Can't I develop my own character?

Of course he killed the person, and the killer was not "Xia Li". After all, "Xia Li" would join the army in the future, and it would be bad if she left a stain, so he sent An to carry out the assassination mission.

Long range, one shot to the death!

The profession of gunner literally means attacking with guns, either pistols or rifles are fine. Ryan has seen the technique of hitting with a double gun, and he has to say it is really amazing... Thanks to Grand Duke Maganna for sending such a useful talent.

Burnett is dead, and his property cannot be inherited by his children. 'Charlie' sorted out a lot of the good things that guy did from the Dihuo Gang, and revealed them all while the Administrative Bureau was investigating the cause of death.

For a moment, the memorial service commemorating the death of the noble Mr. Burnett turned into a meeting of accusations. No one would have dared to do this in the past, but smart people had already sensed the mayor's intention to take action.

"The empire requires loyalty, Baron Burnett, he is a termite of the empire and a disgrace to the nobility!" - Excerpt from Mayor Ryan's "Today's Speech".

Originally, Ryan didn't want to bother with this matter, but there was nothing he could do. He was short of money, and Burnett happened to be rich. Isn't this too much of a coincidence?

Moreover, most of the arena's business was taken over by Burnett, and the remaining part had to be given to the slave traders who provided gladiators, so there was actually not much left for the Dihuo Gang.

This money has to be used for the gang's daily expenses and the support of the brothers' families. Although the gangs in Berman City seem to be very powerful, most of them are poor and work for the nobles. They are good at taking advantage of the power of others.

It was impossible for Ryan to see a certain Axe Gang throwing large sums of money at people in his previous life. Their money had all been plundered by the nobles.

The conflict of interests, coupled with the disagreement over rights, meant that Burnett was doomed to die.

However, killing a noble still has a great impact, and the Imperial Court will intervene in the investigation. This matter is not like Adler and Bill's, where there is solid evidence and the murderer. Because the murderer has not been caught, it is a mystery. No matter what his crime is, the case must have a beginning and an end.

The Imperial Inquisition is not controlled by local lords. They are a vertical management agency directly under the empire. If the lord is guilty, they can even try the lord... Well, this aspect is basically just written for the people of the empire to see, because even if some people go to sue their lords, it is useless. The person who sued may be gone the next day.

To put it bluntly, the Inquisition mainly protects the interests of the aristocratic group. Ryan is very clear about this, so after killing Burnett, he has no intention of killing the other two senators.

into the night.

Ryan returned home.

"I scraped together a thousand gold coins from here and there, and it's not enough at all."

He had been watching Burnett's property raiding operation the entire time, and it turned out that this guy's entire property was only more than a thousand gold coins. Although this was already an astronomical figure, compared with "Vine", who was also a baron and had a territory, it was enough to show how greedy Burnett was.

Ryan will also take a small portion of these more than a thousand gold coins and put them into the treasury of Berman City. After all, he is only the acting mayor and the real lord is Casradi.

If you draw a thousand gold coins, it's fine if you're careful, but it's still not enough.

He had inquired about it over the past two days and found out that the cost of buying a viscount was at least two thousand gold coins. If one did not have any territory, the price could be more than half cheaper.

But without territory, no one would buy it.

It's no use looking for Jonathan. That guy's pockets are fatter than his face. All his funding depends on Jack's pocket money. He is really poor. The title of Imperial Level 3 Investigator sounds good.

Ryan calculated that his family fortune plus what he had looted from the Earth Fire should be enough to barely make up around fifteen hundred.

Then, at least five hundred or even one thousand.

This is a huge sum of money.

After much deliberation, Ryan decided to ask Grand Duchess Maganna for help.

But what reason should I find?

"...Not enough funds? That's easy. I'll have Gluck send you some tomorrow."

Maganna waved her hand, not caring whether Ryan was really short of money or just pretending to be short of money. She was so straightforward that even Ryan felt embarrassed.

“Thank you, Grand Duke!”

Ryan exclaimed.

Otherwise, how do they say that the crying child gets the milk?

It’s not enough, the Grand Duke’s kindness can never be repaid!

"By the way, how's the situation in Berman City?" Since they had already contacted each other, Maganna asked casually.

Ryan said, "The recovery is going well. Casradi doesn't interfere much with my management, and the city defense forces have basically been rebuilt."

"What next? What are you going to do?"

"On the surface, let's develop Berman City first. The Grand Duke doesn't have to worry. You're not the only one who wants to stop Casladi. I have a feeling that people in the Imperial Capital will definitely take action."

Now that things have come to this, Ryan will definitely have to put some effort into managing Berman City.

I also have an explanation for the Grand Duke. Grand Duke, I am helping Casradi on the surface, but actually I am helping you. If Casradi rises, won't others be wary of her and trust you?

Magna nodded with satisfaction: "I'll have someone keep an eye on the imperial capital, Ryan, just go ahead and do it."

Ryan thought to himself, I will work harder.

The Grand Duke acted at full speed. She had her own set of contact methods with Gluck's team. Not long after Ryan got up the next morning, Gluck came over with a large bag of gold coins.

"Here are the two thousand gold coins the Grand Duke ordered. My Lord, please keep them."

"two thousand?"

Ryan was stunned and weighed the purse, "Why is there so much?"

Gluck had no idea why it was so much, but since that was what Maganna had instructed him to do, he had to do it. Moreover, considering that Ryan needed it urgently, he also took out a large sum of money from the Iron Blood Legion's funds.

"Ah this..."

Ryan suddenly felt the weight of the two thousand gold coins increase suddenly.

"By the way, sir, didn't you ask me to investigate the matter of Kosothoa? I didn't find anything wrong with Viscount Avik, but I discovered another army. It's not clear who they belong to, but they don't belong to Kosothoa."

"Oh? Where?"

"In a forest northeast of Nad City, there are about three thousand people."

Ryan found the map and flipped through it. The location was at the border of the territories of Nad City and Berman City, and was quite far from Kosovo.

Kosotoya couldn't possibly send people so far away. The city defense force of Berman City had just been established, and Ryan knew very well how many people there were. The only possible place was Nad City?

"Just keep watching and see what they want to do. Be careful not to get discovered."

If it was the army from the Nad territory, it would be fine. But I am afraid that outsiders will interfere. After all, Kasradi is still there, and this place is still the center of the vortex of competition for the crown prince.

Speaking of which, the military garrison point is a bit tricky. It is not far from Kyles and is a point that can be rushed anywhere at the command of a single order.

But Ryan was not worried, because he still had the Iron Blood Army transferred by Maganna, which could play an important role at the critical moment.

After Gluck left, Ryan drove to work, took care of his morning affairs, and then opened the game.

'Xia Li' was still working on the arena, because the turmoil caused by the integration of the gangs had basically recovered, and Jonathan's attention was also attracted by the assassination of the extraordinary person, so the operation of the underground fire gradually returned to normal.

The income from the arena was far more substantial than Ryan had expected. This thing was gambling, and it was controllable. It was basically a stable money-printing machine.

"Horse farms, bars, and then... the sex business is also very profitable."

Ryan couldn't help but sigh.

The Augustus Empire did not prohibit the human trade, and Ryan had no intention of prohibiting it either. The main reason was that it was a matter of mutual consent. If this business was shut down, countless people would starve to death.

What Ryan can do is to ensure that those people can get corresponding rewards after their efforts, which is something that the gangs and wealthy businessmen could not give before.

"The bigger your butt, the bigger your job."

Ryan never wears himself out in this regard.

Switch to the character interface of 'Weinei', and as soon as you enter you will see this noble grandfather unable to kill anyone.

I've been playing from yesterday to today, and I still have no experience. If Ryan couldn't hang up, he would have cursed a lot.

After checking the idle log, I found that the castle received an invitation letter early this morning. It was sent by Viscount Malte. The other party seemed to be planning to hold an aristocratic banquet in Kells and invited local nobles to attend.

As for the purpose, it is probably related to selling the title.

"Three thousand five hundred should be enough. If that's not enough, I can only find a way to make it enough for him."

Just as he was thinking about it, with the sound of a gunshot, the lost soul was thrown into the Styx, and the extradition mission of "Vene" was finally completed.

[Extradition of the Dead Souls: 100/100]

Wow~~

The tower of corpses in the large cemetery suddenly collapsed.

At this moment, the countless souls suppressed under the tower flew high into the sky, transformed into streams of light and poured into the shadow of a boat. The boat went farther and farther away, and finally disappeared under the hazy fog.

"I wish to mourn for the deceased, tears falling like rain, filling the river... like a surging tide, to lead you home." 'Weinei' said softly.

Beneath the shattered bones in the Corpse Tower are souls entering the cycle of reincarnation.

You hear the echo of samsara.

[Words exist among all things, and death is also the beginning. I wish to lead them with my song, and to hold the netherworld in my hands.]

【Congratulations on your successful job change. 】

[Job Change - 'Soul Singer']

......

The third update, today is another 17,000 or something, I'm too lazy to count! I will continue to update tomorrow, but I have something to go out tomorrow morning, so I won't update until the afternoon. Please support me! ! !

Chapter 61: The Correct Way to Open the Soul Singer, Xia Li War Limited Edition! [6k]

"Singer?"

It turns out that singers have exclusive professions, which Ryan didn't expect.

Because singers play the same role in all major faiths, which is to preside over sacrifices and communicate with gods.

However, the so-called communication is actually a one-sided transmission of demands. As for whether God pays attention or not, that is another matter.

Soul singers obviously sound better.

Ryan chose to confirm, and the fog that originally filled the surroundings enveloped "Vene", forming a black vortex visible to the naked eye. After about ten seconds, the system prompted that the job transfer was successful.

Ryan opened the character's personal interface.

How should I put it, her appearance hadn't changed much, but her temperament had changed, which was elegant with a touch of mystery and a hint of danger.

She had blonde hair and blue eyes, and black flowing lines were swirling between the hems of her white skirt. She stretched out her hand and pointed, and strands of something like a soul wrapped around her fingertips.

Those flowing black lines seemed like countless floating souls, controlled at will by "Weinei".

【Skill】

【Professional Attribute Growth】

【Constitution: ★★★☆】

【Magic Power: ★★★★】

"Not bad, but his physical strength is a bit low. He's definitely a fragile mage."

The three-and-a-half-star physical growth is basically at the lower limit of the hidden profession, but the five-star spiritual growth is really good.

Compared to the mediocre development of each attribute, Ryan still prefers this kind of excellent single attribute.

As expected, not every character is as perverted as Sister Silent...'Lin Qi', your status as the first wife will not change!

"Soul collection can be used for both offense and defense, and soul control... we still need to try it out. We can't just use it for soul ferrying, right? Speaking of which, Word Spirit is a professional talent. Lin Qi didn't seem to have it at the time, but Xia Li's is a God-chosen skill."

Ryan opened the attribute interface.
