Ryan: "Be honest, I want money. How much is up to you."

His face and body were completely covered by a black hood, and his face and expression could not be seen clearly, and no emotion could be heard in his voice.

Musser said for a moment: "..."

The way to get money is really interesting.

Musser is rich, very rich, and the wealth of the entire water city belongs to him.

Whether it is elemental crystals or elemental elves, for Musser, money is the best thing to solve. But if Ryan directly said a price, Musser might not be so entangled. Although he looked superficially

He looked at the elemental crystal in Ryan's hand calmly, but he was thinking more in his heart.

The most critical thing...are the two sentences Ryan mentioned before.

Anyone who knew his true identity as the King of Water City was either killed by Mussel or imprisoned in a deep-sea prison by him.

Mussel didn't know how Ryan learned that he had become the new king of Water City, nor did he know whether Ryan knew the secret technique that only King Aldore knew.

If Ryan knew that the old king was dead and sold the news to the City of Fire——

The City of Water will usher in a long-planned war.

but……

Finally, Musser looked up at Ryan and suddenly asked: "Do you feel comfortable riding the Glodin this morning?"

After Ryan spoke, he had been communicating with the system silently in his mind. When he saw Musser looking up at him, he thought he was going to discuss the price with him, but he didn't expect that Musser suddenly mentioned the Glodin.

Ryan, who was on guard, subconsciously replied: "I don't feel comfortable."

Musser immediately laughed when he heard this.

Ryan: "?"

When Ryan saw him laughing, he immediately seemed to understand something. He looked at Mussel in surprise and said, "So it's you."

That guy on the Korodin who had been secretly sizing him up.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Businessman."

Musser smiled and said, "It happened for a reason, and I was also on the Glodin."

Ryan nodded and said hesitantly: "So, the person talking to me later is also you?"

"Yes... I was very curious about a high-level space magician and why he appeared on the Korodin. I wonder if it was Lebaye's conspiracy."

Musser agreed honestly and continued: "Of course, it was a coincidence later. I didn't expect that the place where you used space magic to teleport to would have an incarnation of my water element there."

He didn't know that Lane was using a random teleportation scroll, which was why Musser never took action to capture Lane.

After all, don't offend anyone, especially a space magician, especially when he is a mysterious businessman.

Ryan: "..."

Show off!

Good guy, no one from Lebaye can enter your Aldore. As a result, one of your water element incarnations actually went directly to their main city.

"I thought you were a good person...otherwise you wouldn't have saved the passengers on that boat."

Musser didn't know how Lane saved the boatload of people. After all, Musser couldn't see the store panel.

But Musser had already ruled out that Ryan was the mage of the City of Fire, so he looked at Ryan and continued: "I didn't mean to interrupt at the time, but I heard you suddenly mention Aldore... so I couldn't hold back my curiosity.

"But you didn't listen to my explanation and left."

This is also why the defense of the Water Palace is so lax.

Musser didn't know what Ryan was going to do when he came to Odore. It was all a matter of guessing, but he seemed to have guessed it right.

After all, Mussel really needs a water elemental elf right now.

Ryan: "..."

The fate is truly wonderful.

Ryan thought for a moment, then turned the element crystal in his hand, and replied with a low smile: "I'm sorry that I didn't listen to your explanation at that time, because I was in a hurry, and I was still looking for the owner of the next treasure.

.”

If it had been known that the owner of the voice was Musser, then Ryan could have saved a lot of time, but it was not necessarily a good thing. After all, Ryan knew what Dylan was plotting here, and he could have done something before something really happened.

Take preventive measures.

Musel hummed softly, his eyes were as blue as the deep sea. When he heard Ryan mention the second treasure, he asked in a low voice: "Can I know what kind of treasure it is? Maybe I am also its owner.

"

If Ryan still has a fire element crystal or a fire element elf in his hand, he will buy it too, leaving no opportunity for Lebaye.

Mussel is not only the king of the water city, he is also a son of water, with the blood of the sea people. He can feel that Ryan's heart is cleaner than his appearance, and he is a good person.

If it was just pretending, it would be terrible.

Mussel thought in his mind, his eyes deepened, and he secretly sighed that it was a pity that he couldn't see Ryan's eyes, otherwise Mussel could directly peer into Ryan's mind.

Ryan chuckled softly, unmoved, "So do you still want the water elemental elf?"

Fake, how can he have a second treasure? If he could barely count it, the only thing he carries is a facial mask.

Musser couldn't confirm Ryan's thoughts for a while, and finally felt that what he meant by this sentence should be that he would decide whether to take out the second treasure based on his performance in the first transaction.

Thinking this in his heart, he also thought that this was the case. Musser reached out and took off the blue flying fish ring in the shape of a water ring on the little finger of his left hand. He also raised his index finger to outline the ripples of water in the air.

He steadily delivered the ring to Ryan.

Mussel looked at Ryan and said: "Dear mysterious businessman, why don't you make friends with me? If you are going to find an owner for a precious treasure in the future, please remember me first."

The azure space ring apparently released Musel's mental power, but in fact it still concealed a ray of Musel's consciousness.

He knew that the money in the ring would not be very small, but Ryan did not take the ring immediately and quietly asked the system in his mind: "Sir, how much money is in the ring?"

"The total is 2971 gold coins, as well as various rare magic stones and materials. The value of this ring alone is quite high."

The system quickly checked the data and whispered in Ryan's mind: "But friendly advice, you'd better not accept this ring directly, otherwise Musser can always locate your coordinates and pass this ring at any time.

The ring finds you wherever you are."

Ryan: "Okay, thank you."

How gloomy.

He looks kind and gentle on the outside, but secretly he is very thoughtful.

Fortunately, he was prepared and asked the system in advance, otherwise he would have been fooled.

But...for nearly 3,000 gold coins, Musser is so generous!

It was nearly 2,000 gold coins more than the 1,000 gold coins he expected!

It is absolutely impossible to spit out the money that is almost in hand!

As for the magic stones and materials in the ring, Ryan is not prepared to take them. After all, one cannot be too greedy. For the sake of the long term, it seems that he can come to the City of Water often in the future to do money-related transactions with Mussel.

The most enjoyable transactions are with generous people.

Ryan, "President, come and help me... Look at my gestures later and help transfer Musser's money to my space ring."

Although you can't be too greedy, you still have to pretend. It's not time to lose the disguised identity of a money-grubbing and unpredictable mysterious businessman.

System: "ok."

The azure water ring ring has a beautiful appearance. The flying fish is lifelike, floating quietly in the void in front of Ryan. It is engraved with complex and exquisite magic patterns, shining with light blue light, and looks mysterious and dreamy.

Ryan looked up at Mussel, his face under the hood deliberately showing the scar at the corner of his mouth, and then he stretched out his hand, his fingertips shining with silver light, which was a sign before space magic was used.

Musser quietly watched Ryan's movements and looked at Ryan's fingers, with light shining in his eyes.

Ryan didn't realize that the skin color of his exposed chin was different from that of his hands. He swept his palm across the space ring, pretending to use space magic, but actually letting the system secretly help transfer the gold coins.

Then... Ryan flicked his fingertips and sent the space ring back to Musel. Along with it, there was the water element crystal containing the elemental spirit.

Musser stretched out his hand to take the elemental crystal, and after confirming that it was indeed an elemental spirit inside, he felt a little more at ease. Then Musser swept the space ring with his mental power, and he immediately knew that something was missing inside.

A space merchant who only wanted money, the corners of Musser's mouth raised slightly, and he became even more curious about Ryan.

Taking away all the gold coins in the owner's space ring without destroying the owner's spiritual power is not something that ordinary mysterious businessmen can do.

Ryan received the money and felt very happy. He looked at Mussel and answered Mussel's previous question in a calm voice: "What a coincidence, I also like to make friends."

Especially friends who are bold and generous!

Looking up, he suddenly saw an unclear emotion in Musser's eyes. Ryan gently rubbed the shaft of the stick with his fingers, reflecting on whether the price he charged seemed a bit too high. He had no idea that Musser was trying to use money to silence him and prevent him from letting go.

He told the secrets of the Water City to the outside world.

In order for the next transaction to proceed smoothly, Ryan finally decided to give Mussel some gifts to maintain the friendship of his new friends. Ryan continued to look at Mussel, and was about to ask him if he wanted to drink, when he suddenly remembered this

There is a precious elf fruit wine in the world.

Ryan silently thought to himself: 'Musel is so rich, there should be no shortage of high-end wine.'

In addition to wine, cars...object——

There are no game consoles or cigarettes, but Musser seems to have no shortage of happiness as a man. Not only is he a king, he also has many fish ponds.

The key is that Musser's skin is also good, fair and translucent, and he probably doesn't need facial masks or skin care products.

Finally, Ryan looked at Mussel, hesitantly about to ask him what he liked, but Ryan suddenly felt that his face seemed to be gently touched by someone's hand——

Pinch it.

"!"

The eyes under the cloak widened instantly, Ryan: "?"

Although the feeling was fleeting, he was indeed pinched!

who's that person?

But now is not the time to think about it.

Ryan thought for a few seconds, but still couldn't think of a small gift to give, so he asked the system in his mind: "Can the lottery opportunity be given away?"

System: "Yes, but the same object can only be transferred once within a month."

Ryan said hello, raised his head slightly, and with the enigmatic halo effect fully activated, he looked at Musel and asked: "As a greeting gift for new friends...Friend, do you believe in luck?"

An intermediate lottery only costs 1 gold coin, and now he is a rich man with nearly 3,000 gold coins in his hands!

Musser didn't know what he was going to do, but suddenly seeing Ryan's aura becoming more mysterious, he whispered softly: "I believe it."

Even though everyone knows that the God of Luck has fallen, there are still people who believe in luck, and Musser is one of those people who firmly believes in luck.

Ryan raised his right hand slightly and looked at Musser and said to the system in his mind: "To transfer my chance of a mid-level lottery to Musser, it is best to create fancy special effects."

System: "Wait a moment."

After deducting the number of draws, a beautifully packaged blue magic box suddenly appeared in Ryan's palm.

"My new friend, this is a meeting gift from me...but as for what will be opened here, I am not sure. It all depends on the luck of the person who opens the box."

Although Ryan felt that the magic box was not dazzling enough, he thought that if it was too luxurious, it would not be feasible to open a caterpillar in the end, so he stopped changing it, tapped the void with his fingertips, and the blue magic box flew lightly towards Mu

Serge.

"Thanks."

Musser watched as Ryan reached out to catch the magic box and held it in his hand.

The magic box was so light that it seemed to have no weight at all. Musser couldn't detect anything inside even if he used his mental power to perceive it.

It's like it's been absorbed by something, but there seems to be nothing in the magic box.

"May you get good luck from the mysterious magic box."

Seeing that Mussel seemed to be very interested in the magic box, Ryan quietly breathed a sigh of relief and said softly: "See you next time, my friend."

Then he tore up the teleportation scroll hidden under the hood and opened the space in front of Musser's eyes. The next second, Ryan disappeared from the Water Palace, leaving Musser alone with a look of surprise in his eyes.

After tearing up the teleportation scroll, Ryan appeared outside the City of Water. Fortunately, he reacted in time and used the levitation technique, otherwise Ryan almost fell into the sea. Ryan located an uninhabited island and teleported there, and first re-

After counting the huge wealth in the ring, he happily took off the hood on his head and took off the mask on his face.

It was already getting late, the sea surface was the same color as the sunset, and seabirds flew by in groups.

Ryan proudly bought a bottle of iced drink in the store, drank half of it, and then touched the feathers of the celestial bird. Suddenly he remembered something and said to the system in his mind: "It seemed like someone pinched my face just now.

Already."

Although it was only a slight touch, it was indeed pinched, and he almost lost his words.

System: "But there were only you and Mussel in the Water Palace just now, and there was no third person."

"So I felt weird."

Ryan shrugged his shoulders, "Did you secretly tease me just now?"

Tian Mianniao tilted his head in confusion, "Chirp?"

It doesn't pout, it just likes to pout fafa.

Ryan patted his cheek and said to himself in confusion, "So who could it be?"

Although it wasn't a big deal, it was the first time he had his face pinched.

The key is that this time I was pinched in the face. What if I was directly wiped in the throat next time?

It's really scary to think about it.

The system understood Ryan's doubts, then conducted a wide range of tests, and finally replied with some uncertainty: "It should...maybe, it was Andrew who just touched your alchemy golem."

"?"

Ryan: "Why do I feel the alchemy golem when someone touches it?"

"That's the beauty of the alchemical golem."

System: "Except for death, all the other touches that the Alchemy Golem can feel can be experienced simultaneously no matter how far away you are. Of course, you can also turn off this function, but you don't have to before leaving Oran."

Ryan: "That's it."

Ryan: "But why did he pinch my face?"

System: "Maybe before Emily could explain to him about the golem, Andrew realized something was wrong and was trying to confirm whether the golem was a real person."

Ryan: "That's right."

wrong!

Ryan raised his head, "Has Andrew arrived in Oran yet?"

"Yes." The system voice replied calmly: "Andrew arrived in Oran not long after you left. Emily has already handed him the settlement certificate that you prepared in advance. He only needs to wait for you to go back and stamp the lord's seal.

Andrew will officially become your subject."

Ryan: "Yeah!"

Ryan: "No, Andrew just came here. Doesn't the lord of his original location have any objections?"

Andrew is a young and mid-level fighter with great potential. Who would let him go so easily?

Hearing Ryan ask this, the system simply mentioned, "Andrew is not an aborigine. He was bullied without a father or mother since he was a child, and finally moved to the Red Barren Mountains."

Ryan: "Don't the local lords care?"

System: "Then who knows?"

"It's really not easy for him. The name of the land of the Red Barren Mountains sounds very poor."

Ryan sighed softly, decided to roast more meat for Andrew in the future, put the space ring away, and then continued to ask the system: "General, has Musser opened the magic box?"

System: "Opened."

Ryan's eyes were full of curiosity, "Then what did Musser prescribe?"

The system understood what he wanted to ask and calmly explained: "Something that is useful to him but not to you."

"Then it'll be fine."

Ryan snapped his fingers and said, "As long as he is useful, I can continue to talk to him about business next time."

It was already getting late, so the system asked: "Are you going back to Oran directly? Or are you going to rest somewhere else for the night?"

System: "The store has the most comfortable camping props, whether it's a bathtub, a shower... I have everything you want."

Ryan, who was heartbroken, shook his head and refused, "No."

Ryan changed his words and interrupted the topic of krypton gold. "Since Andrew has come to Oran and is still with the golem, he should be taking the golem to look for stones now. I am going to go to Langlin first to take a look.

What's the situation over there?"

Even if Dylan finds friendly forces and captures Langlin, he might be able to lurk by then?

Being familiar with the terrain is always worth it. At the worst, he can spend some money and take advantage of Dylan's advance to attack first.

System: "This array is a good choice."

Ryan: "So now the question is, do you have a teleportation array that can reach Langlin directly?"

He can teleport directly to Magalodin. Langlin must have been there, right?

"Yes." System: "But I'm sorry, you haven't been to Langlin, so you can't buy the scroll."

Ryan: "..."

Miscalculated.

Ryan: "Then can you tell me what Langlin's situation is now?"

System: "Langlin's situation is only slightly better than Oran's. Their lords are not so greedy for money, but their people are a little underfed."

"That won't work."

Ryan sighed, "If they can't afford to eat, they won't have the energy to fight. How can they have money if they can't afford to eat?"

Food alone is not enough, but money is okay. If you have money, you can have a friendly money transaction.

System: "Langlin people are richer per capita than Oran people."

"That's no problem." Ryan lowered his head and thought, "I can sell other food to Langlin in the future."

Since the Langlin people have money, they simply lack food.

System: "Then you can now use the scroll to teleport to Magalodin, and then take the goblin airship to Langlin."

Ryan nodded, "Okay, I'll do as you say."

To be honest, he has never seen a real goblin.

There is a little bit of expectation.

After tearing up the teleportation scroll, Ryan came to Magalodin again. This time he did not put on a hood, but put on a simulated mask, pretending to be an ordinary businessman, and at the same time replaced the inscrutable aura with a friendly aura.

.

After everything was ready, it was almost dark.

Perhaps today's luck was overdrawn. As a result, by the time Ryan arrived at the place where the goblin airship was, the last goblin airship heading to Langlin today had already set off.

Ryan consulted the businessman who rented out the goblin airship, and the answer he got was that the nearest goblin airship that could go to Langlin would have to wait until the morning of the day after tomorrow at the earliest.

If you don't take the goblin airship to Langlin, the only options left are the giant bat hot air balloon and the black-horned wind horse.

The giant bat is very large, with wings spread nearly five meters wide. It has dark hair all over its body, sharp nails, and a pair of blood-red eyes.

Ryan looked at those huge bats and found them a bit scary, and the black-horned wind horse was not as fast as his flame horse. Finally, Ryan gave up the idea of ​​going to Langlin, and once again tore up the teleportation scroll and returned to Oran.

As for business, it’s not too late to do it again, Ryan thought in his mind.

The businessman disguise was lifted during the teleportation process, and Ryan returned to Oran smoothly. The last scroll sent him directly back to the bedroom.

"Chirp!"

After a boring day, the Celestial Bird returned to a familiar room and immediately chirped and flew around the room, looking extremely happy.

Ryan took off his simple disguise, poured himself a glass of water after the krypton gold store collected it, and sat on a chair to relieve the fatigue after multiple space teleportations.

After not eating seriously all day, Ryan felt very hungry.

It was dark outside the window, and the roses blooming in the moonlight seemed to be welcoming him home. Ryan turned his head and looked around. The alchemy golem was not in the room. It must have been taken out by Andrew as he had guessed before.

The deadwood tree spirit Hanini was sleeping in the tree, and the flower fairy was still sleeping in the flower of Sia Aura. The celestial bird circled around the nest, unable to find its little friend, and then ran to Ryan again.

, raised his head and chirped non-stop.

Ryan then remembered that although the Tianmian bird had been sleeping on its stomach, it had not eaten much today because of him. He understood that it was hungry at this time, so he took out a few sweet cherry fruits from the space ring and fed it to the Tianmian bird.

After eating, Ryan rang the summons bell.

Emily, who had been watching the ringing of the bell, rushed over immediately after hearing the sound of the bell. She stood outside the bedroom door, raised her hand to knock on the door, and asked respectfully: "Dear Lord, are you back?

"

"it's me."

Ryan sat on the chair a little tiredly, rubbing his temples to relieve the fatigue after the space teleportation, "Is there anything to eat in the kitchen now?"

Emily, who was about to open the door and enter the house, immediately replied outside the door: "Yes, are you going to eat in the bedroom or go to the restaurant?"

Ryan: "Just in the bedroom."

He just wants to lie down, he doesn't want to move.

"Then please wait a moment."

After Emily finished speaking, she turned around and left in a hurry. Not long after, she and Ma Lian returned to the bedroom carrying freshly fried pasta and various delicious dishes.

Hearing the knock on the door, Ryan raised his hand and used his mental power to open the door. Emily and Ma Lian placed the food on the table.

Ryan said thank you, looked at Ma Lian and said, "Please help me prepare some hot water. I will take a shower after eating."

"I will obey your instructions."

Ma Lian bowed her head in response, turned around and left the room.

Ryan rolled up the pasta with chopsticks. Before eating, he looked at Emily in front of him and asked, "Has Andrew returned to Oran today?"

"Yes, Lord Lane."

Emily nodded and replied: "And Mr. Andrew did not come alone."

The system never mentioned this matter. When Ryan heard this, he asked curiously: "Who else is with him?"

"Coming to Oran with Mr. Andrew today is his sister, Miss Mahia."

When she mentioned Andrew's sister, Emily's tone was filled with wonder. She looked at Ryan and said, "Did you know? Dear Lord, Mr. Andrew's sister, Miss Mahia, is actually a real Haifu."

Laura.”

Ryan, who was a little confused, said, "?"

In order to cover up his ignorance, Ryan hummed softly, and at the same time immediately asked the system in his mind: "What does Heflora mean?"

System: "You can understand that Heflora is the chosen daughter of God, a priest personally selected by the Water Dragon God. She was also revered as the daughter of the Water Dragon God."

"Wow."

Ryan looked amazed, "It sounds very powerful, but since Andrew has such a sister, why does he still live in the mountains?"

Since she is the chosen daughter of God, there must be something special about her.

"When the Water Dragon God was still around, Heflora was indeed very respected."

The system's voice calmly replied: "But only when the Water Dragon God is still there, can Heflora perform the true dance of sacrifice to the Dragon God. And now for Heifera, their situation is even more difficult than that of ordinary people."

"What do you mean...did the Water Dragon God already fall?"

Ryan frowned slightly, "What about the Dragon God's sacrificial dance?"

"The Water Dragon God is missing. She has not responded to the calls of believers for a long time... The Dragon God's sacrificial dance is a dance that prays for and can change the weather. Without the dragon power of the Water Dragon God, the sacrificial dance will lose its original function

.”

System: "And the real Heflora will almost always have problems with their eyes when they grow up."

Ryan's lips pursed slightly, "What about Mahia?"

System, "Maxia is about to reach adulthood. The reason why Andrew will accept your employment in the first place is because the magic silver grass can slightly relieve the discomfort of Mahia's eyes."

"Does that mean there's no complete problem with her eyes?"

Ryan breathed a sigh of relief and then asked: "Did you just say...them?"

Ryan, "So Mahia is special?"

System: "Yes, she is special."

Ryan: "What's so special about it?"

"You'll know after you meet her."

System, "After all...as long as you stamp the city master's seal on the settlement certificate, Andrew and Mahia will become your subjects after making a contract, but now you seem to be missing a settlement certificate."

Ryan: "I make money."

Just kidding, there is no reason to let the daughter who was personally selected by the Water Dragon God go to Oran.

After all, the Water Dragon God just disappeared, maybe he suddenly appeared one day?

Wouldn’t it be wonderful then?

System: "The settlement certificate has been placed in your space ring."

Ryan opened his mouth thoughtfully, rolled up the spaghetti with chopsticks and swallowed it, then looked at Emery and asked: "Then do you know where Marcia and Andrew are?"

"Miss Mahia has gone to bed. I have temporarily arranged her room next to Ms. Katyusha's."

Emily thought for a few seconds and then said: "As for Mr. Andrew, he went to the back mountain and brought the devil with the same appearance as you. He should be back soon."

"OK."

Ryan nodded, "Then you can keep an eye on it for me later, and ask Andrew to come directly to me when he comes back."

Emily: "I will obey your instructions."

"correct."

Ryan: "Have you prepared a room for Andrew?"

For Andrew's previous employment, the system would send him back after the daily employment period ended. Now that Andrew has settled in Oran, everything must be prepared for him.

After all, this is Oran's first intermediate warrior!

Emily: "As per your instructions, Mr. Andrew's room has been tidied up in advance."

Then she looked slightly hesitant, "But Mr. Andrew, he seems to prefer the room where Henry butler lived before."

"?"

Ryan was confused, "Did he give a reason?"

"some."

Emily: "Mr. Andrew said that he thought it was great that after opening the curtains, the sun shone into the room and everything was golden."

Ryan: "..."

This poor guy.

I'm afraid you haven't always lived in a cave before, right?

The author has something to say: Ryan: "I didn't seem to say anything, but somehow I made more money than I expected!"

ps:

Therefore, Musser is not a bad guy, he is just a tycoon who likes to think too much and is too smart, but he did get good things from Ryan.

Hey, I seem to have miscalculated the word count!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Woohoo, I was wrong!
Chapter completed!
