Can't I develop my own character?

"Can the arm be reattached?" Ryan asked.

"If it's a healing profession, there's hope of doing it, but it's not that easy."

Magna said nonchalantly.

"Lord Ryan, you..." Gluck wanted to say something, but had no idea what to say.

"Don't worry, this level of situation is fine." Ryan chuckled, "Besides, I represent Her Royal Highness the Princess and do not belong to the Iron Blood Legion. Alvin dare not act rashly."

Yasen walked over, deliberately lowering his posture a little, and asked, "Why do you say that?"

"It's simple. Alvin wants to destroy the Iron Blood Legion, so he can't let them join forces with the princess. That would complicate the situation. If you had taken action just now, he could have sent troops immediately. Unfortunately, you didn't. He had no reason to take action, understand? What's the point of killing me? Killing me will only cause more trouble."

"Of course, everything should be done in moderation, so no one died just now. But Irvin will definitely take action next, especially after I meet with General McCoys. Be prepared, your peaceful days will be short."

Ryan knew that Alvin and the others would become anxious as soon as he arrived.

Who said there's no possibility that the princess will cooperate with the Iron Blood Legion? What if?

The old emperor is about to die, and he has no way to deal with the princess outside. When the old emperor passes away, the throne must be snatched away by all means. It is reasonable for the princess to seek some advantages for herself, right?

Yasen was stunned. "So there are these reasons? Mr. Ryan, listening to you talk is much more comfortable than listening to that guy Creed."

Gluck said, "Lord Ryan is a man of great wisdom."

"Great, we are saved."

Yasen said hurriedly, "Let's go to the camp quickly, General McCoys is over there!"

Ryan had proved his loyalty with his actions just now. Yasen's attitude had changed significantly. He drove the car himself, with sparks and lightning all the way, and took Ryan and Maganna into the camp.

"Unfortunately, General McCoys is out," Yasen frowned. "There was a conflict between the Iron Blood Army and the Royal Guards outside the city, and he's gone to deal with it... You guys should rest in the camp tonight. The general should be back tomorrow, and General Iverson should be here too."

Ryan nodded: "If possible, please tell the general not to rush into war."

"I will."

Yasen arranged accommodation for Ryan and Magna.

It was getting late, and Ryan was thinking about what to do next. The Grand Duke was the last trump card, and the Fire Covenant was also a card, but Alvin now held the Emperor's Sword, so it was not easy to do it legitimately.

The key is... Creed.

If we knew what that guy was hiding, we wouldn't have to worry.

But where was Creed? When I asked Yassen just now, he didn't know, so even if I wanted to assassinate him, there was no chance.

"It's come to this... Let's play games first."

After logging into the game and taking a look at Lin Qi's situation, the second level of the Saint's Assessment is an assessment of the spirit and will, which requires withstanding the erosion of the power of foreign gods, especially the power of the God of Desire.

Because the Janus Gate scriptures teach that desire leads people into the abyss, He is an omnipresent and pervasive enemy.

Then Lin Qi passed the test without even frowning.

There is a third level next. If you can pass it successfully, you can become the saint of this term.

"To be honest, the hardest part is actually the first level?"

It would be great if Lin Qi could really become a saint.

Sure enough, my wife is awesome... Ryan thought as he turned off the game and prepared to have a good night's rest to prepare for tomorrow's storm.

As a result, he was awakened by a voice in his sleep, and Ryan saw the white-haired loli beside him in a daze.

"Ryan Ryan! Don't sleep anymore, get up quickly, I'll take you to do something big!"

"?"

"...Fuck you, Grand Duke! Don't lift my blanket!"

Chapter 79: Loyalty is not absolute, it is absolutely disloyalty! Janus Saint Lin Qi! [1w4]

After half an hour.

In the lord's castle in Childe City.

"...What you mean by doing something big is coming to your own house and stealing things?"

Looking at Maganna who was rolling around with her butt raised, Ryan was speechless.

This was the first time he had seen someone sneaking into his home.

"Shh, keep your voice down. The castle guards are very powerful." Magna said without turning her head. "This matter is very important. Since you said I can't show up for the time being, I can only come back secretly. During the day? I will definitely be discovered."

"So what are you looking for?"

"Wait, I remember it should be here... Oh, right, here."

Maganna found a small bottle filled with light blue powder in a box where a bunch of miscellaneous things were stored.

She walked to the bedside, unscrewed the small bottle, and poured it out bit by bit.

A magical scene appeared.

A 'door' suddenly appeared where there was nothing originally.

Ryan stared at it in a trance: "What is this?"

"A kind of space powder, very rare, you don't know it."

"Then why is it in the box? Just lying there?"

"What else?" Magna looked at Ryan, as if it was a matter of course. "It's not used in normal combat, so is there any problem with leaving it in the room?"

It seems to be fine, but there seems to be another problem... "Put the storage bag?"

"Things are too messy, and I always take the wrong ones. Anyway, no one dares to come into my room, not even the maids."

"What if someone really comes in?"

"I will chop him into pieces, so no one dares to come in but me."

Ryan was completely upset. No, Grand Duke, then I am not a human being? Am I a human being at all?

Magna walked to the door and turned around and said, "Oh except you, I allow you to come in, you are the second one."

It is truly my honor... Ryan secretly shook his head. Oh no, he couldn't keep up with the Grand Duke's train of thought.

The door was made of stone. Maganna pushed it inward and it opened, and then a staircase leading to the underground appeared.

It was magical. Ryan really wanted to know whether this staircase really existed in the castle, or was hidden by the space powder just now and existed in another space.

The stairs were not long and soon reached the end, where there was a straight passage with some kind of glowing crystals inlaid on both sides of the road.

Darkness, a basement, a white-haired lolita...hiss~ Why did the scene become so strange? Something was wrong, nine out of ten, maybe even nine out of ten.

Ryan felt that he was overthinking it.

However, in reality...

He just overthinks it.

There was no cell or punishment prop at the end of the passage, but a square object like an altar with fire burning around it, but it was not an ordinary bonfire, otherwise it would have burned out long ago.

"Wait here for a moment."

Magna walked to the altar alone.

In the middle of the altar, there is a bowl-shaped object filled with a black unknown liquid.

Maganna walked to the center of the altar, releasing her magic power. The formations under her feet were lit up one by one, outlining a huge pattern.

Then she took out a dagger and cut her finger.

tick~

The blood fell into the bowl and merged into the black liquid.

"I am Maganna Isa. With my blood, my strength, my name, I declare the pact of death..."

On the altar, long white hair flew high with the magic power.

As the low incantation continued, black mist continued to pour out of the bowl. The mist slowly gathered in the air to form a huge scroll, which was filled with dense words that Ryan could not understand.

Maganna dipped her hand in blood and lightly tapped the scroll. The scroll turned into black mist and dispersed again.

The dispersed black mist turned into countless points of light and floated into the void, disappearing.

"Grand Duke, this is..."

"My backup plan," Maganna said proudly. "Lion, do you think I haven't kept a trick up my sleeve after all these years in the Western Territory? You underestimate me. Just wait, I'll soon let that old man from Barron know. If he wants to die, he'd better do it peacefully. Provoking me won't benefit anyone!"

"The Grand Duke is mighty."

The power of the Death Faith Path. In the game, Maganna's ability is set to be the Death Path, but it is not clear what her specific profession is.

"Was that some kind of contract?"

In the series of spells just now, Ryan only understood the word "contract". The spells and magic in this world are very complicated and difficult to understand unless you are a singer.

"That's a death contract."

"Isn't the contract the power of the God of Order?"

"That's the normal understanding, but there are always exceptions." Magna crossed her arms. "Death is the end of everything. Although He is said to be an Outer God, He is actually different from the other four Outer Gods. He has always existed within all things. The only true Outer Gods are Blood, Weirdness, Desire, and Chaos."

"To sign a death contract at the cost of one's life is an asymmetry that transcends order. I am the leader of the contract, and the one on the other side must obey me. Do you understand?"

Ryan suddenly realized.

The order contract generally referred to is a contract based on the principle of fairness.

This is the principle of order, so many believers in order are businessmen.

And death is an unfair contract.

"But I never force anyone to sign a death contract with me. I give them the right to choose. I grant them new life, honor, and power in exchange for their loyalty. This is actually a fair exchange of contracts."

Magna said matter-of-factly, "They can also choose to refuse. The outcome could be death, becoming a refugee, and losing all honor. Accept your fate, or change it, Ryan. What's your choice?"

Ryan thought seriously for a moment and shook his head: "I don't know."

"now it's right."

"How to say?"

"People who proactively think and make contractual exchanges are mostly profit-driven. It's like if I tell you you can enjoy wealth and glory as long as you sign a contract with me, ten thousand pigs will come. I don't like that. I like smart and capable people. I give them choices, but that often comes in desperate situations, giving them a chance for a new life."

"Because when he was in desperate situation, he was already dead, and the next life would be to serve me. Although I walk on death, I am always granting new life."

Ryan was stunned: "Grand Duke, you really are very wise but appear foolish."

Oh praise the Grand Duke, I actually heard philosophical words from her mouth, damn, I must still be asleep, don't wake me up!

"Hmm...hmm?" Magna was stunned for a moment. "What do you mean? Are you saying I look stupid?"

"Oh, of course not. This is just some excited nonsense. It's hard to express my inner feelings."

"Hmph~ That's good. If you are in desperate situation, I will give you a new life. But it's better not to wait until that day, because I sometimes hate puppets who have lost their souls." Maganna felt that Ryan was good the way he was now. She just wanted loyalty. He was not an obedient puppet or a pig. She never lacked these.

Ryan is different from others. He is very "lively" and has fresh ideas. Maganna likes this. Old people with stubborn and outdated ideas will be eliminated by the times sooner or later, but she never stops and keeps moving forward.

"follow me."

Magna walked around the altar and into a small secret room inside.

This place is a bit like Adler's original secret room, with a lot of messy things in it, such as magic potions and relics.

"I heard that you became the vice-captain of the Fire Covenant? I'll give this to you as a gift." Maganna took out a small bag from a pile of things.

"Storage bags?"

"Correct."

"Um...can you change something?"

"You don't want it?" Magna was a little surprised. "This thing is not common. It's a relic that can only be obtained when Janus passes through. It is very rare even in the Janus Gate."

Ryan thought, "Of course I know, but it's useless to me. Isn't my system backpack ten thousand times more advanced than this? And it can be shared by all my alts!"

"I have it. I bought it from a gilding merchant last time."
