Chapter 314 News (Two Chapters in One)

In response to the beautiful woman's teasing, Renn smiled and did not answer. Instead, he asked: "How much do you know about Duke Drum, Jennifer?"

Hearing Ren's question, the beautiful woman shook her head and said:

"I have just taken over the Munster branch, and I am not familiar with some situations yet."

"What's more, although the Duke of Drum is a major shareholder, he has been in the imperial capital all year round and never seems to have appeared at the shareholders' meeting of the Münster branch. Here, he only sent a spokesperson named Sam, That’s the leader of Sam’s group.”

"I met him during a meeting today. He seems to be a very powerful second-level wizard."

Wizard?

Ren nodded.

"Send someone to investigate this Sam group in the next two days."

"Well, do you need to take the initiative to communicate with them?" The beautiful woman thought for a while and suggested.

Ren shook his head and said: "No need, I don't have time to talk to them now."

"Besides, they should be the ones looking for me in this matter, not the other way around."

In the evening, a sumptuous dinner was held at Rennes' new mansion to welcome Anna's return.

The beautiful woman Jennifer took the initiative to sit on the other side of Anna. She frequently introduced delicious food to Anna and kept talking about Ren's glorious deeds. She was full of praise.

This made Jenny on the side stunned!

She couldn't understand her mother's mysterious operations!

Or push your lover out?

Although in the Dragon Empire, it is very common for nobles to have lovers.

She had already expected this. Even if her mother was with Ren, it was normal for Ren to have several lovers outside.

But the problem is, my mother's posture looks like... How should I put it?

It felt like he was pushing Ren to Anna impatiently.

This scene also made Agatha next to her look confused. After a while, she gently elbowed her best friend and said:

"Hey, Jenny, did you have a quarrel with your mother? She has such a big daughter and she doesn't try to match them up, but she actually matches up Lord Ren with this new girl?"

Jenny also looked confused and didn't know how to answer her best friend's question. She shook her head and said:

"I don't know either, but I didn't quarrel with my mother."

In addition, she mentally corrected what her best friend said, 'This girl is not new here. She has known Ren for a longer time than her mother.'

The beautiful woman's great enthusiasm for Anna also made Anna feel a little overwhelmed.

She didn't quite understand why this elegant and beautiful lady favored her so much.

On the side, Ren's mother Emma was smiling from ear to ear!

Originally, with her natural female sensitivity, she was vaguely aware that the relationship between the beautiful Baroness Crowley and her son seemed to be unusual.

Because the way the other person looks at his son is sometimes so gentle that it almost makes him cry.

As someone who has experienced this, Emma naturally knows what that means.

Although the beautiful Baroness Crawley is very capable and quite beautiful, the problem is that she is too old and she is still a widow.

Although she is a noble lady, a widow is a widow, right?

However, seeing the scene where the beautiful woman was so enthusiastic about connecting Ren and Anna today completely dispelled Emma's worries.

It seems that she was a little too sensitive before. Baroness Crawley should admire her son more, which is normal.

After all, women all want to be strong.

In fact, for the beautiful woman Jennifer, the reason for doing this is not that complicated at all.

Last time, she really wanted Ren to find a noble lady with extraordinary power. The reason was that as an ordinary person, she really couldn't stand it.

Although the noble lady is not waiting for her now, what she is waiting for is a rare elf girl.

But as long as we can share the ‘fire’, that’s fine!

But the problem is, she asked Ren En's thoughts in a sideways manner, but she actually let nature take its course. This naturally made her more anxious than Ren En, so she made various arrangements at the welcome banquet to create opportunities for Anna and Ren En to be alone. .

After dinner, thanks to Jennifer's efforts.

Anna and Ren finally got a rare moment of alone time.

"Wow! Has the cookie gotten this big?"

You must know that when Anna left, Cookie was still a little puppy, but now, he is tall and powerful, and his size is even bigger, comparable to a pony.

"Ren, what did you feed Cookie? Huh, that's not right. Cookie turned into a ferocious beast?"

"How is this possible?" Anna, who had just bent down, her beautiful eyes widened. After she touched Cookie's head, she immediately discovered something.

As a formal druid, his perception of animals and plants is far beyond that of ordinary people.

"Woof woof!"

But the little hand that felt soft and warm actually stopped and stopped stroking its head. Cookie barked twice in dissatisfaction, saying "I want more".

"This guy" Ren couldn't help but smiled and shook his head.

Anna chuckled and continued to rub Cookie's head, while Cookie was so comfortable that her eyes narrowed.

It remembered the smell of the hostess very clearly, but it seemed to have gotten better, giving it a sense of intimacy, which made Cookie couldn't help but rub Anna's trouser legs to show intimacy.

Seeing this scene, Renn couldn't help but feel envious.

Although he is a beast priest, he is not as good at beast affinity as Anna, who is a druid.

The two of them are on two completely different paths to control beasts.

"Remember the diary where we found the basic meditation method? It records a mutant growth potion. After I prepared it, I used it on Cookie. Now it seems that the effect is very good."

"By the way, Anna, I also used this potion on horses. I will take you to see Xiao Hei. I think you should like it very much." Ryan said with a smile.

Facing Anna, Ryan felt a special sense of tranquility in his heart.

"Okay. Xiao Hei? Is it the name of a black horse?" Anna couldn't help but chuckled.

The two talked and chatted, and soon they came to the stable in the backyard.

Seeing the tall body of the trotting wildebeest and the protruding horn on its forehead, Anna's beautiful eyes lit up, and she was quite interested. She walked forward quickly and said, "This is not Xiao Hei, it's obviously Da Hei."

Just when Ryan was about to remind Anna that the trotting wildebeest had a bad temper, Anna just stretched out her white little hand, and Xiao Hei took the initiative to stick his head out of the stable fence and let Anna touch it.

This surprised Ryan.

But after a little thought, Ryan understood that this should be the effect of being a druid, which is similar to natural affinity.

"By the way, Anna, you said last time that you came here for another important thing this time?" Ryan suddenly thought of something and turned his head to ask.

"Yeah." Anna nodded.

Speaking of this topic, Anna's smile disappeared, and she slowly put down the arm that was stroking Xiao Hei, frowning slightly, as if she was thinking about what to say.

After a long while, Anna finally spoke: "I saw a secret letter in Aunt Delanna's study."

"It said that my mother's disappearance may be related to the Axon Auction House."

"Huh? Axon Auction House? Is the news true?" Ryan raised his eyebrows, quite surprised.

He didn't expect that not only was Anna's case related to the Axon Auction House, but even her mother's disappearance was related to the Axon Auction House.

"It seems to be news from the elves' special channels. I don't know the details, but it should be true." Anna nodded and continued: "Ryan, do you know about the Axon Auction House?"

"Well, it's a behemoth. In the entire empire, as long as it is a slightly larger city, there are their branches or stations." Ryan nodded and said.

"Does that mean that I can't do it alone." Anna's beautiful eyes couldn't help but darken.

"Not really, first of all, you are not alone." Ryan looked at Anna and said seriously.

This made Anna blush.

"Secondly, although the Axon Auction House is a huge company with complex forces, it is divided into multiple interest groups according to shareholders."

"So, as long as we find out which shareholder is involved in this matter, it will be much easier to deal with it later."

"."

Ryan immediately told Anna what he knew about the Axon Auction House.

"Ah? So, Ryan, you are also a shareholder of the Axon Auction House now?" Anna blinked her beautiful eyes and looked at Ryan in shock.

Anna didn't expect that Ryan would become a shareholder of the Axon Auction House, although he was only a shareholder of the Munster branch.

"Isn't this a good thing? You can think of me as an undercover sent by you to the Axon Auction House." Ryan smiled and said.

"However, it may take some time to investigate your mother's matter." Ryan smiled and said seriously.

Because Jennifer has just become a shareholder of the Munster branch, it takes some time to cultivate personnel and forces.

Moreover, Ryan guessed that if Anna's mother's disappearance was really related to the Yaxon Auction House, then she was most likely sent to the imperial capital.

Therefore, it would take even longer to investigate this matter.

"Well, my mother has been missing for more than two years. I was very anxious for a while before, but now, I just hope she can be safe."

"Of course, it would be better if we could find out where she is."

Anna nodded, and her emotions did not fluctuate much.

"Don't worry! If it is really related to the Yaxon Auction House, then your mother will not be in danger of life."

This is not just for Ryan to comfort Anna.

But if this matter is really related to the Yaxon Auction House, Ryan believes that it is likely that it is done by various slave-hunting teams or similar teams under its command.

The other party will definitely capture Anna's mother, a rare pure-blooded elf woman, and sell her for a good price.

And those who can afford this price must be the rich businessmen or nobles of the empire.

In other words, although Anna's mother has lost her freedom, she is unlikely to be in danger of life.

At this time, the two of them were walking and had slowly walked to a corner of the backyard of the new mansion.

The original owner had planted seven or eight beech trees here, which grew quite tall and lush.

The moonlight fell from the mottled shadows of the trees, illuminating the outline of Anna's delicate body.

Anna at this time was no longer as thin as when Lei first met her, but had a curvy female curve.

Although she was not as plump and delicate as the beautiful woman Jennifer, she was just right.

The girl's face still had the slight shyness she had when she was alone with Ryan.

But at this moment, she heard Ryan's words of comfort, and she said "hmm", then raised her head, looked at her face seriously with her big eyes, and said:

"Ryan, thank you."

Ryan smiled slightly, and was about to say something, when suddenly, he felt a fresh breeze approaching.

And Anna, like a butterfly, approached lightly, and stood on tiptoe, kissed Ryan's cheek quickly with her soft and warm lips.

Then, like a panicked deer, she quickly jumped away, lowered her head, and said:

"Then I'll go back first."

As Anna said this, she shyly left immediately without waiting for Ryan's answer.

But who would have thought that as soon as she turned around, a strong big hand would hold her slender waist.

With an irresistible force coming, Anna's light body was immediately pulled back, and then, she was pressed by a strong and hot chest.

Suddenly, Anna was in a panic, raising and lowering her hands, at a loss

And the next second, she could only make a "woohoo" sound.

Her cherry mouth was covered.

Anna had no idea how much time had passed, she just felt like she was floating in the clouds, until she was a little out of breath, she got the right to breathe fresh air.

At this moment, her pretty face was flushed, as if she was drunk, and the whole person was dizzy.

——

Two consecutive days passed.

Ryan, who was practicing the "Longiro's Spear" in the training room, still did not wait for the formal negotiation of the "Sam Group".

Instead, many people approached the beautiful woman to make connections, meaning whether Dixon could be released.

The beautiful woman stated that she could make the decision on business matters, but for such matters, it would be more appropriate for you to go to Mr. Ryan to communicate directly.

Now, she no longer needs to compromise.

As one of the shareholders of the Munster branch, she has Ryan standing behind her, which is also her confidence.

In addition, from the latest intelligence of the sword bearers, Ryan found that the turbulence in the province is intensifying.

Almost every day, small towns and county towns are attacked by cults or behemoths, and there are many casualties.

More news, there is only one casualty report, and as for the attackers, they are all "unknown" and "unknown".

The first time to know these confidential information is also due to some changes brought about by Ryan's promotion to the diamond-level sword bearer.

In terms of identity, the diamond-level sword bearer is no longer just a combatant, or a combat captain.

In terms of importance, any diamond-level sword bearer captain is the backbone of a sword bearer branch, and to some extent, also participates in decision-making.

For example, this time, Admiral Edward will seek Ryan's opinion.

Obviously, the branch will also listen to the opinions of several other diamond-level sword bearer captains.

From another perspective, the diamond star level represents the contribution that Ryan has made to the empire. If he chooses to go to the Duke of Munster, that is, to be transferred to the administrative system of the empire, the corresponding position will definitely not be low.

If he is the governor in charge of a county city, like Count Habsburg, the information may be a little shallow.

But it is absolutely no problem to serve as the deputy chief of public security in the provincial capital of Munster.

Even if he goes to the Griffin Guard, he will at least be a captain. If there are vacancies above, he may be in a higher position.

For these changes, Ryan is very clear that the most fundamental reason is that his own strength is growing stronger.

Otherwise, let alone whether he can continue to be promoted smoothly in the next step, he may fall in a dangerous mission.

Therefore, in the past few days, he has not spent too much time accompanying Anna, nor has he gone out to attend the banquet invitations that have been sent like snowflakes, but has remained at home.

Most of Ryan's time is spent in the training room. He is improving the extraordinary lance combat skill "Lance of Longilo" as soon as possible.

After two days, he has reached level 8 (122/7000), and is only one step away from level 9.

At the same time, he is also urging other members of the team to strengthen their combat effectiveness.

In the study of Ryan's new mansion.

"Knock, knock!" There was a knock on the door.

"Come in!"

It was Olena, a capable young woman, who came in.

"Sir Ryan, the mission is here. However, this is the latest information compiled today. I think you can take a look first." Olena's face was serious, and she took out a document and handed it to Ryan.

Because the situation in the empire changed suddenly, the Sword Bearer Munster Branch also kept pace with the times and established a temporary coordination agency. The main purpose was naturally to complete the two tasks assigned by the empire.

Specifically, it is to let multiple deputy ministers of affairs in each department be responsible for contacting a diamond-level sword bearer captain one-on-one to improve communication efficiency.

So Olena, who is most familiar with Ryan, continued to serve as the deputy minister of affairs in the mission hall, and was also responsible for communication and coordination with Ryan part-time.

Ryan took the material and read it carefully.

The intelligence from the Sword Bearer is mainly divided into two parts. One part is about some cult activities in the two counties of Mayest and Rosby.

What caught his attention was a message that said, "A suspected member of the Secret Snake Cult appeared again in Mayest County."

See this message

Ren's gaze paused for a moment.

After thinking about it, Renn thought that the other party was probably looking for the legendary farming snake.

Because the message showed that after the other party appeared, he quickly hid, as if he was looking for something.

Of course, it is not ruled out that after they find the earth snake, they will launch revenge or attack.

Renn was quite impressed with the fighting power of the Secret Snake Cult. Compared to the Black Flame Cult, the opponent paid more attention to physical training and had more secret skills related to this.

From a certain point of view, it is very similar to his situation of being a knight and a wizard, but the method is more bizarre.

"The people from the Secret Snake Religion showed up again?" Renn raised his head and confirmed.

"Yes, Sir Ren, and unlike last time, the members of the Secret Snake Cult who appeared this time are a small team. There are at least seven or eight people found so far." Olena nodded and said.

"Your Excellency Olena, please convey this news to Miss Claire in Mayist as soon as possible and ask her to be careful."

"Is she the one from the Habsburg family?" Olena was deeply impressed by the beautiful young lady who returned from the Imperial Academy.

"Yes."

"Okay, Sir Ren."

After dealing with one item, Ren quickly looked at the next item.

The next item is information about the original Blood Curse Naga underground cave on the coastline of Fishing Port Town.

"The silver-level sword-wielding team stationed there has disappeared? Then, the gold-level team sent to investigate - the Rock Team, has not received any news for a day?"

Seeing this, Ren frowned and looked thoughtful.

Sure enough, as Admiral Edward said, both Rossby County and Meister County are currently at war with the Sea Tribe, so the tasks involved will be more and more troublesome.

Ever since the Forbidden Gate was unsealed and Her Highness the 'Red Queen' Menia severely damaged the three-headed devil-tailed sea dragon, this area has been completely abandoned by the Sea Clan.

If something changes now, Renn feels that it is most likely the return of the Sea Tribe.

They must have noticed that His Highness Menia, the guardian of the empire, had left, so they planned to take action?

Renne saw Admiral Edward's note, which was also his mission this time.

"Is there any more information on the Blood Curse Naga Cave?"

"No. We have stopped sending teams now, because Team Rock is so strong that even they..." Olena shook her head and said.

Ren nodded.

The rest of the news is not that important or urgent.

For example, 'The Sea Clan's activity in Rosby County has further increased, and the Sea Giants have launched attacks more frequently. ’

Anything that won't cause too big a problem in a short period of time can be put away first.

The second part of the information is a summary of some important information about the entire Münster province.

When Ren turned to this part, his eyes suddenly froze.

A message immediately attracted his attention:

‘At the Longya Mountain Pass in the northern part of the province, a forbidden gate is suspected to have been discovered in the Adaqi mine. Currently, the diamond-level sword-wielding team ‘Black Sword’ in charge of the area has gone to investigate.’

Longya Mountain Pass.

After joining the Sword Holders, Ren gradually learned about some important mountain passes in the province.

He knew that the location of Longya Pass was extremely close to the adjacent Savoie Province to the north.

It's a very long way from Munster. You have to cross Howling Bastion and Breitsin Pass before you can reach Dragon's Tooth Pass.

"Has the news from Longya Pass been confirmed?"

"Not yet." Olena shook her head, looking worried when she heard Ren mention this.

Because if it is really a new and undiscovered forbidden door, it will be in big trouble.

"Well, if it's confirmed, remember to inform me as soon as possible." Renn nodded and said.
