Chapter 101 Return to the Manor

Ryan stood in an empty cave, and there was almost no sound around him. Only his breathing and the rhythm of his blood pulse echoed in the silence.

Ryan silently guided the blood in his body. He had spent two days using various means to accumulate a large amount of blood.

After replacing it with the [Element Energy Concentration Ring], he used the energy concentration effect to closely integrate it with the life energy. Only through extremely precise control and condensation can the final effect be achieved.

And this is exactly what Ryan is going to do-condense the blood into a blood core that is now four times the size, making it a more powerful source of power for him.

As time passed, Ryan's complexion gradually became relieved.

At first, the progress of blood condensation was very slow.

However, as the effect of the [Element Energy Concentration Ring] gradually emerged, the energy in the blood began to become more and more active, and the condensation speed began to accelerate.

Whenever a part of the energy accumulated, Ryan could feel a burning force in his body. This feeling was almost like a fire raging in his body, but it was not painful. Instead, he felt a power he had never felt before.

The blood core gradually formed, and the blood inside began to gather tightly, and the power became purer and purer.

When the blood core in the body condensed to the limit, Ryan condensed the blood core outside the body.

When all the blood was digested, the assimilation rate continued to increase, from 12% to 100%.

After Ryan's blood core expanded and condensed successfully, his aura became more stable and powerful.

He stretched his body gently and felt the unprecedented blood energy surging in his body, as if infinite power was waiting for his command. After sorting out his thoughts, he turned around and flew out of the empty space where he was.

He knew that the next action must be cautious to avoid exposing any of his true intentions and power, especially to attract the attention of other wizards.

Ryan put away his blood wings and began to control the power of the elements to fly lightly towards the direction of the Stone City.

In the Stone City, Ryan had already arranged what the two Sepada guards were going to do. Their tasks were simple - on the one hand, to keep the illusion that he had not left the scene, and on the other hand, to cover up all his suspicious actions.

The presence of the two guards brought a lot of help to Ryan, at least they could avoid more trouble and unnecessary attention.

Ryan landed steadily on the outskirts of the Stone City, and the guards had been waiting here long ago. Seeing his arrival, the two immediately stepped forward to greet him respectfully.

"Master, everything is fine. We have made sure that there is no abnormality in the surrounding environment." One of the guards whispered in a steady and powerful voice.

Ryan nodded slightly, knowing that they had done their job well. Then, he did not go directly back to the manor in the capital of the Kingdom of Wiki.

Instead, he continued his purpose of coming here and brought the guards to the ruins of the Crimson Wizard again.

Although he had visited this ruins once, in order to cover up his tracks, he deliberately pretended to come and explore again.

After all, any wizard's actions will be watched by other forces around him, especially since his current identity has attracted a lot of attention.

He walked around the ruins aimlessly, pretending to be fresh and curious about the formations and magic aura inside, picking up some fragments of magic items and magic tools from time to time, and seemed very focused on the surface.

In fact, he already had his own plan in his mind - he had long ignored these little tricks, and the only thing that really deserved his attention was the advanced meditation method and knowledge left in the Crimson Wizard Ruins, which he had already obtained.

So, he didn't stay for too long. Soon, he pretended to end this "exploration" and then hurriedly left the ruins with two guards.

Back in the Stone City, Ryan flew into the air again.

This time, he flew towards the capital of the Kingdom of Wiki.

Along the way, he was calm. Although he had achieved his goal, he did not dare to take it lightly.

The disaster of the destruction of the Copper Rust Academy cannot be concealed. The entire South Coast wizard world has been quietly changing and undercurrents are surging. Now, he must be more careful in both strength and secret planning.

Not long after, Ryan finally returned to his manor, a quiet and leisurely place far away from disputes. This is his current hiding place and his safest fortress.

Entering the manor, Ryan took a deep breath and relaxed his tense nerves.

Although he dared not show too much of his true face to the outside world, he could temporarily enjoy a moment of tranquility on this land that belonged to him.

"You and the other two guards continue to monitor the movements of the outside world and ensure everything is safe." Ryan ordered the two guards, and then entered the manor.

He knew that although everything seemed calm, everything he did these days might bring unforeseen waves in the future.

In the wizarding world, the weak are the prey of the strong, and any slackness may be caught by the enemy, especially since he now does not have the strength to fight against the third-level wizards.

...

Pauline sat in Ryan's study, with a complicated expression and a hint of fatigue in her eyes. She looked up at Ryan, but she had something in her mind that she couldn't say.

Finally, as Ryan put away the book in his hand, she spoke softly: "Ryan, a few days ago, the guards of the manor were attacked."

Ryan was stunned for a moment, with a flash of surprise and vigilance in his eyes: "Attack?" He paused, seemed to realize something, and asked in a deep voice, "Who did it?"

Pauline lowered her head, with a helpless look on her face: "I know you have been very busy, so I don't want to worry you. The guards who attacked at the time reported that they used metal element spells.

Since the other party was obviously a wizard who was very proficient in metal spells, the guards did not have much resistance. Fortunately, the timely support did not cause casualties.

That person did not seem to target us directly, but just wanted to find out something."

Ryan narrowed his eyes. When he heard the metal element spell, he had already guessed who was behind it. "Metal element spell..."

He muttered to himself, and then nodded slowly, "The problem has been solved. You don't have to worry."

Pauline looked at Ryan, seemed a little confused, and asked in a low voice: "What do you mean...?"

Ryan's mouth corners slightly raised, and he said softly: "Arco." His expression did not fluctuate at all, but his heart was full of chills.

Metal element spells, metal body, he couldn't forget the second-level wizard named Alco, he had dealt with the last trace of him in the town.

"Okay." Ryan stood up, walked to Pauline, stroked her hair, and said softly, "You did a good job, you don't need to tell me these things, I know you think about me." After that, he turned and looked out the window.

"But..." Ryan suddenly remembered something, and his eyes turned to Tilly standing aside, "Tilly, come here."

Tilly immediately stepped forward and stood respectfully in front of Ryan: "Master."

Ryan smiled slightly, his expression was a little gentler: "I remember you haven't been promoted to a first-level wizard yet, right? I'll give you a chance today."

Tilly's eyes suddenly flashed with a hint of surprise and gratitude, and he nodded excitedly: "Thank you, Master! I have been working hard, thank you for giving me this opportunity."

Ryan looked at him, and a satisfied light flashed in his eyes: "You have potential, and enough efforts have also produced results. Today, take a break, I will help you advance."
