As he spoke, Ian blinked his eyes, "So, you guys have already refunded my room, right? ?”

"No, no! How could that be!" Victor sat down on the seat opposite Ian, and said with a smile, "Every time we arrive at a hotel, we will pay a sufficient deposit in advance, and the settlement will not be made until we leave. Therefore, please Don't worry, Mr. Ian, your room is always there."

"Okay, okay, that's good!"

Ian nodded, and didn't bother to greet Victor, but buried his head and continued to finish his big bowl of sweet porridge.

"Mr. Ian, you are..."

Only then did Victor realize that there were more than a dozen empty dinner plates and porridge bowls piled up on Ian's table. Judging from the size of the dinner plates and the remaining oil and water soup on them, the food they originally contained was almost larger than that of a middle-class family. Dinner is even better.

While talking, Ian had already snorted and finished the last mouthful of sweet porridge. He put down the porridge bowl, burped comfortably, and said with a smile: "I consumed a lot yesterday, so my appetite is better than usual. I'm sorry. , made you laugh!"

"it's okay no problem……"

Victor thought to himself that your appetite is better, but he shook his head hastily.He looked at Ian curiously, and asked, "Mr. Ian, what did you do when you didn't come home all night yesterday?" In his opinion, when Ian first arrived in Lewisburg, he disappeared all day and all night Most of the figures are out to have a good time.After all, this is one of the favorite things for adventurers every time they arrive in a new city.

"This is..."

Ian stretched out his hand and stroked his chin, which had not yet seen the beard, thought for a while, and sighed: "The undead know what I have gone through!"

"……what?"

Victor thought he could find out about the affairs of some adventurers, but Ian's answer made him feel perplexed.

"Oh, it's hard to say." Ian wiped his mouth with his sleeve and said, "Sorry, Mr. Victor, I'm really tired now. I need to take a hot bath and then have a good sleep. As for yesterday What happened...let's talk about it later!" He stood up and yawned tiredly.When he passed Victor, he raised his hand and patted Victor on the shoulder with a haggard face, then went upstairs to the guest room on the second floor.

Victor blinked ignorantly, feeling as if he understood something.

"Ah! It's you!"

"Ok?"

Just as Victor was thinking about Ian's experience yesterday, there was a sudden exclamation on the stairs.He remembered that Ian had just gone upstairs, and he couldn't help turning his head to look at the stairs together with the other people who were dining in the hall.

Ian looked at the four adventurers approaching with doubts, trying to find out their appearance and names from his memory.He had just returned to the hotel after the battle at the bottom of the lake, and he was exhausted physically and mentally.In other words, originally Ian didn't have much energy to observe who was about to pass by, but the exclamation of the other party successfully caught his attention.

At this moment, the skinny man with shawl hair was staring at Ian warily.Perhaps because of his influence, the three younger adventurers behind him also stared nervously at Ian, and at the same time reached out to touch the hilts at their waists, as if Ian standing on the stairs immediately It will be the same as killing them.

"Oh, I remembered, it's you guys!"

The other party's extraordinary vigilance finally brought back the memory in Ian's mind. Ian recalled the identities of these four people. When he returned to the camp, it was these guys who came out to question his identity and challenged him. This triggered a small conflict.

"So, these guys did all the shitty things yesterday?"

Ian's heart is clear.

After confirming the identity of the other party, Ian did not draw his sword angrily as they imagined.On the contrary, he lifted his steps and continued to walk upwards, while pulling the corners of his mouth, and said with a fake smile: "It's really destined! I didn't expect you to still live in this hotel."

While speaking, Ian had already come in front of the four of them, and the skinny man in the lead took a step back involuntarily, gritted his teeth and shouted, "You, what do you want!"

"What do I think?" Ian's smile remained unchanged, "Thank you for taking care of me, of course I want to thank you very much!"

"……you!"

"Ah, ah, take it easy, don't you guys want to do it here?" Seeing the increasingly nervous performance of the four people in front of him, Ian's smile faded. Count slowly, now..."

"Give it to me—get out!!"

In the corridor on the second floor, it was like a thunderbolt from the clear sky. Ian's low shout mixed with battle roars rushed the four people who were caught off guard in front of them, staggering to the ground one after another.

At this moment, even though he focused the sound waves of the battle roar on the four targets in front of him as much as possible, many vigilant adventurers and caravan members in the surrounding rooms rushed out upon hearing the sound.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, my old friend met, I was a little emotional for a while! I'm sorry to disturb everyone's rest..."

Ian greeted him all the way, the caravan members who recognized him greeted him one after another, and more people turned their inquiring eyes to the four people who fell down in the corridor. As long as they are not blind, they can basically see Ian's rhetoric is complete nonsense.

The first to rush out of the room were the three guard captains of the Golden Oak Leaf Firm. Among them, Chris, who was most familiar with Ian, glanced at the four adventurers who were trying to get up in the corridor, and said softly: "Ian , So you're back, the few of them..."

Ian greeted the three guard captains one by one, and then said: "It's just a personal grievance, I'm sorry to disturb your rest!"

The three of them expressed that they didn't care. Ian exchanged a few words without saying anything, and walked directly to his room.

The three guard captains glanced at each other, knowing that Ian didn't intend to ask them to help, so they turned back to their respective rooms.

"...Damn!"

Sith managed to recover from the dizziness. He stared at Ian's back and walked towards the distant room undefended. In the end, he didn't even have the courage to draw his sword to stab him.

"Boss, let's..."

"go!"

Faced with the eyes of many onlookers, Sith was not in the mood to reprimand his subordinates, and then he let out a low growl, and led the three of them to leave the hotel quickly with their heads bowed.

"Mr. Ian, what happened yesterday..."

Victor witnessed the conflict that erupted before, and now he saw the four leave with hatred, and he couldn't help worrying about Ian.

After the farce in the early morning, the hotel where the Golden Oak Leaf Firm stayed gradually became lively.

In the azure world, conflicts and even conflicts between adventurers are very common. What's more, it is not impossible for the brawl to escalate to bloodshed or even death.

From the perspective of the people who eat melons, people don't comment too much on the conflict that broke out between Ian and the Sith team. What they like to talk about is what kind of situation has evolved between the two sides.Some people with good intentions opened their mouths for the outcome of this conflict, looking for people to bet everywhere; of course, there is also another group of people headed by Victor who are worried and hope that the matter will end as soon as possible, so as not to cause more troubles and unnecessary losses. .

In this noisy atmosphere, the hotel welcomed a group of special guests.

A group of mysterious visitors wearing cloaks entered the hotel lobby. When the waiter tried to explain to them that the entire hotel had been booked, they went straight to the short and fat young man sitting on the side of the lobby.

"Excuse me……"

Seeing that the visitor came to him, Victor quickly got up and tried to ask the other person why he came.

The leader took off the hood on his head, revealing a young and capable female face, and asked, "You are Mr. Keir's deputy, right?"

"No, that's right!" Victor was surprised, and then realized, "Ah, I remembered, ma'am, you are..."

Victor once went to the City Lord's Mansion with Keir. Although he did not participate in the final interview process, he was impressed by the female knight who had been escorting the trading company.

"Your Majesty Teresa," the female knight interrupted Victor, and said, "I am here to invite Mr. Ian Grant by order of Lord Angelica."

"Mr. Ian?"

Victor was stunned for a moment, and he suddenly discovered that everything that happened since early morning today seemed to revolve around Ian.

"Mr. Ian, can't you really commit something?"

Victor couldn't help thinking.

"Sir," the female knight's voice recalled Victor, who was in a daze, "If it's convenient, please take us to see Mr. Ian Grant, and I will explain the situation to him."

"Oh, yes, no problem!" Victor stretched out his hand and said, "Come with me, ma'am, I'll take you to find him right away." The female knight and her party walked quickly to the room where Ian was on the second floor.
