Chapter 315 Siren (Two Chapters in One)
"Okay, Mr. Ryan." Olena nodded and said.
At this time, Ryan was thinking about two things.
The first thing was whether he would take Anna with him when he went to the Blood Curse Naga Cave?
For the Sam Group from the imperial capital, there was no big scruple to take action in the city of Munster. This can be seen from the attitude of the original 'Blood Peak Mercenary Group'.
As a mercenary group from the imperial capital, they inherently have a sense of superiority. Even if they lose the battle, they will think that they are just capsizing in the gutter.
Therefore, once he leaves Munster, the other party will most likely kidnap Anna directly.
This is naturally unacceptable to him.
In this case, he decided to take the initiative to attack and eliminate the hidden danger in the bud.
As for the Duke of Drum who came to the door afterwards, he also found a suitable excuse.
'Sam Group sent people to follow Anna, and he came to the door to ask for an explanation. As a result, Sam Group took the initiative to attack him, and then he eliminated Sam Group. '
This is the explanation that Ryan thought of.
As for whether Duke Drum believed it or not, that was another matter.
As for the second thing, let's talk about it after the first thing is done.
"By the way, Lord Olena, please help our team arrange the earliest Imperial military airship to Meister this afternoon." Ryan looked up and said to Olena.
"Lord Ryan, why not choose the morning?" Olena was a little puzzled.
"In the morning, I have a little thing to deal with." Ryan smiled and said.
Fifteen minutes later.
Munster Auction House.
Viscount Fabien was leisurely in his office, leaning on a large armchair, sipping Yoton black tea, with an extremely comfortable expression.
Since the two days ago, after transferring the conflict between Sam and Ryan, the two big men, and letting them solve it themselves, Fabien instantly felt much more relaxed.
At the same time, he was also quite proud of his own intelligence.
For this reason, he also thought of a sentence to evaluate himself, that is, 'Big men come and go, but Fabien is always strong. ’
No matter how the equity of the Axon Auction House changes or how the struggle is, as an old man of the Munster branch, he can still stay in office and live comfortably in the cracks.
This is the ability!
“Knock, knock, knock!” There was a knock on the door.
“Come in!” Fabien said casually.
“Puff~”
After Fabien saw who the person who came in was, the Yoton black tea in his mouth suddenly sprayed out, splashing all over his body, and the table was also covered with tea at this moment, which was quite embarrassing.
But he didn’t have time to wipe it, but immediately got up in a hurry and shouted respectfully:
“Ryan. Lord Ryan, why are you here?”
Although he is also a viscount and Ryan is also a viscount, there is a difference between viscounts and viscounts.
He was able to become a viscount because he relied on family relationships and tried his best to reach the edge of the viscount.
But Ryan is different.
Viscount, that is just a small node on the other party’s way to promotion.
If Fabien couldn't figure it out, he would have wasted his time.
"Sir Fabien, excuse me, I want to ask you something." Ryan smiled and got straight to the point.
"Please go ahead, Sir Ryan, please take a seat." Fabien nodded quickly and said.
"I want to ask, where is Sir Sam staying now? I want to visit him."
"This. That"
Fabien wiped the sweat from his forehead, his eyes wandering.
Although Ryan's tone was quite calm, he knew that Ryan was likely to go and cause trouble for the other party himself.
It sounds good to say, "visit", but I'm afraid that a fight might break out after a few words.
The key is that he doesn't want to get involved in this matter!
If he leads Ryan, then if Sam's group causes trouble for him later, he will have to bear the consequences, but if he doesn't say it.
It seems that the problem is more serious!
It is very likely that he will have to bear the consequences now.
The choice is very simple.
"It seems that Lord Fabien doesn't want to help me."
"No, Lord Ryan, of course I am willing. They are staying in a guest house not far from here. I will take you there now." Fabien said hurriedly.
"Very good." Ryan nodded with satisfaction.
He planned to get rid of the Sam group before going to Meister.
Soon, Ryan and Fabien arrived at the guest house.
"What? Left yesterday and never came back?" Fabien said in surprise after hearing the servant's answer.
"Lord Ryan, I'm really sorry. They don't need to tell me about their actions. I really didn't know they left yesterday."
Ryan first looked at Fabien's expression. It didn't seem to be false, and he was a little disappointed.
In this case, he must take Anna with him.
As for his family, Ryan was not very worried.
After all, the other party's target was very clear, it was Anna, not him.
The other party also belongs to the Axon Auction House. Although they are the power of the head office, they will not attack the family of this shareholder for no reason.
Because once they attack, it will only anger him, and the Duke of Durham behind the Sam Group will not be able to protect them.
Therefore, as long as the Sam Group is not stupid, they will not do that.
"Sir Fabien, once Sir Sam returns, please notify me immediately, thank you."
"Of course, of course."
After leaving, Ryan did not go to the new mansion, but walked to the Sword Bearer Branch.
Before leaving, he had to do the second thing, go to the exchange hall, and exchange the ninth and last extraordinary combat skill that needed to be mastered-'Roquedilo's Guardian Cane'.
An extremely rare extraordinary combat skill about the cane.
The inventor of this extraordinary combat skill, Roquedilo, is actually a high-level wizard, but he also practices the knight's path. Since the other party is not a metal wizard, the weapon he carries with him is usually a cane of about 1.5 meters.
So, he gradually explored and perfected such a set of extraordinary combat skills with a cane as a weapon.
To perform this combat skill, one condition is required, that is, to have a sufficiently strong cane.
And Roquedilo's weapon is the famous iron cane.
Except for the top of the cane, which is not covered with iron sheet in consideration of the need to communicate the mysterious energy, most of the cane body is covered with thick metal, which can be used to block and parry some close-range attacks, which is very convenient and easy to use.
This is also what Ryan learned from a chat with Neoro when he was thinking and looking for his last secret for a few days. There are extraordinary combat skills such as canes.
Although it seems a bit useless to him.
But Ryan thinks that he is also a wizard. If he holds a cane in his hand, it can have a good confusing effect on the enemy.
Half an hour later, Ryan returned to the mansion with a parchment scroll in his hand.
After letting Vieri inform him about the mission to Munster in the afternoon, Ryan found Anna.
"Anna, you may need to prepare and go to Meister with me to perform the mission. After all, if you stay here, the other party may come to your door." Ryan said.
"Ah? Great!" Anna clenched her fists and waved them excitedly, and continued to ask: "When do we leave?"
Seeing Anna's excited expression, Ryan was stunned and swallowed back what he was about to say.
Originally, he thought it would take a lot of effort to convince Anna.
"We'll leave in the afternoon. There will probably be a fight, so you have to prepare a little."
"Okay." Anna nodded heavily.
In the evening.
The airship docking point in Meister Fishing Port.
After Ryan and his party got off the airship, they hurried all the way from the fishing port town to the cave where they encountered the ancient blood curse naga.
At this time, in addition to an elite team belonging to the army, there was also a regular member of the Rock Team stationed here.
Because of the weakened strength, Captain Batista arranged it here as a contact person and responsible for vigilance.
When he saw Ryan and his group coming, he immediately stepped forward and said anxiously: "Lord Ryan, you are finally here!"
Ryan quickly looked at the other person and saw that he looked tired. Obviously, during the 24 hours when the Rock Team lost contact, the other person had not slept for a moment and was in a highly tense state.
"Don't worry, tell us what you know, so that we can better rescue the Rock Team." Angus had performed many missions in the military and was experienced. He stepped forward and patted the other person on the shoulder and comforted him.
"Well, thank you!" The other person looked at Angus gratefully, then turned to Ryan and said:
"About thirty hours ago, Captain Batistan took Remier and two other team members into the cave. According to the agreement, there will be a call every two hours, but until now, there has been no call or news."
"So, they must have had an accident!" The other person introduced quickly.
Has it been so long since they lost contact?
Ryan thought for a moment and said, "You guys stay here, I'll go in and take a look."
"Captain, let me go with you." Neoro took the initiative to say.
Ryan was stunned.
He didn't expect that Neoro, the son of the Marquis, would be the first to jump out and say that he wanted to go down with him.
"Aren't you afraid?" Ryan asked with a hint of curiosity.
Neoro smiled calmly and said, "It's because I'm afraid that I have to go."
"Yes, Captain, we know that we are far inferior to you in strength, but we can't live under your wings forever."
"When we were in the military, we often had casualties when we went out on missions." Angus and Vieri said one after another.
"Captain, although I know you are worried about the danger inside, we are a small team. Moreover, we can only grow through hardships." Evelyn also echoed.
"And, I believe in the captain, as long as the enemy is not a legendary strongman, then other enemies are not enough in front of the captain." Evelyn chuckled.
"Ryan, I want to go with you too." Hearing Ryan's teammates saying this, Anna also showed eagerness.
"Okay, let's go together." Ryan smiled and nodded.
Inside the forbidden door.
Inside was a deep and empty cave, and along the way were piled up various large marine creatures' skeletons, some of which were more than ten meters high and forty or fifty meters long.
There are skeletons similar to giant whales, and some smaller ones, such as the skeleton of a deep-sea plesiosaur. Of course, there are also smaller ones, such as the remains of several-meter-long ferocious beasts such as horned turtles.
In the deepest part of the cave, there are seven or eight broken purple eggshells, most of which have disappeared, and there is nothing inside.
These were once the eggs of the three-headed sea dragon with a magic tail.
Under the huge skeleton on the side, there is a complicated formation, which is flashing a light green light that flickers.
If you look carefully, you can see that there is an egg on the inside of the bottom of the skeleton. Most of it is buried under the ground, with only a small part exposed.
Moreover, even this small part is blocked by the skeleton.
Next to the huge skeleton, two people are talking about something.
Among them, the taller one is a male blood curse naga with a two-meter-long sharp-tailed conch on his left hand. He is over three meters tall and extremely tall and strong.
He was respectfully saying to the six-armed female Naga beside him:
"Your Excellency the High Priest, your plan is really very effective. Using the Siren's song, this is now the second batch of elite human combat teams captured."
"Each of these people is a great knight, and one of them is the peak great knight who escaped last time."
"In addition, there is a formal wizard. Using their blood and flesh essence to awaken the eggs of the Demon Tail Sea Dragon should be the best effect." The Tide Piercer Rulgatz said with a smile.
However, he lost one of his left eyes, and his smile at this moment became even uglier.
"Rulgatz, you've worked hard! Although there are still some sacrifices missing, they should be gathered soon." The High Priest smiled and nodded.
"But, this time, you need to be careful. Humans are not stupid. When elite teams disappear one after another, they will definitely find something wrong."
"So, even if the enemy coming this time is not the level of the dragon knight, it must be a more difficult enemy."
"Don't worry, high priest, as long as the other party is not a dragon knight. I think, with your help, we will definitely win." Rulgatz's ugly dragon face laughed again.
"Yeah!" The high priest nodded with satisfaction.
At the same time, she looked at the broken sea dragon eggs not far away and couldn't help showing pity.
Due to the long-term ban, in order to keep the eggs active, these eggs were once cast into a sleeping spell by the three-headed sea dragon and fell asleep with it.
Until the forbidden door was opened, the dragon knight Menia suddenly appeared, causing these eggs to be completely destroyed by the shock wave in that battle.
But when a blood-cursed Naga scout returned by chance, he found a complete sea dragon egg in a hidden place inside the white bone remains nearby.
She was naturally overjoyed when she got the news!
She did not inform the Poseidon Cult about this news.
Because for her, once she could contract a three-headed sea dragon cub with a magic tail, her strength would be able to cross that natural barrier and reach a very high level.
However, there were many problems that needed to be solved in the middle.
This sea dragon egg, due to long-term contact with the huge skeleton, almost merged with the huge bone remains.
It was because of this that the sea dragon egg was not discovered, but at the same time it also caused a problem.
That is, this sea dragon egg is almost impossible to move. If it is moved, it may cause damage to the sea dragon egg at any time, making her plan bankrupt.
Just when she was racking her brains to solve this problem, good news came from the Poseidon Cult.
It was said that the human dragon knight had left the area, and they had received reliable news that the dragon knight would not return again in a short time.
In addition, the Poseidon Cult also hoped that the Blood Curse Naga Clan could secretly go to the human coast again and set up a base to facilitate their subsequent counterattack.
The two pieces of news came one after another, which was simply a godsend.
However, when they arrived at the forbidden gate, they encountered a second problem.
——
At the same time.
Not long after Ryan and his party went deep into the cave, they saw traces of the battle when he left last time.
There were still a lot of scattered rubble on both sides of the passage, but the passage had obviously been cleaned and reinforced twice, otherwise it would be completely impassable.
Because Ryan remembered very clearly that at that time, he basically collapsed most of the passage, which blocked the pursuit of the "Tide Piercer" Rulgats.
"This way." Ryan walked in front, and next to him was the greyhound war dog "Cookie".
"Captain, you seem to be very familiar with this place." Neoro couldn't help but be curious.
"Well, I came here last time and fought a big battle with the ancient blood curse naga." Ryan walked and talked about the situation at that time.
Soon, everyone arrived at the underground hall where Ryan killed the leader of the blood curse naga last time.
The hall still maintained the style that Ryan had seen before. The walls were made up of pale blue strips of stone, and in the center of the hall, there were two rows of Doric columns.
At this time, a strange singing voice slowly sounded from all around.
Because there are three passages here, after the sound is transmitted here, the sound waves will be reflected in various ways, so it sounds like surround sound, and it is difficult to determine the original position of the sound.
"Why is there someone singing here?" Anna asked in surprise.
Everyone looked up and looked around, looking for the source of the sound.
"There's something strange, everyone be careful." Ryan said in a deep voice.
Ryan felt something was wrong, and the song made him feel a little uncomfortable.
At this time, the sound became louder and louder.
Soon, Ryan suddenly found that his eyes were blurred, and then he could no longer see the team members and Anna.
Hmm?
Illusion?
Hallucination caused by sound waves?
Immediately, Ryan thought of a way.
He quickly closed his eyes and explored the surroundings with super high perception.
At this time, he found that Anna's familiar breath was not far from him, but it was leaving quickly in the opposite direction of him.
In an instant, Ryan understood the enemy's plan.
The other party planned to use this hallucinogenic song to dismantle his entire team.
Once successful, it would be easy and pleasant to deal with everyone.
No wonder the previous gold-level team 'Rock Team' was hit.
Let's not talk about how strong the enemy is. This tactic alone can easily defeat them one by one.
Without caring about other people, Ryan rushed towards Anna's breath.
Just when his big hand was about to touch Anna, Anna let out a terrifying cry, and then immediately transformed into a big-horned deer and charged towards Ryan.
This made Ryan stunned, but he soon understood what was going on.
This song is not simple, it can even make people misjudge the enemy!
After Ryan's big hand pressed down Anna's huge deer antlers, he immediately shouted:
"Anna, it's me!"
But the big-horned deer under Ryan's command was still struggling violently.
Because in Anna's senses at this moment, she was grabbed by a huge demon's antlers, and laughed at her, 'Come on, little cutie, come to my arms, little cutie. '
This made Anna panic and struggle with all her strength.
Seeing Anna like this, Ryan couldn't help shaking his head.
It seems that this is the only way!
"Roar!"
Ryan's neck suddenly bulged and his mouth opened wide. The next second, a huge white sound wave was released from his mouth.
Suddenly, waves of circular air waves hit the surroundings.
Anna only felt a sharp pain like a tear in her eardrum, and then her eyes suddenly blurred. In front of her, the one with her huge antlers was Ryan.
This made Anna a little confused.
"You you."
She didn't know whether it was true now or just now.
Ryan smiled and quickly thought of something, saying, "That day, we were in the beech forest of the mansion, and I held you."
"Ah!"
Anna immediately performed the Transfiguration Spell and restored her human form again, and her pretty face suddenly turned red. She covered her face with her hands and said, "Don't say it, I know you are the real Ryan!"
Ryan nodded and said, "This sound wave is weird, and it seems to have a strong illusion effect."
He looked around and found that the other four people had quickly left in other directions at this moment. Everyone was waving their hands and feet in various ways as if they had met a ghost.
For example, Neoro cast several scrolls in succession towards a wall in the hall and fiercely cast witchcraft attacks.
After Ryan's voice interrupted the strange singing for a while, the singing began to appear faintly again.
"Hey, what is this sound?" Not far away, the huge body of the 'Tide Piercer' Rulgatz, who was about to launch an attack, suddenly froze.
Such a familiar voice
Soon, he realized that it was the owner of this voice who blinded one of his eyes!
"It's that guy! Human, you dare to come back!"
"This time, I will never let you slip away again!" A low voice full of anger sounded from Rulgatz's throat.
He shook his huge snake tail, accelerated his speed, and sped towards the direction where Ryan was.
