Can't I develop my own character?

The sound was difficult to discern, as if distorted by some force.

Adler shuddered and hurriedly explained, "Casradi has joined forces with the Fire-Chasing Covenant. They are simply too numerous, and Casradi is also a formidable sorcerer."

"Is this the reason?"

“No, no…”

Creed said calmly, "Adler, you disappoint me so much. You handled the matter personally entrusted to you by the Grand Duke like this, and you didn't even choose to report it immediately."

Plop.

Adler knelt on the ground and shouted, "I want to make arrangements before reporting back!"

"So, you've made your plans now?"

"Yes, yes... I've hidden the remaining members of the Dark Hand. There will be no problems. Today, during the Fire Covenant Operation, Ryan... Oh, thanks to Ryan, he has become an official investigator, and his magical talent has reached C-level. I promoted him to the position of captain of the Administrative Bureau. He will definitely be given more and more attention by the Fire Covenant!"

"Oh? Not bad."

Creed nodded slightly.

C-level talent is indeed much better than that of ordinary people. Theoretically, it can reach the level of a fifth-level transcendent and is worthy of key training.

"This Ryan is your only hope," Creed said. "If the Grand Duke hadn't decided to attack the Fire Covenant, you would have been completely worthless. Do you understand?"

"understand."

Adler nodded repeatedly, feeling lucky that he had Ryan under his command, otherwise he wouldn't know how he died now.

"Okay, you've been dormant lately, I'll send someone to support you."

After saying that, Creed's figure disappeared in the mirror.

"Whoo~"

Adler stood up and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

"Fortunately, it seems there is still hope."

He was just afraid that Creed would say, 'Adler, you're no longer useful.' Fortunately, Ryan was there... "By the way, we have to quickly deliver the things he wants."

It doesn't matter what the Dark Hand is like. Adler just wants to grab Ryan as a lifeline.

...

7 p.m.

It started to rain lightly in Berman.

After finishing his work at the bureau, Ryan drove to the Dongcheng District Bookstore.

There was no one else in the bookstore.

"Mr. Ryan."

At the cashier counter, Keisha stood up and nodded to Ryan.

"The things that the Master gave have been delivered. Do you want to take them now?"

"Wait a minute, I'll find a book."

There was no rush to get the things, Ryan wanted to see if there was any information about Cazorla Prison.

Ryan walked into the bookshelf area and flipped through it casually. It turned out that there were all kinds of books here.

"What book is Mr. Lane looking for?"

"It's been a while, you know Cazorla Prison?"

"It's been a while. Please wait." Kesha walked to one of the bookshelves and pulled out a book. "There are relevant records inside."

"Oh?"

It actually exists?

Ryan opened the book, which was a book containing information from all over the empire. He found the city of Berman and saw the words "Cazorla Prison" in it.

From its establishment, to its function, to the time of use, and even the location, there are records.

Cazorla Prison is divided into three areas: two within the city and one outside. The inner city is located in the east and west districts, while the outer city is located southeast of the city and is now covered by a forest.

"Three places..."

It is a bit troublesome to find the place where "Xia Li" is imprisoned. Transportation outside the city is the most troublesome, but the safest. Transportation inside the city is relatively moderate, so anywhere is possible.

"Kesha, do you know Kaluuto?" Ryan asked. "I heard some news last night. The Janus Gate is going to deal with the Blood Bishop. Casladi seems to be looking for information about Kasora Prison and Kaluuto."

"Kalut? I don't know. Are you looking for information about him?"

"It's a map." Ryan added, "The maze map he designed."

He was not worried that Keisha would tell Adler about the matter. First of all, the latter was being watched by Jonathan, so even if he had doubts, he would not come over to ask rashly.

Secondly, Ryan said it was a matter of Casradi and Janus' Gate, and Adler would not ask them to verify it. There was no need. After all, he was now Maganna's loyal pony.

Grand Duke, I am a loyal subject to you!

"I never heard."

"I see... That's right."

Ryan nodded, not surprised.

Just when he thought his trip was in vain, Kesha suddenly said, "The existence of knowledge is illusory. It has been taken by the gods and imprisoned in a place beyond human reach. The more you master, the more ignorant you will feel, because knowledge drifts on the sea of ​​ignorance... Lord Ryan, if you need it, I can help you."

"Oh? How can I help?"

"Please go to the ninth bookshelf."

"The ninth bookshelf? This one? And then?"

"Open the ninth book in the ninth row, and it will tell you the answers you want to know."

Chapter 45 Ryan: Why are there traitors everywhere?

Ryan stretched out his hand, paused, and then put it down.

He turned and glanced at Keisha.

What were you saying just now?

Ninth shelf, ninth row, ninth book? Bro, do you know what you're talking about?

At this moment, a chill rose from Ryan's back, giving him goosebumps.

Fuck your uncle!

The memory of the dead is still chasing him!

In the game Empress Online, the game background is stitched with a lot of information from other games, novels and even movies. This was not uncommon in Ryan's time. Anyway, if you can stitch it, just sew it as hard as you can!

As for the setting of the Outer Gods, some elements of the Hammer world next door were borrowed.

For example, the word "nine" is not just a number in the simple sense. As long as you add something to it, it will produce incredible effects.

Mental pollution!

The twilight eye of the groove!

The Eye of Dawn and Dusk believes in Moras, the Lord of Treachery.

Wisdom, knowledge, and strategy are all synonymous with Him. Believers feel that He is omniscient and even call Him the God of Wisdom.

It sounds normal, but in fact the so-called "God of Wisdom" is just the self-indulgence of believers.

Just like the war that the Blood God symbolizes, the wisdom that Moras symbolizes is also not a good word. Once His power appears, it will inevitably be accompanied by a catastrophe.

As for the Eye of Dawn and Dusk, that is the name of the Moras faith sect. The image is an eye, representing Moras himself. Believers believe that he can see through the essence of knowledge and weave ever-changing destinies from infinite wisdom.

Simply put, he is very good at playing tricks on people.

Nine is the representative number of the Eye of Dawn and Dusk. They believe that nine is an all-encompassing number, representing that everything can be controlled by wisdom.

However, only those chosen by the Lord of Trickery know the meaning of this number. Ordinary people, even members of the Eye of Dawn and Dusk, do not know what nine represents.

then.

You're telling me to go to the ninth, ninth, and ninth at this moment? Good fellow, you're clearly trying to trick me, right?

If Ryan hadn't read the official information, he might have been tricked.

"What's wrong?" Keisha tilted her head and asked in confusion: "Mr. Ryan, is there a problem?"

Woman, you have a big problem.

She has light yellow curly hair, a friendly smile, and a pretty face. She looks like an older sister. It is really hard to associate her with the word "pagan".

Ryan admitted that Adler would recruit people. As a singer, there was no problem for Kesha to hide in the bookstore, but as the singer of the Eye of Dawn and Dusk, that would be a big problem.

Lord Adler, our organization is a sieve, isn't it? There are traitors everywhere!

To be honest, Ryan had no idea that the Eye of Dawn and Dusk was controlling the city of Berman.

But it is certain that Kesha is definitely not Adler's person. One is the Eye of Dawn and Dusk, and the other is the Hand of Darkness. They have nothing in common.

Then the problem is coming.

Now how to do?

"Nothing, I saw a book that really interested me."

Ryan's hand naturally reached out to the sixth book in the sixth row and took it out. He saw the words "Noble Bai Jie" written on the cover.

Keisha was stunned: "Mr. Ryan, your taste is really..."

"That's what happens when you're hot-blooded." Ryan laughed and put the book away. "I'll take the book with me and return it to you in a couple of days."

"Of course no problem, then about Cazorla..."

"I'd better meet with Lord Adler first. He's being targeted by the Fire Covenant. Should I not act rashly? After all, we lost quite a few brothers today."

"...Yeah, that's right."

Keisha didn't show any abnormality and nodded calmly.

"Help me get my things out, I'll take them and leave."

Ryan said.

Keisha went to get something.

Adler was worthy of being the head of the organization in Berman City. He was much more generous than Jonathan. He gave Ryan a full five thousand soul jades alone, and also gave Ryan two magic scrolls to save his life.

【Magic Scroll·Light Shield】

【Quality: First Grade】

[Effect: Forms a magic shield after use.]

【Magic Scroll: Explosion】

【Quality: Level 2】

[Effect: After use, the spell "Explosive Flame" is released to attack the opponent.]

"Good stuff."

One attack and one defense, suddenly throwing it out against a second-level extraordinary person has a certain chance of winning.

Thank you, Mr. Adler!

But now was not the time to be happy, Ryan put the things in the car.

Start the ignition and step on the accelerator!

Ryan didn't feel relieved until he left the street where the bookstore was.

"Huh~ Damn it, Eye of Dawn and Dusk, where the hell did this thing come from?"

The fundamental reason was that he was not sure of Kesha's strength, but he knew that the person who used the word "nine" could not be a small fry. If the latter had forced him to open the book just now, he would probably be contaminated by wisdom.

Don't underestimate mental erosion. It may happen in an instant, and you may not even notice it.

Ryan recalled it carefully, making sure that he had not revealed any chicken feet, and then began to think about his next move.

This trip was not completely fruitless. At least the locations of three points in Cazorla Prison were determined, and the biggest traitor around Adler was also uncovered.
