Can't I develop my own character?

terrible!

Ryan once again marveled at the destructive power of desire.

This thing is just like a virus, there is no way to control it.

Compared to killing and scheming, desire is everywhere, and it does not need to be created like a virus, because everyone has desires, and emotions are deposited in the body and can easily be guided out by force.

After all, in a world like this, where oppression and injustice are everywhere, emotions can erupt in an instant.

Ordinary people desire a stable life, while extraordinary people desire more powerful strength. Moreover, extraordinary people themselves are too close to mystery, and the influence of the path contained in magic is also an important factor that cannot be ignored.

Ryan used stealth skills to silently pass through the outer perimeter of the castle and enter the interior.

The brightness of the magatama remained constant, which meant that the target point had been reached, but he couldn't be sure where it was.

The castle is so big and there are so many people.

The only thing that is certain is that the magatama is not on Albert, the head of the family.

Considering this point, even the head of the family wouldn't be brought along, let alone others. Perhaps he's somewhere like the family treasury.

"Where is the treasure house?"

Ryan stood in the corridor of the castle.

Then I saw a figure walking towards me unsteadily.

It was a short-haired young man, naked and with a dazed look on his face. He rushed up immediately after seeing Ryan.

"Damn, there are zombies!"

Ryan kicked him to the ground.

Then switch to 'Vene's' character card and use the Soul Singer's ability to control it.

Although 'Weinei' is only at the fourth level, it is more than enough to deal with these ordinary people.

However, ordinary people don’t know much information. After Ryan interrogated him, he found that this guy was a piece of shit and knew nothing.

"It seems we need to find a superhuman, and a powerful one at that."

It is actually very easy to find the extraordinary people. After all, the Path of Desire has a certain resistance to this kind of power. Just find those who are still wearing clothes.

It’s just that extraordinary people have a strong resistance to soul control, but fortunately, the method to make them lose the ability to resist is also very simple.

Ryan used the magic spirit to launch a sneak attack, breaking out from the opponent's shadow, beating him half to death, and then switching to the ability of "Vene" to control him.

After repeating this three or four times, Ryan got news about the "family sacred object" from an old man who was suspected to be the family elder.

The relic is in the castle's underground chambers.

Ryan determined the location of the entrance and took advantage of the chaos to find the entrance to the underground space. The two guards at the door were releasing their desires, and the scene was simply unbearable to watch.

It makes sense that lust can be used as a representative channel for the characteristics of desire. Compared with the effects of releasing other emotions, lust is difficult to match in terms of range and visual effects. Perhaps this is related to the fact that the God of Desire himself is more inclined to control the ability of lust?

Otherwise, it can only be explained as 'astringency is the primary productive force'.

After successfully entering the underground, Ryan saw a narrow staircase that turned several times. After going down the stairs, it turned into a long corridor with marble floors. Wall lamps hung on both sides of the walls, bringing the only light to the dark underground space.

"Why do these villains like to build their basements like cemeteries? Aren't they afraid of the spooky atmosphere?"

Ryan complained as he walked inside.

This is the place where the Hefit family holds sacrifices. It is not in use at this time, so no one was seen along the way.

Boom, boom, boom, boom...

Ok?

Ryan paused, attracted by a series of knocking sounds.

The sound came from the ceiling above his head. He looked up and found that there were cracks on the ceiling, and the knocking sound came from above.

He took two steps back, then knocked harder with a loud bang, causing the stones on the ceiling to fall down.

Along with the stone, there fell another...person?

boom!

"Ouch~"

A little girl with light yellow hair and a face that doesn't match her height. But her face looks very delicate, even though she looks a little dusty at the moment. After washing, she will definitely look like a doll... But no matter how Ryan looks at it, he feels something is wrong.

She's too short to be called a girl.

Although she looks like a child, her face is too mature and her temperament is not right.

The child's immaturity can be seen at a glance.

"Wait, dwarf?"

"Ah! You, you you!" The dwarf girl raised her head, and after discovering Ryan, she hurriedly grabbed the hammer beside her and smashed it at him, "Die, demon of the Hurst family!"

boom!

The hammer was stopped by the demon spirit, who snatched the hammer from the dwarf girl and threw it away, then lifted her up in the air.

"Let me go, you Hearst demon! I, Kavanaugh, will never surrender! Oh, Earth Goddess, please bless your devout believers! Let all these guys who try to spy on the secrets of civilization go to hell!"

"Earth Goddess, is this okay?"

Ryan spread out his hands, and the power of the mark of the earth was released, emitting a golden light in the dim basement.

Kavanaugh was stunned: "How could you... The Hearst family clearly believes in the god of desire..."

"Who said I'm from the Hearst family?" Ryan smiled slightly. "Let me introduce myself. I'm Ryan, the messenger of the earth and the most devout believer of the goddess."

The other party was Cavanaugh, the dwarf classmate mentioned by Casradi. Since he was an old acquaintance, Ryan naturally didn't need to hide his identity. After all, he still needed to maintain a good relationship with the dwarf.

"If you say so, then so?" Although she saw the power of the earth, Cavanaugh remained vigilant. After all, she was now trapped in the enemy camp. Maybe this was a conspiracy of the Hearst family!

"It doesn't matter whether you believe it or not. This identity is not undisputed anyway. The important thing is that you should know Casradi, right?"

"Casradi! Who are you?!"

"Of course she and I are best friends." Ryan spread his hands. "It's a long story. Anyway, I came here for some reason, but Casradi told me about you and rushed from Barron to Sin City to meet you. But what's going on with you? Why are you in the Hearst family's underground space?"

"Are you really Kasradi's friend?" There was still suspicion in Cavanaugh's eyes, but his vigilance was obviously reduced.

"Of course, I swear in the name of the Earth Goddess." Ryan activated the seal, and the seal of the golden rock appeared in front of Kavanaugh. "Goddess, please bear witness for me and let this dwarf friend let down his unnecessary vigilance."

As soon as he finished speaking, a golden light was so sacred and dazzling that Kavanaugh could hardly open his eyes.

"The Seal of God! This is the Seal of God!" she exclaimed. "You are the Messenger of God!"

what?

Ryan was stunned. No, I was just talking about the messenger casually. Why did you believe it?

"The mark bestowed by the Earth Goddess can only be possessed by Her messenger. There is no doubt about it!" Cavanaugh said with a firm expression.

Ryan was silent for two seconds, then nodded. "Yes, that's right. I didn't expect that even though I hid so deeply, you still found me. Dwarves are indeed the most loyal followers of the Earth Goddess."

"I've seen this mark in the holy land of my tribe, so I believe you!...Um, can you let me down?" Cavanaugh blinked.

The demon spirit slowly put her down.

After landing on the ground, Kavanaugh dusted himself off, then knelt devoutly in front of Ryan, prostrating himself in defeat.

"Great Messenger, Spokesperson of the Earth Goddess, please forgive Kavanaugh's disrespect!"

"Ignorance is innocence, Kavanaugh. As an envoy, I pardon your crimes."

Ryan felt that his toes were curled up. Ah, this damn embarrassing feeling, my second-year soul is about to explode!

But it must be said that dwarves are really short. Cavanaugh is even a little shorter than the Grand Duke. According to Casradi, Cavanaugh is already considered tall among the dwarves.

One meter four tall?

Are dwarves usually only about 1.23 meters tall?

This doesn't seem too short.

Another point is... well, dwarves are worthy of being called butter. They are not big in any place but they are big in one place. It's really outrageous!

"Thank you, great messenger!" Cavanaugh stood up joyfully. "Mr. Messenger, you must have heard my call and come to save me on behalf of the goddess, right?"

Ryan coughed lightly: "Half of the reason is yes, and the other half is that I have to go inside to get something."

"in?"

Cavanaugh didn't know where this place was, but she chose to follow the Earth Messenger without hesitation.

Ryan didn't mind taking her with him. After all, it was still quite dangerous here, and his identity as the Earth Messenger seemed to be quite useful. It seemed that his chances of persuading the dwarves were better.

On the way, Ryan asked about Kavanaugh's situation.

Cavanaugh told the Earth Messenger truthfully what had happened to him in the past few days.

Just like Casradi said, she came here to look for the remains of civilization.

There are many fallen civilizations in the Khazaar Plains. Although most of the ruins are worthless, there are still some buried in unknown places.

Cavanaugh was lucky enough to find the remains of a Chaos God, which were very well preserved. The architectural style and mechanism design inside fascinated Cavanaugh.

Just as she was about to have a good tour, she discovered that there were people in the ruins, and those people also discovered her, so the tour quickly turned into a game of cat and mouse.

Fortunately, Cavanaugh escaped with flexible movements, but he didn't expect that he would fall into a pack of wolves just after escaping from the tiger's mouth. Before he could escape far, he was bumped into by people from the Hearst family and was caught.

This happened this morning. Albert wanted to get clues about the dwarves from her, so he temporarily locked her up in an underground cell.

Cavanaugh was already in despair, but not long ago, the guard who was guarding her suddenly seemed to go crazy and started "attacking" the people in the dungeon.

The dungeon of the castle was Albert's private space, where were imprisoned people who needed to be tamed, mostly beautiful women, but also some handsome boys. In short, the scene was very shocking at one point.

Kavanaugh was locked in the innermost area. She took advantage of the chaos and hit the ground with a hammer, and then the situation turned into what happened just now.

"...Wait." Ryan caught the point, "You're locked up, where did you get the hammer?"

Cavanaugh said as a matter of course: "As a dwarf learning the blacksmithing civilization, it's reasonable for me to carry a hammer with me, right?"

"It does make sense... bullshit!"

You think you are 'Xia Li'!

Ryan looked at her and found that the hammer was gone. He looked more closely and found that Kavanaugh was wearing a bracelet on his arm, and the thing hanging on the bracelet was a mini hammer.

Relic?

Ryan suddenly realized.

No wonder the floor was broken through in such a short time. If Charlie had had this thing at the time, she wouldn't have had to dig so hard.

"Why aren't you affected by the power of desire?" Ryan asked again.

"It's not...it's not unaffected."

Kavanaugh said hesitantly.

Only then did Ryan realize that the dwarf's face was a little red and his eyes looked a little strange. It might be because they were underground so the power spread more slowly, and this guy himself was also a transcendent.

"and many more."

Ryan grabbed her hand, then used his strength to suck out the emotions in Kavanaugh's body.

Suddenly, Kavanaugh felt a kind of sacred feeling of "being as holy as Buddha after masturbation".

"Praise the goddess and thank the messenger for his help!" Cavanaugh exclaimed, it's really amazing, he is worthy of being the messenger of the goddess of the earth.

"It's a small matter, but from now on you can call me Reid, or Earth Messenger."

"Ryder?"

"For some reasons that are inconvenient to say."

"Yeah, I understand."

Cavanaugh didn't ask any more questions. The envoy must have his reasons for saying so.

As they were talking, they reached the end of the corridor. Their view widened and they saw an empty underground sacrificial site in front of them. The layout was somewhat similar to that under Barron Castle, but it was much smaller in scale.

"Isn't this a place to worship the God of Desire?"

Cavanaugh looked at the statues surrounding the sacrificial site. They were not statues of the god of desire, but some strange-looking statues. They were not very big, only about one person tall.

"The six followers of desire, six again. Sure enough, the number six is ​​related to desire." Cavanaugh said to himself.

Sister, because it is a sacred number... Ryan thought, but said nothing, his eyes fell on the stone platform in the middle of the sacrificial field.
