Chapter 76 A Big Benefit
Cunning and suspicious.
This is what Ryan had long known about the nature of werewolves.
Even if Irubek hadn't reminded him to be careful when going out, he could have guessed that Basel must be waiting for him somewhere outside.
The combat power of this man who was once one of the "Top Ten Legendary Demon Hunters" has now fallen to the bottom, and any random enemy may pose a fatal threat to him.
Therefore, he would definitely be extremely cautious to prevent his whereabouts from being disclosed.
Previously in the laboratory, in addition to Irubek, whom Basel was sure would not reveal his whereabouts, there was another outsider.
That was Ryan.
…
The dark alley is littered with rusty pipes.
In the lower level area of the mechanical city that never sees light all year round, the squeaking sounds of rats and the hissing sounds of leaking steam pipes are particularly clear.
Ryan stood there, stroking a piece of ice crystal in his hand, and then shouted to the depths of the deserted alley: "Mr. Bazel, come out."
His tone was firm, his expression was calm, and he looked very intimidating.
It’s not that he discovered anything, it was just a test.
He was a legendary warrior and a werewolf who was good at tracking and stealth. Even if his realm had fallen, he would definitely not be discovered by a rookie like Ryan.
After a few moments of silence, as expected, a cold response came from the darkness.
"Oh? You knew I was waiting for you?"
As the sound gradually got closer, a burly figure gradually walked out of the darkness.
Looking closely at his appearance, who else could it be but [White Wolf] Basel?
…
"Yes, Mr. Irubek told me to go out and say hello to you."
Ryan responded with a calm expression, but he was actually extremely nervous.
Even though he had beaten up this legend before, he did not dare to underestimate him at all.
This legendary boss was once a top figure standing at the top of the two empires. It is impossible for him not to have some trump cards in his hand.
Even though his own combat power was limited by the [Silver Sacred Artifact], Ryan felt that it would be easy for him to kill him.
Therefore, he chose to "take the initiative" and announced his relationship with Irubek at the first opportunity.
This guy was planning to assassinate him silently.
…
"oh?"
Sure enough, when Basel heard this, the murderous intent in his eyes paused for a moment.
He looked Ryan up and down with suspicion, with an expression of disbelief in his eyes: "Are you Dr. Irubek's disciple?"
After a pause, he asked in a suspicious tone: "Haha, the doctor will actually accept new apprentices?"
Obviously, he didn't believe it.
“…”
When Ryan heard this, he suddenly felt that there might be some hidden reason why Irubek had made it so difficult for him to get started.
But he also knew that this little connection alone was not enough to stop the cunning werewolf in front of him from thinking of killing to silence him.
Killing him now would prevent future troubles. Even if he risked being investigated by Irubek, that guy probably wouldn't want to take the risk of his whereabouts being exposed.
…
Of course, Basel had originally intended to assassinate Ryan silently, but now his whereabouts had been revealed.
But, there is no difference.
He felt that even if it would offend Irubek, this kid had to be dealt with.
…
Ryan guessed what Bazel was thinking at the moment.
Therefore, before the other party could make a move, he dropped a bombshell: "The teacher told me about your injuries, and I... can just solve the hidden danger of the [Silver Sacred Artifact] in your body!"
Sure enough, as soon as these words came out, Basel's face changed drastically.
"What! Can you cure the injuries in my body?"
Bazel was ecstatic at first, but his reasoning calmed him down in an instant. He narrowed his eyes, gleaming with coldness: "Haha... kid, are you trying to delay time?"
In his opinion, even if the boy in front of him was really a disciple of Dr. Irubek, your teacher said that he was "hopeless", so how could you have the audacity to say that he could be saved?
The only explanation is that he wanted to delay time and find a chance to survive...
While speaking, Basel looked around, but did not notice any third person following him, which made him very confused.
But even if there was only a glimmer of hope, he was unwilling to give up.
Otherwise, if he really wants to kill someone, this experienced hunter won’t say a word.
He was waiting for Ryan's next explanation. If he was not satisfied, he would kill him immediately!
Ryan's scalp tingled under the pressure of Basel's domineering aura.
Without saying a word, he raised his hand, revealing the silk threads lingering between his fingers, and said, "I am a surgeon-level extraordinary, and this is my unique extraordinary ability. Just now, I used this ability to remove a 'fine needle' from your body..."
"you……"
With Basel's eyesight, how could he not see the silver needle as thin as a pen hair in the string?
This ghost thing has tortured him for so long, if cutting off his arm and flesh can solve this hidden danger, he will do it without hesitation. Unfortunately, those fine needles are densely inserted into every inch of the meridians, leaving no way for him to do anything.
But how did this guy manage to remove such a fine needle that even precision medical instruments could ?
Even though he had cultivated a state of mind that would not change his face even if a mountain collapsed in front of him, the legendary figure Bazel couldn't help but feel anxious at this moment and asked, "How... did you do that?!"
The murderous intent in Basel's eyes was instantly covered by the light of hope. This was the only hope he saw that could keep him alive and allow him to return to the top!
At this moment, he truly believed that the young man in front of him was really capable of healing the injuries caused by the [Silver Sacred Artifact].
…
Seeing Bazel's anxious expression, Ryan secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said calmly: "This is my unique extraordinary ability. As for how to do it... I will try it again and you will know."
He emphasized once again that this was a "unique skill" in case the werewolf suddenly lost his mind and did something thoughtless.
"oh?"
When Basel heard this, he obviously understood.
But he didn't rush Ryan to try it. Instead, he narrowed his eyes slightly.
Being suspicious by nature, the werewolf would not trust a human so easily, and instead asked, "If I want you to heal me, what do you want?"
The timing of this young man's appearance was too coincidental, which made people wonder whether he had other purposes.
…
The more you talk to a powerful person, the more you should not be petty.
If you want something, the best option is to just throw out your chips and state your conditions.
Therefore, Ryan directly stated his purpose and said, "I will treat your injuries, but I also need you to protect my safety for a while."
"hehe."
Hearing this, Bazel sneered and said sinisterly: "Aren't you afraid that I will kill you?"
Obviously, he also guessed that Ryan was impressed by his former strength and wanted to threaten him with medical treatment, probably wanting to sign some kind of "slave contract".
By then, wouldn't it be ridiculous that I, one of the "Ten Legendary Demon Hunters", would become this kid's thug?
"Afraid."
These words sounded murderous, but Ryan was very calm.
Because he was sure that Basel would never give up this only opportunity.
He added: "My teacher has just told you that your injury cannot be cured by the entire medical community. I am the only one who knows this secret method. If you don't want me to treat you, we can just go our separate ways."
Those who are barefoot are not afraid of those who wear shoes.
Having lost the only chance to deal with the [Silver Sacred Artifact], Bazel will be dead sooner or later!
Ryan was very sure that if it really came to a gamble, Basel would definitely not gamble his life with an unknown guy.
…
"Haha, do you think I will let you go if you know where I am?"
When Basel heard this, he sneered and his eyes were so cold that it seemed as if he wanted to cut Ryan into pieces.
Of course Ryan knew he couldn't leave.
He directly stated all the conditions and said, "After all, you are a powerful legendary transcendent. I only need you to protect my safety when necessary. Of course, for this purpose we can sign an 'equal employment contract' in advance. I think this should not be too difficult for you."
“…”
When he heard the term "equal employment contract", Basel's eyes became a little subtle.
Although he was still tough, he was already weighing the pros and cons in his heart. If it was just like this, it was still within the acceptable range.
Ryan wasn't talking either.
Basel knew that he had to ask for help from others, so he was at a disadvantage from the beginning of the negotiation and had to give in in the end.
After pondering for a while, he asked tentatively: "If you can really pull out the fine needles in my body, I will protect you for free. But this contract...how long do you plan to sign it?"
Bazel thought that the employment period would definitely not be short. No one would give up such a good opportunity to raise the price. He had even made a mental plan to hire for ten or eight years...
But to his surprise, Ryan gave a very short time limit: "Three years."
"Three years?"
Basel's expression was slightly strange.
Three years is not a long time considering the long lifespan of werewolves.
He looked at Ryan and suddenly felt that he could not figure this young man .
"Yes, three years."
Ryan nodded and confirmed again, "I need you to do your best to protect my safety in the next three years."
It's not that he doesn't want to say more. If possible, he really wants to sign a generational slavery contract with this werewolf.
But he knew that was simply impossible, and doing so would only anger a legendary strong man.
Only when you give people hope will they abide by the contract wholeheartedly.
Otherwise, even if Bazel agreed temporarily, he might cause trouble in the future. The so-called contract would only become a time bomb.
…
Basel knew that the other party had guessed that he would definitely not kill anyone, so he stopped pretending to be cool.
Moreover, this kid was also very sensible and did not make any excessive demands.
In transactions involving magic contracts, there is no need to worry about the other party playing tricks.
He agreed: "I can agree to sign a three-year contract for hired bodyguards. But the contract must state that I am only responsible for protecting your safety and will not help you do other things."
In this way, the content of the contract is limited to being a bodyguard, not a thug who kills and burns people.
Ryan agreed immediately: "Sure!"
The two straightforward people agreed on the deal in just a few words.
At this time, Bazel said again: "Before signing the contract, let me see your healing ability first."
"no problem."
Ryan quietly put away the ice crystal in his hand, then walked over and casually touched Bazel's arm.
This guy's body was filled with densely packed silver needles, but they were easily pulled out with the "Gang line".
Looking at the silver needle between Ryan's fingers, Bazel's eyes became brighter and brighter, "It really works!"
He asked again expectantly, "How long will it take you to completely get rid of the needle problem in my body?"
Unexpectedly, Ryan shook his head and said, "I don't know. Half a year, a year, or maybe even longer..."
"have no idea?"
Excited, Bazel immediately frowned and asked, "What do you mean?"
"As you can see, I am still an Awakener who has just entered the transcendent realm."
Ryan said: "I am still very weak now, and the efficiency of extracting the silver needles is not high. Moreover, because the number of silver needles in your body is dense now, I can easily extract them. But if the number of silver needles in your body decreases later, it will take more and more time to extract them... So, I can't guarantee when I can completely extract them."
This is also the reason why Ryan only proposed a three-year contract.
As long as the needle damage is not completely eliminated, Basel will never leave.
After three years, you can renew the contract.
…
After hearing this, Basel fell into deep thought. What the boy said was indeed true.
In a blink of an eye, he asked, "How can your 'Fighting Spirit Thread' improve its healing efficiency ?"
Ryan: "If the fighting spirit is strong enough, more threads can be formed."
Bazel was also cunning. He asked, "Can others practice your secret method?"
Three-legged toads are hard to find, but extraordinary people with strong fighting spirit are everywhere.
"I don't think so."
Ryan had anticipated this, and without waiting for the other party to suspect, he took out the secret method without hesitation and said, "I can show you the secret formula."
He was sure that others might covet this secret method. But the one in front of him was a "Ten Legends" who had inherited a complete set of "Seventy-two Legendary God General Sequence"!
What's more, if you are not in the "Combat Medic Series", this skill is useless as a gift.
“…”
After reading the formula of the exercise, not long after.
The well-informed Basel also gave up.
He had long guessed that since this technique was the only secret method that could heal the injuries in his body, how could it be easy to practice?
"'Condensing Qi into Gang'... It is truly a fantastic secret technique. If I am right, it is an exclusive skill of the Legendary level."
Bazel was amazed, but he was also more curious. He turned to stare at Ryan and asked, "There is no shortcut for anyone to practice this level of Dou Qi micro-control. How did you learn it?"
Ryan: "I don't know. Maybe I'm just gifted."
“…”
Although this statement is a bit shameless, it is also the only reasonable explanation. The difficulty of getting started with many exercises does vary from person to person, otherwise there would be no such thing as talent.
This "gifted" medical apprentice in front of him is the best and only choice.
Bazel immediately gave up the idea of relying on himself or finding someone else to practice this method to speed up the treatment progress.
He then asked, "Boy, what energy breathing method are you practicing now?"
Ryan took out the breathing method again and said frankly: "The Holy Shield Knight Breathing Method."
Bazel looked at him with a dark face: "Black Iron level?"
Ryan: “Yes.”
"Damn it, this is such a low-level breathing method. How long will it take you to practice it until you can advance to the next level?!"
Bazel was angry: "Forget it, if you want to take the extraordinary route, I will think of a way for you..."
…
After hearing this, Ryan knew what he wanted, and it was settled.
He had long expected that even if the emperor was not anxious, the eunuch would be.
In order to heal his injuries as quickly as possible, this werewolf will definitely take the initiative to help him improve his strength...
This is also the main reason why Ryan took the risk to contact Basel and sign a guard contract .
In three years, he, who possessed the "intelligent brain", had been able to extract a lot from Bazel, one of the "Ten Legendary Demon Hunters"...
