Chapter 298 The Fierce Girl, the Whereabouts of the Divine Medium (Subscription Request) (V)
Master Xisu left the Birki world, and Ryan asked Master McKen to return to the Frozen Territory to keep an eye on him.

As for the Mage Luna, she was transported to Birki bit by bit. After being reassembled, she looked at the tall Mage Tower in front of her in amazement.

"Tear it down!"

Mage Luna only shows rare emotional fluctuations when facing extraordinary objects from the magical side.

"Demolished?"

Ryan was surprised.

"It would be a waste to demolish such a large mage tower."

"It's useless to keep it. The magic source of the Mage Tower has been removed. That thing is like my golem emblem. It is the energy core of the Mage Tower."

"In addition to the source of magic power, there are three forbidden spells, fifteen conventional magics, and one hundred and twenty-six stage auxiliary magics engraved on the Mage Tower. I can't activate most of them. Only Mage Xisu can release them smoothly."

“If you can’t send it smoothly, these things are meaningless.”

"The nine-story Mage Tower has the top floor storing the source of mana, and the first floor is a prison, used to imprison magical beasts captured by magicians, as well as some precious extraordinary materials with resistance capabilities."

"The first floor is empty. The death of the world has left his Mage Tower strapped for cash. It's not rich at all."

"The second to fifth floors are where the magician's treasures of various attributes are stored. They are also empty. Either the things were taken away by him, or he didn't have much wealth in the first place."

"The sixth and seventh floors are magic research laboratories. He is very poor."

"The eighth floor is an observation area, and it also serves as a support for the meditation room on the ninth floor. In theory, the observation method of the Holy Domain Mage is such that the spiritual power in the Mage Tower can see the world a thousand miles away."

Mage Luna finished her speech and came to a conclusion based on the mage tower in front of her.

"He is very poor. Apart from the reward given to you by the Mage Tower, he has nothing else."

"Also, the structure of this Mage Tower doesn't suit me, and I don't like it. There are too many places to store treasures, four whole floors, and these places can be used to arrange magic fountains that amplify the Mage Tower."

Ryan was speechless. It turned out that Master Xisu was so poor.

Fortunately, after he went to the Clayton family, the Clayton family would help him build a new wizard tower.

"Without the Mage Tower, will his cultivation level drop?"

Ryan asked, and Master Luna thought about it and shook her head.

"He will be weak for a while. A magician must have a magic tower to become a great magician, but after becoming a great magician, the magic tower is no longer necessary. Even if he is weak, he is still a powerful sanctuary magician."

This is also the reason why Master Xisu is not obsessed with the Mage Tower. As long as the magicians stand on a step, even the gods cannot deprive them of their extraordinary powers.

"After demolishing this Mage Tower, I will have most of the materials for my Mage Tower, especially the floating stones. I can even have a lot left over for Archmage McKen."

The Mage Luna's Mage Tower will be very different from ordinary Mage Towers, because her main body is now a golem puppet, and the material requirements for the Mage Tower are not purely floating stones.

"You can float in the air without magic."

Ryan stood by and watched Mage Luna dismantle the Mage Tower. When the floating stones resonated, the entire Mage Tower actually made a slight hum and was about to fly into the sky.

"Fortunately, Master Xisu has already removed most of the magic patterns that make the Mage Tower a whole. Otherwise, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to dismantle this big thing."

Mage Luna became interested and began to compete with the mage tower in a battle of wits and courage.

The reason why magic secret patterns are called secret patterns is because searching for them is a very troublesome thing. Even if they are found, they may not be able to be destroyed. Master Xisu obviously knew this, so before leaving, he erased all the magic secret patterns he left behind.

Firstly, it would prevent the magicians under Ryan from knowing the methods he possessed, and secondly, it would facilitate the dismantling of the wizard tower.

Ryan looked for a while and then left, because it seemed that it would take a long time to completely turn the mage tower back into materials.

Master Xisu left, leaving behind a group of nobles and low-level magicians who looked at each other in bewilderment, like abandoned and resentful women.

Their greatest reliance here is Master Xisu. Now that the Holy Land Master has left, they are like shivering hares in this snow and ice.

They haven't made a decision or an idea yet.

Ryan didn't have any thoughts about these people for the time being.

The members of the War Bear Tribe had no thoughts about their familiar neighbors.

No one expected that the person who reacted the fastest was Bogold, the arrogant girl.

That night after Master Xisu left, the girl rushed towards her neighbors with dozens of people who were afraid that others would not recognize them as warriors of the War Bear Tribe.

After a lot of chaos, the girl knocked on Ryan's door late at night.

Ryan, who was wearing pajamas, was a little afraid of the cold wind outside. He looked at Bogold with vigilance, who looked strong on the surface but was actually just a girl.

The latter chuckled twice in a sneaky way, then stealthily carried out the quilt that was wrapped into a long strip behind him, in which there was a person who was obviously struggling.

"You nobles like this kind of women. I'll help you grab one."

"Last time you blessed my brothers with strength, we haven't paid you yet. Today we are even."

Ryan's eyes widened, then he glanced at the group of green eyes behind Bogeld nodding up and down in the dark.

The tall armored bear Volibear grinned with two rows of white teeth like a dog. After Bogurd became stronger, it became smarter.

Ryan looked at the struggling quilt and felt his scalp tingling.

"Send the people back quickly."

"I can't send it back. Their soldiers are already on patrol. I had a hard time getting it out of the biggest house for you."

Bogeld threw the quilt to Ryan, then quickly disappeared into the night with a group of people.

After a moment, Ryan looked at the dishevelled woman and was somewhat amazed.

"The daughter of Count Furthe, the royal wife? Anaïs Furthe?"

The woman looked at Ryan with some fear, but she forced herself to straighten her chest and said with a little dignity:
"I am the future Queen of Wales, and the most noble woman in the Kingdom of Yeling."

"The Night Spirit Kingdom is long gone, as for my fiancée..."

Ryan's scalp tingled. This was no ordinary trouble.

But now that he is here, I can’t explain why I send him back at thirty.

Standing by the lake in the cold wind for a night, Ryan was thinking about the possibility of killing all those nobles.

"It's troublesome. Although I am not a noble now and I am not recognized as a noble, as a former noble, it's okay if they are alive, but if they die, they will definitely be recognized as the same kind. If it gets out, it will have a bad impact on my reputation."

In a world with a population of 100,000, it is impossible for Ryan to shut up everyone. If he kills a group of them, it will be difficult to deal with the rest. If he doesn't kill them, these nobles will cause trouble for him.

"This girl, Bogeld, is really causing trouble for me."

The sky gradually brightened. After thinking all night, Ryan still couldn't come up with the best solution. If all else failed, he could only kill all the nobles. Before killing them, he had to force them to be loyal to him so that Master Ryan could earn some spirituality.

However... things seem to be a little different from what I expected.

Early the next morning, the nobles, led by Count Furte, came to the War Bear Tribe crying.

"Baron Ryan, the kingdom's bloodline has been cut off. The curse of the world killed His Highness Wells last night."

"The Night Spirit Kingdom——there is no heir!!!"

Count Furte cried loudly, but Ryan still smelled a faint smell of blood on him.

"We are wanderers. We are cursed by the world we once lived in. He does not allow anyone to betray us. Even if we have left that world, we still cannot escape the curse."

"His curse will kill us all."

After listening for a long time, Ryan finally understood the whole story amid the crying.

This girl, Bogold, was even more ruthless than one might imagine. She did not sneak into these aristocratic towns by lurking around, but killed her way in.

Through killing and interrogation, he found out where the woman in the house was, then killed his way through the nobles, rushed in and snatched the woman out.

Anaïs didn't know what was going on because her vision was blocked by the quilt, but for nobles like Count Furte, what they saw was a hell, a bloody scene that they had never seen before.

They were afraid. The fear that might have taken a long time to react to appeared early on the day after Master Xisu left. So, the heir who nominally gathered the nobles of the kingdom died under the curse of the world. Not only him, but also many nobles, all died in the "curse".

"The gods cursed us and stripped us of our nobility."

Count Furth took off the ring on his hand and handed it to Ryan.

Bogard didn't seem to cause him any trouble.

Ryan blinked and glanced at a gap in the house on the other side. The girl had already retracted her head, but Volibear, the silly bear, was still smiling at him foolishly.

"So, no worries?"

Ryan looked at the nobles in front of him, then looked at his own house, picked up the ring and walked towards the house.

He didn't sleep well late at night, so he needs to make up for it during the day.

"Your tragic experience is regrettable. I believe that the gods will not attack ordinary people a second time, so don't worry."

Count Furth glanced at Ryan and felt relieved.

He didn't think that was the woman Bogd's idea. The people of the War Bear Tribe were too stupid to think of killing them. Before, the people of the War Bear Tribe felt sorry for these wanderers and kindly gave them a lot of food.

So everything that happened last night must have been instigated by the noble in front of us!
Fulte was a little frightened. They had no extraordinary powers, and most importantly, Master Xisu told him that he had defected to the earl's father who was behind Baron Ryan. Their greatest support was actually standing behind the other party.

How could this not make Count Furth, who had a keen political vision, realize the seriousness of the problem?

He even suspected that Baron Ryan, as a baron, would not take them in anyone with a title higher than baron, especially a former nobleman like him with the title of earl.

The difference in titles made it seem like a sword was hanging over the head of this nobleman, whose title was once far higher than that of a baron, ready to fall at any time.

So, when His Highness Prince Wales angrily asked them where their wives had gone last night, he had rare courage.

Looking at the remaining fear after being killed by one man and one sword in front of his nobles, there was no pleasure in Fult's eyes, but rather greater fear.

If it was so gratifying for the Earl to kill a royal collateral bloodline who was pushed out, then the Baron should be even happier to kill the Earl, right?

Looking at Ryan's back, Fulte felt that the person in front of him was like a devil hidden in human skin.

However, he took the initiative to hand over his handle to such a demon.

"Serving the devil, Anaïs will surely forgive me. After all, I am her father."

Count Furte prayed in his heart, then smiled at the members of the War Bear Tribe around him.

He used to be high and mighty, but now he has become a commoner.

In fact, Anaïs didn't have the time or energy to have any ideas.

……

"I heard them say that night that there were several more. I'll go grab them for you in a couple of days."

Bogeld sat on the rock next to Ryan, his big feet wafting in the lake, and the armored bear next to him drank the footbath water without a second thought.

"This won't happen again. This woman can be used to recruit these former nobles who hold knowledge and heritage, but no more."

Bogeld shook his head and looked at Ryan.

"Can't you handle more?"

She looked regretful, which made Ryan's eyebrows twitch.

"I have the blood of the Fire Dragon and a physique comparable to that of a giant dragon. How can I fail?"

He sternly corrected Bogold's incorrect guess.

"Then I will continue to rob in a few days. If you bless my brothers with strength for 120 people, I will rob you 120."

The arrogant and unyielding girl was not afraid of Master Ryan and spoke to herself.

The corner of his mouth twitched, Ryan took a deep breath, and thought seriously about the one hundred and twenty words...

"Don't go, they will deliver it themselves."

Ryan's final words, spoken earnestly, made Bogeld give up his barbaric idea.

"By the way, we may know what you are looking for."

Bogeld suddenly said.

"A few days ago, the army of the Crazy Bear Tribe ambushed the Violent Bear Tribe. We sent people to inquire about the situation, and the Violent Bear Tribe told us the secrets of the Crazy Bear Tribe."

"The reason why the Crazy Bear Tribe can make lightning appear on the armored bears is because of a divine weapon."

"Artifact?"

"Yes, it's a divine weapon. The Gram's scabbard that gave birth to the Gram's Sword is the divine weapon left by the Frost Lord. The Gram's Sword is the power of the Frost Lord condensed through the scabbard."

"The people of the Wild Bear Tribe mastered the fallen divinity of the Frost Lord. In order to resist the North, they used the divinity to activate the artifact and forged the Sword of Gram."

"That's what I said. It's not that strange. Gram just happened to help the Wild Bear Tribe block the White Plague in the North."

"How could the Violent Bear Tribe know such a secret?"

Ryan was surprised.

"Because they are brothers. The original Violent Bear Chief and Crazy Bear Chief were brothers. Their bloodline is second only to the nobility of the Bogeld family."

"Our army will be able to set out in a few days. We were originally going to deal with the Violent Bears, but now the Violent Bear Tribe has been defeated. We only need to deal with the Crazy Bear Tribe."

Bogeld stood up and said:
"If you bless another hundred of my brothers, I will help you snatch the Gram sword sheath and give it to you. That will be... worth two hundred."

"Including the last time, I will help you rob nineteen more women."

"..."

Ryan finally used up his spiritual blessing on the warriors of the War Bear Tribe. Of course, it was not for those nineteen women, but to make the warriors of the Mad Bear Tribe stronger.

Because they possess the power of thunder, the Armored Bear and the Wild Bear Warrior are connected through lightning, thus achieving a special relationship between Boggard and Volibear.

That is to say, the power of the armored bear will be directly transferred into the warrior's body.

They were already born with powerful strength due to the sacrifice of the bear's awakening, and directly enduring the armored bear could make the warriors become stronger for a short period of time.

Only through blessing can the soldiers of the War Bear Tribe have the physique of an apprentice knight, so that they can withstand more of the power fed back by the armored bears, and thus fight against the warriors of the Mad Bear Tribe.

Ryan had a very fulfilling few days and was reluctant to leave.

But in the end, Anais and a few former nobles were brought back to the Frozen Territory.

"This is my territory, located at the border of the empire. Among your group, a lord will emerge. It could be anyone."

Ryan said ambiguously that while dividing these nobles, it can also bring about a competitive effect.

Inside the castle, the Viscountess looked at the newcomer, compared the two, lowered her head to look at her own chest, and glanced at the waists of both parties. She became more confident, and her hostility towards Anaïs also disappeared a lot.

"Sir, Viscount Walter invited you to attend the banquet hosted by his daughter and the second son of Viscount Slamu of the South. However, according to your wishes, I sent a gift on the grounds that it is difficult to travel in the snow, and declined Viscount Walter's kindness."

"Well, it seems that Viscount Walter has begun to move closer to the southern noble circle, and the other nobles should be similar."

Ryan nodded and Beard was surprised at Master Ryan's wisdom.

"A total of six nobles from Yinchuan County, Beifeng County, and Longshan County have set off for the south. Their bodies seem unable to adapt to the colder environment this year. They are also heading to visit a noble territory in the south."

"They have invited you, sir, and they want you to write a letter asking them to visit the Clayton family."

"You've brought the heir along, too, right?"

Ryan sneered. These nobles had a lot of ulterior motives. They went to the South just to form an economic and political alliance.

But this is also part of integrating into the imperial aristocratic circle.
