Ryan's Sword

Chapter 55
According to what the tall and thin Renekton said, he and his three temporary teammates should also be meeting for the first time.However, judging from the unusually gloomy expression on his face when he walked straight over, I am afraid that there is still a lot of discrepancy between the facts and what he said.

Renekton's so-called teammates are three other adventurers who are also in the white rank.One of the burly men with brown hair, seeing Renekton approaching with a sullen face, raised the corners of his mouth gloatingly, sneered, and asked, "What's the matter? It seems that 'Fat Sheep' didn't take the bait? "On his back was a large oval shield made of oak and thin iron sheets, and he seemed to be a defensive shield warrior.And judging from his attitude towards the tall and thin Renekton, the two should have known each other for a long time, and there is still a lot of grudges.

"Lone wolf, if you dare to laugh any more, I'll break your neck!"

Sure enough, upon hearing the sneer from the burly warrior, the tall and thin Renekton showed a ferocious look on his face, and threatened viciously in a gloomy voice.

When he was trying to win over Ian earlier, Renekton's smile looked extremely unnatural, as if it had been forced out.It seems that this fierce face should be the expression he is most used to on weekdays.

"Humph!"

The burly warrior known as the Lone Wolf snorted coldly, instead he raised his head and stared at Renekton, and said, "I just said, you must be damned if this crap method of yours works!" It seemed, He was not afraid of Renekton's threats, but immediately mocked: "With your bad image, you still want to trick that little fat sheep into joining our team, it's just a dream! Why, now you have failed, Just thinking of me here to vent my anger? Do you think I will be afraid of you!"

The Lone Wolf's accent carried a kind of fierceness unique to the big man in the northern border of the Ryan Empire. With his strong and rough body, even if he faced Renekton, who was superior in height, he would not lose the wind in the slightest.

"Say a few words less!"

Seeing that the scolding battle between the two was about to escalate to the level of a fight, another young man with short black hair in the team stepped forward to block between the two.He was dressed in standard warrior attire, with a long sword hilt wrapped in black cloth exposed under the wide and thick leather cloak.From the looks of it, he should be the central figure of this team, even Renekton with a ferocious face and the rebellious Lone Wolf are willing to sell him a little bit of face.

Seeing that the atmosphere had calmed down a little, the black-haired young man said in a deep voice: "Now that the fat sheep has left, why do you still have the heart to start a fight? If we let him run away, we will lose a big piece of fat this time." !"

His words silenced the other three members of the team. The next moment, Renekton, who was already in a bad mood, poked his neck and asked him, "Gust, is the equipment on that kid really as valuable as you said?"

The black-haired youth Gust glanced at him, and asked, "Which time did I miss my eyes?"

Judging from his tone, it seemed that he had had similar experiences many times before focusing on Ian.

If Ian was here, he would definitely be able to react. This team is the kind of "hunting team" that specializes in black hands on adventurers.To put it bluntly, these people are no different from normal adventurers on weekdays, but if they find a suitable target, then they are more willing to kill adventurers and rob them of their equipment and property - compared to the often thankless wild adventures, this kind of The benefits brought about by the act of killing and extorting goods may be even higher.

Although Renekton was robbed of a sentence by the black-haired youth, he didn't get angry like he did to the lone wolf, on the contrary, he seemed quite convinced by Gust, and then asked: "Then tell me, what should we do now? "

"Black Fox, follow him sneakily. When the time is right, we will use signals to communicate with each other."

Gust pondered for a moment, and first ordered to the slender young man beside him.

"Yes, boss!" The young man named Heihu immediately responded knowingly.

This young man was wearing tight gray leather armor, and his mouth and nose were covered by a dark blue face scarf, revealing only a pair of clever little eyes.He was playing with a long, thin and sharp short knife in one hand, and a small folding crossbow tied to his other hand—these two weapons were also one of the most common configurations for thieves.He nodded slightly to Gust, and the next moment he stepped on erratic steps and squeezed into the crowd, chasing after Ian who had just left the gate of the Adventurer's Guild not far away.

Seeing that the black fox had bitten the target, the black-haired young man turned his gaze, and said to the remaining Lone Wolf and Renekton, "As usual, the three of us are going out of the city now. According to the map provided by the guild, in that Find a place near the ruins of the ancient temple to ambush first. When the time comes, signal the black fox to lead him into our ambush circle, and then..." He chuckled and raised his hand, making a gesture of wiping his neck.

"Ambush? I like it!"

"Okay, do as you say!"

Renekton and Lone Wolf looked at each other, although they could see a trace of disdain in each other's eyes, but surprisingly they didn't pinch each other again.Obviously, in the face of interests, the positions of the two are still consistent with the outside world.

Gust, a black-haired young man, had been an apprentice with an old appraiser for a period of time in his early years, but the old appraiser soon discovered that the original intention of this talented young man to learn appraisal skills was not pure, so he soon sent It's swept away.However, even so, Gust has developed a pair of good eyesight that far exceeds that of ordinary people.Immediately afterwards, he gathered three helpers, Renekton, Lone Wolf, and Black Fox, to specialize in the business of murder and robbery.Because of his careful thinking, never being greedy when joining, he always finds single or lone white-rank adventurers to attack, so after a year, the team he formed has made a lot of money.

When preparing to make a move this time, Gust and his party came to the Adventurer's Guild for a routine squatting, and then he saw Mr. Ian Grant in the crowd Zhihong, whose whole body was exuding the unique fluctuations of magic equipment.

Being so young and wearing such luxurious equipment, in the eyes of Gust, Ian, whose strength is only in the middle stage of the white rank, is simply a fat sheep bestowed by heaven!It was precisely because of this that he asked Renekton to step forward tentatively to win him over. If Ian was willing to join the team, then it would be great; even if he didn't succeed, he had prepared the experienced thief Black Fox as a backup.

No matter what, you must not let this big fat sheep slip away!
Ian didn't know that when he walked around the Adventurer's Guild, he attracted the covetousness of a hunting team.At this moment, all he could think about was what kind of reward Angelika had promised.

——With Angelica's identity and status, the rewards shouldn't be much different, right?

As a result, the black fox who was hanging Ian from a distance realized as if he had eaten shit that the goal set by the boss went all the way through twists and turns, and finally walked into the heavily guarded city lord's mansion!What made it even more difficult for him to accept was that the guard at the drawbridge of the old castle only checked his identity before putting the target in!

Nima, since when, places like the City Lord's Mansion can be entered by adventurers casually! ?
Seeing Ian walking without showing timidity and knowing the way, the black fox hiding in the dark frowned deeply——

Is the target chosen by the boss this time really a big fat sheep that can be easily obtained?

"Ah-"

Ian, who had just passed the suspension bridge and stepped into the castle, sneezed violently. He rubbed his nose and turned his head in doubt, sweeping behind him, wondering——

Whose girl is thinking about me! ?
"Ian, come here!"

A call not far away brought Ian back to his senses. When he looked up, he saw Teresa in casual clothes holding a window sill and waving to him with a smile on the old castle transformed into an office hall.

"Sister Teresa!"

Ian's eyes lit up, and he also waved to Teresa.Afterwards, he ran up the stairs on the side of the hall towards Teresa's room.

As soon as he went upstairs, Ian saw Teresa was already waiting for him in the corridor on the second floor. He quickly walked over and greeted: "Sister Teresa, it's great to see you! I just now I'm still thinking, where should I go to exchange for the reward that Angelica-sama said! Ouch..."

What responded to Ian was a crisp "snap".

"Don't worry, the rewards you deserve will be given to you!" Teresa glared at him angrily, and said, "Also, here, call me the clerk!" Looking at the painful forehead, Ian, who was humming on purpose with a look of bitterness and hatred, was pulled from the corridor into the room where she was.

Ian walked into the room and took a look, only to find that it was a luxurious single-person office.The tables, chairs and bookcases in the room are all made of bauhinia oak furniture full of ancient charm, not only that, but the delicately carved corners are also wrapped with dazzling gold inlays.Coupled with the magnificent wall decorations on the surrounding walls and the more colorful magic crystal chandeliers under the sunlight, Ian intuited that the combined value of these things is probably enough to buy in the urban areas of Louisburg except the Secret Magic District. A nice mansion!
"Wow! Teresa... No, my clerk!" Ian sat down on the leather sofa across from the desk, and exaggerated deliberately: "Your office is even more luxurious than Lady Angelica's living room. Is this really the case?"

"Stinky boy..." Teresa couldn't help laughing at his exaggerated appearance, "These are properties purchased by previous castle owners, and have nothing to do with me. I was also arranged because of work needs." Come to this office. So, even if you report it to Lady Angelica, she won't blame me!"

Ian curled his lips, and then asked: "Sister Teresa, what kind of position is the clerk you serve as? Logically speaking, shouldn't you belong to the city guard system? Ouch..." However, he Before he finished speaking, he was hit again by Teresa's little hand.
