Chapter 294 A Librarian Came to Black Dragon City
"Prime Minister, the Flying Dragon Riders have discovered a group of troops from the Glorious City at the pass. There are many experts here!"
A powerful team of mages was heading towards Black Dragon City. The news also alarmed the city's top leaders.
After all, according to intelligence, that team of mages not only includes the Great Polymath Cavo Ramirez, who is ranked first among the "Ten Legends", but also includes many high-level magicians who once had a great reputation in the Glory City.
Although there are only more than 200 people in the entire team, there are more than 30 to 50 high-level mages above level three.
This is an extremely powerful team that is capable of threatening the safety of a large city.
However, these people were not wearing the iconic red robes of the City of Glory. Instead, they were wearing the same rough linen grey robes as Kavo, dressed like wandering wizards.
…
After receiving the news, Ymir immediately went to the fighting arena behind the city hall and found Ryan who was fighting fiercely with a fourth-level Coleman warrior.
In the fighting arena, the two sides fought back and forth, punching each other and making crackling sounds.
"Good! Lord City Lord's punch may severely damage the fourth-order earth dragon..."
“Hahaha… Gaimon, don’t stop! Doctor Ryan is Elder Udo’s man, you have to help the tribal warriors beat him up!”
"That's right. I don't get this opportunity on weekdays."
“But the city lord is really powerful. He is only at the third level of transcendence. Now even Gaimon can’t defeat him. There are not many people in the tribe who can defeat him…”
“…”
There were many people watching the fight around, and the shouting was endless.
Although the Coleman warriors recognized Ryan, the custom in the tribe was that only the strong had the right to choose their mate.
Since Ryan "occupied" their Elder Udo, he naturally had to accept the challenge of the warriors.
Now his strength has been recognized by everyone.
As the fight went on, Ryan suddenly noticed Ymir coming in, stopped, and asked, "Your Highness Ymir, are you looking for me?"
In the blink of an eye when he stopped, the wounds on his body had healed and returned to normal.
"Yes. Lord City Lord, there is an urgent information..."
Ymir looked at the shirtless Lei in front of her, and a strange look flashed in her eyes.
In just one month, Ryan's fighting skills improved visibly every day. His rapid progress surprised everyone in the city who knew him.
A top-level extraordinary person like Ymir could tell at a glance that Ryan's martial arts skills had been "mastered". He used his moves more flexibly and gradually incorporated some of his own unique understanding.
She knew very well that this was the threshold of "fist spirit".
The speed of progress is simply unbelievable.
If it were anyone else, it would be impossible without ten or eight years of practical training.
However, Ymir is no longer surprised by this guy who can always create miracles.
"Master Kavo is here?"
When Ryan heard the news from Ymir, he was not surprised at all.
After all, when he was in Black Wind Territory, he had invited Kavo to come to Black Dragon City for a chat.
He was a little surprised that the old man did not come alone, but brought a group of several hundred mages with him?
"Yes. Although in this case we should send diplomats to contact them. But after all, it is Master Kavo who is here. I think it is better for you, Ryan, to go there in person..."
When Ymir mentioned the sudden visit of the Glorious Mage Corps, her expression did not show much surprise.
After all, no matter what the intentions of the mage group are, Black Dragon City can handle it now.
Ryan asked, "How long will it take them to get to the city?"
Ymir: “About two hours.”
"oh."
Ryan thought about it and said, "The old man doesn't like crowds, so he doesn't need too many people. Then Your Highness Ymir, please accompany me..."
Regardless of his stance, Ryan felt that Kavo was the most respectable elder he had ever met, both in terms of his abilities and his character.
What's more, he had already guessed the purpose of the visitor's visit, so he should go out of the city to greet him in person.
Ymir: “Okay.”
…
Ryan took a shower, changed into a formal city lord's uniform, and went to the city gate with Ymir to greet them.
He thought that Master Kavo would use magic to cover his tracks and quietly enter the city as he had seen in the past. But surprisingly, Master Kavo did not cast any concealing spells this time, and directly led the magician group to line up to enter the city like normal wasteland hunters.
This group of extraordinary mages naturally attracted everyone's attention.
Soon, someone recognized the identities of Cavo and his group.
"Look, that's Master Kavo from Glory City!"
"Eh... really! And there are [Grand Justice] Mitabi Yarnah, Ward Sabaku, Sabira... and those gray-robed mages following Master Kavo, they are all red-robed great mages of the Glory City!"
"Oh my god. Are they here to cause trouble for Black Dragon City?"
“No, it doesn’t seem like it. Didn’t you see that Lord Ren and Ymir-sama came out of the city to greet us…”
"This...what is going on?"
“…”
Although Ryan didn't care much about aristocratic etiquette, he would not do such a rude thing as making Master Kavo queue up to enter the city.
He and Ymir saw the group of mages and walked straight over.
Ryan greeted with a smile: "Master Kavo, long time no see."
Ymir on the side also performed a princess salute.
Kavo smiled kindly and said, "Friend Ryan, Princess Ymir, long time no see."
After a pause, he looked at the huge city and said with a smile: "Your 'Black Dragon City' has given me and the world a big surprise."
"It's a long story..."
The city gate was not a place for conversation. Ryan smiled and said, "Please come in."
After a pause, he turned to the mages behind Kavo and said, "You all, please come in too."
Everyone said: "Lord Ryan, you are too polite..."
Kavo did not choose to hide his identity, so Ymir naturally arranged for officials to receive the mages in a high-level manner, and the group entered the city in a grand manner.
…
Ryan and Kavo walked into the city.
As they walked, the two started chatting.
Cavo looked at the busy streets and the crowded shops, and said with emotion: "My avatar projection came here half a month ago. At that time, the city was not yet of this scale. I didn't expect that it would have become a majestic city in such a short time. My friend Ryan, you really built a 'city of miracles'..."
"Master Kavo, thank you for your praise."
Ryan smiled and shook his head, saying self-deprecatingly: "I am just a hands-off city lord. His Highness Ymir and everyone else are the biggest contributors to the current size of Black Dragon City."
Hearing this, Kavo smiled and didn't say much.
His wisdom is enough to make him understand everything.
This city was the "Glorious City" that he had dreamed of. Unfortunately, that city had gone astray. In his lifetime, he did not have the energy to build a second Glorious City.
Now I didn’t expect to see this “Black Dragon City”.
Just by looking at the courage of Ryan and Ymir to give up their private lord rights, Kavo knew that this would be the greatest "City of Miracles" of this era!
This is also the most important reason why he decided to come here.
…
The two of them talked about everything from population, economy, and policy...
Ryan never felt any aggressive aura from this old man who was "the first of the ten legends". Cavo always gave people the feeling of a kind and friendly grandfather.
The two of them were quite familiar with each other because of the previous drinking party with Black Wind Leader. Ryan spoke without any hesitation and said, "Master Kavo, let's put it this way. I didn't enjoy the drink to my heart's content last time. Now that you come to Black Dragon City this time, let's have a good drink!"
Kavo also laughed and said, "Hahaha, the old man has also been thinking about this dinner with you."
After a pause, he continued, "However, I'm afraid I'll be bothering you for a little longer this time. Besides, you don't blame me for bringing so many people here without telling them, right?"
In fact, when Ryan heard that this group of mages was coming, he guessed something.
Hearing what Kavo said, he said bluntly: "In fact, I am dissatisfied with what you said. I still want to ask you to stay in Black Dragon City. I have kept in mind what you said about the librarian last time. Although the library in our city has not been built yet, the location has been reserved, waiting for you to come..."
“Hahaha…Okay!”
Cavo laughed heartily.
He agreed on the spot without beating around the bush, and then said, "When I came here before, I saw the recruitment notice posted in the city and heard that Black Dragon College was short of teachers. So, I, an old man, was looking for a job for my disciples, and now I'm bothering you..."
Ryan's face was full of joy: "You are most welcome!"
The faculty of their "Black Dragon Academy" is indeed a little weak now. The Mechanic Academy, Medical Academy, and Warrior Academy are barely supported by the top professional masters, but the Magician Academy is a weak link.
Moreover, the city's population is booming, and the academy is in great need of extraordinary mentors.
And the Glorious City is the only force, other than the "Magicians' Guild", that has a complete magic system inheritance!
Now the arrival of these Glory City magicians brought by Master Kavo not only solved the urgent problem and made up for the shortcomings, but also raised to a higher level.
As for the disciples that Kavo brought with him...
In fact, when entering the city, Ryan took a quick look and the system had already identified the identities of the high-level mages in the Mage Corps.
There is not a single member of the five major families.
Obviously, these are Master Kavo's "direct subordinates".
The establishment of the Glorious City was a country, which was very different from Kavo's original concept of building the city.
Therefore, in addition to the five major families and those quite aristocratic people, some people were also "excluded".
These are the "true followers" who uphold the concept of Cavo's "Free City".
Even though they were also people who failed in the political struggle, with the strength of Master Kavo and these high-level wizards, they could be treated as high-ranking officials and generous salaries anywhere in the two empires.
Choosing to come to their Black Dragon City shows that Kavo is optimistic about the future of their Black Dragon City and also about Ryan. Although these hundreds of people are not many, they make Black Dragon City more powerful and the future is promising.
…
Master Kavo informed them of the purpose of their visit, and the group of mages was warmly welcomed by the residents of Black Dragon City.
They no longer visited as guests, but joined the city as permanent residents.
Ymir and the officials were responsible for arranging some matters related to the arrival of the Mages, while Ryan was strolling around the city with Kavo.
When he walked to the center of Black Dragon Avenue and saw the giant stone sculpture of Ryan, Cavo's expression suddenly became solemn and he said, "Actually, I came here this time to tell you something very important. Kipling Winster is not dead. Moreover, not only is he not dead, but now he has caused a very thorny problem. He has called on all the cities of Glory to start believing in the evil god. The people of the five major families have given their souls to the evil god and have completely fallen..."
For the indigenous people of the Ice Ridge Wasteland, all gods except the "Seventy-two Generals" are evil gods.
They firmly believe in the teachings left by their ancestors and believe in evil gods, which will bring destruction to the world and drag everyone into the abyss.
“…”
Ryan listened quietly, frowning slightly.
He had actually learned that Kipling was not dead from Hei Jin's intelligence before.
However, he did not expect to hear something more serious from Kavo.
Kavo said: "I don't know what means Kipling used to make the residents of the city believe in an evil god. But now the statues of the three-eyed evil god have appeared everywhere in the whole Glorious City. Even some of my old acquaintances and friends have become devout believers of the evil god. Their crazy behavior makes me feel terrified..."
"this……"
When Ryan heard this, he felt something was wrong.
Kavo's description made him see the following picture: all the people in the Glorious City were kneeling devoutly before the statue, praying for the coming of the evil god.
Ryan has never believed in any gods, but he knows that getting everyone to believe in something in a short period of time is definitely a problem!
Kavo continued, "I fought against the 'Will of the Evil God' in the Glorious City once before. Even though I unlocked the seal of the body, I was unable to defeat that will. I even know that even if we both perish, I cannot destroy that trace of will. It has already spread, and it will not disappear. Fortunately, this world has the limit of the fifth level of extraordinary, otherwise if the evil god descends, the world will probably be doomed forever..."
Hearing this, Ryan looked at Kavo in shock: "Your original form also failed to defeat him?"
Is the evil god's will so strong?
Maybe even the “best in the world” Cavo has never played against him?
Can't even kill a trace of will?
Kavo nodded, his face becoming more and more solemn. "After the fight, I felt it more deeply. I guess that behind that 'will' is probably not some ancient remnant, but a living god! I didn't expect that there are living gods in this world. He is absorbing the power of faith and becoming stronger and stronger. Perhaps one day it will bring disastrous consequences..."
Now that Cavo has chosen to join Black Dragon City, there is naturally nothing to hide.
Hearing this, Ryan's eyes turned and he said solemnly: "Master Kavo, the information I know about this 'evil god' may explain some of it. To be honest, we have confirmed that there are humans above the fifth level of transcendence outside the fog. That 'evil god'... if nothing unexpected happens, it is the foreigner who defeated the [Black Emperor] Moises..."
"What?!"
Hearing this, Kavo's eyes remained fixed.
