The gathering place was arranged by the Kaouya royal family. It was not arranged in the City of Holy Wei, but in a secluded manor outside the city.
Emperor Kaouya did not attend this gathering. Although he is an emperor, he is not very powerful. In this gathering dominated by level 9 sword masters and level 9 holy magicians, the status of the emperor is of little use and is not as useful as the members of the royal family.
A level 8 great swordsman speaks with weight.
When Ryan followed Cheshudi and Matthews to the manor, he was welcomed by the owner of the manor, the royal eighth-level swordsman Lampard.
Before coming, Ryan had learned that Lampard was the most powerful person in the royal family of the Kaouya Empire, and he was also the other person Matthews agreed to take to the northern secret realm. However, he did not know that Lampard was working for Kaouya.
For the sake of the sub-empire royal family, or really coveting the treasures of the northern secret realm, Lampard initiated a proposal to limit the number of level 8 great swordsmen, thus gaining the support of other level 8 great swordsmen.
At the moment, Lampard is welcoming Cheshu Di and Matthews. In the future, he will enter the secret realm of the north. If he encounters danger, he will need the help of Cheshu Di, Matthews and others. Therefore, even if he waits to bring him
Many level 8 great swordsmen negotiated with Cheshu Di and others, but they did not dare to offend Cheshu Di and others at all.
Lampard met Ryan, and it was easy to guess that Ryan was the one who occupied Matthews' other spot. Although he didn't know Ryan, from Ryan's age and Ryan's iconic big body, it was easy to guess that Ryan was the one.
Lampard, the level 8 great swordsman and level 8 magister who has been in the spotlight recently, did not show any hostility. Instead, he nodded to Ryan. He showed the demeanor that an imperial royal family should have.
Ryan also nodded as a greeting. He also remained calm and polite to Lampard, but also remained vigilant.
"Master Cheshu Di, Master Matthews, and several other masters have arrived and are waiting for you two to arrive." Lampard smiled and welcomed everyone in.
Everyone quickly came to the reception hall in the manor. There were already many people sitting inside. Ruian glanced over. Although there was no clear distinction, there were four people sitting in the upper position. They were obviously level 9 sword masters and level 9 sword masters.
The Holy Magister, and sitting below, are more than a dozen level 8 great swordsmen.
In the Kaouya Empire, a place where swordsmen are respected, level 8 magisters are relatively weak. Moreover, it is difficult to guarantee safety when entering the northern secret realm. Therefore, there are only level 8 great swordsmen who want to go to the northern secret realm this time, and there are no level 8 masters.
Magister.
Soon, Ryan saw someone he knew. In the seat above, there was the level 9 sword master Vipses. And in the seat below, there was the level 8 swordsman Lei Qi from the St. Andy family. Ryan saw Lei Qi.
When Li Qi came to Qi, he couldn't help but feel angry in his heart. The last time Li Qi used Vipses's hand to deal with him, Ruian had not retaliated yet. However, Ruian knew that now was not the time to take action, and he would have the opportunity to trouble Li Qi again in the future.
As soon as Cheshudi and Matthews entered the hall, the 8th-level swordsmen sitting below left their seats and came up to say hello, seeming to please Cheshudi and Matthews. Obviously, they all held something similar to Lampard's.
I would never offend two people easily. Of course, there were two level 8 great swordsmen who did not come forward to please them.
He just stood up and bowed silently. Ruian was a little confused, but soon thought about it and realized that these two level 8 great swordsmen must be from the southern part of the mainland, because there was a level 9 holy demon sitting in the seat above.
Mentor, these two level 8 great swordsmen must have gone to the northern secret realm as protectors.
After a while of commotion, Cheshu Di and Matthews went to the upper seats and sat down. The top seat was reserved for Cheshu Di, because Cheshu Di was the oldest among them, and perhaps not the strongest.
It's awesome, but everyone else respects the Cheshu flute and leaves the top position to the Cheshu flute.
Ruian found a seat at the bottom and sat down. He didn't know anyone except Lei Qi, so he found a seat at the outermost and most remote place, which made him look very low-key.
Ryan came in with Cheshu Di and Matthews, and he was very unfamiliar. Therefore, once everyone sat down, many people present looked at Ryan. Among them, Reich's eyes were full of hatred, while Vipses above them looked at him.
His eyes were cold and slightly disdainful.
Seeing this, Cheshudi introduced Ruian and said: "Everyone, I would like to introduce a new master to you. This one is Ruian, an 8th-level great swordsman and 8th-level magician from the Oseidon family."
Ruian stood up and silently performed a swordsman's salute to everyone.
Suddenly, everyone who didn't know Ruian suddenly understood, and looked at Ruian with more eager eyes. Recently, Ruian's deeds have spread throughout the Kaouya Empire, but Ruian and the St. Andy family
’s battle, and the battle with Vipses, and
It has not been spread, so the deeds circulated outside are just the deeds of Ruian becoming an 8th-level swordsman and an 8th-level magician, as well as a few limited battle deeds. Therefore, after people heard Ruian's name, they were not only curious but also
Too much shock, obviously not clear about Ryan's strength.
Next, Cheshudi introduced other people to Ruian, mainly introducing the level 9 professional sitting above.
In addition to Vipses, the other one of the three level 9 swordsmen in the Kayoa Empire is Simonster. He is an old man in his sixties. His short and thin figure makes him look very inconspicuous, but he has
With unimaginable strength.
In addition, there is a level 9 sword master Suli and a level 9 holy magician Menyes at the top. They all came from the kingdom and principality in the southern part of the continent close to the Kaouya Empire. Menyes also followed past practice.
He brought two level 8 great swordsmen as protectors to the northern secret realm.
When introducing everyone to Ryan, Vipses showed no reaction at all. In addition to embarrassing Ryan, it also made Cheshu Di a little embarrassed. Simonster didn't seem to have heard of Ryan's reputation, but he was sure from his appearance.
Ryan was related to Cheshu Di and Matthews, so he just nodded calmly. Sully and Menyes, who came from the southern part of the mainland, seemed not to have heard of Ryan's reputation, but as guests, they started to smile.
Nod to Ryan as a courtesy.
As for the level 8 great swordsmen below, Cheshu Di did not introduce them to Ruian one by one, perhaps in Cheshu Di's eyes it was unnecessary.
Next, after the introduction, everyone fell silent for a while. Cheshu Di, who was sitting at the top, did not speak. Lampard, the convener of this gathering, seemed to be thinking about how to negotiate with the level 9 professionals.
I didn’t know how to speak, so there was a brief silence.
Unexpectedly, it was Vipses who spoke first, and what he did was beyond everyone's expectation, which was to embarrass Ruian. He said coldly: "Your Excellency Cheshu Di, I heard that you have arranged a protection horse.
The choice of Master Hughes."
"Yes." Cheshudi didn't know what Vipses wanted to do, but he thought it was already a public matter, so he didn't deny it.
"It can't be this Ryan, can it?"
Hearing this, Ruian's face turned cold. He didn't expect that Vipses would cause trouble for him at this time. Although Vipses hadn't started to cause trouble yet, now that Ruian's name was mentioned, he would definitely not give up. Unfortunately, Ruian is not strong enough.
, otherwise he would definitely not let Vipseth be in trouble, but now Ryan has no choice but to watch Vipseth make things difficult for him.
"Yes." Cheshudi had already seen that Vipses was targeting Ryan, and his expression became ugly, but he did not deny it.
"Then why is it him? In terms of age and qualifications, he is the lowest among everyone here, and in terms of strength, his skills are low. Does Mr. Cheshudi want to be selfish?" Vipseth said coldly.
, he not only made things difficult for Ruian, but also for Qie Shudi.
Obviously, in addition to being unhappy with Ryan, Vipses also seems to want to challenge Cheshu Di's position. Among the three level 9 swordsmen in the Kaouya Empire, he is the youngest one, and his usual ranking is
Ranked third, but at the same time he is the most ambitious one. He usually doesn't have much opportunity. Now that he has the opportunity, he naturally wants to challenge Cheshu Di's status. Maybe he has no idea of replacing him, but attacking Cheshu Di is
What he likes to do.
The others sitting above were slightly surprised, but didn't react at all. Matthews was a little angry, but since Cheshu Di hadn't counterattacked yet, there was no need for him to refute.
The level 8 swordsmen sitting below were even less likely to speak at this moment. Those who had nothing to do with themselves remained silent and watched the fun. Lampard showed a hint of excitement on his face. He was worrying about how to communicate with the level 9 profession.
Negotiating with the practitioners, it is beneficial for Vipses to embarrass Ryan now. As long as he puts forward his request at the right time, maybe the level 9 professionals will agree to it.
Lacy's face was very happy. He hated Ryan very much, but he couldn't do anything about Ryan, so now he was very happy as long as Ryan was in trouble. Last time, Lacy used the help of Vipses to deal with Ryan, and the result was that
It didn't work out, but probably because of the good relationship between their ancestors, Vipses didn't hold Lacy accountable for using him, but just scolded Lacy, so Lacy hated Ryan even more.
Cheshu Di had a dark face and seemed to not know how to answer Vipses' words for a moment. He was not angry because Vipses questioned Ryan's ability. It was easy for many people to question Ryan when they had not seen Ryan's strength.
What made Cheshudi angry was that Vipses was so disrespectful to him, which could be called rude.
Ruian's face also changed greatly. He originally wanted to use Cheshu Di to deal with Vipses, but now he had no choice but to step forward. Then Ruian stood up and said: "Your Excellency Vipses, you are questioning my strength.
