The wizard starts by trimming the donkey's hooves

Chapter 526 Death of an Old Friend
"Who?"

The four of them looked around, shocked!
The next second, Marquis Orenz and the other two crystallized wizards were looking horrified.

Suddenly, a strange hand appeared from behind the armored knight, where there was no one!

The armored knight's hair stood on end and alarm bells rang in his heart.

He seemed to feel the cold gaze of some top predator on the back of his neck, and the horrified looks of the three people around him looking behind him made him more certain of this.

However, just as he was trying hard to move his body to dodge, a large hand like an iron clamp suddenly grabbed his neck from behind, and the plate armor on his neck seemed like brittle cardboard and was instantly twisted and deformed.

"Crench!"

Accompanied by the sound of the plate armor neck guard twisting and deforming.

He suddenly felt a sharp pain in his neck, and then he felt his entire field of vision tilted ninety degrees. Afterwards, his vision gradually blurred and he fell into complete darkness.

"Don't move. Whoever moves will die." Ryan said as he seemed to step out from another space.

Marquis Orenz and the other two crystallized wizards wanted to flee in all directions, but when they heard what Ryan said, they froze in place.

After all, the scene where Ryan just appeared and instantly killed a titled knight was too horrifying!
Ryan threw the knight with a broken neck to the ground.

At this time, a crystallized wizard who had just said that he wanted to collect the barbarian girl, seemed to be hoping for a lucky break. Three khaki shields suddenly appeared on his body, rotating continuously. He rushed towards the window like an arrow, while taking something out of his arms.

But the next moment, his eyes widened!
Because Ryan, who was supposed to be behind him, had appeared in front of the window for some reason, so he ran directly towards Ryan.

This scene made his heart feel like it was sinking into an ice cellar!

Just when he was about to take out the scroll with a ruthless look on his face and fight to the death.

"Pfft!"

The tip of an index finger emitting a dark silver light instantly pierced through the khaki shield on his body, then continued to pierce and tap the crystallized wizard's forehead.

The next moment, all the opponent's movements were frozen!
The other two ochre-colored shields that were originally surrounding his body, after losing their energy support, instantly turned into two pools of fine sand and fell to the ground. His body fell straight backwards and hit the ground heavily with a bang.

And still twitching slightly from time to time
When Marquis Orenz and another crystallized wizard saw this scene, cold sweat immediately broke out on their foreheads.

A crystallized wizard was killed without even being able to block a single attack with his third-level innate protective magic?
How is this played?
What exactly is Ryan's ability to almost teleport?
How to escape?
For a moment, all kinds of distracting thoughts popped up in the minds of the two!
Although the two of them also have a few hidden magical weapons and scrolls, these are meaningless when the strength gap is too great. Their partner just gave the best example!

"Lord Ryan, I think there is a misunderstanding between us. Besides, this is not my intention. It is Duke Drum who is responsible for this matter."

Marquis Orenz hurriedly explained, but was interrupted by Ryan waving his hand.

"Marquis Orenz, I arrived in the imperial capital this morning. Why do you think the Durham family didn't tell you that I was back?" Ryan didn't rush to take action. Instead, he looked at Orenz who was trying to remain calm and said lightly.

Ryan's words were like a sharp arrow that shot into Marquis Orenz's heart.

"It should be. That should be because the Durham family didn't have time to tell me." Marquis Orenz's face turned pale, but he still firmly believed that the Durham family was fighting with their Orenz family.

"Haha, in fact, the top leaders of the empire knew last night that His Highness Menia and I were on our way back." Ryan said with a smile.

This sentence immediately became the last straw that broke the camel's back for Marquis Orenz!
"What!" Marquis Orenz looked distraught and couldn't believe it.

For a moment, as an old noble, he could no longer understand the cause and effect.

No wonder.
No wonder he never waited for the Durham family’s team to arrive!

He, no, it should be said that the entire Orenz family had been abandoned by Duke Drum when they knew that Ryan had returned.

"Wait, Lord Ryan, you don't want to get into unnecessary trouble by killing me, right?" Seeing Ryan slowly walking towards him, Marquis Orenz, who was facing a life-and-death crisis, couldn't help but panic and said.

"Oh? What's the trouble?"

Ryan looked at the other person attentively, as if to say, 'You talk, I'll watch you perform.'

"Lord Ryan, the earls and above are high-ranking nobles in the empire. Even if they violate the laws of the empire, they must be reported to the Imperial Senate for adjudication and judgment. Killing an imperial marquis like this will definitely cause a lot of trouble."

"I am willing to pay you all the wealth of the Orenzi family and swear that the Orenzi family will never take any revenge."

"No need. The trouble you mentioned is not a trouble in my opinion." Ryan shook his head and said.

"So, Marquis Orenzi, goodbye!"

"Wait, I do." Marquis Orenz was panicked and was about to say something.

But the next moment.

The hardened refined gold in Ryan's hand instantly turned into a long dagger and pierced into the forehead of Marquis Orenz who was begging for mercy!
"Pfft!"

As a stream of red and white bean curd-like substance burst out from the back of his head, the expression on Marquis Orenz's face was forever frozen in fear, regret and unwillingness.
"Lord Leilan, I..."

As for the last level 3 crystal wizard from the Isolde School, when he saw Ryan kill three people in just a few seconds, even the Imperial Marquis, without hesitation, he was so horrified that he even stuttered when speaking.

"Don't be afraid, tell me where you come from and why you are here." Ryan said to the last person with a smile.

When the other party saw the smile on Ryan's face, he felt as if he had been greatly honored and encouraged, and like a drowning man who had grabbed a straw, he stopped stuttering for a moment and said quickly:
"Lord Ryan, I am from the Isoldere School. I am here to assist Marquis Orenz under the order of the deputy master, Lord Malcolm."

As he was speaking, suddenly, the intricate marking pattern on the right chest of his wizard robe flickered slightly.

"Witchcraft message? Let's listen." Ryan glanced and said.

"It's Lord Ren."

The crystallized wizard quickly injected his mental power, and a projection symbol appeared in the air.

The other party is just a message, not a real-time message.

Normally, the most commonly used means of communication for a Level 3 Crystalized Wizard is also leaving messages.

After all, maintaining real-time communication requires much more mental energy, and non-Dawn wizards rarely choose real-time communication.

I only heard a middle-aged man's voice from inside: "The operation is terminated, return quickly."

The other party's words made the third-level crystal wizard in front of him extremely angry!

Just half an hour!
It would have been great if you had informed me half an hour earlier. It’s no use notifying me now!

"You are very cooperative. I can spare you the moment. Later, you can take me to the Cyrodiil Plateau, the base of the Isoldre School. Is there a problem?"

"No problem!" The crystallized wizard understood in an instant. If he rejected it, he would die now. If he led the way back, there might be a glimmer of hope. So, he nodded quickly and said.

"very good."

After saying that, Ryan's hand gently placed on the other's chest.

As a dark silver ripple flashed by, the other person's entire body began to be slowly covered by a layer of dark silver metal.

"grown ups."

The other party was horrified and thought Ryan was going to kill him.

"Don't be afraid. I heard that wizards from your Isoldere School like to make their enemies into stone sculptures. I think metal sculptures might be more beautiful."

After the opponent's entire body, including his face, was covered with metal, Ryan left two small openings in his nostrils for him to breathe.

Ryan just wanted to imprison the other person, not kill him.

Then, Ryan picked up a "metal sculpture" and disappeared in the room again in a flash.

And shortly after Ryan left.

A maid held a bottle of fine wine and knocked respectfully on the door of the room for a long time, but she didn't hear any sound from the room, which made her curious.

So she gently opened the door, and the scene before her made her scream!
"what!"

And the other side.

When Ryan appeared again, he was already near the entrance of the temple.

"If I carry objects, no, people, across with me, will the consumption of mental energy increase greatly?" Ryan looked at the metal statue in his hand, a thoughtful look on his face.

Just now, he used his newly acquired ability 'Shadow Shuttle' again, but found that if he brought people with him, the consumption of mental power would increase exponentially. Come to think of it, if he could easily bring people with him, I'm afraid Quinna's value would be greatly increased, and the second prince Everton would not send Quinna to his door so easily.

"In other words, at present, this ability is basically only suitable for my own use."

"Also, you can't directly enter areas protected by magic arrays." Ryan looked at the magnificent temple in front of him and thought to himself.

He had wanted to go straight in just now, but unexpectedly he found a great obstruction.

Although it should be possible to force entry, it was a friendly area after all, and it was not appropriate to enter so violently. Therefore, Ryan appeared near the entrance of the temple again.

A few minutes later, Ryan walked into the temple calmly.

"Captain!" Angus, Evelyn and Neolo all exclaimed excitedly.

"Sir Ryan." Punishment Knight Brandul said with a smile.

"Ryan!" The beautiful woman Jennifer excitedly lifted the hem of her long skirt and quickly came to Ryan.

However, she seemed to remember the presence of people around her, especially La Grey, so she stopped at the last two steps and did not immediately throw herself into Ryan's arms.

The barbarian girl, Lagre, is, after all, a high-level violent warrior, so her self-control is relatively better, but there is still uncontrollable joy on her pretty face.

"Don't worry I'm fine."

Ryan took the initiative to step forward, hugged the beautiful woman and comforted her.

As an ordinary person, Jennifer must be under imaginable pressure when facing the crystallized wizard and the titled knight.

Then, Ryan stepped forward and hugged Lagre, ruffling her hair and said, "Thank you for your hard work."

"Don't suffer, I'm glad you're back." As a barbarian, Lagre dared to love and hate. She hugged Ryan tightly and kissed Ryan on the cheek, and said.

"Thank you for your help, Lord Brando." Ryan walked forward and greeted him with a smile.

"Sir Ryan, this is what I should do. However, due to our limited strength, even with the help of several Sword Bearers, we are still at a disadvantage. Therefore, we can only temporarily place the two ladies in the temple."

Branduer, who was carrying a silver two-handed warhammer on his back, said with an apologetic look on his face.

"This is a very appropriate arrangement. Lord Brando should not blame himself."

"Angus, Evelyn, Neolo, long time no see."

Ryan stepped forward, hugged his three former teammates gently, and said.

"I'm sorry, Captain, our strength is still a little weak. We are investigating now."

"Don't worry, I've already taken care of it. By the way, where's Vieri?"

Ryan looked around and found that Vieri was not there.

"Captain Vieri died of his injuries." Evelyn, who had red hair, turned her head and said with red eyes.

"Huh? Vieri is dead?"

Ryan's eyes gradually narrowed, and a compelling aura emanated from him.

At this time, a girl ran out from the side hall. It was Georgia. When she saw Ryan for the first time, she ran over quickly, grabbed Ryan's arm tightly and said:
"Lord Ren, my brother is dead."

"Fandal is dead too?" Ryan was slightly stunned and said.

"Yes, Lord Fandral was petrified and his head was cut off." Looking at Georgia who was choking and unable to speak, Lagre said.

"It's all my fault. I didn't listen to Lord Luther and return to the imperial capital immediately. This is why..." The beautiful woman Jennifer blamed herself.

"This has nothing to do with you." Ryan comforted.

At this time, Neoro had just carefully looked at the statue that his captain Ryan brought into the hall, but he was shocked and couldn't help but exclaimed: "Captain, is there anything inside this statue you brought?"

"I just dealt with the people who attacked you last night. I kept this person because I was planning to go to the Isoldre School in the Cyrodiil Plateau."

Hearing this, everyone was shocked!
At this time, Ryan proposed to go to the Isolde School, obviously not for a friendly visit.

"Lord Leiren, that is a large school. I am already very satisfied that you can kill the murderer who killed my brother." Georgia widened her beautiful eyes and looked at Leiren in shock, and at the same time, she said with concern.

"Don't worry, Georgia. Since the other party dared to kill your brother and Vieri, how can this be enough?"

"Jennifer, Lagre, I will let Evelyn and the others take you back to the imperial capital first. Later, I will arrange for the Sword Bearer airship to take you there."

"Well, Ryan, since you're back, everything will be up to you." The beautiful woman Jennifer had no objection.

"Well, if you go to the Cyrodiil Plateau, be careful!" Lagre nodded and said.

"As for Angus, Evelyn, and Neoro, if you don't mind, I would like all three of you to come to the Imperial Capital Headquarters." Ryan said with a smile.

"Really? Captain!" Angus said excitedly.

"Yeah, of course."

Ryan just made a quick observation and found that the strength of Angus and the other two had been steadily improving during this period. Although the extent of the improvement was not comparable to his, it was still very good compared to people of the same age.

The main reason is that Ryan took into consideration that as his strength increased, many things would be inconvenient to handle without his own team.

Especially when he is away, the safety of his family cannot be effectively guaranteed, and it is indeed time for him to train some team.

Half an hour later.

Munster Swordbearers Chapter.

"Ryan, is the problem solved?" Admiral Edward poured Ryan a cup of black tea and said.

"The matter of Munster has been resolved, but next I have to go to the Cyrodiil Plateau."

"Isodre School?" Admiral Edward immediately thought of something. His hand holding the tea shook slightly and his eyes widened.

Obviously, Ryan would not go to the Cyrodiil Plateau for no reason.

"Ryan, that is a large school. The leader of the other school is the Dawn Wizard Stuart Abel, who is known as the 'Shield of Rock'. You..." Admiral Edward said, frowning slightly.

He didn't think that Ryan was inferior to the other party in strength, but because the other party was a veteran Dawn Wizard with extraordinary means after all.

In addition, Cyrodiil High was originally the enemy's base camp, occupying the geographical advantage, and it seemed that they could not attack directly.
"Thank you for your concern, Admiral Edward. I came here this time to discuss with you. I would like to transfer Angus, Evelyn, and Neoro to the Imperial Capital Headquarters. I wonder if you can bear the pain of giving them up."

"Haha, of course that's no problem!"

"But, Ryan, are you really not going to think carefully about the Isolde School?"

"No, this is a good opportunity to clear up some things." Ryan shook his head, drank the tea in the cup and said.

"Admiral Edward, thank you for the tea. I look forward to meeting you again next time." After saying that, Ryan stood up and said goodbye.

A few minutes later.

A high-speed airship flew towards the southwest, and the people below watched the airship gradually disappear.

"Admiral, do you think the captain will go to the Cyrodiil Plateau this time?" At this time, the red-haired girl Evelyn frowned slightly and asked the question that Jennifer and Lagre wanted to ask.

"will not!"

Admiral Edward knew what Evelyn wanted to ask, and immediately shook his head and said.

"I am not worried about Mr. Ryan's safety, but the impact this incident may cause."

Ok?
Everyone couldn't help but look at Admiral Edward.

Naturally, no one present had a clearer view of the political situation at the top than Admiral Edward.

"If Lord Ryan really had a fierce conflict with the Isolde School, I'm afraid that some people and forces in the empire would use this matter to attack Lord Ryan."

“This is the most troublesome thing.”
