Chapter 141 Heading to the Imperial Capital

Today is Sunday, but Ryan woke up earlier than any other day.

After getting up, Ryan rummaged in the closet for a while and found that there were butler uniforms and housekeeper uniforms, which gave Ryan a headache.

I can't go to Minggao to do things under the guise of being the housekeeper of the Yaxi family, right?

After rummaging for a while, Ryan finally found a butler uniform without the Axi family logo under the closet.

Hmm... Is it better to say it's a deacon's uniform? This deacon's uniform was folded neatly, but it still smelled of dust. It seemed that it had been there for a long time.

Maybe this dress is older than Nenelli...

Ryan even saw some dried blood on the corners of the deacon's uniform, which was hard to notice, and he couldn't help but twitch his lips slightly.

What did old Lamb do in this dress?

However, Ryan was not too surprised by this.

If Old Lamb had never killed anyone, then Ryan wouldn't believe it. After all, the foundation of his swordsmanship was taught by Old Lamb.

After putting on this deacon's uniform, Ryan moved his shoulders and found that although this deacon's uniform looked upright, there was no awkwardness in the movements. It was a bit more comfortable than the butler's uniform he usually wore.

After using water magic to wash away the blood stains several times on the clothes, Ryan finally opened the bedroom door.

"Mr. Lane! Good morning!"

As soon as the door was opened, Daisy flew over.

Ryan had already adapted and stood there, letting Daisy hug him and rub against his chest.

However, after Daisy nuzzled for a while, Daisy suddenly frowned, raised her head and said to Ryan:

"Mr. Lane, the clothes you are wearing smell like dust!"

"Is there one? I found it under the closet. It's quite comfortable to wear."

Ryan moved his arms twice and said with a smile.

Daisy said with a stern face: "Take it off quickly! I'm here to wash Mr. Lane, how can you go out wearing such clothes!"

"Okay, I finally found this dress. That's it. You can wash it for me when you get back."

After rubbing Daisy's little head and comforting Daisy, Ryan walked into the bathroom under Daisy's resentful eyes.

After washing up, Ryan and Delly prepared breakfast together. When breakfast was served, Ninelli had just gotten up to wash up.

After a while, Yvette also came.

"Master, morning."

"Morning, Yvette."

Ryan smiled, and then said: "Although what I taught you and Ninelli are different, after I leave, I still hope that you can learn more from each other, and you can learn more about Ninelli's magic. Teach Nynnally some sword skills.”

"Keep it in mind."

Although she still felt reluctant to let go of Ryan, Yvette didn't show it on her face.

After Ninelli finished washing and came out, Ryan blow-dried Ninelli's hair, and they started eating breakfast.

After breakfast, several people rested for a while, then Ryan stood up and said: "It's getting late, it's time for me to set off, Nenelli, you must take care of yourself these days."

"So fast?"

Nunnally blurted out subconsciously, but felt that she was reluctant to leave Ryan by saying this, so she quickly added with a blushing face:

"I...I'm just a little surprised that it's still so early..."

"It's getting late."

Ryan smiled slightly: "Although Art City is very close to the Imperial Capital, even if we set off now, it will probably take noon to arrive by horseback."

"Master, walk slowly and have a pleasant journey."

"Ah."

After walking out of the mansion, Ryan came to the stables, looked at the thin horse that had been following him since he retired, and reached out to stroke the horse's head:

"I'm going to have to work hard on you again these days."

Shouma silently rubbed Ryan's palm, looking very intimate.

Ryan smiled faintly, turned over, waved the reins, and rode away.

In the mansion, the two little girls were silent for a while as the sound of horse hooves gradually faded away.

After a while, Ninelli whispered again: "Let's go practice in the yard?"

Yvette: "...Okay."

? ? ? ?

There is only one road from Yate City to the Imperial Capital. Because it connects the two most prosperous cities with frequent caravan exchanges, there are many bandits. The Imperial Capital has sent knights many times to encircle and suppress the bandits, but with little success.

Over time, the caravans traveling back and forth would also spend a lot of money to hire adventurers and mercenaries to protect the caravans, making it rare for bandits to succeed.

But as a result, the villages on this section of the road will suffer.

Along the way, Ryan saw many deserted villages. Apparently the villagers here could not stand the day and night intrusion of the bandits, so they had to abandon the villages and leave their homes.

The only lively village I saw happened to be being ravaged by bandits.

Looking from a distance, I saw several bandits rummaging through boxes and cabinets in the village, robbing money and food. All the villagers gave way, trembling, and dared not speak out in anger.

There were also several bandits dragging a woman into the house with lewd smiles on their faces. The woman was allowed to cry and no one came forward to help.

Seeing this scene, Ryan couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

What is the meaning of guarding the border these past few years?

No matter how hard he fought against foreign enemies, the defenses of the Hedley Empire were impregnable, but the internal problems of the Hedley Empire still existed for a long time, and they could not be solved at all...or in other words, no one wanted to solve them.

Rushing into the village on horseback, Ryan swung his sword and easily killed all the bandits. The bandits didn't even have time to show their frightened expressions.

After killing the bandits, Ryan hung the scabbarded sword back on his waist, and then turned to look at the trembling villagers silently.

Although the villagers were shaking like chaff, they could still tell the difference between good and evil. They knelt down and worshiped Ryan one after another. They seemed to want to say something to thank Ryan, but they hesitated for a long time and couldn't say a word. It was obvious that they had just been scared by the bandits. broken.

Ryan shook his head and sighed, without saying much, he rode away.

As a result, not long after walking, Ryan was blocked by thirty or fifty bandits.

The bandit leader saw Ryan riding a horse alone, wearing a deacon's uniform without the family logo, and thought he was some kind of ranger. He was about to squeeze this soft persimmon and say a few trash words, but suddenly he felt the soles of his feet were hot.

When he lowered his head, he saw that a huge magic circle had appeared under his feet at some point, and he and his men were all included within the range.

Seeing this, the bandit leader stiffly raised his head, just in time to see Ryan's half-smiling expression.

Bandit leader: "Aminos..."

"boom!!"

The imperial capital, at the city gate.

The two soldiers guarding the city suddenly raised their heads as they sensed something.

I saw a huge pillar of fire rising into the sky in the distance...
