Chapter 450: The messenger arrives and returns to Farrow City

The ominous aura of the dagger made Ryan's heart alarmed. He quickly dodged and swung his sword at the dagger.

"clang--"

The black sword slashed the handle of the dagger, causing the dagger to shift slightly, but it still rotated and left a small scratch on Ryan's arm.

Then, the dagger entered the black hole again and disappeared.

"Hehehe... My goal has been achieved. Goodbye, Lord Black Knight..."

Looking at "Dorothy" again, Ryan found that she had been wrapped in evil spirit and was disappearing bit by bit, with a smiling expression on her face.

Normally, Dorothy's smile was quite pleasing, but when it appeared on the face of this fake Dorothy, Ryan felt disgusted no matter how he looked at it.

He swung the black sword and slashed it horizontally, but it seemed to go through the air.

Phantom?

Watching the fake Dorothy disappear bit by bit, the knight next to him stepped forward and asked: "Grand Duke Ryan, what was that just now?"

"A spy from the demon clan, deliberately pretending to be someone I know, so you guys should be careful."

After asking several knights to return to their respective positions, Ryan suddenly remembered something. He quickly raised his arm and carefully observed the wound left by the dagger.

The wound was very shallow, only a little blood came out, and it has begun to scab over.

After looking at the wound over and over for a long time, Ryan still couldn't figure out what was going on.

Thinking of the demonic aura that had made Ryan extremely nervous just now, Ryan did not underestimate it. He immediately turned back and went to find Alice.

When Ryan returned to the cabin where Alice was resting, he saw Octavia practicing sword outside the cabin. It seemed that she had been instructed by Alice.

"Is Alice still in the house?"

Hearing this, Octavia put away his greatsword and said, "Yes, what's wrong?"

"I have something to ask her, so come with me."

"Ok."

When I walked into the house, Alice was lying on the bed, flipping through a book that she got from somewhere.

Coming to Alice, Ryan showed her the wound: "Alice, look at this."

"Ok?"

Alice put the book down and looked at Ryan's wound.

After a moment, Alice placed her little hand on the wound, and the emerald green light flashed, and the wound healed.

"It's cured."

Alice lay back on the bed and said lazily, "You can heal this minor injury by yourself. Why bother coming to me? Do you want to act like a spoiled child to me?"

Ryan: "...No, this wound was left on me by a demon just now."

After recounting what had just happened, Alice sat up from the bed unconsciously: "An unprecedentedly powerful demon aura?"

As she spoke, Alice looked at Octavia who was also thinking.

"Based on the description of the sword stand, it should be the Demon King."

Octavia murmured softly, "I didn't expect her to do it herself..."

Alice raised her eyebrows. "Oh? From what you said, it seems like you know something about this?"

"Ah."

Octavia nodded: “Last time I came back from the Demon King’s Castle, the Demon King gave me a task, which was to injure the sword rack with a short knife.

Just as the sword rack described, the dagger that the Demon King gave me is an ominous dagger that flashes with a faint purple light."

"Have you brought the dagger? Let me see it."

Alice spoke up. She really couldn't see anything on Ryan's wound.

Octavia shook her head: "The dagger is still in Art City. I didn't take it with me."

After all, the moment Octavia made up her mind to rush to rescue Ryan, she had already decided not to touch the dagger that might hurt Ryan.

Ryan looked at his healed arm for a long time and said with a headache: "She went to so much trouble to leave me this wound. Could it be that she just wanted to disgust me?"

After hearing what Ryan said, the two women suddenly fell silent.

"Given the character of that demon king..." Alice began slowly.

Octavia added: "That's possible."

Ryan: "?"

No way? Is that devil really that unreliable?

"Compared to this, there is another thing worth paying attention to now."

Alice looked at Octavier and said, "Vir, she disguised herself as Dorothy and got in here. Maybe she was sending you a message. She might know everything you did."

Whether it is helping Ryan or killing the two demon generals.

"I see."

Octavia's expression was very calm: "But since I have already made this choice, I have already prepared myself mentally. Let her do it."

"Good boy~"

Alice narrowed her eyes in satisfaction: "If Ryan bullies you in the future, just tell me and I will take care of him."

Ryan: “???”

No, this is a betrayal.

Also, what's with this déjà vu look of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law?

"Lord!"

At this time, Yazhi ran into the house and said to Ryan: "His Highness Kyle's messenger has come and said that Faro City has been reoccupied by them. Lord Hulun wants you to discuss it."

"Kyle's messenger is here?"

Ryan stood up: "I'll go now."

When he arrived at the place where Hu Lun was receiving the messenger, Ryan saw from afar a man covered in mud, sneezing and having a runny nose while wrapped in a quilt.

"Master... Master Ryan! Achoo!"

The messenger knew Ryan. When he saw Ryan, he stood up and sneezed violently.

Ryan took two steps back to keep his distance from the messenger: "What's wrong with you?"

"me……"

The messenger almost cried: "Your Highness sent me to deliver a letter, but I was blocked by a monster after running a few steps. I tried to get rid of the monster while running towards Vahlan, but the horse couldn't hold on and died of exhaustion when I was almost there.

I had no choice but to run over here, and I saw from afar that Vahlan was being attacked by monsters. I couldn't enter the city, so I had to hide. Then, not long after I hid, a cold current came from nowhere and almost froze me into an ice cube!"

"Uh……"

Ryan's cheek twitched. He didn't expect that Alice's magic would affect the messenger. Fortunately, the messenger was at the edge and was not affected.

"Grand Duke Ryan."

Hu Lun then said, "Now that Faro City has been recaptured by His Royal Highness the Great Prince, should we change our route and return to Faro City?"

“Of course I will return.”

Ryan said without hesitation: "If I'm not mistaken, Kyle is probably leading a troop towards us. We should return immediately and try to join up with Kyle's team."

"Yes!"
