The goddesses attempted to gain my salvation.

"If we are lucky enough to meet again later, your heads will be chopped off."

"Did you hear that?"

The grumpy guy with his finger broken lay on the ground, tears streaming down his face, not listening to a single word.

Seeing this, Ryan shook his head helplessly, picked another lucky person, grabbed his arm, and was about to crack his knuckles.

We were wrong!!

We were really wrong!!

"Get out right now, we're getting out right now!"

The hot-tempered man was in tears, constantly begging for forgiveness.

Of course, Ryan could not forgive them.

So, after breaking all of the lucky man's fingers, they kicked him out.

"roll."

The hot-tempered guys who had just been spouting nonsense now helped each other away, leaving only the one who had initially tried to touch Olina behind.

Ryan looked at him and shook his head.

I think I used too much force and broke his neck.

Most of them are probably dead.

But it doesn’t matter.

When Ryan returned to the tavern, all the patrons had vanished.

Only Orina, and in the corner, a beautiful woman wearing a red and black cashmere cloak and glasses.

Without a man, Olina felt much more relaxed.

I found a secluded spot, carefully cleaned the chair, and then sat down.

Ryan noticed the woman in the corner, and she was looking at Ryan as well.

After their eyes met, they both said the same thing at the same time.

"Ryan, it really is you!"

"Rose? What are you doing here?"

The drinks were served, along with dried meat and preserved fruit.

The steel knife was still stuck in the bar counter, and the owner couldn't pull it out no matter how hard he tried.

Unfortunately, we had no choice but to give up.

As for the corpses outside...

He was carried away by guards who rushed over after hearing the news.

They had originally intended to take Ryan back for questioning, but after glancing at the steel knife stuck in the bar, they decided to give up.

They are most likely no match for Ryan.

Enforce the law impartially against those you can defeat. As for those you can't...

Haha, what kind of law are you talking about!

Whatever you say goes.

Even if they said the man committed suicide, they would have to believe it.

Furthermore, Rose later came forward to explain the whole story.

The man had intended to flirt with Olina, but Ryan broke his neck in one blow.

The tavern owner can attest to this.

Since they brought it on themselves, they deserved to die.

After taking one last look at the steel knife, the guards carried the body away.

"So, you came here to record the empire's king selection ceremony?"

Rose nodded: "That's only one aspect."

"I actually received an invitation from Ms. Tracy of the Thiel family to act as her mouthpiece and write news articles favorable to her throughout the entire crown election ceremony."

"I can earn thirty gold coins each month. If things go well, I can earn even more."

Thirty gold coins a month is already a considerable income.

Given that Rose and Tracy were already acquainted in Lavala, Ryan wasn't surprised.

but......

Ryan and Orina exchanged a glance.

During their travels in the Empire, the two had heard a lot about Tracy.

Orina wasn't interested in Tracy, but Ryan was very interested in her.

In the college room, that daffodil still lies in the vase.

Ryan wanted to go and see how she was doing.

"So when are you going to see Tracy?"

Rose pondered for a moment, then sighed.

"I probably won't be able to go to her territory for the time being."

"Oh why?"

Rose took out a map and spread it out in front of the two of them.

"Recently, there have been many cases of people going missing in the Empire, sometimes in towns."

"I plan to go over there and see if I can find out anything."

Upon hearing this, Ryan felt a chill run down his spine, and Olena beside him immediately perked up.

People missing?

And it's based on towns and cities?

Could it be... that another sacrificial ritual has taken place?

Chapter 220 A Predestined Fate

Afterwards, Rose told Ryan what she knew.

At the same time, the specific sequence of these mass disappearances was also drawn on the map.

After fully understanding the cause and effect, Ryan and Orina were almost certain that the sacrificial ritual had indeed reappeared.

The two exchanged glances.

Their journey is not over yet; there are still many places they haven't visited.

But.......

A sacrificial ceremony took place.

They could not pretend nothing had happened and continue their travels.

"Ryan, let's go take a look."

Ultimately, it was Olina who spoke first.

Ryan sighed.

"Ok."

"After things are settled here, we'll continue our travels. There are so many beautiful sights we haven't shown you yet."

After confirming that Ryan would also be going, Rose, who had been worried about potential dangers, could now breathe a sigh of relief.

She had witnessed Ryan's strength firsthand.

"By the way, Mr. Ryan."

"You haven't introduced the lady next to me yet."

Ryan stood up and took Olina's hand.

He introduced it with a smile.

"She is Olina, and she is my woman."

Rose smiled bitterly.

This Ryan, not only already has Tracy, but he's also found such a beautiful woman to be his wife. He's really on track to build a harem.

and many more......

Orina?

Rose snapped out of her daze and quickly looked Olena up and down.

She had seen a portrait of Orina in the Adventurers' Weekly.

However, since there is a limit to the artist's skill, the final artwork differs considerably from Olina herself.

Therefore, Rose did not recognize her at first.

When she heard the name Orina, combined with Ryan's identity and the facial features in the portrait in her memory, she realized that...

Rose suddenly realized what was happening.

"you......"

"Wait! You wouldn't happen to be... the High Priest of the Bysma Church, would you?!"

Orina nodded gently.
