Can't I develop my own character?

"Let's put Kesha's matter aside for now. If she doesn't take any action, I won't alert her."

"He's still too weak. We need to quickly get Lin Qi to the second level of transcendence."

There is another tricky point.

Ryan originally planned to kill Adler and then find an opportunity to kill Keisha, so that he could completely clear his name. But now Keisha is a traitor, her strength is unknown, and he has no idea how likely it is to kill her.

But then again, Keisha is a traitor, but now she is working for him. If Adler dies, Keisha will become his subordinate in public.

And not many people should know Kesha's identity, so information about him should still be kept confidential... Well, that must be the case.

"See if you can add a new character after Xia Li changes her job. If you can, let the alt give it a try."

Anyway, if a level 1 trumpet dies, it dies.

As long as I can test Kesha's strength, it's worth dying no matter how many times.

...

For the next three days, Ryan searched for the location of Cazorla Prison while letting 'Xia Li' explore the maze.

Lin Qi relayed Kasiladi's plan to High Priestess Leah, and then continued to wait for Kasiladi's action. With nothing else to do, he concentrated on leveling up.

After being promoted to a priest, Lin Qi was no longer so busy every day.

The management of the church was left to the priest, and she just had to show up every day.

In his spare time, Lin Qi went to the old campus of Berman University to look for evil spirits. Unexpectedly, the evil spirits that appeared there were as high as level 20, and elite monsters could be encountered occasionally. In two days, Lin Qi successfully reached level 19 and was making a push towards level 20.

Not only that, a book of swiftness was also produced.

Ryan directly gave the skills to 'Xia Li' to learn.

However, the high frequency of leveling up accidentally made 'Lin Qi' appear on the hot search list of Berman University, because the Blood God Cult incident not long ago caused a group of bold people in the school to enter the old campus to explore, and then they had a chance encounter with 'Lin Qi' who was leveling up.

Late at night, in an abandoned building, an unknown battle.

The sight of Lin Qi holding a dagger and flashing swords was scary enough. Eyewitnesses described him as a vengeful spirit wandering around the old campus, earning him the title of "murderer."

Fortunately, Lin Qi had the habit of concealing his face when leveling up, and since it was at night, Ryan wasn't worried about being seen... well, although no one really had the courage to get that close.

"It should be in this area."

Inside the office.

Ryan marked two locations of Cazorla Prison in the city according to his memory.

'Xia Li' extracted information from a member of the Blood Cult and confirmed that she was in the city, but there were two points in the city, and because so much time had passed, the map information she saw from Kesha no longer matched the current one.

However, the prison site in Xicheng District has been turned into a commercial street. Although the underground space is not affected, the flow of people is too heavy, so the Blood Bishop is unlikely to choose that place.

The prison in Dongcheng District is located in a slum area and the conditions are just right.

We have been conducting preliminary investigations over the past two days and have now basically pinned down the approximate location.

But before he could act, Jonathan suddenly showed up.

The situation in Berman City seemed to have stabilized after three days of hibernation, but as long as Casradi did not leave, there would be no peace.

This time, Casradi is already prepared. She needs the cooperation of the Fire Covenant to launch a plan to kill Adler.

When Ryan heard this, he knew that the good day to kill Adler and clear his name was finally coming!

Chapter 46: Echoes of War, a God-killing Profession? [4k5]

Casradi planned for three days and finally came up with an action plan.

In two days' time would be Mass at the Janus Gate, and she would attend and create an opportunity that would make it seem possible to attack.

This is not a 100% successful plan, but Casradi is also helpless because Adler has recently completely adopted a retreat plan, doing his job as secretary-general diligently every day and working wholeheartedly for the people of Berman City.

Anyone who doesn't know his true identity would generally praise him as "what a secret".

In fact, Adler was indeed very cautious. Apart from municipal work and necessary social engagements, he rarely moved around.

He would even disappear quietly at night, not even returning to his own home, so that Casradi had no chance to lead people to attack Adler's residence.

He listened to Creed's advice and interpreted the word "dormant" to the fullest.

Mass is an important ceremony at the Gate of Janus, and many high-ranking municipal officials will attend. Casradi asked Bill for help, and the latter would bring Adler along.

Then they needed to lure Adler out alone.

"Isn't this a clear conspiracy?" Ryan wondered after hearing Jonathan's story: "Could Adler be so stupid?"

Jonathan took a puff of his cigarette and said leisurely, "Who knows? That guy is very cunning, but his current situation is very delicate. I feel like he's waiting for something, maybe support. But even if he does get support, it will be difficult for him to find an opportunity with the whole city under martial law."

Ryan touched his chin and said, "Why doesn't the princess consider leaving Berman City? If Adler knew she was leaving, he might do something desperate."

"Oh~ then that old dog Adler will bark with joy."

"How to say?"

"You don't think it's safer out here than in Berman City, do you?"

"Too."

Ryan nodded. If Kasiladi really left Berman City, the next place he would arrive at might not have another loyal and brave Jonathan, nor would it have a grandpa like him, Ryan.

Unless the old emperor directly sends someone to pick him up.

But Casradi was obviously ambitious. She wanted to carve out a territory for herself in Berman City, otherwise she would have run away on the train overnight.

But the key now is to deal with Adler. Casradi doesn't have that much time to wait. If it doesn't work this time, she might just open the other world in the municipal building and kill Adler.

"So what are we going to do?" Ryan asked.

"I'll be leading the Fire Covenant, and you'll be leading the Administrative Bureau. Your job is to protect Her Royal Highness the Princess and the Mayor, so you're the closest to Adler among us."

"The princess will be away on the day of the mass. Adler's men should still be at the headquarters. When you arrange your defense, just spread the word and let Adler know."

This is Jiang Taigong fishing, those who are willing will take the bait.

Ryan responded: "How about I take personal responsibility for protecting the princess? I'll keep an eye on those people to prevent anything from happening to the princess."

"Of course that's good. Her Royal Highness's safety is the most important thing." Jonathan sneered. "Adler lost Norman. He must be regretting it now."

If Norman were here, they would be in trouble.

After all, no action in the city can avoid the administrative office.

But Ryan is in charge now, and it won't be so easy for Adler to transfer the sheriff.

After Jonathan left, Ryan contacted Adler and told him about the attack.

"Damn it! I knew that Casradi was going to deal with me." Adler's voice was filled with anger. "Jonathan is also a lunatic. He stares at me at work, stares at me after get off work, and stares at me when he gets home. He's nothing but Casradi's dog!"

"Ryan, thank goodness you're here. Jonathan would never have thought we were in the same group."

Who the hell is on your side... Ryan advised: "Lord Adler, this matter is obviously not in our favor, otherwise why don't you find an excuse to shirk it that day?"

"No, the mayor told me not long ago, and the princess is here, so how could I not go?" Adler thought for a moment and suddenly laughed, "But it's just right, we can use their trick against us."

"How to say?"

"Now that we know their plan, isn't this our chance?"

"But hasn't our support arrived yet?"

"So Ryan, you are our last hope!"

Ryan smiled.

Otherwise why would he be so anxious to tell Adler the news?

This old Deng is very cunning and never does anything without confidence. If Ryan wants to lure him into action, he can only have hope if he does it himself.

Because Adler is a man who is eager to do big things, the attack on the train station failed, and his status in Maganna's heart plummeted (maybe it was originally non-existent, and it plummeted to the center of the earth), and he is eager to prove himself.

If Ryan didn't go, Adler would definitely not wander around and would stay by the mayor's side the whole time. He might even have a group of reporters and guards follow him. It would be difficult to take action with those ordinary people in Kasiladi.

But now Ryan wants to protect Casradi, so he has a reason to get close to her, so Adler will of course give it a try.

If you win, Grand Duchess Maganna will give you a huge reward.

If they lose the fight, at most the Dark Hand will have to give up the last few people. Anyway, Adler will first ensure his own safety.

"Lian, if this succeeds, I will introduce you to the Grand Duke!" Adler beguiled. "The Grand Duke is the God-given Emperor, the one who will eventually rule the empire. If you are lucky enough to meet her, you will surely be conquered by her charm."

“That’s really exciting!”

Very well, Adler, now I have to get rid of you.

Ryan just wanted to curse in his heart. "Why did you introduce me to Maganna? You think I'm not black enough, right?"

Besides, what's the point of being charming or not? He's just a 1.5 meter tall kid, with a prettier face, bigger breasts, and better skin...hiss~ Don't mention it, Maganna has always been a very popular character in the game, a bunch of copper-smelting beasts!

Well, Ryan also plans to create a loli account later. There is no other intention, but I just want to see different identities and professions, and see if I can better play the role, right?

For example, a nun, a killer, or a tank, you can't play the same profession all the time, right?

After finalizing the details of the attack plan with Adler, Ryan opened the game. He planned to try to raise Lin Qi to level 20 and complete the second advancement in the next two days.

After loading Lin Qi's character interface, Ryan asked Lin Qi to explore the way to the location he had previously speculated.

In the interface, 'Lin Qi', dressed in a gray and black robe, was walking in the slums. Occasionally, ragged people could be seen on both sides of the road, either leaning against old dilapidated houses or lying directly on the ground.

Lying down, a true portrayal of the slums.

But it’s not that these people are unwilling to work hard, but that they simply don’t have the conditions to work hard.

Ryan knew too well the situation at the bottom of the empire, at least that was the case in Berman City. The upper class controlled all the resources, and the good jobs were screened out layer by layer, and what was left were the hard labor jobs that only paid a minimum wage.

Even so, a group of people still can't get any work.

It would be even more miserable if you were reduced to a slave status. All your personal freedoms would be stripped away, and basically only an empty shell would be left.

"The rich feast on wine and meat, while the poor freeze to death on the streets... The ancients were not wrong."

Being too old to bear seeing these things, Lin Qi set off towards the target point and arrived at the area marked by Ryan in about half an hour.

There was no clue from the outside, and after a round of searching, Ryan found nothing wrong. He was not in a hurry and asked Lin Qi to wait nearby. She would definitely be able to detect any cultists as long as they appeared.

By seven o'clock in the evening, darkness completely enveloped the urban area. The slums without any municipal construction were completely dark, and there was not even a coal lamp to light them.

With the help of moonlight, evil spirits slowly emerged in Lin Qi's field of vision.

“It really is refreshed at night.”

Ryan had been pondering the question of whether wild monsters were part of the game mechanics, just like loot and treasure chests. Otherwise, with evil spirits everywhere, how many paranormal events would there be if these things attacked people?

In fact, among the cases handled by the Administrative Bureau, only a few were killed by supernatural powers. Unless they encountered large-scale sacrificial ceremonies, they would be more brutal than cultists or nobles and wealthy businessmen.

Either these evil spirits don't attack people, or they are refreshed by the game mechanism.

[Evil Spirit Wandering in the Crevice lv22]

“The level is quite high.”

According to Ryan's experience, the higher the level of wild monsters that spawn, the more likely something has happened. For example, the old campus of Berman University where a sacrifice took place has a very high level of wild monsters.

By analogy, there must be something going on here too.

Otherwise, how could a group of poor people die and create such a high-level evil spirit? Ryan didn't believe it.

Since he was free anyway, Ryan simply let Lin Qi level up here, but he kept leveling until almost ten o'clock and there was no movement.

"It looks like there won't be any action today."

The whole city is now under martial law, especially the curfew has not been lifted. Seeing that the Hand of Darkness has been thrown into the ditch, the Blood Cult will naturally be cautious. After all, they are still preparing to do something big.

After setting 'Lin Qi' to AI AFK, Ryan switched to the character interface of 'Xia Li'.

You discovered an altar.

"what?"

In the character interface, what Ryan saw was a new map.

"Fuck, we got out of the maze?"

Ryan was stunned. Wow, what kind of powerful AI is this?

Ever since he knew that there was a Karut maze under the cell, Ryan basically gave up the idea of ​​exploring on his own and just let the AI ​​hang up the whole time.

After all, he had to avoid being discovered and explore the maze at the same time, and the difficulty of doing both was indeed a bit too high. He didn't have that much time to study.
