Chapter Twenty Six
Ryan actually wanted to know the identity of the Raven Witch more than Dylan, who claimed to be a noble.
Unlike mages, witches are a very special profession.
Although witches can also learn magic, most witches are better at refining potions, divination and stand-in puppets. And because of the Temple of Light, some witches who have mastered black magic are regarded as unknown existences, especially the Raven Witches.
.
The place with the most witches is the Witch Forest, but they will also expel the Crow Witches. Wherever there are Crow Witches, the Temple Inquisitors will conduct witch hunting.
But according to Henry, the letter writer Dillon was a high-ranking nobleman living in the Imperial City, and the messenger was the Raven Witch.
The system mentioned to Ryan that the headquarters of the Temple of Light is in the Imperial City.
Ryan didn't completely believe Henry's words. He held the hypnotic tool in his hand, looked at Henry and asked for the last time: "So you really don't know who that witch is?"
"The person who wrote me the letter is from the Imperial City. He told me that he only needs to steal three of your things..."
Henry sat on the ground with dull eyes. When Ryan asked, he could only repeat what he had just said.
Seeing that he couldn't get any more useful information, Ryan was a little confused, but he didn't think too much, so he left the dungeon and decided to come back tomorrow.
Instructing the valet to guard the place, Ryan returned to his room with Tian Mianniao. When he entered the room, he couldn't help but said to the system: "The position of lord is really troublesome, but how could there be such a stupid guy? Obviously he
I don’t even know who Dylan and the witch are, and they just believe the prophecy of a crystal ball to be true, and they freely bully a good person like me who is a good person with good conduct and a kind heart."
System: "You are right, you are a good person."
The host just made money!
Seeing that these words did not arouse the sympathy of the system, Ryan lowered his head and pondered for a few seconds.
System: "So what are you going to do with Henry?"
"I don't know. I haven't thought about it. I definitely can't let him go. Anyway, let him stay in the dungeon first."
Ryan pulled up the chair and sat down, picked up the parchment on the table and said to Emily: "Please help me find Suo and Bart, thank you."
"Dear Lord, you don't need to be so polite. Next time you have something to do, just ask me to do it."
The thank you made Emily feel frightened, she quickly bent her head and strode out the door.
Ryan touched his hair.
Saying hello and saying thank you has become a habit, and it's really hard to change it for a while.
But now that Henry has been locked up by him, Lane feels that he can start making money.
The system saw Ryan pulling out his quill and seemed to be planning to draw on the parchment, so he kindly reminded him, "Your city lord's seal is still with Henry."
"Lord's seal?"
Ryan was about to ask the lord what the seal was for, but suddenly remembered something, "If you don't tell me, I almost forgot. I still have money with Henry!"
He is worried that he has no money to hire Andrew for a long time!
After saying that, he put down the quill, and Ryan stood up and was about to walk out the door. However, as soon as he went out, he found Emily running towards him in a hurry.
"Lord, something big has happened!"
Emily panted and ran to Ryan and stopped, looking slightly panicked and said: "The valet Beecher told me that Henry is swollen! Come and have a look!"
Ryan: "???"
The system detected the situation in the dungeon from a distance, and the cold machine voice's tone rose slightly: "Ah, he's really expanded."
Ryan: "Can't you speak more simply?"
He is curious!
When Ryan and Emerie rushed to the dungeon, they realized that the expansion they said was not adulterated at all.
Henry, who was already fat, was now like a ball inhaling like crazy. Not only the muscles of his body, but also the cheekbones on both sides of his cheeks were bulging, squeezing his eyes into slits, and the fat was so swollen that his clothes were about to burst, making him round and round.
His body felt like it would explode at any time.
Ryan opened his eyes wide and looked at Henry floating on his toes off the ground. He asked the valet Beecher in disbelief: "How did he become like this?"
Henry seemed to have lost his self-awareness at this time and was indifferent to Ryan's arrival. He silently allowed his body to expand without knowing the pain, like an unconscious puppet.
Beecher's body kept trembling, and he replied with some fear: "Not long after you left, Butler Henry suddenly started talking to himself. I remember... he seemed to read someone's name, and when he rolled his eyelids, he suddenly
It’s become like this.”
"Whose name did he read?" Ryan turned his head and looked at Beecher, "Do you still remember who he was talking about?"
Beecher thought about it carefully for a while, and finally whispered uncertainly: "He seems to be pronouncing...Alia."
"Aaliyah?"
Ryan watched Henry repeat the name.
When the name came out of his mouth, Henry's body suddenly accelerated its expansion speed, and his whole body was bloated to the extreme, floating into the air like a balloon, and his face was like a stretched dough, swallowing up his facial features, and finally exploded with a 'bang'
.
Broken flesh and blood splashed in all directions like rain. Fortunately, Ryan took precautions in advance, and all the flying blood and broken bones were blocked by a protective shield.
Beecher was so frightened that he knelt down on the ground, and Emily turned pale with fear.
Ryan closed his eyes the moment Henry exploded. After the movement stopped, Ryan looked at the dirty dungeon in front of him and asked the system in his mind: "Tong, do you know what the situation is now?"
It's not that he is bold, but this scene is a bit fake for Ryan who is used to seeing it on the big screen, and it is not even as scary as the special effects of coded movies. And the blood of normal people should be red, but Henry's blood after the explosion
But it was black, even the broken bones were, and it smelled extremely bad.
System: "He sold his soul to a witch, used his name as a medium, and escaped from this place through a stand-in puppet."
Ryan breathed out, "So these are all fake, right?"
He felt something was wrong first and should have thought there was something wrong.
System: "It's true."
Ryan: "?"
System: "These are the mixed blood of various beasts, and the residue on the ground are the bones of kittens and puppies that died just after birth."
Ryan: "..."
You are careless, this is more terrifying than a dead person!
Ryan held his breath and took a few steps back. He turned his head and said to Beecher who was trembling with fear: "Henry is not dead yet. He made a deal with the evil witch and escaped from Oran using a substitute puppet. These are all the blood and blood of beasts."
Skeletons.”
Beecher cried and hiccupped, "So Henry is not dead?"
Ryan nodded, "Yes."
Emily breathed a sigh of relief, and then Lane said Beecher: "Henry not only deceived us, but also tried to join forces with the evil witch to destroy Oran. Fortunately, the great Lord Lane saw through his conspiracy and saved Oran.
We must expose all his crimes!"
Ryan glanced sideways at Emery and agreed with her words. He turned his head and said to Bicher: "You will find a few people to clean up this place later."
Afterwards, Ryan left the dungeon and let Emily lead him to Henry's room. At this time, another male servant trotted over and informed Ryan that Burnier was missing.
"I understand." Ryan thought for a few seconds: "Go find Asa and notify the cook Carly to prepare today's dinner."
"Dear Lord."
Emily took Ryan to Henry's room and then left.
Ryan stood outside Henry's door. He didn't have the key to open the door, but it didn't matter.
"Do you know who Aaliyah is?"
While questioning the system in his mind, Ryan took out a staff from the space ring, focused the magic power on the tip of the staff, and easily destroyed the door lock with a combination of sharpness and division.
System: "It's the name of a maid."
"Not a witch?"
Ryan put away his staff and pushed the door open. The room was very dark, with multiple layers of dark curtains covering the windows.
System: "Professional maids and witches are not in conflict."
"I see."
Ryan followed the dim light to the window and reached out to lift all the curtains. When the sun shone in, his eyes were almost blinded without warning. It was better when the curtains were closed, and the dark room was exposed
The sunlight instantly became dazzling, everything in the room was golden, even the teacup on the table seemed to be plated with gold.
