No. 5 Baker Street.
It was here. Ryan looked up at the door number, turned around, and walked in.
This was a two-story building on the street. There were no steps, and there was a threshold. After crossing the threshold, there was a row of showcases. There were all kinds of weapons in the showcases, including swords, blades, heavy swords, shields, bows, and so on.
This was a weapon shop.
Franka Empire was not a place that worship martial arts. Compared to Bourne Empire's people, the people there were less strict and calm. They were more hot-blooded and brilliant. Their brute bravery was inferior to the Rakshasa, which was known as a combat nation.
Although it did not worship martial arts, it didn't ban martial arts.
Hundreds of years ago, the popular duel in the Noya Continent was spread out by Franka Empire. The nobles often fought because of arguments. They even threw white handkerchiefs at the other par
After night fell, the city became deserted.On the contrary, some of the streets became even more lively.The entire street was filled with magic stone lamps. The color of the lights was very enchanting, mainly pink. This was Lanceton's red-light district, Rose Street.In this alley, there were many bars.They were not just a place for drinking, but more like a huge salon. Countless hostesses moved around in the bar. Most of them were young and beautiful, contending in their beauty and fascination with gorgeous clothes. They were like flowers in spring.The Highlander Bar.The so-called Highlander was also known as another name of the Slavians.More than two thousand years ago, the barbaric Highlanders rode canoes and swept down from the northern wilderness. Franka Empire's north region was ruled by these people for a period. Later, those Highlanders intermarried with the local people. Now, th
An hour later, Jordan and Ryan arrived at the ninth pier.There were no fishing boats docked here, only some cargo ships. Therefore, there are several rows of warehouses in the port area. The cargoes unloaded from cargo ships were in the warehouse. There were silk and porcelains from the far east, all kinds of specialties from the New Continent, and weaving from Amur in the south...This place was heavily guarded.Jordan didn't bring Ryan to the ninth pier. Instead, he turned a corner and walked along the winding alley for more than ten minutes. Then, he arrived at a warehouse area. Rows of rooms were silently arranged, like rows of soldiers.There weren't many street lamps, only one in a far distance. The lights were dim, and most of the buildings were hidden in the darkness.There was no one in the entire warehouse area. It was exceptionally quiet. The sea breeze blew over and hit the roof. Occasionally, there was a
At this moment, Ryan suddenly took half a step back.His left foot took half a step back, and at the same time, he twisted his waist and crotch. His body spun, and his right leg jumped straight, whipping backward like a whip.At this time, the man had just placed his finger on the trigger.A gust of wind swept past, and Ryan's stretched toes accurately swept the wrist of the man. He was too fast, and the other party had no time to react. The gun was thrown out of his hand and flung to the side."Bullshit!"Wade cursed and threw his pipe away.If he lost his gun, that man won't threaten Ryan.However, Ryan did not stop there.His right leg landed on the ground and his left leg flew up again.His speed was extremely fast, and he finished in the blink of an eye.That person prepared to dodge. He had this thought in his mind, but his body could not keep up.
As he spoke, someone rolled over.The man's target was the Magic Stone pistol four or five meters away from Ryan. He was relatively close to the pistol. Once he caught it, he could take the opportunity to shoot at Ryan. Ryan was far away from the pistol. Even if he could react in time, there was no time to stop him.Ryan was still staring at Cripple Wade. He suddenly swung his left hand.A cold light shot out from his sleeve.That was sleeve arrow.This was also a weapon that Ryan got from Surgi. Its price was as expensive as the sword in the staff. It required more than a dozen Louis. In other words, it was more than a thousand yuan in Earth's currency.It was a mechanism similar to an armband. It was tied to the wrist, and there was a spring on it. There were seven short arrows installed. As long as the trigger was hooked, the short arrows would be shot out from it. Of course, this required a certain amo
Three consecutive shots.Within a second, Ryan fired three arrows.The sleeve arrows formed a triangle and shot towards Black-robed Man.This was a test.Once Black-robed Man dodged, Ryan could roughly estimate his speed and agility.However, Black-robed Man did not dodge. It was as if the sleeve arrow did not exist. He continued to stride forward. The rhythm of his steps did not change at all. The distance between each step remained the same, not one bit longer, not one bit less.The sleeve arrow landed on his body.Three sleeve arrows shot in front of his chest one after the other.The arrows shot out by the force of the spring were faster than the arrows shot by humans, and their penetrating power was stronger. On Earth, crossbows were a great killing weapon, which had been banned by all dynasties, even in warlike dynasties that allowed wield swords and sabers.Onc
Ryan was very fast.On Earth, the African cheetah was the fastest when hunting prey on a short journey. Its acceleration was astonishing, and it was able to flee over ten meters in a second. The speed of Ryan's current body was not inferior to that of the African cheetah.In the blink of an eye, his fist closed in on Black-robed Man's face.The wind from the fist whistled and blew the hood on Black-robed Man's head back.Half of Black-robed Man's head was exposed. The lower half of his face was still tightly wrapped in a black mask, but the upper half of his face was exposed in Ryan's sight.There were no eyebrows. His forehead was full of pimples. His skin seemed to have been peeled off by someone. Not only his forehead, but his hairless head was also the same. It looked extremely disgusting.Humans would not look like this!If it were an ordinary person, Ryan's punch would have already hit h
What was this?It was like a heart. Ryan could feel it beating. It rippled in the void and teleported out to an unknown place. It connected with something, and this connection confused Ryan.Pain?This fluctuation was more like a sweet temptation, like a poison wrapped in sugar, attracting people to approach.Looking at this seed, under the influence of this fluctuation, one would form an illusion.What the greedy people saw were mountains of gold and seas of silver. What the sensualists saw was a stunning beauty. An affectionate person saw love, and a man lust for power saw the throne...As long as one crawled in front of it, one would be able to achieve one's wish.It was such a temptation.Ryan stared at the black seed in his palm. His thoughts came into being along with the Book of Gold's golden light.Golden light rippled, wrapping around the black seed.
Not many people were in the warehouse area.In this warehouse, the tenants were all middle-class people. They rented a small compartment and placed some household items here. There was nothing too important, so there was only an old man guarding the door at night.Apart from guarding the gate, the old man had to patrol once every two hours.This was a rule.Of course, it was unknown whether the old man had followed this rule or not.This was also the reason why Cripple Wade chose to ambush Ryan here. Even if the old man knew what they were doing, he would ignore them. An old man like him who had no hope in life would not meddle in other people's business.While fighting, the old man was dozing off inside the gatehouse.Because the distance was a bit far, and whether it was Ryan or Wade's group, they all subconsciously did not shout out loud when fighting, so the old man did not hear anything.
The Divine Incantation?There was doubt in Ryan's eyes."Yes, this is the Divine Incantation!"Livingston sounded serious."The Bible that the Sanctuary had enshrined was written in the Divine Incantation. The reason why it's called the Divine Incantation is because in the legends, these were words that God used but ordinary people could not. A so-called talent is a human who can see the Divine Incantation!"Livingston raised his hand and made a cross in front of his chest."Seeing the Divine Incantation is only the first stage. Only a real extraordinary being can recite the Divine Incantation and gain the power to change the real world. Earlier, when you left the warehouse, you didn't see what happened. When Lord Fontaine activated the Recall array, the incantation he chanted was the Divine Incantation. The Divine Incantation can't be recited with just one's voice. It also consumes a huge amount of
Inside Livingston's office in the Underground Palace.Light poured down from above his head. Ryan raised his head slightly and leaned back in his chair. His breathing was so soft that it could not be heard. Although he had survived a disaster, he could not relax just like that. There was still more to this matter.However, there was no longer any immediate danger of him being exposed, so he could relax a bit.Back at the office, the group went down to Underground Palace. Livingston asked Ryan to wait in his office while he left.After more than 10 minutes, Livingston returned to his office.After he entered, Ryan also stood up. As Livingston walked to his desk, he waved his hand downward and motioned for Ryan to sit down for a conversation. Once Ryan was seated, he walked around the desk and sat down in the chair behind it.When he sat down, the wooden chair made a creaking sound as if it couldn't b
Azar chewed a nicotine candy in his mouth as he squeezed out of the crowd.He was wearing a cap, a white shirt, and a small yellow vest with a tie knotted around his collar. On his lower half, he was wearing a pair of black riding breeches and a pair of tall boots. Hanging in front of his chest was a Magic Stone camera.He was in his early 30s with a head of long, curly hair. He had gloomy eyes that gave off an artistic aura.He had a slightly waxy complexion and huge eye bags under his eyes, making him look as if he did not have any vitality. It was as if he had been trapped by fatigue and could not break free. He always looked like he had not had enough rest.He was a reporter for Lanceton's evening newspaper.As a reporter, it was normal for him to leave early and return late, or vice versa. Whenever there was any sudden news, even if it was in the middle of the night, he had to immediately get up and rush to
The most critical moment had come!Ryan held his breath. His heartbeat was as slow as usual. Although he was nervous, his emotions did not affect his body. It was like his nervousness was drifting outside his body. He could feel it, but it was as if it did not belong to him.He stared at the screen that seemed to be projecting.The figure swayed.It was the perspective of the dead Owen De Gebora. At first, the one who appeared on the screen was Cripple Wade, who had been next to him at that time. He had a thick and short body, uneven legs, a thick cane, and a malicious gaze...Next, James, who was sweating in fear, appeared on the screen before disappearing instantly.Then, the others, who were at the distance, appeared. Although they were far away, they still appeared clearly on the screen. Their faces could be clearly seen, but like James, they also disappeared very quickly.Finally,
"Boo-hoo..."Suddenly, he heard the sound of sobbing. In the middle of the day, there was a sudden chill as if he were in a thousand-year-old igloo. The voice sounded like a ghost, sweeping in from all directions and making fear grip his heart.He couldn't help but turn his head. A strong gust blew.The iron sheet on the roof of the warehouse kept shaking in the wind, struggling to escape into the wind.On the ground, dust rose with the wind, forming a gray fog that whistled through the alley. It blew eastward and sometimes westward, hitting against the wall and making a harsh sound.A second ago, the sun was shining brightly, but at this time, dark cloud covered the sun. The sky had dimmed as if night had suddenly fallen and was about to swallow the entire city.However, if one were to look a thousand meters away, it was still sunny.This dark cloud only appeared above the warehouse. T
Ryan did not go far.He walked out the warehouse door and greeted Sheriff Trim with a smile. The other party nodded with some suspicion, but a smile also appeared on his face. Although Ryan was just a teenager, Trim did not dare to look down on him.For extraordinary beings, neither age nor gender was important. Even if it were a baby, Trim would still be very respectful.After interacting with them for a long time, he knew how incredible these guys were."What do you need me to do?"Trim took off his hat, placed it on his chest, and did a perfect gentleman's salute.Ryan quickly returned the greeting and waved his hand with a smile.Then, he made his way past the warehouse door and went around it.Although he had doubts, Trim did not ask further and did not follow him. He chose to turn a blind eye.Curiosity could not only kill a cat, but it could also kill a living
Ryan was a distance away from Fontaine and Livingston. He clearly felt that there was something amiss between the two of them. Although the atmosphere could not be said to be hostile, they seemed to be clashing with each other.On the other side, Livingston took half a step back and bowed to Fontaine."Sir, Martti has yet to step through that door. Your Excellency must know about her current situation. Isn't a spell like Recall too difficult for her? I hope you can reconsider it, or perhaps you have some other way?"Ryan could hear Livingston's words.This spell seemed to be harmful to Martti. As the captain of the team and their instructor, Livingston had a different opinion. It seemed that he was persuading Fontaine to give up this plan.Ryan hoped that Lord Fontaine would be able to accept Livingston's opinion.However, it seemed that Fontaine had made up his mind and would not change it just because Li
The warehouse was exceptionally quiet.The corpse still retained its original appearance. Perhaps something had been done to them because there were no signs of livor mortis. However, everyone's faces looked very disturbed. Even the police officer who had seen many corpses before seemed blatantly disgusted and uneasy.Now, except for Sheriff Trim, all the other patrol officers were asked to leave.All of Iris Tectorum's people were at the scene. Johnny explained the situation to Fontaine while Trim made additional comments from the side. As he looked at Fontaine, the look of flattery never left his face.Livingston was with Ryan and the other two. At this time, he was wearing a top hat and holding a cane. Although he still looked ugly, he was not as ugly as before. He appeared refreshing and refined now."Ryan, this is your job!"Livingston pointed at the corpse."Your main task is to deal wit
Two carriages, one in front and one at the back, drove down the street.They were both four-wheeled carriages with black compartments and tall shafts. The wheels of the carriages rolled across the streets that were covered in gravel. As the carriages had decent shock absorbers, so long as they did not encounter extremely uneven ground, it would not be a bumpy ride.Ryan and Martti sat opposite each other. There were two rows of seats inside the carriage which could seat five to six people. Since there were only two passengers, it felt quite spacious and not crowded at all.Out of the three people, only Milo Dravich knew how to drive a carriage, so he sat outside to steer it.On the ceiling of the carriage, there was a small glass skylight. This skylight was mobile and could be pushed open or closed. When it was sunny, the skylight would be left open to allow sunlight to enter with the wind. When it rained, the skylight would be pus
